Chapter 404: Chapter 276 The Crisis of the Elder Doctor, Lu Qing’s Rage_2
“Since compassion is your concern, why then do you stop my master from descending the mountain?” Lu Qing spoke coldly, “Could it be because you’re taking advantage of my master’s good nature, knowing he cannot refuse?”
The elderly Daoist faltered, unsure of how to explain.
To be honest, he too found it strange that the people of Suspended Mountain would prevent the elder doctor from leaving.
Despite the rarity of Merit Light, it was not unheard of for high monks on Suspended Mountain to cultivate it, so it seemed hardly worth going to such great lengths.
At that moment, the elderly Daoist’s clothing trembled slightly as he retrieved a jade token from his chest and examined it with his heart and spirit.
His body shook, and his expression gradually turned solemn.
“Senior, has Mr. Zhi Rui sent another message?”
Lu Qing recognized the jade token in the elder’s hands as similar to the one Lin Zhirui had given his master initially.
“It is indeed Zhi Rui.”
The elderly Daoist slowly nodded, his expression showing no sign of relief.
“What did Mr. Zhirui say?”
Seeing the elder’s expression, Lu Qing had a bad premonition.
“Zhi Rui said that the monks from Suspended Mountain want your master to join them. He is unwilling, and they are now using an array to trap him and are trying to forcibly convert him.”
“What?!”
Upon hearing this, Lu Qing could no longer contain his anger, a chilling light flashing in his eyes.
The aura emanating from his body caused the elderly Daoist’s heart to constrict.
From Lu Qing, he sensed a very dangerous qi, a terrifying signal that posed a threat to his life.
“Brother Lu Qing, what are we waiting for? Let’s go and save Old Doctor Chen immediately!”
Ma Gu, equally furious, stood nearby.
Although he did not understand what conversion meant, he clearly heard that those so-called high monks were trapping the elder doctor with an array.
“Yes, Dr. Lu Qing, let’s ascend to the Sacred Mountain now!” Wei Zian also clenched the iron bar in his hand.
However, their words made Lu Qing’s mind clear.
“No, I should go alone; you both wait here for news.”
“But…”
“There’s no need for buts!” Lu Qing waved his hand to stop Ma Gu, “The oppressive force on the mountain is more than you two can withstand; going rashly would be too much for your bodies to bear.”
Ma Gu and Wei Zian stopped in their tracks.
They recalled the scene wherein Bai Bufan and others climbed the Heavenly Ascension Ladder.
Even Martial Arts Grandmaster Bai Bufan couldn’t ascend too high on Sacred Mountain; these two wouldn’t even reach halfway up the mountain.
With this realization, both were filled with frustration, hating their own weakness for being unable to help in such a critical situation.
“Don’t worry, I’ll bring the master back safely.”
Lu Qing, seeing the frustration on their faces, spoke out to comfort them.
“Young friend, are you sure you want to go to the Sacred Mountain?” the elderly Daoist asked.
“With my master in trouble, as a disciple, how can I just stand by?” Lu Qing replied calmly, “However, senior, I also have a favor to ask.”
“Please, speak your mind.”
“This Miss Hu, you can see the tribulation qi on her brow.
I don’t know when the tribulation will occur.
While I’m away, I’d ask you to help look after her to prevent others from taking advantage.”
Lu Qing looked at the words floating around the old man, sensing that this elder was temporarily trustworthy.
Still, he communicated secretly with Little Li, who was in the house letting Little Yan nap, using his divine soul.
The elderly Daoist looked at Hu Zezhi’s brow and finally nodded, “Rest assured, young friend, I will stay in this yard and won’t leave until you come back.”
“Then, senior, I thank you in advance.”
Lu Qing solemnly bowed to the elder, then in a flash, he was on his way out of the yard.
“Mr. Ma, please take care of Little Yan, and when she wakes up, don’t let her wander around.”
As his last words settled, Lu Qing had already disappeared.
His incredible speed startled the elderly Daoist.
“This Young Master Lu, what kind of person is he, really?”
The elder’s heart was filled with unease and uncertainty.
Never had he encountered a youth whom he could not see through as he did now.
He had a premonition that Lu Qing’s ascent to the Sacred Mountain this time would definitely cause a great uproar.
After leaving the Tianji Building, Lu Qing immediately used his movement technique and rushed toward the Holy Mountain.
To increase his speed, he even activated the Magic Talisman within his brow chakra.
A faint yellow glow flashed momentarily on his skin, and Lu Qing’s speed instantly increased sharply.
In a blink of an eye, he was like a wisp of green smoke, approaching the Holy Mountain incredibly fast.
His speed was so fast that the martial artists along the way could only sense a fleeting figure.
By the time they were startled and tried to discern this figure’s appearance, Lu Qing had already disappeared.
Soon, Lu Qing had reached the northern district of the city, right before the Heavenly Ladder.
At that moment, there were still many people gathered at the foot of the Heavenly Ladder, periodically bursting into cheers.
Even more people were present than on the day when Bai Bufan and others were competing.
It turned out that there were martial artists having a competition on the Heavenly Ladder.
“Good, Fairy Li indeed deserves to be the true disciple of the Guiyuan Sect. Not only is she unparalleled in beauty, ranking high on the beauty list, but her martial arts cultivation is also profound. Now she has climbed to the 160th step, no less impressive than Bai Bufan and the others two days ago!”
“Saintess Zhao is also formidable, only one step behind Fairy Li, and she might even catch up later.”
“It’s just that the young princess of the Long family is somewhat behind, lagging by three or four steps.”
“Who would have thought we would be fortunate enough to watch three beauties from the beauty list competing together right before our eyes? Truly a life well-lived.”
“It’s a pity that the fairies are wearing veils, so we cannot glimpse their peerless faces.”
“Even if we can’t see their faces, merely admiring their graceful figures is enough for me to die content!”
…
As Lu Qing approached the area near the Heavenly Ladder, the various comments reached his ears.
Only then did he realize that the competitors on the Heavenly Ladder were several gracefully poised female warriors.
From the surrounding discussions, they seemed to be the outstanding beauties listed on the beauty list.
Normally, Lu Qing might have felt inclined to stop and enjoy the spectacle.
However, with his master’s safety weighing on his mind, he was in no mood for that.
He maneuvered nimbly, dodging the crowd, and arrived before the Heavenly Ladder. With a high leap, he reached tens of steps up in an instant.
With a tap of his foot, his body shot upward at an extreme speed, climbing tens more steps in a blink.
Thus, with continuous light taps, Lu Qing ascended like a wisp of smoke, crossing several tens of steps each time.
Within a few moments, he had reached the side of the beautifully poised female warriors.
Yet he did not pause at all, only lightly tapping his foot to overtake them and shooting toward the top.
And with incredible speed, he ascended the higher sections of the Heavenly Ladder and finally disappeared into the mist, vanishing from everyone’s sight.
This sudden turn of events caught everyone off guard.
It was only after Lu Qing’s figure disappeared into the mist that the crowd finally reacted.
Then, all at once, the crowd exploded into commotion.
“No way, what did I just see, did someone really rush up the Heavenly Ladder?”
“You’re not seeing things, someone definitely rushed up!”
“But that speed was too fast, could the strange power of the Heavenly Ladder have disappeared?”
“Disappear my foot, didn’t you see Fairy Li and the others still gasping for air up there?”
“Who exactly could it be, treating the Heavenly Ladder as if walking on flat ground!”
“More like about to fly, that speed, much faster than the brocade-clothed youth who climbed the 200th step two days ago!”
“Not only ten times faster, but even the height he reached was much higher. Didn’t you see, he has already disappeared into the mist? That must be above the 300th step, right?”
“Who exactly is this divine being? Even a Heavenly Realm Expert would not ascend 300 steps so effortlessly.”
…
For a moment, beneath the Heavenly Ladder, the voices of the people were uproarious, everyone completely stunned by the scene of Lu Qing charging up the Heavenly Ladder.
