When he talked about these things, Grandmaster Chen looked emotional. I listened attentively. After all, he was a man who had been through a lot. There were many things that I could learn from him.
After chatting for a while, Grandmaster Chen suddenly changed the topic. "By the way, Xiao Zhuang, didn't Grandmaster Yuan ask you to catch the witch Ye Ji? Have you made any progress?"
Grandmaster Chen's question put me in a difficult position. I couldn't tell him the truth. After all, the Soul Suppressor was not only an excellent soul tool, but it could also block the aura of the Blood Spirit Pearl. This was very important. If I returned the Soul Suppressor to Grandmaster Yuan, the Blood Spirit Pearl would become a hot potato.
I shook my head and explained, "I don't know if she sensed something or if she was afraid of me. Anyway, she hasn't come to me since then."
Although it was not right to lie to Grandmaster Chen, I had my own ideas. It was not wrong to say that I was selfish. I didn't hesitate before handing over the Hellfire Mirror. Now that things had come to this, I would not allow the same thing to happen again. Moreover, I felt that it was better to control my own fate than to leave it to others.
This time, I was captured and brought to the capital. If I hadn't used my absolute strength to make the two elders of the Wudang Sect afraid of me, I wouldn't have been able to benefit from this disaster.
No matter what, this was a lesson. I also understood that at any time, I must hold the initiative in my own hands. Fortunately, Instructor Jiang wasn't a despicable person. If I made a fool of myself in Nanyun, I'm afraid that my reputation would be ruined.
"Oh, then you should be careful. To be honest, I don't know why the Blood Demon hasn't done anything to you. What secrets does he have? But this is good. It gives you enough time to catch your breath." Grandmaster Chen did not suspect me and said anxiously.
Let alone him, I didn't know the answer to this question either. However, based on the conversation between the witch Ye Ji and the Blood Spirit Pearl in the stone room, I had a guess. Maybe I was the sacrifice to wake up the Lord Monarch …
In fact, in the movies and TV series, there were many scenes of ancient emperors offering sacrifices to the Heavens. They slaughtered pigs and sheep. In some dramas with demons and ghosts, they even used virgin boys and girls to replace livestock.
When I thought that I might be a sacrifice, I felt a little strange. It seemed that this was the only explanation as to why the Blood Demon hadn't killed me yet.
Not long after, the two of us returned to the Guowei Dojo. The group of familiar juniors rushed to greet me one by one. I was in a good mood, so I gave them some rank 3 pills.
Just as our Guowei Martial Arts School was in high spirits, the three people from Wudang ordered a table of sumptuous dishes in a private room of a luxury hotel in Beijing.
"Zhi Chen, eat more. You can also take a photo as a souvenir. No matter what, at least you've been to the capital." Seeing his disciple's dejected look, Elder Guo comforted him.
"Master, I've lost all my face. How can I be in the mood to eat? Right now, I can't wait to press that brat to the ground and rub him!" Qiu Zhichen said gloomily.
"Don't say such useless words. He lost because he was not as skilled as others. It is not a bad thing for a man to experience some setbacks," Elder Xiang, who was at the side, said unhappily.
"Why don't we find a suitable opportunity to attack that brat? With the strength of Third Uncle-Master and my master, it will definitely be a piece of cake." Qiu Zhichen winked and suggested.
"No, that's what a despicable person would do. Our Wudang is a prestigious sect. We can't do this kind of thing." Elder Xiang rejected him without hesitation.
"Aiya, Third Uncle-Master, special circumstances require special treatment. That is the supreme skill of our Wudang. Logically speaking, that brat should be thankful that he is fated to learn it. Yet, he refuses to share it with Wudang. Does he really think that he is an indomitable big shot?" Qiu Zhichen said indignantly.
"Well, what Zhi Chen said makes sense. He doesn't have the right to monopolize it." Elder Guo couldn't help but echo.
"Alright, there's no need to say anymore. Fifth Brother, neither you nor I have the right to decide. This matter is of great importance. Let's go back and report to the Sect Leader and see what he plans to do." Elder Guo waved his hand and once again rejected their encouragement.
Even if he can get rid of me without anyone knowing, it's no wonder that he would arouse suspicion. Moreover, he can't get over the barrier in his heart.
Since that brat was able to learn the True Martial Seven Absolutes by chance, even if it was God's will, even if it was another genius disciple, they might not be able to cultivate the True Martial Seven Absolutes.
Now that it was a troubled time, they might have to rely on that brat to eradicate the Blood Demon in the future. Moreover, if he failed, Wudang would be humiliated. With the Sect Leader's personality, they might not even be able to keep their positions as Elders!
"Alright …" Seeing that Elder Xiang was so determined, he didn't say anything else.
Then, Elder Xiang glanced at Qiu Zhichen. "Zhichen, Third Martial Uncle just wants to tell you one thing. Get up from where you fell. Anyway, you're just a little injured, so it doesn't matter. Ten days later, there will be a grand and unprecedented promotion competition. That brat will also participate. If you can defeat him in the competition, the whole martial arts world will applaud and cheer for you, including the little junior sister from Emei Sect who you miss so much."
Although Elder Xiang was very sincere in encouraging him, Qiu Zhichen did not listen to him. The power of the move that could wipe out an army of a thousand gave him an unprecedented shock. That was a fear that came from the depths of his soul, or rather, a curse. If he really met it, he did not have any confidence at all, not to mention taking revenge.
Therefore, Qiu Zhichen had a crooked idea, hoping that the two Elders could seize the opportunity. It turned out that his wishful thinking didn't work. He nodded, but there was a flash of resentment in his eyes …
I stayed in Guowei Martial Arts School for a while, and then went to the hospital with Grandmaster Chen to visit Ye Duzui.
