Chapter 287: Chapter 137: The Great Dao has No Gate, the Void is a Dead End (Seeking Subscriptions)_3

Seeing the fearsome straw-cloaked figure, all the disciples choked on the flattering words that would usually flow easily from their mouths.

"Heavenly Gang Wuji!"

Gu Wuji burst forth with Qi-Blood, stepping out in mysterious and unpredictable footsteps to meet the straw-cloaked figure’s strange moves.

The straw-cloaked figure felt secretly shocked and angry, "It’s Quanzhen Dao again."

His Luo Sect actually had deep-seated enmity with Quanzhen Dao.

Back when Quanzhen Dao flourished, claiming to be the number one sect under the heavens, even the Luo Sect was suppressed to the point of submission.

The key issue was Wang Chongyang, who was extremely detestable. Not only did he defeat the top experts of the Luo Sect at that time, he also debated with the senior leaders of the Luo Sect at their Main Temple, and after seven days and nights, several senior leaders of the Luo Sect died from exhaustion and defeat in the debate, depleting their essence qi.

For the Luo Sect, having their doctrines refuted was much more severe than being defeated in Dao skills or Martial Arts.

After that debate, the Luo Sect nearly fell apart and took nearly a hundred years to recover their Essence Qi.

And they learned from that, no longer standing out as much and focusing on developing branches as worldly agents.

This is also why successive Sect Hierarchs of the Luo Sect liked to cultivate Divine Separation.

Using the main sect as the body, many smaller branches were developed, and as a Sect Hierarch, they liked to produce Divine Separations to share risks.

Moreover, sending powerful individuals from the sect to develop branches also reduced the internal consumption of the main sect.

In fact, for the Chongyang True Master of Quanzhen Dao, the conflict with Luo Sect didn’t leave much of an impression in his life.

Because at that time, Chongyang True Master’s debate targets were not limited to the Luo Sect, but all the famous Daoist lineages he could find. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have mastered the essence of all three schools: Confucianism, Daoism, and Buddhism.

Thus, Chongyang True Master was not intentionally targeting Luo Sect.

But after a peck and a drink, the later disciples of Quanzhen Dao were incompetent and were also argued into collapse by high monks of the Esoteric Sect, resulting in them falling apart, and the main sect ultimately dissipated into the dust of history. However, many roots and branches of Quanzhen Dao still remain in the world today, but they are no longer as prestigious as before.

The straw-cloaked figure didn’t know Gu Wuji’s background, but his current condition wasn’t suited for prolonged fighting. After a dozen rounds, the straw-cloaked figure realized that there was no chance of determining a winner in a hurry. After exchanging a hard slap with Gu Wuji, he flew backward and landed on a nearby rock, standing as if riding on the wind.

While Gu Wuji crushed the ground beneath his feet, raising dust, and naturally spat out a mouthful of blood breath.

A real expert wouldn’t make the same mistake twice.

Ever since that encounter with Xu Qing, where he forcefully suppressed his injuries, causing a psychological shadow, Gu Wuji had become much more pragmatic.

The blood that needed to be spat out had to be expelled, otherwise, he would be the one to suffer in the end.

Fortunately, the dust provided cover, and the disciples didn’t notice.

This was also a method Gu Wuji had anticipated in advance, and now it came in handy.

The enemy is the best teacher.

Not to mention Xu Gongming’s personality and learning, Gu Wuji now deeply agreed with his practical theory of applying knowledge to the real world.

The straw-cloaked figure stood on the rock, stabilizing his Qi-Blood, and laughed with the wind, "Sir, you must be Gu Wuji, the venerable Mr. Gu of the True Gang Sect. I’ve long admired your reputation; it’s fortunate to meet you today."

After Gu Wuji inadvertently revealed his Martial Arts foundation, the straw-cloaked figure recognized him and quickly pieced together the information he had to deduce his identity.

Now, Gu Wuji harbored even deeper hatred towards the straw-cloaked figure for pointing out his foundation when he himself knew nothing of the straw-clothed figure’s identity, wasn’t it embarrassing him in front of his disciples?

Did he even care about the Sect Leader’s face?

At this moment, in Gu Wuji’s heart, Xu Gongming wasn’t as detestable as the straw-cloaked figure in front.

"Demon Evil Path, don’t expect to form a relationship with Gu. All disciples listen to my command, help me capture this demon-person."

Gu Wuji reprimanded loudly.

The straw-cloaked man: "..."

He was thinking of forming a connection and getting to know Gu Wuji.

Why doesn’t this man follow the norms of the worldly society?

Just because he injured a disciple of his?

Is it really necessary? It’s not like Gu Wuji of the True Gang Sect is known for cherishing his disciples.

But seeing Gu Wuji gather his Qi-Blood again, the straw-cloaked man sighed secretly and had to give up.

The straw-cloaked man threw a marble, which hit the ground.

Bang!

Immediately, a sinister black mist erupted.

Amid the spreading smoke, the disciples of True Gang Sect didn’t dare to act rashly, each secretly relieved, gathered around Gu Wuji, looking loyal and protective of their Sect Leader.

Afraid of acting too late and being sent by the Sect Leader to chase after the demon!

While Gu Wuji secretly relieved to see the straw-cloaked figure leave.

He was scared of losing, although this time he felt he was evenly matched with the straw-cloaked figure, perhaps even having a vague advantage, but he didn’t want to risk the one in ten thousand chance!

"Master was right, even if I practice Refining Internal, I can only compare with the heroes of the world." Gu Wuji felt somewhat dispirited and naturally began to reminisce about his days heading south from North Zhili, dominating his way through.

"Sect Leader, what should we do next?"

"Regarding today’s events, speak of them to no one."

Gu Wuji felt somewhat shamefaced.

If word got out, he couldn’t even go out to fish without encountering some unknown expert and fighting on equal terms; could True Gang Sect afford to lose such face?

Moreover, he thought that with Xu Gongming’s rising fame recently, perhaps this expert was here for Xu Gongming. If this news got out, it might alert Xu Gongming to be cautious.

He was a meticulous person, and with these thoughts, he regretted that he should have talked more with the opponent just now.

The disciples, oblivious, returned with Gu Wuji to the mansion. As for the disciple whose Qi-Blood had been drained by the straw-cloaked figure, he was directly carried back.
