Mr. Zhong had been one of the original Nine Friends of Kunlun and was also one of the four elders overseeing the Kunlun Sect after the departure of the old nun Banbian. Another of those elders, Chan Master Zhifei, who cultivated both Buddhist and Daoist arts, had already vowed to be reborn in the Western Ultimate Bliss World. Mr. Zhong had thus become the Kunlun Sect's de facto Mystic Sect Leader.
As Mr. Zhong's eldest disciple, Yu Xiao was outstanding even among his peers in the Kunlun Sect, and naturally rather proud.
Shi Feiyang looked about his own age, yet ranked a generation above Luo Ziyan. Worse, his female disciple had fallen into a demon's lair, and he did not dare rescue her. Yu Xiao held him in considerable contempt.
When Shi Feiyang proposed turning the enemy's scheme against them, he interrupted outright. "She's trapped right in there! What do we need all these schemes for? We just charge in, kill our way through, and rescue her!"
Shi Feiyang had known this would be the result, but he still had to offer the warning he ought to give. "The Great Sun Tathagata Golden Lamp Formation down there is extremely powerful. If you plunge straight into it like this, I'm afraid you won't come out ahead."
These words only angered Yu Xiao further. He felt Shi Feiyang was looking down on them—and on the Kunlun Sect. "Whatever formation he has, it's nothing but evil demonic Monster arts. No matter how powerful an evil art is, it must turn to dust and ashes before our Kunlun Sect's righteous methods! Stay here and keep scheming yourself. We'll go subdue the demons and rescue her!"
Shi Feiyang could tolerate that, but Jiang Shu beside him could not. "You're far too arrogant! I..."
