Chapter 264: The Matter is Settled?
Before anyone could process the sudden change, Shui Qingqing waved her hand and Bing Mei flew from the stands.
The young girl looked a little flustered but she soon controlled herself.
"AMei, what do you think? Are you willing to be the young palace master? Are you willing to form a Taoist contract with Xuan Dong?"
"This..." Bing Lan was surprised and she turned to look at Bing Mei.
At the same time, Bing Mei looked at her and there was ill-concealed provocation in her eyes.
’What happened? Why did her personality change?’ Yu Nianzhen couldn’t help but wonder when he saw the provocation.
When he met Bing Mei, she was a naïve and easy-going young girl.
He didn’t expect her to show such gloating when her master fell into trouble.
’You can know a person’s face but not their heart.’ He concluded and sighed.
From the current situation, it was clear that Bing Mei was acting before.
However, she was just a passerby in his life and he didn’t pay too much attention. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have missed the signs.
After looking at Bing Lan, Bing Mei turned to hui Qingqing.
"Bing Mei is willing." She said.
"Good." Shui Qingqing exclaimed and then turned to one of the monks from the Thunder God Temple.
"What does brother Wong think?"
"Benefactor Shui is wise." The monk said and didn’t mean to disagree.
He already knew the details of the Ice Palace sect and they had long come to an agreement.
In some way, it was better for Xuan Dong to marry Bing Mei than to form a taoist couple with Bing Lan.
"In that case, I will trust your Thunder God temple to prepare the young man before the ceremony."
"That is only right."
After saying that, the monk glared at Yu Nianzhen but didn’t make a move.
Like Shui Qingqing, he could feel the threat coming from the sword sect.
However, just because he couldn’t act now didn’t mean he wouldn’t act later.
No matter what, Yu Nianzhen was not a disciple of the sword sect.
It was impossible for the sect elders to protect him all the time.
For now, what he needed to do was develop the Thunder God Temple’s agenda.
After that, he will find an opportunity to deal with Yu Nianzhen in the next few years.
If he couldn’t find such an opportunity, there would be a chance in the Nine Treasures secret realm.
Soon after, monk Wong left with others from the Thunder God temple.
"Young man, your courage is commendable." Shui Qingqing finally turned to Yu Nianzhen.
Her injuries were yet to heal and dark anger was hidden in her stomach.
However, she had a smile on her face and didn’t show her displeasure.
"I am my master’s disciple after all." Yu Nianzhen said and Shui Qingqing sneered in disdain.
In her heart, Yang Xu was a thing of the past.
With his damaged origin, he had no hope of breaking through to the nascent soul realm.
Even if he broke through, it would be impossible for him to regain his previous strength.
Although she didn’t know how he broke through to the core formation
realm, Shui Qingqing was sure that the core formation realm was Yang Xu’s limit.
After all, she was a young and naïve cultivator.
She had lived thousands of years and she knew what it took to repair a damaged origin.
Fortunately, or unfortunately, the tree of life had long been extinct.
Without the tree of life, Yang Xu was doomed to never regain the peak.
"Young man, you are talented but no one can fight against the general trend." She warned but Yu Nianzhen was not intimidated.
It was difficult to fight against the general trend but only those who dared could achieve the highest peak.
If Yu Nianzhen compromised and allowed himself to be swept by the trend, he would forever look down on himself.
After that, achieving the highest peak of martial dao would only be an unachievable dream.
Seeing that Yu Nianzhen didn’t react as she wanted, Shui Qingqing sighed and her eyes became a little ruthless.
"Young man, the days are long and there will be a time in the future."
After saying that, Shui Qingqing did not linger.
Without a glance at Bing Lan, she summoned the disciples of the Ice Palace sect and left the martial platform.
When he saw this, Yu Nianzhen heaved a sigh of relief and then turned towards the sitting area of the sword sect.
Although he didn’t show any reaction, Yu Nianzhen had a very sensitive divine sense and he didn’t fail to notice the intervention of the elders of the sword sect.
If they didn’t intervene, Yu Nianzhen planned to use the golden talisman to escape from the martial Ice Palace sect.
However, their interference restrained the Ice Palace sect and the Thunder God temple which resulted in the current situation.
Although his and Bing Lan’s situation was dangerous, at least the woman was free.
This outcome was better than expected.
Without reluctance, Yu Nianzhen bowed to the elders of the sword sect and the group couldn’t help but be surprised.
"This son is more promising than I thought." One of the elders said.
"I didn’t expect him to notice our little actions."
"He also knows to show gratitude when it is appropriate. I am more and more satisfied with him."
"However, his situation is not good." An elder said and sighed.
They managed to restrain the Ice Palace sect and the Thunder God temple but there were many nascent soul realm cultivators in the audience.
Some of them were from the righteous path and others were from the evil way.
As it was, the sword sect could only help to this point and couldn’t do more.
"It’s a pity. If this son was willing to cut the master-disciple relationship with elder Yang, he would be a fine addition to our sword sect."
Originally, the elders planned to recruit Yu Nianzhen to the sword sect.
However, the young man’s attitude showed he was unwilling to abandon elder Yang.
This complicated things not only because of Yang Xu’s identity but because of Bing Lan.
From the moment she was expelled from the Ice Palace sect, Bing Lan had become a piece of fat.
She was destined to bring disaster to those around her and the sword sect elders were not prepared to wage such a war.
"It really is a pity." Another elder sighed and watched as several cultivators flew towards the stage.
However, Yu Nianzhen was prepared this time around.
Before the people arrived on the platform, he grabbed Bing Lan’s wrist and both disappeared.
"Teleportation talisman." One of the cultivators snorted and his eyes grew cold.
The person was a nascent soul realm cultivator from the Ghost valley.
Originally, they planned to let the young master of their Ghost Valley form a Taoist contract with Bing Lan.
However, it was never going to be that easy.
Bing Lan was a rare yin physique.
This kind of excellent furnace could never belong to one person.
When their young master brought his taoist companion to the ghost valley, she would have belonged to everyone.
Although the young master failed to win the martial contest, the Ghost Valley didn’t give up.
They planned to secretly grab her and bring her back to the Ghost Valley without anyone’s notice.
However, things had taken a turn.
Bing Lan was expelled from the Ice Palace sect and the Ghost Valley didn’t have so many scruples.
With the situation of the Sea Cloud sect, the Ghost Valley wasn’t worried about retaliation.
Unfortunately, other nascent soul realm cultivators thought the same thing.
"Old ghost, get out of the way if you don’t know how to track a teleportation talisman."
The elder from the Ghost Valley sneered and formed a few patterns with his fingers.
However, the result was unexpected.
He couldn’t grasp a single strand of residual aura and didn’t know in which direction the two escaped.
"How is this possible?" He muttered to himself and shook his head.
He didn’t think he made a mistake but he repeated the seal and waited for a different outcome.
Unfortunately, he was destined to be disappointed.
Yu Nianzhen and Jiang Yue’s golden teleportation talisman was not an ordinary item.
It could ignore restrictions and teleport them from any place in the Cangxing world.
Even a nascent soul realm cultivator couldn’t detect anything after the teleportation.
"Old Ghost, quickly get out of the way." A man roared and pushed the old ghost to the side.
The man was a casual cultivator.
However, he was a nascent soul realm cultivator and was among the best talisman makers in the Cangxing world.
Although the old ghost was dissatisfied at being pushed, he didn’t say a word.
Since he couldn’t track the teleportation, he would let a master do it and then settle the debt later.
"Fu master, what can you tell?" Someone asked but the talisman master couldn’t give a satisfactory answer.
This was because he encountered the same wall as the old ghost.
