Chapter 581
Stir Behind the Storm
When Ao Wushuang showed up again with Su Chan and the others, she was at home, located on Shantang Street in Dongwu City. She stared at Su Chan, who was in a coma, with her face full of pity for a moment. She bent down gently and fiddled with the messy hair on Su Chan’s forehead, a complicated look in her eyes.
At this time, the man behind her stepped forward slightly and observed Li Yundong interestedly. Half of his face was exposed by the moonlight. It was Liu Ye, the former head of the Fox Zen School. He said, “What’s wrong? Chan’er finally has a chance to break through to being a Six-Tailed Fox Spirit. Aren’t you happy for her?”
Ao Wushuang tilted his face slightly and said in a cold voice, “What’s there to be happy about? I’d rather she be safe and sound for the rest of her life!”
Liu Ye snorted and said, “Safety… How can it be so easy! It’s an extravagant hope for us to be safe when we live in this world. Only by constantly getting stronger can we ensure true peace!”
Ao Wushuang said coldly, “Are you satisfied now? Li Yundong has finally got the Diyuan Jindan. Your plan can finally be implemented!”
Liu Ye didn’t comment or reply, just stared at Li Yundong for a long time. Then, he sighed softly and said, “Sometimes I envy this guy… He is young, smart, talented, and lucky to have all kinds of great opportunities! He has everything that a cultivator wants. You see, he has only cultivated for less than half a year, and he is about to break through to the Jinshen phase! Alas, such a speed of cultivation is really unprecedented!”
Ao Wushuang snorted and said, “Wang Chongyang of the Quanzhen Sect began the art of Cultivation at 48 years old, and he became a major cultivator in a year. What about him?”
Liu Ye said disapprovingly, “That’s because Lu Dongbin and Han Zhongli transformed him. It’s different.”
Ao Wushuang also looked at Li Yundong with some feelings showing in her eyes. More than half a year ago, this boy had been as weak as an ant in front of her, but now he was about to break through the most important bottleneck of a cultivator, the Jinshen phase!
Once Li Yundong broke through to the Jinshen phase, he would no longer be a match for him. His Mahamudra and various magic items would beat him in every way.
Ao Wushuang stared at Li Yundong, and a thought suddenly came to his mind. “Fortunately, this guy is not my enemy, nor the enemy of Fox Zen School. Otherwise, it would be a big problem for us!”
After looking at Li Yundong for a while, Ao Wushuang suddenly said, “Why didn’t you take action earlier? Aren’t you afraid that he won’t get the Diyuan Jindan? When that jinshen master appeared, I thought you had given up and didn’t intend to take action.”
Liu Ye laughed and said, “The monks from Xiyuan Temple and Jinshan Temple are stalking at me every day. Once I show up, they appear nearby. As long as I make a move, they will also definitely make a move! Besides… do you think that Xu Ling is the only jinshen master in the vicinity? I feel that there are no less than five jinshen masters near Tiandu Peak! However, these guys are all proud of themselves. They think that they are the only people who have made great achievements in the world. On the one hand, they disdain to steal, and on the other hand, they are afraid that they will be seized by others as soon as they make a move.”
Ao Wushuang sneered and said, “They are a group of hypocrites! If you want to rob them, you can do so directly! There is no need to worry about it! Li Yundong has done a good job in this respect, unlike these hypocrites who want to be whores while building a chastity memorial arch!”
Liu Ye snorted and said, “If he was really decisive, he would have taken the Diyuan Jindan and run away as soon as possible, so that I wouldn’t have to waste so much effort later!”
Ao Wushuang said coldly, “What if Chan’er comes after him once he leaves? You think she will do the same as you? Can she leave the people around her alone at any time?”
In the face of Ao Wushuang’s accusation, Liu Ye was not angry. Instead, he raised his brows and said, “How can a real man act so indecisively! However… this guy looks like a loyal and kind person, but he hasn’t put away the Diyuan Jindan deliberately. This is a sinister and vicious method, which has caused the cultivators of each sect to fight and completely mess up the situation. Huh, not bad!”
Ao Wushuang snorted and said, “Sh*t, you’re always scheming. Do you think that everyone in the whole world is plotting against others like you?”
Liu Ye snorted and said, “If I don’t plot against others, they will plot against me!”
Ao Wushuang sneered and said, “So you even scheme against your own people! Aren’t you afraid that something will go wrong? Why don’t you make a move sooner? What if Li Yundong is killed by Xu Ling?”
Liu Ye said disapprovingly, “The reincarnation of Wisdom King is not so easy to kill!”
When Ao Wushuang heard the words ‘reincarnation of Wisdom King’, she suddenly frowned and looked at Li Yundong with a complicated expression. After a long time, she suddenly asked, “When did you break through to Eight-tailed Cultivation? Eight-tailed Cultivation is equivalent to the primary Lightning Retribution phase. Why didn’t you directly take the Diyuan Jindan by yourself just now? Why did you waste so much effort?”
Liu Ye smiled and said meaningfully, “Do you think there was only me, a Lightning Retribution phase master, there?”
Ao Wushuang was shocked. “Were there other Lightning Retribution phase masters?”
Liu Ye sneered and said, “I noticed that there were at least three nearby!”
Ao Wushuang was shocked. “What? Three Lightning Retribution phase masters? Did three of them come? Why didn’t they make a move? Did they think too highly of themselves?”
Liu Ye laughed and said, “It’s a disaster to fight with Lightning Retribution phase masters! What’s more, they are so afraid of each other that they didn’t come with their real bodies. They were just peeping around with their apparitions.”
Ao Wushuang asked, “Do you know which three it was?”
Liu Ye thought for a moment and said seriously, “One of them is from the Quanzhen Sect. I can’t tell which sect he belongs to or which branch, but it seems that it’s not Quanzhen Dragon Sect. I feel that the aura of this Lightning Retribution phase master is very strange and unique. It must be a very remote sect, and the other two… seem to be from Zhengyi School.”
Ao Wushuang turned pale with fright. “Two of them belong to Zhengyi School? Since when did Zhengyi School have two Lightning Retribution phase masters?”
Liu Ye nodded, and there was vigilance in his eyes. “One of them seems to have the aura of Zhang Tianshī. No one can disguise such powerful Qi of Xuanmen Sect, and I can’t distinguish the other one!”
Ao Wushuang became more and more surprised. “Isn’t the head of Zhengyi School in the Jinshen phase? When did he break through to the Lightning Retribution phase?”
Liu Ye said disapprovingly, “Ever since Wang Yuanshan betrayed Zhengyi School, Zhang Tianshī has been in seclusion. When he began, he was already at the highest level of the Jinshen phase, the Imperishable Jinshen phase! It has been almost ten years. Is it rare for him to break through from the Imperishable Jinshen phase to the Lightning Retribution phase?”
Ao Wushuang thought for a moment and suddenly felt relieved. She thought to herself, “The old fox Liu Ye could have broken through from Seven-Tailed Fox to Eight-Tailed Earth Fox in the past nine years, let alone the head of Zhengyi School.”
At this time, Ao Wushuang sighed with emotion and said, “When Renyuan Jindan came out, I felt that the cultivation world had been turned into a bloody mess by this Renyuan Jindan. All the sects seemed to have woken up from hibernation in an instant. Now it seems that the real storm is still behind us! How many people will die this time…”
Liu Ye sneered and said, “How am I going to implement my plan if they don’t die?”
Ao Wushuang was silent for a long time. She thought of Su Chan again and said in a cold voice, “I’ll say it again for the last time. I’ll do what you ask me to do. But if you dare to drag Chan’er in, you’ll die with me!”
Liu Ye laughed and said, “As long as you do as I say, I promise that she will be fine! Humph, when the Sacred Fox appears, we’ll see how powerful those sects will be!”
As he said this, he smiled proudly and said, “Li Yundong got a blessing because of his misfortune. I didn’t expect that they would get the hook so easily with three Diyuan Jindan. Even I hadn’t expected that the Diyuan Jindan could be taken like this! How wonderful it is! Now, as long as he is given some time, the strength of the Fox Zen School will be greatly increased, and my plan will be further improved, haha!”
At this moment, Ao Wushuang’s gaze landed on the unconscious Kris. She suddenly said, “What about this foreigner? She seems to have also absorbed some divine aura of elixir!”
Liu Ye’s eyes flashed and he said with a smile, “This foreigner is really lucky to have been able to absorb divine aura of elixir! Haha, it’s really fortuitous!”
Ao Wushuang had also heard Su Chan talk about how Kris had chased after Li Yundong and wanted to be his disciple. She asked, “Do you think Li Yundong will accept her as his disciple?”
Liu Ye snorted and sneered scornfully, “Does she deserve it? When they were still gestating, our ancestors had already begun to cultivate! When they were still learning to read, Fu Xi had already created the Book of Changes! The things written five thousand years ago have not been understood by these foreigners even now. Do you expect them to understand cultivation? Are you kidding? Can they understand Canon of the Yellow Thearch? Can they understand the Qi and Blood Meridian?”
However, Ao Wushuang shook her head and said, “That’s not the case. Su Chan once talked to me that there seemed to be a part of the girl’s bloodline that’s Chinese, and she’s very eager to learn Chinese culture.”
Liu Ye sneered and said, “If I were Li Yundong, I wouldn’t accept this foreigner as my disciple. In the five thousand years in the Chinese cultivation world, no one has broken this rule!”
However, Ao Wushuang sneered and said, “Really? I heard that many sects developed their own believers abroad, and there is even a saying that masters are abroad in the cultivation world?”
Liu Ye said disapprovingly, “Humph, the blessed place of culture is in the Central Plains Continent. If there are no masters there, where can masters be? In those remote places, what masters can be there?”
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly frowned and looked out of the window. He said in a deep voice, “The monks from Xiyuan Temple and Jinshan Temple have caught up again. I’m leaving now. You can cast a protective spell on them later. This is a downtown area. I believe these cultivators won’t dare to act recklessly.”
After that, he flashed and disappeared in an instant.
At this time, on Mount Wuhua in the distance, Zheng Yuan and Ding Nan had returned to their cave residences. The captured Alba also appeared next to them.
Alba looked around in horror and despair. The leader of the cheerleading team from the University of Pennsylvania didn’t know what kind of fate would be waiting for her at all.
Even Ding Nan herself did not know what kind of change she would face after the battle at Tiandu Peak.
