Chapter 293: Chapter 217: Netherworld Ghost General!

"No rush!"

Night Traveler, Muqiang Baoshan, eyed Orthodox Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao, who seemed to be an easy catch, and teased:

"Even if Laozi, the Heavenly King, were to arrive today, he would still have to shed a layer of skin. Don’t forget, this is Chang’an City! He can’t escape!"

...

"Do you want to know the answer?"

Orthodox Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao, having completed the Four Red Suns Formation, teased the crowd.

A group of cultivators responded:

"Of course, we want to know!"

"..."

Sect Master Zhuge Junchen of the Flame Cloud Sect remained silent, eager to see what trick this so-called Orthodox Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao was going to play!

Orthodox Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao proudly said with the Fire Sword Li Ping’an:

"Then let’s talk about it after I have killed Li Ping’an!"

"Or after he has killed me!"

"In any case, once one of us is dead, there will be an outcome, and all truths will be revealed to the world!"

"This..."

The response of Orthodox Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao left everyone present momentarily speechless, feeling that this sinister Orthodox Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao was totally insane! A devil! A demon!

"Hmph! Then let’s just wait and see the outcome!"

Sect Master Zhuge Junchen of the Flame Cloud Sect, with justified confidence, glanced at the disdainful Head of Immeasurable Sect, Taishu Yiqing, then calmly sat back down.

"Master, this demon Nangong Zhidao dares to insult you, are we just going to let this go?"

"Yes, Master, stop the contest immediately, let us disciples take this grievance for you!"

"Master, if you just turn a blind eye, even at the risk of our lives, we disciples will kill this man to vent your anger!"

"This man openly insults you, Master, we can’t stand by idly, today we must take action for you!"

Flame Cloud Sect’s Eldest Senior Brother Jiao Chujun, Second Senior Brother, Third Senior Brother, Fourth Senior Brother showed righteous indignation, loyal and committed, but internally, they were terrified. They could clearly sense that they were no match for this sinister Orthodox Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao. Yet, to please their master Zhuge Junchen, they had no choice but to show such an attitude.

"Hahaha! Enough with the sweet talk,"

Sect Master Zhuge Junchen of the Flame Cloud Sect obviously knew his disciples’ thoughts like the back of his hand; in front of so many people, it wasn’t right to expose them, so he just patiently explained:

"You guys aren’t foolish enough to still think this person is really Orthodox Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao, right?"

"Moreover, insulting me is a minor issue, the interests of the sect are more important. Right now, our interests align with this Nangong Zhidao’s, as we both seek to deal with Li Ping’an. Let’s see how their contest unfolds first. After the Grand Ritual of the Heavenly Master ends, none of them will escape!"

"Yes, Master."

Flame Cloud Sect’s Eldest Senior Brother Jiao Chujun, Second Senior Brother, Third Senior Brother, Fourth Senior Brother finally calmed down.

Meanwhile, Sect Master Zhuge Junchen of the Flame Cloud Sect was staring intently at the gourd on Li Ping’an’s waist!

He had confirmed that Li Ping’an had killed Pei Yuanjing, but he hadn’t seen his own treasure, the Immortal Slaying Sword yet. To discover the whereabouts of the Immortal Slaying Sword, he must now show restraint, even if that meant bearing a grudge as big as the heavens against Li Ping’an.

The other cultivators, having heard what the Orthodox Zhengyi Temple Cultivator had said, felt it was inappropriate to say more. Now the only thing they could do was to silently wait for the final outcome!

...

"Nangong Zhidao, no matter who you are, since you witnessed everything that night, you should know that the Four Red Suns Formation can’t kill me!"

Li Ping’an squinted his eyes and probed Orthodox Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao:

"I think I already sense who you are, but I’m not quite sure! You just want to kill me, right? Simple, just tell me who you are now, and I’ll fight you with all my strength!"

"Li Ping’an, you cunning deceiver! You might have fooled Pei Yuanjing but not me!"

Orthodox Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao immediately raised his left hand and began to cast a spell:

"What about if I add this newly learned spell to it, huh?"

"Open for me!"

Orthodox Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao said and then pointed his left hand towards the ground, a nearly invisible fissure eerily appeared beneath his feet, which slowly began to widen, ultimately expanding to over ten meters wide, forming an abyss!

Whoosh!

Gusts of chilly wind blew out from the abyss, occasionally accompanied by ghastly wails, as if something formidable was about to emerge. Paired with the darkness of the night, the sight frightened the lower-level cultivators nearby greatly!

...

"The Second Most Talented Under Heaven, Pei Yuanjing? What does he have to do with this?"

Though frightened, the cultivators still couldn’t help but gossip.

"Master! It seems this kid also knows about Junior Uncle’s affair!"

Flame Cloud Sect’s Eldest Senior Brother, Jiao Chujun, immediately reported to Master Zhuge Junchen.

"Master, no wonder this sinister Orthodox Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao knows our Flame Cloud Sect’s Four Red Suns Formation, it turns out he knows Junior Uncle!"

"Master, could this kid have stolen it from Junior Uncle’s teachings?"

"Master, it looks like we need to capture not only Li Ping’an but also this so-called Orthodox Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao, so we can derive the truth from both their mouths!"

The words of Flame Cloud Sect’s Second Senior Brother, Third Senior Brother, Fourth Senior Brother hinted that this so-called Orthodox Zhengyi Temple Cultivator Nangong Zhidao’s knowledge of the Flame Cloud Sect’s unique spells was definitely connected to The Second Most Talented Under Heaven, Pei Yuanjing!

"If it’s true that Pei Yuanjing secretly taught others our Flame Cloud Sect’s spells, I certainly won’t let him off!"

Sect Master Zhuge Junchen of the Flame Cloud Sect said, grinding his teeth in anger:

"However, I know Pei Yuanjing’s character; he would never do such a thing as to betray the sect. Right now, I’m just worried... whether he is really dead... let alone... let’s continue watching!"
