Chapter 798: Chapter 795: A Vengeful Person Must Get His Revenge Chapter 798: Chapter 795: A Vengeful Person Must Get His Revenge The young girl on the Stepping Sea Boat initially only planned to join in on the excitement, but unexpectedly got caught up in a sudden incident. Seeing the pitch-black chain heading straight for her, she panicked to the point of not knowing what to do, even forgetting to dodge.

Just when both the girl and her boat were about to be pierced by a single strike, a green light suddenly shot over from the direction of Mount Putuo, reaching the girl almost instantly, and stood in its way.

Within the green light, a young man with an ordinary face and a slender figure appeared. He raised a palm as white as jade in a flat push, and a white halo lit up in the centre of his palm.

The Zhui Tou at the end of the chain fiercely hit his palm, emitting a loud “bang”.

There was a gust of wind around his body, a ripple effect rippled through his body, his clothes fluttered, and his black hair fluttered backward. Yet, his body didn't move an inch. Even the water surface under his feet only stirred up a light ripple.

“Wei… Uncle Master, thank you, Uncle Master Wei Qing.” The pretty young girl realised belatedly, and hurriedly thanked him.

“Quickly go back.” The young man named Wei Qing spoke without looking back.

Hearing his words, the girl hurriedly navigated her boat towards the main island of Mount Putuo, leaving as if escaping.

Wei Qing glanced at the two people in front of him, who were still entangled with the Array chain. He slightly furrowed his brows and was about to move forward when a green light suddenly lit up from the seabed. Following that, the dull sound of mechanical winding came to him.

“It's closed…” He murmured and stopped moving.

Shen Luo had noticed the commotion here just now, told Bai Xiaotian, and they both flew over here together.

“Thank you for your help just now, Daoist friend.” Shen Luo bowed his fist towards him.

“There's no need for formalities. It seems the two of you are Daoists from other gates attending the “Immortal Apricot Conference”?” Wei Qing waved his hand and asked.

“Exactly, I am Shen Luo, appointed by the Government of the Great Tang Dynasty.”

“I'm Bai Xiaotian, a disciple of the Hua Sheng Temple.”

Shen Luo and Bai Xiaotian each gave a brief introduction.

“I am Wei Qing. Since you are both visiting Daoists, there should have been disciples to guide you. How could you interplay with the mechanism?” Wei Qing asked with a puzzled look.

“This…” Shen Luo and Bai Xiaotian exchanged a knowing glance. They didn't know how to explain for the time being.

“Master Wei, Master Wei…” Just then, a rapid cry came from a distance.

The three of them turned their heads to look at the same time and saw a silhouette soaked through and through, looking like a drowned chicken, stepping on a blue Flying Sword, hurriedly heading towards them. It was Wuming.

“Brother Shen, Daoist Bai, I sincerely apologize. It's all my fault. I momentarily lost my vigilance and the Stepping Sea Boat hit a reef. It caused you two to mistakenly trigger the Array mechanism. Please forgive me.” Wuming hurriedly explained and bowed deeply to the two of them.

Shen Luo and Bai Xiaotian remained stoic, watching this performance coldly.

Wei Qing on the side was frowning, and he could already tell from the reaction of Shen Luo and the others that something was amiss.

At this moment, an elderly man wearing a grey long robe flew over from a distance and landed beside them.

“Little Brother Wei is also here, huh? What happened just now? Why was the water beard Array invoked?” The man greeted Wei Qing first upon seeing him and asked.

“Elder Yu, I think you should let Wuming explain.” Wei Qing returned the greeting, suggesting.

Elder Yu raised an eyebrow, looked at Wuming, and the latter had no choice but to retell the previously mentioned incident.

After hearing his explanation, Elder Yu hesitated a little, then said: “Since you did not intend for this to happen, we will not pursue the matter this time. But you still need to apologise to our two Daoist friends.”

“Brother Shen, Daoist Bai, I sincerely apologise for my negligence this time, I hope you can forgive me.” Wuming bowed as soon as he heard it, saying.

Shen Luo and Bai Xiaotian exchanged glances, neither of them spoke.

“Since Martial Friend Wu has apologized several times already, and we were not injured, let's let it slide this time. I believe Martial Friend Wu will be more careful in the future, so as not to inadvertently harm others.” As the atmosphere was gradually turning awkward, Shen Luo finally spoke.

“Won't, won't…” Wu Ming was saying, his teeth gritted.

“Since there's nothing else, shouldn't you guide our Daoist friends to Leisure Valley for registration and accommodation?” Elder Yu glanced at Wu Ming and said.

“Yes.” Wu Ming responded.

“Never mind, you can return to Star Island. I myself will lead these two Daoist friends to Leisure Valley.” Suddenly, Wei Qing spoke.

“Younger Brother Wei, you are an elder of the sect. This is not proper…” Elder Yu hesitated.

“There is no need to trouble Uncle Master Wei. I will surely escort these two Daoist friends wholeheartedly.” Wu Ming was already sweating profusely and quickly spoke.

Shen Luo and the other were somewhat surprised.

“Let it be like this then. These two Daoist friends, please follow me.” Wei Qing said, raising his hand. A blue flying shuttle appeared in front of him.

“We are much obliged.” Shen Luo and the other thanked him, then boarded the flying shuttle.

The three took off directly into the sky, flying towards the main island of Mount Putuo.

“Are you acquainted with that Wu Ming?” After flying a hundred feet, Wei Qing directly asked.

Shen Luo pondered briefly. Seeing no reason to hide it, he said directly, “We met in the vicinity of Chang'an, and we did have some friction.”

“So he deliberately made things difficult this time?” Wei Qing asked.

“Well…” Facing such direct questioning, Shen Luo was somewhat at a loss for words.

“Wu Ming's talent isn't exceptional, but his family is prominent and he has some connections within the gates of Mount Putuo. His narrow-minded nature might create problems in the future. It would be best for you to keep your distance.” Wei Qing already seemed to have his answer and continued.

“Thank you for your advice, elder.” Shen Luo discerned Wei Qing's good intentions and responded.

“Just call me Daoist friend. We are probably about the same age.” Wei Qing said.

“Daoist friend… Wasn't Elder Yu just calling you Senior Brother?” Shen Luo asked, puzzled.

“I am one of the senior elders of the sect and I have accepted a closed-door disciple. As a result, my status has been greatly elevated. As you are not disciples of Mount Putuo, you do not need to worry about these details.” Wei Qing explained.

As they spoke, they landed on the ground. Buildings have been built along the coast beneath them. The closer they got to the central mountain of the island, the denser the houses became.

However, Wei Qing did not seem to intend to land at this point. Instead, he controlled the flying shuttle and headed towards the mountain area, eventually landing at the entrance to a valley formed by two mountain ridges.

The protruding wall of the valley bore the three calligraphic characters “Leisure Valley”.

“The disciples from different sects who are participating in the Immortal Apricot Conference will be temporarily staying in Leisure Valley. Come with me to register at the Affairs Pavilion in the valley, and then you can choose a residence there.” Wei Qing spoke.

“Thank you.” Shen Luo and Bai Xiaotian expressed their thanks again.

The group then walked along the blue stone path into the valley. Along the way, they encountered many mortals performing menial tasks in the valley. When they saw Wei Qing, they surprisingly did not show any fear. Instead, they greeted him warmly, each calling him “Immortal Master Wei”.

Wei Qing responded to each of them in return. He was not overtly warm, nor did he seem remotely distant, appearing quite natural.

This left Shen Luo and Bai Xiaotian somewhat astonished.
