Chapter 167 Big Eyes

After walking out of the dungeon, Zhou Ruixin went straight to Wenxin Pavilion.

Yulun Mountain is just a peak, but it has ups and downs and changes in terrain. Over the past three thousand years, there have been sometimes more and sometimes fewer disciples on the mountain, and the buildings on the mountain have also been repaired and added, gradually becoming the prosperous appearance it is today.

As he walked along, he saw layers of flying eaves and pointed corners hidden in the dense green shade, with disciples shuttling back and forth among them. Combined with the faint mist, it was like a street market in the sky.

Normally, this scene would always ease his annoyance a little, but now, after seeing it, he felt even more melancholy.

It was also because of Cheng Peixin. Although they were called senior and junior brothers, he didn't have any feelings for her. It was just that they were peers. As the sect master, he had to set an example for his disciples - if their cultivation was delayed, they could go to Deyang to be a master, and if their cultivation was abolished, they could stay in the mountains. This was the sect master's consideration for the friendship between fellow disciples, and his disciples should follow suit.

But now she forced him to kill her, which meant that he, as the sect leader, would have to do things differently in the future.

The sect is not a monolithic entity. Some people think that the current situation is that they should turn to the Six Sects of Mysterious Sect, some think that they should sit on the fence and wait and see, and some think that they should go all out to help the Swordsman.

Now he had to choose the first path, and he had to go all the way. Killing Cheng Peixin was to show everyone that the attitude of the Tianxin Sect Master on such a major matter was that those who went against me would die.

When they reached the entrance of Wenxin Pavilion, the two True Form Sect disciples beside the door took a step forward and raised their hands expressionlessly.

The previous few times he came here, the two gatekeepers behaved in the same way. At that time, he would stand three steps in front of the two of them, put his hands behind his back, and said to them kindly, "Please tell them that Tianxin Sect Master Zhou Ruixin pays homage to the Zhenxing Sect's Deyang Guardian."

The two men must have enjoyed this job and enjoyed seeing him being so respectful. But this time, Zhou Ruixin did not stop or look sideways, and stepped directly onto the stairs.

The two disciples of the True Form Sect were stunned and seemed to want to stop him, but Zhou Ruixin glanced at them indifferently, and they were stunned again and retreated awkwardly.

Zhou Ruixin went straight up to the fifth floor and saw Miao Yi, Lou He, and Zhao Xuchen talking around the sand table.

Miao Yi turned to look at him, frowned slightly, turned his face away again, and continued to finish his words: "...So what Junior Brother Lou thought was right. The swordsman is most afraid of us waiting for us to tire ourselves out. However, we still need to think about the triple formation, and we have to prepare everything by tomorrow afternoon at the latest. By the day after tomorrow, we will have twelve available people, which is more than in Coffin City, but it is enough. Junior Brother Lou, what do you think of this arrangement?"

Lou He nodded: "Senior Brother Miao is right."

Only then did Miao Yi turn around and found that Zhou Ruixin was already sitting behind the desk - this seat was originally occupied by the leader of Tianxin Sect, but it had been guarded by Deyang these days.

Miao Yi looked at him and smiled: "What is Sect Leader Zhou planning to do? You came straight up without telling anyone, and now you've heard everything I taught you. Oh... Sect Leader Zhou, have you figured it out and are planning to get involved?"

Zhou Ruixin sat at the desk with a calm face. After a moment of silence, he said, "My Tianxin Sect is not the most powerful among the thirty-six sects, but it is not the weakest either. Three thousand years of foundation, a territory of ten thousand miles, has been managed by generations to my hands. This foundation is not big, but it is definitely not small. It can always influence the thoughts and ideas of hundreds of thousands of people."

Miao Yi hummed: "You don't need Sect Master Zhou to tell you, these things are naturally clear to the Xuan Sect."

Zhou Ruixin smiled and said, "I'm afraid the garrison commander knows but is not clear about it. So I came to remind him not to make mistakes."

Miao Yi frowned and was about to explode when he felt Lou He tug at his sleeve. He was about to turn around to look at Lou He when he first noticed something was wrong - Zhou Ruixin was very different today, no longer submissive, but full of aura, like the leader of a sect.

His heart skipped a beat and he said in a deep voice, "Master, what do you want to say? Are you saying that you got this foundation from Taiyi Dao, so you are impatient with us staying in Yulun Mountain?"

Zhou Ruixin smiled and shook his head: "If I had ever made you impatient with the garrison before, it was probably because I made you feel impatient. You did not regard me as the leader of a sect, but only as a servant for you to dispatch."

Miao Yi sighed, "Oh, is that why you are talking to me like this today? Zhou Ruixin, I'm afraid you are mistaken. Ten thousand miles in radius, hundreds of thousands of people? How does it compare to my True Form Sect? The True Form Sect has a border town——"

"Yes. That's what I said. I'm afraid you'll make mistakes if you guard it." Zhou Ruixin stood up and walked to the side of the building, looking outside. "The Tianxin Sect is nothing compared to the True Form Sect, but are you the leader of the Five Mountains True Form Sect?"

Miao Yi was stunned by his words.

Zhou Ruixin turned around and looked at him: "You should know that this time, it's not just your Five Mountains True Form Sect that's leaving the diocese, there are five other sects as well. Everyone in the world knows exactly what you want to do this time - hunting down the swordsman is not something that can be accomplished overnight, it will take years and months."

"Last time, more than three hundred years ago, you destroyed Youjiuyuan, and thought that the swordsmanship was greatly damaged and would naturally perish. But in the past three hundred years, it has not perished, but has shown signs of revival. So this time, I guess you have no intention of going back after you come out - the thirty-six sects will either submit to you or be wiped out like Taiyi Sect."

"Those who submit to you can truly become servants of your six sects, managing your land and people, passing on information, and bearing the wrath of the swordsmen. When the blood of the swordsmen is shed and we, the people of the thirty-six sects, have declined, you won't have to clean us up yourself."

Miao Yi slowly frowned: "What do you want to say?"

Zhou Ruixin raised an eyebrow: "Why, you still can't hear it? Okay, Miao Zhenshou, I'll put it in a simpler way."

"I know exactly what you are going to do, and I also know the future of the sect. So, if you really want my Tianxin Sect to submit to the Zhenxing Sect, your current behavior won't work. During these days in Yulun Mountain, have you ever sincerely discussed with me what benefits the Tianxin Sect will gain? What will happen to me as the sect leader in the future? How will my disciples and assets be handled in the future?"

"Perhaps you feel that under the pressure of the True Form Sect, the Tianxin Sect has no other choice but to go to the Xuan Sect, but don't forget that the Xuan Sect is also divided into six branches. To put it bluntly, you are here to grab territory. You, the Deyang Guardian, are here to grab the territory near Deyang. If you lose the territory you have obtained, I am afraid it will be very difficult for you. As for our Tianxin Sect, in addition to the True Form Sect, we also have the Taiyang Sect, the Taiyin Sect, the Baosheng Sect, and the other five sects to choose from. So I say, Miao Guardian, with the way you have been acting these days, I am afraid you will make mistakes."

Miao Yi's face turned pale because of what he said. It was Lou He who squeezed his arm a little harder behind him that stopped him from walking away. He stared at Zhou Ruixin for a while and slowly exhaled: "When I heard that there was a Yuanying swordsman nearby a few days ago, I didn't see you speak so toughly."

Zhou Ruixin sneered and looked at the sand table behind him: "Do you think I'm afraid of a Yuanying swordsman? I gave this pavilion to you because I was not afraid of you, but the Zhenxing Sect. I didn't want to take action against that swordsman a few days ago, and I was not afraid of him, but the Donghuang Taiyi Sect."

"You have been thinking about it day and night, using all kinds of means, and even planning to target my sect's disciples, but this is the result? You set up the formation tomorrow and look for an opportunity to take action the day after tomorrow?"

Lou He took a step forward, bowed to Zhou Ruixin, and said politely: "Master, can you allow me to have a few words with Miao Zhenshou in private?"

Zhou Ruixin smiled coldly: "As you wish." Lou He walked aside and winked at Miao Yi. Miao Yi stood still, as if he felt that taking a step forward would damage his dignity and face. However, after hesitating for a moment, he still flicked his sleeves and walked to Lou He's side.

"Brother Miao, calm down - no, you should be happy now."

Miao Yi took a deep breath and exhaled: "Why should I be happy?"

Lou He moved closer to him and said, "Brother, haven't you heard of the phrase 'strong on the outside but weak on the inside'? We've been here for a few days, and Zhou Ruixin has been timid and avoided us. That's why I came up with an idea. I suggest you ask Cheng Peixin to use a self-torture trick on Li Wuxiang, right?"

"Before, Senior Brother, you said that my self-torture trick was useless, but now it seems that it has actually worked - Zhou Ruixin knows that his disciples are involved in the fight between our Xuan Sect and the Sword Sect. Swordsmen are like crazy when they seek revenge, and he naturally knows that. So, you see, isn't he scared to death? He knows that he must sincerely devote himself to our Zhenxing Sect to ensure temporary peace."

"But now the situation is urgent, he has to show off in this way, so that we can feel that the Tianxin Sect is also of great importance in this area. Brother, the more rude he is to you now, the more afraid he is in his heart."

Miao Yi was silent for a while, as if pondering his words. After a while, he hummed: "You are still too arrogant."

"Otherwise, Senior Brother, since you are too lazy to talk to him, leave this matter to me. The thirty-six sects' skills are not good enough, and Zhou Ruixin's Nascent Soul is a fake one, but the strength of the fake one is also above the Golden Core Perfection of the Xuan Sect and Taiyi Sect. With him taking action against Li Wuxiang, plus the Zhiyue Xuanguang of the Tianxin Sect, this matter should be foolproof."

Miao Yi frowned and thought for a moment, then waved his hand and walked to the side behind the screen: "Go ahead."

Lou He walked up to Zhou Ruixin again and bowed to him: "Master, please forgive us. It's not that we were rude before, but the truth is that the swordsman is a serious threat to us--"

"Can a seriously injured Jindan swordsman be considered a serious threat?" Zhou Ruixin smiled, "Why, Miao Zhenshou doesn't see me, so you are the one talking to me? Then do you have the final say on what I said before?"

"Master, I think we should talk about the swordsman first—"

Zhou Ruixin stopped smiling, stared at Lou He for a while, and said, "Since you are worried about that person, let's deal with him first. It will only take a day. I will also let you see what the Tianxin Sect relies on to survive in this world for more than 3,000 years."

After he said this, he closed his eyes slightly, as if feeling a little tired. He rubbed his eyebrows gently, then opened them again.

"I'll capture him first."

……

When he was still thirty miles away from Yulun Mountain, Li Wuxiang could already see the moon halo on the top of the peak in the distance.

Today was a cloudy day, with low clouds and no sunlight. Therefore, the moon halo was particularly eye-catching, like a second sun with soft light.

He drank some more water, carefully checked the contents of his stomach, and thought over his plan again - first capture a disciple of the Tianxin Sect, this matter had to be done quickly, first find out the situation within the sect, and then sneak into the mountains.

I can see better than ordinary people at night, so I should wait a little longer until night.

It should be dusk now, and there is about an hour left before the sun completely sets. He was standing in a forest growing on flat ground, so he jumped onto a tree, hid in the tree canopy and took a nap for a while.

When he woke up, he found that it was completely dark and the thin clouds in the sky had dispersed. Tonight was a big moon, and the trees, the flowers and plants below, and the grass in the distance were all brightly illuminated. If someone wanted to read a book, they should be able to see clearly if they squinted their eyes and got closer.

So Li Wuxiang jumped down from the tree canopy, feeling full of energy and refreshed, enough to deal with the upcoming battle.

He shrank his body into a snake, moving in the shadows of the trees and in the weeds that were taller than the calves of passers-by.

Then, he gradually felt a little uneasy.

I felt inexplicably nervous, as if I were a young man walking alone in a long, dark alley, always feeling that someone was following me, and couldn't help but look back anxiously.

He initially felt that he was a little nervous, because what he was about to do was to challenge a sect alone with his sword.

So he tried to circulate his inner breath while walking, so as to calm himself.

But after a quarter of an hour, he found that it was totally useless - the panic did not seem to come from his heart, but from his newly refined skin that had reached the Golden Cloud realm, which became sensitive to something.

Li Wuxiang immediately stopped in a clump of weeds and listened carefully.

The sound of the night wind blowing through the grass tips, the chirping of insects gradually rising around him, the movement of small creatures moving back and forth among the grass roots... He was very sure that there was no one else around except him, not even a monster that might have some magical powers.

That is how the matter?

Two breaths later, Li Wuxiang suddenly raised his head and looked in the direction of Yulun Mountain, then looked at the sky -

The halo on the top of Yulun Mountain disappeared, and in the sky, there were two moons, like a pair of bright eyes.

Now, Li Wuxiang felt that these eyes hanging high in the sky were staring at him.
