Qingxuzi said a lot of discouraging things, but Qingyuzi didn't offer him any comfort. In fact, she had no reaction whatsoever to this "senior brother" she had never met before.

He Yunxiao stood beside Qing Yuzi, not daring to utter a sound. Not out of fear, but because he couldn't make a sound. Whether it was a whisper or a transmission of sound through internal energy, it wouldn't escape Qing Yuzi's ears.

If he didn't speak up, Master Bai still had some judgment; if he did, he would be completely finished.

He Yunxiao secretly calculated the years Qing Yuzi and her senior brother had cultivated. Qing Xuzi was a Grandmaster of seventy-five, and now he was one hundred and twenty, having held the Grandmaster position for a full forty-five years! Meanwhile, Master Bai was only thirty-five years old this year, and she had entered the Grandmaster position at twenty-nine, which was only six years at most.

With such a disparity in cultivation time, it's no wonder that Master Bai was injured by her senior brother last time.

etc!

He Yunxiao suddenly remembered that Qingxuzi had just introduced himself, and it didn't seem like this was their second meeting, but rather their first. Then who was it that injured Daoist Bai before?

"Senior brother has violated the sect rules. Please return with Qingyuzi," Qingyuzi said quietly.

Qingxuzi stroked his long beard. "Junior sister, I have already left the Taixu Sect and established my own Baiyu Temple. I am no longer a member of the Taixu Sect."

“Grandmasters do not concern themselves with worldly affairs. This principle is not only a rule of the sect, but also a rule of the martial world. If you, senior brother, are still a member of the martial world, you should abide by this principle,” Qingyuzi said.

“Junior sister, although you are exceptionally talented, you are still young and inexperienced. There are countless rules in the martial world, but the biggest rule is always the fist.”

Qing Yuzi politely bowed to Qing Xuzi and said, "Senior Brother, please enlighten me."

“As fellow disciples, I’ll give you three moves.” Qingxuzi stood with his hands behind his back, his long beard fluttering in the wind.

Qingyuzi transmitted his voice to He Yunxiao, saying, "Don't stray too far from my path."

He Yunxiao felt a chill run down his spine and instantly understood what Master Bai meant. He took out the fireworks that Zheng Lei had made and quietly prepared them to be lit at any time.

Perhaps out of contempt for ants, or perhaps out of self-confidence, Qingxuzi didn't take He Yunxiao seriously at all. He only focused on his fellow Grandmaster junior sister, watching how she would make her move.

A contest between grandmasters can be either spectacular or utterly ordinary.

The fight between Chu Chu and Xiao Xiao was a spectacular display of skills, a truly dazzling display. But the current contest between Qing Yuzi and Qing Xuzi is rather ordinary.

Before He Yunxiao could understand what was going on, she heard Qingxuzi say, "The True Meaning of Freedom? Junior Sister, you have two moves left."

Qing Yuzi remained silent, and the two grandmasters fell silent once again.

He Yunxiao was secretly worried for Master Bai. The good news was that, although they thought they had ambushed two Grandmasters, they had only ambushed one. The bad news was that, although they had only ambushed one, this person was Qing Yuzi's senior brother, and it seemed that Qing Yuzi was no match for him.

It doesn't really matter if they can't win, as long as Master Bai can hold out against her senior brother until she reaches Xiao Xiao, and Xiao Xiao can intervene and turn the tide. However, if that happens, the plan to break through the city will probably fall through.

He Yunxiao felt a pang of regret. With a Grandmaster of Yan guarding the city, Luoyue Pass was difficult to breach. Did they really have to use the lives of the Qi soldiers to break through the city? No, they couldn't use human lives; they had to think of another way.

After much deliberation, He Yunxiao could only think of Li Xiangjun. Li Xiangjun had been forced into power and was opposed to the war; seeking her help might be a possibility. He hoped Mengbao's sisters would be reliable.

"Junior sister, that's already two moves."

In the quiet of the night, Qingxuzi spoke slowly.

As a final move, Qing Yuzi no longer intended to remain the "silent Taoist priest," but instead genuinely utilized the characteristics of the "True Meaning of Freedom" technique, connecting with the power of heaven and earth to use that power to strike the thief.

Dark clouds slowly gathered, and the air between heaven and earth was restless, with faint sounds like thunder.

Qingxuzi remained standing with his hands behind his back, looking at Qingyuzi with a smile on his lips.

"In six years, my junior sister's skill has become quite remarkable. Given time, it is entirely possible that she will surpass me."

Qing Yuzi was not good at mockery, and remained silent, simply circulating his inner energy. (www.cascoo.net)

He Yunxiao glanced at Master Bai, then turned to the old man Qingxuzi and said, "What's so special about this? My master was at least twice as powerful as he is now in his prime. If my master hadn't been injured and his strength hadn't been less than half, he wouldn't have needed three moves. He could have finished you off in one move."

Qingxuzi still had a smile on his lips, clearly not believing He Yunxiao's words.

He Yunxiao's skill in boasting is in no way inferior to his master's talent in martial arts.

"Old man, don't disbelieve me. Think about it. If my master really couldn't beat you, why would the Taixu Sect send her here? Of course, they would only send my master to capture you if they were certain of victory. Think about it carefully, isn't that right?"

The smile on Qingxuzi's lips slowly faded, and his gaze toward Master Bai became more serious than ever before.

A moment later, Qingxuzi sighed, "Your skill is profound, but its power is insufficient. Junior sister, are you really injured?"

Qing Yuzi slowly spoke: "Senior brother, lightning is coming."

Qingxuzi looked solemnly at the sky, where thunder roared for thousands of miles, and white lightning bolts darted like dragons among the dark clouds. Suddenly, something exceptionally bright fell from the sky, heading straight for the south gate of Luoyue Pass, like a celestial being unleashing its power.

As He Yunxiao watched the bright object in the sky slowly grow larger, he suddenly exclaimed, "Holy crap! Ball lightning!"

A well-known science fiction writer exclaimed that he was an expert.

Upon hearing He Yunxiao's exclamation, Qing Yuzi said, "What a wonderful name."

A spherical bolt of lightning fell from the sky, heading straight for Qingxuzi. Qingxuzi abandoned his concentration and stared intently at the bright, spherical object.

His sleeves billowed in the wind, ready to strike.

However, he had a three-move agreement with Qing Yuzi, and this move should be given to him by Qing Yuzi.

He Yunxiao stared intently at the ball of lightning, watching it hurtle straight toward Qingxuzi. Just as it was about to collide with him, to He Yunxiao's surprise, the ball turned ninety degrees and, in a flash, arrived at the city gate of Luoyue Pass.

boom!

A sudden explosion!

Qing Yuzi instantly grabbed He Yunxiao's arm and said, "Let's go."

The two instantly used their superhuman agility to escape at lightning speed.

He Yunxiao hurriedly lit the fireworks he had prepared and threw them out. The city gate of Luoyue Pass was blown away and disappeared. The city gate with the cracked city wall immediately became lively.

As He Yunxiao ran, he praised Qing Yuzi, "Sister Bai, you're amazing! I never expected you to launch a sneak attack!"

Qing Yuzi said irritably, "Who said that stupid woman?"

Now that the matter was settled, He Yunxiao quickly apologized and admitted his mistake, saying, "My bad, my bad, I was blind and underestimated you, Daoist Master."

Before the two could exchange more than a few words of flirting, Qingxuzi, also dressed in white robes, suddenly appeared above them.
