Chapter 49 The day dawned and the sky fell.

After getting some free help from the headmaster of Jiyue Sect, Jiang Zhaoyue put the communication jade talisman aside and began to practice in a very good mood.

It was not until a long time later that the communication jade talisman vibrated again.

She glanced at it casually.

The above is what Lian Yueqing sent after a long time.

"My friend, after seeing my body, are you so eager to abandon me?"

Although the sentence was calm and without any abnormality, one could see a hint of exasperation between the lines.

After all, he used the word "seducing and abandoning", which was very rare for the headmaster Ji Yue.

Jiang Zhaoyue glanced at him casually and continued to practice without answering him.

After an unknown amount of time, the communication jade talisman vibrated again.

"If you are not in a good mood today, then we can talk about it another day."

Jiang Zhaoyue didn't respond at all.

Lian Yueqing didn't send any more messages.

However, it is foreseeable that Senior Lian Yue will not be very happy.

Jiang Zhaoyue continued to practice until nightfall, when the master came to find her.

Fu Lanting didn't disturb her cultivation. When she woke up from her meditation, he leaned forward and said affectionately, "Xiaobao, you haven't spoken to me all day."

A cultivator could spend years in seclusion, let alone a single day. But for the current headmaster, even a single day was a long time. After all, there were still several people around him who were eyeing him covetously.

He hadn't been able to get close to Jiang Zhaoyue these past few days. Every time, either Chu Jinhe asked to see him, or Luo Huaiyin came to see Jiang Zhaoyue, and occasionally he would meet Jiang Qiying by chance.

Jiang Zhaoyue occasionally paid attention to Chu Jinhe and didn't want to see Luo Huaiyin most of the time, but he would always feel soft-hearted towards Jiang Qiying.

Therefore, the master has been a little worried during this period.

Jiang Zhaoyue sat up from the cushion, a smile on her face, and hugged him affectionately, "I must practice hard so that I can catch up with my uncle faster in the future."

Fu Lanting didn't say anything like 'I'll protect you', but simply suggested, "Now is indeed a good time for you to practice. Outsiders should refrain from disturbing you, lest they disrupt your practice."

As for who these outsiders are, there is naturally no need to say more.

Jiang Zhaoyue understood his implied meaning, but she just smiled, said nothing, and stood up to fold the futon.

After Fu Lanting put away the futon, her eyes accidentally swept over the communication jade talisman placed next to the futon.

His brows suddenly furrowed.

He grabbed the jade talisman in his hand, and as if he was thinking of something, he said with a cold tone, "Is this the communication jade talisman that Lian Yueqing gave you?"

Jiang Zhaoyue nodded very honestly.

Fu Lanting tightened his grip on the jade talisman and remained silent for a moment. He looked up at her and asked, "Can I see it?"

"Master, it's up to you. It's just a jade talisman for communication. Master, you don't have to ask me. I won't hide anything from you."

Jiang Zhaoyue's attitude was astonishingly calm.

And this is a rare truth she speaks.

Because she really doesn't care.

Fu Lanting probed in with his spiritual sense and soon saw two sentences.

——My dear friend, are you going to abandon me just because you have seen my body?

——If you are in a bad mood today, let’s talk about it another day.

Jiang Zhaoyue did not respond to either of these two messages.

Fu Lanting's face darkened, and he returned the jade talisman to Jiang Zhaoyue in silence.

Jiang Zhaoyue leaned against him and said innocently, "Never mind my business, Uncle Master can't blame me."

"I know."

Fu Lanting took a deep breath, revealed a gentle smile, touched the top of her head, and said: "You are a good child. I know that he was the one who seduced you. It's okay, just ignore him and let your uncle handle everything."

When he said this, he had completely forgotten how Jiang Zhaoyue had slowly boiled him like a frog in warm water, breaking his bottom line again and again until now.

Love can gild a person and make the dark side of memories disappear without a trace. This is the case with Fu Lanting at this moment.

After comforting Jiang Zhaoyue, Fu Lanting remained silent for a moment before speaking to her as usual.

Late at night, Jiang Zhaoyue continued to practice, while Fu Lanting walked out of the side hall with a gloomy expression.

The Third Elder waited for him outside Chonghua Hall for a long time. Seeing the Sect Master come out, he finally stepped forward and said bitterly, "Sect Master, I was distracted earlier and asked Young Friend Jiang to explain, which backfired. I am willing to take full responsibility. However, the rumors outside are really too much. I hope you can find a solution."

Fu Lanting didn't look at him, but walked forward slowly, his voice calm, "It's okay, it will calm down after a few days. If any disciples in the sect are affected by it, you can go to the treasury and get some supplies to make up for it."

"But……"

Before the Third Elder could finish his words, he saw his own headmaster suddenly stop and turn to look at him. The calmness in his eyes was frightening.

He suddenly felt a sense of foreboding, just like that day.

As expected, the calm in Fu Lanting's eyes grew colder. He looked at the Third Elder and instructed him word by word, "While I'm away, if there are any unusual movements in the sect, have the Second Elder lead the Law Enforcement Hall to suppress them. Also, no one is allowed to approach Chonghua Hall."

"Master, you..."

The third elder's heart was pounding, but before he could finish his words, he saw Fu Lanting's figure disappear in an instant.

He stared blankly at the void in front of him, feeling his heartbeat getting faster and faster, with no sign of calming down.

Taking a deep breath, the third elder quickly rushed to the Elder Hall.

And his spiritual consciousness has already penetrated into the communication jade talisman in the ring and sent out the message.

"Come to the Elders' Hall quickly! Something's going to happen again!"

The third elder's premonition was very accurate.

It is lonely in the middle of the night, with only a bright moon hanging quietly in the sky.

However, just half an hour later, the sky beside the moon suddenly burst into a bright light, covering the moon. Behind the light was a bottomless darkness. The sky seemed to be cut open with a huge hole. The debris of space fell down and turned into nothingness ashes in mid-air.

The roar resounded through the sky, waking up countless practitioners in meditation.

Half an hour ago.

Guangyuntai.

Lian Yueqing was indeed in a bad mood. Even when he was beaten by Fu Lanting that day, he just sneered.

A brainless fool.

But today is really unhappy.

The fact that Jiang Zhaoyue got him for free was secondary; the main thing was that she completely ignored him.

For a person who is arrogant by nature, ignoring him is the most unbearable thing.

What's more, she was just a young monk, a girl in her twenties.

But he never showed his emotions on his face, and even if he was unhappy, he would not show it on his face.

It happened that tonight, the head of the Jinyang Immortal Sect and the head of the Xuanqi Immortal Sect came to visit together. Lian Yueqing hosted a banquet at Guangyuntai to entertain the two friends.

After just a few drinks and chatting, a golden light flashed across the sky at a speed almost invisible to the naked eye. A figure landed on Guangyun Terrace, revealing the face of a handsome, mature man.

His face was cold, his wide sleeves hung to the ground, and the Zhoutian Star Robe on his body was floating in the air, transforming into illusory and scorching star shadows, as if they were about to break free from the robe in the next moment.

They all knew this person.

Fu Lanting.

In an instant, the three drinking masters and the disciples serving around them fell silent.

After a while, Lou Xuanyin, the headmaster of Xuanqi Xianzong, stood up, bowed, and said with a smile, "Friend Fu, it's been a long time."

Fu Lanting glanced at him without answering, his eyes falling on Lian Yueqing's face, who had not yet stood up.

No one else present knew what the entanglement between them was, but everyone knew that the battle outside the Ninth Heaven a few days ago had caused countless people to be terrified.

At this moment, he stared at Lian Yueqing again, and it seemed that what he wanted to do was about to come out.

The relationship between Lou Xuanyin and Lian Yueqing can only be considered ordinary friends, but if they really fight, it will be a headache.

If the three of them joined forces, Fu Lanting would not be their match, but offending Fu Lanting for Lian Yueqing would be a losing deal.

The other headmaster, the headmaster of the Jinyang Immortal Sect, had a closer relationship with Lian Yueqing. The Sun and Moon Sects had always been of the same blood.

But no matter what, when one reaches the status and strength of a master, no one wants to fight a life-and-death battle for no reason.

Based on this, the two outsider sect leaders exchanged a glance, and Lou Xuanyin spoke up, "Brother Fu, I wonder what the grudge between Brother Fu and Brother Lian Yue is. It has come to this. You and I are both sect leaders. If it weren't for a life-and-death feud, I hope Brother Fu would listen to me, sit down for a drink, and we can talk it over slowly, okay?"

This time, Fu Lanting didn't even look at him. He just lowered his eyes to look at Lian Yueqing, as if he was looking at a dying thing.

Lian Yueqing slowly drank the wine in the cup, smiled and looked up, speaking gently, without any hostility in his eyes, a look that made people feel good: "Brother Fu, what brings you to me today?"

Golden light filled Fu Lanting's palm. He looked at Lian Yueqing quietly, each word he read was as sharp as an ice cone.

"Have I ever told you that if you seduce Zhaoyue again, I will kill you."

"What?"

The two masters who were about to say a few more words of advice stopped subconsciously, and even their eyes were a little confused.

It took him several breaths to connect Fu Lanting's words with the name "Zhaoyue".

Although Jiang Zhaoyue is Lin Bozhou's most beloved disciple and is famous, for the powerful masters at the level of sect leaders, they have only heard of his name and know that he is an outstanding young man from the Yunmiao Immortal Sect. After all, a genius is a genius, and a strong person is a strong person, but a genius is not equal to a strong person.

It was not until recently that the name "Jiang Zhaoyue" became familiar to the ears of several masters.

The matter of a master stealing his disciple's wife did not attract their attention. The main reason they noticed it was because one of the protagonists was Fu Lanting.

The leader of the Qiling Immortal Sect with unparalleled combat power.

This was something that the various sect leaders would talk about, but at most it would just be a joke. To them, it was not a big deal, but just a romantic anecdote of Sect Leader Qi Ling himself.

But what do you hear now?

Fu Lanting suddenly arrived with murderous intent. Was it because Lian Yueqing, the head of Jiyue Xianzong, was secretly seducing his lover behind his back?

Could this be the reason for the last battle in the Nine Heavens?

Even with the shrewdness of the two masters, they couldn't help but look puzzled.

What kind of beauty and talent does Jiang Zhaoyue, a disciple of Lin Bozhou, have that could make two masters of the same level fight for her?

Fu Lanting didn't care what the two of them thought. The golden light in his hand became more intense, and his expression became calmer. He even looked at the headmaster of Jinyang Xianzong and said in a calm tone: "You can also come with us."

The Jinyang Sect Master's face darkened slightly. Fu Lanting's contempt was an insult to him. However, after a brief hesitation, he stood up.

"Friend Fu, starting a war over such a small matter is not our way. Why are you so impulsive?"

No matter what the reason is, since the Sun and Moon Sects are coexisting, he will definitely help Lian Yueqing.

Lou Xuanyin, the headmaster of Xuanqi Xianzong, frowned slightly and stepped aside. He said in a calmer tone, "Calm down, both of you."

Judging from his attitude, he doesn't want to get involved in this matter.

This was normal. Sect Master Jin Yang didn't look at him, but only glanced sideways at Lian Yueqing, who was still sitting in his seat. After a moment's thought, he sent a voice message: "Brother Lian Yue, did you really... seduce my little lover?"

Lian Yue smoothed the wrinkles on his sleeves, still smiling. He stood up leisurely and answered directly without sending a message: "There is no contract or engagement. Men and women marry freely. How can there be any seduction?"

Sect Leader Jin Yang opened his mouth, then closed it tightly again.

If they were alone, he would have said something about lust blinding one's mind, but now that there were three of them, he suppressed his words.

However, Lian Yueqing's words undoubtedly acknowledged Fu Lanting's questioning of him.

As the head of a sect, he secretly seduced someone else's lover. If this shameful behavior were to be spread, it would be no better than the rumors that Master Fu Lanting stole his disciple's wife and coveted his good friend's disciple.

So much so that the Jinyang Sect Leader endured it again and again, but finally couldn't help but say: "Brother Lian Yue, you are confused."

The head of a sect, the overlord of a region, a person standing at the top of the Donghao world, he can have any kind of Taoist partner he wants, but he chooses to seduce others. Isn't this self-degradation?

If the Sun and Moon Sects were not close, he really would not want to get involved in such a mess.

Lian Yueqing didn't feel ashamed at all. He glanced at Sect Leader Jin Yang and still smiled gently.

His voice was even more serene, "Brother Qin, your words are respectful. If Brother Fu had the ability to control people's hearts, why would he rush here to question me today? Since he's useless, why would he take his anger out on others?"

His voice was gentle and pleasant, but the meaning of his words was unpleasant.

He was almost saying that Fu Lanting had no ability to win Jiang Zhaoyue's heart, which was why he was so angry and questioned him.

If Jiang Zhaoyue loved him deeply, how could he seduce Lian Yueqing?

This was truly eye-opening. Even the Jinyang Sect Master, who supported him, was stunned: "Brother Lian Yue, you..."

However, Fu Lanting, who was sitting opposite them, suddenly smiled at this moment, with a look of sarcasm on his face.

The headmaster looked at him with some disdain, speaking slowly and deliberately. He stroked his wide sleeves and said with a sneer in his eyes:

"When you say you're taking your anger out on others, do you mean that you used underhanded means and used your body to seduce Zhaoyue, but still didn't get a response from her? Then you are truly shameless."

"cough--"

Lou Xuanyin, the head of Xuanqi Immortal Sect who was not helping either side, almost choked on a mouthful of wine.

His face flushed slightly, and he felt that the onlookers could no longer bear to listen, so he immediately bowed and said, "Well, my three Taoist brothers, Xuanqi Xianzong still has some matters to attend to, so I will leave first."

He was a decent man, and this was the most shocking and outrageous thing he had ever heard in his life. Even if it hadn't happened to him, he would have felt very uncomfortable.

Fu Lanting didn't look at him, still sneering: "Brother Lou, why bother about it? Just listening to it will pollute your ears. Some people don't care even if they do it."

Lou Xuanyin didn't know how to answer, so he could only force a smile.

The headmaster of the Jinyang Immortal Sect had an expression that was difficult to describe, but Lian Yueqing was still as gentle as before.

He chuckled softly, his eyes a deep purple. After a moment, he spoke, "If this is considered unpresentable and self-deprecating, then isn't Brother Fu the best among them? No matter how good I am, I can't compare to your superior skills. I'm afraid I can never learn to use yours."

His gaze was fixed on Fu Lanting's chest. Under the smooth fabric, the traces of the winding chain were not very obvious.

But those present were all powerful masters at the level of a master. Not to mention some traces, even the flapping of a moth's wings could be seen clearly from a thousand meters away.

So the other two followed his gaze and looked at Fu Lanting's chest.

Fu Lanting's body paused slightly, but soon returned to normal. He was not even a little stiff, and his posture was leisurely, completely different from when he was first seen.

Even though so many eyes were focused on his chest, he did not dodge or evade, and was not afraid of being stared at at all.

Then the two onlookers showed indescribable expressions again.

Even if they are not good friends, they are from the same generation and have known each other for at least one or two hundred years, so they are more or less familiar with each other.

But it was not until today that I found out that some people who are nominally the leaders actually behave like this in private.

Lou Xuanyin was about to leave, but now he said with some complexity: "Brother Fu, the rumor that you forcibly took your disciple's wife is not true, is it?"

Fu Lanting glanced at him and replied calmly, "It's not important."

Then he looked at Lian Yueqing again.

"Time and again, Lian Yueqing, today I'll let you know the consequences of coveting someone else's lover."

He didn't care at all about Sect Master Jinyang joining forces with him.

After looking at Lian Yueqing coldly, Fu Lanting casually cut open several layers of the sky and flew towards the ninth heaven.

The headmaster of Jinyang Sect was rather solemn. He sighed and said to Lian Yueqing, "Fu Lanting has always been overbearing. I'm afraid he won't give up today. Well, Brother Lian Yue, I'll go with you."

"Thank you, Brother Qin." Lian Yueqing said gently, "Brother Qin, there's no need to force yourself. Just assist me from the side. His target is me."

He also cut through a few lines of the sky and flew away.

Sect Leader Jin Yang shook his head and followed closely behind.

However, Master Xuanqi frowned for a few moments, but ultimately did not leave and followed him.

Then, there was a scene of golden light shining in the darkness and a huge gaping hole in the sky.

At that moment, the night almost turned into day, and countless people were awakened. They looked up at the sky with some fear, looking at the huge, hideous mouth and the constantly flickering light.

One, two, three, four.

The auras of four extremely powerful beings overflowed from the cracks, reaching heaven and earth.

At this moment, the entire Donghao world woke up.

However, in just half a minute, two other auras of the most powerful beings emerged from other places and headed towards the sky.

He is the headmaster of Dianxing Immortal Sect and Taiyuan Immortal Sect.

At this point, except for Lin Bozhou, the heads of the six major immortal sects gathered in the Ninth Heaven.

This kind of grand occasion can probably only be compared with the war between the Immortal Alliance and the Evil Alliance a thousand years ago.

In the Qi Ling Xian Sect, the third elder stood outside the Elder Hall, looking at the huge crack in the sky and the faint aura of the six most powerful beings, and was completely stunned.

Beside him, the Great Elder gasped and hissed, "Third Brother, didn't you say that the Sect Master might just cause trouble for Sect Master Ji Yue, and that a fight might break out? What is this? Is the sky falling?"

It took the Third Elder a while to come back to his senses. He looked blankly, "I don't know either. What's going on between Sect Leader Jinyang and Sect Leader Xuanqi? A Sect Leader fighting three alone?"

"How is that possible?"

The Great Elder finally stopped breathing and swallowed hard, a trace of confusion in his eyes: "What should we do now? This... Now the six masters are all in the Ninth Heaven. If we continue fighting, will there be any problems? Master Lin hasn't come out of seclusion yet?"

The third elder was startled by his words and finally reacted. He paused for a moment, ignored everyone, just muttered something, and went straight to Chonghua Hall.

"Yes, you are right. If we continue fighting, something bad will definitely happen."

Help!

The Third Elder rushed to Chonghua Hall as fast as he could, gritted his teeth, and ultimately ignored the Master's instructions and knocked on the door directly: "Young Friend Jiang, are you there?"

After knocking a few times, the door of the main hall opened from the inside. Jiang Zhaoyue smiled and looked at him: "It's the Third Elder. Elder, what can I do for you?"

When the Third Elder looked at her now, he felt that beneath this woman's gentle and soft face lay countless ruggednesses.

Everyone says that Jiang Qiying of their generation is the best of the time, but now it seems hard to say.

He took a deep breath and said solemnly to Jiang Zhaoyue's face, which was still smiling calmly, "You should have sensed that the six great sect leaders are all in the Ninth Heaven now. We don't know what the situation is like. But Sect Leader Lin is in seclusion at a critical moment. If we continue, I'm afraid something bad will happen. My friend, I want to ask you..."

He paused, then finally said, "Please come with me to the Ninth Heaven, Master. Only you can persuade me."

He thought he would have to waste his breath to persuade them again. After all, he was just an elder. Taking a disciple to the Ninth Heaven, if he accidentally encountered the aftermath of the battle between the masters, his life would be in danger.

But to his surprise, Jiang Zhaoyue agreed to his request directly.

Perhaps sensing the Third Elder's confusion, she spoke gently and calmly, her brows softening. "Why do you look at me like that, Third Elder? I don't like to embarrass others. I will help wherever I can."

She has always acted like this, which is why Fairy Zhaoyue is liked by so many people and why people would rather believe that Fu Lanting took it by force than believe that she did it voluntarily.

The Third Elder had the same impression of her before, but it was only during his time in the Qi Ling Xian Sect that he realized how terrifying this woman was.

But upon closer inspection, Jiang Zhaoyue had indeed never given anyone a hard time. Even if the lowest-ranking disciples of the Qiling Immortal Sect greeted her, she would respond with a smile. If anyone asked her for help, as long as it was legal and reasonable, she would help in any way she could. Her coldness seemed to be only directed at those with whom she had an ambiguous relationship.

Thinking about it this way, the Third Elder couldn't tell whether she was a good person or a bad person.

The left and right masters and his disciples were both willing to fight and be beaten, so it had nothing to do with others.

The Third Elder had no time to think about it as his thoughts were in a whirlwind. He quickly grabbed her shoulders and flew towards the Ninth Heaven.

As they approached the hideous rift, a powerful aura rushed towards them. Fearing that he would be affected, the Third Elder shouted at the top of his lungs from a distance, "Master, I've brought Zhaoyue with me."

The exploding space debris stopped for a moment, and then disappeared.

The bright golden light faded away, and in just three breaths, the powerful aura of battle came to an abrupt end.

The space was torn apart, and Fu Lanting rushed out from the crack and quickly came to their side. His face was a little cold.

"Who asked you to bring her here? Do you know how dangerous it is?"

His clothes were torn, and even the gold chain and the blood-red ruby ​​on his chest were faintly visible through the cracks.

A few drops of blood dotted the side of his face. Although his clothes were tattered, they only added a touch of handsomeness to his temperament.

Jiang Zhaoyue's eyes lit up slightly, and she stroked the gold chain on his chest, saying in a gentle tone, "Uncle Master, don't blame the Third Elder. I was the one who asked the Third Elder to bring me here."

Behind Fu Lanting, five figures also rushed out. Two of them had torn clothes and blood on their bodies, just like Fu Lanting.

But at this moment, the twelve gazes of the six sect leaders were fixed on Jiang Zhaoyue, almost frightening the third elder standing next to her to death.

Jiang Zhaoyue seemed unaware of anything. She walked past Fu Lanting, smiled and bowed slightly. Her etiquette was perfect, and her voice was clear, soft, and very pleasant to the ear.

"Jiang Zhaoyue of the Yunmiao Immortal Sect pays homage to all the masters."

-----------------------

The author has something to say: Two chapters combined into one.

Master Xuanqi/Jinyang: Is this something I can listen to?
