The Yin-Yang Ancestor was about to be driven to desperation when he happened to escape to Mount Putuo. Remembering the Cihang Daoist in the mountain, he immediately rode his escape light to the mountain, passing through the Purple Bamboo Forest and arriving at the Luojia Cave.
"Fellow Daoist Cihang, are you there? This old man has arrived!" Yin Yang Ancestor shouted loudly.
The Cihang Daoist was practicing magic in the cave when she heard the Yin Yang Ancestor calling for her to leave. Her delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly.
The great battle between the Yin-Yang Ancestor and Hu Le in the South China Sea was extremely large, and it could not be kept from her. She was one of the cultivators who watched the battle with their divine sense.
After the Yin-Yang Ancestor was defeated, she withdrew her divine sense like everyone else, sighing that the Yin-Yang Ancestor was probably doomed this time, lamenting that she had lost a familiar fellow Daoist.
But to her utter surprise, the other party has now come to her place.
She was a quick-witted person, and when the Yin-Yang Ancestor came to her door, she was well aware of his intentions.
"Fellow Daoist Cihang! Fellow Daoist Cihang..."
She sat on the Biyou bed and pondered for a while. Then she heard the Yin Yang Ancestor calling out several times outside. His tone was much more urgent than before, as if he would break down the door the next second if she didn't go out.
She sighed, got up from the Biyou bed, and quickly walked a few steps to the outside of the cave.
Seeing that Cihang Daoren finally opened the door and came out, instead of refusing to see him like Huankong, Yin Yang Laozu finally felt relieved.
"So it's Brother Yin Yang. It's been a long time. What brings you here?" Cihang Daoist asked knowingly.
Knowing that Hu Le might catch up in the next second, the Yin-Yang Ancestor hurriedly said, "May I go in and talk?"
"……All right."
Cihang Daoist hesitated for a moment, but still agreed and invited Yin Yang Ancestor into the cave.
After entering the cave, Cihang Daoist sealed the cave entrance and led Yin Yang Laozu to the main hall.
Before Cihang Daoist could invite Yin Yang Patriarch to sit down, Yin Yang Patriarch spoke first, explaining his purpose.
"Fellow Daoist, I have come here because I am being hunted down and have nowhere else to go. I beg you to consider our past friendship and allow me to hide here for a while."
The Yin-Yang Ancestor bowed deeply to Cihang Daoist, his heart filled with bitterness.
Originally, Cihang Daoren was nothing more than a junior who had once received his kindness. Now, however, he was asking for Cihang Daoren's protection, which made him feel quite conflicted.
"This? Brother Daoist, there's no need for such formalities." Cihang Daoist stepped forward and helped Yin Yang Ancestor up, sighing, "Brother Daoist once saved my life. Now that you've come to me for help, how can I sit idly by?"
What I don't understand is, with your cultivation and power, which fellow Daoist could have forced you to this point?
Upon hearing this, the Yin-Yang Ancestor had no choice but to recount what had happened...
...
Hu Le followed the Yin-Yang Ancestor all the way here, only to find that the other party's aura disappeared in front of a sacred mountain. After calculating with his fingers, he found that the other party was in the mountain.
So he used his divine sense to scan the mountain, and then took a step and came to an old pine tree at the foot of the mountain.
A stone tablet stands under a pine tree, with the three large characters "Putuo Mountain" engraved on it.
He instantly realized that he had arrived at the Taoist temple of Cihang Daoren.
He had only met Cihang Daoren once, not long ago at Ran Deng Daoren's banquet.
As for the last time Cihang Daoist attended the Kunlun Dharma Assembly, he had not yet become a disciple of Yuxu Palace...
After learning who the owner of the temple was, Hu Le raised his hand and summoned a lucky cloud that flew up the mountain. Soon after, he passed through a bamboo forest and finally arrived at the Luojia Cave.
“Fellow Daoist Cihang! An old friend has arrived; why don’t you come out and greet him quickly?”
Hu Le's voice rang out from outside the cave. Yin Yang Patriarch, who was telling Cihang Daoist about what had happened, was startled and quickly stopped talking.
"...That evil star has finally caught up with me. Please grant me a place to take refuge for a while."
Cihang Daoist's mind raced, and he got up and went to the back hall. He then returned with a jade bottle and said with a smile, "My cave is really cramped, and there is no good place to hide. Besides, if you hide in the open, you may not be able to hide from Fellow Daoist Hu Le."
Fortunately, I have a treasure bestowed upon me by my teacher. It contains boundless space and has the ability to isolate one's aura. Brother, why don't you go inside? I'll deal with him and then release you."
"this……"
Just as the Yin-Yang Ancestor was about to agree, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Cihang Daoren's smile. Although he couldn't discern anything from it, a sense of doubt arose in his heart.
He had already lost his physical body, which greatly reduced his strength. If he were to automatically enter someone else's magical treasure, and that person had malicious intentions, wouldn't he be at their mercy?
Seeing that the Yin-Yang Ancestor was hesitant, Cihang Daoren's smile vanished, replaced by a hint of annoyance.
"What? Brother Dao, do you not trust me? Very well! I won't force you. Brother Dao, you should go back to where you came from. I will no longer meddle in other people's business."
"Alas... Fellow Daoist, you flatter me. I have been unworthy to act like a petty person. I hope you will not take offense."
Seeing that Cihang Daoist was about to send him away, Yin Yang Lao Zu immediately realized what was happening, apologized hastily, and then leaped into the Jade Bottle as a wisp of spiritual light.
"...I'll leave everything to you now, fellow Daoist."
Finally, the Yin-Yang Ancestor said something sincere.
"Don't worry, brother, I'll go and take care of him right away."
Cihang Daoren's expression remained unchanged. He responded with a sound of agreement, casually placed the jade bottle on the jade table beside him, and got up to walk out of the cave.
Before long, the cave door opened wide, and Cihang Daoren came out. Upon seeing Hu Le, he smiled before even speaking.
"I am a little late in welcoming you, and I apologize for keeping you waiting so long, fellow Daoist." Cihang Daoist bowed to Hu Le.
Hu Le returned the greeting and said with a smile, "Fellow Daoist, what are you saying? It was my presumption to come and disturb your cultivation. I should ask for your forgiveness."
"Brother Dao, you're too kind..."
After exchanging pleasantries outside the cave, Hu Le was eventually invited inside.
The two entered the hall and took their seats as host and guest. Cihang Daoist then ordered a servant to bring out the immortal dew and spiritual fruit, which were placed in front of Hu Le.
Hu Le ate a little bit and then chatted with Cihang Daoren for a while.
Then, without waiting for Cihang Daoren to ask a question, he said directly, "Fellow Daoist, you and I are not strangers, so I won't stand on ceremony with you."
I hope you will first invite that Yin-Yang Daoist out so that we can settle things once and for all.
After all, Mr. Hu has already found this place. If he continues to avoid us, what will that mean?
His purpose in coming here is solely to eliminate the Yin-Yang Ancestor and completely remove this stumbling block from his path to enlightenment.
If Cihang Daoren dares not hand over the person, then don't blame him for being impolite.
Even if it were Cihang Daoren blocking the way, or even if Yuqing Yuanshi Zhenren were here, he would absolutely not give up easily...
