Chapter 26: The Mountain Patrol Incident (Three)

  Qin Chuan lowered his head and looked at Shi Ping kneeling at his feet, a playful smile floating on his face: "Do you want to return to the sect?"

  Shi Ping saw Qin Chuan smile and thought he was happy, without noticing the other meaning in his smile. He hastily said: "Yes, Master, previously leaving the sect was my fault for being too impulsive, now I'm quite regretful. However, I know that the Yuhua Sect is currently facing a great enemy and it's time to use people. If Master can put aside past grudges, Shi Ping will definitely help Master share worries and difficulties!"

  At that critical moment, he sowed discord and caused the disciples to scatter. I, as the leader, was left almost alone. Now, with just a simple sentence "acting rashly", he wants to eliminate past grievances and return to the sect as if nothing had happened? It's really too ridiculous!

  Qin Chuang thought to himself while scrutinizing Shi Ping's self-righteous face, his disgust reaching its peak: "Shi Ping, you're not wrong, the sect is indeed in a state of using people. But even if we're short-handed, the current leader would never use someone like you who deceives their master and ancestors, and has no emotions or righteousness!"

  Shi Ping thought everything was settled, but suddenly it took a sharp turn, and he was shocked and stunned. He hastily said: "Master, Shi Ping did indeed offend you before, but that was just to spite you. What's this nonsense about deceiving the master and being ruthless and unrighteous?"

  After saying this, Shi Ping's voice turned low and he continued: "As the leader of a sect, shouldn't the master put aside personal grudges and think about the overall situation of the sect?"

  Qin Chuan sneered and said, "Shi Ping, you don't need to use your seniority to suppress me in front of the other disciples. Chen Shidi was also present at that time, and your actions will be judged by others! I'm asking you, when Master passed away and appointed me as his successor, ordering all disciples to pay their respects, you ignored Master's orders and pretended not to hear. Is this not deceiving Master? With the great enemy of our sect before us, you harbored private grudges and incited the other disciples to leave the sect, without considering the legacy of our sect for hundreds of years. Is this not betraying our ancestors? When I sent someone from our sect to contact Wang Yuanwai in Green Willow Town to recruit new disciples, which is a major matter concerning the development of our sect, you not only didn't help but also sabotaged it, causing our people to get hurt. Is this not heartless and unrighteous?"

  These words, Qin Chuan's facts are clear and logical, every word is powerful and sonorous. Shi Ping listened to it, speechless, unable to refute at all.

  "Nothing to say? Humph! Shi Ping, listen up, if the sect leader really liked to calculate personal grudges and favors, he could have killed you in Lvy Town and wouldn't have left you alive until now!"

  Shi Ping couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, and said in a low voice: "Master... Master, Shi Ping knows he was wrong. Can you please give me another chance?"

  Qin Chuan said resolutely: "Absolutely impossible!"

  Pausing for a moment, Qin Chuan continued: "Shi Ping, you just mentioned the overall situation of the sect. Let me make it clear to you that as the leader of the sect, I absolutely cannot allow someone like you to return to the sect! Otherwise, what would happen to the authority and prestige of our sect's rules? What would be the point of having them? If all the disciples were to follow your example and deceive their masters, destroy their ancestors, and act recklessly, how could our Yu Hua Sect stand in the cultivation world?"

  After being scolded by Qin Chuan, Shi Ping's face turned red and white several times. He still didn't give up, holding onto his last bit of hope, saying: "But Master, in an emergency, one must take drastic measures. Except for you, the others in the Feather Transformation Sect are all weak, if Song Yang comes to attack the mountain in the future, they won't be able to help you!"

  Qin Chuan sneered and laughed: "Shi Ping, you really should change your habit of being self-righteous. I've said it before, if you dare to take on the position of sect leader, you must have enough confidence to continue the legacy of Yu Hua Men. There's no need to rely on a despicable person like you who deceives his master and destroys his ancestors! And do you always think you're so great, so extraordinary? Today I'll let you open your eyes again!"

  Having said this, Qin Chuan shouted loudly: "Brother Chen!"

  "Yes! I'm in charge!" Chen Hao replied loudly.

  "You go and exchange blows with Shi Ping, let him witness the power of our Yu Hua Men!"

  "Roger!"

  Chen Hao's voice fell, and he took a step forward, making a gesture to Shi Ping, saying: "Mr. Shi, please instruct me!" But he no longer addressed him as Senior Brother.

  "Let me fight him?" Shi Ping glanced at Chen Hao with a sidelong glance, not taking him seriously.

  Qin Chuan said coldly: "If you can beat him, I'll allow you to return to the sect!"

  "Good! Let me see if Junior Brother Chen has also obtained the divine medicine to boost his strength!" The divine medicine is not something that can be found everywhere like peanuts. Qin Chuan was able to obtain one, and his strength increased, which was already an unprecedented opportunity. Shi Ping did not believe that Chen Hao's strength could also be boosted in the same way.

  At most, Qin Chu would only pass on the mysterious technique he had just obtained to Chen Hao for cultivation. However, with Chen Hao's dull and stupid appearance, it was impossible for him to make much progress in such a short period of time.

  Kneeling at Qin Chuan's feet and being scolded for so long, Shi Ping had also been holding in a belly full of fire. It was just right to use Chen Hao to vent his frustrations. When the time came and Chen Hao was defeated, let's see what Qin Chuan would have to say!

  Shi Ping was calculating in his heart while opening up his stance. This stance was extremely familiar to both Qin Chuan and Chen Hao, it was the starting pose of the "Feather Transformation Ascension Technique".

  At this time, Chen Hao was no longer using the method of "Feather Transformation and Ascension", his arms dancing, fingers pinched into claws, in a tiger-like posture.

  The characteristics of the tiger shape are fierce and overbearing, full of aggression. Chen Hao displayed the tiger shape skill, and instantly immersed himself in this state, letting out a loud roar, first launching an attack on Shi Ping.

  Chen Hao made a move, striking with great force. However, Shi Ping was not intimidated at all. He thought that with Chen Hao's mere Qi Refining stage one cultivation, no matter how powerful his moves were, they were still superficial and lacking in substance. As long as he used 50% of his strength, he could easily defeat him.

  However, in order to regain face in front of Qin Chuan, Shi Ping used 80% of his strength and punched out, wanting to have a hard confrontation with Chen Hao.

  With a loud "bang", Shi Ping's punch landed squarely on Chen Hao's incoming fist, and instantly felt like hitting a hard mountain rock. Not only was his knuckle in severe pain, but his entire arm was almost numb.

  He was shocked and couldn't understand how Chen Hao's strength had become so great!

  Unfortunately, he no longer had the chance to think carefully.

  Once the Tiger Form technique gains the upper hand, the follow-up moves come pouring in like a mighty river.

  Chen Hao's current cultivation is at the second layer of Qi Refining, on par with Shi Ping. However, his technique is more refined than Shi Ping's and he has the advantage of making the first move, thoroughly suppressing Shi Ping in terms of momentum. The more they fight, the smoother it becomes, fully displaying the majestic and powerful form of a tiger.

  Shi Ping only felt that Chen Hao's moves were getting fiercer and fiercer, and as soon as their bodies touched, he immediately felt a sharp pain to the bone. He couldn't dodge, and he didn't dare to block, it was really suffocating to the extreme.

  Under this completely suppressed situation, Shi Ping quickly collapsed. He was hit by Chen Hao's two heavy hands and stumbled, rolling down the mountain road for a long distance before barely stopping at a bend. Lying on the stone road, he gasped desperately like a dying dog.

  "How...how is this possible!" Even after being beaten like this, Shi Ping still couldn't believe that he had been defeated by Chen Hao's hands!

  In Shi Ping's eyes, Chen Hao used to be just a stupid and clumsy fatso. Such a person could actually become an expert in Qin Chuan's hands!

  Qin Chuan, Qin Chuan... Could it be that you're actually a fairy who can turn trash into treasure and make stones into gold?!

  Qin Chuan naturally disdained to respond to Shi Ping's words.

  He stood at the end of the mountain road, looking down at Shi Ping with a cold tone and said: "Shi Ping, I hope today's lesson can make you more sober. For the sake of your master, I'll spare you this once, immediately roll out of the range of Feiyu Mountain. Also, don't forget what the sect leader said in Lvy Town, wherever the name of Yuhua Gate reaches, you must retreat a hundred miles away. If you dare to approach again, today's outcome will be your future!"
