Lian Qingzi's words seemed to have used all her life's cultivation, and her strong answer was like a series of shackles that were tied to Shi Wu.

The ground that Shi Wu stepped on was shattered and sunken. He carried heavy shackles that were full of past worlds and said word by word: "Since you believe in your fate so much, has Taoist Qi Lian told you that your Lotus Sect will exist or be destroyed today?"

After Shi Wu finished speaking, the entire Lotus Sect started to shake.

Lian Qingzi's expression changed drastically when he heard this. The Xuanlian Zhenren and Fenglian Zhenren beside him also heard the threat in Shi Wu's words.

The Lotus Sect outside were wondering why there was an earthquake in the sect, but the next moment they realized something was wrong. The clear sky suddenly darkened just now. When they looked up, a huge spiritual fist covering the sky and the sun was already hanging above the Lotus Sect. Most of them were so scared that they sat on the ground.

An alarm bell rang in the Lotus Sect, and dozens of spiritual power fluctuations appeared outside the Lianyu Hall.

Before those teleported Nascent Soul Elders were even asked for instructions, Shi Wu's fist wind was blown out a hundred feet away. Shi Wu sent a voice to the outside world: "Before your sect leader gives me the answer, those who cross the hundred feet will be killed without mercy!"

Shi Wu's tough tone obviously could only intimidate some of the Nascent Soul Elders. Just as the remaining Nascent Soul Elders took out their magic weapons to angrily shouted who Fang Xiaoxiao dared to spy wildly in the Lotus Sect's territory, Lian Qingzi looked at the dark sky outside and shouted: "Don't both of you come in!"

The Nascent Soul Elders who were holding magic weapons to rush into Lianyu Palace stopped after hearing Lian Qingzi's orders. Although they didn't know what was going on inside, they had absolute respect for Lian Qingzi.

Lian Qingzi knew that Shi Wu was asking him to make a choice. If he said that the Lotus Sect exists today, then Shi Wu's magic will definitely fall, and the Lotus Sect will never be spared. If he answered that it did not exist, then Lian Qingzi would violate the words he had said before. At this extremely difficult moment, Lian Qingzi would naturally not let the Nascent Soul Elders outside come over to get in the way. After he stopped them, he took the last trump card and he took the initiative to hand over the Ningxing Stone and said: "Fellow Daoist Shi, Senior Qi Lian has left you two things. Both are the Ningxing Stone in my hand, and the fire lotus he left in the pond before he ascended to the inner hidden realm of Daoqing Pond. He said that if I don't hand these two things to you, my Lotus Sect will not need you to take action. If Fellow Daoist Shi still wants to destroy my Lotus Sect after getting these two things, I believe that this is the fate of my Lotus Sect!"

Seeing that Lian Qingzi did not answer his question directly, Shi Wu used the two items left by Taoist Qi Lian as a delay. He did not reach out to receive the Ningxing Stone handed over by Lian Qingzi. He asked Lian Qingzi, "Is this your last reliance?"

Lian Qingzi also refused to deny it: "This is my last obsession!"

Shi Wu had known from the boy who led the way that the place that inspired him was the Qing Pond of the Lotus Sect's holy tunnel. Now that he heard that Taoist Qi Lian had left a fire lotus, he nodded and said, "Lead the way!"

Lian Qingzi said to the Xuanlian Zhenren and Fenglian Zhenren beside him: "Don't act rashly when you stay here."

Zhenren Xuanlian stood up and asked Shi Wu and said, "Fellow Daoist Shi, Jian Tuan is the chess piece in this game, why is my Lotus Sect the same? Please let me let my Senior Brother Lian Qingzi go."

Shi Wu replied: "Jian Tuan is a chess piece but he still chooses to fight against the so-called fate at the end of his life! You know that fortune-telling for him will be backfired by the way of heaven, but you are still willing to try it out to find a glimmer of hope to protect his disciples. So I respect you! But other people in the Lotus Sect are different! Since Lian Qingzi believes in everything that Taoist Qi Lian said, he also chooses to carry out the backhand entrusted by Taoist Qi Lian. Then the Lotus Sect must bear the consequences of doing so!"

Zhenren Xuanlian didn't know how to answer for a while. As Shi Wu said, these are the consequences that each person must bear after making a choice.

Lian Qingzi said: "Junior Brother Xuan Lian, things have come to this point, so there is no need to say more. I believe that if Master Lian Yu encounters the same situation as me, he will make the same choice as me."

Lian Qingzi said that, then walked to the purple gold incense burner. He picked up three long incense sticks from the side, lit it, and solemnly bowed to the statue of Taoist Lian Yu three times.

After Lian Qingzi inserted the long incense into the incense burner with both hands, he turned to Shi Wu and said, "Fellow Daoist Shi, please."

Lian Qingzi should first walk out of Lianyu Palace, and Shi Wu and the other four followed closely.

When they saw them coming out, they wanted to go over and ask what happened, but the giant spiritual fist in the sky and Lian Qingzi's orders made them dare not take a step forward.

The old man in purple clothes guarding outside the Daoqing Pool looked at the giant fist in the sky with a worried face. He had never seen such a magic method before. Just when he was thinking in his mind whether the Lotus Root Untracked Formation of Taoist Lianyu could block this punch, he saw Lian Qingzi's figure appear on the stone steps below.

The old man in purple hurriedly bowed and said, "Subor Song Chao, please see the sect leader."

When Song Chao saw the four Shi Wu and the others following Lian Qingzi, he immediately became alert.

Lian Qingzi said, "Elder Song, don't be impulsive. These four are distinguished guests of my Lotus Sect. I brought them here to get the things left by Senior Qi Lian."

When Song Chao heard the name of Qi Lian, he said with a respectful look on his face: "Sect Master, Xiaoshan is still meditating inside. After the formation barrier is opened, can you have to take him away first?"

"It's unobstructed." Lian Qingzi replied.

Shi Wu felt a little familiar when he heard the word "Xiaoshan".

After receiving Lian Qingzi's reply, Song Chao took out the lotus jade plate from the storage bag. He drew several talismans on the jade plate with his fingers, and then held it with one hand and opened the transparent formation barrier in front to both sides.

He Xiaoshan, who was seriously experiencing the formation barrier, heard the sound of the formation barrier opening. He opened his eyes and found that it was dark. He thought about why it was all night long before he meditated. When he saw the giant spiritual fist hanging in the air, he stood up in surprise and wanted to inform the guardian Song Chao here. He walked towards the formation barrier and saw Lian Qingzi and Shi Wu coming in. He bowed respectfully and said, "Disciple He Xiaoshan, see the sect leader."

Hearing the name of "He Xiaoshan", Shi Wu finally understood why he felt familiar, but his eyes became even colder.

"No gifts." Lian Qingzi said to He Xiaoshan, "Xiaoshan, I won't introduce this person you should know. As for these three, they are distinguished guests of the Moon Worshiping Palace who came with Shi Wu."

As the color is darker today, He Xiaoshan can only vaguely see Shi Wu's face. He didn't understand why Lian Qingzi said that he knew this handsome young man named Shi Wu. But since it was the distinguished guest of the Moon Palace introduced by Lian Qingzi, He Xiaoshan still bowed and said, "Hello, four distinguished guests."

Shi Wu saw He Xiaoshan's honest face as he was when he was a boy, and the coldness in Shi Wu's eyes melted three points for him. Shi Wu couldn't help but say, "You have grown up."

He Xiaoshan only thought Shi Wu's voice was very familiar, but he just couldn't remember where he had heard it. He asked in a low voice: "Do you really know me?"

Lian Qingzi was also surprised by He Xiaoshan's words. What he didn't know was that in order to hide his whereabouts, Ada and the other two not only changed their names, but also asked A Si to change their appearance by changing their shapes. When they met He Xiaoshan, Shi Wu was still the boy with swollen lips and braids on the sky, and he used the pseudonym Feng Nuan at that time. Therefore, He Xiaoshan could not associate the handsome young man in front of him with Feng Nuan at that time.

Shi Wu replied: "Your winter solstice group is delicious, and my grandfather and fourth uncle both like it."

When He Xiaoshan heard Shi Wu's words, he ran to Shi Wu in disbelief. He pulled Shi Wu's hand and said, "You...you are Brother Feng Nuan!"

"Yes!" Shi Wu looked at He Xiaoshan with gentle eyes and said.

He Xiaoshan, who had all the memories, hugged Shi Wu and said, "Brother Feng Nuan! You are really Brother Feng Nuan! I miss you so much, I miss you fourth uncle so much! You are here, where is the fourth uncle? Has he come?"

Shi Wu shook his head and said, "Uncle Fourth stayed in Jin State. He got married to the person he liked. I heard that he had a very cute daughter."

He Xiaoshan felt a little disappointed when he heard that A Si had not come. However, when he heard that A Si had already married a child, he was still happy for him: "Uncle Fourth is enough to be good. How is the wife he married? Is it beautiful? Will he live a life?"

Shi Wu remembered the break-up wine he drank with A Si on the street of Jin State. He said helplessly: "It's very beautiful. I don't know whether I will live."

He Xiaoshan looked at Shi Wu's face carefully and asked, "Brother Feng Nuan, is your face changing magic or is it real?"

Shi Wu was so amused and crying by He Xiaoshan's words that he asked, and the originally solemn atmosphere suddenly became much easier. Shi Wu patiently told him: "This is my real face. At that time, our group was chased and could only hide their names. My real name was Shi Wu."

"Shi Wu? Is that fourth uncle named Shi Si?" He Xiaoshan said curiously again, "What does the fourth uncle look like?"

Shi Wu thought for a while and said, "I don't know the real name of the Fourth Uncle. I only know that he is the killer of Wuyou Valley, nicknamed the bone-changing shape, and ranks fourth on the Wuyou Valley blood list. My grandfather called him A Si, so I followed him Uncle Fourth. As for his appearance, he used to be someone I was jealous of. But according to my grandfather, Uncle Fourth was already at the peak at that time, and when I grew up, I would be even better than him."

Shi Wu's words made everyone around him laugh.

But the next sentence of He Xiaoshan made their nerves tense again, especially Lian Qingzi, who wanted to go up and block He Xiaoshan's mouth. He only heard He Xiaoshan say casually: "How are you okay with Grandpa?"

When Shi Wu opened the formation barrier of Daoqing Pool, he saw He Xiaoshan immersed in meditation. After Lian Qingzi came in, he did not disperse any spiritual power, which means that Lian Qingzi did not use spiritual energy to inform He Xiaoshan of any news. Now that he heard He Xiaoshan ask this, Shi Wu knew that He Xiaoshan didn’t know what was going on. He replied calmly: “Grandpa A is with the person he likes. But they followed my sister A Ling and left the extremely unparalleled place and went to a very far place.”

He Xiaoshan said sadly: "Oh, there's nothing I can do. Last time I went back to Jin State, my father mentioned Grandpa A to me. He said that after you came to visit my house on the winter solstice, our family was really lucky to welcome the whole house. Not only did I have to worship the immortals, but my father and my mother also gave birth to a younger brother. Now my brother is a parent official, which can be considered to have fulfilled my father's dream of studying when he was young."

"Blessings come to welcome the house." Shi Wu murmured and repeated. He remembered that this was the congratulations he said to He Xiaoshan's mother after he went to He Xiaoshan's house. He said with emotion, "I really want to go to your house with Grandpa and Fourth Uncle to have a bowl of Winter Solstice balls."

He Xiaoshan also nodded and said, "Tell me Brother Feng Nuan, no, now he is Brother Shi Wu. You may not believe it. I had this idea ten days ago. I really miss you very much. I didn't expect you to be here in just ten days."

"The name is just a code name. If you get used to it, just call me Feng Nuan." Shi Wu said that the reason why He Xiaoshan was here was entirely because of the various methods of Taoist Qi Lian and the Lotus Sect. His face suddenly became gloomy.

Seeing that Shi Wu's face looked very bad, He Xiaoshan thought it was because of the giant fist in the sky. Then he remembered the truth and said to Lian Qingzi: "Sect Master, is the giant fist in the sky an invasion of foreign enemies? Can you let my brother Feng Nuan and the others teleport away first? I am afraid they will be implicated."

Lian Qingzi listened to He Xiaoshan's request and didn't know what to say.

Shi Wu felt that He Xiaoshan was still as sincere and kind as he was when he was young. He said, "Xiaoshan, it's okay. This should be just a large cloud formed in the sky, and it might disperse in a while."

He Xiaoshan was about to say that there were really such a big cloud like a fist. Then he saw the giant fists scattering, forming large pieces of white clouds. The previously blocked sunlight also scattered from the intervals between the large clouds.

He Xiaoshan really saw Shi Wu's face clearly at this time. He saw that his handsome face, as beautiful as a crown, added a sacred feeling under the golden sunlight, especially when he looked at Shi Wu's eyes that looked like a little lacquered starry sky, He Xiaoshan was immediately obsessed with it.

Shi Wu said to Lian Qingzi's words: "Fellow Daoist Lian Qingzi, you really have the intention."

Lian Qingzi heard that Shi Wu was talking about the fact that the Lotus Sect specially accepted He Xiaoshan, so he naturally could not take it in the name of the Lotus Sect. He replied: "It was that senior who was bothering about my Lotus Sect."

"Is this fire lotus he wants to leave me?" Shi Wu stretched out his right hand, and the huge fire lotus in the Qing pond was held in Shi Wu's palm.

He Xiaoshan didn't understand why Shi Wu could be called fellow Taoists with their sect leader, but when he saw Shi Wu take away the fire lotus, his eyes were all on Shi Wu's right hand.

Lian Qingzi was overjoyed when he saw it. He clearly felt that the appearance of He Xiaoshan, Shi Wu's resentment had dissipated a lot. Now as long as Shi Wu accepts the star-condensing stone in his hand, their Lotus Sect will no longer have any worries.

Shi Wu looked at the fire lotus in his hand. The red light flashing in the lotus and the red light emitted by the nine blood-colored balls in his body corresponded to each other. The nine-petal red lotus mark between Shi Wu's eyebrows appeared, and he knew that the fire lotus contained the flames needed for his second petal red lotus mark.

Shi Wu seemed to see the road paved for him by Taoist Qi Lian in front of him.

Seeing that Shi Wu had not moved for a long time, it asked, "Is there any fraud?"

Shi Wu replied with the introspection method of "Nine Transformation Spiritual Art": "This is indeed the flame needed for my second red lotus mark, but I don't want to take it."

"Why?" The spiritual body of the heavenly tribulation was puzzled.

Shi Wu said in the introspection method of "Nine Transformation Spiritual Arts": "Because I am thinking about some things. Those monks who use numerology to enter the Tao all draw the desired conclusions through deduction. Fang Yuan had previously wanted to make Hua Jingxuan wrong through me in order to fight Hua Jingxuan's qi. But later he fell into the plan that Hua Jingxuan had arranged in advance. So if I wanted to break the deduction of Taoist Qi Lian, what should I do? Should I refuse all of it or accept half of it and give up half? Lian Qingzi said that Taoist Qi Lian once said that if the Lotus Sect did not hand over this fire lotus and Ningxing Stone to me, if I didn't need to take action, the Lotus Sect would end up destroying people. Then was this sentence said by Taoist Qi Lian to the Lotus Sect or threatened me from a distance? In fact, when I used the first style of the Sea Monkey God Fist to force Lian Qingzi, I was not sure whether to knock down this punch or remove this punch."

The spiritual body of the heavenly tribulation only felt a headache and said, "Can you human race think less? I am almost dizzy by you."

"This is just one of the things I think about. There is another question that is more worth thinking about!" Shi Wu solemnly told the spirit body of the heavenly tribulation with the method of introspection in "Nine Transformation Spiritual Art".

The spirit of heavenly tribulation is in conflict. It does not want to listen to these human race's conspiracies, but it also thinks it is a rare opportunity to understand the human race. In its eyes, Shi Wu is already at the level of human spirit, but Taoist Qi Lian, who plays chess with Shi Wu across the air, is even more terrifying. In the end, the curiosity of the spirit of heavenly tribulation still replaced the headache. It said: "Forget it, I've heard it all, it's better to listen to it all. Tell me, what is the more worth thinking about!"

Shi Wu used the inner view of "Nine Transformation Spiritual Art": "That is the foundation of the mystery of numerology!"

"The fundamental reason for the mystery of fortune-telling?" The spiritual body of the heavenly tribulation repeated.

"Well!" Shi Wu expressed his thoughts, "I have been using fire as the way now. I have gone through a lot of things to really find and step on. Brother Gongsun once told me a reason for climbing a mountain. He said that the scenery you see is different when standing at different heights. For example, at the foot of the mountain, we only see the majestic mountain in front. We climb up the stairs and you can see the scenery exclusively on the mountainside. If we reach the last top of the mountain, we will see more than this mountain. He believes that the old immortal is the existence on the top of the mountain, so the person who bets against the old immortal should also be the kind of person standing on the top of the mountain.

I can't compare my knowledge of cultivation. I assume he can deduce everything about me, so I can leave the fire lotus needed for my second petal of red lotus. So do he need to follow the traces when deducing it? I know that the reason why Hua Jingxuan can give me criticism is mostly due to the method of divine machine and Taoist calculation to deduce my contact with Du Zidu. But Taoist Qi Lian is different! He even made many preparations before my father was born. This has completely exceeded the scope of deduction! I feel like he has seen it and then lays down specific means at a specific time."

The Spirit of Heavenly Tribulation regretted listening to this passage. It hugged its head with both hands and said, "Shi Wu, are you crazy or am I crazy? Are you talking about the Taoist Qi Lian who can see what will happen in the future? Then why does he pave so many ways for you? He can do it himself."

This is also something that Shi Wu didn't understand, but Shi Wu could just use the last sentence of the Heavenly Tribulation Spirit Body to infer: "If he can come to the Heavenly Tribulation Spirit Body completely by himself, there is no need to help me lay so many things. There must be something here that can limit his existence. Maybe it's Uncle Yuan or something else."

The Heavenly Tribulation Spirit Body only felt that all this was too incredible. It murmured: "You kid is a monster! I said in Wangchuanya that there are many things that are beyond common sense in this world, but you just came into contact with them first. I also thought that every step you took was a game planned for you by the person who bets on you. But now, you just told me directly that the person who bets on you can see what will happen in the future. If this is the case, is our ending already destined?"

After thinking about it carefully, Shi Wu said, "It's hard to say. We are probably just a move in his hand, in order to eat the pieces behind him."

The spirit of the Heavenly Tribulation was about to cry and said, "No? I am really glad now that Brother Yin Qin is in your body, at least there is an old immortal in charge, and the speed of your chess piece being eaten should be delayed."

When Shi Wu heard this, he suddenly raised his head and looked at the Heavenly Dao: "Lian Qingzi said that Taoist Qi Lian opened the ascension gate in this Qing Pool and entered the hidden world. If he could really cast spells and see what happened in the future, then do you tell me whether he was watching the scene here before, and can I pull him out!"

If Shi Wu's inference before was shocked to the spirit of heavenly tribulation, then what Shi Wu is going to do now can be described as crazy. The spirit of heavenly tribulation opened his eyes wide and said, "How did you pull him out!"

Shi Wu replied: "The piece of paper that my mother left me has an ancient coin on it. It has given me the correct guidance several times before. I want to give it a try!"

"You are crazy! You are really crazy!" The spirit of heavenly tribulation could not accept it.

Shi Wu chuckled and took out a piece of clear lotus from Nahaibaba with his left hand, looking at the ancient coins hanging by silk thread under the handle of the umbrella. He said to the ancient coins: "My mother left you on a piece of clear lotus, so it must be of purpose. Today I will use you to prove my guess. Come on!"

Shi Wu was thinking about the layout deep in his heart. He injected spiritual power with his left fingers and gently tapped the ancient coin.

I saw that the ancient coin was coated with a layer of luster by Shi Wu's spiritual power. After the light spread, the ancient coin actually stood up vertically and kept replacing it back and forth in the northeast and southwest directions.

"Two directions? Two people?" Shi Wu looked in the air in the northeast and southwest directions in confusion.

Just as Shi Wu looked in both directions, the ancient coin hanging by silk thread appeared and revolved again. With a tingling sound, a red light flew into the air from the ancient coin. The sky above the Lotus Sect suddenly surging, and a blue gate made of spiritual power suddenly broke through the clouds and appeared above the Daoqing Pool.

They had already held Ningxing Stone in both hands and Lian Qingzi, who was ready to offer it, and said in a daze: "This... this is the gate of ascension!"
Chapter completed!
