"Ha ha, this senior brother, I am from the Izumo Kingdom's Long Family. I came here to..."
"Hmph! No matter what Long Family or Phoenix Family you are from, our Divine Martial Gate does not allow just anyone to come in!" The Mountain Guardian Disciple glanced disdainfully at Long Zheng and interrupted him with a cold snort.
Long Zheng was taken aback by the disciple's words, but then he smiled again and took out a small bag from his Storage Ring, saying flatteringly, "Senior brother, this is a small token of appreciation from me. I came to see Brother Liu Wanshan, so could you please inform him?"
The Mountain Guardian Disciple originally took the bag and weighed it in his hand, still somewhat dissatisfied. However, upon hearing that Long Zheng was looking for Liu Wanshan, his expression changed. He quickly put away the bag, and his previously arrogant demeanor softened a bit as he said, "Alright, I'll go inform him right away. You wait here."
After saying that, he quickly ran into the mountain gate. Liu Wanshan was their senior brother and the Sect Leader of the Disciples of Direct Transmission. Hearing that Long Zheng was looking for him, the disciple naturally did not dare to be negligent; if Long Zheng turned out to be a friend of Liu Wanshan's, he would be in trouble.
From this, it can be seen that Liu Wanshan indeed held some authority within the Divine Martial Gate.
Before long, the disciple arrived at Liu Wanshan's door just as Liu Wanshan was preparing to go out. He hurriedly called out, "Brother Liu!"
"What is it?" Liu Wanshan turned to glance at the Mountain Guardian Disciple with an indifferent look in his eyes. To him, ordinary disciples were no different from the flowers and insects by the roadside.
The Mountain Guardian Disciple did not dare to be careless and quickly reported that there was someone named Long Zheng at the mountain gate who wanted to see him.
Upon hearing this report, Liu Wanshan frowned slightly. After thinking for a moment, a look of realization crossed his face as he muttered to himself, "Long Zheng? Isn't he the one who opposed me at the banquet in Izumo Kingdom? I really forgot about this kid. I wonder what he wants? Could it be that he still intends to deal with me? Truly overestimating himself!"
Liu Wanshan curled his lips into a mocking smile and instructed the Mountain Guardian Disciple, "I understand now. Go invite him in; I'll wait for him in the side hall!"
After saying that, he turned and walked back to his courtyard.
"Yes! I'll go right away!" The Mountain Guardian Disciple did not hear Liu Wanshan's murmured self-talk. He responded and hurriedly made his way back to the mountain gate, secretly relieved that Brother Liu wanted to see Long Zheng. It seemed that Long Zheng was indeed a friend of Brother Liu's after all; fortunately, he hadn't offended him too much.
Soon after, Long Zheng arrived at the side hall of Liu Wanshan's courtyard. As soon as he entered, he saw Liu Wanshan leisurely drinking tea in the main seat.
"What brings you here? Are you here to settle scores with me or to apologize?" Seeing Long Zheng enter, Liu Wanshan slightly raised his head and glanced at him indifferently as he spoke calmly.
Hearing Liu Wanshan's words, Long Zheng couldn't help but feel angry at his attitude, but he quickly suppressed it and forced a smile, saying, "How could that be? I came this time not only to apologize to Senior Brother Liu but also to discuss something."
"Discuss something?" Liu Wanshan looked up in surprise, thinking, how could this kid come to apologize? It turns out he has something to ask me?
Long Zheng saw through Liu Wanshan's thoughts and quickly added, "Senior Brother Liu, the matter I'm talking about is probably something you would do even if I didn't come to you!"
Upon hearing Long Zheng's words, Liu Wanshan exclaimed in surprise, "What are you talking about? Tell me!"
Long Zheng smiled and said, "Dealing with Ling Mo Xie!"
Upon hearing Long Zheng's words, Liu Wanshan narrowed his eyes, clearly interested. He asked Long Zheng with curiosity, "Why? Since you know that I would deal with him even without you saying it, why did you still come?"
Hearing Liu Wanshan's question, Long Zheng's eyes darted around. Naturally, he wouldn't tell the whole truth; instead, he replied to Liu Wanshan, "I don't want Senior Brother Liu to laugh at me. I can be considered childhood friends with Dongfang Siyu. What right does Ling Mo Xie have to interfere?"
After saying that and noticing Liu Wanshan's displeased expression, he quickly added, "Of course, if it were Senior Brother Liu, I might complain for a moment but would understand that it's because you have this fortune. As for Ling Mo Xie, what is he? Just a lucky country bumpkin favored by the Taoist Sect!"
"So, based on this resentment, I am willing to be your pawn for Senior Brother Liu!" Long Zheng said passionately.
Naturally, Liu Wanshan wouldn't be easily fooled by Long Zheng. However, after hearing Long Zheng's words, he felt quite pleased and laughed heartily, saying, "You say I have this fortune? That's incorrect; nowadays I don't wish to have any connection with her. You probably don't know yet; she has already become a ghost in the underworld! Haha!"
"What? What?" Upon hearing Liu Wanshan's words, Long Zheng was momentarily taken aback and instinctively responded in a daze.
Liu Wanshan glared at him in frustration and said, "I mean that woman Dongfang Siyu is dead!"
"Can’t you be a bit more ambitious? It's just a woman!" Liu Wanshan reproached Long Zheng with a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone.
"Ah, oh!" Only then did Long Zheng fully come back to his senses, but his expression still seemed somewhat dazed.
As he said, he and Dongfang Siyu were indeed childhood friends, and there was still some affection between them.
“How did she die?” Long Zheng came back to his senses, his face regaining a calm expression, though it still looked somewhat unpleasant as he asked Liu Wanshan.
“How else could she have died? Didn't she say a while ago that she was going to look for some treasure? She died in that treasure hunt. However, I do know that Ling Mo Xie went too, and he came out unscathed!”
Liu Wanshan squinted as he spoke. In such a large sect as Divine Martial Gate, this bit of information could still be uncovered. As for what happened inside the treasure, he could only speculate.
Hearing Liu Wanshan's words, Long Zheng's expression became even more determined as he said fiercely, “I will make that kid Ling Mo Xie wish he were dead!”
After saying that, he suddenly looked up and said to Liu Wanshan, “Brother Liu, I heard you are the most valued Disciples of Direct Transmission by the Divine Martial Sect Master. Could you possibly...”
“Don't even think about it!” Before Long Zheng could finish speaking, Liu Wanshan shot him a glance and said:
“That kid has the Taoist Sect backing him. If I openly ask the elders in our sect to deal with him, wouldn't that be seeking death? If we handle him ourselves, there’s at least some justification; after all, it’s just a conflict among juniors. I doubt the self-important Taoist Sect would want to intervene.”
“But Brother Liu...” Long Zheng hesitated as he looked at Liu Wanshan. He naturally wanted to say that with their cultivation levels, they might not be able to handle Ling Mo Xie after all.
Liu Wanshan noticed Long Zheng's concerns and smiled at him, saying, “Hey, you're actually quite timely. A few days ago was my fortieth birthday, and my master gifted me a rare high-grade Spirit Beast. It just arrived today; I was just about to go check it out!”
“Are you saying...” Long Zheng's eyes lit up as he asked Liu Wanshan. He had certainly picked up on the implication in Liu Wanshan's words; it was unlikely that Liu would suddenly bring up something unrelated while discussing serious matters.
Liu Wanshan smiled without saying much and nodded, “Come along with me to take a look. I heard that Spirit Beast has quite high cultivation; it's already at the late stage of Separation and took a long time to tame. Now it's ready for me to subdue!”
“Understood! Brother Liu!” Hearing Liu Wanshan's words, Long Zheng smiled and exchanged glances with Liu Wanshan as they walked out of the courtyard together.
Meanwhile, Ling Mo Xie was completely unaware that Long Zheng and Liu Wanshan were plotting against him. He stood atop the City Wall of Spirit City, watching as the soldiers of Feng Qian Guo were being utterly annihilated by the Beast Tide composed almost entirely of Demon Beasts and Spirit Beasts, along with Feng Yixing who was already on the brink of collapse after being battered by Little Red Bird.
"Beep! Congratulations! You have leveled up..."
Hearing the notification from the System, Ling Mo Xie looked around and realized that he had unknowingly reached level one hundred twelve, in the mid-Separation period.
Ling Mo Xie merely smiled slightly, but then sighed. What use was this cultivation now? If he had possessed such power earlier, he wouldn't have been caught off guard when Dongfang Siyu took that hit for him.
"Boom!" A loud noise jolted Ling Mo Xie out of his thoughts. He turned to see Feng Yixing, whose armor was tattered and hanging off him, covered in dirt and ash, with his hair singed and emitting a burnt smell. He lay in the pit created by Ling Mo Xie's earlier actions, groaning but unable to stand.
"Hmph, the Feng Family is nothing special after all!" Ling Mo Xie chuckled as he looked at Feng Yixing.
The Little Red Bird, following Shen Yan's command, ignored Ling Mo Xie and dove down again. A fiery phoenix-like illusion burst forth from its body and instantly collided with Feng Yixing, who was sprawled in the pit.
Feng Yixing didn't even have time to scream before he was engulfed in intense flames, turning to ashes that fell into the ground.
Ling Mo Xie shook his head helplessly and glanced at Shen Yan, his brow twitching. After all, he was also a Separation Period cultivator; it would have been nice to gain some experience from this!
However, it was not appropriate to voice this concern to Shen Yan, so he could only shake his head and sigh.
Just as Ling Mo Xie was shaking his head and sighing, Shen Yan staggered and said, "I... don't..." Before she could finish her sentence, she collapsed at Ling Mo Xie's feet.
Ling Mo Xie was taken aback for a moment before looking toward the battlefield. All the Spirit Beasts and Demon Beasts suddenly became chaotic, especially those leading the charge. Normally, they each controlled their own territories and would never allow other strong beings to exist within their domains. However, due to the Beast Tide, they had been gathered together by Shen Yan...
