The Sage Master Got Set Up Again and Again and Again!

The abbot looked at the area he had just fled from, which had been reduced to nothingness by the War Mist, and felt a chill run down his spine.

This Old Devil is actually that powerful?

He raised his eyes to look at the Azure Cloud Sect and said coldly, "This matter is not over!"

After he finished speaking, he slowly retreated towards One-Guard Monastery.

After watching the Abbot leave, Azure Cloud Sect turned to Zhang Yang Azure Cloud Master asked, "He seemed a bit strange. Can you figure out why?"

Since he couldn't figure it out himself, he could only wait and see if his cunning apprentice could.

Zhang Yang looked at the Sage Master and smiled, "Sage Master Uncle, shall we go back together?"

"I won't go!" The Sage Master shook his head.

A wise man does not stand under a dangerous wall. Even if he were to form an alliance with the Azure Cloud Sect, he would not easily go to the Azure Cloud Sect.

Surrounded by so many Demon Lords, they were truly at the mercy of the Azure Cloud Sect.

Especially after the battle just now, Gudoer's terrifying combat power made us even more wary.

"Since Sage Master Uncle is unwilling to go to the Azure Cloud Sect, let's discuss this here!" Zhang Yang placed chairs and tables on the water and invited Sage Master and Master to sit down.

Although this is water, the weakest person present is at the Nascent Soul Realm, so there's no need to worry about the chairs and tables being unstable.

The Sage Master sat cautiously in his chair, glancing sideways at Zhang Yang as he asked, "You're not planning to scheme against me again, are you?"

"Haha, don't worry, Sage Master, we're all on the same side now," Zhang Yang said earnestly. "I never lie to my own people!"

The Sage Master was somewhat relieved.

Azure Cloud Master glanced at him sideways, wondering how his master had been fooled.

This time, Zhang Yang brought out more chairs and invited Gudoer and Gu Yan to sit down as well.

Then, the five of them sat leisurely on the sea.

"Uncle Sage Master, you know the Abbot better. Do you think the Abbot has any ulterior motive for taking this action?" Zhang Yang asked the Sage Master first.

The Sage Master pondered for a moment before speaking with an uncertain tone, "The Abbot's lifespan is similar to mine, but Dao Attainment slightly later than me. However, he is a sword cultivator, and his combat strength surpasses mine."

If one had to rank the strongest fighters in the world, the Abbot would be among the top two.

"Oh?" Zhang Yang asked in surprise, "Then who is number one? Zhou Xuansheng?"

"On the surface, Zhou Xuansheng should be number one!" The Sage Master said seriously. "He is in the Late Tribulation Realm, and he is only one step away from ascending to the True Immortal Realm."

Therefore, his first place is without a doubt.

"What's next?" Zhang Yang asked hastily. "Who's stronger and who's weaker?"

The Sage Master looked at Zhang Yang strangely. Weren't we supposed to be discussing the Abbot?

"I'd like to know about the situation of the world's top experts." Zhang Yang immediately showed a sincere smile. "My master achieved enlightenment late in Dao Attainment and has had little contact with the world's top experts, and he doesn't travel around much."

Since we've come to the topic of masters, I would like to ask my Sage Master to introduce them to me so that I may broaden my horizons."

The Sage Master, unsuspecting, nodded slightly and began to recount the situations of various masters throughout the world.

Azure Cloud Master remained silent. On one hand, he also wanted to know the situation of the various experts; on the other hand, he sensed that the Sage Master was about to jump into a pit again...

He didn't know what trap Zhang Yang had set, but he knew this apprentice all too well.

The more sincere the smile, the bigger the trap might be!

The Sage Master reviewed the experts of the world, and finally looked at Azure Cloud Master, saying meaningfully, "You Dao Attainment probably the last among the experts of the world to attain enlightenment, and no one knows your specific combat strength. For now, you can only be ranked last."

However, judging from your battle with the Abbot today, I think your combat strength needs to be reassessed."

Azure Cloud Master smiled slightly and said nothing.

The ten Simulated Demon Lords of his Dao Domain are a closely guarded secret of the Azure Cloud Sect, and no one can reveal them to anyone at present.

Zhang Yang happily said from the side, "Hearing what Sage Master Uncle said today has truly broadened my horizons!"

Indeed, I must take the opportunity to learn from my seniors.

"Sage Master, what do you think the Abbot wants to do today?"

Having achieved its goal of Zhang Yang the idea, let's steer the conversation back to the purpose of the main point.

The Sage Master said solemnly, "Based on my understanding of the Abbot, there is a very high possibility that he would do something like this today."

He is a sword cultivator, and his way of solving many problems is by wielding his sword.

Therefore, he probably really thought that this meeting with Fellow Azure Cloud Master would be resolved with a mere sword strike."

The implication is that they probably have no other purpose than to fight and settle the score.

Zhang Yang pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "If it were just Master alone, there would be no problem with him doing this."

However, given that we have three powerful experts on our side, his intervention is definitely not normal.

The Sage Master suddenly said, "What if he doesn't know the strength of our fellow Devil Race? A thousand years ago, although some people from their One-Guard Monastery came to the Azure Cloud Continent, he never came in person. Without knowing the combat strength of you fellow cultivators, it's possible he might take other actions."

"A test!" Gudoer suddenly spoke up. "Perhaps it's a test!"

"Oh?" The Sage Master looked at Gudoer from afar.

Although they were seated, the two Demon Lords were still some distance from the Sage Master.

Zhang Yang seemed to be deep in thought, then asked, "What do you mean, senior...?"

There's a lot going on in this probing.

It could be a test of Azure Cloud Master's combat strength, but most likely it's a test of the Demon Lord within Azure Cloud Master's Dao Domain.

If this was truly a test, then the abbot's actions this time have a rather sinister purpose.

Zhang Yang didn't discuss this issue further, as it involved Simulated Demon Lord, something that couldn't be discussed with the Sage Master.

So Zhang Yang changed the subject.

The Sage Master sensed that the Azure Cloud Sect didn't want to discuss this topic. Although he was curious, he couldn't force them, so he asked another question, looking at Gudoer and asking, "Fellow Daoist, have you killed True Immortal Realm?"

Gudoer nodded slightly. "I suppose so... That True Immortal Realm back then had just reached the True Immortal Realm... Also, that True Immortal Realm was even more foolish than the one I just fought; he stubbornly exhausted his strength against me before I finally killed him."

He didn't even need to look at Gu Yan to know that it must have been Gu Yan who said it.

However, this is a trivial matter and there's nothing to fuss about.

"Could it be that you have already reached the True Immortal Realm, fellow Daoist?" the Sage Master asked cautiously.

If Gudoer and the others have truly reached the True Immortal Realm, then the combat strength of the Azure Cloud Sect will need to be reassessed.

Gudoer smiled and looked at Zhang Yang, saying, "I think many people in your area don't understand the True Intention of battle!"

You rely too much on the Great Dao and Law Treasure.

In this respect, I think you and your apprentice have both done quite well."

Then, he looked at the Sage Master and answered the Sage Master's question, "I should be considered to be at the same level as you. Of course, I am roughly at what you call the Tribulation Peak Realm!"

However, we Devil Race have fought our way up through countless battles and are extremely skilled in combat.

This is also why we feel our combat strength is far superior to yours.
