After returning to the village, start chasing the mountain from binding Emei

Chapter 852 The Power of the Mountain-Driving Whip, Attending the Gathering at Sipan Mountain!

Nie Liangyun glanced at the money on the table and took a deep breath.

Okay, for the sake of the money.

"You wait!"

He turned and went inside, as if he had made up his mind.

Chen Yang waited for a while before Nie Liangyun finally came out of the inner room, looking rather reluctant.

He was holding a long wooden box in his hands.

The peach wood box is about 1.5 meters long. Much of the black lacquer on it has peeled off, and two yellowed talismans are pasted on the seal.

Over the years, although the talisman is still pasted on, it has become rotten beyond recognition, and the writing on it has become blurred and illegible.

It's obvious at a glance that Nie Liangyun didn't take it very seriously.

He moved the money on the table aside and placed the box horizontally on the table.

"Whether it works out or not, are you sure you'll get all this money?" Nie Liangyun asked Chen Yang, looking up at him first.

"They're all yours. Now that I've brought them, there's no reason for me to take them away."

Chen Yang was both amused and exasperated. As the old saying goes, a leopard can't change its spots, and this old man was indeed very fond of money.

One million is no small sum.

With such a huge pile of things laid out in front of him, completely free, few people could resist the temptation. Nie Liangyun was just one of the many money-loving people among the masses.

This is why Chen Yang wanted to withdraw cash.

A direct transfer is just a string of numbers; how can it compare to the awe-inspiring sight of real cash in front of you?

Nie Liangyun hesitated for a moment, put the money into the cabinet first, and then carefully removed the seal on the box.

Chen Yang found it somewhat amusing, but remained calm and watched quietly.

The electric fan on the table was blowing loudly, and Nie Liangyun's forehead was covered with sweat. After a while, he managed to peel off the two talismans completely without tearing the seal.

She probably thought that after showing it to Chen Yang, she would have to put it back on later.

The box opens.

An iron whip appeared in front of Chen Yang.

The iron whip is over a meter long, completely black, straight, and has nine sections, all engraved with mysterious incantations.

It lay quietly in the box, its age unknown. Even with his divine eye, Chen Yang couldn't see any precious light; it seemed utterly ordinary.

"Can you get the hang of it?" Chen Yang asked.

Out of consideration for the one million, Nie Liangyun nodded slightly.

Let me show you, kid. What can you possibly figure out? When it's your turn to pay me, will you still be this calm?

He took out the iron whip and placed it in Chen Yang's hand.

Chen Yang took the iron whip, gripped the handle, and swung it a couple of times; it was quite easy for him.

My uncle described this thing as incredibly powerful on the phone, and he wanted to test its power, but the place was too small to use it effectively.

Nie Liangyun said, "This Mountain-Driving Whip is said to be the treasure held by the chief of the Mountain God lineage, the Lord of Mount Tai. When Yu the Great was controlling the floods, he used it to drive away the thousands of mountains that blocked his way. When the First Emperor swept across the six kingdoms, he used it to whip the mountain gods of various states..."

"Legend has it that it can unleash the power of thunder and divine punishment to whip all demons and monsters, and its power is even greater during thunderstorms. However, it is said that only cultivators skilled in thunder magic can unleash its full power..."

At this point, Nie Liangyun glanced at Chen Yang, "You don't know any thunder magic, so this Mountain-Moving Whip is useless to you..."

Before he could finish speaking, he saw Chen Yang activate the Thunder Vein and pour a small amount of thunder energy into the Mountain-Driving Whip.

"Zizi..."

The iron whip emitted an arc of light.

"what?"

Nie Liangyun was startled and quickly took a few steps back, almost knocking down the shelf behind him.

The escaping lightning energy in the air made his skin feel tingly, and his hair stood on end.

The old man's gaze fell on the iron whip in Chen Yang's hand, his face filled with fear, clearly terrified.

Chen Yang quickly withdrew the thunderous energy, and the iron whip soon returned to its original ordinary form.

"You brat, you know lightning magic?"

It took Nie Liangyun a while to react, and then he walked back to the table.

"I know a little bit about it, otherwise what use would I have for this thing?"

Chen Yang grinned, put the iron whip back into the box, closed the lid, and grabbed it in his hand. "Old Nie, thank you very much. I've already contacted the bank about the price you just mentioned, and it will be in my account soon."

Nie Liangyun's face twitched, and just as he was about to say something, his phone suddenly rang.

A message came in.

He picked it up and saw that it was a notification of an incoming transaction from a certain bank.

A string of zeros.

One billion!
Nie Liangyun was stunned. He had estimated that the guy couldn't even come up with 100 million, but this kid actually gave him 1 billion.

"Alright, Mr. Nie, we've settled the payment now. I'll take my leave. We'll discuss renewal when the three-year term is up." Chen Yang's voice brought Nie Liangyun back to reality.

"No, you're really giving it to me? So much money? You...you're not going to talk to your family about it?"

Nie Liangyun quickly said something.

This was the most expensive deal he had ever made in his life. He had been asking for an exorbitant price before, and he thought Chen Yang would back down, but he didn't expect him to actually pay.

Now that Chen Yang has actually paid the money, he feels a little guilty. He feels that he has tricked Chen Yang, and he wonders if Huang Daolin will come after him to demand an explanation when he finds out that he tricked Chen Yang out of such a large sum of money.
This involves the limitations of a person's perspective. Nie Liangyun is just an ordinary person. Although he has contact with Panshan Realm, he is not a member of Panshan Realm. He knows that the things passed down in his family must have some value.

Huang Daolin had reminded him more than once, but he didn't know how much these things were worth. He liked to squander money when he was young, and he sold off a lot of his ancestral property at a low price.

One billion. All the things he sold before combined probably didn't even amount to one percent of that amount.

No matter how amazing the legends surrounding this mountain-driving whip are, in Nie Liangyun's opinion, even if it were made of gold, it probably wouldn't be worth that much money.

One billion yuan is just for three years' rent.

Three years later, this thing will still be his. So, it seems that he was a little unfair and bullied the child.

Chen Yang seemed to see through his thoughts and immediately said, "Old Nie, we're both willing to give and take, so you can accept the money without any guilt..."

Nie Liangyun opened his mouth, prepared some words, but then swallowed them back.

"Ok."

Nie Liangyun gave a wry smile. "Why would I refuse money from a fool? Take it, take it!"

"Thank you."

Chen Yang smiled, tucked the box under his arm, and left Nie Liangyun's funeral parlor without hesitation.

Nie Liangyun watched him leave, standing there blankly for a long while.

He reached up and slapped his own face to make sure he wasn't dreaming.

After Chen Yang walked away, his mood calmed down. He turned around and went to the shrine by the wall, where he bowed to the ancestral tablets.

"Our ancestors, please forgive me this time. It's just that they gave me too much."

Nie Liangyun murmured to himself.

But I was comforting myself, thinking that I was just renting, not selling, and that I could return the items in three years.

……

-

Tianhua Zen Temple.

After obtaining the items, Chen Yang went directly to Emei.

In the backyard of Tianhua Temple, with a flick of Chen Yang's iron whip, an arc of light condensed into a sizzling whip shadow, instantly striking a boulder not far away.

"boom!"

The boulder seemed to have been struck by lightning, exploding into fine powder that scattered everywhere.

"So powerful?"

Chen Yang's gaze fell on the iron whip in his hand, his eyes filled with astonishment. He hadn't just injected much lightning energy, yet this iron whip amplified it to such power.

At this moment, Xuanjing and Huang Daolin walked over.

"This Mountain-Driving Whip was originally a divine weapon in the hands of the Mountain Lord of Mount Tai. Later, it was taken back to Shu by the last Mountain Lord, Zhao Quanzhen. After Zhao Quanzhen died, this iron whip was passed down in the lineage of Mountain Hermits. By chance, it fell into the hands of the Nie family. Nie Liangyun's grandfather was a Mountain Hermit of Sipan Mountain back then, but unfortunately he did not know thunder magic, so this iron whip could not exert its true power in his hands..."

"After Nie Shanyu died, there was no one to succeed him, and this iron whip was left to gather dust. Years ago, I was thinking of borrowing it to play with, but that old Nie was only interested in money and asked for an exorbitant price..."

……

Huang Daolin recounted the cause and effect.

Xuan Jing said, "I've lived this long, and I've only ever heard of it, never seen it. Although the rumors are often exaggerated, this thing is indeed incredibly powerful. It can draw upon the power of heavenly punishment and is extremely damaging to the primordial spirit. It's practically the nuclear weapon of the Panshan Realm. You must be extremely careful when using it. Treasures with such immense destructive power usually cause harm to the user as well..."

Huang Daolin nodded repeatedly, "Keep the things safe and don't use them unless absolutely necessary, especially in thunderstorms. Be extremely careful when using the Mountain-Driving Whip."

Nie Liangyun had also said that the Mountain-Driving Whip would be even more powerful in thunderstorms, but Chen Yang didn't know exactly how much more powerful it would be.

The greater the power, the greater the backlash; this is natural. Chen Yang had indeed felt the backlash from the iron whip just now, as the violent electric current simultaneously surged back into his meridians.

However, he had only used a small amount of lightning energy, so the backlash was negligible, and he quickly neutralized it by circulating his lightning magic. This is perhaps one of the reasons why one must know lightning magic to unleash the full power of this whip.

Chen Yang looked at the iron whip in his hand.

The Mountain-Driving Whip's abilities are somewhat similar to Ke Shaohua's Seven Star Peach Wood Sword; both can invoke the power of heavenly punishment, making them incredibly powerful.

Although the exact origin of the Seven Star Peach Wood Sword in Ke Shaohua's possession is unknown, based on Chen Yang's own experience, the Mountain-Driving Whip he holds is definitely of a higher level and has greater potential than the Seven Star Peach Wood Sword.

Unfortunately, there are no worthy opponents for him to use his skills, otherwise he would really like to test just how powerful this iron whip is, that it can be called the nuclear weapon of Panshan Realm.

"How much did Lao Nie rip you off?"

Chen Yang put the Mountain-Driving Whip into the box, and Huang Daolin's voice came from the side.

"One billion!" Chen Yang said.

"Uh……"

Huang Daolin paused upon hearing this, clearly quite surprised.

Hyun Jung was also somewhat surprised.

A billion yuan sounds like a lot, but if it were converted into cash, it would be enough to build a grave for that old man Nie Liangyun.

"That old bastard, he really knows how to talk back. I'll settle the score with him later," Huang Daolin cursed angrily.

Chen Yang said, "Uncle, money is just an external thing. Even if you have a lot of it, it's just a string of numbers. What I have in my hand now is something real. It's not a loss!"

Chen Yang doesn't care about the amount of money; he only feels pain when he can't get what he wants.

Even if Nie Liangyun had asked for a higher price, Chen Yang would still have definitely taken him on.

The mountain-driving whip is absolutely worth the price.

"See? This little guy is more easygoing than you." Xuan Jing smiled teasingly.

Huang Daolin shook his head helplessly.

Xuan Jing said to Chen Yang, "So being rich means you can do whatever you want, huh? Go find Yuan Long later and settle the repair costs for Lei Dong Pavilion."

Chen Yang looked embarrassed.

Just as I was about to say something, Yuanlong and Wang Yuanchao arrived in the backyard.

It's true what they say, speak of the devil and he appears.

The three of them stopped joking and looked at the two people.

Wang Yuanchao wouldn't come here easily; if he did, it must be for a reason.

Say hello.

Wang Yuanchao said, "Master, I need to talk to Chen Yang about something."

"It's alright, let's talk here," Chen Yang said.

Wang Yuanchao didn't say much, and directly said, "This morning, Li Xiulian, Miyako Moriyama Yuichi and others have already gone up Sipan Mountain. Our people dare not go up the mountain, so we don't know what the situation is on the mountain yet..."

Has it finally appeared?

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang's eyes flickered slightly.

Wang Yuanchao said, "Master Yu Huaizhen of the Qingshen Sect has arrived and is waiting at Baoguo Temple. In addition, Master Xuanqing is on his way back and should be able to reach Sipan Mountain to meet you before dark..."

Yu Huaizhen was contacted by Chen Yang via phone.

Since the opponent's strength was unclear, Chen Yang naturally wanted to recruit more allies. After thinking it over, Yu Huai was indeed a good choice.

It would be foolish not to use help when you have it.

Chen Yang simply told him that the woman who hurt Jingchen had been found, and Yu Huaizhen didn't hesitate at all, immediately putting everything aside and coming to Emei.

Adding Xuanqing should be enough.

As for Xuanjing, Emei cannot do without someone. Xuantong is in seclusion, and among the three great monks, only he is in charge. Since Xuanqing has gone, there is no need for him to go as well.

"Xiao Yang, be more careful and don't be reckless," Huang Daolin reminded him.

"Don't worry, Uncle."

Chen Yang nodded and immediately left with Wang Yuanchao.

……

-

At Baoguo Temple, Chen Yang met Yu Huaizhen. Yu Huaizhen inquired about the situation from him, and after lunch, he left Baoguo Temple and headed to Sipan Mountain.

Wang Yuanchao was driving.

“Master Xuanqing will arrive around six o’clock. Let’s wait for him in Fushuang Town first. You can go up the mountain after Master Xuanqing arrives.”

In the car, Wang Yuanchao told the two about the upcoming arrangements.

"That's fine, it's easier to do things at night."

Yu Huaizhen nodded slightly, "Be careful not to alert them, don't let them get away..."

"Don't worry, our people have been monitoring the area from the foot of the mountain. If they leave, we will report it immediately," Wang Yuanchao said.

Chen Yang shook his head. "That Moriyama Yuichi is manageable, but Li Xiulian knows earth magic. If she wants to escape, she'll be hard to catch, and your people can't monitor her..."

Yu Huaizhen frowned slightly. Dealing with a player who could escape by burrowing into the ground was indeed a bit difficult.

Wang Yuanchao said, "Don't underestimate this Moriyama Yuichi. His swordsmanship is extremely advanced. He can become the strongest national protector of the Dwarf Kingdom at the mid-stage of the Dao Zhen Realm. He is definitely not an ordinary person."

Chen Yang pondered.

"What are your thoughts?" Yu Huaizhen asked.

Chen Yang said, "After Master Xuanqing arrives, I'll go up the mountain alone first. They shouldn't have any intention of running away since they see me alone. I'll seize the opportunity and try to deal with Li Xiulian first. Senior Yu, you all wait for my signal before going up the mountain to deal with Moriyama Yuichi together..."

"This……"

Yu Huaizhen paused, "Won't this put you in danger?"

Chen Yang shook his head. "Even if I can't win, I won't lose my life. With my current strength, I can escape even if I can't win..."

He had originally planned to come alone, but he invited Yu Huaizhen and the others, which made him safer.

After thinking about it, the two realized that there didn't seem to be any better way.

If three Dao Realm experts attacked together, the opponent would probably run away long ago upon seeing this lineup.

With Elder Centipede and the little white snake by his side, Chen Yang's safety was not an issue. He had already planned that as soon as they met, he would use the Dragon Fang Flying Sword to kill Li Xiulian.

Even if you can't kill her, you should use the red rope to bind her and try your best to prevent her from escaping.

His main target was Li Xiulian. As for Moriyama Yuichi, whether he lived or died was irrelevant. Even if this person was strong, he would not confront him directly. Once Yu Huaizhen and Xuan Qing arrived, it should not be difficult to take him down.

……

"By the way, Elder Wang, what's the current situation with that Master Zhang from Mount Er'e?" Chen Yang thought of Zhang Zhixing.

This group of people made an appointment with Zhang Zhixing tonight; this old Taoist Zhang shouldn't come and join in the fun.

Wang Yuanchao said, "He's just a hermit. We've already explained the consequences to him. He'll inform us in advance if he wants to go down the mountain, otherwise we'll definitely cause him trouble. We also have surveillance at the foot of Er'e Mountain, so we'll know in advance if he goes down the mountain..."

"Ah."

Chen Yang didn't say anything more, squinted his eyes and rested for a while to conserve his energy.

……

After waiting in Fushuang Town until after six o'clock in the afternoon, Xuan Qing finally arrived. The group immediately headed towards Sipan Mountain without stopping.

Li Xiulian and the others had arranged to meet Zhang Laodao tonight. Since they hadn't seen Zhang Laodao, they shouldn't leave before dawn.

We arrived at the foot of Sipan Mountain.

As dusk fell, the moon quietly rose, under a clear blue sky, and the full moon on the fifteenth of the lunar month was exceptionally round.

As planned, Xuanqing and Yu Huaizhen waited at the foot of the mountain, while Chen Yang walked up the mountain path alone.

Chen Yang hadn't gone far when he turned back.

"What's wrong?" Wang Yuanchao asked, puzzled.

Chen Yang touched his forehead. "I suddenly thought of something. Old Wang, could you double-check the situation at Er'e Mountain?"

"What's wrong?" Wang Yuanchao asked.

Chen Yang's expression was grave. "I'm thinking, if there's no special reason for Sipan Mountain to be here, they wouldn't need to meet with Master Zhang here. If I were them, I would probably go directly to Er'e Mountain..."

"This……"

Upon hearing this, all three of them changed their expressions slightly.

What Chen Yang said is not without possibility.

These past few days, the association has been monitoring the movements of these people. With their strength, how could they be completely unaware?
Furthermore, if they have been in contact with the monks of the Dharma-ending Age, and they haven't been able to reach them for the past few days, wouldn't they suspect something is wrong?

If they already knew about the arrangements here, could they use a feint to their advantage and attack from the opposite direction?

"I hope I'm just overthinking it."

Now that they've arrived, they still need to go up the mountain and take a look, proceeding according to the original plan.

Chen Yang left a message and then strolled up the mountain again.
