Chapter 1709 Cooperation
“It’s very possible. If that’s the case, it would be too chaotic,” Daoist Master Jingyin said helplessly.
“Then how about we cooperate?”
Chen Xuan smiled.
“What do you want to do?”
Daoist Master Jingyin was full of vigilance, feeling that Chen Xuan was simply too dangerous.
“We’re just cooperating, so that if a major change occurs after entering the Bronze Gate, it will be convenient.”
Chen Xuan had a feeling that a major change would occur after entering the Bronze Gate. If he could have Daoist Master Jingyin as an ally, it would be a great thing for him.
Daoist Master Jingyin hesitated for a moment and agreed, “However, if you dare to betray Xuanmen, I will never let you go!”
This time, she said betray Xuanmen, not the Old Ancestor of Xuanmen.
This showed that in her heart, the Old Ancestor of Xuanmen was far less important than Xuanmen. In the end, she believed in Xuanmen, not the Old Ancestor of Xuanmen.
“I promise you!”
Chen Xuan nodded. “We can also investigate what the Old Ancestor of Xuanmen, the Old Ancestor of the Hun Family, and the Dragon Gate are up to!”
“Then see you tomorrow.”
Daoist Master Jingyin turned to leave, but Chen Xuan grabbed her arm, “Don’t be in a hurry!”
“What do you want to do?”
“You haven’t played the true Eight Sounds of Heavenly Demon yet.”
“You’re not worthy?”
Daoist Master Jingyin picked up her zither and turned to leave.
Chen Xuan also pouted.
When they reached the doorway, Daoist Master Jingyin said, “Whether it’s the Eight Sounds of Heavenly Demon or the reversed Eight Sounds of Heavenly Demon, you can only listen to it once, otherwise your meridians will reverse.”
“So that’s how it is.”
Chen Xuan muttered.
He sat cross-legged, preparing to stabilize his current realm.
But at this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door from outside: “Chen Xuan, you little bastard, get out here!”
The Sloppy Daoist?
Chen Xuan’s expression changed drastically upon hearing the tone.
Could it be that his leaking of the Sloppy Daoist’s whereabouts had brought the Sloppy Daoist great trouble?
“It’s over, I have to slip away quickly!”
Chen Xuan rushed to the window, but at this moment, the Sloppy Daoist had already broken in and yelled at Chen Xuan, who was about to climb out the window, “Chen Xuan, stop right there!”
“Sloppy Daoist? I didn’t even hear you call me? Is there something?”
Chen Xuan jumped down from the window and said with a smile.
The Sloppy Daoist rolled his eyes.
Who would believe that?
“I’m asking you, did you tell my senior brother my whereabouts?”
The Sloppy Daoist questioned.
“Where did I?”
Chen Xuan said solemnly.
“Really?”
The Sloppy Daoist stared intently at Chen Xuan.
“It’s absolutely true, there’s no doubt about it. If you don’t believe me, you can ask my old leader.” Chen Xuan gritted his teeth.
“You’re sensible.”
The Sloppy Daoist said, “Do you know why I left the Dao Sect?”
“I want to know, of course I want to know!”
Everyone has a gossipy heart, and Chen Xuan was no exception.
As soon as the words left his mouth, Chen Xuan’s expression changed.
This guy was too cunning, he had tricked himself!
“Didn’t you say you didn’t know?” The Sloppy Daoist sneered with disdain and contempt.
Chen Xuan coughed twice, his momentum undiminished, “Isn’t this all for you brothers to reunite?”
“I don’t believe you!”
The Sloppy Daoist cursed.
Chen Xuan asked curiously, “Sloppy Daoist, why did you leave the Dao Sect?”
“Why should I tell you?”
“Just tell me, and I can lend you one of the three divine artifacts of Japan. You can pick any one,” Chen Xuan said with a smile.
“You said that.”
Upon hearing this, the Sloppy Daoist couldn’t resist the temptation and said, “Give me the divine artifact first, then I’ll talk.”
“What do you want?”
Chen Xuan rolled his eyes, this guy was too sly.
The Sloppy Daoist said, “Don’t look at me like that, I know you better than you know yourself.”
“Okay, okay, what do you want?”
Chen Xuan asked.
“Yasakani no Magatama!” the Sloppy Daoist said without hesitation.
Chen Xuan was very surprised.
Among the three divine artifacts, the Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi had extremely strong destructive power, the Yata no Kagami had extremely strong defensive power, and the Yasakani no Magatama could rapidly improve cultivation. Relatively speaking, this Yasakani no Magatama was the least impressive.
He did not expect this Sloppy Daoist to choose such a thing.
“Do you want to choose another one?”
“No need!”
“Here, take it!”
Chen Xuan gave the Yasakani no Magatama to the Sloppy Daoist.
“Thank you, thank you!”
The Sloppy Daoist took the Yasakani no Magatama with a smile and stuffed it into his embrace.
Seeing the Sloppy Daoist’s expression, Chen Xuan’s heart sank.
This was bad, this Sloppy Daoist was deliberately here to trick him!
“Hurry up and speak!”
“It’s nothing much. When I went down the mountain to travel, I met a girl, and I fell in love with her. I planned to marry her, have children, and stay on the mountain for the rest of my life.”
The Sloppy Daoist said, “But the Dao Sect summoned me back because of Senior Brother Fahua’s matter, asking me to inherit the position of Sect Master of the Dao Sect.”
“Naturally, I refused.”
“That day, she wanted to eat rock candy, so I went to town to buy it. When I returned, the girl I liked and her entire family had been killed. The martial arts they used were indeed Dao Sect martial arts.”
“So, I killed my way into the Dao Sect and questioned Senior Brother Qianyuan, but Senior Brother Qianyuan did not admit it. I punched the gate of the Dao Sect, collapsing it. With my second punch, I collapsed the main hall, and with my third punch, I severely injured my Senior Brother Qianyuan.”
“Then, I left the Dao Sect while being pursued by everyone.”
The Sloppy Daoist narrated calmly, appearing neither happy nor sad, but Chen Xuan could still hear the sadness and anger in the Sloppy Daoist’s voice.
Chen Xuan said, “The reason you left without causing a massacre was probably because you weren’t sure if it was the Dao Sect’s doing?”
“Yes, but at that time, I was blinded by anger and did many irrational things. However, later, I realized that it didn’t seem simple.”
The Sloppy Daoist said, “So I started investigating this matter.”
“How is the investigation going?”
Chen Xuan asked.
“I think someone wants our Dao Sect to fall apart, so as to weaken the strength of the entire Xuanmen. If my guess is correct, it should be the work of the Dragon Gate or the Old Ancestor of the Hun Family.”
The Sloppy Daoist said, “I originally planned to find clues in the last action to find the secret to longevity, but I didn’t find any.”
Chen Xuan frowned. “What did your senior brother say to you just now?”
“My senior brother is also investigating this matter. He gave me a piece of evidence, which proved that the martial arts used to kill the girl I liked were not orthodox Dao Sect martial arts, but were deliberately done by someone.”
The Sloppy Daoist smiled. “Actually, it doesn’t matter anymore, because I already know the answer. However, I think this time we might be able to find the answer!”
“Sloppy Daoist, for this, you want to trick me out of a divine artifact. Hand it over!”
Chen Xuan said with a dark expression.
The Sloppy Daoist immediately said, “Dream on! What’s in my hand, I’ll never give it up!”
“It seems I have no choice but to take action!”
Chen Xuan suddenly reached out to grab, but the Sloppy Daoist seemed to have anticipated it and blocked him, deflecting Chen Xuan’s hand.
The two began to spar in the room, with loud bangs echoing.
But just then, a voice sounded from afar: “Something big has happened, something big has happened!”
