Daoist Competition-Chapter 1045 - 262: Elder Qi (Part 2)

Mo Ying whispered, "Martial Nephew has already sent someone to Linglang Cave Heaven to ask Aunt to return and take charge."

Mo Tianhua’s Daoist partner is named Yang Ying, a registered disciple under Qin Yu, but lacking in talent, she is still at the Xuan Guang Cultivation stage and is not particularly valued by her master. Upon hearing about his intention to take a concubine, she immediately returned in anger. If she were present, Mei Yi would likely find it difficult to succeed.

Zhang Yan nodded, "The fact that the Demon Sect disciples have infiltrated the Mountain Gate is no longer just a matter for your family. It’s impossible to keep this hidden. I must report this to the Sect Leader. You should still convey the details to Elder Qi to prevent him from blaming you later."

Mo Ying lowered her head, sighed, and said, "Martial Nephew understands."

At that moment, suddenly the sky was filled with roaring Gang Clouds. Everyone looked up to see a handsome Daoist arriving on the island, clad in a Lingyun Daoist Robe and carrying a Dragon Pattern Ancient Sword on his back, with a fair-skinned and charming woman by his side.

Mo Ying exclaimed, "How could Aunt have also invited the grandmaster?"

Zhang Yan smiled slightly. Yang Ying is indeed ruthless, without the slightest hesitation, she directly invited Mo Tianhua’s teacher. Mo Tianhua is in for some suffering this time.

Elder Qi’s face was grim, and upon seeing Zhang Yan, he showed surprise, raised his hand, and slowly descended on a Gang Cloud. The disciples on the island rushed out, knelt on the ground, and called out "Grandmaster."

Elder Qi ignored them, strode over to Zhang Yan, bowed, and said, "Greetings, True Master Zhang."

Zhang Yan returned the gesture, "Greetings, Elder Qi."

Elder Qi looked intently at Zhang Yan and asked, "Why is True Master Zhang here?"

Zhang Yan’s lips moved as he transmitted his voice over. Elder Qi’s eyes flashed, he stared at him for a moment, and then sighed, "You’ve made a laughingstock of us, True Master Zhang."

He suddenly turned around, his eyes revealing coldness, swept over the kneeling disciples, and shouted, "Mo Ying, where is that rebellious disciple?"

Mo Ying, familiar with Elder Qi’s temper, could see that his anger was uncontrollable, and said anxiously, "Grandmaster, Uncle is still unconscious and cannot come to pay respects. I beg for your forgiveness."

Elder Qi’s body did not move, but he reached out and grabbed the sword hilt, coldly saying, "Unconscious is good; I fear he doesn’t dare to face me. I’ll cut him down with one sword stroke to settle it once and for all!"

Mo Ying was terrified by his severe words and begged desperately. Elder Qi found her annoying, kicked her aside, and said, "Anyone who dares to stop me will be cut down with him."

This left everyone speechless. Yang Ying was also stunned, having not anticipated this situation. She had only intended to give her husband a lesson and had never thought it would lead to taking his life.

Elder Qi glanced over and saw Mei Yi standing there, a fierce look suddenly appeared. With a pointing gesture, there was a "clang," and the ancient sword behind him flew up, slicing across Mei Yi’s neck, and a head fell.

Zhang Yan seemed unprepared for his sudden action and was taken aback. He leaned down to inspect and shook his head, furrowing his brow, "Elder Qi, it seems this woman still had accomplices hidden within the Mountain Gate. I intended to take her to see the Sect Leader, but you’ve cut down even her Primordial Spirit. How can we investigate further?"

Elder Qi’s expression was indifferent, "True Master Zhang, this is an internal matter of our sect, and there’s no need for you to intervene. I will give an explanation to the Sect Leader myself."

Zhang Yan was even more displeased and said, "Elder Qi, how can you act so, moreover, this is not solely your sect’s issue."

Elder Qi said proudly, "What’s done is done. What do you intend to do about it?"

Zhang Yan’s face also darkened, he sneered, "Elder Qi, would you dare to step aside and speak?"

With that, he stomped his foot and immediately rode up into the sky on Gang Cloud.

Elder Qi snorted and followed suit, the two of them reached the Extreme Sky in an instant.

This place is perpetually swept by the Gang Wind. Except for Nascent Soul cultivators, no one else can come here, so there’s no fear of others eavesdropping.

Elder Qi’s eyes were no longer filled with anger but were clear and calm as he asked, "True Master Zhang, why did you want this old Daoist to act this way? If it was just to lure out the Demon Sect disciples hidden in our gates, wouldn’t it have been better to keep this woman alive?"

The actions earlier were precisely Zhang Yan taking advantage of the voice transmission to make him act this way.

Zhang Yan shook his head and said, "If that were the case, this person would have no reason to remain hidden and might even seize the opportunity to escape."

Elder Qi replied, "That can also be managed. Capturing this woman would certainly unsettle her accomplices. By maintaining strict vigilance over the coming days, one can surely notice something suspicious."

Zhang Yan did not agree, "Every day, countless people come and go over Long Yan Marsh, and with the elder disciples stationed outside, it’s not feasible to make a great spectacle for one person, causing a commotion in the whole city, especially since..."

At this point, he suddenly changed the subject, "What if this person happens to be outside the Mountain Gate?"

Elder Qi was taken aback, furrowed his brow in thought for a moment, then nodded, "True Master Zhang suggests that this person knew Mei Yi was about to act. To avoid the risk of her implicating them, they might have hidden outside the Mountain Gate? It’s quite possible. If I were them, I’d certainly arrange spies to watch this woman’s every move. If they found she was captured, they’d flee immediately."

Zhang Yan’s eyes flickered slightly, "Fortunately, this woman’s Primordial Spirit is still in my possession, and our sect also has the Soul Searching Technique. If this person indeed exists, it’s easy to find out who they are. I believe there’s no need to rush to apprehend them; we just need to keep a close watch for future use."

Elder Qi agreed, "True Master Zhang is right. With the Demon Tribulation already underway, we should be cautious in everything. Having this person in the open is better than in hiding. However, I’m quite curious about who this person could be."
