A cat that lingers beside a saint

Chapter 137 There must be a trap here!

Yang Jian was unaware of the sudden arrival of the jade cauldron.

Although many years have passed since the Investiture of the Gods, Yang Jian still instinctively carried Su Bai on his back.

However, as Yang Jian's master, how could Yu Ding not notice his little tricks?

At first glance, Yu Ding thought he had gained a junior brother or nephew.

However, upon closer inspection, the corners of his eyes began to twitch violently.

A few days ago, he visited Yuzhu Cave in Zhongnan Mountain.

He heard from Master Taiyi that Yun Zhongzi had made great progress in weapon crafting, and that Taiyi had even specially requested several magical treasures from Yun Zhongzi.

After all, the two of them had a fairly good relationship, and a large part of the treasures on Nezha's body were made by Yun Zhongzi.

He originally planned to find Yun Zhongzi to refine some magic weapons so that Yang Jian could use them for self-defense. Even if they were not needed, the more the better.

However, he received a piece of news from Yun Zhongzi that shocked him greatly.

The former leader of the Jie Sect, Tongtian Shengren, took in another disciple.

The disciple was a cat, and he had a sword hanging around his neck.

Master Yu Ding stepped forward, first glancing at Yang Jian, then his gaze fell on the little cat behind Yang Jian.

After a careful examination with his divine sense, Yu Ding was completely certain that the cat was indeed a disciple of the Shangqing Sage.

At this moment, Yu Ding's expression became extremely complicated.

The Immortal-Slaying Sword on his back began to tremble for some unknown reason.

He is different from Yun Zhongzi.

Yun Zhongzi was truly a blessed immortal back then. Not only was he unaffected, but he was also able to escape in time, something that even the Twelve Golden Immortals could not do.

However, the twelve Golden Immortals ultimately met a tragic end, nearly dying and disappearing from the Dao.

Although his cultivation has now recovered, the trauma from that battle back then is still too great.

So much so that now, upon seeing a new disciple of the Jie Sect, he immediately felt an urge to kill him.

Yang Jian was extremely sensitive to killing intent. Upon sensing Yu Ding's murderous intent, he immediately drew his three-pointed double-edged sword, shielding Su Bai in front of his chest with one hand and gripping the hilt tightly with the other.

"Master, are you alright?"

Upon hearing Yang Jian's voice, Yu Ding snapped out of his daze.

Why have you come here?

Yu Ding frowned, glanced at the three-pointed double-edged sword in Yang Jian's hand, walked forward without caring, grabbed his arm, and pulled him away.

"Master!"

Yang Jian remained still, then looked down at the kitten in his arms and said, "My uncle said that he has received the patriarch's approval, so I brought him here."

"Uncle-Master?"

Yu Ding narrowed his eyes slightly. He was right; the cat was indeed a new disciple of the Jie Sect.

The Intercepting Sect!

Jiejiao (Intercepting Sect) —

Ugh.

Yu Ding stared at Su Bai for a long time, his expression changing repeatedly.

His thoughts kept changing, and for a moment, his expression went from indifference to icy coldness.

Then it transformed from coldness to distortion, and finally from distortion into the melancholy we see today.

"In the mountains, one loses track of time; looking back at the human world, everything has changed beyond recognition."

"This humble Taoist priest expounds the teachings in twelve stages —"

As if he had thought of something, Yu Ding suddenly paused, and after a moment continued, "This humble Daoist is a disciple of the Chan Sect, a disciple of the Jade Void Primordial Sage, Yu Ding Zhenren. May I ask, fellow Daoist, where did you learn your master?"

Su Bai peeked out from Yang Jian's embrace, looked at the jade cauldron, and then looked at Yang Jian.

He was about to introduce himself, but when he thought of the appearance of Master Yuding just now, he shrank back and said, "My master said that if we are out and about, we should say that we are self-taught."

Yu Ding remained silent.

To say this cat is silly is an understatement; it actually has some cleverness.

He may be considered clever, but he's not that clever.

However, the Qingping Sword around his neck alone completely exposed his identity.

Seeing this, Yu Ding didn't ask any more questions. After letting out a long breath, he gently shook his head and said, "This place is the site of our teacher's dojo, a place left behind by a sage. The dangers here are not as simple as you imagine."

"When our teacher left, he personally instructed that no one, whether a disciple of the Chan Sect or not, should go to this place lightly."

"There is great danger involved!"

Great danger?

Su Bai was taken aback at first, then suddenly jumped onto Yang Jian's head, looked up at the sky, and stared wide-eyed at him: "Old man, are you trying to harm me?"

Upon hearing this, Yuanshi, far away in the void, broke out in a cold sweat.

At this moment, he clearly felt that the other saints in this area had already locked onto him, and even the old Taoist priest in the dilapidated Taoist temple had taken out the Four Swords of Zhuxian and was polishing them at the entrance of the temple.

Similarly, in the southern human territory, the Supreme One also rarely came out of the house. He was standing outside the hall, playing with the Xuanhuang Pagoda in his hand.

Sometimes the spire points downwards, sometimes the base points downwards.

After fiddling with it for a long time, it finally chose to point downwards from the top of the tower, while uttering a single word.

"Good~"

Outside Kunlun Mountain.

Although Yu Ding didn't know who the cat was cursing, after thinking about it carefully, he roughly understood.

It's clear that this cat must have been guided by the Heavenly Venerable. Otherwise, no one in the Three Realms would dare to say that they had received the sage's approval.

Although Yu Ding disliked the disciples of the Jie Sect, he did not have much dissatisfaction with this cat.

Of course, it wasn't just because he was able to befriend Yang Jian; the main reason was that Yang Jian actually dared to take out the Three-Pointed Double-Edged Sword for this cat.

"Actually, this is not the teacher's fault. After the teacher went to the outer heavens, this place was completely abandoned."

"Because of the restrictions left by the old man, almost all cultivators or living beings who dared to trespass into this place perished here."

"The teacher once said that this place is reserved for those with affinity, but over the years, many people have died, but not a single one of those with affinity has been seen. I don't know what kind of affinity the teacher meant by those with affinity."

Yu Ding sighed slightly. In any case, he couldn't understand what the so-called "destined person" that the Primordial Sage was talking about was.

After a moment of silence, Yu Ding continued, "For thousands of years, countless corpses have been buried beneath this ice and snow. Although the ice and snow have suddenly melted today, it is hard to guarantee that there may still be some other restrictions or traps hidden here."

As if he had thought of something, Yu Ding looked at Su Bai with a serious expression and said, "Even if you have really received your teacher's approval, you'd better listen to my advice first."

"The more the teacher says that, the less you should go in!"

"There must be something fishy going on here!"
