"It saved me a few months of bitter cultivation.”
To be precise, his internal strength was eighteen years and a few months.
Now that he had broken through to the ninth level of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art, his internal strength had skyrocketed, saving him several months of bitter cultivation.
This was a good thing for Shen Shaoan.
Night enveloped the entire Hengshan City. In this quiet night, many things were happening quietly.
The sound of the zither rang out, but Qu Yang suddenly stopped and stroked the strings with his hand.
"Sigh, we're all disciples. I don't want to fight. Come out.”
Qu Yang's voice wasn't loud, but a moment later, the window and door opened, and five men in coarse robes entered the room.
"Greetings, Emissary Qu.”
Qu Yang pressed his palm on the strings of the zither." You've been following me for a few days. If you have anything to say, just say it!”
"Envoy Qu, the Headmaster wants to see you."
The one who spoke was the incense master of the Wind Lightning Hall. He was still waiting for Qu Yang's answer.
Qu Yang's expression changed slightly as his palm pressed on the strings. The strings vibrated and emitted a low hum.
He knew that if he left Black Wood Cliff, he would be hunted down by the Divine Church, but he did not expect Invincible East to come personally.
At this moment, Qu Yang deeply understood that it was impossible for him to retire from the martial world with Liu Zhengfeng.
Qu Yang sighed and looked at the Hall of Wind and Thunder's incense master.""Go back and report. Qu Yang is going to pay his respects to the sect master today.”
The Wind Lightning Hall disciples did not doubt Qu Yang's words. They turned around and left.
It wasn't that they didn't have any doubts, but they believed that no one would be willing to face the Cult Master's anger.
"Sigh, I can't escape this ending in the end!”
Qu Yang heaved a long sigh. His expression was very ugly, but there was nothing he could do.
He took the zither case and put it away. Then, he took a look at the inn and left.
Under the cover of the night, Dongfang Bai was dressed as a man, holding a fan in his hand and sitting high up.
"Subordinate Qu Yang greets Cult Master!"
Qu Yang, who was dressed in black, entered the room and bowed to Dongfang Bai.
"Emissary Qu, get up!
"Thank you, Cult Master." Qu Yang stood up.
Dongfang Bai gently fanned himself with the fan in his hand. He looked at him lazily and spoke in a calm tone.
"Do you know why I called you here today?”
"This subordinate left Black Wood Cliff without permission and violated the rules of the Divine Sect. Please punish me, Cult Master!”
Looking at Qu Yang, who admitted his mistake the moment he opened his mouth, Dongfang Bai propped his chin with a round fan. He had a faint smile on his face and his eyes were deep.
"Let's not talk about punishment for the time being.”
Dongfang Bai waved the fan in his hand gently, then sat up and looked at Qu Yang.
"I'm curious. What major matter has Emissary Qu come to take such a huge risk to come to Hengshan City?”
Qu Yang bowed." These are all urgent private matters. That's why Qu Yang left Black Wood Cliff without permission. Please punish him, Cult Master."”
No matter how Dongfang Bai asked, Qu Yang said the same thing.
Dongfang Bai shook his head as he looked at the stubborn Qu Yang.""The matter of you being on good terms with Liu Zhengfeng, do you have to be able to hide it from the Divine Sect or me?”
Hearing this, Qu Yang's body trembled and he looked at Dongfang Bai with a complicated expression.
"Cult Master, this subordinate and Liu Zhengfeng are good friends. We really have the same temperament, and it's hard to find a bosom friend in the world!”
Qu Yang quickly explained and told Dongfang Bai the story of his encounter with Liu Zhengfeng.
But Dongfang Bai just stared at him, the fan in his hand shaking from time to time.
"Cult Master, Brother Liu and I only talk about music and have never been involved in Jianghu matters. My subordinates have never said anything about it either."
Liu Zhengfeng quickly explained, but Invincible East raised his fan and stopped him.
"I can understand your friendship with Liu Zhengfeng.”
Invincible East looked at him with a frown and said,""But you are the Right Emissary of the God Sect. With your identity, you are destined not to have any contact with the Five Mountain Sword Sect.”
"If everyone is like Right Emissary Qu, where would you put me, the Sect Master?”
"How can the 100,000 disciples control themselves? Are we all like you, the Right Emissary of the Divine Religion?”
Hearing Dongfang Bai's words, Qu Yang knelt on the ground.
"Cult Master, this subordinate is willing to cripple my martial arts and live in seclusion in the mountains. I will never ask about any matters in the martial arts world again!”
"The reason why Younger Brother Liu retired was because he had the same thoughts as this subordinate!”
"Sect Master, please grant my wish!"
"Right Emissary Qu, don't you understand that people can't help themselves in the martial world?”
Dongfang Bai stood up with a whoosh and stared at Qu Yang with a sharp gaze.
"Do you think it's possible to leave the martial world and live in seclusion in the mountains?”
"You are the right emissary of the God Sect and know countless secrets of the God Sect. Even if I let you off, do you think those so-called righteous sects of the martial arts world will let you off?”
"Do you know that the secrets in your head will drive countless so-called righteous martial artists to hunt you down!”
At this point, Dongfang Bai sighed and said,""Considering that you've worked so hard for the Spirit Religion, now follow me back to Black Wood Cliff and never leave Black Wood Cliff again. I can still exempt you from punishment.”
Dongfang Bai was not a kind man.
If she was really that easy to talk to, she would not be Dongfang Bubai, but Dongfang Bai.
Qu Yang clearly understood that if he were to refuse now, the furious Sect Master would definitely kill him on the spot.
After thinking about it, Qu Yang sighed and lowered his head.
He had yet to fulfill his wish. If he died like this, he would not be able to rest in peace.
Therefore, he needed to live, even if it was just for a day!
"This subordinate…I'm willing to follow Cult Master back to Black Wood Cliff, but I hope Cult Master can give me a few more days!”
"Are you waiting for Liu Zhengfeng to retire on August 15th?”
Hearing Dongfang Bai's words, Qu Yang nodded and looked at him sincerely.
"Sect Master, please give this subordinate a few days!”
"Alright, I can give you that time, but"
Dongfang Bai's sharp gaze fell on him. His aura was so majestic that Qu Yang's forehead was covered in sweat.
"Don't ruin your great future for that illusory matter.”
"This subordinate will obey Cult Master's orders!"
Qu Yang didn't understand the Sect Leader's last sentence.
At this moment, he was filled with joy. His mind had already flown to the Golden Basin Washing Ceremony in a few days, so he did not have the time to ponder over the meaning of the Eastern dialect.
Looking at Qu Yang's back, Dongfang Bai's face was filled with disappointment and anger.
"Qu Yang used to be so intelligent, but now he's so stupid.”
"Do you really think that Zuo Lengchan and the East Chamber will let Liu Zhengfeng go and let him retire safely from the martial world and live in seclusion in the mountains with you, the Right Emissary of the Divine Church?”
"Foolish, foolish!"
