Imperial Treasure-Chapter 977 - 586: The Dao Knows No Boundaries...What? (Part 2)
This statement is quite impolite.
Many female cultivators agree with this; this foreign Gold Silk Cat indeed used seduction... No, Senior Brother Chu is certainly not someone easily seduced.
Natasha did not speak but leisurely watched Frank, while Chu Ziyu gently said, "Mr. Frank misunderstood. Natasha and I were classmates in our youth and have been friends for many years. She came to participate in the Mount Hua Swordsmanship Conference at my sincere invitation, and for no other untold reason."
Having said this, Frank had nothing more to add. He just cast Chu Ziyu a deep look, saying, "Then, Young Master Chu should understand that some women are enchantresses that, if a man can’t conquer, he’ll fall into an abyss he can’t climb out of... Good luck!"
He even winked.
Chu Ziyu: "...."
Chu Ziyu is an official person, and his arrival made the atmosphere livelier until Wu Xie arrived.
Without taking a single step on the stairs, the room quieted with each step he took.
Soon, there was complete silence.
Wu Xie walked to the right side.
But had yet to sit down.
He suddenly paused, looked back.
From below came the sound of footsteps, clear and deep, as people soon saw the person’s face.
A face that wasn’t too handsome but certainly not ugly, fair, and delicate, wearing a refined white outfit.
As he arrived, Chu Ziyu smiled slightly, "Brother Liew."
"Jianghu, Jianghu; on the river, the white-clad Liew; on the lake, the wandering Wu Xie. Liew Baiyi and Wu Xie are the two most formidable mysterious figures in the past decade. No one knows where they come from; they are both loose cultivators, but their strength is terrifying, and their actions are always unpredictable. However, Liew Baiyi is better than Wu Xie in that his demeanor is more gentle, and he has wide-ranging social interactions, closely allied with Mountain Hua."
Liew Baiyi, indeed, unlike the expressionless Wu Xie, smiled warmly, along with Chu Ziyu, appearing as a genteel person of the Wei-Jin style, making the present female cultivators swoon uncontrollably.
But they seemed to fancy the confrontation between Liew Baiyi and Wu Xie more.
One from the north, one from the south, always a contest.
Earlier, didn’t Wu Xie turn back upon hearing Liew Baiyi’s footsteps?
Flower Demon: To recognize footsteps, that’s absolutely true love.
Gong Jiu: What on earth is in your brain? But it does seem a bit...
"Wu Xie, every year at Mount Hua, it’s already been ten years."
Yes, ten years now, you and I meet at Mount Hua, Flower Demon echoed internally.
"I feel so moved," she tugged Sui Yi’s sleeve to wipe her eyes.
Sui Yi: "..."
Wu Xie gave him a cold glance and then sat down.
Liew Baiyi smiled faintly and also sat down.
The guests on both sides were almost complete.
To the left, the Extreme Path Alliance had four pavilion masters, sitting by Luozong.
Like four mountains, with noble clans lining up.
Sui Yi reckoned the Old Wizard probably mingled in.
Or maybe among them on their side.
But the Martial Arts Alliance on the right seemed more relaxed, noisy, inconsistent like an odd mix.
This is the distinction between noble clans and the common folk.
The noble clans and sect persons were quite disdainful of this, their contemptuous glances widespread.
Until...
The Luozong members suddenly turned toward the east.
That was a place shrouded in cloud mist.
Faintly, there were birds flying over...
A flock of birds.
Quite majestic.
"Someone among the birds."
Sui Yi’s light remark made Gong Jiu, Flower Demon, Brother Ma, and Han Gao burst out.
Sui Yi: "..."
What are you laughing at?
What is wrong?
Many people looked over, Natasha’s gaze, in particular, seemed amused.
Even Yhan Qingwu and Ye Zixu didn’t quite understand if there was something wrong with Sui Yi’s words?
It was obvious there was indeed someone among the birds; that silhouette...
Sui Yi didn’t understand either, tilting his head, as Mumu explained dully: "It’s just that there’s someone... among the birds."
Pff!
Lang Lifan burst out laughing, mockingly said: "Oh dear, these birds, there’s indeed someone among them, we men..."
Sui Yi put down his cup, looking at him.
"Uh, we men really should say some people shouldn’t have such filthy thoughts!"
Lang Lifan abruptly reined in, internally muttering how fierce Sui Yi and his group are one after the other.
Might as well forget about Yi, but how could even the most refined Sui Yi...
Crash!
The flock of birds landed on the platform, scattered, revealing a single person, with celestial grace and a tall frame.
His white hair fluttering in the wind, his eyes carrying the vicissitudes of life.
"Mountain Master"
This is the Mount Hua Mountain Chief?
Sui Yi, like the others, rose, as the Mountain Master gently stroked his white beard and said, "Welcome to the 208 martial artists who came to participate in this year’s Mount Hua Swordsmanship Conference. As you know, some major events have occurred domestically and abroad, causing unrest in our martial paths. Thus, entering the Mount Hua Swordsmanship Conference isn’t just about martial arts, but also about ’dao,’ so I invited some people here to discuss with us."
He turned to look towards the cloud ladder below.
People were coming up.
Just three.
Ming Lanyuan and Yi Chilian were familiar faces, but ahead was one person.
Commander of the Imperial Guards, Meng Fang.
People from the Imperial Guards.
Only the Imperial Guards have the power to mediate both light and darkness, right?
But not necessarily, because just after Meng Fang stepped onto the platform.
"What an apt saying for the Mount Hua Swordsmanship Conference, it’s not just about swords, but the way of ’dao’."
"Then, is ’dao’ indiscriminate of domestic and foreign, whether Buddha’s mercy could be bestowed on those of us beyond redemption?"
This voice wasn’t from Meng Fang.
Sui Yi squinted his eyes; the disciples had arrived.
"It’s the Gate!"
"How did they get in!"
"This is bad, the Gate and Imperial Guards have always..."
Mount Hua Swordsmanship Conference is a martial debate meeting. If two extremely powerful opposing forces intervene, it would easily derail its original intention.
Just when everyone felt uneasy, as the Mountain Hua Mountain Chief stood with hands folded under the abdomen, with a deep gaze...
"If ’dao’ does not discriminate between domestic and foreign, does it have to differentiate between right and wrong?"
Very well, the third party has arrived!(To be continued. If you enjoy this work, please visit Qidian（qidian.com） to vote for recommendations or monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read at m.qidian.com.)
