Meanwhile...
Sensing that all the powerful presence suddenly vanished one by one, the lazy Sect master and elders...cough* cough* I mean those, elders and the sect master, who were saving their energy smiled slightly.
Just then, an outer disciple came hurriedly and reported from the outside of the sect master's residence,
" Se-sect master, those invaders are fighting against each other, what should we do? " The disciple shouted from the outdoors.
"That's it? How are you going to call yourself the mighty disciples of supreme grand sect, if you're startled by such a minor matter?" Against his expectations, one of the elders reprimanded him with a scowl.
Judging by the elder's face, he seemed awfully uninterested in the fact that gigantic forces were preparing for a siege, I mean why would he care when he realized, the Holy Envoy had personally decided to make a move?
"Sect Master, you are truly insightful to bring Holy Envoy to our side after predicting such an event." At that moment, the rest of the elders began chortling as they pampered the sect master, they knew, these attacks were bound to happen, after all, the supreme grand sect had made too many enemies.
Visibly, the Sect master was gladdened by their favouring eyes and praising words of elders, while his nose was about to touch the sky from pride.
However, as the Sect master of the Supreme Grand Sect, he had to remain stern, and so he waved his hand and faintly said trying to act humble "After the passing of our Great Elder, Mang Lao, a few essences ago, Supreme Grand sect was put in an unstable and dire situation, I had already predicted that we will be attacked soon, but my insight was little lacking... not knowing, they would act so fast and attack immediately "
Nonetheless, it was all thanks to the Holy Envoy who seems to be dealing with them, Thus, you should all save your gratitude for the Holy Envoy " As he spoke of that, smugness surged in the Sect Master's heart.
...
Essentially, the young master came from the Beyond with his remarkable identity and formidable background.
Upper realm!
The goals of these populace was to reach the upper realm, so, it was destined the individual, the Holy Envoy would be extraordinary, descended from the upper realm.
"Sect Master, the grand disciple, Ji Mai seems to have gotten acquainted with Holy Envoy lately. Without her role, I fear the Supreme Grand sect isn't going to get out of this assault." one of the elders said as he saw Ji Mai walking out of Li Bai's residence early morning with a little annoyed face.
"Indeed, indeed. It is all thanks to the Sect master, for having raised such a wonderful daughter!" The elders proceeded to flatter the sect master, extending the smile on the sect master's face as he slightly rolled his moustache.
" Indeed, Holy Envoy wouldn't have made a move if it weren't for Ji Mai. Otherwise, there was no way mere humans like us could ever draw in a higher being like Holy Envoy, Tch! Tch! Beauty is really a privilege " The Garlic Elder spoke his heart.
A few centuries ago Garlic Elder remembered hearing some words from his father, " Remember son, beauty is worth nothing! " recalling those words, Garlic Elder said in his mind "If my father was still alive, I would have personally killed him for teaching me useless knowledge that is completely opposite to reality "
At the same time,
The disciple outside was confused, " Huh? Have elders and the sect master gone mad? "
Hearing the words of the elder he doesn't know what to do. " Since Higher up doesn't care, There is nothing we can do " the disciple said before leaving.
.....
Time passed by,
The news of the Holy Envoy beating the shit out of those invaders spread through sects like wildfire.
The reputation and image of the Holy Envoy increased greatly, at the same time, under the cunning influence of Beta Xyan, the image and reputation of Ling Fei hit rock bottom, as disciples began to discuss the rumours they heard.
Even the sect master had an eye for Ling Fei, looking to eliminate him tonight if he caught him together with his wife.

~~~ The Night Occured ~~~
" Soul Wandering Realm is not as powerful as you think. If you were ever to set foot on the upper realm, you'd realize that Soul Wandering Realm is hardly worth the mentioning," Li Bai leisurely stated, explaining Soul Wandering Realm as if it was as worthless as dirt, though, those were plainly mindless gibberish.
After all, anyone who achieved Soul Wandering Realm was undoubtedly formidable.
Moreover, with their survivability of thousands of years and life span of; at the very least five millennia, they were considered important beings of the Cult of Immortality and unnamed factions in the upper realm.
If we do mathematics, the upper realm has around 30% greater Qi density thus making them 30% stronger on Compound law, Aka the most talented individual in this Lower realm would be considered mediocre in the Upper realm or at worse; Trash!
" Honourable Holy Envoy, can you please explain to me what is above Nascent soul Realm?" speaking those words, Ji Mai's appealing eyes glistened as she was visibly fascinated by the topic, just like " I am Curious girl "
[ Chitanda from Oreki]
" What could possibly be above Nascent Soul Realm " Ji Mai thought in her mind as it was a mystery for people of the lower realm.
" Ensoulment Realm comes after Nascent Soul Realm, I hope, it answers your question?" After taking a sip of his drink, Li Bai faintly replied.
Despite receiving a harsh answer, Ji Mai did not give up, after which she silently refilled Li Bai's cup, and upon pondering for a short while, she gently moved over as a subtle fragrance surged in the air, the smell was pretty enchanting different from her usual smell.
