"Are you...Senior Brother Wu?"
Ding Hui's tone was uncertain.
Wu Tiao looked at Fang Hua and Zhang Ru up and down, and then nodded after confirming that there was nothing serious about them.
"Senior Brother Ding, what are you doing here? Are my fellow teachers also around here?"
Ding Hui was a little stunned. He couldn't understand why Wu Tiao became so strong all of a sudden. That kind of thunder method was elegant and agile, and it was somewhat different from the Kunlun thunder method he knew. What happened to Wu Tiao?
Zhang Ru replied on behalf of Ding Hui: "They are resting in an open space ten miles to the east. We just... came out to get some air."
The reason was a bit reluctant, but Wu Tiao didn't care, but now he was wondering if he should go back.
"Senior brother, we... let's go back."
Thinking of what happened just now, Zhang Ru was still a little scared, and the pleading in her tone made Ding Hui secretly ashamed.
"I'll take you back."
Wu Tiao made a decision. There may be some ghost cultivators hiding in this area. These ghost cultivators who slipped through the net are not comparable to the ghost cultivators they usually encounter. Each one is more cunning and powerful. With the cultivation level of Ding Hui and the other three, it is really impossible. It's overwhelming.
Ding Hui looked at his left hand. The wound on the pad of his index finger poked his self-esteem. Just now, he used the death talisman, so he escaped. If it weren't for the death talisman that had been sacrificed, , he was dead just now, his voice trembled slightly.
"Senior Brother Wu, what are you doing here?"
Wu Tiao said: "I heard that there might be a ghost cultivator hiding here, so I came over to take a look."
"I haven't been able to see Senior Brother Wu these days. Even Senior Brother Cai is looking for you everywhere, but I didn't expect that Senior Brother Wu's cultivation level is completely different between the two. Kunlun Taoism is indeed well-deserved."
These words were quite confusing and even contradictory. There seemed to be little connection between them. Wu Tiao raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Ding Hui.
Ding Hui's face was pale. Although there were no fatal wounds on his body, he looked extremely embarrassed. The fear of facing death still clearly appeared on his face, and his eyes were dull with confusion that was difficult to hide. , making his lips tremble when he spoke.
"I'm afraid there are other ghost cultivators in this area. Let's get out of here first."
Fang Hua and Zhang Ru couldn't wait to leave here as soon as possible. They pulled Ding Hui to lead the way, while Wu Tiao followed them.
The dense forest is deep and silent, and occasionally a gust of wind blows, but the yin energy carried within it has not weakened at all.
…
…
"How's it going? Haven't you found it yet?"
"I don't know where they went. Let's look for them again."
"In my opinion, it doesn't matter if we look for them. They are not disciples of our sect, they just happen to be on the same road as us. We don't need to care so much. Moreover, the ghost cultivators in this area have basically been killed by us. As long as they are not unlucky enough to It’s outrageous, the possibility of encountering a ghost cultivator should be extremely low.”
"There will always be fish that slip through the net. Those ghost cultivators who can escape our killing are probably not easy to deal with. Senior Sister Wei has repeatedly urged us to look for them carefully. Let's look for them again."
Several Kunlun disciples gathered together and talked about their respective gains. Ding Hui and the other three left quietly, which really brought them some trouble. In this case, they had to go out to look for those three people, which also made them feel depressed. Full of anger.
Although it was inevitable to complain a few times, they did not dare not to take Wei Xiaoxiao's instructions seriously, so they had to look further away. At this moment, they found someone approaching, and they were relieved when they saw clearly who was coming.
"It's them."
"And...Senior Brother Wu!?"
Several Kunlun disciples came up to Wu Tiao and asked questions. They didn't care much about Ding Hui and the others. Although they originally came to find them, they really didn't have a good impression of these three people who left without authorization. , in comparison, he was more curious about Wu Tiao's whereabouts during this period.
"Senior Brother Wu, I haven't seen you for a while. Where have you been?"
"That is to say, Senior Brother Cai has been looking for you. If he knows that you are back, he will be very happy."
Thinking of Cai Xing, Wu Tiao also felt a little nostalgic. It can be said that the two grew up together since childhood, worked together, encouraged each other and improved each other's strength. Their relationship was closer than others, but I don't know how he is now. .
"Where is the leader?"
"Over there, half a mile to the east, by the biggest tree."
Now that he is back, Wu Tiao thinks he should go see Master Yun Gui first. He is practicing with Gu Chen these days, and there are some things he feels it is necessary to report to the leader.
Asking these fellow juniors to take care of Ding Hui and his party, Wu Tiao rushed inside.
"Senior Brother Wu, thank you."
Zhang Ru shouted loudly, and Wu Tiao waved to her from afar.
Several Kunlun disciples looked at Ding Hui and the others, and one or two snorted coldly, but there were also people with good attitudes who asked them to go back together.
When the news of Wu Tiao's return spread, he had already arrived under the big tree where Master Yun Gui was.
It's a secluded and spacious place with no other people around.
Wu Tiao stopped far away and saluted respectfully.
"Kunlun does not participate in the competition between various sects, and there is no need to carve seals to deal with ghost cultivators. There is no need for you to make a special trip back."
"This disciple happened to be nearby, so he came to pay homage to the master."
"Gu Chen is here too?"
"He didn't know that the Kunlun lineage is here, and now he is waiting for his disciples in the west of the dense forest."
"Then go ahead."
Wu Tiao hesitated and did not leave immediately.
"Anything else?"
Master Yun Gui did not look back, but his voice came clearly. Wu Tiao could no longer suppress the doubts in his heart, and told him one by one what had happened during Gu Chen's practice these days, including Gu Chen's modification of the Jidao Wind and Thunder Jue, and what he had just learned about the Jidao Wind and Thunder Technique. The story of how Dao Feng Lei Jue established his authority was told, but before he could ask his doubts, he was shocked to find his shoulders being held down, and he saw Master Yun Gui standing beside him at some point.
"Palm..."
"Yun Gong, don't talk."
This was the first time that Wu Tiao was so close to Master Yun Gui. He was still a little dazed for a moment. After he realized what he was doing, he quickly pressed the Jidao Wind and Thunder Technique taught by Zhao Chen to activate his Yuan Power. Under the stimulation of Master Yun Gui's Yuan Power, Wu Tiao Next, he found that his speed increased a lot.
After a long time, Master Yun Gui let go, let out a long sigh, and murmured with emotion: "This kind of talent is rare to see in millions of years."
Wu Tiao was overjoyed and said quickly: "Master, Senior Brother Gu's qualifications are rare, and his ability to modify exercises is also extremely important to our sect. Why don't we call him back?"
Master Yun Gui shook his head with a wry smile and said, "I didn't deprive him of his status as a Kunlun disciple because I was dissatisfied with him or he did something wrong. It's just that some things have happened and there is no way to undo it. Gu Chen He has his own path to take, and we can’t just think about what’s good for us.”
"But……"
"Gu Chen is the most outstanding Taoist disciple in Kunlun for thousands of years, but this has passed. Now he is no longer a disciple of Kunlun. His abilities and qualifications are indeed rare, but his return may destroy another person. It seems simple to give up and give up, but how can we measure it? A great catastrophe is about to happen, and no one can stay out of it. If Gu Chen is in Kunlun and not in Kunlun, what does it matter? "
It was not difficult for Wu Tiao to fully understand the profound meaning of Yun Gui's words, but the figure of Li Yuanmu could not help but appear in his mind. The current Kunlun Taoist is Li Yuanmu. Once Gu Chen comes back, how will the two of them get along?
But he also felt that Master Yungui would not think about such a small issue, what is giving and what is gaining. There seemed to be something behind this that he didn't know.
Wu Tiao tried hard and raised his voice for Gu Chen. Although the result might not be as expected, it was still better than letting him do nothing and just feel depressed. He bid farewell to Master Yun Gui.
"When you are around Gu Chen, think more and observe more. You will become stronger and Kunlun will also benefit."
A surge of blood rose from the bottom of his heart, and Wu Tiao retreated with determination.
