As expected, as soon as Guo Nan said these words, everyone present opened their eyes angrily and stared at him viciously.
At this time, a burst of undisguised laughter came over, causing everyone to look sideways.
I saw Guo Dalong laughing so hard that he could hardly stand upright.
He seemed not to have noticed the livid faces and cold eyes of Ling Hutian and others beside him.
"Your Excellency is so presumptuous, it's really..." Linghutian stepped forward and punched Guo Dalong with his right hand, "You really don't take me, Linghutian of Qingcheng Mountain, seriously!"
This punch was so powerful that Linghu Tian's fist seemed to turn into a tiger's head, roaring towards Guo Dalong, exuding terrifying power.
If this punch were to hit an uncultivated person like Guo Dalong, he would probably be killed immediately.
"stop!"
"No!"
When Liao Ming and Liao An saw this, they immediately tried to intercept him, but Linghu Tian's subordinates stepped in front of him.
"Hmph! You are all clay Buddhas and cannot save yourselves when crossing the river. You still have the leisure to care about others. How great you are!"
"After the young master has dealt with those two miscellaneous fish, you will be dealt with next!"
"You two will have something to eat later, don't worry!"
The light and darkness could only watch helplessly as Linghutian's figure kept approaching Guo Dalong. Guo Dalong was stunned with fright and stood there stupidly. At this time, Guo Nan's face was still cold, as if it had not changed for thousands of years. Ice sculpture.
The next moment, everyone's eyes were dazzled. Guo Nan's figure stood in front of Guo Dalong and blocked Linghutian's fist with one hand.
At this time, Guo Nan's whole body burst out with an extremely majestic momentum, and the ordinary-looking robe on his body moved automatically without wind, showing its elegance.
Linghu Tian only felt that he was facing a majestic mountain, so that he could not have any intention of offending.
Guo Nan just raised his palm slightly, and Linghu Tian immediately took dozens of steps back, and finally sat down on the ground. His consciousness was a little blurred, and he didn't move for a long time.
The few men who were blocking the light and darkness were looking at Guo Nan as if they were looking at a ghost. There are probably only a few people who dare to do this to Linghutian in Qingcheng Mountain. An elder and several top old disciples.
As for those who are not from Qingcheng Mountain, if they dare to attack the elder's son in Qingcheng Mountain, unless they are extremely powerful people who can bear the wrath of an elder from Qingcheng Mountain, no one who knows Qingcheng Mountain will do such a thing.
"Huh-you...you actually dare to hit our young master?!"
"Young Master! How are you?"
"Come here! Quickly arrest these four guys who injured Young Master Linghu!"
"There are assassins! There are assassins!"
All Linghutian's men who were originally surrounding the competition arena ran over at this time. Some believed that Guo Nan and the four men were here to assassinate Linghutian, and shouted that they should be arrested, while others were concerned. Linghu Tian was injured, so he wanted to show his courtesy so that he could go back and claim credit.
As for the new disciples who had been bullied by Ling Hutian before, their attitudes at this time were not consistent.
Some people were speculating on the identities of these four people, while others were gloating that Linghu Tian had received a beating.
"You...who are you?" Linghu Tian spat out a mouthful of blood and struggled to get up with the help of his men. His eyes were full of bloodshot eyes and he glared at Guo Nan.
I have always beaten others in Qingcheng Mountain. No one has beaten me. Even if I accidentally provoke an elder of the sect, my father will deal with it for him. At most, I will be beaten. Just say a few innocuous words.
However, today, this bad old man who didn't know where he came from actually dared to attack him on Qingcheng Mountain. This is a great shame and humiliation!
At this moment, a sound that broke through the air came.
Everyone looked back and saw a middle-aged man with gray hair and a face that was very similar to Linghutian coming out of the air and landing next to Linghutian.
This person is exactly
The father of Linghu Tian, Linghu Di.
As soon as Linghudi landed, he anxiously checked Linghutian's injuries, and hurriedly took out a bottle of extremely precious pills and poured a few pills for Linghutian to drink.
In just a few breaths, Linghu Tian suddenly came to life, sweeping away the fatigue and weakness he had felt before.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, you are so generous! This kind of three-death resurrection elixir can bring a warrior whose internal organs have been completely destroyed back from the edge of life and death. It ranks as a sixth-grade elixir, even if some top dignitaries suffer ordinary injuries. I was reluctant to use it, but you were so generous that you just gave it to this kid!" Guo Nan tutted at the side.
These words immediately caused Linghutian's group of younger brothers to stare at the jade bottle containing the Three-Death Resurrection Pill in Linghudi's hand.
Sixth grade elixir! If you take out any one and make a splash in the world, it will attract the envy of countless people.
That is to say, the Qingchengshan family has a great cause and was once a top sect. Otherwise, how could an ordinary sect be like Linghudi who gave sixth-grade elixirs to his son like jelly beans.
"It's hard for Prince Zhan to care. Although our Qingcheng Mountain is not as valuable as the prince's family, we will still give our children what we should give, and we don't want to see our sons being wronged." Linghudi said slowly.
"Your Majesty?!"
"From the founding of Emperor Jiang to the present, the imperial court has ennobled two princes. Both of them were given the throne by Emperor Jiang because of their outstanding military exploits. One is King Xiaoyao, who is now the Emperor of Zhou, and the other is Guo Nan. The people in Chang'an City called him "Old Prince" because of his old appearance. This made everyone ignorant of his original title. I also learned this by chance when I overheard a group of distinguished old people chatting on the street in Chang'an City. Know his title and fight!"
"Prince Zhan?!"
"This is the old prince Guo Nan in the imperial court who is now in charge of the government together with the left prime minister Chen Dong!!! Why did he come to our Qingcheng Mountain?!"
"Shh! Keep your voice down. I once heard several elders mention that this old prince comes to visit us in Qingcheng Mountain every spring, but usually he goes directly to the main hall on the top of the mountain to talk to the sect leader and several elders, so the disciples know Not many people came to him.”
These disciples looked at Guo Nan with shock and fear, wishing they could find a crack in the ground and crawl in to avoid suffering Guo Nan's wrath later.
"Dad! He was the one who hit me just now!" Linghutian pulled the corner of Linghudi's clothes and pointed at Guo Nan and said.
Listening to his son's complaint, Linghudi felt helpless and annoyed.
He was helpless because Guo Nan was powerful in the court, and his own strength was also extremely strong. He could not compare with the disciples that Linghu Tian would usually ask him to deal with. Even if he wanted to stand up for his son, he wanted to persuade him. It may be very difficult for people within the sect to support him.
As for the irritation, he was unable to do anything when his son was beaten. He could only look at his son's disappointed eyes. This feeling really made him extremely painful.
Among the self-blame for his son, there is also an unspeakable longing and guilt for his deceased wife.
"It would be too much for Prince Zhan to bully children in our Qingcheng Mountain..." Linghudi said with a sarcastic tone. Although he did not finish his words, the harshness in his words was really annoying.
After hearing this, Guo Nan immediately frowned and said to Linghudi, "Is this how you treat guests in Qingcheng Mountain? That really opened my eyes!"
"We at Qingcheng Mountain have always treated guests with courtesy, but we at Qingcheng Mountain will not be polite to those who are not guests and bully our Qingcheng Mountain disciples." Linghudi said coldly.
After hearing this, Guo Nan laughed angrily and said, "You tell me, you don't welcome me in Qingcheng Mountain?"
Linghudi said, "Qingcheng Mountain does not refuse anyone to visit, but I don't think it is necessary to treat those who come with bad intentions."
"The person who came here is not a good person? Haha, I think it's because the person who is kind is not coming! Is this Qingcheng Mountain? Before, I was thinking that your Qingcheng Mountain is aging little by little and being eliminated by the times little by little. I can't bear to see you like this. , and I was wondering if I could give you a hand.
, now it seems that you are all to blame for all this, and it is all your own self-destruction. Haha, it seems like I am being too sentimental! "Guo Nan said in a cold tone. He was almost completely disappointed with Qingcheng Mountain. The Qingcheng Mountain at the moment was so unfamiliar.
To Qingcheng Mountain, this group of people headed by Linghu Di were like lice under the cheongsam of a middle-aged lady, dirty and ugly.
"We in Qingcheng Mountain don't need outsiders to save us. Even if we go to destruction, we can only destroy it in our own hands. We don't need outsiders to pronounce our doom!" Linghudi shouted loudly, his face already filled with excitement. Flushing.
Perhaps for him, the destruction of Qingcheng Mountain was not enough to shake his priority of pampering and protecting his son.
Of course, this may also be the unanimous thought of many elders in the sect.
The decline of Qingcheng Mountain has been going on for too long, just like an extremely large and ancient ship that hit an indestructible rock called the times and sank with a silence as firm as death.
This process was so long that even the people on the ship had given up on saving themselves, and began to numb themselves by appreciating the beauty of the sunset over and over again, and finally integrated themselves into the afterglow of the setting sun. , falling into eternal silence with the ship.
When Linghudi and Guo Nan were arguing with each other, a hand suddenly placed on Linghudi's shoulder, making him tremble.
"Okay, why are you making so much noise in a pure place?"
Sima Nan suddenly appeared behind Linghu Di with slow steps.
Linghudi gritted his teeth and finally said nothing more.
"Do you know what's going on here?" Guo Nan asked. He neither said what was going on here nor what he was going to do, it was just a simple question.
It was this seemingly simple question that made Sima Nan hesitate.
Maybe Guo Nan still wants to give Sima Nan another chance and give Qingcheng Mountain a chance. If this opportunity is lost, I am afraid Guo Nan will be completely disappointed in Qingcheng Mountain and will no longer have any nostalgia for it.
In March every year, there will be one less pilgrim visiting the mountain.
"Well...can I not speak?" Sima Nan said after thinking for a long time.
"Yes, you can choose to be silent, but if you choose to be silent now, then you'd better remain silent forever and wait for the day when Qingcheng Mountain will be destroyed! I can imagine that that day is not far away!" Guo Nan said coldly.
Sima Nan sighed and said, "After three years of learning, I will speak arrogant words. After three more years of learning, I will not dare to speak nonsense. After another three years of learning, I will be silent. After three more years, I will not need to speak much. After another three years, I will be silent. Speechless. In three more years, there will be no words."
"Haha, since I haven't even said anything, is there any need to practice this Tao? I have to say that it is really ridiculous to maintain your crumbling golden signboard of Qingcheng Mountain in such a lingering way! It's really ridiculous! "Guo Nan looked up to the sky and sighed, closing his eyes, as if he didn't want to take another look at Qingcheng Mountain.
"I remember that there was a Daozi in Qingcheng Mountain. That kid seemed to have gone to Yuzhou before. What about now? Where did he go?" Guo Nan asked.
Sima Nan shook his head and said, "He has been removed from Qingcheng Mountain and is no longer a disciple of Qingcheng Mountain."
Guo Nan swallowed and frowned.
"She is now our Taoist Master in Qingcheng Mountain." Sima Nan led a pretty girl out from behind.
It's that joy.
At this time, Liao Le is no longer the lively and immature girl she used to be. Her heroic aura and beautiful and generous appearance make her look very mature.
Guo Nan raised his eyes and took a look, then shook his head and said, "The aura is exposed and the sharp edge is fully displayed. It is difficult to help the great cause. It will have to be hidden for another two years!"
A trace of disappointment flashed across Liao Le's face, and the expressions of admiration and expectation on the faces of the surrounding disciples also dimmed a bit.
Sima Nan pondered for a moment, and finally pulled Le Le back behind him.
