Yinshan Record

Chapter 464 Hou Feng and Changxin's Teacher Came from Heaven (Part 2)

Su Che had no idea what kind of power struggle was about to unfold in Jiankang City.

Because he is currently drinking tea, and the person opposite him drinking tea is Xue Baizhi.

Ever since he successfully assassinated Yu Chen, this elite disciple of Yuyang Mountain has frequently come to visit him.

Su Che couldn't tell if they had any ulterior motives; they just chatted casually every day about cultivation and occasionally practiced their Dao techniques together.

Anyway, I've had a pretty good time these past few days.

Of course, this might not be the case for a particular fox.

Meanwhile, things were running smoothly in Shanyin County. The three demons of Xuanshan reached a compromise with Yue Luan through the mediation of their own avatars. Elder Jin Lijin was widely elected as the new leader of the Great River Alliance. After giving the Jade Alliance Leader a grand funeral, the righteous army readjusted, and the main force turned south.

Rumors circulating in the market say that the rebel army's new objective has been to break through Guangnan.

However, with his clone acting as an inside man, Su Che naturally knew the real secret behind it.

Sikong Tu and the three demons of Xuanshan had a complete falling out. They finally reached an agreement to temporarily head south and wait for Bailudong to send someone to make contact. At the same time, the Dajiang Alliance also sent a representative to Wulao Peak overnight to ask Bailudong for their opinion.

You can't back down halfway through a rebellion.

Liu Yidao's clone was having a very enjoyable time, not only improving his skills through dual cultivation every day, but also learning swordsmanship from Yue Luan.

Indeed, Elder Yue seems to have discovered the usefulness of Liu Yidao's clone, and has started teaching Su Che swordsmanship every day. Su Che feels that Yue Luan's mastery of the Yuyang Mountain's unique skill, the Returning Wind and Withered Snow Sword Qi, seems to be even higher than Xue Baizhi's.

Although Yue Luan was undoubtedly a true immortal, Su Che doubted whether his judgment was wrong, given that he could master the unique skills of other sects to such a high level.

Perhaps Yue Luan is similar to Feng Qingyang; both were highly skilled individuals who emerged from the internal power struggles within Yuyang Mountain.

However, after several conversations with Xue Baizhi recently, I discovered that Yuyang Mountain is very united, and there has been no issue of the elders splitting up their family in the last few thousand years.

The rebel army marched south and achieved great success, leaving the Zhongshan Society's territory peaceful for the time being.

Young Master Su was enjoying his carefree life, spending his days practicing his skills, chatting and sparring with Fairy Xue, playing chess at Madam Xue's temple when he had nothing to do, teasing the fox at home, and listening to the old Yin-Yang Dharma King tell stories of the past.

These were rare, carefree days.

So much so that Young Master Su ordered his imperial guards to go out and find people, wanting to invite several old acquaintances he had met in Shanyin County to come and meet them.

For example, Old Song who runs the coffin shop, and Lin Jiugong, the Taoist priest living in the countryside.

On the side of the Imperial Guards, Commander Shi had completely given up, spending his days in a drunken stupor, indulging in extravagant pleasures. According to the Yin-Yang Dharma King, this senior often saw Commander Shi when he went out to spend money.

It must be a martial arts body honed to the sixth rank of martial arts, so it naturally has its strengths.

Since the goal is worldly wealth and luxury, it is only right to enjoy some pleasures.

With Commander Shi lying down, the Imperial Guards became Su Che's absolute domain. Since Young Master Su had given the order, things naturally started running at high speed.

The Imperial Guards are usually idle, but when they do get things done, they're always incredibly efficient and energetic.

The news came back within two days.

Old Song, the coffin maker, and his disciples joined the bandits and are now possibly with some rebel army, or perhaps they have already died in battle. Lin Jiugong's disciples are also with the rebel army, but he himself has undoubtedly gone to the East China Sea.

This news left Su Che with mixed feelings.

Since his transmigration, Song Qi and Lin Jiugong were the most chivalrous people he had ever met. Although their cultivation was low, they did have qualities that made Su San Gongzi admire them.

They couldn't be called sworn brothers, but they were old friends who confided in each other. Now, one of them went to the East Sea to seek a better future, while the other embarked on the right path of overthrowing the Great Liang.

Young Master Su didn't know what to say, and could only hope that his intervention in Shanyin County hadn't led to the demise of this old acquaintance. As for Lin Jiugong, the future was bright, and they would meet again someday. As for Old Song, with his clone there, there was no rush to meet him.

Life went on like this until Su Che finally encountered his first variable.

"How many days will you be gone, senior?"

Su Che watched the Yin-Yang Dharma King packing up his valuables. It wasn't that he was stingy with the money, but he wondered if the Yin-Yang Dharma King's ghostly body could withstand such spending.

"Since the real teacher has arrived, I, a wild man, would better keep my distance."

The Yin-Yang Dharma King placed a gold ingot into the small bundle: "Young Su, you'd better behave yourself. Your teacher, Wei, seems to be notoriously intolerant of any imperfections."

Su Che was speechless for a moment.

They act with integrity and uprightness, so how come they are treated like this by the Yin-Yang Dharma King?

What image does this senior figure have of himself?
Is it really so shameful for outsiders to discuss such a purely academic issue as the extremes of desire with Lady Miao?
"Good lad, you'd better watch yourself."

The Yin-Yang Dharma King patted Su Che on the shoulder and then scurried away.

"Fellow Daoist Su, Fellow Daoist Su?"

While Su Che was lost in thought, Xue Baizhi spoke up.

"Ok?"

Su Che looked at Xue Baizhi in front of him with a clear mind.

"I wonder if Fellow Daoist Su has any details about what I just discussed with him."

"In the current chaos of war, if Yuyang Mountain is willing to help the people of the world, I, Su, will support them even if it means splitting myself in two or breaking my bones."

"Good, Fellow Daoist Su is truly courageous and compassionate. With Fellow Daoist Su's words, I can rest assured."

Su Che nodded.

Xue Baizhi came to Su Che's door today mainly to discuss something.

Actually, this matter is somewhat related to Su Che.

That is the reappearance of the ancient underworld. The ancient city of Luofeng is now right there. No matter how fat or thin this piece of meat is, it will always attract countless scoundrels.

I wonder how many people in the East Sea and the Central Plains regard Luofeng Ancient City as a blessed land, wanting to come and test how deep their good fortune is.

As someone who experienced it firsthand, Xue Baizhi naturally knew how perilous this ancient underworld was for cultivators, but she could only say that if others believed her.

By saying things like this now, the end result can only be that people think you, Yu Yangshan, want to monopolize all the benefits.

However, the current state of Luofeng Ancient City is not optimistic.

It's secondary if adventurous cultivators die inside; what's truly terrifying is if they disturb the seal of the ancient immortals and cause some kind of disaster.

Therefore, the plan to go to Yuyang Mountain has been decided. The sect leader will personally go down the mountain to explore the ancient underworld, and at the same time, he will discuss a countermeasure with the Liang Dynasty.

How should the ancient underworld be resolved in the future?

As a leading figure in Cizhou, Su Che was asked by Xue Baizhi to communicate with the imperial court on his behalf.

Yuyang Mountain's meaning is very straightforward: you can fight your wars, but you can't leave the ancient city of Luofeng unattended.
