Chapter 229 Retracing the Path

The next day.

Silver frost flew everywhere. Jiang Mo, who had been waiting for twelve hours, asked the disciples who had woken up one after another, "How is it? Is everything going well?"

"My talent is limited, and I cannot achieve success overnight. I still need to spend more time and study carefully before I can understand the essence of these chapters."

Cheng Zhen, who had the highest level of cultivation, said so. He barely took one step in, but the second level of the initial trial of the true method was still far away.

"It doesn't matter. There will be plenty of time in the future."

Jiang Mo turned to look at Zhuge Yu, Lu Jin and Shui Yun, motioning them to talk about the progress.

"Uncle Master, I am ashamed. I don't know where to start. I can only remember these methods."

Lu Jin also failed, and Shui Yun and Zhuge Yu suffered the same result.

"That's all."

"Write them down first. When you break through the third level of rebirth in the future, I will teach you by example."

Jiang Mo walked out of the deserted temple. He noticed that the silver-gray crystal tied on his wrist still had almost half of its luster, which meant that "Destiny Rewind" would disappear in a day and a half.

He was about to set off for the Central Plains when his brows suddenly knitted together and he remembered something. He suddenly chanted, "Come here, I will change your appearance for you."

"Is there anything I need to avoid?"

Cheng Zhen was surprised. He had a premonition. Recalling the ambush two years ago, he knew there was no way he could survive. He probably still had some fellow disciples in the sect supporting him.

"Correct."

Jiang Mo controlled the Qi in his hands and stroked Cheng Zhen's handsome face. He suddenly applied the true method. His bones rose and fell, and his flesh and blood moved, changing his appearance. Even his jet-black hair became longer and grayer.

"Try to minimize the impact on them. Our traces are real to the people in this world."

"Especially you, Cheng Zhen. In this world, you should be a dead soul. If you were to show up in your true form and be seen by the little fellows in the gate, it might leave an obsession in their hearts."

After a few breaths, Cheng Zhen's appearance changed drastically. He changed from a gentle young man to a middle-aged man who had experienced many vicissitudes of life. His white shirt turned into cloth, and his long gray and white hair was tied up high behind his head, resembling the ancient heroes.

Listening to the uncle's instructions, Cheng Zhen's eyes were filled with emotion, and he whispered softly:

"Is that so? That's fine."

"Uncle Master, this is not a face-covering technique. Brother has truly transformed himself."

Zhuge Yu was amazed again and again.

"Of course not. The master's cultivation is far superior to ours. It is easy for him to do this."

Shuiyun got close to Chengzhen and observed him again and again, but indeed could not find any flaws.

"Come here, Jin'er."

Jiang Mo waved his hand and modified Lu Jin's face to make it more heroic and his eyes like sharp swords.

"Uncle Master, I want to be older."

"As you wish, little brat."

Jiang Mo smiled at Zhuge Yu's request, and after changing his appearance, he did not forget to rub his head.

Shuiyun didn't care. He wanted a warrior's appearance, with a thick beard and a sturdy physique with many scars.

In an instant, the true faces of the four people were concealed, and Jiang Mo turned into an old man in tattered clothes, and even his voice sounded extremely old.

"Come on, kids, let's go to the inn and then come back home."

As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his hand to control the Qi, and silver light shot up into the sky, like flying from the mortal world, straight into the vast sea of ​​clouds, and went south to the Central Plains with four people.

At dusk, the sky was full of fiery clouds, and the setting sun dragged the shadows of five people, reflecting on the end of the street. They walked downstairs of the inn.

"Hey, where is your boss?" Jiang Mo asked the waiter while leaning on his crutches.

"Hey! Old man, you are so unlucky. The shopkeeper is out. What do you want me to do?"

"Come on, gentlemen, please sit down and take a rest. I will serve you tea."

The diligent waiter quickly prepared bowls, chopsticks, and tea, and leaned over and said respectfully, "Sir, what would you like to eat?"

"Let me hear what's going on at Trinity Gate these days?"

Jiang Mo's old face remained calm. He took out a piece of gold from his arms and placed it on the table.

"Please wait a moment while I ask."

The waiter smiled flatteringly, and with lightning speed, he swept the gold with his right hand, and then enthusiastically poured tea for everyone.

moment.

The waiter brought the news. He stood aside and whispered, "The Sanyi Sect and Quan Xing are having a huge fight."

"Half a month ago, the demon Wu Gensheng brought the evil boy Li Muxuan into the mountains and caused the death of Zuo Menchang. It is said that his profound skills were broken by the gods, and he died with hatred."

"Later, Mr. Kuang Ya and Mr. Wei Xuanzi from their sect went down the mountain to seek revenge, but they were brutally murdered. When they were sent back, even their bodies were incomplete. It was very tragic."

Jiang Mo turned a deaf ear to him. To him, this was something he had expected. The other four disciples also remained silent and did not interrupt the waiter.

"Recently, all the disciples of the Sanyi Sect have gone down the mountain and are hunting down the Quanxing monster everywhere. No matter which sect or faction in the martial arts world came to help, they all declined. Because of this, many disciples died."

"Hey, gentlemen, if you want to help, I think forget it. There are some things that the disciples of the Trinity Sect don't want us to interfere in. I guess they have their own reasons."

"Okay, let's go down."

Jiang Mo said indifferently, the waiter nodded repeatedly and left immediately.

"Go back and take a look?" Lu Jin felt uneasy, his brows furrowed.

"Ah."

Jiang Mo embarked on his journey again, went out with four people, and disappeared in an instant.

night.

The atmosphere in Trinity Gate was sad, with cries of mourning audible from time to time. There were only a few old men and young disciples left in the gate. The once bustling Taoist palace now showed signs of decline, and everywhere the eyes looked, there was darkness.

There were even more graves in the back mountain. Jiang Mo came quietly and looked at Senior Brother Zuo's grave, as well as the graves of Si Chong, Cheng Zhen, and ten disciples.

"Light some incense."

The four disciples felt bitter in their hearts and kowtowed in front of the tomb with tears in their eyes.

Jiang Mo listened to the movements inside the sect and learned from the conversation of several old men that there are less than twenty people left in the sect. Apart from them, the other second-level disciples received an invitation from the devil to go to Longhu Mountain to settle the grudge.

a long time.

After the four disciples finished their ceremony, Jiang Mo led them out again. The silver light cut through the night sky and they rushed to Longhu Mountain at an extremely fast speed.

The five people who concealed their Qi were hiding on a rock wall somewhere, watching the fierce battle in the valley below. All the famous and upright sects in the mountain were guarding both sides of the canyon, forming an encirclement, witnessing this historic scene.

Twelve disciples of the second level of Nisheng are risking their lives and dignity in a fierce battle with Wu Gensheng.

"boom!"

"Boom!"

As he watched his fellow apprentices being defeated one after another, Shui Yun felt bad in his heart. He clenched his fists and said anxiously:

"Uncle Master, I want to help them." "Watch."

Jiang Mo didn't care. He had enough patience to watch this farce to the end. Even if the disciples in the valley were seriously injured or died, as long as he was still here, those people would not die.

"Brother, don't worry."

Zhuge Yu tried to comfort him. He noticed that many members of the sects in the valley were members of the sworn brotherhood of the Thirty-Six Thieves. He said coldly:
"Keep calm, maybe you can see more clearly. If you act rashly, you will alert the enemy."

Even though he saw with his own eyes another self being badly beaten by Wu Gensheng, he still restrained himself and did not act rashly.

Lu Jin and Cheng Zhen both had cold eyes and restrained their murderous intent, fearing that they would attract the attention of others. Even though to them, this was just a dream that existed in the past, they could not remain indifferent.

Uncle Master doesn't care.

They care!

They are not Jiang Mo. Since they feel reluctant in their hearts, they have a reason to take action. They are just waiting for a more suitable opportunity.

The fierce battle below was drawing to a close. Wu Gensheng, who was exhausted and wounded repeatedly, stood up straight, looked down upon the crowd, and said arrogantly:
"Come on, Trinity."

"Rootless!"

The Lu Jin in this world, with fierce eyes, walked forward with a blood-stained dagger in hand. Suddenly, he rushed forward, intending to kill Wu Gensheng.

"boom!"

The soil layer broke, and a swift figure suddenly struck Lu Jin's wrist at a tricky angle, snatched the dagger, and then swept his kick across the face.

"clatter!"

Lu Jin's figure retreated in embarrassment, his blood boiling and his face full of unwillingness. He was almost successful but was stopped by someone. He was so angry that he almost exploded.

"The swallow that travels through the forest, Yin Chengfeng!!"

"Damn it, is it him? No wonder he has such a hidden way of hiding."

"No. He came here openly like this. Are there other Quanxing monsters nearby?"

Accompanied by the exclamations of spectators from various factions, the identity of the visitor was revealed.

The two people in the valley talked for a short while, and soon there was unrest again. From the valley in the distance, a dense group of monsters came, all of them panting, as if they were running thousands of miles to launch a surprise attack.

"It's them?"

Lu Jin, who followed Jiang Mo and hid in the blind spot, had the impression that this group of monsters were from Dawang Mountain.

"Stupid old demon with meteor skin" Cheng Zhen felt emotional when looking at the two people who surrounded and killed him back then.

"Are you all here?"

Zhuge Yu judged the situation at the scene. The battle between good and evil seemed to be imminent. On the contrary, judging from the fearful reactions of the spectators, he was more certain that this was just a farce and a fight might not break out.

Sure enough, the next scene confirmed his guess.

Wu Gensheng talked with the witch Wu for a few words, and used his eloquence to convince many demons to listen to his arrangements and negotiate peace with the righteous people.

"Talk about peace? Are you out of your mind? What qualifications do you, a heretic like you, have to talk about peace with us?"

The stranger watching from the sidelines sneered, but was immediately refuted by Wu Gensheng:
"Just listen to me, why are you talking so much nonsense?"

Then, he talked with the disciples of the Trinity Sect, first severing their ties with Quanxing and other sects, not allowing outsiders to interfere, and insisting on fighting each other.

Soon, the two sides reached an agreement with Li Muxuan as a supplementary condition. Many monsters knelt down and obeyed the order of the leader Wu Gensheng, who ordered them to strictly abide by the agreement and not to attack the Sanyi people.

During the period, facing the questions from the onlookers on the mountain, he argued with sharp words and left everyone speechless.

The leaders of each faction had gloomy faces and were undecided. Finally, the deadlock was broken by Shui Yun, who led the Trinity Sect. He raised his voice in all directions, asking for the support of all the seniors present.

The leaders of various factions nodded one after another, and the farce was about to end. Wu Gensheng was injured and did not want to stay long, so he was about to leave, but was stopped by Lu Jin from this world.

"Wait!"

"Since the agreement has been made, no one else is allowed to interfere. So let's continue between you and me!"

".good."

Ignoring Jin Feng's dissuasion, Wu Gensheng was fearless and stepped forward as invited, and easily dispersed Lu Jin's second level with his divine spirit.

"Do you really want me to expose all the secrets of your Trinity Sect in front of everyone?"

Wu Gensheng looked indifferent, but when he saw the embarrassed faces of the disciples of the Sanyi Sect, he restrained himself and said:

"Forget it. There is still a long way to go. You still have plenty of opportunities."

Seeing Wu Gensheng walking away, Lu Jin was furious and roared ferociously: "Wu Gensheng, I will definitely kill you! Sooner or later I will kill you!!!"

"Come! I'm waiting for you, Lu Jin."

Wu Gensheng pointed his finger at the sky and the earth, acting arrogantly. He felt relieved and was about to turn around and leave.

At this moment, Lu Jin and Cheng Zhen, who had been hiding for a long time, cast complicated glances at Jiang Mo. Before taking action, they still hoped to get permission from their uncle.

"It's up to you. If you make a scene and kill people, I will take care of it for you."

Jiang Mo doesn't care about what the disciples in this world are like, but he cares about the feelings of the four disciples around him.

To him, there are countless world lines like this, like bubbles in a dream;
But the four disciples who had been accompanying him all the way were irresponsible. He allowed them to act according to their inner feelings. Humans are not plants or trees, so who can be heartless?

Wu Gensheng was surrounded by many monsters and walked away. Just when he thought he had won the bet, a sound that shook the valley made his whole body stiff as if he had been electrocuted.

"Walk?"

"Since you are here, leave your life behind."

Cheng Zhen's murderous intentions were exposed. After two years of training and reaching the second level of perfection, his body was in its prime again, and his edge was even greater than that of his master back then.

"Kun - Demon-suppressing Earth Prison."

Zhuge Yu, who possessed the two great magical powers of Wu Hou and Feng Hou, instantly appeared at the bottom of the valley. He pinched a seal with his left hand, and the magical formation under his feet expanded rapidly.

As he chanted loudly, the terrain of the valley changed. Countless rocks and soil rose up wildly, blocking the exit of the mountain path. More than seventy monsters were terrified. They did not expect that such a sudden change would happen at this final moment.

"There are still experts? Which sect's leader would use such means?"

All the famous and upright sects on the mountain were horrified. They looked at the short old man with sullen expressions, hating him for his recklessness and provoking a fight between good and evil.

"Who?!"

Wu Gensheng felt like he was falling into an icy cave, and the crisis of death swept through his body and mind.

"You like to expose secrets? Then expose as much as you want."

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw four figures walking towards them. The one leading the group was a middle-aged man with long gray hair. His hair turned instantly white, which was the iconic reverse growth feature of the Trinity Sect.

However, in addition to these, there were also terrifying wind and thunder energy images lingering around the man. His aura covered the mountains and rivers, like an immortal descending to earth, making the heaven and earth pale in comparison.

"Triple triple?!"

"No! Who is he?"

"Those seniors from the Trinity Sect who are wandering around?!"

All the heroes were shocked. The oppressive feeling exuded by Cheng Zhen's double rebirth made the monsters present feel numb.
