Chapter 392 Returning to Mount Longhu, Lin Luo: Who is Zhang Huyi? Someone is challenging Yi Chengzi.

The Longhu Mountain Majesty Hall, the entire hall is huge, shining with a strange metallic luster, with runes glowing faintly on it, and an ancient and desolate atmosphere blows in the face.

In this majestic hall, Zhang Taichu, the contemporary Heavenly Master of Mount Longhu, sits in the main seat, and below him, four Taoists in purple robes sit on his left and right.

The two Taoists on the left have sage-like demeanor and imposing aura like a mountain, with indifference in their eyes, while the two Taoists sitting high on the right have aura like the sea, with a bit of arrogance on their faces, especially the middle-aged Taoist in purple robe who wears a star-crowned hat with "Five Dipper Stars" embroidered on it.

At this moment, the four of them were all looking at their noses with their eyes and their hearts with their noses, and they remained silent.

Two rows below the purple-robed Taoist priest were a group of masters dressed in red and green Taoist robes. At the moment, this group of people were talking at once and arguing in a mess.

Looking at the noisy sounds in the hall, Zhang Taichu's face showed some fatigue.

Three years ago, the various branches of Mount Longhu were sabotaging, checking and cooperating with each other. Now, ever since the former fellow practitioners of Mount Longhu were led back to the Demon Realm, Mount Longhu is now more lively than before.

It was not easy to balance the previous mess, and now Zhang Taichu felt even more bitter.

If it weren't for the Buddhist sect's constant pressure, he would never have done the thing of bringing back the masters of Longhu Mountain who had once wandered into the demonic realm.

Even if such a decision is made, the two will definitely not be merged.

Unfortunately, the current situation is extremely precarious. If Longhu Mountain wants to protect its ancestral heritage, even if he knows that this is like drinking poison to quench thirst, he has to drink this cup of poison.

"Emperor Qin Yingsi has sent someone to deliver a visiting card and will send an envoy to pay a visit to the mountain. How should we respond?" Zhang Taichu gave a dry cough, interrupting the quarrel of the Taoists below. His eyes looked around and finally stopped on the faces of the four purple-robed Taoists below him.

Today is a world of great strife, unlike the previous peaceful times, so naturally Longhu Mountain has also made corresponding changes. People like Yuan Hong Zhenren and Yuan Shan Zhenren have long since withdrawn from the front stage, and now they can only take care of mundane affairs, and have to obey orders on major matters.

Anyone who can get a seat in the Weiyi Palace can at least be a True Lord of Taoism.

"How should we respond? Haha, the Qin Emperor Ying Si's attempt to sow discord is obvious. In my opinion, we should not have any contact with the envoys and stop them outside the mountain gate."

The middle-aged purple-robed Taoist sitting on the right with a defiant look on his face opened his eyes and was the first to speak. He spoke aloud with impatience on his face.

"Brother Lingyue, what you said is wrong. Qin Emperor Ying Si was a great leader with amazing cultivation. It is inappropriate for us to offend him like this."

"Furthermore, the visiting card said that they heard that Longhu Mountain is a gathering place of many stars and is the leader of the Taoist sect in Central Continent, so they specially sent people to Longhu Mountain to exchange ideas. We directly rejected them. Isn't it admitting that we don't even have the courage to compete with the talented cultivators of the Great Qin Empire?"

"My Taizhenzi believes that the envoy sent by Emperor Qin Ying Si should not only be treated with courtesy, but also with sincerity."

"Didn't Ying Si say in his visiting card that he brought many ancient books from the Great Qin Dynasty and wanted to trade with Longhu Mountain to exchange some of the treasures so that we can learn the great way together? As long as Ying Si can bring out something valuable enough, apart from the few methods that guard Longhu Mountain, everything else can be discussed!"

"Then Envoy Lin Luo represents the Emperor Qin. I think it would be best if the Heavenly Master personally came to greet him, so that it would be fair."

A silver-haired Taoist on the left took a sip of the spiritual tea in front of him, then smiled and expressed a different opinion.

"Brother Tai Zhenzi, why do you want to boost others' morale and destroy your own prestige? If we receive this delegation, how will other forces in Central Continent view Longhu Mountain? It would be even more ridiculous for the Heavenly Master to welcome us!"

"Junior Brother Zhang Lingyue, you have lived in the Demon Realm for a long time, and you have been killing people all the time. Your actions are too extreme. When did I ever say that I would boost others' morale? We should fight when we should fight, and talk when we should talk. After all, Dongzhou is powerful. This move by Senior Brother is also to leave a way for future negotiations."

"You are too reckless to insist on doing this, brother. It is better to be more mature and prudent as my brother said."

"The Qin Dynasty has suppressed the whole world but has not destroyed all the sects in the country. If that's the case, why should we keep him at a distance? Ying Si wants to be the emperor, and we need to preserve the Longhu Mountain tradition and try our best to protect our foundation. The best strategy is to fight and negotiate at the same time."

"you….."

Seeing the two factions quarreling over a disagreement, which eventually developed into a confrontation between the two groups, Heavenly Master Zhang Taichu couldn't help but feel more and more bitter, so he had to step out to mediate.

The final solution is:

Receive, but not completely receive. If received, Tai Zhenzi, Zhang Lingyue and others can come forward to greet them.

Exchange, but not a complete exchange. If exchanged, just exchange some trivial classics.

After the two factions finally reached an agreement, another issue was brought to the forefront.

"This time, the Great Qin is here in the name of exchange and learning. Whether it's war or peace, we will send our elite disciples to fight. If we can win a big victory... at worst we have to draw, and we must not lose a big defeat. Let the Great Qin see the strength of our Longhu Mountain, so that we can have more bargaining chips in the future."

"It's fine if the disciples fight each other, but I heard that one of the people in this delegation is called Taoist Hidden Dragon. He is the newly promoted True Lord Breaking Limit in Dongzhou. Whether it's true or not, the Buddhist sect is keeping silent, but we can be sure that the Buddhist sect must have suffered a great loss in Dongzhou."

"Ying Si specially sent this person to Longhu Mountain to show off Dongzhou's heritage. As for this person, who among us has ever fought with the world-famous Taoist Master Yinlong?"

"If we can defeat this man head-on, I think Qin Emperor Ying Si will be more cautious about our Longhu Mountain. The benefits of this are self-evident."

"But there is only one thing, whether this person has truly broken the limit or not, we have no idea..."

After the general framework was set, with the intelligence about the most important person in the diplomatic team placed in everyone's hands, Yi Chen became the center of discussion in the Majestic Hall.

After all, even though the fellow practitioners from Mount Longhu were brought back from the Demon Realm to supplement the situation, which alleviated the lack of young talents in Mount Longhu, the top leaders of Mount Longhu were still worried when facing the young masters from all aspects of Daqin.

As for how to make up for it, the problem naturally fell on the shoulders of Chunyang Yichengzi, who was now famous all over the world and had gossip flying everywhere.

Amidst the discussions among the crowd, a sneering voice was heard from the right side of the hall.

"Haha, since I came back, I have heard the name of the world-shaking Chunyang so many times that my ears are almost callused. This person is so arrogant."

"I thought that all of you fellow disciples were tricked by the thousand-year-old emperor Ying Si. It is true that Buddhism suffered a great loss in Dongzhou, but there must be something fishy. The person who severely injured the Buddhist master must not be Yi Chengzi alone, but all the credit was placed on Yi Chengzi alone."

"It is obvious that the Great Qin of Dongzhou is intentionally creating momentum and wants to use this opportunity to put pressure on Zhongzhou. The Buddhist sect feels that this matter is not glorious and they have suffered a great loss, so they keep silent and acquiesce to this matter."

"If this person comes, we will ask our uncle to subdue him, so what? If Dongzhou sends anyone, we will have to pay for it. Even if we win a big victory, it will be a big defeat!"

At this moment, Zhang Lingyue suddenly stood up and began to talk to the people in the hall, with a look of wisdom. "Therefore, I think this so-called world-shaking pure Yang may have good cultivation, but this person must not have broken the limit."

"Everything is the plot of Emperor Qin Yingsi. Those rumors are just to create momentum, to undermine the morale of the cultivators in our Central Continent and to intimidate us."

"Haha, there are many unskilled people in this world. I have actually investigated this person. I once heard my disciple Zhang Longyi say that this person was only slightly better than him three years ago. Even though this person is a powerful cultivator who has been re-cultivated, he has been hyped up to be a True Lord who has broken through the limits in such a short period of time. It is really ridiculous."

"What's even more ridiculous is that there are still people who firmly believe in this. It's absolutely ridiculous and the biggest absurdity in the world!"

"I have fought my way through the demon realm and killed many famous demon generals. I have even killed demon commanders with raging demon flames. So I am not bragging about my own practice. I have had countless opportunities and amazing spirituality, but I still practiced hard for 1,500 years before I was able to squeeze half of my body into the door of True Lord Poxian."

"So, is he, Yichengzi, worthy? If it is so easy to achieve the status of True Lord Poxian, doesn't it mean that I have cultivated to the level of a pig or a dog for the past 1,500 years?"

Zhang Lingyue's words were powerful and well-reasoned, and the cultivators in the hall nodded frequently.

Reasonable!

"Of course, a person's reputation is like a tree's shadow. After all, this person is favored by the Qin Emperor Ying Si, so he must be quite capable. To be on the safe side, why don't I choose a day to challenge Yi Chengzi and expose his true face."

"It will not only boost the morale of Longhu Mountain, dampen the edge of Dongzhou, boost the confidence of Zhongzhou cultivators, but also attract more talented people to join Longhu Mountain.

In this way, defeating this man will be of great benefit to Senior Brother Tai Zhenzi, both in terms of the bargaining chips he wants to obtain and in terms of improving our status in the Central Continent Monks Alliance."

"Junior brother Lingyue, what you said makes sense. I have always thought that you are only good at fighting and killing, and not good at strategizing. But today, I have a new respect for you."

"Tianshi, this time my Taizhenzi thinks that what Junior Brother Zhang Lingyue said is reasonable. Junior Brother Zhang's cultivation is unfathomable, and he is also the youngest among us. It is most appropriate for him to take action."

Tai Zhenzi gave Zhang Lingyue a rare look of admiration. He stood up and bowed to the Heavenly Master who was sitting in the main seat.

All the practitioners in the hall praised it.

What Yi Chen didn't know was that since Longhu Mountain had accepted the fellow practitioners from the Demon Realm, this was the first time that the local faction and the returnee faction reached a consensus on a major issue, and the atmosphere was unprecedentedly harmonious.

Zhang Taichu looked at the harmonious scene and the bitterness in his heart couldn't help but fade away a little. A smile appeared on his old face. He couldn't help but think to himself, how great it would be if Longhu Mountain could always be so united.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"Hey, if the eldest brother was still in Longhu Mountain, I would be relieved!"

Zhang Taichu sighed in his heart, but he still kept a smile on his face and said, "Since everyone has no objection, this matter is settled!"

"We will follow the Heavenly Master's orders!" All the cultivators stood up and saluted, then filed out.

…. … .Yichengzi, Yichengzi, the world-fascinating Chunyang Yichengzi once again visited Zhengyang City in Jiangbei Province.

Seven days later, a majestic figure pushed aside the curtains, walked out of the carriage, and stood outside a majestic city. A team of hundreds of monks also stopped where the Taoist stopped.

Looking at the majestic city in front of him, the three big words "Zhengyang City" that once shocked Yi Chen now seem ordinary to him.

Today, Zhengyang City is still prosperous, but the Taoist priests who used to wear the ten-tael-silver Taoist robes are no longer the timid and cautious minions they once were.

Looking back to the past, Yichengzi was still afraid of losing face by going to Mount Longhu, and he cried out in pain because he bought a Taoist robe for five hundred taels of silver.

Now he is standing in front of Zhengyang City again. If old friends meet him, I wonder if they can still see how much of him is the same as before.

A Taoist robe worth five hundred taels? Pah, even dogs wouldn't wear it. What Yi Chengzi is wearing now is the world-famous Qilin Holy Armor. This is a real good thing~ "Hey, Yi Chengzi, you are too strong. Those who were left behind by you, although they tried their best to catch up, slowly couldn't even see your back."

"Others need two and a half years to be trainees, but you rely entirely on your own efforts. You started with a Tyrant Chicken and a small bowl, but achieved the status of Limit Breaking Master in about the same amount of time."

"Too great, the pure Yang that shocks the world!"

"Longhu Mountain is just in the distance. Master Yi, do you want to go into Zhengyang City to take a rest and reminisce about the past?"

Just when Yi Chen was reminiscing about the past, a clear and cold voice like the sound of flowing water in the mountains was heard, and a pair of stunningly beautiful legs in purple stockings came into Yi Chen's sight. It turned out to be Lin Luo who came to ask after seeing Yi Chen stop.

When there are many people around, Fellow Daoist Lin Luo is usually serious, unlike when the two of them are drinking alone at night, when she always smiles. Yi Chen has long been accustomed to this.

"It doesn't matter. Business is more important. Let's go to Longhu Mountain first."

"I think Fellow Daoist Lin Luo is a little tired after the journey." Yi Chen smiled gently.

"I did feel a little tired along the way, but fortunately with Master Yi in charge, the Central Continent Buddhist Sect and other forces did not make any unusual moves, and I arrived here without any danger, which is not bad."

The purple-haired girl stretched lazily in the sun, revealing her beautiful curves. Her waist was slender and her pair of beautiful legs looked even more breathtaking.

"Haha, that's because they've been beaten before, and they know my methods. They know that pain naturally increases their wisdom, and they won't dare to provoke me again." Yi Chen laughed loudly, his eyes pointed at the towering master in the distance.

"Longhu Mountain, I am here."

"Are you ready?"

Yi Chen took a look at the black evil bone in the storage ring and couldn't help but feel happy.

He will collect some interest first. I think with the good fortune of Longhu Mountain, he will be able to withstand it. When his cultivation becomes stronger in the future, he can slowly deal with Zhang Long and others.

Just relying on this evil bone, it is possible to blow up the huge Longhu Mountain, which has been the leader of the Taoist sect in Zhongzhou for more than ten thousand years. No matter how bold Yi Chen is, he would not dare to imagine such a thing.

They ran hurriedly all the way, and soon, Yi Chen and others stood outside the gate of Longhushan Mansion.

The gate of the mansion stands by the river, dozens of feet high, with huge wooden pillars supporting the sky. It has six doors with three openings. A vertical plaque with the words "Tianshi Mansion" is hung on the central gate, shining with dazzling golden light.

There is a big drum on the east side, and two stone archways with the words "Daozun" and "Degui" between the east and west walls in front of the gate.

At this moment, Tai Zhenzi and Zhang Lingyue, who had already received the news, had been waiting here for a long time with a group of elite disciples.

Two of his old friends, Zhang Longyi and Zhang Huyi, were among the true disciples.

"Daoyou Lin Luo has come from afar, and I am sorry for not welcoming you in person. Why don't you disciples come out to pay your respects?" Tai Zhenzi bowed to Yi Chen and the others.

Lin Luoqiong frowned and glanced at all the disciples of Mount Longhu. "In my spare time, I heard Taoist Master Yi say that there is a proud person in Mount Longhu. He is not inferior to him in talent and comprehension. He will become a great man in the future. I wonder who this person is? Please come out and meet him."

"Ah?" Zhang Hu, who was suddenly called out, was confused and looked at Yi Chen who was standing side by side with Lin Luo.

Yi Chen opened his mouth, and finally slowly turned his gaze to the sky.

Don’t ask me, I didn’t know that Fellow Daoist Lin Luo would suddenly do this, Brother Hu Yi.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Zhang Huyi stepped forward reluctantly.

"Not bad, it's really a rough diamond." Lin Luo nodded with some disappointment.

Although this person is a talented and beautiful woman, it is true that hearing about him is not as good as meeting him in person, which made her a little disappointed. However, this person must have something extraordinary to be praised so highly by Taoist Master Yi. It may be that Lin Luo's cultivation is not high enough to discover it.
