Chapter 150: Walking Hand in Hand

Walking Hand in Hand

The secret of the Shangqing Sect Master is not something that low-level disciples can hear at will. Among everyone here, the oldest is Zhong Sixteen, but he is only over a thousand years old. The secret of three thousand years ago is naturally told by the sect, which also shows the determination of the Taiwei Gate to take Ruan Rong away this time. Ruan Rong's expression changed several times, and her look at Uncle Tu and Qi Yueying had become a bit distant, but she still didn't give Zhong Sixteen a good look, and said coldly, "Even so, what can be done? I have already joined the Shangqing Sect, my real name has been recorded, and the cause and effect have been established. Even if my master really intended to deceive me, that is the internal grievance of the Shangqing Sect, and what does it have to do with your Taiwei Gate?"

"That's right, whether Xie Yan returns or not, and when she returns, those are things that can't be said clearly. Before that, as long as you are in the Shangqing Sect for one day, your master will not treat you badly. Magic treasures and spirit jade are even more at your disposal. You are only Foundation Establishment, but you can drive so many magic treasures, which can be considered a genius." Zhong Sixteen also smiled slightly, still looking confident, and said, "The sect is cultivating you with all its strength like this. You naturally feel that even if Xie Yan returns in the future, you can compete with her, and staying in the Shangqing Sect is the right path. But have you ever thought that you are only Foundation Establishment, and you are allowed to touch the aura of magic treasures. After you form the core, the aura is so mixed, how can you refine Donghua and pull the sword to dominate? Even if you barely pull the sword in the end, it will waste too much time and years. Xie Yan has always been the most outstanding person in ten thousand years. If she can return, it is a great achievement that few cultivators in the Langhuan Zhou Tian have been able to do since ancient times. Even if you make progress every day and don't take any detours, the chance of winning is not great, not to mention that in the Golden Core stage, you are destined to waste a lot of time?"

"The current plan is to follow me back to the Taiwei Gate, use the candle flame of the Heaven and Earth Six Harmonies Lamp to burn the cause and effect connection on the soul, and erase the aura of the magic treasure together. My master will use great magic power to help you form the core and pull the sword in one fell swoop. The Taiwei Gate has the Heaven and Earth Six Harmonies Lamp. If the Donghua Sword also enters my sect, it will definitely be able to unify the Central Continent, and even integrate the dozens of continents of the Langhuan Zhou Tian, so that in the Zhou Tian, orders are obeyed and prohibitions are stopped, and there will be no more disputes."

Zhong Sixteen's expression also gradually became solemn, vaguely revealing fanaticism, looking at Ruan Rong and saying, "Actually, when you reach Nascent Soul, you will naturally understand these things without me saying it. The Taiwei Gate is your best destination, but when you really break through to Nascent Soul, it will be too late. So I can only act at this time and take you away. You might resent me a little now, but you will thank me in the future."

He reached out and took Ruan Rong's jade hand. Ruan Rong frowned and struggled, coldly saying, "Absurd, you have said so many good things, all of which don't work. If I go with you, Yue Niang and the others will naturally inform the sect immediately. My master is enough to stain my name before True Person Qingshan finds me. If you want to avoid this, you can only kill all three of them here. You don't say a word, all of which are deception."

Zhong Sixteen smiled, "What are you afraid of? Don't worry, True Person Lin will definitely not do this. If you don't believe me, ask the Dharma Tu Pearl. His wife's roster is still in my master's hands—has no one ever told you that my master, True Person Qingshan, is True Person Lin's twin younger brother."

Even Ruan Rong was so surprised that her eyes were wide open, not to mention Both Both Ruan Ci. Qi Yueying was also full of shock. Only the Dharma Tu Pearl's expression remained unchanged, but this silence was not enough to convince Ruan Rong. She turned to ask the Dharma Tu Pearl, "Uncle Tu! Is this—is this true?"

Uncle Tu lowered his eyes and said, "This statement... is not false."

He was trapped on the edge of the candlelight, and even his tone sounded slow. Ruan Rong's eyebrows jumped slightly, and she said in a daze, "This... how can my master become a dao companion with a Taiwei disciple?"

Among the disciples of the prosperous sect, it is not that there are no marriages and becoming dao companions, but the three pillars of Qingtian have subtle relationships, and the Sect Master represents the fortune of a sect after all. Even if they marry, most of them are selected within the sect, or marry other prosperous sects and Mao sects. It is rare for True Person Lin to marry a cultivator whose roster is still recorded in the Taiwei Gate. However, Zhong Sixteen did not attack True Person Lin, nor did he discuss True Person Lin's wife, but sighed, "The seed of love enters the life, what can be done? The last time the sword envoy fell, when the sects were fighting for the Donghua Sword, True Person Lin's wife took action for the Shangqing Sect. Such an act of rebellion, our Taiwei Gate did not stain her name, and did not expel her from the sect. Today, the brother-in-law wants to accept a sword envoy disciple, can the Shangqing Sect really do things to the end? Do you know that before Xie Yan left, I don't know what kind of vicious method she used to make the true spirit of the Donghua Sword never reincarnate again. You are the only sword seed in the Zhou Tian now. If your name is stained and your Dao path is damaged, where can you find another sword envoy?"

He seemed to be talking and laughing without taboo, but his eyes were actually firmly locked on Ruan Rong, as if he was sensing her thoughts and feelings with all his strength. Especially at this time, his eyes were burning, and even Both Both Ruan Ci and the others felt as if there was an extra pair of eyes on their heads, examining their every move, and even the cause and effect connection was under the observation of those eyes. However, everyone's surprise came from nature, and even Both Both Ruan Ci, while savoring the many secrets, was also very surprised by the great power of the Taiwei Gate, secretly saying, "I'm afraid even the Shangqing Sect doesn't know about this, and the Taiwei Gate is already so certain?"

Ruan Rong frowned, "If you say so, does it mean that joining your Taiwei Gate is a hundred benefits and no harm?"

She was finally moved. Zhong Sixteen was overjoyed and said, "This is natural. To tell you the truth, the Taiwei Gate is not so keen on the sword envoy. There have been countless Donghua Sword Envoys since ancient times, and most of them cannot achieve Grotto-Heaven, just being glorious for a while and acting as thugs for major sects. Below Grotto-Heaven, our Taiwei Gate never takes it to heart. If it is a cosmic-level spirit treasure, the Taiwei Gate has been offering the Heaven and Earth Six Harmonies Lamp for generations, and it is not greedy for the Donghua Sword. If the sword seed is still naturally born, then just wait to see your results, follow the fate, and it is not impossible. It's just that since Xie Yan used such a sinister method, the Shangqing Sect cannot be allowed to mess around anymore, and we can only find a way to rescue you. Although it is not because of you, you have escaped the trap because of this, and you have to owe my master a favor."

"Little Senior Uncle—"

Qi Yueying was about to speak, but Zhong Sixteen didn't even lift his eyes. The candlelight suddenly flourished, and the stagnation force suffered by everyone was heavier. A sentence from the throat to the tongue seemed to take more than ten breaths, and the tone also sounded fragmented. Ruan Rong glanced at it and said anxiously, "No—Zhong Sixteen! If I go with you, then you must swear that the Taiwei Gate people must not attack the Shangqing Sect in the Cold Rain Marsh!"

Zhong Sixteen was naturally obedient to her at this time, and hurriedly smiled, "What's difficult about this? Don't worry, this won't hurt them, just delay it a little."

Only then did Ruan Rong let out a light breath, her beautiful eyes looking around, looking at Both Both Ruan Ci, Qi Yueying and the three, and then looking at Zhong Sixteen. Her expression struggled repeatedly, and her reluctance was revealed. Anyone could see the thoughts surging in her heart. Zhong Sixteen didn't urge her, just waited patiently. The ghost-faced girl stood behind Zhong Sixteen and made a face at Both Both Ruan Ci again. Zhong Sixteen glared at her, and she smiled and hid in the depths of the crowd.

I don't know how much time passed, Ruan Rong let out a long breath and said softly to Both Both Ruan Ci and the others, "Aunt Ci, Yue Niang, Uncle Tu, you have also seen it. This time, I have to go whether I am soft or hard. If I am not taken away, they will not give up. I have to let him go for the time being. Things in the future will be discussed in the future. Perhaps my master has already made preparations, and we will be able to reunite soon."

She didn't say whether she believed the secrets Zhong Sixteen said, which made people still have a glimmer of expectation for her return to the Shangqing Sect. A mocking look flashed on Zhong Sixteen's face, but he didn't point it out. Qi Yueying sighed, and her eyelashes slowly drooped. Both Both Ruan Ci shouted, "Sister—Sister—No—"

Her momentum suddenly rose, as if to contend with the lamp light. Ruan Rong's tone suddenly became extremely severe, "Aunt Ci, be obedient! Don't forget what you promised me!"

That sentence 'Sister, don't' was ultimately not finished. Ruan Rong turned around and didn't look at the three, and reached out to Zhong Sixteen—just now Zhong Sixteen wanted to hold her hand and take her away, but was rejected by Ruan Rong. At this time, this action naturally meant that Ruan Rong was already willing to go with him.

Zhong Sixteen was a complacent person, and at this time he was even more joyful, and even more afraid that Ruan Rong would pull her hand out, so he intertwined his ten fingers with her and held them firmly, but didn't leave. He turned back and shouted at the big-headed boy, "Hey, Fu Manzi! Your Qingling Sect has been suppressed by my strong luck again this time, do you still want to compete with me?"

Fu Manzi curled his lips, retreated, and shouted, "Zhong Sixteen, you owe me once!"

Zhong Sixteen raised his head and laughed, flipped his hands, and put away the Heaven and Earth Six Harmonies Lamp. The three people of the Shangqing Sect suddenly felt light. Both Both Ruan Ci shouted, "Sister!"

Ruan Rong looked back at her and smiled. Since she joined the Shangqing Sect and the sisters reunited, Ruan Rong always had a smile, and it was always elegant and generous, never losing the style of a famous sect. This smile carried a trace of cunning and triumph, as if returning to the time when the two were young, when Ruan Rong was still childish, occasionally teasing her sister, she would show such a smile.

Just at the moment when the Heaven and Earth Six Harmonies Lamp disappeared, the Wind and Wave Bell in her hand shook. Zhong Sixteen turned his head suddenly, and surprise appeared on his face. Just as he was about to drive the Heaven and Earth Six Harmonies Lamp, white light suddenly lit up between the ten fingers they were holding together. This was a scene Both Both Ruan Ci was very familiar with. Back in the South Zhuzhou, she was like this, pouring sword qi into Qu Qu Tan Yue's body. The weight of the Donghua Sword Qi in Ruan Rong's hand was unknown, but it was enough to disturb Zhong Sixteen, making him unable to light the Heaven and Earth Six Harmonies Lamp immediately. And she herself had that wonderful cultivation method, which could extract spirit jade magic power and strike the Wind and Wave Bell with all her strength!

"Be careful."

She seemed to say this to Both Both Ruan Ci, but the voice was drowned in the wind. In this extremely dangerous water area, I don't know when a strong wind blew up. The lamp light in front of Zhong Sixteen lit up, but Both Both Ruan Ci also noticed that her sister only drove the magic treasure twice, and at this time there were still hundreds of thousands of spirit jade left.

She might have poured all her spiritual power into the Wind and Wave Bell!

"Ding!"

A bell rang, piercing through void and reality. In this desperate water area that was already extremely dangerous, wind and waves were raging. Everyone was rolled up and thrown down by the wind and waves, sometimes up and sometimes down in this extremely heavy and deep water area. Even Zhong Sixteen's figure fluctuated. He barely urged the lamp light, but the lamp light only shone on a small area in front of the two. In front of Ruan Rong, Zhong Sixteen, and the Taiwei Gate disciples, the huge waves that rolled up and revealed seven-colored light were overwhelming! The space here was already very unstable. After the Wind and Wave Bell was struck, there were already signs of space breaking! In the huge waves that were black and thick and occupied the entire field of vision, the dozen or so people illuminated by the lamp light were simply as small as mosquitoes!

"Let's go together."

Ruan Rong's expression was still calm. Judging from her mouth shape, she said this to Zhong Sixteen with her head tilted. Their ten fingers were still tightly intertwined, but the Donghua sword light was gradually dimming—this Zhong Sixteen was indeed a ruthless person. If Ruan Rong hadn't struck the Wind and Wave Bell here, even if the sword qi was poured into the body, it could only delay him for such a little time.

Zhong Sixteen's expression was still stunned, as if he couldn't imagine that he had been forced to such a point by a sword envoy in the early stage of Foundation Establishment. He was about to speak, but the huge waves rolled over, and the light of the Heaven and Earth Six Harmonies Lamp was extinguished in a puff. Among the dozen or so people in the Taiwei Gate, several had turned and fled, but most were rolled into the waves, and their momentum disappeared. And the three people of the Shangqing Sect and Fu Manzi, who had been driven to the edge of the lamp light by Zhong Sixteen before, were also affected by this huge wave. They were hit by the huge force on the outer circle of the wave, each as if hit by a heavy blow, vomiting blood, or sinking into the black water area, or being blown high up, all unable to control themselves, and were rolled in all directions in the huge waves.

Updated from the draft box, sorry for the wait, everyone. Because I am typing on my phone, I won't say anything. The comments have exceeded 50,000, but I am still out of town. I will go home on Wednesday and see the situation on Thursday. I may go to Shanghai on Friday, or I may change the plan depending on the epidemic prevention and control situation in Shanghai. In short, the current goal is not to stop updating, and try to solve the added updates within this week. ===== CHAPTER 151 =====
