Xuantian Immortal Cultivation Record

#503 - Chapter 502: Persuasion (Part 4 for the two bosses)

Several months ago, beside a secluded stream at the foot of Mount Ji Shi.

Wen Zaidào, his face slightly pale, stood on one side of the stream, facing Lu Dingyi, who stood with his hands behind his back, a slightly arrogant expression on his face.

"Real Person Lu, every word I, Wen, have spoken is true. Zhang Yuanjing is about to depart for the Hengduan Mountains. If we cannot persuade the other two Real Persons from your sect to act together this time and capture him, I fear there will be no such good opportunity again! With his skill in earth遁, going to a place like the Hengduan Mountains would be like a fish in water, coming and going as he pleases!"

Wen Zaidào had repeated almost the same words, changing the phrasing each time. He was also helpless. He had come to announce the news from Song Yuanzhen, thinking that Lu Dingyi would definitely take it seriously and even be eager to act, but he did not expect such a flat response, as if he did not care at all.

Lu Dingyi sneered, "Real Person Wen's words are somewhat exaggerated. How is it like a fish in water in the Hengduan Mountains? Is there no mountain or earth there? According to you, as long as Zhang Yuanjing has his feet on the soil, he is equal to standing in an invincible position. What use is it for the three of us to act with you?"

Wen Zaidào felt very strange in his heart. The Heavenly Devil Abyss was launching a powerful attack on Tianque Mountain, which was obviously a must-win situation. Why was his attitude like this at this time? What changes had taken place in the middle?

While he was guessing, he said, "The three Real Persons of your sect do not cultivate earth techniques and are not good at earth movement, so they do not know that the situation in the ground varies greatly, and the ground environment has a great impact on the use of earth遁 techniques.

"In the Hengduan Mountains, there are many demon-suppressing cities built. Those who practice earth遁 techniques can escape back as long as they are not far from the city. Even if they are far away from the demon-suppressing city and cannot escape back directly, there are many territories of great demons in the Hengduan Mountains. How can people on the ground chase after they遁 into them? Once the trail is lost, all previous efforts will be in vain.

"Therefore, to capture this Zhang Yuanjing, it is best to take advantage of his journey halfway, so that he cannot return to Tianque Mountain, nor can he borrow strength from other places. Keep tracking him from behind, exhaust his strength, and force him to come out on the ground, and you can capture him!"

This was not his fabrication, but the fact. Therefore, although he also suspected that the news from Song Yuanzhen might have problems, he still wanted to act.

Of course, to prevent the Xuantian Sect from setting a trap to deal with him, he also had to prepare a backup plan, which was to persuade the three Real Persons of the Heavenly Devil Abyss to act with him, so that even if Tong Tianfu acted, they could fight two against four, and at the very least, they could retreat safely.

Lu Dingyi chuckled, "If that's the case, it's enough for the three of us from the Devil Abyss to take action, so why do we need another Real Person Wen?"

Wen Zaidào's expression froze, and he almost cursed. He thought that this news was sent by a spy that his Hou Tu Sect had planted for more than a hundred years!

However, after all, he was asking for help, so he had to suppress the anger in his heart and said with a dry smile, "After all, I, Wen, am good at earth遁 techniques. If that kid hides in the earth and refuses to come out, I can still潜入 into the earth and capture him."

Lu Dingyi ridiculed, "Oh, like last time, when you were beaten and fled in a sorry state?"

A flush of red surged on Wen Zaidào's pale face, and he seemed about to explode with anger, but he was very good at controlling his emotions and calmed down in an instant.

He stared at Lu Dingyi and asked directly, "Real Person Lu is making excuses and seems to have no interest in capturing Zhang Yuanjing. I wonder why? It wasn't like this on Huan Yue Mountain a few years ago!"

Lu Dingyi said lightly, "You don't need to know this."

Wen Zaidào suddenly smiled and said, "In this case, Zhang Yuanjing's trip to the Hengduan Mountains is mostly the work of your sect. Your sect is so confident that you will definitely be able to capture Zhang Yuanjing in the Hengduan Mountains? There are many large and small forces from the Central Region, Southern Region, and even Eastern Region concentrated there. No matter how powerful your sect is, I'm afraid you can't cover the sky with one hand!"

Seeing that this gentle old Daoist could guess the reason in an instant, Lu Dingyi could not help but admire his keen mind.

He chuckled and said, "If Real Person Wen has nothing else to do, I, Lu, will leave first. Of course, to prevent Tong Tianfu from attacking your sect, I, Lu, will still stay nearby. If there is any danger, just send a voice transmission. Of course, don't waste my time on unimportant matters."

Wen Zaidào observed his expression and knew that he had guessed the inside story. His mind raced, but he said slowly, "Your sect is indeed extremely powerful. Real Person Lu, Real Person Chu, and Real Person Qin are exerting pressure on Tianque Mountain, preventing Tong Tianfu from resting for a moment, and then you have arranged for other Real Persons to capture people in the Hengduan Mountains. The cooperation is seamless. In the future, when merits are rewarded, the three Real Persons will be able to share a lot of credit!"

Lu Dingyi was already preparing to leave, but when he heard this, his eyes immediately became sharp, and he said grimly, "Real Person Wen, if you want to attack Zhang Yuanjing, just go. It's your ability to capture him. If you think that you can just move your lips and say some irrelevant words to make my Devil Abyss take chestnuts out of the fire for you, then you are too self-righteous."

Wen Zaidào was oblivious to the threat in his words and continued, "Real Person Lu, the person in charge of your sect on Huan Yue Mountain is Real Person Chu. Please forward what I, Wen, have said to him. Within two months, I, Wen, will disperse the disciples of Mount Jishi and then潜伏 in the north of Xuan Shui Immortal City. At that time, whether your sect sends people or not, I, Wen, will take action!"

Lu Dingyi snorted coldly, his figure swayed, and he disappeared.

Wen Zaidào stood still by the stream, watching the small fish swimming in the clear stream, lost in thought. After a long time, he sighed softly and leaped into the air, leaving.

In the Xuan Yuan Hall, Zhang Yuanjing handed over various matters to Huo Tiantong, and more than a dozen chief and deputy deacons reported the matters they were in charge of to the new Hall Master one by one.

Huo Tiantong was still the same as before, like an amiable and wealthy secular merchant. No matter who finished speaking, he would praise them with "Good, good, good," and he would always praise Hall Master Zhang for his effective leadership and governance of the hall, without asking about specific matters at all.

Zhang Yuanjing stood aside, not saying a word about the affairs in the hall, only occasionally saying a few humble words.

Only when Pan Zhengyu came out to report, did he tell Huo Tiantong that Pan Zhengyu had already proposed to resign from his position as inspector of the secret realm, and he had approved it, and asked Uncle Huo to select someone else to replace him.

After the handover, Zhang Yuanjing politely declined Huo Tiantong's arrangement to hold a banquet to send him off, and together with Fire Crow Daoist, he took his disciples and left directly in a wind-controlling carriage.

The group first returned to Tianque Mountain, and Zhang Yu and Zhang Jun each returned to their own cave dwellings, still practicing in the mountain. This had already been agreed upon, and Zhang Yu had to accept it despite her reluctance.

As for Huo Zhengkai and Zhou Yuming, like Pan Zhengyu, they would follow Zhang Yuanjing to the Hengduan Mountains. Huo Zhengkai wanted to go, which was Zhang Yuanjing's arrangement. After weighing it again and again, he decided to bring this great disciple with him to train him. Zhou Yuming insisted on going, and Zhang Yuanjing could not persuade him, so he had to agree.

Han Ji remained in the Palm Xuan Hall to work, at the request of Liu Yuanqing. Liu Yuanqing greatly appreciated Han Ji, believing that he had the demeanor of a great general and was good at handling various urgent and complex matters. Given time, he would surely become a pillar of the sect.

Under Fire Crow Daoist, Yuan Zhilin, Liu Jinglong, and Mei Zhenyi would naturally go to the Hengduan Mountains.

Zhang Yuanjing discussed with Liu Yuanqing to open up cave dwellings for the three of them on Jingdu Peak, so that they could practice in Tianque Mountain first, and then go to the Hengduan Mountains together after he and Fire Crow Daoist returned from the Candle Dragon Sect.

After arranging his disciples, he went to the Jieyuan Hall to bid farewell to Tong Tianfu.

"Yuanjing, you've come at the right time. There's still one thing that needs your help!"
