Zou Zi was completely stunned, his previously good-natured smiling face suddenly stiffening.
Then he scratched his head, thinking, "What's wrong with me being unlucky?"
Even if this guy in front of him was an elder, he couldn't be so condescending.
He hadn't said anything since standing here.
He thought for a moment and was about to speak up in defense:
"That... Old Master Yang..."
"Shut up!"
But before he could finish, Old Master Yang directly snapped at him.
Zou Zi closed his mouth dejectedly.
He felt wronged.
Why couldn't he even speak?
They were all Fourteenth Realm cultivators.
If they fought, it was still unknown who would win.
But despite his grievances, Zou Zi didn't continue to speak.
After all, Old Master Yang's seniority was truly astonishing.
He was a true senior elder.
Ordinary cultivators were all junior disciples in front of him.
It wasn't embarrassing to be scolded by this old monster.
Didn't even Qi Jing Chun, a Saint of the Heavenly Realm, respectfully address Old Master Yang as such?
He just didn't understand why this old monster was willing to tolerate his apprentice's wife constantly cursing at him.
Could it be a scandalous affair?
Zou Zi thought secretly.
He couldn't help but picture Old Master Yang's apprentice's wife, Li Er's wife, yelling and cursing at the door of the pharmacy.
Tsk tsk, just thinking about it made Zou Zi's lips twitch upwards.
It was really interesting!
"What are you thinking about?"
His smiling lips didn't escape Old Master Yang's eyes, and he frowned, asking Zou Zi.
"Nothing, hehe, just thought of something happy!"
Zou Zi gave a foolish, awkward smile.
"You idiot."
Old Master Yang snorted.
While he couldn't see through Zou Zi's mind, as a supreme powerhouse and a Divine Dao Heaven Monarch, he could naturally sense that Zou Zi's smile had something to do with him.
But after scolding Zou Zi, he didn't bother to pay him any more attention.
Ever since he took Li Er as his disciple and met his fiery wife, he had gotten used to being scolded.
His mental state had improved a lot.
Although he would still get angry sometimes, his temper was much better than before.
"Cough cough..."
Zou Zi coughed and scratched his head.
He wasn't going to talk back.
Yao Lao, standing beside him, saw the situation and also smirked.
This entertainment was good.
He loved watching.
"Qi Jing Chun, aren't you going to come out and explain yourself?"
After taking another puff of his dry pipe, Old Master Yang turned his gaze to the void and said in a deep voice.
"There's nothing to explain."
Qi Jing Chun didn't appear, but his voice reached the ears of Old Master Yang and the other two.
"Oh, so you're admitting it? You don't even bother to explain yourself to us? You have quite a temper, Qi Jing Chun."
"I dare not."
"You dare not, my foot! Fine, you won't explain, and this old man won't bother asking. But Qi Jing Chun, you better think carefully about the consequences of your reckless actions!"
After saying that, Old Master Yang didn't bother to say anything else and disappeared in a flash.
As he disappeared, Yao Lao had already run off.
Only Zou Zi was left, looking at the big pit in front of him with a foolish smile.?
"Who could it be?"
Although Zou Zi had a foolish smile on his face, his thoughts were churning in his mind.
"Is it really Qi Jing Chun?"
"If it's him, why would he do this?"
"What is he scheming?"
"This is completely different from Qi Jing Chun's previous actions."
"Did Qi Jing Chun come up with some new plan?"
"No matter what, the Dragon Slaying Platform disappearing means trouble is coming. The eyes of certain people will inevitably focus here!"
"..."
Zou Zi thought about this and then disappeared as well.
Regardless of Qi Jing Chun's plans, as long as no one became a Fifteenth Realm Sword Immortal, that's all that mattered.
He didn't want to get involved in anything else.
Because only a Fifteenth Realm Sword Immortal was what he cared about most.
Once a Fifteenth Realm Sword Immortal appeared in the world, the balance of the world would be broken.
He wondered if the incredible sword aura that had appeared repeatedly before was from the same person.
If so...
Would that person try to take the Old Sword Blade?
So, instead of focusing on Qi Jing Chun, he should focus on the Old Sword Blade.
The only problem was that the Old Sword Blade had a bad temper, and he didn't dare to stare at it all the time.
If he stared too long, he might get chopped up.
He could only sneak a glance from time to time.
————————
After Zou Zi left.
A young Daoist named Lu Chen, wearing a Daoist robe and a lotus crown, suddenly appeared again.
He appeared directly at the edge of the big pit, squatted down, and carefully looked at the bottomless pit, marveling at it.
"Such a grand gesture! Truly grand!"
"I wonder which master did this. It's so frightening!"
"Isn't this trying to scare little Daoist me?"
"Little Daoist me wouldn't dare do something like this!"
"..."
Lu Chen looked scared.
But his words were half-true.
Only he knew the truth.
Anyone who believed him was a fool.
However, those who didn't know his true identity would easily be fooled by his act.
After all, who would think that this playful, seemingly-charlatan young Daoist would be one of the three leaders of the Daoist sect in the Qingming world?
Besides Daoist Elder One and Daoist Elder Two, he was the strongest and had the highest status.
While marvelling, Lu Chen also began to divine.
But the more he divined, the weirder his expression became.
During the divining process, he felt that the Heavenly Secrets were chaotic.
And incredibly dangerous.
It was as if the world was filled with endless killing intent, enveloping him.
He felt like if he continued to divine, he would be killed.
This was the first time he had experienced something like this.
"So, it seems like Qi Jing Chun wasn't the one who did this."
"Could it be the one who drew the sword earlier."
"Also, the fact that I'm surrounded by endless killing intent just for divining him means I can rule out one possibility..."
"That's he's not some kind of reincarnation. He's at the peak of his power and a hidden old monster. Otherwise, he wouldn't give me such a dangerous feeling!"
"Or perhaps, it's like with Elder One, he created some kind of young avatar?"
Thinking about this, Lu Chen's expression became even weirder.
This was all too much.
He had to say, those old guys were playing a little too fancy.
Who would have thought that a seemingly ordinary child would be the avatar of a supreme expert, possessing the power to perform miracles at any time?
If they suddenly appeared at certain times and showed off their strength, it would definitely be very frightening.
As he thought this, he stopped divining.
Since they didn't want him to pry into their identities, he wouldn't force it.
It was already dangerous just to divine a little.
Who knows, if he continued, he might get a sudden sword strike.
