"Ah Qing, why didn't you let Zhi Rui come with us just now?"
What if those monks make things difficult for him?
Just as Lin Zhirui compromised and told the Suspended Mountain about Lu Qing and the others' origins.
On the other side, the old doctor also asked Lu Qing with some confusion.
“Master, we have offended the Hanging Mountain this time. It is not appropriate for Lord Zhi Rui to get too close to us anymore.”
It's better for him to stay there than to come with us.
He had just secretly sent me a message, telling us to leave first and not to worry about him, as he had his own way of escaping.
However, Master, you don't need to worry. I have also sent a telepathic message to Lord Zhirui.
If those bald monks on the suspended mountain press him about our origins, he need not hide anything; he can simply tell them the truth.
That way, those bald monks shouldn't make things difficult for him.
This time, the feud between Lu Qing and his group and Suspended Mountain has become quite serious.
Whether the other party wanted to forcibly convert the master, or he himself killed a disciple of Xuankong Mountain.
The feud between them was destined to be irreconcilable.
Therefore, it would be inappropriate for Lin Zhirui to get too close to them in front of so many people.
The old doctor listened and agreed that it made sense, so he said no more.
"By the way, Ah Qing, how did you know I had an accident on the Holy Mountain?" the old doctor asked.
"It was the master of Lord Zhi Rui, the master of Tianji Tower, who told me."
"When you, Master, were surrounded by the bald monks of Suspended Mountain using an array, it was only then that I learned of this matter, thanks to His Excellency Zhi Rui's communication jade tablet informing the Master of Tianji Tower."
"I see. In that case, we owe Zhi Rui a huge favor this time."
"Master, how did you get into conflict with the bald monks of Suspended Mountain?"
"I also find this strange. As soon as those monks saw me, they said they wanted to discuss the Dao with me."
I had just come out of the Sacred Pool and had many insights. Seeing their kind attitude and profound cultivation, I was deeply moved by their casual words.
Thinking that since the other party was a prestigious sect from one of the four great secret realms with profound knowledge and experience, he believed that discussing the Dao with them would be very rewarding.
Without thinking much about it, I agreed.
Unexpectedly, during the discussion, they suddenly used a strange treasure to calm my mind.
"If Aqing hadn't arrived in time, I probably wouldn't have been able to hold on for much longer."
Recalling the feeling of being stunned by the golden bowl and constantly being bombarded by Buddhist chants, the old doctor still felt lingering fear.
He had a premonition that if Lu Qing hadn't broken the deadlock in time...
He might really have his mind altered and become a different person.
"The formation used by those bald monks from the suspended mountain is called the Vajra Subduing Demon Formation."
In the era of cultivation tens of thousands of years ago, it was a formation used by Buddhists to convert evil spirits and heretics, and it was not to be used lightly.
I never imagined they would dare to use it on you, Master.
It seems that this so-called Buddhist holy site, the Hanging Mountain, is indeed a place of mystery.
After tens of thousands of years of inheritance and changes, it has changed its nature and is no longer the righteous sect it once was.
Among the inheritances of the Li Huo Sect that Lu Qing obtained, there were some records of Buddhism.
The Vajra Subduing Demon Formation can change a person's mind.
Therefore, in the era of cultivation tens of thousands of years ago, Buddhist and Taoist sects that possessed the inheritance of this formation would generally establish a prohibition.
Unless one is a heinous member of the demonic path, this formation should not be used lightly.
Now, this Suspended Mountain actually dares to publicly use such a formation, trying to convert the master.
It's unclear whether they were certain that the transmission of immortal cultivation in the outside world had been severed, and that no one could recognize this kind of formation.
Or perhaps the ban on the Suspended Mountain has been lifted, and there are other plans.
However, regardless of what the purpose of Suspended Mountain was, this time, their enmity was finally settled.
Lu Qing recalled the information he had gleaned from the monks.
Knowing that those bald monks were petty and wouldn't let the matter rest, they were certain that this matter would not be left unresolved.
They will need to be careful next.
Lu Qing touched the Qiankun Qi Bag at his waist.
After being nourished with spiritual energy for some time, the Qiankun Qi Bag has recovered much of its power.
He had just used his mental energy to activate a wisp of the ancient artifact, which was enough to intimidate everyone.
Unfortunately, there were too many people present, including many experts from major sects in Zhongzhou and people from the other three secret realms.
In the shadows, there might even be those three mysterious and unpredictable Holy Lords who have never shown themselves.
Otherwise, Lu Qing really wanted to use this trump card to see if he could wipe out all the bald monks of Suspended Mountain.
The master and his disciple walked down the mountain.
This time, neither of them took the Heavenly Ladder route. Instead, they took another path and quietly descended the mountain.
"Dr. Chen, Brother Lu Qing, you're back?"
As soon as they returned to Tianji Tower, they saw Ma Gu and the others rushing up to greet them with great joy.
They were really worried ever since Lu Qing left.
After all, Lu Qing was about to venture into the Holy Mountain, and the people who were supposedly making things difficult for the old doctor were from the four great secret regions. How could they not be worried?
Now that both of them have returned safely, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"Yes, I said I would bring Master back safely," Lu Qing said with a smile.
"This time, it was my oversight that made you all worry," the old doctor said apologetically.
"How can you blame yourself, doctor? We all heard from the host that those monks deliberately made things difficult for you..."
Magu and the others immediately comforted the old doctor.
Lu Qing then approached the Lord of Tianji Tower, who had been watching them with a smile, and respectfully bowed: "Thank you, Lord, for helping to deter the villains."
"No need to be so polite. Since you are guests at my Tianji Tower, I will naturally ensure your safety," said the Tianji Tower Master, waving his hand.
However, the shock he felt was unknown to others.
Just now, he had received a message from Zhi Rui, learning about what Lu Qing had done on the Holy Mountain not long ago.
Looking at Lu Qing's gentle face, the Master of Tianji Tower found it hard to believe.
This young man before us is actually able to intimidate all the heroes on the sacred mountain all by himself.
Not only did he rescue his master from the encirclement of the Suspended Mountain, but he also managed to kill one of the enemy's disciples and escape unscathed.
If it weren't Zhi Rui who sent the message, the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion Master would never have believed that Lu Qing possessed such power.
Unfortunately, even with the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion Master's profound knowledge of divination, he still couldn't see through Lu Qing's true nature.
In his eyes, Lu Qing was like a fog; no matter how he tried to figure it out, he couldn't deduce even the slightest bit of information about him.
"Senior, there is something I need to explain to you. During this trip to the Holy Mountain, I had a significant conflict with the people from the Suspended Mountain."
"We're afraid we can't stay here any longer, lest we cause trouble for your sect," Lu Qing said.
"I just learned that Rui has already informed me of this matter using a communication jade tablet, but you don't need to worry."
Although the Suspended Mountain Sect is powerful, it cannot arbitrarily interfere in the affairs of other sects.
"Please feel free to stay. Although my Tianji Tower is small, it hasn't fallen so low as to turn away guests over such a trivial matter."
Unexpectedly, the Master of Tianji Tower didn't seem to care much about the matter and instead comforted Lu Qing and the others.
This surprised Lu Qing greatly. It seemed that the master of Tianji Tower was not too afraid of Suspended Mountain.
Upon hearing news of Lin Zhirui, Lu Qing immediately asked, "Senior, is Lord Zhirui alright? Did those bald monks from Suspended Mountain give him any trouble?"
“Zhi Rui is alright, he should be back soon,” said the Master of Tianji Pavilion. “However, Young Master Lu, there is something I need to tell you.”
Shortly after you became so powerful, I sensed a very evil aura emanating from outside.
