The Path of the Martial Arts BOSS

"The Supreme Taoist Sect opposes."

The Sudden Onrise voice led everyone's gaze to the far end of the square. There, a young Daoist dressed in a deep purple Daoist robe stood up expressionlessly, his eyes directly meeting those of Zhang Yuanchu on the distant platform.

"The Supreme Taoist Sect..."

"When did we get an extra person behind us?!"

The two little Taoists who had been whispering to each other stared blankly at Qing Yu.

It wasn't just them, others too looked at Qing Yu with extreme shock.

Among them, there were no shortage of those who had reached Divine Communication. Because before this, they hadn't detected Qing Yu's presence at all, until he revealed himself and only then they realized that Dao Bufen's figure stood at the end of the square.

'In the end, I still had to show myself,' Qing Yu thought with a wry smile in his heart.

Originally planning to just watch the spectacle unfold, he hadn't expected Dragon Tiger Mountain to pull such a move.

If Dragon Tiger Mountain's prestige were established this time, it would only cause their status to surge, eventually surpassing the other two Taoist schools besides the Supreme Taoist Sect.

For Qing Yu, this would be extremely bad news indeed.

You see, between Qing Yu and Dragon Tiger Mountain, there was a vendetta involving ten thousand lives! Originally, he had engaged in suicidal attacks against Dragon Tiger Mountain involving the lives of ten thousand individuals, and even tricked Dragon Tiger Mountain afterwards, leading to the deaths of Zhang Yuanlu and Zhang Yang Ping and crippling Zhang Yuanfeng.

Would you say that vendetta is minor?

Of course, Qing Yu was not yet aware that by killing Zhang Yangping and causing the Vice Seal of Yang Ping's City Governance Seal to shatter and be lost, it ended up in the hands of the inhabitants of the Netherworld Ten Halls.

And last night, the Ten Kings of Netherworld Palace took the repaired Vice Seal to Dragon Tiger Mountain and seized the Ghost Emperor's Body.

His vendetta with Dragon Tiger Mountain was now basically irreconcilable.

With the close relationship between Dragon Tiger Mountain and the Six Gates, it was only a matter of time before they knew Qing Yu's real identity. Or perhaps they already knew.

Thus, it would be better to weaken the enemy as soon as possible.

Qing Yu's hands hung at his sides, with six streaks of Sword Qi flowing in the arms concealed within his sleeves.

Weakening the enemy was one thing, but if he couldn't ensure his own survival, that would be nothing more than the act of a foolhardy man. Hoping the enemy wouldn't discover one's disguise, one might sooner or later die at the enemy's hand.

People who gamble with their lives will eventually lose them. Because the word "gamble" is generally used in situations where success rates are below fifty percent.

As soon as his identity was revealed, Qing Yu would completely merge with the Xuanyin Twelve Swords and immediately possess the strength of the Divinity Realm. By then, with the help of the Nihility Magic Mirror, even if the Shenxiao Taoist acted, Qing Yu was confident he could escape.

Moreover, he was almost certain that the Shenxiao Taoist was on his side. If Shenxiao Dao was disqualified, their longstanding wish to confront Dragon Tiger Mountain would be declared a failure.

With the support of Shenxiao Taoist and Zhengtian Taoist, there was no need to worry about losing his life.

As for the physical changes after completely merging with the Xuanyin Twelve Swords, there were still solutions.

Now was different from the past. Qing Yu had already refined eight of the Xuanyin Twelve Swords and had relics to power up his Golden Bell Shield; his own power was also far deeper than before.

Therefore, the problem of merging with the Xuanyin Twelve Swords was far less severe than in the past—it just needed more time.

Back to the main point, Qing Yu's appearance deeply shook everyone present. Because it signified that Zhang Yuanchu's Absolute Kill against Shenxiao Dao had failed.

Two to two, a tie.

"The Supreme Daoist?"

Many recognized the face.

"The Supreme Daoist..." Hua Yufei glanced at Qing Yu.

The vast square obviously didn't obstruct Hua Yufei's line of sight, allowing him to see Qing Yu's current appearance with ease.

Although Hua Yufei, who had been in seclusion for healing, hadn't seen the true face of the Supreme Daoist, there was no mistake as everyone else was saying so.

Although the Supreme Daoist was elusive over the years, he had intervened quite a few times and shown his face often. Most people, however, didn't even know his Daoist name.

To Xuan Du, these irrelevant people, although not to the extent of being ants, were not worth the effort to recognize.

"So what if you are the Supreme Daoist? Can a junior like you really speak on behalf of the Dao Master?" Hua Yufei said.

With the unmistakable power of the Shenxiao Taoist not hidden, he too was not very confident at this moment. If it were just a duel with the Shenxiao Taoist, Hua Yufei had confidence, but before that, he had to fight one battle with the True Master Tianyang.

And the people of Mingxuan Temple, the Taoist who had been sitting quietly with his eyes closed in meditation, also posed a great threat to Hua Yufei.

Both of them were more threatening than the True Master Tianyang. Therefore, to ensure that there was no chance of failure, Hua Yufei didn't care about offending the Supreme Daoist.

"I..."

Qing Yu, who was previously at the end of the square, suddenly appeared on the platform that belonged to the Supreme Taoist Sect. Thanks to the concealment of the Nihility Magic Mirror, even those in the Divinity Realm could only catch a glimpse of it.

"...Of course, I can."

Qing Yu continued, "Standing here, I represent the Supreme Taoist Sect."

His words turned many eyes towards Lin Jianfeng, who was standing next to Hua Yufei. This severely injured True Core Realm Martial Artist was showered with a plethora of gazes.

Because what Qing Yu said now, Lin Jianfeng had said something similar before.

When True Master Tianyang asked Lin Jianfeng what made him qualified to speak to him, Lin Jianfeng said that by standing there, he had the qualification. This scene was so similar to the current one.

Only now the speaker from before had become the target.

"Merge with Heaven and Earth, there's no difference between the world and me. Indeed, it's the 'Supreme Heaven Opening Scripture' of the Supreme Taoist Sect," True Master Tianyang said.

At this moment, in his eyes, there was no separation between Qing Yu and the Heaven and Earth. The Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, the Essence Qi hidden deep within the Earth, all were in constant exchange with Qing Yu, communicating at all times.

The magic door that moved him from the end of the square to the platform in that instant also proved the status of the Daoist.

"The Supreme Daoist, Tianyang has shown respect," True Master Tianyang bowed in greeting.

'Old fox!' Qing Yu glanced at him.

This old Daoist who had previously disregarded the Luo Fu Daoist School was now showing extreme respect to a junior of the Supreme Taoist Sect.

It wasn't just because the Supreme Taoist Sect had a Supreme warrior as the Dao Master, but also because True Master Tianyang didn't want the Chunyang Palace to continue to hold its position.

With Hua Yufei's presence indicating the position of the Luo Fu Palace, Tianyang doubted he had a full confidence in defeating Hua Yufei.

As such, he needed to prepare another strategy. At the very least, the Luo Fu Palace must not remain in the position of the Taoist schools. Even if he allowed Shenxiao Dao to take the place, it was still better than having an old enemy pressing down on Chunyang Palace.

True Master Tianyang's thoughts were not hard to guess, and everyone was aware.

Qing Yu also happily followed his lead, immediately bowing in return and saying, "I, Xuan Du, have seen senior Tianyang."
