The second dive was probably stimulated by the words "your face is so ugly". She uttered a wailing sound and covered her veil even tighter.
Liu Yanbai hugged the second dive tightly and drew out the Moyun Sword. "Hua Tingxuan, don't go too far!"
Hua Tingxuan was standing behind Chu Danfeng, his eyebrows raised, and the Xuanshui Sword on his back was also eager to move, as if ready for battle, but Chu Danfeng took the lead and drew out his life-saving bamboo fan, which he spread out suddenly to protect his sixth junior brother. He put his other hand behind his back, straightened his back, and was on guard. He narrowed his eyes slightly and said coldly, "Liu Yanbai, don't go too far!"
Hua Tingxuan, who was protected by his junior brother: "!"
Hua Tingxuan immediately stopped glaring at Liu Yanbai, and the Xuanshui Sword behind him also fell silent. He obediently and weakly held Chu Danfeng's arm, and said in a clear voice, "Junior Brother, Xuan'er is scared."
"… …" Liu Yanbai stared at Hua Tingxuan, who was tightly holding Chu Danfeng's arm and gently stroking his hand. His eyes jumped violently. For some reason, he felt that this scene made him more angry than the second Qian's injury. The Moyun Sword in his hand clanged and he blurted out: "Hua Tingxuan, you... are so shameless!"
"Junior Brother Liu!" Meng Cangyu finally couldn't stand it anymore and said sternly, "If you want justice, you should explain the matter clearly. Do you have to fight in front of the elders?"
Liu Yanbai was startled, then he put away his sword in dismay, put the second Qian aside, and bowed to Meng Cangyu to apologize: "It was my fault for being reckless. I didn't mean to offend my uncle, but Junior Brother Hua's behavior was perverse and his methods were cruel. How can I tolerate this?!"
Meng Cangyu glanced over and saw the "violent and cruel" sixth disciple standing beside Xiao Wu with his head lowered. He stretched out a hand and gently brushed away a colorful butterfly that landed on Chu Danfeng's shoulder, being attentive and gentle.
Meng Cangyu: “…” No matter how you look at it, it seems like the kid surnamed Bai is wrongly accusing his own disciple.
Moreover, Xiaoliu had just won the first prize in the sword drawing competition, and was fiercely criticized by others. As a master, how could he feel comfortable? But now everyone in Wangjianpo was listening to their movements with pricked ears. He couldn't take advantage of his status as an elder to get angry, so he could only suppress his anger and ordered in a deep voice: "Xiaoliu, you speak."
Perhaps it was because the Xuanshui Sword had just been unsheathed and had really shattered the mountain protection formation, and many colorful little demon butterflies came out and were flying around in the air.
Hua Tingxuan dragged his feet and chased away two butterflies for Chu Danfeng before he stepped out and said politely, "Master, I have never seen that ugly bastard."
Second dive: “…”
Liu Yanbai: "You!"
When Hua Tingxuan faced Liu Yanbai, his gentle temperament instantly disappeared, and his phoenix eyes swept across him, with a sharp and fierce look in his eyes.
"..." Liu Yanbai was so overwhelmed by Hua Tingxuan's aura that he dared not speak for a moment. When he realized, 'He's just a kid of seventeen or eighteen, why should I be afraid?', he felt that arguing with a kid would damage his image as the first disciple of Zhenyu Peak, so he could only hold his breath and say, "I won't argue with you. When I went into the mountains to save people, Qian was already dying. If I hadn't treated him in time, he would probably... He personally pointed out that you tortured him to this point. Hua Tingxuan, if you are a man, you will dare to take the consequences!"
Liu Yanbai's series of words were so confident and aggressive that Chu Danfeng frowned and became more and more worried about his own child. This child had been raised too obediently in this life. With such a big pot put on his head and being forced by Liu Yanbai, he must be scared. Don't let others trick him and admit the crime without knowing it!
But the facts prove that the male protagonist is the male protagonist and he is still reliable at critical moments.
Hua Tingxuan ignored Liu Yanbai's provocation and asked in detail: "Excuse me, Senior Brother Liu, when and where did you find this person injured? How did you find out? You said I hurt him, do you have any evidence?"
Liu Yanbai snorted, "About a cup of tea ago, halfway up the mountain, it was because he sent out a distress signal - his sound transmission jade disc was connected to mine... As for the evidence, there was no one else around, and A Qian was the witness. He told me in person that you tortured him for two or three hours."
Hua Tingxuan: "That is to say, there is no witness."
Liu Yanbai: “…”
"I do have witnesses. Everyone on Wangjianpo and Wanjian Peak can testify for me," Hua Tingxuan said, "When he got into trouble halfway up the mountain, I was at the top of the mountain drawing my sword."
Senior Brother Zhou Yuanshan stepped forward to agree: "Yes, everyone saw the flash of the Xuanshui Sword. This cannot be faked."
Ye Bailu: "Yeah, how can he hurt anyone?"
Liu Yanbai was stunned by the question: "This..."
At this point, the truth should be revealed. Meng Cangyu waved his sleeves and said, "Nephew Liu, do you have anything else to say?"
Liu Yanbai recalled that when he rescued someone just now, he did feel the ground shaking and saw the sword energy rising into the sky. Could it really not be Hua Tingxuan? But the curses and oaths that Di Erqian kept saying did not seem to be lying... In any case, now that the evidence is solid, he has no way to defend himself.
Liu Yanbai's face turned pale and blue, and finally he gritted his teeth and bowed deeply to Meng Cangyu: "It was Yanbai who was reckless. It was really because A Qian was injured like this that I was anxious and angry and lost my judgment. It was all my fault. Yanbai apologizes to Uncle Meng."
At this time, the inner and outer disciples, elders and peak masters who were listening to the gossip with their ears perked up were still paying attention. As an elder, Meng Cangyu naturally couldn't be too harsh on his nephew's apology, so he waved his hand and said, "Forget it, go ahead."
Liu Yanbai turned around to help the second diver who was wrapped like a dumpling.
Just when everyone thought that the matter was about to be easily exposed, Chu Danfeng, who had been silent, suddenly said loudly: "Wait! You are relying on my master's magnanimity and unwillingness to argue with you. You want to make a fuss and leave after making a fuss. How can it be so easy?"
Including Meng Cangyu, everyone in Lixu Peak looked at Chu Danfeng in surprise.
You know, their fifth senior brother has become increasingly lazy over the years. He would rather sit than lie down and would rather keep his mouth shut. He has adhered to the life creed of 'less is more' to the end. He even doesn't bother to refute some rumors about himself - such as 'Senior Brother Chu from Lixu Peak loves to hang out in Qinlou and Chuguan' - but today, for the sake of his junior brother, he actually took the initiative to confront the first disciple of Zhenyu Peak head-on.
Liu Yanbai gritted his teeth and said, "Then what are you going to do?"
Chu Danfeng: "Apologize to Xuan'er, just like when you slandered my junior brother just now, and use the Lion's Roar to announce it to the world!"
Hua Tingxuan: “!!”
He had deliberately shown weakness before, half to disgust Liu Yanbai and half to act coquettishly with Chu Danfeng, but he never expected that his senior brother would protect him to such an extent. Hua Tingxuan was filled with sweetness and joy, but at the same time, he felt a sense of uneasiness and guilt.
He had lied about all this after all. Chu Danfeng didn't know that he was pretending to be weak, nor did he know that he was also a reborn person.
But, but this feeling of being loved by my junior brother is really great.
Hua Tingxuan felt mixed emotions, and this time he was really at a loss for words, and he said hesitantly: "Little Senior Brother..."
Chu Danfeng waved his hand, "Don't interrupt!"
Tsk, this child is still so honest and well-behaved, but he has to think of things that the child cannot think of.
It is said that "gossip can melt gold, and repeated criticism can destroy bones". Hua Tingxuan is different from me, who only wants to stay in the Shuangji Sect for retirement. He will travel the world and unify the three realms in the future. How can he leave such a "black history"? As the saying goes, "it takes only one mouth to spread rumors, but it takes a lot of effort to refute them". It is better not to leave any trouble for the future, and solve it cleanly and neatly on the spot.
Not only Chu Danfeng, but also the eldest senior brother Zhou Yuanshan and the second senior sister Ye Bailu joined the attacking camp. Meng Cangyu acted like an expert and did not stop them.
"..." Liu Yanbai finally had no choice but to apologize again in front of everyone using the Lion Roar Technique, then turned around and walked away with a gloomy face, and could hear whispers around him as he walked.
"It turned out to be a huge mistake. I don't know what kind of damage the second diver suffered that was worth such a big fuss."
"I don't know. We were standing too far away, and I'm not proficient in the art of clairvoyance. I only used my spiritual sense to hear the general idea."
"No matter what, it's embarrassing to lose more than you gain."
"Why did they wrongly accuse Hua Tingxuan?"
"I guess Zhenyu Peak is really angry. They celebrated for Liu Yanbai in the last sword drawing competition, but who would have thought that Chu Danfeng would steal the limelight? This year, they have created enough momentum for Di Erqian, and Hua Tingxuan, a dark horse, has emerged. If I were Liu Yanbai, I might also cause some trouble for Lixu Peak."
"You can't judge a person by his appearance. Senior Brother Liu looks so upright and honest on weekdays, but I didn't expect that he is also a narrow-minded person!"
"Let alone anything else, using the Lion's Roar to publicly apologize... This is really embarrassing."
The more Liu Yanbai listened, the darker his face became. He wished he could cover his face with a veil. As the first disciple of Zhenyu Peak, he had always been very glorious in front of others. How could he lose face like this? Thinking about the result today, which was all caused by the second person's false accusation, he even lost most of his sympathy for the people around him.
However, before he could complain, the second Qian got angry first: "Brother Liu! Why don't you seek justice for me? If you make it known to the world, won't everyone think I'm being unreasonable? What should I do with my revenge!"
Liu Yanbai said irritably: "They have irrefutable evidence, what can I do? You also know the restrictions of Wanjian Peak. You can't teleport before you draw your sword... Are you sure you are not dazzled?"
The second dive cried, "How is it possible? He tortured me like that, he... is simply not a human! I will never forget him even if I become a ghost!"
As he spoke, he actually lifted his veil. "This is all his work! How can I know what kind of magic he used and how he could draw a sword at the same time?"
To be honest, when Liu Yanbai first saw Ah Qian’s face covered in blood, he felt pity and distress, but when he looked at it again, the hideous wound made him horrified and disgusted. Liu Yanbai turned his face away and said, “Alright, now that things have come to this, stop making trouble.”
But the second diver, who had been relatively calm from the beginning to the end, suddenly became emotional because of his turning away: "Liu Yanbai! Look at me! Is my face scaring you? Even you... I thought you were different!"
His shrill scream immediately attracted the attention of the people around him. The last thing Liu Yanbai wanted was to be noticed, so he shouted in a low voice: "A Qian, shut up!"
"You actually told me to shut up?" The second dive covered his face again and screamed in disbelief, "You were never mean to me before! You disliked my disfigurement, and... and, you saw that slut named Chu again today! I knew you still had him in your heart—"
Liu Yanbai couldn't believe that the usually obedient and cute Ah Qian was so hideous when he went crazy. He shouted, "What does this have to do with Dan Feng? Second Qian, are you crazy?"
"Yes, I'm crazy!" Di Erqian was really hysterical this time, pulling his sleeve, "Go back and settle the score with the two brothers surnamed Chu now, or I'll go crazy and show you!"
Liu Yanbai was concerned about not making a big fuss, and he knew that Di Er Qian's cultivation was completely wasted, so he didn't use any spiritual power in the struggle. However, he didn't expect that he would be scratched on the face by him due to his carelessness, and his waist also felt lightened.
It’s the Mo Yun Sword!
The second Qian didn't know where he got the strength from, but he raised his sword and rushed towards Li Xufeng's Pegasus carriage.
Liu Yanbai was still far from reaching the state of unity between man and sword, and was unable to summon his natal sword from a distance, so he had to snatch it with his bare hands.
However, there were so many people on Wangjianpo that Liu Yanbai was restrained and did not dare to use too much spiritual power, but he had no scruples in his second dive.
As luck would have it, after a period of chaos, he actually rushed in front of Chu Danfeng.
At that time, Meng Cangyu was being congratulated by several peak masters and elders. He was smiling and chatting with everyone by Hua Tingxuan. Zhou Yuanshan and Ye Bailu were accompanying him on one side. Only Chu Danfeng, who was skilled in slacking off, was hiding behind the Pegasus carriage alone.
The second dive was when he was holding the Mo Yun Sword, like a madman, determined to die together with Chu Danfeng.
Something unexpected happened.
Chu Danfeng was chewing a candied green plum happily when he suddenly felt a violent sword force coming at him.
"!!!"
However, after Chu Danfeng had melted his elixir, he was able to absorb spiritual energy from heaven and earth while breathing. Even though he was not very diligent, his cultivation was much more advanced than when he had split the mountain protection formation with one fan.
He dodged the sword perfectly, almost as if it were a conditioned reflex.
Although the second dive had no spiritual power, Mo Yun was a spiritual sword ranked in the top 100 of Wanjian Peak, and its power should not be underestimated. When the sword swept past, sand and rocks flew everywhere. It did not hurt Chu Danfeng, but it did frighten the horse.
When he missed his first strike, he wanted to try again and opened his mouth angrily. However, as soon as he cursed the word "slut", the frightened Pegasus stepped on his chest, and his veil was shaken.
Immediately afterwards, Liu Yanbai, who was following behind, just pushed through the crowd and felt a darkness in front of his eyes. The herd of Pegasus actually rushed straight towards him.
Chu Danfeng: “… !!” What the hell
Is this some kind of retribution in this life? Liu Yanbai actually rushed to him and was trampled by a horse. Pegasus is the strongest, and the physical strength of one horse is comparable to that of hundreds of strength cultivators. That kick, Tsk tsk tsk, Chu Danfeng felt pain just watching it.
The Pegasus stomped on the two of them violently, and in just a few breaths, it spread its wings and flew towards the Wanjian Peak barrier!
Chu Danfeng: “!!” Not good! These flying horses were frightened and lost their aim. They disturbed the disciples who were participating in the sword-drawing competition in the peak, or trampled on others. It was no joke.
Meng Cangyu also noticed this side, and hurriedly waved his hand to set up a barrier to protect the innocent disciples on one side. Seeing Chu Danfeng who was closest to the flying horse, he called out, "Xiao Wu!"
However, before Meng Cangyu gave any instructions, Chu Danfeng blew a whistle, and a large water blue bird came roaring from afar.
Chu Danfeng jumped onto the bird, and the Bifang let out a long cry, spread its wings and chased after it.
However, the Pegasus still crashed into the mountain protection formation, causing an earthquake and the barrier to shatter into a hole more than ten feet wide!
Everyone exclaimed - you know, the barrier of Wanjian Peak is unbreakable. The Sword Drawing Competition is held every twelve years when it is the weakest. Only elders above the Nascent Soul stage or those at the peak of the Golden Core stage who have just seized the spirit sword can barely tear open a crack that allows people to pass. This is why Chu Danfeng became famous for shattering the mountain protection formation in one fell swoop twelve years ago.
But now, can Pegasus alone break through the barrier of Wanjian Peak
"Could it be that the rumors are true, and the barrier is not as stable as before?"
"So, Didi Qian using his disciple sword to split the barrier doesn't seem to be a big deal? There are actually people who compare him to Chu Danfeng."
"… "
After the Pegasus broke through the barrier, it was still charging forward. The spirit swords on the mountainside were actually shaking, making clanging sounds as if they were about to move.
Chu Danfeng intuitively felt that the fighting spirit of the swords this time was different from the one he had inspired when he drew his sword. It was more like a drive or a threat. Could it be that the mountain protection formation was broken by the flying horse and angered the spirit swords
He didn't expect these Pegasus to be so powerful, and he didn't expect the mountain protection formation to be so fragile now! But Chu Danfeng didn't have time to think about it. The most urgent task was to pull back several batches of Pegasus.
Chu Danfeng sat on the back of the Bifang bird, gathered all his spiritual power, and waved his folding fan. A gust of wind temporarily suppressed the spiritual swords to prevent the flying horses from getting out of control again. Then he held the reins with one hand, silently chanted the magic formula, summoned all the true energy in his body, and fought against the five mad flying horses with his own strength.
Spiritual currents surged between the man and five horses, and the gap in the mountain protection formation continued to expand at a speed visible to the naked eye. It seemed that someone was coming on a sword, and voices gradually became noisier in his ears, as if several spiritual swords had broken through their restraints and soared into the sky, entangled with others, and as if someone was always protecting him by his side, blocking the sword beams that were rolling across the sky and the earth for him. However, Chu Danfeng had no time to take care of them, and all his spiritual power was focused on the flying horse and the group of spiritual swords under his feet.
The situation must be controlled, Chu Danfeng thought, if the spiritual swords of Wanjian Peak go out of control, how many innocent people will be injured
Over the years, his cultivation basically relied on the power of the demon pill to freely breathe in the essence of the sun and the moon, and he seldom used spiritual power. When he did use it, he had to deal with a scene of this level. Chu Danfeng felt that he was almost reaching his limit and even had auditory hallucinations.
It was as if he heard the long-lost system sound that had parted ways with him since the beginning of this life.
"Host, this is the body you earned with so much hardship. Aren't you afraid of using too much force and damaging it?"
"..." Chu Danfeng still didn't let go.
"Don't you just want to be a salted fish? Didn't you say that this kind of work of saving the masses is hard and tiring, and you don't want to touch it at all? Host, you are really hypocritical. You are obviously a kind-hearted person who cares about all living beings, but in order to save people, you don't even care about your own safety."
"… What kind person?" Chu Danfeng finally found a breakthrough and pulled with all his strength. "I just happened to meet him and I have nothing to regret!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he poured all his spiritual power into his natal bamboo fan. The silver-paper fan moved slightly, and a hurricane arose from the ground. All five flying horses were swept out of the Wanjian Peak, and their fighting spirit was greatly weakened along with the spiritual swords that rose from the ground.
Chu Danfeng felt that the last bit of his spiritual power was exhausted. When he thought he was going to collapse, he felt that the dry meridians in his body were suddenly filled again.
This feeling… is very similar to 'improving realm', but also a little different. Logically speaking, there should be thunder tribulations when advancing from Golden Core to Nascent Soul, but the sky above is clear and nothing happened
At the same time, the system's ethereal electronic voice appeared in my mind again, "'Be true to your conscience', aren't they the greatest virtue? Host, the way of heaven is fair, you will surely become famous and live a happy life, hehe."
Chu Danfeng: “… … ” Hearing the indecent “hehehe”, it was indeed the familiar system. However, when he called again, the system disappeared again, as if it just came back occasionally to visit an old friend, said a few words and left.
There was a burst of cheers and applause from the ground. Chu Danfeng was standing on the huge back of the Bifang bird. Before he could figure out the situation, he saw that Hua Tingxuan was beside him.
The tall young man stepped on the jet-black Xuanshui Sword, and his expression looked like he had let out a long sigh of relief. His robe was scratched a few times. Chu Danfeng then remembered that someone had been blocking the sword for him just now. Just as he was about to ask, "Are you protecting me?", he felt the increasingly abundant spiritual flow finally filling up his meridians, and his whole body was... hot?
Immediately afterwards, a group of colorful butterflies flew out from the breach in the Wanjian Peak barrier. These butterflies were not very powerful and relied on instinct to bypass the cultivators who were busy repairing the barrier, and merged into a gorgeous rainbow, heading straight for Chu Danfeng.
Chu Danfeng: “???”
Before Chu Danfeng could figure out what was going on, he was surrounded by colorful butterflies.
From the perspective of the ground, it was Brother Chu in a flowing robe, standing on the aqua-blue feather back of the divine bird, holding a folding fan, with black hair and snow-white skin, surrounded by colorful butterflies, he was truly a beautiful banished immortal.
However, this banished immortal did not have the aloof and cold temperament of being 'out of touch with the world'. On the contrary, he seemed to have an enchanting aura in his bones that could make people lose their minds and hearts.
A similar conversation immediately sounded on Wangjianpo:
"I don't want the middle-grade spirit stone anymore. I want to join Senior Brother Chu instead!"
"If I can practice dual cultivation with Dan Feng once, I will have no regrets in my life."
"Brother Chu's skin, no, his demeanor, his willingness to sacrifice himself to save others, is so smooth, white and tender. I want to vote for him!"
"Why would I want to kneel at his feet? I just want him to give me a smile. I'll give you the spirit stone back! I want to change the ticket!"
"No need to vote, the votes have already exceeded half, the title of 'The Most Beautiful Woman in the Shuangji Sect' is well deserved!"
Chu Danfeng: “…”
His hearing and eyesight are now sharper than before. The more he listened, the more he felt something was wrong. This was very wrong. Not only were they wrong, but he himself was also wrong. It was so hot! Why was it so hot? If he was not in the right place and was not in public, he really wanted to tear off his outer robe and jump into the cold pool of Qianlian Peak to cool down.
Hua Tingxuan's reaction was even stranger. His face was flushed, as if he was shy and embarrassed, but his eyes were fierce, as if he could draw his sword and kill everyone under his feet in the next moment.
At this moment, someone screamed and everyone thought something had happened again. They looked over nervously, only to see a young man with blood scabs all over his face, fighting relentlessly with Liu Yanbai. Liu Yanbai was severely injured by being trampled by the flying horse, and was unable to use his spiritual power to escape underground, so he was scratched by him.
Someone shouted "ugly bastard", "Isn't that the second dive? I recognize his clothes!" As soon as the words fell, the young man with blood scabs stopped fighting and covered his face nervously.
For a moment, everyone's eyes were focused on the second Qian. After a moment, they looked back and saw that there was no one on the back of the Bifang bird. Hua Tingxuan did not give everyone a chance to be surprised. With a whistle, the large aqua blue bird spread its wings and flew high, followed closely by the tall young man on a sword.
Most people were confused, only a small number of disciples stared at Chu Danfeng and said confidently: "Brother Chu just used magic to escape gracefully, probably because he didn't want to take credit for it."
This rumor spread quickly among the disciples, and only Hua Tingxuan, who followed closely behind, guessed the truth. In an isolated place, he transformed the Xuanshui Sword into fragments of light and merged it into his body, then jumped onto the bird's back. Sure enough, he found a small ball of fur the size of a palm on the thick back feathers of the Bifang.
“…Chirp, chirp, chirp?!” Chu Danfeng’s tail feathers exploded, he shook his fur, tilted his round head back and shouted in confusion.
Hua Tingxuan held him in his palm, but was afraid that it would be cold up there and freeze his junior brother, so he simply put Chu Danfeng in his arms and said, "Don't be afraid, it's a good thing."
Chu Danfeng used his pointed beak to push and push, trying to get his round head out from under his clothes: "Chirp, chirp, chirp?"
“Junior brother, your cultivation has improved again, right? I didn’t expect that you exhausted your spiritual power to save people, and it was actually a chance,” Hua Tingxuan scratched his furry little chin, his face still a little red, “Maybe it’s because…” The demon (ding) dragon (lu) qi (ti) in your body has matured.
