In the past, a disciple like Ji Fengxing would not even have the chance to enter the inner sect.
Things were different now. With an elite by his side, Tian Buji would not be so stubborn as to fuss over such unimportant matters. This was a grave matter. If he was not careful, the Thousand Willow Monastery might be implicated.
In front of the Thousand Willow Monastery's Fair Hall.
Hundreds of inner disciples were training on the plaza.
"Elder Tian!"
"Elder Tian!"
The disciples greeted him.
Tian Buji nodded slightly and walked forward with his hands on his back.
Many inner disciples were shocked when they saw Ji Fengxing walking in with Tian Buji.
Why was the outer disciple, Ji Fengxing, here in the Fair Hall?
Despite their doubts, nobody dared to stop Tian Buji since he was the one leading the way.
Ji Fengxing felt slightly embarrassed when he sensed the peculiar gazes from the others. He quickened his pace.
Wuwu was stopped when she fell behind.
"Wuwu, who's that?" one of the inner disciples asked.
Wuwu pointed at Yu Shangrong's back and said, "Big brother? He's an elite swordsman. "
"He's the outsider who's in conflict with the Flying Star House?"
"What outsider?" Wuwu mumbled in confusion.
"Wuwu, why are you so dumb? The Flying Star House is only making things difficult for the Thousand Willow Monastery because of him. I heard that Daoist Master Xuan Ming came here and left in a fit of anger! "
"Serves him right."
Wuwu ignored them and quickened her pace to catch up.
The inner disciples shook their heads.
"We'll have to inform the other elders about this."
…
The Fair Hall faced the southeast. It was grand and solemn.
Even the inner disciples were not allowed to go near it.
It was quiet and sunny. This was the best location for the Thousand Willow Monastery.
The atmosphere was solemn as they entered the hall.
A white-haired old man sat cross-legged in the hall with a horsetail whisk resting on his arm. There were only two steps, but he seemed to be looking down from above.
"You're here?" The old man spoke without opening his eyes.
"Monastery Master, the guests are here."
After saying this, Tian Buji retreated to the side respectfully.
The monastery master, Xia Changqiu, opened his eyes and looked at the duo.
On the left, Yu Zhenghai stood with his hands on his back. He stood with his back straight as if he was invincible. On the right, Yu Shangrong stood with his arms crossed. He stood with his back straight with a faint smile on his face. The two of them had one thing in common — a kind of pride that seeped into their bones.
The hall was very quiet.
After a long while, the Abbey Dean, Xia Changqiu, spoke first, "What is your purpose for coming here from afar?"
Yu Shangrong replied,
"Senior Brother and I will be staying here for a few days. Please forgive us if we disturb you."
"An honored guest is asking for a place to stay. It is only right for us to entertain him."
"Thank you." Yu Shangrong nodded slightly.
"Why did you kill Taoist Priest Xuan Ming?"
The monastery master, Xia Changqiu, stared at Yu Shangrong.
Yu Shangrong sensed the change in Xia Changqiu's attitude. He asked, "Are you afraid?"
If the Thousand Willow Monastery was not afraid of the Flying Star House, Xia Changqiu would not have said such words that seemed like he was trying to shirk his responsibility.
Ji Fengxing and Wuwu were startled. They hastily ran into the room. They did not expect Yu Shangrong to be bold enough to talk back to the monastery master.
"Please forgive me, Monastery Master. My big brother is new here, and he doesn't know the rules of the Thousand Willow Monastery. Please forgive him!" Ji Fengxing's hands were on the ground as he trembled.
Wuwu followed suit, but she did not prostrate herself. Instead, she looked at the Abbey Dean and said, "Big Brother is a good man!"
Xia Changqiu ignored them.
He was still looking at Yu Shangrong.
After a long time, he sighed deeply, "How young …"
His brows drooped, and his face looked a little tired. Then, he said earnestly, "Young people do have the right to be arrogant, but there are many things that are not so simple."
Yu Zhenghai asked curiously,
"How is it complicated?"
Xia Changqiu did not answer his question. Instead, he asked, "Are you from the Ninth Temple?"
There is no early rise without profit, and there is no wind without an empty hole.
There is nothing in this world without a reason.
Yu Zhenghai stepped forward and met Xia Changqiu's gaze. "It doesn't matter where we're from … You're the monastery master of the Thousand Willow Monastery. You should know that the enemy of my enemy is my friend."
As soon as Xia Changqiu finished speaking, he kicked his legs.
She moved as light as a feather as she struck Yu Zhenghai with her palm.
"Abbey Dean!"
"Big Brother!"
Yu Zhenghai pushed away from the ground lightly with his hands on his back as he flew backward.
Xia Changqiu pushed his right palm forward as the two pillars on either side swept forward.
In the blink of an eye, he flew out of the Fair Hall.
He flew out of the square.
Yu Zhenghai's body was as light as a swallow as he landed on the huge cauldron in the center of the square.
Xia Changqiu spread his fingers.
"Kindness is like water."
His fingers glowed red as they transformed into the Five Elements.
The inner disciples and elders quickly gathered and looked at the sky.
Yu Zhenghai pushed his palm forward as well. Primal Qi surged.
Bam!
Their palms collided!
Yu Zhenghai did not create a palm seal. He met the attack head-on. A vertical airflow shot out and struck the cauldron.
The others were shocked.
"It's the monastery master!"
"Who's so bold as to challenge the monastery master?!"
The elders rushed forward and saw a burly man on the cauldron. He had one hand behind his back while he pushed his right palm forward. His posture was superior to the monastery master!
Who was this man?
Xia Changqiu was shocked. He looked up and asked, "Why aren't you using a palm seal?"
Yu Zhenghai said calmly.
"There's no need for that."
"Young man, you're still too inexperienced." Xia Changqiu clenched his fist.
'Hm?'
Bam!
The power in his palm increased and burst forth.
Yu Zhenghai raised his leg and kicked. Clang!
The cauldron spun and blocked the palm strike.
Bam!
A palm seal was left on the cauldron.
Xia Changqiu moved swiftly.
He waved his horsetail whisk with his left hand.
A red airflow shot out like a gale.
Upon seeing this, Yu Shangrong smiled faintly.
"If you can't do it, I'll do it."
Yu Zhenghai shouted, "Who said you can't? Watch closely … "
Yu Zhenghai pushed his palm forward again.
Xia Changqiu's body erupted with red energy as he tried to send Yu Zhenghai flying.
Alas, Yu Zhenghai's palm strike was powerful. He forcefully suppressed the red energy and sent it flying.
Xia Changqiu struck again.
Boom!
The two palms collided and reeled back at the same time.
Yu Zhenghai landed on the ground and took five steps back. His arm was numb.
Xia Changqiu landed and took three steps back. His arm was numb as well.
After the battle ended, the intertwining energy dissipated.
Xia Changqiu frowned as he looked at Yu Zhenghai. 'Since when did the Ninth Temple have such an elite?'
The disciples and elders who were running from all directions saw the situation.
"How dare you behave atrociously in the Thousand Willow Monastery! Take him down! "
Zing!
Zing!
The disciples drew their swords.
The elders were filled with righteous indignation.
At this moment, Xia Changqiu raised his hand. "Stand down."
His deep voice stunned the disciples. They sheathed their swords resentfully.
At this moment, Yu Shangrong walked between the two of them. He glanced at Yu Zhenghai and said, "Eldest Senior Brother, you took two steps back."
Yu Zhenghai's face flushed red as he said, "No, no! I didn't use my full strength. Again! "
At this moment, Xia Changqiu took half a step back guiltily.
'What a ferocious man!'
In truth, Yu Zhenghai did not use his full strength. He did not use his energy nor did he use his weapon.
However, he had underestimated the monastery master, Xia Changqiu.
"I'll do it …" Yu Shangrong turned around and faced Xia Changqiu. He pushed his right hand forward and said with a faint smile, "Please."
Xia Changqiu shook his head slightly and said, "I only attacked earlier to find out who your masters are. I bear no ill will. There's no need to fight anymore. "
