PS: Uncle, where are you now?
…
A few days later, the eighteen Yuanying cultivators of Changshuo and Lou Xiaoyi left through the void.
Perfected Cultivator Kong Gu's claim of being good at fighting was somewhat exaggerated. Changshuo's territory was limited, two of the three Perfected Cultivators were still outside, and the rest of the Yuanying cultivators were basically all here. There was nothing much to choose from.
Those foreign cultivators stopped on a small planet less than three days away from Changshuo. They did not try to conceal themselves and were very quiet!
This made it difficult for people to judge their intentions. They did not rob, invade, harass … and they did not leave!
When Changshuo's group arrived near the small planet, the eleven cultivators on the opposite side lined up in the air. Obviously, they were not afraid.
The leader of Changshuo's group was Perfected Cao, a very experienced Perfected Cultivator. Perhaps because he was too old, he had lost his sharpness in the past. Perhaps Perfected Cultivator Kong Gu had noticed this?
"I am Cao Zhen from Changshuo's Perfected Cultivator Temple. I came here to ask you the reason for staying in Changshuo. How can you allow others to sleep beside your bed? If you still refuse to answer, Changshuo may be a country of etiquette, but it also has many ruthless methods! "
Lou Xiaoyi was disheartened by these words. With such a start, there was basically no hope for a good result! They could either continue to remain silent or lie to deceive. They had been living in peace for too long and had forgotten the real rules of the cultivation world.
One of the cultivators on the opposite side was neither servile nor overbearing. "We are here to stay temporarily! We have no ill intentions. Since more than ten years ago, have you hurt anyone in Changshuo? Have you ever robbed anything from your territory? Occasionally, we enter your territory just for the sake of words and banquets. We have never affected the order of your territory!
The cultivation world has its own rules. How far do you want us to go? Cultivators walk the path of cultivation. The universe is vast and the territory is yours. We respect it, but you can't have the territory around your territory, right? "
Daoist Kong Gu had already reminded Cao Zhen that he wouldn't be able to gain the upper hand with words, so he should hurry up and drive the other party away. Now, with just a few words of courtesy, he felt like he was being led astray again. It really wasn't as refreshing as what that cultivator Zhou Xian had said, to directly attack the other party. If he were to attack now, he would feel embarrassed and angry instead.
"If we don't get along, it's pointless to say another word! Since you and I have different ideologies, then let's follow the old rules of the cultivation world! Only the strong are respected! "
With a wave of his hand, he was about to mobilize the cultivators of Chang Shuo to fight, but the Daoist on the other side shouted loudly to stop him.
"Since Changshuo is to drive people away, killing is the most important thing. Once a chaotic battle ensues, death and injury are inevitable! At that time, there will be no room for negotiation between you and me!
Why don't we do it this way? You have 18 people, and we have 11 people. How about we compete in a duel? How many rounds? Victory or defeat will be decided by the rules of Changshuo! "
When Daoist Master Cao heard this, he was a little hesitant. Before he came, Martial Uncle Kong Gu had told him to try his best not to cause any deaths! If his own people died, he would feel bad, but if the other party died, it might lead to revenge. The best way was to fight in moderation. Not only did he show his tough attitude, but he also didn't lose his magnanimity. This wasn't easy.
Once it started, it would be uncontrollable. This was inevitable! Therefore, he was hesitant. After discussing with a few other Daoist Masters, they all felt that a duel was a good idea under the current circumstances. Not only could they compare who was better, it would also be easier for them to control their strength and advance and retreat freely.
Finally, Daoist Master Cao decided, "Let's compete in seven rounds. Whoever can win four rounds will be the boss!"
The Daoist in front of him cupped his fists and smiled, "Winning four out of seven is the magnanimity of your region! But we have come from afar to harass you, and we feel uneasy. Since we are outsiders, we should have the self-awareness of outsiders!
How about this, in the seven rounds, we will leave on our own if we lose two rounds. We will not stay in Changshuo. This way, we can show that we have no ill intentions! "
These words made Lou Xiaoyi, who was beside him, shake his head vigorously! He was an old ruffian and had his own unique understanding of battles. He knew that before the battle even started, the layout had already begun. In this aspect, the cultivators of Changshuo were very naive.
They had been here for more than ten years, so they definitely had some understanding of the abilities of the people of Changshuo. That was why they dared to say such big words! On the other hand, increasing the difficulty of the duel was undoubtedly forcing the people of Changshuo to have no room to retreat. If they really lost, they would be embarrassed to bully others with their advantage in numbers. It was a very clever strategy. Imperceptibly, they once again showed their selfless attitude.
Was that really the case?
Daoist Master Cao agreed immediately. The reason why he chose seven rounds was that among the cultivators on his side, there were a few Daoist Masters who were purely there to make up the numbers. They weren't strong enough to fight!
Everyone arranged their rounds. Of course, Lou Xiaoyi wasn't included in Changshuo's side. He was now purely an observer, so there was no problem with his strength or reputation.
After the arrangements were made, everyone began to fight! Round after round, the faces of the people of Changshuo became gloomier and gloomier! They felt more and more ashamed!
The final result was just as Lou Xiaoyi expected. All seven rounds were lost, and the one who lost was Changshuo! They lost their temper! They lost so much that even struggling seemed unnecessary!
The Daoist Master on the other side didn't have a trace of arrogance or conceit. He still spoke softly, "We have been in the universe for a long time and are used to drifting. We fight with the heavens, void beasts, and humans. Hence, we specialize in the Dao of Spells. It's not like the orthodox Daoist sects of your region that cultivate one's body and mind.
This battle is just a joke. Your region didn't use all of its strength. You even have a Daoist Master who didn't come out. This is your tolerance for us drifters. For more than ten years, your region has always been broad-minded. We all know that.
I still say the same thing. We are gathered here not to do anything to Changshuo. It's just that the reason is a little hard to say. It's because of respect that we can't lie and deceive you. We can only keep silent!
Fellow Daoist, please return to the mountain and tell the elders clearly. If there's a day when we can speak freely, we won't hide anything from them! "
They gave enough face, lowered their stance, and were strong themselves. With all these factors, what other choice did the people of Changshuo have other than covering their faces and leaving?
They had the advantage of being the host, the number of people, and the familiarity of the environment. They had a good hand, but they played it badly!
Lou Xiaoyi followed them back without revealing anything. He was covered in dirt, but he didn't care. He finally realized that there was no such thing as a good idea in this world. The best was the one that suited the style of different cultivators. His style was only suitable for himself. Even the people of the Five Rings Qing Sky Sect might not be suitable for the people of Zhou Xian, not to mention the people of Changshuo who were a mess!
If he had known this would happen, he would have suggested to let the people of Changshuo come here to send warmth and make friends … With resources, with his wife as his wife, the results might be better!
But then again, only cultivators with the style and attitude of Changshuo could be the best place to set up a relay point in the universe, right? If it had been someone with a little bit of ambition, they would have long been surrounded by endless moths and endless troubles!
Each had its own pros and cons. It was hard to say whether it was good or bad! But there was one point. If something happened to the coordinates, it would be a little unreliable to rely on the people of Changshuo. This was the biggest impression Lou Xiaoyi had from the battle!
