57: He runs, he chases, he can't fly away

Gu Liangyuan clearly remembered that Zhang Yang's System panel contained a Luck entry called “Blessings and Misfortunes Intertwined.”

Whenever he faced a sure-death situation, he would definitely gain an Opportunity.

What if there was no sure-death situation? Naturally, one had to be created!

Hehehe!

How was this a Child of Destiny? This was a living, breathing Opportunity ATM!

Thinking of Zhang Yang's world-class Child of Destiny Luck, Gu Liangyuan couldn't help but feel excited.

If he then bestowed these upon his Disciple, what Heaven-Defying rewards would be returned to him!

At this thought, Gu Liangyuan suddenly soared into the sky.

The Law of Water activated, and the surrounding clouds gathered, transforming into white clouds that firmly supported Gu Liangyuan.

Looking down, he saw Zhang Yang waiting for a long time outside the Forget-Love Peak mountain gate, but no one entered or exited.

After a moment of hesitation, he immediately stepped forward and asked the gate-keeping Disciple:

“Two Senior Brothers, I want to see Song Xianer. Please, two Senior Brothers…”

Before Zhang Yang could finish speaking, Zhen Fengliu, the gate-keeping Disciple, suddenly shouted sternly:

“How dare you!”

“You, a Utility Disciple, how dare you directly call Junior Martial Uncle Song by her name!”

As he spoke, his Foundation Establishment Aura was fully displayed, forcing Zhang Yang to retreat repeatedly.

A fierce glint flashed in Zhang Yang's eyes, and he instinctively wanted to get angry, but then he looked at the Utility Disciple uniform on his body, and he clenched his fist.

You snobs!

Just you wait, when I see Xian'er, I'll make you pay!

Having joined the Holy Land, he originally thought he would soar to great heights.

But he didn't expect that daily chores almost completely occupied his time, leaving him little time for rest, let alone Cultivation.

After so many days of understanding, he also learned how incredible Gu Liangyuan's status was in the Holy Land.

The more he understood, the more irritated he felt!

With just one word, he could have made himself an Outer Sect or even an Inner Sect Disciple.

But instead, he was given the identity of a Utility Disciple; wasn't this pure humiliation!

In his helplessness, he had no choice but to seek out Song Xianer, hoping to use Song Xianer's status to help him move up and be promoted to Inner Sect.

He had completely forgotten how righteously he had refused Song Xianer's offer of resources before.

In his opinion, Song Xianer should always listen to him.

Even if he made Song Xianer angry, Song Xianer shouldn't hold a grudge because of it.

If he got angry, Song Xianer should reflect deeply.

Taking two deep breaths, Zhang Yang suppressed his emotions and spoke to the gate-keeping Disciple again:

“Two Senior Brothers, I wish to request an audience with Junior Martial Uncle Song… Song Junior Martial Uncle. Please, two Senior Brothers, convey my message.”

Another mountain-guarding Disciple, Jia Zhengjing, glared at Zhang Yang:

“You, a Utility Disciple, think Junior Martial Uncle Song is someone you can just meet whenever you want?”

The anger Zhang Yang had barely suppressed flared up again, and he almost couldn't control his expression:

“My name is Zhang Yang. Senior Brother, please convey the message. Junior Martial Uncle Song… Song Junior Martial Uncle will definitely come to see me.”

Zhen Fengliu and Jia Zhengjing glanced at Zhang Yang, but didn't reply.

It was as if the words “looking down on you” were written all over their faces.

In fact, since the two were arranged by Song Rentou to be mountain-guarding Disciples, apart from being a bit flamboyant, their character and way of dealing with people were quite good in all aspects.

After all, a mountain-guarding Disciple was the face of a peak.

The reason for their attitude towards Zhang Yang was entirely Song Rentou's arrangement.

After all, they needed a proper reason to deal with Zhang Yang later, didn't they?

Seeing their attitude, Zhang Yang couldn't care less. He suddenly mustered all his magic power and let out a loud roar:

“Song Xianer, I'm here!”

The sound waves spread out, causing ripples in the nearby pond.

“Silence!”

Zhen Fengliu and Jia Zhengjing's expressions changed simultaneously, and they immediately stepped forward to restrain Zhang Yang.

There were dozens of Disciples on Forget-Love Peak, and although their Cultivation places had sound-proofing arrays and such, they were afraid that if a Disciple carelessly didn't activate it, his shout would disturb their minds and affect their Cultivation, which would be bad.

“You two, release him.”

Just as the two were about to take the Opportunity to act against Zhang Yang, an ethereal voice sounded from behind them.

The two turned their heads, and upon seeing that the person was Song Xianer, they quickly bowed:

“Jia Zhengjing (Zhen Fengliu) greets Junior Martial Uncle.”

Zhang Yang looked at Song Xianer, who was like a goddess, and a flicker of greed flashed in his eyes.

Then he showed an expression of great joy and quickly stepped forward two paces:

“Xian'er, I finally see you.”

Song Xianer took two steps back as if in distaste, creating distance between herself and Zhang Yang:

“Zhang Yang, this is the Holy Land. The rules that should be followed still need to be followed.”

Listening to Song Xianer's words and her slightly disdainful expression, Zhang Yang's face changed:

“Song Xianer, what do you mean by this?”

As soon as Zhang Yang said this, Zhen Fengliu behind him suddenly frowned sharply!

He raised a hand, and a long staff appeared in it.

Without a word, he swung it directly at the back of Zhang Yang's head!

Clang!

Zhang Yang stumbled from the blow and fell onto the grass nearby.

Zhen Fengliu looked down at Zhang Yang, who was sprawled on the ground:

“Zhang Yang, mind your status and your words!”

Zhen Fengliu wasn't acting this time; he was genuinely angry.

A mere Utility Disciple, ordering around their Forget-Love Peak's direct Disciple, was too unruly!

Song Xianer watched all of this, with no intention of stopping it.

Zhang Yang lay on the grass, touched the blood on the back of his head, and struggled to his feet.

He didn't look at Zhen Fengliu, but stared intently at Song Xianer:

“Song Xian…”

Seeing Zhen Fengliu about to raise his staff again, Zhang Yang, though feeling aggrieved, still managed to stop himself from saying the full name:

“What exactly do you mean?”

“What do I mean?”

Song Xianer sneered repeatedly, completely abandoning her gentle and lovely demeanor in front of Gu Liangyuan. A murderous Aura emanated from her, stirring up the flowing clouds in the sky!

Although Song Xianer was only at Foundation Establishment, with her past life memories awakened, her immortal Aura was extraordinary.

With a clang, a sword hummed!

The Clear Wind Sword was in her hand.

“I clearly possess Cultivation talent, yet you took advantage of my ignorance, lied to me that I had no Spiritual Root, and misguided my Cultivation.”

“Even so, out of old sentiment, I went to give you Cultivation resources, only to be humiliated by you.”

“That I haven't killed you already is out of consideration for the kindness your father showed me in the past.”

“Today, the reason I came out to see you is to tell you that the kindness of your Zhang family has been repaid by you. From now on, we have no further connection whatsoever!”

(Inner monologue: If Master hadn't told me that he would personally take action, I would have killed you eight hundred times over.)

Looking at Song Xianer in this state, Zhang Yang felt incredibly unfamiliar.

The script shouldn't be like this, should it?

I've already come to you actively, shouldn't you be offering up a large amount of Cultivation resources?

Zhang Yang's core philosophy was:

If you seek me, I can ignore you.

But if I ignore you, you cannot stop seeking me!

Even when Song Xianer exposed his schemes, he showed no intention of self-reflection.

He only hated Gu Liangyuan even more deeply!

All of this was Gu Liangyuan's fault!

If Gu Liangyuan hadn't taken Song Xianer as his Disciple, where would all these changes have come from!

He deserved to die!

At this moment, Song Xianer felt disgusted to say another word to Zhang Yang.

Having cleared things up today, this matter in her heart was finally put to rest.

She only felt that her Forget Love Sutra had progressed further, moving another step closer to reaching the pinnacle of emotion and nature.

She flicked her sleeve, turned, and entered the mountain gate:

“Drive this person away for me. From now on, do not let him approach Forget-Love Peak by half a step again!”

Zhang Yang still wanted to say something, but before he could open his mouth, a large crowd of people descended from the peak.

Among these people were Elders and Disciples.

Without a word, various attacks were unleashed one after another, heading straight for Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang was greatly alarmed and turned to run.

Song Xianer watched this scene with some puzzlement.

Does driving someone away require such a grand display?

Feeling the Forget Love Sutra operating even more smoothly within her, Song Xianer shook her head, stopped thinking about it, and went back to consolidate her Cultivation.

He fled, they pursued, he had no wings to escape.

Zhang Yang thus began his path of escape, and Gu Liangyuan began his journey of treasure hunting.
