The myth begins with the Lotus Lantern

Chapter 164 Zhao Sheng
"you dare!"

The fifth fairy shouted angrily. She actually knew that the situation was difficult, so she spoke directly as soon as they met, intending to make it impossible for Zhao Sheng to refuse. However, she did not expect Zhao Sheng to respond in this way. Although he had a family background and some skills, he was still immature. If it were not for the magpie fairy beside her, who suddenly felt something was wrong and blocked it for her, she would have become a prisoner at this time.

But with this delay, things changed again. The fifth fairy reacted quickly. She raised one hand, and a white halo flashed, and a small jade seal was hanging above her head.

Zhao Sheng's hand was about to strangle the fifth fairy's neck and capture her in the next moment, but he stopped abruptly. His eyelids twitched and Zhao Sheng's face suddenly flushed, then turned pale. He was already living up to his peak performance in the past, and this time, he tried his best and forced the attempt to stop, and actually got a little injured.

There was a fishy and sweet taste in Zhao Sheng's throat. He swallowed it back, but the aftertaste became even more bitter. His original plan did not work. This was not a maid at all. He stared at the jade seal carefully.

The five fairies allowed Zhao Sheng to see everything clearly before taking back the jade seal.

"Meet my granddaughter."

Zhao Sheng's face changed again and again, his face trembling uncontrollably, the five fairies watched coldly, finally Zhao Sheng withdrew his hand, his face showed respect, he bowed deeply, to capture a nonsense maid without knowing it and to offend the granddaughter of heaven knowing it were two completely different concepts, the former could still be evaded, the latter would mean he would have to take all the responsibility, and feared that the entire Zhengyi sect would not be able to be saved, and even the founder would be implicated.

The fifth fairy didn't even look at Zhao Sheng. She walked quickly to the magpie fairy, with a flash of spiritual light in her palm, and stuffed the healing pill into her mouth. The latter swallowed it, and after a long while, her complexion looked better and she was able to get up.

"Master Zhao is so powerful. The maid's words cannot be trusted, but my words cannot be false." The fifth fairy's face was as gloomy as water.

"I dare not." Zhao Sheng forced a smile.

"Then please ask Master Zhao to call Taoist Wang, and we will set off immediately!" said the fifth fairy.

"Yes." Zhao Sheng gritted his teeth, bowed and walked out. As soon as the door was closed, he straightened his back, thought for a moment, raised the corners of his lips, and smiled again, with a sad look.

……

Zhao Sheng did not go to look for Wang Chang. He walked around the mountain gate, seemingly in a hurry, with his eyes calm as usual. Only he knew the infinite attachment in his heart.

Watched it for the last time.

After another turn, the sect's inner treasury was already in sight.

"Meet the head teacher, uncle."

Sensing Zhao Sheng, the two cultivators at the second stage of Yuanshen who were guarding the inner treasury hurried out to greet him.

"Open the warehouse door, I want to get something." Zhao Sheng said.

"Yes." The two souls agreed, and then, one on the left and one on the right, accompanied Zhao Sheng into the inner treasury.

"Huiyang water, snow lotus seeds, and purple dragon king ginseng..." Zhao Sheng gave orders one by one. The two souls took the things down without any doubt. After a while, Zhao Sheng had moved most of the inner treasury.

"Okay, take these first."

Zhao Sheng said, but he did not plan to leave. Instead, he turned around and walked towards a bronze door in the inner treasury. A flash of light appeared in his palm, and a token engraved with intricate patterns appeared. Then he used his magic power and the bronze door rumbled open.

There are three treasures enshrined on the Bagua formation platform: a pine branch, a peach wood sword, and a bright-colored talisman that is already a little damaged.

Zhao Sheng walked into the treasure house in the inner treasury.

The two souls looked at each other quietly. Although they had sensed that something was wrong with Zhao Sheng a long time ago, due to their past majesty, they finally showed it until this moment.

Zhao Sheng suddenly turned around and made a lightning-fast move, with two heavy palms imprinting on the chests of the two Yuan Shens. They spit out blood and flew backwards. Then, in the incredulous eyes of the two, Zhao Sheng swept his body and rolled up the pine branch and the talisman into his arms.

Afterwards, his body was as fast as lightning, and he turned around and rushed towards the guest house. Ignoring the horrified looks of the five fairies, his magic power turned into a big hand and he reached out to the five fairies and Magpie Fairy. Magpie Fairy had been seriously injured, and although he managed to resist for a while, he was ultimately powerless and was grabbed together with the five fairies. At this time, he seemed like a madman, no longer concealing himself. The magic power around him surged wildly, and the escape light reached its limit, and he fled out of the mountain gate.

"Clang!" There was a sound of sword ringing, accompanied by a soft sigh, and a shadow flashed in the air, blocking Zhao Sheng's way. This figure was wearing a coarse Taoist robe, which formed a sharp contrast with the gorgeous clothes on Zhao Sheng. He was thin and had a gaunt face. It was Wang Chang.

"Senior Brother." Wang Chang called out, his face still calm.

“Get out of the way!” Zhao Sheng’s cheeks throbbed. This time he did not deny the title of Wang Chang. He grabbed the fifth fairy and brought her close to him, shouting, “Do you know her identity? She is the granddaughter of the heaven. If she dies in the Zhengyi Sect, hehe, if you don’t get out of the way, I will kill her on the spot!”

"Brother, we can perhaps make a long-term plan, why do we have to do this." Wang Chang said. He looked at Zhao Sheng with sincerity and affection. Perhaps he was referring to the fact that Zhao Sheng had held the five fairies hostage, or perhaps he was referring to something else. Who knows?
"Let's take a long-term view? How can we take a long-term view? You have already ascended to heaven, so you can take a long-term view. But I don't have much time left. Last time, you watched me being besieged while you secretly achieved immortality. My body is exhausted and can't stand it anymore." Zhao Sheng said, while holding the fifth fairy tightly to prevent her from speaking. "Brother," Wang Chang pursed his lips and said with difficulty, "It's me. I'm sorry."

"Of course you have let me down. You have never been as good as me. When my master gave me the seventh test, he wanted me to inherit the Zhengyi Sect, but you stole it with such despicable means. Now you act like this, which is really shameful. You are the same as before. Anyway, I have offended this girl. Now I use her as a hostage and snatch this half-mountain foundation. If I try hard, I may have a chance to see the fairyland again!" Zhao Sheng laughed wildly, "If you have the means, just come and kill me. If you can't, just get out of the way, so that the Zhengyi Sect will not be affected and the whole family will be exterminated!"

During this time, all the spirits in the Zhengyi Mountain had gathered together. They looked at Zhao Sheng with disgust, complexity and disbelief in their eyes, but they no longer had the respect they once had. These looks pierced Zhao Sheng's heart like a knife, but he could only act crazy on his face.

"Get out of the way." Wang Chang said after a moment of silence.

Zhao Sheng smiled contemptuously, but when he turned around, his expression suddenly changed. The sword flashed, and without Wang Chang making any move, he stabbed from the side of Zhao Sheng, just avoiding the five fairies at the right time. With one sword, Zhao Sheng's defense seemed like a joke. His whole body was broken into two at the waist, blood spurted out, and his magic power became unstable. Quexian took the opportunity to struggle, and pulled the five fairies, and finally the man and the demon escaped from Zhao Sheng's control.

"brush!"

Seeing that Zhao Sheng was about to die, hatred appeared on his face. He opened his mouth and spurted out a stream of magic power, which hit the five fairies. The magpie fairy was startled and did not care about his injuries. He transformed into his true form and dodged to the side with the five fairies.

"Captain Wang, you are very good, really!" Zhao Sheng opened his eyes wide, and a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth, "But if you want to make me die today, I'm afraid you can't do it!"

Wang Chang said nothing, and the aura of a celestial being pressed down on Zhao Sheng, making him unable to move. Then a sword light fell from the sky, about to kill him, but at this instant, lightning suddenly appeared around Zhao Sheng.

"Five thunders!"

With a low shout, the next moment the lightning turned into thunder. The purple thunder surged and destroyed Zhao Sheng's body in an instant. It easily swallowed up the sword light that Wang Chang dropped. Then it spread around and turned into a sea of ​​thunder. In the center of this sea of ​​thunder, a talisman rose and fell like a small boat in the stormy waves. It was the one that Zhao Sheng took out from the inner treasury.

The surrounding Zhengyi Sect's souls dodged in a hurry, and the scene was in chaos for a while. Quexian could no longer hold back, and flapped his wings violently, grabbing the evil spirit and escaping out of the Zhengyi Sect's mountain gate.

"drink!"

Wang Chang had a serious expression. After several spells failed to extinguish the thunder, he let out a low shout, and the immortal sword that had been hanging on his waist was finally unsheathed. The sword tip passed through the middle of his palm, and suddenly a bright light flashed. After sacrificing the blood of the immortal, the sword stabbed out like a spirit snake, finally curbing the expansion of the sea of ​​thunder.

"That's it, ha!"

Zhao Sheng's wild laughter was heard in the sea of ​​thunder, with an uncontrollable tremor, as if he was enduring great pain. The next moment, a phantom flashed, rolled up the talisman in the sea of ​​thunder, and fled. Having lost its power, the sea of ​​thunder stopped expanding outwards and was instantly suppressed by Wang Chang's sword.

"Master..." The group of scattered souls gathered together again and someone spoke.

Wang Chang stood where he was, not chasing after Zhao Sheng's fleeing soul. After a moment of silence, he said, "Brother... Zhao Sheng's injuries are extremely severe. Even if he escapes, he will only be able to linger on for a few years at most, and his soul will naturally disappear."

“But the Five Thunder Talisman is a treasure of our sect, and there is also the Lightning-Struck Wood…” The disciple was about to say something else, but he saw a trace of blood flowing out of the corner of Wang Chang’s mouth. Wang Chang looked at him coldly, so he quickly shut up.

brush!
There was a flash of light and shadow.

Wang Chang's figure disappeared on the spot.

In the quiet room underground, Wang Chang raised his head and looked in the direction where Zhao Sheng left, which was Shechan Peak. While he was spreading his spiritual consciousness all over the mountain gate, some disciples were counting the losses in the inner treasury, and others were using magic to repair the traces of the war. In a short period of time, the respected Zhengyi Sect leader had become a rebel. In this huge mountain gate, perhaps he was the only one who knew what Zhao Sheng was carrying.

Such an act of betrayal would wipe out the sect completely to prevent it from falling into strife, but what about him? He was annihilated by lightning, his soul was like a dying candle, and he would not live long. After doing such a thing, it was still unknown whether this last bit of true spirit could be reincarnated.

Suddenly, he recalled that year when the sect’s battle formation was in danger. He raised his sword but was held down by his senior brother.

"It's not your turn yet, I'm your senior brother!" He walked away proudly, leaving behind a treasure to help people overcome their tribulations, and then he himself entered the fairyland. He was covered in injuries and had no way forward.

From then on, the senior brother became the junior brother...

It was so back then, and it is still so now. I am hiding behind him, and all I can do is to injure him severely, again and again. Perhaps when he comes to reckon with me one day, he will avoid the destruction of his soul because I have already died and reincarnated.

"Senior brother..."

After a long time, he could not hold it back any longer and a low sigh sounded, which sounded like a sigh. Wang Chang lowered his head, his eyes were calm, he could not make any extreme reactions, things had not crossed the line, he would not be searched, his mind could not be explored, but if he went back in time, his external manifestations would be vivid, even if his heart was filled with all kinds of emotions, he could only hold it back.

Wang Chang still had doubts in his heart. The granddaughter was gone, and the sect was cleaned out and would not be involved in the conflict, but these were only temporary. What should he do when the granddaughter came to visit again?

Brother, is your action this time just a temporary solution?
