Chapter 853: Serving as a Xuantian Sect Elder (Subscription Request)_1

```

After Xu Sheng had learned everything he wanted to know about the Cultivation World from Mu Qingge and the others, he intended to leave the Xuantian Sect...

However, he had been careless and didn't realize that word of his return had spread; at the base of the usually silent Xuantian Peak, a dense crowd of Xuantian Sect Disciples were standing!

When they saw Xu Sheng, dressed in a white robe, descending from Xuantian Peak like a carefree immortal in the wind, a glint shone in their eyes...

Their faces flushed with excitement as they shouted loudly, "Is this the Junior Brother Xu who saved us by slaying all the invaders with his own strength? Indeed, he's so handsome!!!!"

"It's only been a short while since I've seen Junior Brother Xu, and already his power has become so profound and inscrutable! It's completely undetectable!!"

"That's right, that's right, even I can feel that unique charm of an immortal on Junior Brother Xu!!"

"Junior Brother Xu!! Junior Brother Xu!! Be my partner!!"

"Junior Brother Xu, I've been waiting for you for so long, and you're finally back. Please accept me, senior sister!"

Xu Sheng's dark eyes gazed at this overwhelming scene and he thought to himself, "What's going on? Am I this popular in the Xuantian Sect?"

Then, without changing his expression, he softly told the group of Xuantian Sect Disciples in front of him, "Everyone please go back. My return to the Xuantian Sect is just to take care of some important business. I won't be staying long!"

However, these words didn't stir any waves when they reached their ears, and the loud shouting continued...

Finding no other way, Xu Sheng's eyes suddenly turned cold, and a terrifyingly powerful aura instantly spread out in front of him...

Any Xuantian Sect Disciple who felt this intense pressure felt as though a mountain was bearing down on them, to the point where they couldn't even speak normally!

Subsequently, they all looked towards Xu Sheng, their admiration growing even stronger...

After all, being able to suppress thousands of Xuantian Sect Disciples by himself, rendering them unable to move, meant he had to possess an incredibly powerful strength!

Perhaps even the Sect Master of the Xuantian Sect could not achieve this feat!

Only then did Xu Sheng speak calmly, "Fellow senior and junior sisters, this is Xuantian Peak, no place for noise..."

"If you do not wish to be punished by the Sect Master, it's best to leave quickly!"

Indeed, as soon as they heard they might be punished, many of the female Xuantian Sect Disciples started thinking...

As Xu Sheng slowly withdrew his oppressive aura, the female disciples no longer persisted, giving Xu Sheng a reluctant look before leaving Xuantian Peak one after another...

A few minutes later, Xuantian Peak returned to its usual tranquility...

Only then did Xu Sheng heave a sigh of relief, as his figure vanished in an instant...

...

After returning to Tianlan Peak, the situation within the courtyard surprised Xu Sheng...

Shangguan Lin, whom he had thought would not adapt well, seemed to be fitting in with Yun Cong and the others quite nicely, with no sign of discomfort...

Curiosity sparkled in Yun Cong's eyes as he asked, "Uh, Senior Sister Shangguan, what is your cultivation level?"

Mu Yun and Mo Qingyue chimed in saying, "Yeah, Senior Sister Shangguan, we can't sense your level at all!"

Gu Linruo covered her mouth with a light giggle, while Yun Churan, the Peak Master, glanced at them with her icy blue eyes before continuing to drink her strong liquor...

In response to the inquiries from Yun Cong and the others, Shangguan Lin replied with a trace of pride, "My current cultivation level is the ninth layer of the Divinity Transformation Stage, and I'm about to break through to the Void Refining Stage!"

```

Although not considered much within the Evil Spirit Sect, within this Xuantian Sect, she had almost reached the pinnacle of strength!

Yun Cong smacked his lips and said, "Impressive! She has actually attained the ninth layer of the Divinity Transformation Stage! This is a realm even the Sect Master hasn't reached!"

Mu Yun also lavishly praised, "That's right, that's right! I truly wonder which sect Senior Sister Shangguan hails from, she must definitely be of the genius level, right?"

In an instant, Shangguan Lin felt herself floating on air...

Xu Sheng, who had been silent all this while, walked into the courtyard and teased, "Shangguan, seems like you're fitting in quite well here!"

Hearing this, Gu Linruo turned her head to look at him and said with a light laugh, "Xu Sheng, you're back?"

Called out by her name, Shangguan Lin choked suddenly, coughing as she covered her mouth, "Cough, cough, well... that's for sure. I was just too low-profile at the Evil Spirit Sect, but all in all, it's much better here."

With a tone full of grievance, Mu Yun said, "Junior Brother Xu, where did you go before? Why didn't you let us know!"

Mo Qingyue also complained coquettishly, "That's right, Junior Brother Xu. You just ran off without a word, who knew whether you would come back or not!"

Xu Sheng smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Sorry, sorry! I had something to do just now, so I didn't get a chance to tell everyone."

Having said that, he turned his gaze back to Shangguan Lin and asked, "How about it, Shangguan, are you interested in mixing in for a position as an Elder in the Xuantian Sect?"

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Lin's mesmerizing Beautiful Eyes sparkled with a hint of starlight, and with a touch of hope, she said, "An Elder in the Xuantian Sect? I... can I?"

Gu Linruo spoke playfully, "Senior Sister Shangguan, of course you can. With your strength at the ninth layer of the Divinity Transformation Stage, I'm even afraid that Sect Master Mu would directly offer you his position."

Yun Churan, who had been silent throughout, spoke with a drowsy tone, "Lin Ruo is right, and now Xuantian Sect needs strong individuals. The Sect Master wouldn't miss the chance to recruit an expert of the Divinity Transformation Stage for nothing!"

Whether for reasons of benefit or relationship, Mu Qingge wouldn't possibly refuse...

She understood her Senior Brother well!

With these words, Shangguan Lin glanced at everyone with her Beautiful Eyes and, after pursing her tender lips, nodded, "Then... I'll stay in the Xuantian Sect. After all, I have nowhere else to go!"

Once Xu Sheng left, she would be alone again; perhaps staying in the Xuantian Sect as an Elder wasn't such a bad idea.

What mattered most was that even though she herself was incapable of bearing children, she could still regard the children of Gu Linruo and Xu Sheng as her own...

Hearing her agreement, Xu Sheng didn't think too much...

He nodded gently and said, "Well! Then let's do that. Tomorrow, I will talk to Sect Master Mu about it."

...

On the next day, as dawn had just broken...

Xu Sheng went to Xuantian Peak and spoke to Mu Qingge about Shangguan Lin's situation. Naturally, she wholeheartedly agreed!

She even believed that with Shangguan Lin's abilities, serving merely as an Elder was too modest an appointment and planned to pick another neglected peak to bestow upon her...

But without any doubt, Xu Sheng resolutely declined...

He felt that the current situation was quite fine, Shangguan Lin living with the people of Tianlan Peak at least wouldn't be so lonely...

What was most important was that she was a rank-one Demon Cultivator; if she were to serve as a Peak Master, she wouldn't have much to teach to the new disciples!
