The Great Way is easy
At this time, Zhao Zhuo, who was lying on the side, slightly furrowed his brow. In a state of half-drowsiness and half-awakening, he vaguely heard someone mention his little sister's name, and suddenly woke up. Soon, Zhao Zhuo became aware of the terrible condition of his own body.
But what made Zhao Zhuo breathe a sigh of relief was that the Death Dao Zun's words were still counted, at least he had indeed lost only half of his vital energy, and he had really left the ghostly place of Death Island, but it was unknown where he was now.
For a moment, he couldn't figure out where he was, and with his vitality greatly damaged, Zhao Zhuo didn't immediately show that he had already woken up, continuing to lie there pretending to sleep, but his attention shifted to the two women, one old and one young, beside him.
Jiang Suqing said, "People all say that the young master is not a good person. That Zhao Luan girl is really unfortunate to marry someone like him. Doesn't she know how notorious the young master's reputation is?"
Jiang Hua felt a secret comfort in his heart, no matter how simple he was as a disciple, living in Chongxiao Mountain, he had to have a sense of vigilance against one person, and that person was Luo Tong, the young master of Chongxiao Sect.
Lu Tong is also a young talent, with exceptional natural ability. At a very young age, he opened the heavenly eightfold heavenly orifice, and his biological father was the master of the Chong Xiao Sect in this generation. From a young age, he grew up under the pampering of his elders and the reverence, flattery, and fawning of his fellow sect members, cultivating habits of arrogance, cruelty, and disdain for everything.
If that were all, it would be fine. After all, the young masters of famous families have more or less arrogance, and Luo Tong just showed it a bit more obviously.
But Luo Tong was too greedy for beauty at this time, and his lustful behavior knew no bounds. Many of his fellow female disciples had fallen victim to his evil clutches, and he even went so far as to extend his wicked grasp to the beautiful female attendants within the sect. At least a few of them mysteriously disappeared, and even when the sect leader personally intervened to cover up the incidents, Luo Tong's notorious reputation still spread far and wide.
At that time, even the main hall of the Zhongshan Sect and the sect's executives dared to beat him, let alone those small schools in the mountains of Chongxiao. Who knows how many young girls were caught by Luo Tong and humiliated?
Under Jiang Hua's influence, Jiang Suqin thought that Luo Tong was a wicked demon who would stop at nothing. Now hearing that someone wanted to marry such a terrifying person, she couldn't help but say: "This Zhao Luan's family is really too much, how can they send their own loved one into the devil's lair?"
Zhao Duo's eyebrows furrowed as he lay on the ground, clearly having heard Jiang Suqing's words.
Jiang Hua said, "We're not quite sure what others are thinking, but it's said that Luo Tong took Zhao Luan's loved one hostage to threaten her. These things don't have much to do with us, as long as we deliver this Purple Wisteria Spirit Flower on time, I think we can rest easy in Lingyao Valley for the next few years."
Jiang Suqing nodded and her gaze fell on Zhao Zhuo's body on the ground, saying: "Master, I think this person seems to be injured. Let me take him to the guest room."
Jiang Hua responded with a sound, ignoring Jiang Suxin and instead picking up the Ziteng Linghua. This one spiritual medicine was their reliance on whether they could continue to stay in Lingyao Valley of Chongxiao Mountain.
Jiang Suqing picked up Zhao Shuo and walked towards a nearby guest room.
It's just a simple bamboo house, obviously not often inhabited, but there is no mess or dirt to be seen, it looks like someone cleans up regularly.
Lying on Jiang Suke's back, the pure and refreshing scent of his daughter-in-law wafted up to him. If he hadn't woken up at this moment, it wouldn't be very suitable for Zhao Shuo to let a daughter-in-law carry him.
After exerting some effort to put Zhao Shuo on the bed, Jiang Suke stretched out her hand to take Zhao Shuo's pulse and whispered softly: "The pulse is a bit weak, it doesn't seem like an injury, but why did he faint?"
Sat on the bed for a while, seemed to think unclearly, Jiang Suqing stood up and said lightly: "Forget it, let's go boil some tonic medicine to help him recover his body first."
Feeling Jiang Suqin leave, Zhao Shuo slowly opened his eyes, and a hint of inexplicable expression flashed across his face.
"Little sister, is that you? If it's really you, then where is this place and why have you fallen into the hands of the Young Master?"
With a flash of his body, Zhao Xiao entered the treasure tower.
Zhao Dahu was unconscious for a short time, so only half a day had passed inside the pagoda. Bai Jingjing, who had entered earlier, was sitting cross-legged there, nursing her wounds.
When he found Bai Jingjing, Zhao Zhuo couldn't help but jump in fright. He saw that Bai Jingjing's pretty face was deathly pale, as if she was enduring immense pain.
A small hand as white as jade has become like one stained with ink, and a white arm as smooth as jade is also like black jade.
A figure suddenly appeared beside Bai Jingjing, and Zhao Zhuo pressed his hand on Bai Jingjing's shoulder without hesitation. A pure stream of spiritual power poured into Bai Jingjing's body.
Originally already somewhat exhausted, the faintly unstoppable white Qi suddenly received Zhao Zhuo's support and immediately rallied to suppress the spreading dead Qi in his entire arm, firmly suppressing it within one hand.
Zhao Zhuo let out a slight sigh of relief, withdrew his hand, took out the Huayuan Dan and swallowed it, while recovering his spiritual power, he looked at Bai Jingjing who had opened her eyes: "Jingjing, what's going on? Could it be that these dead spirits are extremely troublesome, why haven't you gotten rid of them yet?"
Bai Jingyan's face revealed a bitter smile: "I originally thought it would be easy to get rid of these death energies, but after actually trying, I discovered that they are quite troublesome. They can devour my magical powers and strengthen the death energies. If not for the fact that the magical powers within me are still quite robust, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to suppress the death energies within me."
He furrowed his brow, and Zhao Zhuo reached out to grab Bai Jing's hand, subconsciously channeling a stream of magic power into her. Instantly, he clearly felt that the magic power was being assimilated and swallowed by the death energy, which had originally been suppressed but now grew stronger once more.
Rubbing his forehead, Zhao Zhuo said: "It's a bit tricky, but there's no way to do it." Bai Jingjing's eyes lit up and she said: "What method do you have? Quickly tell me"
Zhao Duo smiled and said, "My Yin-Yang Wheel Turning Great Millstone can absorb any energy, even dead air. Now the key is how to draw out these dead airs from your body. If not, even with the Yin-Yang Wheel Turning Great Millstone, it would be useless against the hidden dead airs in your body."
"Looking at the pitch-black hands, Bai Jing said: 'This is somewhat impossible. The dead energy seems to have taken root and won't budge. It's already fortunate that we can temporarily suppress it, let alone bring them out.'"
Zhao Zhuo shook his head and said, "There's nothing absolute in this world. The cycle of life and death is predetermined by the Great Way. We can't change it, we just haven't found a way to overcome it yet. Once we figure out a solution, getting rid of these stagnant energies won't be too difficult."
Bai Jingjing nodded upon hearing Zhao Zhuo's words, and suddenly said: "Right, how did you manage to come in at this time? Could it be that you've taken out all those Skull Knights?"
Zhao Duo said: "Do you think I have such great abilities?"
Bai Jing looked at Zhao Zhuo in surprise and asked, "What's going on? Why has your cultivation suddenly dropped so much? You had reached the Great Perfection of the Divine Transformation stage before, but now you only have the Middle Stage of the Divine Transformation stage. What kind of forbidden secret method did you use?"
Zhao Duo smiled wryly and said: "If it's a forbidden secret method, then so be it. Now that I think about it, being able to leave the Island of Death is really just a stroke of luck."
When Zhao Zhuo told the story again, Bai Jingyu was certain that they had really left the Island of Death, but there was still a feeling as if she was in a dream.
Seeing Bai Jingjing dazed there, Zhao Zhuo didn't dare to stay in the pagoda for a long time and left after exchanging a few words with Bai Jingjing.
Lying on the bed, Zhao Zhuo's thoughts turned to the young master of Chongxiao Sect, constantly guessing whether the woman named Zhao Luan was his younger sister.
Suddenly a faint rustling sound came, followed by the creaking of the bamboo door opening, and Jiang Suke walked in with a bowl of nourishing soup.
When Jiang Suqing saw Zhao Shuo, who had opened his eyes and was staring at her, she couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, a joyful expression on her face: "You... you're awake!"
Zhao Duo thought that this was the first time he saw Jiang Suqing, and he only felt that the woman in front of him had a clear and beautiful appearance. The pure and clean aura on her body made people feel very comfortable, just like a rare orchid in a secluded valley.
In the face of not knowing whether the other person is good or bad, she can bring a stranger back home simply because of her fundamental humanity. This shows that Jiang Suxin's heart is so kind and gentle. For such a woman, Zhao Shuo still has considerable respect in his heart.
With a faint smile at Jiang Suqin, Zhao Zhuo sat up and said: "Thank you, miss, for saving me"
"I...I just brought you back, I didn't do anything"
Hehe, Zhao Zhuo felt that the woman in front of him was very pure and had no ulterior motives. His eyes scanned over Jiang Suxiang's hand holding the medicinal soup: "Is this the medicinal soup you prepared for me?"
Jiang Suqing's face turned slightly red, and she nodded: "I also can't tell if you're injured or not, so I took the liberty of preparing some tonic medicine for you. Even if it doesn't have any effect on you, it can still help supplement your body."
Zhao Duo took the medicine and drank it in one gulp, feeling warm all over his abdomen.
Not to mention Zhao Zhuo and Jiang Suqing, in front of a bamboo building with a hint of history in the Spiritual Medicine Valley, Jiang Hua was standing in awe in front of two men in green clothes. The two men were wearing green clothes, with sleeves embroidered with an ancient sword that pierced the sky, making it clear at first glance that they were outer disciples of the Chongxiao Sect.
The symbol of Chongxiao Sect is an ancient sword that pierces the clouds, and to become an outer disciple of Chongxiao Sect, one must have at least reached the Yuan Dan stage.
Ruan Zuo and Ruan You are a pair of brothers, both with excellent qualifications. They joined the Chong Xiao Sect together and after more than ten years of hard work, they also reached the solidification period cultivation. Currently, they have been ordered to come down from the mountain to Lingyao Valley to collect the congratulatory gift for Luo Tong's wedding as the Young Master of Shaoyou Sect. Of course, neither of them takes Lingyao Valley seriously. If Lingyao Valley cannot offer a suitable congratulatory gift, the two brothers do not mind turning Lingyao Valley into a flat land.
Ruan Zuo was nonchalant, saying: "Jiang Hua, this time the Young Master's grand wedding, I don't know what Lingyao Valley will bring as a gift. It seems that your Lingyao Valley doesn't have anything precious either. With the decline of the Dao sects, why are you still stubbornly holding on? You're just occupying a mountain valley in vain."
Even if Lingyao Valley really fell, Ruan Zuo's words still stabbed at Jiang Hua like a knife. However, all she could do was listen; both Ruan Zuo and Ruan You had cultivation in the Solid God stage, while she was only in the Yuan Dan stage. Not to mention that she wasn't their opponent, even if she were, Lingyao Valley, which was on the verge of extinction, would still not be a match for the flourishing Chongxiang Sect.
Taking a deep breath, Jiang Hua suppressed the suffocation and anger in his heart, stretched out his hand and said, "The two envoys follow me."
I don't know what Jiang Hua is up to, but the entire Chong Xiao Mountain is the territory of the Chong Xiao Sect. The two are naturally not afraid of Jiang Hua's tricks, and judging from his appearance, he doesn't dare to play any tricks either.
Just as the two were about to follow Jiang Hua, a soft creaking sound came from the bamboo building in the distance, and a slender figure with a gentle and elegant appearance walked out.
When the Ruan brothers saw that figure, their eyes lit up involuntarily, and they stared at the figure intently, their gaze almost devouring him.
Jiang Hua's face changed drastically as he watched, his usual cautious and guarded nature had managed to keep the news from Jiang Suqing, but he hadn't expected a moment of carelessness to expose her to these two people, and judging by their reaction, Jiang Hua's heart sank.
"Senior official, please follow me. The congratulatory gifts prepared by Lingyao Valley still require your inspection."
Ruan Zuo and Ruan You gazed at Jiang Suqin without blinking, as if they had heard Jiang Hua's words. Only then did Ruan Zuo say: "No need, no need, the gift from your Lingyao Valley is this woman. As long as you offer her up, I guarantee that your Lingyao Valley will rise to greatness."
Ruan Zuo and Ruan You stared at Jiang Suke as if they had seen the endless benefits they would receive in the future. Wasn't Zhao Lian, who was infatuated with Luo Tong, caught by a servant? Now that servant not only broke through his cultivation but also received a spiritual treasure from the young master of the Shaolin Temple. Didn't everything originate from offering up an unrivaled beauty?
With a glance, the two of them could see that the woman in front of them was no worse than Zhao Luan. If they could offer this woman to the young master, not only would they be able to become inner door disciples with one step, but they also had hopes of becoming executives, it's simply a three-level jump.
They were just one step away from drooling, and with a single glance at each other, they exchanged a look that spoke volumes. In an instant, they made up their minds. Such an opportunity was a gift from heaven, and if they let it slip away, they would be struck by lightning. No matter what, even if they had to fight for her, they were determined to take this woman away.
However, the two of them didn't have much to worry about. If it were any other sect, they might have considered reporting back to their Young Master first before taking action. But this was the Spirit Medicine Valley, a declining sect with a Sect Master who was only at the Yuan Dan stage of cultivation. The two of them could easily destroy the sect and take the woman by force, what's difficult about that?
Noticing the fierce glint in the eyes of the two men, Jiang Hua's eyes were filled with despair, she knew that this time it was likely to be a desperate situation. Suddenly, Jiang Hua resolutely rushed towards the two men and shouted at Jiang Suqing who had not yet understood what was happening: "Suqing, run quickly!"
When they saw Jiang Hua's reaction, the Ruan brothers' faces showed a hint of a smile. If Jiang Hua didn't make a move, they wouldn't know how to react either. Now that Jiang Hua had taken the initiative, they naturally wouldn't be polite anymore.
Ruan Zuo walked towards Jiang Suqing, who was stunned, while Ruan You stretched out his hand to grab Jiang Hua's neck and slowly lifted him up.
"Ah, Master, you villains, let go of Master, let go of Master!"
Watching Jiang Hua being strangled to death by Ruan You, Jiang Suqin, who had just encountered a great change, cried and shouted.
The Ruan brothers only regarded Jiang Suqing as a tool for their own advancement, and in their eyes, she was nothing more.
"Little girl, come with us, enter the Chongxiao Sect, and the Young Master will pamper you well!"
Ruan Zuo stretched out his hand towards Jiang Suqing, who was staring blankly at Jiang Hua's lifeless body on the ground. Just a short while ago, her master was still chatting and laughing with her, but in the blink of an eye, they were separated by life and death.
When he saw Jiang Suqing's dull eyes, Ruan Zuo didn't mind. It was good that the other party didn't run away, so he wouldn't have to take action. If he accidentally hurt her, it would be bad.
Just as Ruan Zuo's hand grabbed Jiang Suqing, a large hand grasped his wrist like a steel pincer, sending waves of pain through him. No matter how hard he struggled, Ruan Zuo couldn't break free.
When Ruan Zuo saw clearly that the person who had ruined his good deed was a young man with a pale face like a sick ghost, he was first startled, and then said: "Who are you, dare to interfere with my Chongxiao Sect's affairs, are you tired of living?"
Zhao Duo looked at Jiang Hua, who had fallen to the ground and was no longer breathing, then glanced at Jiang Suqin, who was dispirited and listless. He let out a faint sigh, never having expected that so many things would happen in the blink of an eye, not even giving him time to rescue Jiang Hua.
Seeing Zhao Zhuo ignoring him, Ruan Zuo couldn't help but get anxious, and with his other hand, he slapped towards Zhao Zhuo, saying: "Second Brother, why not take action? Since this person is looking for death, let's grant it to him!"
Crack
Zhao Zhuo simply stretched out his hand and lightly grasped the fist, slightly twisting it. In an instant, a series of cracking sounds mixed with Ruan Zuo's pained cries, as one arm's flesh and blood seemed to be scraped off layer by layer, leaving only exposed white bones.
He kicked Ruan Zuo's chest with one foot, and Ruan Zuo flew out instantly. He happened to hit Ruan You's body, and the two bodies heavily collided on a big tree. A mouthful of blood spurted from Ruan Zuo's mouth, his eyes suddenly bulged, and he lost all sound.
Ruan You's seven orifices were bleeding, and for a moment he hadn't stopped breathing. He stared at Zhao Suo with extreme shock and unwillingness, as if looking at a ghost: "What kind of person are you?"
Zhao Duo looked at Ruan You with a sympathetic gaze and said: "It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is that you shouldn't be committing violence and harming people here."
Ruan's mouth spewed out fresh blood, and with an incomparably resentful tone, he said: "Zhongxiao Sect will not let you off..."
Zhao Duo said disdainfully: "Even if Chong Xiao Zong doesn't come to find me, I will still go to Chong Xiao Zong for a trip"
"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!"
