Chapter Eighty-One: Meng Yao's Heart Matter

  The demon knelt at Guo Ming's feet, the arrogant expression from earlier was nowhere to be seen, only constant trembling remained. Its hands grasped Guo Ming's feet, its large eyes brimming with tears as it begged in a low voice: "Master, I'll never dare again."

  "Hmph, still trying to deceive me? Guo Ming let out a cold snort, kicked the demon spirit flying with one foot, and formed a seal with both hands, saying, 'Still not transforming back for me?'"

  That demon spirit took one glance at the Buddhist seal in Guo Ming's hand, and a kind of innate fear quickly spread throughout his entire body. He immediately collapsed to the ground, a purple light flashing on his body as he transformed into a two-fanged ghost doll. Fearfully looking at Guo Ming, it whispered, "Don't, don't."

  Dealing with this unruly demon, being soft-hearted will not make them surrender. Even if there is the life and death puppet technique, it is still absolutely necessary to punish him. Not moving at all, that law seal was imprinted on his body, quickly entering his body.

  Guo Ming floated out of the Seven Stars Demon Extermination Realm, and faintly heard earth-shaking wails by his ears.

  After recovering for a moment, Guo Ming struck out with his Ling Jue, and instantly the vast amount of spiritual energy in the entire world was absorbed into his body.

  "Meng Yao, what's wrong with you?" Dongfang He and Sheng said.

  "Nothing, Grandfather, please continue telling me about the Phoenix Dance of the Ninth Heaven?" Water Dream Jade's face showed a hint of fatigue, clearly unwilling to bring it up.

  Dongfang He nodded for her to sit down, shook his head and said, "Meng Yao, your heart is already in disarray. It's not suitable for you to cultivate now. If Grandfather isn't mistaken, it's because of Guo Ming's matter, right?"

  "Grandfather, how did you know?" Yu Meng Yao asked in surprise.

  "You don't know, the whole Linze County is on the verge of a storm, many family forces are coming here, and it's uncertain what will happen. I naturally worry about your safety, and an elder from our family has been following you. Dongfang He said this without any concealment, speaking in a low voice."

  "The wind, come out!" Dongfang He lightly said."

  A ripple appeared in the void, and then a man in his fifties or sixties walked out of it. He bowed and said, "I've seen the master."

  Being able to hide one's body in space is a mark of a six-star strongman, Shui Mengyao didn't dare to be slow and hastily said: "Mengyao has seen the elder."

  Feng calmly accepted the courtesy, which he was fully entitled to as a matter of course, and said with a smile: "No need for such politeness, miss."

  "Feng Xiong, with your insight, what level has Guo Ming reached? And who is Zhu Rui?" Dongfang He's face was solemn.

  "Zhu Rui, we've already gone to investigate, but still no results. However, I observed his strength, roughly at the 4-star boundary, which is top-notch in the martial arts world. As for Guo Ming... At this point, the elder took a deep breath and said in a low voice, 'His power doesn't leak out at all, it's already reached the level of returning to simplicity and truthfulness.' I can't guess?"

  His words shocked the two of them, and they couldn't guess what was going on. How could this be? After all, Feng Lao is a six-star realm master, what kind of realm is this? This is already the realm of a sect master! In the martial world, cultivation is divided into one to nine stars, eight-star and nine-star masters have not appeared in years, true invincible masters are seven-star masters. The Dongfang family has several seven-star masters, but they are all old monsters who have cultivated for hundreds of years. Therefore, most of the strong people walking around are six-star, and now Feng Lao says he can't see Guo Ming's realm, what does this mean?

  The Eastern Crane's heart took a long time to calm down, and the scene of that young man from back then reappeared in his mind. He remembered that at the time, the other party's strength was only four-star, but just one year later, he had reached this level. He didn't necessarily think that the other party had reached six-star; in his opinion, that was impossible. Even if he were extremely talented, it would be five-star at most. The reason why Master Feng couldn't see through his cultivation was very likely because there was something strange about him.

  If he and Meng Yao really make a good match, the glory of the Dongfang family is just around the corner. The Guo family is indeed not to be underestimated, Mother Yu Xia knows a terrifyingly powerful person, and her son is also so abnormal, it's really unfair. Alas, fortunately, heaven is not stingy with me either, Shui Meng Yao's talent is not weak either.

  "Can I reach Guo Ming's realm?" Shui Mengyao thought for a moment and asked.

  "Heh heh, the Xuan Yin body is a rare physique in the world, as long as you cultivate with peace of mind, even if you reach eight stars, it's still unknown? The obstruction between human and immortal can block 99% of the talented cultivators with high innate abilities, but it can't stop you. The Xuan Yin energy on your body can help you break through this barrier, Guo Ming is no match for you," Dongfang He said in a soft voice, yet with absolute certainty."

  "Really? Water Dream Jade said in disbelief."

  "What he said is true," a soft voice sounded, and Shui Zhongming, who was surrounded by an aura of bookishness, pushed open the door, looking at Shui Mengyao with gentle eyes.

  "Dad, you're out of closed meditation," Water Dream Jade hastily went forward and hugged her father.

  Stroking her hair, Shui Ming said with a smile, "Hey, get up, you're so big already, why are you still crying?"

  Shui Mengyao wrinkled her nose and said with a smile, "I'm originally just a little kid." She then left Shui Ming's arms.

  "Hehe, Meng Yao, you must cultivate well, your future achievements will be very high." Water Mingjian's daughter felt relieved and proud of her accomplishments.

  "Zhong Ming, congratulations! When Dongfang He saw the divine light shining on his body, he immediately understood that his opponent's skills had greatly improved. He said with a smile."

  "Alas, even if I were more powerful, what could I do? Shui Ming suddenly said in a low voice, that enchanting woman, even if I had a hundred years, I wouldn't have the confidence to catch up with her."

  Dongfang He's face changed, and a hint of anger appeared on his face. He said loudly: "Zhongming, what do you mean?"

  "What's the meaning of this? The aura of decadence on Ming's body is even stronger in the water, who can imagine that the man who was so spirited and proud just a moment ago would become like this in an instant? Is this still the same man as before?"

  "Dad, who are you talking about? Is it that woman from a year ago? Shui Mengyao seemed to have thought of something and spoke up."

  That clock, the spirit of heaven and earth, autumn water as god, jade as bone, the unparalleled woman was also imprinted in her heart - Light Language, a seemingly gentle woman but extremely overbearing, forcibly opening the yin-yang two realms, finally battling with a strong man from the yin realm, disappearing without a trace.

  Father actually likes that girl? Shui Mengyao exclaimed in shock.

  Dongfang He shook his head and sighed, "Zhong Ming, that woman is no longer a mortal being. You and she can't have any outcome. In my estimation, she's likely to be a top-notch expert of the Nine Stars, on the same level as the former Martial Saint. It's best you don't harbor any illusions."

  "I am the successor of the great Confucian, only such a woman can match my status. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, I will not give up." Water Ming looked at Dongfang He and said with an extremely firm tone.

  What's with you? Alas, as long as you have this ability, I don't care anymore. Dongfang He didn't argue with him and directly sat back down, picked up the teacup on the table, and started drinking.
