Chapter 113: My son is about to die, what use are you all to me?

  Zhao Zhuo grabbed a jar of self-brewed wine and drank it all in one gulp, then smiled bitterly and said: "I'm going to get rid of Luo Tong"

  "What? You... you said you would kill Luo Tong!"

  The shrill cry of the white reed echoed far away, coincidentally startling Su Xiu and others who were in meditation. Zhao Luan ran to Zhao Zhuo's front excitedly and said: "Second brother, did you kill Luo Tong?"

  Zhao Duo nodded with a rather arrogant tone: "Not bad, Second Brother will help you kill him. Who let him dare to bully my family's Luan Er?"

  Zhao Luan happily said: "Second brother is really great, I knew second brother would be the most fond of her!"

  Su Quan, on the other hand, didn't look like Zhao Luan, seeing Zhao Shuo's disheveled and frightened appearance, knew that things weren't simple, so he said: "Shuo Er, was it a lot of trouble to kill Luo Tong?"

  Zhao Duo nodded and said, "What a hassle, it's really too much of a hassle. They say that killing the young will provoke the old, and this saying is indeed true. I just killed Luo Tong, and as a result, his father Luo Kai Shan came over with a terrifying big sword. If it wasn't for Beiming Kunpeng Fa Xiang throwing himself into the spatial chaos, I'm afraid Beiming Kunpeng Fa Xiang would have been finished already."

  Bai Jing chuckled bitterly and said: "I was wondering why you looked so frightened, it turns out that Luo Kai Shan is after your life."

  Zhao Duo said: "Wrong, Luo Kai Shan is chasing and killing Bei Ming Kun Peng Fa Xiang, if he reacts and chases us, there will be no chance to escape"

  "En, what you said is right. If it wasn't for your quick reaction, perhaps we would have been killed by Luo Kai Shan already."

  Zhao Duo bitterly smiled and said, "What kind of cultivation does Luo Kaisan have to be so terrifying? With just one sword, he can lock down the void. Even with the power of the North Ming Kunpeng method, I can barely move. Could it be that he is a strong practitioner from the Daojun period?"

  "If he's really a strong Daoist like Daojun Qi, then your Beiming Kunpeng Fa Xiang would be thrown into the spatial chaos and he'd still manage to grab it out. We might as well not hide and just wait for death."

  "Is it that terrifying?" Zhao Duo's eyes widened as he said this.

  Su looked at Zhao Zhuo and said: "Zhuo, your cultivation has progressed too quickly, yet you don't even understand many common knowledge of cultivation. Daojun Qiang is a strong existence that can touch the laws of the Great Way, borrowing the power of the Great Way to shatter stars with a wave of his hand, instantly locking onto someone's aura across billions of miles in an instant. Unless one has a rare treasure protecting them, even if you hide extremely secretly, you still won't be able to escape Daojun Qiang's search."

  Bai Jing said: "Luo Kai Shan's cultivation should be in the Returning to One stage, high level, still far from the Dao King stage, otherwise how could you escape back here?"

  Zhao Duo furrowed his brow and said, "That's not right, Ku Rong's cultivation is also at the high level of Gui Yi period, compared to Luo Kai Shan, it's like heaven and earth apart."

  Bai Jingyan rolled her eyes and said, "Although Ku Rong's cultivation is indeed at a high level, but how can her magical powers compare to Luo Kai's? Being trapped on the Island of Death, even if Ku Rong's powers were one percent of Luo Kai's, that would be fortunate. Even so, it would still be easy for her to kill us."

  Zhao Luan also realized the severity of the situation, and a worried expression appeared on his face: "Then what should we do now? Luo Kaisan won't find us, will he?"

  "Don't worry, we've already escaped tens of thousands of miles away, and the pagoda has also retracted its aura, which I sank to the bottom of a large river. Even if Luo Kai Shan has incredible abilities, he won't be able to find us."

  Just as Zhao Duo left, Luo Kaisan appeared. Zhu Qiang, who was still in a state of shock, became so excited when he saw Luo Kaisan that he almost fainted.

  "Master, you've come, it's really great... waaahhh..."

  Luo Kaisan was taken aback for a moment, and coldly snorted: "You're Zhu Qiang, Tong Er's sidekick?"

  Zhu Qiang didn't expect Luo Kaisan to know his name, and excitedly said: "That's right, it's me!"

  Lu Kai Shan looked around and saw that there were signs of fighting everywhere, several disciples' corpses had been blown to pieces, the six people who remained now only had Zhu Qiang and a person named Chen Tong left, but whether it was Zhu Qiang or Chen Tong, they both looked miserable, their magic had been exhausted, even their true bodies only had half a life left.

  "I've come to ask you, where did Zhao Zhuo go?"

  Zhu Qiang said, "As for what the Sect Master said, it was just a short while ago that Zhao Zhuo suddenly summoned Bai Jing, oh, Bai Jing is Zhao Zhuo's accomplice, his cultivation is extremely powerful, one person killed several of us, Zhao Zhuo and the others hastily left, if they had stayed a little longer, perhaps the Sect Master would have had to collect our corpses for us."

  A cold glint flashed in his eyes, and he stared at Zhu Qiang and Chen Tong: "Are you still disciples of the Zhongyuan Sect? You actually watched as your opponent left with your eyes open. Can't you even try to stop them?"

  Zhu Qiang and Chen Tong were inexplicably scolded by Luo Kai Shan, their faces showing confusion, they didn't even know how they managed to save their lives, let alone have the ability to leave someone behind.

  "Our lord, we..."

  "Needless to say, you actually let go of the archenemy of our Chongxiao Sect. Do you know that Tong'er was killed by Zhao Zhuo? Do you know or not..."

  Luo Kaisan let out a loud roar.

  Zhu Qiang and Chen Tong were knocked to the ground by the murderous aura emanating from Luo Kai Shan's body. After hearing Luo Kai Shan's words, the two finally understood why Luo Kai Shan had reacted so abnormally - it turned out that Luo Tong had been killed.

  Suddenly, Zhu Qiang and Chen Tong's faces turned pale, cold sweat dripping from their foreheads as they looked at Luo Kaisan in terror.

  Lu Kai Shan saw the change in Zhu Qiang and Chen Tong's expressions, a sly smile spreading across his face as he said: "You two are very clever, Young Master will take the lead, without you by his side, he might not be used to it, so why don't you go with Zi Yu to accompany Tong Er?"

  "Don't..."

  Before they could finish speaking, Zhu Qiang and Chen Tong were killed by Luo Kai Shan's swift and clean blows, not even sparing their ancestral spirits.

  It's as if killing insignificant people is nothing, and in Luo Kai Shan's eyes, Zhu Qiang and Chen Tong should have died anyway. It was so simple to kill them, it almost felt like they were being let off easy.

  Luo Kaisan's entire body floated in the air, his divine sense spreading out like flowing water, instantly covering everything within tens of thousands of miles around him.

  Just as he had expected, there was no sign of Zhao Zhuo within tens of thousands of miles.

  But Luo Kai Shan would not give up so easily, allowing someone to almost kill his own son in front of him. This kind of humiliation and shame, if he couldn't avenge Zhao Suo's death, would become an unresolvable knot in Luo Kai Shan's heart.

  Time and time again, Luo Kai Shan's methods were quite overbearing. It was likely that very few strong practitioners of the Returning to One stage would be as meticulous in searching for someone like Luo Kai Shan, and still have such great patience.

  But no matter how hard Luo Kaisan searched, he couldn't find any news of Zhao Huo, and in his senses, there was no unusual presence at all.

  "How detestable! Can it really mysteriously disappear like this?"

  Lu Kai Shan did not believe that Zhao Zhuo had the ability to escape his search, but now the fact tells Lu Kai Shan that Zhao Zhuo's escaping skills are very strong, so strong that he can't find any clues.

  Finally, in the end, it was confirmed that relying on his own strength alone would be difficult to find Zhao Zhuo who had hidden himself somewhere, and Luo Kai Shan also stopped wandering alone in the vast mountains and directly broke through space to return to Chong Xiang Mountain.

  Lu Kaisan returned to Chongxiao Mountain with a gloomy face, directly appearing in the Grand Hall and exercising his authority as Sect Master to summon all the elders who could leave their seclusion to come to the Grand Hall for discussion.

  When the deliberation bell on Chongxiao Mountain rings, the entire Chongxiao Mountain echoes with that thick and mellow bell sound.

  "The bell on Chongxiao Mountain rang out, what happened?!"

  "Huh? The deliberation bell, after hundreds of years, the deliberation bell on Chongxiao Mountain rang out once again!"

  "Could something have happened at Chongxiao Mountain......?"

  "Good, it's really great, finally the strong enemy is heading towards Chongxiao Mountain, and then destroy the Chongxiao Sect..."

  Whenever the bell rings on Chongxiao Mountain, people's minds are filled with all sorts of thoughts, whether good or bad. However, this has little impact on the various sects on Chongxiao Mountain. But for those from the Chongxiao Sect, it is a different story altogether.

  Whether they were outer disciples, inner disciples or core disciples, even the servants, due to their insufficient status, they didn't know what had happened in the Zhongyue Sect at all. They only saw one elder after another entering the grand hall.

  In the grand hall, Luo Kai sat expressionlessly while the elders below gradually gathered in increasing numbers. Tens to hundreds of elders converged, a sight that had not been seen for centuries.

  Most of these elders spent most of their time in the cave mansion in Jian Valley, and some did not appear for thousands of years. However, this gathering brought together nearly a hundred elders, almost startling seven-tenths of the elders of Chongxiao Sect.

  Apart from the remaining elderly who were locked in, everyone who could come out did. After all, the council bell that had not been rung for hundreds of years was ringing, so something big must have happened.

  The elderly people with different expressions asked each other what had happened, and the sect master rang the council bell, but Luo Kai Shan returned without saying a word. No one knew what had happened, and they couldn't figure out what was going on either.

  After confirming that no elder had come out, the large doors of the main hall slowly closed together. The runes on the door lit up, and even if one's cultivation was high, it would be difficult to eavesdrop on matters within the main hall.

  An elder looked at Luo Kai Shan and said: "Master, didn't you go to rescue Luo Tong? Why haven't we seen Luo Tong return with the Master?"

  This elder was one of the elders who had discussed matters with Luo Kai Shan at that time and had personally seen the distress signal jade symbol sent out by Luo Tong, so he found it very strange in his heart. After all, after Luo Kai Shan returned, his face looked very unsightly, so he didn't speak until now to ask questions.

  When the elder asked about Luo Tong, Luo Kai's body fluctuated with a wave of aura, and a substantial killing intent burst out, making everyone feel a chill in their hearts, looking at Luo Kai in astonishment.

  Lu Kaisan's cultivation was among the top ten among many elders, and his killing intent was prominent. It was clear that his mental state had fluctuated to a degree that Lu Kaisan could not control. What exactly happened that even Lu Kaisan found it difficult to calm his mind?

  Taking a deep breath, Luo Kaisan's gaze swept across the faces of the elder, his tone cold as he said: "The reason I, Luo, rang the council bell and gathered everyone this time is precisely because of Tong Er's matter."

  "Lu Tong?"

  Many of the elders looked puzzled, and even those who had not left the sect for hundreds or thousands of years were even more bewildered. They hadn't even heard of Luo Tong's name, so it wasn't surprising that they reacted this way.

  However, the vast majority of elders still know Rongtong, after all, with Rongtong's innate talent, he has already won the recognition of the vast majority of elders, otherwise it would not be possible for him to be consistently recognized as the best candidate for the next sect master.

  At this time, Luo Kaisan brought up Luo Tong. An elder said: "Master, isn't something happening to Luo Tong? Please tell us in detail, after all, Luo Tong's matter is related to the next master of our Chongxiao Sect and cannot be taken lightly."

  Lu Kai's face looked somewhat unsightly, and he slowly said: "Tong'er is dead, killed right in front of me by someone."

  "What......"

  "How is this possible..."

  Luo Kai's words were like a bombshell in stagnant water, immediately causing all the elders to raise various doubts and exclamations.

  With a slight cough, Luo Kai Shan waited until the elderly crowd calmed down before slowly saying: "It wasn't that the person who killed Tong Er's cultivation was higher than mine. That person had a North Ming Kun Peng Fa Xiang, it was this Fa Xiang that killed Tong Er before I arrived and then disappeared into the spatial chaos. Whether he is alive or dead, even I am not clear."

  "Has anyone ever heard of someone successfully cultivating a technique like this in the past few thousand years, or even tens of thousands of years? This is a juvenile Kunpeng, after all. Even if one's cultivation reached the Dao King stage, they would probably just drool at the sight and not dare to make a move."

  It seems that Luo Tong's death is not as stimulating as Beiming Kuihuang's, after all, Beiming Kuihuang's reputation was notorious even in ancient times, let alone modern times.

  If it weren't for Luo Tong's own words, I'm afraid no one would believe that there is someone in this world who can cultivate the Kunpeng method.

  Just like the Nine-clawed Dragon, Golden-winged Peng and Nine-colored Phoenix, which were incredibly powerful spiritual beasts since ancient times, people can only think about them when practicing cultivation methods. Even if they really appear in front of you, you still need to have the ability to capture their cubs.

  Once the small ones move, they won't immediately bring out the old ones. Any one of them is not something that these sects can handle, so like Beiming Kunpeng and Jiuzhao Shenlong, this kind of dharma body gradually only exists in legend.

  Seeing the emotions of the crowd being stirred up, Luo Kai Shan's face revealed a faint smile: "Tong Er's grudge, Luo will report. If it were just Tong Er's grudge, even if everyone looked highly on Tong Er, it would still be impossible for Luo to ring the discussion bell for Tong Er."

  Some of the elders thought that Luo Kai Shan rang the council bell because of Luo Tong, and they were very dissatisfied in their hearts. To say nothing of just being looked up to by everyone, even if he really became the young master, it would not be enough qualification to ring the council bell.

  With a wry smile, where are the flowers? Everyone, look and see if there are any flowers coming out, let's throw them.
