Chapter 66 The Senior Brother Makes His Appearance

The main hall of the mortuary.

A group of Taoist priests dressed in yellow robes gathered together.

They were all disciples of Maoshan, each bringing their own apprentices with them.

Lin Fengjiao, dressed in a yellow Taoist robe, sat in the main seat with an air of grandeur.

"Fellow disciples, now all the ghosts have come out."

"If we don't find a solution and just arrest them all, then ghosts will appear everywhere in the world."

The moment he opened his mouth, everyone turned to look at him.

Qianhe, who was sitting to the side, said, "Senior Brother Lin, I think we should wait until Senior Brother arrives before discussing this matter."

"Yes, let's wait for our senior brother to arrive before we talk about it."

Si Mu echoed this sentiment.

As fellow disciples, they had previously received kindness and help from Shi Jian, so they naturally had to wait since their senior brother hadn't arrived yet.

"What's the point of us talking if our senior brother isn't here?"

Below, a bald Taoist priest also spoke.

He was none other than Master Ji, who arrived with wind, fire, thunder, and lightning.

Upon receiving the news, all the senior disciples arrived with their entourage.

Only the eldest brother, Shi Jian, had not yet arrived.

"Yes, senior brother, let's wait for our eldest senior brother to arrive before making a decision on this matter."

Another Taoist priest spoke up as well.

At this moment, Qiu Sheng, who was behind Lin Fengjiao, suddenly spoke up.

"So many people are waiting for him, who does he think he is?"

"Yeah, who does he think he is?"

Wencai quickly echoed.

Upon hearing this, Qianhe and Simu frowned and stared at Qiusheng and Wencai with displeasure.

Furthermore, Master Ji glared angrily at the two boys, who dared to say such things.

"Disrespectful to elders, Junior Brother Lin, your two disciples are utterly outrageous."

Master Ji said unhappily.

Lin Fengjiao's face darkened, and she turned around and scolded, "Shut up! That's my senior brother, your senior uncle. Don't be disrespectful."

Boom!

Just then, a thunderclap boomed in the sky.

Everyone was startled and turned to look outside.

Lightning flashed and thunder roared in the sky, and a bolt of lightning struck down, carving a crater in the courtyard.

"Fellow disciples, I am late."

A voice came from the sky.

Then, to everyone's astonishment, a figure slowly descended, its body wreathed in dense lightning, like a thunder god descending to earth.

"Big Brother!"

"Master Uncle—"

Everyone present was deeply moved, staring in astonishment at Shi Jian descending from the sky, and all bowed respectfully to him.

Shi Jian descended from the sky on a thunderbolt, shocking the entire audience.

He unleashed his full aura, and without exception, all the senior disciples and Maoshan disciples present were awestruck by his powerful presence.

Lin Fengjiao looked shocked and hurriedly got up to go out to greet them.

"We respectfully welcome our senior brother!"

"Welcome, Grand Master!"

Qianhe, Simu, Daoist Ji, and others, along with their disciples, stepped forward to greet them.

Such a grand entrance was truly awe-inspiring.

The powerful aura, with lightning swirling around it, made one think that the Thunder God had descended from heaven.

"No need to be polite."

Shi Jian slowly descended, rising three inches off the ground. The electric arcs on his body dissipated one by one, and the pressure on the scene eased as his aura subsided.

He glanced around the room, then slowly drifted into the hall.

He flicked his Taoist robe and sat down in the main seat.

At this moment, Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai finally regained consciousness.

The moment I saw Shi Jian, I immediately thought of the person I met in the woods. Wasn't this the same person?

"It's you?"

Qiu Sheng, his face contorted with rage and utterly fearless, declared, "Master, it was he who injured us and then took Xiao Li away from us."

As soon as these words came out, the scene fell into silence.

Everyone stared intently at Qiusheng, and Qianhe even showed a hint of anger.

"presumptuous!"

Master Ji was furious. He slammed his hand on the chair and stood up, angrily rebuking, "You have no respect for your elders! How dare you be so disrespectful to your senior master! This is outrageous!"

Lin Fengjiao looked terrible; she had been tricked to death by her disciple.

These two are such troublemakers! Not only are they outspoken, but they even dared to talk back and question their senior master.

As a disciple of Maoshan, to show no respect for elders, who wouldn't laugh at me if word got out?

"Your Majesty!"

Lin Fengjiao kicked him, and Qiu Sheng fell to his knees.

Wen Cai was so frightened by his gaze that he immediately knelt down.

"Senior Brother, I have failed to teach my disciple properly. Please forgive me."

He had no choice but to kowtow and apologize.

Shi Jian sat there, not even glancing at Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai.

He simply stared intently at Lin Fengjiao and said, word by word, "Junior Brother Lin, tell me, should we Maoshan disciples be punished if we disrespect our elders?"

"..."

Lin Fengjiao was speechless.

This is indeed a problem with his two apprentices.

Disrespecting elders and teachers is a serious problem.

To put it mildly, you're just outspoken and naive; a simple "you're brainless" comment would be enough to dismiss it.

But on a larger scale, if you don't even respect your own elders in your sect, can you accept such a disciple?

"Punishment!"

Chizuru snorted coldly.

If this were my own disciple, I would definitely cripple him and expel him from the sect immediately.

He glanced around at the four directions behind him. Fortunately, although his disciple wasn't very capable, he at least knew how to respect his elders.

The four directions—east, west, south, north—glared angrily at Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai.

These two dared to defy their senior master; they're practically courting death.

Even the wind, rain, thunder, and lightning glared at the two. All of them had received guidance and favors from Shi Jian, and their gifts upon meeting him were all purple talismans. They all held Shi Jian in high esteem.

Now, seeing someone talk back to their senior master and disrespect him, how could we tolerate it? If they weren't of low status and didn't speak up, we would have slapped them long ago.

"Whether or not there will be a penalty is another matter."

Shi Jian waved his hand and said calmly, "Junior Brother Lin, I understand why you invited me here this time. As the senior brother of Maoshan, I will naturally take on this responsibility."

"This was caused by your two apprentices."

He paused after speaking, then raised his hand and waved.

A gourd fell into his hand, and a puff of smoke came out of it.

The next second, Xiaoli appeared in the hall.

Xiaoli thought she had been released when she came out, but she was almost scared to death when she saw what she saw.

The room was full of Taoist priests, which terrified her so much that she turned pale and trembled.

"Xiaoli, Xiaoli, are you alright?"

Upon seeing Xiaoli, Qiusheng felt as if his heart was being torn apart.

Just as he was about to get up and run over, he was pressed to the ground by a powerful force.

Bang!

With a single glance from Shi Jian, the two men lay motionless on the ground.

"Blinded by lust, as a disciple of Maoshan, he has no self-control and no Daoist heart, disgracing Maoshan."

He gave him a cold snort and a scolding.

Lin Fengjiao had a dark expression the whole time, feeling that she had completely embarrassed herself because of her two apprentices.

"Tell me what you know."

Shi Jian glanced at Xiao Li and spoke in a cold tone.

Xiaoli shuddered and hurriedly told everything she knew.

"what?"

"Someone is actually plotting against Maoshan?"

Chizuru, Yoshimi, and the others were furious and filled with righteous indignation.

It turns out someone was plotting against us.

Lin Fengjiao was shocked, never expecting there to be a hidden scheme.

“Junior Brother Lin, this matter is probably aimed at you, and it is also very likely aimed at Maoshan.”

Shi Jian spoke frankly, saying in a calm voice, "I have already informed the sect leader, and the sect's patriarch has also replied."

"Senior Brother, what do you think we should do to resolve this?"

Lin Fengjiao bowed respectfully and asked.

Shi Jian raised his hand: "No need for formalities. This matter must be handled well. The patriarch replied that we should kill those who should be killed and take the benefits that are due."

"We Maoshan don't cause trouble, but we're not afraid of trouble either. Anyone who dares to mess with us Maoshan will be killed."

These words won the agreement of many of his fellow disciples.

"The eldest brother is right."

"We from Maoshan are not afraid of trouble."

Chizuru was the first to agree.

With a glance, Master Ji and the others echoed one after another.

"That's right, Maoshan is not afraid of any threat."

They understood as soon as the eldest brother appeared: Maoshan had gained another Celestial Master, so what was there to be afraid of?

With our senior brother, the Celestial Master, in charge, we have nothing to fear from anyone.

"Now let's deal with those wandering ghosts who escaped and bring them all back."

Shi Jian raised his hand to stop him and began to assign tasks.

First, lure out all the stray ghosts and spirits that have escaped and bring them back.

"I'll leave the task of catching ghosts to you fellow disciples, and I'll leave the ghost messengers to you, senior brother."

"What do you think?"

After Shi Jian finished speaking, his gaze swept across the entire room.

"We will follow our senior brother's instructions."

"I will follow the instructions of my senior master."

Everyone stood up and bowed in unison, without a single objection.

"Very good, let's get started."

After saying that, he stood up, put Xiaoli into the gourd, and led the way away.

Upon seeing this, the other junior disciples led their disciples away.

Only Lin Fengjiao and her two disciples kneeling on the ground remained.

"Alas, you have ruined your teacher's life."

Lin Fengjiao looked at her two disciples and sighed with disappointment.

This time, his disciple has really gotten him into trouble.
