The old Daoist didn't feel offended after seeing my tit for tat. Instead, he chuckled and continued, "It's true that knowing someone by their reputation isn't as good as meeting them in person. You're really arrogant... Forget it. Our Mount Longhu has always been fair. Daozi, this matter isn't entirely your fault. In fact, the Lu family's kid is more guilty.
According to what I know, you and Lu Zhenyang are mortal enemies. How about this, you tell me Lu Zhenyang's whereabouts, and I'll go find him to understand the situation before deciding the two of you. What do you think? "
His words were reasonable and even had a hint of pity in them. However, I was shocked.
Mount Longhu has always been fair?
How could he say such shameless words in such a serious manner?
Apart from being shameless, I was also surprised that he would ask about Lu Zhenyang's whereabouts.
Back in Chiyou's Tomb, the people of Mount Longhu had obviously reached an agreement with Lu Zhenyang to deal with me.
Daozi's whereabouts had disappeared. From what the old Daoist said, it seemed that Mount Longhu had placed their focus on Lu Zhenyang. In order to find Lu Zhenyang's whereabouts, they would even let me go. This was really unimaginable.
There must be a reason for something that was beyond common sense.
Mount Longhu had to have a reason for wanting to find Lu Zhenyang.
And this reason was obviously more important than me.
What did Lu Zhenyang have?
The power of Mount Longhu could be said to be one of the best in the world of Metaphysics. Although Lu Zhenyang had received Chiyou's inheritance and the Chiyou Axe, these things alone weren't enough for Mount Longhu to covet.
From the current situation, it was clear that Mount Longhu had a bigger plan.
After thinking for a while, I couldn't figure out what the people of Mount Longhu were planning. However, no matter what they were planning, I didn't want them to succeed.
Thus, even though I knew that Lu Zhenyang was most likely still in Chiyou's Tomb, I still shook my head. "Since you know that we are archenemies, you don't dare to come and ask me.
If I knew his whereabouts, I would have already gone there and killed him. You wouldn't even have the chance to ask me. "
After hearing my words, the old Daoist was startled, as though he had acknowledged my words. However, after a moment, he shook his head and said, "That's impossible. A few days ago, we searched everywhere for people who were proficient in divination to divine Lu Zhenyang's location. All the signs pointed to you.
No matter how you look at it, the results of the physical examination can't be wrong. There must be a clue on you! "
Test?
I furrowed my brows. Just what was Mount Longhu planning? They invited all the divination experts in the world … just to find Lu Zhenyang?
Without waiting for me to understand, the old Taoist priest changed his expression and continued to say to me, "Little friend Zhou Yi, I admit that there was some conflict between you and our Dragon Tiger Mountain, but that was then and this is now.
We are looking for Lu Zhenyang because we want to cause trouble for him. You and he are mortal enemies. As long as you tell us his location, we will help you take revenge. Such a good thing, why wouldn't you be happy?
Just because of our previous transgressions, you don't want to give up such a great opportunity to take revenge? "
I was speechless. This Yang God Celestial Master of Mount Longhu was really shameless. In order to get information, he would do anything. Just now, he looked like he wanted to kill me, but now, he became 'Little friend Zhou Yi' and said that he wanted to take revenge for me … At that moment, I didn't know what to say.
While I was stunned, the old Taoist priest seemed to want to persuade me again. However, his expression suddenly changed and he said in shock, "You don't want to reveal Lu Zhenyang's location … Could it be that you have already taken the key?"
After saying this, he suddenly came to a realization and said, "That's right!
You have no reason to protect Lu Zhenyang. The reason why you didn't say it must be that you already have the key and are afraid that we will find out!
Good lad, you actually have such a scheming mind! "
Key … I wasn't unfamiliar with this word. Back then, in the Yinshang Royal Tomb, the woman that appeared from the bronze coffin, including Ye Pianpian and Ye Maolan, were the keys to the legendary 'Gate of Eternal Life'. The word that the old Taoist mentioned was naturally referring to this key.
However, from what he said, it seemed that Lu Zhenyang had the 'key'?
I frowned and reacted. After coming out of the Yinshang Royal Tomb, the Celestial Masters of Daoism, Xuan Dao, and Longhu Mountain, a total of eighteen people, all died.
At first, I thought that it was the evil sacrificial spirit who did it. Later on, I heard him say that it wasn't. Moreover, Lu Zhenyang came back to life, so I guessed that it was Lu Zhenyang who killed those people.
Now that I heard the old Taoist say that the key was in Lu Zhenyang's hands, it was basically confirmed that Lu Zhenyang killed those people and that woman ended up in Lu Zhenyang's hands.
The old Taoist in front of me, or rather, Longhu Mountain, came to find me to find Lu Zhenyang, or rather, to find the key in Lu Zhenyang's hands!
It was no wonder why his attitude had changed so much. He had threatened and tempted me. It turned out that everything was because of the so-called 'key'!
As soon as I understood the secret, the old Taoist grinned fiendishly. He didn't look as friendly as before. With a cold voice, he said, "That kid from the Lu family used the key to cooperate with us. However, he didn't want to give us the key. I didn't expect that he would end up in Chiyou's tomb.
If he had given the key to Longhu Mountain earlier, you wouldn't have had the chance to reap the benefits! "
After listening to him, I couldn't help but wryly smile.
This was the right attitude. Not distinguishing between right and wrong, and not listening to reason, that was how people of Longhu Mountain acted.
I didn't want to explain to him. No matter what he wanted, I only knew that the people of Longhu Mountain had chased us to the Fengshui Metaphysics Shop and even injured Zhang Kanwen. No matter what their purpose was, I wouldn't let this old Taoist go that easily.
As for the 'Immortal Gate' and the 'key', I didn't covet them. That was why I didn't care about them.
The old Taoist from Longhu Mountain wore a cold smile on his face. He didn't want to talk to me anymore. He waved his hand, and the scenery around us suddenly changed. All the furniture in the room disappeared, leaving only the two of us standing in an empty wasteland.
It was just like when the Heavenly Fan was given to me by the Patriarch. I thought that the old Taoist had brought me to an illusory world. However, after releasing my spiritual sense to check, I found that this place was real and not an illusory world.
The old Daoist waved his hand casually and used a technique that could shrink the ground into inches, bringing me far away to another place.
This skill was comparable to the Heaven Measuring Ruler.
Longhu Mountain was worthy of being an orthodox Daoist sect that had existed for several thousand years. It was extraordinary that they could casually use such an immortal skill.
The old Taoist didn't give me much time to sigh. He stood in front of me and gave me his last warning. "Kid, I advise you to give us the key. You should know that treasuring a jade ring will cause you to get into trouble."
I smiled at him. "You're wrong. I don't understand that."
After hearing my words, the old Taoist's face flashed with anger. He didn't waste time talking. He waved his hand and shouted, "Go!"
As he moved, a talisman wrapped in the Qi of the Way rushed out of his mouth and directly into the sky.
Longhu Mountain's main cultivation was talisman magic, so they used talismans most of the time when they fought.
The old Taoist in front of me had the Yang Spirit Realm, so he didn't need to use cinnabar or yellow paper to make talismans. During the battle, the talismans automatically generated in the veins of the heavens and shot out.
Since he used the power of the Yang Spirit, the power of this talisman had reached the level of a golden talisman.
In the blink of an eye, the sky above my head darkened. Then, thunderclouds rolled, and the power of thunder and lightning gathered.
This scene was somewhat familiar. Back then, under Longhu Mountain, the Temple Master of the Black Altar, Chen Yangting, had also used the Heavenly Thunder Talisman.
However, at that time, we only had the Shiyao cultivation base, and the power of the Heavenly Thunder Talisman was much weaker than it was today.
The Heavenly Thunder Talisman in front of me couldn't be compared to back then. In terms of power, it was thousands of times stronger than before. I wasn't completely confident that I could withstand it alone.
While I was thinking, the first lightning bolt came from the rolling dark clouds and struck towards me.
The Heavenly Thunder of Longhu Mountain never gave people the chance to dodge. So, I filled the Armor Remover Sword with Daoist energy and stood at my original position. I held the Armor Remover Sword and struck the lightning bolt.
Fortunately, it was only the first lightning bolt, so its power wasn't too strong. After colliding with the Armor Remover Sword energy, they canceled each other out.
When the first lightning bolt dissipated, the Armor Remover Sword was once again filled with Daoist energy.
The old Taoist obviously didn't want to give me time to catch my breath. Soon, the second lightning bolt struck. I raised my sword again. This time, the Armor Remover Sword and the lightning bolt were in a stalemate for a few seconds before dissipating.
Although I was still able to withstand it, I felt the Armor Remover Sword tremble during the process.
The power of each lightning bolt was several times stronger than the previous one. I didn't know if the Armor Remover Sword could withstand the third lightning bolt.
This was an important matter, so I didn't dare to test it out.
I had no choice but to play it safe. I put the Armor Remover Sword away and took out the Xuan Yuan Sword from my mouth.
When the old Taoist saw that I was holding the Xuan Yuan Sword, he was shocked. Then, he became overjoyed. It seemed that he recognized the Xuan Yuan Sword.
His eyes were filled with greed. He clicked his tongue and said, "With your strength, you don't deserve the Xuan Yuan Sword.
I'll give you another chance. If you hand over the key and the Xuan Yuan Sword, I won't take your life. "
I ignored his chatter and focused on pouring Daoist energy into the Xuan Yuan Sword, preparing to receive the third lightning bolt.
After a while, the dark clouds rolled even more violently and slowly approached me. The feeling of suppression was becoming more and more obvious.
In the blink of an eye, the third lightning bolt came from the dark clouds and struck towards me.
I knew that the power of the third lightning bolt would be ferocious, so I didn't dare to be careless.
Almost at the same time that the lightning bolt struck, the Xuan Yuan Sword energy left the dark clouds and rushed towards it.
This time, the sound of the collision was even louder. Waves of air blew the surrounding soil up.
Fortunately, when the rumbling sound dissipated, the lightning bolt also disappeared.
Seeing this, I heaved a sigh of relief and turned around to face the old Taoist.
