Chapter 56 The Conflict Between Good and Evil
Chapter 56 The Conflict Between Good and Evil
Shortly after Han Li's arrival, Ji Yin, with a smile on his lips, and Wu Chou, who still looked haggard, also arrived at the Hall of Stars.
Upon seeing Chen Liang and Qingyi Jushi chatting happily, Ji Yin stepped forward with some confusion and greeted them.
Ji Yin: "Brother Qing, who is this fellow Daoist?"
Qingyi Jushi: "Haha, come, come, let me introduce you. This is Fellow Daoist Mo, who, like me, is a wandering cultivator from the outer sea."
"Fellow Daoist Mo, this is Fellow Daoist Jiyin, you can also call him Brother Wu."
Upon hearing this, Ji Yin's expression changed slightly. His sharp gaze scrutinized Chen Liang's face as he asked, "Surname Mo? A rogue cultivator from the outer seas? What is your relationship with that scoundrel Mo Lu?!"
Chen Liang: "Fellow Daoist Jiyin, you're overthinking it. Mo Lu just happens to share the same surname as me. It seems you, Fellow Daoist Jiyin, are a bit too concerned about Mo Lu."
Upon hearing this, Ji Yin's cheek twitched involuntarily. Did he care about Mo Lu? Of course he did, but initially it wasn't that intense.
It wasn't until Mo Lu released Xuan Gu from that deserted island and had the masked monster deliver a message to him that the person he hated most in his life changed from Xuan Gu to Mo Lu.
Seeing that the atmosphere was getting tense, Master Qingyi quickly stepped forward to smooth things over.
"Hey, you two, you two, that Mo Lu is just a peak Core Formation cultivator after all. Until he breaks through to the Nascent Soul stage, he can't be considered one of our true peers."
Why should you two get angry over him? But you, Brother Wu, just a few days ago you defeated that old demon Xuan Gu and secured your position as the leader of the Xuan Yin lineage.
If you don't like Mo Lu, then go ahead and cause him trouble.
Upon hearing this, Ji Yin couldn't help but chuckle smugly and said, "Brother Qing is right. After this trip, I will definitely go find that Mo Lu and... well, teach him a lesson."
Immediately, Ji Yin turned his gaze to Madam Wen and said, "I didn't expect Madam Wen to come as well. I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you two to take good care of me these days."
Having said that, Ji Yin specifically bowed to Madam Wen and Qingyi Jushi. As for Chen Liang, Ji Yin still had some doubts about him, not knowing whether it was his intuition or his mysterious sixth sense at work.
Subsequently, although Ji Yin pretended not to care on the surface, he secretly kept testing Chen Liang intentionally or unintentionally.
Chen Liang simply acted casually, rendering all of Ji Yin's probing efforts futile.
After that, the righteous Nascent Soul cultivators finally made their appearance, whereas the three people who had appeared before, Madam Wen, Qingyi Jushi, and Jiyin, were all Nascent Soul cultivators from the demonic path.
A monk with a benevolent face and a plump figure, dressed in a brown-green robe, and a monk with a gaunt face, dressed in coarse linen clothes, entered the Hall of Stars together.
Among them, the portly figure's expression changed upon seeing Ji Yin. His name was Tian Wuzi, and his senior brother, Tian Yuanzi, was a renowned late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.
The gaunt figure beside Tian Wuzi was Mu Tengzi, a renowned Nascent Soul cultivator with the wood attribute.
At this moment, Tengoko took the lead and flew up, with Mutengzi following closely behind.
The two approached Ji Yin, Qingyi Jushi, and Chen Liang. Tian Wuzi said, "Old Demon Ji Yin, return the mutated fire python of this island. Otherwise, this humble Taoist will not be polite."
Although Ji Yin felt somewhat guilty, he still spoke up: "That little fellow was born of nature, and you can't control him, so naturally the capable should take his place. If you utter another word, be careful this patriarch doesn't convert you!"
Having said that, Ji Yin unleashed a ball of Heavenly Corpse Fire, its arrogance quite overbearing.
Just then, a voice came from the entrance of the Hall of Stars.
"You old codger, who are you trying to convert?"
Then, a sword-shaped beam of light suddenly burst into the Hall of Stars, revealing a figure dressed in a Confucian robe, looking righteous and awe-inspiring.
He was none other than Wan Tianming, the leader of the righteous path in the Chaotic Star Sea.
Wan Tianming continued, "How about we convert him as well?"
Upon hearing this, Ji Yin's arrogant demeanor came to an abrupt halt, and he fell into an awkward silence.
Madam Wen, who was standing to the side, looked up and said, "Wan Tianming, you've come too."
Wan Tianming looked at Madam Wen beside him and said, "Oh, so it's Madam Wen here. How is your husband, Mr. Liudao, doing? Your aunt has been thinking about him a lot."
Madam Wen gently stroked the phoenix sword in her hand and sneered, "Hmph! I'm probably cursing him to die a violent death every day. What he does has never been my concern, so Fellow Daoist Wan need not worry about it."
"Since you have this leisure time, Fellow Daoist Wan might as well properly discipline your disciples. The other day, your precious disciple injured one of my sword servants. Shouldn't you give an explanation for that?"
Wan Tianming's eyes darted around, noticing that Madam Wen, who was usually short-tempered, seemed a little different today. However, he couldn't figure out the reason for it, so he said, "This is just a dispute between juniors. At worst, I'll have him apologize to your sword servant."
Madam Wen said in a cryptic tone, "Hmph! I'm afraid we won't need it."
After saying that, Madam Wen stopped talking. Wan Tianming, who was confused about the situation, couldn't help but look at Tian Wuzi and Mu Tengzi beside him, wanting to know the secret.
Tianwuzi and Mutengzi both shook their heads. They had arrived only a little earlier than Wan Tianming and had no idea what had happened here.
Helpless, Wan Tianming could only turn to seek out the extremely yin and unlucky energy.
"Extremely Yin-Yang Friend".
Ji Yin looked up at Wan Tianming with a stiff expression and said, "Fellow Daoist Wan, what a magnificent sight!"
Wan Tianming smiled slightly upon hearing this. In front of Ji Yin, he could indeed show off his power.
It wasn't until a series of heavy stomping sounds approached from afar that the situation was resolved for Ji Yin.
With a cheerful smile, the bearded man skipped and hopped into the Hall of Stars.
He was clearly very happy; his full head of golden hair and beard were flowing freely.
"Hahahaha, I never expected that Sect Master Wan would actually come. I've always wanted to fight Sect Master Wan!"
Having said that, the bearded man leaped up and landed not far from the righteous trio, clenching his fist and saying, "I wonder how many punches your so-called 'Heavenly Net True Skill' can withstand from me?!"
Wan Tianming maintained a smile on his face, but his anger was already rising in his heart.
"Of course, of course. Since the Heaven-Supporting Technique is hailed as the number one defensive technique in the Chaotic Star Sea, then my Myriad Laws Sect will naturally have to learn a thing or two from it."
Wan Tianming's words were a veiled mockery of Manhuzi, implying that Manhuzi was only good at defense, so Manhuzi couldn't help but snort coldly upon hearing this.
Long ago, he had disliked Wan Tianming's attitude of being the best in the world with the "Heavenly Net True Skill" and that the Wanfa Sect, as the number one righteous sect, should rule the world. So the two sides had a long-standing grudge.
At this moment, both sides unleashed their full power, causing the Core Formation cultivators present to feel a chill run down their spines. Even Madam Wen couldn't help but grip her Phoenix Sword tightly, preparing for the possible battle.
Ji Yin, Qingyi Jushi, and Chen Liang, however, remained expressionless, clearly knowing that this battle would not break out here.
Fortunately, the changes predicted by the second clone finally occurred, which eased the tense atmosphere in the arena.
With a series of clicking sounds, the stone pillar where the second clone was located and another stone pillar not far away began to rise.
Moreover, the upward momentum was so strong that it made the two stone pillars extremely conspicuous in the scene.
Seeing this, Wan Tianming couldn't help but look at the stone pillar that was rising the fastest. Mu Tengzi beside him also gave a slight nod, indicating that the battle could be postponed.
So Wan Tianming concealed his aura and flew towards the stone pillar with Tian Wuzi and Mu Tengzi.
On the stone pillar, Ge Li from Tiantai Island, who was bowing to Wan Tianming and the others, looked flustered and retreated repeatedly.
Finally, Ge Li turned and flew away, showing his fear of Wan Tianming and the others.
