Chapter 85 Blocking the Road
Chapter 85 Blocking the Road
The scar on Xu Daosheng's face trembled constantly, his teeth were clenched, and his hands were tightly clasped on the board in his sleeves.
Yu Zhaotong stepped forward and said, "Xu Xingxing, please come down the mountain! If you start a fight here, don't blame us for outnumbering you!"
Xu Daosheng stared at Li Wuxiang for a while, then suddenly took a step back and laughed: "Great! What a great Ranshan Sect Master! What a great Thirty-Six Sects!"
After saying this, he immediately turned around and strode away.
Only when they saw his figure disappear in the ruins did Cheng Peixin and Yu Zhaotong both breathe a sigh of relief, look at each other, and turn around.
"Master Li, we have finished our business here and we will not stay here for long." Cheng Peixin bowed to Li Wuxiang and said, "Goodbye. Fei'er, let's go."
Yu Zhaotong didn't even bother to say anything. He just bowed to Li Wuxiang and took a step ahead of Cheng Peixin.
Li Wuxiang returned the greeting in silence, without trying to persuade them to stay. But when the four of them walked a few steps, Cheng Shengfei suddenly turned back quickly, walked to stand in front of Li Wuxiang, stared at him and looked him over: "Xu Daosheng and the others said you are an evil ghost, why do you say that?"
Li Wuxiang laughed: "If you are a ghost, everyone will look like a ghost to you."
But seeing that Cheng Shengfei was staring at him seriously, Li Wuxiang put away his smile and said, "I am a human being. Thank you Miss Cheng for speaking up for me just now."
"After we leave, you'd better leave as well." Cheng Shengfei looked at him seriously, "I don't know how you got the Ranshan Calligraphy Scroll, but that kind of thing is only a scourge to a cultivator like you. If you really found some treasure in the secret realm, just be content and stop. The thirty-six sects help each other, but if we can't see it, we can't help, do you understand?"
Li Wuxiang bowed to her solemnly: "Thank you for your advice."
Cheng Shengfei nodded and left quickly.
She followed Cheng Peixin, and after the four of them walked through the ruins of Taiyi Temple, the two abbots' steps became unhurried. When they reached the screen wall, Yu Zhaotong suddenly sighed, "I haven't been to Ranshan for a long time. The clouds and mist on Ranshan are thin, and the sun is setting through the forest - today is really unlucky. But it's better to do it today than to wait for a day, so I'll go to Chuanlin Peak to see the mountain scenery. Abbot Cheng, goodbye."
Cheng Peixin smiled, and Yu Zhaotong led his disciples to jump onto a lower cliff on the east side several times and disappeared into the forest.
Cheng Peixin did not walk down the mountain road, but waited quietly in the same place. After more than ten breaths, she also walked a few steps to the side and jumped onto the same cliff that Yu Zhaotong had walked on before.
Cheng Shengfei followed him: "Master, do you want to see the mountain view too? That Xu Daosheng..."
Cheng Peixin ignored her and ran quickly in the forest. She didn't stop until she passed a grove of short trees and stood on the top of a cliff beside the mountain road at the foot of Ran Mountain. She could see a thin mist and vast fields below the mountain.
Cheng Shengfei followed her and was about to speak again, but Cheng Peixin suddenly turned around and slapped her hard: "You are speaking for Li Wuxiang because he is good-looking, right? How many times have I told you that all men are bad! You have no shame!"
Cheng Shengfei staggered after being hit by her, and his body swayed on the cliff. Cheng Peixin moved her hands to help her, but she had already stood firm.
She didn't cover her face, and her face didn't show any shame, fear, or resentment. She just let out a breath, "He is good-looking, and that's why I like him more than others. But this is human nature, starting from emotion and ending with etiquette. I don't think there is anything to be ashamed of. But I'm not speaking for him, but for the rules of the Thirty-Six Sects. Master, a True Form Daoist is so arrogant walking in the dojo of the Thirty-Six Sects, should we also swallow our anger?"
Cheng Peixin glared at her: "Do you know that he has caused us trouble? If Yu Zhaotong and I have to take action today and kill that Dharma disciple in Ranshan Dojo, causing disputes between the sects and Zhenxing Dao... I'm afraid we won't even be able to stay in Feiyun Temple. Just because of your words! That Li Wuxiang is trying to make the Tianxin Sect and Louguang Sect--" "Master, I know that he is using us to get out of trouble and to help him gain a foothold in Ranshan." Cheng Shengfei's face was calm, "But he also knows how to advance and retreat, and did not force us to take action. He is sensible, and he did not break the rule of the thirty-six sects to help each other."
She took a breath and said, "Besides, isn't this good? Seeing that Xu Daosheng left in disgrace, wouldn't you be happy, Master?"
She seemed to have tried hard to force a smile on her face: "Master, don't be angry, I will apologize to you."
Cheng Peixin stared at her blankly for a while, then sighed, "Does it hurt?"
"pain."
Cheng Peixin reached out her hand and gently touched her face: "I'm not completely angry with you. Alas, what have we fallen to? I heard that there are treasures in Ranshan, but I was really bewitched. I came here like a vulture fighting for food and humiliated myself. If the people in the sect heard about it, I don't know how they would laugh at me."
She shook her head and looked down the cliff: "Not to mention that I suffered all this anger for nothing and nothing was accomplished."
"That Ranshan Sect Master..."
Cheng Peixin smiled and said, "I'm afraid he will be the shortest-lived sect leader. When I tested his technique, I felt his pulse. Can you guess what realm he is in?"
Cheng Shengfei was stunned: "Qi refining?"
"Foundation Building." Cheng Peixin smiled bitterly. "If it was someone with high cultivation, even if he had not yet formed a pill, but was at the peak of Qi Refining, although we would have been offended, at least we have made friends with a new Ranshan Sect Master, and perhaps there would be some benefits. But this new Sect Master is at the Foundation Building stage, and is still a little short of advancing to Qi Refining. As for now... read on."
Cheng Shengfei walked forward to Cheng Peixin's side and looked in the direction she pointed.
Xu Daosheng was sitting outside the gate of Ranshan Mountain.
"Once you leave the Ranshan Dojo, it's all martial arts. No one from the Thirty-Six Sects is present, so even if he kills the Ranshan Sect Master, no one can say anything."
Cheng Shengfei glanced in the direction of the sect: "If he goes out from the back mountain..."
"You can't get out." Cheng Peixin said, "You saw Xu Daosheng's magic weapon, the Five Mountains True Shape Map. It may not be the real weapon, but its power should not be underestimated. Didn't the swordsman surnamed Guo say that Xu Daosheng used that treasure to trap people in the Liaoran Mountain Dojo before? Now it should be the same method. I'm afraid that except for this way down the mountain, the sect leader has no way out."
"Now it depends on who can outlast whom. If Ranshan really has a secret realm, he can hide in it. But Xu Daosheng..." Cheng Peixin suddenly stopped talking, her expression became extremely complicated, and she looked towards the screen wall -
The new leader of Ranshan Sect has crossed the screen wall and stepped onto the steps leading down the mountain.
The second update will be at eight in the morning.
