I have not fought with the other disciples of the four rules mountain, even when Sun Zhuo, since I came to the four rules mountain, had never faced me directly.
I have no understanding of their abilities.
I really did overlook that issue.
I've overcome psychological barriers and realized that Mo San won't interfere with me, and even Mo San supports me.
He Waitian is so eager.
If I lose... I can't help but let Waitian disappointed, and even make Mo San regretful.
"Big Brother, you forgot. Little Brother solved Wang Shi. Xiang Ke is Second Brother's disciple, and his strength is already noteworthy. Hmm, Si Yan can also be ranked in the top few. Earlier, Si Yan told me some details. Little Brother dared to use the Thunder Law directly against Tian Shou Dao Ren when confronting him. The two of them teamed up to solve a single green corpse."
"Si Yan has a very high opinion of Little Brother, she said she's definitely not a match for him. Don't worry about this matter," said the seventh elder again.
"Hahaha, that's true. Little Brother has seen blood and killing. Compared to him, my disciples of the four rules mountain are a little lacking in experience. Little Brother, show them your skills!" He Waitian's smile was particularly radiant.
The seventh elder was also smiling and very pleased.
Of course, we did not linger outside the Ancestral Temple for too long.
He Waitian ordered the seventh elder to rest well and be ready to receive Si Yan up the mountain at any time.
After that, He Waitian sent me to the Lei Shen Cliff to perform a few spells for him, so he could see if I needed enlightenment.
I was more than willing.
Si Yan has a high opinion of me, and the seventh elder even higher. However, the seventh elder will sometimes lose some bias because of his respect for He Waitian and his personal preferences.
The day passed quickly.
There is only one and a half days left until the ceremony of interring the coffin and the succession ceremony.
He Waitian left the Lei Shen Cliff, and before he left, he instructed me to continue practicing my spells, not to slack off.
I knew that it was likely Si Yan and the others who had arrived.
With He Waitian's strength, it would take only half a day to descend the mountain, and with another day to ascend, it would be just in time for the ceremony to begin!
I also understand that He Waitian chose to lock in this time instead of being more flexible, because, once Qin Yi enters the four rules mountain, Sun Zhuo will be restless.
The unexpected changes will continue to happen.
When everything is just right, no one will become a variable.
Another day passed, and I have been staying on the Lei Shen Cliff. The food is provided by Ke, which was arranged by the seventh elder.
With only half a day left, Ke asked me if I wanted to go down the cliff? The true person's teachings had stopped, and the Shang Qing Hall was arranging the venue. First, there would be a comparison of martial arts stage, followed by the interment ceremony. I could go and look at the terrain to be more confident.
Ke has never considered me as a competitor; in fact, he already believes I will definitely win.
I shook my head and laughed at him, telling him there's no need for any preparation. Strengthening oneself is more important than anything else. Even if the stage is on a steep cliff, it doesn't matter.
Ke was stunned for a moment before murmuring, "Thank you."
After he left, I was about to eat something and take a brief rest.
I intended to send a message to Si Yan to see where they were on the mountain.
She hasn't contacted me for so long, which means there should be no unexpected incidents.
However, just as I had finished eating and put down my chopsticks.
A person walked up from the path.
Tall and slender, wearing a bright red Taoist robe.
Suddenly, it was Sun Zhuo with a bald head!
"Xian Shen Cousin, I have been waiting for you for several days, but you didn't come to find me. I couldn't find anyone at the Ancestral Temple, and even the disciples don't know where you've gone. That's why I noticed that Ke has been walking this path frequently these past few days. It turns out that you've been secretly working hard on the Lei Shen Cliff."
Sun Zhuo sighed with a wistful expression.
"Do you want to fight me on the Lei Shen Cliff first and push me down?"
There was no one in the arena, and it was also not possible for someone to eavesdrop through the walls here. I replied in a calm manner.
"Xian Shen, my cousin, that's an unfair accusation. How could I do such a thing? I'm still looking forward to fighting you fairly and seeing what level of power you've reached now. Hahaha, maybe I'll lose to you. Master has put pressure on me and hopes I'll give in." Sun Zhuo said with a smile.
My eyebrows furrowed.
I suddenly understood why Sun Zhuo had kept this place hidden.
He is afraid of Grandmaster Ci Yi.
He must have something he doesn't want others to know!
However, his words made my eyelids twitch slightly.
Zheng Ren is truly generous and has truly let go of some things, but he still hasn't gone to the extreme.
Otherwise, he would really be putting He Waitian in a difficult position.
"However, I don't want to admit defeat." Sun Zhuo took a deep breath, and his eyes flickered with a hint of reluctance.
"You, are you ready to give up the Tian Shou Tao Guan?" My question caused Sun Zhuo's face to change dramatically.
"Grandmaster Ci Yi won't do anything to you. You've passed the test of asking for self-reflection. I don't know what methods you used, but after I went to the Lei Shen Cliff, I reported your actions to Grandmaster Ci Yi ten times, and he couldn't even come back if he wanted to. Once his Tian Yü Jade was in my hands, he lost some of his abilities." I continued: "Therefore, Sun Zhuo, you don't have to hide or cover up anything. Just tell the truth."
I spoke in a light tone.
In fact, my casual tone was to guide Sun Zhuo.
Sun Zhuo's repeated attempts to find me and the words he said clearly indicated that their teacher and disciples were of the same character.
Zheng Ren is constantly softening his stance towards He Waitian.
Sun Zhuo is likely trying to use something similar to get me to "let go."
Nevertheless, Sun Zhuo's words have affected me.
Who instigated and encouraged Sun Da Hai?
Yes, Sun Da Hai is dead, and Sun Zhuo is about to die too.
However, if there is a hidden hand behind this thing, that hand might eventually land on me.
I cannot judge the truthfulness of Sun Zhuo's words by myself, but I can ask Mo San to make the judgment.
Even old Gong to cast a divination!
For a moment, Sun Zhuo closed his eyes, and a faint hint of complexity flashed across his face, accompanied by a sigh.
A few minutes later, Sun Zhuo opened his eyes again and said, "Xian Shen, do you hate me?"
I furrowed my brow, and a trace of disgust flashed in my eyes.
"You want to use such a scheme again? Then you can leave."
"If there's no real value, you won't influence me at all." I said coldly.
Sun Zhuo shook his head, sighed softly, and then looked wistful.
"I, had no choice."
"I'll tell you the truth. I don't want to be controlled by Tian Shou Tao Guan. Growing up, it was my father who wanted to play both sides. At that time, I had already joined Tian Shou Tao Guan, and they decided to send me to the four rules mountain. Once I entered the four rules mountain, I realized that it was truly a good place with a solemn righteousness and my master's favor."
"I had always wanted to leave that place behind, but I couldn't!"
"Do you know why?"
"Do you remember Qin Yi?"
My heart sank suddenly.
However, I didn't show any change in my face.
"I don't remember." I replied in a light tone.
Sun Zhuo's eyes suddenly lit up, as if my response had already won him a few points.
"How can you forget her? She's your little sister, and she loves you very much." Sun Zhuo spoke with determination.
