Chapter 294 Yun Xiao’s Three Questions To Make Randeng Retreat

In the cave, Daoist Duobao blinked when he heard Randeng. Then, he laughed silently and patted Li Changshou’s back…

“Hahaha, Changgeng, you’re really something! Quick, what else will he say next?”

Li Changshou pondered for a while. The paper effigy’s immortal power was a little unstable from the slap. He sent a voice transmission, “It’s not easy to deduce what this senior will say next. However, there should be two scenarios. One is that he will be emotional, and the other is that he will threaten and try to coerce you with benefits.”

He continued, “There’s a high chance that it’s the former. This Deputy Sect Master wants to talk about the relationship between the three sects and their families.” Daoist Duobao immediately listened attentively. In the valley, Randeng scanned the surroundings. The Glazed Cup scanned the surroundings, but it did not find anything. This time, he paused for a while. When he saw the chaos in the valley, he spoke again. This time, Randeng’s voice was like muffled thunder. It made the ox demons feel a little dizzy. Those with lower cultivation levels than the Golden Immortal realm could not understand what the Burning Lamp was saying. Li Changshou naturally understood that the method Randeng used was indeed similar to what he had imagined…

What Randeng said was:

“Disciple-Nephew Duobao, if I have offended you in the past, please forgive me. However, the heavenly secret predicts that this treasure is greatly fated with me. I cannot lose it today. The three sects were originally one, and the Dao Sect’s luck is flourishing. As the Deputy Sect Master of Chan School, I have a deep relationship with you. Why do you have to make things difficult for me today?”

In the cave, Daoist Duobao turned to look at Li Changshou. After smiling, he could not help but feel puzzled.

He smiled and asked, “Changgeng, do you have any ability to predict the thoughts that others have? You’re right again!” “Actually, I’m just familiar with this trick.”

“Trick?”

“Yes, they’re just some commonly used techniques. Under such circumstances, the Deputy Sect Master is likely to only use these few tricks. At this moment, he is not sure if we have already left. If he has discovered our tracks, he should have forced us to appear before threatening us…”

Li Changshou chuckled and explained to Daoist Duobao.

Daoist Duobao kept nodding when he heard that. He recalled the dozens of times he had interacted with Randeng previously. The slightly plump eldest senior brother of Jie School was slightly angry. He cursed Li Changshou via voice transmission. “I’m really used to being tricked by him! No wonder I always suffer secretly! This Randeng is really scheming! At this stage, he still has the cheek to call me his disciple-nephew!” Li Changshou felt a little awkward. Daoist Duobao immediately thought of something and chuckled.

“Changgeng, don’t think too much. A junior with a good character like you is… You are very intelligent. You are different from Daoist Randeng. Quick, use another trick. What will he say next?” Li Changshou smiled and continued to think…

Those who were good at tricks would naturally understand them.

Li Changshou was just putting himself in Randeng’s shoes. He listed a few tricks that he could use at that moment and analyzed the possibility of using them.

After saying a few more lies, Li Changshou began to wonder what Burning Lamp would do next.

After all, there were many ways to go about it. Since he was not Randeng, his plan was different.

However, Daoist Duobao was already convulsing with laughter. “Awesome, awesome! This is even more comfortable than beating the Deputy Sect Master up after placing him in a sack!” Li Changshou smiled when he heard that. Then, he frowned and pondered. “Senior, we can’t resolve this matter by hiding here. Since he knows about your alms bowl and is very concerned about the treasure, he might go to the Jie School next.” Duobao came over from the side and asked softly, “Changgeng, you’re good at scheming and plotting. Just come up with an idea to get rid of him!” Li Changshou was rendered speechless. Does he really think that I am the wise star of the Primordial World, the Three Sects’ Zhuge Liang? (1. Zhuge Liang was a Chinese politician, military strategist, writer, engineer and inventor during the Three Kingdoms period.) He even casually came up with an idea to get rid of Randeng… Li Changshou had fought with Daoist Randeng previously and knew how powerful that old senior was.

Under the intersecting conditions of the ‘Fuxi’s divination’ and the ‘Coincidental Meeting of Many Treasures ‘, he had taken the first step to take away the Copper Coins of Treasurefall. At that moment, the person whom Randeng was really looking for was actually him.

Daoist Duobao naturally understood that. After all, he and Li Changshou had only obtained two copper coins that had “unknown power” in the Ox Demon Valley.

However, Daoist Duo Bao had decided to shoulder the karma for Li Changshou after his Dharma treasure, the violet gold alms bowl was exposed to Randeng, either because of his loyalty to Li Changshou or because he was dissatisfied with Randeng…

As such, Li Changshou could not leave. He was planning carefully. He did not want to let Jie School suffer because of that matter and owe Jie School karma. He did not want to expose himself in front of Randeng and be hated by him. It would be best if he could use the power of Jie School to block Randeng today. Otherwise, he would have to make a trip to the Tushita Palace and place the copper coins in the Great Daoist Master’s care…

Li Changshou had already come up with a plan.

He sent a voice transmission to Daoist Duobao.

“In my opinion, it’s best to wait and see. I want to see if the Deputy Sect Master can find out what treasure he is looking for and whether he wants to go to the Jie School. If he does not even know what treasure he is looking for, we’ll just let him do whatever he wants. Senior, I have a little trick to offer.” Duobao’s robe trembled. “Hey, tell me quickly!” Li Changshou sent a voice transmission to suggest ideas like vehement denial, counter-attacking, asking for facts and evidence, and so on.

Daoist Duobao nodded repeatedly when he heard that. His thick eyebrows and big eyes were filled with “kindness”.

After a while, Li Changshou heaved a sigh of relief and calmed down…

It was undoubtedly because the three Golden Immortal realm ox demons flew to the front of the Daoist Randeng and reported to him about their checklist.

They realized that there was not a single item lost in the valley. There were no treasures missing from the treasure vault either. However, there were many treasures placed in different directions.

Burning Lamp frowned slightly and snorted softly. A small amount of Dao runes circulated. The three Golden Immortal realm ox demons spat out blood and fell from the sky. They were already severely injured.

Duobao…

Randeng’s eyes slowly narrowed. There was a hint of hesitation and contemplation in his eyes.

Soon, Randeng continued… behaving according to Li Changshou’s prediction.

Randeng said calmly, “Since Disciple-Nephew is unwilling to appear, I’ll go and find the other disciples of the Saint of Jie School and tell them about what happened today!”

After saying that, he rode a cloud towards the southeast and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

In the cave, Daoist Duobao gave Li Changshou a thumbs-up and dragged Li Changshou out of the cave. He followed behind Randeng.

Daoist Duobao’s burrowing mystical ability was quite extraordinary.

It was not an escape technique, nor was it a Cosmic technique. Instead, it was just the extreme of digging holes. The hole in the ground did not exist in the world, but it was attached to the world. It was similar to the Great Daoist Master’s use of the Taiji Painting to walk outside the Five Elements and jump between them. He was probably a grandmaster in digging holes…

There was no one else like him.

After Randeng, Duobao, and Li Changshou’s Golden Immortal paper effigy left, something happened in the inconspicuous wooden hut in the Ox Demon Valley.

A palm slowly reached out from the ground. With a flick of his finger, he threw two ordinary copper coins from the mortal world of the South Continent into the child’s cloth bag. Then, the palm was surrounded by flames and instantly turned into ashes. It melted into the ground and did not leave any aura behind.

“Where is he going?”

Not long after they left the Ox Demon Valley, Duobao, who was traveling in the deep sea, looked at the bronze mirror in his hand and asked in confusion.

Li Changshou smiled and said, “From the looks of it, he should have gone to Golden Ao Island.”

“From the looks of it, yes.” Duobao frowned slightly and said, “There are two other disciples of the same sect hosting guests on Golden Ao Island today. They have officially become Dao companions. Uh, he seems to have invited me to be a witness. When I went out, I sensed that a treasure was about to appear, but I forgot about it.”

Li Changshou was rendered speechless.

Daoist Duobao smiled and said, “There’s nothing we can do to stop their joyous affair from being disturbed today. We’ll just give them more gifts later.”

Li Changshou sighed.

Perhaps, when the Qi Refinement cultivators of Jie School became Dao companions, they would always take the initiative to invite this Eldest Senior Brother of Jie School to be their witness.

He definitely had to give them gifts!

Along the way, he passed through the bottom of the sea and chased after Randeng. Soon, Golden Ao Island was in sight.

Randeng was still aggressive, as if someone had stolen his Glazed Cup and snatched his Life Coffin.

Before arriving at Golden Ao Island, Randeng restrained most of his pressure and said loudly to the people on the island, “Are there disciples of the Saint here? Please come out and meet me!”

The immortals of Jie School on the island were immediately alarmed. The figures in a lively hall moved. In the blink of an eye, hundreds of figures flew out, and many more figures looked around.

“Isn’t this the Deputy Sect Master Randeng of Chan School?” “Why is he here? I don’t remember inviting such a senior to attend the ceremony.”

“We have to be able to invite him. There must be something wrong with him!” In the cave, Li Changshou and Duobao looked at each other.

The latter said, “You’ve predicted it again, Changgeng. Wait here for a while. I’ll go in another direction and land on the island. I’ll bump into him!” The former cupped his hands and said, “Senior, you will win!”

“Wahahahaha!”

Daoist Duobao laughed. He turned around and with a thought, a deep hole appeared in front of him.

Create a hole with your heart and travel with the hole!

Such a mystical ability could not be cultivated by others. It was purely due to his talent. After a while, Duobao arrived at a place that was thousands of kilometers south-east of Golden Ao Island. He changed into a Daoist robe and combed his hair. He held his horsetail whisk and was about to cast a mystical ability. He was about to appear in the sky.

At that moment, before Duobao could jump, his immortal senses suddenly captured two familiar yet unfamiliar Dao runes on Golden Ao Island.

Li Changshou’s voice transmission had already reached Duo Bao’s ears through the hole. “Senior, wait! Look at the island!”

Without Li Changshou’s reminder, Daoist Duobao had already discovered that something was amiss on the island.

Clouds suddenly rose from the Golden Ao Island. A white cloud appeared under the feet of the hundreds of immortals from Jie School who flew into the sky, protecting them.

The clouds slowly dispersed, and a beautiful figure flew out of the hall. The immortals of Jie School retreated to the sides and kept bowing.

There was a hint of mercy on Randeng’s face. He sized up the person who flew over, but his frown deepened. There was no need to describe the beauty of the person who had arrived. Her figure was exquisite and stunning.

Her black hair was like a waterfall, and she had beautiful sideburns. Her plain white dress and light-colored cloth shoes were presentable. She was elegant, beautiful, refined, and gentle.

Li Changshou could not help but mutter, “Fairy, why are you here?”

Daoist Duo Bao, who was thousands of kilometers away, pondered for a while and frowned. “Why are my two Junior Sisters Yun Xiao and Qiong Xiao, who have been away for a long time, here?” “Changgeng,” Daoist Duobao asked via voice transmission. “Do I appear now?”

“Senior, there’s no hurry.” Li Changshou replied via voice transmission, “Let Senior Yun Xiao deal with it. Senior, you can appear at the crucial moment. The effect should be better.” Daoist Duobao immediately nodded. He looked at Yun Xiao’s back and could not help but smile bitterly. He even complained to Li Changshou via voice transmission.

“Why isn’t Junior Brother Zhao here… When Junior Sister Yun Xiao teaches me a lesson later, I won’t be able to handle it…”

Li Changshou recalled the power of the “kneel” on the Three-Immortal Island and could not help but smile.

Before Fairy Yun Xiao reached the immortals of Jie School, she was 300 to 400 feet away from Randeng. She first bowed slightly and asked a question directly.

Her voice was neither cold nor indifferent, neither soft nor heavy. It was ethereal and gentle. “Why did the Deputy Sect Master Randeng suddenly visit?” Randeng said coldly, “It’s a good thing that your Eldest Senior Brother did!” “Eldest Senior Brother?” Yun Xiao said calmly, “Senior Brother Duobao, did you offend Senior?”

“Hmph!” Randeng cursed. “He relied on his treasure-hunting mystical ability to snatch my treasures! If I had gone half a step later, I might not even have seen his shadow!” “Oh?”

Yun Xiao frowned slightly when she heard that.

If it were any of the other eight disciples of Jie School, they would have thought that it was Senior Brother Duobao who had snatched the opportunity of Randeng and caused him to fly into a rage.

However, Yun Xiao hummed softly and asked three questions calmly.

“I don’t know the details, but I can’t say that. May I ask, Deputy Sect Master, did Senior Brother Duobao snatch that treasure from

you?”

Randeng frowned slightly. Yun Xiao had already waved her slender fingers gently in front of him and was calculating with her fingers. Randeng said, “Although it’s not in my hands, that treasure is indeed fated with me!” Yun Xiao asked again, “In that case, did you know where that treasure was previously but you did not take it?” “That’s right!”

Randeng said calmly, “I knew where that treasure was long ago. It’s just that it wasn’t time for it to be born yet, so I’ve been waiting quietly.” “Since you knew where it was, why didn’t you wait there? Why did you wait for Senior Brother Duobao to retrieve it before coming here to blame and question him?”

Yun Xiao asked softly. Her tone was calm and composed

Without waiting for Randeng to reply, Yun Xiao said lightly, “Deputy Sect Master Randeng, we’re no longer in the ancient times. You can’t just snatch a treasure because you saw it and said that you’re fated with it.” “If we’re talking about fate, since that treasure is already in the hands of my Senior Brother Duobao, it would naturally be more closely related to my Senior Brother. Why are you being so overbearing, Deputy Sect Master Randeng?” Just as Lan Ling was about to retaliate, Li Changshou, who was in the cave, sent a voice transmission to Daoist Duobao.

“You may appear, Senior. Senior Yun Xiao, you are really powerful. Senior, you only need to say one word to decide the situation!” “Hahahaha!”

Daoist Duobao laughed loudly. With a flash, he appeared above the clouds in the sky. In the blink of an eye, he arrived above Golden Ao Island and landed in front of Yun Xiao.

“Thank you for your explanation, Junior Sister Yun Xiao. I’ve been listening by the side for a while. Deputy Sect Master, I still have a question. If you can answer it, let’s talk about the treasures today!” There was a hint of fear in Burning Lamp’s eyes, but he still asked calmly, “What do you mean?”

Duobao chuckled. “What is the treasure that you mentioned, Deputy Sect Master?” Burning Lamp said, “It’s naturally an item that is fated with me!”

“Psht!”

A chuckle sounded from behind Yun Xiao. It was Qiong Xiao.

Qiong Xiao smiled and said, “Deputy Sect Master, you don’t even know what that is. How do you know where it is? Could it be that you happened to pass by and discovered that Senior Brother Duobao was searching for treasures and got interested in it? Ah, my big brother’s wonderful technique of ‘collapsing upon contact’ is far inferior to your pride, Deputy Sect Master Burning Lamp.” Daoist Randeng’s face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

He nodded slowly. He knew that he could not do anything today, but he was not angry at all. He simply said, “In that case, I will remember this matter. I will report this to the Sect Master later and ask everyone for an explanation!”

After saying that, Daoist Burning Lamp turned around on a cloud and left after saying those words…

Daoist Duobao looked at Daoist Randeng’s back and could not help but smile. He stood with his hands behind his back and felt extremely comfortable.

After Randeng was far away, a cloud enveloped Golden Ao Island and temporarily isolated it.

“Eldest Senior Brother?”

Yun Xiao’s voice came from behind. Duobao shivered subconsciously. His smile was filled with bitterness as he slowly turned to look. Just as Yun Xiao was about to speak, Daoist Duobao moved quickly. He waved his sleeve and waved his left hand. The light in front of Li Changshou, who was in the hole, swayed.

Li Changshou appeared beside Daoist Duobao and was pulled back by the latter.

Daoist Duobao smiled.

He said, “Junior Sister Yun Xiao, look! I really picked up a treasure this time!”
