NOVEL WEB Chapter 19
“Do you know that in ancient times, within a radius of ten thousand li with Pingjiang as the foundation, what kind of place was it?” Qingshan Patriarch asked.
Zhu Yun shook his head repeatedly.
“The ancient books say that in ancient times, within a radius of ten thousand li around Pingjiang was the land of immortals. Although later on, no one knows what happened that caused its decline, since ancient times, Pingjiang has always been a place that military families must contend for, which is enough to explain that Pingjiang is no ordinary place.” Qingshan Patriarch explained.
“But what does this have to do with this senior?” Zhu Yun asked doubtfully.
Qingshan Patriarch sighed with feeling, not knowing whether he was lamenting Zhu Yun’s stupidity or something else. After pondering for a long time, he finally said, “Pingjiang must be hiding secrets unknown to others, so it is also possible that this senior is using Pingjiang as a foundation and the entire South Sha as a scope to make the next earth-shattering move!”
As soon as Qingshan Patriarch’s words fell, Zhu Yun’s body shuddered violently.
Taking Pingjiang as the foundation and South Sha as the scope, making the next big move.
Just thinking about it made one feel terrified! But this was something that Zhu Yun as the sect master of Qingshan Sect didn’t even dare to imagine.
Otherwise, how could someone as supreme as Yi Feng appear in a small place like Pingjiang City?
“But Master, if this is really the case, aren't we...?” As if thinking of something, Zhu Yun asked in horror with wide eyes.
“That's right.”
Qingshan Patriarch did not deny it. “If this is really the case, then we are all just chess pieces.”
“Then what should we do?” Zhu Yun asked anxiously.
“Foolishness.”
Qingshan Patriarch glared at Zhu Yun and scolded, “If you change your way of thinking about it, you won't have this worry.”
“What do you mean, Master?”
“Indeed, I think that being able to become the senior's chess piece is not a bad thing, but the greatest opportunity for my Qingshan Sect.” Having said this, Qingshan Patriarch sighed feelingly and said, “In the past five hundred years, my Qingshan Sect has been declining day by day. Pessimistically speaking, we will eventually be submerged in the long river of history. Even if that doesn't happen, we can only barely survive.”
“Are you willing to accept that?”
Qingshan Patriarch's voice fell into Zhu Yun's ears, making his mind tremble.
Was he willing? Of course not.
But could he really fulfill his wishes as Qingshan Patriarch said?
“However, we can't guess the senior's thoughts, but we can take this opportunity to ask the senior.”
“Let's go.”
“Follow me inside.”
As they walked into the martial arts hall one after the other, Zhu Yun was directly immersed in the eighteen paintings in the front hall. Fortunately, the experienced Qingshan Patriarch pulled him back in time.
Even so, Zhu Yun was still scared out of his wits, and his whole body broke out in a cold sweat.
By now, he was completely convinced of the master of this martial arts hall's ability.
He no longer had any doubts about becoming a chess piece, and could even see the moment when Qingshan Sect would return to its peak.
"Huh, where is Master Yi?"
After passing through the front hall and arriving in the small courtyard behind, they did not find any trace of Yi Feng. Instead, Zhu Yun beside him was scared enough, pointing to the locust tree and stammering, "Master, look, look, it's the Heaven Swallowing Demon Wolf!"
Qingshan Patriarch glanced at the Heaven Swallowing Demon Wolf tied under the old locust tree and disdainfully said, "Is it necessary to be so startled?"
"Master, that's the Heaven Swallowing Demon Wolf!" Zhu Yun continued to exclaim.
"Look at you being like that."
Qingshan Patriarch glanced at Zhu Yun as if he were a country bumpkin.
It was just a Heaven Swallowing Demon Wolf. Last time when he came, the senior even almost used it to drink wine. What's the big deal?
Of course, he had completely forgotten that he was no better than Zhu Yun at that time.
"Sorry, I just went inside to cook some food. Please take a seat." At this time, Yi Feng walked out of the kitchen, and was still holding a kitchen knife in his hand.
Seeing this kitchen knife, Qingshan Patriarch, who was being polite just now, suddenly shuddered, his eyes fixed on the kitchen knife in Yi Feng's hand.
Zhu Yun, who was still in shock from the Heaven Swallowing Demon Wolf, had not yet recovered. When his gaze shifted over, his whole body reacted as if struck by lightning.
"Hiss!"
At this moment, he didn't know how to describe his mood. It was simply one wave after another.
In short, the shock brought by this kitchen knife was even greater than when he saw the Heaven Swallowing Demon Wolf.
For a time, both of them stared at the knife in Yi Feng's hand, while Qingshan Patriarch guessed what Yi Feng's intention was in suddenly taking out this knife.
Could it be?
Don't tell me?
Thinking of this, Qingshan Patriarch got excited all over, pacing back and forth. Especially seeing Yi Feng holding the kitchen knife walking towards them step by step, his breathing became more and more urgent.
