The sky gradually brightened.
At the foot of Weilong Mountain, Zhou Zheng and Bai Long had been fighting for several hours, but there was still no winner.
The disciples on both sides were stunned. This was a duel far beyond their capabilities. They couldn't even get within ten feet of them.
In the end, it was Zhou Zhengjun who put away his sword first and said calmly, "I'm tired of fighting."
Bai Long gently brushed away the dust on his white clothes: "Yeah, I'm a little tired too."
"Let's take a break first." Zhou Zheng said slowly.
Bai Long nodded: "It's time to take a break."
"It would be nice to have a stool." Zhou Zheng said quietly.
"Someone, please give Mr. Zhou Zheng a seat." Bai Long waved his hand.
Immediately, a disciple brought a stool and Zhou Zheng sat on it. He fanned himself with his hands and continued, "The sun is a bit hot."
"Build a shed." Bai Long continued to order.
Although those disciples were resentful, they did not dare to disobey the deputy building master's wishes and ran back to the mountain. Soon after, they really built a shed above Zhou Zheng's head.
"Another pot of herbal tea please." Zhou Zheng said quietly.
"Are you done yet?" The disciples next to him finally couldn't bear it anymore and started cursing.
"Go and prepare." Bai Long said with a smile, "I wonder if Mr. Zhou Zheng has any other requests, so tell me as well."
"No other requests. When the tea arrives, would you like to sit down and chat for a while?" Zhou Zheng also said with a smile.
Bai Long bowed his head: "It is my honor."
Then, a magical scene appeared at the foot of Weilong Mountain. The two opponents who had been fighting all night were actually sitting in a shed, drinking herbal tea leisurely.
Zhou Zheng drank three cups in one breath and said with emotion: "I haven't had such a good fight in a long time."
Bai Long nodded and said, "It is indeed a pleasure."
"Think about when my second senior brother climbed the mountain, he fought from the bottom of the mountain to the top in just one day, and even made your Grand Palace Master take action personally. But I fought for a whole night and couldn't even get through the mountain gate. It was useless." Zhou Zheng put down the teacup.
Bai Long drank slowly, "The Second Gentleman was indeed very brave back then, but it's a pity that the three of us from Fusheng Zuimeng Tower were not on the mountain that day, so we didn't get to see his style. But the Fifth Gentleman's sword is also very powerful, not inferior to the four academy leaders."
"So what you mean is that you are above the first seat of the Four Academy?" Zhou Zheng took another sip of herbal tea and said faintly.
"I don't deserve it." Bai Long waved his sleeves lightly, "I just did my best."
Zhou Zheng looked at the pavilions above and said slowly: "You know, besides being one of the Five Gentlemen of the Academy, I am also a writer."
"Mr. Shanxu's name is known to the whole world." Bailong said with his head lowered.
"I like to record the interesting people and things in the world. I think you are very interesting, and you are very different from the people in Shanglin Palace that I imagined." Zhou Zheng looked at Bai Long.
Bai Long lowered his eyebrows and asked, "What do you mean, sir?"
"You are like a gust of wind." Zhou Zheng stretched out his hand, feeling the breeze blowing past, "or a gust of spring breeze. Whether talking to you or fighting with you, I don't feel too sharp. Instead, I feel very comfortable. You don't seem like an enemy."
"I'm sorry to make you laugh, but I never thought we were enemies." Bai Long took a sip of tea.
"Why do you choose to stand on Bai Jile's side?" Zhou Zheng asked.
"My brother and I have been adopted by Master Bai since we were young. It's not that we chose to stand on Master Bai's side, but we represent Master Bai and Master Bai represents us." Bai Long said seriously.
Zhou Zheng nodded: "I understand."
"Deputy Building Master." A disciple rushed down from the mountain and seemed to want to say something to Bai Long, but stopped himself.
Bai Long waved his hand and said, "You can speak freely. There is no need to avoid mentioning Mr. Zhou."
"Okay." The disciple glanced at Zhou Zheng and lowered his voice casually, "Someone sneaked into Shanglin Palace last night."
Bai Long frowned slightly and glanced at Zhou Zheng: "It turns out that this sword of Mr. Zhou Zheng was just a feint."
Zhou Zheng clasped his fists and said, "I'll take it as a compliment."
The disciple continued, "Two people tried to enter the Nether Prison to rescue Xie Kanhua, but were stopped by Deputy Tower Master Baihe. In the end, the two escaped and are now missing. According to Deputy Tower Master Baihe, the two were Nangong Xier and Su Baiyi. In addition, Tower Master Helian suddenly burned Qingming Court yesterday, killed Qingming Court Vice President Chen Baimou, and drove the other Qingming Court disciples down the mountain."
Zhou Zheng laughed and said, “No wonder when I was fighting with you last night, I felt a group of people rushing down the mountain. I thought they were coming to deal with me.”
Bai Long shook his head and said, "Qingming Court has long been in name only, but I didn't expect that Lord Helian would personally take action."
The disciple continued, "Also, the disciple Jie Se from the Criminal Law Academy suddenly brought Xie Yuling, the third son of the Xie family, back to the Criminal Law Academy, killed the deputy chair Jie Wu, and announced in public that he would immediately become the head of the Criminal Law Academy. No one in the Criminal Law Academy objected."
"That monk is even more powerful than I thought." Zhou Zheng raised his head and drank another cup of tea.
"Where is Master Bai?" Bai Long asked.
"The owner of the building is still in the building and has not taken a single step out." the disciple replied.
Bai Long nodded slightly, signaling his disciples to retreat. He looked at the pavilion on the mountain and whispered in his heart: Master, what are you waiting for
Shanglin Heavenly Palace.
Ning Qingcheng opened his eyes. Just one night had passed, but he seemed like a different person.
There was finally some color on his pale face, and the dejected air on his body gradually dissipated.
He stood up and looked at his hands: "Is this the power of the Immortal Book? Although I have been prepared for it, I still didn't expect it to be so strong. No wonder the martial arts of those people who came from Yingzhou were so terrible."
Su Baiyi beside him looked a little tired. He smiled bitterly and said, "After practicing this Kung Fu, you won't be able to sleep anymore."
"No need. I've slept long enough over the years." Ning Qingcheng clenched his fists.
"I've only taught you half of it, is it so effective?" Su Baiyi was puzzled, "Why didn't I realize that this skill is so powerful?"
"That's because when you practiced this Kung Fu, your body was empty. Xie Kanhua didn't study the secret book thoroughly after stealing it. In fact, the prerequisite for practicing the Immortal Book is to have a strong internal force." Ning Qingcheng looked at Su Baiyi, "and your body is empty, so it's useless to practice."
"I see." Su Baiyi nodded, but he had other thoughts in his mind.
"Go on, I want to learn the remaining half today." Ning Qingcheng's eyes revealed a bit of fanaticism, and he immediately sat down cross-legged.
"Okay." Su Baiyi said in a deep voice.
At this time, in the main hall, next to the medicine pool.
Nangong Xier suddenly opened her eyes.
