The tall Taoist priest Rong Shan was pacing anxiously, circling around the doorway.
The attack on the mountain by the Quanxing sect did not reach the backyard, but the towering flames at night and the continuous shouts of battle told Rongshan that something had happened at Longhu Mountain!
Inside the house,
Tian Jinzhong's brows were furrowed tightly, and his eyes were filled with anxiety.
Having practiced meditation for many years, his senses are more acute than those of the average person.
I had already heard about what happened on Longhu Mountain.
He never expected that Longhu Mountain, with his senior brother in charge, would be attacked by the Quanxing!
Are all these little brats this fierce now?
Back when Wugensheng was still alive, he didn't dare to act recklessly in Longhu Mountain. Now that Wugensheng is gone, how could the disorganized Quanxing gang attack Longhu Mountain?
Listening to the constant sounds of fighting.
Tian Jin was becoming increasingly anxious!
At this time,
A young man rushed out of the alley in a panic and shouted loudly:
"Master Rongshan, Master Jinzhong, something terrible has happened!"
"The lawless Quanxing demons have come down to the mountain!"
Rong Shan was startled, his eyes widening.
"Explain yourself clearly, what's the situation now?!"
The young Taoist priest dared not delay.
"When I arrived, I heard from some of my senior brothers that the Quanxing demons' offensive was too fierce, and even the Grand Master had to take action?"
Rong Shan listened with a shocked expression, saying in disbelief:
"What?! Even my master has made a move?!"
At this time,
Tian Jinzhong, who was inside the room, spoke up:
"Rongshan, now you should lend a helping hand to your fellow disciples!"
Rong Shan hesitated for a moment after listening.
"No...Master said that no matter what happens, I must stay here to take care of you!"
"Confused!"
Tian Jinzhong roared angrily.
"What time is it now? What good is it for you to take care of me? Your master is over a hundred years old. What means would he have to deal with the Quanxing Sect? Besides, this place is so remote. No one would come to a place like this. Go and help your fellow disciples!"
Rong Shan gritted his teeth.
"Xiao Yuzi, you stay here and keep an eye on the advisor!"
"Don't worry, Master Rongshan, I will take good care of Master Jinzhong!"
Xiaoyuzi solemnly assured him.
Rongshan left in a hurry.
After he walked away, only the two young Taoist boys and Tian Jinzhong remained in the room.
One of the young Taoist disciples looked worried.
"Little Yu, do you think those Quanxing demons might harm Grand Tutor? Or set the mountain on fire?"
"probably not."
"I'm still a little worried..."
"There's really no need to worry. Before the Quanxing people attacked Longhu Mountain, I specifically instructed them to avoid the Old Celestial Master. Also, they wouldn't set fire to the mountain, since Longhu Mountain is like half my home."
"Huh? Wh...what?"
The young Taoist thought he had misheard and blinked.
But he never got the result he was waiting for.
What awaited him was only a chop to the neck.
Xiaoyu slowly withdrew her arm, her gaze calm.
The young Taoist priest beside him lay limp on the ground, fast asleep.
Sitting in his wheelchair, Tian Jinzhong stared wide-eyed at the scene. His head was buzzing, and he blurted out instinctively:
"Who are you?"
'Xiao Yuzi' took off her hat, and under Tian Jinzhong's shocked gaze, clasped her hands together and bowed reverently.
"Gong Qing, acting leader of Quanxing Sect... greets Elder Tian!"
...
The moonlight over the back mountain was like dusk.
Xia He looked at the leisurely young man and couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.
"How can you be so carefree, you heartless wretch? Don't you know what the sect leader and the other two are doing right now?"
Bai Yuan responded as he walked.
"I know."
"Then why don't you hurry up and go..."
"The old Celestial Master... probably knows as well."
"...What did you say?!"
The moonlight was like dusk, the girl's eyes were wide open, her voice trembled, startling a flock of birds.
Chapter 106 What a lame joke!
The moonlight hangs on the branches.
At this time, Longhu Mountain was in an exceptionally large crisis.
No one expected that the Quanxing Sect would suddenly attack Longhu Mountain in a frenzy.
Challenge the living legends of the supernatural world.
The fights that took place on the mountain almost all occurred on the front side of the mountain.
The secluded back mountain is largely unaffected.
Gong Qing specifically instructed that he had an equally grand scheme in the back mountain, and all the Quanxing personnel were making a commotion in the front mountain.
Then, the birds were startled and flew away.
The moonlight in the sky, amidst the outstretched wings of a flock of birds, is like a few strokes of embellishment, adding a touch of the beauty of a landscape painting.
Under the moonlight,
Bai Yuan dodged forward, raised his arm, and covered the pink-haired girl's mouth.
"Shh! Idiot, dare you speak any louder?"
Xia He's mouth was covered, and she whimpered like a cat with its mouth gagged. She pried the young man's hands off with both hands and retorted without any politeness.
"Who are you calling an idiot? You're the idiot!"
Bai Yuan was speechless.
Even when the pink-haired girl in front of him called him an idiot, he wasn't angry at all.
Because he wasn't an idiot to begin with.
Seeing the pink-haired girl's fur starting to twitch, all I could do was offer a compliment, like I was comforting a child.
"Okay, okay...you're not an idiot, you're smart, alright?"
Hearing this, Xia He was furious. She raised her arm, clenched her fist, and threatened:
"I'm not an idiot. If you can't remember this, I'll remind you with my fist next time!"
Bai Yuan nodded hurriedly, his face showing extreme fear.
Xia He immediately snorted disdainfully and raised her chin.
But then,
She took a deep breath, her expression turned serious, and a deep look of doubt appeared in her eyes. She lowered her voice and asked the young man:
"What did you just say? The Celestial Master...knows what's happening in the back mountain?!"
Bai Yuan did not give a clear answer and remained silent.
Xia He paused for a moment, then parted her lips slightly.
"It couldn't have been you who told the Celestial Master, could it?"
Bai Yuan's lips curled into a smile with interest.
"...What if it were me?"
"Not really, and it doesn't concern me much," Xia He replied curtly, looking directly into the young man's eyes.
Bai Yuan smiled.
"It's a pity it wasn't me. I had no motive to do this. If I really didn't want the sect leader to do some bad things in the back mountain, I probably would have already taken action."
Xia He nodded slowly, even though her mind was a complete blank and she couldn't quite make sense of it all.
But there's one thing she's sure of.
That's the bastard in front of me. He has no reason to lie to me, and he won't lie to me!
If he really wanted to stop the acting sect leader, there were countless ways to do it, the most direct and straightforward being to stomp on the acting sect leader's face.
The two of them continued on their way.
Xia He murmured softly.
"If the Old Celestial Master knew about the Sect Leader's actions, why didn't he stop him now? The older generation in the world of supernatural beings keeps silent about what happened back then, even deliberately sealing it away as a taboo, a secret they've guarded for so many years..."
"Aren't you going to protect them now?"
Bai Yuan casually plucked a leaf, placed it in his palm, and blew on it.
"Two possibilities."
"The first possibility is that the Celestial Master knows Tian Jinzhong's secret. That secret isn't about the Jia Shen Rebellion, but rather some personal secret about Zhang Huaiyi. Rather than keeping it hidden in his heart for his entire life, becoming a knot in his heart until death, it would be better to use someone else to remove Tian Jinzhong's 'inner demon.' After all, Tian Jinzhong has suffered his whole life because of this matter; he can't die with guilt and pain in his heart..."
"It is already painful enough to live, but to die with guilt is the greatest tragedy."
This is the most likely possibility.
Once that's done, the matter is over.
However, the old master did not expect that Tian Jinzhong's obsession with this matter had reached the point of demonic possession.
They might deliberately use reverse psychology to their advantage, hoping to use someone else to do their dirty work.
With Tian Jinzhong dead, the Old Master's meticulously planned scheme crumbled.
The bamboo basket was empty.
All this buildup for his junior brother was meant to help him overcome his inner demons, but unexpectedly, it led to his death...
This hatred, this guilt in my heart.
That's enough to send the Celestial Master down the mountain and cause a bloodbath!
The mountain breeze at night ruffled Xia He's fragrant hair, a few strands clinging to her ears and swaying gently.
"Well... there's another possibility..."
