Chapter 765 Fear Arises
However, if the other party is indeed from the Great Chu Immortal Dynasty, then imprisoning or killing him would be unwise. Doing so would not only cause even greater trouble, but the consequences of being discovered would be unimaginable. Furthermore, since his identity remains unrevealed, it wouldn't be easy for the other party to investigate him.
However, the old Taoist priest Guiyi thought that although he had not directly stated that he was from the previous dynasty, various signs indicated that he was already highly suspicious. Moreover, if he did not hand over Rulong, and someone found out about this, he would undoubtedly be openly opposing the Great Chu Immortal Dynasty. Therefore, if he released Rulong, who was not one of his own, the risk of being investigated would greatly increase.
This series of problems gave Guiyi Daoist a headache. He couldn't help but sigh that his peaceful days were probably coming to an end. This unexpected character, Rulong, was simply a hot potato that was difficult to handle.
Despite his annoyance, the old Taoist priest Guiyi knew very well that he still had to release Rulong. After all, keeping Rulong here indefinitely wasn't a solution; it would be better to let him go first, then observe the situation from the sidelines and act accordingly.
If what Ru Long said was true, then why would he come to the Guiyi Sect instead of going to live a carefree life? This puzzled the old Daoist Guiyi. He really couldn't figure out the reason. Did Ru Long have some special scheme?
The old Taoist priest Guiyi shook his head, thinking he might be overthinking things. After all, the previous dynasty had been gone for so long; would anyone still be clinging to it and attempting to do something about it? Even if someone did think that way, it would be nothing but wishful thinking, and how could they possibly succeed?
Guiyi the old Taoist knew that once he released Rulong, regardless of his own identity, he would be standing against the Great Chu Immortal Dynasty. Therefore, before letting Rulong go, he specifically warned him: "Junior, you'd better keep our matter to yourself and never mention it to anyone, understand?"
Upon hearing this, Ru Long was overjoyed, knowing that the other party was going to let him go. He quickly replied, "Don't worry, senior, I absolutely won't tell anyone! I've never even met you, senior. You're my good friend, how could I possibly betray you? If I revealed this, what kind of friend would I be! Besides, with your strength, if I dared to speak carelessly, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to save my own life!"
After hearing Ru Long's words, the old Taoist Guiyi nodded in satisfaction and praised, "Hmm, not bad, you are a wise man."
Suddenly, everything went blurry before Long's eyes, as if the whole world was spinning. When everything returned to normal, he found himself standing in his own courtyard.
Ru Long breathed a sigh of relief, his body drenched in cold sweat. He was secretly relieved that he had escaped unscathed. The world was truly unpredictable, like the wind and clouds, impossible to fathom. But who exactly was this mysterious senior? And where was he? Perhaps he was currently watching him silently from some corner, like a ghost. Thinking of this, a sense of fear rose within Ru Long, and he felt uneasy all over.
The next day, the sun shone brightly, and a gentle breeze caressed our faces. The old Taoist priest, Guiyi, was already waiting in the main hall of Guiyi Temple, a smile on his face, seemingly in exceptionally good spirits. He too had received the transmission of the Dragon Sutra.
A short while later, Ru Long arrived in a hurry. Upon seeing the old Taoist Gui Yi, he quickly bowed. Seeing this, the old Taoist Gui Yi smiled slightly and waved his hand, indicating that Ru Long did not need to stand on ceremony.
After Ru Long stood still, the old Taoist Guiyi asked, "Ru Long, are you married? Or rather, do you have a Taoist partner?"
