PS: Part 3
What happened was as fast as lightning. Within a breath's time, Elder Hu was heavily injured by Zhang Yan. It was too late for anyone to stop him.
Elder Yu was shocked. Luckily, he reacted fast enough and caught Elder Hu with a ray of light so that he wouldn't fall to his death.
Even so, Elder Hu was in a pitiful state. His body was pierced by 15 sword energies and he was covered in blood. Even if he was still breathing, there was no way for him to recover. He could only be sent to be reincarnated.
Madam Chen was still calm. After a few glances, she knew that this person couldn't be saved. She yelled at the servant girl beside her, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and bring me a Spiritual Pill."
Today's Huan River Banquet was a competition of skills. Therefore, many spiritual pills and medicines were prepared. The servant girl didn't dare to delay. She rushed to Elder Hu's side and took out a jade bottle. Just as she was about to hand it over, Elder Yu pushed it away and said with a cold expression, "I don't dare to use something from your Qincang School."
The maidservant was a descendant of the Chen Clan and had high standards. Even though she had to obey Madame Chen's wishes, she was not afraid of the elders of other sects. She snorted and said, "Spiritual Master Yu, the two of them were having a fair fight just now. Why are you getting angry at a servant? This is Zhenren Yu's order, not mine. The pill is here. It's up to you whether you want to use it or not. "
With that, she threw the porcelain bottle on the ground and turned around to leave.
Elder Yu was stunned. He didn't expect a servant girl to have such a bad temper. He was speechless after being talked back to. His face turned red and he wanted to explode but he was afraid of losing his status. He turned around and said hatefully, "Zhenren Zhang, it was just a friendly fight. Why did you have to be so heavy-handed?"
Zhang Yan smiled and said, "Elder Yu, you can ask Elder Hua. I believe he knows the reason."
Elder Yu harrumphed. He glared at Elder Hua and didn't say anything else. He took out a pill and tried to make Elder Hu swallow it.
This pill could sustain a single breath of vitality. It could protect the primordial spirit from dispersing and the body from being damaged for three days. However, it was impossible for him to return to the sect. He could only find a place nearby and escort him to reincarnate. Whether or not he could cultivate in his next life would depend on his own luck.
Elder Hua's face alternated between red and white. He had already come back to his senses. Just now, when Zhang Yan slashed at him with his sword, it was actually just a test. It was impossible for him to really kill him. If he had not panicked at that time, he would have been able to defend without moving. Elder Hu would not be defeated so easily by Zhang Yan.
This Junior Brother of his was indirectly killed by him.
However, it was too late to regret now. He also had nowhere to vent his anger. He turned around to look at his disciple and scolded, "You idiot, I clearly told you to guard well. Why are you so useless at this critical moment? What do I need you for?"
Wu Hancheng also felt wronged. What happened just now was like a flash of lightning. Taking a step back, even if he could make a move in time, how could he block Spiritual Master Yuanying's thunderous strike? Wasn't he just seeking his own death?
Zhang Yan's sword Just Now could be said to be a stroke of genius. Originally, with Elder Hu's cultivation, he would not be so weak if he fought him head on. Even his protective treasure light would not be so easily broken. However, when the dharma spirit came and went, it caused a huge difference in Elder Hu's strength before and after. This caused Elder Hu to fall behind greatly, which was why he was easily taken down by Zhang Yan.
It could be seen that. When cultivators fought, it was not just about the magical treasures and supernatural powers of both sides. It was more about the grasp of opportunities. No matter how good one's cultivation technique was, without the tempering of cruel life and death battles, the slightest carelessness would result in death.
Huo Xuan's gaze was cold. He stood there silently.
His knowledge and insight were not something an ordinary person could compare to. How could he not see that Elder Hu and Elder Hua had done something secretly Just Now? If it was not for Zhang Yan discovering something fishy and intervening, they would probably have to go through a tough fight.
Both sides had already agreed not to rely on external forces. However, Elder Hu had broken the rule in front of him. Even if he was killed on the spot, it could not be blamed on Qincang School.
However, Zhang Yan had indeed used too much force. He could see that with Zhang Yan's cultivation of a flying sword that could move at will, he could have stopped in time. Although it was not wrong, if Pingdu Sect did not let it go, it would be very troublesome.
Based on his understanding of Zhang Yan, he could vaguely feel that this junior brother of his was not doing this just for a moment of pleasure. He thought to himself, "Junior Brother Zhang, what exactly are you planning?"
The thousands of Qincang School disciples who were watching the battle were even more disappointed. They were looking forward to a good fight, but the outcome was decided in the blink of an eye. Elder Hu's defeat was even more inexplicable. It was as if he had taken the initiative to go up and die. It was extremely boring to watch, and they even looked down on Pingdu Sect.
Chen Qiaoling's lips trembled as she looked at Elder Hu, who was lying on the ground. This person, whom she had pinned all her hopes on, had been killed by Zhang Yan. He could not resist at all. How did she find such a useless person?
If it was not for the fact that she had to wait for the time to withdraw the Yang Talisman, she would not want to stay here any longer.
After Elder Yu helped Elder Hu take the pill, he stood up and said to Zhang Yan coldly, "Zhenren Zhang, no matter what, my Pingdu Sect's elder was injured by your hands. You must give us an explanation for this!"
Huo Xuan was displeased. "Elder Yu, why do you have to do this? It is inevitable that there will be injuries in a fight. This is not a fight based on personal feelings. Don't hurt the harmony between our sects."
Elder Yu was agitated and said angrily, "Zhenren Huo, it is easy for you to say that. One of my sect's elders has died. Are you going to let it go just like that?"
Huo Xuan glanced at him and asked coldly, "What do you plan to do, Elder Yu?"
Elder Yu hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice, "I am willing to fight another round with Zhenren Zhang. Regardless of life or death, if I lose, I will have no more complaints. "
Huo Xuan shook his head. This Elder Yu did not leave the sect often. Just Now, he would say such ridiculous words.
Luo Qingyu smiled and took the initiative to step forward, saying, "Elder Yu, Junior Brother Zhang has already fought a battle just now, why don't I accompany him?"
Elder Yu looked at Luo Qingyu and could not help but take a step back. The latter had been famous for a long time and Elder Yu had seen his techniques and supernatural powers. He knew that he had no chance of winning.
Although he shouted loudly earlier, he did not have much confidence in the face of the disciples of Qincang School. He knew that he would not be able to gain any advantage here. He scoffed and stomped his feet. "This is not the end of this. I will ask the Zhenren Sect Leader to come forward and reason with all of you!"
He did not call out to Elder Hua. He carried Elder Hu's body and flew away in the blink of an eye.
Madam Chen saw that things were about to get out of hand. She walked up to Huo Xuan and said softly, "Master, do you need me to …"
Huo Xuan waved his hand and interrupted her. "There is no need for that. Everyone has their own opinions. How can he turn the tables with just a few words?"
He looked at Zhang Yan and sighed. "Junior Brother Zhang, come with me. I have something to say to you."
He leaped up and flew into the sky.
Zhang Yan pondered for a while and smiled. He rode on a gust of strong wind and followed after Huo Xuan.
At this moment, in the basilica, Zhong Mu looked calm and was drinking alone. He had already returned to this place when Elder Hu was defeated and everything was in chaos. Not long after, footsteps were heard and a beautiful female disciple rushed to his side.
Zhong Mu put down his wine cup. His eyes were clear and he asked, "How was it?"
The female disciple was a little hesitant. She lowered her head and said, "Uncle-Master, Feng 'er has disappointed you. Although the apprentices of Xuanshui Palace are very nice to Feng' er, they are very tight-lipped when it comes to matters of the palace. I could not find out anything."
Zhong Mu Qing pondered for a while and suddenly smiled. "I know. You did well. I can already tell that Junior Brother Zhang's Dragon Carp is not the one in Senior Brother Qi's palace."
The female disciple raised her head in confusion. "How did Uncle-Master know?"
Zhong Mu Qing said casually, "Since the Dragon Carp was lent to Junior Brother Zhang openly, why can't he say it? He's being secretive because he doesn't know the situation and doesn't know how to say it, so he can only say it vaguely. "
The female disciple opened her eyes wide and thought about it carefully. It was indeed so. Zhong Mu Qing was able to see through the clues from just a few clues. She could not help but admire him.
Zhong Mu Qing smiled at her and took out a jade scroll. He passed it to her and said, "Junior Niece, you can go first. I will call you if there is anything."
The female disciple looked at the jade scroll happily and bowed. Then, she rode on a ray of light and left the basilica.
After he found out that the Dragon Carp wasn't given to him by Qi Yuntian, Zhong Muqing's mood unconsciously lightened up greatly, and at the same time, he praised in his heart. Junior Brother Zhang, you've utilized the power of others extremely well, and you've almost deceived me as well. But even if your scheme succeeds, you'll only be able to win a momentary opportunity, and you won't be able to change the overall situation.
He stood up but did not use any escape technique. He just casually walked out of the hall. Seeing that Elder Hua still did not leave, his eyes flashed and he walked to his side. He cupped his hands and said, "Elder Hua, greetings."
Elder Hua also wanted to leave, but he still had something to ask of Qincang School, so he could not just leave like this. Seeing that it was Zhong Mu Qing, he sighed and smiled bitterly. "Fellow Daoist Zhong, why are you still looking for me?"
Zhong Mu Qing smiled and said, "Elder Hua, could it be that you don't want me to help you with your disciple's matter?"
Elder Hua was stunned. He thought that this matter would definitely not work out. He did not expect there to be a turn of events. However, he immediately put on a vigilant expression and asked, "Fellow Daoist Zhong, what are your conditions?"
Zhong Mu Qing walked over and whispered a few words in his ear.
Elder Hua hesitated and said, "This is a disgraceful move …"
Zhong Mu Qing smiled and said, "Elder Hua, why are you being so unreasonable? Even if I didn't mention this, would your Pingdu Sect just let it go?"
Elder Hua chuckled and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhong, I hope you won't go back on your words."
Zhong Muqing looked at the bright moon in the sky and sighed. He thought to himself, "Junior Brother Zhang, even if your strength is extraordinary and you're indeed qualified to participate in the Duelling Spell Gathering, some things aren't so simple. You've made the wrong move this time. If you could endure it and make trouble during the Grand Competition next year, I'm afraid I would have a headache for a period of time. But now, you no longer have the chance."
