Chapter 161: Unbeatable
Chapter 161: Unbeatable
The Li family’s location is very high, almost the same as the isolated cliff where Gu Zhuo was originally located, so it is easy to see.
In this Cihang Dharma Assembly, in addition to Li Ruoyun, two other people from the Li family came.
Many days ago, Pei Jinge had reminded Gu Zhuo about this matter, saying that the Li family would definitely cause trouble for you.
However, in that conversation, she only mentioned the name Xie Yinglian, and it was obvious that she didn't care about the people from the Li family.
The meaning is clear.
Pei Jinge didn't think that the people from the Li family would be a match for Gu Zhuo.
This judgment is specifically manifested at this moment today as silence.
Until Gu Zhuo repeated those three words again.
"Please enlighten me."
The Li family members finally could no longer remain silent and were ready to speak in response.
At this moment, Li Ruoyun suddenly walked to the front, looked at Gu Zhuo and said, "How about I come?"
Gu Zhuo knew what he was thinking. It was nothing more than that he had already lost once, so it didn’t matter if he lost again, and the Li family wouldn’t lose too much face.
Without waiting for a response, Li Ruoyun moved forward and leaped onto the top of the stone peak.
Gu Zhuo looked at him and suddenly asked, "I heard that Xiu Hu Zhenren also came to Cihang Temple this time, why is he nowhere to be seen?"
Li Ruoyun stopped abruptly when he heard that, and said slowly, "What do you want to do?"
Gu Zhuo smiled slightly and said with emotion: "I'm not doing anything, but I really miss the taste of that wine. After today's battle is over, I will go and ask for a few pots."
Li Ruoyun was silent for a moment, then said, "Master has important matters to attend to, so it is inconvenient for him to meet with outsiders."
Gu Zhuo said: "Really?"
Li Ruoyun said expressionlessly: "Would I lie about this?"
"is it?"
Gu Zhuo asked curiously: "Why did I hear the news..."
Before he finished speaking, the expressions of the Li family members suddenly changed, but it was too late to stop them.
Gu Zhuo looked into Li Ruoyun's eyes and said, "...it seems that Master Xiu Hu is under house arrest?"
As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar in the audience.
Hundreds of eyes fell on the Li family, and their shock and surprise were difficult to conceal.
Although Gu Zhuo did not say it explicitly, there was no doubt that Master Xiu Hu was under house arrest by the Li family. Otherwise, why would Li Ruoyun say that it was inconvenient to meet with outside guests?
This is too much respect for teachers.
If there is no completely reasonable explanation for this matter, the Li family's thousand-year reputation will probably be ruined, and a serious stain that cannot be washed away will be added.
Monk Kuzhou knew the inside story, but it was not convenient for him to speak out at the moment.
Because Master Xiu Hu is already dead, until there is solid evidence to prove that he has any connection with the Tianming Sect, we can never get around the saying that the dead are the greatest.
Li Ruoyun knew the seriousness of the matter very well. He opened his eyes wide, stared at Gu Zhuo, and asked angrily, "Do you know that you are secretly investigating and monitoring other people's family affairs? What do you want to do? What right do you have to do such a thing?!"
Gu Zhuo consoled him and said, "Why are you so anxious?"
Li Ruoyun took a deep breath, forced herself to calm down, and sneered, "What's the point of you pretending to be nice at a time like this? If you didn't want to see me get so anxious that I lost my composure, why would you bring this up?"
Gu Zhuo smiled and said, "In other words, as long as you are not anxious, then I should be the one who is anxious now, right?"
Without waiting for Li Ruoyun to speak, he continued speaking naturally.
"I mentioned Xiu Hu Zhenren and told everyone that your Li family had put someone under house arrest because I had investigated you and because I had been waiting for this day."
"And why should I check on you?"
Gu Zhuo raised his eyebrows, and swept his eyes across everyone present, saying with a half-smile: "The weather is so good today, I think it's a good time to dig up those shady things and expose them to the sun to see who is really the problem. What do you think?"
A silence.
No one responded, and few people even dared to meet Gu Zhuo's gaze, because except for Chaotian Jianque, every force present at the moment had more or less contributed to the recent public opinion storm.
It was obvious that Gu Zhuo came here to settle the score today.
But no one expected that he would be so crazy as to put everything on the table, directly stepping on the thousand-year-old iron threshold of the Li family, and not forgetting to ravage it hard.
This is no longer arrogance.
This is simply a madman who doesn't follow the rules.
Gu Zhuo was not used to silence today, and said calmly: "Before today, most of you wanted to see a big scene or a joke on me."
“Now the excitement is really here.”
He seemed surprised and asked everyone, "Why are you unhappy again? Is it because you have become that joke?"
……
……
“It’s a bit too much.”
A sigh sounded slowly, lingering with the clouds and mist behind the main hall of Cihang Temple.
That was Dao Xiu’s sigh.
Not long after he finished speaking, Yu Sheng walked over and replied leisurely, "Is it over already?"
Dao Xiu turned his head and looked at the girl in green skirt whom he had never met before, and said, "You feel more and more familiar to me."
Yu Sheng said: "If it weren't for this reason, with your temper it would be difficult for you to endure until now, right?"
As she said this, the corners of her lips curled up slightly in a smile, and her smile was as gentle as ever.
Dao Xiu looked at her smile, and finally some enlightenment appeared in his eyes. He thought to himself, it turned out to be you.
Yu Sheng suppressed his smile and said calmly, "Besides, what you did was inappropriate in the first place."
Daoxiu said, "You want to know who persuaded me to do this?"
"I don't have a problem with rejection."
Yu Sheng said indifferently: "From now on, you just need to pretend to be deaf and dumb, and then you won't have to mention this matter in the future."
Dao Xiu raised his eyebrows and said, "Is this Cihang Temple?"
There are two meanings in this sentence.
That is, he is almost invincible here, and as the highest person in Cihang Temple, he needs to stand up and hold an umbrella for his disciples at the critical moment.
Yu Sheng looked at the young monk and asked seriously, "Do you know that Gu Zhuo is my junior fellow apprentice?"
"It's fine if I don't come."
She said expressionlessly, "Now that I'm here and standing in front of you and talking, shouldn't you learn how to write the word 'quiet'?"
……
……
It's quiet over there, and even quieter over here.
Everyone was looking at Gu Zhuo, but no one could keep a calm expression anymore, because this was not just an indirect criticism, but pointing at their noses and calling them a joke.
“I don’t think it’s insulting.”
Gu Zhuo said: "I think this is stating a very clear fact."
No voice responded to him.
Many people even looked away and looked at the monk Kuzhou, wondering angrily what on earth are you still watching?
Why don't you stop Gu Zhuo and put an end to this ridiculous farce?
The monk Kuzhou lowered his head and said nothing, using his thick face to block these gazes, pretending to know nothing. If it was any other place other than Cihang Temple, someone would have told Gu Zhuo to shut up by now, but this place had to be Cihang Temple.
When the monks decide to remain silent, no one has the right to act beyond the rules.
However, this is not a matter that they can get away with by just keeping silent.
Are you just going to turn around and leave?
Now that Gu Zhuo was making such mocking remarks, it would undoubtedly be seen as the entire sect being forced to retreat by him alone, and thus swallowing their pride.
Although everyone present was a representative of the sect, just because they were representatives, they had no right to throw their faces on the ground.
Now there is only one solution left.
People looked towards a corner of the mountain.
There stood a man.
The man was very tall, with a resolute face and a calm demeanor.
This person's name is Wang Mo, and he is recognized as the strongest person in this Cihang Dharma Assembly - before Gu Zhuo defeated Xie Yinglian.
From the beginning of the fight until now, he has remained silent, as if everything that was happening had nothing to do with him, because that was indeed the case.
Wang Mo's master was the one who was hailed as the sun of the world and was known as the strongest person after he ascended to heaven. He was not a disciple of any sect.
The temperament of that arrogant man can be seen from the word "pride" in his nickname. He will definitely not get involved in such matters.
Therefore, letting Wang Mo speak is the most appropriate choice.
Because he could stand on his word and didn't have to fall into a moral rut in front of Gu Zhuo, which was his natural disadvantage.
The question is, why should Wang Mo speak for them?
Suddenly there was a breeze in the mountains.
Gu Zhuo watched this scene.
The reason why this gust of wind exists is that too much spiritual consciousness leaves the body in a short period of time, thus affecting the real world.
Those spiritual consciousnesses all carried the same intention and rushed towards Wang Mo, trying to make him stand out.
Gu Zhuo didn't care.
As long as the Immaculate Monk is not pushed out, it doesn't matter who becomes his opponent, and it's not worth caring about.
After a moment, Wang Mo stood up amid everyone's expectations and flew to the top of the stone peak.
Many sects involved in the public opinion storm immediately breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that today's incident was not as bad as it could be, and there was still some room for maneuver.
Gu Zhuo looked at Wang Mo.
Wang Mo smiled and said, "As early as yesterday, I wanted to fight with you."
Gu Zhuo didn't say anything.
Wang Mo looked at him and continued, "When you defeated Xie Yinglian earlier, I wanted to fight you even more because I thought it would be a very interesting battle."
Gu Zhuo understood the meaning of the words and felt that this person was interesting.
Wang Mo said: "I originally wanted to hide in the corner and pretend to be dead, and then fight you after this storm is over."
Up to this point, he had said three sentences in total, and each sentence was about war.
No matter how you look at it, they are full of fighting spirit.
However, the next moment, Wang Mo turned around without hesitation, faced the bitter monk, and said something no one expected: "I lose this battle."
The mountains were quiet.
Almost everyone thought they had heard it wrong, but the next moment Wang Mo had already walked away.
Just like his name, he did not explain his choice at all. He walked without any hesitation and was determined and resolute.
Gu Zhuo looked at Wang Mo's back and said, "See you another day."
"wrong."
Wang Mo stopped, looked back at him, and corrected him: "We'll fight another day."
After hearing this, everyone finally understood what Wang Mo meant and their mood became extremely complicated.
——The reason why I am not fighting with you today is not because I cannot beat you, but because everyone wants me to fight with you, but I will not do so and fulfill their wishes.
This can be understood as rebellion.
But it could be more of pride.
Gu Zhuo watched Wang Mo leave, then retracted his gaze, looked at the remaining people, and said, "Go on."
……
……
There was no room for maneuver in what happened next, and the situation became clear.
It all depends on winning or losing.
On this day, these forces, which had had more or less conflicting interests in the past, put aside their past grudges and joined forces.
Disciples from many sects began to come out and fight with Gu Zhuo.
thereafter.
Chen Changhe, the most outstanding disciple of the Dragon Elephant Sect in the contemporary era, was defeated by the third sword.
Qingchen, the saint of Chaosheng Temple, had gathered her strength to the peak but still could not withstand the thousands of swords in an instant.
Luo Yuan, the eldest brother of the Sun Moon Sect, tried to attack but was defeated with one sword.
The successor of Changqing Pavilion, who was famous for his defensive skills, was chopped to pieces.
Yunshanzhai was known for being as immovable as a mountain and being able to overwhelm others with its might, but it was shattered at the first touch of Gu Zhuo's sword.
The elder brother of the Li family of Southern Qi fainted on the spot because the sword intent invaded his mind.
The chosen ones from all over the world who participated in the Cihang Dharma Assembly, no matter what their realm was, had never been able to fight Gu Zhuo as fiercely as Xie Yinglian had.
From noon till dusk, the mountain remained as silent as ever, without any moment of uproar.
Some forces that had nothing to do with the matter, such as the group from Chaotian Jianque, watched as those geniuses who were usually praised by everyone silently challenged Gu Zhuo one after another and then failed.
This silence is even more shocking.
When dusk falls and the sky and earth are as dark as blood, many people even feel a sense of tragedy in their hearts.
However, when they looked at Gu Zhuo, whose face had turned pale and looked a little haggard, no longer as arrogant as he was during the day, the so-called feeling of tragedy and sorrow was immediately replaced by another strong emotion, or a question.
How can we defeat this unreasonably powerful opponent?
If we just keep holding on, will we be able to win?
Those young men who were defeated by Gu Zhuo began to look for him, their sights constantly flying back and forth in the dim mountains, and then they discovered a fact that made them suddenly lose their minds... They had been defeated to the point where no one could stand up anymore.
When thinking of this, many people began to feel confused, and then began to doubt themselves, and then began to doubt whether Gu Zhuo was a human being, but in the end, the problem came back to themselves, and many people collapsed and cried bitterly.
No matter how inhuman Gu Zhuo is, they have no excuses as they have fought with so many people until now and still cannot win.
It is not only the younger generation of practitioners who find it difficult to accept the fact, but also the strong ones from various sects.
Because until this moment, they still couldn't see through the flaws in Gu Zhuo's martial arts, and couldn't find a way to crack it. The only thing they could do was let their own disciples continue to consume his energy.
Until you are in a situation where you cannot be defeated.
The whole mountain was as quiet as a huge tomb.
Gu Zhuo lowered his head, looked at the disciples of various sects who were crying at the graves with numb faces, and comforted them sincerely.
"Look at the bright side. It is actually a very lucky thing for you to have the chance to be defeated by my sword."
