Chen Xuanyang looked around and found that this was a road going up the mountain.
Without thinking much, he walked towards the mountain.
After walking for a while, a pavilion suddenly appeared in front of them, blocking the way in the middle of the mountain road.
In the pavilion, a man wearing a blue robe and handsome features sat in front of the wooden table in the pavilion, facing Chen Xuanyang who was going up the mountain.
"Your Excellency, you are here. I thought that you would not count on the agreement made three months ago."
Chen Xuanyang frowned slightly, the agreement three months ago?
Three months ago I was still teaching at the university. What kind of agreement was that?
"Who are you?"
The man in blue robe said nothing, but opened his palm and pointed towards the chessboard.
"Come on, since you want to challenge my ancestor, then according to the rules, your first competition today will start from below."
Chen Xuanyang looked confused, what is all this?
Although he was confused, he still walked towards the small pavilion.
He sat opposite the man in blue robe, on the side of the white chess piece.
"Go versus black and white, life and death are random, Your Excellency, please!"
Chen Xuanyang looked at the clean chessboard and frowned.
He is not very good at ancient Go. He is more proficient in chess and backgammon.
Forget it, just try it casually. He picked up a white stone and dropped it into the center.
The man in blue robe remained calm and immediately followed up with a black chess piece.
After three or four rounds, Chen Xuanyang felt more and more that something was wrong.
Finally, in the fifth round, he realized he had made a wrong move.
"Life is like a chess piece. You have no regrets when you make a move. Your Excellency, you lose!" The man in blue robe fell, and Chen Xuanyang's chess game was lost.
"I thought you would be very powerful, but it turns out you are far behind. At this level, you are not worthy of challenging the ancestor."
A terrifying wave of mana suddenly erupted from the chessboard, and Chen Xuanyang's body was instantly dispersed and gradually disappeared.
In the next breath, Chen Xuanyang opened his eyes suddenly and looked at his body in horror. He returned to the world of ink and wash.
"I...failed in enlightenment?"
Chen Xuanyang frowned. Could it be that as long as he failed in that world, he would be transported back to the ink world?
He closed his eyes and meditated again, and the stone tablet once again glowed with golden light.
The next moment, Chen Xuanyang returned to that mountain and forest world again.
Walking up the mountain, it's still the pavilion, the same man in blue robe, and the same first words.
This time, Chen Xuanyang sat down decisively and then started the game again.
The first time I only lasted five rounds.
And this time, seven rounds.
"Too weak, you are not worthy of challenging the Patriarch."
Chen Xuanyang's body was once again scattered by the power of the chessboard.
This time he planned to activate the Golden Body Technique, but in this world, he could not use any method.
Come again!
Chen Xuanyang entered again. This time he was even worse than the previous two times and only lasted four rounds.
"Your chess skills are really unsightly and chilling. Go back and practice for another thousand years!"
Chen Xuanyang disappeared again.
Come again!
Still five rounds.
"Weak, too weak, go home, this is not the place you should be!"
He failed several times in a row, and each time the words of the man in blue robes did not change. But when he failed, the words of the man in blue robes that laughed at him were not the same.
Damn it, you bully people too much, you can kill them but not humiliate them!
again.
This time Chen Xuanyang chose to avoid it. However, when he thought he had successfully escaped, he teleported to the small pavilion in the next second.
When he saw this, he didn't intend to play chess, and directly ignored the man in blue robe and walked towards the mountain road behind.
However, he was killed on the spot.
His grandma's, it seems that there is no way to pass by opportunism, and he will only let him pass if he beats him in the chess game.
Chen Xuanyang simply fell into a cycle of madness and abuse.
…
At the same time, Liuzhou, Zhenling Division.
Peng Yu stood respectfully in front of a man wearing a black leopard-print official robe.
"Peng Yu, the manager of the Liuzhou Zhenling Department, sincerely welcomes Mr. Liu!"
The man nodded slightly: "I heard that a new sect has emerged in Liuzhou, and it is not willing to abide by the rules set by the Taoist Alliance and the court?"
Peng Yu nodded slightly: "It's absolutely true. This is why I invited Mr. Liu from Jiangzhou. I hope Mr. Liu can help me deal with this sect on behalf of the imperial court."
"What's the strength of the sect?"
Peng Yu immediately responded: "As far as I know, the strength of Chen Xuanyang, the dean of Qionghuai Academy, is unknown, but judging from his performance during this period, his strength should not be underestimated. He should be able to pass through the Dharma realm. As for the rest, you can It’s nothing to be afraid of.”
Mr. Liu nodded slightly: "If there is only one person in the Dharma Realm, it will be easier to deal with. I would like to ask you, are there any of the top ten sects in Liuzhou who are willing to cooperate with the Zhenling Division to take down this sect?"
Peng Yu sighed slightly.
"The first and second Lingyun Temple and Dang Moshan have had conflicts recently, resulting in heavy losses and no reply. The remaining Guiyun Villa is unwilling to take action. The Yinming Divine Sect and Yangtian Island are in a semi-secluded state and do not participate in worldly disturbances. , among the remaining five sects, only two sects, Puluo Temple and Lingshan Sword Sect, are willing to cooperate. Yanmenglou and Qianyinfang are not involved. Tongtian Valley, which ranks eleventh, is willing. Its comprehensive strength is actually the same as that of the No. 1 sect. The Qianyinfang of Ten is about the same, just a little bit inferior. As for the sects ranked further down, it doesn’t mean much if they come, not to mention they don’t dare to come at all, so I didn’t bother.”
Mr. Liu nodded slightly, "What tactics do you have?"
Peng Yu thought for a moment and then said: "Li Xianlan, the eldest disciple of Qionghuai Academy, is from the Li family in Liuzhou. It's better to start with the Li family first. And I heard that Lieyun Sect has a good relationship with Qionghuai Academy, so they can't let him go."
"The abbot of Puluo Temple has just left seclusion. He has already rushed over after sensing that one of his abbot's magical artifacts is in Lieyun Sect."
Mr. Liu stood up slowly: "Sects that do not abide by the rules set by the Taoist Alliance and the imperial court are regarded as evil heretics, and the people or forces related to them should be dealt with together. The Li family will go there in person, and you can arrange the rest. .”
Peng Yu cupped his fists and said, "Yes!"
…
In the next hour, three major events happened in Liuzhou.
The first thing was that the Li family in Liuzhou was accused of colluding with evil heretics. Master Liu, the general manager of the Jiangzhou Zhenling Department, personally came to Liuzhou to detain the Li family.
The second incident was that the Lieyun Sect secretly possessed a top-grade magical weapon from the Puluo Temple and colluded with the evil Qionghuai Academy. The abbot of the Puluo Temple, Master Hui En, led his five hundred disciples to break through. The leader of the sect, Yu Qinglin, and several elders were arrested and sent to prison together. Go to the Zhenling Division and prepare to be escorted to the market to be beheaded at dusk.
The third thing is that the three forces of Tongtian Valley, Lingshan Sword Sect, and Liuzhou Zhenling Division led all their troops to Qionghuai Academy.
Three things instantly turned the entire Liuzhou upside down.
…
In Qionghuai Academy, Zhou Muye informed everyone of the intelligence collected.
Li Xianlan punched the ground and exploded into countless pieces.
"Damn it, these beasts are so deceptive!"
When he learned that everyone in the Li family had been arrested and would be beheaded in public, his eyes seemed to be covered in blood.
Ye Shaoyu frowned, "As long as you give me one more day, I can solve the problem of Qionghuai Academy's establishment of a sect that is not recognized. It's a pity that the other party came so quickly."
Wen Zhiyan frowned and didn't know what to do for a moment.
"Is Master still in retreat?"
Mr. Sun nodded: "Yes, the dean hasn't come out yet."
At this time, the sky suddenly dimmed, and a large group of cultivators were seen floating above the sect-protecting formation of Qionghuai Academy.
A large group of dark practitioners covered the sky, and the sky suddenly became gloomy.
In Qionghuai Academy, all the servants were trembling with fear. They had never seen such a scene before.
"Evil heretic Chen Xuanyang, come out quickly and die!"
Li Yuanrang next to Peng Yu shouted angrily.
In the sky, people from Tongtian Valley, Lingshan Sword Sect, and Zhenling Division gathered together. There were nearly a thousand people, densely suspended in the sky, which made people tremble with fear.
At the foot of Xiaoyu Mountain, countless residents saw an unforgettable scene. A dense crowd of practitioners occupied the sky, as if the sky had collapsed. Everyone ran away in panic.
After hearing about it, some practitioners rushed over to catch a glimpse of this shocking battle, even if they were hundreds of miles apart.
In the sky above Qionghuai Academy, Zhao Qianran, the master of Tongtian Valley, crossed his arms over his chest.
"The reputations of Chen Xuanyang and Qionghuai Academy are quite high these days. My ears are ringing with noise. Moreover, it is said that this guy even dares to oppose the rules set by the imperial court and the Taoist League. It is really impressive. Today I am... I have to come and see for myself how much he weighs!"
The leader of the Lingshan Sword Sect stepped on a long sword, his sword robe fluttered, and his eyes burst out with a sharp sword light.
"Zhao Valley Master, don't be careless. Lin Tianwei possesses five quasi-high-grade magic weapons and is still being suppressed by Chen Xuanyang, so be careful!"
Seeing that there was still no response from Qionghuai Academy after calling for so long, Li Yuanrang was a little irritated.
"Qionghuai Academy, a bunch of rats!"
Li Xianlan couldn't bear it anymore and was about to rush out, but was stopped by Ye Shaoyu.
"Senior Brother, don't worry. There are many people on the other side. It's very dangerous to go out alone. We have a large formation to protect the sect. We just need to wait for them to wait for Master to come out of seclusion."
Li Xianlan was a little anxious. He could wait, but everyone in the Li family was about to be beheaded. There was less than an hour left before dusk.
"Hmph, I think they are scared!" In the sky, Li Yuanrang snorted disdainfully.
"Haha, they are really a bunch of cows, let's see this Valley Master beat them all out!"
Zhao Qianran, the master of Tongtian Valley, clenched his palms, gathered all his magic power, and landed a punch as if it had a huge force.
Taking action is the pinnacle of the legal realm.
"Qingtian Fist!"
The red fist light fell like a meteorite, and just when it was about to hit the academy building, the formation barrier suddenly lit up, isolating the fist light from outside.
boom.
A huge explosion erupted, and the sect-protecting formation set off a faint ripple.
"Oh, what a turtle shell, so hard!" Zhao Qianran cursed.
"I'll try."
The leader of the Lingshan Sword Sect turned his palm, and his magic power gathered into a white magic sword.
The magic sword was launched, growing in size, and finally turned into the size of three overlapping Huabiao.
"go!"
Pushing out with a palm, the white magic sword rotated and slashed hard towards the formation barrier of Qionghuai Academy.
Another Taoist cultivator at the pinnacle of the Dharma Harmony Realm.
boom.
The white magic sword was shaken away by the repulsive force of the formation barrier, and the barrier once again caused ripples.
The leader of the Lingshan Sword Sect frowned, secretly surprised by the power of the Qionghuai Academy's sect-protecting formation.
In the air far away from Xiaoyu Mountain, some practitioners who came to watch were amazed.
In order to deal with Qionghuai Academy, so many Taoist cultivators at the peak of Fahe Realm appeared.
There were quite a few people watching, including disciples from other top ten sects.
Several female disciples from Qianyinfang looked in the direction of Qionghuai Academy, then looked at the dense crowd of practitioners in the sky, and shook their heads and sighed.
"Since ancient times, no sect has been able to withstand the attack of so many people. Even Lingyun Palace cannot hold out for long."
"The boss personally ordered us not to mess with Qionghuai Academy. Now I want to see how capable they are."
Qin Yanxi and Ling Cuicui from Guiyun Villa were also there, and they looked over there worriedly.
"Sister, why don't we go and help Senior Chen and the others? They asked us to follow them into the secret realm before, giving us a chance to get good things!"
Ling Cuicui blinked and looked at Qin Yanxi with some confusion.
Qin Yanxi shook his head and sighed, "There is no way. Senior Chen is too arrogant in character and too arrogant in his behavior. He is unwilling to suffer a little grievance or suffer a little loss. He puts his status extremely high and does not give in even a little bit. This This has led to the current situation. Master does not allow us to intervene. Even if we help, we can't actually save them."
If Chen Xuanyang was willing to visit various sects in Liuzhou to make deals, he would only lose some profits from the mineral veins, but at least he could gain recognition. How could it lead to such a situation.
"I think what Senior Chen did is right. Tolerance will only make greedy people more presumptuous."
Qin Yanxi turned around and saw Mo Changsheng appearing here with a scabbard on his back.
"Senior Brother Mo!?"
Mo Changsheng nodded and continued: "Master Chen Xian is a man of temperament. He does not bow to any power, is indifferent to fame and wealth, and lives as he pleases. This is the real immortal, and I deeply admire him."
Qin Yanxi sighed slightly: "But the price of doing this is to be destroyed. Why bother? Sometimes if you lower your head and don't be so arrogant, at least you can still live."
She couldn't understand.
Mo Changsheng said with a smile: "Junior sister, you don't understand this. For people like Senior Chen, instead of living a humble life, it is better to fight a vigorous battle and fight for your beliefs, even if you lose. , I have no regrets, not to mention I think Senior Chen may not lose this time."
Qin Yanxi didn't know when Mo Changsheng became a fan of Qionghuai Academy.
She has little confidence in Qionghuai Academy or Chen Xuanyang. There are thousands of people surrounding them. How can you break through the siege by yourself?
In her opinion, this is definitely a huge crisis for Qionghuai Academy.
