Chapter 203: Bigger Fish

Chapter 203 Bigger Fish At the gate of the Punishment Court, someone saw the two men coming back from afar. They turned around and ran into the courtyard, shouting, "Shi Chun and Wu Jinliang are back, Shi Chun and Wu Jinliang are back..." Dozens of people, tall and short, fat and thin, from each room immediately ran out. The fat Pang Tiansheng came out and shouted, "What are you yelling about?" The messenger came up to him and reiterated, "Uncle Fat, Uncle Chun and Uncle Wu are back." There is no way. Shi Chun and Wu Jin are of high seniority in Wukang Mountain. They are disciples of Elder Ke and are of the same generation as Pang Tiansheng. Pang Tiansheng: "Everyone knows that you're back, why are you yelling?" The messenger: "No, it's coming this way, towards our Penal Court." Pang Tiansheng rebuked, "What nonsense are you talking about, they..." Before he could finish his words, he looked towards the gate and was stunned. He saw Shi Chun and Wu Jinliang rushing in leisurely. The big sword Wu Jinliang was carrying was particularly conspicuous. No one in the Punishment Court had ever seen Wu Jinliang's broadsword. The last time he was captured and taken to the mountain, he left all his weapons at the inn. This knife made Pang Tiansheng tremble with fear, it was scary just looking at it.

The last time I was beaten by these two, their strength was still weak. This time I heard that they both broke through to a high level of martial arts, and they came with weapons. If they really start fighting, won’t they beat me to death? He was deeply impressed by the two men's style of attacking at any time, which was impossible to defend against. He was a little confused. Why did these two people come here when they had made such great contributions? Still living here? Impossible. Come to reminisce about the past? You probably don't have a good impression of the Penal Court, right? He thought of the only possibility, that they were here to settle the score with him, and his legs suddenly felt weak. "Uncle Chun, Uncle Wu." "Uncle Wu, Uncle Chun." "Junior Brother Chun, Junior Brother Wu..." There were also people of the same generation. In short, the smiling faces that were not seen in the past were now blooming towards the two people who returned with honor. With smiles of admiration and envy, in their eyes, what happened to Shi Chun and the other two was just like a legendary story that they could only imagine day after day: defeating all the heroes in the world one day, and then returning like a hero, gaining the respect and admiration of the entire sect. The imagined self-entertainment scene was actually realized by someone in a realistic way, and it was realized by two people who were far inferior to them. While I am envious, I also admire their courage in realizing this legendary story. He fought a decisive battle with the top master among Su Yuanzong's elite disciples and made thousands of Xuanzhou's men run around in circles. This cycle repeated day after day and they really couldn't imagine that there would be such a person around them. That is a story that should only happen to the most talented people in the vast world of cultivation. How could it happen to the people around us? But it really appeared, right before their eyes. Seeing the big guys they hadn't seen for a long time, Shi Chun and the others also smiled. They swept their eyes across the crowd and saw the fat and conspicuous Pang Tiansheng who was forcing a smile, the square-faced Zou Xingbao, the horse-faced Duan You, and all the familiar faces they had seen before were there. Boom! Wu Jin slammed his two swords heavily on the ground. "Are we still staying in the original room? It's not occupied, right?" Everyone looked at each other. No one responded, so Wu Jinliang shouted, "Fat Senior Brother, what do you mean? I'm asking you a question. Which room do you live in?"

Pang Tiansheng was really unable to move, so he asked with gritted teeth: "You still live here?" Wu Jinliang: "Where else should we live?" All right, Pang Tiansheng turned around and shouted, "The hero of Wukang Mountain is back, why don't you help me vacate my room?" Shi Chun and the other two were stunned, feeling both surprised and understandable. The scene immediately became busy, and soon the best room was cleaned up. Shi Chun and the other two were not polite either. They said that they should live in the best room in the Punishment Court. Is there any problem with that? After the two checked in, a group of fellow disciples immediately surrounded them and asked them to tell the story of the Meteor Rain Conference. Wu Jinliang is good at being eloquent and boastful. He starts talking as soon as he slaps his thigh, vowing to leave a legendary story that will last for a long time in Wukang Mountain. Pang Tiansheng had no intention of listening. After calming down the two worried people, he immediately ran to find the sect leader and his master. When they arrived at the place, they were unable to see him for a while. After returning, Bian Jixiong and others immediately discussed matters with the sect's top leaders, informed them of the incident, and discussed the next steps to take. There was no way. The threats secretly issued by Wu Handong, the great elder of Jieyun Mountain, were still fresh in their minds. How could they not take it seriously? They were not Shi Chun and the other two. Inside the meeting hall, the elders were all in a very heavy mood, and those cheering for the first place were the disciples who did not have to worry about the future of the sect. Now, they don't even have the energy to investigate Bian Weiying's disobedience. It is not easy to investigate him openly. He has made great contributions to the sect. What reason can they use to hold him accountable? In private, when they were still in the royal capital, Bian Jixiong had already scolded Bian Weiying severely. Faced with Bian Weiying's unreasonable arguments, he even couldn't help but resort to violence and slapped Bian Weiying in the face. Even Yin Huixin didn't protect her and scolded her daughter for being stupid. Bian Weiying did not tell Shi Chun and the others about this. After waiting for a long time for the discussion to end, it was already approaching evening. Seeing the master coming out to abduct, Pang Tiansheng immediately chased after him, nagging like a follower, "Master, is it inappropriate to let Shichun and the other two live in my punishment courtyard?" Hearing this, Bian Jixiong paused. He was full of worries before, and only now did he remember this little matter after being reminded. However, he changed his mind and realized that he really didn't know which department to place Shi Chun and the others. Then they are not real disciples of Wukang Mountain. It is not appropriate to let them interfere in matters concerning the internal affairs and secrets of Wukang Mountain. After thinking for a while, he asked, "Do the two of them have any complaints about living in the Penal Court?" Pang Tiansheng: "I haven't heard of any complaints so far, but Master, they both have a grudge against me. If they stay in the Punishment Court, something bad might happen!" "What could possibly happen?" Bian Jixiong started walking again. "You're overthinking. Let them stay there for now." Pang Tiansheng was anxious and kept chasing after them, "Master, I heard that they dared to kill people in front of the royal court, let alone in the Punishment Court..." Bian Jixiong interrupted, "Okay, just stay away from it." I have more important things to deal with and don't have time to chat with him about this. Pang Tiansheng stopped and was speechless. After a long while, he turned around dejectedly and walked back with heavy steps. As a result, he was stopped on the way. "Fat Master, where have you been? It's really hard for me to find you. Master Bian Weiying is looking for you. Please come over." Well, Pang Tiansheng turned to Bian Weiying again. Bian Weiying didn't bother to be polite with him. He directly instructed, "Brother Pang, I heard that Shi Chun and the others are still in your Punishment Court. Starting tomorrow, do the same as before and ask them to fetch water from me."

"Ah, let them fetch water?" Pang Tiansheng was startled and waved his hands hurriedly, "No, no, they are meritorious officials now, and they are only temporarily staying in the Punishment Court. How can we let them do miscellaneous work? If I say that, they will beat me to death. By the way, Junior Sister, I am in a very dangerous situation now, you can't just stand by and watch me die..." He spoke out his concerns in a rush. Seeing that this useless guy was really useless, Bian Weiying simply used him as an excuse and went to the Punishment Court in person to help this fat senior brother. Given their close relationship, Shi Chun naturally had to give face and promised not to beat Pang Tiansheng again. But there are some favors that cannot be given, and we will never accept asking them to do odd jobs or fetch water. Shi Chun knew very well what this woman liked to do behind her back when no one was around. This was not just fetching water, it was clearly asking her to go and have a drink of water. He didn't like having his will tested all the time, it was very uncomfortable. If Pang Tiansheng dares to ask them to do odd jobs again, he will beat them. Bian Weiying gave him an annoyed look and left, thinking about making a pair of mother-child talismans to give to Shi Chun for easy contact. In the sect’s forbidden area, the old man in a white robe sitting cross-legged in meditation looked like a stone sculpture. He was the previous sect leader, Bian Que. Not far behind him, Bian Jixiong knelt down and reported the relevant situation. He sighed and said, "What should we do now? It's not easy to kill him, and the people in Jieyun Mountain may cause trouble at any time." Bian Que in white robe said: "Judging from the results of the Sky Rain Meteor Conference, it is outrageous. I don't believe that such results can be achieved without the intervention of the devil. It seems that the devil is more rampant than we imagined, and dares to be so open. The reason we didn't move them before was to find out who the traitor hiding in the mountain was. There is still no clue as to who the person Shi Chun is looking for. He is hidden too deeply. Now that things have come to this point, it is impossible to keep Weikang locked up forever. He is the future of the Bian family and the future of Wukang Mountain. He cannot be forced into ruin. Get ready to act. Once we have captured Shi Chun and the others, we will see if we can pry open his mouth and dig out the traitor. We will then try to eradicate all of these evildoers!" Bian Jixiong said worriedly, "These demons may not be as simple as the few people on the surface. If there are many powerful people behind them, I, Wu Kangshan, may not be able to handle it alone. Father, we should make more preparations." White-robed Bian Que: "With my own strength, how dare I go against the Demonic Path? I will naturally contact the Royal Court for help. Once the Royal Court takes action, it will be as powerful as thunder. Even if Jieyunshan has a hundred guts, they will not dare to act rashly. If they are misunderstood as the Demonic Path's accomplices, no one can protect them." Bian Jixiong's eyes lit up, "Father is very smart. This way, the dilemma will be solved, and we won't have to explain anything to those offended forces." The dark cloud that had been lingering in his heart recently finally dissipated, and his mood suddenly became brighter. Late at night, those who had been pestering Shi Chun and others to listen to stories finally dispersed and went back to their rooms to rest. Wu Jinliang stood under the eaves and looked at the night sky, then jumped onto the roof to look at the bright lights of Wukang Mountain, with a look of deep thought and concentration between his brows. After returning to the house and closing the door, he saw Shi Chun sitting cross-legged in meditation, so he immediately went over to sit down and whispered, "Chun Tian, ​​why did we come back? This place won't give us any resources for cultivation, nor will it give us any benefits. In the capital, with the support of Master Nan, we should have taken the opportunity to force Bian Jixiong to let us leave the sect. Now if Wu Kangshan blocks us from leaving, can we still betray our master? This is a taboo in the cultivation world, and no force will condone this trend. " Shi Chun: "Don't worry, if you want to quit, I can find a way to quit at any time. You have to take the benefits you deserve before you leave. You can't come here in vain." Wu Jinliang: "What, you're still thinking about the secret method of refining the immobilization talisman? Isn't that thing useless once you leave Wukang Mountain?" Shi Chun: "Have you forgotten how I broke through my cultivation? There may be a bigger fish hiding here. How can I be content if I don't come back to check it out?" Wu Jinliang suddenly understood and realized his intention. (End of this chapter)
