Chapter 240 Be Careful You Don’t Have a Taoist Companion
"Sit down. Standing is so tiring." Xi Qiegui lifted his robe and sat down carelessly. "You have been in this secret realm for more than ten years and have missed a lot of important things."
"You say."
"The Demon Lord has resurrected and started fighting again. The battle between humans and demons has already ended. The human race won easily because they were well prepared, but the Demon Lord blew himself up and almost wiped out all the monks who participated in the battle."
"It was Meng Yannian who sacrificed himself to the demon to save the army."
"This is the History of the Falling Stars revised by Yu Zheng, take a look." Xi Qiegui handed him a jade slip.
Xu Wushi placed the jade slip on his forehead, and after a moment he understood the major events that had happened in recent years.
"The Wanli Qianji Formation was damaged, and the human and demon races almost went to war again. Hundreds of great tribulation masters devoted all their efforts to repair it for several years."
"The vicious beast Zhu Yan wanted to destroy the Wanli Qianji Formation at the last moment, but Yu Zheng arrived in time and trapped Zhu Yan with a secret technique."
"So what do you want to say?" Xu Wushi poured him tea.
"I want to say that the two from Yunwaitian are not your main opponents. Yu Zheng is. She was able to trap Zhu Yan, who was at the peak of the Crossing Tribulation Stage, with her cultivation at the Fusion Stage. Her strength is unpredictable."
"Meng Yannian, the young master of the Xia family and Xing Yuan's last disciple, has already left. The host Xia family and other forces are nothing to be afraid of."
"I understand. I will go practice." Xu Wushi stood up.
Xi Qiegui drank the tea in one gulp and looked at Chi Xi, "Neither you nor I are cold-hearted, so how come you have raised him to be as boring as an old man?"
Chi Xi took a peach petal and put it into his mouth to chew, "You are not in tune, so he has to be calm."
Chi Xi turned into a fox and ran away. "I'll go get a pot of wine from your senior brother. If he comes looking for me, you take the beating for me."
Xi Qiegui's mouth twitched. He was always finding things to do.
A month later, Xu Wushi changed into the uniform of a Pinyue disciple and came out of the room, and saw Xi Qiegui standing in the yard.
"Brat, let's go, your uncle is going to explode with impatience."
Xu Wushi responded and followed him.
A ball of red suddenly fell on his shoulder. Xu Wushi glanced sideways, then grabbed him by the scruff of the neck and threw him to Xi Qiegui.
Xi Qiegui dodged, and Chixi turned into a human form before falling to the ground, "Xu Xiaoshi, you don't respect the elderly, what's wrong with lying down for me?"
"Not used to it."
Chi Xi choked for a while and said, "If you don't have human touch, be careful that you won't find a Taoist partner."
Xu Wushi ignored him.
When they arrived at the mountain gate, the headmaster Lin Tianya and a dozen disciples were already waiting.
He waved his sleeves and said, "Junior brother, I am so anxious that I want to fly up to the sky, but you are so slow."
"Uncle."
"Uncle Master."
Xu Wushi and his disciples saluted.
Xi Qiegui put his hands behind his back, "Then change your temper. The competition hasn't even started yet, why are you in such a hurry? With the teleportation array, it will only take less than an incense stick to get to the Wanggui Stage."
Lin Tianya choked, "Can one's temper be changed just like that? Let's go."
After going down the mountain gate and arriving at the inter-state teleportation array, the group was quickly teleported to Yanyun City, which was closest to Wangguitai.
As soon as the group from Luoyao Mountain came out, they saw the formation platform shaking again.
A group of monks in red and white disciple uniforms came out of the formation, led by a man and a woman.
The man has clear brows and calm eyes, while the woman has distant brows and a cold expression. Both of them have cloud patterns embroidered on their collars.
They bowed to Xi Qiegui and Lin Tianya.
"Master Lin, Senior Xi."
"Where are your master and the headmaster? Why are they nowhere to be seen?"
Ling Mocheng raised his head and glanced at the sky. "Yan Zun has been feeling bored again recently and said he wants to compete with Master. The battle is now in full swing."
"Master is already at Wangguitai."
The others looked up at the sky. The sky was divided into two colors, red and white, and the sky was covered with karmic fire and ice and snow.
Xi Qiegui patted Xu Wushi on the shoulder and sent him a message, "Your second strongest enemy is the two men under Xing Yuan's command."
Xu Wushi glanced at them and nodded.
The two groups flew to Wangguitai together.
When the clouds disperse and the sky becomes clear, the Three Hundred Miles Forget Home Terrace comes into view.
The clear smoke rises above the dome, the green mountains surround the pavilions, the green trees gather along the eaves of the building, the clear stream embraces the waterside pavilion, the green tiles lie on the high platform, the corridors are winding, and the colored glaze shines.
When they arrived at the Wanggui stage, Xia Chengqi, a disciple of the Xia family, came over to greet them, "Seniors and fellow Taoists, please follow me."
At this moment, the two colors in the sky suddenly disappeared, and a stream of red fire broke through the floating mist and flew towards the main hall of Wangguitai.
Another icy light fell in front of everyone in Yunwaitian, with clothes decorated with flowing clouds, and a heavy heart and a cold mind.
"Master." Ling Mocheng and Ye Yingshuang bowed to him.
Everyone from Luoyao Mountain also bowed and said, "Greetings, Mr. Li."
"Why did Xia Buyan want to fight with you again?" Compared to Lin Tianya, Xi Qiegui was more familiar with him and asked with a smile.
"Anyway, he just thought about the past and felt that I was not pleasing to his eyes." Xing Yuan said in a calm voice with a blank expression, "Let's go."
Xi Qiegui walked beside him, "Xing Yuan, I couldn't beat you and Xia Buyan back then, but I accepted a precious disciple. This time, my disciple will definitely be able to beat your disciple."
Xing Yuan did not respond.
Ye Yingshuang glanced at Xu Wushi who was standing beside him and replied, "Daoist Xu Wu is indeed extremely talented, but among his peers, I think there is someone else who will be the winner of the Fengyun Competition."
Xi Qiegui turned around and asked, "Oh? Is it you? Your senior brother or the one from the Yu family?"
"My junior sister." Ye Yingshuang bowed slightly towards him, followed Xing Yuan who had already climbed up to the third floor, and disappeared into the mountain mist.
Yunwaitian and his group disappeared, and Chixi nudged Xi Qiegui with his elbow, "It seems like you accidentally touched my heart."
Xi Qiegui shrugged and pulled Xu Wushi over. "How do you think the chances of winning are?"
"Ninety percent." Xu Wushi responded.
"That's a sure thing." Xi Qiegui laughed, "You are worthy of being my disciple."
Following the disciples to the residence prepared for Luoyaoshan by Wangguitai, Xi Qiegui poured the spiritual wine prepared for them on the table.
He took a sip and said, "This wine is just like Xia's, hot and overbearing."
Xu Wushi took a sip, suppressed the spiciness in his mouth, and nodded.
Xi Qiegui looked at him and said, "Your personality is similar to that of the Yunwaitian Fuyun Peak lineage. You have the same expressionless face. If others don't know you, they would think you are Xing Yuan's disciple."
"It's just nature."
Wanjiezhu curled his lips and said, "If you have the guts, you can do the same in front of the mission target."
Xi Qiegui continued to chatter to him about the situation of Fengyun and other immortal sects, and Xu Wushi refilled his tea from time to time.
The next day, the Fengyun Competition began. The Liuyun Stage was filled with the heads and masters of various immortal sects, and their disciples stood in an orderly manner behind them.
A stream of red light fell on the top, and all the disciples bowed in greeting.
"Meet Mr. Yan."
The man called Yan Zun had a handsome appearance, wild eyes and a casual demeanor. He was dressed in a red robe and looked very elegant.
Xia Buyan nodded calmly, "Sit down."
The disciples of the Immortal Sect took their seats like their leader only after receiving the order.
Xia Buyan glanced at the seats and asked, "Where is the Yu family?"
Xia Chengwei came out and said, "Master, something happened on the way to the Yu family, so we will be here later."
"Then just wait." Xia Buyan lowered his eyes and picked up the wine glass on the table, watching the jade liquid shaking in the glass.
"The Yu family is late. Yu Zheng would like to apologize to you on behalf of the Yu family." A female voice came through the clouds, followed by a woman in a lake blue robe landing on the edge of the Liuyun Terrace and bowing slightly towards the hundreds of immortal families.
Her eyebrows are like spring mountains, her eyes are like autumn water, her shoulders are like carved stones, and her waist is like a piece of silk. When she comes, it seems like there is snow blowing in the wind.
Yu Zheng straightened up and walked towards Liuyun Terrace. The frost-colored jade plate on her waist fit well with the hem of her skirt, and the frost and snow on her clothes looked lifelike.
Behind her, a group of monks dressed in the uniforms of Fu Tianlan's disciples appeared. Led by two people, they followed her in an orderly manner and saluted the first of the hundred families present.
Xia Buyan pointed to the side and said, "Sit down."
"Thank you, Uncle Xia." Yu Zheng slightly lowered her eyes towards him, and her smile was as beautiful as spring flowers.
Wanjiezhu touched Xu Wushi, "Host, mission target."
Yu Zheng turned around, ignoring the gazes that were cast upon her, and sat down in her seat. All the Yu family disciples sat down behind her.
Her eyes swept across the people present. Xu Wushi met her gaze, nodded slightly, then stepped away and lowered his head to drink tea.
Yu Zheng picked up the wine glass and raised it towards them, "Beitian has just recovered. The elders in my family are recovering their strength and cannot spare time. Yu Zhengmang will sit with all the seniors and offer a glass of wine to express his apology."
Xing Yuan said, "Let's drink tea instead."
"Thank you, Venerable Changli, for your understanding." Upon hearing this, Yu Zheng changed the tea.
