body, his complexion became increasingly pale.Even so, his face was still filled with determination. His fingers darted out incessantly, as if it had become second nature, never pausing for a moment.....Above the peak, a fiery red sword hung suspended. On the blade stood a young man in blue robes. Although his appearance was unremarkable, his eyes radiated killing intent that pierced the heavens. He stared expressionlessly at the small hut where Jiang Yun resided.
Whether it was the sword or the man, they were both too eye-catching. Moreover, the man's voice was extremely loud, instantly startling many people within the Wen Dao Sect. Even some elders and peak masters cast their divine senses here.
And when they saw the man in blue, they immediately knew what was going on. However, even though they understood, they all remained silent and no one spoke.
Inside a cave dwelling halfway up Mount Baishou, Elder Sha Jingshan looked at Lu Xiaoyu, who was meditating beside him with his eyes closed. A hint of hesitation appeared on the old man's face, etched with wrinkles, but he ultimately sighed soundlessly and continued to observe Zangfeng with his divine sense.
Below the peak, countless figures gathered swiftly. Among them were handyman disciples and outer sect disciples. Although they dared not ascend the peak, it was not very high, so they could clearly see the situation at the summit.
Soon, one by one, the disciples recognized the identity of the young man in blue. Gasps of surprise erupted from their mouths.
"Isn't that Zheng Yuanshixiong How did he get to Zangfeng to cause trouble for Jiangyun"
Zheng Yuan is an inner disciple of the Kendo Peak. Why do you think he would go out of his way to trouble Jiang Yun
But, he actually dared to climb Mount Cang
There's a rule within the sect that even Ginger Cloud isn't aware of. It concerns all disciples who have been promoted to the outer sect. Once they are promoted, their respective peak master elders will inform them that under no circumstances should they step onto Zang Peak without permission.
Therefore, some disciples who knew this rule saw Zheng Yuan daringly riding a sword and standing proudly atop Zangfeng Peak, publicly demanding that Jiang Yun come out. They couldn't help but be astonished by Zheng Yuan's audacity.
But they soon got over it. Zheng Yuan's trouble with Jiang Yun must have been for Fang Yu Xuan, and it was even very likely that he was instigated by the headmaster of Jian Dao Feng, Wei Zheng Yang.
Wei Zhengyang's protectiveness was well-known within the Wudao Sect. Back then, since Jiang Yun had provoked Fang YuXuan and even given him a taste of his own medicine, as Fang YuXuan's master, he certainly wouldn't let Jiang Yun off so easily.
He was the only one who wasn't willing to come forward, so he asked Zheng Yuan, a disciple from the inner sect, to do it instead. Even if Zheng Yuan really broke the rules and angered the headmaster, it wouldn't be a big deal. He would just push all the responsibility onto Zheng Yuan and let him take the punishment.
This is the first release of the YQ version
This was indeed Wei Zhengyang's plan, and in fact, Zheng Yuan had come to Zangfeng several times during these three months. However, Jiang Yun remained inside the trapped beast forest all along.
Having no other choice, Zheng Yuan could only find a handyman disciple and have him guard under Cang Feng. He instructed the disciple to notify him immediately upon seeing Jiang Yun's return.
Actually, Zheng Yuan could have waited for Jiang Yun under Mount Cangfeng, or even outside the gate of Wudao Sect. But he deliberately chose to wait until Jiang Yun returned to Mount Cangfeng before approaching him. This was naturally to emphasize his own importance!
Don't look at Zheng Yuan, despite being an inner disciple and a genuine cultivator of the first level of Fudi, even having a small reputation. Within Jian Dao Peak, with Fang Yu Xuan's dazzling existence, there was simply no chance for him to shine.
Therefore, after receiving Wei Zhengyang's order, Zheng Yuan immediately realized this was a great opportunity for him. So he decided not only to teach Jiang Yun a good lesson, but also to make sure everyone saw it and remembered it well!
Jian Dao Feng, there's not only Fang Yu Xuan, but also his Zheng Yuan!
As for Jiang Yun, a mere Qi-Pulse Triple Realm errand boy, relying solely on his brute strength, he was not even worth considering.
The only thing that made him hesitate was whether Jiang Yun still had the kind of talisman that had forced Fang Yu'hen back in the first place. After Wei Zhengyang gave him a positive answer, he felt no burden at all.
At this moment, Zheng Yun could hear every divine sense that swept over him and every gasp of astonishment from his disciples. Although his face remained impassive, a surge of satisfaction welled up within him.
This is exactly the effect he wanted!
Just imagine, in front of so many people, not only openly disregarding the rules of stepping into Cangfeng, but even beating up Jiang Yun who is on Cangfeng. Such an act would be enough to make Zheng Yuan's name resound throughout the entire Wenda Sect.
"Jiang Yun, I'll give you three breaths of time. If you don't come out, don't blame me for smashing your hut to pieces!"
As Zheng Yuan's voice faded, the door of the hut finally creaked open. Jiang Yun, his face pale, emerged at an agonizingly slow pace, taking almost every step with difficulty.
This, to most people, including Zheng Yuan, seemed as though Jiang Yun was scared pale and had to come out despite himself, hence his demeanor.
They didn't know that Jiang Yun was indeed frightened, but not by Zheng Yuan. He was frightened by the surging tide within him.
Now every movement he made intensified the impact of the torrent, increasing the pain within him by a fraction. That's why he moved so slowly.
Finally standing in the courtyard, Jiang Yun looked up at Zheng Yuan who was suspended in mid-air. Although his face remained expressionless, if one looked closely, they would find a hint of joy in the depths of Jiang Yun's eyes.
Although Ginger Cloud didn't know Zheng Yuan's identity, looking at the other party's long sword beneath their feet and standing in mid-air, it wasn't hard to guess that they were an inner disciple from the Sword Dao Peak.
And this, was already within Jiang Yun's expectations, so he wasn't alarmed at all. He was even silently thankful in his heart that Zheng Yuan had appeared at this time.
How could Zheng Yuan possibly know Jiang Yun's thoughts Because he wasn't there for Xiao Bi recently, this was his first time meeting Jiang Yun.
Looking down at Jiang Yun, especially seeing the animal skin he was wearing, Zheng Yuan's face flashed with a hint of mockery. He couldn't help but laugh in his heart: "Fang YuXuan, Fang YuXuan, as the number one disciple of the inner sect, you were actually defeated by this wild kid who ignited a talisman and ran away. It is indeed disgraceful!"
Although he thought this in his heart, Zheng Yuan's mouth was still coldly saying: "Finally came out!"
As soon as his words fell, Zheng Yuan suddenly raised his hand and pressed it towards Jiang Yun in the air, "Kneel down for me first!"
"Whoosh!"
Suddenly, a phantom hand the size of a millstone appeared, majestic and powerful, descending from the sky and landing directly on Jiang Yun's body. The impact caused even Zangfeng Mountain to tremble slightly.
Although Zheng Yuan didn't have a good impression of Fang Yuxuan either, he was here for his own fame this time, so naturally he had to do everything in his power to insult and torment Jiang Yun. This way, he would fulfill Wei Zhengyang's request, get even with Fang Yuxuan, and at the same time showcase his own strength.
In everyone's estimation, Zheng Yuan's palm strike would be enough for Jiang Yun to kneel effortlessly. After all, he was at the Fudi realm of cultivation, while Jiang Yun was only at the Tongmai Triple Realm.
However, to everyone's surprise, as the illusory palm slammed down, Jiang Yun's body did tremble violently and his knee did bend slightly, but in an instant he straightened his body again, not kneeling at all.
Zheng Yuan was also slightly surprised, although he had already heard that Jiang Yun's physical body was strong and highly likely to be a body cultivator, he didn't expect the other party to be able to take his palm strike head-on.
"Sure enough, tough hide!" Zheng Yuan quickly suppressed his surprise and sneered coldly, "But since I told you to kneel, you must kneel!"
"Boom!"
Zheng Yuan unleashed another palm strike, and this time, he poured all the power of a Fortunate Lands cultivator into it.
Even though Zheng Yuan wasn't skilled in physical combat, the Fudi realm was still a whole level higher than the Tongmai realm. This meant that the gap in their strength was insurmountable.
Then, with all his strength behind that palm strike, not to mention he always believed Jiang Yun was at the third level of Tongmai, even if Jiang Yun was at the ninth level, he definitely wouldn't be able to withstand it.
"Boom!"
The illusory giant hand slammed onto Jiang Yun's body once more, the sound this time even more earth-shattering, echoing throughout the entire Wudao Sect.
Naturally, instantly more divine consciousnesses came from all directions and fell upon Mount Cang.
"Hey!"
A gasp echoed from afar, and a look of astonishment suddenly flashed across Zheng Yuan's impassive face.
On the top of the mountain peak, Jiang Yun, though his face was pale and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, his body still stood straight. His eyes, gleaming with ferocity, stared fixedly at Zheng Yuan, saying word by word: "You, dare you use more force!" him.Since the appearance of this light curtain, Hai Qingfeng's expression immediately relaxed, indicating that he had immense confidence in it."Bai Ze, can you tell what this barrier is for""It's not...
