Chapter 63 Return to the Mountain

  In the sky, white snow is floating.

  Once again back in Luoyang, snow had filled the mountains.

  Walked past the corridor in front of the mountain gate, smiled at the two inner disciples guarding the mountain gate, and strolled up the mountain.

  Luofu didn't seem to have changed much, and from the disciples they met on the road, Kong Zhuo also didn't sense any tense or uneasy atmosphere. Moreover, along the way, he hadn't heard any rumors about anything big happening in Luofu. It seemed that this matter was either unresolved or had been secretly resolved.

  The second possibility is more likely, and after going up the mountain, he got another piece of information that solidified his thoughts.

  Lin Yufeng is now in the Back Mountain's Reflection Cliff for offending the sect rules by trying to secretly release Zhou Xue who was sealed at Locking Heaven Peak.

  I'm letting Zhou Xue go, and I'm also letting his mother's stinky fart go. This Lin Yufeng is indeed a core disciple of the inner sect, but he can't even touch the road to Lianhua Peak, let alone have an affair with Zhou Xue. The truth has been covered up, and Lin Yufeng is the one who has been wronged.

  If it weren't for your own cleverness, you would be the one standing on the precipice of disaster right now.

  What the truth is, is no longer important. What's important is that Kong Zhuan now understands his own identity, status and situation. No matter how strong or excellent he is, he is just a third-generation disciple after all. In matters of great importance to the sect's prosperity, it's still far from his turn to take charge. He doesn't have the power to take charge, nor does he have the qualifications. In these big things, the role he plays will always be that of a pawn. If he doesn't want to be a pawn, then he should be more clever and occasionally pretend to be foolish.

  That's all.

  "You're back?!"

  There was no need to turn around, Kong Yan already knew it was Chang Yue who had arrived.

  "Master brother, long time no see!"

  "It's not long, just a few months!" Chang Yue shook off the snowflakes on her shoulders, "How about it, was this trip worthwhile?!"

  "It seems there's some harvest!" Kong Zhan looked at Chang Yue with a hint of a smile, then glanced at the footprints behind him, "How is it? Just came down from Si Gu Cliff?"

  Nodding her head, she let out a soft sigh and said, "Yes, go take a look at Lin Shidi!"

  "How is he? Is he all right?"

  "It's just that there's nothing much wrong with me physically, but mentally I'm not feeling too great!"

  "Maybe he's had it too easy before, so tasting some bitterness might not be a bad thing." Kong Zhuo said with a smile.

  "Look at how you're speaking, I thought you were an old veteran who had lived for hundreds of years!" Chang Yue laughed and said, "However, this time, it's really unjust to him!"

  "This point, I'm not worried about it, Master Zhang and Master Li will naturally compensate him later!" Kong Zuo said, "What I'm concerned about now is that at the Xian Xing Hui, apart from you and me, who else is there?"

  "You don't know!" Chang Yue said.

  "Are there still people I don't know among the third-generation disciples?" Kong Zhuo was somewhat incredulous. Luo Fu had tens of thousands of third-generation disciples, and he didn't dare say that he knew every single one of them, but as for those who were qualified to attend the Xianxu Conference, Kong Zhuo couldn't believe that there were people he didn't know.

  "It's the disciple of Fifth Master!" Chang Yue said.

  "Uncle Wu?" Kong Zhan's mind flashed with the image of Yue Hua Jian Wei Qingqing, that cold and elegant figure, and he said somewhat unexpectedly, "It seems Uncle Wu doesn't have any outstanding disciples!"

  "So you don't know, huh!" Chang Yue laughed and walked to Kong Zhuan's front, "Even the respected Master didn't expect that Fifth Uncle would hide a legitimate disciple, whose cultivation is probably not below ours!"

  "Really?!" Kong Zhan raised an eyebrow, smiled slightly, and didn't say another word. In his heart, he thought, "It's possible that she's not inferior to you, but as for me, my innate purple energy has already reached the eighth layer, and it's about to reach the ninth layer, I'm cultivating the extraordinary meridians... If she surpasses me, wouldn't that make her a freak!"

  "Come on, Master asked me to bring you to him as soon as I see you. By now, Wei Shifu and Qi Shimiao should have arrived too!"

  "Qī Shī's younger sister, Wei Shī's uncle's disciple?!"

  "Right!" Chang Yue smiled and said, "Let's go!"

  They walked in silence until they reached the Haoyuan Peak and entered the Zhengyuan Hall.

  As expected, Luo Fu took the lead with Ling Jia Shang Ren, followed by the second-in-command Xiu Luo Jian Li Yuan Hua, then there was Fu Yun Jian Zhou Qing, Qing Ping Jian Bo Zhen, Yue Hua Jian Wei Qing Qing, not a single one of Luo Fu's Five Swords was missing.

  These five were seated, while the twenty or so disciples standing around them included all of the old and new inner core disciples, except for a purple-robed female disciple named Kong Zhan who was standing beside Wei Qingqing whom he did not recognize.

  His old rival, Yu Xuán Jī, was also among them.

  "It's been a while since we last met, and this kid's cultivation has actually increased!" Kong Zhuan's heart slightly stirred. Originally, his cultivation on the Xiantian Purple Qi was only at the second level, but now it had reached the third level, with hints of breaking through to the fourth level. Among the three generations of disciples, he could be considered one of the best. It seemed that during this period, he hadn't been idle after all.

  He's weird, but Lingga is even weirder than him.

  In fact, Ling Ga Shangren and Li Yuanhua almost jumped up from their seats when they first saw Kong Zhuo.

  What's going on?

  Is this possible?

  How could this kid's innate purple energy have jumped from the seventh layer to the peak of the eighth layer in just a few months? It seems like he's about to break through the constraints of the twelve meridians and enter the ninth layer, which is simply unthinkable.

  So they looked at each other and saw the same shock in each other's eyes, which also confirmed from another aspect that they were indeed not mistaken.

  The other three people among the five swordsmen of Luo Fu also felt that something was off. The strength of these three people was slightly inferior to that of the first two, and they couldn't see Kong Zhuo's exact strength clearly, but they could sense the completely different aura emanating from Kong Zhuo compared to the other disciples in the hall.

  However, Ling Ga and Li Yuanhua exchanged a glance, swapped eye colors, and then their faces returned to calm.

  "Kong Zhuo, when did you come back!"

  "Disciple just returned to the mountain and was brought over by Big Brother!" Kong Zhuo said.

  "Hmm, the reason for summoning you back to the mountain this time, your Master Yuan has already told you, right?"

  "Disciple knows!" Kong Zan nodded.

  "Ah, good to know! Ling Ga Shang Ren swept a glance at the people in the hall. "Today, we have summoned the strongest 26 disciples of our three generations to this Zheng Xuan Hall, and the purpose is to discuss with everyone about the Dragon Platform Immortal Apricot Conference. The participants for this Three Generations Competition have already been decided, namely Chang Yue, Kong Zhuo, and Qi Xuan. Chang Yue and Kong Zhuo, you are all familiar with them. Qi Xuan is the direct disciple of your Fifth Shifu, who has always been cultivating in seclusion on the mountain. You have never met him before, so it's a good opportunity to get acquainted today!"
