“Everyone, take care. Come visit often. When you have nothing to do, you can come for tea and fishing.”
After waving goodbye to everyone, Qi Hao looked at Leng Yanzhu with a smile.
Qi Hao said, “Good Disciple, you performed very well. Cultivate properly, and I’ll get you some good treasures another day. Go on, go.”
Seeing this, Leng Yanzhu thought, what good things could this cheap Master possibly get?
Could it be that there’s a hidden treasure vault on Wu Feng Mountain?
Otherwise, how could Qi Hao, a Qi Refining Realm practitioner, possess things like the Divine Emperor Sword and Universe-grade Cultivation Technique?
The more Leng Yanzhu thought about it, the more plausible it seemed. Her eyes flashed. She had been on Wu Feng Mountain for a month, but she hadn’t thoroughly explored everything on the mountain, having been focused on Cultivating.
Leng Yanzhu guessed that there must be a place on Wu Feng Mountain where treasures were hidden, she just hadn’t discovered it yet.
“Cheap Master, I’m just going to look. Where did you hide the things?”
Qi Hao had no idea what Leng Yanzhu was thinking. If he did, he would definitely give her a thumbs-up and praise her for her incredibly strong self-delusion.
Qi Hao excitedly returned to the lake and continued fishing.
For this past month, Qi Hao had barely left the lake.
He had built a thatched hut by the lake, set up a lounge chair, and prepared some snacks and drinks, enjoying his time while fishing.
【Ding!】
【Congratulations to the Host for obtaining: Grand-grade Net of Heaven and Earth Array】
【Net of Heaven and Earth Array: A Grand-grade defensive Formation that can bind heaven and earth. Even if a King Realm expert rashly intrudes, they will be struck by divine lightning and unable to escape.】
Qi Hao reeled in his hook, and another good item was caught.
Qi Hao’s face lit up as he looked at the description of the Formation.
He had to admit, this thing was really useful. Covering the entire Wu Feng Mountain with this Formation would prevent any random cats and dogs from showing up.
As soon as he thought of this, Qi Hao began to act.
Rumble!
With a thought, a miniature circular array shimmering with light appeared in Qi Hao’s hand. With a wave of Qi Hao’s hand, the small array transformed into a gigantic Formation, descending to cover Wu Feng Mountain.
As the Net of Heaven and Earth Array fell, the entire Wu Feng Mountain began to shake as if an earthquake had occurred, changing the very foundation of Wu Feng Mountain.
Immediately after, a golden light flashed, and a massive protective shield enveloped the entire Wu Feng Mountain, wrapping it up.
The golden light flashed and faded, gradually becoming transparent, as if it had never appeared at all.
“What happened!?”
Leng Yanzhu walked out of her residence, attracted by the earthquake caused by the deployment of the Formation. But when she came out, the unusual phenomenon of the Formation was already gone.
This made Leng Yanzhu puzzled, and then even more certain that there was a hidden treasure vault on Wu Feng Mountain.
Leng Yanzhu grew more curious, and her curiosity led her to decide that she would investigate tonight.
At the same time.
Not far from Wu Feng Mountain, a figure stealthily approached.
This figure was an old man with bright eyes and sword-like eyebrows, none other than the Sword Mountain Master, Jian Ziqing.
After everyone left, Jian Ziqing secretly circled back. He was truly unwilling, unwilling to see a peerless Prodigy become Qi Hao's Disciple just like that.
He wanted to find a way to lure Leng Yanzhu over, tempting her with various resources, Martial Skills, and Cultivation Techniques. He refused to believe that with his abilities, he would be worse than Qi Hao.
“What’s going on with this Wu Feng Mountain? I just felt a fluctuation, but why is it gone all of a sudden?”
As soon as Jian Ziqing returned, he sensed a fluctuation coming from Wu Feng Mountain. This fluctuation was not weak, almost making him think something big had happened.
Jian Ziqing was puzzled, but as night approached, he didn't bother with it anymore and directly snuck onto Wu Feng Mountain.
“Who!”
Just as Jian Ziqing moved, his eyes flashed, and his Divine Sense detected someone nearby. He quickly spoke out.
In Jian Ziqing’s sight, seven figures appeared furtively. Who else could they be but the Mountain Masters of the other seven mountains?
“Oh, what a coincidence, Sword Mountain Master, we meet again.”
“Heh heh, Wu Tongtian, it really is a coincidence. What are you doing here late at night instead of staying on Wu Mountain?”
“Jian Ziqing, why are you here?”
“I’m bored and came out for a walk, is that not allowed?”
“Brother Jian, stop deceiving yourself. Everyone knows what you want to do. Are you trying to repeat the trick of snatching people from my Body Mountain back then?”
Jian Ziqing’s old face immediately flushed red. This statement was indeed true.
Back then, he had taken a liking to a sword Cultivating Prodigy and intended to take him as a Disciple, but that Prodigy had joined Body Mountain, which greatly displeased him.
Immediately after, Jian Ziqing snuck onto Body Mountain late at night, abducted that Prodigy, and began to promise various resources and give various good things, only then with great difficulty securing that Prodigy.
Because of this, Body Mountain’s Mountain Master Li Qiongqi fought him for a month. This incident caused a huge uproar at the time, and it was fortunate that the newly appointed Sect Master Liu Piao Miao intervened to stop it.
Otherwise, who knows what would have happened.
Jian Ziqing’s old face flushed: “Brother Li, you can’t say that. So many years have passed, and you’ve seen the progress of my Disciple. He is indeed suitable for Sword Cultivator. I did it for his own good.”
“Hmph!” Li Qiongqi snorted coldly. It was better not to mention this matter, as bringing it up only made him angry. “Jian Ziqing, you still have the nerve to bring it up. Don’t forget, you owe me a favor.”
Jian Ziqing feigned ignorance: “What favor?”
“What? You want to renege on a debt?” Li Qiongqi roared furiously, “Believe it or not, I’ll take action right now and directly snatch someone from your Sword Mountain?”
Jian Ziqing was about to get angry, and Li Qiongqi also glared, circulating his power, ready to strike.
The two sides had long disliked each other, and bringing up old matters now only added fuel to the fire.
“Alright, what are you arguing about? This is Wu Feng Mountain, not your Sword Mountain or Body Mountain. If you want to fight, go back and fight.” At this moment, Dan Mountain Master Mei Renjing shouted softly.
Hearing this, Jian Ziqing and Li Qiongqi both shut up. They both understood that now was not the time to argue.
“Everyone’s goal this time is probably the same, which is that they don’t want Leng Yanzhu to waste away on Wu Feng Mountain, and they all want to take this Disciple.”
“I didn’t. I really just came here to look around. Don’t talk nonsense. I wouldn’t do something like snatching a Disciple.”
“Oh! Really? Then don’t let us see you go up Wu Feng Mountain later, otherwise, a few of us will directly beat you down.”
“No, no, no, that’s so boring. I take back what I just said.”
“Hmph, stop wasting words. Since everyone has the same idea, then after we go up Wu Feng Mountain, let’s rely on our own abilities!”
After speaking, the eight nodded heavily, apparently reaching an understanding.
Subsequently, the eight Mountain Masters of Piao Miao Sect began their Disciple-snatching behavior. If others knew about such an outrageous matter, they would surely be dumbfounded.
They never expected that powerful figures like the eight Mountain Masters would resort to such sneaky behavior for a Disciple.
It was truly an eye-opener.
