Gao Wu: Ten years of sparring experience, one move and the world knows him.

Chapter 193 Arrival at Qingcheng Sect

Seeing the three flee, the long-bearded Taoist leaped to give chase, but Zhao Rui stopped him.

"No need!"

As soon as Zhao Rui finished speaking, three shrill screams echoed from the sky.

Then three figures fell from the sky, plummeting straight to the ground.

The most distinctive feature of this gentle, nurturing approach is that it nourishes things subtly and silently.

It can not only track and detect locations, but also carry out covert operations.

The three had already fallen victim to Zhao Rui's wondrous soul technique, which was attached to his magic, during their initial exchange.

"Fellow Daoist's cultivation technique is so exquisite, this old Daoist is truly impressed!"

The two long-bearded Taoists exchanged a glance and then bowed to Zhao Rui in praise.

"You're too kind, little Doyle."

"Fellow Daoist, please come to the city for a chat."

The three of them descended and slowly walked into the official residence in the city.

The general of the Song Dynasty was already waiting below, and greeted them with a look of surprise and delight.

"Thank you for your help, senior. On behalf of all the people of the city, I thank you for saving our lives."

"It's a small effort, nothing worth mentioning."

Zhao Rui spoke politely, and gently reached out to help the bowing general to his feet.

"Senior again. It seems that those with high martial arts skills in this world must have the secret to preserving their youth. Otherwise, they wouldn't address you as 'senior' so directly."

After all, Zhao Rui looks like a young man.

"please!"

After exchanging greetings, the group entered the official residence.

The details of the conversation are too numerous to mention.

In the dense forest outside the city, Zhou Moyun stared in astonishment at the rout of the Shang army in the distance, and exclaimed with delight, "The enemy has retreated, our opportunity has arrived!"

Upon hearing this, everyone leaped into the air to investigate.

Just as Zhou Moyun had predicted, the Shang army was retreating.

Just as everyone was overjoyed, He Wenhua and his nephew rushed back.

"Quick, quick, follow us into the city. Senior has won a great victory and has already entered the city."

"what?"

Before anyone could react with surprise, the two Song Realm martial artists following behind He Wenhua and his nephew bowed to the crowd and said, "We have come on the orders of the general to invite you heroes to enter the city."

"Great! We can finally go back!"

The three women were overjoyed; after such a long period of anxiety, they could finally return to their sect.

With a guide, the group quickly arrived at the battlefield, passing over the wreckage and heading towards the city gate.

"Ordinary people are like ants, fighting and killing each other, but what is it all for?"

He Wenhua sighed as he smelled the thick stench of blood and saw the devastation all around him.

Hearing his words, the three women couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness.

"With this time, you could practice your skills properly and maybe save a few more people."

Su Wanyun scoffed.

"Stop talking nonsense! Once we get into the city, let's see how arrogant you, witch, are!"

Luo Yunxi immediately snorted coldly.

"Is it?"

Su Wanyun smiled faintly, but did not speak.

Soon the procession passed through the heavy city walls and gates and arrived inside the city.

They were put up in an inn in the city, waiting for Zhao Rui's return.

Half an hour later, Zhao Rui, led by an old Taoist priest, leisurely walked into the inn.

"senior!"

Upon hearing that Zhao Rui had returned, everyone hurriedly went downstairs to the lobby to greet him.

"Fellow Daoist, please rest for a while. I will not disturb you any longer. If you have any opportunities in the future, I hope you will grace Sanqing Mountain with your presence. Our sect will certainly welcome you with open arms."

"I am truly honored by your kind invitation, fellow Daoist. Until we meet again."

The two bowed to each other in farewell, and the long-bearded Taoist priest turned and left the inn.

After the Taoist priest left, Zhao Rui looked at the crowd and said:
"We'll make a short adjustment and set off back to the mainland in an hour."

"Ah, so urgent?"

Luo Yunxi couldn't help but exclaim in surprise; she had been thinking of resting here for a day or two.

Zhao Rui frowned, ignored her, and turned to go upstairs.

A waiter led him into a private room, where drinks, tea, snacks, and food were all provided.

Su Wanyun knocked on the door and entered. Without saying much, she stood obediently behind Zhao Rui, extending her slender hands to gently massage his shoulders.

She is positioned exactly as a maid.

Zhao Rui wasn't some ascetic who wouldn't enjoy his good fortune, so he remained calm and content, sipping the "ancient" delicacies on the table.

Compared to the food on Earth, it has a different flavor, richer and more complex.

Perhaps it's because this place is full of spiritual energy, making the plants and animals more spiritual.

"Where did you get all this demonic power from?"

After the meal, Zhao Rui casually asked Su Wanyun a question.

"I obtained it from the Moyun Cave, and there are still many doubts about it. If you have any questions, I hope you can point them out."

When Su Wanyun said she was giving guidance, she was actually offering Zhao Rui her martial arts training unconditionally.

"I don't even look down on your meager skills. I'll give you pointers when I have time."

"Thank you, senior."

"Okay, go and get ready. We'll set off in a bit."

"Yes, senior."

Su Wanyun didn't say anything and obediently left the room.

Outside the main room, not far away, Zhou Moshu and the other two women were coldly watching this side.

Upon seeing Su Wanyun emerge, they all sneered, "Seductive slut."

"Senior sister, what should we do?"

Luo Yunxi said anxiously, "We've already entered the pass, but Zhao Rui still doesn't seem to want us to leave."

She was extremely anxious.

Especially with Su Wanyun by her side, she dared not let her guard down for a moment.

"What do you mean?"

Zhou Moyun shook his head and said, "I'll follow your arrangements, senior."

"Sister, you..."

"Don't let your mind wander. The world is in chaos now; where is there any pure land left?"

Zhou Moshu understood what she meant, but at this moment, they were actually indirectly relying on Zhao Rui's protection.

If they choose to leave, Su Wanyun will definitely be the first to jump out and kill them without hesitation.

"That despicable woman who betrayed her master and ancestors, once I master the Azure Wave Divine Skill, I will definitely not let her off."

After Luo Yunxi finished speaking fiercely, he turned and went into the room.

Half an hour later!

Zhao Rui gathered everyone together, rented two beast-themed vehicles, and headed towards the mountain where the Qingcheng Sect was located.

Once inside the pass, it was no longer the desolate, beast-infested place outside the Two Realms Pass.

Although the trees here are still tall, many areas have been reclaimed into farmland.

Various grains are grown there, including rice, wheat, millet, and other common crops found on Earth, as well as edible plants unique to Guixu.

Within the dense forest, cities are scattered everywhere, crisscrossed by paths, resembling a replica of the Central Plains world.

When everyone got hungry, they went into the city to eat some local delicacies and drink some wine when they were thirsty.

Su Wanyun even thoughtfully bought two food boxes and two jars of wine and placed them in the car.

It was specially prepared for Zhao Rui to eat during his travels.

She held a palm-leaf fan behind Zhao Rui, fanning him while humming a little tune.

Such behavior is reminiscent of a young nobleman going out for a stroll.

"How could she, a dignified master of Dharma, act as lowly as a maid?"

Luo Yunxi hated Su Wanyun with a burning passion, and consequently, he also felt resentful towards Zhao Rui, who had always been served by her.

I feel that as a senior of the righteous path, how could he be so devoid of any sense of right and wrong, and so utterly depraved?

"Yunxi, what's wrong with you?"

Zhou Moshu quickly covered her mouth, her almond-shaped eyes slightly annoyed as she glared at her dark eyes.

Could Su Wanyun, who was at the Dharma Aspect Realm, not hear her venting her anger with such insults?

Would Zhao Rui, who is more skilled in martial arts, not be able to hear it?
If they offend Zhao Rui, they'll be in big trouble. Don't think that just because this is inside the pass, you can talk nonsense.

No one will save them; their entire Taihua Mountain sect doesn't have the power to do so.

Perhaps the Quanzhen Sect has such a master, but would they offend a master like Zhao Rui for the sake of Luo Yunxi?
"Woo!"

After Luo Yunxi struggled for a while, he nodded and promised not to speak recklessly again, and only then did Su Wanyun let go of his hand.

The three of them slumped in the car, looking somewhat dejected, their eyes vacant.

Zhao Rui never gave them an explanation, and just like that, he dragged a group of people towards Qingcheng Mountain.

What does he want to do?

After traveling for half a day, the five dragon envoys of the Holy Lotus Sect, who had been meditating in the carriage with their eyes closed, suddenly opened their eyes, swayed, and darted out of the carriage.

Looking out into the distance from the sky.

A powerful enemy is passing by!

Zhou Moshu and the others immediately tensed up, because although they were in the interior of the pass, they were not easy to encounter bandits, robbers, and outlaws along the way.

The Five Dragon Envoys were responsible for cleaning up these annoying little minions.

The fact that someone rushed out of the carriage ahead of time this time, with a solemn expression, clearly indicates that the person coming is no ordinary person.

Sure enough, a moment later, a burst of unrestrained laughter came from afar.

The newcomers were two short, fat men dressed in animal skins, with strange appearances and ugly faces.

One had a large earring in his left ear and held a long sword with a beast's head in his hand, while the other had a ring in his right ear and held a pair of golden dragon scissors.

"They are two monsters, demons and monsters!"

Zhou Moshu and the others were immediately alarmed. They jumped off the carriage, drew their weapons, and became alert.

"Hehe, what a pleasant surprise to find so many attractive girls."

The two monsters laughed heartily, and with a sway of their bodies, they walked towards the vehicle frame from the left and right respectively.

The Five Dragon Envoys frowned and shouted sternly, "I am the Five Dragon Envoys of the Holy Lotus Sect. Please give me some face and leave at once."

"Brother, they are from the Holy Lotus Cult."

The strange man on the right, holding the Golden Dragon Scissors, was taken aback upon hearing this, and then shouted loudly.

"Since you're from the Holy Lotus Sect, we two brothers won't stop you. You can leave now."

After they finished speaking, the two continued walking towards the three women.

"I am He Wenhua from the Quanzhen Sect..."

He Wenhua had barely uttered half a sentence when a gust of wind swept towards him.

Startled, he quickly dodged to the side, and a foot-deep knife mark immediately appeared on the ground behind him.

"If your martial uncle comes, we two might give him some face, but you're nothing, get out of here."

"you……"

Tao Yuansheng was furious, before he could even say a few words of his own.

The two monsters suddenly stood up and attacked the three women.

Zhou Moshu and her two daughters quickly drew their swords and used the martial arts of Mount Taihua to fight the two monsters.

How could the three women be a match for the two monsters? After only a few exchanges, they found themselves in grave danger.

"Uncle Master!"

Tao Yuansheng broke free from his martial uncle's restraints and joined the battle with his longsword in hand.

Seeing this, He Wenhua had no choice but to take up his sword and attack.

These two oddballs are most adept at holding grudges and seeking revenge.

It's already quite good that they're willing to give us some face and not make things difficult for us.

The moment the nephew made his move, a karmic connection was formed.

The two monsters were highly skilled, and even when the five of them fought together, they didn't struggle much. In just over ten moves, Tao Yuansheng was sent flying by a single palm strike.

He fell more than ten feet away.

"My little beauties, we brothers have always been gentle and chivalrous. If you serve us well, you'll naturally have plenty to eat and drink. If we brothers are happy, we'll even teach you everything we know."

The two oddballs laughed incessantly.

"You two are considered senior figures in the martial arts world, how could you act in such a way? Aren't you afraid of being ridiculed by the martial arts community?"

Tao Yuansheng jumped up and quickly protected Luo Yunxi, saying something.

"Everyone has a love for beauty. We should just find beautiful women to accompany us. Why are we, the people of the martial world, in such a hurry!"

The two monsters chuckled and with a flick of their wrists, knocked all five of them to the ground.

"Judging from the martial arts, they're from Mount Taihua. Could they be one of the Three Fairies of Mount Taihua?"

"We are blessed today."

"What's so great about staying in this damn Mount Taihua..."

The two strange men spoke blatantly and walked toward the three women as if no one else was around.

"Senior, help!"

Only then did Zhou Moshu remember Zhao Rui and hurriedly cried for help.

Upon hearing this, Cao Yuancai also cried for help.

"Hey, anyone else here?"

"Is it you?"

The two monsters narrowed their eyes and looked at the Five Dragon Envoys who were watching the battle from the side.

"not me!"

The Five Dragon Envoys shook their heads and said expressionlessly.

"Who is that?"

The two monsters laughed loudly and suddenly swung their palms at Luo Yunxi.

Tao Yuansheng was startled and quickly stepped in front of Luo Yunxi to shield him, taking the blow head-on.

He spat out a mouthful of blood, and Tao Yuansheng's body instantly fell several feet away.

"Please, senior, save me!"

Luo Yunxi could no longer control himself and collapsed to the ground, bending over in pain and begging for help.

"Noisy!"

Just then, a cold snort rang out, and dark clouds suddenly rose above everyone's heads. A huge hand of true essence materialized and reached out to grab the two monsters.

The two monsters were terrified and quickly dodged, while simultaneously unleashing a powerful handprint towards the giant hand.

Unfortunately, this giant hand was incredibly thick, and their handprints, when struck, had no effect other than causing ripples of true energy.

The two monsters were horrified, realizing they had encountered a master.

They hurriedly retreated and fled.

Suddenly, a flute melody rang out, and the two monsters felt a sharp pain in their souls.

He instantly covered his head and rolled on the ground.

"Spare your life, spare your life."

Before they could even beg for mercy, the giant hand descended from the sky, suddenly growing more than ten times its original size, and crushed the two monsters under its palm with a crushing force.

This awe-inspiring scene left Zhou Moshu and the others dumbfounded.

The two experts who just beat the five of them into a sorry state.

He was subdued by just one large hand.

They naturally knew whose giant hand it was.

Who else could it be but a senior!
A sense of absurdity and horror arose in everyone's hearts.

Although I know my senior is very strong, without comparison, there is no harm done.

I didn't expect him to be so strong.

"Keep on going."

Su Wanyun lifted the curtain, glanced at Zhou Moshu and his group of five, and smiled sarcastically.

Then he leaped directly in front of the two monsters.

The two monsters were pinned down by the large hand, their bones and tendons broken, and blood was seeping from their mouths and noses.

Without hesitation, Su Wanyun struck them down with two palms, instantly killing them.

After dealing with the two, Su Wanyun clapped her hands and strolled over to Luo Yunxi.

He grabbed her by the collar and slapped her five or six times.

The blows left Luo Yunxi's cheeks red and swollen, and his hair disheveled.

After finishing, she didn't say a word and went straight back to Zhao Rui's car.

Zhou Moshu and the others stared in disbelief at the scene until the other carriages drove far away, at which point they finally snapped out of their daze.

He helped Tao Yuansheng and Luo Yunxi into their respective carriages and followed them.

This journey took another two days.

The convoy finally arrived at the area where the Qingcheng Sect was located.
