Chapter 151: Reason is the Greatest

Xin Shisan Niang waved her slender hand, and dots of peach blossom malevolent qi broke the illusion. She stepped on the void, her clothes fluttering as she landed slowly. She glanced at the young Tao family disciple guarding the gap, her expression indifferent, and turned back to the disciple: "This Earth Aperture is guarded jointly by my Xin and Tao families! I am the Thirteenth Daughter of the Xin family. Where are the people from the Xin family?"

"This is not the time agreed upon by our two families. What is the Thirteenth Daughter here for?" the Tao family disciple asked vigilantly.

Xin Shisan Niang sneered: "Where are the people from my family guarding the cave entrance? This place doesn't belong to your Tao family either. I came to explore; do I still need your Tao family's consent?"

At this moment, someone whispered: "Is that the Thirteenth Daughter above? I am here!"

Xin Shisan Niang cast her gaze toward where the voice came from under the cliff, and almost exploded with anger. The Xin family member was cowering under the cliff; those who didn't know would have thought he was a thief. Xin Shisan Niang flew down, grabbed the white-faced boy by the ear, and lifted him up. She scolded fiercely: "I told you to guard this place, why are you shrinking below?"

The Tao family disciple said coldly: "I don't have the patience to be too close to this person; there's a fishy smell!"

Xin Shisan Niang just sneered, looking at the Xin family disciple. The white-faced Xin family boy said weakly: "I also reported it to the family, but Great-Uncle Six told me to endure it and not offend the Tao family."

"It's Great-Uncle Six again!" Xin Shisan Niang was so angry she couldn't even laugh: "It's fine if he's willing to use his goddaughters to recruit monsters. Anyway, it's his own people who are lost. The recruited monsters were killed, and he clamored to teach others a lesson. Clearly, it was the Tao family who tricked people into sending them to their deaths, but this time he is enduring it in every way!"

"Color-fierce and inner-cowardly, bullying the soft and fearing the hard... How come our Xin family is full of such men?"

Xin Shiliu Niang behind her also revealed a look of disdain, looking at the weak Xin family boy with dissatisfaction.

Xin Shisan Niang turned to look at the Tao family disciple, but heard him say arrogantly and indifferently: "Thirteenth Daughter, please go back! Before the agreed date, no one is allowed to enter... Moreover..."

He swept a glance at Qian Chen: "You even brought an outsider. When I report this to our young master, I will definitely have to ask the few old masters of the Xin family—what kind of reason is this for acting like this!"

The Xin family boy said weakly: "Your Third Elder often brings outsiders here..."

The Tao family disciple's momentum was even stronger: "What kind of status does the Third Elder have? Is that something you can compare with?"

Xin Shisan Niang was already so absurd that she couldn't laugh when she heard this. She just glanced at the person, and a faint pink ribbon in her hand flew over, binding the caught-off-guard Tao family disciple. That Tao family disciple never expected her to dare to make a move, and for a time, he was both shocked and angry: "Xin Shisan Niang, you actually dare..."

Xin Shisan Niang didn't have the patience to listen to what he had to say, and just patted another peach blossom malevolent qi over, sealing his mouth.

The Xin family boy's body shook, and he said weakly: "Thirteenth Daughter, that Tao family Third Elder often comes and goes. If he sees this..." Xin Shisan Niang's willow brows stood up: "Am I afraid of him?"

The Tao family disciple's face revealed a look of mockery, and he kept making muffled noises of anger. Thirteenth Daughter didn't need to untie his mouth seal to know what he wanted to say, which made her anger flare up even more.

The Xin family boy's body trembled, and he said weakly: "Tao family Third Elder is, after all, a Core Formation cultivator. I am also afraid that you will suffer, Thirteenth Daughter."

Xin Shisan Niang pointed down and said to the Xin family boy: "You watch him!"

Then she greeted Qian Chen to enter the Earth Aperture.

Qian Chen saw the Xin family boy's look of despair and guessed that he was worried that if he met the Tao family Third Elder, he wouldn't have a good end. With the Tao family's arrogance, being hung up and beaten would be light. He immediately laughed: "Don't be afraid, everyone is reasonable. You just need to explain this matter clearly. If that Third Elder still refuses to let it go..."

Qian Chen reached out and pointed, and the pale yellow silk ribbon hanging on his hand suddenly flew out and hung on the stone wall beside him.

He turned back to continue to the Xin family boy: "You just need to shout, 'Heaven is great, Earth is great, Reason is the greatest!' He will naturally reason with you calmly! If he still refuses to let it go, you ask him: 'In this world, what is the greatest?'"

Xin Shisan Niang saw the familiar pale yellow silk ribbon and whispered: "Does the Daoist friend have ten percent certainty? That Tao family Third Elder is also a Seventh-Rank Core Formation figure. If this magic treasure of the Daoist friend is taken by him, I really don't have the ability to get it back."

Qian Chen had long seen through that she actually had no confidence in facing the Tao family Third Elder and just wanted to enter the Earth Aperture first. No matter how tyrannical that Tao Third Elder was, he wouldn't dare to break in easily.

Leaving this Xin family boy behind was likely to give the Tao Elder a vent for his anger!

He didn't like this kind of behavior, so he laughed and didn't answer.

Xin Shisan Niang took a snub and set off first, wrapping herself in dots of peach blossom malevolent qi and transforming into a fragrant wind to fall into the gap. This mountain crack went deep into the earth's crust. Outside, it was just a gap, but inside, there were layers of caves, the path was complex, and there was Yuan Magnet qi disturbing the orientation and interfering with the senses, so it was extremely easy to get lost. He didn't know how the Xin and Tao families had discovered that Earth Aperture.

Qian Chen got up to follow and saw Xin Shisan Niang take out a palace lantern the size of a fist, emitting dots of brightness, illuminating the road in the cave.

The surrounding filthy qi, and even the Yuan Magnet qi, retreated when they encountered that cold and clear light, and were dispersed.

Shiliu Niang released a mass of five-colored miasma, containing the fragrance of a hundred flowers. Once it was unfolded, there were faintly falling flowers in the air, and the various colors were pungent. Qian Chen, however, easily distinguished that the fragrance hid mysteries. After smelling it for a long time, it caused dizziness and loss of true qi.

This was using the medicinal properties hidden in the fragrance of a hundred flowers, which, after mutual cooperation, triggered various fragrant medicines or fragrant poisons. This mass of miasma unfolded, incomparably beautiful, and added many wonderful uses, even making Xin Shisan Niang somewhat envious. But Qian Chen didn't quite understand why this miasma was slightly weak in protecting the body, so refining poison into it to increase its power was a common choice. But refining this hundred-flower fragrance into it could only make people dizzy, and the medicinal properties could only make people feel refreshed.

It would take some effort to stun a left-path cultivator at the Aperture Opening stage, and when fighting with a cultivator at the Penetrating Law stage, as long as the other party was on guard, it was almost useless?

Why not refine some poisonous miasma from the Great Marsh into it?

Unfolding it into a mass of rich and colorful, slightly contaminated, could make people turn into pus and blood. It was truly majestic and malevolent. If one hid a few highly poisonous insects in it, it would be a matter of covering the head of a cultivator at the Penetrating Law stage to secretly calculate them.

In this way, between raising hands, one could make the great enemy turn into a pool of pus and blood.

This kind of poisonous miasma protecting the body, five colors in a mass, brows cold and upright, would definitely have a temperament that was not angry but prestigious and made people shudder...

Xin Shisan Niang estimated that she had entered this earth cave more than once. Although sometimes she had to stop to judge the path, she traveled through it with ease, and soon went deep underground for dozens of miles. A cold air from the ground gradually attacked them. Qian Chen sensed the restless Yuan Magnet qi around him. The mineral fragments containing gold and iron here were gradually floating and standing upright.

"We'll be at the Earth Aperture hole soon! That Earth Aperture hole emits an ingestion power for five hours every day, and getting close might be sucked into the depths of the Earth Aperture. Another five hours, there is a huge repulsive force. Only in the two hours of Zi and Wu is it slightly calm, and one can get close. It's almost noon! Let's rest for a while, and then we can enter it."

Qian Chen thought secretly: "I actually want to take advantage of the time when the Earth Aperture emits ingestion power to enter the depths of the Earth Aperture in one go. Unfortunately, you definitely wouldn't dare..."

At the same moment, at the mountain gap, a ray of light flashed and fell toward the gap.

The Xin family boy guarding the cave entrance turned pale instantly. Seeing the light fall, it transformed into an old man with black hair and beard, but a bald patch on the top of his head. His momentum was quite strong. As soon as he landed and saw the Xin family boy, he frowned and scolded quite impolitely: "How dare you come up? Where is my nephew?"

A sound of muffled noises came from a place slightly deeper in the cave.

The Xin family boy swallowed a mouthful of saliva, his face pale as death.

That Tao family Third Elder waved his hand to sweep him away and walked into the cave in a few steps. He saw his own disciple tied up in a "four-horse bundle," his mouth blocked by a strand of peach blossom malevolent qi, his face showing indignation, and he was calling out there. The Third Elder was furious. He reached out and pointed, and a white smoke-like magic power flew out from his body, sweeping away the malevolent qi and untying it.

After the Tao family disciple could speak, he shouted: "Third Uncle, that little bitch from the Xin family, because I blocked her from entering this secret realm, tied me up. She broke into the cave herself!"

The Third Elder sneered when he heard this: "The Xin family has a lot of nerve!"

"This Yuan Magnet Earth Aperture secret realm appeared in the world. It was the Xin family who found the opportunity, and it should have been offered voluntarily when the Tao family gave the order. Who would have thought that they would cover it up like this? If it weren't for a few sensible people in their family who secretly reported it to the family head, wouldn't they have hidden this matter? If the family head hadn't considered that they had a few daughters who were good at blowing pillow wind, and allowed our two families to explore this Earth Aperture secret realm together, how could their family compete with my Tao family? Now they actually dare to step on our faces! This is really not knowing what's good for them!"

"Which daughter of the Xin family tied you up? I should take her to the Xin family to ask for guilt!"

"It was the Thirteenth and Sixteenth... and an outsider!" The Tao family disciple didn't dare to hide it.

The Tao family Third Elder revealed a cold smile and scolded even more indignantly: "Cheap maid, if this matter leaks even a little bit, I will whip her three hundred times!"

He turned his head and glanced at the terrified Xin family boy who was almost about to faint, and scolded the Tao family disciple: "You go and hang him at the cave entrance, whip him three hundred times first, and I will send a talisman book to call the few old foxes of the Xin family to watch the punishment and lead the people away."

The Tao family disciple climbed up, moved his hands and feet, and looked at the Xin family boy with a ferocious smile: "I heard you still wanted to reason with our Tao family!"

The Xin family boy's body swayed, and he was about to faint weakly. He was slapped in the face by him first, and his face was swollen.

He could only sit on the ground and cry!

The Tao family disciple lifted his sleeve, saw the pale yellow silk ribbon Qian Chen had placed aside, and sneered: "What did that Daoist order you, say it! Say it to me today?"

He didn't find a whip, so he untied the silk ribbon and held it in his hand. The Third Elder stood by and watched coldly without saying a word. This kind of lowly goods was not worth his voice. He really felt that even speaking two sentences to him was lowering his status.

The Xin family boy sobbed: "I don't dare!"

The Tao family disciple slapped him again: "I tell you to say it, so say it!"

The Xin family boy could only cry: "Heaven is great, Earth is great..." ===== CHAPTER 152 =====
