The Legend of the Condor Heroes: From Being Expelled from Peach Blossom Island

Chapter 219 Visiting
The next morning, the Quanzhen Taoist priests had just finished their morning prayers, and those who needed to sweep were sweeping, and those who needed to eat vegetarian food were eating vegetarian food.

A few young Taoist priests suddenly ran over, frantically looking for the Taoist priest in charge of them.

"Uncle-Master Xuanyang, something terrible has happened! Zhiqing, Wan Zhiqing has disappeared."

Xuan Yang was a little panicked. Several of the Seven Masters of Quanzhen had high hopes for Wan Zhiqing, and he was destined to become a direct disciple of the Quanzhen Sect. In the future, he would be in a much higher position than Xuan Yang, the steward. Ma Yu had even asked Xuan Yang to take good care of him. How could he have suddenly disappeared?

"Didn't you search the area properly?"

“We looked for him. He went out in the middle of the night last night. I thought he was just getting up to use the bathroom, so I didn’t think much of it and went back to sleep. But when I woke up this morning, he was still nowhere to be found, and the bedding was cold. We searched everywhere just now, but we still couldn’t find him, so we came to look for you.”

"Oh no, something must have happened. You all continue searching, I'll go report to the Sect Leader."

Xuan Yang hadn't taken more than a few steps when he heard a voice, seemingly without any force, yet every word was clearly audible, directly covering the entire Chongyang Palace.

"Wu Chengyu, an unknown figure in the martial arts world, has been invited to Chongyang Palace to learn the ultimate martial arts of Quanzhen Sect."

The sounds echoed back and forth in the Zhongnan Mountains, startling many birds in the forest and waking up wild beasts that were hunting at night and preparing to sleep. For a time, the mountains and forests were filled with birdsong, animal roars, and countless curses.

At that moment, the Seven Masters of Quanzhen were discussing matters in the main hall of Chongyang Palace, and they were greatly surprised to hear Wu Chengyu's voice.

Ma Yu, standing in the center, turned to look at Qiu Chuji.

"Is this the young man you were talking about? What skill! He really has reached the level of microscopic perception at such a young age?"

It's not that I don't believe you, but it's just too shocking. We've wasted decades, and we're still just one step away from the finish line, or even unable to cross it in this lifetime.

"Now it seems that this young man's internal strength is extremely profound, almost catching up with ours. No wonder he dared to challenge the Heavenly Dipper Formation."

Qiu Chuji stroked his beard and said, "Internal strength is accumulated day by day. He has only practiced martial arts for a few years. Even if he is a genius, he cannot catch up with us immediately."

But reaching the realm of subtlety is something I've personally experienced, and I'm absolutely certain of it. This level depends on talent, temperament, and opportunity, and has nothing to do with age.

Moreover, his internal strength is still inferior to ours, but his arm strength is extremely strong. However, he is thin and does not look like someone who practices external martial arts. On that day, he was careless and actually bent my sword with a punch. This is enough to make up for the lack of internal strength. We must be careful when fighting him.

But he arrived too early; he has no chance of passing through our Heavenly Dipper Formation for at least the next twenty years.

Qiu Chuji thought he had overestimated Wu Chengyu's strength as much as possible, but little did he know that Wu Chengyu was using him as a touchstone that day.

Wu Chengyu possessed exceptional martial arts skills, the strongest of which were his unparalleled lightness skill, immense strength, and the divine skill "Dou Zhuan Xing Yi," which was different from the martial arts of this era.

In their encounter a month ago, Qiu Chuji didn't use any of his lightness skills or the "Shifting Stars" technique, and he only used half of his physical strength. If he had gone all out, even if Qiu Chuji had stronger internal energy, he wouldn't have lasted more than ten moves against Wu Chengyu.

Wang Chuyi, who had been silent until now, suddenly interjected, "Is he really not yet twenty? If so, we should keep him in Chongyang Palace forever now, otherwise he will surely be a great enemy of Chongyang Palace." Sun Bu'er said in a muffled voice, "What Senior Brother Wang said is exactly what I want. Let's see him get entangled with the Eastern Heretic's disciple. Who knows if it's good or bad? We don't need to hold back later."

Just as Qiu Chuji was about to refute this, Ma Yu shook his head and said...

"He made an agreement with Junior Brother Qiu to come to his door for a fair and square sparring match. We are all cultivators, how could we have such delusions? Our Quanzhen Sect is not a place that cannot tolerate these geniuses, and besides, there is no need to make enemies."

Fellow disciples, since we are the hosts, we should at least greet our guest. Judging by the time, he should be arriving at Chongyang Palace soon.

As soon as he finished speaking, Ma Yu stood up first and led the other six men out of the main hall.

Wu Chengyu shouted this at the foot of the mountain. In his previous life, he read martial arts novels, and those masters would do the same thing when they went to other sects. This time, he followed suit and really found the atmosphere that the martial arts world should have.

However, this shout requires extremely high internal strength, especially the ability to control it. He had not specifically practiced sonic techniques, but had only studied them slightly. In the Jin-style martial arts, sonic techniques, besides the Azure Sea Tide Song, include the Ghostly Wind Howl in the Nine Yin Manual and the Soul Searching Transmission Technique of the Free and Unfettered Sect.

Among the martial arts collected by the Murong family is the Seven-String Invisible Sword. Huang Zhonggong, who later became the most powerful man in the world, inherited it and improved it himself. The current Seven-String Invisible Sword can hardly be considered a unique skill.

The Ghost Prison Wind Howl is in the second volume of the Nine Yin Manual. Wu Chengyu's roar is an application of sound and internal force in the Ghost Prison Wind Howl and the Seven-String Invisible Sword. Otherwise, relying solely on internal force to shout would not have such an effect.

Wu Chengyu had previously postponed his training in sonic martial arts, but now he felt it was necessary to put it back on the agenda.

After shouting, Wu Chengyu carried one person in each hand and used the Crane Shadow Flowing Light technique to quickly climb the mountain path. By the time the echoes in the mountains gradually dissipated, he had arrived at the gate of Chongyang Palace, where the Seven Masters of Quanzhen were already waiting.

"Haha, greetings, Master Qiu. I've met you all, but I'm already holding the grand gift for the Quanzhen Sect in both hands, so I can't offer any more greetings."

Wu Chengyu was holding the two men by their belts, and they were both upside down. The Seven Masters of Quanzhen were puzzled, especially since one of them was dressed like a junior Taoist priest of the Quanzhen Sect. They wondered what Wu Chengyu was up to.

Suddenly, a large, fat Taoist priest rushed over from the side. He was wearing a multicolored Taoist robe and shouted when he saw the little Taoist priest in Wu Chengyu's hand.

"It is Zhiqing, Wan Zhiqing. Reporting to the Sect Leader, Wan Zhiqing disappeared without cause last night and was only discovered this morning. I was just about to report to the Sect Leader that this person actually kidnapped a disciple of my Quanzhen Sect before coming up the mountain, and must have ulterior motives."

Ma Yu finally recognized the young Taoist priest in Wu Chengyu's hands. This was already his chosen disciple. Anyone else would have immediately made trouble, but Ma Yu had been practicing Taoism for many years and had a very deep understanding of meditation. At this moment, his expression was completely normal. Instead, he bowed and said...

"I am Ma Yu, the current head of the Quanzhen Sect. I have long heard from Junior Brother Qiu that a young talent is coming to my Chongyang Palace to exchange martial arts skills. We have been waiting for a long time. Today, I see that you are indeed extraordinary."

"I just don't understand what you mean by this, benefactor. The young Taoist priest in your hand is named Wan Zhiqing, a disciple of my Quanzhen Sect. I don't know why he has offended you."

Wu Chengyu lifted the little Taoist priest he was holding in his left hand and said, "This little Taoist priest is not only called Wan Zhiqing. He also has a secular name, Wanyan Qing. I wonder if Master Ma knows this."
