If that guy died, it was because he was not strong enough and lost to others. How can we blame him?
As for what happened later, Li Xiuchen didn't want to recall it. He had never imagined that Luo Jianqing would see through his fake death plot and would be so reluctant to kill him. Furthermore, Luo Jianqing's strength was so much higher than his own, so even if he wanted to commit suicide, there was no way he could do it.
So he was dropped by Luo Jianqing on the Immortal Binding Rope, and crashed all the way from the Wutong Tree to the entrance of the ninth level of danger.
"Luo Jianqing! Why is it you! Why is it you again!!!"
Facing Li Xiuchen's roar, Luo Jianqing simply glanced at him lightly before turning and leaving. At this moment, Venerable Guanglingzi and the others had all caught up. They watched in shock as Luo Jianqing bound Li Xiuchen with the Immortal Binding Rope and prepared to leave.
Venerable Guanglingzi immediately stepped forward and said, "Jianqing, he is my disciple, what are you doing?!"
Luo Jianqing raised his eyes and glanced at Venerable Guanglingzi, without saying much, and was about to leave.
How could Guanglingzi allow Luo Jianqing to kidnap his disciple right in front of him? He immediately stepped forward to stop him, but Luo Jianqing swung the Xuanling Sword and blocked it with a flash of sword light.
Looking at this familiar sword, Venerable Guanglingzi suddenly held his breath and no longer had any intention of taking action.
Everyone knew that Master Guanglingzi of Mount Taihua was known for his boldness and rugged temperament. However, few people knew that at this moment, as he gazed at the sword in Luo Jianqing's hand, he choked up and said in a hoarse voice, "Master, I know you've never liked this disciple of yours. But he's a disciple of Mount Taihua after all, and he's never provoked you. If you were to kidnap him like this, where would the reputation of Mount Taihua be?"
Luo Jianqing clenched the sword in his right hand and looked at Venerable Guanglingzi, but remained silent for a long time.
Guanglingzi had thick eyebrows and large eyes, but at this moment, tears welled up in his eyes. He hesitated for a long time before taking out a few fragments from his ring and said, "If this disciple hasn't done something that requires his death, would you be willing to return him? Here are a few fragments. I think... you want them too."
Luo Jianqing's eyes narrowed, and he raised his hand to suck the fragments over.
Golden fragments hovered before Luo Jianqing. He gazed down at the shattered jade, his teeth clenched, and suddenly, with a flick of his sleeve, he collected the fragments into his ring. The next moment, he looked at Guanglingzi and finally uttered his first words since arriving at Mount Taihua: "He deserves to die, but he can't. He's of great use. If you don't believe me... Uncle-Master, try killing him right now!"
Guanglingzi was stunned: "You...you..."
"If you don't dare to kill him, then I will kill him!"
A deep voice suddenly rang out from behind Luo Jianqing and Li Xiuchen. Everyone turned to look and saw a black figure, as fast as lightning, flying behind Li Xiuchen in the blink of an eye and stabbing him with a sword with determination. And then...
Rumble!
In the sky, a red lightning bolt swiftly struck the black figure. Even with his Tribulation Crossing Stage cultivation, the lightning still cleaved a bloody wound on his right arm. Blood gushed out of the wound, and the longsword was knocked out of his hand by the force, falling into the forest below.
Venerable Guanglingzi opened his eyes wide: "Zizhuo!!!"
Xie Zizhuo raised his uninjured left hand and gently wiped the blood from his lips. He paid no attention to his injuries. Instead, he looked up at Luo Jianqing, whose expression was complicated. With a forced smile on his pale face, Xie Zizhuo asked bitterly, "Big Brother, why did you never let me do this a hundred years ago? Why didn't you tell me all this?"
Luo Jianqing tightened his fingers slightly, but did not answer.
Venerable Yuqingzi hurried to heal Jie Zizhuo, but the lightning bolt shattered the bones in his left arm, requiring at least ten years of recuperation to heal. He was already at the early stages of the Tribulation Crossing stage, and the fact that it shattered his bones showed how terrifying the lightning bolt must have been, and how fast it struck, leaving Jie Zizhuo unable to dodge.
However, at this moment, everyone in Taihua Mountain looked at Luo Jianqing and Li Xiuchen, who was held on his fingers with a dazed look on his face, and they could no longer speak.
They had seen the lightning strike clearly. Besides Luo Jianqing, the highest-level cultivator present was Guanglingzi. That lightning strike came without a single warning; it was a complete killing move, destined to kill Jie Zizhuo, who had attacked Li Xiuchen. If Jie Zizhuo hadn't dodged, the lightning would have been enough to severely injure him!
So, why is there such a thunder?
What is special about Li Xiuchen?
Luo Jianqing...why did he know that?
Everyone's suspicious eyes were all directed at Luo Jianqing, who glanced at them calmly, his gaze lingering on Zuo Yunmo and Jie Zizhuo for a moment before turning around and leaving behind only one sentence:
"If you want to know the truth, I'll be waiting for you in the Far North fifty years from now!"
whoosh!
A flash of green light flashed through the gray-white mist. Venerable Guanglingzi shouted "Jianqing" and tried to catch up, but he was only able to chase for a few hundred miles before being thrown away. After returning to Taihua Mountain, Guanglingzi looked at his seriously injured disciple with a mixture of heartache and helplessness.
After a long sigh, Guanglingzi asked, "Zizhuo, if you knew something before, why did you hide it from us and refuse to tell us?"
The cold and stubborn black-robed monk turned his gaze away and refused to answer.
Guanglingzi couldn't help sighing, but after looking at the injury on Jie Zizhuo's left arm, he could only comfort him, "I know you're angry, and Master knows you're wronged, but you can't be willful about this matter. Brat, you and your senior brother are best friends, and you listen to him in everything, but this matter is not your private matter. Tell me everything about Li Xiuchen, don't leave anything out!"
