C347 Testing Me out
Lee Zhuohua looked curiously at the old man before him. He knew that the other party was the writer of this scripture. Because his prying had made the other party aware of his existence, this divine sense had descended here.
And when the old man heard Lee Zhuohua's voice, he felt puzzled. Because Lee Zhuohua was currently in a state of divine sense, he could not see Lee Zhuohua's face clearly. He could only tell from Lee Zhuohua's voice that the other party seemed to be a young man.
It was not what he had expected. He had thought that the man who had been spying on him must have been one of his own, but the voice was so young that he could not think of who it was.
"Who are you?" The old man's eyes locked onto Lee Zhuohua's divine sense and asked.
"Young man, why are you so insistent? Is my background that important?" Lee Zhuohua did not tell the other party his background when he heard the other party's question. Instead, he answered the question in an irrelevant manner.
When the old man heard Lee Zhuohua's words, his eyebrows started to slowly condense. Because Lee Zhuohua was currently in a state of divine sense, he couldn't see through Lee Zhuohua's face. As for his identity, he just wanted to confirm if the other party was from Human or not. After all, he didn't want his Dao to fall into the hands of the otherworldlings.
However, when he recalled that Fang Zheng was in Qian Yuan Academy, his expression became a little normaler. He knew very well what kind of place the Qian Yuan Academy was, so he did not have so much suspicion about Lee Zhuohua's background.
"You're an elder of the Qian Yuan Academy Inner Palace?" The elder squinted his eyes and said as if he was guessing something.
Lee Zhuohua originally wanted to make up an excuse to deceive the old man, but when he heard the old man's words, his eyes lit up slightly, but he did not answer.
Sometimes, things would go wrong if one spoke too much. If Lee Zhuohua openly admitted to the other party's words, then the other party might be even more suspicious.
"Since you know about it, why bother asking?" Lee Zhuohua said ambiguously. He wanted to use this method to make the other party think that he was an elder of the academy's Inner Palace.
Because with Lee Zhuohua's current status, it was not good for him to tell the old man clearly. If he said that he was a new student of the academy, the old man would definitely think that he was lying, and if he told the old man his real origin, it would involve the thousands of things. Lee Zhuohua did not want to reveal anything about himself in this world.
Lee Zhuohua's method worked. The old man's question was just a test, but when he saw that Lee Zhuohua was so calm that he didn't seem to have given himself away at all, he was already somewhat sure that Lee Zhuohua was an elder of Qian Yuan Academy.
"I wonder why Fellow Daoist has come here?" Lee Zhuohua was afraid that the old man would react to his words, so he deliberately changed the topic.
The old man had originally been pondering about the details of his conversation with Lee Zhuohua, but now that Lee Zhuohua had suddenly asked him, he remembered the reason why he had come looking for him.
His eyes were still black and white. Coupled with his serious expression, it made people shiver.
However, Lee Zhuohua was not scared by the other party's direct gaze. Right now, he was in a state of spiritual sense, and the other party could not see through his current appearance, so he was quite bold, quietly waiting for the other party to speak.
"I am Xuanyunzi. How may I address you?" The old man did not directly state his origin, but instead stated his name.
Lee Zhuohua was slightly taken aback when he heard the other party's name. He was not familiar with the other party's name, but with his strength, his name would definitely resound throughout this world. If he remained unmoved, he would make the other party notice that something was amiss.
"So it is Brother Xuanyunzi. I have heard of your great name for a long time. Now that I have seen you today, you are indeed extraordinary." Lee Zhuohua flattered him with polite words, forgetting about his title.
Xuanyun Zi was not moved by Lee Zhuohua's words at all. His eyes were still locked on Lee Zhuohua. He had signed up to know who the other party was, but the other party didn't give him any information. He did not reveal any fixed information. Presumably, this sentence was just a formality.
In fact, if Xuanyunzi's name was placed in the current world, perhaps not many people would know about him. He was an expert of the Human Clan's older generation, and only a few sect elders knew about his origins.
But a thousand years ago, Xuanyunzi's name would have resounded throughout the world because he was the only forbidden existence in the world who had mastered the Dao of Life and Death.
Xuanyunzi looked at Lee Zhuohua for a long time, but seeing that there was nothing wrong with him, he finally slowly closed his black and white eyes.
Lee Zhuohua saw Xuanyunzi close his eyes and heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. He was glad that he did not expose himself.
From the moment Xuanyunzi's spiritual will descended, Lee Zhuohua had noticed the other party's eyes. It was the other party's achievement in the Dao of Life and Death. If it was said that the previous scriptures had made Lee Zhuohua feel that the other party's understanding of the Dao of Life and Death was still a little biased.
And the moment he saw the man's eyes, he realized that the man was probably going to go farther down the path of life and death.
This was the reason why Lee Zhuohua did not dare to give himself away in front of him. He believed that as long as he let the other party see any clues, he would be able to easily erase his existence with just his divine sense.
He could sense the terrifying strength on the other party's body.
"You're spying on me." Xuanyunzi closed his eyes and did not open them again, but he said those words.
The reason why Xuanyunzi's spiritual sense was here was to find out who was spying on his Dao. He felt that the other party also had a unique understanding of the Dao of life and death. This made him very curious about when someone in this world who walked the same path as him had appeared.
"He's here." Lee Zhuohua heard the other party's words and thought to himself, but there was nothing wrong with his aura.
"Dao brother's divine sense is really sharp. I was only observing the scripture left behind by Dao brother. I didn't expect that it would be sensed by Dao brother." Lee Zhuohua chuckled, as if he was chatting casually.
"Absorb my scripture? But you are questioning my Dao. I wonder what you have to say about my Dao." Xuan Yunzi's eyes were still closed, but the words he spoke were powerful and sharp.
The struggle for the Great Dao was extremely dangerous, and even a slight correction could cause the other side's path to lose its path, let alone the doubts of others. That was why Xuanyunzi had come here when he sensed that someone was spying on his path.
Lee Zhuohua naturally understood what he meant, but the Dao of Life and Death was the origin of Heavenly Faction. When someone else walked this path, Lee Zhuohua would of course verify it.
Whose path is the right path, this is incomparably important to anyone, so Lee Zhuohua did not show the slightest bit of weakness at this time.
"I'm not saying that I have a good opinion, but I feel that there's something wrong with Brother's path." Lee Zhuohua did not dodge the opponent's attack, but said it directly.
At such a time, Lee Zhuohua would definitely not give in at all, because he could retreat, but his Dao could not be retreated. If he agreed with the other party's Dao, it meant that he was denying the Dao of Heavenly Faction and his own Dao.
Once Lee Zhuohua did that, not only would he not be able to prove the Extreme Death Aura in the future, but even the current Dao Fruit Of Life would collapse.
"Humph." Xuan Yunzi let out a cold snort.
In his heart, he had already regarded Lee Zhuohua as an arrogant person. His research on the Dao of Life and Death had already reached the peak of this world, but the other party said that his Dao was inappropriate. Wasn't this saying that his path was not correct? Therefore, he would not have a good expression on his face.
"Then tell me what is wrong with you." Xuanyunzi said in a cold tone. He was curious to see what the other party would say.
Lee Zhuohua noticed the change in the other party's tone, but he did not feel the slightest bit of fear. On the path of life and death, except for his master, Xie Yange, he would never put anyone else in his eyes.
He had always firmly believed that his Dao was the true path of life and death, and the true correct Dao.
