Immortal Mansion: With mediocre qualifications, I have no choice but to live forever

"That's unreasonable!"

Hearing his fellow junior students' cautious requests, Baili Jing's emotions, which had just calmed down, were stirred up again.

"My disciples from Wangu Mountain have never been bound by the Netherworld Demon Sect. When did we fall to this point today?"

Seeing that Baili Jing was about to have an attack again, Zhou Yiqiao hurriedly spoke.

"Although the process was somewhat difficult, now everything has been overcome. As long as the eldest brother is willing to temporarily come out of seclusion to protect the brothers and sisters for a period of time, until they fully recover, this matter will be temporarily over."

However, this seemingly simple request from Zhou Yiqiao and the other three stumped Baili Jing.

Baili Jing's expression suddenly became complicated for some reason. He gently stroked the teacup in his hand, looking through the entrance of the cave. No one knew what he was thinking.

"It's not that Senior Brother is unwilling..."

He opened his mouth, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't know how to start.

The cave fell into silence for a moment, and no one knew what Baili Jing was thinking.

After a while, he seemed to have made a decision and looked up at Zhou Yiqiao and the other three again.

"Don't worry, fellow students. I will definitely take care of you this time!"

After saying that, Baili Jing stood up and walked out of the cave.

"Brothers and sisters, please take a rest for a while. I will go and take care of things here, and then we will return to Wangu Mountain together."

Before Zhou Yiqiao and the other three could react, they watched Baili Jing leave the cave on its own.

Several people looked at each other, feeling surprised and confused.

What surprised them was that Baili Jing's attitude changed so quickly that he agreed to their request without hesitation; what was puzzling was what the "thing" he was talking about was in this desolate mountain area.

While they were still confused, Baili Jing had already walked out of the cave, soared into the air, and disappeared from their sight.

Bailijing flew all the way towards the endless sea, and in a moment, it flew out of the range that Zhou Yiqiao and the other three could sense.

"I will temporarily leave my post to help my fellow juniors solve the problems they are facing now."

Baili Jing whispered towards the empty sea, as if explaining or asking for permission from some invisible being.

The sea breeze blew in with a salty and humid smell, blowing away the loose hair on his forehead and sticking to his handsome and elegant face, making it look a little messy.

Suddenly, delicate ripples appeared on the sea surface, and then a low and majestic voice echoed in the waves.

"Baili Jing, Tianwaitian allows you to stay in Tianchen Realm because of your outstanding talent and extraordinary spiritual awareness. We hope that you can eliminate as many foreign demons as possible that have infiltrated Tianchen Realm."

"Now you say you want to leave your post without permission, but do you know how much damage this will cause to Tianwaitian and the entire Tianchen Realm!?"

Baili Jing paused, but then answered firmly.

"I am aware of my responsibilities, but as a senior brother, I cannot watch my fellow junior brothers and sisters suffer."

"I will deal with the extraterritorial demons in the Tianchen Realm, and I cannot ignore the safety of my fellow apprentices."

The sound in the waves seemed to carry a hint of displeasure.

"You are so determined, have you ever thought about the consequences?"

"If this causes the outer demons that have fled into the Tianchen Realm to take advantage of the opportunity to cause chaos, how can you bear this responsibility?"

Baili Jing lowered his head slightly, was silent for a moment, and then slowly spoke.

"Since I have decided to help my fellow juniors solve their problems, I have naturally thought of all the possibilities."

"If anything goes wrong during this period, I am willing to bear all the consequences."

The waves rolled, and the voice seemed to be silent for a moment, and then spoke slowly.

"Well, since you have made up your mind, I will not stop you."

"But remember, the outer demons are of top priority to the entire Tianchen Realm. You must make a quick decision when you leave this time, without any delay."

"Also, I will report your absence to Daxuantian. You can forget about this year's annual salary."

Before he finished speaking, the sea returned to calm again, as if everything that had just happened was just an illusion.

Baili Jing took a deep breath, bowed towards the empty sea, then turned around without hesitation and returned to the cave.

Zhou Yiqiao and the other three saw that Baili Jing returned in just the time it took to stick of incense, and they became more and more curious about his movements.

"Big Brother, what are you doing?"

Shen Kuo was a straightforward person and immediately asked the question in his mind.

"Nothing, just saying goodbye to a senior."

Baili Jing responded lightly, but there was a barely perceptible solemnity in his eyes.

Fortunately, Baili Jing adjusted his emotions very quickly. Before Zhou Yiqiao and the other three could notice the emotion that flashed across his eyes, they saw that he had returned to his usual indifference and composure.

"Okay, let's stop talking nonsense and set off to return to Wangu Mountain immediately."

Baili Jing waved his sleeves, and a gentle force enveloped Zhou Yiqiao and the other three.

With a flash of light, the five people disappeared from the spot, leaving only a faint afterglow echoing in the cave.

Baili Jing's escape technique was superb. The few people only felt the scene before their eyes change, and they were already in the Wangu Mountain area thousands of miles away.

The group arrived at the foot of Wangu Mountain. Before they could steady themselves, they felt a terrifying sword force surging out from the sword washing pool where Zhou Yiqiao lived, and heading straight for them.

Zhou Yiqiao and the other three could naturally guess the owner of this sword force, but Baili Jing frowned slightly, summoned his companion magic sword "Dengxian", and rushed forward to meet the sword force.

Baili Jing's figure was as fast as lightning, and the "Dengxian" sword in his hand shone brightly. He seemed to be one with the sword, turning into a stream of light and rushing straight into the sky.

Faced with the surging sword force, he did not retreat at all, and his eyes were filled with fighting spirit.

The sword's energy was as powerful as a rainbow. Baili Jing's "Dengxian" sword drew a mysterious trajectory in the air. The tip of the sword flickered with spiritual light, forming a small vortex of spiritual power that guided, dispersed, and swallowed up the sword's energy.

His whole body was filled with spiritual energy, his clothes rustled, and his long hair danced wildly behind him. He was like a god of war, standing tall and unyielding.

"boom!"

The two forces collided in the air, causing a deafening roar.

Baili Jing's sword force was in a stalemate with that sword force, forming a huge cyclone of spiritual power. The surrounding air was distorted and deformed by the collision of this force.

Baili Jing's face was solemn, with a gleam in his eyes. The spiritual power in his body was like a flood that broke through a dam, rushing madly into the "Dengxian" sword.

The sword body made a buzzing sound, as if responding to the call of its master. The sword light became brighter and brighter, almost illuminating the entire sky.

The two forces confronted each other for a while. With Baili Jing's full resistance, the sword force turned into tiny points of light like ice and snow melted by the sun and finally dissipated in the air.

As the sword force dissipated, Li Jianlan and Li Mubai appeared in everyone's sight.

Li Jianlan was dressed in a green shirt, with the magic sword still on his waist, a wine jug in his hand, and a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

He looked at the Baili mirror, a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes, and exclaimed.

"Being able to resist my sword without losing, you can be said to be invincible among your peers."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Yiqiao and the other three were shocked.

Although they knew that Baili Jing was powerful, they didn't expect it to be to this extent.

However, before they had time to digest the information they had received, Li Jianlan smiled and said something even more shocking.

"At this age, you have already reached the initial stage of fusion. I guess you are the eldest senior brother of Wangu Mountain, the Baili Jing, right?"

After these words were spoken, Zhou Yiqiao and the other three were even more stunned.

The fusion stage is a high-level cultivation stage among immortal cultivators. They didn’t expect that their senior brother has already reached such a realm.

Baili Jing also realized the other party's identity. Without waiting for Zhou Yiqiao and the others to introduce themselves, he put away his sword, stood up, bowed to Li Jianlan, and said.

"Senior Li, you are overpraising me. I am just lucky."

Li Jianlan waved his hand and said with a smile.

"No need to be modest, your strength is obvious to all."

"Now that you're back, the thing that Xiaoyou Zhou has been worried about has finally been resolved."

"Brother Zhou has your protection, so he can return to the Tijian Sect with us without any worries."

When Baili Jing heard Li Jianlan mention returning to the Tijian Sect, he was obviously stunned. He turned around in surprise and looked at Zhou Yiqiao for confirmation.

"Junior brother, are you leaving Wangu Mountain?"

Zhou Yiqiao nodded and answered truthfully.

"Junior brother did think about following Senior Li back to the Tijian Sect to develop."

Mu Huairou was afraid that Baili Jing would misunderstand, so she stood up and explained for Zhou Yiqiao.

"Little Junior Brother is right. Not only that, he even invited us to go to the Tijian Sect to avoid disaster."

"It's just that the three of us have considered that our own cultivation has stagnated for hundreds of years. Going to Zhongzhou will only hinder Junior Brother, so we came to look for you, Senior Brother."

"I see."

After listening to Mu Huairou's explanation, Baili Jing's expression eased a little.

At first, he thought that Zhou Yiqiao was planning to betray Wangushan because of Tuoba Qingshan's matter. Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, he feels a lot more relieved.

Baili Jing looked at Zhou Yiqiao and spoke earnestly.

"Little Junior Brother, you have ambitions in your heart, and I will naturally support you."

"But Wangu Mountain is also your home. Whenever you encounter difficulties outside, remember that there is always a place for you to stay here."

When Zhou Yiqiao heard this, a ripple appeared in his heart.

He knew that Baili Jing's words were not only meant for him, but also for Li Jianlan.

Although his eldest senior brother could only barely rely on Li Jianlan's sword power, he still dared to express his attitude in this way. He was undoubtedly expressing his protective feelings for his junior brother in his own way.

Zhou Yiqiao took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and responded seriously.

“Don’t worry, big brother. No matter where I go, Wangu Mountain will always be my root.

Li Jianlan was watching this scene from the side, and he was also quite emotional. He gently patted Zhou Yiqiao on the shoulder and smiled.

"Well, the five-day deadline is up, and we should set off."
