Wagered Duel
Zhang Yang didn't take Cang Song's words seriously. How could the cultivation of the Great Dao be based on such a simple reason?
"Anyway, congratulations on your breakthrough." Zhang Yang congratulated you with a smile. "According to our custom, a banquet is held to celebrate after a breakthrough."
"Great! Great!" Cang Song nodded repeatedly with delight. "How many tables will we set up this time? What dishes will we cook?"
Zhang Yang said irritably, "You really thought I was treating everyone?... I just wanted to use your breakthrough as an excuse to collect gifts. There are hundreds of thousands of Rogue Cultivators in Azure Cloud City. Whenever I hold a banquet, they all have to come and give me gifts. Every time, I collect hundreds of millions of Spirit Stone!"
"Ah..."
The Cang Song finally fell silent.
Ling Yunzi and the others shook their heads, turned around, and left.
They've all been through it anyway, it's not a big deal.
Cangsong smiled Cang Song, grabbed Zhang Yang, and said, "Are you really going to ruin my old face like this?!"
Zhang Yang smiled but remained silent.
At this moment in Azure Cloud City, although countless Rogue Cultivators were terrified by the intent to Slaughter, they were all incredibly excited and began preparing gifts when they thought about the upcoming banquet held by the Azure Cloud Sect.
They've been in Azure Cloud City for so many years, and it's almost become a tradition for the Azure Cloud Sect to hold a banquet whenever someone breaks through.
When he saw hundreds of thousands of Rogue Cultivator lining up to listen to his teachings, Cang Song felt relieved and enthusiastically preached to Rogue Cultivator.
Looking at the dense crowd in the Martial Practice Arena, Zhang Yang frowned and asked, "Master, even the old Daoist has broken through, why hasn't Seventh Martial Aunt broken through yet? Is something wrong with her?"
Although Baiyun Zi was the last to go into seclusion, it had already been several years.
Of the Azure Cloud Seven Sons, only Baiyun Zi has not yet emerged from seclusion.
Azure Cloud Master's expression also turned solemn. He glanced at White Cloud Peak and said, "Seventh Sister is asleep!"
Her cultivation method is different; she should break through to the Dao Integration Realm when she wakes up.
However, her Great Dao is to pursue the purity of the soul... I'm a little worried that she's asleep and doesn't want to wake up!
"How about we wake her up?" Zhang Yang asked.
Azure Cloud Master's expression was somewhat complicated. He was worried that waking Baiyun Zi at this moment would disrupt Baiyun Zi's cultivation.
However, if Baiyun Zi doesn't want to wake up, that would be a big problem.
Because Baiyun Zi cultivates Mind Power, his seclusion is different from that of others.
"Wait another year!" Azure Cloud Master said resolutely. "Given Lao Qi's talent, she should have emerged from seclusion long ago."
"If she hasn't emerged from seclusion a year later, then something must have happened to her."
No matter what the problem is, external intervention is necessary.
Zhang Yang nodded.
There shouldn't be any problems within a year.
At the Azure Cloud Sect, Cang Song was preaching.
Meanwhile, in Azure Cloud City, the people belonging to One-Guard Monastery relayed the information about Cang Song's breakthrough back to One-Guard Monastery.
Upon hearing that Cang Song had reached the Late Dao Integration Realm, the abbot instantly became furious again.
Although they had previously suspected that Cang Song had broken through, the Azure Cloud Sect had not made any further response or provided any clear evidence to prove that Cang Song had broken through.
But now, it's certain.
"Damn the Azure Cloud Sect!" the abbot cursed fiercely, then shouted at Yun Song, "Go tell Azure Cloud Master to come out and fight me. We'll have a public duel. If he loses, he'll return Cang Song!"
The Cang Song hadn't broken through for hundreds of years, but now it had reached the Late Dao Integration Realm.
The next step is the Tribulation Realm.
Even if they can't Tribulation Transcendence Realm, the Dao Integration Peak is still the foundation of a major sect.
In addition, One-Guard Monastery was suspected of being swindled out of hundreds of billions of Spirit Stone by the Azure Cloud Sect, which added new grudges to the old ones for the temple master.
He's a swordsman, so it's only natural that he draws his sword!
However, he was wary of the many Demon Lords in the Azure Cloud Sect, so he had no choice but to openly challenge Azure Cloud Master.
The One-Guard Monastery's newspaper publicly announced that the temple master was challenging Azure Cloud Master to a duel!
Yun Song went to the Azure Cloud Sect, and at the same time, he brought this newspaper to Azure Cloud City, spreading the news throughout the world so that everyone would know.
At the Azure Cloud Sect, Yun Song said to Azure Cloud Master and Zhang Yang, "Please give us a response to the Abbot's challenge!"
Zhang Yang looked at Azure Cloud Master and asked, "Master, do you have any free time to fight?"
Whether or not to fight is his decision; whether or not it is convenient for him to fight is his master's decision.
"No problem!" Azure Cloud Master nodded.
He has already Mid Tribulation Realm, and the Demon Lord in the Dao Domain have also changed their appearance, making it the perfect time for a major battle.
He needs great battles to hone his Great Dao and enhance his strength.
After receiving his master's affirmative reply, Zhang Yang said to Yun Song, "Since my master is willing to take the time to spar with the Abbot, I, as his disciple, have nothing more to say. Let the Abbot wait to accept the challenge. As for anything else, our Azure Cloud Sect will not agree!"
Another betting contest on the Cang Song?
What kind of problems are these?
Yun Song smiled and asked Zhang Yang, "It seems you don't have confidence in your School Leader!"
Zhang Yang said in a very serious tone, "This is not a question of whether we have confidence or not, but rather that we cherish our fellow disciples far more than you can imagine."
They are our brothers and sisters, not people we can use for casual battles and fights.
Do you know why your One-Guard Monastery can't retain its people?
Because you have never treated them as human beings!
"It's only now that you realize their value, you're starting to regret it, and you feel you've suffered a huge loss, that's why you've taken this action."
"Alright, alright!" Cang Song walked in, saying irritably, "I heard everything."
He sat down and said to Yun Song in a low voice, "Zhang Yang is concerned about my feelings and is unwilling to use me as a gambler, which I don't care about."
However, I am at least a Late Dao Integration Realm, and I still have a chance to the Tribulation Transcendence Realm. So, may I ask what your esteemed sect plans to use to gamble on my Late Dao Integration Realm?"
Hearing the detachment in Cang Song's tone, Yun Song's expression changed, and he said, "Cang Song, this is just the abbot's way of showing you respect."
Cang Song smiled and said, "I have already seen how much the abbot values me. Now, please answer my question: what are you going to use to gamble on my Late Dao Integration Realm?"
Yun Song fell silent.
Since the Abbot has been at the Mid Tribulation Realm for over three hundred years, isn't it only natural that he would defeat Azure Cloud Master?
Why even need to consider gambling?
Cang Song that Yun Song was speechless, Cang Song smiled and said, "How about I make a request?"
If the abbot loses, he'll have to move everything from my dilapidated temple to my place, how about that?
Even a tattered fur coat must be delivered to me. If anything is missing, I'll demand it from you.
"What?" Yun Song's expression changed drastically.
Is this a move to sever all ties with One-Guard Monastery?
Cang Song smiled faintly, "Over the years, I've actually been hesitant. But through many things, I've seen through your true colors, so I might as well give you a clear answer!"
"Want to gamble at the Feather Insignia Hall?"
Yun Song took a deep breath. "You really don't want to go back? What if the abbot wins?"
Cang Song looked at Yun Song with a resolute expression. "Even if I die, I will not go back!"
"Fine!" Yun Song's expression turned cold.
