The Most Powerful Bodyguard
Chapter 1124: The Hundred Spirits’ Ever-Successful Technique
Indeed, after returning, Gu Sheng respectfully said:
"Young master, the one outside is a disciple of the Law Enforcement Hall. They said Elder Mad Sword wants to see Master Brother."
Upon hearing this, Lin Zimu’s face showed a moment of embarrassment, followed by a sigh of regret:
"So it’s my master who wants to see me. Alas, not only did I fail to bring glory to him, I ended up making him lose face."
Saying this, he stood up and cupped his hands to Yang Yan:
"Yang, if that’s the case, I’ll go see my master."
Yang Yan smiled and said, "Hurry along, then! Your injuries should have mostly healed by now, right? Gu Sheng, see Master Brother off."
"Yes."
Gu Sheng responded.
Lin Zimu laughed heartily:
"Thanks to the sect’s Three Lives Pill, the healing effect is excellent. Yang, farewell!"
The battle between Lin Zimu and Ban Deming, watched by many Outer Sect disciples, quickly spread out as news.
The result of this battle was the defeat of Lin Zimu, the Inner Sect Master Brother of the Ancient Abyss Sect.
Some were pleased, and some were worried.
The Sword Sect disciples were pleased, while naturally, the Ancient Abyss Sect disciples were worried.
At this time, a rumor gradually started to spread.
Because Ban Deming had consecutively defeated the top disciples of ten major sects, he subtly became the leading figure among the younger generation on Wandering Dragon Star.
Many were spreading the rumor that the Sword Sect was the number one sect, and Ban Deming was the number one among the younger generation!
Of course, not everyone agreed.
Among them, the disciples of the Sword Sect were the ones dissatisfied.
Though they did not explicitly say it, they merely mentioned that within the Sword Sect, there are individuals more capable than the Master Brother, and then they remained silent.
At this moment, the news about Lin Zimu of the Ancient Abyss Sect being defeated by Ban Deming had not affected a certain Little Witch.
On the main mountain of the Ancient Abyss Sect, atop the ancient mountain, behind the main hall of the Ancient Abyss Sect, Sect Leader Lin An was stopped by someone.
"Guo’er, what kind of mischief are you up to again?"
Sect Leader Lin, who was engaging in a lively conversation with several sect leaders, had the stern expression on his face vanish upon seeing Guo Guoguo.
Guo Guoguo appeared very upset, her mouth turned up so high it seemed like it could hang a dragging oil bottle.
"You let down my mother, and you’ve let me down too!"
The little girl’s words instantly left Sect Leader Lin speechless.
The other sect leaders around wore peculiar expressions.
However, they soon smiled kindly.
The several leaders knowingly greeted Sect Leader Lin, allowing him to handle family matters first.
Even though Sect Leader Lin had lived for several centuries, with his cultivation having long reached the level of Golden Core Great Power, he still found himself on the weaker side when facing Guo Guoguo.
"Guo’er, is it that some disciple doesn’t meet your expectations again?"
Sect Leader Lin asked, somewhat headache-ridden.
He had only one true love in his life, but because of certain events, he wronged her.
This led his daughter, once she became sensible, to refuse to take his surname, and instead, she took her mother’s surname.
She even named herself Guoguo of her own accord.
Feeling guilt, Sect Leader Lin allowed her to have her way.
After Guo Guoguo embarked on the path of cultivation, she frequently stirred up chaos within the Ancient Abyss Sect.
Many disciples knew of her identity but could only watch helplessly, always giving in to her.
However, the moniker "Little Witch" had already reached Sect Leader Lin’s ears.
This time, Sect Leader Lin thought Guo Guoguo was once again here to report about some Inner Sect or Core Disciple.
"Saint Son Yang Yan misunderstands good intentions. He has a prejudice against your daughter!"
Guo Guoguo said angrily.
Upon hearing Yang Yan being mentioned, Sect Leader Lin felt immediately worried.
Currently, Yang Yan was of equal rank to him!
"Guoguo, explain carefully, what did Yang Yan... do? You should be calling him Master Ancestor."
Sect Leader Lin said awkwardly.
"Master Ancestor my foot! I won’t call him that! Humph! He... he even calls me Junior Sister!"
"In any case, I don’t care. Father, I want you to issue an edict, let him move into Hundred Spirits Palace!"
Sect Leader Lin looked at her curiously:
"Hundred Spirits Palace? Live together with you?!"
Could it be that Guo Guoguo has changed her target, no longer troubling the disciples within the sect, and started to target the Saint Son?
This really was difficult to assess whether it was a good or a bad thing.
Hearing her father understand it as wanting Yang Yan to live with her, Guo Guoguo blushed and said bashfully:
"Then... then let him move Butcher Palace next to me! What’s the point of a Master Ancestor living with several Inner Sect disciples?"
Alright then!
This little devil has even figured out where Yang Yan lives.
Even if Sect Leader Lin was dense, he understood his daughter’s intentions.
However, speaking of this, if his Guoguo could be with Yang Yan, wouldn’t it be all benefits and no harm to the Ancient Abyss Sect?
Sect Leader Lin pondered for a moment, then smiled at Guo Guoguo:
"So being neighbors makes it right?"
Guo Guoguo’s face reddened, becoming fiery hot.
She hurriedly stomped her foot and shouted:
"I don’t care, I don’t care! You’ve let down my mother! You’ve also let down me!"
Sect Leader Lin’s face turned dark as he turned and walked away.
This little devil, can’t she phrase it differently!
However, as he was leaving, he paused, turned his head, and left a remark: "I have to consult Uncle Master Zongming about this."
Guo Guoguo grinned foolishly behind him.
This trick has indeed never failed.
It’s even more effective than any kind of magic, directly settles even a Golden Core Great Power.
Yang Yan, still sipping tea in Butcher Palace, slightly wrinkled his nose, and his heart started beating faster.
Why is there a feeling of impending doom?
Could it be due to the sect comparison happening tomorrow...
Yang Yan pondered carefully, but was left without any clues.
Forget it, forget it!
Now is not the time for leisure.
Might as well continue gaining insight into that newly learned intermediate Daoist technique of Foundation Establishment Stage!
Time flew by.
The next day, under the clear sky, a solitary crane ascended among the clouds, and the lazy, gentle sunlight bathed the earth.
White mist floated around the various towering peaks of the Ancient Abyss Sect, whilst the wind gently blew, causing ripples in the blue pools, like a fairytale realm.
This time, the minor comparisons between disciples of various sects took place in the vast Qinghua Garden on the ancient mountain.
Within it, surrounded by artificial hills, the largest area in the center featured a uniquely spectacular pool of green water, named Taihua Pool.
The pool was teeming with various colorful fish, and from time to time, celestial cranes would descend from the sky and stand gracefully on lotus leaves.
Raising their small heads to look at the people coming and going around, they seemed to wonder what these people were doing?
"Hey! These celestial cranes look quite tasty, how about catching them and roasting them in the back mountain!"
A disciple stepping on water, dressed in green, deliberately laughed out loud.
The crane, already possessing intelligence, flapped its wings upon hearing this, and swiftly flew away.
At this moment, another disciple stepped on water, and the two of them simultaneously climbed onto a platform.
This platform was several tens of meters in length and width, although large, it was still small compared to the vast Taihua Pool.
There were as many as nine other similar platforms around, altogether forming ten.
Originally Taihua Pool naturally didn’t have these, they were created overnight through the Immortal Daoist Techniques of the Ancient Abyss Sect.
