When the two jade rulers fell to the ground, they had already lost their luster. It was obvious that they were heavily injured. Du You's youthful face was slightly twisted. He reached out his hand and touched the black ink stone in his sleeve. He thought, "Even if I have to endure mother's scolding, I will kill this Zhang Yan here today!"
"You 'er, stop!" Just as he was about to make a move, he suddenly heard a loud shout. A middle-aged man wearing a blue robe and a Mixed Essence Crown walked in. He was still outside the hall when he took a step forward, but when he took a step forward, everyone's vision blurred. He was already next to Du You and grabbed his wrist, stopping his next move.
"So close, so close. This person is obviously an expert at the third level of the Mystic Light Realm. That's why he can control the mystic light and shrink the ground within a few miles." Lin Yuan was knowledgeable, and he could tell how powerful this middle-aged man was with one glance.
When Du You saw the person, he said in surprise, "Uncle Bo?"
The middle-aged man ignored Du You and turned to Zhang Yan. He said in a pleasant tone, "Zhang Yan, today's matter has nothing to do with you. It's not your fault. You can leave now."
Du You opened his mouth, but he was stopped by the middle-aged man's stern gaze. He had no choice but to endure it. He could only stare at Zhang Yan with eyes full of murderous intent.
Zhang Yan's expression became serious. This middle-aged man gave him an extremely strong pressure, and his aura was similar to Ning Chong Xuan's. They were obviously experts of the same realm.
However, Ning Chong Xuan's aura was fierce but not ostentatious. It wasn't targeted at others, but this middle-aged man had an aura that was like a raging wave crashing against the shore. In his eyes, the surrounding scenery and even the entire hall was shaking as if it was being swept by a monstrous wave. With such an expert standing beside him, I'm afraid that if it wasn't for that person who recognized the origin of this Spirit Tool, I might not have been able to walk out alive today. "
However, on the path of cultivation, there were times when one had to face things head-on. If one retreated at the first sign of danger, then one would find all sorts of excuses when faced with other difficulties in the future. It would be fine if it happened once or twice, but once one had a fixed mindset, the originally firm Dao Heart would become dispirited and would no longer be resilient.
As expected, the only way to improve one's cultivation was to work hard!
He secretly made up his mind. Today, I'm not as good as this person, but that doesn't mean I won't be able to in the future. With this person and Ning Chong Xuan as my goal, I must always remember the humiliation I suffered today and use it as a whip. One day, I must personally seek justice for this!
In the main hall, Du You wanted to teach Zhang Yan a lesson today, but he couldn't. He was too ashamed to show off in front of all the new disciples. After saying a few perfunctory words, he dismissed all the disciples.
Back at the residence of the eldest disciple in the back hall, Du You complained to the middle-aged man, "Uncle Bo? Why did you stop me today? "
"Uncle Bo" was called Du Bo. He was the bodyguard sent by Du You's father, whose identity was still unknown, to secretly protect him. Originally, this person didn't have this name, but in order to cover up his identity, he changed his name and claimed to be a disciple of the Du family.
Du Bo shook his head and said in a deep voice, "If I'm not mistaken, what Zhang Yan used just now was the 'Divine Shuttle'."
"Divine Shuttle?" Du You was stunned. He seemed to have heard of this name, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
Du Bo reminded him, "You can't remember the Divine Shuttle, but your nephew must have heard of the Twelve Sky Shuttles, right?"
Du You was shocked and cried out involuntarily, "Twelve Sky Shuttles, isn't that the magic weapon used by the sect leader when he was young?"
"Yes, the Divine Shuttle is an imitation of the Twelve Sky Shuttles. It was made by Elder Sun Zhiyan of the sect. Elder Sun is the ninth disciple of the sect leader, the backbone of the master and disciple line. This Zhang Yan can get one of the Divine Shuttles, so he must have a close relationship with the sect leader. And your identity is special, so it's not appropriate to kill him now."
Du Bo pointed out the pros and cons and pointed out Zhang Yan's possible background. It wasn't that he couldn't kill him, but he really couldn't.
Anyone who had a relationship with the sect leader of the Ying Cang Sect couldn't be considered by himself. Du You came from the aristocratic family and was raised as the future pillar of the family since he was young. He still understood this principle.
However, he was still young after all, a disciple who did not come from an aristocratic family. Right now, he could not suppress him, he could not control him, and he could not hit him either. It was really sullen. He could not help but hatefully say, "As long as I am the eldest disciple, Zhang Yan will not be able to take away any of the elixirs, Hua Chi, Daoist books or instruments bestowed by the upper house!"
Only by ruthlessly depriving Zhang Yan of the things that originally belonged to him could he vent a little of the anger in his heart.
However, Du Bo's face was full of disapproval and he scolded, "Nephew, don't forget, the position of the lower house's eldest disciple is only temporarily borrowed. It's only to be able to use the shellfish field properly and use the Shell King True Nectar to open a high-grade pulse no less than that of the sect leader's disciple. How can you wholeheartedly be attached to this position?"
Du You was reprimanded by Du Bo, but he didn't get angry. Instead, his eyes brightened. He couldn't help but stand up and hurriedly asked, "Uncle Bo, has the sect leader agreed to borrow the Shell King True Nectar to open the pulse?"
"I'm here today to tell you." Du Bo smiled slightly and gestured for Du You to sit down. Seeing that the latter barely calmed down and sat down, he then slowly told the whole story.
"Two months ago, my Ying Cang Sect took over the Fluorescent Cloud Shellfish Field. This time, we put in a lot of effort in fighting for the Du Clan. Many of our disciples died or were injured. Therefore, the sect leader agreed to lend you the Shell King of this shellfish field for a month to open the pulse. In order not to cause dissatisfaction among the other families, the sect spent a lot of effort. This matter had already been decided before you came up the mountain, but we were afraid that you wouldn't be able to control your temper, so we didn't tell you."
Du You couldn't help but be overjoyed. If it wasn't for Du Bo, he might have jumped up and shouted a few times.
Everyone knew that using the Shell King True Dew to open the meridians would result in a high-grade pulse. In addition, his meridian opening technique was also a secret technique of the sect. It was not difficult to condense a high-grade pulse, even the legendary high-grade pulse was possible.
Du Bo saw that he seemed to be a little carried away and reminded him, "Now, although the families have accepted our gifts on the surface, they are all secretly watching. Therefore, it is better to be quiet than to move. Since that Zhang Yan has colluded with the sect leader's faction, I advise you not to create unnecessary trouble, lest the families accidentally catch us and cause unexpected changes."
Du You nodded seriously and said, "Uncle Bo, I remember." He then snorted, "In this case, that Zhang Yan got lucky."
"Got lucky?" Du Bo chuckled and said, "Just now, Zhang Yan has already suffered some internal injuries under the pressure of my Xuan Light, which made him suffer."
"Oh? Why not directly … "Du You didn't understand. Since Du Bo could silently hurt Zhang Yan, he must be able to kill him secretly. Why not take the opportunity to make a move?
Du Bo shook his head and said, "If I wanted to take his life, the Ruyi Spirit Shuttle would definitely fly up to protect its owner. At that time, I would have to destroy this treasure to restrain it. However, this shuttle is connected to its owner's heart and blood. Once it is damaged, the owner of this treasure will definitely be alerted. It is not worth offending this person just for Zhang Yan."
Because of all these concerns, Du Bo allowed Zhang Yan to leave safely today.
"Moreover, if you want to deal with Zhang Yan, you don't have to be in a hurry." Du Bo said earnestly, "Cultivators like us are the foundation. Once you obtain the Shell King and condense a high-grade pulse, with my Du Clan as your backing, it will be easy for you to get back your face. Between a mere lower house disciple and a true disciple, don't tell me the upper house immortals can't tell which is more important? "
Du You nodded in agreement.
He was a young man and his thoughts were always straightforward. If someone insulted his face, he also wanted to take revenge and didn't like to beat around the bush. However, since Du Bo said it like this, he could only listen no matter how unwilling he was.
Du Bo seemed to see through his thoughts and smiled, "Nephew, you seem to be worried. Fine, I will teach you a method. You don't need to make a move and you can still peel off the skin of Zhang Yan's face, making him unable to stand on the mountain."
Du You's eyes lit up and he jumped up, "What method? Uncle Bo, please teach me! "
"The cave residence on the Star Gazing Peak is the property of the lower house. As the eldest disciple, you have the responsibility to arrange a place for the disciples to cultivate. I heard that Zhang Yan is living alone on the Star Gazing Peak. You can order Zhang Yan to retract the Star Gazing Peak and say that there are other arrangements. Then order Zhang Yan to move to the Moon Grasping Peak. However, the lower house disciples are different from him. If he goes there shamelessly, he will definitely be ostracized by them. However, I see that Zhang Yan is arrogant and would rather break than bend. If you take away his residence, he will definitely not have the face to stay on the mountain. In this way, you can easily drive him off the mountain. You can also pretend that you don't see the heart, and it won't be too late to find trouble with him in the future."
As an inner disciple, it was reasonable for Zhang Yan to move to the Moon Grasping Peak. No one could find fault with it. On the contrary, the disciples who didn't know the truth would praise Senior Brother Du for being considerate to his Junior Brother. If Zhang Yan stayed on the Star Gazing Peak and didn't leave, it would give the people an excuse to deal with him.
But if he was driven out of his original residence, would he still have the face to stay on the mountain? And without the cave residence, could he still cultivate in peace?
Du Bo's plan could be said to be a drastic measure.
"Good idea, good idea. Uncle Bo, please wait a moment, I will immediately order the people to do it." Du You thought of this method, the better it was. He excitedly ran out to arrange it.
