"Stop!"
Another voice of panic rang out!
It's more familiar, isn't it, Tao Zhi!?
Just that, he shouted like he didn't shout, and the sword wouldn't stop. It's almost at the front of my face!
Even though the following strength is not strong enough, I can not resist, I did not sit and wait for death, head to another side of a tilt, this angle, sword is still enough to pierce my face, has no further escape. Hand barely take out Gao Tian sword, do not lift up in time!
The jade foetuses are too cunning. By all accounts, my whole body is brimming with magical items, and with Old Gong's Yang Shen ghost spirit, along with the Buddhist scriptures and the objects I carry on my person, there should be some reduction in restrictions. They shouldn't be able to take hold of me so easily, yet here they are, doing just that.
A sense of unwillingness surged up.
Suddenly, a ripple appeared in front of me, like invisible air constantly undulating in the hot sky.
A slender and exquisite shadow suddenly appeared before me.
A layer of green mist surrounded her, giving off an eerie and cold feeling. However, she had an indescribable dignity, a refined aura that spoke of her being a lady of the elite.
Strange, above the neck.
Familiar because she is Qi Youyou!
The copper sword was firmly held in Qi Youyou's hand, and a crazy amount of white smoke was emitted!
The sword strike was too powerful for Qi Youyou to fully repel. She retreated backwards, stopping just one palm's distance from me, before coming to a halt.
"No one... can harm you..."
The voice was clear and ethereal, no longer originating from the cavity as before. It was as if the consciousness of the headless woman had taken partial control, seamlessly blending with Qi Youyou's own soul essence!
The Gao Tian sword was lifted up, and I caught my breath!
The white smoke still billowed, and Qi Youyou's hand holding the sword was already rotting and blackened. She was not just a ghost, but a corpse-ghost. The evil qi covered her body, making it a tangible entity. At this moment, this injury landed directly on her corpse!
Tao Mingyi and Xu Wan's trembling stopped like an electric shock. Both were quite old, constantly shaking, gasping more heavily than I was, with unabated shock in their eyes. Part of it was directed at me, and another part was shockingly aimed at Qi Youyou.
"Let a youngling from the Shou Dayou Field suppress both of us at the same time. If this gets out, both the Yu Tai and Wangji fields will lose all face. Tao Mingyi, I managed to suppress a Yang Shen ghost spirit, but you've aged and the Yu Tai is no longer useful. The guard is no longer useful either. After this incident, you had better not come back to Yun Du County."
Xu Wang opened his mouth silently, still holding a killing intent towards me, even more so, and even mocked Tao Mingyi along the way.
This shows a little bit of detail.
The two are competing and being envious of each other.
At the same time, another person burst into the courtyard.
He looked very anxious, but in reality, he was deliberately arriving late.
The person was none other than Tao Zhi!
"Master Xu, Master Yong. Please spare him! This is not a disciple of the Tianshuo Dojo, but a young master of the Luoxian Mountain!"
I didn't expect that Ding Ruipo would be related to the Yu Tai sect.
I didn't expect Tao Zhi to come here.
In fact, I didn't even expect Tao Zhi to come out and directly identify my identity.
He shouldn't have hidden in the shadows, allowing me to be killed by two sects. This way, he directly places himself in the arms of Wu Ling?
What exactly are they selling in their secret pot?
Tao Zhi's words made Tao Mingyi and Xu Wang, the two old men, suddenly fall silent. Their eyes looked at me in shock, with a strong sense of confusion.
"Four Guishan's junior master? Luo Xianshen?"
Xu Wang's eyes narrowed into a thin line, and a look of caution appeared on his face!
Lao Gong was still struggling, and he shouted at the same time with a painful laugh: "Come on!? Hahaha, if you hurt my master, the true person will come down from the mountain and flatten your sects!"
"Be quiet!" Xu Wang rebuked sharply.
"I'm agitated by that old woman! What can you do about it?" Lao Gong struggled again and finally managed to break free from the copper strips, swaying and landing on my shoulder.
Xu Wang's face was turning red with anger. His skin was shaking.
"Xu Wang, stop your shouting and bluster. Those who know you know that you are the leader of a field. Those who don't will think that you are an old man on the decline, or some kind of strange old fellow."
Tao Mingyi also slandered Xu Wang in his words. He then looked straight at me and suddenly said, "Since you are not from Tianshuo Dojo, why not declare your identity? Why did you come to Yun Du County and the Ding family unexpectedly? You have broken hands and drawn souls."
"You have already forced Ding Xiang, the divine seer, to feign death and seek refuge. Why do you need to go to the extreme and kill them all?"
"Ding Xiang, the divine seer, is a kind-hearted person. She is a rare female master. Your sudden attack on people and interference in Ding's family are orders from Four Regulations Mountain?"
"And, when did Four Regulations Mountain start to cultivate ghosts like Tianshuo Dojo?"
Tao Mingyi's words were a series of questions.
I finally understand why Tao Zhi shouted out my identity.
It was not as I had expected. To help me escape, the problem circles back to the very beginning where Old Gong and I had thought of an idea.
He wants to escalate the conflict, raising it to the entire Four Regulations Mountain and to the line of Yin and Yang masters!
I being here must be something that Tao Zhi and Wu Ling didn't know. They just discovered me, showing their agility in the moment!
"Master, you have misunderstood. This Yang Shen ghost is none other than Liu Yan, Zhu Zhongkuan, the revered master of the sect." Tao Zhi bowed and said seriously, "Four Regulations Mountain does not cultivate ghosts, which you are well aware of. Moreover, we would never recklessly harm others. There must be some misunderstanding."
Tao Zhi's words, on the surface, seemed to be speaking on my behalf, but that is far from the truth.
"She can identify a Yang Shen ghost, but she is definitely not the kind of Ghost-stealing Corpse who exudes death and is filled with aura of violence. She has killed many people. Tao Zhi, do not open your mouth. Let him answer my questions!"
Tao Mingyi's tone was cold, and he still stared at me, showing no signs of drifting away.
"Master Luo, please explain quickly. This is all a misunderstanding. We were just resolving the plague ghost in Jin Yang, and you even did great service. Me and Brother Wu were discussing in the sect how to suppress the plague ghost with Master, planning to find Ding Xiang, the divine seer, for help. By some coincidence, we heard about her death and by some coincidence met you."
"This matter cannot cause any problems, it concerns the relationship between the Taoist tradition of Yin-Yang and the lineage of Yin-Yang masters! The situation is serious!"
Tao Zhi's words were very serious. His elegant demeanor had become extremely tense, truly resembling a mediator trying to defuse tensions.
But in reality, whether his words are guiding or subtle threats is something that leaves one to ponder.
I can't just ignore it and pretend it doesn't exist.
If I answer, it seems I might just be led by their nose.
This can only mean that there are mysterious arrangements in the heavens that make one feel vexed. Lao Qin's fate is full of hardships, even finding peace in death is difficult.
"This matter is unrelated to Four Regulations Mountain. You need not consider bringing my sect into it. Indeed, this will cause me some pressure, but truly angering my eldest brother will only bring you more trouble."
"Secondly, Four Regulations Mountain does not raise ghosts. Lao Gong has been by my side as a Yang Shen ghost before I entered the mountain. And... Qi Youyou is a talisman given to me by my teacher." The latter part of this sentence stirred up quite a lot of waves in my heart.
"As for why I came to Yun Du County and the Ding family, the reasons are none of your business, and you should ask Ding Rui Pu, the so-called Ding Xiang Shengshuan."
"Why did she feign death and hide after I arrived?"
