Mortal's Purple Sky Cave Heaven

Chapter 158 Everyone has their own thoughts

"What kind of exchange? My sword maid is only at the initial stage of foundation building. Your disciple is clearly bullying the weak and deliberately humiliating my disciples!" Madam Wen said with a cold face.

If she didn't ask for an explanation, where would her dignity be in the hearts of her subordinates in the future, and how could they work hard for her? Although it was just a matter of a sword maid, it was related to her face.

"Bullying Madam's disciples? How dare I! For the sake of your husband Liudao, I will let that disciple apologize to Madam." Wan Tianming frowned slightly and said indifferently.

"What does my affairs have to do with the Six Paths? If you are unwilling, I would like to learn from Sect Master Wan about the 'Luanfeng Sword Technique'." Madam Wen became even more irritated when she heard Wan Tianming's words, and she seemed ready to have a big fight if they disagreed.

Nie Zhaonan also slightly side-glanced, and cast his gaze towards Madam Wen. Seeing her inactive expression, a thought emerged in his mind: "Could it be that Madam Wen and Liu Dao now have a rift, or even hatred?"

"Compete with my wife? Forget it. If Liudao knew that I bullied his wife, he would immediately come after me and fight me. I don't want to provoke a war between the good and the evil." Wan Tianming said with a laugh.

When Mrs. Wen heard this, her face turned red. After glaring at him, she finally gave up.

Nie Zhaonan, who saw all of this, was confused. The contrast between Madam Wen's behavior was so great. Why did she have such a love-hate relationship with Liu Dao?

"This must be the fellow Daoist who has advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, Fellow Daoist Nie, right?" Wan Tianming turned his gaze to Nie Zhaonan, who had remained silent, and asked in an affirmative tone.

Although Nie Zhaonan has been in the Nascent Soul stage for more than 30 years, for a veteran Nascent Soul cultivator like Wan Tianming who has lived for hundreds of years, this short period of time can be ignored.

"It's Nie, I have also heard of the name of Master Wan for a long time." Nie Zhaonan answered with a calm expression and a calm tone, without any respect at all.

Nie Zhaonan's neither humble nor arrogant appearance startled all the monks in the hall. They didn't know where he got the confidence from.

"Could it be that he has the security of being an elder and having the support of the Star Palace?" Everyone present thought of the same thing.

Although he holds such an important position as the deputy palace master of Xing Palace, Nie Zhaonan and the Xing Palace have never made it public. Except for the Nascent Soul elders of Xing Palace, no one else knows Nie Zhaonan's true identity in Xing Palace.

Wan Tianming's eyes flashed with a cold light, and a murderous aura like a knife flashed across his face. He seemed very dissatisfied with Nie Zhaonan's attitude.

"Fellow Daoist Nie likes to practice hard behind closed doors, why don't you stay in Tianxing City for decades? Why take the risk to come to Xutian Palace?" Wan Tianming said with a hint of sarcasm on his face. The sarcasm in his words was not concealed at all, as if he looked down on Nie Zhaonan, a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Because Nie Zhaonan's Nascent Soul formation made such an astonishingly large movement, it can be said that all the Nascent Soul cultivators in the Chaos Star Sea have made a special effort to learn more about Nie Zhaonan, and Wan Tianming is naturally no exception.

"The things I want are in Xutian Palace, so I have to come." Nie Zhaonan shook his head and said with a sigh.

These words were not false at all, and when the cultivators heard them, they mostly believed them, as if there really was something extremely important to them in the Xutian Palace.

Some people were curious about what Nie Zhaonan wanted, but no one would think of the Xu Tian Ding.

As everyone knows, Nie Zhaonan is only a cultivator in the early Nascent Soul stage. No one believes that he has the ability to take out this treasure and take it for himself under the noses of several other Nascent Soul cultivators.

"Hmph!" Upon hearing this, Wan Tianming waved his sleeves vigorously and snorted coldly.

Suddenly, a rumbling sound came from outside the passage, and the entire hall began to tremble slightly.

At this moment, except for the Nascent Soul cultivator, all the cultivators looked outside in surprise.

The old man in the Confucian robe felt the movement and a hint of joy appeared on his face.

And a cold light flashed in Wan Tianming's eyes again.

The old Taoist priest and the old farmer seemed to know who the visitor was, but they showed a hint of worry.

As the vibration sound became louder and louder, an unusually tall figure appeared at the entrance of the hall.

A strange man with curly yellow beard and blue robe suddenly walked in. But every time he took a step, the whole hall shook, as if he weighed more than ten thousand pounds, which was really shocking.

Amidst everyone's astonished gazes, this strange man looked around the people in the hall as if he was alone. Finally, his gaze stopped on Wan Tianming and he laughed loudly.

"I didn't expect that Sect Master Wan would come here. It seems that I made the right decision to come here this time. I have always wanted to compete with Sect Master Wan. But unfortunately, I didn't have the chance. This time I can finally fulfill my wish." The strange man looked at the middle-aged man with provocative eyes.

"I have also long heard of Brother Man's 'Tian Tuo Jue', which is known as the best defensive magic skill in the Chaos Star Sea. I will definitely need to learn a thing or two from you later." Wan Tianming looked at the strange man coldly and replied without any fear.

"Hehe! No problem, no problem! I have also heard of Sect Master Wan's 'Tianluo Zhengong' for a long time." The weirdo grinned, not hiding the eagerness in his eyes at all.

But unfortunately, this Master Wan seems not to want to cause any trouble right now.

He whispered a few words to the old man like the jade Taoist and the farmer, and then the three of them flew to a jade pillar together.

Then the old Taoist and the monk on the jade pillar exchanged a few words with a smile on their faces. The old man who had reached the Jindan stage was flattered and immediately gave up the pillar and looked for another place.

When the strange man saw this, a sneer appeared on his face. He looked up and suddenly moved and flew towards a stone pillar next to the old man in Confucian robes.

"Get out! I take this place!" As soon as the huge figure of the weirdo stood firmly on the pillar, he immediately stared at a green-robed monk with his cold eyes and said in a icy voice.

The green-robed monk's expression suddenly turned ugly, but he was a brave man and would not suffer a loss. He jumped off the stone pillar without saying a word.

Then the strange man on the pillar began to laugh wildly and was extremely happy!

After the strange man's laughter died down, the old man in the Confucian robe asked with a smile on his face: "Brother Man, you came so late this time. I thought you changed your mind and didn't plan to come?"

"How could he not come? I was counting on picking longevity fruits to make the elixir of immortality! But I am quite surprised that Wan Tianming would come here this time." The weirdo touched the yellow beard on his chin and said with some confusion.

"The disciples of Wanfamen searched everywhere for the 'golden silkworm' a few years ago, but suddenly there was no news afterwards. It is very likely that Wan Tianming has already found this silkworm. With the help of this silkworm, Wan Tianming is very likely to set his sights on the Xutian Ding." Mrs. Wen on the side suddenly interrupted, subconsciously glanced at Wan Tianming and others, and told them some information she knew.

At this time, three Nascent Soul cultivators from the righteous path were sitting cross-legged on the pillars, and they seemed not to have heard their conversation at all.

"This is a bit tricky. If Wan Tianming really succeeds, the balance between our good and evil forces will definitely be broken." The old man in Confucian robes said with a worried look on his face.

Although no one knows the exact power of the Chaos Star Sea's most precious treasure, the Xutian Ding, placed in such an important place as the Xutian Palace, is definitely not comparable to top-level ancient treasures. The Xutian Ding is at least as powerful as a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, or even stronger.

Thinking of this, the old man in Confucian robe became even more worried.

"What does the situation between the good and evil forces have to do with me, Man? Liudao and Wan Sangu will go and discuss it." Man Huzi shook his head and said nonchalantly.

Then Barbarian Beard suddenly changed the subject and said, "But this Xutian Treasure Cauldron must not fall into the hands of righteous people."

After hearing this, Madam Wen's expression changed, but then returned to normal. However, she changed her plans for this trip in her mind. Originally, she did not intend to enter the inner hall, but only to collect some spiritual herbs in the outer hall and take them back.

At the moment, he had no choice but to go and monitor the movements of Wan Tianming and the others. After all, if only Man Huzi and Qing Yi monk entered the inner hall, they would be at a disadvantage with two against three.

Wan Tianming and the others on the other side remained silent and closed their eyes to rest. It was unknown whether the three of them were confident or had a plan in place.

Nie Zhaonan watched the performance of both the righteous and evil sides.

Because the conversation between Man Huzi and others was done through voice transmission, and because there were special restrictions in this place, even though Nie Zhaonan had a spiritual sense stronger than that of the late Nascent Soul stage, he still couldn't hear any of the conversation.

But seeing that they were looking at Wan Tianming and the others with unfriendly eyes, one could also guess that they were discussing countermeasures against Wan Tianming and the others.

Looking at the rather confusing situation between the two sides, Nie Zhaonan shook his head secretly. He couldn't tell whether there was a real conflict between the good and evil sides, or whether it was deliberately performed here for others to see, in order to cover up the fact that the two sides had formed an alliance.

However, regardless of whether he wanted to take the Xu Tian Ding into his possession this time or his identity as the deputy palace master of Xing Palace, there was no doubt that both sides were his enemies.

I simply stopped thinking about it.

A moment later, figures flashed outside the hall and two old men in white walked in.

The two men had hair and beards as white as snow, and their clothes fluttered in the wind, making them look like immortals.

Nie Zhaonan knew one of them, the old man named Zhao, whom he had met several times.

When the monks in the hall saw the two men come in, their eyes suddenly turned to them, but then their faces showed understanding and respect.

The kind-looking old man surnamed Zhao smiled slightly when he saw everyone looking at them, and said very kindly: "During this trip to Xutian Palace, because our two Saint Masters are in retreat and cannot come, so the two of us, the law enforcement elders, will represent Xing Palace to supervise this event."

The words did not reveal the news that the Twin Saints of Heavenly Star had come out of seclusion, but instead released a smoke bomb.

“And this treasure hunt.”

The old man surnamed Zhao's calm voice floated in the hall for a long time before he finished explaining the relevant rules.

Another old man in white swept his eyes like lightning over all the monks in the hall.

When the others saw this look, they lowered their heads and stepped back. Only Wan Tianming and Man Huzi looked at him directly and unceremoniously when they saw him looking at them.

This made the old man in white startled at first, and then he frowned, but there was no excessive worry on his face. According to the information they both got, Palace Master Nie also came to Xutian Palace.

Then he continued to look for Nie Zhaonan. When he saw Nie Zhaonan, the deputy palace master, he just nodded slightly and did not make any excessive moves to expose Nie Zhaonan's identity.

Then the two law enforcement elders of the Star Palace flew to the pillar where Nie Zhaonan was and sat down cross-legged.

The Nascent Soul cultivators of both the righteous and evil paths did not show any surprise when seeing this scene, and just sat cross-legged and refined their Qi.

"Palace Master Nie, the two saints have received a warning that the Anti-Star Alliance is about to take action, and have arranged all the countermeasures for the Star Palace." The old man named Zhao at the side suddenly said in a voice transmission.

Although no one knew where Nie Zhaonan got the news, the top leaders of Xinggong did not have any doubts.

"That's good." Nie Zhaonan replied indifferently.

"Why did they send two elders here?" Nie Zhaonan asked with some confusion.

Because in his memory, it was not just the two old men surnamed Zhao who presided over the treasure hunt in Xutian Palace, and the strength of these two people was also among the top in the entire Xing Palace.

Another old man in white explained, "This is the order of the two saints. They specially sent the two of us to assist the Palace Master. We should take this opportunity to kill some monks from both the righteous and evil paths in the inner hall, so as to reduce some pressure for the future war."

After saying this, the old man in white tilted his head and looked at Nie Zhaonan, waiting for a reply.

Here, both of them naturally had to obey Nie Zhaonan's arrangements.

Nie Zhaonan thought for a moment, and said in a calm tone: "There is no problem with this. I will find a time to take action after arriving at the inner hall. The two elders just need to act according to the circumstances." His words were unusually calm, without any hesitation.

After hearing this answer, the old man in white, who had never seen Nie Zhaonan's true strength with his own eyes, felt much more at ease.

The old man named Zhao on the side just smiled slightly. When this Palace Master had just condensed his Nascent Soul, his strength was no less than that of a great cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage. Now, after such a long period of training, his cultivation must have been greatly enhanced. He was not worried at all that there might be any accidents during this trip.

Time passed quickly and another three days passed. During these days, three or four new cultivators arrived, but no Nascent Soul cultivators arrived.

But on the morning of the fourth day, something strange happened.

After a series of roars, a white jade door fell at the entrance of the hall without any warning.

The door was covered in a white mist, and it was obvious that there was an extremely powerful restriction that sealed off the entire hall in an instant.

And there was also a loud noise coming from the palace gate in the distance, as if it was also closed by something extremely heavy.
