In the mirror, the Celestial Sect Convention was completely quiet, all of the celestial cultivators stood up and formed a circle around Xu Zhi. Zhi Yan looked at Xu Zhi in the mirror, blinking twice, a little stunned: "This is East Mountain Lord, eh…"
As this phrase of hers transmitted through the mirror, the celestial sect cultivators on the other side began to gossip back and forth like they had not heard the words, East Mountain Lord, for many years.
After Liu Su Ruo quietly retreated with a few other celestial cultivators, among the four celestial cultivators who agreed with her words, a white-bearded old man came forward. I also knew him, he was the grandmaster of Wang Xing Sect, named Chi Tian Ming, titled the Heaven Mystery Taoist. Before I pummelled Luo Ming Xuan into his eternal sleep, his relationship between this old taoist could be said to be the best amongst the Ten Great Celestial Sects.
Therefore, seeing him stand beside Liu Su Ruo, I was not in the least surprised.
"Lu Shi Qi, at my Celestial Sect Convention, who allows you to come and act impudently!"
Xu Zhi was picked up by me. Since she was young, she did not have a surname, so I simply gave her my surname. Now that someone was calling her by her full name, I suddenly had a feeling that my younger generation was continuing my famous reputation in Jiang Hu.
"Who cares if you guys allow it or not! If you want to hurt my sect leader, it is not okay!"
Xu Zhi had a temperament that if someone said something she was not satisfied with, then she would immediately go for the punches. She still used the old method, hitting that Heaven Mystery Taoist's face, without even a little regard to the virtuous ideology of respecting the old and cherishing the young.
Zhi Yan's eyes widened, staring at Xu Zhi. She did not even avoid her opponent's magical spells and confront it head-on. Zhi Yan's mouth was filled with gasps of surprise: "Woah, woah, woah!" Her exclamations were even louder and clearer than the crows of a rooster.
Xu Zhi 's fighting moves were still the ones that I taught her. However, in these past few years, it was unknown what hardships she had experienced while she was overseas on the Immortal Island, her movements were much faster and her killing with vital hits were also more accurate.
Her killing move was fast and not in the least controlled by his magical spells, causing the Heaven Mystery Taoist, who had whole-heartedly cultivated internal energy, to feel like a failure. He suffered two hits, being bombarded by these unreasonable and illogical attacks, he fell backwards into the crowd. Xu Zhi then sprang up, jumped up high into the air and dropped down. She was still reluctant to stop, determined to go beat him up. But at this time, each and every celestial cultivator beside the Heaven Mystery Taoist, completely took out all of their magical weapons. Every type of magical spell and sword were aimed and thrown at Xu Zhi's body.
Xu Zhi was not afraid of magical spells, but she still had to evade swords and concealed weapons.
Zhi Yan became anxious from watching the scene: "You guys use the majority to bully the minority!"
I did not pay much attention to Xu Zhi. Currently, besides the Heaven Mystery Taoist, this one leader, attacking her, the other sect leaders were all steadily calm, but this gang of bandits would not be able to do anything anyways. Then my gaze fell on Qin Qian Xian's body. When everyone was focused on Xu Zhi, a shadow of a silhouette suddenly flashed in front of Qin Qian Xian! Holding Liu Su Ruo's male sword, the shadow resolutely slashed straight at Qin Qian Xian.
The brilliant light around Qin Qian Xian's whole body suddenly moved, but his figure did not even have the slightest movement. Nevertheless, with much difficulty the male sword was able to stop on his shoulder.
Seeing the oncoming person, Qin Qian Xian wrinkled his eyebrows.
It was Liu Cang Ling.
"Zhi Yan." I called out to Zhi Yan, had her look at the other side in the mirror, and then she frozed: "Brother Cang Ling…" The palms of her hands were tense and she clenched her hands into fists: "Liu Su Ruo! You wretch! Don't control Brother Cang Ling anymore!"
She did not get a response from anyone. Liu Cang Ling simply had the sword drawn, his offensive slashes became even quicker and more violent towards Qin Qian Xian.
The guard next to Qin Qian Xian wanted to defend him, but his movement was stopped by Qin Qian Xian. Precisely at this moment, I could only hear Liu Su Ruo's bitter, snake-like voice chillingly call out: "Ladies and Gentlemen, celestial friends, what are you waiting for?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the other three celestial sect leaders suddenly moved, rushing towards Qin Qian Xian. They actually planned to take Qin Qian Xian's blood right on the spot!
Shen Qian Jin was furious: "Ridiculous!" She slapped the table and stood up, unfortunately, she was prevented by the prison, unable to move. However, previously, there were two celestial sects who had not declared their position yet. Right now, Xuan Yu Hall Hall Leader had stood up to protect Qin Qian Xian, while the other leader still sat motionlessly. Looking at his expression, did he actually want to stay neutral?
Xuan Yu Hall Leader was blocking one of the grandmasters, while the other two grandmasters, together with Liu Su Ruo attacked Qin Qian Xian. As it turned out, the stance on choosing to save Luo Ming Xuan or not was actually five in agreement, three in resistance, and one in neutrality.
Three people besieged Qin Qian Xian, suddenly causing the scene to become chaotic.
Looking into the crowd, I did not see Liu Su Ruo's silhouette. I frowned deeply and commanded: "Xu Zhi, go help Qin Qian Xian." But with the words that I had just spoken, I only came to realize that my voice could not be conveyed into their ears. In the moment of my silence, without needing my instructions, Zhi Yan looked directly at the other side and shouted:
"Xu Zhi! Lu Zhao Yao told you to go save Qin Qian Xian!"
As soon as this statement was spoken, everyone present suddenly became quiet. Everyone's movements appeared to stop for a moment. While off to the side, Shen Qian Jin was also surprised and stared at Zhi Yan.
Just saying these three words, Lu Zhao Yao, even after so many years of being dead, to them, it was still like a magical curse.
I proudly lifted my chin up.
In the corner, Shi Qi raised her head among the beaten crowd that consisted of the Heaven Mystery Taoist and a pile of small fry celestial cultivators who had attacked her. Her face was already stained with other people's blood. At first glance, she looked somewhat demonic, but her eyes were still pure and harmless like a small animal. She looked into the mirror, over to this side. Through the mirror, she saw Zhi Yan, but could not see me standing behind Zhi Yan at all.
"Who did the Sect Leader say to save?"
"Qin Qian Xian, the Bodhisattva cultivator."
She cleaned her hands, wiping the blood off her hands onto someone else's body: "The Sect Leader said to save, I will save."
As soon as she squatted down, she sprang up, her body soared into the sky like a vigorous and nimble ferocious beast, and then, dropped down in front of Qin Qian Xian. To her, the light of the enchantment barrier around Qin Qian Xian's body did not affect her in any way. When she pushed Qin Qian Xian behind her, her hand, which had some remaining bloodstains, left a bloody handprint on his white clothes. She turned her head to look at Qin Qian Xian: "You stand back, I will protect you."
Qin Qian Xian, who had always carried a cold expression, was suddenly startled.
At this time, Liu Cang Ling raised the sword in front of him again and attacked. He did not even bother to look at Xu Zhi and went straight for Qin Qian Xian's neck.
Xu Zhi also showed no trace of being polite, moving quickly and violently. With one shot, she grabbed Liu Cang Ling's wrist, and with a "crack," she dislocated his bone. Then she mercilessly followed through with her fist and punched the bridge of his nose, causing Liu Cang Ling's nose to overflow with blood.
Perhaps the celestial cultivators who had been sitting high on a pedestal for too long had not seen such a bloody melee upclose in a very long time. So off to the side, the eyes of several grandmasters and Qin Qian Xian carried some degree of bewilderment.
That was also right. Previously, I usually sent Yuan Jie to go deal with the celestial cultivators, while Xu Zhi usually handled the internal disputes. Every demon cultivator had some sort of an unreasonable disposition, serving only the most wicked person than themselves. When Xu Zhi set out on her task, she was ruthless, she was most capable at intimidating those disobedient little goblins.
Liu Cang Ling was being controlled by Liu Su Ruo, so he did not know what pain was. He raised the sword again, making Xu Zhi obviously unhappy. She bent her fingers into claws, almost going in for the kill, when Zhi Yan suddenly cried out in alarm: "No… No, don't!" Her eyeballs circled around, "The Sect Leader said that you cannot kill this person!"
I was behind Zhi Yan and unbridledly kicked her buttocks: "Faking an imperial edict, I will chop off your head!"
Zhi Yan wiped away her sweat, enduring my attitude and not turning to look back at me.
But over on the other side, Xu Zhi obediently obeyed: "The Sect Leader has more requests now than before!" She straightened her claws, opened her palm, and ruthlessly hit Liu Cang Ling on the forehead with her hand. Liu Can Ling's eyes immediately closed and fell directly backwards, he was not dead but was already in a dead-fainted state. Xu Zhi rubbed her hands together, and then, continued saying, "But I still like her."
I laughed and felt that I had raised a good child. When suddenly, on the stage of that convention, more than ten wooden-headed puppets dropped down from the sky. Among the wooden-headed puppets, one landed beside Xu Zhi, saying emotionlessly: "If you say these kinds of words again so openly, someone will get angry."
It actually sounded somewhat like Sima Rong's voice…
