Chapter 268 Wedding Dress
"Master, Senior Brother Li——"
Soon, the disciples at the foot of the mountain ran up, panting.
Taoist Changping asked, "Why are you so anxious?"
The young disciple said, "Saint Qi Wei wants to see you. He says he's looking for Senior Brother Li!"
Li Chonglin's heart suddenly began to beat fast.
"Go ahead. With me here, even the Holy Son wouldn't dare act rashly at the foot of Heavenly Sword Peak."
Taoist Changping said slowly.
"Yes...Master."
At the foot of Tianjian Peak.
Li Chonglin gripped the hilt of his sword tightly, looking at the moon-white figure walking towards him on the snow.
As his clothes fluttered, the red-gold feathers in his hair reflected a dazzling light in the sunlight.
Qi Wei stopped more than ten meters away, a faint smile on his lips, "Junior Brother Chonglin, how are you?"
"I am Li Chonglin, a disciple of Tianjian Peak. I was unaware of the Holy Son's arrival and was unable to greet him. I hope you will forgive me."
Li Chonglin bowed.
Qi Wei chuckled and said, "I heard that you have a top-grade gold spiritual root and are proficient in the Golden Dragon Sword Technique. Could you please teach me?"
The bone bell hanging around Qi Wei's waist rang softly in the wind, and every sound seemed to tickle his nerves.
Li Chonglin's pupils constricted and he lowered his eyes to salute, but the dragon pattern on the scabbard faintly glowed with golden light.
"I dare not, I am just beginning to get a glimpse of the way."
Qi Wei chuckled, and a ball of mist condensed from his fingertips, forming the shadow of Lu Yuguan trapped in the ice cave between the two of them.
In the shadow, Lu Yuguan was desperately trying to avoid the ice beast's pursuit, and his black crane cloak had been torn into several pieces.
Li Chonglin's breathing stagnated, and the sword energy overflowed uncontrollably, plowing a three-foot deep mark on the snow.
"You practice the way of the compassionate sword?"
"No wonder I'm always a little short of the mark. With such heavy concerns, how can I sever the causal relationship?"
Qi Wei waved his sleeves to dispel the illusion, and his ice-blue pupils reflected Li Chonglin's tense jawline.
"The situation with my sword has nothing to do with the Holy Son!"
Li Chonglin pressed his thumb against the hilt of the sword, and the golden spiritual power climbed up along the scabbard.
Seeing this, Qi Wei chuckled, suddenly flashed closer, and the ends of his hair brushed against the side of Li Chonglin's neck.
"The dragon energy of the Central Plains royal family, the sword intent of the Xuanyu Sect, and..." Qi Wei lowered his voice, "Lu Yuguan's furnace body, these three... This Saint Son is very interested in them."
Clang!
The dragon-patterned sword was unsheathed three inches, and the sharp sword energy forced Qi Wei to retreat half a step.
"You dare to touch him?!"
Li Chonglin's sword tip stopped in front of Qi Wei's throat, and the sword body vibrated and made a dragon roar.
In the winding blood lines on the snow, there was actually fine golden sand flowing with spiritual power.
Qi Wei's neck was scratched and blood oozed out, but he smiled even more happily: "What a passionate and heartfelt sword intention! This drop of heart blood, this Saint Son accepts it."
His fingertips brushed across the wound, and blood beads condensed into ice crystals and fell into the bone bell.
Li Zhonglin's eyes flickered, "How do you know...Yu Guan's physique?"
"Oh, his whole body has been examined, who wouldn't know that he is the body of a cauldron?" Qi Wei said slowly.
Li Chonglin's pupils suddenly contracted, the hand holding the sword trembled slightly, and the golden light on the sword edge flickered.
"shut up!--"
"You don't know yet, do you?" Qi Wei said, stroking the bone bell, "When he was stranded in Zhongdu, it was our sect elders who brought him back to Longhua Country."
"The so-called third son of the Bai family is just an identity forcibly given to him after his memory was sealed."
Li Chonglin was shocked: "This... this is impossible!"
Qi Wei's words were like a sharp dagger, piercing his heart and revealing the truth.
"You're talking nonsense!" Li Zhonglin's voice was low and hoarse, with a flash of pain in his eyes. "Yuguan...it's impossible..."
Qi Wei chuckled and gently plucked the bone bell with his fingertips. The sound of the bell was crisp but a little cold.
"Why do you think he was chosen by the Xuanyu Sect?"
"It's just because of his special physique that he is a rare and superior furnace."
"Didn't Taoist Changping tell you?"
The figure of Lu Yuguan flashed through Li Chonglin's mind.
That boy with a bit of cunning.
He once thought that Lu Yuguan was just extremely talented, but he never imagined that there was such a cruel truth behind it.
"Impossible... He never mentioned Yuguan..."
Li Chonglin's voice became lower and lower, and the golden light on the sword edge gradually dimmed.
Seeing this, Qi Wei slowly approached and whispered, "Why do you think he came to Xuanyu Sect?"
"Everything was arranged by the sect elders. His fate was already determined."
"The body of the furnace is destined to be used as a tool for others."
"And you are just a passerby."
Li Chonglin suddenly looked up, golden light flashed in his eyes, and the tip of the sword pointed at Qi Wei's throat again.
"Shut up!"
"Yuguan is mine, I will never let you hurt him!"
Qi Wei didn't dodge or evade, instead he laughed even more wantonly, "Hurt him? Why would I hurt him? He is a gift prepared by the Sect Master for this Holy Son."
"The furnace cauldron physique is so rare, this Saint Son will only love him well."
"As for you, you'd better give up as soon as possible, lest you go astray!——"
Before he finished speaking, Qi Wei's figure suddenly disappeared, turned into a ball of ice mist, and instantly appeared behind Li Chonglin.
Li Chonglin reacted extremely quickly. He turned the sword tip and swept across with golden light, but it only shattered Qi Wei's afterimage.
"Your sword is too slow."
Qi Wei's voice came from all directions, with a hint of teasing.
Li Chonglin gripped the hilt of the sword tightly, beads of sweat oozing from his forehead.
He knew that Qi Wei was much stronger than him, and if he fought head-on, he would have no chance of winning.
But when he thought that Lu Yuguan would fall into this person's hands, he felt an uncontrollable rage in his heart.
"Qi Wei!"
"If you dare to touch a hair of Yuguan, I will make you pay the price!"
Li Chonglin roared angrily, and the tip of the sword suddenly pierced into the ground. Golden light spread around like a tide, melting all the surrounding ice and snow.
Qi Wei tapped his toes lightly and chuckled, "Ever since we talked about Lu Yuguan, your sword intent has shown a flaw."
"If that's all you have in mind, you'd better leave Tianjian Peak as soon as possible."
"So as to avoid embarrassing Taoist Changping."
Li Chonglin gritted his teeth, anger boiling in his heart, but he also knew that what Qi Wei said was true.
His sword moved because of Lu Yuguan, and was also disordered because of Lu Yuguan.
At this moment, a cold voice came from a distance.
"Why does Saint Son have to embarrass this disciple?"
Li Chonglin suddenly turned around and saw Taoist Changping walking towards him on the snow, his clothes fluttering and his expression indifferent.
Qi Wei raised his eyebrows slightly, a hint of fear flashed in his eyes, but he quickly returned to his nonchalant look.
"Elder Changping, it's been a long time since we last met. You're still as elegant as ever."
Taoist Changping smiled faintly and glanced at Li Chonglin. Seeing that he looked embarrassed, he knew what had just happened.
He walked slowly to Li Chonglin's side, raised his hand and gently pressed it on his shoulder.
"Zhonglin, step back."
Li Chonglin opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but seeing the determined look on Taoist Changping's face, he had no choice but to lower his head and step aside.
Taoist Changping looked at Qi Wei and said calmly, "I have never objected to the decisions made by the Sect Master, but since it involves disciples of Tianjian Peak, I cannot ignore it."
"If Saint Son continues to press me, I will show no mercy."
Qi Wei smiled and said, "The elder is absolutely right. I was rude to you. I apologize."
Li Chonglin raised his eyes and stared at Qi Wei, his fists clenched so tightly that blood almost seeped out.
Qi Wei...
Xuanyu Sect...
Yuguan must not fall into their hands!
