"The scholarly Tao Hong, in front of the Master, did not have the strength to retaliate." As soon as I finished speaking, it grew dark, and the old Gu emerged with a smile and said, "Old Tang, rest assured. Old He is not afraid."
"Or, I will let the ghost dean bring out Tao Hong and let him possess him, and we can have a confrontation with you." The old Gu licked his corner of the mouth.
"Feng shui and strength are not fully compatible. You know this better." Tang Wu stared deeply at the old Gu.
"Can I not know that?" Old Gong rolled his eyes and said, "If you keep talking to me like that, your master's apprentice will probably feel sour to the bone."
"We know that you're a good old man, good old men also need to give young people a chance. The places that old Gong goes to are much more dangerous. In case you or the current Tianshi of Yunjin mountain go there, you may also have to retreat."
Tang Wu and I have been in contact for some time before. His care may be a bit repetitive, but it is indeed heartfelt.
"Old Gong, don't talk nonsense." I scolded him.
"Then don't speak." Old Gong made a gesture by moving his mouth as if zipping up something. This movement resembles closing a zipper.
"In this era, the time is changing. Let the God of Visibility handle it by himself."
"This, indeed, is his matter."
"He Youan opened his mouth and looked at Tang Wu with great respect."
Tang Wu fell silent again.
"We indeed need to consider the situation over at the Baizhai. When we go there, we cannot keep a portion of our strength reserved like this. We must go all out, otherwise, my intuition tells me that something will go wrong." He Youtan added one more sentence.
"Wulingshi's disciples..." Tang Wu furrowed his brow.
This is indeed a hurdle that cannot be bypassed.
To deal with Baizhai, the sect gate must have no real people on guard.
If they are targeted again by the disciples of Wuling, they will be like entering an empty land.
This means that there is only one choice, that they must be found out!
But, how easy could it be to do that?
"God of Visibility, you rest well. Let us handle the other matters."
"Several Daoist sects cannot continue to trouble you, a junior, for long." He Youtan said again.
During this entire period, both the Shenshao and Jinlun did not speak. The reason was simple: their power was insufficient to interject into the conversation between He Youtian and Tang Wu.
Several people left my room.
Wu Jinluan told the three Sentence Curve Daoists to rest well as well, and not to drop the ball in the crucial moments.
After that, they also left.
"It's still hard." Old Gong muttered.
At that moment, dark purple ghostly aura surrounded me.
Wei Youming appeared.
The environment around me changed, turning into his fierce prison.
The original room became his room.
In front of a mirror, a person stood quietly.
It was a small figure, but her face was covered with fine scars, Jia Qiy.
Jia Qiy's breathing was very weak, and the yin qi around her had become very heavy.
Gazing into the mirror, she did not move at all.
Standing beside her, she also did not move.
"She is almost dying."
"The body is becoming a zombie, and with no other means to refine the soul, it should be heading towards soul dispersal."
Wei Youming's voice sounded, and he rarely spoke two sentences.
My face was quite ugly.
Jia Qiy had long since been unable to hold on.
Only by relying on the fierce prison could she barely survive.
"We must get the pills as soon as possible, even if we can't get the antidote." Wei Youming continued.
I was about to answer when the ghost mist once again disintegrated into pieces.
The room was left with only me, and Wei Youming did not appear.
Old Gong's head was on the table, and there were over ten large yellow teeth standing up on it.
It's clear that Old Gong is calculating.
This is too difficult.
Even if Fu Zhongkuan were alive, he might not be able to calculate the whereabouts of the disciples of Wuling.
After all, the master of Wuling...
He is an equivalent level of malevolent spirit with Ma San three...
Even combined, Old Gong and Wu Jinluan were far from enough.
My mind was also unable to calm down for a long time.
Then let them follow.
Jia Qiy...
"My poor, unfortunate Great Mistress."
Old Gong originally rambled on with a bunch of things I didn't understand, and then he added one sentence about Jia Qiy, making my mind even more uneasy.
However, I really have no good way at the moment.
I got into bed and slept soundly.
All the fatigue from not sleeping these days suddenly came up, and I slept soundly and deeply.
The next day, when I woke up, the sky was bright, and the sunshine was brighter than before.
As I left the room, Wu Jinlan was waiting for me.
"The three disciples went to the main hall, and Chunyang Dao has prepared some things for them," Wu Jinlan said.
I nodded.
The door of a room was open, and standing in front was the Tianshi apprentice from Yunjin Mountain, Zhang Xuanyi. He looked at me quietly, nodding slightly as if to show his goodwill.
I responded with a smile.
Wu Jinlan walked out, and I followed.
After walking for a while, Wu Jinlan said, "This Zhang Xuanyi has some issues; he didn't have so much goodwill before."
"Does he really not want to cultivate an imp?"
"I feel differently."
Wu Jinlan's words were astonishing.
Because I didn't feel any greed from Zhang Xuanyi at all. He didn't even indirectly mention the refined pill made from the heart of the Empress's corpse.
"Lao Dao Long, you may not notice, but Old Gong said yesterday that he was jealous. Zhuoxiang Daoren's friendliness towards you caused him emotional turbulence. Although he masked it well, no matter how well he concealed it, he couldn't deceive me or Old Gong." Wu Jinlan added: "In any case, being cautious is better than being careless."
I nodded, indicating that I understood.
After a while, we had arrived at the main hall.
Outside the main hall, the four people formed a line and carried Liu Hong.
Three real people were in front of the line, and standing beside them was Qiu Ji.
Qiu Ji had his hands behind his back, and his emotions seemed arrogant to the extreme.
When he saw me and Wu Jinlan, Qiu Ji's eyes showed a coldness.
There was no longer the previous hostility, just a cold and icy demeanor, as if he didn't want to be associated.
Slightly to the side of the rear, there were the three disciples from Sent Curve Mountain, with two of them carrying the robust Ma Sheng.
After I and Wu Jinlan greeted each other with a handshake, Liu Zhenqi nodded and said, "Let's go."
Exiting the Chunyang Dao, Qiu Ji took the lead.
The road to Xuanming Mountain is long, and we need to first cross mountain passes and then pass through mountains guarded by ghostly creatures and poisonous corpses before reaching the mountain where ancient Qianyang City's traitors were suppressed, before finally reaching Xuanming.
Qiu Ji walked at a leisurely pace, never speeding up.
"Teacher, do you need to find a few more disciples to set up a support for you?" Liu Yujie suddenly said.
His words surprised both me and Wu Jinlan, and the disciples of Sent Curve Mountain all slightly tightened their expressions.
The three real people from Liu family each had different characters.
Liu Zhenqi is generous and easygoing, Liu Taishen is enigmatic and mysterious, and Liu Yujie is much more straightforward, with a touch of martial arts demeanor.
They could all see that Qiu Ji was being deliberate in some way.
Liu Yujie expressed the most and fastest dissatisfaction.
"Second elder, you overstate things. I can walk fine," Qiu Ji replied without changing his expression.
"You may be able to walk, but you need to consider that the Sent Curve Mountain is in a hurry. You may think that Elder Luo was too aggressive, but have you considered that this person might end up targeting someone else?" Liu Yujie said without a trace of emotion, "If you haven't considered it, after this journey, perhaps you'll have to quickly choose a successor and teach the Shadow Casting Mountain Method as soon as possible."
"We Qianyang City may still have unforeseen events."
"Risky as it is to face off against the Qianyang people and the Chunyang Dao, I will have to depose you of your position as elder teacher!" Liu Yujie's words were resolute!
