Chapter 69: 69

Guan Zhen cursed on the spot when he heard Daoist Spiritual Master Yunxiao’s words.

However, Daoist Spiritual Master Yunxiao laughed instead of being angry.

“Guan Zhen, do you dare to say that you didn’t do it?”

It seemed like the matter was true upon listening to Daoist Spiritual Master Yunxiao’s eloquent questioning.

Many disciples believed it.

After all, many people had seen Guan Xiaoyu and Lin Qi walking together with their own eyes.

The people of Yanhui Peak naturally recognized Guan Xiaoyu, Guan Zhen’s daughter.

There were even many people who liked Guan Xiaoyu.

Many people were jealous regarding this matter.

Guan Zhen was already in a raged state at that moment.

The Daoist Spiritual Master Yunxiao was the sect master of the Baiyun Sect, and at the same time, he was his senior.

Guan Zhen would tolerate it if he bullied him for something.

However, how could he tolerate it now that Daoist Spiritual Master Yunxiao had slandered his daughter?

“Yunxiao, don’t try to accuse without proof. I, Guan Zhen, have always had a clear conscience. I will never do such a thing!”

Many disciples nodded slightly upon hearing Guan Zhen’s words.

Everyone could see how their master usually dealt with things.

That didn’t seem like what Guan Zhen would do.

But Daoist Spiritual Master Yunxiao was still confident. He sneered and said, “How could you have taken Lin Qi as your disciple if you didn’t use your daughter as bait?”

“In terms of strength, status, and resources, I can’t defeat you, Guan Zhen, in any way.”

“I can give Lin Qi the best cultivation techniques and even the best treasures.”

“What else can you, Guan Zhen give Lin Qi other than your daughter?”

The veins on Guan Zhen’s forehead had already popped out upon hearing that.

Indeed, Guan Zhen could not compare to what the Daoist Spiritual Master Yunxiao could give in terms of resources.

But Daoist Spiritual Master Yunxiao had insulted his daughter.

Guan Zhen had to fight for her reputation and his rage.

“Resources? Hmph!”

“I, Guan Zhen, am willing to give the Chaos Yuan Heaven and Earth Umbrella to Lin Qi. Are you willing to give it to him?”

Everyone was shocked when they heard Guan Zhen’s words.

The Chaos Yuan Heaven and Earth Umbrella.

Not to mention Baiyun Sect.

Even the other righteous sects of the Central Plains had heard of that name.

After all, this was a rare treasure that Guan Zhen had used himself.

Not to mention that it was the only one, even its outstanding battle achievements were enough to shock the world.

And Guan Zhen was willing to give the Chaos Yuan Heaven and Earth Umbrella to Lin Qi.

That was indeed a big deal.

Daoist Spiritual Master Yunxiao was stumped at that time.

It wouldn’t be surprising if Lin Qi were willing to join Yanhui Peak if Guan Zhen was willing to give such a treasure to Lin Qi.

Then, the accuse of his daughter seducing Lin Qi would naturally fall apart.

They had to say that Guan Zhen had indeed put in a lot of effort to protect his daughter’s reputation this time.

However, Guan Zhen also believed that Lin Qi was worth it!

He could retire peacefully and enjoy his old age with a talent like Lin Qi joining Yanhui Peak.

…

Daoist Spiritual Master Yunxiao was slightly stunned, seeing that Guan Zhen put in so much effort. Then, he stroked his beard and said proudly, “The Chaos Yuan Heaven and Earth Umbrella? It’s just so-so.”

The disciples were also curious upon hearing that.

What would Daoist Spiritual Master Yunxiao give Lin Qi if he even said that Chaos Yuan Heaven and Earth Umbrella was just so-so?

That fight had become a battle of pride to compete with the assets they had.

And Daoist Spiritual Master Yunxiao naturally could not accept losing to Guan Zhen in terms of assets.

“Senior Yunxiao, since you could say that. What can you give Lin Qi?”

Guan Zhen sneered.

He knew that Daoist Spiritual Master Yunxiao had nothing better to offer in terms of weapons.

In other words, Daoist Spiritual Master Yunxiao would be reluctant to give Lin Qi something better.

However, Daoist Spiritual Master Yunxiao was willing to give it to Lin Qi.

“The disciples of our Baiyun Sect have always practiced the sword. I’m willing to give the Sky-Scraping Sword to Lin Qi!”

The disciples gasped upon hearing that.

The Sky-Scraping Sword!

That was the supreme treasure of the Sky-Reach Peak.

Because that Sky-Scraping Sword was the divine weapon that Daoist Spiritual Master Yunxiao used when he was young.

Although Daoist Master Yunxiao no longer used this sword, everyone knew how precious this immortal sword was.

It was because that sword was hanging in the Shanhe Hall of the Sky-Reach Peak!

The Treasure of the Hall!

Even Guan Zhen’s lips could not help but twitch in such moments.

That old man was willing to give the Sky-Scraping Sword to Lin Qi.

It seemed that he wanted to hand over the Baiyun Sect’s sect master position to You Yilin as soon as possible.

However, Guan Zhen definitely couldn’t lose even though this matter was a battle of who was superior.

A sect master and an elder competing in front of a group of disciples to give a new disciple treasure was a big scandal!

However, Guan Zhen had to win since his daughter was involved!

At the same time, Guan Zhen wanted to compete for Lin Qi to be his disciple.

“Humph, the disciples of the Baiyun Sect do mostly practice the sword, but how do you know if Lin Qi likes the umbrella or the sword?”

Guan Zhen’s words were not without reason.

Just because everyone liked to practice swordsmanship, it did not mean that Lin Qi prefered to practice swordsmanship.

It was not necessarily true that the sect leader’s Sky-Scraping Sword was better than his Chaos Yuan Heaven and Earth Umbrella.

Then, Guan Zhen changed the topic.

“Lin Qi is one of the best among the new generation of disciples. He will participate in the upcoming Sect Competition of the Central Plains.”

“It’s said to be a competition of martial arts, but swords could hurt someone easily.”

“I, Guan Zhen, am willing to give Lin Qi the Black Gold Kirin Armor. What can you, Yunxiao, give?”

The Black Gold Kirin Armor!

That was the soft armor that Guan Zhen always wore.

It was said that one would be invulnerable as long as they wore the Black Gold Kirin Armor.

It would be difficult to hurt even a single hair of the wearer, no matter what kind of immortal weapon one used to attack.

Unless the wearer met someone extremely powerful and used overwhelming strength to attack, only then would it be possibly damaged.

All the disciples looked at Daoist Spiritual Master Yunxiao in unison.

According to the previous trend o battle, it was his turn to give out something.

“Humph, what is the Black Gold Kirin Armor?”

“Lin Qi, this kid, is handsome and has an extraordinary temperament. What does he look like when he wears heavy armor?”

All the disciples frowned slightly.

The Black Gold Kirin Armor was soft. Rumors said that it was only seven or two taels of weight. How could it be considered heavy armor?

However, what he said next made everyone agree that the armor was ‘heavy’.

Daoist Spiritual Master Yunxiao took off his Daoist robe on the spot and said proudly, “What do you think of this Boundless Heaven and Earth Robe compare to your Black Gold Kirin Armor?”

Some disciples were already looking at each other.

Obviously, they did not recognize this robe.

However, Guan Zhen knew what it was.

That was because this Boundless Heaven and Earth Robe was a supreme treasure that the previous sect master personally gave to Daoist Spiritual Master Yunxiao fifty years ago.

And now, Daoist Spiritual Master Yunxiao wanted to give the treasure given by his master to Lin Qi!
