Chapter 1078: Chapter 1078 Taqing Lu Wanfeng

The Crimson Pheonix disciples quoted Hei Luan’s name to Baili and mentioned what consequences You Longzi met with after doing the same thing. If he still insists on taking action, Hei Luan would have a reason to strike back—You really don’t take me seriously, do you.

Baili is in charge of procurement for the Yinsha Sect and uses his brain far more often than his fists. Realizing that things were amiss, he made a snap decision to leave, to avoid further humiliation.

At this moment, how far away Master Hei Luan was from here was no longer important to him.

After his provocation failed and he was threatened, Baili was extremely frustrated. Standing at the mountain gate, he shouted with great aura, "Mountain Master Feng, I have waited for so long, yet you refuse to meet me. Don’t force me to storm in!"

This is an outright, using power to pressure people, known as a direct strategy on Earth Realm—I am willing to follow your rules, but if you don’t respect me, I will not respect you either.

Others might not dare to be so overbearing, but as one of the Four Great Sects, the Yinsha Sect has the right to speak in such a manner.

As soon as he said this, silence fell all around, and bystanders were startled by Baili’s imposing manner.

Especially a few "tour guides" making small change at the mountain gate, who felt weak in the knees and nearly collapsed out of fright.

For cultivators of the major powers, being a bit further away meant they were not too affected, but no one expected them to step in and mediate, as the dispute between Baili of the Yinsha Sect and Mount Zhige was not something others should wade into lightly.

Even Luo Shuchen, who was at the Tianxin Platform, could not comment upon witnessing this scene.

The grievances between cultivators involve too many things. Let alone the fact that Feng Jun did not accept the offer from Tianxin Platform, even if he had become a Guest Elder, Luo Shuchen intervening under such circumstances would be somewhat reluctant—It’s not easy to find an excuse.

All around, there was dead silence; not even the horses dared to make a sound.

Just then, from behind Baili came a cold snort, "Eh, when did this place become Yinsha’s territory?"

Everyone turned to look and saw a young man in blue approaching from afar. His strides were not large, nor was his pace swift, yet he moved with incredible speed, giving off an eerily eerie impression.

Baili, who had turned around with a cold expression, now wore a much more pleasant look, "So it turns out to be Wanhuan technique of Taiqing. May I inquire if you are a disciple of Master Sumiao or Master Xiumu?"

While relations between the Yinsha Sect and Crimson Pheonix Sect are quite tense, their relations with other sects are generally fine. Especially the Taiqing Sect, which is known to pursue peace and non-contention and holds immense power. Except for their rivalry with the Qinggang Sect, they are quite friendly with the other two sects.

Although Baili also has that cold Yinsha vibe, his duties involve procurement, so a businessman cannot always keep others at arm’s length. Most of the time, he doesn’t quite fit the mold of a Yinsha disciple.

Before you could blink, the young man had already reached the mountain gate. He replied in a deep voice, "My fellow Yinsha cultivator, let us not exchange names for now. First, I would like to ask... Why are you doing this to Mount Zhige? You don’t seem like someone who lacks manners."

Indeed, Taiqing Sect is this talkative, Baili quietly judged in his mind, though his face still bore a smile, "It’s not that my Yinsha Sect wants to bully anyone, but this matter is truly infuriating..."

Since they were both from the Four Great Sects, he wasn’t afraid to share his grievances and eventually ask, "...My Yinsha Sect has its own standards. Should we be at the mercy of some minor Loose Cultivator? Under such circumstances, can your honorable Taiqing Sect accept this?"

The young man in blue frowned slightly and asked with a smile, "I’m not too familiar with the operations of your sect, so why... didn’t you invite You Longzi to clarify things?"

If You Longzi came over, things would become even less clear! Baili was very aware of this.

He could guess that in this affair, You Longzi must have his own stake—Even if there were no direct benefits involved, this kind of bypassing action would not give that scoundrel any pleasure.

Such internal minor disputes of a sect, once exposed to others, would amount to a scandal, wouldn’t they?

So he lightly coughed, "This matter is an internal affair of my Yinsha Sect and need not concern a High Disciple of Taiqing."

The young man in blue raised his eyebrows slightly, "My fellow daoist, by saying this..."

Just at that moment, a figure shot from afar, so swiftly that it even brought forth a sonic boom.

The figure landed, revealing a young man with a striking appearance. It was none other than Feng Jun.

He frowned and looked towards Baili, "Fellow daoist, I was in seclusion. Isn’t your summoning a bit inappropriate?"

Baili steeled his heart, "I have been here for twenty days, unheeded. Why is this? Does my Yinsha Sect seem so easily bullied to you?"

Feng Jun gave him a sidelong glance, "I said it before, let You Longzi come and explain things clearly. Is this not a deliberate difficulty? Instead, I would like to ask, your Yinsha Sect can’t communicate properly within, so you abruptly interrupt others’ seclusions... Is this a friendly act?"

A seclusion is a major event for all cultivators—it concerns the pursuit of the Great Dao.

Even when Feng Jun took the Formation Pillar from Kunlun, he didn’t ask the Kunlun Sect Master to come out and meet with him.

Originally, Baili intended to capitalize on the opponent’s vulnerability and take aggressive action. Whether Feng Jun was in seclusion or not wasn’t his concern.

Although his combat power was average, he was still a cultivator of a sect, and he did not lack Magical Treasures.

Put plainly, he just wanted to bully the other side for having a weaker foundation.

But at this moment, he was accompanied by a detached person of Taiqing who seemed inclined to speak up for Mount Zhige.

However, with the arrow on the bow, there was no choice but to shoot, and he could only steel himself to speak, "I certainly can’t just wait here for nothing."

Feng Jun found it both funny and frustrating, "Did I make you wait? Can’t we speak reasonably?"

The next moment, he caught sight of the blue-clothed youth nearby, then raised his hand in salute, smiling as he asked, "May I inquire how the esteemed one is called?"

The blue-clothed youth also saluted with his hand, smiling in response, "Nice to meet you, fellow cultivator Feng; I am Taqing Lu Wanfeng."

Upon hearing this, Elder Baili was first taken aback, "The direct disciple of Master Sumiao, Lu Wanfeng?"

In fact, he had caught a glimpse of Lu Wanfeng from afar before, only the well-known Technique of Many Illusions of Taqing, when cultivated to great depths, has the ability to change one’s appearance entirely.

The two masters of Taqing who are most adept at this technique are known as Master Sumiao and Master Xiumu, precisely as Elder Baili had speculated.

As for Master Xiumu, known as "Xiumu the Sculptable," his fondness for the Technique of Many Illusions is clearly no mere coincidence.

Master Sumiao, one of only two female Golden Core practictioners of Taqing, naturally has a predilection for cleanliness and prefers handsome young men.

Thus, what she demands is even more extreme than Master Xiumu; every male disciple entering her door must possess a handsome and refined appearance.

The Technique of Many Illusions is an auxiliary cultivation technique, and as for the specifics of the principle... nevermind, let’s not pad out the narration.

Simply put, the Technique of Many Illusions isn’t just simple illusion; it genuinely has the ability to alter oneself. Lu Wanfeng’s fair and handsome appearance is closely related to the cultivation technique he practices.

This individual has won Master Sumiao’s favor, and his own strength is quite remarkable—he is indeed a prominent up-and-comer of the Taqing Sect.

Compared to Bai Luan, his reputation may be inferior; after all, when Bai Luan reached the intermediate level of transcendence, she was already one of the nine phoenixes of the Crimson Pheonix Sect, comparable to the elite transcendents of high rank within her sect.

But in actual battle, Lu Wanfeng might not necessarily lose to Bai Luan—even though she has now reached the seventh layer of transcendence.

The cultivators of Taqing Sect have considerable combat prowess, and their fighting style is light and easy, exuding an effortless grace.

Getting sidetracked, Lu Wanfeng saw that the Yinsha cultivator recognized him, and also raised his hand in salute, "May I ask how this fellow Yinsha cultivator prefers to be addressed?"

Elder Baili introduced himself—there was no choice, being both at the intermediate level of transcendence and disciples of the Four Great Sects, the difference between a well-known and an obscure reputation is just that great.

He then raised another question, "May I ask, what brings esteemed Lu here?"

Lu Wanfeng smiled slightly, "That, I’m afraid, is not convenient to share with the fellow cultivator."

He then turned to Feng Jun, speaking cordially, "I have taken the liberty of visiting; may I come in for a talk?"

Feng Jun did not know his purpose; speaking of which, since Master Sumiao was ill, the other party probably would not do anything to him, but the last time he dealt with Hong Bafang, he was certainly not lenient. If Luo Shuchen hadn’t arrived in time, Hong Bafang would have met an untimely demise.

He didn’t think he had done anything wrong, but what the other party would think of it was another question. Considering the disdainful nature of major sect disciples, he felt it necessary to tell him—I was very unhappy about the last incident.

So he smiled faintly, "The mountain is currently undergoing some renovations, so how about... we sit at Tiantong’s courtyard instead?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Wanfeng was slightly startled, then nodded his head, "That will be fine."

Elder Baili, seeing Feng Jun daring to keep this person outside, was also stunned: Do you know what you’re doing?

But the next moment, his heart surged with joy: Good, there’s no need for me to settle this with you; Lu Wanfeng will not let you off the hook!

Others might not know of Lu Wanfeng’s temperament, but Elder Baili was very aware: although he appears refined and handsome, his heart is actually quite narrow, and he cares a lot about his own face.

Feng Jun and Lu Wanfeng entered the small courtyard of Tiantong, Elder Baili hesitated for a moment, but followed them in as well.

Tiantong was originally a part of the Commercial Alliance, so comings and goings were quite normal, but the Tiantong in the Cultivation World is not so freely accessible to everyone, not treating this place as a teahouse.

However, Chairman Huang Fu was also helpless; this was a liaison point of Tiantong in the Mortal Realm, the security was only meant for mortals, it could deter Qi-Refining Practitioners, but as for those who transcended... Well, as long as you’re happy.

In fact, the chairman was somewhat pleased, as the comings and goings of these weighty cultivators could also bring some liveliness.

So she summoned a female attendant to come over and instructed her to brew tea.

Lu Wanfeng did not wait to sit down before he made a deep bow towards Feng Jun with a serious expression, "I am truly ashamed about the matter with Hong Bafang last time. His actions were not my intent, and I hereby apologize to fellow cultivator Feng..."

Lu Wanfeng in politeness said, "Fellow Cultivator Lu is too courteous," Feng Jun smiled slightly, thinking to himself that what would follow would likely be the familiar words, "however."
