Zhao Yuzhen, however, had a different opinion: "Although my senior brother is lazy, he is first-rate at teaching his disciples."
My senior brother wouldn't be so secretive.
Zhou Zhenhuan glanced at him: "Now you even know how to use reverse psychology."
"Hehe, after all, you are my own junior brother and senior apprentice. To be honest, I have always been very grateful to you."
Without you, Hanyi and I probably wouldn't have made it this far.
"Ouch, senior brother, why did you hit me?"
Zhao Yuzhen's eyes are finally symmetrical.
"A bitch is just being pretentious."
It's already dawn, hurry back home. I'll be going back to the mountain soon too.
Zhao Yuzhen put away her playful mood and solemnly thanked Zhou Huanzhen.
Li Hanyi had already packed her bags.
There wasn't much to pack, she just took a few clothes she had made herself.
"Senior brother, we'll be waiting for you to come back on the mountain." She bowed gracefully to Zhou Huanzhen.
Zhou Zhenhuan smiled and nodded: "Take care of yourself and go back."
Zhao Yuzhen, carrying Li Hanyi, soared into the sky, and soon a sword light disappeared into the horizon.
Within the Southern Jue territory, someone spotted the sword light, hesitated briefly, and then quickly disappeared.
"Dao Jianxian has left Zizai City and his whereabouts are unknown."
"Oh? Then send two people to stop them."
Before he could finish speaking, a bolt of divine lightning struck down silently from the sky.
A charred, deep pit appeared on the ground, with no trace of any living person remaining.
Zhou Huanzhen's eyes seemed to hold a changing landscape, and he sneered, "Do you really think I'm dead? I don't care what you want to do, but if you've set your sights on my Qingcheng Mountain, then don't blame me for being ruthless."
Xie Zhi yawned and plopped down next to him.
"Isn't this going too far? Is it even worth using this divine lightning?"
Zhou Zhenhuan calmly said, "Because this is already my least powerful method. I can't just slap them a few times, it would be beneath my dignity, and they wouldn't be able to withstand it. This is more convenient."
Xie Zhize: ...
Suddenly I just didn't want to talk to him.
But Xie Zhize also understood that what Zhou Zhenhuan said was very likely true.
"You've found a solution?"
Xie Zhi also understood that Zhou Zhen wouldn't have appeared here if there wasn't a complete solution.
After all, Luo Qingyang had been silent ever since he killed four immortals from beyond the realm.
Before they figure out Luo Qingyang's background, they won't send anyone down from the sky.
After all, if one of the structures on the banks of the Tongtian River had broken, someone would have gone back to report the news.
But now, the man who reported the news, Gou Daoren, has been stewed into a pot of dog meat.
These four people died silently, and the higher-ups are probably still waiting for news of them.
So there shouldn't be any danger for the time being.
But this is only a temporary solution.
Zhou Huanzhen pulled a paper figure out of his sleeve, which startled Xie Zhi, who quickly left Zhou Huanzhen's side.
He stared in shock at the paper figure that had been dyed black.
"A Heavenly Demon? You actually brought that thing with you?"
Even someone as powerful as Xie Zhize kept his distance from this thing.
After all, no one can guarantee when their mindset will falter.
The title of "immortal" is just that; at its core, one is still human. As a human, one has emotions and desires, and it is difficult to guarantee that one will not be taken advantage of by inner demons.
"Don't worry, you should have more confidence in my methods."
Didn't you just ask me if there was a way?
That's the solution.
I plan to put this thing inside this door, to act as a doorman.
Anyone who wishes to descend must undergo a baptism by the Heavenly Demon.
Xie Zhi gasped; this method was truly too insidious.
He gave a thumbs up: "You're the only one who can do this. I knew you weren't a good person all along. This method is something most people wouldn't be able to use."
Zhou Zhen didn't take it to heart: "I'll take it as a compliment."
Xie Zhi has guarded this place for over a century, which is admirable from any perspective.
"I have a Taoist method called Heavenly Inquiry."
I discovered that this Taoist technique, when combined with the Heavenly Demon, can unleash tremendous power.
Using the Heavenly Dao as the foundation, sealing the Southern Heavenly Gate for a hundred years shouldn't be a problem. Anyone who comes here will first have to question the meaning of life; if they can pass through without falling into demonic possession, then they will be considered truly capable.
With the southern border now peaceful, Senior Xie can finally go out and explore.
Xie Zhi smiled broadly, while also silently mourning for those guys in the sky.
The methods they've used this week alone are enough to make people uncomfortable, not to mention the Heavenly Demon who can control one's mind and emotions. Tsk, this is going to be tough.
"I misspoke just now. You are the kindest person in the world."
Zhou Zhenhuan chuckled: "You're really pragmatic. But speaking of which, where are you planning to go?"
If you have nothing to do, I'll invite you to a brothel later.
Xie Zhi sternly rejected this, saying, "I never expected that a dignified and virtuous cultivator, a contemporary immortal, would be so morally corrupt."
Do you think I, Lao Xie, would go to a brothel?
I need three; you pay me.
Zhou Zhenhuan shook his head: "I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to handle even one of them. How about I find you a Heavenly Demoness?"
Xie Zhi considered it seriously for a while before slowly nodding: "Is it pretty?"
"Of course, although the Heavenly Demons are formless and shapeless, when they transform into human form, every woman is exceptionally beautiful. It's just that men can't look at them; their aesthetic sense is extremely polarized."
"That doesn't matter, I don't like men anyway. Hey, I've never actually tasted the flavor of a Heavenly Demoness."
Isn't that making Old Xie even more powerful than Buddha?
"The Buddha probably wouldn't agree to what you're saying."
Xie Zhi waved his hand dismissively: "Who cares? As long as I'm happy. When do we set off?"
"It will take until I finish my work, it won't be long."
Should we bring Lao Luo along?
Luo Qingyang came out of the room and spat at Zhou Zhenhuan.
"A disgrace to civility! I am ashamed to associate with him."
In my heart, only my junior sister is the most beautiful person in the world.
Chapter 186 Getting into Trouble
"Girl, how is he? Is there any hope of saving him?"
Li Suwang looked at Lan Yuehou, who was lying on the bed with a pale face, with a worried expression.
Hua Jin looked solemn, and with lightning speed, afterimages appeared as silver needles rapidly appeared on Lan Yuehou's body.
"Oh dear, please don't make things worse here. Go and prepare some food to replenish my qi and blood. With me here, he won't die."
Upon hearing this, Li Suwang breathed a sigh of relief: "Very well, I'll have someone prepare it right away."
This is the Golden-Clad Orchid Moon Marquis! If he dies in the Sword Heart Tomb, this will be a huge problem.
Although Kenshinzuka is not afraid, it is very troublesome.
Lan Yuehou was pursued by assassins from Bai Yujing all the way from Dongsang to Beili.
Lan Yuehou was quite strong, but the assassins never gave him a chance to catch his breath.
It was already a stroke of luck that they were able to escape to the territory of the Sword Heart Tomb.
After inserting the last needle, Hua Jin wiped the sweat from her forehead.
It's hard to imagine that someone injured like that is still alive.
"It's fortunate that you met me at this time; if it had been earlier, it probably wouldn't have been possible."
Hua Jin muttered something, feeling even more grateful to Zhou Zhen. Now, with the in-depth research into the resurrection technique, she discovered that many problems could be easily solved with the help of this technique, making things exceptionally simple.
Not long after, Li Suwang returned, his expression even more serious.
"It seems that I, Kenshinzuka, am in big trouble."
Hua Jin was slightly taken aback: "What's wrong? Have the people chasing them come to our door?"
Li Suwang nodded: "That's right. The formation of the Sword Heart Tomb has been triggered."
I just went to check it out, and the people who came are all very powerful.
It's strange that such a skilled fighter has no reputation in the martial arts world.
Who could possibly find so many experts at once?
"Is it very high?"
Hua Jin also became nervous.
Li Suwang sighed: "Very high. This old man can still handle two, but I'm afraid others might not be able to."
"Then neither are Minghou Yueji and the others?"
Li Suwang paused for a moment: "Although Minghou has entered the Free and Unfettered Heaven Realm, Yueji has never been able to break through. Even though both of them are in the Free and Unfettered Heaven Realm, they haven't even reached the Soaring Realm yet, so I'm afraid they are no match for him."
Since Minghou Yueji arrived at the Sword Heart Tomb, Zhou Zhenhuan seems to have no intention of letting them leave again.
Life was peaceful and quiet.
Minghou followed along to learn sword forging, while Yueji followed Li Suwang to practice swordsmanship. In her spare time, she studied medicine with Huajin.
Perhaps they were tired of the intrigues and conflicts of the martial world, so their cultivation levels did not improve much.
Sword Heart Tomb is like a paradise, isolating it from all the bloodshed and turmoil of the martial world.
Even so, these two are still considered masters in the martial arts world.
After all, they are very good at killing.
When Hua Jin heard that even the two of them couldn't do it, she was genuinely surprised: "That strong?"
"That's why I said I'm in trouble."
Hua Jin was at a loss for words. This was the dignified Marquis of Jinyi Lanyue, the emperor's most beloved younger brother.
Who on earth has the audacity to want to take this person's life?
"Then, can they break through the formation?"
Li Suwang was quite confident about this. He stroked his beard and shook his head: "I'm afraid it won't work. That Qimen formation has been reinforced by that carefree immortal."
Upon hearing this, Hua Jin glared at Li Suwang with annoyance: "Can you please not speak so frighteningly?"
The formation that Old Zhou reinforced is probably unbreakable by anyone but himself.
Li Suwang was both amused and exasperated: "Girl, silly girl. Yes, they can't break through, but we can't get out either."
You can only commit a thief in a thousand days, but there is no way to guard against a thief in a thousand days.
