Fellow Daoist! That scoundrel has written a new book again.

Chapter 365 Give her a surprise

This chapter has been highly controversial.

It's worth noting that even the debate over whether Shi Huai should have killed Shi Jin hadn't been resolved, yet in just a few chapters, the question has suddenly become whether Shi Huai should have saved Shi Jin?

"Saving a bird?! Is Huai trying to prove the way of the sage at this moment?"

Rong Zhao spoke with exceptionally bluntness.

She scoffed, threw the storybook on the table, and looked quite disdainful.

Where do cultivators get so much compassion? They'd rather be in a good mood than cut you down for no reason.

Even if the surrounding forces have no past grudges or recent enmities with her, her small "Illusion Butterfly Mountain" must still merge with other forces in order to truly establish itself as a sect.

Huandie Mountain is located outside of Tongzhou.

This place is near the two disputed locations, but it's a bit further south.

Tongzhou, also known as Yaozhou, got its nickname because, according to legend, many years ago, during a grand cultivation conference, a demon with mediocre strength, who hadn't even fully transformed, accidentally stayed here and missed his return journey.

The situation back then wasn't as dire as it is now.

This place still belongs to the Taibai Sect, but it's too remote and nobody cares about it.

The demon came to this edge of the continent, probably intending to cross the sea and return to its demon clan's territory. However, although it found the sea, its abilities were insufficient.

With no other choice, I had to stay here.

His appearance was different from that of humans, and his temperament was exceptionally unconventional, no different from that of a normal street urchin. At first, his reputation was particularly bad.

They steal here and there, and they don't even allow people to control animals. They steal donkeys and dogs from others in the middle of the night and release them back into the wild.

He was always causing trouble and was often chased all over the street with a broom.

It is always forging a fine sword.

It is said that there is an old friend whom he both loves and hates, waiting for a showdown in the future.

Another ten years have passed, and the Cultivation Conference has arrived once again. The demon cultivator originally intended to go to Zhongling City to reunite with the demon race and return home.

However, a band of robbers took advantage of the fact that the cultivators wanted to return to their sects and that the area was not properly supervised. They broke into the city, burned, killed, and looted. Their leader was a cultivator with some skill.

But the sorcerer didn't leave.

He said he had read a storybook called "The Three-Life Umbrella," in which the demon harms humans and the immortal saves them, shouting a line—

"Achieving immortality and attaining enlightenment begins today!"

It looked particularly comical when it shouted that sentence.

Its silhouette, wielding a sword and slashing at the bandits, was exceptionally valiant.

After this battle, the people in the city were united and realized that outsiders could not be trusted. However, the sorcerer said that he had found his home.

Seven days after killing the bandits, he disappeared without a trace.

Three or four years have passed, and there has still been no news of the demonic path.

After that, Tongzhou became more tolerant of the demon race, which is why demons are occasionally seen.

In Rong Zhao's view, the actions of this "Tongzhou sorcerer" were still somewhat justifiable.

After all, having freeloaded in Tongzhou for so long, he had to draw his sword and protect his neighbors when it mattered most; otherwise, he would truly become a lowlife.

Why was Shi Huai doing this?

Rong Zhao couldn't understand it.

Hu Sanlang had already finished reading the storybook and knew what Rong Zhao was angry about. He said:

"We can't become that kind of person, but we're also glad that there are meddlesome people out there."

Rong Zhao wanted to retort, but scenes from the Liquan Realm flashed before her eyes. She sighed and then changed the subject:

"Things are getting tense lately, so tell your men to keep a low profile and put the Queshan clan's affairs on hold for now."

"Judging from the messages that came back, it seems they are looking for some kind of Daoist Master Wuyan? He seems to have quite a high level of cultivation."

"Hey, this name does sound a bit like 'speechless'."

"But they must be at least at the Golden Core stage. I remember Wuyu was just a little cultivator who had just entered the Foundation Establishment stage."

"With such poor strength, I wonder if they would even be alive now..."

Zhu Wuyao is looking at a map.

"Hmm? It doesn't seem to be that far?"

The map that Senior Sister Gu gave us is somewhat outdated. It's not that she intentionally did so, but rather that the situation in this place is constantly changing.

According to the information she recently gathered, this Illusionary Butterfly Mountain is a newly emerging force in recent years, and its momentum seems quite strong.

The two leaders were a body cultivator with extremely high cultivation levels, and the other specialized in incantations, capable of killing people invisibly.

It seems that not only are the orthodox sects difficult to offend, but one should also avoid offending others when traveling.

It seems that both of these leaders are at the Golden Core stage.

I don't know which unorthodox path or how they came up with this group of forces.

Once you reach this level of cultivation, you'll be warmly welcomed to seek refuge with any reputable sect.

This world is truly full of risks...

Zhu Wuyao closed the map, feeling somewhat anxious.

The storage bag has been released into the sea, and the person has reached the safe zone, but is essentially trapped here.

Completely unable to move.

This place has already been surveyed, and there's no point in staying any longer. How are we supposed to find Ji Yuezhang's whereabouts now?

If it jumps back and forth in the border area...

No!

One should not defy the wind and commit crimes, lest one bring about one's own destruction!

As the saying goes, even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake. Her strength wasn't enough to dominate the world; at most, she was just a small mudfish crossing the river.

Have to think of a way.

She needs to see Ruan Ayao to see if she can use spirit stones to pave a way to send herself to another area. It would be best if there was a teleportation array so that she could also stay in Tongzhou.

Thinking of this, Zhu Wuyao suddenly stood up and walked towards the Taibai Sect disciples' residence.

I plan to give Ruan Ayao a surprise.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

Ruan Ayao doubted that she had heard correctly.

"Who?"

"Senior sister, the cultivator who walked out of the teleportation array with you a few days ago, she's back!"

Fortunately, the disciples of the Taibai Sect stationed here only knew the names of Luoye Yaoqiu and Zhu Wuyao, but not their appearances. Otherwise, they would have definitely come to see just how outstanding this person in the "tabloid" really was.

And Zhu Wuyao, naturally, would be a great disappointment.

Judging from his appearance and clothing alone, this person was unremarkable, even somewhat sloppy. At this moment, he was sitting on the stone steps in front of the door, eating dried fruit with a paper bag in his hand.

It has absolutely nothing to do with "peerless beauty".

But if you say that, Zhu Wuyao would definitely not be happy. The phrase "peerless beauty" has an expiration date. If it were her wielding a sword to kill someone, she would definitely meet the threshold of "peerless beauty".

But in most cases, you can only see them in the last few seconds before they die.

Not even a moment longer.

Because of the nature of the Falling Leaf Sword Technique, she needs to escape for a while before the actual battle.

Thinking about this, she was also a little puzzled.

Why do Shen Anzhi, Ye Xiaozhou, and others all have a powerful move, like "Yellow Springs Guide" or "Great Misfortune"?

This isn't something you automatically acquire after entering the Golden Core stage?

Could it be because she left the sect that the Star-Picking Tower didn't unleash its ultimate attack on her?

Taibai Sect.

Ruan Ayao raised her hand and slowly covered her forehead, then leaned back, feeling a sudden darkness before her eyes.

Is this autumn leaf, meant to invite autumn, about to bring calamity to the Taibai Sect?
