In an instant.
As the mysterious person, Liu Xiaojiang, appeared, rustling sounds could be heard from the surrounding forest. A large number of Tang Sect disciples dressed in black walked out and surrounded the five people, including Liu Xiaojiang, in the center of the field.
But …
When Tu Junfang, Lu Liang, Xia Liuqing, and Mei Jinfeng saw that the masked Liu Xiaojiang had also arrived, even though they were surrounded by the Tang Sect disciples, there was not a trace of panic on their faces.
"Sect Leader Tang, you've gone too far. We didn't kill the Tang Sect disciples. What you did just now … You really want to 'keep' them here, right?"
Liu Xiaojiang walked to the side of Tu Junfang and the others, and casually threw the two unconscious Tang Sect disciples at Tang Miaoxing's feet.
"Ha …"
Although Tu Junfang didn't know what Liu Xiaojiang had been doing before, he wasn't too surprised to see him appear in time. Instead, he shrugged helplessly and smiled.
"Sect Leader, it seems like you were right. We really did underestimate Zhang Chulan …"
"Yeah, this time Zhang Chulan really screwed us over." Looking at the Tang Sect disciples in black, Lu Liang, who was not good at fighting, couldn't help but feel nervous.
Liu Xiaojiang had been looking at the Tang Sect Leader Tang Miaoxing from beginning to end. When he heard Lu Liang's words, he only replied casually.
"Our goals are different, that's all …"
After he finished speaking, he looked at Xia Liuqing and Mei Jinfeng, who had been hit by Tang Miaoxing's hidden weapons. Although he didn't say anything, he slowly frowned.
The two elders were poisoned …
If he didn't want them to die from the poison, he could only choose to leave them in the Tang Sect.
But fortunately, the ones who were poisoned were Xia Liuqing and Mei Jinfeng, especially Mei Jinfeng, who was easy to talk to in Zhang Chulan's eyes. Leaving her and Xia Liuqing in the Tang Sect … was just right!
As for the rest … it would depend on Tang Miaoxing's attitude!
On the other side.
Tang Miaoxing had been studying Liu Xiaojiang with a frown the entire time. When he heard Tu Junfang say the words' Sect Leader ', his hands behind his back subconsciously clenched into fists.
Sect Leader …
Tu Junfang actually addressed this person as' Sect Master '. Not only that, but even a senior figure like Xia Liuqing didn't react strangely to this title …
Tang Miaoxing recalled the rumors he had heard before and couldn't help but remind the surrounding Tang Sect disciples.
"All members of the Tang Sect, listen up. When facing the corpse demon, Tu Junfang's first priority is not to win, but to avoid coming into contact with the corpse poison in his body. As for the other three, just work together and be careful …"
At this point, he looked back at Liu Xiaojiang, who was standing in front of Tu Junfang, and narrowed his eyes.
"As for that masked guy … leave him to me!"
As soon as he said this,
The surrounding Tang Sect disciples immediately turned their gazes to Liu Xiaojiang and Tu Junfang. They didn't even seem nervous as they began to whisper to each other.
"Corpse Demon? He clearly looks like a middle-aged man whose body has been hollowed out … "
"Yeah, how ruthless can this middle-aged man be? Teacher Liu … do you know this person? "
"I don't know, but since the old principal is treating this with such importance, you'd better not treat it as child's play!"
"Then … that person called 'Sect Leader' by the corpse demon, could he be the leader of this group of demons?"
"That should be the case, but that's not something you should be thinking about. The All-Encompassing Boss is definitely not a simple person. You kids better listen to the old principal and don't be arrogant enough to make a move on him. This person is definitely not someone you kids can deal with."
"Look at what you're saying. Do you think we're going to throw our lives away …"
Hearing this,
Liu Xiaojiang looked around at the Tang Sect disciples who didn't seem nervous at all. Instead, he somewhat understood why the old fellows of the Tang Sect were so anxious. He shook his head.
"Sect Leader Tang, we're just here to confirm some small matters. There won't be any major problems with Senior Qiushan's body. Why don't we discuss this … and you'll just let us go?"
"That's right, that's right …" Tu Junfang scratched the back of his head and echoed,
"Grandpa Tang, we've never met before. You're speaking as if you know me very well. Actually, my little tricks aren't as scary as the rumors say. Personally, I don't want to cause trouble for you, so … why don't you listen to our Sect Leader's kind advice?"
"How can that do?" Tang Miaoxing stood upright with his hands behind his back and said with a smile,
"This is a rare opportunity. Let me, this old man, see your methods with my own eyes?"
"Besides …"
Tang Miaoxing turned his head to look at Liu Xiaojiang, who was standing there like air and looked more like an assassin than him. Suddenly, a thought that even he didn't want to believe popped up in his mind.
"Calling Qiushan Senior …"
"If that's the case, then whether it's Rootless Life back then or Gong Qing who died on Mount Longhu, who can become an all-rounded Sect Leader now … who wouldn't be curious?"
As soon as he finished speaking,
"Sigh …" Tu Junfang sighed helplessly. Strange wisps of black smoke began to appear in front of his head. In the end, his aura expanded and formed the Three Corpses in front of him.
"Sect Leader, be careful. Old Mister is using the Illusion Barrier again!"
"Hmm …" A red light flashed in Liu Xiaojiang's eyes. He immediately saw Tang Miaoxing's actions after using the Illusion Barrier.
"Old Tu, don't be too ruthless. If you and Lu Liang can find an opportunity, don't bother about anything else …"
"Heh, I understand …" Tu Junfang ignored Tang Miaoxing. He turned around and faced the Tang Sect disciples who were rubbing their palms together. He used one of the Three Corpses in front of him to easily block the long-range attacks from the Tang Sect disciples.
At the same time …
The Tang Sect disciples who had some thoughts and didn't dare to attack Tu Junfang rashly also used their own methods on Lu Liang, Xia Liuqing, and Mei Jinfeng.
In the next instant …
Bang!!!
Liu Xiaojiang raised his hand to block Tang Miaoxing's palm that was aimed at his throat, but he didn't attack the old man who had appeared. Instead, he turned around to face him calmly and said,
"Old Tu is very sensitive to people's emotions, which is why he was able to sense your anger. Then, he sensed your position after you used the Illusion Barrier. In this regard … I am indeed inferior to him."
"But …"
Under Tang Miaoxing's frowning gaze, Liu Xiaojiang pointed at his shining red eyes and said,
"Even if I can't sense your emotions, the Illusion Barrier won't be able to hide from my 'observation' …"
"I see …" Tang Miaoxing looked at Liu Xiaojiang's eyes. Even though he didn't see the extremely faint red light, he still believed his seemingly arrogant words.
"Looks like you're different from Gong Qing …"
But before he could finish speaking …
Dong Dong Dong Dong Dong …
Tang Miaoxing's right hand suddenly disappeared, followed by a series of extremely dense sounds. Upon closer inspection, one would find that the old man's arm had not completely disappeared. Instead, it was constantly waving in front of him at an extremely terrifying speed, even turning into an afterimage that was difficult to capture!
However …
"Old Sir, have you had enough?"
Liu Xiaojiang allowed the wind pressure formed by the other party's high-speed hand knife to bombard his body like a machine gun. Not only did he not take a step back, he even interrupted the other party without doing anything.
"If that's the case, then the Tang Sect, this so-called prestigious sect, is a little too boring …"
Seeing this …
Tang Miaoxing finally began to panic.
Although the wind pressure formed by this kind of high-speed hand knife was not a powerful method, he had never seen anyone who could stand there and let him do whatever he wanted. In the end, he could still stand there as if nothing had happened. From the beginning to the end, he had not taken a step back under his attack.
An old cultivator at Tang Miaoxing's age, even if he could not reach the realm of Celestial Master, who was as immovable as a mountain, the strength of his spirit was definitely not something that ordinary Qi Cultivators could compare to.
If Liu Xiaojiang had used some means or completely avoided the attack that he had used, then Liu Xiaojiang would have been able to completely avoid the attack that he had launched.
The old man might not even feel the slightest bit of panic in his heart.
But he couldn't even be bothered to dodge. He just stood there and took the full brunt of the attack without a scratch …
Thus, Sect Master Tang was beginning to doubt his own life after seeing that his own methods had been rendered completely useless.
As for the other methods he knew …
Tang Miaoxing looked at Xia Liuqing and Liu Xiaojiang, who seemed to be struggling because of the poison in the distance.
This organization was very special. It wasn't quite right to say that they were all lawless demons. After all, humans were humans and there would always be demons who weren't that pure. No matter if it was their way of doing things or their ideals … they wouldn't be rats crossing the street.
For example …
The masked All-Purpose Sect Leader in front of him.
When Tang Miaoxing saw that Liu Xiaojiang had shown mercy to the Tang Sect disciples and personally instructed Tu Junfang and the others just now, he began to hesitate.
Now, whether it was the so-called acting Sect Leader or the real All-Purpose Sect Leader, this masked guy would definitely have a say in the All-Purpose Sect.
The All-Purpose Sect members came to the Tang Sect to cause trouble and even attacked Tang Qiu Shan. Although it was a very hateful thing, with the way everyone treated the All-Purpose Sect members, it was completely 'reasonable' for him to be ruthless to this group of people.
However, Tang Qiu Shan was fine, and the All-Purpose Sect Leader had taken the initiative to instruct them not to kill the Tang Sect. In addition, this person's strength was indeed strange and extraordinary …
Tang Miaoxing felt that if he really used those 'relentless' methods, even if he still might not be able to really hurt the other party in the end, the conclusion that he took the first step was set.
Should he offend the All-Purpose Sect Leader and even the entire organization because of offending the All-Purpose Sect … This was a difficult problem!
After all …
Although everyone's attitude towards the All-Purpose Sect was the same, and they did not intend to act according to the rules, if the Tang Sect really dealt with this matter in this way and ended up offending the powerful All-Purpose Sect Leader, would the other sects come to help?
Would they act according to the situation at the beginning, and when facing the powerful and unknown All-Purpose Sect Leader … Would they stand together against a common enemy?
Obviously, the answer was uncertain.
As the Sect Leader of the Tang Sect, Tang Miaoxing naturally did not think that the Sect Leaders and Sect Leaders of other sects would ignore the overall safety of their sects and turn around to help an outsider deal with a problem that might destroy them.
Humans are selfish after all …
"What on earth do you want to do?" Tang Miaoxing did not accept Liu Xiaojiang's provocation. Instead, he put his hands behind his back again and asked with a guarded and doubtful expression,
"What happened in Lui Village should also be your doing …"
"Nothing." Seeing Tang Miaoxing like this, Liu Xiaojiang could not help but have a trace of doubt in his eyes, but he did not really show it.
"I'm not interested in the Tang Sect, but as the current Acting Sect Leader of the All-Purpose Sect, I naturally have to give a reasonable response to the requests of the members of the sect …"
"If you really want to find a reason, then … Pill Devouring!"
Tang Miaoxing was not surprised that Liu Xiaojiang knew about the Pill Devouring, but he was still shocked by what he said. "You …"
"Old Sir, don't misunderstand." Liu Xiaojiang shook his head and said,
"I don't want to get the Pill Devouring. I just want to experience the legendary Pill Devouring. I just want to see … whether it is as evil as the rumors say."
"As for the other matters, including contacting Zhang Chulan and the others …"
Liu Xiaojiang looked at the two Quan Elders who were struggling to deal with the Tang Sect disciples in the distance and said, "It's their own problem. I'm only responsible for providing them with some reasonable help."
"Good." Tang Miaoxing still expressed his trust in this. "You want to experience the Tang Sect's Pill Devouring. This may be explained from the perspective of a Qi Cultivator, and it can be considered reasonable …"
"However, you helped them offend the Tang Sect, and even targeted my family. Is this … reasonable?"
"It's not reasonable." Liu Xiaojiang did not have any intention of denying this, so he said,
"So, I told them not to harm the Tang Sect disciples. If the Tang Sect Leader wants to punish them for this and let them suffer a little … I can."
"But if they offended the Tang Sect and did not harm the Tang Sect people, but they still died on the Tang Sect's side in the end, then the Tang Sect's actions … are too much."
"You mean …" Tang Miaoxing was almost full of doubts. "You don't have any enmity against the Tang Sect, and you only came here because of someone else's request. But you don't intend to completely fall out with the Tang Sect because of this, so you can accept the Tang Sect's reasonable handling of this matter?"
"Yes." Liu Xiaojiang nodded and said.
"What exactly are you thinking?" Tang Miaoxing obviously could not understand Liu Xiaojiang's thoughts.
"Not plucking a single hair, not taking a single bit, people nowadays can't do that." Liu Xiaojiang said calmly.
"So, what I insist on is that you can take a cent and take a cent, but you have to pay the corresponding price. You have to treat people and things reasonably."
"A holistic person can have his own goals. Even I have things that I must do, but for this … I can't always yearn for the world and other people's contributions."
"If you offend me, I can punish you. If you want to kill me, I'll kill you. If you're unreasonable, I won't be reasonable. If you're willing to accept my philosophy, I can listen to your opinion … That's all."
"Besides …"
Liu Xiaojiang was silent for a moment, and then he said in a voice that only Tang Miaoxing could hear.
"To be honest, they have just confirmed the news that Senior Xu Xin is still alive at Senior Qiushan's place …"
"So, if you have any thoughts about the current Tang Sect, then the arrival of these holistic people and that Zhang Chulan … isn't this a very good opportunity for you?"
Hearing this..,
Tang Miaoxing's pupils suddenly constricted. "Who exactly are you? Could it be that back then …"
"Me?" Liu Xiaojiang pointed at the sturdy mask that he had recently asked someone to make for him and interrupted.
"I'm Yinggou."
