Chapter 126: Master and Disciple from the Same School but with Different Hearts

  Only one of the cultivators said, "Everyone, I believe your goal is to get the Azure Luan Bird. The Surprising Sky Tree has a vast area, and the Azure Luan Bird is not a group-living creature. When you arrive, it will depend on each person's luck."

  The four of them looked at each other, then nodded in agreement one after another. After all, no one wanted to have a dispute at this time. Otherwise, even if they were very powerful, no one could guarantee that they would emerge unscathed from the fight.

  What's more, if a dispute arises now, in case a fight breaks out, it will definitely startle the Blue Bird on the Heavenly Tree. If we provoke the Blue Bird, let alone catch it, I'm afraid our lives won't be spared either.

  There were exactly four teams of people, each choosing a direction and flying straight into the dense foliage, quickly disappearing from view.

  After the four teams disappeared, Zhao Zhuo and Bai Jing appeared under the Shocking Heaven Tree with Zhao Luan. The trunk of the Shocking Heaven Tree was extremely large, looking like a small mountain.

  Zhao Luan jumped up and said, "Second brother, let's go up too. What if there are young bluebird chicks? Wouldn't that be a bargain for those people?"

  Zhao Duo lightly smiled and said: "It's not that simple, even if there are young Qing Luan birds, I believe that with the strength of these people, they may not be able to get their hands on them"

  Bai Jing nodded slightly and said, "Although it's said that way, it's hard to guarantee that there aren't any lucky ones among these people. Who knows, maybe someone really will catch a young Qing Luan bird."

  Zhao Duo had to admit that Bai Jing's words were very reasonable. He was so lucky, who could guarantee that he was the only one in this world with good luck? Was it not allowed for others to have equally good luck?

  "We'll go in and take a look too. We've always heard about the wonders of Jing Tian Mu, but we've never actually gone inside."

  Three people flew into the dense foliage, and after a flight, what appeared in front of Zhao Zhuo and the others was a sturdy main trunk. Although it couldn't be considered the most important main trunk, it was still a fairly important branch. However, this branch looked like a small mountain to Zhao Zhuo, and walking on the tree branches felt like walking on flat ground.

  After accumulating for many years, the branches were filled with dust, thick and unparalleled. If it weren't for knowing that underfoot was the trunk of the Shocking Tree, Zhao would have suspected he had arrived at a flat piece of land.

  All kinds of plants grew on the ground, and even various small animals could be seen running on them. This strange scene left the three people staring in amazement and exclaiming in wonder.

  Zhao Luan exclaimed: "It's really too incredible, how can there be such an incredible existence as the Shocking Wood in this world?"

  Just as Zhao Luan exclaimed, a towering tree had completely formed a small world of its own, no wonder it could accommodate the Azure Bird's perch.

  The sound of Zhao Lian's exclamation kept coming from the side, while Zhao Zhuo opened his divine sense to check the surrounding commotion. After all, this was the territory of the Qing Luan bird, and if they were unlucky enough to intrude on a Qing Luan bird's territory, it was uncertain whether their powers would be a match for the Qing Luan bird.

  Zhao Duo came to steal the young of the Qingyu bird, not to challenge the Qingyu bird alone. As long as one's brain is normal, it's unlikely that anyone would come to provoke the powerful Qingyu bird.

  Just as Zhao Zhuo and the other two were walking slowly, a loud shout came from below: "Surprising Wood, there is actually Surprising Wood here, so there must be the existence of Qing Luan Bird. I didn't expect that my luck in Chuang Xuan Sect would be so good, first it was White-headed Eagle and now it's Qing Luan Bird."

  Upon hearing the sound, Zhao Shuo and Bai Jing'er couldn't help but furrow their brows. The two exchanged a glance, signaling to Zhao Luan to enter the treasure tower, then quietly followed the sound and rushed over, searching for a place to look towards the big tree below.

  Luckily, both of their cultivation had reached the Divine Transformation stage; otherwise, even though they were only separated by a distance of several thousand zhang, neither of them would have been able to hear or see what was happening below.

  At a glance, Zhao Zhuo exclaimed: "Hiss, it's actually him"

  Bai Jingjing also saw the man, and a look of surprise flashed across his face: "I didn't expect Qingque Elder to have gathered people from Chongxiao Sect. If he finds out we're here, we'll definitely not have a good day."

  Zhao Duo smiled and said, "That's also to be said after they've discovered us. Now their attention is all on the Qing Luan bird, they don't have any mind to bother with us again, unless we intentionally go looking for trouble."

  "We can't even hide from them, why go looking for trouble?"

  But all he saw was a flash of sharp light in Zhao Zhuo's eyes as he said, "No, we're going to go find them."

  "What"

  Bai Jingjing let out a cry of surprise, staring at Zhao Zhuo in astonishment. If it weren't for the fact that these words had come from Zhao Zhuo's own mouth, and if she hadn't seen the serious look on his face, Bai Jingjing would have thought that Zhao Zhuo's brain had gone bad.

  Pulling on Bai Jing's small hand, Zhao Zhuo whispered in her ear, and gradually Bai Jing's eyes lit up, a smile spreading across her face as she said: "I really don't know how you thought of all this"

  Zhao Duo was talking to Bai Jing when a group of people from Chong Xiao Zong flew over towards the Shocking Heavenly Wood.

  It is unknown how many people Chongxiang Zong sent into the Funiu Cave Heaven, but the number of people who joined Qingque Old Man was as many as ten. Among them were five elders, and the remaining five also had cultivation in the Divine Ability stage. The strength of this group of people was comparable to that of the previous four teams.

  The cultivation of Qingque Old Man is the lowest among the five old men, and he has not been seen for some time. Qingque Old Man appears to be in high spirits, no longer with his original disheveled appearance.

  The leader was an elder who had reached the middle stage of Unity Realm, and he wore a sword sheath on his back. The sheath was densely covered with mysterious symbols. As they walked, several other elders looked at the sheath with envy in their eyes.

  After witnessing the miraculous scene on top of the Shocking Tree, Zhongyu and his group sped off in one direction at an extremely fast pace.

  Zhao Duo and Bai Jing were far, far behind a row of people, dozens of miles away. Unless they deliberately went to search for someone following them, even the elder of the first stage of Qi Refining would find it difficult to discover that someone was following closely behind them.

  Elder Qingque smiled and said to the elder with a sword case on his back: "Elder Chengchi has made great contributions this time by obtaining the top-grade acquired spiritual treasure, the Da Jiu Tian Sword Case. I hope you can put in a good word for me when we meet the Sect Master."

  Cheng Chi stroked his beard and laughed loudly: "Isn't it just Zhao Zhuo? You said so, he's right here in the Funiu Cave Heaven. If I were to meet him, I would definitely chop him into pieces and help Luo Tong and Jin Jiao Lao report their revenge."

  Cheng Chi said so, the old man Qing Que's face showed a hint of joy. The mountain-guarding treasure of Chong Xiao Sect, Chong Xiao Sword, was only a top-grade acquired spiritual treasure. This time, Cheng Chi was lucky enough to obtain the top-grade acquired spiritual treasure, Da Jiu Tian Jian Hu, which was even more powerful than Chong Xiao Sword. It could be said that no one in Chong Xiao Sect had a magical weapon that could compare to Cheng Chi's.

  In this way, Cheng Chi's status in Zhongyuan Sect will rise sharply with the acquisition of the Da Jiu Tian Jian Xiang, and even the few elders with extremely high cultivation will not dare to underestimate him.

  The Azure Sparrow Elder and the Golden Eagle Elder, one dead and one injured. If it were a formidable opponent, that would be fine, but to be utterly humiliated by Zhao Zhuo is simply a loss of face for the Chongxiao Sect. If not for being an elder, they would likely have been disciplined according to sect rules.

  Cheng Chi's status is about to change, and the anxious Qing Que elder naturally came to curry favor with Cheng Chi. If Lu Kai Shan asks for punishment later, Cheng Chi may be able to say a few good words for him, and he might avoid many punishments.

  Cheng Chi was also an ambitious person. Previously, because his cultivation wasn't top-notch, he didn't have much power among the many elders. However, after obtaining the Da Jiu Tian Sword Box, it was a completely different story. With the Da Jiu Tian Sword Box, a top-grade acquired spiritual treasure in hand, even a high-stage cultivator of the Unity Realm wouldn't be without a chance to fight back.

  Now that the old man of Qing Que is so obviously fawning and getting close to him, a kind of ethereal and otherworldly feeling arises in Cheng Chi's heart. It was precisely this feeling that made Cheng Chi feel that it was a wise decision to snatch the Da Jiu Tian Sword Box from the hands of his fellow disciples.

  The remaining three elders didn't look good, to know that when the Dajiutian Sword Box was first discovered, it wasn't just Cheng Chi who found it, but also these three people. There were also some scattered cultivators, and it was these three people who helped Cheng Chi kill the scattered cultivators and then seized the Dajiutian Sword Box.

  Who would have thought that after Cheng Chi obtained the Da Jiu Tian Sword Box, his face first showed a surprised expression, and then he took out the Da Jiu Tian Sword Box in front of them to refine it, not even letting them take a look.

  Later, when they learned that the Nine Heavens Sword Box was actually a top-grade acquired spiritual treasure, the three elders were so angry that they couldn't speak. The treasure that everyone had obtained together, in the end didn't even have a chance to be seen by them before being monopolized by Cheng Chi. It's easy to imagine how the three elders felt.

  So all the way here, although everyone is still together, it's clear that estrangement has already occurred. The three elders huddled tightly together and were not close to Cheng Chi.

  Seeing the old magpie going to curry favor with Cheng Chi, the three elders naturally looked down on the old magpie. They were veteran elders, and their cultivation was much higher than that of the old magpie.

  So this group of people who were united in appearance but divided in spirit searched for the whereabouts of the Qing Luan bird on the top of the Shocking Heavenly Tree. Fortunately, several of them did not know that there was only one Qing Luan bird on the Shocking Heavenly Tree; otherwise, even if they had borrowed a few more guts, they would not have dared to be so reckless.

  The space on the Shocking Wood was not big, only half a day's time had passed when a disciple of the Soaring Sect shouted with joy, and two blue phoenix birds rose into the air, their dazzling feathers shining with a majestic aura that seemed unparalleled, clearly the king of birds.

  "Blue Bird, it's really Blue Bird!"

  Although the young of the Azure Swallow is not seen, the Azure Swallow itself is a rare treasure. If it were to be killed, any part of its body would make for precious materials for refining equipment.

  Zhao Duo and Bai Jingjian, who were hiding in the distance, saw that Chong Xiao's group had startled the Qing Luan birds. At first, they were worried, but then they relaxed, thinking that if people like Cheng Chi could rush forward so recklessly, even Zhao Duo was worried about them. Now, only two Qing Luan birds appeared, and Zhao Duo couldn't help but sigh that these people's luck wasn't bad after all.

  Cheng Chi stared at the two green pheasants, a greedy look in his eyes. With a wave of his hand, he said: "Everyone, let's go together and take down these two green pheasants."

  If it were just one Azure Luan bird, Cheng Chi could have taken it down himself, but now there are two Azure Luan birds, and even with the Da Jiu Tian Jian Xiang in hand, Cheng Chi doesn't have that confidence.

  However, except for Qing Que's elder and a few Chong Xiao Zong disciples who responded to Cheng Chi's words, the other three elders were as stable as Mount Tai, without any intention of taking action.

  Cheng Chi saw the situation and slightly furrowed his brow, but quickly relaxed and smiled: "Three Taoist friends, please take action to kill these two Qing Luan birds. After Cheng kills these two Qing Luan birds, he can promise that the spoils of war will be let you three choose first, how about it?"

  Knowing that his relationship with San had turned sour, Cheng Chi thought of taking this opportunity to mend their relationship after all they were fellow disciples and not sworn enemies.

  Three elders exchanged a glance, and one of the red-robed elders spoke up: "I hope you can keep your promise, otherwise everyone will go their separate ways."

  Cheng Chi smiled and said: "What are you talking about, Hong Ri Daoist friend? I, Cheng Chi, think that what I say counts, how can the things I promised not count?"

  Ji Hongru rolled her eyes and thought to herself: I'd rather believe in ghosts than your words.

  However, the three of them finally couldn't resist the temptation of the refining materials on the two Azure Swallow birds and agreed to take action against one of the Azure Swallow birds.

  It's a long story, but all of this happened in just an instant. When the two Azure Swallows flew up, Ji Hongri and three other elders blocked one of them, while the other was intercepted by Cheng Chi.

  The air was filled with a powerful energy, and the rumbling sound was endless. Amidst this, the cries of the blue phoenix birds could be heard. Zhao Zhuo and Bai Jingjing, who were hiding dozens of miles away, felt the earth shake beneath their feet as large cracks appeared in the land.

  The Qing Luan bird is not easy to deal with, and it took the combined efforts of Zhi Hong and his two companions to barely subdue it. However, if they wanted to kill it, it would likely take several days, which was unlikely to happen.

  It was actually Cheng Chi and the other Qing Luan bird who were evenly matched in their battle, with rays of light shooting out from the Qing Luan bird's body. Cheng Chi dodged continuously, not daring to directly confront the dazzling light.

  It seems that continuing to fight would be pointless, and the Qing Luan bird was out of options. A ruthless glint flashed in Cheng Chi's eyes, and with a sudden movement, the ancient wooden scabbard on his back emitted a humming noise, as hundreds and thousands of sword energies burst out instantly.

  Feathers fluttered everywhere, and the blue bird's body was covered in wounds. Its mouth let out a mournful cry.

  Zhao Duo and Bai Jing saw this situation and couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, saying: "What a powerful treasure!"

  It's clear that Cheng Chi is also using the Da Jiu Tian Jian Xiang for the first time, and seeing that just the invisible sword energy has such an effect, Cheng Chi can't help but burst out laughing.

  The intelligence of the Qing Luan bird is no less than that of humans. Seeing Cheng Chi's arrogant laughter, as a king, the Qing Luan bird had never suffered such humiliation before. If it was just a momentary lapse and got hurt, it would be fine, but if it was ridiculed and humiliated again, the Qing Luan bird would not swallow this insult.
