374: Chapter 93: The Furious Diamond_2 374: Chapter 93: The Furious Diamond_2 It wasn’t that the seat of Great True Master Chong Kan was too high.
But rather,
she couldn’t comprehend why this Great True Master, unlike her own Master, had such vastly different philosophies, personalities, and methods of handling matters.
“I promised Sister Shu Ning that after returning to the Taoist temple, I would come to visit you.”
Tang Fengshu sighed softly.
After pondering for a moment, she still used honorable terms.
“These years, managing the Taoist sect has been difficult, and cultivating the Dao even more so…
You have worked hard.”
She bowed slightly and said coldly, “Now that Fengshu has shown her respect, I shall take my leave, not to bother the Great True Master.”
Having said that,
Tang Fengshu was about to turn and leave.
But the next moment,
a thunderbolt suddenly fell from the sky.
Everyone in the Taoist temple recognized the Thunder Technique, and as the Master of World Pavilion, Tang Fengshu was an expert in this technique.
Almost subconsciously, she raised her sleeve, summoned the Duster Treasure, and shattered the bolt of lightning.
The broken lightning scattered in all directions, enveloping the entire cliff in a cage of pure white.
“…?”
Tang Fengshu narrowed her eyes, slowly turned back, and looked up at the dark figure above with growing anger in her eyes.
Her voice grew colder, “Great True Master, what is the meaning of this?”
“You are the disciple most beloved by your senior brother and the one with the best foundation and aptitude in the Taoist sect.”
Great True Master Chong Kan spoke indifferently, “In a few years, you will take over this Taoist temple…
Before that, you must cut off worldly ties and eliminate delusions.
Do you know how many rumors and chaos have troubled the Taoist sect during this period?”
“Tang has a clear conscience.”
Tang Fengshu replied coldly, “Regarding the chaos in Qing State, if I hadn’t been there, how many people in Lichao City would have died due to the ‘Tide Ritual’?
Does the Great True Master not care at all about the lives of these common people?”
“This chaos was caused by Chen Jingxuan.”
Great True Master Chong Kan spoke somberly, “It should be dealt with by him.
As the State Preceptor of Great Chu, if he has the capability to set things up, he should have the ability to resolve them.”
“So by your logic, should I just stand by and do nothing?
The lives of hundreds of thousands of Lichao City citizens are mere trifles, and it doesn’t matter if they die.”
Tang Fengshu scoffed, “And what if the Sea Surfing King, after ascending to Yang God, decides not to kill the Holy Empress, but targets the Taoist sect instead, should we act the same?”
“How dare you!”
Chong Kan furiously said, “You confuse the issue, making reckless allegations!”
“I know you cultivate the ‘Vajra Dao’.”
Tang Fengshu said sadly, “This Dao requires fostering the aura of slaughter, yet the Taoist sect is known as a pure and holy land.
To maintain your public image, you meditate daily in front of the rocks, using vast righteousness to counteract the murderous aura…
But over the years, can meditation truly erode the aura of slaughter?”
Chong Kan furrowed his brows.
He did not understand why Tang Fengshu suddenly brought up this matter and what her intentions were.
“A dog can’t change its nature of eating excrement.”
Tang Fengshu suddenly uttered a rather vulgar phrase.
Vulgar,
yet highly aggressive.
“On the way to the back mountain, I saw the ground covered with broken talismans.”
Tang Fengshu lightly laughed, “For new disciples who draw talismans incorrectly, they should simply be re-taught.
Over the years, whether it was Smoke Evil or Daoist Zhu, you let them be…
Can’t a Great True Master like you handle such trivial matters without venting your anger on new disciples?
What does it mean that a dog can’t change its nature of eating excrement?
The Vajra Dao, not restraining oneself but seeking fault in others.”
Straight to the point.
But before Chong Kan could erupt again,
Tang Fengshu spoke again, still in a breezy tone, “Human nature is just like that.
There are millions of people, and there are millions of natures.
Today, you summoned me here simply to hear from my own mouth the truth about those ‘rumors’…
There’s really nothing to hide, I truly like Chen Jingxuan.
If given a chance, I would like to become his Dao companion and observe the mortal world together.
You can also say I ‘can’t change my nature,’ this has been the case for many years.
I’m sorry, but I can’t change.”
…
Great True Master Chong Kan’s silhouette became utterly silent for a moment.
It was probably unexpected to him that Tang Fengshu would be so candid, so composed, so serene.
Even the illustrated booklets circulated outside.
Merely hinted subtly at the story between the two.
“Tang Fengshu, you are the true disgrace of the Taoist sect.”
After a long while, Great True Master Chong Kan spoke coldly, “I think…
back then, it shouldn’t have been Smoke Evil who was imprisoned here, but you!”
“Is this utterly unforgivable?”
Tang Fengshu shook her head, lightly laughed, “If I cannot even face my own heart, dare not speak out, how can I cultivate Dao?
It’s a well-known fact to everyone, what difference does it make if I say it out loud?”
At this moment, although she was smiling.
This smile, however, also contained bitterness and helplessness.
It was something everyone in the world knew, yet there was one person who did not.
That person was, ironically, the most intelligent person in the world.
“It seems you have made up your mind to do as you please, ignoring the rules of the sect.”
Great True Master Chong Kan was silent for a few moments, then spoke with a lowered voice, “I have been too lenient with you in the past…
this time, I will not give you the opportunity to act recklessly.”
“This time…
you have no choice.”
He spoke each word as if issuing a divine decree.
“From today on!
You must cleanse your heart and face reality, then I will let you out of the back mountain!”
“Cleansing what heart, changing what face…”
Tang Fengshu frowned as she looked at Great True Master Chong Kan, and retorted word by word, her voice gradually rising, “May I ask the Great True Master, what truth should I realize?”
“As a leader of the Taoist sect, how can you be trapped by love?
The great Dao above, the principle of nature is supreme!”
Great True Master Chong Kan’s voice boomed like thunder, “If you wish to take over the Taoist sect, you must swear by your Divine Soul that from today onward, you will have no contact with Chen Jingxuan…”
“What kind of nonsensical reasoning is this.”
Tang Fengshu finally wielded her Duster Treasure, gripping it in her hand, and coldly said, “If you want to imprison me, just do it directly; why bother finding so many excuses.
I suppose when you imprisoned ‘Yan Xie’ back in the days, you used the same tactics, didn’t you!”
“…”
This remark finally made Chong Kan slowly turn around.
The Great True Master in a black robe merely glanced sideways, sending a chilling gaze.
Whirl!
The sky filled with thunderlight began to converge!
Rocks shattered, Thunder Marsh surged, Tang Fengshu threw the Duster Treasure high, formed a hand seal with one hand, its silver threads opened up a realm of filth, and she dashed out, heading straight for the current head of the Taoist sect.
The World Pavilion Master harbored a heavy killing intent!
And thus, she threw a punch!
Boom!
Thunder Technique shattered, Gang Qi splattered.
The black-robed Great True Master remained indifferent, but his Daoist robe and hair fluttered backwards, that Gang Qi blocked by the golden glow of his meditation cushion.
Her punch, however, could only hang in the air.
Tang Fengshu’s punch broke the Thunder Technique.
But the thunder, being formless, the shattered thunder at the next moment spread out into dense branches, turned into countless ropes, wrapped around Tang Fengshu layer by layer, and pulled her fiercely towards the ground!
“Sizzle!”
Tang Fengshu shook her shoulders, shattering the thunder, she kept punching towards that towering mountain-like figure facing away from her, but the sound of thunder overshadowed the heavy rain, and her punches, mighty as they were, were suppressed by the thunderclaps.
This battle of the great Dao had no suspense.
She was completely suppressed.
The peak of Yin God…
Ultimately could not compare to the Yang God!
The Great True Master sitting on the meditation cushion, even without any movement, relying solely on the Thunder Technique, was enough to win this battle.
This grand and mighty struggle thus “slowly” came to an end.
Tang Fengshu, little by little, was suppressed by the thunderlight, ultimately helpless, fell back to the ground, at that moment the entire open area in front of the mountain was enveloped by the Thunder Technique, transformed into a Thunder Marsh!
The Duster Treasure, too, was struck down.
Her originally movable area, from a hundred feet reduced, ultimately left only three feet.
Her visible range of Divine Thought also became shallower and shallower.
Great True Master Chong Kan, who initially was very close.
Looks farther and farther away, more and more like a high mountain.
Despite being entangled in Thunder Technique, despite the pressure of heavenly might.
Tang Fengshu still sneered, still looked up.
She was ultimately entangled by thousands of thunderlights, as if draped in a Kasaya, only this Kasaya weighed thousands of pounds, making it impossible to lift her head or straighten her back.

(PS: Today’s update is late.
I apologize.
The reason is that I was revising the story of Great Yue Kingdom, and I was not very satisfied with half of it.
The story of Pavilion Master Tang is also an important main line to follow, so I made a slight detour, which delayed the time.
I need to rearrange the outline tomorrow to ensure the treatment of Lord Lu’s plot can satisfy more people.
Actually, Panda is well aware, mainly because of following updates, my updates are too minimal, it’s not enough for everyone.
I’ve been disturbed by trifles recently, willing but powerless, I will adjust as soon as possible, please bear with me.)
