Chapter 40 Xu Kou

Xu Kou looked directly at Zhang Yuelu, unyielding and even aggressive.

Sun Yongfeng lowered his head slightly, feeling gloating in his heart.

This deputy hall leader is not a soft persimmon. If you want to try her skills, I'm afraid you will suffer some hardships.

However, if the prestige of the deputy hall master is reduced, senior leaders like them will also be happy to see the result.

Regardless of the outcome, they will not suffer.

After a moment, Xu Kou asked: "Can't the deputy hall master's decision be questioned?"

Zhang Yuelu did not get angry and said calmly: "Of course, you can reserve your opinion, but you must obey the decision. I know that you are from Qizhou Daofu. The master of Qizhou Daofu, Master Qingwei, appreciates you and thinks highly of you. I even like your style, but this is not Qizhou Daofu, and I am not your palace master."

Xu Kou laughed: "Master Qingwei must not think so."

Zhang Yuelu suddenly looked at Sun Yongfeng and asked: "Master Sun, who has the final say on this Yaoguang Pavilion? Is it the Tiangang Hall? Or the Qizhou Taoist Office?"

Sun Yongfeng coughed lightly: "This... is of course Tiangang Hall, but after all, Master Qingwei is one of the thirty-six Masters of Shenzhi, and is expected to become the next deputy headmaster of Taiping Dao. Naturally, he is not comparable to ordinary palace masters... …Even Master Zhangtang must respect Master Qingwei’s opinion.”

Zhang Yuelu snorted coldly, looked at Qi Xuansu again, and asked, "Tianyuan, what do you think?"

At this time, Qi Xuansu understood why Zhang Yuelu needed a confidant so urgently, and immediately said: "This is a very interesting question. To be honest, Deputy Hall Master, I have discussed this issue in private with Chief Sun."

Sun Yongfeng was stunned. He had no idea when he had discussed this issue with Qi Xuansu, and he didn't think it was interesting or even meaningful. He just thought it was ridiculous.

Zhang Yuelu remained calm and asked, "So what's the result of the discussion?"

Qi Xuansu deliberately said: "My and Director Sun's views are a bit deviant, because...we both feel that Tiangangtang has the final say. We also know that we are only a minority and cannot represent the opinions of the majority."

Zhang Yuelu said with a faint smile, "Very good, now you are the majority."

After saying that, Zhang Yuelu glanced at everyone.

Everyone lowered their heads, not daring to refute, but did not agree, obviously knowing how powerful this Master Qingwei was.

Qingwei Zhenren, Donghua Zhenren and Cihang Zhenren are the top three among the thirty-six Zhenzhi Zhenren. They can be regarded as the second-largest figures in the three major factions after the three deputy leaders Da Zhenren, and are expected to become The next deputy head master, Da Zhenren, even within the Taoist sect, these three real people are called "little national master", "little earth master" and "little heavenly master" respectively.

This situation was not beyond Zhang Yuelu's expectation. She asked Qi Xuansu to be able to establish authority and convince the public. In fact, this was also what others asked of her. The great master on duty promoted her to the position of deputy hall leader, which was not without a test. It means that if Zhang Yuelu can seize the opportunity, he will naturally rise to the top. If Zhang Yuelu cannot seize the opportunity, he will lose everyone.

This is just the beginning, just mixed with sand, far from being serious.

Zhang Yuelu looked at Xu Kou: "If Master Qingwei intervenes in the affairs of Tiangang Hall as the Master of Jinque Council and asks me to take back this decision, I can only obey. The key is, can you please move Master Qingwei?" Or are you saying that if you use the name of Qingweizong to raise a banner, I will be afraid of you? "

Xu Kou was slightly startled, realizing that he had underestimated the deputy hall master.

Zhang Yuelu continued: "I still say what I said, this is not Qizhou Daofu, and you are no longer a member of Qizhou Daofu, but a member of Tiangang Hall. If you really have a huge backer, go and invite him. If you can’t come, just obey the orders, it’s that simple. You just need to answer, you understand or you don’t understand.”

Xu Kou was silent for a moment and said slowly: "Understood."

Zhang Yuelu still looked at him: "Then what else do you want to say?"

Xu Kou stretched out his hand to hold down the hilt of his sword and said in a deep voice: "I remember that Donghuang once made a rule that Xuandu Yujing could not help but compete in a duel. I have heard for a long time that the deputy hall master is famous, and today I want to ask the deputy hall master Ask for advice."

Qi Xuansu frowned and found that things were gradually starting to deviate from his expectations.

It is not a secret that Zhang Yuelu is in the stage of returning to his true form. It can even be said that everyone knows that Xu Kou still proposed to challenge Zhang Yuelu even though he knew Zhang Yuelu's level of cultivation. He was obviously well prepared.

Qi Xuansu had a bold guess in his mind.

It's true that Xu Kou looked down on him, but he didn't necessarily show it so openly. Maybe he came here for Zhang Yuelu, because he was promoted by Zhang Yuelu under special circumstances, and deliberately acting like this was just an excuse to take advantage of the situation.

Of course, Qi Xuansu also had his own considerations. He was not angry because of Xu Kou's attitude, but felt that if he gave in too much, he would appear cowardly and difficult to convince the crowd, so he took the initiative to ridicule him. If his guess was true, then Xu Kou was right. Kou's plan.

After hearing this, Zhang Yuelu took a deep look at Xu Kou, and purple energy flashed in his eyes.

Xu Kou said in a deep voice: "Since I am the 'Immortal Wangqi', the deputy hall master should know my cultivation level. May I ask, deputy hall master, am I qualified to ask you for advice?"

Zhang Yuelu said: "Since he is a martial artist in the stage of returning to his true form, he naturally has this qualification."

Sun Yongfeng, Qi Xuansu and others were all shocked.

Because Xu Kou's file clearly states that he is a warrior in the flesh-and-blood derivative realm, corresponding to the Yuxu stage, but Xu Kou deliberately concealed his weakness. His own cultivation has already reached the return to the true stage, which is the realm of the warrior's mind connecting the heavens.

Qi Xuansu finally understood why Xu Kou was able to capture a member of the Qingping Society's second-class member. He should have been a fourth-rank Taoist priest, not a sixth-rank Taoist priest.

In terms of realm alone, Xu Kou and Zhang Yuelu are not much different.

Xu Kou asked: "I wonder if we will fight with weapons? Or fight with bare hands?"

Zhang Yuelu said lightly: "You don't have to try to provoke me. I can tell you clearly that in order to make you lose convincingly, I will not use that semi-immortal item."

Xu Kou's eyes were a little deeper, and he said softly: "That's great."

Qi Xuansu didn't understand why Zhang Yuelu was so unreserved. If she lost to Xu Kou, then within half a day, this matter would spread throughout Xuandu. The reason why she could be the deputy hall master was because of the support of the great immortal and her status as a banished immortal. If she failed to establish her authority, it would be difficult for her to continue as the deputy hall master.

Is she so sure of victory?

Or is she too conceited?

At this moment, Zhang Yuelu waved his sleeves, signaling everyone to retreat and leave enough space.

Qi Xuansu could only retreat with him, but he was still a little worried about Zhang Yuelu. He had experienced the tyranny of martial artists. Zhuge Yongming's punch made him drink soup for half a month. He did not doubt the strength of Zhang Yuelu, a genius. He was just afraid that Zhang Yuelu had been held in high esteem for too long and would eventually be defeated by his own carelessness.

Xu Kou took off his sword and threw it aside, then put on an authentic boxing stance, which was the "Five-Direction Fist" of the Taiping Dao, the best method.

"Five directions" refers to the east, west, south, north, and center. This fist is divided into five parts. Each part is a medium-level method when taken alone, and when combined together, it is a high-level method. Its power should not be underestimated.

Zhang Yuelu glanced at Xu Kou and said in a deep voice: "Go ahead."

Generally speaking, seniors will speak in such a tone when feeding juniors with moves. Zhang Yuelu's words undoubtedly mean that he does not regard Xu Kou as an equal opponent.

Even Xu Kou, who is quite scheming, also looked gloomy and was really angry. However, the more angry he was, the calmer his mind became. If you think he is a reckless man who can only use brute force, you are wrong. How can a reckless man capture the leader of the Qingping Society?

Whether Zhang Yuelu is too conceited or has a sure win will soon be revealed.

Xu Kou took a step forward seemingly without any rules, and a circle of dust visible to the naked eye spread out immediately.

Qi Xuansu's face changed slightly.

Xu Kou's upper body did not move at all, but his feet exerted force. If this place was not the clean Yaoguang Pavilion, but some other place, the small stones on the ground would be shaken up.

What Qi Xuansu could not see was that there were already tiny cracks under Xu Kou's feet. You should know that the floor tiles of Yaoguang Pavilion are not ordinary bluestones, but extremely hard special stones. Ordinary swords and knives may not leave any traces on them.

The next moment, Xu Kou relied on the force of his feet to leave half a footprint on the ground, and his figure rushed straight to Zhang Yuelu like an arrow from a string.

Sun Yongfeng thought to himself that if he faced this punch, he could only avoid it for the time being. If he faced it head-on, he would probably suffer a big loss.

But Zhang Yuelu just stretched out a palm and took Xu Kou's punch lightly.

Compared with the fist that seemed to be tempered by thousands of hammers, the fingers like spring onions seemed particularly delicate, but it made Xu Kou's face change drastically, and even sweat oozed from his forehead.

The huge contrast made this scene reveal a bit of funny and absurdity.

"The 'Western Golden Fist' in the 'Five Directions Fist' is interesting." Zhang Yuelu didn't have any murderous intent, but Qi Xuansu could clearly see the upward arc of her mouth, revealing a hint of teasing that she didn't intend to hide.

It seemed that the Supreme Taoist Ancestor, Nanhua Taoist Lord, and Xuansheng had played a big joke on Xu Kou.

Qi Xuansu could now conclude that Zhang Yuelu was definitely not too conceited.

Sun Yongfeng had a look of astonishment on his face. As a fourth-grade Taoist priest, he was still like this, let alone the others.

Lingquanzi, who had not spoken all this time, had a solemn expression on his face and slowly said, "Is this the 'Six Void Tribulations'?"

Xu Kou only felt that his entire arm was completely numb, but he had honed his cultivation from the line between life and death, and he had a fierce

strength. He refused to admit defeat and suddenly swept his leg towards Zhang Yuelu's lower body.

Zhang Yuelu did not dodge or give way, and a five-color aura emerged around him.

Xu Kou's kick was like landing on a ball of cotton, without any force. The true qi made his fists and feet not touch Zhang Yuelu at all, let alone hurt Zhang Yuelu.

Xu Kou's pupils suddenly contracted.

Sun Yongfeng and Ling Quanzi said in unison: "'Five Qi Smoke Net'."
