C523 A Brainstorming Storm
"Do you believe that?" Lin Yuchen had a look of disdain on his face. "If I enter the Ghost Thief's Mansion, will I still be able to come out?"
"Oh. "
"The old man said, Back then, it was Immortal Master who saved me. What happened? You don't believe me either. Fine. Ask me what you want to know. "
"I dare not. " Duanmu Loongchou smiled and didn't turn around. He continued, "You are Immortal Master's disciple. Immortal Master has saved your life. The kindness of teaching. But a year ago, Immortal Master had passed away. Why didn't you come to Sky Mountain? Not only did you not show up, but you also didn't come to Sky Mountain. He didn't even send a letter. How could Martial Uncle do what he should do as a disciple?"
Silence. The training field and the Conferred Stage were silent.
Duanmu Loongchou did not hear Lin Yuchen's reply for a long time. Finally, he slowly turned his head and looked at Lin Yuchen. " Why is Martial Uncle not speaking? "
"I am thinking about how I should reply to you. "
"Huh?" Duanmu Loongchou was stunned. He asked, "You, what do you mean?"
"Do you want to get beaten up too?" Lin Yuchen said with a smile that was not a smile.
"Hmm?"
"That bastard just quivered. " Lin Yuchen said again, "But not only do you think you are clever, you are also disrespectful to my master and Immortal Master. Tell me, what crime do you deserve?"
"Oh, I don't understand. I hope Martial Uncle will tell me. "
"You said Immortal Master is dead. How come I don't know?"
"Last year, Immortal Master passed away, but Martial Uncle didn't know about it?"
"Nonsense, Immortal Master was still fine a few months ago. You said that he passed away last year. . . "
"How dare you!" Before Lin Yuchen could finish his words, Duanmu Loongchou shouted. He raised his hand and made a grabbing gesture in the air. Instantly, a chilly wind blew and balls of true qi rolled out.
This time, Lin Yuchen could clearly feel it. There was no way he could resist it at all. Just like that, Lin Yuchen leapt in front of Duanmu Loongchou and was strangled by his neck.
"Stinking brat. You don't know the immensity of heaven and earth. " Duanmu Loongchou said maliciously, "How dare you pretend to be Immortal Master's disciple and play with him? We, you really don't know how the word 'death' is written. "
"No, the person who doesn't know how the word 'death' is written should be you. " Veins popped out on Lin Yuchen's forehead, and his face turned red from holding it in. As he tried his best to break Duanmu Loongchou's fingers, he stammered, "I am your Martial Uncle. "
"Humph!" Duanmu Loongchou smiled coldly. "Immortal Master, with your status, why would he take you as his disciple?"
"Didn't I say it before? He looked at his son right in the eye. They shared the same interests. He regarded martial arts as his life, and so did his father. Besides. . . No matter what, I'm a dignified young master of the Sword Sect. Why can't I become his disciple? Your Martial Uncle!"
"You still know that you are the young master of Sword Sect? Lin Chenghou killed my master, and you are Lin Chenghou's son. Your Sword Sect has an irreconcilable enmity with my One-Line Mountain. "
" I am me, my father is my father. " Without waiting for Duanmu Loongchou to finish his words. . . He took me in, not my father. It was me who bowed to him. It's not like the entire Sword Sect has bowed to me. Besides, what was Immortal Master thinking? How would I know? How would you idiots know? As for you. . . You are proficient in forbidden techniques, conspiring to usurp power. . . Harming fellow disciples, colluding with treacherous officials. You have disrespected Immortal Master, and now you want to offend your superiors. Killing me to silence you? Do you think that no one can punish you just because you have cultivated the Absorbing Arts Great Style? Do you think that you can deceive everyone with your words? Do you really think that he is dead just because you said that Immortal Master is dead? You are lying to yourself. As long as Immortal Master is still alive. . . As the Sect Master, don't even think about being at peace. "
" I. . . "Before Lin Yuchen could finish his words, Duanmu Loongchou's face was filled with shock. He suddenly let go of Lin Yuchen and took a few steps back. He repeatedly said," You, you, have you been to One-Line Mountain before? "
"Hmph!" Lin Yuchen smiled coldly and said, "Immortal Master has come and gone without a trace. He has always been elusive. Do you think he has always been in the Central Plains?" Seeing this reaction, the rock in Lin Yuchen's heart finally fell. Duanmu Loongchou believed it. He was completely stunned by his "nonsense. "
In fact, to be honest, it wasn't all Hu Zou. In such an occasion, and in front of so many people, Whenever Lin Yuchen made a mistake, it would be magnified to the extreme. But at the same time, if he didn't throw out some "dry goods," Duanmu Loongchou would never believe him.
If Lin Yuchen's guess was right, the reason why Duanmu Loongchou let him go and the reason why he was so shocked was most likely because of these two words. Duanmu Loongchou saying that Immortal Master was dead was a complete lie to Lin Yuchen, and the two words' Lin Yuchen 'were also a gift to him.
Duanmu Hongcheng. Duanmu Hongcheng was in the prime of his life when he died, and it happened so suddenly that no one had arranged anything behind him. Under such circumstances, whoever became the Sect Master and framed him for usurping the throne would not show any signs of fear.
Also, this Duanmu Loongchou was the one who first started cultivating the Forbidden Absorbing Arts Great Style. After that, he colluded with the Yang family and led the group down south. This time, there were all sorts of things. There was definitely an opposition in the Skyhill School, and this was unavoidable. Especially the matter of the Absorbing Arts Great Style, it was a huge taboo in the Heavenly Mountain. If there was opposition, there would be conflict. If there was a conflict, there would be casualties. Furthermore, it was obvious that Duanmu Loongchou wasn't a kind person. Therefore, he would definitely kill his fellow disciples with a hundred percent accuracy.
The two of them were testing each other. Lin Yuchen had won this battle. Furthermore, Lin Yuchen had made an even bigger discovery.
"You shouldn't be called Duanmu Loongchou, right?" Lin Yuchen said.
"This?" Duanmu Loongchou and the group of One-Line Mountain disciples were stunned.
"You, how did you know?" Before Duanmu Loongchou could say anything, Helian Zeyi asked.
Lin Yuchen smiled and looked at Helian Zeyi, then turned to Duanmu Loongchou. "I can't remember your name. But I remember that your name was. . . Yes. Your surname is Helian. Helian. What's that again?"
" Helian Yuan Yan. " Duanmu Loongchou replied.
"Oh, right, right. " Lin Yuchen quickly replied with a look of realization. He secretly let out a long sigh of relief in his heart. This Duanmu Loongchou was able to say his real name, and he had such an expression on his face. It seemed like he had completely believed him. This Martial Uncle of his was finally able to sit still.
Actually, it was not hard to guess. Duanmu Loongchou, a word "revenge" could explain everything. How many parents in the world would use the word "revenge" to name their children?
Also, this group of Heavenly Mountain disciples called Immortal Master San Yi the 'old sect master'. They called Duanmu Hongcheng the 'sect master', but called this Duanmu Loongchou 'seated'. Duanmu Loongchou also called Duanmu Hongcheng "Master. " Duanmu Loongchou had a strong personality, similar to the people in unmarked common graves. He would take revenge for what he had done, and he would return what he had done for him. This man was willing to risk the world's heinous crime by cultivating the Absorbing Arts Great Style. He even colluded with the Yang family, all for the sake of avenging Duanmu Hongcheng's death.
Lin Yuchen guessed that this man must have changed his surname to "Duanmu" after Duanmu Hongcheng's death and named himself "Loongchou. " As for this person's surname, "Helian," this was even more of an unexpected joy.
Helian Zeyi was not very old, less than 20 years old. He was the same age as Lin Yuchen and might even be younger than Lin Yuchen. His seniority should not be high, but he was the first one to jump out and test Lin Yuchen's identity. The fact that he dared to do so and did so indicated that his status in the Mount Tian Sect was extraordinary.
Judging from Helian Zeyi's personality and his way of doing things, this man didn't have a deep relationship with the world, and he had a single personality. Not to mention, he had the ability to see through all kinds of things. From this, it could be seen that the relationship between Helian Zeyi and Duanmu Loongchou was not simple.
However, Lin Yuchen wasn't completely sure. After all, this was a matter of great importance. That was why Lin Yuchen pretended to recall Duanmu Loongchou's original name. In fact, he was deliberately observing the expressions of the two of them.
