Chapter 105: Rushing to the Skies for My Sister

  Although Zhao Zhuo's face was filled with a smile, Feng Quan was frightened, as if in his eyes, Zhao Zhuo's smile was like the devil's grin. As soon as Zhao Zhuo finished speaking, he heard Feng Quan tremble and say: "I... I am Feng Quan, it has nothing to do with me, everything is ordered by Young Master Shao, we have nothing to do with it"

  Who would have thought that Feng Quan was such a softie, even the other disciples of Chong Xiao Zong looked at him with surprise.

  Noticing the gaze of his fellow disciples, Feng Quan's embarrassed expression flashed across his face for only an instant before he lifted his head, not feeling the slightest bit guilty.

  Zhao Duo sized up Feng Quan and suddenly said: "Looking at your cultivation, it's considered passable. You should know something about the Chong Xiao Sect."

  "Feng Quan immediately said: 'Sir, please ask, as long as I know, I will definitely tell you everything.'"

  Zhao Duo nodded in satisfaction and said: "En, very good. Since you're so sensible, I'll spare your life."

  Feng Quan was overjoyed and immediately started kowtowing to Zhao Shuo, who looked at him with a hint of disgust in his eyes and said: "I'd like to ask you, what is the origin of the woman that your young master is going to marry?"

  Feng Quan nodded repeatedly and said: "It is said that the woman's name was Zhao Luan, a native of Wanghai City. Because of her beautiful appearance, she was discovered by an immortal official and presented to the young master."

  Zhao Duo's eyes flashed with a cold light and he said: "Is that woman willing then?"

  Feng Quandao: "Nature is unwilling, but what can be done? It's said that the woman's relatives are in the hands of the young master, under duress, even if you don't agree, it's not possible."

  Crash, Zhao Zhuo's large hand slapped the table and chair beside him, and the chair shattered into pieces under his hand. A fierce killing intent emanated from Zhao Zhuo's body.

  Feng Quan and others shivered, only to hear Zhao Zhuo's cold words: "Good, it's really good, Chongxiao Sect, it seems that we must go through a battle"

  After saying this, Zhao Zhuo's gaze fell on Feng Quan and the others. Feng Quan was shocked in his heart, and a terrified expression appeared on his face as he trembled and begged: "Please spare our lives, sir! I can take you up the mountain..."

  Feng Quan was really afraid of death, and when he saw the killing intent in Zhao Zhuo's eyes, he immediately knelt down and begged shamelessly.

  Zhao Duo took a deep breath, his large hand made a pressing motion in the air, and immediately the other few people fell silently to the ground, their breathing stopped, not even Yuanshen Zuxiang managed to escape.

  Feng Quan had a chill, and his back was wet and soggy, as if he had just been pulled out of the water. The intimidating aura made Feng Quan break out in a cold sweat all over his body.

  By the side, Bai Jingjing and Jiang Suke did not disturb Zhao Shuo. After Zhao Shuo dealt with several Chongxiao Zong disciples, Bai Jingjing spoke up: "Zhao Shuo, it can almost be confirmed now."

  Zhaodao said: "Wang Haicheng, Zhao Luan, I really can't think of anyone else besides my little sister who is born with such a beautiful face."

  "It's really strange, I've heard that the Young Master of Chongxiang Sect is extremely lecherous, but even if he is, it shouldn't be to the point where they would hold such a formal wedding ceremony."

  Zhao Duan was taken aback, a look of puzzlement on his face, and he glanced at Feng Quan beside him. Feng Quan immediately said: "To answer the master's question, Luo Tong has indeed met women who are more beautiful than Zhao Niang, but they were just played with for a longer time, never thinking about marriage. But this time, he came up with such a trick, and the reason behind it is not something that ordinary disciples like us can guess."

  "Never mind," said Zhao Duo, shaking his head. "If we can't figure it out, then let's not think about it anymore. Once we get to the Zhongxiao Sect, everything will become clear."

  "Now that my cultivation has recovered, even if I go to the Chuangxiu Sect and can't win, escaping with my life shouldn't be a problem."

  With a treasure like Yinyang Bridge in hand, it's really not that easy to be left behind under normal circumstances.

  He reached out and touched Feng Quan's body, and Feng Quan only felt a warm current flowing into his own body, then flowing into the heart area before disappearing.

  I don't know what Zhao Zhuo did to himself, but Feng Quan's heart was filled with terror. He glanced at the terrified Feng Quan and said calmly, "I've placed a prohibition inside you. If you dare to make any move, as soon as I think about it, your soul will scatter in an instant."

  Feng Quan's face turned pale, but thinking that he had the Dharmakaya True Body, even if his physical body was really destroyed, he could still live on, and only then did he slightly relax.

  It seems that Zhao Zhuo had seen through Feng Quan's thoughts, and he smiled faintly: "Do you think you can rely on the True Body of Fa Xiang to survive? If so, I advise you to dispel this idea in your mind. The prohibition is not only enough to make your soul fly away, but also can make the True Body of Fa Xiang's soul fly away."

  Feng Quan, who was thoroughly desperate, surprisingly didn't have a bad temperament and soon reflected on it. His eyes didn't have a hint of resentment, which made Zhao Zhuo quite perplexed.

  "What, don't you resent me?" Feng Quan's face showed a bitter smile as he shook his head and said: "What's the use of resentment? As they say, 'the technique is not as good as others', falling into your hands there's nothing to be said. I only hope that Your Excellency can spare my life." Zhao Suo smiled slightly and said: "You're a clever person, as long as you know what's good for you, I don't mind letting you off the hook." Along the winding mountain path, Zhao Suo walked with Bai Jing'er by his side. As for Jiang Suxiang, she had already been sent into the Precious Tower to cultivate by Zhao Suo. Feng Quan walked at the very front.

  Along the way, Zhao Zhuo saw the reputation of Chongxiao Sect. From time to time, he could see some disciples of Chongxiao Sect leading some cultivators up the mountain.

  Under Feng Quan's explanation, Zhao Shuo knew that these people were mostly small sects under the Chongxiao Sect who had made a name for themselves on Chongxiao Mountain. Normally, they wouldn't dare to resist the Chongxiao Sect due to its power. Now that the Young Master of the Chongxiao Sect was getting married, these sects, whether willingly or not, were forced to offer up their most precious treasures.

  Of course, apart from these sects that had to surrender under the power of Zhongsheng Sect, there were also many surrounding sects that came. These sects were on good terms with Zhongsheng Sect and their strength was not bad either. As for how to distinguish between them, just look at the reaction of the Zhongsheng Sect disciples leading the way in front and you can tell at a glance.

  Looking at those arrogant disciples of Chongxiao Sect walking in front, Zhao Suo slightly shook his head. Just by looking at the reaction of these disciples, it's clear how domineering and overbearing Chongxiao Sect is within the range of Chongxiao Mountain, and they don't even try to hide their arrogance when facing outsiders.

  Bai Jingyan's face was veiled, yet as she walked over, she still attracted the attention of many people. Of course, most of these gazes came from the disciples of Chongxiang Sect, perhaps due to the influence of Luo Tong. The disciples of Chongxiang Sect seemed to be particularly concerned with women who were exceptionally beautiful.

  On the mountain path behind, a man and a woman were slowly climbing up the mountain under the leadership of a disciple of Zhongyue Sect. The man had an extraordinary aura, looking around thirty years old, but the aura emanating from his body was quite powerful, obviously also an old monster who had lived for unknown years. Walking with the man was a woman, whose appearance was not particularly outstanding, but the elegant and refined temperament on her body made people's eyes shine brightly.

  When a man and a woman walked together, Zhao Zhuo saw many disciples of the Chongxiang Sect casting reverent glances at them.

  Zhao Duo spoke in a low voice, "Feng Quan, what's the background of these two people? They seem to be quite powerful." Feng Quan took a glance and revealed a hint of bitter smile on his face, "I'm afraid we're no match for them. These two seniors are allegedly disciples of the Qianji Sect, and their cultivation is not inferior to that of our elders."

  Zhao Duo slightly nodded and said: "So this means that these two people's cultivation is at least in the Returning to One stage?"

  Feng nodded and said, "The man's name is He Lianbo, with a cultivation level of Middle Stage, the woman's name is Liu Wushuang, with a cultivation level of Early Stage. They are a pair of deadly swordsmen, I don't know how many people they have killed."

  Feng Quan spoke in a deliberately lowered tone, clearly afraid of being overheard by Helian Bo and Liu Wushuang who were far behind him. However, Helian Bo and Liu Wushuang had such high cultivation that even if they didn't intentionally listen, Feng Quan's words still fell into their ears as soon as he mentioned the two names.

  He Lianbo and Liu Wushuang exchanged a glance, the two were a couple, because they had always acted as they pleased without following any rules, so even if they came from the Qianji Sect, they were still considered to be people who were both good and evil. If possible, no one would dare to approach them, after all, who could guarantee that a careless word wouldn't provoke these two fierce stars?

  When Helianbo's gaze fell on Zhao Zhuo, a sharp light burst forth in his eyes, and he let out a soft exclamation: "Wow, this young man has truly profound cultivation."

  Liu Wushuang also exclaimed: "Really can't see it, this young man is only in his thirties, and he has such a high level of cultivation. I'm afraid those who are known as geniuses can't even compare to him."

  "Hehe, this is interesting"

  The two quickened their pace, and in an instant they appeared beside Zhao Zhuo. He Lian Bo didn't hide his interest in Zhao Zhuo at all, smiling and sizing him up.

  At the same time that Helianbo was sizing up Zhao Zhuo, Zhao Zhuo's attention was also focused on Helianbo. After all, Helianbo's cultivation was much higher than his and Bai Jingjing's. The two of them suddenly appearing by his side; if he didn't pay attention, that would only prove that Zhao Zhuo had a guilty conscience.

  "Little brother, I wonder who your master is?"

  Zhao Duo saw He Lian Wen and didn't seem to be that afraid, hearing this he smiled and said: "This little one is a disciple of Qing Ye Shang Ren, his cultivation is not worth mentioning, it's actually laughable for seniors like you"

  "Hey, little brother, just call me big brother, okay? Do I look that old?"

  "I didn't expect Helian Bo to say that, Zhao Zhuo was taken aback for a moment, but quickly reacted and smiled: 'Brother Helian is right, I was rude'"

  No matter how close Helianbo was to himself, Zhao Zhuo didn't mind, after all, he didn't have the intention of fawning over Helianbo, so he just treated him as usual.

  What Zhao Zhuo didn't know was that his actions were secretly admired by He Lianbo. After the fame of He Lianbo's duo spread, no matter who they interacted with, people would always maintain a respectful distance, and over time, the reputation of He Lianbo's duo being aloof had spread far and wide.

  As for whether the two are really introverted and difficult to approach, it's no longer what people care about. Under the overwhelming public opinion, even if it's not true, it has become true. Zhao Zhuo's reaction made He Lianbo's eyes shine brightly.

  Bai Jingjing had heard of the two men's reputation, but seeing them take the initiative to chat with Zhao Suo, Bai Jingjing didn't have any resistant thoughts. With Liu Wushuang, they exchanged words one by one, and surprisingly, they gradually hit it off.

  As they climbed up the mountain, Bai Jingyu smiled lightly and said, "Liu sister and He Lian big brother seem not as difficult to get close to as people say."

  He Lianbo and Liu Wushuang looked at each other, revealing a bitter smile: "Rumors have it that even if we two want to interact with people, our reputation for being aloof and difficult to approach has already spread far and wide. Who would be willing to get close to us?"

  Zhao Duo smiled and said: "It seems that sometimes rumors are unreliable."

  He Lian Bo said: "Little brother is to my liking, I don't know what you two came to Zhongyuan Sect for, could it be that you also came to attend the ceremony?"

  Zhao Duo's eyes flashed with a cold light, and the corners of his mouth revealed a faint smile: "Hehe, observing the ceremony? Perhaps it is."

  Zhao Duo's words were strange, and the unusual expression in his eyes was seen by He Lianbo. He Lianbo was greatly puzzled in his heart and couldn't figure out what Zhao Duo came to do on the mountain. If he said he came to congratulate, then Zhao Duo's expression and words just now didn't seem like those of someone who came to offer congratulations, but rather those of someone who came looking for trouble. However, if he really came looking for trouble, how could it be possible that a disciple of Chongxiao Sect led him up the mountain?

  Some people didn't quite understand what Zhao Zhuo meant, but He Lianbo didn't ask much either. After all, he and Zhao Zhuo got along well, but since they had just met for the first time, it was impossible to confide in each other completely, so he didn't delve deeper into the matter. The conversation shifted to another topic.

  The closer to the top of the mountain, the more abundant the yuanqi on the mountain is. Chongxiao Mountain lives up to its reputation, with more than half of the mountain shrouded in a hazy mist, like an immortal realm.

  As we approached the summit, a joyful atmosphere could be felt everywhere, with red decorations and colorful streamers creating a festive scene.

  Zhao Duo snorted coldly and said, "I really can't see that the young master of Chongxiang Sect has such a big face. Is it possible that the mighty Chongxiang Sect is making such a big fuss for one person? Or is it that the next generation's sect master of Chongxiang Sect has already been decided to be Luo Tong?"

  He Lianbo heard from Zhao Zhuo's words that he despised Chongxiao Zong and looked down on Luo Tong.

  Feng Quan explained, "You don't know, sir, that Luo Tong is the only son of the sect leader and has exceptional talent. His cultivation is far ahead of his peers in the same school. After a hundred years of cultivation, he already has the cultivation of the middle stage of the Divine Path and is known as the number one cultivation genius of the Chongxiao Sect. It can be said that unless something unexpected happens, the next sect leader of the Chongxiao Sect will be Luo Tong."

  Zhao Duo furrowed his brow and said, "But Luo Tong's moral character is really too poor, can a greedy and lustful person like him be the master of a sect?"

  He looked at Zhao Zhuo in surprise, and He Lian Peng smiled: "Little brother is really interesting, greedy for flowers and colors, but it's just a man's nature, it can't be considered a big shortcoming. Compared to Luo Tong's talent, that little shortcoming doesn't count as anything."

  Zhao Duo was shocked by He Lian's words, and his gaze turned to Bai Jingjian beside him. Noticing Zhao Duo's inquiring gaze, Bai Jingjian's mouth curled up into a bitter smile, and he nodded slightly: "He Lian big brother is right, in the eyes of cultivators, being greedy for beauty and lust is nothing at all, as long as you have the ability, even snatching someone else's wife or daughter is permissible."

  Zhao Zhuo was almost provoked to curse loudly, but even so, he couldn't help but say: "What kind of ridiculous logic is this? Such an unscrupulous person, why hasn't heaven struck him down with a thunderbolt? It seems like just because one's cultivation is strong, they can do as they please?"

  He Lianbo didn't expect Zhao Suo's reaction to be so intense, and he patted Zhao Suo on the shoulder: "Little brother, you're right about this. Might makes right. As long as you have enough power, even if it means letting the people of Chongxiang Sect lick your feet, they'll do it willingly."

  Zhao Duo rolled his eyes, this He Lian brother really had nothing to fear, daring to say such slanderous words about the Chong Xiao Sect on their own turf.

  However, He Lianbo's words had a huge impact on Zhao Shuo, especially the phrase "might makes right" which flashed through Zhao Shuo's mind like lightning, resonating deeply in his heart.

  Zhao Duo's facial expression changed unpredictably, and Bai Jing and others could feel that Zhao Duo's mood was undergoing a transformation. No one disturbed Zhao Duo, they just silently climbed the mountain together.

  It was unclear how much time had passed, but Zhao Zhuo's eyes flashed with a sharp glint, and his mouth curled up in an evil smile that seemed to have undergone some changes compared to before, yet Bai Jingjing couldn't quite put her finger on what those changes were.

  It was He Lianbo and Liu Wushuang who had rich experiences, and at a glance, they saw the change in Zhao Zhuo. If it can be said that Zhao Zhuo's mindset still retained some of those secular false kindness and false righteousness ideas before, then now Zhao Zhuo is straightforward to the point, whether doing things or looking at things, no longer constrained by some worldly mortal concepts, and has officially entered the ranks of cultivators.

  The cultivator is the one who seizes the heavenly mechanism and steals the heavenly destiny, and is the most rebellious existence in the world. If he cannot break through his own heart, even if his cultivation is high, it cannot be considered a true cultivator.

  It's not that practitioners should be devoid of emotions and righteousness, but on the contrary, true practitioners who have broken through their original heart can act as they please, being ruthless or compassionate, with a transparent spirit that is not stuck on things, which is truly great freedom.

  He didn't expect that his own words would actually make Zhao Ke reveal his true intentions, and He Lian Bo exclaimed: "Little brother is really perceptive!"

  At this moment, Zhao Zhuo only felt that his mind was transparent and clear, as if the dusty mind had suddenly become clean. His thoughts were unobstructed, and the feeling of soaring freely in the vast sky made him feel an overwhelming urge to throw back his head and let out a long roar.

  "The new book is on the shelves, those who can subscribe should subscribe, and if there are flowers, they must be thrown. Flowers are the driving force for explosion, at least 300,000 words will explode, let's make it more intense!"
