Chapter 115: Encounter with an Old Acquaintance in a Small Town

  The man known as Shixiong nodded and said, "Shidi is right, I didn't expect that there would be a Dongtian in the Fowu Mountains. No wonder Chongxiao Sect suddenly sent out so many elder-level figures. I don't know if our Master will be able to gain any advantage from this."

  "Brother, these are not things we need to worry about," said the younger brother with a smile. "The news of Fowu Cave Heaven has already spread far and wide, within hundreds of millions or even tens of millions of miles, dozens of large cities' cultivators are rushing towards Mount Fowu. At that time, what can Chongxiao Sect do? Besides, the cave heaven is born, everyone relies on their own luck, who knows, maybe we can also get one or two treasures in the cave heaven with Master."

  "Ha ha, that's right! We're just following Master to Fowu Cave Heaven to gain some benefits, we didn't think of competing with others for any treasures."

  His junior brother's body was filled with the smell of wine, and soon he recovered and said clearly: "Senior brother, in the past few days, more and more cultivators have come to this small town. I think it will be just one or two days before everyone goes to Funiu Cave Heaven together. We should inform our master to come quickly, otherwise when the time comes, we will definitely be blocked by the people of Chongxiao Sect because of our weak strength."

  The senior brother let out the wine fumes in his body, nodded slightly, and the two quickly left the small town and disappeared into the night, apparently going to find their so-called master.

  Zhao Duo walked out of the dark place, his face showing a thoughtful expression, and muttered to himself in a low voice: "It's really strange, there is actually a Dongtian born in Fuyang Mountain. Isn't it said that there hasn't been a Dongtian blessed land for nearly a hundred years?"

  Zhao was excited and clapped his hands, saying: "Wonderful, it's really wonderful! The timing of the emergence of Fucow Cave Heaven is just too good! As soon as the cave heaven emerges, not to mention the entire Benyuan Continent, at least several hundred major cities' cultivators will focus their attention on Fucow Cave Heaven. And having taken over Zhongsheng Sect first, whether this is a blessing or a curse, it's still too early to say."

  At least one thing Zhao Zhuo can be sure of is that at this moment, Gongfu Chongxuan must be quite worried, and all his attention will probably shift to Funiu Dingtian, where he will have the energy to catch him, Zhao Zhuo.

  The fact was just as Zhao Zhuang had guessed, the dozens of elders who were originally going down the mountain with Fowei Mountain as the center to find out about Zhao Zhuang's whereabouts, but coincidentally, at this time, Fowei Cave Heaven was born.

  If it was discovered by these silent elders of Chongxiang Sect and the news was sealed, then Chongxiang Sect, which had obtained a place in the cave, would absolutely have a deep foundation. With the help of the endless heavenly materials and earthly treasures in the cave, after hundreds or thousands of years of sedimentation, it would rise to the sky in one move.

  Unfortunately, Heaven seemed to have played a joke on Chongxiao Sect. The commotion caused by Chongxiao Sect was too great, and dozens of elders descended the mountain at the same time. This was something that had never happened in the thousands of years of Chongxiao Sect's history, and it suddenly startled several sects with similar power to Chongxiao Sect.

  Although these sects are tens of millions to hundreds of millions of kilometers away from Chongxiao Sect, this distance is not considered anything for cultivators. Just like Luokai Mountain, a distance of tens of thousands of miles is just a blink of an eye.

  So, although everyone seems to be far apart, the distance is only relative to ordinary people. When dozens of senior monks from Chongxiao Sect went down the mountain and headed towards Funiu Mountain's territory, a similar number of people from various sects quietly followed behind these senior monks and entered Funiu Mountain's territory as well.

  It was only to be expected that the people of Chongxiao Sect discovered Funiu Cave Heaven, and similarly, the emergence of Funiu Cave Heaven was also discovered by people sent by several major sects. Almost at the same time, these people transmitted the news of the cave heaven's emergence back to their respective sects in the form of a transmission sound.

  When a secret is no longer a secret, even cultivators can't help but be envious of the treasure.

  Relying on being the first to discover Funiu Cave Heaven, Chongxiao Sect forcibly occupied Funiu Cave Heaven with its strong power, which angered countless scattered cultivators. No matter when, the number of scattered cultivators is the largest, but these scattered cultivators are extremely scattered, and a single person is not even an opponent of Chongxiao Sect.

  Then many scattered cultivators joined forces, hundreds and thousands of them rushed into the Funiu Cave Heaven together. In this way, the people of Chongxiao Sect could only helplessly let them go, after all, even Chongxiao Sect couldn't afford to provoke public anger.

  Originally, this small town was nearly 100,000 miles away from Mount Fuyao, but because Chongxiang Zong absorbed the lesson and began to disperse the scattered cultivators, the clever scattered cultivators gathered in a place 100,000 miles away, and then went to Fuyao Cave Heaven together.

  Zhao Duo didn't know that so many things had happened during the few days he was hiding in the treasure tower. If it weren't for the birth of Funiu Cave Heaven, Zhao Duo would have been discovered by the elders of Chongxiao Sect as soon as he came out of the treasure tower. But now, where did Chongxiao Sect have the energy to care about Zhao Duo?

  Of course, Zhao Zhuo may not be able to guess everything, but he can also get some information from the flower language of the two brothers, that is, now at least he is safe, and Chongxiao Sect should not have any energy to take care of him at this critical moment.

  After putting his mind at ease, Zhao Zhuo had nothing to worry about, so he went straight to the largest tavern in the center of the small town. Zhao Zhuo believed that he should be able to get the information he wanted from the tavern.

  No matter when, tea houses, taverns and brothels are always the best places for spreading news. When Zhao Zhuo walked into the tavern, it was still brightly lit inside.

  It was clear that the tavern had not been so large originally, but it had obviously been expanded by someone using the divine power of Nasumi on Sesame seeds, artificially expanding the internal space of the tavern. As a result, when Zhao Zhuo walked into the tavern, he suddenly felt that the tavern had become spacious.

  Even so, Zhao Zhuo still found that many cultivators were gathered in twos and threes, either drinking or chatting.

  When Zhao Zhuo walked into the tavern, he keenly noticed several divine senses scanning him before disappearing. Zhao Zhuo slightly furrowed his brow, although he didn't know what intentions the owners of those divine senses had, but seeing that everyone in the tavern seemed accustomed to it, Zhao Zhuo also didn't express the discontent in his heart.

  A woman with a maid's appearance quickly came forward, bowed to Zhao Zhuo and said: "This Taoist friend, I am Su Qi, at your service."

  Zhao Zhuo could see that the woman's cultivation was not weak, at least she had the cultivation of Fa Xiang Qi. However, she was acting as a maid. Zhao Zhuo hastily said: "Su Qi Daoist friend is being polite, I am Zhao Zhuo, I don't know the rules here, if there is any disrespect, please forgive me."

  Su Qi smiled slightly and said: "This place was opened by my master and several seniors to gather fellow cultivators who practice alone, and go together to the Funiu Cave Heaven. In order to prevent people from the Chongxiao Sect from making trouble, every cultivator who enters the tavern must be checked by my master and several seniors to confirm that they are not disciples of the Chongxiao Sect." Su Qi apologized on behalf of his master to the fellow Taoist.

  After Su Qi said that, Zhao Shuo's dissatisfaction in his heart disappeared. After all, she didn't have any malicious intentions.

  Seeing the changing expression on Zhao Zhuo's face, Su Qi let out a sigh of relief. She was in charge of explaining things to every new cultivator who came here. If she encountered someone with a bad temper, there were those who would scold her harshly, and some who would even take action against her directly. People like Zhao Zhuo, who were easy to talk to, were rare.

  Watching Su Qi leave, Zhao Zhuo began to wander around the wine house, and from time to time, he heard some cultivators discussing Fuyang Cave Heaven, which showed their yearning for Fuyang Cave Heaven.

  Having been to the Jiuhua Secret Realm, Zhao Zhuo was quite clear that these Dongtian and Fudi were absolutely a treasure land, but also accompanied by danger. Moreover, looking at it now, the danger of the Funiu Cave Heaven itself seemed insignificant, and the real danger lay in the countless cultivators of all shapes and sizes who entered the cave heaven.

  Treasures that move people's hearts are not something everyone has the opportunity to discover and obtain. So when they see others getting treasures but can't get any themselves, it's only natural for some to become jealous. It's easy to imagine, bloodshed is absolutely unavoidable, and it will likely continue indefinitely.

  He let out a faint sigh, and suddenly a voice came from beside his ear: "Huh, is that Zhao Zhuo?"

  Zhao Duan was stunned for a moment, looking towards the direction of the sound in confusion. After all, Zhao Duan didn't have many acquaintances, but someone here actually called out his name, which couldn't help but surprise him.

  At a glance, Zhao Zhuo's eyes showed a look of surprise, and the corners of his mouth curled up in a smile: "Eh, Gu Yong, big uncle Gu, how is it you?"

  When he saw Zhao Shuo shouting out his own name and addressing himself as "uncle", Gu Yun smiled wryly: "You little brat, am I really that old? Why do you address me as 'uncle' the moment you see me?"

  Zhao Duo walked up to Gu Yong with a smile, plopped himself down, grabbed Gu Yong's wine gourd and poured a bowl for himself in front of him, the aroma of wine wafting up.

  Under Gu Yong's astonished gaze, Zhao Zhuo took a sip of fine wine and said: "This can't be blamed on me, who let you and my mother be old acquaintances? I call you Big Uncle, what's wrong with that?"

  Gu Yong's face turned slightly red as he listened to Zhao Shuo, and he said: "Do you have any news about your mother? She and several others mysteriously disappeared back then, and there has been no news of them until now."

  Zhao Zhuo saw that Gu Yong was concerned about Su Hua's whereabouts, and he felt a little moved. It could be seen that Gu Yong's concern for Su Hua came from the care of an elder brother for his younger sister, without any romantic feelings.

  Taking a deep breath, Zhao Zhuo said: "It's a long story, perhaps Uncle won't believe it, but the truth is that my mother and sister were actually kidnapped by Luo Tong of the Chongxiao Sect. He wanted to force my younger sister to marry him, so he took my mother and sister away."

  "What? How can Zhongyu be like this?"

  Gu Yong's overreaction attracted the attention of many cultivators around him. Zhao Zhuo hastily pressed Gu Yong down and said, "Uncle, don't get agitated, Auntie and the others are safe now. I even took care of that scoundrel Luo Tong."

  Staring blankly at Gu Yong, after a while, Gu Yong looked at Zhao Shuo with a strange expression: "You little monster, quickly tell me, how did you cultivate? At such a young age, you have such profound cultivation, even I can't see through what kind of cultivation you are."

  Zhao Duo smiled and said, "Uncle Gu isn't bad either. In just over a decade of cultivation, Uncle's attainment has already reached the middle stage of the Dharma phase, and his cultivation speed isn't slow either."

  Filled with frustration, Gu Yong glanced at Zhao Zhuo and pouted: "Compared to you, this little monster, what am I?"

  Zhao Duo didn't say much, but looked at Gu Yong and said: "How did Uncle end up here?"

  Gu Yong looked at Zhao Zhuo and said: "You can come here naturally because of the fate of Funiu Cave Heaven, but you little boy, aren't you also for Funiu Cave Heaven?"

  Zhao Zhuo smiled wryly. If he had to say, his original goal was not Funiu Cave Heaven at all. Not long ago, he was still thinking about how to save his life. The news of Funiu Cave Heaven was only just known to him.

  Judging from Zhao Zhuo's expression, Gu Yong could tell that Zhao Zhuo hadn't really come for the sake of Funiu Cave Heaven, at least not initially. As for now, it was hard to say.

  Just as Zhao Zhuo and Gu Yun were chatting and laughing, a group of people walked over to where they were, extremely boisterously.

  The leader, who appeared to be in his thirties, had a pale face and no mustache, looking like a pretty boy. He was wearing luxurious clothes, but if it weren't for the air of nobility that barely matched the clothes, Zhao would have thought these people were nouveau riche who ran out from some corner at first glance.

  "Isn't this Gu Yong? What's wrong, are you also thinking of taking over Fowu Dongtian? Don't you see what kind of virtue you have? I think it's better to leave early, otherwise, if you lose your life, won't there be one less person to maintain that cheap woman Su Xiu?"

  Zhao Zhuang didn't intend to intervene immediately, after all he didn't know what kind of relationship Gu Yong had with these people. If he carelessly intervened and ended up causing more harm than good, that would be terrible.

  But now these people actually directly insult Su Wei, which is not something Zhao Zhuo can tolerate. His fist clenched, one punch would be enough to smash the guy who uttered such filthy language into smithereens.

  Gu Yong tugged at Zhao Shuo's sleeve, signaling him to hold back for the time being. He furrowed his brow and coldly stared at the man in front of him, saying: "Sun Li, as the eldest grandson of the thirty-two Sun families, it would be best if you could accumulate some moral integrity and not tarnish people's reputations at every turn."

  "Hey, Gu Yong, have you grown some guts? Even if our thirty-two families are humiliated by that cheap woman Su Huan, what can you do about it?"

  A man with a small mustache on his mouth rushed towards Gu Yong and shouted loudly.

  Zhao Duo furrowed his brow and said coldly, "Uncle, where did these vicious dogs come from? How can their mouths be so foul-smelling? Did they all grow up eating feces?"

  Gu Yong heard Zhao Suo's words, and a wry smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He couldn't see through Zhao Suo's cultivation, and he had thought that it would be better to let things go, but he hadn't expected Zhao Suo's temper to be so explosive. Now that Zhao Suo had spoken out, the people from the Thirty-Two Families in front of him would absolutely not let the matter drop.

  As soon as Zhao Duo's words fell, a man holding a folding fan rushed forward, pointing at Zhao Duo and said: "You little brat, what are you, daring to interfere with the affairs of our thirty-two families? Are you tired of living?"

  "The new book is on the shelves, it's all up to you guys now, those who can subscribe please do so, at least 300,000 words will be updated in a burst, let's make the updates come more fiercely! The more flowers (money) there are, the more updates there will be!"
