Chapter 372

"Huo Ku, Elder of the Mountain and Sea Pavilion, has come to pay respects to the mountain!"

"Shang Yue, Elder of the Asking Dao Sect, has come to pay respects to the mountain!"

"Chen Buyu of the Chen Clan has come to pay respects to the mountain!"

At noon, the weather was slightly gloomy, with dark clouds gathering in the sky, as if a spring rain was about to break out. Following this was a cold wind that suddenly blew in the city.

Here, three old men in gorgeous clothes with white beards and hair walked onto the Nishan Divine Path and bowed before the guardian formation.

Seeing this scene, the disciples of the Administrative Office guarding behind the mountain gate looked at each other, and then hurried toward the Administrative Office.

Before long, the three administrators of the Administrative Office got up and went to the inner courtyard, passing the news to Zuoqiu Yang, who had just returned from the Immortal Garden.

"Guests from afar are guests, not to mention they came in the name of paying respects to the mountain. There is no reason to block them. Let them in."

"Yes!"

Receiving the order, the disciples of the Administrative Office held the order arrow and opened the guardian formation of the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan.

Huo Ku, Shang Yue, and Chen Buyu looked at each other, then walked into Nishan.

Qin Rong had already arrived at the mountain gate with the disciples holding the order arrow. Seeing the three, he bowed slightly: "Three elders have come to the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan to pay respects to the mountain. I have been entrusted by Hall Master Zuoqiu to accompany you. I wonder which Hall Master you would like to visit first?"

"We want to see Ji You. I wonder where he is now?"

"This... Ji You is just an ordinary inner courtyard disciple. How can he dare to receive the visit of three elders? This is not in accordance with etiquette."

"The Dao has no order of precedence; those who have achieved are teachers. I have recently become interested in body refinement and want to ask for clarification. Perhaps only Ji You can answer this matter."

"This..."

Qin Rong pondered for a moment, then reached out gently to make a gesture of invitation.

Ji You was still in Cao Jingsong's courtyard at this time, not because they had endless things to say, but because Wen Zhengxin, Ban Yangshu, and the Lu sisters had come one after another after hearing the news.

Senior Sister Wen's cultivation progress was quite good, and she had already begun to prepare to charge the barrier with all her strength.

As for Lu Qingqiu, the Lu family, who had lost Yun Province, arranged for her to join the Administrative Office, while her younger sister Lu Hanyan worshipped under an elder and became a direct disciple.

Those in the Realm of Profound Understanding can already come into contact with Daoist techniques, so the Second Miss Lu had been watching the Dao discussion competition, especially the sword Dao of Spirit Sword Mountain.

"I have watched a lot of fighting techniques these days, but in the end, I still feel that sword Dao is more attractive to me. Back then, when I learned the sword from Senior Brother, Hanyan must have already planted a deep sword heart."

Lu Qingqiu listened to her sister's words and thought to herself, are you sure what is planted deep is the sword heart? Not something else?

After Lu Hanyan finished speaking, she suddenly seemed to remember something and said again: "There is one more strange thing. When I went to Spirit Sword Mountain to watch the battle, I found that the Little Jianzhu of Spirit Sword Mountain was always looking at me."

"Nonsense." Lu Qingqiu responded.

Her sister had been saying this for several days, and her ears were calloused from listening, but she didn't believe it at all.

Lu Hanyan pursed her red lips: "I'm telling the truth, she was looking at me!"

"That is the next generation Abbot of Spirit Sword Mountain. How are you qualified to be looked at by her?"

"I don't know why, but she was looking..."

Hearing the endless argument between the two sisters, the remaining few couldn't help but look at each other.

The Little Jianzhu of Spirit Sword Mountain is high above, one of the most powerful people in the world. She certainly wouldn't look at an ordinary inner disciple of another sect at will, but those who knew the inside story believed it very much.

Little Jianzhu is a jealous person.

She came just after the two sisters left Ji Village that day, but no one knew exactly when she arrived in Fengzhou. Maybe she saw the Second Miss Lu acting coquettishly to her husband.

Wen Zhengxin went to Fengzhou with Ji You to stroll around, and once secretly stretched her feet under the warm table, pretending to be touched by someone, although it was just out of curiosity about the feeling, but she was uneasy for several days when she saw the Little Jianzhu of Spirit Sword Mountain.

Ji You didn't solve the puzzle for the sisters, because the identity of the tsundere is special, and the marriage matter is very important. It should be up to her to decide who knows and who doesn't.

Even Cao Jingsong and others were told by her voluntarily back then.

His approach is extremely considerate of women, just like what Zhuo Wanqiu said to Ding Yao back then.

Being with the Little Jianzhu is something to be proud of, but it will also cause trouble for the Little Jianzhu, but the son-in-law has never given this pressure to the Jianzhu.

The sisters argued for a while and had no strength, but neither convinced the other.

So the topic changed, and it became a few people asking Ji You about the Sacred Land of the Sages.

This matter was spread widely in Shengjing, making them feel very worried after hearing it.

Because if that immortal spirit is really like the legend, capable of making the cultivation of the whole clan increase, then such a strange treasure will definitely make people all over the world jealous, and even the Xian Sects will be no exception.

And what they didn't expect was that their worries soon became reality.

At that time, the tea had just been brewed for the third pot, and the tea fragrance had not yet drifted out, when the courtyard door of Cao Jingsong was pushed open from the outside.

The first to appear from outside the door was Qin Rong. He looked inside with a solemn expression, then turned slightly to the side.

And as he turned to the side, the three elders of the Mountain and Sea Pavilion, the Chen Clan, and the Asking Dao Sect walked into the courtyard. Their faces were all filled with cold arrogance approaching numbness, matched with gray beards and hair and old age, looking very majestic.

Seeing this scene, everyone at the tea table put down their teacups instantly, and their eyes froze slightly.

"Which one is Ji You?"

Huo Ku stood still and spoke coldly.

He said this while looking at Ji You, indicating that he knew who Ji You was, but this kind of posturing had always been a common trick used by these Xian Sect disciples, highlighting their condescension and arrogance.

Ji You raised his head upon hearing this: "I don't know. Did you go to the wrong place?"

"You..."

"Do you know Ji You?" Ji You turned to look at Cao Jingsong.

Cao Jingsong shook his head: "What kind of dog thing, never heard of it."

"????"

Ji You thought to himself, this is public revenge, you should be careful with your tea leaves.

He complained, then looked at Huo Ku and said: "The three old gentlemen have also heard it. No one here knows Ji You."

"Ji You, who do you think you can fool with this trick?"

"So you recognize me."

Ji You raised his head again upon hearing this: "Since you recognize me, don't make this face. And you came to find me, you should report your family name first."

Huo Ku narrowed his eyes: "I am Elder Ku of the Mountain and Sea Pavilion, representing my sect. These two are Elder Buyu of the Chen Clan and Elder Yue of the Asking Dao Sect. Coming to see you today is for the lost object of the Sacred Land of the Sages."

"Lost object?"

"What you obtained in the mountain is not a heavenly spiritual treasure, but this object is of great importance. The specific origin cannot be revealed to outsiders, and you are not qualified to know. Now, after discussion by the five major Xian Sects, it has been decided to take it back and guard it in turns. You still need to hand it over."

Ji You raised his eyes: "The five major Xian Sects discussed and decided, but did you ask my opinion?"

Huo Ku's expression instantly darkened: "Ji You, those little troubles you had before were not punished, it was just that the Xian Sects had no time to deal with them. This object is of great importance. Don't you really think you can keep it?"

"That sounds really nice, then fight your way in."

"?"

Ji You stood up and looked at Huo Ku coldly: "That thing is on me, but don't forget that this is Shengjing, this is Nishan, this is the Daoist arena of the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan. If I don't go out, the only way for you is to come in and grab it? But I want to tell you, my Heavenly Tian Shuyuan will never surrender."

Hearing this, Qin Rong, who was standing at the door, changed his expression first, thinking to himself, this kid is really a dog.

You are afraid that they will go to Fengzhou to use force, so you came to Shengjing, right? It is our blessing that my Heavenly Tian Shuyuan has you.

As the words fell, the expressions of Huo Ku, Chen Buyu, and Shang Yue all darkened.

They had never really come into contact with Ji You, but they had heard of his eccentric temper and knew that he had always been extremely tough and gave no one face.

But they didn't expect that this kid would pull the Xian Sect to the opposite side in one sentence, and the words were full of danger.

In an instant, the aura on Huo Ku, Chen Buyu, and Shang Yue burst out, and the thick pressure made the dead trees in the courtyard tremble.

But after only being majestic for a moment, the pressure on them was suddenly covered by a hot aura.

Ji You narrowed his eyes, bright gold surging in his pupils, and at the same time, sword energy rose all over his body, mixed with a scorching aura, making them feel a little suffocated instantly.

They had discussed it before coming, and they must not do it.

Why?

Because this is the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan. Taking action against the disciples of the academy in their own arena is equivalent to declaring war on behalf of the sect. They cannot bear such responsibility.

But until this moment, the three suddenly realized that even if they really ignored the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan and took action, they seemed to have no chance of winning.

The expressions on the faces of Huo Ku and the three did not change, but their Dao hearts had already sunk to the bottom.

"You will regret it."
