High Martial World: I Gain Passive Skills Daily-Chapter 235 - 143: Disciple Cang Xing Pays Respects to Martial Saint! (Three-in-One)
"When I accompanied you to the Martial Saint Pavilion, didn’t I see that person’s appearance once? It couldn’t be false!"
Cang Xing took a deep breath upon hearing this.
"Accompanied by the Divine Farmer Bureau Si Zheng?"
The disciple nodded: "Yes, that puppet probably just died not long ago. Its neck was still crooked. Given the current situation in Zangfeng State, who else could survive under such circumstances?"
"It can only be that Divine Farmer Bureau Si Zheng."
Cang Xing realized it made sense and quickly said: "Lead the way!"
The two raced all the way and soon arrived at the mountain gate.
At a glance, Cang Xing recognized the person at the forefront—it was indeed Mo Xu, who had once been chosen by Wen Hongsheng to become the Divine Descent Container.
For a moment, he seemed to see the shadow of the Martial Saint.
But in the next instant, he frowned because, although the young man’s demeanor seemed upright and confident... it appeared somewhat tense? 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢
The corpse of "Light Rain" standing beside him indeed had a broken neck, which somewhat diminished his doubts.
In the absence of Spiritual Qi, such Divine Power... could only be the pinnacle of Mechanical Art.
Yet, the appearance of another person beside him made his pupils constrict in shock.
"Chen Kuang?!"
Cang Xing felt almost as if he had seen a ghost.
In fact, it was about the same.
The wanted notice for Chen Kuang inside the Martial Saint Pavilion had already been canceled, personally issued and confirmed dead by the Martial Saint.
But now, Chen Kuang, who was supposed to be dead, suddenly came back to life?!
Chen Kuang, however, showed no surprise, instead frowning and said:
"Cang Xing, why not pay your respects when seeing the Martial Saint?"
"This..." Cang Xing hesitated immediately, his clenched fists also wavering, what’s going on?
Chen Kuang sighed: "Ignorant, seeing me here, not dead yet, can you still not understand the Martial Saint’s intention?"
He shook his head, lamenting their misjudgment: "I am a person of the Martial Saint Pavilion!"
Chen Kuang’s attitude was so straightforward, Cang Xing was stunned, his brain quickly racing.
The Martial Saint didn’t kill Chen Kuang... surely it was done intentionally.
This means the previous manhunt was all a performance!
There’s only one purpose capable of making the Martial Saint do that, which is... the Elixir of Longevity!
Exactly, that’s it, Cang Xing’s thoughts instantly opened up.
If he guessed correctly, the Martial Saint wanted to quietly acquire the Elixir of Longevity ahead of Ji Chengtian, and thus pursued diligently.
And Chen Kuang was actually a pawn of the Martial Saint!
He was responsible for bringing the Elixir of Longevity out of the Imperial Palace and cooperates with the Martial Saint to perform a drama.
This can fully explain Chen Kuang’s remarkable performance along the way.
More importantly, the Martial Saint descended once more, and right at the moment when the Yang Kingdom Saint made a move!
Cang Xing felt his heart pounding, as if witnessing a grand chess game unfolding before his eyes.
He followed the Martial Saint, precisely because of that unmatched dominance.
And now, is he finally going to become a pawn at the forefront of the Martial Saint’s ambitions?
Cang Xing feared missing his chance by hesitating too long, immediately raised his robe hem, gritted his teeth and kneeled:
"Disciple Cang Xing, pays respect to the Martial Saint! Disciple came late, please forgive my offense!"
Chen Kuang pondered internally... easier to fool than expected, truly a fanatical devotee of the Martial Saint.
Mo Xu was completely dumbfounded.
In front of him, Cang Xing, Sect Leader of the Mei Sect, he had heard of.
This was indeed a Grandmaster!
A Grandmaster right in front of him, genuinely kneeled down towards him!
Just because of Chen Kuang’s few words, he was truly mistaken for the Martial Saint!
Mo Xu found nothing could be more absurd than this, and his perception of the Martial Saint Pavilion and these so-called experts entirely collapsed...
Turns out these people are just a bunch of fools!
Mo Xu’s heart was instantly filled with a strange emotion, not excitement, but an eerie calm.
He looked down at Cang Xing kneeling before him, took a deep breath, and said:
"Stand up, the ignorant is not at fault."
And unnoticed to him, within his shattered meridians, those flickering lights began to gradually reconnect.
