Chapter 86: Liu Jinzi
On the storied ship, a tall, middle-aged man in black robes cupped his hands in a salute toward the Golden Flying Boat.
This person was none other than Zong Yu, the sect leader of the Tianling Sect of the Nether Three Sects.
Having received news that Liu Jinzi was arriving immediately, he had come specifically to welcome him.
Only then did Liu Jinzi snap out of his thoughts: "Brother Zong Yu, long time no see!"
"Come over to my ship; I have something to ask you."
Zong Yu did not stand on ceremony and jumped directly onto the Golden Flying Boat: "Master, if you have anything to say, please speak freely."
Liu Jinzi asked: "It is rumored that the Gui Sheng Xie Yi has appeared in the vicinity of Diling City; have you discovered any traces of that elder?"
Before coming, Zong Yu had already told Liu Jinzi that the Nether Three Sects were searching with all their might for the whereabouts of the Gui Sheng Xie Yi.
Upon hearing this, Zong Yu's expression immediately darkened: "We used a male favorite to lure the Gui Sheng Xie Yi out."
"But this Gui Sheng Xie Yi did not act with integrity; he swindled our resources and gave us a fake prescription!"
Mentioning the Gui Sheng Xie Yi made his anger flare up.
He had swindled the Diling Sect of everything, completely disrupting the plans of the three sects.
"Ah?" Liu Jinzi was instantly dumbfounded, "You say the elder Gui Sheng Xie Yi gave someone a fake prescription?"
"That's impossible, right?"
The Gui Sheng Xie Yi would certainly treat people once he had accepted their items; for a master of such standing, reputation was more important than anything else.
At this moment, he suspected that Zong Yu was slandering the Gui Sheng Xie Yi, and he could not help but feel somewhat displeased.
How could Zong Yu not see through his thoughts: "On the day of the Diling Sect Saint Son's wedding, everyone in Diling City saw it; this matter could absolutely not be false."
"If Master wishes to seek medical treatment from him, you must be careful not to be swindled!"
Liu Jinzi still did not believe it: "Was the Gui Sheng Xie Yi you saw perhaps someone else in disguise?"
He felt that the Gui Sheng Xie Yi would absolutely never ruin his own reputation.
Zong Yu gave a cold snort: "The possibility of a disguise is very small; who would have the guts to impersonate the Gui Sheng Xie Yi?"
"It is possible that the Gui Sheng Xie Yi encountered something and his temperament changed drastically."
"Since Master has arrived, there is no time to lose; let us head to the Bahuang Demon-Suppressing Array immediately to break the array."
Zong Yu took out a Storage Ring and handed it to Liu Jinzi: "The agreed-upon reward, Master, please take a look!"
He did not want to continue discussing the Gui Sheng Xie Yi; the more he talked, the angrier he became.
Liu Jinzi did not immediately take the Storage Ring: "Brother Zong Yu, I have just arrived here; how about I rest for a day and we break the array in a few days?"
Having experienced what just happened, his thoughts were somewhat chaotic.
The Bahuang Demon-Suppressing Array was no ordinary array; one needed a calm mind and spirit to take action when breaking it.
Zong Yu was slightly startled, but he still nodded: "Keep the reward for now; once Master has rested well, we can break the array."
He felt some doubt in his heart; what had happened to this Liu Jinzi?
Liu Jinzi had sent word that he would break the array immediately upon arrival, saying he had other matters to handle and time was tight.
Why had he changed his mind now?
Liu Jinzi still did not accept the Storage Ring: "Brother Zong Yu, keep it for now."
"To be honest, we just encountered a matter..."
He recounted the details of his encounter with Lu Tianyu just now.
"What?" Zong Yu was also greatly shocked, "The Gui Sheng Xie Yi has taken on a disciple? When did this happen?"
In his view, the Gui Sheng Xie Yi was reclusive and eccentric and would absolutely never take on a disciple.
How did a disciple suddenly appear?
Zong Yu's expression became grave: "Recently, things regarding the Gui Sheng Xie Yi have been strange; there must be something fishy in this."
"It would be best if we remain cautious."
"By the way, Master said the Gui Sheng Xie Yi's disciple is a practitioner of Body Refining; can you describe his appearance?"
"Do you have any images of him in action?"
For some reason, he had an ominous feeling in his heart.
The Gui Sheng Xie Yi had left together with Changmei Laozu to obtain the Six-Petal Snow Lotus to reshape the dantian for Lu Tianyu.
And Lu Tianyu was a practitioner of Body Refining, and he had even killed Ming Tianqi, the pride of the Kulu Zong.
Could this Lu Tianyu have been taken as a disciple by the Gui Sheng Xie Yi?
If that were the case, the trouble would be huge!
However, things could not be such a coincidence.
Liu Jinzi used a spell to conjure the likeness of Lu Tianyu: "We do not have images of the battle at the time; it is this person, take a look."
After looking, Zong Yu shook his head: "It is not this person."
He let out a sigh of relief: "Master, please follow me to the Tianling Sect to rest for a few days, and we will investigate thoroughly."
"I always feel that this matter is somewhat suspicious."
"I will have someone go ask that old man Guo to see if their Tianshan Sect Saintess has gone out with the Gui Sheng Xie Yi's disciple."
A cold glint flickered in Zong Yu's eyes.
Almost at the same time, Lu Tianyu took out a communication bead and sent two messages outward:
One was for the Gui Sheng Xie Yi.
Divine Doctor, Liu Jinzi has already arrived at the Nether Sect; please come to the Bahuang Star Domain quickly to help stop Liu Jinzi from breaking the array, many thanks!
The other was for Bahuang Laozu.
Bahuang Laozu, Liu Jinzi has already arrived at the Nether Sect; the Gui Sheng Xie Yi will come to the Bahuang Star Domain to assist.
If Liu Jinzi comes to break the array, just leave him to the Gui Sheng Xie Yi to handle; you only need to focus on operating the Bahuang Demon-Suppressing Array.
After the message was sent, both of them replied almost instantly.
Gui Shen Xie Yi: I shall depart immediately, Sect Master, rest assured.
Bahuang Laozu: That is wonderful, I shall strictly follow Master's instructions!
Only then did Lu Tianyu heave a sigh of relief; he put away the communication bead and entered the cabin to continue practicing the Wood Dragon Fist.
The Bahuang Demon-Suppressing Array is a Great Array left behind by the ancestors of the Bahuang Star Domain throughout the generations; even if Liu Jinzi could break the array, it would not be something he could accomplish in a short time.
There is plenty of time for Gui Sheng Xie Yi to arrive and intervene.
On the side of the Nether Sect.
Zong Yu received news from the Diling Sect that Guo Zhuying had indeed left Diling City with a man.
However, regarding whether the man was a disciple of Gui Shen Xie Yi, Guo Laotou stated he had no idea at all.
Zong Yu felt helpless and could only send people to search in the direction Lu Tianyu had gone.
Unfortunately, they caught up to nothing and could only return to the Tianling Sect to wait for the moment Liu Jinzi recovered his state of mind.
Time flew by, and three days passed.
On this day, Lu Tianyu had practiced the Wood Dragon Fist to the Great Completion realm and came outside.
Guo Zhuying immediately walked up to him: "We will reach the Xuanqing Star Domain in two more hours; how should we prepare?"
After practicing sword techniques with Lu Tianyu for three days, she had been completely conquered by Lu Tianyu's fist techniques.
Even when she exerted her full strength, Lu Tianyu could still handle it with ease, and that was only using fist techniques of the earth and metal attributes.
During this time, she tried asking Lu Tianyu if he knew fist techniques of other attributes, and the answer she received was naturally that he did not.
Lu Tianyu's exact words were that how could one person possibly practice fist techniques of five attributes at the same time; that was impossible.
Lu Tianyu smiled slightly: "Wait for me for a moment."
He walked into the cabin and came out after the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.
Seeing the person who came out, Guo Zhuying exclaimed in surprise: "Grandfather, why are you here?"
This person was dressed in a white robe, his figure was withered and thin, and his body was hunched; who else could it be but her grandfather, Guo Boxiong?
