Xiuxian: I studied abroad in modern times

Chapter 579 Each with their own ulterior motives (First update)
The eight Nascent Soul cultivators of the Lu Clan surrounded Zheng Fa, while the Creation Daoist and others stood aside, saying nothing.

Everyone was staring at his expression, seemingly waiting for him to back down.

Zheng Fa looked around, but all he received were indifferent glances. He knew that these people all wanted to learn this ancient language to compete for the Primordial Purple Qi, but he still shook his head: "I cannot pass it on to you."

The Lu Clan's Grand Elder's eyes turned cold, and a golden arrow materialized from the longbow in his hand, pointing directly at Zheng Fa.

The heat was intense, but Zheng Fa did not yield an inch. The Jade Tablet of Creation transformed into the shape of the Sun-Shooting Bow, and he drew the string with his right hand, facing it from afar.

The lights inside the hall flickered, and the temperature soared.

"Are you really willing to suffer a lose-lose situation?"

The Grand Elder of the Lu Clan shouted.

"You chose a lose-lose situation." Zheng Yu's tone was even colder, his face showing an unyielding toughness.

His uncompromising response left the Lu Clan's Grand Elder feeling rather awkward.

Zheng Fa, seizing the opportunity, shouted, "Everyone who has entered the Nine Luminaries Heaven has different cultivation levels and treasures. Everyone relies on their own methods. Do you think I, Shi Nandang, can't see what you're all up to?"

The Creation Daoist and the others exchanged glances as they looked at Zheng Fa's tall and straight figure, but remained silent.

Zheng Fa sneered, ignoring everything else, and his spiritual energy surged wildly into the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow. The bow flashed with dazzling light, and a golden stream of fire was about to leave the bowstring.

"Alright!" Daoist Creation finally spoke, waving his right hand as his whisk traced an arc before resting on Zheng Fa's Sun-Shooting Bow. He looked at Zheng Fa with a forced smile and advised, "Fellow Daoist Shi, why are you so impulsive? If you are unwilling, we will not force you. Why ruin the harmony?"

His words brought a sigh of relief to the others.

The God of Gu looked at Zheng Fa, his expression saying three words: "Are you crazy?"

Zheng Fa scoffed inwardly. These people had been silent just now, only trying to push him. But if he really wanted to overturn the table, they wouldn't dare, especially... the Daoist of Creation.

Zheng Fa had a general idea of ​​what the Primordial Purple Qi was, but others might not know. However, the Daoist of Creation might not—he knew far too much.

Therefore, if he doesn't teach them the ancient language, they might lose the chance to obtain the Primordial Purple Qi. However, if he fights with these eight Lu people and the Nine Luminaries Illusionary Realm is destroyed, they will definitely miss out on the Primordial Purple Qi.

He refused to believe that the Three Demon Ancestors of Creation, who had hidden in the Nine Luminaries Heaven for an entire era and waited for so many years, would simply allow this illusion to crumble.

Sure enough, the Daoist of Creation couldn't resist.

The Lu Clan's Grand Elder wanted to speak, but the Creation Daoist snorted, "Fellow Daoist Shi is right, each according to their own methods."

"Can……"

"I have been entrusted by Fellow Daoist Lu Yao to wait in the Nine Luminaries Heaven for so many years," the Daoist of Creation said quietly. "I do not care who obtains the Primordial Purple Qi, but whoever lets the Primordial Purple Qi escape, preventing Fellow Daoist Lu Yao from obtaining this treasure..."

Before he could finish speaking, the whisk in his hand suddenly grew a hundred times larger, and hundreds of whisk strands transformed into countless thick white pythons, flicking their tongues at Zheng Fa and the others.

Light from outside shone through the door, casting the figure of the Creation Daoist on the ground and creating a shadow that covered half of the hall. Within this shadow was a kind of darkness that seemed to devour people, sending chills down one's spine.

The eight members of the Lu clan had cold sweat on their foreheads and their lips were all pale, but none of them dared to speak.

Zheng Fa felt as if the shadow was gaping wide open at him.

The terror seemed to vanish in an instant. The scenery before his eyes blurred, and all that remained was the kind smile of the Creation Daoist: "As I said, we are all family. Fellow Daoist Shi's ability to understand the local language is of great benefit to us. If we can obtain the Primordial Purple Qi in the future, it will be an even greater achievement. You have all listened to the Dao for many days, and I'm sure you have worked hard."

"Gentle breeze, bright moon!" "Master."

Two young Taoist boys entered the main hall, and the Creation Taoist instructed them: "Take these distinguished guests to their guest rooms to rest, and be sure not to neglect them."

"Yes!"

Qingfeng and Mingyue seemed to have some insight, able to discern who had deep conflicts with whom and who had some subtle connections with whom.

Qingfeng first led the Gu God, the eight members of the Lu Clan, and the White Bone Demon Ancestor away.

Mingyue walked up to Zheng Fa, then looked at the White Lotus Monk and the Golden-Winged Roc, and asked with a smile, "Three distinguished guests, please follow me."

Bai Lian and the Golden-Winged Roc exchanged a glance and followed Mingyue outside, with Zheng Fa following behind.

The four of them didn't talk much along the way. Only Bai Lian softly chanted Buddhist mantras, while the Golden-Winged Roc kept glancing at Zheng Fa out of the corner of his eye.

When they arrived at a guest courtyard, Mingyue stopped first and pointed inside, saying, "Master said that this place is quiet and secluded, perfect for the White Lotus Monk to meditate and practice Zen."

The white-lotus monk glanced inside, smiled and nodded, saying, "This place is excellent. Thank you for your kindness, benefactor."

Zheng Fa glanced around and saw that the place was indeed filled with ancient trees, and the scent of sandalwood seemed to waft from the courtyard.

Mingyue then settled the Golden-Winged Roc in a secluded courtyard near the mountain peak. With Zheng Fa, they walked for a long time, passing through a small path, before arriving at an extremely quiet courtyard.

“Master Shi, the master said that you can stay here.”

Zheng Fa looked at the secluded courtyard and the solemn ancient trees around him, and nodded slightly. Then Mingyue suddenly said, "Master asked me to remind you that you have offended many people today. In the future, it is best to stay in the Taoist temple and not go out easily."

Zheng Fa couldn't help but look at Mingyue. The little girl had rosy lips and white teeth, and still had obvious baby fat. Looking at his face, she had an innocent smile.

“If you leave this Taoist temple, the master… may not be able to protect you.”

The tone of his voice didn't sound like that of a child; instead, it carried a deep-seated malice.

Zheng Fa looked at the bright moon, but some questions remained unasked:

Is this a warning not to go out, or is it that I'm not allowed to go out at all?

Is it that he can't protect me, or... will he also attack me?

Looking at the strange look in Mingyue's innocent face, Zheng Fa turned his head, glanced behind him, and remained silent for a long time before smiling and replying, "I understand."

Upon hearing Zheng Fa's reply, Mingyue nodded happily, looking like she was a good girl. She skipped and hopped towards the door, muttering to herself, "You'll be fine as long as you stay in the Five Organs Temple."

"What view?" Zheng Fa was taken aback and asked.

“The five internal organs, the five internal organs, the five internal organs of the five viscera and six bowels.” Mingyue stood at the end of the path, turned around, and answered earnestly, as if she were teaching Zheng Fa to recognize characters.

The green shadows of the leaves fell on her face, casting a greenish light and shadow over her eyes as she looked at Zheng Fa, like a starving wolf cub.

Zheng Fa watched the bright moon leave, then looked up at the sky and saw that the trees in the Five Viscera Observation were all so tall they seemed to reach into the clouds.

The trees grew branches and leaves, forming a cage that shattered the sky.
