Chapter 154: A Smaller World, Unwarranted Malice
The incident happened suddenly. If it weren't for the dazzling thunder in the sky that changed the weather and brought about a heavy rain, Li Changxiao might not have noticed it.
After dealing with the burly man, the three men couldn't help but feel a little favorable towards the swordsman because of his easygoing and humble manner. Then, looking at his dress and appearance, he was handsome and elegant, carrying a sword and drinking wine, and he looked tired, yet also seemed to be near and far away.
The two sides struck up a conversation. Qingxiao acted openly and announced the location of his sect, telling the mysterious swordsman that he was from the Fulu Sect, a branch of the Dao Sect. He was very generous and didn't care whether the other party would mistakenly think he was bragging after hearing it. He said that if nothing unexpected happened, the other party should have heard of his deeds.
Li Changxiao nodded. Of course he had heard of it. The Talisman Sect, a branch of the Taoist Sect, was located in the Talisman Domain. For someone so young to have mastered the magic of thunder, it was naturally impossible for him to be unknown.
There are only a handful of people in the world who know the art of thunder.
Qingxiao was once known as the Little Thunder King and was extremely dazzling.
He once summoned a thousand-foot-high thunder from the sky and destroyed a lot of evil spirits. The Taoist thunder method is vast and orthodox, but different branches have different ways of using it. The use of thunder method by the Fulu Sect is roughly to condense thunder talismans with spiritual energy to achieve the means of control.
This branch of thunder magic is easier to master, but its power is half a step weaker than other thunder magic. However, this is only relative. No one would feel good if the extremely yang and strong thunder fell on them.
In the battle just now, Qingxiao actually took a shortcut. He did not use thunder magic directly, but instead used some means to draw out the thunder from heaven and earth, and then controlled and used it.
This would save more spiritual energy. Li Changxiao once used lightning to eliminate strange diseases, but the two were very different. Qingxiao directly attracted lightning, while Li Changxiao waited for lightning for several months.
While chatting, the four of them worked together to bury the body of the sturdy man with training.
The swordsman was leading the donkey, not walking very fast. The woman among the three looked at the little donkey curiously, marveling at it. She found that the little donkey was quite intelligent and wondered if it was a demon.
As she spoke, the woman went forward and stroked the little donkey. The little donkey showed a look of disgust and turned its head away. The woman then gave up awkwardly. Although she was humiliated, she was not angry. Instead, she became curious about the swordsman in white and chatted with him in a graceful manner, not sparing any praise.
As companions of the Little Thunder King Qingxiao, this man and woman are naturally not simple people. The woman is called Lu Chan. She has a fair complexion and an oval face. In terms of appearance alone, she is not stunning, but she is the type that becomes more charming the more you look at her.
The man's name was Hou Shao. He was tall and thin with prominent cheekbones and a pair of very dazzling eyes that gave people a feeling of brilliance. Both of them were once geniuses.
But it is a pity that although these three people are famous, their cultivation is not very high. They are all in the early stage of Nascent Soul. If you want to find out the reason, it is naturally because they were born too late.
Fortunately, they are still young. With their talents, it is impossible for them to be like Li Changxiao, who practiced for more than 700 years before he could form a fetus. They have formed a fetus when they are only one or two hundred years old, which means they formed a fetus earlier than Li Changxiao.
He is one of the rare young people in the cultivation world today.
That is why they have the youthful vigor that is unique to young people. They are extremely excited and full of hope about the convening of the Ten Thousand Immortals Summit.
When Li Changxiao saw them, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "How nice!" He hadn't seen such people for a long time. He couldn't help but walk a little further with them.
The four of them were not walking fast, and on the way they started talking about the strong man who was training horizontally. Li Changxiao was very interested in this... Well, strictly speaking, it wasn't an interest, he just felt it was strange.
Qingxiao told the whole story in detail. When the three of them were passing by this place, the sturdy man suddenly attacked them. The sturdy man was a powerful body cultivator and his cultivation was not low. It was estimated that he was around the middle Nascent Soul stage.
The first move was a killing move. Qing Xiao was unwilling to do it at first. He dodged several attacks in succession and only released the seals on his spirit, body, and soul. He did not fight back and mainly used persuasion.
But the opponent was too aggressive, so Qingxiao had no choice but to let the two men hold back the strong man with horizontal training, while he used thunder and lightning to kill him.
When the thunder method came into being, the strong man realized that he had hit a wall this time. When he wanted to escape again, he met Li Changxiao.
Qingxiao suspected that it might be an old enemy who came here specifically to seek revenge. This kind of thing happens from time to time, and he had already anticipated it in his mind, so he was not too surprised.
It’s just a pity that the spiritual energy is lost.
I feel so sad.
The same is true for Hou Shao and Lu Chan. The three of them became famous at a young age and were at the peak of their popularity. They had entered several secret realms, and the competition among cultivators was very fierce. It was normal for them to develop hatred during this period.
However, at this time, the donkey-riding swordsman put forward a new idea.
perhaps……
No hatred and no resentment?
Qing Xiao was stunned when he heard this, and laughed: "Hahaha, Brother Chang Xiao, you are really a joker. If there is no hatred or grudge, then why did he attack us? He didn't get any benefit, and he lost his life, didn't he?"
Hou Shao frowned.
He looked at Qing Xiao and said, "Brother Qing Xiao... maybe this is possible."
Hou Shao's face was somewhat gloomy. "The Ten Thousand Immortals Summit is coming soon... The world may not be without hope, but the road to reform cannot be achieved overnight. This summit is just the beginning, and there will be many more to come..."
"But some people, due to their life span, are destined to have no chance of reform. They see others trying to find a new path and feel abandoned by the world, so... they ask others to help them."
This statement came out.
Qingxiao and Lu Chan were stunned. After all, they were not three-year-old children, so they quickly accepted this assumption.
For a moment, I felt surrounded by malice.
Li Changxiao took a sip of wine and knew in his heart that what Hou Shao said was the truth.
The strong man's obsession turned into a dream, and what Li Changxiao captured was full of malice.
Unprovoked malice.
Malice between people does not require any soil to grow.
However, they still didn't dwell on this matter anymore.
After all, the world is so big and full of surprises that we cannot expect everyone to be a good person.
Where there is beauty, there is dirtiness; where there is greatness, there is filthiness.
The little donkey had a puzzled look on his face, and a rare look of contemplation appeared in his mean eyes. Are humans really that bad?
The swordsman touched the donkey's head and smiled without saying anything.
As the group walked, they no longer worried about the motives of the strong man, but began to explore his origins.
If this sturdy man with horizontal training is a casual cultivator or is completely unknown, there is naturally no way to find out.
However, the Heavenly Evil Fist and the Victory Step were extremely famous in the world of physical training, and their inheritance was strict and would never be easily passed on to outsiders.
The Tiansha punches are so powerful that they shock the world and their murderous intent soars into the sky. It is something that not ordinary people can practice. Then there is the Zhisheng Step, which is the one-step to victory. It is simple, clean and almost unstoppable.
Finally, the three of them followed the information bit by bit and locked their sights on the Zhisheng Sect. It was most likely one of the inner disciples of the Seventh Elder's lineage.
The world of cultivation is a bigger world, but also a smaller world.
After practicing for hundreds or thousands of years, as long as one has some family background and status, and inherits the Taoist tradition, it is inevitable that one will have to deal with all kinds of people. Naturally, the gossip of many sects, the love and hate in the Tao, will more or less fall into one's ears.
You may not recognize each other when you meet, but after fighting, you will have a general idea of the other person's background and origin.
