(Qing Yu Mountain)
Once there was a small Taoist temple here, and there was also a Taoist with some cultivation in the temple, but that was hundreds of years ago.
Now, this Taoist temple has become a large one, and the Taoist who once had some cultivation have also aged.
With the major sects of cultivation opening their doors, anyone with a talent for immortality could come to the mountains to cultivate.
Inside these small Taoist temples, there were also quite a few cultivators practicing righteous immortal techniques.
So, the small Taoist temples naturally became residences for immortals.
At this moment, some elders in the temple were conducting morning exercises.
Suddenly, a stream of light fell from the sky in front of the temple, and revealed a stunning woman.
The woman was dressed in a pure snow-white Taoist robe. She bowed to the small Taoist guarding the gate and said: “Dear Taoists, please announce that Great Immortal Sect Qingxue is here to see Taoist Qing Yu.”
“What, from the Great Immortal Sect… Master Qing Yun?!!”
The two gatekeeping Taoists couldn’t help but look astonished.
This was the immortal leader of the Great Immortal Sect!
Then, one of the Taoists bowed to Qingxue and said:
“Greetings, Master Qingxue… Master Qingxue, please forgive our ignorance. Our ancestor, Taoist Qing Yu, passed away a hundred years ago.”
“Is that so?”
Upon hearing this, Qingxue furrowed her eyebrows slightly and said: “If that’s the case, then who is the current head of your temple?”
“It’s our master, Taoist Ming Xing.” The Taoist replied.
“In that case, I will visit Taoist Ming Xing.” Qingxue said.
“Yes, please come in, and we will inform our master right away.”
The two gatekeeping Taoists naturally didn’t dare neglect the arrival of the immortal from the Great Immortal Sect and quickly invited Qingxue inside.
Soon, the Qing Yu temple head, Taoist Ming Xing, came before Qingxue, bowed to her, and welcomed her: “Master Qingxue of the Great Immortal Sect, welcome to our humble temple. We apologize for not welcoming you from afar.”
“Taoist, you are too polite.”
Qingxue returned the greeting and said:
“Today, I intended to visit your esteemed Taoist Qing Yu, but to my regret, I learned that he has already ascended to immortality. It’s a pity.”
“Hehe, our patriarch can’t compare to the immortal leader of your Great Immortal Sect, who can live a long life.”
Taoist Ming Xing smiled and said:
“Although the Great Immortal Sect has only been established for three generations, our Qing Yu temple has been around for generations.”
Then, Taoist Ming Xing smiled and asked Qingxue, “I wonder if there is any particular matter that brings Master Qingxue here? If there’s anything I can help with, please don’t hesitate to ask.”
“It’s because of an old grievance.” Qingxue spoke up.
“Ah?!!”
Upon hearing this, Taoist Ming Xing couldn’t help but look shocked.
What?
Their ancestor had offended an immortal from the Great Immortal Sect?
Ah!!!
Seeing Taoist Ming Xing’s shocked expression, Qingxue knew he had misunderstood. So, she explained calmly: “Taoist, there’s no need to panic. It’s not an old grievance between your temple and me. It’s just an old grievance that needs your help to explain.”
“I see.”
Taoist Ming Xing breathed a sigh of relief.
“Master Qingxue, please go on.”
“To be honest, when I was young and had not yet entered the path of immortality, I was harmed by a demonic fox. As a result, I became enemies with my husband, and hatred lingered until today. I only recently understood the truth. I heard that the demonic fox was subdued by the ancestor of your temple, Taoist Qing Yu. I wonder if it is still imprisoned.”
Qingxue said.
“Oh? Is that so…” Taoist Ming Xing hesitated for a moment.
Cultivators emphasized having a calm mind and usually didn’t seek revenge. Especially since the demonic fox had already been subdued and could no longer harm anyone, there was no need to seek revenge.
However, this was only the general situation. If personal grievances weren’t resolved, it could affect one’s state of mind and hinder cultivation progress.
So, it wasn’t a big deal for Qingxue to come seeking revenge.
However, the Qing Yu temple has always imprisoned demons to prevent them from harming others and to give them a chance to reform. This was the principle of their temple.
Now, if they released the fox demon just for Qingxue to seek revenge, it would go against their principles… But offending Master Qingxue was also unwise. She came with such momentum, and it would be difficult not to let her resolve this grievance.
“Please don’t worry, Taoist.”
Qingxue understood Taoist Ming Xing’s concern and said: “If the demonic fox has truly reformed, I will not trouble it anymore. But if its evil nature remains, today may be the day it meets its end.”
“In that case, that’s good.”
Taoist Ming Xing breathed a sigh of relief.
He didn’t want to offend Elder Qingxue from the Great Immortal Sect, but it wouldn’t be appropriate if they violated their ancestral teachings because of this matter. Since Qingxue promised not to trouble the demonic fox if it had reformed, he felt relieved.
“Please follow me, Master Qingxue.”
Saying so, Taoist Ming Xing led the way ahead.
Qingxue naturally followed behind him, and the duo headed toward the place where the Qing Yu temple imprisoned demons.
“Taoist, Taoist, I was wrong, please let me out!!!”
“Taoist, I promise not to harm anyone anymore.”
Inside the prison where demons were held, when they saw someone coming in, the demons inside started pleading for mercy.
