Chapter 174 Gongsun Ling’s Return (Part 2)
Chapter 174 Gongsun Ling’s Return (Part 2)
Gongsun Ling didn't know when she became an impatient person. However, Yang Chen didn't care about this. As long as Gongsun Ling was happy, the higher her cultivation level, the more powerful Chunyang Palace would be.
Anyway, the phantom formation that Yang Chen mentioned is also within the scope of Meiqing Mountain, so Yang Chen doesn't mind taking Gongsun Ling with him. But she still warned her on the way that it was best to greet her master and everyone who needed to be greeted. Cultivation is not about annihilating emotions and nature, nor is it about imitating a small country with few people and not interacting with each other until old age and death. Necessary humaneness and sophistication are still needed.
Gongsun Ling nodded and took note of Yang Chen's advice. It seemed that her master had also told her these words, but Gongsun Ling didn't listen. However, Yang Chen's words could make Gongsun Ling remember them in her heart.
Yang Chen didn't notice this, and Shi Shiran took Gongsun Ling straight to the retreat where the senior who discovered the Immortal Killing Sword was retreating.
"There doesn't seem to be anything special here!" Gongsun Ling looked around and found no trace of the phantom formation. She couldn't help but frowned: "Yang Chen, did you remember the wrong place?"
Unknowingly, Gongsun Ling had changed her address to Yang Chen. She no longer formally called him junior brother, but directly called him by his first name. Yang Chen didn't care about this. Anyway, his friends all called him by his first name, and Gongsun Ling did the same.
Yang Chen did not respond to Gongsun Ling's question, but turned to smile at her and took a step forward. In an instant, Yang Chen's figure disappeared without a trace in front of Gongsun Ling, but there was no movement around him.
"This!" Gongsun Ling opened her eyes wide on the spot, watching this magical scene. Even though she was an array cultivator herself, she couldn't help but be surprised by the illusory array that was arranged without any trace.
Carefully following Yang Chen's steps, after taking a step forward, the scenery in front of Gongsun Ling suddenly changed, and the person appeared in a completely unfamiliar place. Next to her was Yang Chen, who was smiling but not smiling, as if he was waiting to see her surprised expression.
"Awesome!" It is precisely because he is also a formation cultivator that Gongsun Ling can better understand the power of this illusion formation. Such a large valley was so completely covered by this illusory formation that no one could detect it. And even if you are passing by, you will not be able to detect the existence of the phantom formation within a short distance. The person who set up the formation is definitely a master.
"This is the retreat place of a senior of our sect." Yang Chen didn't hide much from Gongsun Ling, and took Gongsun Ling to the senior's tomb to pay homage.
Seeing the stone tablet erected by Yang Chen, Gongsun Ling didn't seem to be surprised at all. He just bowed respectfully, and after finishing everything, he stood up and sighed to Yang Chen: "No wonder everyone marvels at your good luck. You are not afraid of illusions when you go up the ladder to heaven, and you can meet Elder Wu when you enter the Immortal Abyss. I can make friends with a Mahayana master even if I go to the Qingyun Sect, and now I believe it. I can even find such a secret place. How can it be possible without incredible luck?"
In Gongsun Ling's eyes, this must have been accidentally bumped into by Yang Chen, otherwise there would be no explanation at all. Yang Chen didn't intend to explain this. Anyway, everyone knew that Yang Chen was lucky, so this is simply a manifestation of good luck!
This illusion formation was enough for Gongsun Ling to study for a long time. After writing down the location, the two quickly returned to Chunyang Palace. Gongsun Ling is not a person who does not listen to others' advice. He has not returned to Chunyang Palace for ten years. At least he must fulfill the etiquette of a disciple when he comes back.
Except for the Stone Fairy in Baguio Fairy Island who is a little troublesome, it seems that everything has been going smoothly for Yang Chen these days. Whether it is the magic catastrophe or the refining of the Yimu Flying Sword, it is completely developed according to Yang Chen's plan. The lives of Master and Gongsun Ling have changed. Yang Chen suddenly felt that everything he had worked hard to plan was worth it.
In a happy mood, Yang Chen began to wait quietly for the Mingguang Sword to be released, and at the same time, he also waited for Cheng Wencai from Taitianmen to come and redeem his bet.
In order to ridicule Yang Chen, Cheng Wencai did not hesitate to publicize the bet, but he did not expect that in the end, the fact that he would kowtow to Yang Chen and Gao Yue would be made known to the world.
Precisely because the commotion was so big, even if Taitianmen wanted to secretly reconcile with Chunyang Palace, it was impossible. The Taitian Sect was so powerful, but it also aroused the dissatisfaction and jealousy of many other sects. How could they allow this incident, which would bring the Taitian Sect into such disrepute, to pass quietly?
Previously, Chunyang Palace delayed for some time on the grounds that Gao Yue and Yang Chen were in retreat, which allowed Taitianmen to see some hope, and they were very satisfied with Chunyang Palace's progress. Anyway, several elders at the top have made a decision. Cheng Wencai still has to kowtow, but he can fulfill his bet in secret.
Unexpectedly, Elder Wu Xiong ascended to heaven and his heaven-defying performance of the Heaven-Seizing Pill made Yang Chen the focus of the monks again. As a result, the bet that Cheng Wencai lost was also mentioned. There was a group of people who seemed to want to take this opportunity to get acquainted with Yang Chen and make the whole thing a fuss. Even Taitianmen and Chunyang Palace wanted to keep a low profile. possible.
What might have been just a matter of Cheng Wencai kowtowing to Gao Yue and Yang Chen in a secret corner was made a fuss by a group of people, and it had to be done in public.
After hearing the news, Cheng Wencai almost spat out a mouthful of blood. Among all the mistakes he had made in his life, none were worse than the two mistakes he made on Yang Chen. One time, his Golden Core cultivation level dropped directly to the Foundation Establishment stage, and the other time, his reputation was ruined from now on, and he could no longer hold his head high in front of the monks.
The monks respect heaven and earth. Among the masters of heaven and earth, even the masters do not even respect the emperor. They only kowtow to the master of heaven and earth. It is rare that they will kowtow to some dead people. The so-called death is the most important thing. But it was unprecedented for a Jindan master to kowtow to a foundation-building disciple of another sect.
If the foundation-building disciple had only poor qualifications but high seniority, it would be fine, but Yang Chen happened to be a junior among juniors. How could this make Cheng Wencai feel embarrassed?
It's just that if Cheng Wencai hadn't been so aggressive, how could Yang Chen have made such a bet with him, but he couldn't blame others.
Now that things are getting serious, Cheng Wencai and Taitianmen have no choice but to do so, even if Chunyang Palace offers not to honor the bet. Others would definitely say that Chunyang Palace was under pressure from Taitian Clan. As a last resort, Taitian Clan could only let Cheng Wencai solve his own troubles.
Cheng Wencai almost embarked on the road to Chunyang Palace with the heroic mood of a warrior who will never return. His heart was filled with the flames of anger.
Such a shame and humiliation cannot be erased even if Yang Chen and Gao Yue are cut into pieces. In full view of the public, Cheng Wencai could not do anything, but Cheng Wencai had already sworn that after this insult, he would never let Master Yang Chen and Gao Yue live.
