That young disciple's face turned pale.
Daoist Bi's words were akin to a heavy hammer striking his heart.
Zhang Yu was able to debate with someone who was about to become the Xuan Zun and come to a draw. This was enough to prove how profound his cultivation was.
It was clear that Zhang Yu had used his absolute strength to suppress Daoist Ji, who had turned into a chaotic monster.
However, this answer was even harder for him to accept.
He couldn't help but feel dejected.
Daoist Bi no longer paid any attention to him. Instead, he looked at Tai Zhengping and said, "Fellow Daoist Tai, the matter has already come to an end. If you're still not satisfied, you can continue to look for Xuan Ting. However, when the time comes, remember to leave a copy for me as well."
Tai Zhengping quickly said, "Esteemed envoy, you're too serious. Your judgment is fair and I'm convinced. This matter will end here and I won't trouble you anymore."
Daoist Bi said indifferently, "Don't be so full of yourself. I've seen too many repetitive matters. One or two more won't make a difference."
He stood up and cupped his hands, "Everyone, since the matter here is over, I'll take my leave first."
Then, he said politely to Zhang Yu, "Zhang Xuanzheng, when you come to Yujing, I'll treat you to tea. Daoist Nie said that she received your greetings and asked me to send you a message."
Zhang Yu's heart skipped a beat. It seemed like this Daoist Bi was also acquainted with his Senior Sister. He stood up and returned the gesture, "Thank you for your message."
Daoist Bi chuckled, "It's a small matter." He bowed to everyone again and left with a flick of his sleeve.
Tai Zhengping stood up slowly and cupped his hands towards Zhang Yu, "Zhang Xuanzheng, we were rude this time. I'll pay you a visit another day to apologize."
Zhang Yu said, "You're too serious. Today's matter was a matter of reasoning. Anyone can voice their grievances. There's no need to apologize. I will leave this place after the New Year. If the two of you have any doubts in the future, you can go to the Western Vault of Heaven to look for me. "
At this moment, Tai Zhengping was already speechless. He solemnly bowed towards Zhang Yu, and then walked out with the young disciple with a wooden expression.
Often, when he was outside, he would sigh inwardly, "This Zhang Xuanzheng is not far from that step. Who knows when he'll become a Xuan Zun. Fortunately, he's open-minded and didn't argue with us. Fortunately, the outcome wasn't bad. Now that this matter has been cleared up, I can go back and answer to my sect."
Knowing that Daoist Ji had indeed been killed in the presence of chaos monsters, he was relieved of the burden in his heart, and much of his depression had also dissipated.
After walking out of the tea house, he said kindly to the young disciple, "You know the truth. Do you still remember what you promised your uncle? From today onwards, you should put this matter aside and focus on your cultivation. "
The young disciple, who had been silent all this time, suddenly asked, "Why?"
Tai Zhengping was surprised, "Why what?"
The young disciple gritted his teeth, "Since that Zhang Xuanzheng has such high cultivation, why didn't he stop teacher from transforming that day? He just stood there and watched teacher become a chaos monster? He clearly had the ability to stop it, didn't he? "
Tai Zhengping looked at him in shock, "What are you saying?"
The young disciple said agitatedly, "Did I say something wrong? I didn't say anything wrong! He's a Xuanxiu, and he's even from the Eastern Xuanfu. He definitely couldn't bear to see teacher guarding this place, so he intentionally sat there and watched everything happen … "
Tai Zhengping frowned and said sternly, "Looks like your cultivation of the mind isn't enough."
He chanted a spell, and the young disciple instantly felt his body become heavy, as if he was filled with lead. He couldn't mobilize his arcane energy at all. He was shocked and terrified, "Uncle, what are you doing?"
Tai Zhengping looked at him and said in a deep voice, "If you continue like this, you'll only harm yourself. You might even follow in your teacher's footsteps. After you return, you'd better go into seclusion to calm your mind. Only come out when you've gotten rid of your inner demons."
How could he not see that this nephew of his was paranoid? He firmly believed that what happened to his teacher was Zhang Yu's fault. It was useless to reason with him like this, he could only wait for him to calm down.
Zhang Yu was still sitting in the tea house. The empty teacups on the tea table had already been taken away, and he was the only one enjoying the tea.
These few days, the auspicious light had begun to drizzle again. The east side of the city was built near the eastern mountain. Although it wasn't as high as the inner city platform, one could still roughly see the scenery inside the city.
Looking at the row upon row of houses, the spacious Dan Harbor in the distance, and the lead-blue seawater even further away under the rain and fog, he couldn't help but feel an indescribable sense of loneliness.
He had been out for a few years, and this was a rare occasion for him to return to the eastern court. There were still some things that he had not done yet, so he planned to spend the new year here before returning to the outer layer.
After he sat there silently for a long time, the rain outside the pavilion had stopped at some point. There were only droplets of water dripping from the eaves that fell into the puddles below from time to time, and the crisp sounds of birds chirping could be heard in the forest.
He gently shook his sleeves, stood up, and left the tea house, returning to the white boat.
After sitting down in the main cabin, he closed his eyes and began to think.
After intercepting that valiant man's spiritual power and destroying a God Kingdom, he saw many things that only EsGod could see.
One of them was an ancient EsGod that was in a deep sleep. That was something from who knows how many years ago, or even from the previous era. However, it seemed that EsGod was afraid of something, so he deliberately erased the specific location.
He could only rely on the few broken images to deduce that EsGod had landed in an incomparably large underground cave. Moreover, it should still be on this continent. It was very likely that it was even deeper east of Mount An.
He wondered if the threat from the depths of Mount An and the thing that was about to awaken was this ancient EsGod.
He also suspected that this matter might be related to the Gods Recovery Guild. After all, the Gods Recovery Guild had found the head of an ancient deity on this continent.
He also decided that before leaving the eastern court, he would go there again to take a look.
On the other side, after the young disciple was restrained by Tai Zhengping, the latter locked him in a secret room that he could not escape from.
This place was isolated from all external disturbances, so he could only sit and cultivate. Then, all thoughts left him, and his heart gradually calmed down.
After an unknown period of time, he suddenly heard a familiar voice beside his ear. "Pang Li."
He was shocked and subconsciously said, "Master?"
However, he immediately felt that something was wrong. His master was clearly dead. Even if he did not die and transformed into a chaotic monster, he was not the same person.
He said, "Who are you? What do you want to do? "
That voice said, "I am your master."
Pang Li sneered and said, "Do you think I am stupid?"
That voice said, "I am your master, but I am not the person you think I am."
Pang Li frowned and said, "What do you mean?"
That voice said, "You were originally my disciple. However, after you died in an accident, only your soul was able to escape. I sent you into the body of a fetus and tried to guide you to become Fellow Daoist Ji's disciple. In fact, he also knew about it. I think you have heard your master vaguely mention this matter before."
Pang Li could not help but be bewildered. Daoist Ji had indeed said such things to him before, but he did not understand at the time. Now that he thought about it, he felt that it was true. He said, "What proof do you have?"
That voice said, "Look at the jade pendant you are carrying. That is at least what you have in this world. That is what I gave you. You have already secretly cultivated the divine ability on it."
Pang Li could not help but be shocked. Only he knew about the mysteries of this jade pendant. Even his master might not be clear about it. However, this person had pointed it out, so he immediately believed it.
He said, "What do you want to do by showing up now?"
That voice said, "Your master is dead. Naturally, I am here to guide your cultivation in his place. In fact, although your cultivation progress is relatively fast, there is a mental barrier. If you can't pass it, you will be consigned to eternal damnation.
Why did Fellow Daoist Ji come to the Eastern Court? It was because his mental barrier was difficult and he fell into obsession. He had no choice but to find a secluded place to meditate and at the same time find a way to free himself. "
Pang Li said at this moment, "But from what I see, Martial Uncle Tai doesn't seem to have such concerns."
That voice said, "Fellow Daoist Tai is different from your master. He has a peaceful temperament and does not have many pursuits. He was able to cultivate to his current level because of his natural talent. Any other cultivation technique would not hinder his cultivation, so he has no such worries."
Pang Li did not say anything.
That voice continued, "You don't have to doubt me. You were originally my disciple, and it was because of me that you died. Therefore, I believe that I need to guide you. I will explain everything clearly to you. However, you have already changed your life. Our friendship has long been severed. How you choose is still up to you. I won't force you. I just want to understand this fate."
At this moment, Pang Li suddenly said, "Honored Sir, can you help me take revenge for my master?"
That voice seemed to fall silent. After a while, it said, "I am not that Zhang Yu's opponent. Bi Guanshan did not boast that day. Before Yu Hang Xuan Zun succeeded, he was only able to fight to a draw with that person. Although I have a friendship with Fellow Daoist Ji, it is not to the extent that I would risk my life for him. If you want to take revenge, you can only rely on yourself."
When Pang Li heard this, he could not help but say, "Then what can Honored Sir teach me? Even Honored Sir is not that person's opponent. What can I do even if I learn these things? "
That voice said, "Therefore, I am not going to teach you ordinary techniques. Instead, I am going to teach you how to sense Hunzhang."
"Hunzhang?" The young disciple was shocked, "Just like Master?"
"In fact, your master's path is slightly different because he pondered it himself. However, the technique I am going to teach you is different. This is a technique that has been verified by several Hunzhang cultivators. If you cultivate this technique, it is not impossible for you to defeat that person."
Pang Li took a deep breath and said firmly, "Okay, I will learn it." After a pause, he said, "There is one more question. Since Honored Sir said that I was your disciple in my previous life, can you tell me which sect I was under in my previous life?"
That voice was silent for a moment before it said in a deep voice, "Then you must remember that you and I are both under the tutelage of Grandmaster Zhengqing Hong Zheng!"
