Chapter 123
The patrol disciples of Wei Hai Palace reported that the sea water around the place where the Sturgeon Shark King Beast was inherited was churning, about 30 meters high, with huge waves like a tsunami, thunder rumbling, and thick clouds overlapping, like a doomsday scene.
The elders were horrified when they heard the reported information, and could not help but think of the wind and thunder sea area of Haihezhou a thousand years ago.
If the wind and thunder in the sea recur, the consequences will be unimaginable.
The elder hurriedly ordered his disciples, "Quick! Form a team and follow me to check it out!"
"Yes, sir!"
The people from Wei Hai Palace came in a mighty force, riding their swords at high speed. When they arrived at the place, they did not see a doomsday scene. On the contrary, they saw a clear sky and rippling blue waves.
The elder blew his beard and glared, "Where's Lei? Where's Lang?!"
The patrolling disciple was in the team and was also confused when he saw the scene before him. "This, this... I clearly saw it with my own eyes... What's going on..."
Not far away, Su Jinzhou and Sha Qi were hidden by Ji Tang's life-saving magic weapon, Wanyinzhao. They looked at the angry elder of Wei Hai Palace in silence.
Ji Tang extended his spiritual power and placed his hands on the shoulders of the two people beside him, one on the left and one on the right.
"What did I say? Don't make too much noise."
One of them is the peerless Immortal Lord, and the other is the incomparably powerful Sturgeon Shark Ancestor, but neither of them dared to say a word and just took the scolding.
Jitang saw that the old man from Wei Hai Palace was still angrily lecturing the young disciple. The young disciple had no way to defend himself and was scolded until his face turned red.
"That little disciple is truly innocent. You guys caused this trouble, so you guys should handle it."
Shaqi flew out of the range of Wanyin Cover and appeared in front of everyone in Wei Hai Palace.
Before the elder finished lecturing, he saw a person appear out of nowhere.
He stopped talking abruptly, his angry expression still showing, but now filled with surprise and wariness.
Shaqi cleared his throat. "We are from the Weihai Palace." They were wearing Weihai Palace attire, making them easy to identify. "What brings you here?"
The elder looked him up and down, and seeing that he showed no ill will, he felt relieved, but he remained on guard. He stepped forward calmly, protecting his disciples behind him.
"Excuse me, sir?"
Sharky laughed and said, "You came to my place, shouldn't I be the one asking you questions?"
The elder was puzzled. "You...your territory?"
Without saying much, Shaqi directly urged the beast spirit in his body to reveal its original form behind him.
The huge body of the sturgeon shark swam half a circle in the air, and when it swung its tail, it made a unique cry that resounded through the sky.
Then, the original body gradually faded away, and the phantom disintegrated behind Sharky, like scattered stars in the sunlight.
Seeing this, the elder was still confused and immediately bowed respectfully, folding his hands above his head. "Wei Hai Palace Elder Qin Ze greets Sturgeon Ancestor and respectfully welcomes him out of seclusion!"
The disciples behind him recovered from their shock and bowed, saying in unison, "Welcome, Old Ancestor, out of seclusion!"
The elder hurriedly explained, "Grandmaster, one of my disciples noticed something unusual while patrolling nearby. I heard about it and rushed over to investigate, but I didn't expect it was you who had come out of retreat. I beg you to punish me for any disturbance."
Shaqi said arrogantly, "You have been protecting the sturgeon shark clan for many years. I am grateful to you and would never punish you. When I have time, I will visit the Weihai Palace and express my gratitude."
The elder's face was full of smiles. "Grandmaster, you are too kind! In this case, our palace will wait for your arrival!"
He and the disciples behind him bowed again before leaving.
Ji Tang also removed the Wanyin Cover and came to Sha Qi's side, "It's been many years since we last met. You really have the power of an ancestor."
Shaqi was defeated in a second when facing Jitang, "How about it, did you see how I looked just now? And the respectful attitude those people from Weihai Palace showed me."
"You're still showing off." Ji Tang laughed at him, "Since you're out of seclusion, how about joining us?"
"You didn't come to see me just to reminisce about the past, did you?"
"Of course, let's go and talk on the way."
The three of them flew on their swords and returned to Chenwuzhou Huanxi Garden without any delay.
As soon as they entered the inn, they saw Xue Ningqi waiting in the hall on the first floor.
The moment Xue Ningqi saw the three people, he jumped up, "Immortal Lord, something happened!"
As he said this, he looked towards Jitang, but after just one glance, he timidly looked away.
Su Jinzhou went upstairs first, "Let's go to my room."
Xue Ningqi nodded repeatedly.
As soon as the door closed, Xue Ningqi's tense body finally relaxed for a moment.
"Drink some water."
Xue Ningqi subconsciously took the teacup, and just after taking a sip, he spat it all out with a "puff".
Fortunately, Jitang dodged quickly, otherwise he would have been sprayed in the face by him.
Xue Ningqi held the teacup stupidly, using so much force that the wall of the cup cracked.
He said stupidly, "Yan Zun poured me some water, and I drank it. Father, mother, I, I, I have made it big..."
Three people: "..."
Ji Tang touched his cheek and asked, "My Rongyin Mirror is ineffective?"
Sharky glanced at her. "It didn't work. It's pretty ugly."
Jitang kicked him and Shaqi grimaced.
Xue Ningqi sucked in a breath of cold air, his eyes full of wonder, "I even saw Nightmare Lord kick someone..."
Su Jinzhou couldn't bear to see him look so silly, "Come and sit down."
Xue Ningqi went over obediently.
The round table in the room was for four people. He looked at the three people who had already taken their seats, sitting between Su Jinzhou and Sha Qi, facing Ji Tang.
As soon as his eyes met Jitang's, his body reacted first and he burped.
Su Jinzhou knocked on the table to call back the young disciple's attention. "What happened? Is it related to Jitang?"
When Xue Ningqi heard the Immortal Venerable calling the Nightmare Venerable by his name, his heart started pounding and he swallowed hard, "Yes, and also, not entirely."
Su Jinzhou frowned. Seeing that his young disciple couldn't calm down, he wanted to ask someone else, "Where's Gu Yan?"
Xue Ningqi saw that the Immortal Master was dissatisfied and forced himself to calm down.
His heart was still beating fast, and his mind was uncontrollably recalling the words that his master had repeatedly thrown at him.
"My senior sister is still alive."
"My senior sister is the Nightmare Lord."
"Jiu Shui Shen is the Nightmare Lord."
"You've seen the woman who follows Senior Brother."
"Wait until Senior Brother and Senior Sister come back, and tell them what happened."
This was like a bolt from the blue to him, and it completely stunned him!
Xue Ningqi slapped his cheeks hard until they turned red, and then he felt his confused mind become clearer.
"Reporting to the Immortal Venerable, Master is currently dealing with cultivators from other sects and palaces and cannot return yet."
He said in a rush, "Immortal Venerable, on the day the competition began, you wore the Nightmare Venerable belt presented to you by Han Wei, and a jade pendant was revealed."
"Do you have any impression of him? Han Wei is the elder of the Huanxiao Sect. He saw the jade pendant and made a big fuss about it the next day!"
"He said that over four hundred years ago, the famous and upright sects attacked the Nine Nether Abyss together, intending to capture the demon... No, no! Those were his exact words, not mine!"
Xue Ningqi knew he had spoken hastily and had said the wrong thing, so he stumbled over his words and explained to Ji Tang, "Yanzun, I wasn't even born during that battle! These are Elder Han Wei's exact words..."
Jitang smiled and said, "Go on."
Seeing that she wasn't angry, Xue Ningqi spoke cautiously, "To take Nightmare Lord... um..." He pointed to his head, "After Nightmare Lord was knocked down to the Nine Nether Abyss, they found a piece of broken green jade next to him. The jade was broken and of little value, so they didn't pay much attention to it. Only Elder Han Wei picked up the fragment and still has it."
"When he saw the jade pendant on the Immortal Venerable's waist, he immediately recognized it as being from the same source as the Nightmare Venerable's broken jade. He brought the broken jade and came to cause trouble here in front of many sects and palaces, insisting that the Immortal Venerable and the Nightmare Venerable had long been involved. The broken jade in his hand is the evidence."
Ji Tang: "Brother, I just scolded him a few days ago, and he got so upset?"
Xue Ningqi didn't bother to respond for a moment, and his heart made a sharp explosion.
Nightmare Master called Immortal Master Senior Brother! Called Immortal Master Senior Brother!
He struggled to control his emotions, but his tone was unsteady. "He said that the Immortal Venerable had actually come to rebuke his fellow campers for Nightmare Venerable, and even brought up a belt imbued with Nightmare Venerable's aura. He must have known Nightmare Venerable before. Coupled with the broken green jade he produced as evidence, it caused quite a stir within the sects and palaces."
"After that, another cultivator came forward and said that a thousand years ago, Nightmare Venerable had been a disciple of Master Wushu of the Suxuan Sect. They said that our Suxuan Sect has long harbored evil intentions and accepted the Nightmare Clan as disciples. The current sect leader is Master Nightmare Venerable, and the Immortal Venerable is Brother Nightmare Venerable. The Suxuan Sect and Nightmare Venerable have such a close relationship that it will sooner or later harm the entire cultivation world."
"Puh, those stinky little bugs! Just a jade pendant, is it enough to make them so panicked? Have they become pig-brains after practicing cultivation?!" Sha Qi said this angrily. Seeing that Su Jinzhou and Ji Tang were still calm, he suppressed his anger and asked, "Aren't you angry?"
Jitang smiled and was about to pour tea for the people at the table.
How could Xue Ningqi dare to let the legendary big shot pour tea? He hurriedly took the teapot from Ji Tang's hand and poured tea in turn.
Ji Tang laughed, "I thought my Weilongpei had been reduced to ashes a long time ago, but I didn't expect there would be a little bit of jade left. Even if it can't be used, it has to be in my hands."
Xue Ningqi couldn't help but shudder.
It was true that Nightmare Lord was smiling, but a chill still fluttered in his eyes.
Su Jinzhou asked, "Are they still in the competition arena?"
Xue Ningqi: "Yes, Immortal Venerable, it has been going on for several days. I must ask Su Xuanzong to give them an explanation."
Shaqi snorted and laughed, "It seems that your Suxuan Sect has been the only dominant force in Chenwuzhou for quite a long time."
Xue Ningqi whispered, "Senior, Chenwuzhou has ten major sects, nine major schools, thirteen palaces, and seventy-two prefectures. I, Suxuan Sect, have always been kind to others and never compete for these empty titles."
Shaqi raised his eyebrows and raised his hand to make the first gesture, "You are saying that Su Xuanzong is in Chenwuzhou, right?"
Xue Ningqi: "Of course, that's right."
Shaqi spread his hands. "That's it." He looked at the two of them. "I think those people from the sects and palaces have been displeased with you for a long time. Who likes to be outshined every day? The broken jade is just an excuse, just a pretext for venting their anger."
Xue Ningqi hesitated, "Immortal Venerable, if this continues, the situation will only get worse tomorrow."
Su Jinzhou drank his tea leisurely, and after a moment he said, "The best time to solve the problem is when the situation is at its worst."
Xue Ningqi was stunned.
Sharky played with the teacup, a smile on his face. "Solve it all at once?"
Stay all night on the boat, "to save trouble."
How come what was a big deal to Xue Ningqi was no big deal to the three seniors?
He was a little carried away by the atmosphere, and in a trance, he developed a domineering spirit of "no matter who you fight, you will fight against the enemy and no one will be afraid of you."
However, after one night, the situation had exceeded Xue Ningqi's expectations and had reached its worst point.
The next morning, news came from the Huanxiao Sect that their elder Han Wei had died in a room in the inn the night before, and his body was contaminated with the aura of nightmare.
After investigation, it was found that the nightmare aura on the corpse was consistent with the nightmare aura on Han Weicheng and the Immortal Venerable's belt.
"In other words, if the one who killed Han Wei wasn't the Immortal Venerable, then it could only be the ghost of the Nightmare Venerable."
For a while, everyone had different opinions and felt insecure.
