At this moment, I understood why the old Daoist priest was so shocked after hearing my name. No wonder he invited me to the Celestial Master Mansion. It wasn't because of his respect for my identity, but because he wanted to calm me down so that he could report to his superiors. I had a good impression of this old Daoist priest.
The fat Daoist priest's words seemed to be correct. Currently, only Mount Longhu had the inheritance of the Eight Great Daoist Mantras. However, it didn't mean that Mount Longhu had the rights to them.
It was said that the Eight Great Daoist Mantras were passed down by the Three Pure Daoist Ancestors. Mount Longhu was the place where the Three Pure Daoist Ancestors passed down their inheritance, but which one in this world didn't have the inheritance of the Three Pure Daoist Ancestors?
I coldly looked at the fat Daoist priest and raised my voice. "The Eight Great Daoist Mantras were passed down by the Three Pure Daoist Ancestors. It's true that Mount Longhu has the inheritance, but just because you have the inheritance of the Three Pure Daoist Ancestors, you forbid others from receiving the inheritance of the Three Pure Daoist Ancestors?
What kind of logic is that? "
The fat Daoist priest acted as if it was only natural and said with a mocking tone, "Of course, our Mount Longhu doesn't forbid others from receiving the inheritance of the Three Pure Daoist Ancestors. However, we forbid those who aren't from our sect from receiving the inheritance of the Three Pure Daoist Ancestors!
Moreover, only our Mount Longhu has the inheritance of the Eight Great Daoist Ancestors. Where did you get them?
Don't tell me that the Three Pure Daoist Ancestors personally passed them down to you! "
I shook my head. "Of course, I don't have that kind of fortune. I saw these two Divine Daoist Ancestors in an ancient book. Then, I studied them and gradually understood them."
"Ancient book?"
The fat Daoist priest's tone was still full of mockery. "Then, show us the ancient book you mentioned. I'm afraid it's not an ancient book from Mount Longhu."
My expression darkened. This fat Daoist's words had gone too far. Who in this world would allow someone to show their inheritance to outsiders?
Before I could say anything, the fat Daoist on the side spoke first. He smiled mockingly and said to the fat Daoist, "Then why is your Longhu Mountain always talking about the Eight Great Divine Incantations and the Mighty Scripture of the Righteous Alliance? They are all inheritances of your Longhu Mountain. Why don't you show us the 'Righteous One' and the 'Supreme Mystery Scripture'?"
"Who are you?" The fat Daoist priest's face darkened. He gloomily turned around and glared at the fat Daist priest.
The fatty wanted to say something, but I reached out and pulled him back. After all, we were on Mount Longhu. It was better to be cautious.
After stopping the fat man, I looked at the fat Daoist and said, "I have indeed seen these two incantations from other ancient books. Moreover, I can guarantee that those ancient books have nothing to do with your Dragon Tiger Mountain's inheritance. If you don't believe me, I can swear on my dao heart."
The Dao Heart Oath was made with the blood of one's heart and the soul of one's middle finger as a guide.
Once the oath was made, if one were to do anything out of the ordinary, their Dao Heart would collapse. Although it wouldn't be fatal, their cultivation realm would never be able to advance for the rest of their lives.
With my age and talent, a Dao Heart Oath is already enough to guarantee that I'm not lying.
By saying this much, I had already crossed my bottom line. Unexpectedly, the fat Daoist sneered again. "Swear on your Dao heart?
This matter concerns the orthodoxy of Mount Longhu. What does your Dao heart count for? "
As soon as he finished speaking, I suddenly raised my head and stared at him. I sternly asked, "What does my Dao heart count for?
I have the talent of the top four meridians. In the metaphysics world, I'm a genius that only appears once in a thousand years. If you have even the slightest understanding of metaphysics, you should know what this means! "
The fat Daoist was stunned for a moment. Then, he seemed to become angry out of humiliation. He waved his sleeve and said angrily, "I don't care who you are. Today, unless you destroy your own cultivation and hand over the ancient books you mentioned, you can't leave the mountain. Otherwise, you will have to stay in the Celestial Master Mansion for a few days and wait for me to report to the Celestial Master before making a decision."
Destroy my own cultivation?
Hand over the ancient books?
I even put away the sneer on my face and silently began to mobilize my Dao Qi. From the fat Daoist's tone, the Celestial Master Sect was obviously not going to let this go.
At this moment, Ye Pianpian, who had been standing silently to the side, suddenly opened her mouth and asked the fat Daoist coldly, "What's your name? What position do you hold in the Celestial Master Sect?"
The fat Daoist was stunned by her condescending words. After looking Ye Pianpian up and down, he asked angrily, "And who are you?
How can a little girl like you ask for my name? "
Ye Pianpian didn't speak at all. She just stood there and continued to look at him coldly.
At this moment, the old Daoist who had brought us here first hurriedly stood up and went to the fat Daoist's side, whispering to him about Ye Pianpian's identity.
The anger on the fat Daoist's face immediately dissipated. After a long silence, he reluctantly opened his mouth and said to Ye Pianpian, "I'm Chen Yangting, temporarily the hall master of the Xuan Altar Hall of the Celestial Master Mansion. The Xuan Altar Hall is in charge of all the external affairs of the Celestial Master Mansion. The loss of the incantation to an outsider is our duty. Vice President Ye, please don't blame us."
There were two halls in the Celestial Master Mansion. The Xuan Altar Hall was in charge of all external affairs, while the Real Martial Hall was in charge of all internal affairs. In terms of status, the hall master of the Xuan Altar Hall, Chen Yangting, was inferior to Ye Pianpian, so he had to speak politely.
He was polite, but Ye Pianpian wasn't polite at all. She continued, "According to Hall Master Chen, the affairs of the Metaphysics Society are also considered the external affairs of the Celestial Master Mansion and are under the jurisdiction of the Xuan Altar Hall?"
Her words were so harsh that even Celestial Master Zhang wouldn't dare to nod and admit it.
Chen Yangting's expression changed, but he finally shook his head and said, "I don't dare."
Ye Pianpian continued unceremoniously, "Since you don't dare, why do you care about the affairs of the Metaphysics Society?
Zhou Yi is a once-in-a-thousand-year genius of the Metaphysics Society. If anything happens to him in Longhu Mountain today, the Metaphysics Society won't let it go. When the Taoist and Xuan Sects fight, even Celestial Master Zhang won't be able to save your life! "
At this moment, Ye Pianpian didn't have her cold and silent appearance from before. Her gaze beneath her slightly frowning brows carried a frightening glow, and she seemed to be driving away annoying flies. She casually waved her hand and said coldly, "Now, either you attack us or fuck off!"
Chen Yangting's face suddenly turned the color of a pig's liver. He was so angry that his whole body seemed to be trembling, but he couldn't say a word. After standing there for a long time, he squeezed out three words through his teeth, "Let's go!"
After saying that, he lifted his foot and left, and the people behind him also followed him.
Even now, I still felt like I was dreaming. The arrogant and despotic fat Daoist, who looked as if he wanted to kill me, had been sent away by Ye Pianpian with just a few words. He could only leave, feeling wronged.
After they left, Ye Pianpian's arrogant expression disappeared, and she resumed her cold and silent appearance. She pointed in the direction of the Celestial Master's mansion and left first.
The fat man and I didn't dare to stay any longer. We quickly followed her and headed back to Shangqing Palace.
When we got out of Shangqing Palace, we bumped into a group of reporters. They were the same group that had surrounded Xu Ziyu and tried to interview her.
We wanted to walk around them, but who knew that the reporters would directly charge at me and surround me. In an instant, countless questions were thrown at me.
"Mister, what's your name?
What's your relationship with Xu Ziyu? Why did she let you in to talk? "
"Xu Ziyu became a monk. Did she sever all her emotions because of you?"
"Xu Ziyu is recognized as a pure and innocent girl in the entertainment circle. May I ask when you started dating her?"
A series of questions came from the reporters' mouths, which made me feel dizzy.
Never would I have thought that these reporters would be able to link so many things to me in an instant, just because they saw me entering the side chamber.
I waved my hand, indicating that I didn't want to be interviewed. Then, I prepared to squeeze through the crowd.
However, when the reporters saw that I wanted to leave, they tightened their encirclement. It seemed they didn't want to let me go.
I was a little annoyed. I guided a small flow of Dao energy to cover my entire body. Then, I continued to squeeze through the crowd. The reporters couldn't squeeze through, so they could only watch me squeeze through the crowd. Together with the fat man and Ye Pianpian, we left Mount Tianmen and headed to the outside of Mount Longhu.
By the time we got out of Mount Longhu, it was getting late. The fat man suggested that we find a place to stay in Guixi City for the night and leave tomorrow morning.
At first, Ye Pianpian and I agreed. However, after a few steps, Ye Pianpian suddenly frowned and said to us, "We don't need to stay here tonight. Let's find a car and leave."
The fat man and I were surprised. Before we could ask, Ye Pianpian turned to look behind us and said with a serious face, "Someone's following us."
Someone's following us!
After what happened in the Celestial Master's mansion, we didn't need to guess who was following us. It was definitely someone from Mount Longhu.
