This seems to be a natural opposite.

"Have you heard? There are some troublesome things down the mountain who are plotting to get rid of you."

After the battle with Chao Yuanzong, everyone knew that he survived the tribulation of lightning and achieved the Nascent Soul stage.

As for more details, most people are unaware of them.

Moreover, once controlled by that aura, one's memories will be somewhat incomplete.

This has led most people to only know that on that day, Daosheng joined forces with many demonic cultivators to attack the valley, while the causes and consequences have been circulated in various ways.

Daosheng and the Celestial Master did not care about this matter.

Others who know the truth are not the ones who will immediately spread it.

This led to the story becoming increasingly fantastical.

There were even rumors that Longhu Mountain was being pressured to expel Daosheng from the mountain.

"In my opinion, we should find an opportunity to beat these people up."

Maybe I can achieve the same success as you, rising to the top in one step!

Under that tribulation of lightning, Dao Sheng directly entered the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

And it quickly came to a successful conclusion.

This made He Xingyao extremely envious.

“As soon as I make a move, they will probably surround Longhu Mountain immediately.”

Daosheng's face showed an amused expression.

"I need to rest for a bit, you can continue with your work."

Time flies, and a year later, when the last person, carrying an aura of desolation, arrived at Longhu Mountain.

During this period, you descended from the mountain several times, even saving demonic cultivators who were universally reviled on multiple occasions.

That was your fulfillment of the promise you made that day, in the valley.

You will save their lives.

Such actions, however, only hastened public condemnation.

Your reputation seems to be starting to resemble that of those demonic cultivators.

Finally, one day, someone actually made it to Longhu Mountain.

[That day, the Celestial Master was enraged.]

The world has finally witnessed what an enraged exorcist might do.

[If you hadn't stopped them in time, the Celestial Master would have already destroyed their body and soul!]

However, rumors of the Celestial Master's incompetence and his expulsion from the mountain began to circulate widely.

[It has gradually gained an unstoppable momentum.]

You walked into the Celestial Master's Mansion alone.

“Master, I wish to request to leave Longhu Mountain.”

"With your teacher protecting you, who dares to say anything?"

The Celestial Master commands respect without anger.

The strongest person in the world isn't someone who claims to be the best; they are proven through real battles.

“Something seems very wrong here; it looks like someone is targeting Longhu Mountain.”

Let's turn the tables on them.

Send your apprentice down the mountain.

That would allow us to get a good look at who's hiding behind the scenes.

After Daosheng finished speaking, the Celestial Master smiled and looked at Daosheng with affection.

"Do you need to tell me these things?"

Your fellow disciples have already gone to the mountain to investigate this matter.

"You just stay on the mountain quietly; you don't need to worry about anything else."

Since someone was actually eyeing Longhu Mountain, the Celestial Master naturally couldn't just sit idly by.

Rather than resorting to a scheme that would cause Daosheng to suffer injustice, the Celestial Master preferred to confront the enemy head-on.

It doesn't make sense for my disciple to save the world and then have to take the blame.

However, as time went on, your fellow students were unable to find any useful information.

This vast net, woven from countless forces, is closing in on you with perfect coordination.

[With increasing pressure from various forces, the Celestial Master intended to challenge them one by one and reason with them, but ultimately failed to achieve his goal.]

What you wouldn't expect was that just as the Celestial Master was preparing to close the mountain gates and deal with the matter quietly...

These various forces have actually joined forces to climb the mountain, demanding an explanation from Longhu Mountain!

Chapter 145 End of life

"Has it been because I've kept a low profile for too long that they've all forgotten what kind of person I used to be?"

The Celestial Master looked at the situation below the mountain, his face contorted with rage and a forced smile.

He has already made concessions and chosen to remain closed to the public.

Unexpectedly, these people were so reckless that they surrounded Longhu Mountain.

"Master, could it be that they've misunderstood something?"

"misunderstanding?"

The Celestial Master shook his head.

“My disciple, you are still too young.”

They made this choice precisely because there was no misunderstanding.

The Celestial Master's voice was deep, and Dao Sheng could clearly sense the undercurrent beneath the calm surface.

"They are afraid that another person like me will appear in Longhu Mountain."

The fact that someone has the ability to overpower a generation has already frightened them.

If another person with unparalleled talent were to emerge, they wouldn't know how long they would have to hide.

Therefore, they chose to strike first.

The Celestial Master's words stirred a ripple in Daosheng's heart.

He could also be described as decisive and ruthless.

But when facing like-minded people, I still think of them too purely.

When faced with external enemies, they might still think about working together.

Now, all the demons and monsters in the world have retreated to a corner.

That unknown threat is known only to a very small number of people.

For most people, the world has long since entered a period of peace.

For them, Longhu Mountain is a new threat.

Daosheng's repeated release of demonic cultivators gave them ammunition to use as a pretext to try and steal benefits from the Celestial Master for the sake of Longhu Mountain.

"It was my disciple's oversight."

Longhu Mountain has always maintained a relatively neutral stance.

Before Daosheng's incident, the fellow disciples focused solely on slaying demons and monsters, and did not get too involved with other sects.

"It doesn't matter.

What they were really after was Longhu Mountain.

They have no right to judge what you stand for.

The Celestial Master smiled at his disciple, his face crinkling into a deep frown.

This celestial master is unparalleled in the world and has been around for many years.

And without realizing it, he aged considerably.

He was well aware of Dao Sheng's decision to let the demonic cultivator go.

He even knew that he had previously instructed his fellow disciples at Longhu Mountain to release the demons who had not caused any bloodshed.

Many things shouldn't be simply black and white.

In his heart, the Celestial Master still supported his disciple.

"Since they've surrounded the mountain gate, they're determined to get an explanation."

It seems a bit inappropriate for a teacher not to even show his face.

"Come with me, and I'll show you what a real piece of trash looks like."

[You followed the Celestial Master and exited the mountain gate formation.]

Dozens of Nascent Soul stage experts instantly surrounded them.

The opponent's momentum was extremely strong, but the Celestial Master was like a pillar stabilizing the sea, remaining unmoved despite the towering waves.

Unable to overwhelm the Celestial Master with their imposing presence, the opposing side began to gather around, intending to negotiate.

But once these people opened their mouths, their greed was completely undisguised.

Many of the things mentioned are completely impossible to agree to.

The other party seems determined to stick to this point; they're waiting for them to ask for an exorbitant price, and then try to negotiate a lower one.

But the Celestial Master merely nodded, as if in agreement.
