In white immortal sect,
The sect leader was with his two elder's waiting for Julie.
Elder mo asked "are you really serious about this old man? Is there really a senior who is so strong and powerful whom Julie met on her trip?"
Elder ruhu added "could it be a scammer or maybe some kind of scheme from our opposing sects like an trap to first fool Julie to believe that there is a senior who is so strong and then you may go with her to meet and then they may attack you there and on the sect here and beat us, what do you think?"
Leader "it could be... But you know it could be very much that it isn't"
Elder ruhu "and why do you say that?"
Leader "because if it would had been like that then there aren't many sects who can go this far and spend so much precious and holy herbs for a scheme and specially none of our enemies have cured my daughter for sure but ofc if you think any can then why don't you tell me which one can?"
To this elder mo and elder ruhu went silent for a moment then agreed to him.
After a while Julie came there and greeted them just not being so formal as they just see each other like everyday "hello father and elder's are you you both elder's coming with us meet senior too?"
Elder mo "yeah Julie, can we?"
"ofc you can" then looking at her father "shall we go now father?"
Her father said yes and as they were about to leave, the leader suddenly felt something weird as his heart jumped and then he looked up in the sky from where an powefull attack was coming down and so he acted quickly and created a sheild to block the attack, he used his full power to hold against that attack but it was so strong that when it struck against the sheild it cracked it quickly and shattered in second and so leader took the attack and got injured badly.
The attack was so strong that everyone got hurt as the shield shattered though elder mo created another sheild which saved Julie and him by a little so they were less injured but leader was too much injured and as the attack stopped Julie and Elder's went closer to the leader to see him.
"Father" as Julie helps him get up from the ground and elder mo helped elder ruhu
leader "I'm ohg okay uhh aah"
Then he looked up in the sky where the attack came from and so Julie and elder looked up and they saw sime old people and many young men were floating in the air looking down on them, they were surely not there for some talk but to attack them.
Leader looked at the guy who was leading them and said with a forced smile with pale face "so does the Iron martial sect here to bully smaller sect than them"
Why are you attacking us? Weren't enemies, then what should I think of this mister kao?
That man who was leading the fleet to attack and was in front and the person who attacked the leader was named kao.
He replied to the leader saying yes they aren't enemies but now their leaders disciple is going to marry daughter of the fallen stone sect leader's and now since they are relatives they asked to destroy your sect and I'm the one assigned to do this therefore i apologize to you old man but you have to die and we must destroy your sect.
Do you think we're so weak that we can't defend ourselves and will die? You are overestimating yourself, he then took out an jade token and put a drop of his blood which activated an formation which was their sects defense formation and it was so strong that no one can destroy that easily then he looked back in the sky and said that they can't break our sects defense formation you're not strong enough so i still give you a chance to retreat before I start killing formation too.
He held the jade token tightly as he said that and coughed some blood.
Julie holding him looked worried about her father and mad on the attackers said "father why are you giving them a chance we are not that weak"
elder mo and elder ruhu were also ready to fight them.
kao didn't said anything and gestured his people to attack as he took out a bracelet and wore it which then started to glow and some weird power came out of it covering Kao's hand like a glove made of smoke.
When Julie's father saw this he froze and then said "devil fan bracelet"
Julie asked him what is that father?
He replied "we're doomed this is a bracelet made of a demon's bone who was a demon king and you should know how strong that should be right? It is devil fan bracelet once there was a famous deamon king and his name was fan he was so famous for his powerfull fists, when he used to fight with punches he was a devil pure devil and his punches were said to shatter mountains in a single punch, he killed many cultivators and many people but then once bu mistake he challenged an strong cultivator who killed him and later his bones were taken out and used to create a bone bracelet and named after him, now you might say that since it's just his bone so puch won't be that strong and yes that is true that ehen refining it the bracelet could not produce full power but strong cultivators like kao can still use it's 70 percent of power that deamon fan had and you know that though our formation is strong it can't hold more than 50 percent of a deamon kings power also that deamon fan was 50 percent much stronger than normal deamon kings"
Hearing that faces of both elder's and Julie and few other's who had came by now because of the noise got paled as they knew that if the formation got destroyed then in next few punches from that bone bracelet would kill them all anyway.
Kao didn't waited anymore as he lifted his hand to strike and punch the defence formation.
As he moved his hand to strike down suddenly an sword light came out of nowhere which cut his hand from the elbow as it fell to the ground in front of Julie and her father, tgen they and everyone present there looked in the direction where that sword light had came from and kao locked furious as he shouted "who the hell attacked me bastard come out and show your face"
As two old looking man with a weird long beard were coming into their direction he instantly recognized both of them as most of them knew this old fellows, Julie's father looked at the old man who attacked and said
"ancestor, you are here" as teears of happiness came out of his eyes and beside him was his father's friend "uncle you here too, now we're saved" as he got happy the old ancestors came and then said "I'm giving you 10 seconds to run and after that you all will die and tell tour leader that don't bother with us if he wants his head to stay connected with his body"
Then Kao tried to say something but ancestor started to count as Kao was getting confused what to do and he stayed and so everyone in his side did but then countdown was over and then ancestor didn't said anything and moved to attack all of them as they tried to fight but none of them were a match for the ancestors so ttheyall got killed but only Kao was alive with a leg broken too now "do you want to go now and deliver my message" Kao looked at all dead bodies of the people he came with and knew he have no choice and thought he wanted to save them but he knew he can't though he was only sad because they were from same sect and he had not much regret because none of them were good people and he knew that so he looked back at ancestor and tried to say yes as he was hurt and the ancestor understood and let him go with a warning.
Kao left somehow and when got far healed his leg so he can return fast at least.
In the sect the old ancestor got back to the sects leader and healed him then he said "little heng you haven't improved much since last time look at yourself anyone is coming here and beating you like this" the other old man came and said "haha don't be so rude to him bastard he's hurt right now let him rest and scold him later, little heng go and rest we're fine"
"no uncle liu I'm ok, thank you for your concern but can i ask what brought ancestor and uncle here today? " he said as he bowed to greet.
"yeah yesterday i sensed some divine energy or something was here, i don't know exactly but i felt that a very strong energy was immitng from somewhere close but it was not for long so we came to check what it was"
Liu "though we're not sure if it was divine energy or evil but it was so strong and since it hasn't done anything damage in locality so we're assuming it was from some divine artifact or something"
When heard that Julie and her father had a feeling and they thought of something then looked at each other, noticing in thier eyes they confirmed they are thinking of same thing so Julie decided to tell the ancestor about it and then she said "ancestor that divine objects energy was it like this?"
Then she took out the painting and opened it which emited a strong suppression and it was so much powerful that even those old fellows started to feel little pressure from it, they both were sure and so excited then liu asked Julie yes this is the thing yes this feeling is same it it yours?
Ancestor also looked confused and shocked they both had same confused and shocked expression on their faces and so they both were asking same things like where did she found that painting, how she got that and etc.
Julie told them to calm down and so did the leader scolded them "you two are old ancestors and you guys look how you are acting in front of a little girl and for what just a painting? Yes this is divine level but does that mean you will act like this and in front of your sects deciples and to your own sects leader's daughter? You both shut up and let her say."
They both then calmed down and sat silently then asked Julie if she's ok to answer now as they're calm.
Julie "yes now i can say so it happened like when i was recruiting and... "
That's how she told them everything that happened form how she was recruitin and then how met senior and then how he gave her that painting and some other gift too which got the old liu and ancestor to think and then while ancestor was thinking liu suddenly asked where does the senior lives and name of the senior which shocked ancestor as he asked him what is he thinking? Is he going there now?
What to do with you slow old man, then he looked back at Julie and asked again.
Julie had weird expression as she looked at them but she decided to tell them anyway and so she told them the name and location.
Then Liu looked at ancestor and said you old man keep thinking and come with your grandson and Julie later, I'm going now and the he left. While the ancestor was left trying to say something or stop him but by then he had already left and so he decided to talk to Julie some more about senior and then think if he should let her meet him again.
While here the old liu already found the town Dev lives in then found his house and when got inside he was captured by beast's that lived in Dev's house and then forced to kneel, when Dev came he got up from the ground and then bowed to Dev and said,
"hello senior I'm liu lan you can call me liu"
Dev was looking at him with confusion as he asked him how he got inside his house and why was he there?
"senior I'm here for you, i was looking for you and found you I'm so happy"
who but who are you old man ohh tell me first ahh.
"oh senior aren't you Mr Dev? "
Yes I'm but how do you know me?
"I'm Julie's great grandfather's friend, you know Julie right?"
Ahh you mean the cultivator julie whom i gave an painting of mine few day's ago?
"yes senior" he said sincerely.
Ohh but why are you calling me senior, old sir am not older than you.
He was feeling weird because of this.
"no senior i won't dare, please allow me to call you senior, your painting was so amazing that i can't"
Hearing that Dev though 'oh is it it that this old man loves painting and so my painting was so great that he liked it so much and that's why he thinks I'm a great painter therefore out of respect he can't call me by name and just senior, yeah it seems to be correct'
Then Dev invited the old man to his backyard where they can sit and talk more while he started making tea for the old man "he's old and likes painting then i hope he will like tea too" then he gave a cup of tea to that old man and when old man liu saw the cup he noticed spiritual aura coming out of it and it was mixed perfectly like a tea made just for cultivation.
Then he drank it without hesitation which started a strong reaction inside his body which slowly started to fill every inch of his body making him feel like he's energized and fresh, he noticed that his cultivation which was stuck for 100 year's is finally getting up and he is going to level up, if drank just one more cup of tea that will make him level up.
"senior this was so good tea uhh can i have a little more, if you don't mind"
He asked with little hesitation as if he might disrespect Dev, something he doesn't want to dare do.
