Longevity Martial Arts: I have a Mysterious Water Snake Avatar-Chapter 547 - 414 Stop Fighting Already!_2
It was then that Lin Bu Jing resolved to chase after Hong Yuan and surpass him in the Martial Arts. Afterward, he trained day and night, enduring countless hardships, and finally arrived at the Phoenix Creek Sect. Lin Bu Jing had thought he could close the gap between himself and Hong Yuan, but to his surprise, the gap only widened! His dream of surpassing Hong Yuan in the Martial Arts shattered, and Hong Yuan even became an insurmountable hurdle on his path!
Having a clear goal to pursue on the path of cultivation is good, but this Hong Yuan is simply too strong. How does he cultivate? Elder Dan’s white eyebrows furrowed deeply, his heart filled with confusion.
「Elsewhere.」
After venting his frustrations, Lin Bu Jing took deep breaths, his bloodshot eyes gradually regaining clarity.
HUFF. HUFF.
"Damn Hong Yuan, always ruining my plans."
"Just you wait! I’ll become a Saint before you do. From now on, I’m not done with you!!!"
Lin Bu Jing ground his teeth, gradually calming his turbulent emotions.
At that moment, his eyes flickered. With a sweep of his hands, the clutter inside the palace turned to ash, scattering with the wind. He then slapped his giant storage bag, and new items appeared, neatly arranged. The palace looked as if nothing had happened. Everything had returned to normal.
TAP. TAP.
TAP. TAP. TAP.
A short while later, Mystical Sound Pavilion’s Army Master Qiu Wuxi arrived, dressed in a sky-blue palace gown, a concerned expression on her beautiful face.
"Bu Jing, are you alright?" Qiu Wuxi looked at Lin Bu Jing with worry.
"The ambition of a great man should be like the waters of the Sky-connecting River, endless," Lin Bu Jing said, looking deeply at Qiu Wuxi. "I’m fine. Don’t worry."
"That’s good." Qiu Wuxi sighed in relief. She hesitated for a long moment before her red lips parted slightly and she said, "I think we should just obediently follow Alliance Hierarch Hong’s orders and overcome the immediate difficulties first. Actually, in my opinion, Alliance Hierarch Hong is still someone we can rely on."
CREAK—
Under his wide robe, Lin Bu Jing clenched his fists tightly.
He was extremely annoyed. Two days ago, Qiu Wuxi hadn’t said this at all. Was she looking down on him, Lin Bu Jing? Did she think he was unworthy of being compared to Hong Yuan?!!!
「...」
「...」
After the rain, the sky cleared.
A beautiful rainbow stretched across the clouds, shining beautifully on the palace. In the pond in front of the palace, raindrops falling from the trees dimpled the surface of the water, sending out ripples. Within the pond, fish darted through the aquatic plants, competing for the feed scattered by Hong Yuan.
Behind Hong Yuan, standing several meters away, Long Zhandu obediently bowed his head, waiting for Hong Yuan’s command. At that moment, Long Zhandu’s back was drenched in cold sweat. He felt an overwhelmingly strong pressure that made him tremble, terrified that Hong Yuan might become angry. Inexplicably, when compared to Hong Yuan, he, Long Zhandu, felt like a small white rabbit, while Hong Yuan was a formidable tiger. Even if the tiger had no intention of harming the rabbit, the rabbit still wouldn’t dare to face the tiger directly. This realization shocked Long Zhandu deeply.
Except for a few Supreme Talents like Lin Bu Jing, he, Long Zhandu, could be considered a pillar in the Sect Alliance’s fight against the Daxuan Dynasty. Yet, in front of Hong Yuan, he too had to be as docile as a white rabbit! It’s only been a few years since we last met, and Hong Yuan has become even more terrifying. If it weren’t for the Reverse Saint Array, he probably would have become a Saint by now. And not just any Saint, but a Supreme Talent Saint who could open a superior-grade blessed land—no, a special-grade blessed land...
Long Zhandu lowered his head further, a flicker of terror in his eyes.
In truth, I know Hong Yuan is ’breaking’ me, taming me. As a master of Slave Tao, how could I not understand these methods of controlling people? But I must let Hong Yuan break me. I want to pledge allegiance to him and become his foremost general. That way, I can use his power to seize the position of Phoenix Creek Army Master from Lin Bu Jing. I’ve also realized that Hong Yuan is solely devoted to the Martial Arts; he doesn’t crave power. Besides, this amassed influence is of little use to him.
An hour later, when Long Zhandu’s legs were trembling and his face had turned ashen, Hong Yuan finally spoke.
"Perform well. As long as you please me, I will make my move. You may leave."
"Yes, Brother Dao!"
Hong Yuan didn’t specify what would satisfy him, yet Long Zhandu left in high spirits. Even though he was stumbling and could barely stand steady, Long Zhandu was still extremely excited, wishing he could erupt into song.
At this time, Hong Yuan continued to toss the fish bait from his hand, watching as the many fish went crazy for what he held.
Phoenix Creek Tutelage... Sect Army Chief... Lin Bu Jing, Long Zhandu... They’re all just small fish in my pond.
A slight smile touched Hong Yuan’s lips. He tossed all the remaining bait in his hand into the water, gazing at the now murky pond.
「...」
「That night.」
Thick clouds obscured the moonlight, preventing it from shining down upon the world. However, Miao Yin City, under the Mythical Sound Pavilion, was brightly lit, like a City of Neverending Light. The disciples of the Mythical Sound Pavilion have always had a tradition of meeting friends through music and learning from each other’s talents.
On this day, the most splendid Jade Stone Palace within the Mythical Sound Pavilion, the residence of Mystical Sound Army Master Qiu Wuxi, welcomed two groups of visitors under peculiar circumstances. One group was led by Lin Bu Jing, the other by Long Zhandu.
