Chapter 43 Want to kick the nest? Get it over with!
"Old man, let me go!!!"
Li Muxuan struggled fiercely, trying to break free from Wang Yaozu's hold.
"Kid, that's enough!"
Wang Yaozu shouted again, his tone becoming more forceful.
If this happened anywhere else, Li Muxuan would be more willful and he would let this brat have his way. After all, he was able to join the Quanxing Sect, so he couldn't possibly be an honest and dutiful person at heart.
But this place is absolutely not an option!
This is Sanyi Town, the territory of Sanyi Gate.
He had promised Zuo Ruotong, the leader of the Sanyi Sect, that he would never do anything reckless for the rest of his life and only wished to pass on his mantle.
That's why Zuo Ruotong allowed him, a member of the Quanxing sect, to stay in Sanyi Town to pass on his mantle.
If he bullies the younger generation today and attacks this junior for no reason, how should he deal with it if Zuo Ruotong investigates afterward?
With his old bones, he didn't have many years left to live. It might not be a bad thing for him to die at the hands of "Da Ying Immortal".
But what about Li Muxuan?
I've finally found a disciple who can carry on my legacy, and I absolutely cannot let him perish here along with me!
Thinking of this, Wang Yaozu also had a sudden thought.
The next second, Li Muxuan, who had been struggling, suddenly rose into the air, as if he had lost gravity, and began to spin upside down in the air.
"Hey hey hey... Old man, what are you doing?! Put me down right now!!!"
Li Muxuan wailed and screamed in agony.
He tried to use the same method of reversing the eight directions to break free from Wang Yaozu's control, but no matter how hard he tried, his reversal of the eight directions was like a stone sinking into the sea, unable to stir up even the slightest wave.
"Hmph, brat, with your meager skills, you think you can just kick the nest? Get lost!"
Wang Yaozu snorted coldly, then, while controlling Li Muxuan, he smiled apologetically at Zhuge Yan:
"I'm sorry, young friend, this kid has such a bad temper. He'll even hit this old man if he's slightly unhappy."
"I'm here, old man. Let me apologize to you on his behalf."
Zhuge Yan glanced at Li Muxuan, who was suspended in the air. After sensing the strength of the force field around the other party, he couldn't help but feel secretly shocked.
No wonder he's a veteran of the Quanxing sect for so many years.
Wang Yaozu's move of reversing the eight directions was completely different from what Li Muxuan had just used!
If Wang Yaozu had made the move himself, his own talisman would have been no match for the opponent's force field!
This old man, on the surface, seems to be disciplining his apprentice, but behind the scenes, he's actually showing off to me...
In fact, Zhuge Yan knew very well that the reason why Wang Yaozu was so polite to him today was not because the two of them were in the wrong, nor because of his identity as a successor of the Wuhou School.
What he was really worried about was the person on the mountain.
As the saying goes, one doesn't hit a smiling face. Since the other party has taken the initiative to apologize and offered a way out, Zhuge Yan naturally wouldn't be the kind of stubborn fool.
After all, Wang Yaozu is a renowned elder of the Quanxing Sect. If they were to truly break off relations and fight to the death, the outcome would be uncertain...
He didn't speak, but silently dispelled the Qimen formation beneath his feet, and then turned and left without a word.
After watching Zhuge Yan's figure gradually disappear into the distance, Wang Yaozu slowly put Li Muxuan, who had given up struggling, down.
"Old man, why did you stop me just now?"
You clearly saw that guy's sullen face just now. Just because he's from a prestigious sect, he doesn't respect anyone.
Why didn't you let me teach that bastard a lesson?!
"Teach him a lesson? You think you can?"
Wang Yaozu chuckled, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes.
"That kid comes from the Wuhou School, not to mention that you, brat, have never dealt with sorcerers before."
If you don't understand this type of person, you might suffer a lot if you really get into a fight with them. Just look at what that kid just showed.
He not only sensed the attack method of reversing directions the moment you made your move, but also used the correct spell to deal with it in a very short time.
His sharp thinking and skillful methods far surpass yours!
"Is that guy really as good as you say?"
Li Muxuan asked in return with a suspicious look.
"Believe it or not, it's up to you. When you have the chance to run into him outside, you'll know whether what I said is true or not."
But as I said, that was outside, absolutely not here!
"Tch, isn't it just because you're afraid of Chief Zuo?"
Li Muxuan pursed his lips.
"Yes, I am indeed afraid of Zuo Ruotong, there's nothing I'm ashamed to admit. But at the same time, I also respect him."
Upon hearing this, Li Muxuan immediately gave Wang Yaozu a complicated look.
"Alright, you brat, hurry up and come back with me, or the water in the pot will boil dry."
"Ugh... Hey old man, what exactly did you Quanxing do? Why does that guy act like he's seen an enemy the moment he sees you?"
"It's not surprising. To be honest, I was really surprised that the kid could turn around and leave so quickly."
If this had happened to any other upright disciple of the same age, would this matter have ended so easily today?
"You say I'm no match for him, but what about you?"
"Me? Heh... Even a rabbit will bite when cornered. If you really push me too far, I can twist that kid's head off and let you kick it like a ball!"
But if that happens, the two of us will really be on the run forever!
-----------------
The next morning.
After randomly choosing a family, paying them some money for the night, Zhuge Yan set off on the mountain road to Sanyi Gate early the next morning.
The mountain path winds its way through the morning mist, the stone steps appearing and disappearing in the mist, carrying the unique dampness of the mountains.
Zhuge Yan climbed steadily and slowly, pondering how to ask Zuo Ruotong for advice later.
As you walk halfway up the mountain, a wide-open platform comes into view, with several simple houses built against the mountainside, which is the lower courtyard of Sanyi Gate.
Before he even got close, he could hear the clear shouts of several children and their slightly tense breathing.
In the open space in front of the lower courtyard, several children, around seven or eight years old, were lined up, undergoing basic trials.
Barefoot, one must tread across a row of uneven wooden stakes, while simultaneously maintaining specific hand gestures and a delicate balance.
One careless step and you'll fall off the wooden stake and land on the soft sand. You won't get hurt, but you'll still look quite disheveled.
The person in charge of supervising the trial was a young disciple in his early twenties, dressed in a white Taoist robe. He had a dignified appearance and a serious expression with a hint of concern that was not easily detected.
His eyes were sharp, watching each child's every move intently, occasionally offering guidance:
"Keep your mind calm! Keep your breath calm! Don't just focus on your feet, sense the flow of vital energy within your body!"
