Chapter 783: Chapter 783: Master Wang and Master Gu [Third Update] Chapter 783: Chapter 783: Master Wang and Master Gu [Third Update] Here lay a naturally ford lake, its waters crystal clear. Alongside the lake, a row of wooden cabins had been built, nestled against the mountain and by the water, full of an artistic conception.
Several long tables were arranged on the grass, where over ten people were chatting and laughing together.
Even without getting close, one could sense under the cover of their awareness that, among these people, except for two or three individuals, the rest all had their cultivation levels reaching the Nascent Soul Realm.
Over ten Nascent Soul Realm Venerables gathered together—if cultivators from the outside world knew about this, they would probably be so surprised that their jaws would drop.
Any one of these individuals, if taken out and placed elsewhere, would be a dominating presence, and now, they were all gathered here.
Li Xiaoyao secretly guessed that these Nascent Soul Realm Venerables assembling here must surely have an inseparable connection with the upcoming Inspection Envoy Ceremony.
So noticed the arrival of Liu Chengxiang and his companion; two elderly n in Daoist robes approached them.
...
“Master Liu, it’s been a long ti, I hope you’ve been well,” said one elder, his hands clasped behind his back, as he greeted him with a smile.
The other elder spoke as well, “Master Liu, you seem to be in good spirits.”
Liu Chengxiang returned the smile, but Li Xiaoyao clearly noticed a hint of perfunctory and disdain in his smile.
“Hehe, I’ve been well,” Liu Chengxiang responded.
“And who might this young friend be?” The elder looked at Li Xiaoyao with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.
Liu Chengxiang said, “Li Xiaoyao, an Elder of our Xuan Sect.”
He automatically omitted the word “guest,” and Li Xiaoyao gave him a look but didn’t ask any questions.
The relationship between him and Xuan Sect had already beco so close that the distinction between them was indistinguishable, and with his cultivation level, becoming an Elder was more than sufficient.
“Xiaoyao, this is Daoist Wang De’an, a disciple of Dragon Tiger Sect who has now started his own faction. He is one of the top Feng Shui Masters in the North,” introduced Liu Chengxiang, presenting the elder on his left, before moving on to introduce the elder on his right, “This is Daoist Gu He, a disciple of the Zhengyi Sect who has also started his own faction, one of the top masters of Qin arts in the West.”
“Hehe, nowhere close. In front of Master Liu, we would not dare to call ourselves masters,” said Wang De’an, who, despite his modest words, could not conceal his pride between his brows.
Li Xiaoyao nodded, acknowledging that he had t them.
However, his deanor appeared sowhat impolite in the eyes of the two elders.
A flicker of displeasure crossed Wang De’an’s eyes as he said, “This Li Daoist friend, so young yet already an Elder of Xuan Sect, hehe, truly a young talent.”
Gu He scanned Li Xiaoyao from top to bottom and asked, “Pardon my poor eyesight, but may I ask what realm Li Daoist friend is currently in?”
Li Xiaoyao could clearly detect the disdain in the words of the two old n. He glanced at Liu Chengxiang, who was currently looking elsewhere, as if admiring the lake.
Since there was no affection between them, Li Xiaoyao certainly wouldn’t be courteous to them.
“If you know you’re short-sighted, then don’t ask,” said Li Xiaoyao indifferently.
The two n were taken aback and felt a surge of anger. They snorted lightly, their tone clearly tinged with irritation, “Hehe, Li Daoist friend is indeed full of youthful vigor.”
“Xuan Sect really is declining with each generation. I vaguely rember when Sect Leader Fu was alive, even the lowest among his Elders was at the Spirit Cultivation Realm. Now that Sect Leader Jiang has taken over, the requirents seem to have been lowered quite a bit. I guess, Li Daoist friend must be from so prominent family in Xuan Country.”
These words were truly impolite, implying that the only reason he held the position of Sect Elder was by leveraging his family’s influence.
Li Xiaoyao, for his part, didn’t care what they said. In his eyes, there was no point in conversing with those whose hearts were always narrow and malicious.
However, Liu Chengxiang seed to have been angered by one of their comnts, and suddenly raised his voice several notches, rebuking, “Wang De’an, watch your words! My master has only gone missing. If you dare to talk about my master with that tone again, don’t bla for being rude to you!”
Wang De’an was startled by the rebuke, then his withered face turned beet red.
The Nascent Soul Realm Venerables by the lakeside had all been drawn to the commotion and were now looking over.
If he swallowed this insult, he would certainly beco the laughingstock of everyone present.
“Hmph, Liu Chengxiang, do you really think the Xuan Sect of today is still the Xuan Sect of the past? You presu to shout at ? Just because they call you a master doesn’t an you are one,” said Wang De’an disdainfully.
Li Xiaoyao looked curiously towards Liu Chengxiang. In his mory, although this old man had a strange temper and was difficult to get along with, he certainly was not soone who got angry easily.
It seed that the comnts Wang De’an made about his master had truly infuriated him.
“Your Xuan Sect is nothing but trash now. If Sect Leader Fu were still in power, perhaps I would have feared you a little.”
Having said that, the two turned and left.
Liu Chengxiang was shaking with rage. Li Xiaoyao said, “Why bother with such people?”
They hadn’t gone far when they heard Li Xiaoyao’s words. They imdiately stopped, turned around, and stared intently at Li Xiaoyao, demanding, “Boy, repeat what you just said.”
Li Xiaoyao slowly turned around, his gaze fearless as he t theirs, and said indifferently, “Who do you think you are? Daring to bark orders in front of ?”
The two’s faces darkened, their eyes cold, “Xuan Sect has indeed only produced trash.”
“Slap yourself, then disappear from my sight, and I’ll spare your life,” Li Xiaoyao said calmly, a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.
The two thought they had misheard, exchanged glances, laughed out loud, and then turned to Liu Chengxiang, “Liu Chengxiang, is this an elder of your Xuan Sect? A re Spirit Cultivation Realm youngster daring to spout wild words at us? Today, for your sake, we’ll just discipline him a bit.”
Liu Chengxiang snorted coldly and said, “I advise you to do as he says, or you’ll regret it when it’s too late.”
“The Xuan Sect has indeed fallen.”
“Fine, let do it. I’ll make you see clearly and also make you understand that the Xuan Sect of today is not the Xuan Sect of the past. These are no longer the days of Sect Leader Fu,” Wang De’an said, shaking his head and sighing as he stepped forward.
The Nascent Soul Realm Venerables exchanging at the lakeside were curious to see what was going on. One of them, seeing Liu Chengxiang, was slightly surprised and called out, “Stop!” before a fight could break out.
The man’s figure flickered, and he appeared in front of Liu Chengxiang, smiling, “Master Liu, we et again.”
Liu Chengxiang glanced at the man, recognized him, and nodded, “Let’s catch up after I’ve dealt with this matter.”
“What happened here?” After just one look, the man had guessed almost the whole story.
Liu Chengxiang said, “It’s a minor matter, no need to bother Daoist Chen.”
Daoist Chen, hearing him say this, even though he wanted to help, didn’t press the matter further. He turned to look at Wang De’an and the other person, stepped back a few paces, and said, “Then we’ll catch up later.”
