"Once the truth is revealed, Yuan Jingshan will never protect any murderer!"
Qing Yan stood in front of the mountain gate, facing the Qingjiang Sect practitioners, and spoke loudly.
It was only when he returned to the mountain gate that he learned the whole story. Seeing how Deacon Xia died, he felt very troubled.
Qingyan wanted to defuse the storm, but the Qingjiang Sect didn't seem to want to resolve the problem at all. They bombarded him with foul language, and some even cursed Master Tongshen overtly or covertly, making Qingyan, his disciple, extremely furious.
He suppressed his anger and wanted to appease the Qingjiang faction and avoid war between the two factions as much as possible.
You Chen, the chief disciple of the Qingjiang Sect, sneered and pointed at Lan Jingchuan. "The murderer is right here, what are you investigating? And how dare a mere third-generation disciple kill the grandson of the great elder of the Qingjiang Sect without anyone's instructions? Do you think that handing over the murderer is enough?"
Qingyan's face darkened, "Brother You, what do you mean by this?"
"what for?"
You Chen snorted coldly, "Not only the murderer, but all the masterminds behind the scenes must be handed over and die to atone for their crimes. Only in this way can we comfort the spirits of Elder Xia and Deacon Xia in heaven!"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was in an uproar.
Even the dullest person could see the clues. The Qingjiang faction might not come here just for revenge.
Lan Jingchuan's master is the second disciple of Master Tongshen. Qinghong, who is now in charge of all affairs of Yuanjing Mountain, is recognized as the next generation leader of Yuanjing Mountain.
Who else could be the mastermind behind this except her?
If it was just Lan Jingchuan, Yuan Jingshan might have the courage to hand him over. You Chen's spearhead was aimed directly at Qinghong, and Yuan Jingshan had no way out. Today's matter could not end well.
The question is, why did the Qingjiang faction do this?
Qingyan's eyes turned cold.
Qinghong and Shuangluo's faces were covered with frost.
Lan Jingchuan was extremely sad and angry when he found out that the trouble he had caused had implicated his master.
In the distance, the old man in green robe and others were watching the debate here.
The young man in white finally took his eyes off the two women and glanced at the leader of the Qingjiang Sect. "Tell him to stop talking nonsense."
The leader of the Qingjiang Sect nodded, moved his lips slightly, and transmitted his voice to You Chen through the air.
Next, You Chen's attitude became even tougher. After a heated debate, he even proposed a bet with Qing Yan.
"I will always remember what you did to me, and I swear to avenge my previous shame. Do you dare to fight me again? If you beat me, this matter will be written off. I will lead the Qingjiang Sect down the mountain immediately and never mention this matter again!"
You Chen's tone became more and more excited, and he looked at Qing Yan with his eyes spitting fire.
It turned out that the two sects' senior disciples had competed with each other in the past, but unfortunately You Chen was also defeated by Qing Yan and failed to restore face for the Qingjiang sect.
Everyone suddenly understood and thought to themselves that this was the case. When enemies meet, they are always jealous of each other. It is natural for You Chen to propose a bet, and the elders of the Qingjiang Sect did not stop him.
"Brother, I'm afraid they are up to something!" Qing Hong sent a message to Qing Yan, worriedly.
Qing Yan sighed softly, "Even if Jing Chuan died to apologize, the Qing Jiang Sect would not let it go. Are they really going to hand over my sister?"
Qing Hong lowered his head and said, "It's all my fault for not disciplining him properly."
"Don't blame me, Junior Sister." Qing Yan shook his head. "The Qingjiang Sect has obviously been planning this for a long time. No one could have expected it. Master and I underestimated the ambition of the leader of the Qingjiang Sect and left behind troubles. For now, the only way is to win this bet. Only then will we have a chance to solve this matter once and for all. Otherwise, if they attack the mountain gate and disturb Master's practice, we will never forgive ourselves."
"But……"
"Junior sister, you don't need to persuade me anymore. You Chen was defeated by me back then, and I can defeat him today as well! Recently, my cultivation has improved. My junior brother sent me some secret thunder techniques some time ago. I have just mastered them and I am looking for someone to try out the power of thunder techniques!"
Qing Yan's eyes flashed coldly and he spoke in a cold voice.
Seeing that he had made up his mind, Qinghong and Shuangluo could no longer persuade him.
The two sides retreated and left a large area as the battlefield, with only Qing Yan and You Chen left.
Qingyan and Youchen glared at each other and confronted each other.
‘Crack! ’
The thunderbolt shook the sky, shocking everyone's heart.
There was a clear sky above Qingyan's head, and at this moment, a thunder ball suddenly appeared out of thin air. There were red and blue lightning in the thunder ball, which coiled around like a dragon or snake.
The thunderball was only the size of a fist at first, but it gradually expanded, and the lightning inside became thicker and stronger.
Two colors of lightning, one is as hot as fire, the other is as calm as water. They have completely different temperaments, but they can be perfectly combined together without any conflict between them.
Everyone's attention was attracted by the strange thunder ball. Even though they knew that Yuan Jingshan's Taoist tradition was special and that water and fire were practiced together, they were still amazed when they saw Qing Yan perform it himself.
"Sure enough, there are some doorways."
The young man in white waved his folding fan and said, "Qi Bo, if Master Tongshen came out of retreat now, what are your chances of winning?"
The old man in green robe said: "Master Tongshen has already made a name for himself, and his magical powers are unique. I cannot match him. However, no matter what, I will fight to the death to protect you."
"Of course I believe in Qi Bo's strength. Can we infer the supernatural power of the master Tongshen from this person?"
The young man in white knew that Qi Bo was a top master, and he called himself an old slave because his father saved his life and he was willing to be a slave. His father also warned him many times not to treat Qi Bo with disrespect.
Qi Bo stared at Qing Yan, shook his head after a moment and said: "This person is different from Master Tongshen. He specializes in thunder magic and is an outlier in Yuanjing Mountain. Moreover, Master Tongshen's attainments must be far superior to those of my disciples. It is difficult to make an inference."
"Since it has no value, let's not waste time. Let Brother You make a quick decision," the young man in white said calmly.
In the field, the ball of thunder expanded to its limit, and the sound of thunder echoed among the mountains, deafening.
'Bah! '
The thunder ball shot out two lightning bolts, one red and one blue, like two thunder dragons, with astonishing momentum and raging ferocity, pouncing towards You Chen with fangs and claws.
You Chen narrowed his eyes slightly. In his vision, the two lightning bolts actually merged together and became one.
The speed of lightning was too fast and its momentum was too fierce. You Chen was the first to bear the brunt of it and his heart couldn't help but beat violently.
Although the previous words were an excuse, deliberately trying to seduce Qing Yan, they were also somewhat of his true thoughts. Back then, both the master and the disciple were defeated, and You Chen regarded it as a lifelong shame. He knew the shame and then became brave, studied hard and practiced diligently, and his strength improved greatly.
I thought I could defeat Qing Yan and avenge my previous shame, but now I realize that Qing Yan is no longer the same person he used to be!
In an instant, lightning was within reach.
A silver light flew out from You Chen's chest and hovered in front of You Chen, revealing a silver figure. The figure's facial features and limbs were the same as those of an ordinary person, but he looked similar to You Chen, like a puppet.
It carried a long sword on its shoulder. Facing the lightning, its eyes flashed with intelligence. It immediately raised the long sword and chopped at the lightning fiercely.
'Shuh! '
Such a small knife actually caused a huge wave of energy and turned into a terrifying sword light.
'Rumble...'
The collision between the blade and lightning caused the sky to lose its color and the earth to shake.
Everyone opened their eyes wide and saw the battlefield was filled with chaotic air currents. They couldn't tell which side's force it was and who had the upper hand.
It looked as if the blow was evenly matched.
However, You Chen felt a bitter taste in his mouth. With just one strike, he realized that he was still inferior to the other party. It was impossible for him to defeat Qing Yan with his own strength alone.
Perhaps, it will be impossible to defeat Qing Yan fairly in this lifetime.
Hearing the master's urging voice in his ears, You Chen could only put aside all distractions, merge with the silver man, and actively rush towards the opponent.
At this time, the thunder ball above Qing Yan's head disappeared, but lightning had spread across the entire battlefield, everywhere.
There were roaring thunder and lightning on the battlefield. Qing Yan and You Chen were nowhere to be seen, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that Qing Yan had firmly gained the upper hand.
Everyone looked towards Qingjiang Sect, and the faces of the Qingjiang Sect cultivators were indeed not very good. On the contrary, Yuanjingshan was jubilant, but Qinghong and Shuangluo were the only ones who were still secretly nervous and did not dare to relax.
It was obvious that You Chen was too confident and arrogant, thinking that he could defeat Qing Yan, but he didn't expect the gap to be so big. If You Chen didn't have other means, the Qingjiang faction would have to go down the mountain in disgrace, with a great start but a poor finish, and lose face.
Just as everyone was thinking this, something strange happened on the battlefield. A ball of light brighter than lightning burst out. The ball of light seemed to be made up of light arrows, and at the same time a loud shout was heard.
The voice contained a hint of shock and anger, and seemed to be Qingyan.
'Swish, swish, swish!'
Light arrows shot out immediately, and the lightning wandering on the battlefield was hit by the light arrows and actually scattered.
Qinghong had always had a bad premonition. Seeing this scene, his heart skipped a beat and he secretly said "not good". Then he saw a figure flying out from the battlefield. The figure was a little distorted and blood was faintly splashing out.
"Brother!"
Qinghong and Shuangluo were horrified and rushed to the battlefield without hesitation.
"Yuan Jingshan is really full of scoundrels, actually trying to disrupt the gambling fight!"
The elders of Qingjiang Sect shouted loudly and took action to stop the two women.
Fortunately, Qinghong and Shuangluo had been on guard the whole time. Upon seeing this, they immediately activated the mountain protection formation. Layers of light waves surged out from one of the light pillars, blocking the attacks of the Qingjiang Sect elders and protecting Qingyan underneath.
"Brother!"
The two women caught Qing Yan and saw that he was pale, barely breathing, and there was a bloody hole in his chest, which had injured his internal organs.
The two women were in a hurry, feeding him healing pills and helping him refine them. Qing Yan barely managed to stabilize his injuries and glared at You Chen, "Despicable! Ahem..."
At this moment, You Chen was holding an object in his hand, a jade arrow only three inches long. The jade arrow was covered with cracks and suddenly broke, with the fragments falling through You Chen's fingers.
You Chen's face was also a little pale, but he was not injured, but his true energy was over-consumed.
You Chen severely injured Qing Yan with one blow, relying on this jade arrow. This is not an ordinary magic weapon, but a one-time magic weapon that can only be used once, but can instantly burst out all its power and kill the opponent. This kind of magic weapon is powerful, but the price is too high, and it has extremely high requirements for the weapon refiner, which is very rare in the world of immortal cultivation.
This is a powerful weapon that can save lives. No one would have thought that You Chen actually had such a magic weapon and was willing to use it in gambling.
"Ha ha……"
You Chen sneered and responded with disdain, "You have already lost, why don't you hand over the murderer and open the mountain gate so that we can investigate thoroughly!"
The goal has been achieved by eliminating Qing Yan, the strongest fighter. You Chen knew that the Qingjiang Sect would never agree to such a condition, so he immediately gave an order and the cultivators of the Qingjiang Sect attacked the mountain again.
At this moment, another uninvited guest came unexpectedly.
"Wait a minute!"
A man flew down from the mountain.
This person walked on the wind, his movements were graceful and natural. Wherever he passed, the crowds parted to the sides on their own, and he attracted everyone's attention in an instant.
The person who came was the young man in white. He flashed in front of the gate of Yuanjing Mountain and landed directly between the two camps.
"Who are you? Do you want to die?" You Chen shouted.
Facing You Chen's gaze, the young man in white remained expressionless and said in a gentle voice, "I am Chen Yuze from Tian Jing Sect!"
He was tall and slender, with a calm and composed demeanor, which was even more impressive in this situation.
After saying that, Chen Yuze looked at Shuangluo and smiled gently, "Miss Shuang, we meet again."
"Mr. Chen?"
Shuangluo looked surprised.
"Junior sister, do you know him?" Qinghong asked in a voice transmission.
Shuangluo said, "Sister, do you still remember the time you asked me to go to Shuyu Valley to take charge? On the way, I met a few Taoist friends who were traveling to Qingtuo River from outside, including this Mr. Chen. However, I was in a hurry to get to Shuyu Valley at that time, so I only spoke a few words to them in a hurry."
"Miss Shuang comes from a famous family. No wonder she has such an extraordinary temperament, like a fairy from heaven," Chen Yuze complimented her generously, and then looked at Qing Hong, "Who is this fairy?"
"She is my senior sister, her name is Qinghong. My master is in trouble, and I am sorry to have embarrassed you, Mr. Chen. Please step aside to avoid implicating you," Shuangluo said with a salute.
Chen Yuze smiled and said generously: "I came here to resolve the grudges, how can I be afraid of difficulties and retreat!"
As he said this, he looked at You Chen: "Fellow Daoist You has already injured Miss Shuang's senior brother. Can you listen to my advice and take a step back and resolve the past grudges?"
You Chen looked suspicious, "You just said that you are from Tian Jing Sect?"
"Exactly!"
Chen Yuze looked calm, "I wonder if I am qualified to be this middleman?"
You Chen's expression changed constantly, and he suddenly laughed grimly: "I thought they recruited this wild man from somewhere, but it turns out he is a high-ranking cultivator from the Tianjing Sect. However, as far as I know, the Tianjing Sect has nothing to do with Yuanjing Mountain. Are you their mistress? Otherwise, what qualifications do you have to stand here! The Tianjing Sect should not be able to reach Qingtuo River!"
But everyone could tell that You Chen's words were a bit timid and they all started asking about the origins of Tian Jing Sect.
Qinghong was still in the mood to joke, "Junior sister, from what You said, Junior sister, you can resolve this difficulty by marrying Mr. Chen as your husband."
Shuangluo countered, "Why not Senior Sister?"
"I'm just worried that they won't look down on me!"
Qing Hong said seriously, "This Mr. Chen's coming is strange, Junior Sister, don't be fooled by his appearance, be careful."
Shuangluo said in a serious tone: "Junior sister, please don't worry! But, how can we break the impasse without external help? Do we really want them to force Master out of seclusion?"
Qinghong looked heavy-hearted. She and Shuangluo had prepared some backup plans to delay time, but they could no longer use them because Qingyan had lost the bet. It was clearly a dead end.
But You Chen did not give them time to think and immediately ordered the monks of Qingjiang Sect to attack with all their strength.
