Chapter 764 Returning to the Old Taoist
However, what does this great restraint shown by the other party really mean? Considering all factors, it seems very likely that the other party is a friend.
Ru Long knew very well that he couldn't let his opponent get too close. Because if they got too close, his room to maneuver would shrink. Before deciding to fight to the death, he decided to test his opponent's reaction first. So, Ru Long said in a deep voice, "Murong Feng is my master."
Upon hearing this, the masked man suddenly stopped, seemingly deep in thought. After a moment, he nodded thoughtfully, then continued to slowly approach Rulong.
Seeing this, Ru Long immediately shouted, "Don't come any closer! Otherwise, I'll fight you to the death! You should know that Murong Feng's disciples are not to be trifled with! They have the ability to fight you to the death."
Upon hearing Ru Long's words, the masked man indeed stopped in his tracks. He remained silent for a moment, seemingly deep in thought.
Ru Long pondered to himself, even if the other party wasn't an enemy, if he directly told the masked man that Murong Feng was dead, the man might think he had lost his backer and thus become unscrupulous in killing and robbing. It would be better to use Murong Feng's name to suppress the other party, which might give him more security.
So, Ru Long composed himself and said, "My master was slightly injured before, but he has recovered. After bringing me to the Immortal Realm, he appeared and disappeared as usual, and I don't know where he is now. My master values me very much, not only teaching me many skills, but also giving me his Three-Slash Sword. This sword is my master's most cherished possession, and he rarely shows it to others. Therefore, if you dare to harm me, my master will definitely not let you off!"
The masked man, upon hearing this, harbored some doubts and dared not easily determine whether Ru Long's words were true or false. After all, based on his previous analysis, Murong Feng was highly likely to have gone to the Immortal Receiving Continent. Moreover, the passage from the Immortal Receiving Continent to the Immortal Realm was probably destroyed by Murong Feng, and the Three-Slash Sword should also be located on the Immortal Receiving Continent. So, how exactly did Ru Long arrive in the Immortal Realm? The more the masked man thought about it, the more convinced he became that Ru Long had most likely been brought to the Immortal Realm by Murong Feng.
Furthermore, the fact that Ru Long possesses so many cultivation techniques scattered across the Immortal Connecting Continent, along with the Twelve Zodiac Swords, greatly increases the likelihood that Ru Long originates from the Immortal Connecting Continent. However, this is not absolute, as there is also the possibility that Murong Feng came to the Immortal Realm, and the Three-Slash Sword just happened to fall into Ru Long's hands.
Faced with such a perplexing situation, the masked man found it difficult to draw a conclusion easily. The only way to unravel this mystery was through soul searching. However, this method was extremely risky; the slightest mistake could damage Yakuza's soul, triggering a series of unpredictable consequences. Worse still, if Yakuza chose to fight to the death, the consequences would be unimaginable.
The masked man was no ordinary person; his true identity was the commander of the emperor's secret guards in the Great Qin Dynasty. Due to his special duties, he remained hidden in the shadows, and few knew his true face.
However, with the destruction of the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty by the Great Chu Immortal Dynasty, the masked man lost his support and had no choice but to go into hiding. As the saying goes, true masters hide in plain sight, he cleverly concealed his cultivation level and even founded his own sect, becoming the Guiyi Daoist of the Guiyi Sect.
Since Ru Long was very likely from the Immortal Receiving Continent and was a disciple of Murong Feng, what was his purpose in coming to the Guiyi Sect? This puzzled the old Daoist Guiyi greatly. Although the old Daoist Guiyi couldn't attack Ru Long, what if everything Ru Long said was a lie? After all, Ru Long's true identity and intentions had not yet been confirmed. He might not be a friend, nor an enemy, but perhaps even someone from the Great Chu Immortal Dynasty.
Thinking of this, Master Guiyi couldn't help but feel doubtful. Had he inadvertently revealed his identity? Or was it possible that he might be exposed? Faced with such a complicated situation, Master Guiyi began to consider whether he should imprison Rulong to prevent any potential threat he might pose.
