Chapter 107: Black Cloud!

Ding Xie had indeed studied Daoist arts.

【Shenxiao Visualization Method】!

Moreover, his recent practice had been quite smooth.

He was only one breath away from being able to visualize for ten breaths.

Given Ding Xie’s personality, he naturally wouldn’t deny it.

Immediately, he nodded.

Seeing Ding Xie nod, Guo Rang smiled even more warmly. Then, this Great Wanderer muttered to himself while nodding.

“Wenxiang Cult!

Daoist brother, you have also come for the Wenxiang Cult!

No wonder I could encounter such a brilliant and talented person like you here!”

Wenxiang Cult!

Upon hearing this name, Leng Wa’s hand gripped the hilt of his saber.

The scene in the Chen family’s secret room was still vivid in Leng Wa’s mind.

He would never forget that little kid’s smile.

Leng Wa looked cold on the outside, but his heart was warm.

Region Swordsmen value righteousness and disregard death.

He wanted to seek justice for that little kid.

Guo Rang noticed Leng Wa’s reaction and instantly guessed what was going on.

“The Wenxiang Cult originated in the previous dynasty.

The cult leader, Wang Sen, claimed to have once saved a fox, which bit off its own tail and gave it to him, emitting a strange fragrance.

Thus, it was called the Wenxiang Cult.

It was once glorious, and the previous leader, Fang Rongsheng, even rebelled against the Pseudo-Dynasty to restore the Ming, only to be tragically executed by slow slicing.

The members of the Wenxiang Cult dispersed and went into hiding everywhere. It wasn’t until three years ago that someone claimed to be the leader of the Wenxiang Cult, but not only did they defect to the Pseudo-Dynasty, they also sent out twelve groups of missionary envoys to wreak havoc in the Jianghu.

One of those groups was lured to Ten Mile Slope by me.”

As he spoke, Guo Rang unbuttoned his sheepskin coat.

Revealing a wound on his abdomen.

Although it had been stitched up, the original narrow and long shape of the wound was still visible.

Moreover, the wound was clean-cut.

One inch deeper, and he would have been disemboweled.

Japanese saber!

Ding Xie recognized the wound at a glance.

The scars left after he used a Japanese saber to cut down Japanese pirates looked exactly like this.

“I thought that person was just momentarily possessed, but who knew they weren’t from the Divine Land at all, but were Japanese pirates from the island nation. In a moment of inattention, I was hit by an Iaijutsu strike.

Out of necessity, I could only use the reputation of the Wenxiang Cult to buy time.”

At this point, shame and anger appeared on Guo Rang’s face.

Intertwined, a killing intent emerged.

Ding Xie immediately guessed the gist of it.

Meanwhile, Leng Wa curled his lip.

“You were tricked by those cowardly Japanese pirates?

How could you be so foolish to let those cowards trick you?

Listen to me, next time you meet them, strip their pants; the ones wearing loincloths are the Japanese pirates!”

“I stripped them.”

99

Guo Rang said.

Leng Wa was stunned.

Firstly, he didn’t expect Guo Rang to actually strip them.

Secondly, he didn’t expect the Japanese pirates to stop wearing loincloths.

“This group of japanese people is different. They must have infiltrated the Divine Land since childhood. Not only are their expressions and tone the same as ours, but even their customs have changed to those of the Divine Land.

Not only do they not wear fundoshi, but they also no longer wear geta.

It’s simply difficult to tell them apart.

If they hadn’t used Iaijutsu at the end, I wouldn’t have been able to confirm it either.”

Guo Rang explained.

“Then what should we do?”

Leng Wa scratched his head.

Subconsciously, Leng Wa looked at Ding Xie.

Since some unknown time, Leng Wa felt that Ding Xie was omnipotent.

And this time was no exception.

“Lure them out!”

Ding Xie said.

Guo Rang and Leng Wa’s eyes lit up, and Guo Rang even exclaimed.

“So that’s it! So that’s it!

The Japanese pirates are here for the 【nine dragons cup】.

Then we’ll use the 【nine dragons cup】 to lure them out and wipe them all out!

Wait a moment, brother, I’ll go get the Nine Dragons Drink now.”

With that, Guo Rang sprinted toward the Fort.

“Brother, did he misunderstand?”

Leng Wa turned his head and asked.

Unlike Guo Rang.

Leng Wa didn’t think Ding Xie wanted to spread the news of the 【nine dragons cup】 being in his hands just to lure out those Japanese pirates.

His brother’s heart wasn’t that small.

What his brother wanted was to lure out everyone who had greedy thoughts about the 【nine dragons cup】.

There was no evidence.

But that’s what Leng Wa believed.

As for whether doing this would make him an enemy of the whole world?

His brother didn’t care.

“Yeah.”

Ding Xie nodded, agreeing with Leng Wa’s assessment.

Then, he looked at the wounds on Leng Wa’s body.

“It’s nothing.

I used to fight white-haired monkeys for peaches in the Qinling Mountains; I’ve been hurt much worse than this.

I’ll be fine after a sleep.

I even learned how to sleep from that big white snake.”

Leng Wa started yawning as he spoke, his entire body coiling up like a noodle.

By the time Leng Wa opened his eyes again, the sky had already turned dark.

He was lying in the center of the Fort once more.

A bonfire was burning brightly beside him.

Beside the bonfire was Ding Xie.

More Swordsmen wearing sheepskin coats and carrying sabers were moving throughout the Fort, either counting items, moving things, or patrolling the walls.

At a glance, there were at least a hundred people.

“That coward actually has some ability.

He found so many people in such a short time.”

Leng Wa said, performing a kip-up to stand.

The movement was agile, without any stiffness.

The injuries that would have crippled an ordinary person had already scabbed over after just one sleep.

And as Leng Wa rubbed them vigorously, the scabs all fell off, revealing the tender skin underneath.

“I became like this after eating a red fruit before.”

Leng Wa explained to Ding Xie.

He didn’t think there was anything wrong with him.

If he was considered to have a problem?

Then his brother’s problem was even bigger.

Kicking up yellow sand that blotted out the sun.

It was completely like a Great Demon emerging into the world.

Him?

At most, he was a little demon.

Leng Wa thought to himself while looking around; he was searching for Guo Rang.

Then, he saw Guo Rang setting up a platform at a glance.

“Brother, I’m going to take a look.”

Unable to contain his curiosity, Leng Wa muttered a word and headed toward Guo Rang.

Ding Xie didn’t stop him.

There was a sense of wonder in his gaze as he looked at Leng Wa.

“A red fruit?

Cinnabar Fruit?

White-haired monkeys and peaches?

Exotic Flat Peaches?

And learning the white snake’s breathing while sleeping.

As expected, everyone has their own opportunities.

One cannot force them!

If Leng Wa’s experiences were told to other Jianghu people, any one of them would be enough to cause envy, and if all three happened to one person, they would all go crazy.

However, Ding Xie didn’t care.

Because—

His opportunities were more numerous and stronger.

His breathing was long, and he visualized layered clouds.

His mind relaxed, and his whole body felt comfortable.

Ding Xie entered the state of the 【Shenxiao Visualization Method】 with practiced ease.

One breath, two breaths, three breaths…

The longer he visualized, the more relaxed his body and mind became.

Finally, he became completely oblivious to himself.

On the high platform, Guo Rang, who had changed into Daoist robes, felt something and turned his head to look.

Seeing Ding Xie sitting cross-legged in meditation, his face devoid of joy or sorrow, he was startled.

When he meditated, he could also become oblivious to himself.

But not this quickly.

Moreover, he required fasting and bathing.

He simply couldn’t achieve a state like Ding Xie’s, where one moment he was talking to someone and the next he was completely oblivious to himself.

“Which sect’s Daoist Seed is this?”

Guo Rang thought to himself, becoming even more cautious not to be disrespectful.

How can a shallow acquaintance become a deep friendship?

Naturally, by being completely open.

Just like now, with the 【nine dragons cup】 plus the 【nine dragons liquid】, ordinary means could stimulate the full medicinal properties of the 【nine dragons liquid】, allowing one to cleanse their marrow and transform their tendons.

But that wasn’t everything.

The Eight Immortals Temple had unique methods that could make the 【nine dragons liquid】 even stronger.

Ancestral Master above.

Please protect your Disciple.”

After praying in his heart, Guo Rang put on the “Cloud-Ease Heart-Cleansing Robe,” held the “Yin and Yang Combined Sword” in his right hand, and the “Heavenly Square Six-Position Plate” in his left.

The robe protects the heart.

The sword protects the body.

The plate determines the position.

And just as he confirmed the position and placed the 【nine dragons cup】 on the altar.

Whoosh!

The wind picked up.

And a black cloud was blown over by the wind.
