When it came to the issue of settlement, Chu Tiankuang and Jiang Tingbai, two great sword masters who had few rivals in the world, showed the same cautious expression.

The two of them looked at each other calmly, and then Chu Tiankuang patted his chest proudly -

"I have a lot of experience in how to wash dishes quickly, efficiently and economically..."

This was not because Chu Tiankuo had eaten and free meals, but because he had been punished by his master to work in the canteen.

Jiang Tingbai: "..."

He only has some household experience in washing dishes.

The main thing is that in the past few years, Jiang Tingbai was happy to abide by the time rules most of the time and never ate for free.

After a light cough, Jiang Tingbai suggested, "Let's go out and ask first."

The result of asking was... the junior brothers and sisters did not settle the bill for the food and drinks before retreating.

Jiang Tingbai: "..."

Chu Tiankuo: “…”

The shop owner had obviously seen a lot of the world. He stroked his beard and said slowly:

"Both girls wanted to settle the bill and were fighting over it. In the end, they almost came to blows, but neither of them was able to win..."

Yes, the scene of people scrambling to pay the bill in the world of immortals is no different from the scene of mortals fighting to pay the bill.

Everyone is tearing in the same way, and the tearing is even more varied - you are a formation cultivator, summoning a light circle on the spot to entangle the opponent's feet; I am a medical cultivator, and I will numb half of your body with a needle.

So, in the end, neither Yan Luoyue nor Tao Tao won the right to buy the order.

Chu Tiankuo asked shamelessly: "Did they discuss what to do in the end?"

The shop owner looked at them and said with a smile, "The two girls said that they had drunk enough wine and were going to have a fight. Why don't we see the result of the fight? Whoever wins will buy the order."

Jiang Tingbai: "..."

Chu Tiankuo: “…”

To be honest, after hearing this solution, I actually felt like losing...

"Haha, I was just joking." The shop owner waved his hands.

"The two girls have agreed to come over tomorrow morning to settle the bill. If you two want to fight, please don't do it in my little building. As for the rest, please come and go as you please."

The shop owner was polite, so Jiang Tingbai naturally had to be more polite.

He took off his scabbard and placed it on the counter, saying with a smile, "Boss, someone will come to settle the bill tomorrow morning. This scabbard will be used as collateral for the time being."

Chu Tiankuo handled it in the same way.

Only after watching the two swordsmen walk away with their swords in hand did the waiter who was cleaning the tables weakly ask for advice.

"Boss, they ordered so many delicious dishes... You let them go just by betting two scabbards?"

The shopkeeper stroked his beard slowly and narrowed his eyes slightly: "What do you know? They are sword cultivators!"

A swordsman's sword is like his wife, and his scabbard is like his wife's clothes.

How could any swordsman with any self-respect allow his wife to parade naked in public for a long time?

…

In the middle of the night, in the wilderness, on a deserted hillside, a bright light like lightning suddenly appeared.

Even before this ray of light appeared, the overflowing sword energy had already driven away the sleeping birds and beasts within a radius of dozens of miles.

Even hibernating insects were suddenly awakened and crawled out of the ground one after another, moving away from their original nests in groups, just like the abnormal behavior before a big earthquake.

Jiang Tingbai and Chu Tiankuo were on the left and right respectively.

The grass under the feet of the two people was trampled into a full circle during the fight just now.

The semicircle on Jiang Tingbai's side was influenced by his sword intent of "Spring of All Things" and was full of vitality. Even the grass and trees were one to several inches taller than the surrounding plants.

The semicircle on Chu Tiankuo's side was tainted by his murderous sword intent of "taking over the whole country". Not only was there no grass growing, but even the land had sunk a full foot.

The two sword masters looked at each other and smiled at the same time.

Jiang Tingbai put away his sword with a sword flower and took the lead in performing a sword salute: "This battle reminds me of eighty years ago... I lost to Brother Chu by one move back then. As for this one, it can probably be considered a draw."

Chu Tiankuo laughed and jumped out of the sinkhole he had created.

"I've said it before, eighty years ago, I only narrowly defeated Brother Jiang!"

The night breeze blows in my face, and the slight drunkenness also reveals a kind of leisurely comfort.

Chu Tiankuo staggered a few steps, found a big tree and sat down leaning against the roots, then took out a few bottles of good wine and a white jade cup from his storage bag.

If Yan Luoyue or Wu Manshuang were present, they would be able to see that the white jade cup was the one that Chu Tiankuo had used to drink wine in front of them.

Jiang Tingbai thought about it, sat down where he was, and then took out... a bamboo cup from his storage bag.

In comparison, this small bamboo cup is not too shabby.

After all, Jiang Tingbai even carefully made a cup holder for his bamboo cup.

Chu Tiankuo poured seven-tenths of the wine into each of their glasses.

He picked up the wine glass and first enjoyed a sip of the spicy and mellow wine, then slowly said:

"Brother Jiang, your junior fellow apprentice...how long has he been your disciple?"

Jiang Tingbai initially thought that Chu Tiankuo was going to say something that would start a war, such as "Your junior brother is pretty good, but unfortunately he is a level worse than my junior brother."

Unexpectedly, after this question, he was slightly stunned and answered truthfully: "Two years."

The first year was still at the Qianlian Conference, Wu Manshuang had always followed her master. Jiang Tingbai first met Wu Manshuang a year ago.

In the year after returning to Guiyuan Sect, Wu Manshuang spent another nine months participating in Dharma transmission and exchanges.

Although Jiang Tingbai treated him and Yan Luoyue equally, the relationship between them was still not as familiar as that with Yan Luoyue.

Chu Tiankuo narrowed his eyes: "I see. Brother Jiang, have you ever observed the temperament of your junior brother?"

Jiang Tingbai immediately put down his cup and sat up straight: "Brother Chu, if you have anything to say, just say it."

Chu Tiankuo shook his head, but did not continue talking. Instead, he changed the subject and started comparing various swords.

"I learned swordplay when I was young. I have wielded hundreds of swords of all kinds... broad-blade sword, wrist-breaking sword, willow-leaf sword, mountain-breaking sword, dragon spring sword, iron-breaking sword..."

"Among them, the broad-blade sword is convenient for fighting in melee combat, the wrist-breaking sword needs to be carried close to the body, the willow-leaf sword is light and delicate, and is mostly used by women, and the mountain-breaking sword is extremely heavy, and requires the courage to open up mountains..."

Chu Tiankuo drank the white jade cup in one gulp, put it down, and said sternly:

"But there is a kind of sword that I never pick up. If I pick it up, I can only use it once in my life. Brother Jiang, do you know what kind of sword this is?"

"——I'm talking about an assassin's sword that is as thin as a cicada's wing and as fine as a hair. It is lighter than snowflakes and faster than the wind in your hand."

Jiang Tingbai seemed to understand something and said slowly, "Because it is a sword that can hit the target with one strike and never return."

Because it is thin enough, it is light enough; and because it is sharp enough, it is fast enough.

But anything that is too thin will not last long.

Such a sword may only be swung once in a lifetime, and may only hit once in a lifetime. Then, the next moment after it succeeds, it will break into several pieces, bursting into pieces of cold iron, and the fragments will sink deep into the target's chest.

Chu Tiankuo shook his head: "Your junior brother...he has some similar qualities."

After learning about Wu Manshuang's peculiarity from Yan Luoyue, Chu Tiankuo finally understood why the first thing Wu Manshuang did after being captured was to poke her arm through with a candlestick.

Chu Tiankuo still couldn't help but frown when he thought of the sudden stabbing from Wu Manshuang.

The action was so skillful, natural, and thoughtless.

When people injure themselves, they always subconsciously reduce the force, but Wu Manyhuang's stabbing was clean and crisp, without even the slightest hesitation.

It would be fine if he was like Chu Tiankuo in the past, a stranger with a heavy grudge and covered in snow.

But Wu Man Shuang is so young, how could she be so ignorant of self-respect?

After listening to this description, Jiang Tingbai nodded thoughtfully: "I understand."

Chu Tiankuang poured himself another full glass and said slowly:

"Everything in this world, as long as it is alive and exists, is living towards death."

"Only the frost-filled stone and the crow-crying fire are in contrast. The latter holds the purest Yang life, while the former holds the purest Yin death, so it dies towards life."

"But people are not knives, swords, or frost-covered stones. We cannot go deeper and deeper into thin air as we grow older. Since Wu Xiaoyou is your junior fellow apprentice, Brother Jiang should pay more attention to him."

Jiang Tingbai used a little more force in his hand holding the bamboo cup, and the straw cup sleeve took on an elliptical shape.

He had never seen how Wu Manshuang behaved in adverse circumstances, so he had no idea that his usually smart and studious junior fellow apprentice would have such an initial reaction when in danger.

"I understand. I will discuss it with Master...Junior Sister."

Jiang Tingbai originally wanted to say "discuss it with Master".

But he changed his mind and thought that Master always advocated freedom and free development of personality, so he was afraid that he would not be able to discuss anything with Master on this matter.

So I should discuss it with my junior sister.

Since she became a junior sister and joined the Wujia Kegui Peak, although she was naughty and mischievous, she was ultimately a clear-headed girl who could discuss serious matters with others.

Nodding, Jiang Tingbai repeated solemnly: "Thank you, Brother Chu, I already know."

…

The sword competition has not yet ended.

Such a grand gathering of various forces is a great opportunity to reveal the truth of that year.

Therefore, Yan Luoyue and his group gathered into a team and set off in a hurry the next day.

They drove the big flying boat that Yan Luoyue had tricked out of Hongtong Palace in the past and flew towards Guiyuan Sect.

Along the way, the bow of the flying boat broke through the sea of ​​clouds, just like the horn of an icebreaker breaking through an iceberg. Coupled with the new paint that Yan Luoyue put on the flying boat, I wonder how many envious eyes it attracted.

Chu Tiankuo flew outside the flying boat with his sword for a while, and then flipped back into the flying boat to enjoy the feeling of standing on the deck and bathing in the cool breeze.

As soon as he saw Yan Luoyue, Chu Tiankuo couldn't hold back any longer and started laughing with his shoulders shrugged.

He asked, "Junior Sister Yan, did you paint the ship?"

Yan Luoyue nodded as a matter of course.

Chu Tiankuo laughed and said, "Why do you want to... paint the flying boat into a crispy flying chicken leg?"

To be honest, this modified paint job really suits his taste!

Yan Luoyue smiled slyly.

She admitted: "I have a more sincere character, which is to share happiness with the world. On the day of the repainting, I really wanted to eat the golden and crispy chicken legs in the cafeteria, so..."

Chu Tiankuo tilted his head: "Junior Sister Yan, are you still trying this with Senior Brother Chu? Tell the truth."

Yan Luoyue spread his hands: "Okay, I admit it, it's because I gave this flying boat a very cool name, and then I wanted to change its paint to match the name..."

Chu Tiankuo asked curiously: "What's the name?"

Yan Luoyue said seriously: "'The children in the neighbor's house are crying'!"

Chu Tiankuang clapped his hands and exclaimed: "...What a good name!"

Coincidentally, Jiang Tingbai was releasing a paper crane at the bow of the boat. Hearing the conversation between the two people, he couldn't help but cast a helpless look at Yan Luoyue.

Yan Luoyue giggled and rubbed against her eldest senior brother's side: "Eldest senior brother, are you sending a message to the master?"

"Yes." Jiang Tingbai said tactfully, "I should explain to Master the whole story of what happened before."

——Of course, after knowing the whole process of the incident, what kind of surprise would Ji Qinghong prepare for Hongtong Palace... He said, a surprise.

This was not within Jiang Tingbai's expectations, right?

Yan Luoyue obviously understood what Jiang Tingbai meant, and she narrowed her eyes and smiled secretly on the spot.

"Oh, Senior Brother." Yan Luoyue suddenly remembered something, "The monster captured by Senior Brother Chu was originally called the 'Love Devouring Demon'?"

Until now, no matter Yan Luoyue, Wu Manyhuang or Chu Tiankuo, they did not know the name of this monster and could only refer to it as "gray mist" or "demon beast".

But when Jiang Tingbai arrived yesterday, he seemed to be somewhat familiar with this kind of monster, and he pointed out the name of this monster very accurately.

"Love Devourer". This name really fits the characteristics of this monster.

Jiang Tingbai nodded slightly and responded.

He seemed uninterested and had no intention of saying more on the subject.

Yan Luoyue couldn't help but recall that Feng Xiaoyuan had mentioned this kind of monster when she was teaching in school.

At that time, she didn't seem to have mentioned the name of this monster.

Faintly, Yan Luoyue felt as if she had overlooked something.

It shouldn't be something particularly important, so she didn't feel uneasy.

It feels a bit like when you are about to go to bed and suddenly remember where you put the last can of Coke at home, so you decide to go out and buy another one if you want to drink it tomorrow.

Forget it. Yan Luoyue shifted his attention and looked at the vast sea of ​​clouds outside.

…

On the other side, Wu Manshuang was pulled away by Chu Tiankuo to have tea.

Chu Tiankuo personally poured a cup of tea for himself and Wu Manshuang.

With a casual smile on his face, he asked in a very homely tone:

"Little wizard brother, do you have any opinions about me?"

Wu Manshuang remained calm, looking down at the calm surface of the tea in the white porcelain blue and white cup. Her tone was even calmer than the tea itself.

"Really? How did Chu Jianzun know that?"

Chu Tiankuo burst into laughter immediately, and found Wu Manshuang's answer very interesting.

——They all call him “Chu Jianzun” instead of “Senior Brother Chu” like Yan Luoyue did. Do you even want to ask him how he knew that?

You know, even the demon clan historian Ling Shuanghun would call Chu Tiankuo "Brother Chu".

Chu Tiankuo personally brought the blue and white cup to Wu Manshuang and bowed to him.

"Brother Wu, I haven't apologized to you for the incident in Shancha Town yet."

"Although the circumstances were special and I had to keep it secret, the scene I created was meant to scare you, and I'm afraid I frightened you."

Hearing Chu Tiankuo say this, Wu Manshuang couldn't help but purse her lips.

He finally took his eyes off the porcelain cup and looked at the man in front of him through the white veil covering his eyes, without any intimacy or distance.

"You don't have to do this, Master Chu Jian. You are too polite."

In fact, when setting up a trap to hunt the Desire Devourer in Shancha Town, Wu Manshuang was never concerned about the so-called "shock".

What he cared about was...his own powerlessness.

When the three were captured by the gray-clothed men, Wu Manshuang stabbed her wrist with the candlestick, but failed again.

He glared at the enemy, but his opponent placed Yan Luoyue in front of him and paralyzed him.

In the end, he even took Chu Tiankuang to the old site of Shancha Town and put a dagger into his palm...

Throughout the entire process, the opponents were like mountains, blocking Wu Manshuang's path.

The huge gap in cultivation made him look like a tiny ant at the foot of a mountain. All the methods he could think of and use seemed so presumptuous.

Once upon a time, the pressure from Ji Qinghong also gave Wu Manshuang a similar feeling.

But although Ji Qinghong played tricks on him for fun, he never posed a real threat to his and Yan Luoyue's lives.

The feeling that Ji Qinghong gave Wu Manshuang was a bit like the breath of a giant beast.

You smell the scent of blood in the wind, but the beast just lies quietly beside you, lazily raising its eyelids to look at you, then closes its sleepy eyes again, not taking it seriously.

So over time, your tense heart finally settled down, and you gradually became familiar with the long wind with a little rusty smell, and together with your friends, you comfortably made a nest on the warm fur of the giant beast.

...But Chu Tiankuo is different.

Chu Tiankuo was like a long sword covered with frost and snow. Before Wu Manshuang could come to his senses, the cold iron tip of the sword was already against his throat, triggering all of Wu Manshuang's stress reactions.

Even though the long sword just flashed past like a joke, it didn't even scratch the oily skin.

But on the blade, Wu Man Shuang had already seen her own helpless pale shadow.

Wu Manshuang admitted that although he was happy to hear that the story of these three people had a good ending, his attitude was indeed a little awkward when he faced Chu Tiankuang alone.

However, rather than saying that Wu Manshuang was concerned about Chu Tiankuo's setup, it would be more accurate to say that Wu Manshuang was concerned about the fact that her skills were inferior to others.

Many thoughts flashed through Chu Tiankuo's mind at random, and he suddenly spoke.

"Brother Wu, there is a 'Dao Qingtian Tablet' on the top of your sword peak. Have you ever been there to see it?"

Wu Manshuang was slightly stunned: "I have heard of it, but I have never seen it."

During the Dharma transmission and exchange, the person who climbed up the Sword Peak in one breath and visited the Great Dao Qingtian Monument was Yan Luoyue.

Wu Manshuang was waiting patiently at the foot of the mountain at that time, thinking hard about how to break up the sword formation.

After dismantling the sword formation and going up the mountain, Jianfeng seemed to be quite wary of him, fearing that Wu Manshuang would become the second Ji Qinghong, or Jiang Tingbai 2.0, so he did not invite him to visit this famous scenic spot.

However, Wu Man Shuang had heard of the contents engraved on the Great Dao Qingtian Stele.

——The road is as vast as the blue sky, and I alone cannot get out.

With a slight flash of her eyes, Wu Manshuang realized why Chu Tiankuo asked this.

It turned out that these words subtly matched Wu Manshuang's mood at this moment.

——He had the ambition to ascend to the sky, but he could not move forward an inch and could only be trapped in prison.

Wu Manshuang couldn't help but ask, "Back then...how did Sword Master break through this barrier?"

Chu Tiankuo smiled and said, "Why don't you ask how your brother broke through this barrier?"

Wu Manshuang: “…”

Jiang Tingbai's way of breaking the wall was to carve a line on the sword stele: "If you don't want to go out, then don't go out. Don't worry about the sky first, pay more attention to your surroundings."

In other words, if Jiang Tingbai can't go out, he won't go out!

Thinking of this, Wu Manshuang said stiffly: "But I...I can't stay out."

Chu Tiankuo asked patiently: "Why?"

"No reason."

At this moment, many familiar faces flashed through Wu Man Shuang's mind.

In addition, there was a thought that was suppressed deep in the subconscious, extremely secretive and elusive, and it quickly went back and forth in Wu Manshuang's consciousness.

Wu Manshuang said firmly: "If I don't come out, who else can break this blue sky? Everyone can choose not to come out, but I can't."

——He always subconsciously felt that he came into this world with some responsibility.

Chu Tiankuo slowly put down his teacup, and his eyes softened a little.

There is a kind of insect in the world called lacewings, which always likes to cover itself with the empty shells, debris, and even small pieces of soil of other insects.

This is their defense strategy against natural enemies, and it is also their way of survival from ancient times to the present.

There are always people among human beings who live like lacewings, carrying responsibilities, worries, missions and concerns on their shoulders.

Just like Wu Man Shuang - this child is meticulous, always considerate of others, worried about many things, and has a lot on his mind.

This is also his nature and cannot be forced.

Chu Tiankuo pondered for a moment and decided to save the country in a roundabout way. He first helped Junior Brother Wu pick a small piece of soil from his body:

"Brother Wu, take off the white veil covering your eyes. I will teach you a secret method of controlling your spiritual power to attack."

Wu Manshuang paused.

Considering that he had politely called Chu Tiankua "Chu Jianzun" just a moment ago, he was a little embarrassed to accept this kindness.

Chu Tiankuo shook his head and said with a joking smile: "Brother Wu, you should take it off."

He described it vividly: "Otherwise, over time, the rest of your skin will be tanned, and only this spot will be a particularly bright white stripe... When others see your black and white skin, they will think that your original form is a silver ring snake..."

Wu Manshuang: “…”

After imagining the scene in her mind, Wu Manshuang silently took off her white veil.

Chu Tiankuo nodded with satisfaction, and then patiently taught the technique.

"Will you try again now?"

Wu Manshuang thought about it and took out a mirror from her sleeve.

For the first time in his life, he could look at his own face without the need for side light to refract.

After a pause, Wu Manshuang picked up the cup of tea that had been sitting there for a long time and drank it all in one gulp.

He whispered, "Thank you, Senior Brother Chu."

Chu Tiankuo suddenly laughed.

This child may be described as stubborn and hard-headed, but he actually has a soft heart.

He jokingly said, "I thought that Brother Wu would wait until he could defeat me before he would be willing to call me Brother in person."

Wu Man Shuang felt a little surprised.

He had this thought before...it's not like he didn't have it.

but……

"Brother Chu treats me with kindness, I can sense it."

To Wu Man Shuang, all the kindness in the world is precious.

He is not picky about food or clothes. He can turn down a bribe worth thousands of dollars without batting an eyelid, but he cannot rudely reject other people's kindness.

Wu Manshuang said goodbye to Chu Tiankuan politely, put the white veil around her eyes again, and then walked out of the cabin as usual.

A thread of Chu Tiankuo's consciousness attached to him.

He saw the children keeping the new skills they had just learned to themselves.

Wu Manshuang walked past Jiang Tingbai without changing her expression, passed Ling Shuanghun in a very depressed manner, then walked around the bow deck where Song Qingchi and Tao Tao were flirting with each other, and finally found Yan Luoyue in the rear cabin.

Yan Luoyue was throwing bird food in the wind to feed the little birds that were chasing the "Golden Chicken Leg Flying Boat".

"Manshuang?"

Sensing Wu Manshuang approaching, Yan Luoyue clapped his hands and shook off the last bit of powder in his palms.

Wu Manshuang stood quietly, and the moment Yan Luoyue raised her head to look at her, the corners of her lips curled up, revealing a naughty smile.

Then, he pulled away the white veil covering his eyes with a sudden force.

Her eyes, as bright as obsidian and shining like crystal, looked at Yan Luoyue with burning eyes.

It was like a packaged gift, which jumped up and down to remove the decorative ribbons, and then stood in front of the recipient with a bit of pride.

Eyes met.

Then, Yan Luoyue saw her own reflection in two of the most beautiful gemstone mirrors in the world.

Then she in the mirror blinked, and blinked again.

"Wow!"

Yan Luoyue shouted in great surprise: "I'm fine? You're fine too—Wow, Manshuang, you can control yourself!"

Wu Manshuang nodded heavily: "Senior Brother Chu taught me a unique technique."

"Did you come to see me the first time?"

Yan Luoyue suddenly had an idea and picked up the white gauze to wrap Wu Manshuang around her.

"Let's go, let's go play a trick on Xiao Ling! We must give him a big scare!"

Wu Manshuang nodded seriously: "Well, play the game of 'Guess the Ma' with him."

Yan Luoyue suddenly laughed evilly: "I don't know whether Xiao Ling is numb or not, but we probably will be scolded..."

"It doesn't matter," Wu Manshuang said lightly, "If we drag him into the same corrupt team and team up with him to play tricks on others, we won't be scolded..."

In the cabin, Chu Tiankuo held the teacup, leaned back, and smiled contentedly, as if he had just finished listening to a happy ending.

"Right, this is what kids should be like, not so bitter and resentful..."

Chu Tiankuo has raised the problem and then solved part of it.

As for what happens next, it will be left to Yan Luoyue and Jiang Tingbai.

…

Unlike the harmonious atmosphere on the flying boat, the atmosphere at the sword competition venue seemed slightly strange.

On the stage, two sword masters were competing with each other.

On the high platform where the elders and peak masters of various sects watched the competition, many people's minds had already left

They all turned their attention inward, paying close attention to the movements of a certain person among them.

The man had white hair and red eyes, with a playful look on his face. His eyes were scanning everyone from time to time, making everyone present feel uneasy from time to time.

Many people secretly cursed in their hearts: - Damn it, why did Gui Yuanzong let Ji Qinghong out!

According to inside information, the person representing... that peak at this sword conference is Ji Qinghong's eldest disciple Jiang Tingbai.

Everyone is familiar with Jiang Tingbai. He is the man rumored to be "a sword cultivator who does not look like a sword cultivator at all, and a disciple who does not look like Ji Qinghong's disciple at all."

He is gentle, honest and reasonable, and he respects his elders. People who work with Jiang Tingbai feel like they are in the spring breeze.

However, who could have imagined that the original representative was Jiang Tingbai, but halfway through, he was replaced by such a jerk?

Many people wondered if this was Ji Qinghong's new way of having fun, with the goal of tricking everyone into killing them.

——This is pure, “If I had known he was coming, I would not have come”!

Ji Qinghong supported himself with one hand, looked around slowly, and then fixed his eyes on a man wearing a Taoist robe with five kinds of patterns embroidered on the cuffs: weapons, talismans, formations, swords, and pills.

Afterwards, everyone looked on in indifference, and Ji Qinghong's men followed his gaze and moved over.

The white-haired demon lord very familiarly placed a stool next to the visitor from Hongtong Palace.

Everyone: “…”

The elders who were familiar with each other exchanged glances, revealing a slightly gossipy look of watching the show.

As everyone knows, the reason why Ji Qinghong is the most unpopular in the world of immortal cultivation is that he will randomly look for trouble, and he is very likely to find trouble for you.

Ji Qinghong's greatest role in the world of immortal cultivation is that he will randomly look for trouble, and he is likely to find trouble for your opponent.

And the fact that Hongtong Palace, which was directed by Guan Yiqi, was troubled by Ji Qinghong... was like two major cancers in the world of cultivation, tearing them apart.

To be honest, everyone quite likes to hear it!

As for the visitor from Hongtong Palace, he was already covered with goosebumps the moment Ji Qinghong sat next to him.

This man's surname is Fei, and he is an elder in Hongtong Palace.

He was not a person of real power, so he was sent to lead the sword-cultivating disciples to participate in the sword-cultivation conference, which was a leisurely job.

After being stared at with interest by Ji Qinghong for a stick of incense, Elder Fei finally couldn't help but say:

"I have no friendship with Ji Yaozun in the past. Why is Ji Yaozun so close to me today?"

Elder Fei almost gritted his teeth when he asked the last two words, replacing "harassment" with "closeness".

Ji Qinghong answered slowly, "Because I think the ladies in the imperial palace all look very interesting."

As soon as these words were spoken, many ambiguous laughs were heard all around.

Elder Fei frowned slightly and said in a sinister tone, "In terms of stories, I dare not compare with the qualifications of Ji Yaozun Bo Lan."

Ji Qinghong smiled and said, "Sometimes the number of stories you have has nothing to do with your experience, it just depends on whether you are brave enough."

"It's like in my life, which has been full of ups and downs, I haven't done anything as exciting as assassinating other sect elites, raising monsters for my own benefit, colluding with monsters, or trying to sell out the entire human and monster races for my own selfish interests."

"!!!"

Ji Qinghong didn't even blink, and within a sentence he dumped four big pots on Elder Fei's head.

These four pots are heavier, darker, and more terrifying than each other.

——Anyway, no matter whether Hongtong Palace has done it or not, just put on the hat first.

For a moment, everyone stopped watching the game and turned to look at Elder Fei and Ji Qinghong.

Elder Fei was stunned at first, then his face quickly turned red with anger.

"Ji Qinghong! Although my cultivation is not as strong as yours, I am also an envoy representing Hongtong Palace. You are talking nonsense. Do you take my Hongtong Palace seriously?"

This shout was like a bolt from the blue. Even the competitors on the stage stopped hesitantly.

At this moment, no one can care about the game.

Elder Fei suddenly stood up, pointed at Ji Qinghong, and shouted to the four seats:

"Everyone heard what I just said clearly. Ji Qinghong's accusation against me and slander against my Hongtong Palace cannot be explained away by a casual joke!"

"Oh." Ji Qinghong actually smiled lightly, "What if I say... it's not a joke?"

Elder Fei sneered, "Why? Could it be that I am colluding with monsters just because I am here to watch the sword competition - or the sword competition hosted by your Guiyuan Sect?"

Ji Qinghong nodded in a serious manner: "Yes, the Kendo Conference...it does have something to do with the Kendo Conference."

He clapped his hands lightly and said, "Tingbai, bring the person up here."

The next moment, under the complicated gazes of the crowd, Jiang Tingbai led a young man in a silver robe out from the small door under the stand.

“…”

After a moment of identification, someone figured out the identity of the man in silver robe.

But before that person could even utter the word "Chu Tiankuo", the leader of the Hansong Sect, Song, suddenly crushed the handle of the armchair!

Elder Fei frowned. "This is Chu Tiankuo, the champion of the sword competition eighty years ago. He went astray and killed half of the people in Shancha Town under the jurisdiction of Hongtong Palace, and then killed his own brothers and sisters."

"Ji Yaozun, if you want to bring this lunatic to justice for me and Sect Master Song, you don't have to use such a shocking method."

"That's wrong." Ji Qinghong said slowly, "I'm not arresting people for you Hongtong Palace, I'm arresting you Hongtong Palace for Chu Tiankuo."

Elder Fei began to doubt his own ears.

"…What did you say?"

But at the critical moment, Ji Qinghong seemed not to want to say anything. He closed his eyes, turned his head and rested alone!

Chu Tiankuo looked around and saluted with his sword to the people around him.

"Elder Fei, everyone has seen and pointed out what happened - eighty years ago, a love-devouring demon appeared in Shancha Town under the jurisdiction of Hongtong Palace. Please give an explanation to the world on behalf of Hongtong Palace."

Elder Fei was stunned!

He is just an idle elder. If he can speak on behalf of Hongtong Palace, why would he need to do such a trivial thing as leading the sword-cultivating disciples to participate in the youth competition?

But at this moment, it is just as Chu Tiankuo said, everyone sees it, everyone points at it.

Elder Fei knew that he had to say this whether he wanted to or not.

And if the performance is not good, the entire palace will be hung in front of all the major sects!

After taking a deep breath, Elder Fei reluctantly asked, "You are an ordinary disciple who committed the evil act of slaughtering fellow disciples and sisters, yet you dare to accuse me? Tell me quickly, who instructed you, and who gave you the courage?"

Chu Tiankuo smiled slightly and said loudly: "First of all, I am here today to make the world see me. Secondly, my junior brothers and sisters are not dead."

After these words were spoken, Sect Master Song on the high platform shuddered again!

The next moment, a young couple, handsome and good-looking, in blue shirts and pink skirts, walked out of the secret door.

Elder Fei paused for a moment, then immediately became even more arrogant.

"Okay, since your fellow disciples are fine, then it's not your sect's business. Isn't it just Shancha Town that is affected?"

He slammed the table and said, "So you are here to surrender yourself to my Hongtong Palace today - come here..."

"Slow down." Chu Tiankuo spoke clearly.

"Half of the people in Shancha Town were slaughtered in the past, but that was not caused by me. It was caused by you, Hongtong Palace, who let the monsters run wild, raised monsters to cause trouble, and colluded with the monsters from inside and outside!"

Elder Fei frowned: "It happened eighty years ago. What right do you have to say that..."

Chu Tiankuo slowly took out a golden peach blossom hairpin from his arms.

"The palace is based on the art of refining artifacts. I think the elders should be good at identifying treasures. It's not like someone like me who failed the art of refining artifacts can't recognize the material of this hairpin."

Chu Tiankuo sighed and said, "The souls of half of the townspeople who died tragically in Shancha Town that year basically reside in the soul-nourishing beads. If Elder Fei has any questions, you can always dispatch them for inquiry."

Elder Fei scolded without thinking: "Nonsense, when can the confession of a mortal be taken seriously?"

Chu Tiankuo asked, "What kind of confession would be taken seriously?"

Elder Fei's eyes rolled. "Catch the thief, catch the stolen goods, catch the adulterer, and catch the couple. Since you said that you were harmed by a monster, then you must explain what kind of monster it is and where it is."

He emphasized his voice and said, "...At least, you have to take out a piece of the monster's limbs, bones, or even a small piece of flesh, right?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Chu Tiankuo immediately realized that this Elder Fei was most likely an insider of what happened back then.

After all, the Devil of Love has always been elusive, and his physique is very special. He cannot be harmed by sword energy, talismans, spells, and Buddhist golden light.

How could they cut off the flesh of such a monster and bring it as evidence?

Chu Tiankuo shook his head and said, "I don't have any monster's limbs or flesh as evidence."

Elder Fei said hurriedly: "You are so arrogant! Hongtong Palace is upright, how can you slander it with just your mouth? Why don't you send someone here quickly..."

Chu Tiankuo sighed: "But I caught the monster in its entirety."

As soon as he finished speaking, the rest of Elder Fei's sentence was blocked back in his throat.

His face was red, white, blue and green, just like an overturned color palette, which was very beautiful.
