Don’t Mess with that Turtle
Chapter 82 - 82 081 Collapse of the Mountain_1

82: Chapter 081 Collapse of the Mountain_1 82: Chapter 081 Collapse of the Mountain_1 Accompanied by the sound, a middle-aged man dressed in bright clothes approached on his sword, followed by dozens of sword lights that landed outside Tinghai Lake one after another.

It was another Feng Yi Ju!

Under the vision of heaven and earth, a person identical to Feng Yi Ju in aura.

But at this moment, he bore no resemblance to Feng Yi Ju.

From appearance to temperament to aura and scent.

Unlike Feng Yi Ju’s refined and cultured demeanor, he seemed somewhat aggressive.

Elder Ge and Qiao Changlun both had a change of expression on their faces.

Feng Yi Ju was stunned for a moment, then walked out with a beaming smile and clasped his hands, saying, “Brother Chi, it’s been a hundred years since we last met, and your cultivation has become ever more profound.

I failed to detect your arrival.

Please forgive me for not greeting you from afar, my apologies!”

The man referred to as Brother Chi laughed heartily, “We are all fellow brothers of the same sect, why bother with such grievances?”

Su He quietly approached Elder Ge and whispered, “Master, who is this person?”

Under the vision of heaven and earth, it clearly was another Feng Yi Ju, but at this moment, there truly were two completely different people.

Elder Ge’s eyes showed disapproval, and he snorted coldly, “His name is Chi Yang, the sole heir of the previous master.

Unfortunately, he is unlearned and ignorant.

After the old master passed away, the elder heads of the Seven Veins chose Feng Yi Ju to be the sect leader, and he caused a great disturbance in Qingyuan, then left to establish his own sect in the East Cloud West Foothills, founding the No-Phase Sword Sect, leading the East Cloud Sects in resistance against Qingyuan Gate…”

Elder Ge didn’t finish speaking when he suddenly looked at Su He with shock, “You can talk?”

It’s normal to speak during praying and pleading to heaven and earth, but still being able to speak after it’s over?

My disciple has achieved the Dragon Turtle True Form?

Being able to speak the human language is a sign of the purified bloodline of the Divine God Beast!

Qiao Changlun also stared at Su He in amazement,

Su He shook his head, deeming it unimportant.

After absorbing so much Tian Di Tao Rhyme, he was now so full that he could barely walk, let alone talk, right?

Perhaps once the wave of Tao Rhyme was fully digested, he would be unable to speak again.

At the moment, his mind was filled with question marks, unable to understand the situation between this Chi Yang and Feng Yi Ju.

An external avatar?

Definitely not, as the creation of an external avatar would inevitably involve other materials, changing the aura, and it would be impossible to appear completely identical under the vision of heaven and earth.

In the eyes of heaven and earth, the two of them are essentially the same person, indistinguishable from one another.

An avatar?

Cutting off three corpses?

The Second Body from the Transforming Beast Guide?

It should be none of these, as all of them are different from the original in terms of aura.

Especially the Transforming Beast Guide, not to mention it can only condense a beast body, which when manifested, is a purebred member of the beast clan, so it’s even less likely.

But Su He knew that there must be some big drama within.

Sticking close to Elder Ge, he ensured his safety while quietly watching the drama unfold.

Feng Yi Ju nodded with a smile, “Brother Chi is right, we are all fellow brothers of the same sect, what’s the fuss?

Brother Chi, your arrival is timely, why don’t you take a seat first?

Would you like to try today’s dishes?

I specially asked Uncle Ge to get a few bottles of Hundred Fruits Brew from Junior Brother Longgui, which I’m reluctant to give to anyone else.

It’s perfect for us brothers to taste together.”

Chi Yang laughed and waved his hand, “Where does one have an uncle who accepts a disciple, and I, as the visitor, eat the banquet without bringing a gift?” He clasped his hands at a distance towards Elder Ge, a respectful look on his face, “Today is Uncle Ge’s disciple acceptance, a significant event for Qingyuan.

I, as a junior nephew, have come to present a grand gift, especially to offer congratulations.

I wish Uncle Ge a prospering Tao cultivation!”

Elder Ge was extremely vigilant, sneering twice, “What’s this?

You want to give me your so-called No-Phase Sword Sect?

Old man might suggest to the Sect Leader to open an Eighth Vein in addition to the Seven Veins of Qingyuan.

I believe the Sect Leader won’t object.”

Feng Yi Ju laughed heartily, and there was indeed some hope in his eyes, “There’s no need to talk about opening the Eighth Pulse; if brother is willing to return, I would willingly give up the position as Sect Leader!”

Chi Yang’s laughter grew even more joyful, as if he heard the funniest joke in the world, laughing until tears came out.

He held his waist and waved his hand, “Let’s talk about that later, the gift I’ve brought today, let’s see if our fellow sect members can even accept it.”

The people of Qingyuan immediately turned solemn, with the heads of the seats already reaching for their Immortal Swords.

Others were leaving to return to the Palace of Longevity to take charge of the Mountain Protection Array.

Chi Yang looked around at everyone, a flash of disdain in his eyes, and finally, his gaze fell back on Feng Yi Ju, “Junior Brother Feng, let me ask you, how was my master, the Previous Master Yun Lü Daoist?”

Feng Yi Ju composed himself and faced the sky with a fist-and-palm salute, “Master Yunlu’s contributions to the universe are monumental, and especially so for our Qingyuan.

Allow me, Junior Brother, to speak frankly.

Although there might have been progress in these three hundred years, much of the foundation is thanks to Master Yunlu’s toil.

Without the groundwork laid by Master Yunlu, Qingyuan could never have achieved such advancement in three hundred years.”

Feng Yi Ju paused for a moment, then said earnestly, “Had someone else taken on the role of Qingyuan Master in these three hundred years, they might not equal Junior Brother, but the difference would not be vast.”

Chi Yang’s expression eased slightly, “At least you have the self-awareness not to erase our Master’s contributions.

But now I have a question for you!”

Suddenly, his brows furrowed.

Feng Yi Ju readied himself to listen respectfully.

Chi Yang rebuked, “While our Master was alive, Qingyuan might have only spanned three thousand li, but the various sects were as close as limbs to us.

Now, though Qingyuan spans ten thousand li, why do the sects regard Qingyuan as a fearsome tiger?”

His voice boomed like a great bell, the sound waves washing over Qingyuan, stunning and deafening.

A buzz reverberated through those assembled for the ceremony.

Feng Yi Ju found himself at a loss for words.

Times had changed.

When Master Yunlu was in charge, Taibai Temple was the dominant force in East Cloud Mountain, and thus, the relationship between Qingyuan Gate and the other East Cloud sects was naturally good—at least superficially.

Now, as Qingyuan Gate became the dominant party, it was just like Taibai Temple back then.

Should Qingyuan fall from grace in the future, and another rises to lead, Qingyuan’s relations with the other sects would naturally become harmonious again, united against a common challenge.

Isn’t that how things have been for thousands of years in East Cloud Mountain?

But such words could not be spoken.

Some things can be done but not said; once uttered, the paper window would be pierced, potentially turning the East Cloud Sects into real enemies and even dragging Xuan Tian Gate down with them.

This matter was known to all, yet no one spoke of it.

Chi Yang looked around at everyone on the lake, declaring loudly, “When my Master was here, the Qingyuan Main Gate would be open, and friends from all sects could visit at any time.

Now, the Mountain Protection Array of Qingyuan is always active, and I have to resort to tricks just to return.

Is it not this array that has hindered Qingyuan’s communication with other sects?”

He chuckled, and his laughter grew louder, “Today, as Uncle takes on a disciple, I’ve brought Qingyuan a grand gift—the name of which is ‘No Bound’.”

“May Qingyuan and the sects no longer be separated by arrays!”

The Qingyuan Disciples’ faces changed in an instant.

Feng Yi Ju leaped into the air: “Brother Chi, how dare you!”

Just then, inside Qingyuan Gate’s Palace of Longevity, a loud noise thundered.

The Mountain Protection Array enshrouding the entire Qingyuan Gate shattered abruptly.

“Presumptuous!”

“Seeking death!”

Elder Ge and Qiao Changlun were the first to rush toward Chi Yang, and the former, now in mid-air, transformed into a white leopard, its brow flashing with seven flickering Profound Moons.

With a sudden swoop, his paw came down, black lightning crackling, threatening to tear heaven and earth asunder.

Qiao Changlun, along with several chiefs and Elders, instantly engaged the members of No-Phase Sword Sect.

“Qingyuan Disciples, heed my command, form the array, slay the enemy!”

“Esteemed friends, lay down your magic artifacts this instant.

Do not attempt to leave Longevity Island, or else don’t blame me for turning hostile!” Elder Ge’s roaring voice transmitted, “Once this matter subsides, I will kowtow and apologize, take any punishment or death, but if you dare to move now, death is certain!”

Feng Yi Ju had already launched himself into the air, without engaging in battle, he turned into a beam of light heading towards the Palace of Longevity.

The Mountain Protection Array could not afford any loss.

“Big Zhuang!

Ya Ya!” Su He roared, as a drunken camel burst from behind Longevity Island, turned into a blaze of red flame, and crashed into Guiyuan Island, plunging Ya Ya, still not awake, into Elephant Water.

Beneath Elephant Water, in Beast Valley, was Elder Ge’s Second Body Dojo—only there was truly safe.

Su He looked toward the Palace of Longevity.

What on earth was Feng Yi Ju up to?
