Chapter 55 Honorary Elder of Jiyun Society
When Li Cunzhen returned to the stage.
On the stage, a young man with a buzz cut and wearing a jacket and a short young man with a bulbous nose were about to determine the winner.
It was Feng Tianyang and Liao Tianlin.
The former's lineage came from the Liangshan Dasha, whose main methods were raising and commanding ghosts, and he also knew some witchcraft.
Of course, the ghosts here do not refer to the souls of the dead.
Instead, they are monsters and spirits that grow naturally in the world.
The soldiers and horses that descend to the altar in Taoist guardian deities are actually the same thing, just with different names.
Li Cunzhen looked up at the stage and saw Feng Tianyang's hands flying, casting out several talismans.
In an instant.
More than a dozen spirits of various shapes and sizes suddenly appeared. Some were incomplete spirits, while others seemed to still have physical bodies. They gathered around Feng Tianyang and, at his command, attacked Liao Tianlin.
Liao Tianlin used a technique that reversed the direction of the attack, unleashing a series of force fields, each capable of nearly shattering the spirit.
Every fifteen minutes or so, he could suddenly unleash physical speed and power that rivaled even those who had achieved a minor level of mastery in external martial arts, causing Feng Tianyang considerable trouble.
However, there are too many Pokémon, and many of them can recover after being scattered.
Liao Tianlin ultimately couldn't fight off four opponents and was defeated.
Li Cunzhen was not surprised by this result.
Although Liao Tianlin used Ghost Hand King and his own improved version of Reversal of Eight Directions, his strength was much greater than that of the same period in the original work.
However, Feng Tianyang was one of the eight people who eventually mastered the Eight Extraordinary Techniques, and Liao Tianlin's original strength was not particularly outstanding among the Thirty-Six Thieves.
That's not bad for a team.
In fact, Liao Tianlin's performance was not just good.
Instead, it has already shocked many of the older generation.
It is important to know that Jiyun Society has a long history, dating back to the Southern Song Dynasty.
However, it has never been known for its combat prowess.
The techniques within the sect are mostly designed for magic tricks.
But Liao Tianlin's performance just now, whether it was that strange force field or the sudden burst of physical strength, far exceeded everyone's expectations.
Moreover, how come this method is so similar to the one used by Li Muxuan of the Sanyi Sect before?
A glint flashed in the eyes of the elders, who wanted to ask but hesitated to speak.
After all, this is a somewhat sensitive issue.
The leader of the Jiyun Society noticed the gazes around him and smiled slightly.
Since he was attending the Lu family's birthday banquet this time, and allowed Liao Tianlin to go on stage and show off his skills, he was doing so.
Of course, there was no concealment of the idea of turning things upside down.
However, some conditions are still missing.
Just then.
After Liao Tianlin stepped down, he returned to his seat, followed by Li Cunzhen, who wanted to confirm his official status.
After the two arrived at the side of the leader of the Jiyun Society.
Li Cunzhen was about to speak.
The leader of the Jiyun Society recognized him and spoke first.
"Master Li Cunzhen?! Come quickly, you are a great benefactor of my Jiyun Society!"
Liao Tianlin was taken aback upon hearing this.
He was unaware that someone had been following him all along.
The young man, who had cultivated the ability to reverse the eight directions for three years after hearing the name Li Cunzhen, slowly turned around.
He looked at Li Cunzhen, who was only a teenager, and shifted his body as if he wanted to do something, but hesitated and did not do it.
Seeing this, the leader of the Jiyun Society patted him on the shoulder.
Liao Tianlin finally bent down and bowed in respect.
"Disciple Liao Tianlin greets Elder Li."
Upon hearing this, Li Cunzhen's eyelids twitched violently.
Elder?
Who? Me?
real or fake?
He was still in a daze when the leader of Jiyun Society explained.
"Master Li, Elder Wang has told us everything about you. Without you, the Reversal of Eight Directions would not have its current power. Everyone in the Jiyun Society has benefited from you."
"Therefore, we have taken the liberty of enshrining you as an honorary elder of our Jiyun Society in the Ancestral Hall!"
As if worried that Li Cunzhen would not accept, the leader of Jiyun Society added.
"Don't worry, you're just an honorary elder; it won't affect your continued cultivation at the Trinity Sect."
Li Cunzhen was stunned again.
It sounds reasonable, but it's a bit too sudden!
How did you become an elder?
He opened his mouth, intending to decline, but upon closer reflection, he realized that he had indeed brought quite a few benefits to the Jiyun Society.
And the Jiyun Society showed him no kindness whatsoever.
I couldn't even find a suitable reason to refuse.
Finally, Li Cunzhen could only awkwardly help Liao Tianlin up and wave his hand.
"Fine, call me whatever you like."
Liao Tianlin was also a little embarrassed. After being helped up, he quickly ran to a distance.
Then, Li Cunzhen looked at the leader of the Jiyun Society.
"Senior, I'm bothering you today because there's something I'd like to confirm with the Jiyun Society, regarding the matter of 'Turning the Eight Directions'..."
Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the leader of the Jiyun Society.
"Hey, you're an elder of my Jiyun Society, and you're of the same generation as me, the sect leader. Why call me senior? My name has 'Yun' in it, so if you'd like, you can just call me Brother Yun."
Li Cunzhen had no choice but to change his mind.
He then explained his purpose to the leader of the Jiyun Society.
The leader of Jiyun Society readily agreed.
Furthermore, he stated that Li Cunzhen could pass on the "Reversing Eight Directions" technique to others, but the person who passes it on could not pass it on any further, and the identity of the person who passes it on to Jiyun Society must be revealed.
Li Cunzhen nodded in agreement.
Just when he thought the matter was over.
The leader of Jiyun Society suddenly looked at Li Cunzhen with burning eyes and spoke again.
"Elder Wang was once a member of Quanxing. Although he has reformed and turned over a new leaf, some people in the martial arts world still don't know him. Since it's Grandpa Lu's birthday and everyone is here, I wanted to clear his name."
"This is just empty talk; it's just the word of our Jiyun Society, and some people may not believe it, so..."
"Look... could you and Immortal Daying be our witnesses?"
Now Li Cunzhen understood why the leader of Jiyun Society had been so enthusiastic towards him.
So they came here specifically to take advantage of their master.
They wanted to use Zuo Ruotong's reputation to help Wang Yaozu clear his name.
He frowned and asked.
"From what you're saying, Sect Leader, does that mean if my master and I don't help with this, I won't be able to use the 'Reversing the Eight Directions' technique?"
Upon hearing this, the leader of the Jiyun Society waved his hand repeatedly.
"No, no, one thing at a time. Elder Li has done my Jiyun Society a great favor, and I am by no means an ungrateful person."
After saying that, he added sincerely.
"I should have taken the initiative to see you, but Elder Wang was still on his way due to some matters. I was thinking of waiting for him to arrive so we could see you together, but I didn't expect you to come first."
"Don't worry, whether you and Master Zuo are willing to come forward or not, I will announce this before the birthday banquet ends."
Li Cunzhen nodded upon hearing this.
He realized that the leader of the Jiyun Society really wanted to use Zuo Ruotong's reputation to clear Wang Yaozu's name and give the Jiyun Society another grandmaster-level expert.
The gratitude towards oneself is genuine.
He is not the kind of ingrate who would treat Zuo Ruotong as an enemy if she didn't come forward to testify.
Thinking about this...
He said to the leader of the Jiyun Society.
"I will pass this message on to Master. Whether he is willing or not is his business."
The leader of Jiyun Society dared not insist and nodded repeatedly.
"Of course, of course!"
