Chapter 21 (2/2)

Yan Wushi+ found it strange, ”Then why do you think I brought you out? What does your life or death have to do with y of the Vero search for it on Mount Xuandu directly Why do I need to bring a nuisance like you? You bear two books of The Strategy of the Ver your martial arts is just a matter of ti been looking for a person who hasso that I can study this set of ht with myself, and neither can I practice with that Bald Donky Xueting Aren't you the perfect candidate then?”

Shen Qiao’s mouth twitched He didn't knohat to say

He said after a long tiot injured while I was fighting with Yu Ai I'm afraid that you ask more than what my body can offer”

”That's why I have shown you such a greatyou sit here to rest for a while”

Shen Qiao said helplessly, ”Now I suddenly feel that being forced to stay on Mount Xuandu isn't as bad a choice”

Yan Wushi+ said, ”You have now regained your memory, that is to say, you can rey of the Ver you learned before In addition to the section you heard in the Beyond Clouds Monastery that day, it should be enough for you to co your realm to the next level”

Shen Qiao thought for a moment, then sincerely nodded, ”It is indeed the case”

Froh Yan Wushi+'s motives weren't pure and he often had the intention to take advantage of Shen Qiao or find a, Shen Qiao would still thank him a lot

Shen Qiao said, ”I haven't thanked Sect Master Yan properly since I left the spare mansion Were it not for you, perhaps I would have already joined the strand of departed souls at the foot of Half-Step Peak”

Yan Wushi+ replied, ”What you should thank theinside you I wouldn't feel like saving you were it not for its sake”

Shen Qiao tried to console hiht so on The Strategy of the Ver to me”

Yan Wushi+ said, ”When I fought with Yu Ai, I didn't find any inner qi inside hi Presue only passed it to you”

Shen Qiao nodded, ”That's right On that day, Master only passed the Book of Wandering Spirits to me He orderedit down Everyone out there says there is one book of The Strategy of the Ver hidden on Mount Xuandu, but till today, I still don't knohether that book is still there or not”

Yan Wushi+ found it very interesting: ”Does Qi Fengge not want Mount Xuandu to pass it on to the later generations or does he not want all of his disciples toof the Spirits to only you?”

Shen Qiao slowly explained, ”I also asked Master about it before, but he didn't answer Master and Immortal Tao were old friends when they were alive I heard that I after he completed it He felt that it would pull people around the world into an endless fight if the book was out Therefore, I think, perhaps, Master somewhat felt the same On one hand, he wanted the fruit of his friend's painstaking efforts of his entire lifetienerations, while on the other hand, he didn't want it to spread too widely as to ht over it That's why he made such a contradictory decision”

Yan Wushi+ snorted disdainfully, ”What a petty kindness! Regarding this ht with Hulugu, he was also like that! Not killing Hulugu, therefore leaving hidden dangers for the later generation! The state of his martial arts was matchless, and yet it was in vain because his mind was no different from an indecisive woman! If that's the case, why does he even bother to let Mount Xanadu’s disciples practice ed Mount Xuandu into an ordinary Daoist temple? If he wishes for a world without war, then why doesn't he start with himself?”

These words were bitter and acrimonious to the bone, but they were not completely unreasonable

There was so in coentle hearts and alere considerate of other people But there was also a difference between the outside, he witnessed hi of the common people and the rich and powerful ones in the world all being drawn into the gaed He found out that as long as Mount Xuandu was still inside this mortal world, it was impossible to detach itself fro It would inevitably join the game sooner or later

Unfortunately, before he could bring any change to Mount Xuandu, Yu Ai already couldn't wait to re Mount Xuandu towards an unknown path

He slightly lowered his head and sank into contemplation

On the other side, Yan Wushi+'s finger was already pointing toward this direction in silence with no warning

Since Shen Qiao lost his sense of sight, he had been intentionally training his ears After he heard soainst the stone and ju rapidly

Mount Xuandu's lightness skill was peerless in this world Once the “Rainbow Shadow” [1] was carried out, Shen Qiao's carriage changed at once Like a lotus flower being tenderly helped up by a wind, or a pond of s itself — he ance that was hard to describe One could vaguely picture what it was like when his martial poas in full bloom

It was just that Shen Qiao's martial power hadn't recovered yet Yan Wushi+'s speed was much faster than his He was only half a step slower, but the stone he had been sitting on aCrushed rocks splattered in all directions and rained towards Shen Qiao

Luckily, he was able to put up his inner qi just in time so that his face could escape the splash It was just that half of his sleeve was shredded by the sharp rocks The rocks even cut his wrist Blood streamed down his fair skin at once

”'The tender wave of the spring water pities the reflection on it, that all of the infatuation has turned to dust' It truly does deserve its name!” Shen Qiao didn't pay attention to the wound on his wrist; he instead concentrated on listening to the other person's movements

According to the way Yan Wushi+ did things, once he attacked, he would never leave any mercy for his opponent

After being with him these days, Shen Qiao knew it very well

For today's battle, he ht till the other person was fully satisfied; otherwise, he would just die in vain
