Chapter 236: The Silver Moon Sect’s Master, Who is eloquent and irritable
Sect’s Silver Moon Sect Master. “Liuyun Town?” Lu Qing asked, gazing at the town ahead. “Senior Xu, what’s the relationship between this town and the Liuyun Sect?”
“This town is considered a subsidiary of the Liuyun Sect, specifically used to supply the sect with daily necessities.
After all, as a major sect, the Liuyun Sect can’t allow such unauthorized individuals to enter and exit its mountain gates daily.
Therefore, they typically go down the mountain every once in a while to make large purchases to meet the sect’s disciples’ needs.” “
I see.” Lu Qing looked ahead, sensing with his spiritual power, “It seems we haven’t arrived too late. The major sects haven’t even begun their campaign yet.”
Lu Qing could sense that Liuyun Town ahead was filled with powerful auras.
Dozens of auras, their energy restrained, yet faintly like a volcano, harboring a formidable power that remained hidden.
Clearly, they were all true martial arts masters, far more powerful than even Senior Xu beside him.
However, Lu Qing was somewhat surprised to detect no Xiantian Realm cultivators among them. He
wondered if the Xiantian Realm cultivators from the major sects hadn’t arrived, or if they had used special secret techniques to conceal their own Xiantian auras.
At his current level, Lu Qing knew that the unique auras wielded by Xiantian Realm cultivators allowed them to sense each other’s presence even without physical contact, even as long as they were in close proximity.
But this wasn’t always true.
Certain secret techniques or rare treasures could conceal Xiantian auras.
He had witnessed such instances before.
For example, the treasure wielded by Lin Zhirui, a disciple of the Tianji Tower, was capable of masking all auras, deceiving even Xiao Li’s perception.
Furthermore, Master, since achieving the complete Xiantian realm, had also been able to perfectly conceal his own Xiantian auras, preventing other Xiantian Realm cultivators from sensing him.
“Master, should we go in?”
Lu Qing knew that Master should also be able to sense the town’s situation.
The old doctor pondered for a moment, then shook his head. “No need. Let’s find a place to settle down outside of town. There’s no need to go in and cause trouble.”
“That’s what I think,” Lu Qing nodded.
While the major sects’ combined efforts at Liuyun Sect might seem like a shared hatred,
in reality, it’s far from simple.
At least from what Lu Qing could sense, he could detect several powerful auras within the town, each vying for support, a subtle tit-for-tat.
This showed that even these supposedly allied sects were deeply conflicted and not entirely united.
Given the situation, who knew what would unfold next, it was best for them to remain outside the town and wait and see.
“Doctor Chen, Young Master Lu, aren’t we going into town?” the chubby middle-aged man asked, a little taken aback.
“No, since we’re just here to witness the excitement and broaden our horizons, there’s no need to get too close. It’s better to observe from a distance to avoid any trouble,” the old doctor said.
“…Okay,” the chubby middle-aged man could only offer.
But he didn’t think the old doctor and his men were truly afraid of any trouble.
He could still vividly remember Lu Qing and his men slaughtering the bandits two days prior.
How could someone so resolute in their killings not even dare to enter a small town?
Since the old doctor had said so, the chubby middle-aged man naturally didn’t argue.
After spending the past two days together, he had come to realize that Doctor Chen and Lu Qing and their group were quite mysterious, with many things completely beyond his comprehension.
Take, for example, their cultivation level.
He had witnessed Lu Qing’s astonishing hidden weapon skills that day, instantly dispatching over twenty bandits armed with hidden weapons and powerful bows.
But no matter how hard he observed and sensed Lu Qing afterwards, he could not discern Lu Qing’s true cultivation level.
From beginning to end, his perception of Lu Qing’s Qi and Blood power remained at the Qi and Blood realm, unchanged.
The same was true of Doctor Chen.
He appeared unremarkable, and aside from appearing more energetic than the average elderly man, he displayed no other exceptional qualities.
But how could someone who could teach a disciple like Lu Qing, and command the heartfelt respect and willingness of two martial arts masters like Ma Gu and Wei Zi’an to serve as their servants, be anything but ordinary?
Therefore, the more the chubby middle-aged man observed Lu Qing and the others over the past two days, the more alarmed he became.
Fortunately, Lu Qing and his companions were kind and not at all overbearing, and their meals were truly delicious.
Otherwise, the chubby middle-aged man would have considered sneaking away with his daughter and disciples while on the road.
So, Lu Qing and his companions found a good spot in the woods near the town and settled down temporarily.
Of course, Lu Qing and his companions weren’t the only ones doing this in the woods near Liuyun Town.
Many other vagrant warriors, who had heard the news and rushed to observe the excitement but didn’t want to get involved, also chose not to enter the town.
Instead, they found a hiding spot nearby, ready to flee if anything went wrong.
As Lu Qing and his companions bustled about, numerous powerful figures sat solemnly in Liuyun Town’s largest restaurant.
“Outrageous! Wang Pan, what’s the meaning of your Liuyun Sect? We’ve come together from so many sects, and not only have you refused to open the mountain gates to welcome us, you’ve even put us up in this shabby restaurant. Are you deliberately humiliating us?”
Suddenly, a burly man carrying a long axe slammed the table, abruptly stood up, and shouted angrily.
“Senior Zhao, you’ve misunderstood. Our Liuyun Sect is renowned for its hospitality, and this was absolutely not our intention. It’s just that your arrival was so sudden, and we weren’t well prepared. With limited wine and drinks on the mountain, we can’t properly entertain you. That’s why we’ve forced you to temporarily stay in this small town. We ask for your forgiveness, fellow practitioners.”
A tall, graceful man in white bowed deeply, then explained with a smile. “
Don’t strike a smiling person.”
Seeing his humble attitude, the burly man who had stood up couldn’t get angry any further. He could only snort and sit down.
The others didn’t want to push the issue any further.
However, when they heard him say that the Liuyun Sect was famous for its hospitality, a strange look crossed their faces.
Everyone in Yunzhou knew the Liuyun Sect’s reputation for tyranny and dominance.
Wang Pan had the audacity to use the word “hospitality,” truly worthy of his famed “Smiling Tiger.
” “So, Brother Wang Pan, when can we go up to Liuyun Mountain? We’ve come all this way here. We can’t just be left here by your Liuyun Sect, can we?”
At this moment, a middle-aged man with a fair complexion, dressed like a teacher, asked.
“Don’t worry, Mr. Dai. As long as the disciples in the sect clean the rooms and prepare the wine and banquet, we will immediately open the mountain gate to welcome you up the mountain and treat you to a warm welcome, fulfilling our duty as hosts.” Wang Pan said with a smile.
Seeing that he always had a smile on his face, everyone felt like they were hitting cotton balls. For a moment, they didn’t know what to do.
“Hmph, that’s not necessary!” At this moment, a cold voice came from outside the restaurant, “This time, we from the major sects didn’t come here for your Liuyun Sect’s wine and drinks.
” Wang Pan, go back and tell your sect leader Mo Zhen that if you don’t quickly open the mountain gate, we will attack directly.
When the time comes, so many sects in Yunzhou will go to war with Liuyun Sect at the same time. I wonder if you can hold on!”
As the voice fell, a powerful aura came over, and more than ten warriors walked into the restaurant.
The leader was a middle-aged man with loose sleeves, a high bun, a dignified face, and a long beard.
Wang Pan’s face changed when he saw this middle-aged man with extraordinary temperament.
However, before he could say anything, another hoarse voice sounded.
“Sect Leader Shan is right. The Liuyun Sect has been acting more and more without measure in recent years. Do you really think that you are the leader of Yunzhou and can lead the righteous path? “
Accompanied by a hoarse voice, more than ten figures walked in.
Moreover, as soon as these more than ten figures came in, the eyes of everyone in the restaurant lit up.
Among the people who came, the one walking in front was a middle-aged woman in gray clothes and with an ordinary appearance.
But behind her were more than ten young women with beautiful looks and extraordinary temperament, which were very pleasing to the eye.
“Deputy Palace Master Liu, you are here too?” The middle-aged man with a high bun bowed slightly.
“Sect Master Shan, Deputy Palace Master Liu! “
The other warriors in the restaurant also stood up and saluted.
Seeing this scene, Wang Pan’s pupils shrank again. The fact that
the leader of the Silver Moon Sect and the deputy leader of the Hundred Flowers Palace came together was not good news for their Liuyun Sect.
The Liuyun Sect could ignore other sects.
But they really couldn’t take the Silver Moon Sect and the Hundred Flowers Palace, which were also the three major sects in Yunzhou, lightly.
Because, although the strength of these two major sects was slightly inferior to that of their Liuyun Sect.
But once they united, plus the small sects present, even their Liuyun Sect would find it difficult to resist.
“Meetings to Sect Master Shan and Deputy Palace Master Liu. “
Wang Pan collected his thoughts, forced a smile, and bowed to take his luggage.
“Smiling tiger, there is no need to be hypocritical here. Let me ask you, where is Mo Zhen? So many of us fellow practitioners from Yunzhou have come here, but he, as the leader of a sect, has been hiding in the mountains, not even showing his face. He only sent you, a personal disciple, down the mountain to deal with him. Isn’t this too much?”
Facing Wang Pan’s smiling face, the leader of the Yinyue Sect was not moved at all, but just said in a cold voice.
“Sect Master Shan, just a few days ago, my master had some feelings in his heart and some insights in the martial arts, so he went into seclusion and has not come out yet. As a disciple, Wang Pan did not dare to disturb him rashly, for fear of interrupting the master’s insights and making an unforgivable mistake. I hope that Sect Master Shan will understand.” Wang
Pan said with an apologetic smile.
“Oh, is there such a coincidence in the world? “The Silver Moon Sect’s Sect Master revealed a hint of sarcasm. “Wasn’t it rumored that your Flowing Cloud Sect’s Young Sect Master, Mo Zhen’s beloved son, was murdered a while ago? Even
with his own son murdered, he was still able to comprehend the Dao of Martial Arts. Your Sect Master is truly heartless and cruel!”
Wang Pan’s face changed. “Sect Master Shan, please be careful with your words. Our Young Sect Master is deeply saddened by the unfortunate murder of our Young Sect Master. I have seen him so distraught several times. Please, Sect Master Shan, refrain from slandering him.”
“Humph, so, he’s heartbroken over the death of his beloved son? Then what about the death of my disciple?
Your Flowing Cloud Sect used Mo Xuan’s death to extort resources from other sects. How are we going to settle this debt?”
the Silver Moon Sect Master said coldly.
“Sect Master Shan, we are also deeply saddened by the death of your disciple.
At that time, he had some conflicts with Elder Qiu of our sect. He was ruthless and didn’t even announce his sect name.
Elder Qiu thought he was a demon, and in anger, he hit him too hard and hurt his life.
This is really a misunderstanding. Elder Qiu did not intend to kill your disciple. I hope Sect Master Shan will understand.
As for the fact that our Liuyun Sect disciples extorted the major sects, that is an even bigger misunderstanding.
The original order from our master was for the disciples in the sect to find out the truth about the death of the young sect master.
Unexpectedly, there were a few greedy disciples in the sect, who used the sect’s order to plunder.
Now the sect has captured the offending disciples, and after this matter is over, they will be handed over to the sect masters for punishment. “
“Good! Good! Good! “
Looking at Wang Pan talking so eloquently, he not only washed away the sins committed by Liuyun Sect and pushed them onto some insignificant people, but even turned the tables and slandered his own disciples as people of the evil way.
The leader of Yinyue Sect laughed angrily.
“You are worthy of being Mo Zhen’s most outstanding disciple. Even I can’t help but admire your eloquence.
But Wang Pan, I think you got one thing wrong. I didn’t come here today to trade words with you.
If Mo Zhen doesn’t come out and give an explanation in person, then I will use his most outstanding disciple as a scapegoat!
Let him also feel the pain of losing his beloved disciple! “
After saying that, the leader of the Silver Moon Sect waved his sleeves, moved his shoulders slightly, and his palm emerged from his sleeves like a dragon’s claw, grabbing Wang Pan.
Wang Pan did not expect that the other party, as the leader of a sect, would be so disregarding his identity and suddenly attack him with a method that was almost a sneak attack.
In shock, he moved his feet and swayed his body, leaving several afterimages, trying to avoid the grab.
Unfortunately, his cultivation level was far inferior to that of the Silver Moon Sect’s leader, who had already entered the Grandmaster realm.
Under the Silver Moon Sect’s master-level exquisite claws, the afterimages he left could not deceive the other party at all.
In just a moment, his true identity was seen through, and the afterimage was grabbed and the shoulder was grabbed.
“Come here!”
After the Silver Moon Sect’s leader’s palm grabbed Wang Pan’s shoulder, he exerted force on his hand and instantly broke his scapula and grabbed him.
Seeing the pain on Wang Pan’s face, the Silver Moon Sect Master gently moved his palm and grasped his neck.
He whispered, “If I break your neck right now, do you think your master will come out of seclusion?”
“Sect Master Shan! Wait!”
The Silver Moon Sect Master’s sudden move caught everyone off guard.
Even the Hundred Flowers Palace’s Deputy Palace Master was startled and quickly shouted.
