“I’m Zou Wenrui,” the old man snorted.
Oh… He’s Zou Zishi’s adoptive father, the great elder. No wonder he appeared beside Ning Tingshan and had such an arrogant attitude.
Your family is really full of background characters.
Liu Yuan nodded and smiled. “Oh, it’s Elder Zou. May I ask what your cultivation level is?”
“Junior, what do you mean by this?” Zou Wenrui raised his eyebrows.
Liu Yuan said, “Fine. At a rough glance, you seem to be at the Nascent Soul stage. I’ll change the question. How old are you?”
Zou Wenrui did not know what he meant. He frowned even deeper. “Don’t think that just because Eldest Young Miss is in love with you, you can do whatever you want in Water Moon Dock and play any inexplicable tricks. Let me tell you…”
Liu Yuan sighed and shook his head. “You didn’t answer my question. Are you blind, or is your hearing not as good as before? If you didn’t hear my question clearly, then I’ll say it again…”
Zou Wenrui slammed his walking stick on the ground and said coldly, “Impudent! I’ve cultivated for 315 years, formed my Nascent Soul, and refined it to the third level. In the cultivation world, I’m already capable of establishing my own sect. However, in consideration of the old Dock Master’s feelings, I’ve guarded the Water Moon Dock. How can I be humiliated by a junior like you!”
With this strike, the ground cracked open, and an extremely strong wave of spiritual power rushed toward Liu Yuan.
“Your cultivation isn’t that high, but you have a bad temper.” Liu Yuan first pulled Ning Xiangrong behind him and indifferently commented.
Zou Wenrui’s face twisted behind the turbulent flow of spiritual power in the air. He tightened his grip on his walking stick and was so angry that his body trembled. “W-what did you just say?”
“I said, if you’re planning to use sudden violence to extort compensation, I don’t have that much money.
He sneered and reached out his hand, his tone elegant and easy-going.
“But I will definitely have the money to buy you a coffin.”
Boom!
A deeper and stronger spirit force formed a cage and spread, with Liu Yuan as the center. Not only did it block Zou Wenrui’s attack, but it also protected all the equipment in the room. Then, as Liu Yuan clenched his fist, the cage was instantly closed.
“Fog Seal Tower!”
“You!”
Zou Wenrui was shocked and retreated, but it was too late. There was fog with sealing property everywhere, and Liu Yuan’s spiritual energy was leaking out. Although he was at the Nascent Soul stage, he could not use it at all.
A crushing defeat without a doubt!
Zou Wenrui started to struggle. His head was covered in a cold sweat. He was about to be completely sealed in the barrier by the spiritual power.
“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!”
He picked up his walking stick, clenched his teeth, and slammed it down. “Lightning Moon Break!”
The cane made of thousand-year Thunderbolt Wood was surrounded by electric light, which instantly broke through the fog, revealing the shadow of the moon. The light of thunder and the shadow of the moon shone together and exploded, but it was useless.
The fog had seeped into Zou Wenrui’s Dantian and locked his Nascent Soul.
The so-called Fog Seal Tower was like this.
His face was pale and filled with despair. “How, how could it be?”
The fog suddenly dispersed.
There were still a few people standing in the room. Ning Tingshan was stunned, Ning Xiangrong was stunned behind Liu Yuan, and the young man who still had a mocking smile on his face put down his hand. He looked at the old man and said lightly, “There’s a tacitly agreed rule in the Immortal cultivation world, isn’t there…”
“Those with high cultivation should follow the path, and those who have reached the path are teachers. You are now 300 years old and are at the third level of the Nascent Soul stage. I am probably a few hundred years younger than you and am at the ninth level of the Nascent Soul stage. If you can learn from some Chosen Ones who have the five elements in their names and fight across realms, then it’s fine. The problem is that you can’t beat me. Tell me, who is stronger and who is weaker? Who is the one who has reached the path?”
Liu Yuan looked at Zou Wenrui and said, “Come, let me hear it. Call me Senior.”
Zou Wenrui panted and his eyes turned red. “You’re going too far! You’re going too far… Dock Master!”
To be fair, when he said the words ‘Dock Master’,Liu Yuan thought that he was going to cry out loud.
Ning Tingshan was still in a state of confusion. He was frightened, and so he laughed awkwardly and touched his beard. “Old Zou, I… Umm…”
“Dock Master!” Zou Wenrui said anxiously.
Ning Tingshan turned to look at Liu Yuan and said with a pleasant expression, “Son-in-law, let the elder go. He has made many contributions to the Water Moon Dock, we can’t just lose his dignity like this.”
Now, Liu Yuan felt that Ning Tingshan had something to do with the foul atmosphere that Water Moon Dock was in. He was too weak.
He did dote on his daughter, but he was too soft on other things.
Thus, the elders seized power and eyed the top position covetously.
It seemed that it was necessary to carry out the ‘Father-in-law Raising Plan’.
“Since father-in-law has spoken, this son-in-law will naturally listen.” Liu Yuan retracted his spell, and the fog that was surrounding Zou Wenrui’s body dissipated.
Zou Wenrui heaved a sigh of relief. However, after sensing for a while, he said with a pale face, “My Dantian is in a mess.”
Liu Yuan chuckled. “It’s just insurance to prevent Elder Zou from bearing a grudge and taking revenge on me. After all, people in the world of cultivators are always uneasy. Don’t worry, Elder Zou, you can still cultivate. But from now on, I’ll take care of the spiritual power in your Dantian for the time being.”
Zou Wenrui held his breath and his face turned red. He gritted his teeth and said, “How could you be a Nascent Soul cultivator? You should be at the Foundation Establishment stage!”
It seemed that the information was passed on quite quickly. He wondered if there were any spies from the Water Moon Dock at Chiyu Villa.
Liu Yuan glanced at Ning Xiangrong, who was also at a loss, and then looked at his Father-in-law. He sighed and said, “To be honest, this is not the limit to my cultivation. I just lost my spiritual power because of some accidents. Previously, I met an old man on the verge of death and found out that it was the Sect Master of Jade Mirage Sect who disappeared 700 years ago. Before he died, he only had time to transfer his spiritual power to me and then passed away.”
Umm… Why did this sound like fantasy?
Every year, there were countless people who claimed to be the disciples of the former Sect Master of the Jade Mirage Sect, all to build up their own momentum. This guy was even more ruthless, taking their spiritual power and getting stronger. It sounded like nonsense.
Ning Tingshan criticized him silently for a while and tried to smooth things over. “That’s a pity. Son-in-law, please take a seat. Elder, please don’t be impatient. I wonder if you can let me take a look at that painting. In fact, I’ve also studied painting and calligraphy a little. I’ve heard that there are some Immortal cultivators who have entered the Dao with this. I don’t know if it’s true or not.”
At that moment, Zou Wenrui’s Dantian was under someone’s control. He temporarily suppressed the anger in his heart. He flicked his sleeves and sat back on the stool.
Liu Yuan handed the scroll over and unfurled it. It was a magnificent landscape painting.
Ning Tingshan was stunned when he saw the landscape map.
His eyes were firmly attracted, and after staring for a while, his face suddenly showed horror. He took a few steps back, widened his eyes, and looked up. “This… Is this the true work of the Saint?!”
