I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 1295

Chapter 1295: Chapter 498: The Ancestor Arrives! Disciplining the Tianshu Pavilion! (Part 2)

In her hand, a Daoist nun with frosty-white hair and a face like ancient jade held a horsetail whisk and spoke softly, "For the past half year, I haven’t stopped thinking about you, fearing that during your trip down the mountain, you would be so distracted by the mundane affairs of the world that you would forget your identity."

Ling Ningzhi’s heart tightened, and she bowed her head, saying, "Great Elder, you jest. I always remember my responsibilities and dare not forget!"

"Is that so?" The Daoist nun neither confirmed nor denied, her gaze shifting to Chen Mo. She said lightly, "If I’m not mistaken, this must be the sweetheart who haunts your dreams, isn’t he? Isn’t it enough for you to fool around outside? Do you have to bring him into the sect as well?"

"Don’t forget, he’s a person from the court!"

"Disciple..."

Ling Ningzhi had no time to speak before Zhu Huai, who was leaning on a crutch, interrupted, "Enough, Xuan Ying, stop being sarcastic here. Chen Mo is a Honored Guest Elder personally appointed by the Venerable. If you have a problem, you can raise it with her when she comes out. Why make things difficult for the young ones?"

"The sudden lifting of the ban by the Venerable has caused restlessness among the disciples, not only hindering their cultivation but also tarnishing the reputation of Tianshu Pavilion."

"As the Heritage Elder, it’s my duty to uphold the foundation of the sect, to correct and prevent the Venerable from straying farther down the wrong path."

Xuan Ying, hands behind her back, spoke calmly, "When the Venerable exits seclusion, I will explain the stakes to her, asking her to rescind the order and revoke Chen Mo’s position as Tributor... For now, Mr. Chen, please leave. Tianshu Pavilion does not welcome you."

"Someone, see the guest out!"

"Ha, just because you say so doesn’t mean it will happen. You’re like a toad trying to climb onto a dining table, thinking you’re something special?" Zhu Huai tapped her crutch forcefully, coldly stating, "Chen Mo is my lifesaver. I want to see who dares to drive him away today!"

Their standoff was intense, the atmosphere charged with tension.

The elders sensed the discord and collectively lowered their heads, remaining silent.

These two were a Heritage Elder and a Law Enforcement Elder, esteemed figures within the sect, second only to the Daoist Venerable. No one dared provoke them.

"Ahem."

Then, Chen Mo cleared his throat, interrupting, "It seems there’s a misunderstanding. You think I want to be this Honored Guest Elder? It doesn’t matter if it’s revoked; I don’t care."

"Don’t care?" Xuan Ying snorted, "If that’s the case, then why come to Tianshu Pavilion?"

Xuan Ying, having served during the tenure of the previous sect leader, was an elder with two regimes’ worth of experience.

After years of practicing the Forget Love Path, she had long cut off worldly ties and emotions, embodying the conservative "traditionalist" faction. She was quite dissatisfied with Ji Hongxiu’s sudden amendment of the sect’s general principles, believing it would erode the sect’s foundation.

Now with Chen Mo suddenly appearing without warning, she suspected he intended to leverage the favor from saving lives in the Qingzhou Secret Realm to cement his status as Honored Guest Elder.

Thinking this, her disdain grew even more.

"I’ve come for the Daoist Venerable. Her Divine Soul is weakening and could be in danger at any moment." Chen Mo stepped forward with a deep voice, "I don’t have time to argue with you now, take me to see her immediately."

Divine Soul weakening?

Upon hearing this, everyone exchanged glances.

"Utter nonsense!" Xuan Ying waved her horsetail whisk and sneered, "The Venerable’s power is unmatched. How dare you presume to speak! If you continue spouting lies, don’t blame me for being unkind!"

Zhu Huai also appeared puzzled, whispering, "Mr. Chen, how do you know the Venerable is in danger?"

Chen Mo said nothing further, but activated his Dao power, revealing a phantom peach tree at his back.

Its canopy was like clouds, its branches lush; on the left, peach blossoms in pale pink, while the right showcased pure white, distinct yet harmonious.

"This, this is..."

Xuan Ying’s pupils contracted sharply, staring in disbelief at the peach tree, "This is the Venerable’s Dharma Image?!"

The area fell into dead silence, followed by an uproar!

"Dual Souls in one body, life and decay as twins, it’s indeed the Venerable’s Dharma Image!"

"But why... why does the Venerable’s Divine Soul Origin reside in Mr. Chen?!"

"Am I dreaming? How is this possible?!"

With everyone’s keen eyes, they could discern this was no Illusion Technique, and the extremely pure Cause and Effect Dao power could not be counterfeit...

But why would the Daoist Venerable entrust her Great Dao’s foundation to Chen Mo?

What truly was the relationship between the two?

Zhu Huai held her crutch, her heart pounding fiercely.
