Chapter 142 Reason (2)

Long Congyun's face turned red at that moment.

His body began to tremble, his upper and lower lips trembling.

He was very angry, unprecedentedly angry.

Even when Ning Zhumang demoted him to the Great Reverie Peak in front of everyone, he had never been so angry.

His gaze was like a sharp sword as he stared straight at the figure that was slowly walking into the palace hall. He had to use all of his strength to suppress his impulse to kill that figure on the spot.

He was Long Congyun.

The elder who had once commanded the Chongju Peak was now the head of the Linglong Pavilion that Sikong Bai had personally appointed.

The trash that Ning Zhumang had promoted had actually beaten his disciple to such a state, and then threw him in front of him like a demonstration.

This was simply provocation.

Sikong Bai didn't say anything. He just narrowed his eyes and looked at the youth who had entered. The light in his eyes flickered as if he was very interested in this. Meanwhile, Ye Hongjian, who was behind him, lowered her head at that time, as if she did not dare to look at that person.

The Jishi Prefecture fell into silence once again.

Almost everyone's gaze fell on the youth at that time.

He wore some linen clothes, and his right arm was tied with white cloth. He looked calm, and there was even a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Pa!

The furious Long Congyun couldn't suppress the turbulence in his heart at that time. He slapped the table in front of him and suddenly stood up.

"Crazy bold man, you actually injured my disciple and trespassed into my JiShi Manor. Don't you think that my Exquisite Pavilion is empty?" Long Congyun scolded angrily.

"Break through? Didn't Elder Sikong call me here?" The youth looked at Long Congyun doubtfully and asked in confusion.

"Then you can injure the disciples of our sect? Was this reckless act caused by someone else to secretly retaliate, or did you have a reason to bully my dragon and wither from the Cloud Sect?" Long Congyun was able to obtain the approval of most of the elders and deacons in Chongju Peak not only because of the sword in his hand, but also because of his meticulous thoughts. After a short period of anger, he could smell a trace of opportunity in Xu Han's abrupt actions.

He knew very well that even though Sikong Bai had demoted Ning Zhumang from the position of sect leader, Ning Zhumang's faction still had Zhong Zhanghen backing him up. Now that the other party had given way temporarily, it did not mean that he could rest easy. He meant that Sikong Bai on the platform would listen to this. He wanted to divert the energy of Ning Zhumang's faction to the east, in order to attack Ning Zhumang's faction as much as possible.

"Why did Elder Long say that? We are both people from the Exquisite Pavilion. How could I humiliate your disciples? Elder Long is very strange. I am kind enough to help you discipline your disciple. If you don't thank me, why are you still talking so badly?" Xu Han, however, did not take the move. Instead, he looked at Long Congyun with a wronged expression and asked in confusion.

Fang Ziyu, who was very close to Song Yueming and Xu Han, laughed out loud at that moment. Only then did he realize that the situation seemed to be wrong and quickly covered his mouth.

"Discipline?" However, when Long Congyun heard this, his anger rose again, "When will it be your turn to discipline my Long Congyun disciples?"

Xu Han seemed to have predicted that Long Congyun would say this. At that time, his expression became serious as he spoke with his hands behind his back.

"Then I'll have to ask Elder Long for help."

"I was discussing tea with my good friend in the courtyard. We were the main body and he was the guest. But this Lang Chaosha came to our courtyard and shouted loudly. It was impolite for him to treat the guest like this."

"He is Senior Brother, and my good friend Song Yueming is Junior Brother. Song Yueming didn't ask a few questions, but he punched and kicked each other. For Senior Brother to treat his young like this, this trip was unkind."

"In terms of status, I am a guest. He is a disciple. I am his senior. In terms of seniority, I am his martial uncle's husband. He is my wife's junior, and I am his senior. However, his vulgar words are unpleasant to the ears. It is unfilial for the young to treat the elders like this."

Xu Han spat out these words like a series of cannonballs. At that time, the originally silent hall became even quieter, almost to the point where a needle could be heard. Everyone didn't expect that Xu Han's lips would suddenly pierce through. They also turned their gazes to the extremely ugly face of the newly promoted sect leader. They secretly thought that today's grand show was far from as simple as it seemed.

After Xu Han finished speaking, he didn't have the slightest intention of stopping. He turned to look at Long Congyun and asked in a cold voice.

"Elder Long, how did you teach such a rude, unfilial, and shameless disciple?"

"You!!!" At that time, Long Congyun became angry from embarrassment. The aura around him suddenly rose, and a boundless pressure directly attacked Xu Han. "Do you really think that Long Congyun can't kill you?"

The might of a Great Evolution Realm cultivator was terrifying. Under such a turbulent wave, Xu Han's body was like a flat boat that could topple into the vast ocean at any time.

"Elder Long wants to kill me?" However, Xu Han gritted his teeth and stood upright under the pressure. He looked at Long Congyun and said word by word.

"Then you …"

"Try."

Long Congyun had never been provoked like this before. His body trembled, and a hand suddenly stretched out. At that moment, something formed from true essence and sword intent charged straight towards Xu Han's face.

Long Congyun was a true Great Evolution Realm cultivator. Even if he made a casual move, it would be enough to end Xu Han's life, not to mention his furious attack.

Everyone cried out in shock at that moment. Obviously, they did not expect Long Congyun to actually want to kill Xu Han in front of everyone.

Xu Han didn't know if he didn't want to resist, or if he didn't have time to resist. Facing Long Congyun's killing move, he was stunned on the spot and didn't move at all.

"Enough!"

Seeing the sword intent attack, everyone could almost see that Xu Han had died on the spot when the sword intent pierced through his eyebrows. Sikong Bai, who was sitting on the high platform, finally stood up with a slap on the table.

With a soft shout, the sword intent was immediately shattered by Sikong Bai. At that time, Long Congyun's face turned pale, knowing that his rude actions had finally attracted the dissatisfaction of Taishang Elder. He didn't dare to be disobedient in the slightest. He immediately put away his might and quietly sat back in his seat. However, the gaze he looked at Xu Han was filled with malicious hatred.

"You are Xu Han?" Sikong Bai's voice rang out immediately after. He looked at Xu Han with an inexplicable light flashing in his deep eyes.

At that time, Xu Han withdrew his gaze from Long Congyun and turned to look at the Supreme Elder.

This should be considered the first time they had truly met. Xu Han sized it up from head to toe.

Sikong Bai was a very capable old man. Although his hair was white, no matter if it was his shrewd and sinister expression or the faint outline of his muscles beneath his tight black robe, it was impossible to associate it with words like "old dragon bell" in the slightest. Perhaps because he had ascended to the Earthly Immortal Realm, although Sikong Bai's aura was somewhat cold, his appearance was somewhat childish.

"This is me." Xu Han withdrew his gaze after a few breaths. He cupped his hands and said to the old man on the stage, his attitude respectful but not humble.

"Mm, not bad." Xu Han looked at Sikong Bai, and Sikong Bai also looked at Xu Han. After hearing Xu Han's words, he nodded in satisfaction. There was no lack of admiration in his shrewd eyes.

"Elder, you're ridiculously praising me." Xu Han was also unable to figure out what kind of medicine this Sikong Bai gourd was buying, so he had no choice but to agree with it.

"I've heard from Hong Jian and Zhu Mang about you. You are indeed a talented person. As a guest, I have wronged you. I want to accept you as the deacon of Xuanhe Peak. What is your intention?" Sikong Bai continued, and the smile in his eyes became even more intense at that time.

Hearing this, Xu Han was stunned. When Lang Chaosha found him, he thought to himself.

What did Sikong Bai summon him for? Was it because the demon arm was discovered or the Heaven Punishing Sword was exposed? However, these thoughts were immediately denied by Xu Han. If that was the case, it would not be Lang Chaosha who came looking for him, but rather Long Congyun, or even Sikong Bai herself.

Xu Han, on the other hand, could not understand Sikong Bai's intentions. If he chose to escape at that time, it would be counterproductive. There was a suspicion that he was guilty of covering his ears and stealing bells, causing unnecessary trouble. Moreover, with Ning Zhumang and Zhong Changhen around, he could see through Sikong Bai's anomaly. Naturally, the two of them could also see that Xu Han and Ning Zhumang were grasshoppers tied to the same line. With them watching, Sikong Bai probably wouldn't do anything to him. That was why Xu Han dared to come here in such a big way.

However, Sikong Bai 's attitude was something Xu Han hadn't expected. He couldn't help but frown at that moment.

"Thank you, Elder." Although he was puzzled, on the surface, Xu Han did not dare to disobey Sikong Bai's intentions.

"Yes." Sikong Bai, who had received Xu Han's affirmative reply, nodded in satisfaction.

"Since you are already the deacon of my Exquisite Pavilion, you will have to worry more about the matters in the Natural Pavilion in the future."

"I understand." Xu Han replied.

At that time, he could clearly feel that the gaze of the dragon from the clouds was filled with dense mockery. At that time, Ye Hongjian, who was behind Sikong Bai, lowered her head even deeper.

"Right now, there is one thing I need you to do for our sect." Sikong Bai's voice sounded again. His hand suddenly stretched out and threw something over.

Xu Han subconsciously caught it, only to see that it was actually a letter. Before Xu Han could look at the contents of the letter, he saw the big word Zhu Xian written on the inscription.

At that time, Sikong Bai's deep voice sounded again.

"A few days ago, Zhu Xian sent me a letter."

"He wants to seek a marriage for his son…"

"I feel that this matter can stabilize the relationship between Linglong Pavilion and Longevity Division. After thinking about it, I agree."

"And the only suitable candidate is this old man, my only disciple."

"Ye Hongjian."
