"Finally arrived at Qingyun Sect..."

Su Xing took a deep breath, his heart rippling with a mix of emotions.

Though he had come here many times in simulations, this was Su Xing's first visit to Qingyun Sect in reality.

"This time, I come to resolve cause and effect..."

Su Xing muttered to himself, then stepped forward.

In the next second, Su Xing appeared at the Outer Sect Hall of Luo Qingyun Sect.

This was the place where Qingyun Sect received cultivators both inside and outside the sect.

Su Xing came to resolve cause and effect, so he naturally didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble, deciding to enter through conventional means.

...

In the Outer Sect Hall, an old Taoist with a clean white beard sized up Su Xing and asked:

"This... fellow Daoist, why have you come to my Qingyun Sect?"

Su Xing glanced at the old Taoist, noting his Heavenly Immortal cultivation level; not bad, but just the Welcoming Elder of the Outer Sect.

Without saying much, Su Xing took out a token.

The ancient token had the words "Qingyun" inscribed on it.

After taking the token, the old Taoist perused it with a few puzzled glances; it seemed familiar, yet he couldn't quite recall it.

Suddenly, the old Taoist seemed to think of something, his voice tinged with a tremor.

"Is... is it the return of the Second-Generation Ancestor?"

The so-called Second-Generation Ancestor naturally referred to the second-generation disciples of Qingyun Sect.

But Qingyun Sect had nearly a hundred generations of disciples; for the ordinary disciples, a second-generation direct disciple was naturally an ancestor.

Su Xing nodded slightly and said:

"I have been cultivating outside for many years and now return, with no acquaintances in the sect... Please go and report this!"

Upon hearing this, the old Taoist nodded quickly, then took out a sound transmitting magical treasure to call for others.

The second-generation direct disciples were just a few; the old Taoist was confident he knew them all, yet he had never met this Su Xing.

Still, he dared not be negligent and said:

"Ancestor has been away for many years, and this disciple truly does not recognize you. Please wait a moment..."

Su Xing nodded slightly, not saying much, just quietly waiting.

After a while, several immortals in mysterious robes arrived, their auras suggesting True Immortal or Profound Immortal Realm.

They might have been third-generation or fourth-generation disciples of Qingyun Sect.

However, after sizing up Su Xing, these disciples looked at each other, unrecognizing, and said:

"This... martial uncle? Who is your founding ancestor, may we know?"

Upon seeing this, Su Xing sighed and said:

"I am taught by Qing Yunzi, as an apprentice accepted outside... Please find Senior Sister Ziling!"

Upon hearing this, the disciples were startled, knowing that a personal disciple of Ancestor Qingyun naturally held an extremely high status.

Thus, these disciples hurriedly sought to notify Immortal Ziling.

About half an hour later, Su Xing saw a woman in a purple long dress, her appearance beautiful and her demeanor aloof.

The visitor was indeed Immortal Ziling!

Upon scrutinizing Su Xing, Immortal Ziling furrowed her brow and said:

"Who are you? I seem... not to know you..."

Su Xing retrieved the Qingyun Token, handing it to Immortal Ziling, and said:

"Senior Sister, I am the personal disciple taken by the master's avatar tens of thousands of years ago... The token can verify my identity!"

Upon hearing this, Immortal Ziling instinctively wanted to refute; Qing Yunzi had not been seen for over a hundred thousand years, so how could he have accepted disciples?

But then Immortal Ziling thought of something, her expression changed slightly, and she quickly beckoned to Su Xing:

"Please follow me... to discuss in the back mountain of the second-generation disciples!"

Saying this, Immortal Ziling dismissed the onlooking disciples.

But those disciples were all talking amongst themselves.

"Goodness, is it truly the Second-Generation Ancestor? I've cultivated for a thousand years and this is the first time I've seen one!"

"Tsk tsk... Being accepted as a disciple by Ancestor Qingyun, the aptitude must be absolutely superior! The cultivation level, at the very least, must be at the Golden Immortal!"

"Our Qingyun Sect is about to have another Golden Immortal Ancestor!"

...

Meanwhile, Su Xing followed Immortal Ziling to the main hall in the back mountain where the second-generation disciples resided.

With Immortal Ziling continuously transmitting messages, several second-generation disciples appeared in this hall.

Su Xing casually sensed around, noting that the second-generation disciples of Qingyun Sect were indeed considerably strong.

Almost all had reached Golden Immortal Completion, with one having stepped into the Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm.

Seeing there were no outsiders around, Immortal Ziling set up a barrier and then asked with relief:

"Junior Brother, are you telling the truth? Were you really taken as a disciple by the master's avatar?"

"Where exactly was this, and when were you accepted as a disciple?"

Su Xing understood the thoughts of these second-generation disciples.

Qing Yunzi had not been seen for over a hundred thousand years, even these disciples did not know his whereabouts and believed he had perished.

Only Su Xing knew that Qing Yunzi was currently hiding in the forbidden area of the back mountain, having activated a grand formation, suppressing an evil corpse alone!

But Su Xing spun a reason and said:

"I was born in a small world... It has been seventy thousand years since I was accepted as a disciple."

"So, the master certainly still exists... I have come on the master's order this time..."

"The master is currently in the forbidden area of the Three Immortals Peak in the back mountain!"

Su Xing's words were like a thunderbolt out of a clear sky!

One second-generation disciple, upon hearing this, was so excited that their voice trembled:

"Junior Brother, are you serious?"

Su Xing nodded and said: "Naturally, it's true..."

"However, the master is now in some crisis, having summoned me back for a private conversation; I wish to meet with the master!"

Hearing Su Xing's words, the other disciples discussed amongst themselves, quickly reaching a conclusion.

"Junior Brother, how about this?"

"Since the master is in seclusion at the Three Immortals Peak, we dare not disturb...

"Since the master has summoned you, how about you go with Junior Sister Ziling?"

Clearly, these second-generation disciples were not fully trusting of Su Xing, so they wanted Immortal Ziling to accompany him.
