Chapter 128 Zhen Yuanzi Takes Action
Hearing this, Luo Shu was startled, his brows slightly furrowed, and he thought to himself:
"It's really a ghost that won't leave. I've already run so far, but it can still catch up with me."
As soon as he finished speaking, a white light flashed, and a figure appeared in front of everyone. When the figure appeared, it was the Taoist Master Ran Deng.
The Taoist Master Ran Deng stood in front of everyone, wearing a gray Taoist robe, with a stern expression and cold light flashing in his eyes.
"Luo Shu, can you run away?"
The Taoist Master Ran Deng spoke coldly, his voice full of contempt and ridicule.
Hearing this, Luo Shu curled up a sneer and a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes.
He looked at the Taoist Master Ran Deng and said sarcastically:
"What does it matter to you whether I can run away or not? You are just a nagging fly."
Taoist Master Ran Deng's face darkened, obviously angered by Luo Shu's words.
He snorted coldly, and his voice became even colder:
"Humph! How dare you speak so arrogantly? You really don't know what you are talking about. Wait until I catch you and see if you still have the energy to shout!"
When Luo Shu heard the familiar threat from Master Ran Deng, the corners of his mouth slightly raised in a disdainful smile.
He glanced at Ran Deng calmly, his eyes showing a bit of contempt, and said sarcastically:
"Haha! It's that sentence again. I think I just heard it not long ago. What? You don't have any other words?"
When Taoist Master Ran Deng heard Luo Shu's contemptuous response, his face instantly became as gloomy as ink, like the dark clouds before a storm, depressing and heavy.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, and there was a dangerous cold light flashing in his eyes, like two sharp swords, as if they were going to pierce Luo Shu.
The air around seemed to be frozen by this anger, making people feel a little depressed.
The two Taoist children standing by saw this tense scene and felt a tremor in their hearts, feeling an inexplicable sense of tension.
One of the Taoist children plucked up the courage to look at Luo Shu and asked cautiously:
"Master, what happened? Is there something wrong?"
Luo Shu nodded slightly and said softly:
"It's a bit troublesome indeed. I've been targeted by this old Taoist."
After saying that, Luo Shu turned his head and looked at the Taoist Master Ran Deng, with a hint of mockery in his eyes, as if he was provoking him.
His actions made Master Ran Deng’s expression even gloomier, like the dark clouds before a storm, depressing and heavy.
The Taoist Master Ran Deng snorted coldly, his voice full of threats and contempt:
"Listen carefully, you two Taoist children. I am the Taoist Master Ran Deng, the deputy leader of the Chan sect. This person has a grudge against my Chan sect. If you know what's good for you, stay away from him immediately. Otherwise, don't blame me for killing you all!"
The words of Master Ran Deng surprised the two Taoist children. They did not expect that this old man was the deputy leader of the Chan Sect.
Then, the two Taoist children bowed to Randeng and said respectfully:
"Greetings, Senior Randeng. We are here on the orders of our master Zhen Yuanzi to invite Luo Shu Xiansheng to Wuzhuang Temple. I don't know if you are offended by your presence here. Please forgive me."
Taoist Master Ran Deng nodded slightly, looked around, glanced at the two Taoist children, nodded, and said lightly:
"So you have followed me to Wanshou Mountain. Since you are disciples of Zhenyuan Daxian, I will not make things difficult for you. Just go ahead."
After hearing the words of Master Ran Deng, the tension and anxiety in the hearts of the two Taoist children instantly disappeared.
They looked at Master Ran Deng with gratitude and bowed again to express their gratitude.
Then, one of the Taoist children took a deep breath, mustered up his courage, and bowed to the Taoist Master Ran Deng, with a hint of hesitation and uncertainty in his voice:
“Senior Randeng, my master specifically instructed us to invite Immortal Luoshu to Wuzhuang Temple for a chat. Therefore, this… this invitation…”
Upon hearing this, the Taoist Master Ran Deng frowned slightly, a trace of seriousness flashed across his eyes, his expression visibly sank, and he shouted loudly:
"Immortal Zhenyuan and I are both among the three thousand guests of Zixiao Palace, and he is also a good friend of the leader of our Chan Sect, Saint Yuqing. Do you think he would have a grudge against our Chan Sect because of an unknown junior? It's simply ridiculous!"
The two Taoist boys were startled by the sudden shout from Master Ran Deng. They looked at each other, with a bit of fear and helplessness in their eyes.
They knew very well that they could not refute what Master Ran Deng said, so they could only lower their heads and answer helplessly:
"What Senior Randeng said is absolutely right. I understand. We will go back and report to the master and tell him about this matter."
After saying this, the two Taoist children saluted the Taoist Master Ran Deng again.
Then, the two Taoist children turned to Luo Shu who was standing beside them, with an apologetic look in their eyes, and said:
"Master, we feel deeply guilty for not being able to accomplish our mission. We can only report back to the master first and then make a decision."
Luo Shu smiled slightly, his eyes revealing a hint of gentleness and understanding.
He waved his hand, signaling the two Taoist children not to blame themselves too much:
"You two don't have to do this, but I'd like to trouble you two Taoist children to give something to Zhenyuan Daxian for me."
As he spoke, Luo Shu took out a crystal clear jade slip from his sleeve. The jade slip emitted a faint light, as if it contained endless mysteries.
He handed the jade slip to the two Taoist boys and said softly:
"Please ask the two Taoist children to personally hand over this jade slip to the Immortal Zhenyuan, and convey my respects to him."
The two Taoist boys took the jade slips, nodded, turned around and left.
Taoist Master Ran Deng stood aside and watched Luo Shu hand over the crystal clear jade slip to the two Taoist boys, but his heart did not feel too much waves.
Because Ran Deng didn't care. After all, no matter what the content was, it would not affect the Immortal Zhen Yuan standing on his side.
After the two Taoist children disappeared from the spot, Randeng turned his gaze to Luo Shu and said in a cold voice:
"Humph, why did you have to run to Wanshou Mountain when there are so many places to escape to? In the prehistoric world, everyone knows that Zhen Yuanzi and Yuqing Saint have been friends for many years and their relationship is extraordinary. If you come here, you will be walking into a trap and seeking your own death."
Luo Shu felt the coldness in the words of the Taoist Master Ran Deng, frowned slightly, and a hint of sarcasm appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he said disdainfully:
"Haha, Randeng, you underestimate me. I, Luoshu, have been traveling in the wild for many years, so how could I not know the interests involved?"
He raised his head slightly, his eyes flashing with a sharp light, as if he could see into people's hearts, and continued:
"I chose to go to Wanshou Mountain, of course I have my own considerations. As for what you said about walking into a trap and seeking death, that is nonsense.
Luo Shu glanced at the Taoist Master Ran Deng, his eyes full of provocation and defiance. He continued:
"If you don't believe me, just wait and see. You will naturally know that I made the right decision to come to Wanshou Mountain."
The two people's eyes met in the air, and a tense and depressing atmosphere filled the air.
When Ran Deng heard Luo Shu's words, he looked down on them and said in a deep voice:
"Humph, you are exaggerating. I don't care what tricks you have. Today, you will not leave Wanshou Mountain alive."
His words revealed coldness and determination, as if they had already pronounced Luo Shu's fate.
However, Luo Shu did not show any panic or retreat. He just stood there quietly, his eyes calm and deep.
When Taoist Master Ran Deng saw Luo Shu was so calm, he thought he was just pretending.
Then, his figure flashed, turned into a residual shadow, and instantly appeared in front of Luo Shu.
He stretched out a palm, with powerful magic power condensed in his palm, and slapped it directly towards Luo Shu.
Luo Shu saw this, but he did not panic. He swayed slightly and cleverly avoided the attack of the Taoist Master Ran Deng.
At the same time, he waved his right hand, and a bright light instantly burst out from his palm and rushed straight towards the Taoist Master Ran Deng.
"boom!!!"
With a loud bang, the two attacks collided in the air, causing a strong energy wave.
The surrounding air seemed to be torn apart by this energy, making a sharp whistling sound.
Luo Shu’s cultivation was indeed not as good as Randeng’s, and he was knocked back several steps by this force.
When Randeng saw this scene, a hint of pride flashed in his eyes and a hint of sarcasm appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Then, his cultivation at the initial stage of quasi-saint status reached its peak, and the strength of his whole body surged like a flood, attacking Luoshu again.
Luo Shu felt the ferocity of this attack from Master Ran Deng, and circulated the spiritual power around his body, transforming into a stream of light, which collided with Master Ran Deng's attack again.
The two of them went back and forth, fighting inextricably.
However, as time went on, Luoshu began to show signs of fatigue.
Although his cultivation is profound, it is still slightly inferior to that of the Taoist Master Ran Deng.
In this fierce battle, he kept consuming the spiritual power in his body, while Master Ran Deng seemed to be at ease and kept launching fierce attacks.
"boom!!!"
There was another loud bang, and the two attacks collided in the air, erupting with even stronger energy fluctuations.
This time, Luo Shu could no longer withstand the attack of Master Ran Deng. His body swayed, he spat out a mouthful of blood, and flew backwards.
Luo Shu used his spiritual power to stabilize his body. He raised his head and looked at the Taoist Master Ran Deng helplessly, thinking to himself:
"What's going on? Why hasn't Zhen Yuanzi come yet? Did he not read the jade slip? Or does he not care about the news from Patriarch Hongyun?"
Just as Luo Shu was immersed in deep thought, the Taoist Master Ran Deng did not give him a chance to breathe.
He looked at Luo Shu coldly, with a mocking smile on his lips, as if he had seen Luo Shu's despair and powerlessness.
"Humph, Luo Shu, you are doomed to die today."
Taoist Master Ran Deng said coldly while activating the powerful spiritual energy in his body.
He flipped his palm, and a bright light instantly condensed and took shape, turning into a fierce attack, slamming towards Luo Shu fiercely.
Luo Shu felt the powerful energy fluctuation, his heart tightened, and he quickly mobilized the remaining spiritual power to resist.
Just as the attack of the Taoist Master Ran Deng was about to hit Luo Shu, a mysterious magic suddenly flashed from the side.
The magic had an ancient and mysterious aura, as if it had crossed the boundaries of time and space and directly hit the attack of the Taoist Master Ran Deng.
"boom!!!"
With a loud bang, the attack of the Taoist Master Ran Deng was instantly broken up by the magic, turning into light spots all over the sky and dissipating in the air.
