Two Worlds: The Demon Cultivator Mistakenly Enters the Lord's World

Chapter 34: The Life and Death Decision of a Fence-Sitter (3k)

"Why is Wang Yong here at this time? Doesn't he sleep with his wife in his arms at night?"

Listening to the Taoist's complaints, Old Xu's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Wang Yong came at a really bad time!
This Taoist with a ruddy complexion is the second disciple of Taoist Zhengyang. There is a lot of friction between Zhengyang Temple and Xuanyin Temple.

If the two met, Wang Yong had not yet entered the Taoist sect and his abilities were not strong. If he angered the second disciple of Taoist Zhengyang and was beaten, trouble might arise.

Wang Yong is from Xuanyin Temple. Abbot Lu of Xuanyin Temple is famous for being protective and unreasonable. If Wang Yong is hit, wouldn’t that be a slap in the face of Abbot Lu of Xuanyin Temple?

If that really happens, how can Old Xu surrender to Master Lu?
Compared to the Zhengyang Temple, which is a small and ugly Taoist temple that has not yet been built, Old Xu is more inclined to the Xuanyin Temple.

As a small figure in Dongping County and a fence-sitter, Old Xu dared not offend anyone.

"Old Xu, guests are welcome. Since Wang Yong from Xuanyin Temple is here, don't turn him away. Let him in to drink with us and chat!"

Seeing the conflicted look on Old Xu's face, the distinguished guest dressed as a warrior at the table, County Lieutenant Liao Zhi, had a cold look in his eyes and said lightly.

When Old Xu heard this, cold sweat suddenly broke out on his back.

County Lieutenant Liao Zhi is forcing him to choose between Xuanyin Temple and Zhengyang Temple!
Taoist Zhengyang's second disciple, Taoist Dongyang, also understood what the county lieutenant meant and looked at Old Xu with a bad expression.

Even at this time, Old Xu still wants to be a fence-sitter, playing both sides. What a wishful thinking!

"Go, open the door for Wang Yong outside! Invite him in for a drink!"

Taoist Dongyang waved his hand, and the Taoist boy following him immediately went to open the door.

Not long after.

Wang Yong's arrogant words, accompanied by heavy footsteps, were heard in the hall of the charity cemetery.

"Hey, Old Xu, you've really made it. After just a few days, you've already met a Taoist priest and even invited the county lieutenant to drink!"

When Wang Yong walked into the hall and saw Taoist Dongyang and County Lieutenant Liao Zhi sitting there, his heart suddenly trembled.

Both of these people are better than him.

But when he thought of the iron-clad brothers behind him, Wang Yong straightened his back immediately.

When looking at the two of them, he was not at all inferior. People who didn’t know him would think that Wang Yong was also a cultivator with powerful strength!
Wang Yong's arrival did not surprise the three people at the table.

However, the iron wall behind him, hidden under the black robe, was lifeless and chilling, which greatly shocked the three people at the table.

Where did such a master come from in Xuanyin Temple?

The three people at the table looked at each other, and this thought came to their minds almost at the same time.

They all knew that Master Lu of Xuanyin Temple was powerful, but the person in front of them was obviously not Master Lu of Xuanyin Temple. Where did he come from?
They looked at each other in silence. None of the three people at the table could guess the origin of Tiebi, but the disdain and arrogance on their faces suddenly disappeared.

"Come, come, Brother Wang, you are a guest. I hope you will forgive me for my poor hospitality."

It was Old Xu who reacted quickly. He quickly stood up, took Wang Yong's hand flatteringly, and welcomed him to the table.

Wang Yong took a seat.

Tiebi is an undead creature who cannot eat or drink. He stands silently behind Wang Yong like a bodyguard.

Under his gaze, the people at the table became restless. The food tasted like wax and the wine tasted like slop. They felt uncomfortable all over.

Wang Yong felt relaxed and chatted enthusiastically with Lao Xu and the other two.

During the conversation, Wang Yong also learned the identity of the Taoist in front of him. He had known the county lieutenant Liao Zhi before.

After three rounds of drinks, Wang Yong was full and put down his bowl and chopsticks, then his true intentions became clear:
"Old Xu, have you made up your mind about surrendering as I told you a few days ago?"

Wang Yong's eyes fell on Old Xu, waiting for his statement.

Last time, Old Xu said he would surrender to Master Lu, and this time he is flirting with Zhengyang Temple. This kind of fence-sitter makes Wang Yong feel sick.

The timing is good tonight as people from Zhengyang Temple are here, and Wang Yong wants to take this opportunity to let Old Xu make the final decision.

"This, this, Xuanyin Temple is quite good."

Old Xu looked at Taoist Dongyang who was standing beside him. Taoist Dongyang knew that it was time for him to express his opinion.

His master, Taoist Zhengyang, was coming to Dongping County to preach and develop the Dharma, and to win over independent practitioners from all sides.

Taoist Dongyang came here tonight not only to eat, drink and have fun, but also with a mission.

At this moment, if he showed fear in front of Wang Yong and the news got out, no one in Dongping County would dare to approach Zhengyang Temple.

Thinking about his master's mission, Taoist Dongyang at the table also became more assertive. He stopped Old Xu who was about to stand up and express his opinion, and said bluntly:
"Brother Wang, that's not what you're saying. Fellow Daoist Xu is also a very prestigious old cultivator in Dongping County. Isn't it too much for you at Xuanyin Temple to force him to take sides and express his stance?"

"We should fully respect Daoyou Xu's personal wishes and never force him to do anything!"

Taoist Dongyang came out to express his views, and the county lieutenant Liao Zhi who came with him also straightened his chest and said righteously:
"Fellow Daoist Dongyang is absolutely right. Dongping County is not ruled by Xuanyin Temple alone. My master is the magistrate of Dongping County. If you have any grievances, feel free to tell us. Under the laws of the imperial court, Xuanyin Temple can't threaten your life!"

As they spoke, they seemed to be standing at the highest point of morality and righteousness, looking down on Wang Yong and harshly criticizing his faults.

After hearing what the two said, Wang Yong felt extremely ashamed, as if he had committed some heinous crime, and he wished he could kill himself on the spot.

The chopsticks in my hand couldn't help but want to poke my eyes. "How dare you!"

At this moment, a cold big hand pressed on Wang Yong's shoulder, and at the same time, an icy voice struck deep into Wang Yong's mind, stimulating him and making him shudder.

Pull him back from his confused and dazed state of mind.

"You, you actually dared to attack me!"

Wang Yong came to his senses and was frightened. He quickly hid behind the iron wall and roared with a flushed face.

At this moment, Wang Yong felt deeply how weak he was. He was bewitched by the three people in front of him without noticing and almost died here.

"Hmph! You're a third-rate corpse-driving Taoist priest who has never entered the Dao. You don't even consider your own weight, yet you dare to threaten us cultivators. Killing you is no better than killing a stray dog!"

Taoist Dongyang snorted coldly, not feeling guilty at all for being the first to strike. Instead, he was quite annoyed that he had not been more ruthless just now.

Just kill this clown Wang Yong.

Now that he had failed once, Wang Yong was on guard, and the guards behind him were also alert, so it would be difficult to take action again.

Killing an ordinary person who has not entered the Tao, no matter how serious the sin is, will only result in a scolding from the master when you return.

Master Lu of Xuanyin Temple would never go to war with Zhengyang Temple for an ordinary person who has not entered the Tao.

Taoist Dongyang thought so confidently.

As for the guards behind Wang Yong, their aura was a bit strong, but as they were all in the Qi training stage, their combat abilities were roughly the same.

What determines the outcome of the battle is the magic skills of each party, the number of magic weapons in hand, and the number of manpower.

On the side of Taoist Dongyang, there were three people: County Lieutenant Liao Zhi and Old Xu, while on Wang Yong's side, there was only one guard in black.

3vs1
Obviously, the advantage is his.

So at this time, Taoist Dongyang was not afraid that Wang Yong would become desperate and fight with them on the spot.

However, Taoist Dongyang’s sudden attack scared Old Xu.

He just wanted Taoist Dongyang to say a few words for him and delay the situation, but he didn't want to let things get to this point.

Isn't this clearly an attempt to force Old Xu onto the Zhengyang Temple's carriage?!
This Taoist priest from Dongyang must have done it on purpose!

Old Xu was an experienced man, and he didn't know what Taoist Dongyang was thinking at this moment. His face suddenly turned ugly.

I was struggling with my conscience and making a difficult decision for my own destiny.

The county lieutenant and the Taoist priest from Dongyang stood together, sharing the same affiliation.

Behind Wang Yong stood the prestigious Xuanyin Temple, and in front of him was a powerful bodyguard whose depth was unknown.

At this moment, if Old Xu didn't make the right choice, he would probably become the first victim of the confrontation between the two sides.

At this moment, Old Xu suddenly thought of Ma Pozi who had completely disappeared from Hutou Mountain.

It seems that Ma Pozi had originally taken refuge in Zhengyang Temple and had close contacts with the Taoist priests there.

But once Xuanyin Temple took action, there was no news of Ma Pozi anymore.

Despite suffering such a great loss, Zhengyang Temple did not seem to have taken the initiative to say anything about Ma Pozi's death.

Why not take the initiative? I’m afraid Zhengyang Temple is really no match for Xuanyin Temple!

Old Xu felt that he had discovered the secrets of Zhengyang Temple, and then looked at Wang Yong who was hiding behind the iron wall.

There was only anger on his face, but no fear at all. This was probably because he had received a reward from Master Lu of Xuanyin Temple, so he was fearless and was sure to defeat them.

"Hiss, everything is actually under the control of Master Lu of Xuanyin Temple. If that's the case, then Master Lu is truly terrifying!"

Old Xu was sweating profusely, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and he vaguely felt that he had seized the opportunity to survive.

At that moment, he took a step towards Wang Yong's iron wall and said loudly:
"I live outside Dongping County, and I've long heard that Master Lu of Xuanyin Temple is incredibly powerful and benevolent, and that the temple is even more formidable in Dongping. Master Lu, if you don't mind my impending death, I'm willing to serve you faithfully and follow you until death!"

As soon as Old Xu said this, the hall fell silent for a moment, followed by Taoist Dongyang's red face due to anger and Wang Yong's hearty laughter.

"Old Xu, congratulations on making the right choice. Our Xuanyin Temple is in need of someone like you!"

Taoist Dongyang was surprised by Old Xu's surrender and was extremely angry. He snorted coldly:
"I want to see if you, Old Xu, have a chance of making it to Xuanyin Temple alive. Do you really think my Zhengyang Temple is made of mud?"

As he spoke, Taoist Dongyang took a deep breath, and his whole body swelled up as if inflated, his muscles became knotted, and his skin became red. The breath he emitted alone made the entire hall stuffy and hot.

"I'll let you see the true form of the Fiery Sun of my Zhengyang Temple. Take a blow from my Fiery Sun Star-Shattering Palm!"

Taoist Dongyang's hands were wrapped in red energy, his boots crushed the green bricks, and he leaped up.

Wherever the palm wind passed, scorching air waves tore through the air, and the crimson energy, carrying the power of the scorching sun and shattered stars, rushed straight to Old Xu's face.

An astonishing heat wave hit him in the face, and Old Xu felt his head was dizzy from the heat wave. He couldn't muster up any energy, and even when he wanted to mobilize his true energy to resist, he felt he had no strength.

What a strange palm technique, my life is over!
