WTF, The Centuries-Old Ancestor In Our Family Take Concubine Again! - Chapter 36

Chapter 36: Heartbroken Sect Leader

“How should I respond to him?” Cultivator Bai asked.

The Sect Leader stared at the killing formation ahead for a considerable amount of time. The formation was invisible and likely had concealed features, making it impossible to see the demonic cultivators inside. But it would be dangerous to step into that area. The killing formation not only prevented anyone from entering the area but also kept the people inside from coming out.

“Just reply with ‘good’,” the Sect Leader said.

Cultivator Bai followed suit and replied with “Good.”

The Sect Leader then asked, “Once we’re out, I’ll release you. Can this slate be activated by simply dripping blood on it?”

“Yes, just a drop of blood is enough, but you can’t be too far away from here,” Cultivator Bai replied.

Upon hearing this, the Sect Leader retrieved the slate.

“Li Su, let’s go,” the Sect Leader said, turning to leave.

After personally assessing the situation, it seemed that the Sect Leader wasn’t planning to act recklessly.

Firstly, the strength of the demonic cultivator inside the formation was unknown. What if they had a Nascent Soul or even stronger?

Secondly, the Sect Leader appeared to have no solution to this formation either. Even if they were to take action, the Sect Leader would likely join forces with the other two immortal sects. Therefore, Li Su picked up Cultivator Bai and followed the Sect Leader without wasting any more words.

In a short while, the two returned to the cave where Su Yun was still waiting.

“Let’s go,” the Sect Leader said as they boarded the flying boat.

It seemed that the Sect Leader had no intention of setting up anything here. There was no need for it.

The underground cave was extremely difficult to find. Cultivator Bai stumbled upon it while being pursued by powerful monsters.

Over the years, he had been the only one to accidentally enter the cave, which explained why the demonic cultivator had given him so many things.

The demonic cultivator was likely desperate inside, and someone finally arrived. Naturally, they wanted to seize the opportunity.

It just so happened that Cultivator Bai was the one who stumbled upon it. If it were Li Su instead, they would have tried to deceive and accumulate their strength to confront him even when their strength was weaker.

“Let’s go, junior sister,” the Sect Leader said, flying onto the flying boat.

“Okay,” Su Yun responded.

The three of them boarded the flying boat once again.

The flying boat soared forward, and after about half an hour, the Sect Leader moved, directing a force towards Cultivator Bai.

Cultivator Bai’s expression changed, and he screamed in agony. His cultivation was completely destroyed.

“I promised to let you go, and you cooperated well. Now, you may leave,” the Sect Leader said indifferently.

Cultivator Bai’s expression changed again.

How was he supposed to leave?

The area below was teeming with monstrous beasts, and even entering the late stage of Qi refining would mean certain death. Now that his cultivation was destroyed, he was just an ordinary person.

“Flying Immortal…” he began to say, full of resentment, but Li Su acted and sealed his mouth.

Then, Li Su lifted him and threw him down.

He kindly supported him and “sent” him to the ground, next to a nest of poisonous insects, ensuring he wouldn’t die from the fall.

That was the Sect Leader’s way of letting him go. How considerate she was.

Cultivator Bai’s expression completely changed. Soon, his screams echoed, but before long, the noise subsided. Given the number of poisonous insects, nothing would be left of him.

The flying boat continued its journey. The Sect Leader showed a certain level of adaptability after all. Li Su found this treatment quite satisfying.

Observing the Sect Leader standing at the front of the flying boat, Li Su couldn’t help but find her tall and captivating figure appealing.

Moreover, from behind, the Sect Leader’s physique was quite impressive.

It reminded Li Su of a phrase.

What a great physique.

If only she could bear his child, how wonderful that would be!

Su Yun glanced at the sect leader and then at Li Su and suddenly felt that Li Su was more suitable than her to be the disciple of the sect leader. She didn’t think there was anything wrong with this arrangement. She found it satisfying as it kept the promise intact.

As an immortal cultivator, it was important not to break promises and to follow through with what one said to maintain a strong belief in one’s path. How could someone with a deceptive and untrustworthy nature like hers have a firm Dao heart during cultivation?

“Li Su, how about I arrange for Su Yun to be betrothed to you?” The sect leader suddenly spoke, surprising even Li Su.

Well, that came out of nowhere. Li Su almost instantly understood the sect leader’s intention. The sect leader wanted to help him sever worldly attachments.

Cultivators could have Taoist companions. When two people developed feelings, they could become Taoist companions and cultivate together, supporting each other. It didn’t necessarily slow down their progress.

However, having too many Taoist companions, like Li Su, would be affected. Unless they resort to some unethical methods, like taking supplements…

But that would only lead to the women suffering. Although Li Su had many concubines, they all flourished naturally and not through the use of such methods. Additionally, there were other unethical methods, like the “Hehuan” technique…

(ED Note: The “Hehuan” technique is an esoteric practice involving sexual union or intimate physical contact for cultivating spiritual energy and harmonizing sexual and spiritual energies.)

But those methods generally didn’t result in offspring, so no one thought of Li Su in that way. With Li Su’s descendants, he could form an entire sect!

Therefore, even though Li Su had many concubines, cultivators never considered him following deviant practices. The sect leader thought Li Su was attached to the mortal world.

“As for your Li family, if you are willing, I can let the Li family replace the royal family. You won’t have to worry about your descendants either,” the sect leader continued.

Indeed, the sect leader’s intention seemed to be to use Su Yun, who was both stunningly beautiful and exceptionally talented, to help Li Su forget about the women in the ordinary world. This way, Li Su could focus solely on cultivation.

Su Yun was qualified for this role. She was not only beautiful but also a genius. Which cultivator within the three major sects wouldn’t want to become her Taoist companion?

At the same time, the sect leader was concerned that Li Su might still yearn for the Li family. By allowing the Li family to replace the royal family, the sect leader provided a good arrangement for the Li family.

It could be said that the sect leader had put a lot of thought into ensuring that Li Su could cultivate like a dedicated and legitimate cultivator.
