The Ballad of Youth: Inheriting Daoji, Li Hanyi, the Escapee from Marriage

"I just wanted to say that it's about time, so you guys should stop practicing and pack up to rest."

"Tomorrow... there's still one last leg of the journey ahead that I need you all to walk with me!"

Wu Xin smiled slightly and said softly.

"Phew, I thought it was something serious. Don't worry, we'll definitely stick with you to the end!"

Lei Wujie visibly breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Wuxin's words. After practicing martial arts for so long, he was already feeling sleepy.

He yawned, waved his hand, and then got ready to go to bed.

Seeing that the wine was gone and the meat was almost finished, the others, including Li Xiuyuan, followed Lei Wujie's lead and began to rest.

Only Wuxin, clutching the string of beads Li Xiuyuan had given him earlier, which he said was left by the old monk, had a suppressed look in his eyes.

…………

The next day, early in the morning.

On the only road to Tianwaitian, which is also the border of the Northern Kingdom, not far from the destination, several fine horses were galloping wildly, raising a cloud of dust!

They were Tang Lian, Wu Chan, and the sect leader Da Jue, who was already in the Kowloon Gate and eager to eliminate the "evil spirit" as soon as possible, along with his fellow disciples.

"Giddy up! Giddy up! Giddy up!"

"Hurry, faster! Although for some reason that the demon has plenty of time to escape, it is still staying here."

"But judging from that demon's thoughts, either he has some unspeakable secret, or he's provoking us!"

"We must get there as soon as possible, set up the formation, and finally completely destroy that evil spirit!"

The Great Awakening Sect Leader's heart was already filled with murderous intent. In the original story, after he became possessed by a demon, he didn't even care about the lives of his junior brothers. Although he was only in a state of intense hatred now, the horse he was riding was not human, so he naturally wouldn't cherish it. Therefore, even though the horse's eyes already revealed deep fatigue, he continued to whip it. As a result, his progress was already far ahead of Tang Lian and Wu Chan behind him.

"Alas, although I have known Junior Brother Wuxin since I was very young, I actually spend more time with Sect Leader Dajue."

"But now, I don't know what made me react when I heard the other party's face contort so horribly as to say that Junior Brother Wuxin was a demon."

"But I felt a pang of unease in my heart. Junior Brother Wuxin... is he really a demon?"

"If he were truly a demon, how could Master not see it? And with his cultivation, how could he possibly aid a demon?"

Because they weren't blinded by hatred like the Great Awakening Sect Leader, when they sensed the colt was almost unable to withstand it, the net...

At Tang Lian's suggestion, the two of them stopped behind and let the foal rest while chatting about trivial matters.

"Actually, I find it quite strange too. Kowloon Gate is, after all, a place for practicing Zen Buddhist principles and adhering to various precepts."

"Logically speaking, if it were really just about bringing Wuxin here to have his cultivation destroyed, why would the Great Awakening Sect Leader have such a strong killing intent?"

"To put it bluntly, I always feel that compared to Wuxin, who he constantly talks about as a demon, he himself seems more like someone who has fallen into demonic possession!"

At this moment, Tang Lian had received the instruction from her master, Baili Dongjun, to "act according to her heart," just as in the original story.

The only slight difference is that Sikong Qianluo, who appeared early in the original work, has not yet made an appearance.

"Becoming a demon... Yes, Master Dajue has studied Zen Buddhist principles since childhood and can be considered a major figure in the Zen school."

"But now he exudes a murderous aura. Could it be that his cultivation has gone wrong and he has suffered a qi deviation?"

"If that's really the case, then we need to hurry and save Junior Brother Wuxin. He might be planning to kill him!"

As if awakened by Tang Lian, Wu Chan watched as his horse rested for a while, then mounted it and chased after the Great Awakening Sect Leader.

Tang Lian herself stayed where she was and began to think.

"If Master Wangyou watched Wuxin grow up from childhood, and that's why he felt pity for him, there's nothing more to say about that."

"But what about Master Daoji? He may seem a bit crazy, but in reality, he is excellent in both skill and reason!"

"With him by my side, there's no way that Lei Wujie and Xiao Se could be kidnapped."

"If that's the case, doesn't it mean that all three of them agree with Wuxin and believe that the other party is not some kind of evil spirit?"

"Act according to your heart... Master, it seems Tang Lian knows what to do!"

Thinking of this, Tang Lian also mounted her horse and chased after them towards their destination!

…………

"Wow, what a grand display! That uncle sitting at the head of the table, he must be the Great Awakening Master of the Nine Dragons Sect, right?"

"Even putting him aside, these underlings of his all seem to have very high martial arts skills!"

About an hour later, Wuxin Li Xiuyuan and his group arrived at the border.

Among them, Lei Wujie, that little blockhead, immediately and inexplicably turned their rather heavy atmosphere into a relaxed one.

Hearing what he said, Xiao Se's face was full of speechlessness.

He rubbed his forehead, lowered his head to avoid looking at Lei Wujie's face, and slowly complained.

"What little brothers? Those are all elders of the Nine Dragons Sect, each of them is at least a Vajra Mortal Realm expert."

"Then look at their positions and the connection of their internal forces; this is clearly an extremely powerful formation!"

"If you consider them underlings, why don't you go up and try to break the formation yourself?"

Xiao Se didn't really want Lei Wujie to rush up like that.

After all, Lei Wujie's achievement of reaching the Vajra Mortal Realm at such a young age is truly remarkable, and he can indeed be considered a genius.

In addition, Li Xiuyuan had previously helped him clean up the hidden injuries he had sustained from his cultivation since childhood.

So much time has passed, he has long since advanced to the late stage of the Vajra Mortal Realm. With the Fire Scorching Technique at the peak of the third level, he can even defeat someone at the peak of the Vajra Mortal Realm!

But can you beat one, or a whole group?

The people who set up this formation were all at least at the mid-stage of the Vajra Mortal Realm, and the Great Awakening Zen Master, who was at the core of the formation, was even a peak-stage Free and Easy Realm cultivator.

What can you do up there besides get beaten up?

So it's obvious that Xiao Se's words were actually the opposite of what he meant, but he underestimated Lei Wujie's stubbornness. The other party didn't even realize his sarcasm, and instead grinned and charged in!

Ah~ Why would Xiao Se, the encyclopedia of martial arts and a man of great wisdom, be friends with such a blockhead?

Seeing that Lei Wujie had already rushed forward, Xiao Se was too late to stop him. He could only turn his gaze to Wuxin, who was standing to the side. Only after seeing Wuxin nod to indicate that he was alright did he feel relieved.

"Hurry up and hurry up, monk, I'm still waiting to buy wine after this is over. Don't forget Boss Xiao's promise of all-you-can-eat wine and meat."

At this moment, Li Xiuyuan's voice came over. Seeing that he wasn't afraid of getting dirty at all and sat down on the spot, Xiao Se's face darkened again.

He simply didn't want to pay any attention to this crazy monk anymore. Let him cause trouble. It would be best if he couldn't stand it anymore and quickly took action to resolve the situation!

It's one thing to just slack off all day, but to have so many demands?

Xiao Se didn't even turn his head, but looked at Lei Wujie. It was at this moment that the Great Awakening Sect Leader, who had been keeping his eyes closed, whether to show off or because the formation had some special requirements, spoke.

"Who goes there!"

Dajue's deep voice slowly came out, and we arrived at the part that Lei Wujie loved most: introducing himself!

"I am Xiao Wuji, the deputy master of Snowfall Manor!"

Upon hearing Lei Wujie's words, even Li Xiuyuan, who had read the original novel, was speechless.

Not only does a three-character name encompass four people, but it's also useless... Wuji?

Why don't you change your surname to Zhang?

When the Nine Yang Divine Skill is combined with Qianlong's Great Shift, even this Formation won't be unbreakable.

"What a witty remark!"

"Huh? What chicken? What sharpness? Never mind, let's see if I, Lei Wujie, can break through your True Form Formation first!"

"I really don't understand you guys. So many of you are stopping someone who just wants to go home. Do you guys have any sense of chivalry?"

"Fire Scorching Technique, Third Level: Garuda Realm! Activate!"

Lei Wujie shouted, and a Garuda image tens of meters tall immediately appeared behind him!

Look at the raging fire! The scorching flames made the air crackle and pop!

However, it was precisely because of his stubborn personality and the self-introduction he just gave that Xiao Se and Wu Xin were too embarrassed to look at him!

The person mentioned earlier was the deputy master of Snowfall Manor, and that was a pseudonym. How did he end up revealing his real name as he talked?

Also, why did you shout out the moves?

The art of scorching fire originated from the Thunder Sect, and you also claim your surname is Lei... You've perfectly embodied the phrase "admitting guilt without being asked"!

…………

Chapter 52 Lei Wujie is seriously injured. It would take three kilograms of blood to save him.

"So you're from the Rai-mon sect, fine... Whoever you are, I will never allow you to protect evil!"

"Charge!"

The Great Awakening Master still did not open his eyes. While others practiced closed-mouth meditation, he was playing with closed-eye meditation.

However, Lei Wujie no longer cared whether he closed his eyes or not, because under that shout of "Activate the formation", the aura of the Nine Dragons Gate elders, who were originally just standing in different positions and whose internal forces were connected, completely changed and erupted!

They surrounded Lei Wujie, their figures blurring into afterimages, making them almost impossible to catch with the naked eye!

However, Lei Wujie was not afraid. Relying on the enormous size of the Dharma Image behind him, he broke through in one direction without saying a word!

boom!!

He unleashed a powerful punch, and the Dharma image behind him followed suit, its massive fist crackling with flames as it slammed out!

A tremendous roar erupted, and a huge cloud of dust swept up, obscuring his vision, as if something earth-shattering had happened!

But in fact, Lei Wujie did not show any joy on his face when he saw this.

Although he's usually quite reserved, his observation skills and reflexes are relatively sharp during combat.

He changed his fist into a palm and swung it out suddenly.

The smoke and dust dissipated, revealing a transparent aura that was visible to the naked eye!

Yes, although his punch just now, because of the large size of the Dharma Aspect Fist, seemed to hit a flying figure, in reality, all his attacks were easily blocked by this energy shield!

"This is the Original Formation, the Nine Dragons Sect's most powerful divine technique! One person is equivalent to seven people, and seven people are equivalent to one person!"

"If we include the array's core, which is the Great Awakening Sect Leader himself, even an ordinary Free and Unfettered Heaven Realm cultivator wouldn't be able to escape."
