Chapter 17 (2/2)

Since the Deilistic world, only his fight with Kunye was in fact well-known Simply because Kunye had defeated Shen Qiao before, as a person who had crushed Kunye, the rumors had already h only a few had really witnessed the current state of his martial arts themselves

What would people think if they saw hi the martial arts

martial arts which could easily take away a person’s head for piling up some fried peas?

He asked Shen Qiao, “Right now, your martial power is probably no o up by yourself?”

Shen Qiao replied, “There’s a s the cliff at the backside of thethe place It uses arrays as protective barriers If outsiders rashly charge in without knowing, they will only becoht even fall off the cliff No matter how skilled they are in martial arts, it would be useless”

Yan Wushi+ was indifferent towards it and was only going to watch the scene at first, but after hearing this, he actually becao see it”

……

Night fell The once lively Xuandu Town quieted down, gradually sinking into the slumberland under the starry sky

There didn’t seeo up the mountain He sometimes turned here and there, while other times he would intentionally avoid soo up the steep incline on the side It was all because these stone paths and plants were already integrated into the Divination Arrays If someone as unaware of the ins and outs were to walk here, they wouldinto the traps directly, then at least by triggering the alar detected by the disciples of Mount Xuandu

Whether it was the conversation between Yu Ai and Shen Qiao or the internal grudges within Mount Xuandu, Yan Wushi+ had no interest in either of them What he was interested in was actually the hidden Arrays along the road He followed Shen Qiao fro the path Shen Qiao picked whilehe considered to be a way of having fun

They walked like this for about two hours–in fact, they should have been thankful that Shen Qiao, though barely, had recovered thirty percent of his martial power so that they could arrive at the top of the mountain in such a short amount of time

Mount Xuandu stood high and precipitous, and it was much colder at the top of the mountain than at its foot As far as one’s eyes could see, there were quite a lot of Daoist temples and halls located there with layers upon layers Within the serenethat mirrored Daoism’s otherworldly, spotless purity

Shen Qiao had grown up here as a child and had long been used to the scenery While revisiting to his old haunts this tihtest warmth on the inside Instead, it was as if stones were piled up inside his chest; he only wished he could breathe out a long sigh

But he had no ti the forest as cover, he took the s

He stopped before he even got close to the building Squinting at it from afar, he was somewhat surprised in his heart

The place was called the Yuxu Pavillion It

Yuxu Pavillion It was the sect leader’s residence for the past inally, he was the one who lived there

After he fell off the cliff, Yu Ai took over Mount Xuandu as the regent sect leader Froh-profile actions nowadays, it was not hard to make out Yu Ai’s aht he would definitely make Yuxu Pavilion his residence

But when he cahtly closed There was no candlelight, so presu in there Could it be that Yu Ai wanted to wait till the rectification of his na in?

Shen Qiao pondered for athat since there was no one inside the Yuxu Pavilion, he should go take a look at where Yu Ai originally resided

Right after the idea sprung to histowards Yuxu Pavilion in the distance with his clothes draped over his shoulders and a candle in his hand

The figure looked quite faht was much worse than before so he didn’t dare to verify He had to watch attentively for a long time with his eyebrows knitted before he could finally confirm that the person was very likely his junior martial brother, Yu Ai

It was a cold and quiet night, and the buildings around here were mostly the tranquil places used by its sect leaders for cultivation, so that miscellaneous personnel weren’t allowed to enter anyway Since it was also protected by the Arrays, normal disciples couldn’t find the way in either–it actually made it somewhat convenient for Shen Qiao to move about

After a et closer and ascertain the actual situation first

Yu Ai went in the Yuxu Pavilion while holding a candle in his hand Soon, Shen Qiao saw a faint light through thebeing lit up in a room on the second floor

That was the exact room he lived in before

It was just that Shen Qiao had both overestimated his current martial power and underestimated Yu Ai’s ability He had just walked a little closer before a voice fell into his ears, “Which friend has decided to visit without being invited?”

The voice came from the distant Yuxu Pavilion, and yet Shen Qiao felt like it had exploded right next to his ears His ear buzzed Dull pain immediately burst within his chest He was forced to take three steps back, knowing in his heart that it was because of the other person who had used inner qi while trans the sound

“Junior brother Yu, it’s ave a reply

He knew Yu Ai could hear him

Just as he expected, in the next ht sound caure of a man had already appeared in front of him

“Senior brother, the Sect Leader?!”

There was surprise in his voice, but there was also a happiness that Shen Qiao did not expect

It was like even though Yu Ai was surprised by his appearance, he was also looking forward to it from the bottom of his heart
