Chapter 64: The Gift of a Sword

  Chu Liuqin's words became much sharper, and among the other seven true disciples, a young woman let out a soft laugh, which was particularly jarring.

  Bai Qi raised an eyebrow in confusion, turned around to look at Zi Hong and asked: "Sister, does Chu Shixiong's words mean that everyone thinks we will definitely surpass them in completing the task?"

  The young woman heard Bai Qi's arrogant words and shouted: "Qing Mingzi, can you say such things without knowing shame!"

  Bai Qi looked at the young woman, seeing that she had a pair of peach blossom eyes, her face was like powdered makeup, her figure was tall and slender, wearing a silver Taoist robe, with a long sword hanging from her waist. In terms of appearance, she was even more beautiful than Lou Fang He, but her spirit seemed to be floating, not like a cultivator at all.

  "What should I call you, Master?" asked Bai Qi with a respectful bow.

  "White Immortal's disciple, Wu Feng has arrived." The woman saw White rise and was still polite, but her expression remained cold as ice.

  The rest of the true disciples have already known Wu Feng's temper in these few days, thinking that Qing Mingzi is going to be unlucky, and Wu Feng's sharp tongue will not spare anyone.

  Chu Liu Qin couldn't help but take a step back, this Wu Feng was favored by Bai Xianzi and had some brains. Yesterday, he even rushed to himself, if it wasn't for his master's reminder not to argue with Bai Xianzi's disciple, he would have made things difficult for this female cultivator.

  If I speak at this time, I'm afraid it won't have a good outcome either. It will get me involved and scolded by Wu Feng together with them.

  "Wu Shijie, just now Chu Shixiong used his 'sword of the eyes' to test me, and I passed. Are you using your 'sword of the mouth' to test me now?"

  Wu Feng came in a rage, and Bai Qi said that she was talking nonsense. The others didn't know how to respond, but they all knew that the true nature of Zi Mei was not as reckless as Wu Feng's, so they all shut their mouths and didn't dare laugh.

  Wu Fenglai pressed his hand on the hilt of his sword and said coldly, "What did you say?"

  "I say, disciples within the sect are not allowed to harm each other. Whether it's a lowly servant or a mouthy one, they're all still within the tolerated range. But if you get angry and draw your sword, that's violating the sect rules, betraying the master and ancestors."

  Bai Qi finished speaking and looked at Chu Liu Qin: "Brother Chu, your strength is the strongest here, am I right?"

  Chu Liuqin didn't want to answer, but couldn't not answer either. Whatever he said would offend Wu Fenglai. Only then did he look at Bai Qi seriously. Ziyu True Man was the strongest among the Golden Elixir cultivators of the 72 peaks of Wuhu Lake. His chosen disciple shouldn't be ordinary. Bai Qi's temperament really was like that of his rumored master, Ziyu Shibo - sharp and piercing.

  "What Qing Mingzi said is right, same door hurt each other, deceive the master and destroy the ancestor." Lou Hongyu came out at this time to resolve Chu Liuqin's embarrassment.

  Wu Fenglai dare not offend this outer sect elder again, even if she is a true disciple.

  "Master Bo!" Wu Feng's voice was still loud, but his hand had left the hilt of his sword.

  "You can go back inside and practice, but in my place, whoever dares to make a move, I will destroy their cultivation!" Lou Hongyu had an upright and unyielding expression, while Bai Qi secretly smiled to himself.

  However, Lou Hongyu's words were impartial, and Wu Feng could only swallow her anger. Bai Qi had also scolded her before, but she couldn't argue back.

  Zi Hong also secretly smiled, his own junior brother, indeed had a similar temperament to their master. Appearing to be easy-going, but actually with a sharp edge hidden inside. If he were to be bullied by Wu Fengchu, he wouldn't stand for it.

  "Divide into five groups, do not merge together, each choose an inner disciple, I will send you to the lower reaches of the Chu River, under the twelve peaks. The rest of the matters, solve them yourself. I will secretly watch over, if there are evil sects or external forces trying to destroy, I will take action personally."

  "Yes!"

  Ten true disciples responded loudly, Lou Hongyu was an outer gate elder, but his kung fu was among the top of the Refining Qi stage. Without someone like him presiding over the outer gate, Yunmeng Sect would be looked down upon and ridiculed, and attempted to be nibbled away.

  Outer door disciples have a low status, but this outer door elder has enormous actual power.

  Wu Fenglai could only glare at Bai Qi fiercely, and also stared at Zi Hong. Zi Hong smiled calmly, her strength was much higher than Bai Qi's, so she didn't care about Wu Fenglai. Wu Fenglai should be some kind of Dao body, but it hasn't fully emerged yet, and will only burst forth in power when entering the Golden Dan realm. Even so, Zi Hong still didn't consider her a threat.

  This kind of genius may not be many in Yunmeng Sect, but in a sect like Luofu, they are everywhere.

  Eight true disciples each went to lead the inner door disciples, Bai Qi and Zi Hong followed behind, seeing that those inner door disciples had some awkward expressions, but still no one came forward, willing to follow them to do the task of the sect.

  At this time, Wu Feng came over with a somewhat complacent expression. But Bai Qi didn't even bother to say a word, Lou Hongyu followed behind him, and she couldn't provoke him either.

  The inner disciples have been assigned, next is to go and assign the outer disciples. At this time, Bai Qi saw a familiar face - Zhu Que.

  Zhu Di saw Bai Qi and was taken aback for a moment, with a chill running through his heart.

  He had worked hard to enter Yunmeng Sect and became an outer disciple. After completing this task, he could become an inner disciple. But why was Bai Qi there!

  He had seen Lou Hongyu before and knew his status in Yunmeng Sect, so he was quite surprised. Bai Qi stood beside Lou Hongyu very naturally, with a stunning female cultivator by his side, her attitude somewhat cold.

  That outfit...

  Obviously a true disciple!

  Zhu Di's mouth was bitter, and his heart was filled with hatred and regret. Bai Qi had become a true disciple of the sect, so even if he revealed Bai Qi's secrets now, it wouldn't put him in danger. Instead, it would only lead to Yun Meng Sect elevating Bai Qi's status and focusing on cultivating him further.

  If you want to harm Bai Qi, the only way is to sell Bai Qi's secrets to other sects.

  But if that's the case, he would be betraying Yun Meng Sect. If it were to be known, unless he could join an even larger sect and become a true disciple, he would not be spared from death. Otherwise, no matter where he escaped to, Yun Meng Sect would send out their Immortals and it would be of no use.

  Zhu's jealousy surged upwards, and endless flames of envy were born in his heart. Bai Qi had never done anything to harm him, yet he treated Bai Qi as an enemy.

  He was born in a humble background, with no status to speak of within his sect. He finally managed to learn Bai Qi's secret, and even killed his senior brother for it. However, his own sect was soon destroyed, and he had to flee all the way to the south.

  Heaven is pitiful, met Bai Qi, thinking he can walk on the path of immortality from now on.

  At first, it was out of caution that they didn't make a move in Taohua Town. Now that they want to take action, it's already too late.

  Bai Qi saw Zhuo Jue and also saw the hatred in his eyes, startling him. However, he didn't show it and instead beckoned to Zhuo Jue.

  Zhu Que could only walk over, and Bai Qi smiled: "Zhu Que, long time no see."

  Inside and outside are different, Zhu Di had no choice but to bow his head and pay respects, saying: "Congratulations, senior brother, you have already become a true disciple."

  "It's all thanks to you for showing me the way initially, this time, follow me on this mission."

  Zhu Di lowered his head, and a vicious glint flashed in his eyes, almost solidifying into substance. This Bai Qi was looking for death, he would find an opportunity to secretly plot against him, snatch the Inverse Scale Spear and leave, never to return to Jiangnan again.

  As long as they can escape to the northernmost Wu Ding River, even if Yun Meng Sect has immortals, they won't offend Kunlun for a true disciple.

  In one breath, Zhu Que had already wiped away the resentment in his eyes and raised his head with a dull expression.

  "Thanks for the promotion, brother Zhu. I dare not disobey."

  "That's good, I finally have a reliable helper." Bai Qi smiled brightly, but Zi Hong ignored Zhu Que. In her eyes, this outer disciple was outwardly loyal but inwardly treacherous, and his expressions were all fake, she really didn't know how her junior brother could interact with such a person.

  Zhu Que knew that the true disciples were not easy to get along with, so he just gave Zi Hong a courtesy and stood in front of Bai Qi, expressionless.

  Bai Qi suddenly said: "Zhu Que, where is your jade sword?"

  Zhu Ze sidled up and said: "I'll send it to our fellow disciple." At this moment, a hint of sadness and anger flashed across his face.

  "I'm afraid you've been blackmailed, no matter. I have a sword here, it's yours." Bai Qi said, taking out a long sword from his ring, which was the Qingfeng Sword, a lower-grade magic weapon. Bai Qi practiced the Sword Maru technique, and controlling this treasure that couldn't be put down was somewhat troublesome, so he still used the Moon Wheel Sword Maru, but refused to refine this lower-grade magic weapon.

  Zhu Que's sorrow and anger immediately turned into gratitude, he bowed his head again, took the Qingfeng sword, hung it at his waist, and said: "Zhu Que will certainly not disappoint Shixiong."

  At this time, hundreds of outer disciples had been assigned, and seeing that Bai Qi was left with only one short and dark Daoist, Wu Feng also didn't get angry. This time, the sect's task would definitely make Bai Qi lose face.

  And then back to the door, you must challenge yourself, disciples in the door are not allowed to kill each other, beating him up is always no problem. Even if Zǐméi Zhēnrén protects his juniors again, he can only bear it.

  "Let's go!" Lou Hongyu looked at the distribution being completed, directly released a Taoist instrument, and collected all the people into it, rising into the air.

  The space inside the artifact is vast, and can hold at least tens of thousands of people. The internal space of the artifact is shrouded in clouds and mist, making it impossible to see outside. However, Bai Qi and Zi Hong are exceptions, as he knows that this is a convenience provided by Lou Hongyu.

  The flying sword flew, its speed even faster than the escape light, but if it carried hundreds of people, Lou Hongyu would have to consume the yuanqi in the jade stone to supply the flying sword. If he urged himself, the speed would be much slower.

  This artifact is shaped like a large ship, divided into three layers of space. Bai Qi and others are in the lowest layer, and Lou Hongyu disappeared after entering the artifact.

  This large ship is neither gold nor wood, its entire body presents a dark green color, and no runes can be seen on it. All the formations are inside the hull of the ship.

  Bai Qi and Zi Hong found a corner to sit down, not interacting with anyone. He could see the internal formation of the large ship running, observing for a while, gaining some insights.

  The Yangtze River stretches for ten thousand miles, this big boat is a low-grade Taoist instrument, wanting to fly downstream also takes half a day's time.

  Zi Bai started to stare blankly, Zhu Que found it extremely dull and didn't know how to lure Bai into conversation. Although Bai Qi seemed completely unguarded towards him, he still needed to let his guard down a bit more before making a move to kill him.

  The boat was full of Qi cultivators, and the outer door disciples were also rushing to breathe in and out. The Dao instrument was filled with Yuanqi, which was much better than the environment outside.

  Zhu Que reluctantly drew out the Qingfeng sword that Bai Qi had given him and began to refine it. When Bai Qi saw Zhu Que refining the Qingfeng sword, the smile on his face grew even fainter. This Qingfeng sword was a low-grade magic weapon that he didn't use, but he had also tried to control it before, leaving behind a hint of divine thought as an imprint. Zhu Que carefully checked if there were any traps in this magic weapon, and Bai Qi's thoughts became increasingly certain.

  I don't know if this follower Zhubi is dead, will it affect the evaluation of our sect's mission?
