Chapter 157: The Ties of the Guarded Sky

  Zhang Shan lowered his eyelids, maintaining a calm expression, not letting himself show any unusual color, but in his heart, waves were stirred up.

  It was known that Wu Xueyue would be valued by Yuehua Chi, but it wasn't expected that after entering the sect for half a year, she would be established as the Holy Maiden of Yuehua Chi.

  Among the eight major sects of Zheng Dao, Yuehua Chi is different from other sects. The members of the sect take female practitioners as the main and male practitioners as the auxiliary. The leaders of the sect are all women.

  The Holy Maidens of the Moon Flower Pool are equivalent to the Secret Disciples of the Xuan Tian Sect, but generally only three are established. Therefore, in terms of their respective sect's status, the Holy Maidens of the Moon Flower Pool are half a rank higher than the Secret Disciples of the Xuan Tian Sect.

  The leader of Yuehua Pool is always produced from the Holy Maidens, so Wu Xuanyue has at least a one-third chance of becoming the future leader of Yuehua Pool.

  Zhang Shan's mind flashed with some information about Yuehuachi, and he was amazed that his nominal sister-in-law actually had such an awesome identity.

  It was just from Wei Kong's words that he learned Wu Xueyue might be in trouble, and this trouble seemed to come from Li Ruofeng.

  Just with her current status, how would Li Ruofeng dare to be unfavorable to her? Moreover, after learning about this news, she certainly couldn't just sit back and do nothing, she had to get to the bottom of what was really going on.

  Zhang Shan smiled quietly and said, "The status of the Moon Flower Pool Saintess is equally noble, how dare Brother Li violate the great taboo to harm her? This matter is truly astonishing."

  "This is absolutely not true, this Wei guy is slandering me with blood in his mouth. This scum has been harboring evil intentions since he saw Snow Moon Shifu last time, I kindly reminded him to put away his prying heart, otherwise there will be no good outcome. This scum should have been holding a grudge against me like this."

  Li Ruofeng was anxious, loudly arguing, and then gritted his teeth and roared at Wei Kong: "Wei, I told you so! Don't pretend to be righteous!"

  The air around Wei Kong's body was filled with a fierce and violent aura, his voice cold as he said: "Say that again?"

  "You really think you can take me down? I'll say it again, what's wrong with that? Are you daring to swear on your soul that you don't have feelings for Snow Moon Shifu?"

  Li Ruofeng stared at him coldly and sneered: "If you dare, I'll tie my own hands, kill or cut me as you please!"

  The guardian's expression faltered for a moment, and the veins on his right hand, which was grasping the silver spear, bulged out, but he remained silent.

  "Haha, I told you so? You suspected that I was a holy maiden, and then you framed me by catching wind and shadows, the thief shouting to catch the thief, spit!"

  Li Ruofeng burst out laughing and turned to Zhang Shan, saying: "Brother Zhang, look at that, those words are all nonsense, the kid is just trying to deceive you, don't believe him."

  Zhang Shan blinked his eyes and knew that because the Tianzong and Yuehuachi were allies, Li Ruofeng was afraid that he would spread rumors back to the sect door, so he wanted to get a guarantee from him.

  "After all, who has a dirty heart, it's clear in one's own mind. Li Ruofeng, if you're smart, you'd better use the teleportation symbol to leave Silent Ridge immediately, otherwise, I will definitely kill you!"

  The air defense commander took a deep breath and said word by word.

  "Hmph, if I hadn't been poisoned by the yellow-striped scorpion's venom after killing it just now, do you think I would have used up some of my true yuan to drive out the poison? You think I'm afraid of you and that's why I retreated? Let's see who kills whom in the end."

  Li Ruofeng sneered, his finger flicking out a drop of dark red blood that burst forth from his fingertip and shot into a nearby large tree. The tree then withered and turned yellow at a speed visible to the naked eye.

  Zhang Shan felt his breath again and found that the true yuan stagnation had disappeared, it seemed that during this period of time, he managed to force out the poison.

  Li Ruofeng stood up from the ground and nodded towards Zhang Shan: "Thank you, Brother Zhang, for your hospitality. I'll take my leave first."

  He glanced at Weikong again and coldly snorted: "If you don't give up, just follow me then."

  As he spoke, his body moved and flashed into the dense forest, and just like that, he left.

  Wei Kong's eyes flashed and he was about to stand up and chase after him.

  Zhang Shan spoke up at this time: "Wait a minute, Wei brother!"

  Wei Kong's face turned cold, and he tightened his grip on the silver spear: "You want to stop me?"

  "Of course not," Zhang Shan said with a wave of his hand, "it's just that if you want to kill someone, there are plenty of opportunities. Anyway, the survivors will all go to Lihen Tower in the end, so there's no need to rush."

  He smiled and continued: "Of course, if Brother Wei can't wait any longer, then please go ahead. After all, your realm is lower than mine, so even if I want to stop you, I won't be able to."

  Wei Kong hesitated for a moment, sat down again, looked at Zhang Shan and said: "You're not wrong!"

  "Compared to Wei brother, it's still a bit lower." Zhang Shan said with a smile.

  "Wei Kong looked at him seriously and said: 'Having a low boundary is not equal to having low combat strength!'"

  Zhang Shan said with some surprise: "I didn't expect Brother Wei to think so highly of me. I'm truly honored."

  "I was born with a sense of danger towards warriors, you're very strong, very dangerous!"

  He picked up a string of meat from the grill and said while eating.

  "It's really a very interesting feeling, it sounds like a beast sensing danger."

  Wei Kung smiled at him, revealing a set of pearly white teeth, and Zhang Shan noticed that his canine teeth were longer than usual.

  Zhang Shan hesitated for a moment before asking: "That, Wei brother, you just said that Li Ruofeng is unfavorable to the Holy Maiden of his own sect, is this true?"

  "Wei Kong nodded: "Before I killed a lustful thief, I forced him to reveal some information. He mentioned that he had sold a bottle of Chunhua Qiuyue liquor to Li Ruofeng at the Moon Flower Pond.""

  "What is this spring flower autumn moon dew?" Zhang Shan couldn't help but ask.

  "That's a Soul-Devouring Elixir, specifically targeted at female cultivators." Wei Kong's eyes revealed a look of disgust.

  Zhang Shan somewhat understood and thought that this thing should be a strong tonic medicine.

  "But how did you know he was using this thing against Snow Moon Holy Maiden?" Zhang Shan still didn't understand.

  "Wei Kong hummed coldly and said, 'Because Tai Yin Yue Hua's body has a natural resistance to Spring Medicine, the only exception is Chun Hua Qiu Yue Lu, but there are medicines that are stronger and more colorless than Chun Hua Qiu Yue Lu, why does he want this one?'"

  Zhang Shan thought to himself, Wu Xueyue was indeed a person with the Taiyin Moon Body. If this speculation were true, then it might actually be possible.

  "Why doesn't Brother Wei inform Snow Moon Holy Maiden about this news and let her pay attention to Li Ruofeng?" Zhang Shan said.

  The awkward smile of the Air Defense: "I've only seen that Holy Maiden from afar, and I don't actually know her. Besides, this is just speculation on my part, and Fang Gongzi is dead, so there's no evidence to convince anyone."

  Zhang Shan couldn't help but say, "I thought it was true what Li Ruofeng said, that Wei brother liked that holy girl and wanted to take the lead for her. Who would have thought they didn't even know each other? Why would Wei brother fight to the death with Li Ruofeng over this?"

  "That's because... she looks just like my late mother..." Wei Kong hesitated for a moment before saying it out loud.

  Zhang Shan opened his mouth, speechless for a moment, and unexpectedly didn't think of this reason.
