Gou Zai Xianwu Chaos World, Physical Sainthood

Chapter 102 The Visitor is Not Friendly

After crossing the bridge and standing on flat ground, Ge Long seemed to come alive again.

The two started walking.

Lu Cheng then told Ge Long about what had happened in the past few days.

Just now, when Ge Long heard "Sword Washing Peak" in the prison of Wenxin Peak, he guessed what it meant.

However, he always thought that it was Cui Yuan who had taken Lu Cheng in.

But to everyone's surprise, the one who took on the disciple was actually Han Lingxiao, the master of one of the peaks.

That's the Qi Refining Realm!

After a moment of silence, Ge Long grinned and said, "Congratulations, Junior Brother Lu, no, Uncle Lu."

,

Lu Cheng waved his hand: "Senior Brother Ge is being too formal. Regardless of sect affiliation or seniority, we can continue to address each other as fellow disciples."

""

Ge Long shook his head: "Rules can't be abolished, and it's still inappropriate to call each other 'fellow disciples'."

"How about this, if you don't mind, we can change our address to brothers?"

'

Lu Cheng laughed and said, "Why not?"

As he spoke, he proactively cupped his hands towards Ge Long, saying, "Brother Ge."

Ge Long laughed heartily: "From now on, I'll have to rely on Brother Lu. Let's see which blind bastard dares to use his status to intimidate me!"

Seeing Ge Long in this state, Lu Cheng was secretly pleased: "Excellent, excellent! From now on, regardless of anything else, at least among the disciples, there will be no one like him—"

He stopped abruptly halfway through his sentence, shook his head, and said, "Hey, if it's a peak master or elder like Wan Sheng making things difficult for me, I'm not afraid. But if it's a second or third generation disciple deliberately targeting me, I might not be able to exercise any special privileges."

Ge Long asked in bewilderment, "Why is that?"

'

Lu Cheng then revealed that Xing Du had deliberately assigned him a task, but Han Lingxiao had not intervened. Upon hearing this, Ge Long immediately cursed, "That bastard, a bloodsucker, a disgrace to the sect! In my opinion, the Dongyang Sect's thousand-year prestige will surely be ruined by these shameless second-generation disciples!"

After angrily cursing for a while, seeing that Lu Cheng didn't quite understand, she explained again: "According to the rules, newly promoted Body Refinement Realm disciples should focus on stabilizing their realm. They should either serve as stewards or guard some halls and pavilions."

"Who would arrange for someone to be sent out to serve? This is clearly a targeted attack!"

'

"Brother Lu, do you know what Xing Du's identity is?"

Lu Cheng said, "That day on Washing Sword Peak, I heard him introduce himself as the disciple of Elder Yun Tingzi, one of the three elders of Washing Sword Peak."

"Besides that, although he didn't say it, judging from his ability to arrange matters in the Mission Hall, he should be the leader of the younger generation of Xijian Peak."

Ge Long first nodded, then shook his head: "Not only that, that's true in terms of identity, but Brother Lu didn't mention bloodline."

""

"Bloodline?" Lu Cheng suddenly realized, "Could it be the same as Wan Chuan's?"

Ge Long nodded: "The ancestor Jingxuzi's secular surname was Xing, and the two elders of Xijian Peak, Yunwuzi and Yunshengzi, also have the surname Xing."

""

Lu Cheng couldn't help but gasp.

But upon closer reflection, it makes sense.

Even he himself would inevitably leave behind a large family in the future.

The two fell silent for a moment.

After a while, Ge Long asked, "Are you asking me to go out with you? I'm fine here, when do we leave?"

Lu Cheng said, "The original plan was for ten days, but today is the eighth day."

“Then I’ll take a couple of days to rest,” Ge Long said. “By the way, if we’re short-handed, we might as well bring You Fuxing from Wenxin Peak, the thin young man from earlier.”

Lu Cheng had a strong impression of the young man from earlier, and as soon as Ge Long mentioned it, he immediately remembered him: "Him? I don't think his aura was that of a Body Refinement Realm cultivator."

Ge Long nodded: "I'm still a little short of body refinement, but I feel this person is quite good."

,

"During the two weeks I was confined at Wenxin Peak, he was not as harsh as the others, never made things difficult for me regarding food and water, and was the only one who was willing to talk to me."

÷

"Speaking of which, his talent is actually quite good. He was taken in as a disciple by Elder Dong of Wenxin Peak when he was not very old."

As Ge Long spoke, a hint of shared misfortune crept into his voice: "Unfortunately, Elder Dong had an accident a few years ago, and he lost his backer."

"The disciples of Wenxin Peak were already quite jealous of him, and after that, they gave him the cold shoulder a lot, making him do all the dirty, tiring, and unpleasant tasks."

"He doesn't talk much, but he's a very honest person."

""

"The chances of finding anyone on this mission to wipe out the remaining rebels are slim. To put it bluntly, it's just a way to send you out and make you run around for nothing."

"After we leave, leave the work of searching and investigating to me and You Fuxing. You can focus on your cultivation."

""

"When it comes to finding people or conducting research, one's cultivation level is not the key factor."

,

Ge Long's words coincided with Lu Cheng's original plan, so he immediately smiled and nodded: "Okay, I have no problem with that. If he wants to go, then we can go together. It's just that he might stay outside for a long time this time."

Early on the tenth day, at the foot of Juyun Peak.

Lu Cheng and the other two walked out of the sect.

As we approached the imposing mountain gate archways, we saw several young men carrying knives and swords chatting idly beneath them.

One of them was none other than Wan Chuan!

Lu Cheng and Ge Long were both surprised to run into Wan Chuan, and both frowned.

But You Fuxing stopped in his tracks.

"What's wrong?" Ge Long asked.

You Fuxing glanced at the group of people under the archway and said in a low voice, "Among those people, two are Ye Liuyun and Qin Yan. I need to go and say hello to them."

He said this and quickly walked over.

Lu Cheng had only been a disciple for a short time and did not know who the two people You Fuxing was referring to were.

Judging from You Fuxing's appearance, he is probably a second-generation disciple of Wenxin Peak, just like himself.

As expected, You Fuxing walked over and bowed to the group.

The focus of the ceremony was on a nonchalant man and a serious-looking man.

Ge Long explained to Lu Cheng in a low voice, "Ye Liuyun and Qin Yan are both disciples of the peak master of Wenxin Peak."

"Within the sect, apart from Juyun Peak which does not accept disciples, the other eight peaks all have several true disciples."

Lu Cheng nodded; he had already met all the members of Xijian Peak.

Just as he was about to ask why Juyun Peak didn't accept disciples, he saw You Fuxing walk back quickly with a strange look on his face.

The key point is that the people over there are also looking this way.

Before Lu Cheng could speak, You Fuxing said, "Uncle-Master Lu, those uncles and senior brothers over there went on a mission with us. They want you to come over and discuss something."

task?

Lu Cheng felt a sense of doubt.

These people are all core disciples, why would they be doing this kind of task for no reason?

Did I misunderstand Xing Du?

Ge Long shook his head slightly and said in a low voice, "In my opinion, these people are probably up to no good."

,

Lu Cheng said, "It's alright, let's see what they have to say first. Surely they won't use some fabricated pretext to lock us up in Wenxin Peak again."

After saying that, he walked towards the group.

Ge Long sighed from behind and said, "I'm afraid they'll deliberately trip us up."

""

As they walked, You Fuxing quickly introduced them: "The one who looks the oldest and has the most serious expression is Uncle Qin Yan from Wenxin Peak, and the one next to him who is not so old is Uncle Ye Liuyun."

,

"The woman beside the two is Huang Chulei, a senior disciple of Baopu Peak. Baopu Peak is full of reclusive senior disciples, and I don't know who her master is."

""

Lu Cheng scanned the group of people as he walked.

Qin Yan sat solemnly, a stark contrast to Ye Liuyun beside him, making it hard to believe that the two were actually close fellow disciples.

The only woman, however, looked extremely awkward.

This person was quite upright in both his clothing and appearance.

At first glance, however, it gives off a sense of debauchery.

"The last person in the group is Senior Brother Wanchuan, you should be familiar with Uncle Lu."

""

"The last one is Uncle Feng Shu from Zixia Peak."

Upon hearing this, Lu Cheng asked in a low voice, "Feng Shu? What is his relationship with Wei Lang?"

Although You Fuxing didn't know why Lu Cheng asked that, he quickly explained, "The two of them don't have the same master, so I don't know what their relationship is like."

,

As Lu Cheng and his two companions approached, the people below the archway also began to move.

Qin Yan was the first to stand up and said to Lu Cheng, "Junior Brother Lu, we've been waiting for you for a long time. Time is of the essence, so I'll get straight to arranging the tasks."

As he spoke, he took out a roll of paper and said, "According to the sect's investigation and statistics, a total of thirty-seven merchant caravans were injured by that band of bandits. Among them, seven were from Liangcheng County, six from Kaiyang County, and six from Pingqu County—"

,.

"We have divided it into five parts, and we will entrust the nine caravans of Pingqu and Jianyang counties to Junior Brother Lu to explore them, shall we?"

'

"The main thing is to understand what kind of goods they are transporting, their value, and the specific people in the caravan, so that—"

"Wait a minute." Lu Cheng interrupted Qin Yan before he could finish speaking, frowning. "Senior Brother Qin, although Pingqu and Jianyang are adjacent to Dongyang County, they are both seven or eight hundred miles away from the sect."

"Adding the need to search for those caravans everywhere, it would probably take at least three months to complete."

In just three months, Lu Cheng was able to break through to the late stage of Body Refinement.

Qin Yan put down the scroll, looked at Lu Cheng, and said impatiently, "The sect mission is a matter of the sect's reputation. As a disciple of the Dongyang Sect, what if it takes three months or even three years?"

'

Wan Chuan also snorted and said, "After all, he's an outsider. I don't think his heart belongs to the sect at all."

,

As they were talking, Lu Cheng's expression suddenly changed, and he looked up at the sky above Guiyuan Peak.

Suddenly, a streak of light, dark blue with a bluish tinge and more than ten feet wide, appeared on the horizon.

Trailing a long streak of light, it stretched across the sky and disappeared into Guiyuan Peak in the blink of an eye.

"What is that?"

'

"What?"

The others turned their heads in the direction of Lu Cheng's gaze, but there was no trace left in the sky.

Qin Yan's face was grim, and he said with a long face, "Junior Brother Lu, this is how the mission is arranged. Whether you want to do it or not, just give me an answer. Why bother with this kind of trick?"

'

Ye Liuyun, who was usually nonchalant, also sat up, twirling the folding fan between his fingers as he looked at Lu Cheng with amusement.

Feng Shu glanced at Lu Cheng with disdain in his eyes.

Only Huang Chulei, who looked somewhat awkward at the end, remained completely unresponsive, seemingly not caring at all what was happening.

Lu Cheng ignored Qin Yan and continued to stare at the sky above Guiyuan Peak.

At the center of that streak of light was a sword.

Flying sword?

What kind of sword could emit such a huge light?

Lu Cheng looked through all the martial arts techniques in the Martial Arts Pavilion, but he did not find any of them related to "sword control" or "flying sword".

But Lu Cheng was absolutely certain that he was not seeing things.
