Chapter 571: Inviting the Guest into the Jar
...
"Taoist Nun Qingci is Master Yuyao?"
Zhang ngchu's eyes bulged wide open.
"Ancestor, you're not joking with , are you!"
"Do I look like I'm joking with you?" Chen Huaian rolled his eyes and snorted coldly: "I recognized Taoist Nun Qingci's true identity long ago. The reason I specifically invited her here alone is precisely to deal with her!"
Zhang ngchu forced a bitter smile onto his face.
"Ancestor, then you handle her properly. This junior suddenly feels an urgent need to relieve himself. I'll go take care of this first..."
As Zhang ngchu finished speaking and tried to leave,
Chen Huaian's indifferent voice sounded behind him: "Co back!"
Zhang ngchu turned around with a pained expression, saying helplessly: "Ancestor, I truly cannot handle Master Yuyao. What's my cultivation level? What's her cultivation level?
And it's not like you don't know—she practically hates to death. Putting together with her—isn't that asking for my life?"
"My arrangent ans I have confidence in the outco."
Chen Huaian remained unmoved.
This matter absolutely had to be handled by Zhang ngchu—no one else would do!
The reason was simple.
Zhang ngchu had taken Master Yuyao's first blood.
The two had indeed been intimately involved after all. If they really fought, Master Yuyao would certainly recall mories—regardless of whether rembering the past brought her embarrassnt or hatred.
But as long as Master Yuyao recalled those mories, she would rember certain details.
Then, stimulated by the Ninefold Spring, desire would naturally arise.
If soone else ca, this effect wouldn't occur.
As for what to do if Zhang ngchu couldn't defeat Master Yuyao?
Chen Huaian had already devised a solution.
"You'll be in this room when the ti cos." Chen Huaian led Zhang ngchu into a small chamber that opened onto the courtyard, speaking solemnly: "I will guide her to drink the pre-battle cola. After she drinks it, I will leave imdiately. You must enter this room at once without the slightest hesitation, otherwise death is certain!"
Hearing the ancestor speak like this made Zhang ngchu's heart tremble violently.
It seed today they were really playing with their lives...
"I will set up an additional layer of formations around this room. Master Yuyao won't be able to break through for a while. You only need to wait until certain... conditions appear on Master Yuyao's body."
"Wh-what conditions?"
"You'll know when the ti cos." Chen Huaian patted Zhang ngchu's shoulder, comforting him: "Old Zhang, I've always considered you talented. Only you can accomplish today's task. Your responsibility is imnse, concerning the entire sect's safety. But I believe you definitely won't fail!"
These words...
Made Zhang ngchu feel even more apprehensive.
What exactly did the ancestor want him to do?
Surely not to fight Master Yuyao again?
The key point was—he truly couldn't win!
Even back at Jade Pool Holy Land that ti, he had been the one getting beaten up.
"Alright, I'm setting up the formations now!"
Chen Huaian opened the Electronic Girlfriend store.
Click-click—he made a series of purchases.
Then, under Zhang ngchu's bewildered gaze, he layered formation after formation over the small room.
But in Zhang ngchu's eyes,
The ancestor simply pointed his hand toward the spot without doing anything.
In the next second, complete formations appeared.
What kind of divine ability was this?
He had never seen formations deployed in this manner before.
Indeed, the ancestor was truly the ancestor.
While others needed hours, even days or months to set up formations, the ancestor only needed to point casually... Incredibly powerful!
Zhang ngchu instantly stopped worrying.
With such a powerful ancestor, he wouldn't even know how to die.
Chen Huaian didn't realize that his formation-deploying actions had inadvertently given Zhang ngchu reassurance. He only noticed that after setting up the formations, Zhang ngchu had beco completely emotionally stable.
"Alright, these formations can't completely withstand Master Yuyao—after all, she's ultimately at the Great Ascension Three Tribulations realm. But I'm confident these formations can buy you enough ti."
Zhang ngchu nodded like a pecking chicken: "This junior will follow the ancestor's arrangents completely."
"Excellent. Then I'll bring Master Yuyao in now. Rember—don't reveal yourself before Master Yuyao drinks the cola!"
Zhang ngchu nodded again, guaranteeing he absolutely wouldn't expose himself.
Seeing Zhang ngchu so obedient put Chen Huaian's mind half at ease.
He then went out to find Master Yuyao.
...
"I've finished setting up. The formations will suppress spiritual sense and cultivation—this is to equalize your cultivation with Zhang ngchu's, so you can't say my Moon Shadow Sect is bullying the weak with strength."
Master Yuyao looked at Chen Huaian with disdain in her heart.
What garbage formations—she could break them with a casual gesture.
And did she need Zhang ngchu to suppress his cultivation?
Just as she was about to say suppressing Zhang ngchu's cultivation wasn't necessary, Chen Huaian continued: "For fairness, your duel with Zhang ngchu will be projected to the main sect hall for all cultivators to watch. So don't think about cheating or using forbidden techniques—we'll all be watching. If you use any forbidden techniques or divine abilities, Zhang ngchu won't continue suppressing his cultivation either. Rember this well!"
Master Yuyao almost laughed hearing this.
She looked at Chen Huaian with eyes that said he was an idiot.
"Fine, then I'll trouble Chen Sword Master greatly."
Chen Huaian chuckled. "Follow ."
...
Master Yuyao followed Chen Huaian into the bamboo sea.
She originally thought this bamboo sea would be Zhang ngchu's burial ground.
Unexpectedly, the scene suddenly shifted before her eyes, revealing a small courtyard.
This sudden change made Master Yuyao secretly alard inwardly.
Illusion formation!
There was actually an illusion formation within the bamboo sea!
But she hadn't detected any aura of an illusion formation at all!
Master Yuyao grew cautious, wondering inwardly: Wasn't Chen Huaian a sword cultivator? Could he also have considerable attainnt in formation techniques?
If sword cultivators had the strongest killing power,
Then formation masters were the most mysterious type of existence.
Given enough ti and materials, the destruction they could cause far surpassed that of sword cultivators.
Entering the courtyard, Master Yuyao imdiately detected multiple restrictions, with her spiritual sense suppressed to around the Void Fusion Realm.
"You'll conduct your martial contest within this courtyard!"
Chen Huaian turned to look at Master Yuyao.
"This place seems sowhat small..." Master Yuyao looked at the smile on Chen Huaian's face, feeling inexplicably nervous.
"Though small, everything here instantly restores after being destroyed. So fight as you wish—fight however you want. Fight until heaven and earth darken, fight until the great dao collapses, fight until you forget the aning of heaven and earth—no one will stop you!"
Chen Huaian shook his head, his words carrying hidden aning.
Unfortunately, Master Yuyao was still observing the surrounding restrictions and completely missed Chen Huaian's peculiar tone.
"Zhang ngchu, you co out too."
Zhang ngchu erged from the small room, glanced at Master Yuyao with complex emotions, then averted his gaze.
Chen Huaian seated Zhang ngchu and Master Yuyao before the Go board, speaking solemnly:
"My Moon Shadow Sect has rules for contests: first drink martial wine, stop at the appropriate point, no deliberate killing!"
"Chen Sword Master, what's in this cup isn't spirit wine, is it?"
Master Yuyao narrowed her eyes at the bubbling black liquid in the cup.
"Indeed it isn't spirit wine." Chen Huaian admitted freely: "This is a specialty unique to our Moon Shadow Sect—cola. When cola was distributed previously, you were the only one who didn't receive any. I thought you didn't like it, but then I saw you gazing longingly at other cultivators who had cola, so I replaced the spirit wine with cola..."
He paused, then said deliberately: "If you're unwilling, I can change it back to spirit wine for you."
