C527 Reclusive Martial Arts
It was only after Yu Zhenzi mentioned it that Nie Zhen remembered that Yu Zhenzi's master was actually his former rival, Elder Devil Shi Ji, following Devil Stone Sect.
Back then, Elder Devil Shi Ji colluded with the Yutang Country Duke, and later on the Duke Jin Feng even took away his own sister, so Nie Zhen and the Devil Stone Sect Duke even had a feud, and killed Elder Devil Shi Ji's eldest disciple Cai Saangzi.
After Elder Devil Shi Ji had arrived at Guiyan City, if not for his master, then the entire Guiyan City might have been massacred by Elder Devil Shi Ji.
But later on, as Nie Zhen's cultivation became stronger and stronger, Elder Devil Shi Ji's little cultivation was not enough and Nie Zhen did not even treat Elder Devil Shi Ji as an opponent, not to mention that he had subdued two of Elder Devil Shi Ji's disciples. Yu Zhenzi and Jue Mingzi were now his best men, so naturally, he would not bring up those grudges from before.
Seeing Nie Zhen think of Elder Devil Shi Ji, Yu Zhenzi smiled awkwardly and said, "Yes, Young Lord, this subordinate knows that my master used to be together with you …"
Without waiting for Yu Zhenzi to finish, Nie Zhen waved his hand at him and said, "Yu Zhenzi, let's forget about my past grudge with your Master. Now, you and Jue Mingzi are both my brothers, even if it's on your account, I won't make things difficult for your Master. Don't worry."
"Thank you, Young Lord!" Yu Zhenzi said excitedly. Originally, he was afraid that Nie Zhen would bear grudges against the past. After all, Elder Devil Shi Ji had offended Nie Zhen back then.
"You can relax now, but is your master in the Yutang Country as well?" Ever since Nie Zhen entered the Duobao Sect, he actually didn't care about Elder Devil Shi Ji anymore. After all, even if Elder Devil Shi Ji had more guts, he didn't dare to bully Nie Zhen's family. Over time, Nie Zhen also silently forgot about Elder Devil Shi Ji.
Wu Tie nodded his head and said, "That's right. Back then, the amount of spirit energy in the world of the Yutang Country had suddenly skyrocketed, and later on, disciple invited master to come with fellow disciples of the Devil Stone Sect to find a mountain to rebuild the sect. Jue Mingzi and I could take care of it for a while, but later on, Master came alone to the Yutang Country to understand the situation, and while we were visiting my junior brother and I, the Pingsha Sect invaded the three great empires."
Nie Zhen's heart skipped a beat as he asked: "Then the Devil Stone Sect side …"
Yu Zhenzi let out a regretful sigh, and said in a deep voice: "Yeah, Devil Stone Sect s can't evacuate in time, and was swept away by Pingsha Sect. My Master rushed back in a flurry, and at that time, his Devil Stone Sect had already been flattened by someone.
The attack from Pingsha Sect was just too fast, and there was no one who knew it before, so when they found out, most of the sects had already fallen, and the Devil Stone Sect was not spared. If Elder Devil Shi Ji was not invited to Yutang Country, he would not have escaped this calamity.
Nie Zhen put his hand on Yu Zhenzi's shoulder and comforted him, "I am very sorry about Devil Stone Sect. Elder Devil Shi Ji may be very brutal, but he is still a good master."
Nie Zhen still admitted this point. Elder Devil Shi Ji may be ruthless, but he did care about his disciple a hundred percent.
Back then, Elder Devil Shi Ji wanted to take revenge for Cai Saangzi, but he was worried that his disciple would be retaliated against by the Duobao Sect, so he specially went back to dismiss his disciple.
Later on, the reason why Duan Rong detained Yu Zhenzi and Jue Mingzi was because he knew that once two of Elder Devil Shi Ji's disciples were detained, Elder Devil Shi Ji would definitely be restrained.
Yu Zhenzi pondered for a moment, and after adjusting his mood, he said to Nie Zhen, "Young Master Nie, I remember that back then when we were listening to our Master talk about the world and the mountains, he mentioned about the Wudang Yang Gathering Fruit. At that time, we did not think much of it, but later on, I heard from Butler Zhuang Zhou that you needed it."
Nie Zhen nodded towards Yu Zhenzi and said, "Looks like I have to pay a visit to your Master. Where is your Master? Let's go look for him."
At that moment, under Yu Zhenzi's lead, Nie Zhen arrived at a wooden house at the outskirts of Guiyan City City. According to Yu Zhenzi, this was the place where Elder Devil Shi Ji cultivated.
However, when Nie Zhen arrived, he looked at Yu Zhenzi in shock.
In his view, Elder Devil Shi Ji was still a sect master after all. Even if his Devil Stone Sect wasn't the peak sect back then, he should have had the ambition of becoming a sect master.
However, Elder Devil Shi Ji's current cultivation clearing …
A house made of wooden planks and straw was built beside a river. Nie Zhen felt that it was a place that ordinary fishermen lived in …
Eh? The person who was fishing seemed to have met him before …
If it weren't for Nie Zhen's sharp senses, which made him realize that the fisherman fishing was Elder Devil Shi Ji, otherwise, no matter how much imagination he had, it would be impossible for him to imagine that the dignified Devil Stone Sect master, the insufferably arrogant Elder Devil Shi Ji, would actually dress up like a fisherman and leisurely and elegantly fish by the river bank.
Yu Zhenzi smiled bitterly at Nie Zhen, and said using sound transmission: "Ever since my master's sect was destroyed and all of my junior brothers fell, he seemed to have become dispirited and no longer prepared to cultivate. After returning to the Yutang Country, he built a thatched cottage here to cultivate quietly …"
Nie Zhen was enlightened. It seemed like Elder Devil Shi Ji had suffered too much this time. With great enlightenment, he had directly retired from the underworld.
"Your disciple greets you, Master." Yu Zhenzi came in front of Elder Devil Shi Ji and bowed.
Elder Devil Shi Ji slowly turned his head and looked at Yu Zhenzi with a light smile, "Yu Zhenzi, you are now the left Protector of God Killing Sect, and your work is heavy, why did you come to find a rotten old man like me?"
Liu Tie pointed at Nie Zhen, who was behind him, and said to Elder Devil Shi Ji: "Reporting to Master, Young Master Nie is looking for a type of medicine called Wudang Yang Gathering Fruit. Disciple remembers that Master once mentioned it to us, so he specially came to pay his respects."
Elder Devil Shi Ji looked at Nie Zhen, who was standing not far behind Yu Zhenzi, and nodded at the latter.2
At this moment, the fishing rod in Elder Devil Shi Ji's hand shook. Elder Devil Shi Ji retracted the fishing rod and a live fish was caught on the hook.
Elder Devil Shi Ji threw the caught fish back into the river and put away the fishing rod. Then he said to Yu Zhenzi and Nie Zhen behind him, "Sure, Young Master Nie. Let's talk inside the house."
With that, Elder Devil Shi Ji led the way back to the thatched cottage. Liu Tie glanced at Yu Zhenzi and followed Elder Devil Shi Ji inside.
Only Yu Zhenzi, smiling at Nie Zhen, said, "Young Lord, since your subordinate has brought you here, the rest is for you to communicate with my master. As for the sect..." "My junior apprentice-brother is already busy. If he finds out that I am being lazy here, it would be amazing."
Nie Zhen smiled and nodded in agreement. Originally, he was the one who got annoyed, but now he had done it well. He could only bother his subordinates.
