Chapter 1914 — 1914: Someone From the Demon Sealing Clan

"Missing… so you think your disciples are being kidnapped by the Demon Worshippers?" Tan Songyun asked after hearing this.

"That, or they were killed," sighed the Sect Leader.

"What is the sect doing about this?"

"So far, we've recalled most of our disciples back to the sect, unless they're on a really important mission. We have also restricted their movements to within the sect's boundary. Other than that… I don't know what else can be done."

"What about the disciples at the Extreme Yin Lake? I saw a few of your disciples there," Tan Songyun said.

"That's a special location. Most people can't even get close due to the extreme weather. Unless the Demon Worshippers have cold immunity or a special physique, they won't be able to go near it. Also, it's fairly close to the sect."

"Sorry you have to deal with this."

The Sect Leader shook her head and said, "I'm sure it'll be over soon, especially once that person from the Demon Sealing Clan arrives."

"That person?" Tan Songyun raised an eyebrow.

The Sect Leader smiled and said, "Yes, she's very famous in the Demon Sealing Clan and the cultivation world. I'm sure you've heard of her before. I requested help from the Demon Sealing Clan as soon as I realized the Demon Worshippers were kidnapping my disciples, and they recently notified me that this individual would be coming to assist us. In fact, she should be arriving soon."

"So, who is this individual?" Tan Songyun asked again.

The Sect Leader smiled and said, "Are you in a hurry to leave? If you are, I will tell you, but if you have some time, you should meet her. This is a really rare chance, after all. Hell, you'd probably stay after hearing her name."

Tan Songyun was a little annoyed by the secrecy, but she was also very curious.

"I have a few days," she said.

"Great! I'll let you know when she arrives. Is there anything you would like to do in the meantime? How about I show you around the sect?"

Xi Meili immediately nodded and replied, "That would be great."

Thus, the Sect Leader began showing them around the Frozen Cloud Ethereal Sect.

"I know you already have a Demon Sealer on the way, but I know someone who might also be able to help," Tan Songyun said as they traveled.

"Are you talking about Yu—Xiao Yang?" Xi Meili asked.

Tan Songyun nodded, "What do you think? You know him better than me, but from what I've seen, he seemed very familiar with demons and demon worshippers."

"I'm not too sure, but if it's him, I'm sure he'll be helpful no matter what it is."

"Who is this Xiao Yang?" The Sect Leader inquired in a curious voice.

"He's our traveling companion and the reason why we're here. He's currently training at the Extreme Yin Lake, though."

"A man with Yin affinity? How rare."

Although the Sect Leader misunderstood his situation, they didn't bother correcting her.

A few hours later, midway through their tour, the Sect Leader suddenly halted her movements and retrieved a communication jade slip.

"I just received news that the Demon Sealer has arrived at the sect, so we'll end the tour here."

Learning this, Tan Songyun and Xi Meili followed the Sect Leader to meet this Demon Sealer.

Surprisingly, they didn't head to the Sect Leader's headquarters. Instead, they traveled to the 7th Frozen Cloud Peak, a public area accessible by all disciples.

When they arrived at their destination, their gaze was immediately drawn to a beautiful woman in black and white robes standing gracefully by a water fountain.

Her presence was captivating, exuding a refined elegance that demanded attention.

Surrounding her were excited disciples, their expressions filled with awe and admiration. Some eagerly spoke with her, while others simply stood nearby, as if just being in her presence was an honor in itself.

"That's… that's… who is that?" Tan Songyun turned to look at the Sect Leader after failing to recognize the Demon Sealer.

"Seriously?! You don't recognize her?! That's Sun Ling Cai, also known as Myriad Colors! Not only is she one of the best painters in the Nine Heavens, but she is also a Master Demon Sealer! Each of her paintings, no matter how simple, fetches tens of millions of spirit stones!"

"Myriad Colors? That's the 'Sublime Painter'? Although I have never seen her before, I have heard of her name," Tan Songyun muttered with slightly widened eyes.

The Sublime Painter was renowned not only for her ability to create flawless masterpieces but also for the unique power her creations possessed. Unlike ordinary works of art, hers were capable of producing mystical effects akin to those of powerful treasures.

For example, one of her most famous works, Cultivator's Ascension, was a painting that functioned like a real spiritual treasure, capable of gathering and enhancing spiritual energy in its surroundings. Just by placing it within a cultivation chamber, one could experience a significant boost in their cultivation speed.

Because of this, her art was highly sought after, not just for its beauty, but for its practical and mystical properties, making it priceless to both mortals and cultivators alike.

"She's a painter? I didn't know cultivators paid that much attention to such a profession," Xi Meili remarked, as she considered painting a mortal's profession.

"She's not your ordinary painter. Her paintings function as treasures. Some have effects that benefit cultivation, while others can work as life-saving treasures. The only issue is that she cannot determine the effect of her paintings, so they vary greatly."

The Sect Leader approached Sun Ling Cai and bowed, "It's a real honor to have you here, Senior Sun. I am the Sect Leader of the Frozen Cloud Ethereal Sect, Yun Xi."

"Nice to meet you, Sect Leader Yun. I was sent here by the Demon Sealing Clan after they reviewed your request. I will do everything in my power to assist you with your problem."

"I can't imagine having someone more reliable than you here, Senior Sun. If you're ready, let's go somewhere more quiet."

"Let's." Sun Ling Cai nodded.
