"Old Sirs …"
Liu Xiaojiang did not seem to care about the 'immoral behavior' of the two old men. Instead, he calmly said again.
He calmly said, "I can guess who the two of you are talking about, but if I were that person from back then … I'm afraid Quan Xing wouldn't have come to the Tang Sect this time."
"Are you talking about Mei Jinfeng?" Tang Miaoxing might have heard about Mei Jinfeng before, but he obviously wouldn't pay too much attention to a 'stupid' all-purpose demon.
However, after learning about Quan Xing's real purpose for coming to the Tang Sect from Xia Liuqing, he finally understood what Quan Xing was here for.
This group of all-purpose demons who had suddenly come to the Tang Sect simply wanted to personally come to the Tang Sect to satisfy their various little desires when they had a 'legitimate reason'.
Mei Jinfeng and Xia Liuqing's purpose was undoubtedly to ask Xu Xin about some matters related to Rootless Sheng back then.
Shi Mo and the rebellious kid from the Lu Family might have also come for some unspeakable reasons and wanted to take this opportunity to learn more about Jia Shen.
Zhang Chulan and the two juniors from the Lu Family wanted to learn more about his grandfather, Zhang Huaiyi, and even his great-grandfather's bitter enemy, Rootless Sheng. These reasons seemed to be understandable.
As for the new sect master, Yinggou …
In order to take this opportunity to change the current situation of the Tang Sect, Tang Miaoxing could ignore Mei Jinfeng and the others offending the Tang Sect because they wanted to see Xu Xin. He could also sit back and watch Zhang Chulan and the others learn about some things from Xu Xin.
This was because whether it was Mei Jinfeng and the others, or Zhang Chulan and the others, as long as they acted appropriately, even if they 'succeeded' with Xu Xin in the end, it wouldn't cause any unacceptable losses to the Tang Sect.
Apart from that, this bunch of people's arrival just happened to give him a good opportunity.
The strength of these people on a certain level would definitely make most of the Tang Sect's disciples realize their own inadequacies. It would also make it easier for them to see the Tang Sect's current situation. It would also serve as a reasonable precaution for him to change the Tang Sect's future plans.
Therefore, in Tang Miaoxing's eyes, the advantages of the arrival of this group of people far outweighed the disadvantages.
Even if it didn't work out, the Tang Sect would still be able to balance out the pros and cons in the end. In fact, as long as they paid a certain price, the Tang Sect would be able to obtain a corresponding reward …
The only exception was this new sect leader who wore a mask.
Tang Miaoxing couldn't understand this guy no matter how hard he thought about it. Moreover, he couldn't guarantee that Yinggou would work for him this time because of the powerful strength that Yinggou possessed. He even felt that this guy's appearance might be the most unstable factor in his plan.
However, even though he knew that Yinggou might cause his plan to fail, he still felt helpless because of Yinggou's strength.
This person had no choice but to respond to the reasonable requests of the disciples because of his identity as the new sect leader. Was that why he followed Mei Jinfeng and the others to the Tang Sect?
Tang Miaoxing didn't believe that there would be such a 'harmonious' scene within the sect, so he didn't believe the explanation that Liu Xiaojiang had personally given him. At that time, he had no choice but to make a temporary concession because of the powerful strength that Yinggou had displayed.
Now..,
Mei Jinfeng and the others might have been cleared of the 'suspicion' of causing trouble to the Tang Sect, but Liu Xiaojiang was still the 'source of trouble' in Tang Miaoxing's eyes. He was the person who was most likely to cause great losses to the Tang Sect.
"Granny Jin Feng's matter isn't a secret. I believe that as long as you send someone to investigate, you should be able to find out that she … is only interested in matters related to rootless life."
Liu Xiaojiang looked at the smiling head of the Tang Sect in front of him and felt that there was something wrong with the other party's attitude. For an "unstable factor" like him whose purpose was unknown, the other party's attitude was a little too warm.
Thinking of this..,
He turned his head to look at the silent Xu Xin. A strange look flashed across his eyes, but in the end, he didn't say anything.
"What about you?"
Tang Miaoxing didn't deny Liu Xiaojiang's opinion of Mei Jinfeng. Obviously, he had already sent someone to investigate Mei Jinfeng.
"Mr. Ying, you are the sect leader of the entire sect. If it's not for the rootless life, I really don't understand what reason you have …"
"I'm also very interested in what happened back then," Liu Xiaojiang immediately said.
"Moreover, as I said before, other than being very interested in what happened back then, I'm also very interested in the Tang Sect's pill devour. I plan to ask for advice."
"However …"
At this point..,
Liu Xiaojiang raised his head to look at the surrounding stone walls again and said, "If the special symbols along the way are the Tang Sect's pill devour's qi path in the body, then the current situation of the Tang Sect … doesn't seem so difficult to understand."
"But on the other hand, the pill devour can still be inherited under such circumstances. Until now, there is still a senior Xu Xin. The Tang Sect … is really amazing."
The Qi channeling method that Liu Xiaojiang cultivated, even the Golden Light Incantation and Leifa, and even the Heavenly Talisman that he obtained from Lu Jin, as well as the Liuku Immortal Thief that he obtained from Barran, were almost all 'orthodox cultivation methods' that were born from the philosophy of the Dao Sect.
Therefore..,
In the eyes of Liu Xiaojiang, a person who pursued the Dao, the cultivation method of the pill devour was essentially a kind of evil path.
However, when he considered the fact that the Tang Sect's cultivation method wasn't focused on cultivating one's character or strengthening one's body, he didn't have any other opinions about the Tang Sect.
Assassins, killers..
In ancient times, this was just a profession that relied on their skills to make a living.
Moreover..,
After the Tang Sect stabilized in the world, they had long chosen to wash their hands of gold and no longer did shady things like killing people for money.
Liu Xiaojiang could even look at all things without prejudice. Naturally, he would not think of fundamentally denying the existence of a sect like the Tang Sect, nor would he think that people's purposeful cultivation was definitely a crooked path.
After all..,
The Daoist priests cultivated their minds and spirits to strengthen their bodies. Similarly, they also cultivated with a goal in mind. At best, their goal was a little gentler.
Crooked path?
The Dao was the Dao. Whether it was the righteous path or the evil path, there was no difference in the eyes of the Heavenly Dao.
So what if it was a crooked path? So what if it was a orthodox sect? Wasn't it still a difference created by humans? Wasn't it still a bunch of two-legged beasts that didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth?
However..
The Heavenly Dao was heartless!
The world under the feet of all living beings was also dominated by humans … That was all!
"Is that so..."
When Tang Miaoxing heard that Liu Xiaojiang wanted to experience the pill devouring again, a glint flashed across his eyes that was extremely difficult to detect.
Then, he said, "Mr. Ying, I already understand your request for coming to the Tang Sect this time. I can also agree to let you understand what happened back then from my junior brother, but this pill devouring …"
"Hmph, hmph, hmph …" Liu Xiaojiang noticed the strange look in Tang Miaoxing's eyes. Now that he heard the other party's words that were completely against his will, the corners of his mouth under the mask couldn't help but slowly curl up.
"Sect leader Tang, what a good plan …"
"Oh?" Tang Miaoxing smiled at Liu Xiaojiang, "Mr. Ying, I'm advising you to give up. After all, the pill devouring thing is still too dangerous. My junior brother has been hiding in the tomb for decades and hasn't fought with anyone. If anything happens …"
"If I give up the idea of experiencing the Tang Sect's pill devouring, can you be sure that I have another purpose this time?" Liu Xiaojiang suddenly said.
"If I still insist on asking for Senior Xu Xin's pill devouring, an unstable factor like me … Wouldn't it be better for me to die?"
"After all, the entire organization is very special. They use each other more than the friendship between fellow disciples. At all times, they are the most important. I, Ying Gou, have only been the sect leader of the entire organization for a few days. How can the others take revenge on the Tang Sect for me at all costs?"
"Moreover …"
"You've already said that. If I insist on asking for the pill devouring, I can only be courting death in the end … Isn't that so?"
At this point..,
Buzz!!!
Liu Xiaojiang's body suddenly emitted a strange black aura that seemed to be solid. Then, he said in an extremely gloomy tone,
"Sect leader Tang, are you trying to use the Tang Sect's pill devouring to make use of a so-called accident … to kill me?"
In an instant..,
A few Tang Sect disciples who were hiding in the surrounding caves jumped down from a high place and immediately surrounded Liu Xiaojiang.
These Tang Sect disciples dressed in white robes were the same as the two who were in charge of leading the way. Their faces were filled with an extreme indifference that did not resemble that of a normal person. No matter who saw them … no one would suspect that these seemingly abnormal people would give up their lives for some purpose at any moment.
Liu Xiaojiang noticed the actions of the Tang Sect disciples around him, but he was still standing in front of Tang Miaoxing and Xu Xin. He did not even look at these Tang Sect disciples who were only a little special in their emotions.
"A few old fellows from the Lu family attacked together, but they couldn't stop me from leaving at that time. Instead, I personally crippled the next clan leader, Lu Zhong …"
"Sect leader Tang, if you are hostile to me, with the current Tang Sect in the middle of Sichuan, have you thought about the price you will pay?"
"Hahaha …" Tang Miaoxing was still sitting on the stone platform. He looked at Liu Xiaojiang with a smile on his face and said,
"Mr. Ying, aren't you being a little too serious with your words? I'm not as shameless as you think I am. Since you're not using your power to bully the Tang Sect, why would I do as you say? Why would I think of using something like Pill Devouring to create an accident?"
"You're thinking too much …"
After saying that, the old man immediately waved his hand at the surrounding Tang Sect disciples, stopping them from further offending Liu Xiaojiang in time.
"The people of the Tang Sect are proud of the pill devouring and its past achievements. This is also one of the main reasons why I bet on the pill devouring so that more Tang Sect disciples will have the chance to inherit it and eventually change the decline of the Tang Sect."
"The pill devouring is indeed unique. Moreover, whether it's the person who wants to inherit it or the person who faces it in a fight, it's a terrifying thing that will kill you if you're not careful …"
"There's no cure for the pill devouring poison. Even the person who uses it can't save the person who is poisoned by the pill devouring. Therefore, it's precisely because it's dangerous enough that I want Mr. Ying to give up on the idea of learning about it. As for other requests that won't harm the interests of the Tang Sect, I can agree to them."
Hearing this..,
Liu Xiaojiang didn't say anything..,
Xu Xin, who was silent at the side, couldn't help but look at Tang Miaoxing a few times. It seemed that he was undoubtedly sizing up his senior brother. He didn't expect the other party to be so thick-skinned.
Liu Xiaojiang was silent for a moment. Then, he slowly opened his mouth and said,
"… Old Sir, do you think I'm a fool? Do you think I only became the sect leader because of my strength?"
"Of course not …" Tang Miaoxing replied with a smile,
"However, Mr. Ying, please don't underestimate me. If I really wanted to scheme something at this time, why would I use such a method that can be easily seen through?"
As soon as these words were said, everyone present fell into silence. Even the indifferent Tang Sect disciples around them couldn't help but look at Tang Miaoxing a few more times.
"…" Xu Xin.
"…" Liu Xiaojiang.
Shameless!
This old man is really f * cking shameless!
He's finished all the good and bad words!
How did I become a big villain who makes things difficult for the Tang Sect?!
A moment later..,
"Hehe …" Liu Xiaojiang resisted the urge to curse in his heart. He gradually withdrew the strange black aura that was emitting from his body and said calmly,
"I see …"
"If that's the case, then I'm thinking too much. I hope Sect Leader Tang doesn't mind too much."
"After all, I'm already used to the old and rotten things in the circle. Everyone has been scheming and working hard to survive all these years …"
"I understand, I understand …" Tang Miaoxing nodded in an extremely magnanimous manner and smiled.
"Since we've already said this, and Mr. Ying has already understood my thoughts, then let's see what Tang Sect's Dan Shi thinks …"
"Senior Xu Xin." Liu Xiaojiang turned to look at the silent Xu Xin and said,
"If you think you're ready, we can start at any time. Whether it's the assassination method that the Tang Sect is used to or a head-on fight … anything is fine."
Then, without waiting for Tang Miaoxing and Xu Xin's reaction, he immediately took a few steps back and sat down on the ground. He looked up at the two old men and said,
"It doesn't matter whether Sect Leader Tang's thoughts are true or not, and it doesn't matter whether the two of you want to kill me … There's no need to show mercy."
"I'm indeed here for Dan Shi. Even if I have other motives, I'll have to wait until after I've experienced Dan Shi …"
"If I really die because of Tang Sect's Dan Shi, then it can only mean that I'm not strong enough."
"But if I don't die …"
Liu Xiaojiang suddenly looked at Tang Miaoxing, revealing a meaningful smile, and said,
"Sect Leader Tang, you'd better hope that I'm dead. If not … hmph."
"…" Tang Miaoxing saw this and finally put away the smile on his face. He turned his head to look at Xu Xin and said,
"Junior Brother …"
"Senior Brother, I understand." Xu Xin nodded at Tang Miaoxing and slowly stood up from the stone platform. He walked slowly to Liu Xiaojiang.
"Kid, I'm sorry …"
