Chapter 26: Xianyangmen Deacon, Yu Chong

“Bang” the sound of a door being kicked open was heard in the right courtyard of the Liu family; at this time, Bu Gong had already found the house where Liu Xing was just now.
As soon as he arrived at the door, he heard Liu Xing’s evil voice coming from inside the room. Then he reached out and pushed the door, but it didn’t open. It was obviously locked from the inside.
In response, Bu Gong didn’t waste any words. He kicked the door open and then went in. What appeared in front of him was a large bed with a naked female body lying on one side of it; and on the other side, Liu Xing was tearing off a girl’s clothes.
Even Bu Gong, with his calm demeanor, was slightly embarrassed by the lewd and decadent scene before him; but it was only for a moment. Then, Bu Gong turned to look at the girl whose clothes were being torn by Liu Xing. That was the girl he had rescued from Liu Xing that morning.
At this moment, Liu Xing, who was in excitement in the room, was also awakened by the loud sound of kicking the door just now, and immediately came to his senses; and when his eyes fell on Bu Gong, he was a little surprised, but then he was replaced by viciousness and resentment.
A big part of the reason why he captured Xiang Ling’er was because of Bu Gong. Having witnessed Bu Gong’s skills in the morning, he was a little afraid of Bu Gong and did not dare to target him directly. Naturally, he turned his attention to the girl who was rescued by Bu Gong.
Although they were outside, no matter how many people he brought, it would be useless to look for Bu Gong; so he simply gave up on dealing with Bu Gong and turned to capture Xiang Ling’er.
In fact, Liu Xing had a good idea. First of all, capturing Xiang Ling’er was already a huge gain. If Bu Gong knew about this and dared to come to his house again, it would be an even greater gain. It would be like catching a turtle in a jar in his own home, which could be said to kill two birds with one stone.
Although he could not do anything to Bu Gong outside, because there were only two or three cultivators in his family, and it was impossible for them to mobilize the cultivators in the family to attack Bu Gong just because of his little matter; if he did so, if his side failed, the Liu family would be coveted by other forces in Xuanhuo City.
You should know that some small families in Xuanhuo City are lucky and have one or two children in the immortal gate; although these families are usually not in the limelight, they can give you a fatal blow at the critical moment.
At this moment, Liu Xing stopped what he was doing, lowered his body, and stared cruelly at Bu Gong who suddenly broke in; his pale face was slightly distorted, which showed how deep his hatred for Bu Gong was.
“Haha… little bastard, I didn’t expect you to actually dare to come. I have to admire your courage.” Liu Xing laughed sinisterly; the look he gave Bu Gong was like a cat looking at a mouse, full of teasing.
In response to this, Bu Gong shook his head helplessly and said, “It’s true that a dog can’t change its eating habits.” As Bu Gong finished speaking, Liu Xing seemed to have his tail stepped on. He suddenly turned around, pointed at Bu Gong, and cursed in a sharp voice: “Little bastard, what qualifications do you have to criticize me? Hehe… Don’t worry, I will let you know what the consequences of offending me are.”
But Bu Gong ignored Liu Xing’s words and walked towards the naked Xiang Ling’er. But as soon as he took a step, he felt a strong wind coming towards him from behind.
Bu Gong quickly turned sideways and threw a backhand punch towards the strong wind behind him; Bu Gong could feel that although the person behind him was also a cultivator, his cultivation level did not seem to be as high as his, and was only at the middle stage of the second level of body shaping.
That’s why he dared to charge forward without looking back; a dull “bang” sound was heard, and the man who attacked Bu Gong from behind took four or five steps back. This man was the burly man in black with thick eyebrows and big eyes that Bu Gong had noticed before.
At this time, Bu Gong also stopped moving forward and slowly turned around; as expected, the person who attacked him was the man he had been paying attention to before.
Bu Gong glanced at him indifferently, his tone as calm as ever, and said: “You should know that you are not my opponent. I am here just to save people and don’t want to fight with you.” After speaking, Bu Gong turned around and continued to walk towards Xiang Ling’er in the house.
At this time, Liu Xing’s face changed. He really didn’t expect that Bu Gong was also a cultivator. The middle-aged man with thick eyebrows who had fought with Bu Gong was the most talented one selected from the direct descendants of his Liu family. Relying on the training resources often sent by his cousin and the simple introductory exercises, he became a cultivator of the second level of body shaping.
He knew this; even he himself, when he met the middle-aged man with thick eyebrows, had to respectfully call him Uncle Li, because the middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and big eyes was named Liu Li; he also had a very high status in the family and was in charge of all the armed guards of the family.
Originally, Liu Xing thought that Bu Gong was just an ordinary person who knew some martial arts, but he didn’t expect that he was a cultivator; so now he could only watch Bu Gong take Xiang Ling’er away.
At this moment, Xiang Ling’er’s beautiful eyes had a little more spirit. He didn’t expect that when he was about to be defiled, this young boy saved him again. He saw that her clothes were a little ragged at this time, and her torn dress revealed a little bit of spring light, which matched with her curvy body that had already taken shape, making her more charming.
Xiang Ling’er’s face was still ice-cold, and her beautiful eyes were indifferent as she followed Bu Gong and walked towards the gate of the Liu family. At the same time, following behind him was the woman who had been defiled by Liu Xing in **.
Because just now, when Bu Gong was planning to take Xiang Ling’er away alone, Xiang Ling’er gently pulled Bu Gong’s sleeve and told him the whole story; it turned out that the woman was also abducted by Liu Xing, and Bu Gong, who always hated such things, took her away as well.
But just as Bu Gong left the right courtyard of the Liu family and was about to reach the main gate of the Liu family, a somewhat old but vigorous roar suddenly rang out from the main hall of the Liu family: “You bold thief, with this old man here, do you think you can come and go as you please in the Liu family?” Then the voice quickly came from far away and in the blink of an eye, it arrived at the front yard of the Liu family.
When everyone in the Liu family heard this voice, their eyes flashed with ecstasy, as well as faint admiration and enthusiasm; Bu Gong also stopped because of this shout.
Because he could faintly feel a slight oppression from the shout; and the one who could make Bu Gong feel a little oppression must be a cultivator with the same cultivation level as him, or even slightly higher than him.
Bu Gong paused, raised his head slightly, and looked at the old man in front of him; he saw that his face was covered with wrinkles, with a dark tint between his brows, he was rather thin, and gave people a sense of old age; it was obvious that the old man in front of him was not going to live long.
You know, in the Immortal Origin Realm, cultivators have a very long lifespan; mortals only live to 100 years old, capped at 200. And once one begins cultivation, even if they’ve just entered the Body Shaping Stage, their lifespan will be two or three times longer than a mortal’s, reaching a minimum of 250 years.
As your cultivation gradually improves, your lifespan will also increase significantly. If your lifespan is about to end and your cultivation stops, you will end up like the old man in front of you, and you can only watch your vitality slip away helplessly.
“Who are you?” Bu Gong asked indifferently; although he could feel a little bit of oppression from the old man, it was only a little bit and almost negligible; obviously, the old man in front of him was probably at the third level of body shaping, and he might have opened ten or twenty more acupoints in his body than himself.
Although the opponent is at the third level of body shaping, Bu Gong is also at this stage now, and 500 of the 300 pairs of acupoints in Bu Gong’s body have been opened, and only 100 are left to reach the peak of body shaping.
According to Bu Gong’s guess, the old man in front of him had opened up only 10 to 20 more acupoints than him. As Bu Gong finished speaking, the old man spoke with a somewhat arrogant tone, looking at Bu Gong with a slightly contemptuous look, and said: “I am the deacon of Xianyang Sect, Yu Chong…”
When Bu Gong heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly, but his heart was churning slightly, “Deacon of Xianyang Sect?” Bu Gong’s mind raced, “This old man in front of me is the deacon of Xianyang Sect. Then, he is very likely related to the recruitment of disciples this time. It is not convenient to conflict with him for the time being.”
With this thought in mind, Bu Gong pondered for a moment, then bowed slightly to the old man: “So, old gentleman is from Xianyang Sect, I apologize for being rude here”; while Bu Gong was thinking, the old man in front of him was also looking at him; at this moment, the old man was also shocked in his heart.
In fact, he had not expected that the young man in front of him, who was about seventeen years old, had actually cultivated to the third level of body shaping on his own, and it seemed that he was close to the peak; so he also understood that if he tried his best, he could not guarantee that he could keep the young man in front of him, and seeing that his attitude towards him just now was quite good, he had other plans in mind.
Then, the old man’s tone softened slightly, and he said softly: “Young friend, you have a very good cultivation. It is no exaggeration to say that you are a natural talent.” Bu Gong felt relieved when he saw him like this. This was exactly what he wanted, so he said: “Thank you for your praise, old sir. I came here this time because my sister was captured by Liu Xing, the young master of the Liu family, so I broke into the Liu family. I don’t know…”
“Hehe…it’s alright, young friend,” the old man said with a smile. He then paused for a moment before speaking, “The Houtian Xianyang Sect is recruiting disciples at the Xuanhuo City Lord’s Mansion. With your qualifications, you should be selected. I hope you’ll come to the City Lord’s Mansion when the time comes.”
When Bu Gong heard this, a slight fluctuation flashed in his eyes, but he secretly laughed in his heart, “This is really like someone coming to give you a pillow when you are sleepy.” Then he was silent for a while, and then he said, “I will definitely be there on time. I will trouble you, old man.”
“Haha…it’s okay, why bother? You are such a straightforward person.” The old man smiled when he heard Bu Gong’s words; but no one noticed the joy that flashed in the depths of the old man’s eyes.
At the same time, everyone in the Liu family was completely stunned. They didn’t expect that the savior of the Liu family at the critical moment was chatting and laughing with Bu Gong at this time, and they had a feeling that they met too late.
Looking at the appearance, everyone seemed to be in tears; and at this time, Liu Xing, who was among the Liu family group, was staring at Bu Gong and the old man from Xianyang Sect with vicious eyes, and it seemed that he hated the old man as well.
However, Bu Gong did not pay too much attention to Liu Xing at the moment; he only heard him say softly: “Old sir, in that case, I will take my leave. I will definitely go there then.” After that, he turned around and took Xiang Ling’er and another woman who was also abducted by Liu Xing, and walked out of the Liu family mansion together.
In the Liu family compound, the old man from the Xianyang Sect named Yu Chong looked at Bu Gong’s figure with some inexplicable and a hint of weirdness in his eyes. In fact, he was asked by Liu Xing’s cousin in the Xianyang Sect to take the opportunity of recruiting disciples to send some training resources to the Liu family, and by the way, bring a few Liu family members into the Xianyang Sect.
However, he did not expect Bu Gong’s unexpected intrusion this time; he originally thought that he could easily take down Bu Gong with his own strength, but he always felt that the young man in front of him seemed to have something that could threaten him; and the old man was also a cunning and cautious person. After considering again and again, he did not act rashly.
The reason why he proposed that Bu Gong also participate in the recruitment of Xianyang Sect disciples was because if Bu Gong could also enter Xianyang Sect, then he would be able to deal with Bu Gong with ease; although he was shocked by Bu Gong’s talent in cultivation, Bu Gong was still not a big deal, so he dared to care about it so much.
Obviously, the old man in front of him was probably on the side of cousin Liu Xing in Xianyang Sect; and Bu Gong had reached the third level of body shaping at such a young age, and was close to the peak. Bu Gong’s talent could be imagined; and if such a person was allowed to develop further and became an enemy in the future, he would definitely be a terrifying opponent that would make people lose sleep and eat.
However, if he ignored Bu Gong’s trespassing into the Liu family, he would have a hard time explaining to Liu Xing’s cousin in the Xianyang Sect; but if he took direct action, he was not very confident, so he planned to take this approach.
At this time, Bu Gong had already walked out of the Liu Mansion with Xiang Ling’er and the other girl. As for the woman who was brought out with them, her expression was gloomy and wooden, and she didn’t say a word.
“Why did you come here to save me?” After a long silence, Xiang Ling’er finally spoke, breaking the silence; but Bu Gong still had that calm expression, as if he had no intention of answering her at all.
“If you also want to treat me like Liu Xing, I think your goal should have been achieved.” Seeing Bu Gong didn’t speak, Xiang Ling’er hesitated for a moment, and finally said this.
After all, from Xiang Ling’er’s point of view, there is no free lunch in the world; Bu Gong has helped her again and again, and even Xiang Ling’er herself would not believe that Bu Gong does not want any reward.
As Xiang Ling’er finished speaking, the woman who was walking with Xiang Ling’er had a slight flash of panic in her eyes. She raised her head slightly and looked at Bu Gong in front of her with a little fear.
Hearing Xiang Ling’er’s words, Bu Gong, who was walking in front, paused slightly; his originally indifferent eyes now showed a hint of sarcasm.
Then, Bu Gong turned his head slightly and looked at Xiang Ling’er, who had a beautiful and cold face in front of him; a disdainful arc appeared at the corner of his mouth, and “Get out”, a cold word, came out of his mouth.
After saying this, Bu Gong turned around and his figure gradually disappeared into the darkness. Xiang Ling’er and the woman were a little stunned at this moment. Xiang Ling’er didn’t expect that her casual question would cause Bu Gong to react so violently.
In fact, although Bu Gong is no longer the honest and upright country boy he used to be, and even has a somewhat withdrawn and cold personality, he still has that natural kindness deep in his heart.
Bu Gong felt sympathy for Xiang Ling’er’s experience, so he spared no effort to help her; because he himself had been helpless, he knew well the feeling of powerlessness and despair.
Therefore, when he saw Xiang Ling’er, a little girl of only about fifteen years old, showing helplessness and despair under the coercion of Liu Xing, it resonated with him, so he took action.
But Bu Gong was too disdainful to explain to others who were ungrateful and unhelpful. At this moment, the two girls who were still standing on the street had a dazed look on their faces. After a long while, the girl with a somewhat numb and indifferent expression slowly turned her head and said to Xiang Ling’er, “You may have misunderstood him.”
Xiang Ling’er stared at the direction Bu Gong had left, a little lost in thought. A hint of self-blame crept into her eyes, and she pursed her red lips. She said nothing, clearly a stubborn girl.
