Rebirth of the Peak Young Master-Chapter 1136: Duanmai Mountain
Qin Lei's heart began to beat violently.
Ye Fengsheng has lost his composure!
This is a bolt from the blue for him! His spirit became clearer because of the spiritual power.
As he watched Ye Fengsheng's distant figure, a hint of murderous intent emerged in his eyes.
Who isn't proud!? Who would willingly become an eagle dog under someone else's command? Ordinary people wouldn't do this, let alone Qin Lei, who is the disciple of Duanmai Mountain's Law Enforcement Elder. He revered the monk of the Jiedan Realm!
This place is remote, the night is pitch-black, windy, with no moon, no stars. It's a perfect place for murder. Just now, Ye Fengsheng was both frightened and fearful. His words reflected the outside world! In essence, he has no composure! Indeed, he is the legacy of ancient people. At this time, when people are still in the dark, kill him, kill everyone who knows about this, and express their anger to eliminate future troubles. Isn't it joyful?
Why follow Ye Fengsheng's orders and be the sharp sword in his hand to fight Gu Zhen to the death? When Skyfire Sect was destroyed, would this sentence still linger in his mind? Isn't it just counting on his own Qin Lei, relying on his own Duanmai Mountain?
Do not doubt the person, do not doubt using people. Ye Fengsheng's voice had no trust, so he intentionally brought out Ying Luo. Of course, this time, he can ask Ying Luo, who is given "freedom" in the sense of free, without any cost. Only Qiu Juan could have Ying Luo accompany Ye Fengsheng on the journey.
Thus, it seemed that only Ye Fengsheng and Qin Lei were present. In fact, Ying Luo has been changing positions continuously, closely monitoring them.
In fact, bringing Ying Luo to clear an ancient shock would be enough. However, Duanmai Mountain's issue has not been resolved. Ye Fengsheng couldn't be at ease. He simply asked Qin Lei to do the job and turned it into a condition of exemption from punishment. In this way, Duanmai Mountain relaxed and no longer needs to think about these matters.
As for the Fourteen States, they are assassins, never losing money in business deals. Because the name of the killing order is their own, they will not senselessly stir others.
Skyfire Sect is located in the expanses of mountains stretching thousands of miles west of Jianghai City. The towering Cloud Tower has stood for 300 years, rising higher while perched on the mountain's peak. The tower top directly pierces the clouds as if suspended in the air, evoking reverence from the beholder.
In the past three hundred years, the blood of countless individuals stained the historical marks on the tower, splattering into numerous dried and mottled traces. Only the tower top maintained its original cleanliness.
It is said that the height is too cold, but this is not all. In the spacious room at the top, a group of monks wearing robes gathered here. The youngest among them was only about 23 or 24 years old, with a handsome face and youthful heroism. The oldest, with a full head of silver hair, dry skin, akin to aged tangerine peel, was very elderly.
But whether young or old, there were some spiritual fluctuations surrounding them. At a glance, one could see they were monks of strong caliber.
In the first seat, the individual reclined against the white wide chair back, their black and white eyes casually scanning the crowd gathered below, a faint killing aura between their eyebrows.
Like a king, overlooking his subjects, contemplating who should be killed and who shouldn't.
If it's not Gu Zhen, who's it?
"Zhang Jiao, our sect's legacy is buried in Jianghai. You should go with Wang to find it. How can you stay alone?"
His gaze fell on the elderly man with a full head of silver hair, who opened his mouth. Gu Zhen knew this was Elder Zong Xue, who had long strayed. He secretly collaborated with many subordinates and criticized the sect's actions in various ways. Now, Wang Changlao remains silent, possibly in a dilemma.
"Alright! The young lord responsible for the teachings has died. You should go with Wang to find the murderer. Not only did you not avenge Xiao Jun, but doesn't even Master Wang know?"
Another elder opened his mouth. Gu Zhen glanced at him, knowing he has significant relations with Wang. He fears those plotting to kill his child along with outsiders.
"Zhang Jiao, when you called us here, why haven't you spoken a word? Didn't you say there was something important to announce?"
"…"
One sentence, bringing forth all doubts, some anger, some malice, some loyalty as over a dozen people came forth like a bustling market, noisy and chaotic.
Patiently listening to the debate of the people below, observing their expressions. After a while, Gu Zhen waved his hand: "Enough."
Immediately, there was silence!
No matter what mindset people held, they closed their mouths under the sound of the ancient shock.
After all, the current leader is Gu Zhen. He can use these rules to criticize and even fire him. But if one does not listen to the leader, the teachings from the great head Al-leader will constitute a severe offense!
"Today, I brought you here to announce a big matter."
Mouth agape, Gu Zhen still leaned loosely against the chair back, hesitant to announce the matter: "Xue Lao, come over."
Xue Da was confused, but thought no more, stepping forward and bowing to Gu Zhen.
"Xue Lao, I'm old; my son is lost. This time in Jianghai, I suffered some concealed ailments. I don't know when they'll recur. It's hard to tell when I may die. I'm no longer Master Zhang. Hence, today I wish to give you a seat. Do you want it?"
Not only was shocked by his stature, but also by Xue's elderly face. Everyone present in the hall exchanged glances, seemingly incredulous. They pondered the ancient shock.
After a while, the hall erupted once again into noise and bickering, but this time Gu Zhen did not intervene.
"Master, no! You are the root of our Skyfire Sect. Without you, our Skyfire will extinguish.
When Ye Fengsheng or Qin Lei stood calmly at the base of the tower, there was no sense of insignificance from the common sight of the tower.
Qin Lei had just displayed Duanmai Mountain's brocade, receiving immense respect from the guards below the tower and the disciples of Skyfire Sect towards Qin Lei and Ye Fengsheng.
Wherever the eyes reached, the eyes of Yigan people were filled with envy and jealousy towards Qin Lei as a disciple of Duanmai Mountain. From Building No. 1 to Building No. 7, there was no one in Jiegu Town!
At this moment, even Ye Fengsheng found it somewhat incredible. Wasn't today's Fire Sect too terrifying? Why aren't the disciples proud of their sect but instead envy the disciples of other major sects?
"Inherited lord, is Gu Zhen heavily injured?"
Qin Lei didn't have many thoughts. He hadn't spoken much along the way. Now, as he was about to meet Gu Zhen, he couldn't resist feeling timid inwardly. He whispered: "He has been in the Jiedan Realm for decades, his power greatly surpassing mine. If his strength is as robust as before, then both you and I are truly fortunate today!"
"Do whatever you choose to do."
Ye Fengsheng said indifferently: "Victory or defeat, I will not be responsible for all you do to me!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Lei's heart finally eased completely. After all, everyone is in the Core Formation realm, yet he can always escape. Even if he wishes to leave with Ye Fengsheng, Gu Zhen cannot hold him.
"Brother Qin, Young Master Zhang, please come inside the tower to meet me."
The disciples of Skyfire Sect respectfully bowed to Ye Fengsheng and Qin Lei in front of them: "Please follow me."
Ye Fengsheng's voice was silent but motionless.
As he didn't move, Qin Lei dared not move, leaving the disciples in front looking at them strangely.
"Quick battle."
Leaving a phrase behind, Ye Fengsheng headed into the shadows of the next tower, leaving Qin Lei a bit embarrassed.
He too would prefer an after-meeting sneak attack, allowing him to gain more victory, albeit he never assumed Ye Fengsheng intended to fight here. It seemed such an act was a bit too arrogant...
