127.The Fiery Monk!

Watching Xu Shan put the two treasures away, the Purple Crane True Man felt his heart aching. These were his family assets, and they were already half of the assets he had accumulated in his four hundred years of roaming around. In order to successfully cultivate Xu Xian, he was really going all out. Success or failure depended on this!

"Xu Xian, I'll give you three years. You must break through from the Foundation Establishment stage to the Core Formation stage within three years. Otherwise, I'm afraid you won't be able to continue learning the subsequent cultivation techniques of the Spotless Mysterious Book. After all, this is a Heaven - Rank cultivation technique, which has extremely high requirements for talent."

"Three years... Master, it's not that I'm afraid of the challenge, but three years is a bit too short."

"Then how many years do you think is appropriate?"

"About ten years. With Master's full support, I'm sure I can reach the Core Formation stage within ten to twenty years!"

The Purple Crane True Man secretly clenched his fists and tried his best to suppress the urge to kill Xu Xian on the spot. More than ten years... He had provided so many precious cultivation resources. Even a pig would have been pushed onto the path of cultivation by him!

"No, you only have three years. I still have some Yin Water of the Earth and Thunderlight Essence here, which is enough to ensure the spiritual power for your cultivation." The Purple Crane True Man said, "If you can't make it in three years, then the fate between you and me as master and disciple will come to an end."

Three years. It seemed that this old guy would only wait for three years at most. But it was enough to get so many benefits.

Xu Shan said bluntly, "I will definitely do my best. But I'm just confused... I haven't been in contact with Master for a long time. Why are you treating me so well? After all, the cultivation resources Master provided are all extraordinary."

He couldn't act too smoothly. Expressing some doubts appropriately could lower the Purple Crane True Man's vigilance. Although this old guy had already regarded him as something in his pocket, it was still necessary to do this simple thing.

"As I told you before, my lifespan is coming to an end. So I only have one wish in this life, which is to hope that someone can pass on the Spotless Mysterious Book. You don't have to worry and just focus on cultivation."

"I understand, Master. But I just came out of seclusion today. I wonder if I can rest in the Zhenhai Sect for two days before continuing to cultivate?"

"Sure. Then you can rest for two days. Come back to the mountain gate with me today."

The Purple Crane True Man didn't want to say more. He waved his sleeve, creating a gust of wind that carried Xu Shan and flew towards the Zhenhai Sect.

During the flight, Xu Shan kept observing the layout around the Zhenhai Sect. It was necessary to plan the escape route in advance. He was confident that he could intimidate the Purple Crane True Man with the Qingyin item and then find an opportunity to change his face and run away. But the Purple Crane True Man had a large number of disciples and followers. If he ran out like a headless chicken and something unexpected really happened, it would be troublesome.

When they landed on the square of the main hall, the Purple Crane True Man instructed, "You can walk around freely within the mountain gate. If you have anything else, send me a message with the jade slip."

Xu Shan nodded in agreement and was about to leave. A figure flew over from the horizon. Judging from the clothes, it was an elder in the sect. The elder shouted eagerly before landing, "Sect Master! That monk is here again!"

Xu Shan and the Purple Crane True Man were originally turning around and walking in the opposite direction. When they heard this news, they both stopped in their tracks and turned back.

The imposing manner of the Purple Crane True Man gradually rose. His hair and beard fluttered, and there was a strong fighting intent in his eyes. "This bald thief actually came again. He really doesn't know the meaning of life and death. Just in time! Immediately activate the great formation and follow me to face the enemy!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he turned into a rainbow and flew away.

Xu Shan stood alone on the main hall, with a somewhat playful expression. The Zhenhai Sect had a powerful external enemy who had been harassing it. More importantly, this guy was so powerful that even the Purple Crane True Man had to gather people and set up a formation before daring to fight him. It could be seen that he was a highly cultivated person.

If this person directly killed the Purple Crane True Man, it would be a wonderful thing, and he wouldn't have to worry about anything! Xu Shan thought happily.

He wasn't in a hurry to observe the terrain of the Zhenhai Sect now. Instead, he might as well wait here for the Purple Crane True Man to come back and learn about the situation.

Half an hour later, Xu Shan looked towards the east with a serious expression. About more than twenty li away, the scene in the sky began to look strange. Half of the sky was covered by dark clouds, and the other half was filled with golden light... The confrontation between the two sides was extremely obvious.

The golden light entered his eyes but wasn't dazzling. It gave people a feeling of softness and warmth. Just by looking at this cultivation technique, one could tell that it followed the path of being upright and peaceful, and it was a genuine Orthodox cultivation technique. This definitely wasn't the Purple Crane True Man.

The rumbling sound of explosions kept coming this way, continuously. It could be seen that the two sides were fighting extremely fiercely.

Three minutes later, the situation took a sudden turn for the worse. The golden light weakened and was occupied by the dark clouds. It dissipated faster and faster until only one - third of the area was left. In the blink of an eye, the golden light disappeared completely, and then the dark clouds gradually dissipated.

Xu Shan felt a bit disappointed. What a pity. It seemed that they had lost.

He stayed in the square for a while longer. The Purple Crane True Man led a group of elders back triumphantly. The Purple Crane True Man didn't seem to have any injuries on him, but the elders under him were all listless. Some were even carried back.

And beside the Purple Crane True Man was actually a monk. He had broad shoulders, a large body, thick eyebrows, and eyes like a leopard. He looked like Lu Zhishen. He had two pieces of purple - gold copper armor buckled on his chest and back, with eighteen talismans inlaid on them. His arms were also bound inside the copper armor. At a glance, it was obvious that his strength was restricted by the magic tool and he couldn't break free.

Although the monk was captured at the moment, he still showed no sign of fear and glared at everyone.

The Purple Crane True Man casually threw him into the center of the square. Xu Shan hid on the periphery and observed secretly.

The Purple Crane True Man looked at everyone and laughed wildly. "Everyone, this bald thief has harassed our Zhenhai Sect several times. Today, he has finally been captured!"

"I'm in a good mood today. Let me ask you all. Does anyone know the identity of this person?"

Everyone shook their heads.

The Purple Crane True Man smiled and said, "This person is called Fashan. He is quite famous in the Tianxin Domain in the north. Because of his fiery temper, he is known as the Fiery Monk."

"Just because I accidentally killed two mortals, this person crossed the Chenling Sea and has been causing trouble for our sect all the way until today! Tell me, how should we deal with this crazy monk?"

The Fiery Monk, who had been silent all this time, spoke up at this moment. "You killed six mortals and two of my disciples. Purple Crane, you raise mortals as blood food in the Southern Border. This is unacceptable to the heavens! Although I will die today, there will definitely be someone to avenge me. None of you evil people in the Zhenhai Sect can escape. I'll be waiting for you in the underworld!"

The Purple Crane True Man laughed and stepped on the Fiery Monk's face. He sneered, "Monk, just because of a few mere mortals, you crossed the Chenling Sea and have been pestering me until now. You think you're doing good deeds with all your heart, but you don't realize that you've already fallen into偏执. You've already fallen into the Demonic Path!"

"Our Zhenhai Sect is the genuine Orthodox sect. The cultivators in the sect are all focused on cultivation, seeking the Dao, and enhancing their strength. They have no other thoughts. How can you compare with us, you hypocrite?"

"Do you even deserve to be called Orthodox? You're extremely shameless!" The Fiery Monk squeezed out these words through his teeth.

The Purple Crane True Man mocked, "Whether our Zhenhai Sect is an Orthodox sect or not is up to us in the Zhenhai Sect to decide! Don't you think so?!"

"Yes!!!" Xu Shan was the first to loudly echo, and at the same time, he looked at the Fiery Monk with burning eyes.
