Unlucky Zheng Yunyi

The fastest update to Seeking the Dao in the Mortal World!

Zheng Yunyi looked in surprise towards the sound and saw two Daoist priests, a man and a woman... The man looked somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him before. Both of them looked very young, but he couldn't tell from their cultivation level.

Even Yellow Stone True Person couldn't discern Qin Yi's level; he could only roughly determine that Qin Yi was at the Cloud Ascension stage. Zheng Yunyi's cultivation was far inferior, so he couldn't even discern the Cloud Ascension stage, only perceiving it as a fog.

That so-called youth doesn't count; there's a very high chance he's an old monster.

Zheng Yunyi hurriedly bowed respectfully. "I don't know which senior has Scheming Sect us with your presence. This junior, Zheng Yunyi of the Strategist Sect, greets you."

Qin Yi glanced at Zheng Yunyi. In the past, Zheng Yunyi concealed his cultivation, which Qin Yi couldn't see through. Now the situation was reversed. He saw through Zheng Yunyi's concealment Technique Method at a glance. It was the second level of the Cloud Ascension Technique.

I was filled with mixed feelings.

Reaching the second level of the Cloud Ascension Realm isn't theoretically slow. Zheng Yunyi temporarily broke through to the Cloud Ascension Realm using Secret Method during the battle at the Great Joy Temple, and it's been almost three years since then. Reaching the second level is a normal pace. Actually, with Zheng Yunyi's talent, his cultivation should have been faster, but the forced breakthrough had some aftereffects, hindering his progress. Under these circumstances, reaching the second level in just over two years is indeed quite impressive.

But compared to Qin Yi's efficiency, this is as slow as a snail.

Zheng Yunyi was once stronger than him, having reached the peak of the Qin Xin realm at a young age. He was simply stuck at Tengyun Pass for too long, but he was still one of the most outstanding young talents in the Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Palace. Being stuck at Tengyun Pass was not his fault; this pass was capable of killing countless people.

Although he has now broken through the Cloud Realm, he has already fallen so far behind me... Unless he has some great fortune in the future, no, even fortune isn't enough, he probably needs to be directly empowered or something like that, otherwise no matter how hard he cultivates, he can't catch up with me.

A thought flashed through his mind, but his face maintained an air of otherworldly elegance. "The Scheming Sect, a new sect that separated from the Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Palace more than two years ago?"

Zheng Yunyi bowed and said, "That's right."

Qin Yi said with a stern face, "The Scheming Sect, not the Prostitution Sect, is it? You're holding this person's belt with a lewd smile, what strange thing are you planning to do?"

Zheng Yunyi: "???"

"It's one thing for juniors to quarrel over personal grudges, but your behavior is too despicable. I can't stand by and watch." Qin Yi said expressionlessly, "Put him down."

Zheng Yunyi said helplessly, "Senior, you misunderstand. We were just having a friendly spar."

Cheng Cheng suppressed a laugh and asked, "So what are you planning to do?"

"It's really nothing," Zheng Yunyi said helplessly. "I need to take him back to their Penglai Sword Pavilion base."

If an ordinary person said this, Qin Yi might believe it, since he hadn't actually had a chance to do anything yet. But if it's Zheng Yunyi saying this, then sorry, he won't believe a single punctuation mark.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "I have a past connection with the Penglai Sword Pavilion, so I'll see you off on your behalf."

Zheng Yunyi hesitated.

Qin Yi was too lazy to argue any further and simply reached out his hand.

An incredibly powerful suction force instantly snatched the Sword Cultivator from Zheng Yunyi's grasp. Zheng Yunyi couldn't hold on at all, and his attempts to resist with his internal energy were instantly thwarted, like ice melting and snow disappearing into thin air. Instead, the force caused his hand, which had been gripping the Sword Cultivator's belt, to loosen. In that instant, the Sword Cultivator was already in the other's hands.

Zheng Yunyi was horrified.

This isn't even some kind of Technique Method; it's just pure power absorption. The difference is...

A wise man knows when to yield, so Zheng Yunyi didn't insist further. Instead, he smiled and said, "Since you are willing to escort me, then I will trouble you. I will take my leave."

Qin Yi watched Zheng Yunyi leave without stopping him.

It's unclear whether the Palace Master's injuries have healed yet, while Heavenly Mystery Child has very likely broken through to the Qian Yuan realm through the Profound Yin Sect's scheme, so the situation isn't great. Causing trouble for Zheng Yunyi is one thing, but killing him might not be so easy and would bring trouble to the sect.

In truth, Qin Yi didn't feel that he hated Zheng Yunyi too much, nor was it to the point where he would be so jealous that he wanted to kill him upon seeing him. The thought of killing him was more about eliminating future troubles than about hatred...

Perhaps it was because although he always caused trouble for himself, he was always the one who ended up getting the short end of the stick, so he didn't harbor any hatred. On the contrary, he was quite helpful in breaking through the barriers in his relationships with his Senior Sister and Meng Qingying, making him a good wingman. It's a pity he died.

Seeing Qin Yi watching Zheng Yunyi's retreating figure, Cheng Cheng smiled thoughtfully and asked, "Do you have a grudge against this person?"

"Yes," Qin Yi laughed, "My former fellow disciples are always causing me trouble, and they even colluded with outsiders to try and kill me."

"Want to kill you?" Cheng Cheng's expression changed instantly, and she was about to chase after him. "I'll go kill him."

"Hey, hey!" Qin Yi grabbed him. "This could lead to a war between sects. The Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Palace has been very good to me, so I can't act too recklessly. I still have to consider the sect's interests."

Cheng Cheng turned back sullenly, glanced at the Sword Cultivator in Qin Yi's hand, and laughed again, "No wonder you would go out of your way to cause him trouble, coming up with reasons like lewd smiles and filthy behavior. He probably feels like he stepped in dog poop today..."

"He's probably used to having bad luck." Qin Yi couldn't help but laugh. Zheng Yunyi's luck should still be negative. This time, he ran into Zheng Yunyi, which was probably not because he was lucky, but because Zheng Yunyi was unlucky.

As she spoke, Cheng Cheng reached out and touched the Sword Cultivator's brow.

A faint green light appeared, and white mist slowly emerged from the Sword Cultivator's seven orifices.

Detoxification technique.

Cheng Cheng is skilled in battle in her demon form, but in her human form, she mainly practices auxiliary Technique Method to complement each other.

The Sword Cultivator groggily opened his eyes, his first reaction being furious. "Zheng Yunyi, let's fight another three hundred rounds!"

He quickly realized that the people in front of him had changed to a pair of Daoist priests, and immediately understood the situation. He awkwardly stepped back a few feet and bowed, saying, "Thank you for saving me. I am Chu Jiantian. May I ask your esteemed name, senior?"

Qin Yi raised one palm. "This humble Xie Cheng Layman, and this is my dao companion, Lanyi Wanderer."

"Pfft..." Cheng Cheng quickly covered her mouth, her face almost bursting with laughter.

Chu Jiantian couldn't detect anything amiss; it was perfectly normal for a lay Buddhist to dao companion since he wasn't a monk. He sincerely bowed and said, "If it weren't for your rescue, senior, I would have fallen into your trap. I am deeply grateful."

Qin Yi, still exuding an air of otherworldly wisdom, asked, "What is the reason for your conflict with that disciple of the Scheming Sect?"

Chu Jiantian, "It was originally just a casual argument, but then Zheng Yunyi kept saying that our Penglai Sword Pavilion was far inferior to the Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Palace, and that even a disgraced disciple of the Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Palace could easily beat me senseless. In a moment of anger, I took action against Wuming..."

"Wait a minute... He's already set up his own sect, yet he keeps talking about the Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Palace Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Palace. What does the Myriad Dao Immortal Palace have to do with him? And what about the abandoned disciple? Does he even acknowledge that?"

"That's what they said anyway," Chu Jiantian said indignantly. "They even said that the people from the Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Palace just snapped their fingers and our Junior Sister Li pounced on them. How can I tolerate that? I swear..."

"... Then you should just bear with it." Qin Yi coughed twice. "I must remind you, your current mentality is very wrong. The people from the Scheming Sect are so cunning that you want to die, and you're taking your anger out on the Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Palace? A swordsman shouldn't be so straightforward. I think even those who wield Wolf Tooth Club are smarter than you."

Chu Jiantian was stunned for a moment, then fell silent.

Qin Yi was also pondering. Was Zheng Yunyi just attracting enemies for the Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Palace? That was too low... No matter how much trouble he caused the Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Palace, he himself was the one who offended people. Could he really escape it?

I don't think it's that simple. Even the most Scheming Sect wouldn't stoop to this level.

As Qin Yi pondered, Cheng Cheng sighed, "Young man, shouldn't you invite your benefactors somewhere for a drink? Even those who wield sticks seem to understand human relationships better than you swordsmen."

Chu Jiantian was so embarrassed that his face turned red.

This is the first time I've ever seen a "senior expert" like this, who even asks for drinks herself? And the one saying this is a woman!

Of course, he couldn't refuse since the other party had just saved him. So Chu Jiantian said, "Our Penglai Sword Pavilion is temporarily stationed on a small island not far to the east. Please come in for a drink, senior, so that I can express my gratitude."

Little did they know that Qin Yi was also blushing with embarrassment.

Why can't we say everything outside? If you want to know something, just ask Chu Jiantian directly. Why do you have to hint at going to his base?

There's no doubt that Cheng Cheng is deliberately trying to see Qing Jun...

This is really bad.
