Chapter 1432: Xiao Zheng’s Expectations

Xiao Zheng laughed, with excitement in his eyes, and said, "Take me to see him."

Xiao Jingde gave Xiao Zheng a strange look and said, "You want to ’invite’ him out of the mountains?"

He emphasized the word "invite."

Xiao Zheng said, "Yes."

Xiao Jingde said mockingly, "Being able to defeat me shows your strength is not bad. Being so young shows you’re a genius. A strong genius, naturally proud. But if you think you can defeat Zuo Longyi just because of this, then you’re not a genius, but an idiot."

Xiao Zheng neither affirmed nor denied, and said, "If I don’t try, how will I know?"

Xiao Jingde shook his head and sneered, "Then I’ll take you there."

Taking Xiao Zheng over, and letting Xiao Zheng be defeated, he wouldn’t have to leave here.

It’s a very worthwhile thing to do.

...

...

Zuo Longyi was deep in the valley.

Before even approaching there, the sound of thunder could be heard, because there was a waterfall there, cascading down from a high cliff, like the Milky Way descending from the heavens.

On the flat ground beside the waterfall, the green grass was lush, with an open-air mat placed there.

Under the starlight, one could see a person sitting cross-legged on the mat.

He was very young, but his hair was white.

He sat cross-legged there, his eyes closed, with a faintly satisfied smile on his face, as if such cultivation was a great pleasure.

When Xiao Zheng and Xiao Jingde arrived, more people had already gathered behind them.

These people were also hidden elder cultivators.

Just now, they sensed the commotion on Xiao Jingde’s side and awakened from their cultivation. After figuring out what had happened, they became excited and followed Xiao Zheng here.

"It’s truly rare, someone dares to challenge Zuo Longyi, the strongest in our deep valley."

"He wants to invite Zuo Longyi out of the mountains to fight against the other races, how naive and cute."

"Geniuses have always been like this, believing they are destined, that they can achieve anything. Weren’t we like this in our youth too?"

"..."

The hidden elder cultivators following Xiao Zheng were whispering.

They generally don’t like to meddle in others’ affairs.

But this matter was different.

It’s very likely that Zuo Longyi would engage in a fierce battle with Xiao Zheng.

For this group of hidden elder cultivators in retreat, it was a good opportunity to see just how far Zuo Longyi’s cultivation had reached now.

...

...

Under the night sky, on the grass, beside the waterfall, Xiao Zheng had a faint smile on his lips, cupped his hands slightly and said, "Greetings, Senior Zuo."

Zuo Longyi, with his eyes closed and a satisfied smile on his face, showed no reaction.

He was immersed in his cultivation, completely ignoring Xiao Zheng.

Xiao Jingde and the hidden elder cultivators all laughed.

It seemed Zuo Longyi did not regard Xiao Zheng as anything significant.

Xiao Zheng’s expression did not show the slightest hint of dissatisfaction, and he said seriously to Zuo Longyi, "I came here to invite Senior Zuo out of the mountains, to help Huaxia."

The hidden elder cultivators behind him all had mocking smiles upon hearing this.

No one would leave this deep valley for such a reason.

What Xiao Zheng said was too naive.

Sure enough, Zuo Longyi continued to sit with closed eyes and a smile on the mat, completely ignoring Xiao Zheng, treating him like air.

Xiao Zheng remained unperturbed, patiently saying, "The Blood Clan and Werewolves are powerful, with many Martial Saints. Although Huaxia has many martial cultivators, there are few top-tier experts. Only someone like Peak Martial Saint like Senior Zuo can reverse the situation."

Zuo Longyi still showed no reaction.

The hidden elder cultivators behind watched Xiao Zheng with laughter, finding him quite amusing.

Some called out, "Evil God, don’t waste your efforts. You can’t wake him."

Others deliberately raised their voices, "Leaving the mountains is impossible, not in this lifetime."

The crowd burst into laughter, the atmosphere around the grass was filled with merry air.

Xiao Zheng frowned slightly.

This group of hidden elder cultivators irritated him.

Xiao Zheng turned around and looked at them, his gaze becoming sharp, and coldly said, "Shut up."

Boom!

An aura of pressure spread out.

At that moment, everyone felt a sudden chill, shivering involuntarily.

They fell silent immediately.

Only then did they remember, since Xiao Zheng had defeated Xiao Jingde, he could naturally defeat them too.

Xiao Jingde sneered, "A bunch of cowards."

The hidden elder cultivators, upon hearing this, angrily sneered, "Better than being a tagalong."

Xiao Jingde raised his eyebrows, emitting a murderous aura.

He was not a match for Xiao Zheng.

But that didn’t mean he wasn’t a match for this hidden elder cultivator.

"Heh."

Yet that hidden elder cultivator wasn’t afraid, sneering, "Did I say anything wrong? A dignified hidden elder of the Qingcheng Sect, yet now trailing behind a greenhorn out of fear, it would be laughable if word got out."

Xiao Jingde was so angry his face turned red, stepping forward, ready to strike.

Xiao Zheng raised his hand for Xiao Jingde to halt, then looked at the hidden elder cultivator with a blank expression, and said, "Later, I’ll have you accompany me out as well."

The hidden elder cultivator was stunned, then his expression became rather interesting.

If he had known, he would not have spoken so much.

Xiao Zheng ignored these hidden elder cultivators, turned to look at Zuo Longyi, a cold glint flashing in his eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Senior Zuo, since you won’t take the toast, then you’ll have to have the penalty drink."

The hidden elder cultivators were extremely shocked.

This Evil God actually dared to make a move against Zuo Longyi?

Seemingly sensing hostility, immersed in his cultivation, Zuo Longyi’s eyelids trembled slightly and he opened his eyes.

Those eyes were very clear, full of vitality, just like his face, appearing very young.

But everyone knew, Zuo Longyi was not young, he was at least seventy years old.

Martial artists of high proficiency can maintain youthful looks.

But this requires an extremely profound level of mastery.

This indicates something very terrifying.

Zuo Longyi’s strength had reached an unfathomable level, beyond imagination.

Xiao Zheng was slightly surprised.

Not because of Zuo Longyi’s youthful appearance, but because of his eyes.

After so many long years, his eyes were still as clear as a baby’s.

That’s a very frightening thing.

This indicates he has a pure heart for Martial Arts.

And purity represents strength.

Xiao Zheng’s expression instantly became somewhat grave, and he said, "You’re finally awake."

Zuo Longyi looked at Xiao Zheng, curiosity in his eyes, like a child examining something novel, then he laughed and said, "You want to invite me out of the mountains?"

Xiao Zheng nodded, "Yes."

Zuo Longyi said, "I refuse."

Xiao Zheng said, "If you refuse, then I’ll take you out."

The meaning of "invite" and "take" are naturally different.

Zuo Longyi laughed, "It’s been a long time since I’ve met such an interesting young person."

Xiao Zheng said, "Then you’re very lucky, you meet one now."
