Under normal circumstances, in a duel between cultivators, the level of cultivation is the key to determining the outcome. If the level is higher, the strength will be completely different. It is almost impossible to win by leapfrogging.
However, there are always exceptions to everything. In the world of cultivation, there are a few things that can break this rule, such as: extremely high-quality magic weapons, hard-earned experience, extraordinary qualifications, and unreasonable spells.
In Du Wu's eyes, Liu Nian, as a golden elixir cultivator, could defeat him because of the latter two.
Although Du Wu was unwilling to accept this fact, he quickly accepted the fact. He was not like Liu Nian at the beginning, and his heart collapsed because he could not accept being defeated by Yan Yan Wuhui.
After all, Du Wu had long seen his own mediocrity and understood that he and the amazing and talented people in the spiritual world were completely different from each other.
In the small courtyard of Haoqi Mountain
Liu Nian didn't know what touched his heartstrings. The anger emanating from that moment completely shocked everyone. Until now, the entire Haoqi Mountain courtyard was still silent, and no one dared to ask questions.
Liu Nian snatched Zhao Tubao from Wanyu Bingmiao's arms in an extremely domineering and rude manner, then sat under the gardenia tree, crossed his knees, and placed the sleeping Zhao Tubao on his knees, with clear black and white eyes. There was doting and distress in his eyes.
Du Wu continued to kowtow to admit his mistake, not daring to stop or make a sound.
He Wenchu stayed where he was. He wanted to tell Liu Nian what happened not long ago, but out of timidity, Liu Nian didn't ask. He really didn't dare to say anything.
Wanyu Bingmiao was also standing by, with a bruise that looked like a shoe print covering her face. She glared at Liu Nian angrily while rubbing her fair and red face with her slender hands.
Although he was speechless on the surface, he kept scolding Liu Nian in his heart:
Evil thief, dirty, shameless, bastard~
How can there be a man in the world who just kicks a girl in the face!
I was fine just now, but suddenly I lost my temper!
Liu Nian gently held Zhao Tubao's little hand and touched the white porcelain bracelet on his wrist with his fingers.
The current white porcelain bracelet is no longer shiny, but is covered with intricate cracks. This phenomenon is the real reason for Liu Nian's anger.
Liu Ernian once placed a protective formation on this bracelet, which would only be activated when Zhao Tubao suffered life-threatening injuries.
Now, the white porcelain bracelet was cracked like this, indicating that the attack Zhao Tubao had just received was absolutely fatal.
In other words, Zhao Tubao almost died outside, and he almost lost his young apprentice.
"Stop knocking, it's annoying!"
Hearing Liu Nian's not calm words, Du Wu immediately stopped his movements and kept his head on the ground.
"Hewen, you took Zhao Tubao out to play today. What happened?"
Liu Nian paused and looked sideways at He Wen. The ink in his eyes fluctuated from turbid to clear. He added in a cold tone: "Tell me the whole process in detail. Don't deliberately say good things for anyone, and don't take responsibility for it." Dump it on innocent people!”
He Wen plucked up the courage to look directly at Liu Nian and told what happened calmly. According to Liu Nian's request, He Wen did not say anything nice for anyone, nor let any one person bear all the responsibility.
Just like reporting to his master Bai Qiuming, the accuracy of the content is the priority.
On top of the main peak of Haoqi Xianmen
Bai Qiuming held an iron rod in his hand to block the door of the meeting hall. Drops of blood dripped along the stick. Behind him, almost all the elders and deacons of the Haoqi Immortal Sect were ready to face the enemy.
The crowd held various magic weapons suspended in the air, as countless as catkins in summer, and could not be dispersed.
The Chiyang Sect members who were blocked in the meeting hall were a little anxious. They thought that with a little threat, Bai Qiuming would make the two disciples admit their mistakes and the whole matter would be resolved quickly. However, they did not expect that such a big battle would arise.
They have no intention of taking down the entire Haoqi Immortal Sect. After all, that would be too dangerous, and no one can be sure what cards the Haoqi Immortal Sect has.
And even if they did get things done, when that old lunatic Bai Xingqie came back, they would see that the sect they had been protecting had been invaded by outsiders.
He would definitely fight to the death and tear a few of them alive.
Since ancient times, there have only been wrong names, not wrong nicknames.
The world calls Bai Xingqie an old madman because he can do anything, and his strength is beyond the ordinary, and he has accomplished almost impossible things!
It is better to humiliate a gentleman than to bully a madman.
They don't want to stay here forever, let alone in this situation. If Bai Xingqi comes back, the misunderstanding will be huge.
But whenever they wanted to leave the meeting hall, Bai Qiuming would risk their lives and not allow them to leave the meeting hall.
Bai Qiuming's strength was not something to be afraid of for them, but considering that Bai Qiuming was Bai Xingqie's junior brother, no one dared to be cruel, for fear of being seriously injured or being chased and beaten by some madman.
As a result, the three Nascent Soul cultivators were suddenly blocked by a Golden Core cultivator.
Zhengshan suggested in a low voice: "Senior brother Du You, I think if our stalemate continues, we will probably have to fake it, or else let's just forget about it."
Zhenghai echoed: "Yes, Senior Brother Du You, Gao Yue wasn't injured anyway, let's make it a big deal and make it a trivial matter. If we continue to argue, the matter will probably not end!"
Du You frowned and hesitated for a moment, feeling that Zhengshan Zhenghai's proposal was indeed the best choice, and he also had this idea.
"Grandpa Du You, do you want to listen to the two of them? Didn't you say you want justice for Yue'er?" Gao Yue shook Du You's old hand, looked at it with loving eyes, and said in tears.
Looking at Du You who took out the whip again, Zhengshan Zhenghai suddenly put on a bitter face.
Du Youyou walked up to Bai Qiuming with a solemn expression, his silver whip coiled around him, and said proudly: "Bai Qiuming, don't tell me what the truth is. I will let the two erring disciples return to my house." Yue'er kowtows and apologizes, and if she gets a whip from me, the matter will be fully understood."
As people grow older, Du You not only intends to make Gao Yue happy, but also intends to finalize the matter. Once Bai Qiuming agrees to let Hewen and Zhao Tubao be whipped, Du You will show no mercy. He Wen and Zhao Tubao both People will definitely die.
At that time, if there is no proof of death, the entire cultivation world will think that Gao Yue is the victim, and Bai Xingqi will have no suitable reason to trouble him.
Bai Qiuming turned his head and spit out bloody phlegm. He had already seen through Du You's plan and replied in a strong tone: "Du You, I can ask the two disciples to kowtow to Gao Yue and apologize, but that whip is not allowed in any case. beat!"
Du You narrowed his eyes and raised the corners of his mouth slightly to show his disdain, and threatened: "If you protect them like this, you are not afraid that a few of us will directly destroy your Haoqi Immortal Sect."
"Hmph, if the entire Haoqi Immortal Sect cannot even protect two disciples, then there is no need to exist at all!"
Du You raised his head and looked at Bai Qiuming for a moment, both of them looking unyielding. Finally, Du Youxiao asked: "You ask them to kneel down and kowtow, what should you do if they don't want to?"
Bai Qiuming replied firmly: "I won't let this happen!"
"Okay, I can do as you say!
But remember, it was those two disciples who acted irregularly and kowtowed to my Yue'er to apologize, not the two of them who sacrificed their dignity for the sake of the entire Haoqi Immortal Sect.
Things have come to light, and what I said is the truth. "
Bai Qiuming knew Du You's plan. No matter what the truth of the matter was, as long as he agreed, the truth of the matter would be settled.
Whether this is true or not, it doesn't matter anymore. The entire Immortal Sect will think that He Wen and Zhao Tubao were at fault first, so they deserve to be beaten.
Even if the leader comes back, there is no way to seek justice for them.
But this way, at least they can be protected.
Looking at Bai Qiuming, who was frowning and thinking, Du You decided to add fuel to the fire, and said in an ear: "If you don't agree to this request, then let all the disciples of your Haoqi Immortal Sect be buried with those two bastards who made mistakes and refused to admit it.
If you agree, everyone can live.
Bai Qiuming... This is my biggest concession. Tell me, what is your choice? "
After a long time, Du You walked out of the meeting hall with Gao Yue in his arms with a smile on his face, and Zhengshan Zhenghai followed him with his head held high. On the other hand, Bai Qiuming looked slumped, leaning on the ground with a solid iron rod to barely stand, as if He aged dozens of years in an instant.
Seeing this, He Ling hurriedly walked out of the crowd and stepped forward to help the shaky Bai Qiuming.
"Dad...Master, what's wrong with you?"
Bai Qiuming only replied that it was okay, and then led everyone from Haoqi Immortal Sect to fly towards Haoqi Mountain.
Along the way, Bai Qiuming stood at the front and led the way for everyone. He was moving extremely slowly, as if he was going in the wrong direction, and he didn't know whether he should continue moving forward.
Du Youyou hugged Gao Yue with a kind face and said softly: "Yue'er, come and see how grandpa helps you seek justice!"
Gao Yue nodded with a smile.
Immediately, Du You's expression turned cold, and magic power blessed his mouth. When he spoke, his voice echoed for hundreds of miles.
"Your disciple of the Haoqi Immortal Sect, Hewen Zhao Tubao, attempted to steal from our Chiyang Sect's copper boat, but Gao Yue of our Chiyang Sect caught him in the act. Not only did he not admit it, he also used force to bully him.
Today, I, Du Youte, came to ask for help. "
"Nonsense, my senior brother would never do such a thing." He Ling retorted sharply.
All the elders and deacons also echoed in unison.
"Impossible, how could we, the people of Haoqi Immortal Sect, do such a thing!"
"Although these inner sect elders are hateful, their character is definitely reliable. This kind of thing is definitely not done by them!"
"Don't slander the reputation of our Haoqi Immortal Sect here."
"If you want to fight, let's fight. Even if we can't win, you are not allowed to throw dirty water!"
…
Du You shook his head and sighed, as if he had been hit hard. He raised his hand and pointed at Bai Qiuming, who was standing nearby, and said jokingly: "If you don't believe it, you can ask your punishment elder Bai Qiuming. If you don't believe me, You must believe what he says!"
Everyone's eyes gathered together, looking at Bai Qiuming with a confident expression, waiting for the answer they had already determined, but the result was disappointing.
Bai Qiuming's expression was indifferent, he closed his eyes and said, "Fellow Taoist Du You, what he said is true."
He Ling clenched her fists. She still didn't believe that her senior brother would do such a thing.
Bai Qiuming's words caused the scene to fall into silence. For a while, everyone's expressions varied, ranging from surprise, disbelief, doubt, and disappointment.
An old man waved his hands angrily and spoke first: "How could our Haoqi Immortal Sect have such a scum!"
The voice of doubt can often lead people into the most unfounded reverie. With the first person to express his opinion, the reverie in everyone's mind becomes the truth.
"I have met Hewen so many times, and I always thought he was a gentleman. I didn't expect that he turned out to be such a person."
"You know, I've long disliked him. He's so short, maybe he's been oppressed by evil intentions!"
Lamentations and complaints came one after another.
A female cultivator in linen asked: "Who is that Zhao Tubao? Do we have any elders with this name?"
"I don't know, I've never heard of anyone with this name!"
The female cultivator in sackcloth pressed her double chin and said loudly: "It's not like everyone doesn't know what He Wen is like. Apart from his venomous mouth, he has never done anything immoral!"
"Then what do you think is going on? It can't be that our punishment elder is lying!
He is Hewen's master, there is absolutely no way he can slander his apprentice! "
"Yes! This is a master-disciple relationship. If this is not true, how could Elder Bai Qiuming say it out loud?"
The female cultivator in sackcloth said: "Isn't there another guy named Zhao Tubao? In my opinion, it was He Wen who was taught bad things by her?"
"It's very possible!"
"I also feel that way!"
Seeing that suspicion had appeared in everyone's minds, Du You put a proud smile on his lips and said loudly: "Everyone, He Wen and Zhao Tubao are on Haoqi Mountain now. As long as they get there, everyone's questions will be solved immediately. .”
