Hou Ji had been waiting in Luoyan Mountain for three days, but the old Mountain Master did not seem to show up. Hou Ji did not know what the old Mountain Master was thinking about.
If it wasn't for the fact that the blockhead wasn't good at being perfunctory, and that his sincerity made Hou Ji feel that it was true, Hou Ji would have left long ago.
Since there was still a chance to turn things around, Hou Ji wouldn't easily give up this opportunity. Even if he had to wait a little longer, it wouldn't hurt.
However, the longer he waited, the more uncomfortable Hou Ji felt. He could wait, but Xiao Yang and the others would not slow down. Once they entered the Gathering Fire Alliance's territory and rushed back, it would really be too late.
Luoyan Mountain's attitude was doubtful again.
Hou Ji kept pacing back and forth. At the same time, he was very anxious. If the old Mountain Master still did not show up, he could not care so much and could only return to the Gathering Fire Alliance first.
Suddenly, Hou Ji saw the tall man walking over. He was overjoyed and hurried over to ask, "Brother Kuang, did the old Mountain Master give an answer?"
However, as soon as Hou Ji asked, he saw that the blockhead's expression was a little ugly. He immediately knew that things were not going well. He felt that this matter was heading in a pessimistic direction.
His original hope seemed to have been extinguished at this time and turned into endless despair.
The blockhead had always been a person who showed his emotions on his face. If he was happy, it meant that there was still room for discussion. Once he put on a sullen face, things would probably change.
In the beginning, the blockhead said that the Luoyan Mountain understood the principle of interdependence and would not stand by and do nothing.
Now, he looked dejected. Could it be that something big had happened in the past two to three days that caused the Luoyan Mountain's attitude to suddenly change?
Hou Ji was also extremely anxious in his heart. The change in the situation was too sudden, and he felt that he was caught off guard.
"The Mountain Master invited Brother Hou Ji over for a talk," the blockhead said softly.
Hou Ji nodded and said, "Brother Kuang, what happened?"
The blockhead did not want to continue talking. Instead, he walked in front and led the way. His expression seemed to have become much gloomier.
The more this was the case, the more confused the Peak Master from the Gathering Fire Alliance was. He even felt guilty.
Now, Hou Ji's heart was like a roller coaster, rising and falling, and it was extremely uncomfortable.
The blockhead continued to lead the way without saying a word. His attitude was very strange. In fact, even the atmosphere seemed to have changed.
Although Hou Ji did not know what had happened and whether there was a new turning point in this matter, Hou Ji felt that as long as he could meet the Mountain Master, he would try his best to persuade him. Even if he had to pay a higher price, he had to persuade him.
Under the blockhead's lead, Hou Ji came to a pavilion.
Ping Chensheng sat in the pavilion and poured tea.
When Hou Ji saw the old Mountain Lord for the first time, he couldn't help but be shocked, and his eyes were filled with doubt.
What Hou Ji saw was a very ordinary old man, as if the old man had one foot in the grave.
Ping Chensheng's face was pale, and his aura was extremely weak. He did not have the demeanor of a Stage Six powerhouse. Instead, he looked like he had just fought a great battle and was severely injured.
Hou Ji stood there hesitantly, and his heart was filled with doubts. How could this be?
If Ping Chensheng had really fought with someone, they should have noticed it. Moreover, in the Luoyan Mountain, who could fight with the old Mountain Master?
"I've embarrassed myself in front of you, Peak Master Hou," Ping Chensheng said as he gestured for Hou Ji to sit.
Hou Ji sat down stiffly and asked, "Old Mountain Master, what happened to you?"
At this juncture, the old Mountain Master's aura was weak, and his vitality was greatly injured. It was really worrying to see him like this.
"After I found out that the three villains destroyed the Mo Family, I went into seclusion. I wanted to break through to Stage Seven in one go so that I would have the absolute strength to kill them. Who would have thought that I would suffer from Qi Deviation because of my impatience and failed to break through? "Ping Chensheng smiled bitterly and shook his head.
This time, Hou Ji could no longer remain calm.
The injuries caused by failing to break through due to Qi Deviation could not be underestimated. Moreover, it was fortunate that he did not drop in cultivation level or leave any side effects.
Of course, it was also possible that the old Mountain Master had hidden it well.
Hou Ji sighed in his heart. The world was really making fools of people.
"This old man is really old." Ping Chensheng sighed for no reason.
Hou Ji quickly shook his head and said, "Mountain Master, you're old but strong. It's too early to say this. It's just a moment of bad luck. It's not a big deal. "
Although Hou Ji said this in his heart, he had a new plan in his heart.
Now that Ping Chensheng was in such a state, it was naturally impossible to ask him to go to the Gathering Fire Alliance.
Moreover, in his current state, even if he went, how much strength could he contribute?
Given Ping Chensheng's current state, once he left the Luoyan Mountain, he might not even be comparable to Hou Ji.
After exchanging pleasantries for a long time, Hou Ji bid farewell and left.
Ping Chensheng did not stop him. He only pretended to be stupid and did not agree or reject Hou Ji's request to let Blockhead and the other Stage Five powerhouses go to the Gathering Fire Alliance.
If time allowed, Hou Ji would naturally coax and pester Ping Chensheng to bring the group of helpers back.
However, now that Xiao Yang and the others were getting closer to the Gathering Fire Alliance, he naturally had to go back as soon as possible.
After Hou Ji left, Blockhead was a little angry and said, "Mountain Master, why did you do this?"
In the beginning, Blockhead felt sorry for the Mountain Master when he heard this. However, when he saw that the Mountain Master did not move forward or retreat, he felt that there was a problem.
No matter how stupid Blockhead was, he could connect the dots. The Mountain Master was in seclusion?
Therefore, the so-called seclusion to break through to the next level and qi deviation was complete nonsense.
If that was the case, the Mountain Master would not go to the Gathering Fire Alliance. However, the Stage Five powerhouses should go and help.
"Blockhead, from today onwards, you'll go into seclusion. There are some things that I can't tell you clearly. "Ping Chensheng shook his head helplessly.
The blockhead, on the other hand, let out a muffled groan. He was clearly displeased. He obviously could not accept the Mountain Master's way of doing things.
"Some things are not as simple as they seem on the surface. Speaking of which, we share honor and disgrace. It's still the old saying that the other party did not think of us when he saw the benefits. Now that we're in danger, he came with a big gift? "Ping Chensheng said coldly.
