Volume 2—Chapter 45: Tripart.i.te Gathered, Encountering Qin Nan
After Xie Zongyuan greeted them, everyone boarded his Dragontooth s.h.i.+p together.
The flying s.h.i.+p was worthy to be used by Profound Light Realm cultivators, since its speed was comparable to imperial flying swords. In just a day, a palace hall with a green tiled roof and vermillion pillar appeared on the horizon.
Curling vortices of propitious qi soared up on top of the palace hall as it was connected with an auspicious mist of a magical cloud from the sky, with jadeite lights sprinkled down as it split open the layer of clouds. Three layers of jade stairs laid down before the palace hall as though they were frozen water clouds with its sparkling and translucent magnificent elegance. In front of it, the copper incense burner produced greenish blurry smoke as it curled up the hazy and imaginary mist.
In his astonishment, Xie Zongyuan said with a gasp, “Ai, the spiritual qi here is soaring to the sky. This Dao Master Peng really has a deep cultivation base, even being able to create a profound cultivation technique that is able to interact between the heaven and men with such red cloud accompanying. I fear that the 10 Dao Masters' names in the Azure Ocean Sect would be changed within a few days of time.”
Zhao Zhen interrupted with a scoff, ”Bah, how could it be so simple? It's just a look-alike situation. But the fact is that the sky and the earth is still separated. My granduncle has once said that it would be quite fortunate if Dao Master Peng is able to cross over this mountain of obstacle within these 100 years. If he were unable to do it, even with his inborn talents, it would be hopeless in his entire life.”
Although Xie Zongyuan did not agree, since they would soon arrive at the Guardian Hall, he did not dare to speak anymore, so as to avoid it would be heard by Dao Master Peng and court more trouble for them.
On the other hand, Zhao Zhen thought that his words were sharp and had cut through the key point, as he could not help but feel proud of himself.
Zhang Yan felt funny inside. This Zhao Zhen seemed to be in a rush, coming up with harping in a different tune for each and every topic someone else raised. The more t.i.t for tat, the more spirited he was with fallacious reasoning for most of his words, which made everyone feel annoyed and loathe him. If it were not because this group relied on this person to lead the way, he would perhaps have been driven away a long time ago.
Seeing the arrival of the flying s.h.i.+p, some guardians of the palace hall greeted them. Some of them were straight and stern, while there was also somewhat a beautiful Daoist nun who welcomed them. She bowed and said, ”Several Senior Brothers also came to this Demon Hole to cultivate?”
Liu Tao and Zhang Yan glanced at each other, while Xie Zongyuan was the one who replied with a strange tone, ”Ah, apart from us, are there anyone else who came here?”
The Daoist nun said with laugh, ”It's just like this Senior Brother said. 5 days ago, Dao Master Yan's disciple from the sect, Senior Brother Fang, has come to this place. He said that he must lead some of his fellow apprentices to enter and cultivate in this Demon Hole. And 3 days ago, several Senior Brothers from the Pure Cloud's Han Family also came here. Apart from Senior Brother's group, perhaps there are at least 20 people here.”
Pure Cloud's Han Family?
Even Xie Zongyuan's face was also slightly moved. Pure Cloud's Han Family was one of the Five Great Families name. It's an influential family amongst ancient families in the Azure Ocean Sect. The members and disciples from this family usually had very few contact with other disciples, and it was unexpected that they would come to practice in this Demon Hole. It seemed like they were also practicing to enhance their cultivation base to attack the Three Anchor Lakes.
The Daoist nun continued, “The Sea Eye's gate opened at the first day of lunar month, and only 15 people could enter. I'm afraid that several Senior Brothers would have to wait for a few days more. Anyway, what should I address these Senior Brothers as? I will have to go in to clean up the houses and prepare for the meals for all of you.”
When Xie Zongyuan was about to answer it, Zhao Zhen's ridicule suddenly sounded, ”We don't need to tell our names since I fear that we'll have to eat our own tongues tonight.”
Upon hearing these words, the Daoist nun was stumped for words as her face turned reddish, a somewhat humiliated and angry expression was suddenly cast on her face. She spoke no longer, turning around and then walked inside.
Xie Zongyuan shook his head and said, ”I never thought that Fang Zhen and his group would have come here.”
Zhang Yan's eyes slightly flashed as he said, ”It's not surprising though. Fang Zhen is also a Third Stage Radiant Qi Realm cultivator. They presumably also know about the Sect's plan to attack Three Anchor Lakes. So they also came here to practice. Moreover, everyone knows that Dao Master Zhu and Dao Master Yan are sworn brothers, whilst Zhuang Bufan is also Dao Master Zhu's disciple. He had suppressed the Demon Hole for 16 years, and he did not run into monsters and demons there. So he should be familiar with the situation inside. Thus, pointing about the path for Fang Zhen is not a difficult issue.”
“Suppressing eh?” Zhao Zhen spoke with disdain in his face. Then, he curled up his lips and continued, ”He's only openly taking advantages to practice supernatural powers. If it were not for this large array of restrictive seals from the Guardian Hall, the monsters and demons from inside would have already been running amok. When the h.e.l.l has he suppressed anything? Lest that he's only one person, even if there are many of him, it wouldn't amount to much.”
Xie Zongyuan coughed as he looked at Liu Tao, who appeared to understand the situation. Liu Tao then immediately spoke, ”This is the first time I came to this Guardian Hall. I don't know what scenery this place has. How about Senior Brother Zhao give a tour for me now?”
Then, regardless of whether Zhao Zhen agreed or not, he dragged him away.
Cheng An did not make any sounds whatsoever. He seemed to hesitate for a moment before he followed Liu Tao and left.
Xie Zongyuan gestured Zhang Yan and went to a secluded corner, saying, “I am not familiar with the path under the Sea Eye. The only thing that can be expected is this Zhao Zhen. But this fellow's words are annoying. And he's a scatterbrain and d.a.m.n is frivolous. I really don't know if I can take it any longer.”
Seeing that Xie Zongyuan began to get incensed, Zhang Yan could not help laugh and say with a smile, ”We don't need to doubt somebody who would work for us, neither do we need to suspect him. Besides, this fellow's words are aimless. Just take it as lips and teeth service jokes from him.”
