Xie Lige put the bamboo stick in his hand on his waist and narrowed his eyes at the women in white standing in front of him.
The leader of the women in white looked at Xie Lige and said, "Honored guests, please excuse me for not going out to meet you."
Xie Lige smiled and said, "The Holy Water Palace is indeed very resourceful. Everyone says that the Holy Water Palace is reclusive, but it seems that the reclusive ones are the most well-informed."
Gong Nanyan said coldly, "No matter how well-informed you are, you're still the Great Elder of A Gang of Beggars."
Xie Lige stopped smiling and said indifferently, "Since that's the case, the Holy Water Palace dares to come to A Gang of Beggars and forcibly kidnap the next leader. Although my old bones are useless, I won't let anyone bully me!"
It had to be said that a young man in his prime was acting like an old man. It was very strange.
Gong Nanyan and the others did not dare to act rashly. Their eyes were full of vigilance as they looked at Xie Lige, who was tiptoeing on the surface of the lake.
Gong Nanyan saw very clearly that this person's shoes were not wet at all. He stood very casually on the surface of the water, but the rolling waves did not wet his very ordinary shoes. Obviously, his martial arts were very profound, which also confirmed the words in the information she had read.
The Great Elder of A Gang of Beggars was unfathomable.
Age, appearance, and martial arts.
Time seemed to have stopped on his face, making him look like a young man. Time seemed to favor him because his martial arts were completely accumulated over time.
Gong Nanyan stopped and then looked at Xie Lige. She said with a cold face, "The Holy Water Palace lost the Tianyi Holy Water." Lost things must be found.
The reason why the Holy Water Palace had captured Nangong Ling was because they suspected that he had something to do with the Tianyi Holy Water.
Xie Lige smiled, but his eyes were full of coldness. "You're really interesting. If you lost it, go find it yourself. Why did you drag someone who doesn't want to do it for no reason? No matter what, we have to go through this."
Gong Nanyan didn't say anything. She silently drew her sword and faced Xie Lige with a defensive posture.
"Stop, you are no match for him."
A pillar of water suddenly surged up from the calm surface of the lake. After rising for about ten meters, it splashed out in all directions. At the top of this pillar of water sat a white-robed man.
The starlight was brilliant, and the water column was also sparkling.
All of the white-clothed women had already retreated, leaving only the leader, Gong Nanyan. Gong Nanyan flew behind the white-clothed woman and looked at Xie Lige with a cold expression.
Xie Lige was not anxious at all. Instead, he looked at the grand entrance of Jellyfish with a look of admiration. He felt very regretful. He felt that his entrance just now was not cool at all.
If he had known earlier, he would have used his Qing Gong to come over!
Jellyfish looked at Xie Lige. Her eyes narrowed and her voice changed. "It's you!"
"Do you know me?" Xie Lige asked in return.
From Jellyfish's reaction just now, not only did she know him, but she was also very familiar with him. However, Xie Lige didn't remember such a person.
"You're actually not dead yet!" Jellyfish didn't answer his question.
When Xie Lige heard this, he remembered. He looked at Jellyfish. "You're the little fellow beside Wu Yazi back then?"
Back then, when he had just transmigrated, he was still in his second year of middle school. He was poisoned by the popular novels of Qidian. In order to increase his reputation, he took a stick and beat up various sects. At that time, he didn't even let off the leader of an assassin organization. He also had the strength and background to be arrogant.
Everyone with a bit of reputation had been beaten by him.
Wu Yazi was the most powerful one among them. He fought with him for three days and three nights. If it wasn't for this body's own blood, he would have been defeated and died by Wu Yazi's hands.
Jellyfish didn't say anything. She never thought that after living for so many years, she would actually meet someone who could fight with her master and even defeat him. She couldn't imagine how strong this person's inner strength had become after so many years.
At this moment, No Flower and Nangong Ling, who were hiding beside a big rock, heard this sentence and their hearts were in turmoil. The two of them looked at each other and simultaneously had the same question. How long had this person in front of them lived?
Jellyfish had become famous a long time ago. She had become a legend in the Jianghu. Xie Lige was even familiar with her master. Hearing Jellyfish's words, Xie Lige was even better than her master.
No Flower took a deep breath. He knew that his plan couldn't be carried out.
He understood people's hearts. The higher a person's martial arts was, the more unusual his character would be. He hated it when people tried to scheme under his nose. What he wanted to do now might even cost him his life.
Thinking of this, No Flower couldn't help but look at Nangong Ling, who was smiling when he saw his master coming to save someone. He couldn't help but frown. Could it be that dumb people really have dumb luck?
[Beep!
Your mission completion rate has reached 50%!]
At the same time, Xie Lige suddenly remembered his own notification.
Xie Lige asked in his heart, "What's going on, system?"
[Beep!
No Flower's affinity with Nangong Ling has increased to 50%!]
Xie Lige didn't say anything. Or rather, he didn't know what to say. Everything happened too fast. How could he have met his old friend's disciple as soon as he arrived? The latter seemed to be doing well. His two cheap sons were also getting along well. In the past, they were stuck at 40%, but today, they suddenly crossed the 50 mark.
Xie Lige felt that it wasn't easy for him. At least after reaching 50%, he didn't have to worry about No Flower poisoning Nangong Ling, that silly child.
Thinking of this, he felt much better. He didn't even care that Gong Nanyan, who was hiding behind Jellyfish, was glaring at him fiercely.
He didn't say anything. Instead, it was Jellyfish who opened her mouth.
Jellyfish, who was sitting on the water column, looked at Xie Lige with her eyes like torches. She straightened her back and said in a cold voice, "However, I still have to forgive you for trespassing into my Holy Water Temple. Why don't we have a fight?"
Xie Lige took the bamboo stick from his waist and held it with one hand. He looked forward and glanced at Jellyfish's expressionless face, "Very well. Let me see how much your martial arts have improved."
"But …" Xie Lige narrowed his eyes, "I have a problem. I don't like to raise my head to look at people."
The atmosphere suddenly became heavy.
Xie Lige said word by word. His momentum slowly rose and became oppressive. When it reached No Flower and Nangong Ling, they felt a chill on their bodies. Then, as if their necks were tied by something, it began to tighten slowly. It gradually became difficult to breathe.
All of a sudden, they couldn't move.
No Flower felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. He originally thought that he had overestimated Xie Lige's martial arts, but in the end, he found that he still underestimated him. Just his momentum was enough to make him unable to resist. He didn't know what would happen if they really fought.
A trace of struggle and hesitation flashed through his dark eyes. In the end, he didn't leave. He chose to stay here. He had a thought. Perhaps this was his only chance to leave the desert.
The situation on the lake began to reach a stalemate. Suddenly, someone moved.
Xie Lige moved first.
The green stick in his hand seemed to have a life of its own. It densely formed a net. Bamboo leaves rolled in the green waves of air. Xie Lige directly swung it at Jellyfish who was on the water column.
"Raising the Dog to the Sky!"
Jellyfish immediately dodged to the side. The water column below her immediately dispersed. She flew and landed on the lake. At the same time, the water on the lake began to become turbulent.
Jellyfish's name had the word 'water' in it. How could her martial arts not be related to water?
In the next second, a huge water column gushed out in front of Xie Lige. Xie Lige directly swung his stick to kill the water column.
Then, the stick in his hand seemed to be glued to Jellyfish's body. It was up, down, left, and right. There wasn't a single gap.
Jellyfish was knocked back two steps by his stick. Then, Xie Lige used a series of moves to interrupt her movements.
No Flower and Nangong Ling opened their mouths wide as they looked at the white clothed Jellyfish in the air. She was like a leaf that had fallen into the water. She floated on the surface of the water, but she was hit by Xie Lige's stick. In the next second, Xie Lige was in the air again. He swung his stick down like a spinning top.
Jellyfish's heart was filled with shock. "She can't move."
Her inner energy did not seem to listen to her at all. Every time the rod touched her body, a thin thread of inner energy would enter her body. Her inner energy would be completely sealed in her dantian, and she would not be able to use it at all.
She suddenly remembered something. Before she left the assassin organization, her master, Wu Yazi, had once searched the world for a technique that didn't require inner energy to be stored in the dantian. Thinking about it carefully, it was after a battle with this person in front of her.
Nangong Ling was also stunned. He knew that his Old Master was very powerful, but he didn't expect her to be this powerful. This was Jellyfish, not some random cat or dog. Ever since Ye Di and the others left the Jianghu and established the Iron and Blood Banner Sect, the entire Jianghu was under Jellyfish's rule. Whether it was admitted or not, she was a person who had dominated the Jianghu for many years.
And such a person couldn't even fight back in the hands of his Old Master.
Nangong Ling's first thought was that his Old Master had been merciful when he dealt with him a few days ago. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was right. He muttered, "Oh my god …"
He wouldn't dare to court death again.
No Flower wasn't any better than Nangong Ling at this moment. When he saw Jellyfish being hit into the water by Xie Lige's stick, his face fell into a long silence.
The two of them were too shocked by the scene in front of them and couldn't recover for a long time. When they finally came back to their senses, they were shocked by Xie Lige's face in front of them.
"Did you enjoy watching?"
Xie Lige had long noticed that there were two people hiding on the rock. When Jellyfish hid under the water and didn't come out, he wasn't in a hurry to chase after her. Instead, he came to the side of the rock and smiled at the two dazed little guys.
Little did they know that he had just taught them a lesson.
"Yes!" Nangong Ling nodded fearlessly.
Xie Lige smiled and slapped him on the head, causing the latter to stagger. "Then learn well!"
Then, his gaze stopped at No Flower, who had a gentle expression on his face but a hidden vigilance in his eyes. He spoke, but not to No Flower. He spoke to Nangong Ling. "Is this the brother you were talking about?"
"Yes!" Nangong Ling said.
Xie Lige nodded. Then, he carried one in each hand and activated his Great Qinggong. He began to fly in the direction of A gang of beggars.
