Who let him join the Sword Sect!

Chapter 486 Zhang Ze will not die from the woodcutter's knife, but may be crippled by the flying sword.
Fucheng is quiet today.

The sacred tree returned to its usual golden color, and all the guests from the Eastern Continent departed. Everything was as usual, as if nothing had changed.

Of course, this is only an assumption.

As a crucial peripheral figure in the entire incident, Dydromala has undergone some changes.

At this moment, Lao Di was wearing a tall hat with the words "I was wrong, I shouldn't have disrespected the sacred tree" written on it, and his pointed head was sitting in a recliner on his own balcony.

Although she was being accused of being a hater, she was actually in a pretty good mood.

After all, he had caused such a big incident, using the sacred tree as a lantern, and yet he only received a double beating from his parents. Lao Di felt it was all worth it.

They'll do it again next time.

While rubbing the little rotten princess in her arms who was eating snacks, she thought about the important things that had recently come up.

About that secret realm of mountains and seas beneath the sacred tree.

Although most of the dragons from the mountains and seas have left, the area has not been completely abandoned.

Leaving aside the fact that the Fear Saint and that disciple named Lin Feng are still inside, the existence of that secret realm alone is practically priceless.

The people from the Beast Taming Sect and Medicine King Valley are quite interested in that place.

To this end, the two companies have reached a cooperation agreement with the Sacred Tree Department and are preparing to find a way to make access to it a regular practice.

After being beaten, Dizhuomala learned the general outline of this method from her parents.

Two proposals have been put forward.

One method is to use the Stone Pill Summoning Array as a medium to achieve the goal of traversing between mountains and seas and the four continents through repeated summoning.

Incidentally, you can also exploit bugs to enhance the physique of this repeatedly summoned character.

However, this method has one problem: it is too specialized.

There are actually very few people who meet this condition; at most, they could be counted on one hand.

However, if they want to transport large quantities of supplies and personnel, Zhang Ze and A Li must work together.

But these two clearly have more important things to do, so having them act as elevators here is somewhat of a waste of their talents.

The second option is relatively universal.

If successful, anyone could travel between these two realms.

His second plan was to recreate the process of Ah Li and Lin Feng's first accidental entry into the Mountain and Sea Secret Realm.

But instead of using that middle finger, it uses Ah Li's 'remains,' that carriage from the Amber Civilization.

The first step of the plan is to set up an entrance in Fucheng, and the carriages will be pulled down along the sea by the sacred tree until they reach the vicinity of the Mountain and Sea Secret Realm.

At the same time, the sacred tree will insert a section of its root into the Mountain and Sea Secret Realm, like a plug, to ensure that the interior space is not eroded by the earth and sea.

After the carriage 'dives' to the vicinity of the Mountain and Sea Secret Realm, it will enter this root and then be teleported into the Mountain and Sea Secret Realm by the root.

Although it is somewhat troublesome, it can ensure the stability of the Mountain and Sea Secret Realm to the greatest extent.

Besides, this method has almost no cost.

Everything needed is readily available.

The biggest expense is probably all the oil used in the ritual of calling upon the sacred tree before each trip, and the necessary squatting.

However, while the principle is sound, there is still a crucial problem regarding this solution that remains unresolved.

That is, how to prevent fire, theft, and Qin Lang.

On this issue, the Sacred Tree Department remained adamant, while the mother-in-law stated that everything else was open for discussion.

In response, the Beast Taming Sect suggested that the people from Medicine King Valley should go home and stay put.

The Beast Taming Sect will handle any necessary experiments or the cultivation of spiritual plants.

However, this suggestion was immediately rejected by Medicine King Valley, who said, "Give us some more time."

They plan to go back and do some research, and consider getting a new valley leader.

Solve the problem at its most fundamental level.

Besides this, there is another matter that is also related to this mysterious mountain and sea realm.

Or to be more precise, this matter is related to the cultivation methods of those mountain and sea dragons.

Because the Mountain and Sea Secret Realm is closed, the cultivation methods of the Mountain and Sea Dragon are quite distorted to some extent.

Regardless of which family's tradition it is, physical exercise and frugality are fundamental.

Therefore, after they arrived at the four continents, which were rich in resources and spiritual energy, they swam into the rivers like lungfish.

They demonstrated the true limits of the physical body.

After being nourished by abundant spiritual energy, their physical strength became several times greater than that of body cultivators of the same level.

At the same time, even after their spiritual energy is exhausted, they can maintain their peak condition for a long time.

[Muscle Magic]

This is the temporary name given to this method by the practitioners of the Six Schools.

It's impossible not to be tempted by this move, even among barbarians.

They also wanted to try to sense or use spiritual energy in a completely unconscious state by practicing the Mountain and Sea Dragon's [Muscle Immortal Technique].

Therefore, because of this incident, these dragons from the mountains and seas suddenly became highly sought after.

They are no longer simply outsiders.

There was a second-rate body cultivation sect that went to great lengths to be the first to uncover the secret of this "Muscle Immortal Technique."

This sect leader began sweeping reforms.

Are those dragons from the mountains and seas large in size?
It doesn’t matter!
We'll just dig up the road, demolish the mountain gate, and rebuild everything.

Does the dragon of mountains and seas eat a lot?
That's alright, being able to eat is a blessing.

Let's raise more pigs, and give up all the unused cave dwellings of the sect elders to raise pigs.

Even fairies who have nothing to do shouldn't water flowers; if they're in love, they should all go raise pigs.

Outer disciples receive ten piglets each month, which are delivered at the end of the month. The pig-raising king is praised by the entire sect.

We also recruit those with exceptional culinary skills. Those who pass the test will be directly promoted to top-level chefs and enjoy the same benefits as inner disciples.

In short, we must ensure that the dragons of the mountains and seas feel our utmost care and carry out the concept of "one family across the four continents" to the end.

However, the dragons of the mountains and seas did not feel any displeasure in the face of various forms of probing and seduction.

On the contrary, they are actually quite happy to share these methods.

The reason is quite simple: it's just to repay a favor.

Not to mention the debt they owe Zhang Ze, this 'saint,' is one they can never fully repay.

They themselves are very clear about their own positioning: they are tenants staying in Four Continents.

Since you're a tenant, paying rent is a matter of course, nothing to be ashamed of.

Thinking about these seemingly serious yet absurd things, Lao Di thought to himself, "This little walnut is really good."

Information that used to require buying from the black market can now be mostly known just by looking at a small walnut.

She took a delicious sip of the black tea that Li Yueqi had given her, then gently rubbed the little bastard's cheek in her arms, remarking that life was wonderful.

But good times are always fleeting.

As she was enjoying her tea and the scenery, she suddenly felt a tremor around her. Just as she was thinking it was an earthquake or the sacred tree was being revived, a golden lotus appeared in front of her.

The golden light was dazzling, and Zhang Ze, Xiangxiang, and Chen Qin jumped out from inside.

The three of them, with their backs to Lao Di, stretched lazily in front of the window, along with Xiao Fu Ji who had joined in the fun, while looking at the sunset.

Their movements were perfectly synchronized, completely obscuring the view outside the balcony.

Lao Di, “.”

Smelling the cloying, saccharine scent of romance, Lao Di covered his nose in disgust.

"Why are you still here?" she asked.

At the same time, Fu Ji, who had just been stretching, immediately jumped back to Lao Di's side, put her hands on her hips, and asked.

Why are you still here?

Why can't we?

Zhang Ze turned around, pinched an air cup, picked up the teapot on the table, and poured himself a cup of tea as if they were old friends.

"Because this is my home!"

Lao Di covered her forehead, but just as she was about to kick this abnormal family out, she suddenly remembered something.

Lao Di stopped chasing them away and instead led them inside.

Then he locked the balcony door, drew the curtains, and placed a stone with a human face carved on it in the east.
After bustling around in a mystical manner, she finally asked the three of them to sit down and served them tea again.

"Xiao Di, what are you doing?"

Having regained her physical body and been nourished, Xiangxiang leaned limply against Zhang Ze, looking at Dizhuomala with curiosity.

Lao Di raised his wrist, looked at the small walnut that Xiang Xiang had given him a while ago, and said in a serious tone, "I'm trading."

"What kind of trading?"

"When is your man going back to the Sword Sect?"

"?"

As he spoke, Lao Di awkwardly manipulated the device a couple of times, displaying the image on the small walnut.

A very cool page, with pictures that are ethereal and misty, with a fairy pavilion faintly visible between the narrow gaps in the sky.

Judging from the background, it should be a scenic photo of the Sword Sect's main hall.

Amidst these mountains and clouds, a tiny figure, flying on a sword, buzzed around like a fly.

The little figure is a mouse skin that Lao Di bought. Although she doesn't know why a small arrow-shaped indicator is called a mouse.

But none of that matters, as long as it's fun.

As Lao Di manipulated the page, which resembled the 'Sword Sect Official Website,' the fog dissipated, and a bunch of voting options appeared.

Zhang Ze stared at the page for a moment, stunned.

Xiangxiang looked at Zhang Ze with concern.

The junior sister scoffed, then let out a strange laugh.

While laughing strangely, he pretended to massage Zhang Ze's skin, doing everything he could to be sarcastic and bizarre.

The additional options on the page were countdown timers, betting icons, and odds.

When will Zhang Ze return to the Sword Sect?

How long will Zhang Ze hide outside?

[Zhang Ze will be stabbed several times when he gets home.]

[Was Zhang Ze severely injured, or was he cut in two with a single sword strike?]

It's all about gambling and betting odds.

What was being gambled on was actually one thing, and a series of problems arising from it.

Besides the betting odds mentioned above, there's also the question of how long Zhang Ze can withstand the sword of Mo Jingchun, the matriarch of the Sword Sect.

After the ordeal was over, we were covered with a small blanket, heard the suona horn, and ate a small meal.

I'll just stay in bed paralyzed for a few more years.

Or will he simply flee, or face the storm head-on?

If they were to flee, where would they go?

There are odds available for almost every possibility, and quite a few people are betting on it.

I don't know if it's because everyone is too rich, or if they really care about Mr. Zhang's safety.

Moreover, this Sword Sect 'official website' is more like an 'internal network' than an 'official website'.

Only core members of the Thousand Machines Pavilion, inner disciples of the Sword Sect, or special users like Lao Di can log in.

However, given the abnormal number of bets, it was clear that some of them were placed on behalf of friends.

Zhang Ze went through the hundred ways he could die, then wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, somewhat puzzled.

"How was this exposed?"

It wasn't that he was afraid to admit his actions, but he just didn't expect the matter to be exposed so quickly.

Shouldn't it?

Could it be...? Zhang Ze looked at Di Zhuomala.

Lao Di put his hands in his pockets, sat back in his rocking chair, and hugged the Tai Sui pillow, replying with great satisfaction.

"It wasn't me who said it, it was Miss Li Yueqi. She accidentally let it slip on her way home, and that little girl named Lily found out, and that's how it happened."

Zhang Ze, “.”

No wonder, this makes all the sense now.

Moreover, he had reason to suspect that Lily intended to use this incident to kill him and then bring the Thousand Machine Pavilion under her control.

Their intentions are absolutely despicable.

The junior sister leaned her head on Zhang Ze's shoulder in a cheeky manner, wrapped her arms around his, opened her Little Walnut app, entered the page, and placed a bet with her own pocket money.

"Oh dear, brother, what should we do? Should I go home first and plead for you?"

"Brother, you have such delicate skin. What if you hurt it? Your sister will cry."

"Brother, why aren't you saying anything? Are you scared?"

"If you're scared, come to your little sister's arms. Come here, sweetie, let your little sister hug you. Burying your face in her arms will cure all your ailments."

Lao Di coughed lightly as he listened to these eerie and strange words, "Um, I'm still here, please be careful."

"I'm still here! Pay attention!" Little Fuji said, 'covering' her eyes with her fingers spread wide apart.

The junior sister smiled awkwardly at Lao Di, then switched to using telepathy to torment Zhang Ze.

Compared to her junior sister's gloating, Xiangxiang's suggestion was quite constructive.

However, their motives were far from pure.

She leaned closer, grabbed Zhang Ze's arm, and shook it gently.

"Don't be afraid. Why don't you come back to the North with me? The North is my territory."

"The new Baidi City has been built, and it's all yours. My sister Wang is also one of the most invincible people in the world. Come with me there, and no one can hurt you."

"Let's live a good life together when we get there."

The concern expressed in their words was genuine, but the abacus beads had already landed on everyone's faces.

The junior sister glared at Xiangxiang, then quickly tightened her grip on Zhang Ze's arm and rubbed it against him.

"Don't go! It's cold up north. What if you catch a cold?"
"Come home with me, and I'll plead for you."

"Don't worry, you won't be hurt too badly. Even if you are, I'll take care of you!"

The junior sister, whose elbows were already completely siding with outsiders, said.

Xiangxiang said, "Come back to the Northern Territory with me. We'll move the Thousand Machine Pavilion there too."

As the gentle embrace from both sides grew stronger, Zhang Ze calmed down. He pulled his arms out of the embrace on both sides, and judging from his expression, he had probably made up his mind.

Zhang Ze: "Don't panic, I said don't panic. I have a plan."

"So, senior brother, where are you going to run off to? Or maybe you should hide in the Mountain and Sea Secret Realm for a couple of years?"

The junior sister still cares about her senior brother after all, saying that running away is shameful, but it really works.

But Zhang Ze shook his head, "We're not hiding anywhere, we're going straight home."

"Aren't you afraid of death?" The junior sister, who was a rebellious son, shrank back. She was afraid, but she didn't know what she was afraid of.

"What can I do if I'm scared? What's done is done. I can't hide forever," Zhang Ze said. "Besides, I might not even get beaten up."

"?" Xiangxiang nudged him. "You're not going to do something like Nezha and die to prove your point, are you?"
"He turns into lotus root starch, you turn into stone, and then let's start over?"

Zhang Ze said, "There's no need for such bloodshed. Don't worry, I've already made a plan. Just come home with me."

Xiangxiang, “.”

————Lily's mischief is 40% complete————

In Qianji Town, the weather was fine and sunny.

Although there have been many missions recently flowing out of the Six Sects and Thousand Machine Pavilion, the number of street hustlers in Thousand Machine Town has decreased significantly, but new street hustlers have filled this gap well.

Because of the influence of the Earth Sea, those so-called cultivation geniuses of the past, starting this year, have sprung up in all sorts of strange places like wild leeks by the roadside.

One crop after another.

The town of Qianji had been imprinted in their hearts like a legend ever since they first set foot in the world of cultivation.

Therefore, whether they are rich or poor, they all have to come to Qianji Town, check in, and make a pilgrimage to show that they have been there.

It's like a coming-of-age ceremony.

In the past few days, whether it was those day-to-day cultivators who worked one day and played three, or wild cultivators who were just starting out and had clear but foolish eyes, they were all paying attention to the latest gossip.

Gossip about a certain scumbag.

It's incredibly exciting, even more exciting than the exciting Elephant Tribe.

Second floor of Qianjige Dining Hall.

Li Yueqi looked at the newspaper in her hand and sighed, "Well, serves you right. You'll be lucky to escape with your life."

"Fortunately, I am wise and capable, and I never got involved in the first place."

"sorrow."

Putting away the newspaper, Li Yueqi snapped her fingers and summoned a soul cultivator who worked in the cafeteria. "Two more, or ten buckets, please."

In front of her, Hei Qu and Ma Mao were eating voraciously.

Heiqu is because he needs to supplement his nutrition in order to take the college entrance examination.

As for Mao Mao, it was because Lili said she was going to do something big that she entrusted it to Li Yueqi for foster care.

As for why Li Yueqi was here, it was simply because she was bored.

The original plan was for the whole family to go on a happy trip together, but I didn't expect that as soon as we got back, my younger brother told me that he had already won over both of my parents.

His own father was captured and brought to justice by his own grandfather, and now he is being forced to learn how to be a good person again and how to be a responsible person.

As for his mother, the situation was somewhat complicated.

It seems they were invited back to Medicine King Valley to discuss changing the valley master. If his mother agrees, he'll immediately be crowned the new master.
Li Yueqi felt exhausted by all of this; she didn't understand it, and she didn't want to understand it.

In her opinion, raising a dog is easier.

However, just as she was about to reach out and pet her beloved Hei Qu and Mao Mao, a familiar figure appeared beside Mao Mao.

It appeared suddenly.

Zhang Ze stood there, reaching out to stroke Mao Mao.

Upon seeing that it was Zhang Ze alive, Li Yueqi immediately took several steps back and, without thinking, adopted a defensive stance.

Before Zhang Ze could ask, she spoke up.

"It's nothing, I just don't want to get splattered with blood."

At the same time, a terrifying pressure enveloped the entire Thousand Machine Pavilion dining hall.
