Chapter 129: Zhen Yuanzi Protects Luo Shu
I saw a figure floating down to the ground, emitting a powerful aura.
As the fairy light gradually dissipated, the figure gradually revealed its true appearance.
I saw an exquisite purple-gold crown on its head, which was inlaid with sparkling gems and sparkled with mysterious light.
He was dressed in a black Taoist robe embroidered with complicated runes and glowing with a faint light, appearing solemn and majestic.
A ribbon is tied around the waist, fluttering in the wind, adding a touch of elegant and ethereal temperament.
Luo Shu, who was standing not far away, realized the moment he saw this figure that the person in front of him was Zhen Yuanzi. A hint of joy flashed in his eyes and he felt relieved in his heart.
However, Ran Deng on the opposite side became furious when he saw someone interrupting his attack.
He saw that it was Zhen Yuanzi who interrupted him. Although he was dissatisfied, he calmed down when he thought that Zhen Yuanzi was a quasi-saint in the late stage who had killed the Three Corpses.
But he still asked in a deep voice, revealing a bit of displeasure:
"Zhen Yuanzi, why did you interrupt my attack?"
Zhen Yuanzi did not respond to Randeng's words immediately. He turned his gaze to Luo Shu beside him, and a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes.
He looked at Luo Shu deeply, as if he wanted to confirm something, and then he spoke slowly:
"My dear friend Luo Shu, is what you said really true?"
Although his voice was calm, the concern and expectation contained in it were self-evident.
When Luo Shu heard Zhen Yuanzi's words, he knew that Zhen Yuanzi had carefully read the jade slip he had given him, and judging from his current mood, he probably believed in it.
Because, that jade slip contained a piece of information about Ancestor Hongyun.
Luo Shu straightened his clothes which were a little messy due to the conflict just now, then walked forward, bowed to Zhen Yuanzi, and replied respectfully:
"I, Luo Shu, pay my respects to the Immortal Zhenyuan. Everything I say is true, not a single word is false."
Zhen Yuanzi stared at Luo Shu. Seeing Luo Shu's serious expression and the firmness in his words, he was very excited. He nodded slightly and said:
"My dear friend Luo Shu, can you come with me to Wuzhuang Temple to discuss this matter in detail?"
When Luo Shu heard Zhen Yuanzi's invitation, he was delighted. This was a good time to establish a relationship with Zhen Yuanzi.
But we still have to solve the problem of lighting the lamp first.
So, Luo Shu took a deep breath and calmed himself down.
He smiled and replied respectfully:
"Since you have invited me, I will accept it. However, I still have some things to do, so I am afraid it will be difficult for me to go to Wuzhuang Temple with you immediately."
Before he finished speaking, Luo Shu turned around and looked at the Taoist Master Ran Deng opposite him.
After hearing what Luo Shu said, Zhen Yuanzi showed a look of understanding on his face. He gently waved his hand at Luo Shu, his voice calm but full of power:
"My dear Luo Shu, don't worry too much. No one dares to act wildly in the territory of Wanshou Mountain. Just relax, I will take care of everything."
There was an unquestionable confidence in his words.
Zhen Yuanzi's words made Luo Shu feel safe at this moment and dispelled the doubts and anxieties in his heart.
Just as Luo Shu was about to respond to Zhen Yuanzi's kindness, a sharp and cold voice suddenly broke the silence.
Taoist Master Ran Deng walked out from the side, staring at Zhen Yuanzi and Luo Shu with a sharp gaze, his tone filled with unquestionable majesty:
"Fellow Daoist Zhen Yuanzi, Luo Shu has a grudge against the Chan Sect. How can you protect him? You should follow me now to capture him and hand him over to the Chan Sect for disposal!"
After hearing what Master Ran Deng said, Zhen Yuanzi frowned slightly, turned around, faced Master Ran Deng, and spoke slowly:
"Randeng, I don't care what grudges your Chan sect has with little friend Luoshu. I will tell you clearly now that little friend Luoshu will be a guest of honor at my Wuzhuang Temple from now on."
When Master Ran Deng heard what Zhen Yuanzi said, his face suddenly darkened and he felt confused. He didn't understand why Zhen Yuanzi was so nice to Luo Shu.
Although Master Ran Deng did not know the specific reason, he guessed that it must be related to the jade slip that Luo Shu had given to Zhen Yuanzi before.
What exactly was recorded on that jade slip, and why did Zhen Yuanzi attach so much importance to it? Taoist Ran Deng was filled with doubts and curiosity.
At this moment, an indescribable emotion surged in his heart, a mixture of unwillingness and anger.
"Zhen Yuanzi, do you really want to make enemies with our Chan Sect just for the Luo Shu?"
The Taoist Master Ran Deng asked coldly, his tone full of threats and provocations.
Zhen Yuanzi smiled gently, and that smile contained calmness and deep confidence, as if everything was under control.
A hint of determination flashed in his eyes, and he responded in a calm but unquestionable tone:
"My friend Luo Shu and I have a connection, so I will do my best to protect you. Besides, can you represent the Chan Sect? Even if you can, I have to say this: if you dare to attack him, you will be my enemy."
Zhen Yuanzi's voice echoed on the top of Wanshou Mountain, full of majesty and power.
After hearing Zhen Yuanzi's words, Master Ran Deng's expression suddenly became more solemn.
His brows were furrowed, and his eyes moved back and forth between Zhen Yuanzi and Luo Shu, as if he was weighing the pros and cons.
He was aware of Zhen Yuanzi's status and strength, and also understood the weight of these words.
Now, Zhen Yuanzi openly stood on Luo Shu's side and uttered such cruel words, which made him feel that his face was greatly challenged.
A strong feeling of anger and unwillingness surged in his heart. He felt that he could not bow his head so easily, otherwise how could he survive in the wilderness.
Taoist Burning Lamp took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, and then slowly spoke with a hint of coldness in his voice:
"Zhen Yuanzi, you and I were both attending lectures at Zixiao Palace, so we are considered friends. I don't want to make things too awkward. Do you really want to intervene in today's matter?"
He paused for a moment and continued:
"The matter of Luoshu is a personal grudge between my Chan Sect and him. Why do you have to wade into this muddy water?"
He tried to provoke Zhen Yuanzi with words, hoping that he would give up.
However, Zhen Yuanzi remained unmoved and just glanced at him indifferently, as if he had seen through his thoughts.
When the Taoist Master Ran Deng saw this, he became even more angry. He knew that today's matter could not be resolved peacefully.
So he responded coldly:
"Well, since you insist on protecting him and making enemies with my Chan Sect, I will report this matter to the Jade Purity Saint. The Jade Purity Saint will personally question you about your crimes, and you must bear the consequences."
After hearing this, Zhen Yuanzi still maintained a calm smile on his face, as if these threats were not worth mentioning to him at all.
"You don't have to worry about this. If Saint Yuqing really comes in person, I will deal with it myself." Zhen Yuanzi said calmly.
"Do you have anything else to do? If not, hurry up and leave Wanshou Mountain. You are no longer welcome to my Wanshou Mountain from now on."
Although Zhen Yuanzi's tone was calm when he said this, the warning and determination contained in it were self-evident.
When Master Ran Deng heard what Zhen Yuanzi said, his already gloomy face became even more like dark clouds. His brows were furrowed and his eyes flashed with cold light.
He took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and said in a deep voice:
"Humph, if I just leave like this, wouldn't it be too embarrassing? Today, I must fight with you, so that I can personally feel the difference between you and me."
When Zhen Yuanzi heard the provocative words of Master Ran Deng, a leisurely smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
He turned around, his eyes fell gently and firmly on little friend Luo Shu, and said slowly:
"My dear Luo Shu, please step aside and wait for a moment. I will discuss with Randeng and then take you back to Wuzhuang Temple to talk."
Hearing this, Luo Shu nodded and said softly:
"Senior, please be careful."
After saying that, he stepped aside and watched the battle quietly.
At this moment, Master Ran Deng had already assumed his stance, with a sharp light flashing in his eyes.
Zhen Yuanzi stood there leisurely, his eyes as calm as water.
The atmosphere between the two of them suddenly became tense, as if a big war was about to break out.
However, Zhen Yuanzi did not rush to take action, but nodded slightly and signaled to Master Ran Deng.
His voice was calm and powerful: "Fellow Daoist Randeng, please."
Taoist Master Ran Deng snorted coldly, moved his body, and attacked Zhen Yuanzi.
