Chapter 220: Chapter 201: You Think You Can Challenge the Master in Magical Combat? (Double-Length)

Ma Wu had long established connections at the Daoist School Mountain Gate, ready to send a Command Sword to Gu Yuan the moment he returned, allowing him to be informed immediately.

Yet, unfortunately, there was no news for ten years.

But unexpectedly, today brought a delightful surprise.

"I knew it, Senior Brother Gu is blessed with great fortune. A mere transmission could never stop him. He will certainly return!"

Looking at the Command Sword in his hand, Ma Wu breathed a sigh of relief, showing a look of joy.

To him, Gu Yuan’s return was not only a newfound pillar of support but also related to the Red Mist Secret Realm.

Back then, he had offered the key to the Secret Realm to Gu Yuan for the Foundation Establishment Spirit Qi.

He had thought that by breaking through to Foundation Establishment and following Gu Yuan, he could gain some opportunities.

After all, he had entered the Secret Realm before and was familiar with its situation. If Gu Yuan wanted to enter, he would likely need him to guide the way.

Unexpectedly, the Jade Water Fire-Eyed Ape’s Great Demon acted unpredictably, unexpectedly teleporting all the Daoist School’s outstanding disciples, completely disrupting his plans.

"Senior Brother Gu’s return is surely good news, but Bu Zhengyang, being an outstanding disciple of the previous generation, is near Late-stage Foundation Establishment. Even if Senior Brother Gu returns, I’m afraid..."

Lvu Zijin suddenly spoke, showing a trace of worry on his face.

"Junior Brother Lvu, what do you mean by this?"

Ma Wu glared.

"What else could I mean? I’m just worried that though Senior Brother Gu returns, he may not be able to contend with Bu Zhengyang and might lose face."

"After all, it’s been only ten years. Even if Brother has unparalleled talent, it’s hard to break through to Mid-Stage Foundation Establishment, whereas Bu Zhengyang is approaching Late-Stage Foundation Establishment."

"If we lose, it’s nothing, but if Senior Brother Gu loses, then the Gu Clan’s mountain will be completely hopeless..."

Lvu Zijin said with a bitter smile.

Gu Yuan is a great flag, but if this flag falls, they too will be in trouble.

It would be better not to appear, to lurk in the shadows, and wait for the future.

This way, they can still preserve their reputation.

Upon these words, Fu Hongling and others began to ponder.

"Otherwise, send a Commanding Sword to Senior Brother Gu, advising him not to come to Heart-breaking Island for the time being?"

Lvu Zijin hesitated for a moment before suggesting.

"It’s probably too late. Senior Brother Gu should already be on his way..."

Ma Wu shook his head. Then he looked around, his face turning cold: "No matter, we cannot let the Fish King go easily. We must do our utmost to stop them."

"As for whether Senior Brother Gu will fight upon his return, that’s for him to decide."

"As long as we do our duty!"

"Moreover, with Senior Brother Xie here, we may not lose!"

Ma Wu looked at Xie Chengping and the High-grade Spiritual Artifact in his hand, showing a solemn expression.

"Indeed, with me here, have no fear!"

Xie Chengping patted his chest and said confidently.

"Yes, Senior Brother!"

Seeing the two’s firm attitude, Lvu Zijin and the others could only respond seriously.

...

...

The Great Sun set in the west, and the sky gradually darkened.

Around Heart-breaking Island, faint cold currents emerged from the depths of the Water Vein, a multitude of vibrant snowfish swam playfully along the currents.

Four elongated Spirit Boats, following the cold currents, slowly approached Heart-breaking Island.

On the Spirit Boats, Spirit Nets glimmering in silver were hung at the stern, waiting to cast the nets and catch fish as soon as dusk fell.

"Senior Brother Bu, this place is already within Heart-breaking Island’s territory. By sailing here, aren’t you trespassing?"

Amidst the dusk, Ma Wu’s voice rang out from afar, questioning.

"The sect assigned Heart-breaking Island to Gu Yuan, but never said this vast water area was his private property."

"Moreover, if this Heart-breaking Island belongs to the Gu family and is dissatisfied, let Gu Yuan come see me!"

Bu Zhengyang sat cross-legged on the Spirit Boat, with a resolute face and a solemn expression. Hearing the words, he only said indifferently.

"You know Senior Brother Gu is not at the Daoist School. Isn’t this taking advantage of others’ difficulties?"

Ma Wu shouted angrily.

"Taking advantage of others’ difficulties?"

"I would say the same in front of Gu Yuan!"

"Does a mere junior think he can dominate just because he beheaded an early Earth Demon stage Jade Water Fire-Eyed Ape?"

"He’s merely a Foundation Establishment Junior Level!"

Bu Zhengyang raised his eyes, speaking disdainfully.

"In that case, my apologies!"

On Heart-breaking Island, Ma Wu took a deep breath, knowing that today’s matter could not be resolved peacefully, that a confrontation was inevitable.

"Roar!"

He rode the Escape Light, flying out of Heart-breaking Island, and spat out a semi-purple Fire Dragon, which clawed aggressively towards Bu Zhengyang.

Lvu Zijin, Fu Hongling, and Songg Shan also acted simultaneously, each using a Dharma Seal or Spiritual Artifact, attacking Bu Zhengyang.

The most imposing was Xie Chengping.

The Cyan Thunder Spike in his hand, a high-grade Thunder Attribute Spiritual Artifact, once unleashed, emitted a powerful surge of lightning that ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators found hard to resist.

Yet, Bu Zhengyang still sat cross-legged, unmoving.

"Haha, do you think you can challenge Senior Brother Bu with just this? It’s really laughable!"

On another Spirit Boat, Su Youyue laughed aloud, and a golden Treasure Pearl flew from his sleeve, transforming into a golden curtain of light, firmly covering half the water.

When Xie Chengping’s Cyan Thunder Spike struck it, it emitted a loud roar, yet the light curtain remained unharmed.

Meanwhile, on two of the Spirit Boats, Su Huazheng and another Su Family Foundation Establishment cultivator each summoned a Spiritual Artifact, activating Dharma Seals, entangling with Ma Wu and others.

In an instant, Spiritual Light flickered, and Techniques roared.

However, just a few breaths later, the situation became one-sided.

Xie Chengping wielded the high-grade Spiritual Artifact Cyan Thunder Spike, seeming formidable. Still, Su Youyue, coming from a Noble Family and having cultivated for a hundred years, certainly had more cards to play.
