Chapter 1025 - 254: Peng Yingyu: Oh? This Old Dog Still Dares Not to Give Me Face?

If this gets back to the Holy Sect, his lifelong reputation will be utterly ruined.

This made him hate Chen Jiusi to the core, wishing he could skin him alive, pull out his tendons, and dismember him into eight pieces.

As he thought, he was overwhelmed by an itch that made his whole body uncomfortable.

He scratched forcefully, his face turning red from it, but for some reason, the more he scratched, the itchier it got, and the itchier it got, the more he scratched.

Moreover, alongside this itching, he could always visualize in his mind the figure he hated to the bones—yes, it was Chen Jiusi.

However, he couldn’t act out now because sitting at the main seat was Han Miaozhen, who was currently regulating her breath. Today in the forest, Han Miaozhen had a fight with that unexpected guy. The fight turned the world upside down, and both sides were heavily injured before stopping.

Han Miaozhen let out a long breath.

Then immediately opened her eyes.

"Lord Dharma King, are you alright?"

Elder Quan looked at Han Miaozhen and asked, as Han Miaozhen, who opened her eyes, said, "I’m fine; it’s just an old wound moving, but that person’s ’Nine-story Tower’ is indeed formidable, worthy of being called a divine technique as paralleled with ’Qiankun Great Method.’

Elder Quan, hearing this, looked toward Han Miaozhen and said, "Lord Dharma King, who was that person?"

Han Miaozhen replied, "I don’t know. The Nine-story Tower is the once-treasured skill of the Qionghua Sect, but the Qionghua Sect was wiped out in the national extermination war a century ago. Perhaps there are survivors, but in nearly a hundred years, no one has ventured in Jianghu!"

Elder Quan said, "The world is getting more and more chaotic. I didn’t expect that even a major sect like the Qionghua Sect would have people walking in Jianghu now. But why did he interfere in today’s affairs?"

Han Miaozhen said, "Probably because of seeing injustice. Qionghua Sect’s disciples have always selected righteous and heroic people, and thus the sect’s rule is to draw the sword to help when seeing injustice. If they do not help, they aren’t fit to be Qionghua disciples."

Elder Quan said, "Is there such an unusual sect in the world?"

Han Miaozhen said, "Yes, so the Qionghua Sect was also called the first evil sect of Martial Arts back then."

Elder Quan was a bit surprised and said, "Since they do chivalrous deeds, why are they called an evil sect?"

Han Miaozhen chuckled and said, "Elder Quan, you are older than me. How can you ask such a naive question? Who says that reputable sects must do good deeds, and who says that evil ways must be bad people?"

"If Qionghua Sect draws swords to help when seeing injustice, and it’s the righteous people bullying, then wouldn’t Qionghua Sect be considered an evil way?"

Elder Quan was instantly speechless. Yes, righteousness and evil are spoken by people and are based on one’s stance.

Help those with a voice, and you are righteous. Go against those in power, and aren’t you evil?

The Wudang Sect was once listed as evil by the court. If it weren’t for Zhang Sanfeng’s strength, Wudang would have been flattened long ago.

Remember, Zhang Lao Tao’s Sixty Years of Demon Cleansing didn’t only kill those from evil ways, but he also killed many from the righteous sects who donned the guise of reputable sects and oppressed the innocent. The cleansing was of the entire world.

And so it was with the Qionghua Sect. This is also why after the Qionghua Sect’s decline, the whole world added insult to injury. Doing good deeds doesn’t necessarily result in good outcomes.

Oww...

Elder Quan was talking with Han Miaozhen when suddenly an eagle’s cry sounded from outside.

Hearing this, Elder Quan and Han Miaozhen looked at each other and said, "It’s the Communication Hall’s Message Eagle!"

Saying so, the two immediately pushed open the door and went out. Outside were the disciples in charge of vigilance, who saw the two and instantly greeted, "Greetings to the Lord Dharma King and Elder."

Han Miaozhen said, "No need for formalities."

Then, looking up, she saw a Hai Dongqing circling in the pitch-black night sky above.

This was a Message Eagle specially bred by the Zoroastrian Sect for long-distance messages, managed by Elder Chicken of the Twelve Elders.

This long-distance messaging is entirely different from short-distance messaging.

For short-distance messaging, such as within a county or even an internal message within a State Mansion, a messenger pigeon would suffice. But for further distances, messenger pigeons won’t work.

First, the distance is too far, and messenger pigeons fly slowly.

Second, with such distances, who knows what predators are in the sky, like an eagle that could snatch the messenger pigeon away in one swoop, rendering the information useless?

Thus, for long-distance messaging, large predators must be used.

For example, this Hai Dongqing was trained by the Zoroastrian Sect’s Communication Hall specifically for cross-State Mansion communication.

Wheee~

Han Miaozhen, at this moment, whistled towards the sky, and upon hearing the sound, the Hai Dongqing immediately identified its target and flew down.

Han Miaozhen raised her arm for the Hai Dongqing to land on it.

At this moment, she saw a bamboo tube tied to the Hai Dongqing’s leg and opened it to find a piece of paper inside.

Han Miaozhen’s expression instantly became grave upon opening it.

Seeing Han Miaozhen like this, Elder Quan asked, "What’s wrong, Lord Dharma King?"

Han Miaozhen said, "Pack up, we’re heading to White Deer Village in Hebei overnight!"

Elder Quan was startled and said, "Lord Dharma King, what happened?"

Han Miaozhen said, "Basiba arrived in Hebei today, and the battle between the Sect Hierarch and Basiba could start at any moment!"

Hearing this, Elder Quan’s expression changed as well. He knew the situation was extremely urgent; otherwise, they wouldn’t have sent a Message Eagle overnight.

However, he thought for a moment and said, "Lord Dharma King, can I procrastinate for two days before leaving?"

Han Miaozhen frowned and looked at him, "What do you want to do?"

Elder Quan pondered for a moment and said, "Lord Dharma King, I’ve never been so disgraced in my life before. I need to personally kill that kid to relieve the hatred in my heart!"

Han Miaozhen turned back to look at Elder Quan and said, "Elder."

"I beg the Lord Dharma King for permission!"
