Chapter 17, Part 3: Do before you think
The gun is easy to hide, and the dark arrow is hard to prevent.
On Longhu Mountain, Wang Ai couldn't do anything to Yue Qing, but you will eventually return to Wudang, and he will have plenty of opportunities to take revenge.
Yue Qing didn't care about any of this.
On the contrary, he was even happy to see it.
Whether the Wang family is clean or not is another matter, but they must have a lot of connections with Quanxing. As long as they have connections with Quanxing, Yue Qing will never let the Wang family go.
"Wang Bing versus Yue Qing, Yue Qing wins!"
As the referees from the Celestial Master's Mansion announced the results of the competition, the audience in the stands belatedly realized what had happened.
It seems that the Wang family father and son have gotten into a grudge against the God of War!
……
After leaving the competition arena, Wang Ai took her beloved grandson to the Celestial Master's Mansion for simple treatment.
Although his life was saved, Wang Bing's key Qi acupoints were destroyed, rendering him completely useless. The once glorious Wang family's Xin Xin became a cripple in another world.
Not only that, Yue Qing's attack seemed to carry some kind of mental damage, causing the young master of the Wang family to suffer some mental problems. Even before he woke up, he kept muttering things like, "Reincarnated from the Demon Orb, my fate is in my own hands, not in the heavens..."
According to the relevant personnel of the Celestial Master's Mansion, this is hysteria, a manifestation of loss of soul caused by the backlash of one's own magic.
Wang Ai was a smart woman, but compared to the life of her beloved grandson, she felt that everyone in the Celestial Master's Mansion was useless and couldn't cure her precious grandson at all. Therefore, Wang Ai didn't have time to ask Lu Jin for an explanation and hurriedly took him down the mountain for treatment.
……
Just as Wang Ai was leading Wang Bing down the mountain, in a room, Lu Jin looked at his grand-disciple and couldn't help but ask the question that had been bothering him.
"Xiao Qing, did you ruin Wang Bing this time?"
"Didn't the advisor see it all?"
"Don't try to fool me, kid. You even dared to hit the Ten Elders. If you really wanted to cripple Wang Bing, you would have done it with the first slap."
"Master, haven't you figured it all out now?"
Yue Qing didn't have any ill feelings towards Wang Bing. After all, he was just a phoenix raised in the lap, used to having everything go smoothly, and not a bad person at heart.
If the opponent hadn't used the Soul Binding Technique, which was against the natural order and revealed its malevolence, awakening Yue Qing's underlying code, the inner demon Lao Yue wouldn't have emerged.
It is evident that the Eight Extraordinary Techniques, while seemingly the pinnacle of each art, are ultimately a double-edged sword; a moment's carelessness can backfire and harm oneself.
Wang Bing couldn't control the mental cost of taking the spirit. Even if his inner demon Lao Yue didn't act, he would still go insane. In other words, Yue Qing saved his life.
Wang Ai should thank us!
"I understand what you're doing, but I don't understand a single thing about the magic you're using," Lu Jin said, looking at the Taoist priest before him. "First it was the Qimen Dunjia formation, and now this spirit control technique. Wudang is a major sect of the Zhengyi School. Where did you learn all this from?"
Yue Qing was taken aback, but before he could speak, Lu Jin continued, "The older generation has its passion, and the younger generation has its secrets. I won't pry into those, but shortcuts always lead to harm. You'd better be careful, understand?"
"Thank you for the lesson, Master. I will remember it!"
Yue Qing replied sincerely.
For him, the Eight Extraordinary Skills and such were unimportant, since he already had a system; who would care about such things?
He was simply curious whether the so-called Eight Extraordinary Skills could reach the heavens.
After all, it doesn't make sense for a low-level martial arts world to have an immortal monster like Feng Baobao.
Thinking of this, Yue Qing asked, "Master, what do you think of the Wang family?"
Lu Jin was taken aback, his brows furrowing slightly. He immediately understood what the other party meant and tentatively asked, "Although I don't like that old man Lü Ci, it's only within our circle. As for Wang Ai... their family's divine path techniques have brought them immense wealth. Some things are no longer worth mentioning."
……
After leaving the room, Lu Jin told everyone not to worry about the Wang family's shady dealings, and then went to find the Old Master.
As for Yue Qing, he remained calm and composed, his Daoist mind at peace.
He is not afraid of the Wang family's revenge. As long as you are colluding with Quanxing, the inner demon Lao Yue will take action.
As for the Eight Extraordinary Skills...
The "Dou" secret technique granted him access to the "Feng Hou Qi Men" and "Ju Ling Qian Jiang" skills.
The Tongtian Lu and Qi Body Source Flow are the most readily available items at this stage. The rest will appear one by one after the Luotian Grand Ceremony. The only one that is somewhat troublesome should be the Da Luo Dong Guan.
Since Gu Qiting disappeared, there has been no trace of this thing, and there's really nothing we can do for the time being.
Currently, only two people know where Gu Jiting is: Gao Gen and Zhou Sheng.
The former was the head of a major district of Na Du Tong and had an excellent relationship with Tani Kyotei, while the latter was one of the Thirty-Six Thieves, ranking third, and should have known about the situation of the nine survivors.
……
"What the hell? You're saying Yue Qing crippled Wang Bing?!"
Outside the arena, Xu Si nearly dropped his cigarette in fright when he heard Xu San's words.
"It's like this, I had someone take a look at it for Wang Bing, and it's beyond repair... Yue Qing's technique is too skillful, and all the key acupoints are destroyed... I inquired and learned from the audience in that match that when Yue Qing made his last move, his aura was a little different."
If you hadn't seen that document, you wouldn't have thought about many things so deeply. But who is Yue Qing? He's a killing machine of the Quanxing Sect. Looking at what he's done, no Quanxing member dares to show their face around Wudang now.
At the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony, he had already beaten up two of the Ten Elders, Lü Ci and Wang Ai, and now he had even crippled the Wang family's beloved daughter, further escalating the conflict...
How so?
From the company's perspective, this is extremely detrimental to regional balance and stability!
Xu Si asked, "Xu San, what did Wudang say?"
Xu San replied, "Chairman Zhao's answer was vague, and the follow-up personnel went to Wudang, but there was nothing."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Si's expression darkened. He took the last drag of his cigarette, then stubbed it out and said, "Forget it. At least this kid's affairs are within the circle. Besides, Wudang is managed by the Central China region. If something happens, it's Ren Fei's problem, and it has nothing to do with us. I'm too lazy to bother with it."
During the conversation, Zhang Chulan walked out from the contestant's passage.
In this match, he fought Tang Wenlong from the Tang Clan.
Zhang Huaiyi died at the hands of the Tang Clan's Dan Shi. As his grandson, Zhang Chulan harbored resentment towards the Tang Clan in some ways. Therefore, in this battle against Tang Wenlong, the young man held nothing back, unleashing Yang Wu Lei upon their first encounter, cleanly and decisively ending the fight.
Although Tang Wenlong was considered a master among the new generation of Tang Sect members, Zhang Chulan's disguise made him underestimate him. As a result, Zhang Chulan succeeded in a single blow, launching a surprise attack that shocked the first team.
"Third brother, fourth brother..."
Seeing the complicated expressions on Xu San and Xu Si's faces, Zhang Chulan asked, "What happened?"
"Kid, don't ask questions you shouldn't." Xu Si waved his hand, then his gaze shifted, and he asked again, "Did you win the competition?"
"With me handling this, there's nothing I can't manage!"
Hearing Zhang Chulan's shameless reply, Xu Si nodded: "Let's go, let's go check out Bao Bao's show next."
"Fourth Brother, who did Bao'er fight again?"
"Xiao Xiao!"
