Li Mei sharply turned to the side her eyes filled with shock.
Standing beside her with his hands behind his back is a handsome young man with swords like eyebrow, his skin without blemish glowed and his charming grey eyes curved slightly.
" Junior brother Wenbo....?" Li Mei muttered but she soon smiled self deprecating, " Who would think I would think of him in my death".
Wenbo flicked her head as he smiled, " Senior sister Li Mei you look so pitiful"
" Wenbo....!" Li Mei flew into his arms, as tears flowed uncontrollably, " I thought I would have died that I wouldn't see Wenbo again!"
Wenbo smiled slightly as he patted Li Mei back, " Senior sister Li Mei you should stop crying you really look ugly"
Li Mei ignoring Wenbo words hugged him tighter, she would had normally kept her cool acting seductive but now when she was almost close to death she decided to be childish for once.
While Li Mei and Wenbo had a touching reunion, the demonic cultivator face was filled with shock.
' Just words! how was he able to kill my vengeful soul with just words!!' The demonic cultivator thought with terror as he instinctively took a step back, " No, it must be because he attacked sneakily, he must have gathered a huge amount of spiritual qi to do such an act, so he must be weak now!"
The demonic cultivator consoled himself totally ignoring the fact that he didn't sense a spike in spiritual qi, " This is my chance! Die for me!! Ten thousand vengeful ghost!!"
The demonic cultivator screamed as he waved his flag, instantly summoning ten thousand pale ghost which blotted the sky.
"W-what is that?!"
" T-This...!, will elder Li Mei be okay!"
The fight at the ground ceased as both the cloud blossom disciples and demonic disciple stared at the sky, the former filled with fear while the latter filled with joy.
" That's elder Bing signature move the ten thousand vengeful ghost!!"
" Hahaha, that elder Li Mei is as good as dead!"
The demonic cultivators didn't fight anymore instead they stared at the sky with anticipation, and the cloud blossom disciples couldn't move their face filled with fear; if Li Mei was killed they knew they would be next.
Wenbo watching the approaching ghost frowned slightly and muttered, " Disperse"
*Hum!*
True qi surged forward instantly obliterating the surging ghosts.
" Cough!" Bing coughed up blood as he stared at Wenbo with fear and disbelief, ' I-Imbossible, the only one who can instantly wipe out my ten thousand ghost is the sect master!!'
" Y-you are an Immortal?!" Bing shouted as he pointed at Wenbo fearfully.
" Took you long enough to notice" Wenbo said as he smiled pointing a finger at Bing, " Unfortunately there's no reward"
*Hum!*
White tangible true qi surged forward enveloping Bing.
" No! No! Nooo-!!
Bing screamed frantically but it was all for naught as his voice soon died down.
Silence permeated the devil's forest.
" Elder Bing is dead ....." A disciple from the demonic sect muttered with shock.
" T-that's elder Wenbo!" A disciple from the cloud blossom sect recognising Wenbo shouted with joy.
" You..... you really became strong...." Li Mei muttered as she stared at where Bing once was.
"After all I am a Mystic ascension immortal" Wenbo said with a smile, " Wait, let me take care of the remaining pest"
*Hum!*
Majestic qi poured out from the heavens, under the stunned gaze of Li Mei and the cloud blossom disciples, the demonic cultivators popped like ballon.
" H-He is an Immortal run!!"
A demonic cultivator shouted and without waiting for his comrades bolted only to swell and burst.
"N-No don't kill me!!"
" My uncle is an elder!!"
" Run-!!
....1 minutes later...
"Noooo-!
The last demonic cultivator shouted as he burst scattering blood and internal organs everywhere.
"That's the last " Wenbo said as he turned to Li Mei, " Senior sister Li Mei it's been long how about we catch up"
Before the cloud blossom disciples could thank Wenbo, he and Li Mei disappeared.
....
Second peak.
Inside Wenbo cave.
Both Wenbo and Li Mei appeared inside the cave.
" Senior sister Li Mei you've really become more beautiful" Wenbo said as he tightened his grip on Li Mei waist.
"And you've become proactive too" Li Mei said as she smiled seductively, all her sadness evaporating.
" Quite daring of you both to do such an act in the presence of the sect leader " A cold female voice shattered the ambiguity between Li Mei and Wenbo.
" Tsk, Wenbo you didn't tell me Yingxue is here " Li Mei clicked her tongue in irritation as she turned to glare at Yingxue who sat at the bed.
Wenbo shrugged as he smiled, " I thought she would have left"
' You're an Immortal and you don't know if she's here ?' Li Mei thought as she stared at Wenbo suspiciously.
" Senior sister Li Mei that's enough we should leave Wenbo, he must be tired " Yingxue said as she dragged Li Mei outside.
Wenbo now left alone smiled wryly as he shook his head, " Senior sister Yingxue is still as protective as always"
...
Cloud blossom sect.
Ninth peak.
The ninth peak also known as the disciple assessment peak, normally deserted was now filled with to the brim with both mortals and cultivators eager to join.
" Do you hear, an the elder of the second peak is an Immortal"
" Of course he's the one I'm here for, just imagine he picks me as a disciple!"
" Bah!, you're not even a cultivator but you're already dreaming big!"
The mortals and cultivators conversed amongst themselves, each brimming with anticipation, wishing they will be the one chosen by the Immortal, but they weren't the only one, up high on a platform dedicated for elders and the sect master, the elders for the third to ninth peak were present.
" The individuals for this year selection are really much " The elder of the alchemist peak; the fourth peak said as he stroked his white beard.
" Hahaha, of course after all the ascension of Junior brother Wenbo already spread far and wide!" A burly elder said with a wide grin, he was the elder of the sixth peak; The martial peak.
" he's still late....." Li Mei muttered under her breath as she stared at the chair beside the sect master's own.
" The sect master is arriving!!"
A disciple shouted instantly silencing the cacophony of noise, as Yingxue and Wenbo walked into the elder's platform.
"Is that the Immortal?"
" He's so handsome!!"
The mortals and cultivators whispered to each other as they stared at Wenbo with shining eyes
Sitting down on the sect master chair Yingxue raised her hand and commanded coolly, " Let the selection begin!"
