God rewards those who work hard: Awakening Daily Practice Settlement

"Where's the eldest grandson?"

"He almost died, but his condition is not very good now..."

Hearing the old man's question, the young man said angrily, "If I hadn't used the Life-Chasing Needle to freeze his soul, he would have been a corpse by now."

The old man raised his eyebrows: "Even you couldn't save him?"

The young man was immediately annoyed when he heard this: "This is the best I can do. Otherwise, do you think you can still see your eldest grandson?"

The old man looked thoughtful: "This matter has indeed brought about variables that we have not grasped. So Leng Huang has really made a breakthrough?"

"Nonsense, she is already in the Golden Core Realm, otherwise why do you think I only brought back my eldest grandson."

"It seems that I still underestimated her phoenix spirit."

"Old man, who is this woman? Why are the higher-ups so interested in her?"

The old man glanced over and said: "If you don't want to die, don't ask around. You and I are just doing things for others."

The young man shrugged and said indifferently, "Alright, just pretend I didn't ask, but what should we do next? That woman is now inciting the entire Wanxiang Palace to target us. If we are not careful, there will be a river of blood again."

The old man looked calm and said, "Don't worry about what happens next."

"do not care?"

The young man was startled.

Obviously, I didn't expect to get such an answer.

"Are you sure you're not mistaken?"

This is not in line with the old man's usual style of revenge.

The old man looked at him and said calmly, "What the higher-ups mean."

"Another attempt by the higher-ups? What exactly do the higher-ups mean? Can't you just turn your back on them? If you feel so aggrieved...what kind of cultivator are you still?"

"Be careful what you say."

"Come on, I'm going to retreat now. Don't come to me for this kind of nonsense next time."

The young man patted his butt and left.

The old man smiled helplessly, there was nothing he could do about him.

……

Xuanshan Gate.

I chatted with Senior Brother Ma in the restaurant and asked about some news in the hospital.

Although Senior Brother Ma is not in the inner courtyard, he is still able to easily grasp the dynamics of some of the Xuanshan Sect’s top leaders because he works in the Mission Hall.

"The number of missions targeting the thirteen southern countries has obviously increased a lot. There is a rebellion over there, and people are in a panic now... Most of our Xuanshanmen's arrangements over there have been destroyed... I also heard that someone is behind this and fanning the flames."

Pei Daoye looked over and said, "Xuan Yin Sect?"

Senior Brother Ma shook his head, lowered his voice, and mouthed the words.

Pei Daoye's expression changed slightly: "Really?"

Senior Brother Ma shook his head and said with a wry smile, "I don't have any evidence for something as serious as this... Didn't the Immortal Alliance come over these past two days? I checked their movements and they also appeared in the thirteen southern countries... And they've always been stirring up trouble everywhere, so they must be involved."

"What exactly do these guys want to do? If they want resources, would they do this?"

Pei Daoye frowned.

Senior Brother Ma sighed softly, "For giants like them, the best way to obtain resources is to plunder... Besides, only when the land of Central Continent is in chaos can the strength of their Immortal Alliance be reflected..."

Pei Daoye took note of it secretly and went back to Wanxiang Palace to investigate the intentions of this group of immortal alliances.

The confrontation between Xuanshan Sect and Xuanyin Sect would cause these disciples who have not even reached the Jindan stage to suffer.

If we add another Immortal Alliance...

God knows how many hidden arrows he will have to endure.

suddenly.

Pei Daoye seemed to have sensed something, his gaze remained unchanged, he put down the teacup and said, "Brother, I'll go get two more dishes."

"Ah? No need, this dish is enough to eat."

Senior Brother Ma wanted to stop him, but when he noticed the look Pei Daoye gave him, his whole body froze in place, and a chill suddenly rose in his heart.

"Junior brother, this..."

"I'll be back when I add two more dishes."

Pei Daoye spoke in a relaxed tone, motioning him to relax, then stood up and left.

After he closed the door.

Senior Brother Ma became nervous. There was a sword talisman left by Pei Daoye on the table. He put his hand over it with a nervous look on his face.

……

Pei Daoye left the restaurant and secretly felt the malice directed at him... Although this malice was looming, the power of the sixth time of spiritual refining was able to capture this faint malice with incomparable accuracy.

He was curious.

At the foot of Xuanshan Gate... who is targeting me again?

He couldn't even count on his fingers how many of his mortal enemies he had in Xuanshan Sect...

It is hard to find a high-quality young man like him who has a good reputation outside... So, who wants to kill him?

This is too resentful!

I deliberately left the restaurant and went to the long street opposite and strolled for a while.

The other party actually concealed his breath very carefully.

"interesting."

This kind of experienced killer inevitably reminded him of the old bird in Wanxiang Palace...

However, since Leng Huang said that the only people who knew his identity were her and Shangguan Xiangling, there would naturally be no risk of exposure.

In addition, if someone from the outside world wanted to assassinate him in Wanxiang Palace, Leng Huang would definitely notify him as soon as possible.

At the corner, Pei Daoye's breath also disappeared.

The long street is bustling with people coming and going.

In front of the tea stall, the old man peeled a few peanuts and put them into his mouth. Suddenly, he paused and looked towards the corner with some suspicion.

"interesting."

He went all the way and finally found Pei Daoye's whereabouts.

Out of caution.

He didn't take action immediately.

Instead, I plan to look for a more appropriate time.

Just as he had discussed with the young master at the beginning... This is at the foot of Xuanshan Gate. If we are not careful, there will be no recovery.

Just when I was pondering.

Someone came up behind him, sat down, and called the waiter: "Bring me a pot of tea."

The old man didn't notice anything wrong at first, until he looked back for some reason, and the young man grinned at him: "Is this your first time in Tianxiang City?"

"Hmm? Yes." The old man smiled naively: "Young man, are you a local?"

The young man shook his head and said with a smile: "I am not here for an outing."

"Outing?"

"Yeah, isn't this place near the Immortal Gate? I want to try my luck."

"Xianmen is good."

"Yes. Did the old man also come to Xianmen to try his luck?"

"I?"

The old man shook his head: "I am old, and sometimes my memory is not good. I... am here to look for my relatives."

"Who are you looking for? Do you need any help?"

"An old friend."

"The tea is good." The young man put down the teacup, "What do you think, old man?"

“I don’t know how to taste tea.”

"Old man, you are really good at joking. Is it a Gu that you put in the tea you gave me? Do you know a lot about Gu?"

As the young man spoke.

The old man's expression changed instantly. His originally honest and kind appearance was instantly replaced by coldness. With a cold snort, a sinister and terrifying aura suddenly burst out from him.

In an instant, something seemed to come out of the shadows and attack the young man as fast as lightning.

"rub!"

The blazing sword light cut through the shadow in just tens of millions of breaths, and the poisonous creature, like a black snake, fell to the ground and twisted in a pool of blood.

The old man failed in his attack and quickly retreated.

It seemed that he had no intention of getting entangled with the young man opposite.

"Why are you leaving? Didn't you come here just to kill me? Then..."

"Get started." After Pei Daoye said the last three words, the energy and blood in his body surged.

Almost at the same time.

He had already drawn his sword.

"This kind of sword intent...you are such a little monster!"

The old man felt the terrifying sword intent that suddenly locked onto Pei Daoye, and his expression suddenly became extremely solemn.

At first, he thought that the other party who killed Lu Haotian must not have very high cultivation level.

But now it seems...

I underestimated the enemy.

But I was also annoyed.

This time when he came, he didn't plan to take action right away, but wanted to secretly investigate Pei Daoye's background first.

Kill if you can beat him.

If you can't kill him, run away.

Firstly, he didn't want to take any risks.

Secondly... after all, this is at the foot of Xuanshan Gate. If we are not careful, we will end up in eternal damnation.

However, the sword intent displayed by Pei Daoye obviously surprised him.

In an instant, the two of them had already rushed dozens of meters away on the long street. Many people dodged in panic. People farther away noticed this scene and looked over. It was a rare sight to see such a scene.

exactly.

Pei Daoye did not use his trump card to avoid being seen by others.

Both swords missed.

However, the old man was so shocked that his palms became numb and he secretly groaned. He took out the horn and blew it hard.

From Pei Daoye's perspective, the void around the old man was shrouded in countless black mists, and there seemed to be countless wronged souls making a fuss in the black mist.

"Where did this evil cultivator come from? How dare he cause trouble at the foot of my Xuanshan Gate!" A sudden shout came from the distance.

A figure rushed over.

The man was wearing the clothes of the inner courtyard of Xuanshan Sect. He quickly made a hand gesture and immediately talismanic light surrounded and bombarded him.

The black fog vibrated.

Almost broken by the pressure.

Pei Daoye's sword also stabbed forward at this time, but it missed.

"You bastard, tell me your name if you dare, and I'll smash your cave!" The talisman cultivator was so angry that his teeth were itching.

Looking back: "Junior brother, are you okay?"

Pei Daoye's face did not change much. He bowed and clasped his hands towards the man: "Thank you, senior brother, for your help."

"Who is that person? Why does he practice such an evil method..." The young man fell into thought.

Pei Daoye said frankly: "To be honest with you, Senior Brother, I don't know who this person is..."

He gestured to the tea shop next to him: "We just said a few words while drinking tea, but I never thought that this person would actually take action..."

"Zuo Dao cultivator is indeed moody." The man said with a smile, "I don't know how to address you, Junior Brother?"

"Pei Daoye."

"Pei Daoye?! Junior Brother Pei!" The man exclaimed in surprise.

Pei Daoye said calmly: "Brother, what do you mean?"

The man smiled cheerfully: "I have heard of your name for a long time, and now I see that you are indeed a handsome man. Zhao Heyi, the master of Taiyi Peak."

"It turns out to be Senior Brother Zhao."

Pei Daoye bowed politely.

This Zhao Heyi wanted to get to know him, but that made things difficult for Pei Daoye, as he wanted to find out why the other party was targeting him.

He was also worried that the old man was involved with the Wanxiang Palace, so he didn't dare to reveal that the other party was specifically hunting him down...

The confusion made people think that Pei Daoye and the old evil cultivator had a fight over a disagreement.

When Pei Daoye brought Zhao Heyi back to the restaurant, Senior Brother Ma looked worried, but he also saw Zhao Heyi... especially the inner court clothes he was wearing, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

"Who is this, A Pei?"

"This is Senior Brother Zhao." Pei Daoye introduced.

"Well... Junior Brother Pei, I suddenly remembered something and have to leave first. I'll host you another day."

Zhao Heyi didn't seem to expect that Pei Daoye didn't come out alone, and was having dinner with an outer courtyard disciple, so he left decisively.

Senior Brother Ma was stunned: "What's going on with Ah Pei?"

"It's okay, just let him be."

Pei Daoye said casually, not taking Zhao Heyi to heart.

"Have you found that person?" Senior Brother Ma asked in a low voice.

"Escaped." Pei Daoye ate his food slowly.

"Escape?"

Senior Brother Ma was startled and stood up quickly: "Should we report this to the mountain gate?"

Pei Daoye smiled and comforted him, beckoning him to sit down: "It's okay, he's just a petty thief who wanted to steal something."

Little thief?
Senior Brother Ma doesn't believe such talk.

After all, he knew how strong his junior brother Pei was.

The fact that he was able to escape from his hands shows his strength.

However, seeing that Pei Daoye didn't care, he was a little surprised and doubtful. Perhaps he was really thinking too much.

The meal was originally a happy one, but things started to become a little unsatisfactory because of what happened next.

"A Pei, how about we go back?"

"Brother, don't you want to eat something?"

"I am full."

Senior Brother Ma burped and patted his belly: "If this continues, I will really become a fat man."

Pei Daoye sneered and did not tell Senior Brother Ma the truth.

more importantly.

He had already locked onto the aura of the evil old cultivator. This old man was truly skilled and courageous. He did not leave, but escaped from Tianxiang City. After seeing that there was no movement from Xuanshan Gate, he sneaked back.

So he deliberately said goodbye to Senior Brother Ma on the pretext that he had a mission in the Censorate, and then turned around and left under the cover of night.

……

"...Hurry up and obey the command..."

The old man sat in the room, chanting incantations silently.

Quickly, a few strands of red silk began to flutter in the air...

"This boy's swordsmanship is even more powerful than I thought... I must pin down his soul and extract its essence. Let's see how he can still show off in front of an old Taoist like me!"

The old man quickly grabbed it from the air again.

The situation of Xuanshan Gate appeared in front of him...

The brief battle in Tianxiang City did not attract the attention of Xuanshan Sect.

This also made him feel a little relieved.

The night is calm.

The old man suddenly became suspicious. When he fought, he left his aura on Pei Daoye, but what puzzled him was...

How come I can't feel anything at all now?

"and many more?"

He suddenly reacted.

It's not that he couldn't sense it, but the distance was too close, and he subconsciously ignored this tiny energy.

So that means...

"boom!"

"Boom!"

In an instant, it was as if the earth was shaking.

The house where the old man was hiding seemed to have been bombed by a huge force. With a deafening roar and a billowing smoke, a figure rushed over with a fierce murderous intent.

The boundless sword intent was even more ferocious than what was evolving on the long street of Tianxiang City.

"It's you!!!"

The old man was so shocked that he lost his voice! (End of this chapter)
