“Whew!”

In the distance of thousands of miles away from Qishan shot a bright light from the sky.

Soon after,the flash stopped abruptly.

“Right here.”

The light descended directly from the air, and then the light weakened and there appeared two figures—it was Yu Zhencheng and Ling Changkong.

Ling Changkong got out of the control of Yu Zhencheng as soon as he landed. He looked around, frowning slightly, and asked Yu Zhencheng, “Senior, where is this place?”

At this time, they were in front of a hill, which was beautiful but a bit desolate. Ling Changkong could not understand why Yu Zhencheng brought him here.

Of course, he did not think that Yu Zhencheng would kill him, but he was sure that what Yu Zhencheng was going to do would not benefit him. So he had better figure it out first and be vigilant.

“Senior? Are you still calling me ‘senior‘?”

Yu Zhencheng did not answer Ling Changkong, but frowned slightly and his cold eyes swept across Ling Changkong and it seemed to see through him.

Hearing what Yu Zhencheng asked, Ling Changkong’s heart was filled with a burst of doubt. How could he not figure the meaning of Yu Zhencheng’s words? Whether Yu Zhencheng was sincere in taking him as his disciple or not was very doubtful!

Since it was not sincere, now thousands of miles far away from Qishan, why did Yu Zhenchen still continue to act? Ling Changkong was very confused.

However, for all that, he absolutely would not expose. He immediately made a suddenly enlightened appearance, bowed to Yu Zhencheng with respect,and said, “Ah, I was so impolite. Meet my Master.”

As if he had only just remembered it.

“For the first time, I do not blame you. Do not do it again!”

Seeing Ling Changkong for a while, Yu Zhencheng finally drew back his sight, waved his hand,and said, “You asked where is it, right?”

“Yes.” Ling Changkong nodded slightly with respect.

After saying that, Yu Zhencheng began to make finger gestures with his hands during incantations and made mudra.

When mudra was made,he waved his big sleeves towards the hill and beat the incantations out.

“Hum.” The space around the hill rose and fell in waves, and soon the hill vanished into the air, to be replaced by a lofty and beautiful peak.

“Magic array?!”

Seeing this scene, Ling Changkong was surprised. He had seen sword array, even some simple arrays. It was the first time to see the magic array.

Although the magic array and the sword array were both special types of arrays, they were far more complex and powerful than the arrays of the same rank.

“Merely a magic array, there is nothing amazing. As long as you work hard enough, and break through to Emperor Realm, you can also create a magic array just with your hands like me.”

Compared with Ling Changkong’s surprise, Yu Zhencheng did not care, smiled faintly, and said to Ling Changkong. He seemed to have taken Ling Changkong as his disciple, and began to teach him.

“Let’s go in.”

Yu Zhencheng said so, and walked straight toward the beautiful peak.His pace seemed to be a little unsteady, but it was very fast, making it unclear.

Ling Changkong dared not to be careless. He knew Yu Zhencheng could easily pinch him to death, so he did not attempt to escape, but closely followed behind Yu Zhencheng and walked inside.

“What is the purpose of Yu Zhencheng? I clearly feel his intention to kill me, but he deliberately hides it. He is clear that he has no intention to take in disciples, but accepts me persistently.”

When entering the beautiful peak, Ling Changkong thought secretly, looked around at the same time,and memorized the environment, which might be useful to him in the future.

In an instant, Ling Changkong followed Yu Zhencheng and came to a cliff.

“My cave is up there.” Yu Zhencheng looked up at the cliff. It seemed to be talking to himself, or to explain something to Ling Changkong.

Ling Changkong looked up, and the sun light reflected. He could not help but narrow his eyes. But this side of the cliff was very smooth, and there was not a hole, not to mention a cave-dwelling.

“Go up.”

When Ling Changkong was puzzled, he suddenly felt that he was pushed by a huge power. He was shot to the top of the peak instantly.

“It is Yu Zhencheng, terrible, who is about to hit the cliff!”

It was just a moment when Ling Changkong realized only Yu Zhencheng had such strength that could push him up. Of course, only Yu Zhencheng would do so. But when he was more and more close to the cliff, his pupils contracted naturally. Hurriedly,he protected his head with both arms.

“Bang.” Ling Changkong didn’t hit the cliff. Instead, he fell on the cliff and sprawled on his belly.

“Huh? I didn’t hit the cliff. It is a hidden but beautiful spot. What I saw was also a magic array.”

Thinking of this, Ling Changkong collected himself. He got up quickly and looked around. A dark passage led to an unknown depth.

“Ha ha, quick reaction. But looking at your posture of covering head, you should have been beaten in Qishan. But only a waste, who will pay attention to him? Who will not bully him?”

Yu Zhencheng’s voice came again, and he had come to the side of Ling Changkong,with eyes glistening, coaxing Ling Changkong .

“But if you learn from me, it will be completely different. Not only I teach you the method of martial arts you can practice, but also help you to break through to the Emperor Realm. You will never be bullied by others.”

Sure enough, hearing what Yu Zhencheng said, Ling Changkong’s look turned solemn.

He seemed to remember that he was used to be bullied by Liang Mingzhi and others. But instantly he turned bright, excited, and seemed to really believe Yu Zhencheng’s words.

“Thanks, Master.” Ling Changkong saluted to Yu Zhencheng with respect.

“Uh, well, we first go back to the cave. I will teach you the method of martial arts to help you open the road of cultivation as soon as possible.”

Seeing Ling Changkong so behaved,Yu Zhencheng nodded with satisfaction,waved his big sleeves, and said with a little excitement. He seemed keen to do so.

“Damn!”

Yu Zhencheng might not have noticed something abnormal, but Ling Changkong noticed it. His eyes flickered. He thought that Yu Zhencheng divided his relationship with Qishan School, and threw a huge temptation, and completed a good show for camouflage.

Expectedly, Yu Zhencheng betrayed himself in the heat of the moment.

“It is false the old geezer accepts me as his disciple, but it may be true that he wants me to practice that method of martial art. Otherwise, with his strength of Emperor Realm, why should he pretend to do so.”

Following Yu Zhencheng to the depths of the cave, Ling Changkong eyes flickered, and he secretly thought, “He should have hardly waited so that he got to Qishan to grab people. And therefore, he had betrayed himself just now.”

Later, Ling Changkong was curious: “But what martial art it is that makes Yu Zhencheng do so? What is special about this method? He even asked me to practice…”

Then he began to worry: “Will it do me harm… Well, this should not be. The method should be conducive to the friar. As for its harm, only after the achievement of the method, Yu Zhencheng would ask me to bear.”

“Anyway, now my strength is not comparable to Yu Zhencheng’s. I even have no chance to escape.I should practice this method first and wait for the opportunity… ”

So thinking and hoping, Ling Changkong followed Yu Zhencheng and finally came to the deepest part of the path.
