How come this name sounded quite strange.
That chubby guy became stunned at first, and he shouted: “Tan Zhongchi? Who is that? Among the sixteen great Elders, this name does not exist! Could you be a disciple of one of the Butlers?”
That horse-shaped guy also laughed drily: “It is a rare thing for a disciple of a Butler to be capable of entering the Virtuous Cloud Mountain Range. Yet, this name does sound very shabby, Tan Zhongchi, haha…”
However, that young man who had remained silent frowned as if he was thinking about something. He moved his lips as if he was trying to speak. Yet, he did not speak at all after glancing at Qin Wushuang.
That horse-shaped guy waved his hand: “Kid, since your teacher is not an Elder, then you should know your place better. Even if we beat you up, you have nowhere to voice your discontent.”
“This way, you three are disciples of some Elders?” Qin Wushuang could hardly believe it. Such bastard disciples that had never heard the name of the Second Palace Master actually existed. Even more, they dared to call the name “Tan Zhongchi” shabby.
If his teacher had heard these words, he would have slapped them into oblivion.
Qin Wushuang also observed that young man who seemed to have realized something. From his expression, he did not appear to be working well with the other two. Although he was in the same group, obviously he had different opinions.
That chubby guy slapped his waist and gave a strange shout as his entire body of fat trembled: “Kid, stop with the nonsense, give us all the good stuff. If they are nice things, you will suffer less. Or else, humph!”
Smiling casually, Qin Wushuang nodded and took out that Upper Sky blade. He threw it on the ground leisurely where the blade had stuck into the earth all the way up to the handle.
Qin Wushuang had instilled the combat sword with his Spiritual Qi, and as a result, it emitted a strong buzzing sound. After the sword penetrated deep into the earth, the body of the blade still kept trembling and emitted a sharp cry.
“The good thing I have is this battle blade. If you three think you have the skills to take it, you can do as you want!” Qin Wushuang said with a light tone.
A trace of surprised flashed across that silent young man’s face. He looked at Qin Wushuang with astonishment. Apparently, he had seen through the depth behind his move, the strong presence caused him to shudder in fear. Although he had tried to conceal his presence, Qin Wushuang had released a trace of unsuppressed temperament.
Upper Sky!
When these two words emerged suddenly, another wave of surprise appeared in the eyes of the young man.
On the other hand, the other two exchanged a glance. Naturally, they had also felt a trace of the strange presence slightly. Only because of their senseless characters, they could not react.
That young man asked in a small voice: “I dare to ask, could the teacher you spoke the Second Palace Master?”
Qin Wushuang could not help but laugh. Could it be that the name of his teacher had remained confidential to such extent? Among these three, two of them genuinely had no idea, and the other one was only guessing. Until now, he was unsure either.
In the Stargaze Palace, almost no one would talk about the names of the five Palace Masters. Even Palace Masters themselves would hardly ever mention the names of one another.
Of course, disciples of these Five Palace Masters knew the names of their teachers. However, usually, these people all trained in the mountain and rarely did they meet. Even if they did interact, they could not talk about the names of their teachers.
At most, those disciples of the Shakyamuni and the Elders would only know the surname of their teachers. They would rarely mention or talk about the exact names.
As for Palace Masters, they would only follow the crowd and call them “Head Palace Master,” “Second Palace Master.” They could not even know the surnames.
Hearing the question from this young man, the color on both the horse-shaped and the chubby guy had changed. Showing a sickly face, they all looked at Qin Wushuang nervously and could not help but take two steps back.
Qin Wushuang shook his head with a bitter smile: “I thought I could not use the name of my teacher. It seems someone still knows about it.”
As soon as he had said these words, with a miserable cry, that chubby-guy fell to the ground. In fact, His little heart could not bear such reality. Before Qin Wushuang had made a move, he had already fallen backwards.
That horse-shaped guy said stutteringly with a mud-like face: “Second…Second Palace Master? Your teacher?”
“You don’t believe it?” Qin Wushuang sneered, “By any chance, you can go to the Green Cloud Palace and ask.”
Unable to form any proper sentences, the horse-shaped guy said: “No…No need for that. This…”
As if he had seen ghosts, his expression appeared incredibly strange. Looking left and right, that chubby guy had already collapsed. And the other young man had evidently appeared not in the same boat as him.
In fact, he could not find a single person to bear this pressure after looking around.
Now, Qin Wushuang kept sending out his Upper Sky presence. Sensing the strong wave, the teeth of that horse-shaped guy could not help but chatter. Like a sifting tool, his entire body trembled.
“What’s wrong? This battle blade is an Upper Sky weapon.” Qin Wushuang sneered.
He had sent out his presence to specific targets. A moment ago, that young man did not threaten nor did he act viciously. It seemed that he only shared the road with these two, and not his mind. Thus, he did not aim his Qi at that young man.
However, to that horse-shaped guy, Qin Wushuang did not show mercy. He did not plan to use violence to hurt him. By using the Upper Sky Qi as a mental punishment was many times more severe than punishing the body.
It was complete torture.
Instantly, he had made that horse-shaped guy feel sweaty all over his body. Qin Wushuang knew that up to this moment, the punishment had served the purpose. If he were to continue any longer, most likely this guy would not have long to live after getting scared to death.
Immediately, he withdrew his temperament and sucked that Upper Sky blade back into his hand. Then, he put it back on his waist.
“In the future, open your eyes more.” Qin Wushuang left a warning and was about to leave
“Big Brother, please hold on.” It was that young man who opened to speak.
“Hm?”
Qin Wushuang glanced backward. He did not have a bad impression of this young man. A moment ago when the three was circling him, he had either unintentionally left some space on his side of encirclement. The other two did not see it through. Being an Upper Sky Realm warrior, he had easily seen it.
Apparently, this young man had deliberately left that space to remind him to break from there. From this point, this guy did not seem to want to harm others.
“Could I speak to you privately?” That young man asked carefully. In his eyes, there was a trace of expectation.
Qin Wushuang had an idea. Although he had entered the Palace for two months, he still did not know much about it. It would not be a bad idea if he could find an honest man to get to know some information.
Thus, he nodded: “Come with me!”
Then, he walked forward. After glancing at those two on the ground, that young man also followed with significant steps.
They came to a high hill after passing through this forest. Qin Wushuang slowed down to a stop only after this young man have caught up.
“You can say it here.”
Gathering courage, that young man nodded and asked: “You are in the Upper Sky?”
Qin Wushuang did not expect that he asked this question firsthand. He nodded: “Yes.”
“Just as I thought.” That young man sighed, “If you are not in the Upper Sky, how could you force them into that helpless state without moving a finger? Indeed, Upper Sky Spiritual Force is so powerful!”
“Yes, you three were acting as roadside bullies at this place? Don’t you feel ashamed for the Stargaze Palace?”
That young man shook his head helplessly: “Initially, I did not come from the same teacher as those two. Only, they used an iron hand in a velvet glove, and I had no choice but to join them.”
“Haha, no need to explain to me. Anyways, in the Stargaze Palace, you are allowed to rob others. You asked to speak privately, anything else?”
That young man bit his lips lightly and suddenly said: “I have a presumptuous request, I don’t know if you would be interested in hearing me out?”
“Since this is a presumptuous request, then you don’t need to ask.” Qin Wushuang was straightforward.
Stunned, that young man then mumbled to say: “It’s not a presumptuous favor exactly. If you could be so kind to agree, I am willing to pay you.”
“Payment?” Qin Wushuang found it funny, “What kind of payment do you have?”
“Would you answer my request?” Instead, that young man did not respond to and asked.
“Answer what?”
“It is simple, and there is no need for you to do anything. As long as you are willing to let me tag along to go to that Nature Manifestation Valley, I can pay you two Spiritual Grass.”
“Nature Manifestation Valley?” Qin Wushuang was dumbfounded.
What was that place? He never planned to go to some Nature Valley, how come this guy suddenly mentioned about it?
Observing his expression, that young man asked with disbelief when he saw the startled expression on Qin Wushuang’s face: “This time, Big Brother, it’s impossible for you not to go there, right?”
“Why should I go to the Nature Manifestation Valley?” Qin Wushuang’s expression turned cold.
That young man thought he had spoken the wrong words as he spat out his tongue and said apologetically: “I asked too much. Since you are not going there, then I will take my leave, haha.”
He felt an enormous pressure before an Upper Sky. On one side, he worried that this Upper Sky disciple was going to rob his goods. On the other hand, he had hoped an Upper Sky would protect him and take a stroll at that Nature Manifestation Valley.
“Hold on.” Qin Wushuang called out lightly.
That young man immediately stopped his footsteps: “What else would you like?”
“Tell me about that Nature Manifestation Valley?” Qin Wushuang did not try to cover up his faults. In fact, he did not know about it. To a new disciple, it was normal not to know anything. One would not be afraid not to know; it would be bad if one pretended to know everything.
To the current Qin Wushuang, he was at a learning level. It would not be a bad idea to ask more questions.
However, that young man did not think this way as he said with astonishment: “What is going on, that you don’t know about that Nature Manifestation Valley?”
Qin Wushuang said impatiently: “I only entered the Palace for two months, why is it weird to not know about it?”
That young man looked at Qin Wushuang with disbelief and said stutteringly: “Only two month since you are here? And you studied directly under the Second Palace Master? No wonder…No wonder.”
Immediately, he realized that he forgot his manners and said: “That Nature Manifestation Valley is such thing…”
