Xiuxian: I use magnetic fields to prove my truth

Chapter 38 Conflict
Wei Kuang said, "The Cliff of the Living Dead is where the elders at the peak of the foundation building stage in the sect go into seclusion. Some elders never leave the cave until their death."

"They possess powerful cultivation and strong minds. Even after death, their obsessions remain within the cave. Accumulating over thousands of years, they have become a force that can shock and awe people."

"In addition, some of the surviving elders have gone insane, howling horribly in the cave day and night."

"Many disciples were affected mentally when they entered the cave to complete their missions. After returning, they were also in a trance, seeing terrifying ghosts lingering around them day and night. It took several days for them to gradually recover."

Hearing his terrifying words, several people couldn't help but shudder.

Yuan Hongying said: "Even if there are no spirit stones available, I won't go to the Cliff of the Living Dead."

Zhou Qing smiled and said, "I understand these two taboos. However, since this is a mission assigned by the sect, someone has to complete it. Can we refuse to carry it out?"

Wei Kuang smiled embarrassedly and said, "It is indeed necessary to complete it, but it does not necessarily require us to complete it. Brother, have you forgotten that there are other registered disciples in Ziyun Mountain?"

Zhou Qing reacted immediately.

Qingyun Sect recruits disciples every three years, with sixty people in each class.

However, the promotion of registered disciples to full-time disciples takes place every ten years.

In other words, there are currently four classes with a total of 240 registered disciples in Ziyun Mountain.

Wei Kuang meant to leave these two difficult tasks to previous disciples.

This is a bit like harming your neighbor, so Wei Kuang has an embarrassed expression.

Zhou Qing smiled and shook his head: "How could the registered disciples of the previous sessions not know this truth? I'm afraid it will be difficult to shirk responsibility when the time comes."

Wei Kuang was about to say something when he suddenly caught sight of several figures slowly walking along the winding path in the bamboo forest, and he quickly stopped talking.

Zhou Qing and others also discovered the person coming.

There were more than ten of these people, surrounding a young man of about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a tall figure, handsome face and arrogant expression, who walked in front of Zhou Qing and others.

Wei Kuang's expression changed slightly. He leaned close to Zhou Qing's ear and whispered, "This is Fang Yuhe, the senior brother from the previous two classes. The one standing beside him and slightly behind him is Liu Bingxuan, the senior brother from the previous class. I'm afraid they don't have good intentions when they come here today. You two stay put. I'll go and negotiate with them."

Wei Kuang stepped forward, greeted Fang Yuhe, and bowed, saying, "Brother Fang, I heard a few days ago that you had broken through to the fourth level of Qi Refining. I was just thinking of finding a time to congratulate you. I wonder what brings you here today, Brother Fang?"

Fang Yuhe sneered and said, "Wei Kuang, you have completely disgraced us, and you still dare to appear in front of me."

"The eldest brother of Qingyun Sect has been our people for dozens of generations. But it was interrupted with you. Moreover, you were defeated by an outsider with only one spiritual root. How dare you talk to me? Back off!"

Wei Kuang and Fang Yuhe have always had a good relationship. They are both from the Qingyun Sect and grew up together.

Fang Yuhe was older and took better care of his younger brother Wei Kuang, and Wei Kuang naturally respected this man who was extremely talented and acted like a brother.

Now, hearing this brother whom he had always respected suddenly speak ill of him, and what he said was the same idea he had believed in before, Wei Kuang's face suddenly turned red and he was speechless.

He stood awkwardly between Fang Yuhe, Zhou Qing and others, neither knowing how to advance nor retreat.

Zhou Qing saw his difficulty.

Wei Kuang was being bullied for defending him, so Zhou Qing naturally couldn't turn a blind eye. He walked up to Wei Kuang, facing Fang Yuhe directly, and said with a smile, "But Brother Fang Yuhe?"

Fang Yuhe glanced at him and said, "People coming from the mortal world are always so ignorant of etiquette. Don't you even know how to call me Senior Brother?"

Zhou Qing raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "I am the eldest senior brother of this class. Since I am the eldest senior brother, how can there be any senior brothers above me?"

"Brother Fang said that Wei Kuang was defeated by an outsider. I wonder, in Brother Fang's eyes, is the founder of the Qingyun Sect, who came to Qingyun Mountain and founded Qingyun Sect, an outsider or an insider?"

Fang Yuhe immediately flew into a rage and said, "Who are you to dare to compare yourself to the Grandmaster?"

"I won't say much to you. I came to you today to persuade you to resign your position as the eldest senior brother from the Transmission Hall, so as not to bring shame to the Qingyun Sect."

Zhou Qing said, "Brother Fang, you underestimate Qingyun Sect. I'm just a registered disciple. How can I bring shame to the sect?" Fang Yuhe said, "Our Qingyun Sect is the leader of the immortal ways within a thousand miles. Every generation of senior disciples in Qingyun Sect attracts the attention of many sects and families."

"This generation's eldest senior brother only has one spiritual root. I'm afraid this news has already spread. If outsiders knew about it, wouldn't they think that our Qingyun Sect has no successor?"

"This position is not for you. If you know your place and resign voluntarily, I will look upon you with more respect."

Zhou Qing shook his head and said, "I don't mean to think highly of you, Brother Fang. It's just that your words really made me look down on you."

"Cultivating immortals requires a carefree and unrestrained life, but Brother Fang is burdened by false reputation. What a pity."

"If Brother Fang is truly determined to boost the reputation of the Qingyun Sect, he should cultivate diligently and accomplish something spectacular. Once others know what he has done, they will naturally not dare to look down on the Qingyun Sect."

"Brother Fang is doing nothing himself, yet he spends all day worrying about what those small families think of Qingyun Sect. He's really petty."

Fang Yuhe said in disbelief: "Are you teaching me a lesson?"

Zhou Qing sneered, "Why, can't I teach him a lesson?"

"I am the eldest disciple of this class. You are teaching my junior brother a lesson in front of me, so I can't teach you a lesson?"

"I, the eldest senior brother, was ordained by Elder Jin Mang. If you are dissatisfied, then go and complain to the elder and ask him to remove me from my position. Why are you nagging me?"

"You don't dare to stand up for yourself in front of the elders, and you can't stand up for yourself and make achievements to enhance the reputation of the sect. You only know how to show off to the disciples who joined later. I have never seen such a shameless person. Back off!"

"Be bold!"

"rude!"

"Let me teach him a lesson!"

Zhou Qing's words immediately angered Fang Yu and the disciples who came with him. They all shouted angrily and wanted to step forward to teach Zhou Qing a lesson.

Wei Xu and others also hurried to stand beside Zhou Qing.

Although they knew that the gap in strength between the two sides was too big, they could not retreat at this time.

"Stop it all!"

Fang Yuhe shouted angrily, stopping all his fellow apprentices.

He looked at Zhou Qing with a bad look in his eyes. Seeing that Zhou Qing still showed no fear and looked at him calmly, he said, "Having some courage is not completely useless. However, for a cultivator, the art of talking is useless."

"I want to see how long you can keep your stubbornness."

"go!"

Having said that, Fang Yuhe turned and left.

The people around him wanted to argue, but seeing that Fang Yuhe refused to respond, they had no choice but to follow Fang Yuhe and leave.

Only after Fang Yuhe and others had gone far away did Wei Xu and others finally feel relieved.

Wang Xiaohu said excitedly, "You curse so fiercely! Brother Zhou Qing, I've never seen you curse anyone so fiercely before."

Wei Xu said: "It's just too dangerous. If they take action, we will suffer."

Zhou Qing smiled and said, "They won't do anything."

He pointed to the courtyard gate behind them and said with a smile, "This place is within three meters of the gate, and is within the coverage of my family's restrictions. If they attack, they will be colliding with the restrictions. Although Fang Yuhe is arrogant, he looks like a smart man. How could he do such a stupid thing?"
