Protagonist:

Xu Changqing

Hearing this, Xu Changqing lost interest in continuing to ask questions and continued flying toward the Rain Water Pavilion.

Just then, a male disciple flew over from the other side. He called out respectfully toward the man who looked like an ice sculpture, "Master!"

The fishing man glanced at him askance: "What is it?"

The male disciple hurriedly said, "Master, that fellow called Mo Sha has already run from the Rain Water Pavilion to the Spirit Beast Valley, demanding a duel with Chu Qiu by name, and no one can stop him!"

The fishing man curled his lip: "A squabble between juniors — what does it have to do with me?"

The male disciple's expression changed slightly, and he reminded him in a low voice: "Before the Valley Master went to the Nanguang Banquet, didn't she tell you to manage the Spirit Beast Valley well?"

"Day after day, so much troublesome business, purely delaying my fishing." Although the fishing man wore a look of displeasure, he vanished without a trace in the blink of an eye.

After a few breaths, the accumulated snow enveloping him finally fell down uncontrollably.

……

……

On the other side, Xu Changqing approached the Hei Hu again.

He could already see the nine-layered Rain Water Pavilion formed from condensed water.

Because of the bitter cold, many tributaries had frozen over.

But here, the black lake water showed no change whatsoever.

Let alone freezing over, not a single snowflake could be seen.

Splash~

Splish-splash~

As Xu Changqing continued to approach, he suddenly heard the sound of lake water surging from below.

He hurriedly lowered his head to look.

Only to see the water surface churning like a boil, ten thousand fish tails smashing the shimmering waves.

Red carp burst through the waves.

Big white carp leaped out of the water.

Grass carp, crucian carp, fish he recognized, fish he didn't recognize.

All of them emerged from the Hei Hu, numbering at least ten thousand.

They would sometimes surge forward.

Sometimes circle clockwise.

It looked as if they were following some kind of pattern.

Moreover, without exception, the surface of each fish was engraved with exactly the same spiritual runes.

Any fishing man who saw this scene would probably not want to leave for a lifetime.

Compared to the dumbfounded Xu Changqing, the surrounding Rain Water Pavilion disciples were already unfazed by the strangeness.

This kind of scene, although not an everyday occurrence, would automatically trigger the Myriad Fish Array whenever the Xuanwu or Tengshe beneath the water showed any abnormality.

Xu Changqing used his spiritual sense to scan, attempting to inscribe them in his mind.

But for some reason, he simply could not succeed.

Although these runes looked exactly the same, if one observed carefully.

One would discover that the runes interlocked ring within ring, appearing profoundly abstruse.

The water spiritual power here had become even denser.

Seeing this, Xu Changqing could only give up the idea of inscribing them and headed directly for the Rain Water Pavilion.

When he reached the entrance, he immediately took out Bai Ling'er's communication talisman.

"Hello?"

"I've arrived!"

"Wait a moment, I'll come get you right away!"

The communication was very brief.

After all, the two of them were about to meet face to face; there was no need to waste their respective spiritual power here.

"Something big has happened!"

"That's Lan Tian!"

"Oh my, simply too horrible to look at!"

Xu Changqing was waiting for Bai Ling'er, and Rain Water Pavilion disciples passed by from time to time.

He could always hear news about Lan Tian from these people's mouths.

They each looked quite excited, even shocked.

All at the fastest speed, running toward the inside of the Rain Water Pavilion.

Xu Changqing saw it in his eyes and felt curious, but because of his outsider identity, he could not enter for the time being.

Fortunately, Bai Ling'er did not make him wait too long.

She appeared very soon.

Today, she wore a set of plain-colored ruqun.

The style was quite elegant and understated.

Still, she was just as lively and cute as ever.

"You've finally come." Xu Zhangqing let out a breath of relief.

Bai Ling'er gave a hehe laugh and explained briefly, "I happened to run into Father on my way out."

Xu Zhangqing flipped his palm, and three roasted sweet potatoes appeared out of thin air. He handed them over while asking, "It's lively inside; did something happen?"

The moment Bai Ling'er saw the roasted sweet potatoes, her eyes brightened. She hurriedly cupped them with both hands and replied, "Lan Tian, ranked first among the Formal Disciples of the Water Control Pavilion, was beaten today — no, to be precise, he was thrashed!"

Xu Zhangqing was surprised: "There shouldn't be many people who can defeat Lan Tian, right?"

Bai Ling'er gnawed on a roasted sweet potato and said indistinctly, "It seems to be someone called Mo Sha."

Mo Sha?

This name rang a faint bell for Xu Zhangqing.

Zhao Ziyue and Chu Shixiong had both mentioned him before.

This person was born in the Northern Domain Desert and awakened three types of Spiritual Roots: Wood, Fire, and Earth.

It is said he has already cultivated the high-rank 【Linghuo Jue】 to full level.

Among all Foundation Establishment Stage disciples of the Immortal Sect, his strength ranks among the very top; even Chu Qiu is wary of him.

Unexpectedly, Lan Tian would actually be targeted by this person.

Afterwards, Xu Zhangqing followed behind Bai Ling'er and entered the Water Control Pavilion.

The First Layer gathered many Water Spirit Root Disciples, among whom were quite a few Spirit Talisman Apprentices.

Every single one of them was discussing the matter of Lan Tian being thrashed by Mo Sha today.

It could be seen that the impact was huge.

"This Mo Sha is simply lawless!"

"People from the Northern Domain, truly without any quality to speak of!"

"This matter won't end here; our Water Control Pavilion people share honor and share disgrace!"

"Well said; today he dares thrash Lan Tian, tomorrow he'll dare thrash me!"

"You're worthy of that too?"

For a moment, the Water Control Pavilion's First Layer was filled with miasma and chaos.

Only when the Steward stepped in did it quiet down.

Xu Zhangqing's gaze swept across; he did not see Lan Tian's figure — the other party should not be here.

Bai Ling'er waved her hand: "Come on, my father is on the Third Layer."

Xu Zhangqing nodded: "Alright."

Then, the two stepped on stairs formed of water, ascending step by step.

When they reached the Second Layer, they spotted Lan Tian at a glance.

At this moment, he was surrounded by a group of people.

Among them were familiar faces: Huo Wan, Shi Gandang, Rong Yan, Jian Hanxin.

Besides them, there were also some Formal Disciples of relatively high status within the Water Control Pavilion.

All of their expressions carried anger.

Xu Zhangqing narrowed his eyes and looked closely, discovering that Lan Tian's current appearance was indeed miserable.

His originally still-handsome face was now swollen like a pig's head.

His whole body was covered in wounds, with burn marks everywhere.

Even his eyes retained a trace of fear.

Obviously, this battle with Mo Sha should have left him with a lingering shadow he couldn't shake off.

But the more it was like this, the more curious Xu Zhangqing became about this person called Mo Sha.

Doing this, the ones he offended were not just Lan Tian.

Judging from the reactions of the Water Control Pavilion's many disciples now, everyone was very angry.

Unless Mo Sha doesn't need things like Spiritual Runes, Spirit Talismans, or talismans in the future.

Otherwise, today's commotion won't end well.

Bai Ling'er said with schadenfreude: "First time I've seen Lan Tian this miserable."

Xu Zhangqing asked in a low voice: "You don't get along with him?"

Bai Ling'er blinked her big watery eyes: "How to put it... I always feel this person is very hypocritical."

Hearing this, Xu Zhangqing was quite surprised.

The first time he saw Lan Tian, he had this feeling too.

This person, although his face always wore a kindly smile.

When others greeted him, he would nod in response.

But deep in his eyes, it was very indifferent.

Showing that Lan Tian looks down on those inferior to him from the bottom of his heart!
