Phantom Spear - C227
Previously, when he said that Du Shaoyang had woken up from his daze, he slowly opened his eyes and struggled to sit up. He realized that he seemed to have met this place before, but it seemed like he had never seen this place before. When he looked at his black shirt on the table, he instantly remembered that Lee Qingshuang was still infected by poison and was in imminent danger, so he immediately ran to the door to ask for a doctor. However, the door was already locked from the outside, making it impossible for him to escape. Bao Yuan, who was in charge of watching over him, told him the reason behind all of this. Du Shaoyang also knew how painstakingly the Taoist Tai Xu treated him. When something happened to Qing, she had indeed done very poorly in all aspects, and with the strength of so many people in the Great Qing Xu Sect, she probably wouldn’t just watch Lee Qingshuang die without saving them. Du Shaoyang could only slightly relax and immerse himself in thought, but at this moment, Bao Yuan had his own little scheme.
Bao Yuan said carefully: “Master, I have something that I hope you can agree to.” Taoist Tai Xu stroked his long beard and asked: “What is it? “Just say it.” Bao Yuan lowered his head, and said loudly: “Master, disciple requests that disciple submit to the White-haired Devil Child for a battle in seven days, I hope master will agree.” When Taoist Tai Xu heard this, he couldn’t help but be surprised. He carefully looked at Bao Yuan’s expression and his heart immediately became heavy. The Taoist Tai Xu remained calm and collected, and then said indifferently: “Bao Yuan, why did you suddenly bring up this matter?” Bao Yuan replied, “Master, White-haired Devil Child is a traitor to the Sword Controlling Sect of Shandong, but his sword arts are powerful and his martial arts are not weak. I am afraid that after you fight with him for a while, you will suffer a hidden loss due to the age gap. Furthermore, in terms of seniority, he does not need your help, he is the second generation disciple of Sword Controlling Sect of Shandong, and I am also Master’s disciple. Therefore, it would be best if I go forward to meet him. ” Taoist Tai Xu knew that his words were reasonable, and he could hear that Bao Yuan was indeed thinking for his and her Qing Xu Sect. However, Taoist Tai Xu was also able to hear some of the meaning that he was unwilling to hear. Therefore, he said: “Bao Yuan, it’s rare for you to be so brave, and your heart of honor to guard your sect is also so firm. Very good, this is exactly what I want to see for myself. However, since White-haired Devil Child is able to maintain his undefeated on the way, with his personality, it is impossible for him to find weaklings to fight with his sword arts. I am afraid that we cannot guess just how strong his sword arts are. Moreover, he has the ability to kill the Tan Berxiong Brothers, his strength is as strong as mine, with your current martial arts and sword arts attainments, you will not be able to defeat him, and if you go, you will be injured for nothing. If there is any mishap, I, the white-haired Master, will send the black-haired man over, and I will not be able to live much longer. I am already an old man anyways, and the next generation of Qing Xu Sect still needs to rely on the efforts of you and Shaoyang who are well versed in Qing Xu Sect.
Seeing that his master did not agree, Bao Yuan quickly replied: “Master. Please accept this disciple’s request. Disciple has always listened to everything you say and has never disobeyed you before. Disciple truly respects and respects you and disciple knows that there are many other disciples in the sect who have higher attainments in sword arts than me and are unable to participate because of their superior sword techniques. They are treasures that our Qing Xu Sect will flourish in the future. But this time, in order to save Miss Lee, you have to use all of your inner force. This disciple knows very well, for the safety of Miss Lee, for the sake of the people who will take charge of the overall situation, for the sake of our Qing Xu Sect’s future, I beg Master to allow me to fight in White-haired Devil Child. ” With that, he knelt on the ground.
The Taoist Tai Xu sighed and said: “Bao Yuan, get up quickly.” Bao Yuan said stubbornly, “Master, if you don’t agree to this disciple’s request, this disciple won’t get up.” Taoist Tai Xu’s expression turned slightly angry as he said, “Get up! Do you still look like a cultivator? Have you forgotten the teachings that I give you so quickly? ” Seeing that Taoist Tai Xu was truly angry, Bao Yuan immediately stood up and lowered his head: “Master, please calm your anger, disciple was in the wrong just now, please forgive disciple’s recklessness.” The Taoist Tai Xu suddenly said: “Bao Yuan, you never mentioned about fighting in the White-haired Devil Child before, why are you suddenly mentioning it today, is there any reason?” After Bao Yuan heard this, his body could not help but freeze for a moment. After calming down, he said, “Reporting to Master, indeed, this disciple had such a thought because Junior Brother Shaoyang was confined.” Taoist Tai Xu frowned and asked: “Why is it related to Shaoyang?” Bao Yuan said with a serious expression: “Reporting to Master, disciple knows that the Junior Brother Shaoyang is stronger than us brothers in every aspect, his talent is outstanding, and he has trained very hard since young, when he heard that the White-haired Devil Child was coming, his time and frequency of sword practice would increase by several times, so logically speaking, even if Master does not want to personally fight against White-haired Devil Child, this junior, the Junior Brother Shaoyang should also go. But, Master, Junior Brother Shaoyang is only twenty-three years old, after all. Even if he has an honorable talent, even if his sword arts are superb, stronger than any of the young disciples under our sect. But, in the end, he is still just an ordinary high-level Qing Xu Sect disciple like us. He is still young, and has many things to do. Therefore, he cannot go fight White-haired Devil Child, if anything happens to Junior Brother Shaoyang, then there will be no one who can break through the profound mysteries of sword techniques in the future. As the eldest disciple of my respected master, I have received the teachings of the previous Sect Leader Martial Uncle Mo Feng ever since I was young. I will always remember this, now that my master is in trouble, I cannot hide my body and hide behind people. I should stand out and share your worries, win honor for my master, and bring glory to the sect that I cultivate. ”
When the Taoist Tai Xu heard his words, and saw his abnormally resolute expression, he could not help but nod his head and say: “Bao Yuan, you have really grown, your cultivation in the way has increased again, it is truly not easy, do you know? “Many people and the disciples under us would need to spend a lifetime to truly comprehend the true meaning of the daoism contained in your words just now. Who would have thought that you would cause me, your master, to have a whole new level of respect for you today. Very good, very good.” Seeing that his Master was happy, Bao Yuan thought in his heart: Great, Master has finally praised me. Seems like this time I will be able to win honor for my sect by fighting against the White-haired Devil Child. Taoist Tai Xu patted his shoulder, and said sincerely: “Bao Yuan, listen carefully. In these seven days, practice all the movements of the Taiji Sword Art that I taught you previously more, and don’t tire out in practicing. Let me see your swordsmanship results, at that time, I can consider letting you fight against White-haired Devil Child.” After Bao Yuan heard this, he said excitedly: “Yes, master, disciple will remember this. This disciple will go practice now, this disciple will definitely live up to Master’s expectations for this disciple.” The Taoist Tai Xu smiled as he stroked his beard, and said: “Okay, you can go down first. For the mission of guarding Shaoyang, go inform Shou Yi and let him complete it.” Bao Yuan agreed, then clasped his hands together respectfully and slowly left the Qing Xu Palace.
Outside of the palace, Bao Yuan clenched his fists tightly, and looked at the dark sky, his heart felt as though the sun was shining, and finally, after waiting for so many years, he finally had the chance to show off his skills, finally had the chance to show off his talents, and finally had the chance to tame his people, to smoothly become the next Qing Xu Sect Sect Leader. If there wasn’t someone at the side, or if it weren’t for the Qingxu Mountain, Bao Yuan would probably laugh out loud. He thought to himself: Junior Brother Shaoyang, don’t blame me for taking advantage of the situation to get in.
Inside the palace, Taoist Tai Xu looked towards the door and could not help but sigh: “Bao Yuan, I hope that your intentions are good, and that you do not have any other thoughts. Whether it is you, Shaoyang or other disciples, as your master of the Sect Leader, you will all treat us as equals.
What about later?
And then we’ll see how it breaks down in the next round.
