Chapter 754

~8 min read 1,458 words

Though the Long Xiang Seng did not show himself, relying on the intent of a Heavenly Dao Golden List–level expert, he also sensed the changes outside.

He also sensed the arrival of the Wu Dangqixia.

Seeing their arrival, the Long Xiang Seng let out an inexplicable sigh of relief.

These Wu Dangqixia, before the Great Contending Era, had no poor cultivation, and possessed resounding reputations throughout the Great Ming jianghu and even the entire Wu Lin.

The reason was that in the Wu Lin of that time, Earthly Immortal Realm experts all remained hidden from the world.

Even Zhang Sanfeng was still a single step away from the Earthly Immortal Realm.

But with Yunzhou's return, the Great Contending Era began.

Now even experts of the Supreme Mythical Realm are growing ever more numerous.

Let alone the Earthly Immortal Realm.

Within his intent, the Long Xiang Seng sensed.

Among these Wu Dangqixia, Song Yuanqiao and Yu Lianzhou still had the highest strength.

But they were only at the mid-stage of the Earthly Immortal Realm.

The other five — the weakest was only at the Absolute Peak, and the strongest had barely entered the Earthly Immortal Realm.

With Wu Dangqixia like this, how could they possibly take his life?

Did the Qinglong Society look down on him too much?

"Ancestor! Someone outside has come looking for you. Should this disciple go and deal with them?"

Jin Lun heard the commotion outside, investigated for a moment, and felt that with his own strength he could handle these seven.

Therefore he came before the Long Xiang Seng and volunteered to go deal with the Wu Dangqixia.

The Long Xiang Seng thought it over, and felt that though these Wu Dangqixia had come for him, behind them was even more the shadow of the Qinglong Society.

But these seven were of such low strength that he had no need to bother with them himself.

"Mm! Be careful and mindful — though these seven appear to be of low strength, they may have other means."

As the Jin Gang Sect junior he regarded most highly, he still gave Jin Lun a word of advice.

"Ancestor, rest assured, this disciple understands."

Jin Lun nodded, then took several Jin Gang Sect disciples and prepared to go intercept the Wu Dangqixia.

At this time, because Mu Huali did not dare block them, although the Great Yuan had many troops here, they let the Wu Dangqixia pass as if entering a realm of no men.

After entering the Great Yuan army camp, Mo Shenggu had been calling out for the Long Xiang Seng the whole time.

The Yuan troops did not dare to act against them, but neither would they show them the way.

The Seven Heroes came this time solely to avenge the destruction of the Miewudang Sect.

The Great Yuan was, after all, one of the three great dynasties, even though the Seven Heroes had the Qinglong Society behind them.

They kept their grievances clear and did not wish to drag others into it.

Therefore, within this vast camp, they walked and stopped, yet could never find where the Long Xiang Seng was.

Just when Mo Shenggu was so angry he was nearly about to burst out cursing.

Jin Lun, bringing the Jin Gang Sect disciples, finally showed himself.

558 — Do you make keys?

"Amitabha, what is the background of you few, that you charge about and make a great commotion within our Great Yuan army camp?"

Jin Lun uttered a Buddhist invocation and rebuked them.

On the surface he was rebuking the Wu Dangqixia, but in truth he also took a subtle jab at Mu Huali.

For Wu Dangqixia of such low cultivation to charge about within the Great Yuan army camp — it must have been at Mu Huali's instruction.

Although he knew the Qinglong Society's power was great and hard to curb, this still left him deeply uncomfortable.

"This little monk…"

Mu Huali, watching all this from the shadows, saw Jin Lun speak thus and could not help but break into a surprised laugh.

"Mu Huali, not to speak ill of you, but letting these seven brats charge about within our Yuan army like this truly damages the prestige of our Yuan army."

General Zhebie had long held a grievance in his heart.

It was just that Mu Huali was after all commander of the three armies, and he himself was under Zhebie's command, so he did not dare raise an objection.

Now he seized the chance, borrowing Jin Lun's words, to speak it out.

"No matter, no matter!"

Seeing Di Shitian also "saw" this at the moment, and transmitted his voice over,

"These seven are merely at the Earthly Immortal Realm — some of them haven't even reached the Earthly Immortal Realm.

With seven like these, anyone with eyes can see we are giving face to the Qinglong Society.

Besides, with just the seven of them, what waves could they possibly stir up."

The reason Seeing Di Shitian's attitude had changed greatly was, in truth, from seven days ago when he fought Di Shitian once again.

Apart from his trump card — one divine art he had not used — all the rest, such as the Heaven-Shifting Divine Art and the World-Destroying Demonic Body, had already been deployed.

Even the Heavenly Maha had been deployed.

Yet even so, Di Shitian actually revealed a look of disappointment, and then departed quietly.

Seeing Di Shitian could not even sense how Di Shitian had left.

Only then did he understand in his heart that without employing that divine art, he could no longer fight Di Shitian.

It was also from that moment that he came to understand the weight of those three words, Qinglong Society.

After all, according to what Mu Huali and the others had said, though Di Shitian's Wu Gong was high, he had actually submitted beneath Ximen Wudi, content to be a servant.

Only because back then Di Shitian had been directly injured by Ximen Wudi's aura alone.

It was precisely this tale that made Seeing Di Shitian understand all the more.

Why did Mu Huali react this way upon hearing the Qinglong Society?

Right now it was merely the Wu Dangqixia; in his eyes, they were just seven slightly stronger ants.

For such people, what harm was there in giving the Qinglong Society some face?

Over on the other side, the Wu Dangqixia saw Jin Lun and the others appear, and Song Yuanqiao immediately stepped forward to ask,

"Are you the Long Xiang Seng?"

The Long Xiang Seng was a recently ascended great master on the Heavenly Dao Gold List, and his cultivation was at least far higher than Zhang Sanfeng's on the Heavenly Dao Gold List.

But the monk before them, though oddly featured, had a faintly sunken crown.

Yet Song Yuanqiao could sense at once that this man's cultivation was at most about the same as his own.

That was why he had asked that uncertain question.

"I am Jin Lun, Sect Master of the Jin Gang Sect. Master Long Xiang is this poor monk's patriarch."

Jin Lun naturally would not impersonate the Long Xiang Seng, and stated his identity outright.

"Since you are not the Long Xiang Seng, then go and invite him out.

The one we seek is only the Long Xiang Seng."

Song Yuanqiao was polite and had no intention of making things difficult for Jin Lun.

Ever since they had broken into the Yuan army's great camp without any obstruction, he had understood that all of this was simply the Qinglong Society behind the scenes.

Added to that, the Wu Dangqixia put righteousness first and never bullied others with their power.

Therefore, along the way, although they had also seen other people,

they made brief inquiries; if others ignored them, they would not make things difficult either.

Hearing now that Jin Lun was a disciple of the Jin Gang Sect and that the Long Xiang Seng was his patriarch,

Song Yuanqiao still did not make things difficult, only thinking of settling the score with the Long Xiang Seng.

"You Central Plains people have a saying: when the master has a matter, the disciple takes the labor."

Jin Lun, however, stood his ground unmoved, and declared in a clear voice,

"Although I am not Master Long Xiang's direct disciple, I am after all his junior.

Your coming here is nothing more than seeking revenge against the Master.

I, Jin Lun, shall take it all upon myself."

"Just on you alone?"

The one who spoke was Mo Shenggu of the Wu Dangqixia.

Along the way, it was he who had been shouting loudly.

But once they saw Jin Lun, it was Song Yuanqiao who spoke instead.
