Xiuxian: I use magnetic fields to prove my truth

Chapter 330 Golden Light Master
Zhou Qing turned around and saw a bearded, dark-faced Taoist priest sitting in the next seat, along with several young male and female cultivators, who were looking at them with disdain.

This person was the same one who had argued with Zhou Qing earlier.

"Huanglong, your Purple Bamboo Sect thinks it can get a share of the pie in the Western Continent? That's far too presumptuous."

"That's what the dark-faced Taoist priest said."

A hint of apprehension flashed in Huanglong Zhenren's eyes as he said, "The Golden Light Master of the Golden Light Cave."

This Golden Light Master is an extraordinary person from the Central Continent.

He was originally an elder of the Fire Cloud Sect, a Golden Core sect. However, dissatisfied with the sect leader's control, he broke out of the sect and became a rogue cultivator.

The Fire Cloud Sect repeatedly sent people to besiege him, but he repelled them all. Even the sect leader Guo Yan suffered a loss at his hands, and later had no choice but to let him have his way.

Seeing that the sect could do nothing to him, Venerable Jin Guang became even more smug. During his travels in the Central Continent, he met eight other Golden Core cultivators who had similar experiences. Together they went into seclusion in the Golden Light Cave, calling themselves the Nine Immortals of Golden Light, and made a pact to work together to achieve the Great Dao.

These nine individuals are all highly skilled cultivators, among the best in the Golden Core stage. When they join forces, the vast majority of Golden Core sects are no match for them.

They are flexible and adaptable, never doing anything that might incur the wrath of the Nascent Soul Daoist Temple and the Four Great Daoist Palaces, and even trying every means to befriend them, so they have been living a more and more comfortable life in recent years.

Upon hearing that the Hongfa Daoist Temple had offended the Qingxu Daoist Palace and might face destruction, the Nine Immortals of Golden Light immediately became interested in seizing that sliver of an opportunity.

They knew that the affairs of the Western Continent were all decided by the Qingxu Dao Palace, and that the Xuanxuan Ancestor of the Liuli Dao Field was a close friend of the Luqing Ancestor of the Qingxu Dao Palace, despite their age difference. He held a very high position in the Qingxu Dao Palace and had influence over the matter.

So, taking advantage of the birthday of the Xuanxuan Ancestor, the Nine Immortals prepared generous gifts, and the eldest brother of the nine, the Golden Light Master, along with his male and female disciples, went to offer their congratulations, hoping to open a channel with the Xuanxuan Ancestor.

Master Huanglong knew he was no match for Master Jinguang, and the Purple Bamboo Sect was far inferior to the Nine Immortals of Jinguang. Even with the addition of Guzhuzi and Zhou Qing, they were still no match for the Nine Immortals of Jinguang. Therefore, he did not want to argue with Master Jinguang.

Master Huanglong laughed and said, "Who wouldn't be tempted by such a great opportunity? But if the Nine Immortals also want to try, it seems we'll have to give up."

Jin Guang Shangren said, "At least you have some self-awareness. With your few cats and dogs from the Purple Bamboo Sect, plus these idiots in front of you, you dare to get involved in this kind of thing? I think you've been blinded by greed. You won't even know how you'll die."

When Huanglong Zhenren saw that he spoke so rudely, he was very angry. However, just before he could lash out, he realized that this was the birthday banquet of Xuanxuan Laozu, not a place for a dispute.

Secondly, he was certain that he and his companions were no match for them, so he had no choice but to endure it.

But he couldn't help feeling resentful, so he could only sit sullenly in his seat.

Gu Zhuzi and the others were also greatly embarrassed.

Liu Wen and Xu Hui, the two juniors, felt indignant when they saw their respected master and senior being ridiculed.

None of them had ever gone on a journey before, and this was the first time they had gone out with their elders, so they were unaware of the power of the Nine Golden Immortals.

Xu Hui couldn't help but speak up, "My master doesn't want to stoop to your level. Don't push your luck!"

When Huanglong Zhenren saw that Xu Hui dared to defy Jinguang Shangren so recklessly, he broke out in a cold sweat and became vigilant, worried that Jinguang Shangren would punish Xu Hui.

Unexpectedly, while the Golden Light Master remained silent, a black-clad girl from another seat shouted, "When did it become your place to speak, you junior? You deserve to be beaten!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a beam of white light suddenly shot towards Xu Hui.

Master Huanglong's attention was entirely focused on Venerable Jinguang, and he hadn't expected the girl beside him to make a move, so he didn't have time to help. Xu Hui panicked for a moment and was about to use his magic to stop it, but it was too late; the white light was already close to his face.

He instinctively closed his eyes, thinking, "This is bad."

But after a while, he did not feel hit. When he opened his eyes, he found a hand reaching out in front of him. He saw that the white light had grabbed a small sword about three inches long.

Although the sword was small, it shone with a cold light that could penetrate the skin, clearly indicating that it was an extremely powerful treasure.

At this moment, the flying sword was caught by Zhou Qing and was still struggling, just like a small snake.

The woman in black was surprised to find her flying sword caught by someone's bare hands. She hurriedly tried to retrieve the sword using the unique sword-forging method taught by Master Jin Guang, but found that Zhou Qing's hands were unbreakable.

She said angrily, "Give me back my flying sword right now, or I'll get angry!"

Zhou Qing ignored her and instead carefully examined the flying sword in his hand. He discovered that it was not a physical object, but rather a wisp of golden energy that was stored within his body. When needed, it could be spat out to take a person's head.

This woman is truly spoiled and willful; she's willing to take someone's life at the slightest provocation, especially in such a situation. Clearly, she's been pampered and spoiled in her daily life.

Zhou Qing's magnetic field vibrated, completely dispersing the golden energy.

The woman in black felt her primordial spirit, which had been integrated with the flying sword, being shattered. She immediately felt a sharp pain in her head and her face turned deathly pale.

She burst into tears and said to the Golden Light Master, "Master, he destroyed my flying sword! Please avenge me!"

Master Jin Guang coldly looked at Zhou Qing and said, "It's you again, you brat! You're courting death!"

Zhou Qing glanced at him sideways and said, "Many people want me dead. Who do you think you are?"

Master Jin Guang said, "You lad, you're the first to dare to be so disrespectful in front of me. If I teach you to leave the Great Snow Mountain today, I will live in seclusion in Jin Guang Cave and never come out again!"

As he spoke, he took a breath, and a faint thunderous sound emanated from his body, about to unleash a sharp sword aura.

"Anyone who fights here will be expelled immediately!"

The disciples of the Liuli Dojo, who were responsible for maintaining order at the banquet, came over to warn the situation when they saw the dispute.

The Golden Light Master immediately withdrew his sword energy, glanced coldly at Zhou Qing, and said, "I'll let you live a little longer."

The two groups then sat down, but the atmosphere between them was extremely tense.

The woman in black had a pair of bright eyes that were full of anger, and she kept glancing over in their direction. Liu Wen and Xu Hui glared back at her.

Master Huanglong said with a bitter face, "Young friend, you were too reckless. How could you destroy her flying sword? Now you have completely offended Master Jinguang. He won't dare to do anything during the birthday banquet, but we're in big trouble after the banquet."

Zhou Qing laughed and said, "Why should you worry, Master? If he wants to cause me trouble, I'll take it myself and won't implicate you. What do you think?"

Master Huanglong said, “Young friend, why bother? We have already formed an alliance. Your affairs are my affairs. Besides, this matter was caused by that wicked disciple. You are just implicated by him.”
