The Regretful One-Guard Monastery
After seeing off the Misty Sect, Zhang Yang had Zixu and Kong Xu, who were One-Guard Monastery, invite them to the Azure Cloud Sect.
"Gentlemen, it's been a long time. What brings you to my Azure Cloud Sect?" Zhang Yang asked with a smile.
Looking at Zhang Yang's smiling face, Zixu and Kong Xu couldn't help but think of the scene in the Prodigy Battlefield. On the day they finally left the Prodigy Battlefield, Zhang Yang suddenly went mad, chasing and killing everyone, even them, who were chased around in all directions.
Looking at the person in front of me, he's completely different from the madman I knew back then.
"We're not here to see you, we're here to see Uncle Cang Song," Zixu said bluntly.
Zhang Yang shook his head. "The old Daoist priest doesn't have time to see you; he's focused on breaking through to the Tribulation Realm!"
Zixu and Kong Xu exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with shock.
Is Cang Song beginning his attempt to break through to the Tribulation Realm?
Wasn't he already at the Dao Integration Realm for several hundred years?
If Cang Song really enters the Tribulation Realm, the loss to One-Guard Monastery will be too great.
"Is there anything else?" Zhang Yang feigned reluctance, adopting a stance of refusal. "If you have nothing else to do, please come down the mountain! I have many people waiting to be received and need my attention; I really don't have much time for idle chatter."
"What about Qingxu?" Zixu asked hurriedly. "Can't we at least see Qingxu?"
Zhang Yang looked at the two men with amusement and said meaningfully, "Gentlemen, you seem to have misunderstood something. Neither the old Daoist nor the young Daoist is a member of One-Guard Monastery anymore!"
They are now members of the Azure Cloud Sect!
We've spent billions of Spirit Stone on this, do you know that?
"To be honest, people from our Azure Cloud Sect aren't so easy to meet."
Kong Xu took a deep breath and said with a smile, "No matter what, we used to be fellow disciples with Qingxu and had a good relationship. How can we not greet our old friend when we come to the Azure Cloud Sect?"
Zhang Yang nodded. "That makes sense, but Qingxu currently unavailable."
He currently serves as the deputy chief designer of Law Treasure and weapons for the Azure Cloud Sect, responsible for the research and development of various Law Treasure, as well as our new weapons.
These things are closely related to the upcoming military exercises.
With the military exercises just around the corner, he really can't find the time to see you.
He deliberately used some new words to confuse Zixu and Kong Xu, and then revealed Qingxu's research and development of weapons to One-Guard Monastery.
The reason for doing this on purpose was to provoke One-Guard Monastery into having second thoughts.
When this news reaches One-Guard Monastery, they will surely think: We actually lost a Tribulation Realm? And all those Law Treasure of the Azure Cloud Sect were originally crafted by our people? If they remained at One-Guard Monastery, wouldn't they all be ours?
Once the thought of regret arises, One-Guard Monastery will definitely take action.
They can either come to the Azure Cloud Sect for compensation, or they can try every means to bring Cang Song and Qingxu back.
Either way, it will deepen the bond with the Azure Cloud Sect.
That's the purpose of Zhang Yang.
In fact, Zixu and Kong Xu were already regretting it when they heard the news.
How could they, One-Guard Monastery, suffer such a huge loss?
Zixu said indignantly, "Your Azure Cloud Sect is too unreasonable! These are all people from our One-Guard Monastery."
Zhang Yang glanced at Zixu and said calmly, "If you want to be reasonable, then you'd better stand obediently beside me right now... I'm telling you, you haven't forgotten that you actually lost to me in the Prodigy Battlefield, have you?"
"You..." Zixu glared at Zhang Yang, speechless.
Kong Xu frowned and looked at Zhang Yang, saying, "Fellow Daoist Zhang, I really cannot agree with your sect's actions."
"What kind of logic is it to forcibly seize disciples from other sects?"
Zhang Yang countered, "Then what kind of logic is it to want to snatch away Immortal Artifact from other sects?"
You two, your own One-Guard Monastery are flawed, yet you dare to accuse others of misconduct?
"Besides, Cang Song and Qingxu volunteered to Demon Suppression. Shouldn't we accept such like-minded people instead of pandering to you despicable villains with ulterior motives?"
Zixu and Kong Xu were furious at being scolded in person, but neither could vent their anger.
Because they did do something.
Looking at Zhang Yang with Kong Xu and frustration, he said with a wry smile, "In terms of eloquence, there are probably very few people in the world who can out-argue Fellow Daoist Zhang. We are naturally no match for him."
However, our One-Guard Monastery will not give up on our disciples so easily."
Zhang Yang chuckled and said, "To be honest, although you two are the pride of One-Guard Monastery, you still have relatively little say in the One-Guard Monastery."
You cannot make decisions for One-Guard Monastery. Go back and tell your elders the news. Show us, the Azure Cloud Sect, the attitude of One-Guard Monastery.
By the way, the new Azure Cloud Gazette has been sent out; it's an invitation to the military exercise.
I hope that your One-Guard Monastery can send someone to participate, so that you can observe the changes in our Azure Cloud Sect."
"Don't worry, we will definitely deliver this message," Kong Xu replied.
Afterwards, the two bid farewell and left the Azure Cloud Sect.
Back in Azure Cloud Town, both of them had resentment in their eyes.
Who would have thought that Qingxu, who was once disliked by everyone, would have such unimaginable skill in weapon crafting?
And, Cang Song actually about to the Tribulation Transcendence Realm?
Isn't it said that Cang Song are practically useless, destined to silently await their death?
This matter definitely needs to be reported to the sect's higher-ups as soon as possible.
They didn't stay in Azure Cloud Town and turned back to One-Guard Monastery.
After seeing off the people One-Guard Monastery, Zhang Yang arranged for Qi Lang to meet with them.
Like Leng Qingfeng, Qi Lang also came for the purpose of sparring.
These are their personal opinions and do not represent the sect's views.
Zhang Yang fought alongside Qi Lang for a while. Neither of them used their full strength. After testing each other's strength, they stopped fighting.
Subsequently, Zhang Yang, naturally representing the Azure Cloud Sect, sought to establish trade relations with the Sea-Heaven Pavilion.
After pondering for a while, Qi Lang, on behalf of the sect, agreed.
"Our Sea-Heaven Pavilion is too far away from you!" Qi Lang said to Zhang Yang with a serious expression. "Besides Heavenly Heart Island, our Sea-Heaven Pavilion is probably the farthest away."
To be honest, we have no intention of getting involved in your affairs.
Unfortunately, sometimes the world is in flux, and we are not in control of our own destiny.
However, now that this incident has subsided, our Sea-Heaven Pavilion has made up our minds to focus on developing our own strength. Therefore, establishing trade relations with your Azure Cloud Sect is something our Sea-Heaven Pavilion is very willing to do."
Zhang Yang nodded repeatedly. "Since ancient times, our Azure Cloud Sect has always loved peace. A thousand years ago, we also suffered an undeserved disaster, and then the subsequent situation occurred."
Brother Qi, when you return to your sect this time, please remind your elders.
We have received information that the Demon Calamity is very likely to reappear; please be prepared.
Qi Lang was taken aback and jumped up instantly, asking, "The Demon Calamity will reappear? Hasn't it already joined forces with your Azure Cloud Sect?"
Zhang Yang countered, "Where did these Demon Lord come from? What are they doing here?"
