"stop!"
"We can't go any further!"
"Master Ye Feng, if you continue to push your luck, don't blame us for being rude!"
…
Jiang Deng, Ye Su and others had just reached the top of Yaoguang Peak when they were surrounded by a group of talisman practitioners.
"Jiang Deng, shall we continue fighting?" Ye Su asked, rubbing his hands together, as if he had not fought enough.
"Let me think..."
Jiang Deng glanced at the people in front of him, but did not see Shi Chen among them.
These people are all ordinary disciples, and the strongest one is only at the Nascent Soul stage, which is not very strong. Although they are few in number, they have no problem defeating these people.
But... it's not a solution to keep fighting like this.
Jiang Deng looked at Ye Su who was standing beside him. "Where is the Peak Master? Can you invite him out?"
"good."
Ye Su nodded and simply shouted loudly: "Xue Chonghao! Come out!"
The next moment, a serious male voice sounded.
"Master Ye, are you trying to bully me because there's no one at Yaoguang Peak?"
As the voice sounded, a skinny old man dressed in Confucian scholar's clothes came from the distant horizon.
"Great, the Master is here!"
"With Master Xue Feng in charge, we don't have to be afraid of that crazy woman Ye Su!"
"Master, please help us get justice!"
Seeing the old man appear, the people of Yaoguang Peak were suddenly excited. They spontaneously opened up a large open space to make way for the old man.
The old man landed in the open space, stroking his gray beard, and looked at Ye Su across from him with a defiant look on his face, "I wonder why Master Ye Feng has come to visit my Yaoguang Peak?"
Ye Su didn't reply for the moment, because Jiang Deng's voice suddenly rang in her ears, "This old man is quite good at pretending."
Jiang Deng sighed sincerely.
This old man is only at the peak of the Spirit Transformation Realm, and his strength isn't that great, but how could he be so pretentious?
"cough!"
Ye Su coughed lightly and lowered her voice to introduce Xue Chongwen to Jiang Deng, "He is the grandson of Xue Hanyi, the dean of Wanli Academy. Everyone gives in to this old man for the sake of dean Xue, but he thinks he is so powerful. Maybe he is just pretending."
Jiang Deng sneered, "Tsk, Dean Xue's grandson is nothing in my eyes, let alone he's not my biological grandson."
Thinking back to her previous life, when she was at the peak of her powers, Xue Hanyi was still a young junior. He, her cousin, was probably not even born yet and was indeed not worthy of her attention.
Xue Chongwen heard all of Jiang Deng's words, and his face turned ugly.
"Ye Su!"
Xue Chongwen's voice rose a few notches, and with his slightly thin cheekbones, he sounded a bit harsh. "If you're making trouble out of nothing, don't blame me. I'll go to Master Ye and ask you to answer for your crime! I want to ask how Master Ye disciplines his younger generation!"
Facing Xue Chongwen's threats, Ye Su remained unfazed. Instead, she said with a smile, "How can you say I'm looking for trouble? Of course there's trouble. Our friend was bullied in Yaoguang Peak, which you manage, so we came to her house to seek justice. If you have indeed been wronged in this matter, I, Ye Su, will voluntarily accept the punishment!"
"...Who are your friends?"
Xue Chongwen adhered to the principle that less trouble is worse than more, and thought that it would be better if this difficulty could be resolved without bloodshed, so he asked directly.
"It's a talisman cultivator named Shi Chen."
Jiang Deng replied, "Hand her over. As long as we see that she is indeed alright, we won't stay in your Yaoguang Peak for a moment longer. We will take her away immediately."
"What? Your friend is Shi Chen?"
Xue Chongwen's face froze.
Shi Chen, he was naturally familiar with him.
Naturally, a genius like Shi Chen, who had an outstanding talent in making talismans, was accepted as his disciple.
Although Shi Chen was a woman, her talent in talismans even made his master jealous. Therefore, he deliberately did not teach Shi Chen how to draw attack talismans, hoping to reduce her prestige and make Shi Chen as mediocre as possible.
But... Shi Chen is still so outstanding that it's dazzling.
Especially since Shi Chen was originally from the Seven Star Villa and had no sense of belonging to the Wanli Academy, he was never liked by him.
Later, when he learned that his son Xue Hong had a crush on Shi Chen, he became even more dissatisfied with Shi Chen.
It was precisely because of this that Shi Chen disappeared while on a mission a few years ago and never returned, so he didn't bother looking for him.
However, what he didn't expect was that Shi Chen suddenly came back last month...
"Master Xue Feng, what's wrong?"
Noticing Xue Chongwen's unusual behavior, Jiang Deng couldn't help but have a bad feeling in her heart. She narrowed her eyes and asked, "Is there something wrong with you?"
"No, no," Xue Chongwen's expression returned to normal. "It's just that because of her private life a few days ago, the reputation of our Yaoguang Peak was also damaged. Therefore, I punished her to face the wall and reflect on her mistakes for a month. Since you have something urgent to find her, I will reluctantly make an exception and send someone to bring her here."
"He Jiu, come here."
A male cultivator in his early twenties stepped out from the crowd and bowed, "Master? What can I do for you?"
Xue Chongwen ordered, "Go to the Cliff of Repentance and call your Senior Sister Shichen."
"Well……"
He Jiu's face froze, and he hesitated, "Master, but..."
"But what? Hurry up and go!"
“Yes, yes!”
Seeing that Xue Chongwen was angry, He Jiu didn't dare to say anything and immediately turned around and ran towards the Cliff of Repentance.
Looking at He Jiu's departing back, Jiang Deng felt more and more uneasy.
Why does it feel like there's something fishy going on?
What happened to Shi Chen?
Thinking of this, Jiang Deng couldn't wait any longer, so he whispered to Ye Su, "Ye Su, you drag this old man away first, I'll follow and take a look."
"good."
Ye Su agreed immediately and walked in front of Jiang Deng to cover her body.
Xue Chongwen, who was only focused on seeing He Jiu, didn't notice Jiang Deng's departure at all...
——
At this time, inside the cave of Siguo Cliff.
Shi Chen sat cross-legged on the ground and meditated.
Apart from this, she could not do anything else because there was a restriction set up by her master Xue Chongwen under her body, which trapped her in this small space and prevented her from moving at all.
laugh--
The formation at the door suddenly opened from the outside.
A young man who looked to be in his twenties and dressed very luxuriously walked in. He looked somewhat like Xue Chongwen and was obviously Xue Chongwen's son, Xue Hong.
"Xue Hong, what are you doing here?"
Shi Chen opened his eyes and looked at Xue Hong warily.
Thinking back, she had gone out on a mission with Xue Hong. The reason why she was captured so easily by the evil cultivator was because of Xue Hong!
At that time, she was fighting with a demon cultivator. Xue Hong pretended to be injured and hid behind her, taking the opportunity to attack her, causing her to be seriously injured and easily captured by the demon cultivator...
