Faced with the attacks from the Taoist priests, Chen Xiu stood still and did not move.
He even deliberately closed his eyes, as if waiting for the Taoist priests' judgment!
His heroic act of facing death softened Zi Qingyue's heart. She stood in front of Chen Xiu with her arms outstretched and said in a deep voice, "Stop it, all of you!"
"Sect Leader!"
Seeing Zi Qingyue blocking their way, the Taoist priests forcibly withdrew the lightning they were about to unleash.
Upon seeing this, Chen Xiu's lips curled into a smile.
With the defensive power of his Immortal Emperor Longevity Body, these stinking Taoists couldn't cause him any harm at all.
The only one who could possibly hurt him with lightning was probably the purple-robed celestial master, Zi Qingyue.
"Sect Leader?"
The Taoist priests looked at Zi Qingyue with puzzled expressions and asked curiously, "Why is the sect leader protecting this boy? He just took you hostage!"
"Kidnapping?"
Zi Qingyue frowned slightly and asked, "Who said I was kidnapped by Ashu? He brought me here just to prove one thing: you've misunderstood Ashu."
"Huh? A misunderstanding?"
"Wasn't the sect leader taken hostage?"
"Then what brings you here?"
After the Taoist priests learned that their leader had not been taken hostage, all their eyes turned to Chen Xiu, wondering what this young man was up to now.
"Ahem...it's like this..."
Chen Xiu coughed twice, then put his hands behind his back, looking righteous and awe-inspiring, and said, "Master Zhang Jiuying once told me that he had always suspected that the Celestial Master's Seal was left in the Celestial Master's Mansion! In addition to the Celestial Master's Seal, the Celestial Master's Male and Female Demon-Slaying Swords were also left in the Celestial Master's Mansion!"
"What?"
"What did you say?"
"Celestial Master's Seal!!"
"And there are also the Male and Female Demon-Slaying Swords!?"
"These things...are all in the Celestial Master's Mansion?"
The Taoist priests were stunned upon hearing this.
Both of these weapons belonged to the founder of the sect. The Celestial Master Seal is a magical artifact made from lightning-struck wood, which ghosts deeply fear. It is the most powerful artifact for exorcising ghosts and suppressing evil.
The origin of the male and female demon-slaying swords is even more exaggerated. Legend has it that Zhang Tianshi became a disciple of Laozi, so Laozi gave Zhang Tianshi the male and female demon-slaying swords.
Are these two magical treasures really inside the Celestial Master's Mansion?
The Taoist priests were initially shocked, but quickly expressed their disbelief: "Boy, don't lie! We've been searching for these two magical treasures for over a hundred years without finding a single clue. If they were really in the Celestial Master's Mansion, wouldn't we know?"
"That's right, that's right! Don't spout nonsense, you brat!"
"How dare you joke about the magic weapon of our sect's founder?"
"Quickly kowtow to the patriarch and admit your mistake!"
Soon, the Taoist priests began to criticize Chen Xiu.
"Hehehe."
Chen Xiu smiled faintly, not taking the Taoists' words to heart at all. He looked at the several-meter-tall statue of Zhang Tianshi and said, "As long as Senior Sister believes in me, that's enough!"
These words were spoken neither too loudly nor too softly, just enough for Zi Qingyue to hear clearly.
“Ashu…”
Although Zi Qingyue was the sect leader, she had never left Longhu Mountain and had no idea how treacherous people could be.
She's just feeling touched!
This junior brother, whom she had never met before, was willing to become an enemy of all the Taoists in the Celestial Master's Mansion in order to fulfill his master's last wish and to help his senior sister become stronger!
At this moment, Zi Qingyue's beautiful eyes were filled with tears, and all she could see was Chen Xiu's back.
Chen Xiu stared at the statue, then strode over to it.
Seeing this, the Taoist priests all assumed that Chen Xiu was going to kowtow to the patriarch and admit his mistake.
As a result, after Chen Xiu walked to the statue, he did not kneel down, but instead hugged one end of the statue with both hands.
"Aaaaaah!"
Chen Xiu pretended to be struggling and began to turn the statue.
Click-clack—
The statue, weighing tens of thousands of kilograms, made a series of "crackling" sounds under Chen Xiu's immense strength.
Then, the statue began to slowly rotate.
Seeing this, the Taoist priests felt their scalps tingle and wondered what this kid was up to.
The older Taoist priests couldn't help but clutch their hearts!
"Kid, what do you want to do?"
"You brat! Release the statue of our patriarch at once!"
"What do you want to do!"
The Taoist priests shouted and were about to swarm forward again!
"stop!"
Zi Qingyue stood in front of the Taoist priests again. She turned her head and glanced at Chen Xiu, who was "laboriously" turning the statue, and said in a deep voice, "Junior Brother just wants to fulfill Master's last wish! I believe in Master, and I believe in Junior Brother! Please believe in Qingyue this once... If A-Xiu really damages the statue of the Ancestral Master, Qingyue is willing to be punished along with him!"
She did not use her identity as the head of the Celestial Master's Mansion when she said this.
Instead, he used the identity of Zhang Jiuying's disciple.
That is, Chen Xiu's senior sister!
"this……"
Upon hearing Zi Qingyue's words, the Taoist priests looked at each other, unsure of what to do.
Chen Xiu continued acting, making "Ahhhhh!" sounds while his eyes gleamed with a sly smile.
The current senior sister is so naive and easily fooled!
Actually, if Chen Xiu had directly and forcibly twisted the statue, and then helped his senior sister find the Celestial Master's Seal, the Male and Female Evil-Slaying Swords, and other magical treasures...
The eldest sister and all the Taoist priests of the Celestial Master's Mansion will be extremely grateful to him!
Then Chen Xiu suggested that the eldest sister protect Aunt Lan and the others, and the eldest sister wouldn't refuse!
Because they owed Chen Xiu a debt of gratitude.
Kindness can be repaid...
