How come the celestial technique I stole is so powerful?!-Chapter 287: Chunshui’s Change, Li Palace’s Resentment?
Chapter 287: Chapter 287: Chunshui’s Change, Li Palace’s Resentment?
The giant True Essence Finger slowly dissipated, transforming into a mass of fog.
The mountain wind blew, dispersing the fog...
An old man appeared before the Chushui Main Hall.
The man had a horse-shaped face, long white hair, and a slender figure.
His eyes projected an aura of vastness.
"Master Ren!" The Great Elder, who had already charged to the front of the Chushui Main Hall, suddenly bowed.
"Greetings, Master Ren!" Countless disciples of Chunshui Palace simultaneously bowed.
Lin Xiaosu narrowed his eyes slightly, assessing this giant of the enlightenment realm.
He is Ren Cangmang, the Palace Director of Cangmang Palace!
Feng Ji’s long hair fluttered, her eyes firmly locked onto Ren Cangmang.
He indeed had come!
Perhaps he had arrived as soon as she and Lin Xiaosu boarded that small boat.
If they hadn’t invoked the presence of their Master to deter him, their small boat would never have reached Chunshui Lake...
The Empty Fort Strategy blocked Ren Cangmang’s halfway assault.
Now, he still appeared!
Ren Cangmang didn’t glance at the people around him, instead lifting his gaze to stare at Feng Ji: "I’ve long heard of a demon-faced witch in Jianghu acting wantonly, yet I didn’t expect she’d dare to directly attack Chunshui Palace and start a massacre, truly unprecedented in Jianghu history. Does Your Excellency think today’s Kun Cang lacks anyone who can eliminate demons and uphold righteousness?"
Eliminate demons and uphold righteousness!
Feng Ji’s face suddenly darkened...
This old fox audaciously brings up eliminating demons to stand on the moral high ground.
Things have gotten complicated.
Lin Xiaosu smiled faintly: "Eliminate demons and uphold righteousness! Haha... Is Master Ren turning a blind eye to facts, merely shouting slogans?"
With these words, every gaze in the place simultaneously turned to him.
In the midst of the confrontation, everyone’s attention was absorbed by Feng Ji, not paying much heed to him, but when Ren Cangmang wielded the supreme might of a giant of the enlightenment realm, suppressing everyone there until even Feng Ji was firmly held down, Lin Xiaosu stepped forward, standing as a rival against Ren Cangmang.
"Talk about facts?" Ren Cangmang uttered three words, his gaze moving towards Lin Xiaosu.
Those eyes were boundlessly vast; anyone under that vast gaze seemed to feel their own insignificance.
However, Lin Xiaosu persisted in standing upright: "The fact is: I won the bet with Chunshui Palace; I was meant to ascend the Chushui Main Hall openly, but the people of Chunshui Palace harbored ulterior motives, forcibly obstructed us, compelling us to breach with force."
"The facts I see are not those!" Ren Cangmang stated: "I see an outsider disturbing Kun Cang, engaging in actions with ulterior motives; I also see a demon-faced witch rampantly slaughtering my righteous fellows! However, Heavenly Dao shines brightly, evil cannot prevail over good! As a sect master of the righteous path, how can I let you demons taint the glory of my righteous heaven?"
His words were righteous and stern.
His words exuded light of righteousness from every punctuation mark.
With a whoosh, the Great Elder, Second Elder, and Fourth Elder simultaneously stepped forward, bowing together: "Please, Master Ren, eliminate demons and uphold righteousness!"
Hundreds of people shouted together: "Please, Master Ren, eliminate demons and uphold righteousness!"
For a moment, the scene was completely led astray.
Feng Ji’s face was furious and green.
These shameless people, actually gave themselves a taller and taller hat.
Ren Cangmang suddenly lifted his hand!
With a lift, it directly transformed into a True Essence Giant Palm!
A palm descended!
Like the heavens and earth overturning!
Crushing towards Feng Ji and also Lin Xiaosu.
This was a true strike from a giant of the enlightenment realm.
This was also Ren Cangmang’s response to the invitation of the elders of Chunshui Palace, with a justified strike.
Moreover, it was a strike to eliminate demons and uphold righteousness!
The True Essence Giant Palm manifested and swept across the sky, falling like a galaxy overturning.
Just as it was about to hit, suddenly a gust of wind arose!
A figure appeared in front of Feng Ji, an exceptionally graceful woman.
Her hair gently fluttered, as if all the spring hues converged in her eyes at the same time, countless flowers surrounded her!
Her delicate hand lightly lifted, numerous floral shadows in the air suddenly solidified, transforming into a True Essence Giant Palm, meeting Ren Cangmang’s palm.
Boom!
The entire world shook violently.
Countless buildings of the Chushui Palace collapsed.
At the base of the mountain, Chunshui Lake surged with ten-zhang waves.
Before the Chushui Main Hall, except for three to five people, everyone else retreated.
Throughout the entire world.
There seemed to remain only two human figures.
One was Ren Cangmang.
One was the newly appeared woman, seemingly a celestial beauty.
Ren Cangmang’s pupils contracted, locking firmly: "Hua Sect Master, are you here too?"
The Hua Sect Master, naturally is Hua Miaoyi of Shenghua Valley.
Hua Miaoyi smiled faintly: "We haven’t seen each other for three hundred years, and Master Ren has fallen to the state of bullying the younger generations, truly getting more and more worthless."
Ren Cangmang laughed coldly: "And what about you? To what end have you fallen? Protecting demons and heretics?"
"Demons and heretics? Where are the demons and heretics?" Hua Miaoyi replied: "What I see is merely a dispute caused by a wager agreed upon by Jianghu rules, sabotaged by someone, along with a Cangmang Palace Master who, without discerning right from wrong, leapt out inexplicably."
A voice suddenly rang out: "Lord Hua said Master Ren’s appearance is inexplicable. In fact, it isn’t inexplicable; his appearance here is what fits logic most and could be said to have completed the final piece of the puzzle in my heart."
All eyes gathered on the speaker.
This person was Lin Xiaosu.
The presence of two giants of the enlightenment realm.
No one could speak, but he was the one who suddenly spoke.
And under the boundless pressure of the giants of enlightenment, each word he spoke was smooth and harmonious, without fluctuation.
Hua Miaoyi’s eyes subtly shifted: "Young Master, what do you mean by this?"
Lin Xiaosu said: "The moment I arrived at the Spring Water Corridor today, I sensed that Chunshui Palace must have undergone a change, yet I was unsure of the source. Thus, entering the Chunshui Main Hall felt like a gamble..."
As he spoke, all those inside and outside the Chunshui Main Hall—numbering thousands—heard his words.
Their brows furrowed intensely.
Has Chunshui Palace changed?
Why am I unaware?
Is this boy speaking nonsense?
"Nonsense!" The Great Elder reprimanded angrily: "I am the Great Elder of Chunshui Palace, how do I not know of any change in Chunshui Palace?"
"Exactly!" The Second Elder said: "We, the highest elders of Chunshui Palace, are unaware, yet you, an outsider, claim to know. Isn’t that laughable?"
Hua Miaoyi frowned as well, reasoning along the same lines.
Lin Xiaosu chuckled lightly: "There is a kind of ignorance called selective ignorance! Those two traitorous dogs of Chunshui Palace better remain silent."
"Stop..." The Great Elder, incensed, erupted on the spot.
Suddenly, a petal floated gently, adhering to his mouth.
The Great Elder’s expression dramatically changed as he stared astonished at Hua Miaoyi, who held a flower missing a petal, picked from somewhere unknown.
She spoke calmly: "I have always been genteel and mild, but that does not mean I won’t take lives. If anyone dares to interrupt Young Master Lin elucidating for me, the next petal will bloom in the depth of their brow."
At the top level of Observing Heaven, a single petal subdued directly.
The room fell silent as the grave.
Lin Xiaosu smiled slightly and continued: "The gamble of entering Chunshui Main Hall should not have been a divisive line for the sect; if there is no deceit within your hearts, simply honor this wager and allow us to enter freely, what harm is there? Yet each elder would rather bear the burden of being known as oath-breakers than allow me entry, my suspicion thus grew immensely. But what exactly transpired? I could not discern until Master Ren appeared, connecting all doubts into one line; I finally understood what occurred within Chunshui Palace."
"What occurred?" Hua Miaoyi possibly only now truly cared.
And Feng Ji, her eyes also revealed intense queries.
She was the earliest to hear Lin Xiaosu mention the topic of "Chunshui has changed."
Yet, what change indeed, remained veiled in confusion for her, as the information was insufficient, and no one could determine the truth.
Lin Xiaosu spoke word by word: "I have reason to suspect, the change in Chunshui... is precisely the past change in Li Palace!"
"Change in Li Palace?" Hua Miaoyi’s expression changed dramatically: "Using Absolute Heaven Poison to imprison Chunshui Palace Master Li Chunshui, with internal traitors aiding external foes to annex Chunshui Palace?"
Lin Xiaosu slowly raised his head, staring at Ren Cangmang: "Master Ren, ’Change in Li Palace’ was your son-in-law’s shocking masterpiece a hundred years ago, using it today on Chunshui Palace, would that be replaying an old trick with ease? I make this assumption, isn’t it reasonable?"
His words caused a roar throughout the hall!
A deep unease suddenly planted within countless hearts.
Who in Kun Cang is unaware of the incident in Li Palace?
This extreme strategy was Dongfang Xiaoyao’s most proud work.
With this strategy, Li Palace was destroyed, and Xiaoyao Palace expanded.
And is Chunshui Palace today in the same predicament?
The Great Elder and others, allied with Cang Mang Palace, administered "Absolute Heaven Poison" on their Palace Master...
The more they thought, the more plausible it seemed.
Why were the Great Elder and the others resolute in barring Lin Xiaosu from entering the Chunshui Main Hall?
Why did Ren Cangmang suddenly appear? freeωebnovēl.c૦m
Giants of the Enlightenment Realm are not so easily dispatched.
If they idly wandered everywhere, who would guard their home and heritage?
This is a basic rule of Kun Cang, Enlightenment Realm seldom emerges.
These matters are unreasonable, but if Lin Xiaosu’s bold assumption is correct, all explained itself...
Absolute Heaven Poison itself cannot directly kill a cultivator; it only severs the connection between a cultivator and the Heavenly Dao, rendering giants of the Enlightenment Realm unable to wield their realm’s powers.
Yet, not wielding these powers does not leave anyone able to kill them easily.
This necessitates the presence of a true giant of the Enlightenment Realm on-site.
Serving the special mission of ending his life.
This is why Ren Cangmang appeared in Chunshui Palace.
If this is the case...
Today marks the survival or demise of Chunshui Palace!
Daring to challenge Chunshui Palace’s rules, charging headlong into it, Lin Xiaosu and the Demon faced Witch have suddenly become true guardians of Chunshui Palace.
Countless thoughts whirled in the minds of numerous disciples of Chunshui Palace.
The deeper they pondered, the more terrifying it grew.
Ren Cangmang’s face darkened like water: "Judging others’ minds with a villain’s heart, boy, your malice is indescribable."
Hua Miaoyi icily retorted: "Who is the villain, who is the gentleman—let that be decided after meeting Li Chunshui!"
She took a step forward!
Facing Ren Cangmang!
Ren Cangmang’s graying hair gently fluttered: "Hua Miaoyi, do you truly wish to initiate a battle at the Enlightenment Realm?"
This sentence, a mere twelve words combined.
Yet, it weighed as heavily as Mount Tai.
A battle at the Enlightenment Realm...
An unbearable weight for Kun Cang.
Because the ground beneath them could not bear the wild force of this destructive battle.
Those within the Enlightenment Realm cannot endure this either.
For when two of the Enlightenment Realm clash face-to-face, if they enter a life-and-death battle, their outcome will inevitably leave both crippled.
For giants of the Enlightenment Realm, like emperors within Kun Cang, who wishes to be toppled from their divine pedestal?
Who wishes to see their painstakingly built legacy over hundreds of years reduced to mere morsels?
Therefore, just one soul-searching inquiry suffices.
Enough to cool the fervor of all within the Enlightenment Realm.
Yet, Hua Miaoyi’s expression remained unchanged, barely wavering, as she lightly uttered two words: "Feng Ji!"
