Ziwei Immortal Path

Chapter 54 Feilaiju

There are few stars at night.

A girl wearing a crane feather cloak and pearls on her head sat in front of a chessboard on a stone table, holding a soft hand, three fingers as thin as green onions pinching a black piece, frowning in thought.

The girl was not very old, only about eighteen or nineteen years old, but she was already extremely beautiful, with an oval face, clear autumn eyes, and red lips, as if a bit of rosy red was inlaid on a white jade stone.

It is so beautiful as a picture, and it seems that the person is not from this world.

Opposite her sat a man in brocade clothes, about twenty years old, wearing an enamel hair crown, with a handsome face. His light yellow clothes were embroidered with strands of golden cloud patterns, and were straight without a wrinkle.

At this moment, he was looking at the girl in the crane cloak opposite him with a smile.

Behind the two men, two stone platform spirit lamps were placed in two corners, one on the left and one on the right, casting soft lights.

There was another person standing next to these two people. He was a middle-aged Taoist priest wearing a light green Taoist robe, with a smile on his face. It was Ding Tianshi.

At this time, the three of them were in a courtyard. The pavilions, towers, flowers, plants and trees in the courtyard were all exquisite. The only strange thing was that above the night sky, clouds were running and stars were moving.

"Ms. Yujun, you lose."

Ding Tianshi smiled and gently reminded him.

"Forget it, forget it. I won't play anymore. I've already lost three games in a row. Pei Yansu, you're really good. I, Jiang Yujun, admit defeat."

The girl in the crane cloak pursed her lips and gently put down the chess piece in her hand. She felt bored, yet still felt unsatisfied. She tugged at the crane feathers on her body and stood up.

The man in brocade clothes opposite laughed out loud, stopped, stood up and said:
"I was lucky enough to win by half a point, young lady. Thank you very much."

Jiang Yujun smiled, revealing her bright eyes and white teeth, and said crisply:
"There's no such thing as a half piece. You slew a dragon from me, and I'm powerless to turn the tide. The whole game is lost. Pei Yansu, do you, the Pei family of Jiangzuo Cangwu, only play chess and not practice?"

Pei Yansu frowned, smiled at Ding Tianshi, and did not answer.

The three of them chatted and laughed as they strolled out of the courtyard, only to find that there was no gate outside the cave entrance. Only ten steps away was a steep cliff!

And below the cliff, there was nothing but emptiness, it was actually thousands of feet high in the sky!

A huge black rock supported a house, chasing the stars and the moon, flying at high speed in the night sky!
Pei Yansu walked to the edge of the cliff and suddenly asked:

"Ms. Yujun, we should be arriving in Yuchuan soon, right?"

"Well, I guess it's about the same."

Jiang Yujun looked up at the cold moon in the sky, his expression slightly dazed, and asked lightly,
"Master Ding, your pupil technique is amazing. Look where we are now."

Ding Tianshi glanced at Pei Yansu and said with a smile, "Master Pei, I'm sorry to show you my ugliness!"

Pei Yansu smiled and waved his hand:
"I've long heard of the Huaiyou Immortal's "Spring in the Cave" pupil technique, a unique skill unique to Huaiyou, surpassing even the Green Gods. I'm fortunate to have witnessed it today, and I'm honored!"

"That's ridiculous!"

Ding Tianshi smiled and took two steps forward. With a casual move of his hand, a stream of clear water appeared out of thin air on his palm, making a tinkling sound and wiped over his eyes.

The clear water was sucked into his eyes, and the scenery below was immediately clear to him!
"Replying to Miss Yujun, we have arrived at Qingxuan Town."

It was extremely difficult to discern geography in the night sky, but Ding Tianshi just took a casual look and told it immediately.

"in this way."

Jiang Yujun nodded, "It will only take us half an hour to reach Yuchuan City."

"what?"

Ding Tianshi stared down, his expression slightly changed, and he said softly,
"There are cultivators fighting in Longmen Gorge. It looks like a big scene. I'm afraid it's an internal family fight."

"what?"

Jiang Yujun was slightly shocked, her pretty face sank, and she sighed:

"Nonsense! This is totally outrageous!"

"Now, the Sishui River is under fierce fighting, the East China Sea sea monsters are invading, and the Southeast Li is preparing for war and is ready to make a move. My Qingshen is facing internal and external troubles. To maintain peace in the territory and to protect the people from being harassed, the foundation-building cultivators of various families have rushed to the front line to defend the border, regardless of life and death. I didn't expect that there would be such ignorant fools in my Yuchuan territory, seeking death here?"

"Master Ding, Master Pei, let's go down and take a look!"

Pei Yansu smiled and nodded:
"Miss Yujun, you should go down and take a look! I took a sneak peek and I'm afraid there are more than just one or two families!"

Seeing Pei Yansu's casual words and gentle laughter, Ding Tianshi's face changed, and he was secretly terrified. He thought:

"This Pei Yansu is only 25 years old but he's already in the middle stage of foundation building. The Cangwu Pei family is well-known and truly amazing. No wonder they have three Huangtings and have been a powerful force throughout the country for hundreds of years. It's no wonder that their Pei family has firmly controlled the Jiangzuo blessed land and firmly sits on the throne of being the largest family in Jiangzuo."

Thinking of this, he pursed his lips and smiled slightly and said:

"Miss Yujun is absolutely right."

Jiang Yujun nodded slightly and said no more. Suddenly, a crimson compass appeared in his hand and rotated gently.

In an instant, the giant in the sky suddenly stopped, turned its head, and fell down silently.

Pei Yansu couldn't help but praise when he saw this:
"This [Fei Lai Ju] lifts heavy objects with ease, coming and going silently. It's truly a Huangting-level magical instrument, worthy of being the magical instrument of the feathered monk 'Liehuo Bianri'!"

Jiang Yujun pursed his lips slightly when he heard this. Whether this compliment was intentional or not, it was naturally very beneficial to him. However, it was rare for him to hear it from the Jiangzuo Pei family. He smiled and said:

"Pei, please forgive me for making a fool of myself. How could a small flying magic weapon be of interest to your Cangwu Pei family? The three feathered masters in your family are all great figures in the world. Any one of them can produce is an extraordinary magic weapon. Apart from the current Immortal, who can compare to them in terms of family?"

"No, no, Miss Yujun is praising you."

Pei Yansu chuckled, his words were humble, but his expression was open and he was quite high-spirited.

The water in Longmen Creek remains the same.

Seeing Xu Boyang sitting cross-legged to heal his wounds, Zhao Jiuchang fell into an awkward situation. He didn't expect that the boy who had just been away from him actually had a hidden sword technique that he had never seen or heard of before!
With one move, Wang Chuhui, who was at the seventh level of Condensation Yuan, met the King of Hell on the spot. Fang Desheng and Fang Zhinan struggled out of the water and sat cross-legged on a flying boat, apparently also practicing qigong to heal their injuries.

I was so shocked that I couldn't help but wonder who this person was.
"This person is only at the sixth level of Condensation Yuan, yet he faced a seventh-level, an eighth-level, and a sixth-level Condensation Yuan. He actually fought one against three, killing one on the spot and seriously injuring two. With such extraordinary skills, if he were in Luolin Town, he would have already become famous. Could it be that this person is not from the Kong family?"

This thought was not only in Zhao Jiuchang's mind, but also lingered in the hearts of Zeng Shuming, Wen Zaixian and Xu Boqing.

Kong Zhuoli, Xu Shaohua and Xu Bozhao on the black-sailed boat were so surprised that they almost laughed out loud, but at the same time they were worried about Xu Boyang's injury.

At this moment, the sky suddenly darkened, and the bright, cold moon in the sky suddenly disappeared without a trace. Everyone looked up in confusion, but their faces suddenly changed drastically.

A huge monster slowly descended from the sky, covering the sky and the moon, as if a huge mountain fell from the sky.

When Wen Zaixian saw the huge dark rock with towering pines and cypresses and looming buildings on it, he couldn't help but feel ecstatic. He quickly landed and stood on the river, bowing and waiting for orders.

"This is... the Jiang family's [Fei Lai Ju]!"

Zhao Jiuchang and Zeng Shuming were stunned, a chill running down their spines. They knew they were in trouble tonight, otherwise how could they have alarmed the Jiang family? They each put away their magic tools, quickly jumped into the water and stood there motionless, not daring to breathe.

Just as he stood up, he saw two men and one woman floating down from the huge rock. They were Jiang Yujun, Ding Tianshi and Pei Yansu.

When the people from various towns in Yuchuan saw the girl in the crane cloak, they were all shocked and their faces turned pale. Kong Zhuoli struggled to stand up, and even Fang Desheng struggled to pull his child to stand up, looking extremely terrified.

Only Xu Boyang was alone, sitting cross-legged on the ice with his eyes closed and concentrating.

Jiang Yujun, wrapped in a crane cloak, walked on the river, as if strolling in a garden, without saying a word. He glanced at everyone coldly. When he saw Wen Zaixian and Xu Boqing, his expression changed slightly and asked:
"Wen Zaixian, what's going on?"

"Miss Yujun, Zhao Jiuchang of Qinghui Town and Fang Desheng of Qingxuan Town robbed Lingxizi of the Kong family in Luolin Town. We ran into them, so we started a fight."

Wen Zaixian said it lightly and concisely, not only throwing Zhao Jiuchang and Fang Desheng into the abyss, but also clearing himself of all charges.

Zeng Shuming smiled to himself, rubbing his chin with his hands, and watched with interest. Zhao Jiuchang and Fang Desheng became anxious when they heard this. Zhao Jiuchang quickly explained:
"Miss Yujun, this is not as Wen Zaixian said. Two Lingxizi from Qinghui Town were stolen and ended up in the Wang family of Qingxuan Town. Wang Chuhui then sold them to the Hanguang Wen family. Now all the Lingxizi are on this white jade lotus. If Miss Yujun doesn't believe this, you can let the Lingxizi come out to confront me."

Fang Desheng coughed and said:

"Zhao Zhenshou is right. The Lingxizi from my Qingxuan Town were also sold to Wen Zaixian by Wang Chuhui. Furthermore, Wen Zaixian promised to give my family three Lingxizi, but he secretly made the deal with the Wang family. This is intolerable. My family simply cannot swallow this."

Wen Zaixian said angrily:

"Fang Desheng! How do I know where the Wang family's Lingxizi came from? What if the Wang family bought it from somewhere else? When did I ever say I wouldn't trade with your family about what we agreed to? Don't slander me!"

"Your family and Zhao Jiuchang took a peek at the Kong family's Lingxizi and wanted to seize it by force. What does this have to do with me? Miss Yujun has a keen eye. Stop talking nonsense!"

Zhao Jiuchang was furious and said:

"Wen Zaixian! You're confusing right and wrong, putting the cart before the horse. What's your point?! If you hadn't asked for the reason, and you and the Wang family had taken Lingxizi from me and the Fang family, and we were forced into a corner, how could we have all this trouble now?"

"With the town masters away, Miss Yujun has been entrusted by the Yuchuan-based Taoist priests, Liehuo Bianri and Nangying Yingxue, to manage the various towns on their behalf. Don't think that just because you're a Jiang clan member, Miss Yujun will favor you. Things are different now!"

"enough!"

Hearing the three people talking about their own things, arguing with each other, and dragging themselves into every sentence, Jiang Yujun was in a mess. He had no interest in listening to these trivial things, so he interrupted the three people's argument and said coldly,
"It's just nonsense!"

"The Lingxi Jiaozi is a great destiny set by the Immortal! It is also the ironclad rule established by the four immortal sects since the signing of the alliance! It is also the foundation of our Qingshen's ability to stand firm despite its decline in the sea for hundreds of years!"

"No one and nothing may violate this, but this is not an excuse for you to act recklessly!"

When people from various towns in Yuchuan heard Jiang Yujun speak coldly, they dared not say anything and nodded in agreement.

Seeing everyone bowing their heads, Jiang Yujun's expression eased slightly and he continued:

"If it were in the past, your master would have taken care of this matter. As long as it doesn't involve my Jiang family, I wouldn't bother to care whether they live or die! But now is an extraordinary time, and extraordinary measures should be taken! Since I have taken on this responsibility in front of Yu Shi, I will naturally not watch Yu Chuan fall into chaos because of this!"

After saying this, his eyes flashed like lightning and he glanced at everyone coldly.
"You are the guardians of each town, or the people around the guardians. Why don't you report to me when something happens to your own families? Do you think that since your masters are not around, you can act lawlessly? Do you think that you can do whatever you want? Do you think that you don't take me, Jiang Yujun, seriously?!"

Zhao Jiuchang was horrified when he heard this and quickly whispered, "Qinghui Town wouldn't dare!"

Fang Desheng said in a hoarse voice: "Qingxuan Town dare not!"

Zeng Shuming said in a clear voice: "Tianji Town dare not!"

Kong Zhuoli said in silence: "Luo Linzhen doesn't dare!"

Wen Zaixian said softly: "Han Guangzhen dare not!"

Pei Yansu watched quietly from the side. He really didn't expect that the girl who had been unassuming and smiling all the way would be so intimidating without even getting angry. With just a few words, she made all the monks lower their heads and remain silent!

Jiang Yujun's anger subsided a little.

"I already have a basic understanding of the situation of each town and each family in this exchange. The shortage is indeed quite large. I have discussed this with the two Yushi. I and Taoist Ding Tianshi of the Immortal Sect [Fire in the Sleeve] will be fully responsible for this matter. The sons of the various towns will be uniformly deployed by Yuchuan City. You towns are not allowed to interfere and are not allowed to trade privately anymore!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd was shocked, and for a moment everyone had mixed emotions, some happy and some worried.

"Ding Tianshi..."

Xu Boyang had been closing his eyes and practicing internal energy to heal his injuries. Just now, he had forced himself to use the "Cold Sky Shattered Jade Hail", which caused the spiritual energy in his body to be drained out, and he was even showing signs of exhaustion. He was horrified and did not dare to be careless. He quickly took the healing pill and has been recovering silently.

Fortunately, the "small elixir" given by Chen Baochong three years ago entered the Huangting of the abdomen, and it was like a torrent of heat, instantly filling up all the limbs and bones, making him feel warm. In just a moment, his exhausted [Shanyin Night Snow] finally recovered 20%.

Before this, he had never dared to take the medicine. Firstly, he remembered what Zhao Lingguan said that elixirs should not be taken beyond one's realm, for fear of counterproductive effect. Secondly, he was worried that the elixir would have the spiritual imprint of the immortal sect, which would cause trouble. Later, after checking "Shao Yuan Dan Ding Notes", he found out that there is no such taboo for healing elixirs. The higher the realm, the better the effect.

Besides, this place is far away from Jiangzuo, so it should be fine to take it this way.

The fighting had stopped and they heard voices saying someone was coming, but they didn't know who it was.

At that time, he was practicing the key point of the exercise and did not dare to be distracted. At this time, the situation in his body eased. He suddenly heard the crisp female voice saying the name "Ding Tianshi". He was startled and opened his eyes immediately.

Unexpectedly, when he opened his eyes, he saw Ding Tianshi standing in front of him, looking at him gravely. He immediately struggled to stand up and said:
"Master Ding."

As soon as Ding Tianshi landed, he saw Xu Boyang and was surprised. While Jiang Yujun was scolding the people from the towns, he floated in front of Xu Boyang. His spiritual awareness shifted, and he was even more surprised. He secretly shuddered:
"Good boy, after five years, he's actually reached the sixth level of Condensation Yuan! But he's not guarding Feng Qing anymore, so why did he come to Longmen Gorge to wade into this mess?"

With this in mind, he used his spiritual consciousness to ask:
"Why are you here?"

Xu Boyang heard the question in his ears, and he immediately used his spiritual consciousness to tell the whole story, and also talked about the situation of his uncle Xu Shaohua.

"My uncle is old..."

After hearing the whole story, Ding Tianshi couldn't help but sigh.
"It's still nearly two years before the Jiaozi payment, and I haven't even returned yet. Why is he so anxious?"

"I've already started preparing for the Lingxizi from Qingning Bay. This trip to Zhufen Wilderness with Miss Yujun and the Jiangzuo Pei family is precisely to help each family find their children. If there aren't enough people at home, all they have to do is pay for some spiritual stones. If that's the case, then tonight is a perfect time for you to take it back."

"Xu Boyang, I have been ordered by the immortal sect's celestial being Nang Ying Ying Xue to assist Miss Jiang Yujun in managing the affairs of Yuchuan. I work tirelessly day and night without a moment's rest. From now on, the affairs of Fengqing Town will be handed over to you and my uncle, who will take on more responsibilities for me."
