Wife, you didn't really drug me, did you?

Chapter 614 Clash Between Land Immortals

The news that Chen Jiu had defeated the fourth-level Molten God in four battles spread throughout the Great Qian Empire, leaving countless people astonished.

At the Tomb of the Living Dead in Zhongnan Mountain, a young girl in yellow, a descendant of the Yang family, was shocked upon hearing the news brought by her servant: "Huangzhou Prefecture, Chen Jiu Si?"

The servant remained silent, but the girl in yellow said, "To be able to kill Princess Boluo, who was at the fourth level of the Fusion God realm, is quite powerful. Even my father was not as strong as her back then."

After saying this, she sighed and said, "This world is becoming more and more incomprehensible. It seems that I cannot get too involved, or I will surely suffer calamity. As for those old guys, they are all thinking of taking advantage of the chaos to seize a chance to rise in the world. But it seems that destiny is in the hands of the new, not the old!"

As she spoke, the woman in yellow shook her head. Of course, these old guys wouldn't know about these things, or rather, even if they did, they wouldn't care.

With a sigh, the woman shook her head and said no more.

When the other old monsters saw this news, they were all utterly shocked.

"He slew Boro in battle; that was a fourth-level Molten God!"

"This Chen Jiu Si is a bit sinister. I thought he could kill Tie Jian, and that Tie Jian would be caught off guard and lose. But now it seems that things are not like that. This Chen Jiu Si does have some tricks up his sleeve."

"Yes, this generation of young people is really impressive. We all need to be careful."

"Oh, by the way, are you all going to the Taibai Mountain Dragon Vein?"

"How could we possibly miss such an opportunity!"

As the group of old monsters gathered to share information, a voice rang out: "What do you think Chen Jiu Si's cultivation level is? Does he really have the strength of a fifth-level Molten God, or even a terrestrial immortal?"

"If he has really achieved so much at such a young age, I think we should stop operating in the martial arts world. This era of great strife has nothing to do with us, so let's not humiliate ourselves!"

After hearing the cannibal's words, the group of old monsters exchanged glances, and one of them said, "I don't think he really has the strength of a fifth-level Molten God or even a terrestrial immortal. I'm more inclined to believe that he used some powerful secret technique."

"What secret technique could possess such power?"

Someone asked, and upon hearing this, an old monster replied, "The Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique from a thousand years ago should have such power."

"The devil disintegrates Dafa!"

Everyone was slightly taken aback upon hearing this. One of them spoke up, "The Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique has been lost for a thousand years. How can it still be mastered by someone now?"

"I'm just stating a possibility, something like this Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique."

Upon hearing this, the others were taken aback at first, then quickly said, "That's not entirely untrue; it's quite possible that we shouldn't say it."

After saying this, everyone looked at each other. After a long while, one of them spoke up: "If it really is the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique, then we can rest assured. After using the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique, one's meridians will be severed. Even if one doesn't die, one will be crippled. In other words, hehe... Chen Jiu Si is crippled!"

Upon hearing this, the group exchanged glances: "So, Chen Jiu Si isn't much of a threat after all?"

"No, this is just a guess. We need to find a way to verify it."

The group exchanged glances, and then one of them spoke up: "If you want to verify this, it's not difficult. You should have already found your respective agents in this war. Huangzhou Prefecture should be vulnerable right now, so why not send someone to test the waters?"

"Hmm, that's a good idea."

As the group was chatting, suddenly, another message arrived from a flying eagle. The old monsters were taken aback, took the eagle, and then saw the message it brought. Everyone was shocked.

"What! The Living Buddha Phagpa has ridden an eagle down to the south of the Yangtze River?"

"This, this is preparing to cause trouble for Chen Jiu Si. A terrestrial immortal is personally taking action. My God, Chen Jiu Si has quite the grand entourage."

"Yes, but this should be expected. Boluo is the face of Daqian. Now that the face has been destroyed, if Phagpa does not react, how will he convince the people in the future, and how will Daqian establish its national prestige? It seems that Chen Jiusi is doomed."

"Yes, it seems that Chen Jiu Si is doomed. He can kill Bo Luo, but can he kill Phagpa? When a terrestrial immortal makes a move, even a god can't save him."

Thinking this, all the old monsters shook their heads, feeling that Chen Jiu Si was completely finished. With the Living Buddha Phagpa on his side, what way could he possibly survive?
……

Land immortals are the strongest beings in this world, possessing a portion of the rules governing this realm.

Phagpa rode his eagle down to the south of the Yangtze River, heading straight for Anqing Prefecture. His purpose was simple: to kill Chen Jiu Si and save face for the Great Qian Dynasty.

At this time, Phagpa traveled all the way from Dadu, across Hebei and Henan, heading straight for Anqing Prefecture in Anhui. The whole process took only one day and one night, much faster than a fast horse.

The next morning, as dawn broke, Phagpa flew over Fuyang Prefecture. In just one or two more hours, he could travel through the prefecture and counties to reach Anqing. Once he reached Anqing, it would be the end for Chen Jiu Si!

Just as they arrived in Fuyang Prefecture, Phagpa suddenly frowned, his gaze becoming incredibly deep as he looked down.

Below was a suburban area, some distance from Fuyang Prefecture, where there was a small noodle stall. These noodle stalls usually sold to passing small vendors, but at this moment, an old Taoist priest and a middle-aged Taoist were sitting there.

The two were eating noodles there. The old Taoist priest ate very lightly, but he seemed to enjoy it. There was only a plate of vegetables on the table.

The middle-aged Taoist priest didn't say anything, but he didn't seem very interested in the bland broth noodles in his bowl.

The old Taoist priest glanced at the middle-aged Taoist and said, "Songxi, why don't you like to eat it?"

“Master, I travel outside the mountains all year round, so I don’t discriminate between meat and vegetables. After a long time, I’ve become picky about food and crave meat!”

The old Taoist chuckled and said, "Hehe, if you want to eat meat, then eat it. Do you know that your master only took you with him this time when he came down the mountain?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Songxi replied, "I don't know."

"Let me ask you this: if I were to fight that Living Buddha and let you run away, what would you do?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Songxi said, "I took off running."

The old Taoist priest said with satisfaction, "That's the reason. Eat the meat."

"Hey boss, give me a bowl of braised pork noodles, extra meat please."

"coming!"

The owner responded and immediately went to add more meat. Moreover, considering that the two were monks, the owner added an extra piece of meat for them. It was unclear whether this was to accumulate merit or something else.

Upon seeing the large bowl of braised pork noodles arrive, Zhang Songxi opened his mouth and began to eat heartily.

Zhang Songxi is the most low-key and unassuming person in Wudang, yet also the most intelligent. He oversees the entire Wudang Mountain intelligence system and maintains good relationships with various major sects in the martial arts world. Among the Seven Heroes of Wudang, he is the most discreet. Many people even overlook him at times, which speaks volumes about Zhang Songxi's prowess.

When Master Zhang came down the mountain, the Seven Heroes of Wudang wanted to follow him, but Master Zhang specifically chose Zhang Songxi to go with him.

At this moment, Old Zhang, who was eating noodles, slowly opened his mouth and said, "Since you're here, let's come down and have a chat."

The voice seemed to be talking to itself, and the stall owners below didn't hear what he was saying. But at that moment, Phagpa, who was riding on a divine eagle in the air, suddenly felt a thunderous sound in his ears.

At this moment, Phagpa glanced down and saw Zhang Laodao eating noodles. He frowned, hesitated for a moment, and then rode down on his eagle.

Ow...

A cry of an eagle startled the noodle stall owner, who exclaimed, "What a huge eagle!"

"Oh dear, how come there are people on that eagle!"

The boss was startled. He had seen plenty of people riding mules, horses, and oxen, but this was the first time he had ever seen someone ride an eagle. He wondered if it was even possible to ride an eagle.

The boss looked puzzled, but the divine eagle had already landed on the ground. Phagpa got off the divine eagle and said, "Songxi, go and get the master a bowl of noodles!"
Zhang Songxi was taken aback upon hearing this, immediately stood up, picked up his own piece of rotten meat, and said to the stunned boss, "Boss, give me a bowl of clear soup noodles, just like my master's."

"Ah, hey, hey, it's coming, it's coming."

The boss turned around and immediately started cooking the noodles. The noodles were ready in a moment, and Zhang Songxi brought them to the table. He then took the bowl of noodles to another table and started eating. What was happening at this table was completely beyond his level to manage or listen to.

Zhang Songxi thought to himself.

At this moment, Phagpa looked at Zhang Lao and said, "Master, how have you been? It's been many years since we last met."

Upon hearing this, Master Zhang said, "Hehe, yes, with you in charge of the capital, it's not easy for me to see you. Please sit down and eat your noodles, or they'll get cold."

Phagpa sat down, glanced at the noodles on the table, and chuckled, "You're really stingy, inviting me to dinner and all you offer is a bowl of vegetarian noodles."

"It's good to eat some vegetarian food and avoid getting involved in worldly karma."

Upon hearing this, Phagpa looked at Zhang Laodao and said, "Master, you are really overthinking things. The path to ascension in this world has been cut off, so what is there to fear about karma?"

Old Zhang said, "The Great Evolution is fifty, Heaven's Mandate is forty-nine, and one remains hidden!"

Nothing is absolute.

Upon hearing this, Phagpa looked at Old Zhang and said, "You've come all this way to stop me, you wouldn't have done it just to say this, would you?"

Old Zhang chuckled and said, "Is that not allowed?"

Phagpa said, "I've dealt with you, old Taoist, more than once or twice. Just tell me, are you here for that Chen Jiu Si?"

Old Zhang shook his head: "No."

"Then why did you come?"

"Why did the master leave?"

Phagpa said, "You don't know where I'm going. Fine, then I'll be clear: I'm going to kill Chen Jiu Si!"

"I'm here to stop you from killing Chen Jiu Si!"

Phagpa frowned and said, "Then why didn't you come here for Chen Jiu Si?"

Old Zhang nodded again: "I didn't come for him, I came to stop you from killing Chen Jiu Si."

"Old Zhang, this is so pointless. Why are you playing these cryptic games? You're just here for Chen Jiu Si."

"No, I didn't come here for him."

"Zhang Sanfeng, why don't you dare admit it!"

Phagpa was furious: "You must think that kid killed Boluo and is a promising talent. You just want to use him to overthrow our Great Qian, right? Isn't it that simple?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Sanfeng glanced at Phagpa and said, "Is that what you think?"

"If I don't think this way, what do I think? Did you come here for me? Old Taoist, stop being hypocritical!"

Phagpa looked at Zhang Sanfeng and said, "Is your brain not working properly? I've said it a hundred times, I didn't come here for Chen Jiu Si. Don't you understand? I came here for you this time."

"You bald monk, are you a sore loser? We made a pact back then: I won't go down the mountain to quell the demons, and you won't leave the capital to wreak havoc on the martial world. The younger generation's affairs are for them to handle themselves; we won't interfere."

"How can you go back on your word in the blink of an eye? You even rode an eagle down to the south of the Yangtze River to kill Chen Jiu Si? Are you crazy? Don't you have any sense of contract? Don't you understand the value of a promise?"

"Today, I'm here to teach you a lesson: a person must keep their word. You can't sit still after just one Boluo's death. If that's the case, shouldn't I have led my men directly into Dadu when Han Shantong died in battle?"

"You broke your own promise, yet you come here to question this old Taoist priest? Do you have the right to do so?"

"Hurry up, eat this bowl of noodles and go back, or this old Taoist will just go through the motions with you today. At worst, we'll die together. If I die, the Han people and the martial arts world may not be finished, but if you die, the Great Qian will be completely wiped out. Hehe, at that time, the collapse of the country will be right before our eyes. You'd better be prepared for the destruction of the country."

Zhang Sanfeng slammed his hand on the table and stood up, his face exuding an air of otherworldly grace, yet his aura seemed to have returned to the Zhang Sanfeng of forty years ago, during the Jiazi Demon-Slaying era.

He has always had a fiery temper, and although he has been cultivating his character for decades, when he finally unleashes it, it is still astonishing.

At this moment, Zhang Songxi, who was standing to the side, was so frightened that he didn't even swallow the big mouthful of meat noodles in his mouth. He had never seen his master like this before. He joined the sect relatively late. By then, his master had already gone up the mountain and become a legend in the martial arts world. Therefore, when he saw his master, he always had an air of otherworldly elegance.

But let's not forget that this was the protagonist of the Jiazi Demon-Slaying Ceremony back then. Who would believe that someone who could accomplish the Jiazi Demon-Slaying Ceremony would be a kind and gentle person?

The ethereal and otherworldly demeanor was a gesture of care for younger generations; Zhang Sanfeng's true nature was characterized by a fiery and passionate spirit.

Phagpa was stunned by Zhang Sanfeng's words. He looked at Zhang Sanfeng with his brows furrowed, while Zhang Sanfeng looked at him calmly and pressed down with his hands, saying, "Amitabha, you've got a bit too much of a temper. But Phagpa, we're both over a hundred years old. We should follow the rules. If we don't follow the rules, how can the younger generation follow them?"

Phagpa looked at Zhang Sanfeng for a long time before speaking, "Alright, Master Zhang, what you say makes sense, but the world is like this now. Whether I follow the rules or not, the Great Qian Dynasty will probably be overthrown. Since it's going to be overthrown anyway, I might as well turn the world upside down!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Sanfeng clenched his fist, and instantly, thunder roared in the sky, crackling and snapping.
Looks like they're about to take action!
