Chapter 106: The Tiger's Luofu

  Be careful!

  It seems that he was indeed affected by Fang Yue's words and was extremely careful all along the way.

  It's not just being careful, but rather overly cautious.

  As a Sword Immortal, a somewhat accomplished Sword Immortal, it's only natural to use the power of flying with his sword when traveling. This way is not only fast but also cool and refreshing.

  However, Kong Zhan obviously did not have the awareness of a Sword Immortal. Although he was also flying with three novice cultivators on his sword, but their speed was much slower.

  How slow is it?

  So slow that even three rookie waiters felt it was too slow.

  They say they are rookies, but only in terms of their cultivation. In fact, all of them are older than Kong Yan, and even the youngest, He Hongxian, is a cultivator in her thirties. Among cultivators, she belongs to the younger generation, but among ordinary people, she is not young at all. At least, her mind is fully mature, not to mention that the other two are over forty years old.

  However, in the cultivation world, those who have achieved success are revered, and this difference of several decades is not too obvious.

  Kong Zhan made a big splash at the Longtai Xianhui Conference, but he himself didn't think much of it. However, in the cultivation world, this was a rare occurrence that happened only once every few thousand years. His strength was evident, and although these three people were slightly older than him, this small age gap didn't amount to much.

  "Kong Dao, we've been walking for three whole days, but we still haven't covered half the distance. Isn't this too slow?!" The speaker was Zheng Wanqiu from Lingyun Cliff. Judging from his appearance, Zheng Wanqiu was a standard orthodox cultivator. On his angular face were written two big words: "firm and resolute". At the same time, he was also the strongest among the three of them.

  He really couldn't stand the sight of that fat guy leisurely flying through the air with his sword, and at this speed, it was unknown when he would arrive at the nameless small town in South Wilderness.

  "It's slow, I think so too!" Kong Zhuo smiled. "However, such things can't be rushed!"

  Zheng Wanqiu's eyebrows furrowed slightly. Looking at that smiling chubby face, "Can't come in a hurry, Kong Daoyou means...!"

  "We're just going to the Nanhuang Ancient Road to check out that Demon Gate's stronghold, and there's no time limit, why the rush?!" Kong Zhuo laughed, "Take this opportunity to clear our minds. Isn't it good?"

  This remark was somewhat unexpected for the three of them, although they knew that Kong Yan had a lazy intention behind it, but they didn't expect him to say it so bluntly.

  All three of them were stunned, and Kong Zhuo looked very helpless.

  "Do you think I'm being lazy?"

  "That goes without saying!" Among the three, Zhou Ziren, who was the most straightforward in temperament, blurted out, but as soon as he spoke, he felt that something was wrong. However, he couldn't take it back and could only look at Kong Zhuo with some embarrassment.

  The atmosphere suddenly froze there.

  "I indeed have the intention of being lazy, but I'm not that kind of person who is lazy just for the sake of being lazy!" Kong Zhuo pressed down on his sword light at this moment and stood in mid-air.

  He now has this sword of immortals which is not his original short sword but another top-grade sword of immortals taken from the Luofu Sect.

  After having an epiphany about the Sword Origin, Kong Zhuo once again submerged his short sword into the Sea of Consciousness to temper it. The Sword Origin had opened another door for his cultivation, a seemingly endless yet alluring door.

  Jiàn Yuán, with infinite strengthening possibilities. According to the Luó Fú Mén Zhòng Jì records, above Jiàn Yuán is Yuán Jiàn. Only after truly cultivating to become Yuán Jiàn can one set foot on the legendary Heavenly God's Path.

  Of course. These are just Lingga Shangren and Li Yuanhua's predictions, but whether or not they come true, being prepared is always good.

  So, Kong Zhuan left the short sword in his primordial spirit to nourish it for a future day when he might be able to comprehend the fundamental principles of his life-protecting sword.

  Now the sword he is using is a top-grade one selected from the warehouse of Luofu, although it can't compare with Huoli and others, but in the entire cultivation world, it can also rank among the top hundred, and it has great market value.

  Three feet long, the sword body shines with dazzling light, and several mysterious and difficult-to-understand symbols are faintly engraved on it. The hilt is milky white, carved with gorgeous patterns, and a pure black sword tassel, the combination of black and white makes this immortal sword particularly eye-catching.

  "I didn't know you guys before, but since we've been assigned to this group and I'm in charge, at the very least, I need to be responsible for your basic safety. I don't want to go on a trip to the Southern Wilderness Ancient Road and come back alone!"

  This remark made Zheng Wanqiu and Zhu Ziren's faces look unattractive.

  What does it mean?

  Don't you look down on us?

  Even if our strength is not as good as yours, after all, we are also the best among the three generations of disciples. In this school and faction, we also have a certain status. It's not that anyone can mock us casually. When Kong Zhuo said that four people went out and only he came back, it was heard by the two of them as thorough contempt.

  He Hongxian's complexion changed slightly, as if he had realized something, and his gaze at Kong Yan also became different from before.

  So, before the two of them could speak up, she preempted, "Kong Daoyou means that there's a problem with this task!" Her voice was soft and sweet, making it very comfortable to listen to.

  "The problem is there, but what the specific problem is I haven't figured out yet!" Kong Zhuang wiped his nose, "Don't laugh at me, I've already been schemed against by Moon Sect once, don't want to be schemed against a second time!"

  The faces of the three people changed at once.

  "Have you calculated it once?"

  Kong Zhan smiled wryly and shook his head, "Let's not mention past things, it's useless to tell you guys anyway. Now I don't believe in the Moon Sect anymore, nor do I believe in that Sun Sect or Star Sect. This time I'm just here with a lazy attitude, you guys have two choices: one is to slack off with me, and the other is to go execute this so-called task on your own. Anyway, I won't be so enthusiastic."

  It ended up like this. The other three people had nothing more to say.

  One can't be shameless to this extent.

  Zheng Wanqiu and Zhou Ziren did not give Kong Zhuo any opportunity to speak, and the two of them looked at each other, nodded secretly, and then looked at He Hongxian. However, from He Hongxian's eyes, they got a negative answer.

  "Since Kong Dao has doubts in his heart, we can't force him. However, as disciples of the sect, we cannot be so lazy. If Kong Dao doesn't object, I'll take Zhou Dao and go ahead to explore the ancient path in Nanhuang first, what do you think?"

  Kong Zan nodded, "It's fine this way, as long as you're all willing!"

  The two of them didn't say much more, and with a slight nod towards Kong Zhuan, they mounted their swords and left. It was quite a decisive and neat departure.

  "Are we just going to let them go?!"

  We

  Two words, sticky and sweet, made Kong Zhuo's heart tremble involuntarily.

  Turning back, she faced He Hongxian's big watery eyes, and her heart couldn't help but flutter.

  What a charming woman!

  "This was just a flash in Kong Zhong's mind, and he smiled, 'Not letting them go, what else can they do? Although I'm responsible in name. But with Tie Xuan's words, let them listen to me. It seems not very reliable either!'"

  "What shall we do?"

  "What else can I do, follow them!" Kong Zan said with a bitter smile. "They don't listen to me, but I have no choice but to take care of them. Otherwise, if something really happens to them, the first rod will still be on my body!"

  "Why let them go then!"

  "I'm not used to forcing others!" Kong Zhuo wiped his nose with a smile, "I want to slack off, they don't want to waste time with me, can I still stop them from leaving?"

  "Then you'll be lazy and can't even steal properly?" He Hongxian's eyes had a hint of amusement as she looked at Kong Zhuo and asked.

  "Alas, my life is bitter!" Kong Zhuo looked at the woman with a helpless expression, and his smile grew thicker as he gazed at her, "And my heart is good too!"

  How are you?

  He Hong's heart secretly laughed, but she didn't say anything else.

  Kong Zuo didn't say another word and instead unfolded his sword light, quietly sneaking in the direction where the two had just disappeared.

  "Don't worry? Hmph, I think you want to use them as bait!" He Hongxian secretly spat in her heart, "Master said that this Kong Zuo is indeed only strong in his own strength, but..." Before she could continue thinking, she heard Kong Zuo's strange and hateful voice in her ear, "I'll go ahead first, you can walk slowly, take a break, by the time we reach the ancient road of Nanhuang, things might have already been settled!"

  "This......!" After hearing this, He Hongxian was also at a loss for words for a moment.

  Kong Zhan didn't go after those two people. In fact, he was now filled with doubts and concerns. Perhaps before this, he still thought that it was because the Three Religions wanted to restore their former glory, plus some kind-hearted people from various sects stirring up trouble, which is why such a messy situation had arisen.

  But now he doesn't think so anymore.

  He Hongfen, this woman seems to have some issues.

  When it comes to her appearance, she can only be described as generally pretty, but behind her appearance, there is a subtle charm that makes most men infatuated.

  Although it was not obvious on the surface, Kong Zhuang had seen through it. This was because she had sincerely suppressed it. Whether she was born with a flirtatious nature or had cultivated some kind of skill to achieve this effect, no one knew. If it was the former, then so be it. But if it was the latter, and she had practiced seduction techniques, then that would be a big problem.

  This is Kong Zhan's first doubt.

  There is also a second doubt, why put He Hongfen and others together with themselves, is there any other intention behind this?

  Even if Kong Zhao were beaten to death, he would not think it was an accident. Now he has figured it out - the three sects, the various major schools, the Demon Gate, and even the small schools of the cultivation world, which one is not turning its own small abacus, which one does not have its own unique intentions? It's better to regard them as fools.

  Otherwise, they would be sold by them and might even have to help them count the money. They couldn't be sold once and then sold again, that would be too humiliating.

  The evening weather is dull and overcast with a thin fog, the air is filled with extremely humid air, and there is a hint of chill.

  In a mountain valley shrouded in thin fog, Kong Zhuang pressed down on the sword light.

  "Haven't you arrived yet?" Kong Zhan looked around, seemingly a bit surprised, but just for an instant. Then, as if he had realized something, he burst out laughing, "Alright, stop hiding, come out! It's probably not more comfortable under that rock than outside!"

  As his voice fell, a thick smoke emerged from under a grey rock not far away from him. After the smoke dispersed, a woman's figure appeared.

  At the sight of the woman's attire, Kong Zhuo smiled.

  The woman is not very tall and not very old either.

  That's why Kong Zhan could tell that she was not very old, not only because of her own cultivation, but also because of the childishness on her face that had not yet dissipated, her big round eyes rolling around on Kong Zhan's body, full of curiosity.

  Her attire was also strangely tight, a pale yellow short skirt that only covered the top third of her thighs, with two white and flower-like legs exposed outside, making it somewhat dazzling. The upper garment seemed to not cover her body at all, but rather resembled a monk's kasaya, only covering half of her body. Her right shoulder and arm were also exposed, and on the upper part of her right arm, there was a dark red strange pattern tattooed.

  This outfit makes her look like a Mo Gate person, but judging from her expression and attitude, she seems more like an inexperienced little girl.

  "Are you Kong Zhuan, the legendary Luofu Tiger?" she asked, her voice crisp and refreshing, making people feel comfortable when they heard it.
