Tumor Sword Immortal

Chapter 307 A Series of Events
This Taoist priest surnamed Liang had already risen into the air and had nowhere to borrow strength.

At this moment, a sharp pain made it even harder for him to maintain his balance. Pei Xia pulled him away and threw him to the ground.

The Taoist priest knew he was being shameful.

But in that brief exchange, he realized that this young man from the Long Whale Sect was no ordinary cultivator.

So he sat on the ground and decisively unleashed his invincible weapon.

"How dare you disrespect our Yunhu Mountain?!" He glared, his eyes wide with fury.

Pei Xia picked at her ear: "Mmm."

After finishing his sentence, he looked at another disciple who was waiting beside him, who was already somewhat dazed: "Let's go, let's go up the mountain."

The disciple glanced at his master, then at Pei Xia, his mind wandering. He turned his head away without a word and led the way for Pei Xia.

The older sister, Ya'er, looked at Master Liang, who was still unable to stand up due to the pain in his ankle.

Her eyes were filled with fear, and she called out softly, "Uncle Liang..."

Unexpectedly, a slap followed.

The cultivator was powerful and heavy; even without using spiritual energy, he knocked the little girl to the ground.

The face, which had just regained some color in the past few days, quickly swelled up again, with faint traces of blood visible in the bruises.

The girl pursed her lips tightly, silently swallowing the taste of blood between her teeth.

The Taoist priest glared at her fiercely: "Come and help me up."

Despite being slightly dazed from the beating, the girl came over and helped the Taoist priest up.

She knew that he was angry because his sister and brother had caused him to lose face.

Although he calls me "Uncle Liang," this blood relation means nothing in the face of the divide between cultivators and mortals.

Even knowing she might be beaten again, the older sister still asked in a low voice, "Uncle, Xiaoyu... he can't do it. Going back to the ship is against the current. He hasn't eaten for so many days. He'll die."

The Taoist priest was in severe pain in his ankle, so he naturally walked with a limp.

His expression was gloomy: "Let him learn a lesson and give him a way to beg for food. Does he really think he's a direct disciple of Yunhu Mountain? Do you think our Daoist sect's laws are for him to use to bully others?"

After saying that, he looked up in the direction Pei Xia had left, gritted his teeth and said coldly, "However, if anyone dares to disrespect Yunhu Mountain, then we should let him know the immensity of heaven and earth."

Pei Xia followed behind the young disciple, passing through the village and heading towards Yunhu Mountain in the distance of the woods.

He watched the disciple's retreating figure and chuckled softly, "Aren't you that Taoist's disciple?"

Unexpectedly, the other person scratched their head and replied, "Yes."

"You're his apprentice, why aren't you helping him?"

The young Taoist smacked his lips, without turning around, and said, "I think I'm helping him."

He sighed, "The sect leader spends his days in seclusion, and Grandmaster Pei never gets involved in affairs. Now, Grandmaster Ding is the one who calls the shots on the mountain. Things were fine in the past, but after Uncle Wang passed away, I always felt that Grandmaster was being a little too protective of his disciples..."

Master Ding, is it Ding Jia?
It seems that even monks can develop problems if they are spoiled for too long.

Yunhu Mountain is already famous, and even the court of Xiaochen Kingdom has to appease it. If there is no one in charge in the sect, it is easy for treacherous people to emerge.

The young Taoist priest said, then touched his head: "Actually, Master isn't that bad. He just likes to show off and save face. Otherwise, he's a good person."

Pei Xia smiled and said, "You are quite insightful, unlike your master."

"Sigh, who has time for me on ordinary days? I'm just a woodshed worker carrying water. It's only because I've been too busy entertaining guests from all over lately that I don't have the chance to come down the mountain to greet them."

After saying that, he seemed to remember something: "Oh, senior brother, you still have to be careful. You're a guest on the mountain, so Master won't dare to do anything to you. But if he exaggerates and reports it to Grandmaster Ding, that man has a terrible temper." He had wanted to ask the hunger striker about the current situation of Yunhu Mountain, but that didn't work out.

This young Taoist priest is quite forthcoming with his knowledge.

The Liancheng Illusion was a collaborative effort by various sects across the Eastern Continent, thus the available slots for the Illusion were scattered among all the sects in the twelve kingdoms of the two continents.

Within the territory of Xiao Chen Kingdom, besides the two fixed spots at Yunhu Mountain, one spot for the imperial court, and one spot each for the four major sects, a total of seven people have been selected. Recently, they have all arrived at Yunhu Mountain one after another.

According to Pei Xia's speculation, he should be the only one in the Tongxuan Realm. The other experts selected by the four sects are probably not stronger than Xia Xuan, so there is no need to pay too much attention to him.

He was more concerned about the two people from Yunhu Mountain and the cultivators sent by the imperial court.

"Our Yunhu Mountain should have two senior brothers, Zong Heng and Ye Baicha, this time. Both of them are at the Opening Mansion Realm. In particular, I heard that even against a Transformation Realm expert, he has the strength to fight. If he hadn't been in seclusion for so long, he would definitely have been among the first to enter the Liancheng Illusionary Realm."

Even Pei Xia, who was hiding in Changjingmen, had heard of Zong Heng.

There's nothing particularly special about him, except that his spiritual palace is exceptionally vast, his cultivation is exceptionally solid, and his Yunhu Mountain techniques are exceptionally refined. He's the kind of person you can tell is not to be trifled with just one glance.

But Ye Baicha... Ah, what a small world.

Zhao Jia let her escape back then, but unexpectedly she still managed to get a spot in Liancheng Illusionary Realm. With her cultivation level, she shouldn't be considered outstanding among her peers in Yunhu Mountain. I wonder what kind of trickery is involved.

The young Taoist priest continued, "The imperial court only arrived yesterday. Lord Xing of Wugongtai personally escorted them. I heard they are descendants of some general in the court, and it is said that they are military strategists. However, I heard Master Pei say last time that it doesn't seem like it."

I'm really not very good at it.

What do military strategists call this level of mastery? They call it "human slayer," which means killing people.

The borders between Da Ling and Bei Yi are vast. Even excluding the major war that began last year, there are occasional skirmishes of considerable scale, and the suppression of bandits in various places has never stopped. This is the fertile ground for military strategists to thrive.

In contrast, the twelve kingdoms have not fought wars for many years, so their military forces are naturally weak. This is why many sects in Dongzhou have considerable influence over the imperial court.

It was precisely because of the lack of suppression from military strategists who were absolutely loyal to the imperial court that these martial arts sects were able to grow so wildly.

"Who is Lord Xing of the Martial Arts Platform?"

"Xing Ye seems to be an old acquaintance of Master Pei."

"Tsk."

They were indeed old acquaintances.

"By the way, is your Grandmaster Pei currently in seclusion?"

"No, this trip to Liancheng Illusionary Realm is led by Grandmaster Pei, and Lord Xing and another senior from Luoyan Sect at the Transformation Realm will also be going together."

"..."

Pei Xia did not deliberately avoid Pei Lan.

Earlier at Su Baozhai, because there were too many people and he still needed the martial arts quota for Changjingmen, it was inconvenient for her to recognize him.

But now, Xing Ye is here too.

Pei Xia and this old guy had a grudge against each other. The reason they didn't fight back then was only because Xing Ye wasn't entirely confident.

But now, not only is his cultivation level far higher than Pei Xia's, but he also has the Little Chen Kingdom's court behind him and is the leader of this illusion.

We still need to think of a way to avoid him.

Hmm, no, why do I feel like Yunhu Mountain, which I just arrived at, is already a den of dragons and tigers?
She had to be wary of Ding Jia taking advantage of her to cause trouble, disguise herself so Xing Ye wouldn't notice, and there was also her nemesis Ye Baicha.

At least once I'm out of the Liancheng Illusion, I can deal with it more freely!
