Zhu Tian: A journey of spiritual practice starting from Joy of Life

Chapter 287 Testing Fusu's Arrival at the Yin-Yang School

Half a month later, in the government office in Sanghai City, Leng Feibai and Fusu sat facing each other at the table.

On the table was a Go board.

"Master Qingyang, I've won again!"

Fusu placed a piece, ending the game.

Leng Feibai smiled and put the chess piece in his hand back into the box next to him.

"Playing chess is not something I am good at!"

Leng Feibai casually remarked, "However, sometimes, the decisive move in a game of chess is not on the board, but rather outside of it."

"Oh"

Fusu's curiosity was piqued, and he quickly asked, "What do you mean by this, Daoist Master? Is it an outsider giving you pointers?"

Leng Feibai's lips twitched upon hearing this, and he said helplessly, "Back when I was traveling the world, I once encountered two burly men playing chess at the foot of a desolate mountain in Qi. When the game was about to end, one of them suddenly sprang up, grabbed the chessboard, and smashed the other man's head to pieces."

Upon hearing this, Fusu was speechless. After a moment of twitching at the corner of his mouth, he said, "Can such a shameless method be considered the righteous way?"

"Young Master Fusu!"

Looking at Fusu's naive expression, Leng Feibai said helplessly, "I'm telling you, you need to be wary of your opponents. They might try to use dirty tricks on you! Even if you don't want to use dirty tricks yourself, you still need to be prepared for others to use them against you!"

Upon hearing this, Fusu laughed and said, "Daoist, you are overthinking it. Fusu is, after all, the eldest son of the Great Qin. How could anyone resort to such underhanded tricks to deal with me!"

"Oh!"

Leng Feibai looked at Fusu's face, used his mental power to sense the surroundings, and after confirming that there was no one around, he said in a low voice, "What if someone forges an imperial edict and orders you to commit suicide, young master? What will you do then?"

These words struck him like a bolt from the blue. Even with his good temper, Fusu's face instantly turned angry.

"Master Qingyang, what do you mean by this?!"

Fusu stood up abruptly and said, "Father is wise and mighty, how could he listen to the words of a villain? As for forging an edict, that's utter nonsense. Even if the edict wasn't written by Father himself, the Imperial Seal affixed to it has always been kept by Father personally. No one else would have had the opportunity to forge an edict!"

After hearing this, Leng Feibai shook his head helplessly and said, "Since Young Master Fusu thinks this way, I have nothing more to say. Farewell!"

After saying that, Leng Feibai got up and walked towards the door.

"Before you leave, let me offer you one last piece of advice. People's hearts are unpredictable. If you remain so naive, you are destined for utter defeat!"

Fusu's lips moved slightly after hearing this, but he didn't say anything. However, a seed of doubt had already been planted in his heart.

A moment later, Fusu looked up and shouted, "Someone come here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a servant rushed in.

"How long until General Meng Tian and his men arrive at Sanghai City!"

"It'll be in the next few days!"

Upon hearing this, Fusu closed his eyes tightly and then said in a deep voice, "Wait for General Meng Tian to come and invite him to see me!"

Outside Sanghai City, a medium-sized manor built in a bamboo forest sits.

This place was originally a summer retreat built by several nobles living in Sanghai City during the Qi State period.

After the fall of the State of Qi, this place was used for the leisure of important figures sent by the state to Sanghai City.

With a flash of light, Leng Feibai appeared outside the manor.

During this period, unless Fusu needed to contact him, Leng Feibai stayed here and rarely went out.

Inside the room, Leng Feibai found a place to sit down and focused his mind, closing his eyes to contact the dozen or so clones he had sent out.

After arriving in Sanghai City, in order to prevent any errors or omissions in the plot.

After leaving Youjian Inn, Leng Feibai immediately released twelve clones to closely monitor the city of Sanghai, the area outside the city, the port, the Mo family's residence, Xiaoshengxianzhuang, and the government office where Fusu was staying, in order to prevent anything from happening that he was unaware of.

The first to reply was Leng Feibai's clone sent to the port.

Although the port area was still closed to the sea, the clone quickly found the mirage ship that Leng Feibai had been longing for, based on the official ships that had set sail.

During this time, the two clones even wandered around the mirage inside and out several times, and were even able to draw a map of the mirage's interior.

As for the others, they helped Leng Feibai determine the progress of the plot.

Although thanks to Leng Feibai's intervention, Duanmu Rong escaped the fate of becoming Sleeping Beauty.

However, Jing Tianming and Xiang Shaoyu were still tricked into going to Xiaoshengxianzhuang to study, and Tianming was even tricked by Zhang Liang into playing chess with Master Xun.

Leng Feibai didn't pay much attention to this. After all, as long as it didn't affect his mission to smash the mirage, it didn't matter to him even if Donghuang Taiyi and Ying Zheng came to Sanghai City at the same time.

Just then, Leng Feibai received a message from his clone outside the city.

The Black Swordsman, Sheng Qi, has arrived outside Sanghai City.

Upon hearing this, Leng Feibai's eyes flashed with a sharp light. Sheng Qi was a true master even in the world of Qin's Moon.

Zhang Liang personally confirmed that Sheng Qi's strength was no less than that of Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang.

With nothing else to do, Leng Feibai had the idea of ​​finding Sheng Qi to fight.

Thinking of this, Leng Feibai immediately ordered his clones inside and outside the city to keep a close watch on the situation around Sanghai City, and to notify him immediately if they discovered any trace of the Yin Yang Clan's arrival.

As soon as the news spread, Leng Feibai created another clone in mid-air and left it at his residence.

He then transformed into a beam of light and flew towards Sheng Qi's direction.

The scene shifts to the woods outside Sanghai City, where Sheng Qi, a black swordsman carrying the heavy sword Juque and covered in script from seven different countries, is heading towards Sanghai City with a suppressed expression.

For the sake of what he was pursuing, he had no choice but to obey the Luo Wang group and help them find Gai Nie in order to obtain information about the person he had been searching for.

But at that moment, a surge of true energy directly caught his attention.

Sheng Qi looked up and saw a figure he had never seen before, wearing a dark black hood, with only his eyes showing.

He was completely shrouded in a black robe, holding an iron mace in his hand, looking at himself with a playful expression.

"Who are you!"

Sheng Qi looked at the person who had suddenly appeared, a hint of fear flashing in his eyes.

"hehe"

Having completed his disguise, Leng Feibai chuckled and raised his long-unused Kanglong Mace, saying, "Chen Sheng, leader of the Kuiwei Hall of the Farmer's School. He was falsely accused of defiling his siblings and killing his brothers, and was punished..."

"asshole!"

Upon hearing the person in front of him reveal his dark past, Sheng Qi, who already had a fiery temper, was instantly enraged and charged at Leng Feibai with his heavy sword, Juque.

"Well done!"

After Leng Feibai finished speaking, his five-colored true energy immediately covered the Kanglong Mace, and he swung it out in an instant.

A multicolored dragon of true qi roared out from the iron mace and pounced straight at the edge of the giant sword.

Soaring Dragon Technique: Dragon Breaking Through Clouds

The dragon soared for thousands of miles and crashed into the blade of the giant sword.

In an instant, Sheng Qi felt a violent tremor in his arms, and the tiger's mouth cracked open on the spot, bleeding profusely.

"Who are you!"

Despite the discomfort in his arm, Sheng Qi gritted his teeth and asked, "Were you sent by Tian Meng or Tian Hu to kill me?!"

"Those two guys are not qualified to order me around!"

Looking at Sheng Qi's appearance, Leng Feibai couldn't help but sigh, "I thought you could fight me, but you can't even withstand half of my strength."

After saying that, Leng Feibai released a beam of multicolored light from his hand before Sheng Qi could get angry, enveloping Sheng Qi.

As the light faded, Sheng Qi felt the soreness and numbness in his arm disappear. Looking up again, he found that Leng Feibai had vanished, and instead, a row of words was carved on the ground in front of him.

"To find Wu Kuang, return to the farmhouse!"

Upon seeing these eight characters, Sheng Qi's eyes widened instantly, and he looked up at his surroundings.

But there was no one around, as if the battle had never happened.

"hateful!"

Sheng Qi's punch shattered a tree that would take three people to encircle, sending a flock of birds scattering in all directions.

Who exactly is that guy? How did he know that he's been searching for his brother?

"Let's go back to the farm!"

Sheng Qi muttered to himself, but quickly put the thought out of his mind.

In any case, what I should do now is find Gai Nie and get the information I need from Luo Wang.

As for what the mysterious person said, he should perhaps return to the farmhouse in the future, but he must make some preparations.

Sheng Qi wasn't stupid. He knew that if he went back rashly, the only ones who would benefit were those two bastards, Tian Meng and Tian Hu.

Inside the manor, Leng Feibai, who had been returned to his room, removed his disguise, his face full of helplessness.

I thought the Black Swordsman might give me a pleasant surprise, but...

But now it seems that when Sheng Qi and Wu Kuang broke into the land at the age of twenty-four, the six elders of the farm family definitely let them win!
Otherwise, if the six elders of the farm family really wanted to kill them, they could have wiped them out in the first round alone.

After putting away Wei Zhuang, Leng Feibai yawned and prepared to get a good night's sleep.

But at that moment, his clone, who had been sent to keep watch outside the city, suddenly sent him a message.

"The Yin-Yang School has arrived outside Sanghai City and will reach the ferry crossing at dusk."

Upon hearing this, Leng Feibai paused, a glint of light flashing in his eyes. He quickly relayed the message to his clone who was waiting at the ferry.

Once the Moon Goddess and the others boarded the ship, they immediately went to find the Moon Goddess to find out the exact location of the so-called treasure.

After figuring it out, he sent the two clones directly to the location of the treasure to find out what exactly happened.

After giving instructions, Leng Feibai quietly lay down on the bed and closed his eyes to sleep.

As night fell and the moon rose, a layer of white mist enveloped the silent city of Sanghai for some unknown reason.

At that moment, figures slowly emerged from the quiet street.

Upon seeing this, the two clones hidden nearby immediately sent a message to the clone on the mirage.

Meanwhile, in another part of Sanghai City, Jing Tianming, Xiang Shaoyu, and Shi Lan, the female waitress of Youjian Inn disguised as a man, were all peeking from the rooftops at everything that was happening below.

"Mr. Ji is absolutely right!"

Xiang Shaoyu said in a low voice, "Yun Zhongjun of the Yin Yang School is the head of the five elders of the Yin Yang School. There is also Meng Tian's Golden Fire Cavalry..."

Seeing Xiang Shaoyu's depressed face, Jing Tianming reached out and patted his shoulder, wanting to say something to comfort him.

But the sudden appearance of the figure threw Jing Tianming into a panic.

Not far away, a sedan chair with distinctive features of the Yin-Yang School arrived at the main street below, accompanied by young men and women of the Yin-Yang School dressed in white and Yin-Yang puppets.

The people in the sedan chair were none other than the Moon Goddess of the Yin-Yang School and Gao Yue, whom she had abducted not long ago.

Jing Tianming was startled and jumped to his feet, wanting to rush down and snatch the person out.

Xiang Shaoyu reacted quickly, grabbing the man and covering his mouth.

"Boy!"

Xiang Shaoyu said in a low voice, "Those people down there are beyond our ability to deal with. Even if your strength has greatly increased now, you are still no match for them."

But Jing Tianming was in a state of great confusion and did not take Shao Yu's words to heart at all.

In addition, he had diligently practiced the internal energy and leg techniques that Leng Feibai had taught him along the way, which had greatly improved his strength.

Jing Tianming refused to believe that he, in his current state, couldn't win Gao Yue back.

"Shaoyu, don't stop me!"

After speaking in a low voice, Jing Tianming used his internal energy to shake off Xiang Shaoyu, then leaped down and landed directly on the ground.

The sudden appearance of the figure immediately disrupted the team's advance.

"ah"

Jing Tianming roared and suddenly threw a punch. A wave of energy burst from his fist, turning into a violent hurricane that sent the surrounding soldiers and the young men and women carrying lanterns flying to the ground.

"Moon, I'm here!"

As soon as Jing Tianming finished speaking, his entire body was filled with lightning, and he moved with lightning speed, rushing straight towards the sedan chair.

"So fast!"

Looking at the situation below, Xiang Shaoyu couldn't help but swallow hard.

Just then, several Qin soldiers used their weapons to prop themselves up and swung their long spears to block the sedan chair that had fallen to the ground.

"Step aside!"

Jing Tianming roared and unleashed a sweeping leg kick crackling with lightning. A blade of azure lightning burst forth from his leg, knocking several Qin soldiers to the ground.

The controlled Moon Goddess looked at the boy in front of her, whom she had just lifted from the Six Souls Curse not long ago, her eyes completely unmoved.

"Give me back Yue'er!"

As soon as Jing Tianming finished speaking, more than a dozen disciples of the Yin Yang School rushed up from around them.

Upon seeing this, Jing Tianming's legs crackled with lightning once more, and he unleashed a flurry of kicks in all directions with lightning speed.

The Yin-Yang School disciples who rushed forward were kicked away one by one.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Jing Tianming turned around and threw another punch. The milky white shockwave burst forth once again, knocking down the Qin soldiers behind him who were trying to rush over like rice stalks in the wind.

With his worries resolved, Jing Tianming turned to look at Yue Shen and Gao Yue in the sedan chair.

"You wicked woman, give Yue'er back to me!"

Jing Tianming roared and his figure transformed into a streak of light, rushing straight towards the sedan chair.

The Moon Goddess remained calm, not taking Jing Tianming seriously at all, and flicked her hand forward.

"Snapped"

A burst of energy shot out from her fingertips, striking Jing Tianming directly.

"Ok!"

Jing Tianming grunted and flew backward, the half of the jade pendant hanging around his neck flying off his body and landing on the ground.

The Moon Goddess looked at the jade pendant on the ground, a glint of light flashing in her eyes, and remotely took the jade pendant into her pocket.

"hateful!"

Jing Tianming struggled to his feet, and all around him were Qin soldiers who had caught up.

But at that moment, a burst of laughter echoed throughout the entire street.

"Hahahahaha..."

As soon as the laughter came out, everyone present felt a wave of dizziness.

The next moment, a plume of black smoke surged into the battlefield, instantly enveloping Jing Tianming and the two people hiding on the rooftop, and then disappearing into the distance.
