Chapter 172: Old Ma Calls, Inviting Wang Ye

The path has been paved; whether or not he can walk it depends on Fang Dongtian himself.

But when it comes down to it, he originally did this to extend Fang Dongtian's lifespan; although it took some effort, for Lin Xuan, it was very worth it.

After all, Fang Dongtian is an elder who watched him grow up, so doing these things is only right.

"Old Fang is truly lucky!"

Zhou Sheng sighed with emotion, then looked at Lin Xuan, his eyes filled with envy.

As a practitioner, especially one who has spent most of his life on cultivation, one naturally wants to see the scenery of the path ahead.

Unfortunately, wanting to see this scenery is not easy at all.

This is closely related to every practitioner's own talent, opportunity, and even luck.

Zhou Sheng feels that he has had his share of opportunities and has seen some of the scenery ahead, but that is all.

On the contrary, Fang Dongtian has obtained such an opportunity at the end of his life; this luck is truly heaven-defying.

"Our cultivation emphasizes that wealth, companions, methods, and land are all indispensable; fellow Daoists who walk the path of cultivation together are also essential. Senior, practicing like this, I fear it won't work."

Sweeping his gaze over Zhou Sheng, Lin Xuan said with a calm expression.

"You speak easily, but not everyone has your methods. If I, this old Daoist, had your methods, the Jiashen Rebellion would not have occurred back then.

When it comes down to it, my cultivation is still insufficient."

Zhou Sheng sighed and said.

"That is true, people are different!"

On this point, Lin Xuan readily accepted it.

"Speaking of which, you should know Feng Baobao; since Zhang Huaiyi knew her, you should also know her."

"I cannot speak of this!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Sheng took a step back, his expression guarded.

"If you won't say it, then don't. I was just asking casually. Farewell, go and tutor your little grand-disciple."

Lin Xuan waved his hand.

Zhou Sheng did not linger upon hearing this. He had originally wanted to see if Fang Dongtian could break through, but he had come too early this time; he didn't know when this old man would come out of seclusion.

Zhou Sheng took two steps back, leaped lightly, and his body rapidly shrank, instantly turning into a bird the size of a fist, spreading its wings and flying away directly.

Seeing this scene, Lin Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly.

"The Eight Extraordinary Techniques indeed have many merits. This Wind Hou Strange Skill in his hands has a hint of the Monkey King's seventy-two transformations.

No wonder his nickname is Monkey."

After sighing with emotion, Lin Xuan turned his head to look at Fang Dongtian's room.

He could feel that Fang Dongtian's Qi was undergoing a transformation; although it was constantly changing, the speed was very slow.

Fang Dongtian's cultivation is sufficient, but he is old after all.

He is not like Lu Jin or Lao Tianshi; his natural lifespan had already reached its limit.

Now that he is forcibly changing his fate, the Dragon-Tiger Golden Core is effective, but whether he can use this opportunity to ascend to the heavens in one step, Lin Xuan cannot be certain.

Moreover, he has no experience in this area, so it is not good to intervene.

If it were to backfire, it would be disastrous.

He can only watch from the side to ensure no one disturbs him.

……

On the other side, inside Baiyun Guan.

After Zhang Chulan and his companion, along with Lu Linglong and Wang Ye, finished eating, they walked down the mountain together.

"You aren't staying on the mountain? With your senior brother by your side, a few pointers from him would be enough to benefit you greatly."

Wang Ye was somewhat curious about Lu Linglong's choice.

"Unfortunately, I am too weak; having my senior brother give me pointers is like using a cannon to kill a mosquito!"

Lu Linglong shook her head directly.

Then, the other three fell silent.

Of course, Feng Baobao was picking her teeth and didn't want to talk at all.

"What about you two?"

Wang Ye looked at Zhang Chulan and his companion.

"Since the matter is resolved, we naturally have to return; after all, there are quite a lot of things to do at the Company."

Zhang Chulan immediately gave an answer upon hearing this.

"Not staying in Jingcheng for a while longer? You helped me so much this time; I'll give you a good review later."

"Forget it, being by your side is definitely trouble. My Origin of Qi is already a big trouble, and now with you added, the two of us together mean endless trouble."

Zhang Chulan complained, but these words served as a reminder to Wang Ye.

"I didn't expect that even the Ten Elders, Kui Ye, would be tempted this time. It seems I cannot stay at home."

Wang Ye sighed.

"If you aren't at home, there are rules in place, so those people won't go after your family. After all, the Company isn't a pushover. But if you are there, then it's hard to say."

Zhang Chulan also understood Wang Ye's plan.

"However, regarding my family, I want to request that the Company send people to protect them."

Wang Ye suddenly said.

"You can just discuss that with the Company; we won't intervene. This isn't something we should be managing. Our mission is already complete, right, Sister Bao'er?"

"Ah?"

Feng Baobao looked up, her face blank.

"It's nothing!"

Zhang Chulan gave an awkward smile.

"Fine!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Ye did not insist.

The four of them traveled down the mountain together, then parted ways at the foot of the mountain.

Since Baiyun Guan had spoken up, there shouldn't be any problems with the matter.

Over at the Art Sect.

Chen Jinkui had indeed received contact from Luo Daming; Luo Daming only mentioned it briefly and didn't say much more, but Chen Jinkui still understood Luo Daming's reminder, or rather, warning.

Although the temptation of the Feng Hou Strange Skill was greater for him, Chen Jinkui, having seen that match with his own eyes, was even more wary of Lin Xuan.

Not to mention the existence of the behemoth that is the Complete Truth.

Since this method wouldn't work, it didn't mean there were no other ways.

Giving up was impossible; it would be impossible in this lifetime.

But to obtain the Feng Hou Strange Skill, this was not the only method.

However, the manpower sent out had now all been recalled.

Chen Jinkui was also pondering how to proceed.

Two days later, Wang Ye was in the middle of contacting the Company to discuss secret protection when he received a friend request from a stranger; after accepting it, he saw photos of a group of people beaten black and blue.

After looking closely, he realized it was the group that had been monitoring him and his family.

Wang Ye's heart stirred, and he had a bad premonition.

Could it be that another force had intervened?

Just as he was thinking this, his phone rang.

After Wang Ye answered, the person on the other end of the line spoke directly, identifying themselves.

"I am Ma Xianhong, the successor of the Eight Extraordinary Techniques' Divine Machine Hundred Refinements."

Wang Ye:...

"Don't misunderstand, I didn't kill anyone, I just taught these people a lesson. I'm looking for you this time because I want to invite you to come to Biyou Village for a visit."

Wang Ye held the phone and remained silent.

"Of course, this is an invitation, I won't force you. I'll send you the location; naturally, I really hope you can come over.

After all, in this era, we successors of the Eight Extraordinary Techniques are naturally on the same side, aren't we?"

"Alright!"

Wang Ye thought for a moment and said.

"Mm, I've sent you the location, I'll be waiting for you at Biyou Village."

After speaking, the call was hung up.

Wang Ye narrowed his eyes as he looked at the location information sent to his phone.

Looking at the location, it seemed like a decent place.

Wang Ye hesitated for a moment; he had indeed been planning to find a place to hide for a while recently.
