Chapter 218

Don't think his fight with Hu Meiniang was brief, but he exerted all his abilities, unleashing one spell after another, yet he couldn't wound Hu Meiniang; she remained completely at ease.

Obviously.

Hu Meiniang didn't go all out!

It was as if she were toying with him.

The pressure this battle brought him exceeded that of today's life-and-death fight with Shu Mu, where he abandoned his strengths and used his weaknesses to directly confront Shu Mu; even that was not as intense as the pressure from just now fighting Hu Meiniang.

For some reason, in front of Hu Meiniang, he felt an indescribable sense of helplessness.

It seemed defeat and even death were only a matter of time!

This time.

If it weren't for the fox borrowing the tiger's might scaring Hu Meiniang away, he wouldn't dare imagine what would happen!

Just what are those one after another golden barriers surrounding the courtyard?

Xuanqing Daozhang frowned slightly; in his mind immediately appeared: during his fight with Hu Meiniang, the battle's aftermath, as it was about to strike the Wang family compound, golden barriers instantly appeared one after another around the Wang family courtyard.

Blocking the rampaging battle aftermath!

Without exaggeration, these golden barriers' defensive strength surpasses the mana barrier he just deployed; the battle aftermath from his earlier fight with Hu Meiniang had already cracked the mana barrier he had set up.

Damage was merely a matter of time!

He wanted to repair those mana barriers, but there was no time; at that moment he was locked in a life-and-death fight with Hu Meiniang, daring not to be the slightest careless.

Although.

Hu Meiniang wasn't looking to kill him, but the demonic technique she unleashed was extraordinarily terrifying; if he couldn't withstand it, taking even one wave would either kill him instantly or leave him gravely injured.

How could he dare to be distracted at all?

Thus.

This also indirectly proves Hu Meiniang's terror: not long ago, when he and Shu Mu fought a life-and-death battle, the aftermath didn't even break the mana barrier protecting the Wang family courtyard.

Just as his mana barrier was about to shatter, one golden barrier after another formed in succession, thereby blocking the terrifying battle aftermath, preventing the Wang family courtyard from being destroyed and the sleeping people inside from being harmed.

Could those be Gold Light Talismans?

Xuanqing Daozhang pondered for a long time; a flash of insight crossed his mind, he found those talismans very familiar; before he could finish speaking, he shook his head and said:

No, they probably aren't Gold Light Talismans; the defensive power of Gold Light Talismans isn't that astonishing; they are likely an upgraded version of Gold Light Talismans—Intermediate Talisman: Copper Wall Iron Wall Gold Light Talisman!

Thinking of this, Xuanqing Daozhang grew even more curious: who would place so many Copper Wall Iron Wall Gold Light Talismans at the Wang family? A figure appeared in his mind—none other than Luo Quan, who had been here before.

He hadn't forgotten that Luo Quan had secretly delivered many treasures to the Wang family; out of concern they might be harmed, placing so many Copper Wall Iron Wall Gold Light Talismans is understandable……

Alright.

Actually, he still couldn't understand.

Logically, if Luo Quan truly wanted to protect the Wang family from harm, he should have set up a powerful formation at the Wang family to prevent harm, rather than casually scattering so many Copper Wall Iron Wall Gold Light Talismans.

Is it because he feared that setting up a defensive formation would be discovered by the Wang family members or others like me, or that the formation would affect the Wang family, so he merely placed a large number of Copper Wall Iron Wall Gold Light Talismans at the Wang family?

Xuanqing Daozhang thought for a long time but still couldn't fathom Luo Quan's purpose in placing so many Copper Wall Iron Wall Gold Light Talismans at the Wang family.

This time, if it weren't for the battle aftermath between him and Hu Meiniang being too strong, nearly harming the Wang family, those Copper Wall Iron Wall Gold Light Talismans wouldn't have been activated.

He never imagined the Wang family actually possessed so many Copper Wall Iron Wall Gold Light Talismans.

One can only say Luo Quan, being from a great clan and now serving in the Demon Suppression Office, is wealthy beyond what a lone solitary like him could imagine.

Regardless of whether it will affect the Wang family, this time we must set up a powerful formation at the Wang family! Xuanqing Daozhang said solemnly.

Today.

Having decided to stay a few nights at the Wang family, he had already guessed Hu Meiniang would come to the Wang family to sneak a peek at Wang Ping'an; he knew his own limits—although he had broken through to Golden Core, he was only at the early Golden Core stage.

He could not possibly be a match for Hu Meiniang!

Relying on his own abilities, not to mention defeating Hu Meiniang, even driving her away would be difficult; to protect Wang Ping'an he could only think of another way.

Setting up a formation at the Wang family is the best solution!

Just.

At that time, he.

He was seriously injured, needing to tend to internal and external wounds first; lacking proper materials nearby, he couldn't set up a formation at the Wang family anytime soon.

Of course.

Most importantly, he guessed Hu Meiniang would consider his staying at the Wang family; it was impossible for her to leave and then immediately return to sneak a peek at Wang Ping'an; she would wait a while, until his vigilance waned.

Only then would she come again to the Wang family!

In this novel you have reached

Never expected……

He was wrong!

Perhaps.

From the start, Hu Meiniang didn't take him seriously; therefore, even knowing he was at the Wang family and that he was now full of vigilance.

... she still came tonight stealthily—no, she openly rushed to the Wang family!

"Although this Lady Hu speaks unpleasantly, what she says is correct; with my meager abilities, I am not qualified to be Ping'an's master!"

Xuanqing Daozhang gave a self-deprecating smile, his face full of loss.

Actually, during his time at Ziyang Palace, he already knew his limits—just an ordinary Dao cultivator; back then, despite being mocked and ridiculed by others, he didn't take it to heart, nor did he clash with anyone.

Just.

After all, he is human, and humans have emotions and desires; being repeatedly mocked and ridiculed, how could he not feel angry?

However, he knows his own limits, and moreover he knows that those who dare to mock and sneer at him are either geniuses in Dao cultivation or scions of great clans—none of them have cultivation weaker than his.

If he really started a conflict with them, the only one who would suffer a loss would be himself.

He could only suppress this feeling deep inside, diligently cultivate, hoping that one day he could take revenge—but unfortunately, as time passed, he discovered the gap between himself and those who mocked and sneered at him.

It's getting bigger day by day!

Don't even mention surpassing; you don't even have the qualifications to chase!

He will take Wang Ping'an as a disciple; besides hoping Wang Ping'an can help him leave his name in history, he also hopes to use Wang Ping'an's hand to vent his anger properly.

Let the world know that he, Xuanqing Daoist, is an ordinary cultivator, but his disciple Wang Ping'an is not; the grievances he suffered back then will be repaid one by one by his disciple, so the world will no longer look down on him, Xuanqing Daoist.

He doesn't just want Wang Ping'an to speak up for him or even take revenge; rather, he wants to use Wang Ping'an's hand to throw back all those sarcastic remarks from back then.

Now it seems.

After a life-and-death battle with Hu Meiniang, he finally realized he was merely a frog at the bottom of a well.

Xuanqing Daozhang's face was filled with indescribable desolation; he self-mockingly said: 'Still, I might still be qualified to be an enlightenment teacher, but a true teacher must still be sought in Ziyang Palace; as for Luo Quan?'

He also lacks the qualifications to be Ping'an's true teacher; he's merely using Luo Quan and the Luo family to pull strings, making it convenient for Ping'an to obtain cultivation resources from the Luo family!
