#349 - Qinghui's acting is poor
Little Green Mountain, the hub of Qinghai City, its central town is like a heart, driving the city's ceaseless operation.
The headquarters of the Enforcement Team is also located here, with squads from all directions and the elite forces of Little Green Mountain gathered together, jointly guarding this prosperous area.
Looking from afar, thousands of miles away, stands the majestic Azure Cloud Mountain, the true location of the Azure Cloud Sect, and Qinghai City, as the leading city under Azure Cloud, is like the face of the sect, radiant and dazzling.
Little Green Mountain, an extraordinary place, its uniqueness is self-evident.
Frog Saint leaped lightly, following Lan Qianxue's footsteps, stepping onto this sacred ground.
Lan Qianxue controlled her magical artifact, with a waist牌 (waist牌) specially bestowed by Little Green Mountain hanging from her waist. With this 牌 (waist牌), whether it was an enforcer of justice or a highly regarded inner disciple of Little Green Mountain, all showed respect and yielded, making the road unimpeded.
However, just as the group was about to step into the gates of Little Green Mountain, a team suddenly blocked their path. The leader was a talented young man, dressed in the uniform of the Enforcement Team, heroic and spirited, his cultivation having reached the peak of the late Foundation Establishment stage.
Behind him followed dozens of Qi Refining stage disciples and three late Foundation Establishment stage experts. This was an elite division within the Little Green Mountain Enforcement Team, known as 'Azure Grey'.
Azure Grey's eyes were like torches, blocking the way and asking, "Fairy Lan, who is this fellow Daoist? We haven't met before, so we may need to investigate in detail.
Recently, Qinghai City has been under martial law, guarding against the lurking shadow of Li Chengfeng, the thief. Although there are orders from above that are difficult to disobey, it is our duty, so we must be cautious."
Having said that, his gaze shifted between Lan Qianxue and Li Chengfeng, as if trying to see through everything.
Upon hearing this, Lan Qianxue's expression changed slightly, and she thought to herself that this person was a leader in the Enforcement Team, but relied on his status as the grandson of Supreme Elder Qinglu to act ostentatiously.
Mentioning Li Chengfeng, Azure Grey gritted his teeth even more, because the reward for that great demon was as high as 300,000 high-grade spirit stones, shaking all directions, and Azure Grey himself, despite having a prominent background, was unknown, so he inevitably felt unbalanced in his heart.
Li Chengfeng sat leisurely in his chair, his gaze sharp but without saying a word, only lightly glancing over Azure Grey, silently judging in his heart: this person, although his cultivation is not bad, is nothing more than that, there is nothing outstanding about him, so he did not take him to heart, letting them direct and act on their own.
Seeing this, Lan Qianxue clasped her fist and saluted, speaking earnestly, "Fellow Daoist Azure Grey, this time I specially invited Fellow Daoist Li Bai to come here to cure a stubborn illness of a dear friend.
Fellow Daoist Li Bai is known for his uprightness, and he will surely be able to drive away evil spirits. I hope Captain Azure Grey can grant us a favor and not stop us."
Azure Grey smiled slightly, seemingly casually saying, "This matter is simple, I just need to use a compass to check and confirm that he is not Li Chengfeng."
Having said that, he took out an ancient compass and injected magical power into it. Immediately, the compass buzzed and vibrated, radiating light in all directions, turning into a white light that pointed directly at Li Chengfeng.
The corners of Li Chengfeng's mouth curled into a faint smile, but he was secretly calculating in his heart.
He had already seen through that this compass was extraordinary, and was actually a magical artifact for binding spiritual power, called the 'Spirit Locking Compass'.
However, he was confident and did not take any action. The white light hit Li Chengfeng squarely, his body paused, but his face showed surprise.
Feigning ignorance, "Fellow Daoist Azure Grey, what do you mean by this? Why am I so weak at this moment and unable to move?"
Seeing this, Azure Grey couldn't help but burst into laughter, "Haha, this is my Spirit Locking Compass, not to search for Li Chengfeng, but to lock your spiritual power.
Although you are not Li Chengfeng, you dare to deceive Fairy Lan and swindle the Nameless Heavenly Book from her hands, I will naturally settle this account with you!"
Upon hearing this, Li Chengfeng frowned slightly, and there was a bit more coldness in his tone, "Hmph, can the Enforcement Team act recklessly?
I am not Li Chengfeng, and I have not done anything wrong, so why are you locking my spiritual power?"
Azure Grey stepped closer, with his hands behind his back, and snorted coldly, "You rogue cultivator, you are so bold, deceiving the fairy, your sin is unforgivable.
Today, I will act on behalf of Heaven and let you know the majesty of the Enforcement Team!"
Lan Qianxue's beautiful eyes turned, and she hurriedly spoke, "Wait, Fellow Daoist Azure Grey, you have misunderstood.
This Nameless Heavenly Book was indeed voluntarily given to Fellow Daoist Li Bai by me, only because I wanted to see if he was a destined person.
The facts prove that he does have an inextricable relationship with this Heavenly Book.
Since it has already been given, it has nothing to do with him anymore, there is no coercion or deception."
Azure Grey didn't think so, shaking his head and saying, "The fairy is too kind, there are many cunning people in this world, full of benevolence and morality, but behind their backs they are all petty thieves.
This person seems gentle and refined, but in reality, it is difficult to fathom his depth.
As the captain of the Enforcement Team, how can I sit idly by? You say that this book needs to be obtained by a destined person, then I, Azure Grey, ask myself that I also have a deep interest in this Nameless Heavenly Book, why not let me try?"
Hearing this, Lan Qianxue's smile was still gentle, "Since this book has already been given, it has nothing to do with me. If it is destined for Fellow Daoist Li Bai, then that is his good fortune.
As for how to dispose of it, you two need to discuss it yourself.
But at this moment, we do have important matters to attend to, I hope Fellow Daoist Azure Grey can be merciful, release the restriction on Fellow Daoist Li's mana, so that we can continue to move forward."
Li Chengfeng sneered in his heart, already understanding that the two were putting on a double act, the purpose of which was nothing more than to take back the Nameless Heavenly Book.
He simply decided to play along, and said indifferently, "Fellow Daoist Azure Grey, we cultivators should naturally convince people with virtue.
Since you say that you are destined for this book, I, Li Bai, am not a stingy person either, and I am willing to lend this book to you for a month.
If you can gain something during this period, then it is naturally fate, and it will not be too late for us to compete again.
But if you don't even have this courage and confidence, then how can you bear the name of the captain of the Enforcement Team, and even waste the Azure Cloud Sect's efforts in cultivating you?"
Hearing this, Azure Grey was first stunned, and then laughed loudly, "Li Bai, your words are very much to my liking, you are indeed a reasonable person.
Okay, I will do as you say, a month later, if I can gain something, we will compete again.
But if I return without success, this book should naturally be returned to you."
Having said that, he waved his palm, and the spiritual power in the compass surged, and the restraining force on Li Chengfeng's body instantly dissipated.
Although Azure Grey eagerly desired to obtain the Nameless Heavenly Book, he also knew that the purpose of this trip had been achieved, and it was not appropriate to entangle further.
He thought to himself, although he had tried to comprehend this book before, he had gained nothing. Now that it had fallen into Li Bai's hands, perhaps there was really something extraordinary about it.
Since he was acting under orders, and the purpose had been achieved, he simply went along with the flow and stopped pestering, turning around and leaving.
Frog Saint glanced askance at their departing backs, and the corners of its mouth curled into a sneer, "A bunch of clowns, shameless rats.
A month later, my master will make you all show your true colors."
It seemed unable to restrain its impulse, but was restrained by some kind of force, and could only continue to say indignantly, "If it weren't for my master's obstruction, I would have swept you all away to the clouds!"
Lan Qianxue was already accustomed to such remarks and didn't take them to heart.
Frog Saint thought to itself, "These fools still want to plot against my master, they are really overestimating themselves. That is clearly a fake,
They are still complacent, it's really ridiculous."
As for how the Karma Demons would 'entertain' them, Frog Saint was also quite curious.
Li Chengfeng had a calm expression, as if everything was under control. He firmly believed that this book was not destined for Azure Grey, and it would be returned intact after a month.
Lan Qianxue pondered in her heart, she knew that once this book was taken back, it would eventually fall into Ye Bitong's hands.
This book would no longer be related to Li Bai, but that was also very helpless after all. This book was so precious, it originally belonged to Ye Bitong, and they had no choice but to say that Li Bai's fortune was shallow.
