Xu Qi 'an immediately looked at Li Miaozhen and found that she was not surprised.
"They're just some rogue cultivators. With the strength of the Heaven & Earth Society, it shouldn't be hard to deal with them." He frowned.
The White Lotus Taoist priest explained helplessly, "Those rogue cultivators are the most troublesome. We don't want to kill too many people, but if we ignore them, we might be bitten by them.
"There are many of them, and their methods are unscrupulous. They are a big threat to ordinary disciples. But killing living beings is a big taboo … "
"Even if their lives are in danger?" Xu Qi 'an asked in surprise.
White Lotus shook her head and said in a low voice, "The Earth Sect cultivates merit, not the Taoist Heart."
What she meant was that the concept of having a clear conscience did not apply to the Earth Sect. As long as they killed people, their Karma would be damaged … From this perspective, it was fine to kill heinous criminals, because getting rid of evil was also good. "But those rogue cultivators can't all be evil …" Xu Qi 'an understood.
Chu Yuanzhen smiled. "I'll go and help too."
Hengy Yuan put his palms together. "Amitabha, I'll go and talk to them about Buddhism."
Actually, Hengy Yuan was a warrior monk. He did not have any Buddhist scars on his head. In theory, he did not have to follow the precepts. He could eat meat, drink alcohol, kill, and be a courtesan.
However, Hengy Yuan was different. He had always been strict with the rules of the Zen Cultivators.
The Jinlian Taoist priest said, "I'm not asking you to fight off those ignorant people, but to make them retreat and not cause trouble when the lotus seeds are ripe."
White Lotus Taoist priest continued, "Actually, the Black Lotus deliberately spread the news to attract these rogue cultivators. His original intention was to use them as pawns. These days, they have fully played the role of cannon fodder.
"And there are also experts among the rogue cultivators. They can't be underestimated. If we can't solve this problem in advance, this force will give us a headache during tomorrow's battle. "
As she spoke, Taoist Nun White Lotus kept looking at Li Miaozhen and Xu Qi 'an. She had already understood Jinlian's plan.
Hearing this, Li Miaozhen nodded confidently, "I have a bit of a reputation in Jianghu, and I have many friends. Those I don't know are willing to give me some face. Leave it to me. "
Xu Qi'an was about to follow Li Miaozhen and the others when the Jinlian Taoist priest suddenly called out to him, "Prince Xu, wait half a step, I has something to tell you."
His heart skipped a beat as he knew the reason. He stopped in his tracks and watched the four Heaven & Earth Society members leave.
After their silhouettes disappeared, the Jinlian Taoist priest waved his hand. The Nether Tome fragment automatically flew out of Xu Qi 'an's pocket and into the old Taoist priest's palm.
He held the fragment of the Earth Book in his hand, smiling without saying a word.
Seeing this, White Lotus said knowingly, "I'll go watch the battle from outside."
Only the Jinlian Taoist priest and Xu Qi 'an were left by the cold pond. The old Taoist priest bit his fingertip and used his blood to draw a curse on the surface of the Nether Tome fragment.
Xu Qi 'an tiptoed to peep, but was blocked by the Jinlian Taoist priest. "The Nether Tome fragment is the Earth Sect's treasure. Since you're not willing to join the Earth Sect, I can only follow the rule of' Dao cannot be passed on to the inexperienced '."
'Taoist priest, you don't have any internet spirit at all. What is internet spirit? It's free! ' 'No, it's sharing …' Xu Qi 'an thought to himself.
The Jinlian Taoist priest bent his finger and flicked it on the surface of the mirror. The bloody curse suddenly lit up and disappeared into the Nether Tome fragment.
Xu Qi 'an's brain exploded, as if a bolt of lightning had struck his brain. It was followed by an intense pain that came from his soul.
He clutched his head, his face twitching violently. The pain lasted for more than ten seconds before it dissipated.
"An artifact that has recognized its owner is a part of its owner. Forcefully cutting it off is like cutting off an arm …" The Jinlian Taoist priest kept the Nether Tome fragment number three and smiled.
"If you continue to carry it around, the Black Lotus will still be able to sense it. So, I'll keep it for the time being. I'll return it to you when everything is over. "
Xu Qi 'an looked at the Jinlian Taoist priest keeping the Nether Tome fragment. It was like a cabbage that he had been raising for eighteen years being taken away by a pig. He said worriedly,
"Taoist priest, you must keep it safe. You must return it to me after everything is over."
The Jinlian Taoist priest chuckled. "Looks like you have a strong sense of belonging to the Heaven & Earth Society."
Xu Qi 'an shook his head and said with a serious expression, "No, it's because my wife's account is in the Nether Tome fragment."
And it's my wife's account x10 …
…
The outskirts of the Yue's villa.
In the area that had been bombarded into ruins, dozens of Jianghu heroes were confronting the disciples of the Heaven & Earth Society.
There had just been a brief exchange of gunfire. Both sides were injured, but no one was killed.
"Little Taoist priests, get out of the way. We're here for the treasure, not to kill."
"That's right. Don't blame us for being rude if you dare to block our way again."
Dozens of Jianghu people were scattered around, waving their weapons and cursing.
The disciples of the Heaven & Earth Society who were confronting them held flying swords, jade rulers, copper awls, cloth cloths, and other artifacts in their hands. They did not retreat even half a step.
A young girl raised the sword in her hand and scolded, "Pfft, a bunch of shameless people. You're coveting the treasure of the Heaven & Earth Society. You're dreaming!"
"Hmph!"
With a cold snort, a fat man rushed out with two black iron hammers in his hands.
The pretty girl in a Taoist robe was not afraid at all. She gently threw her flying sword, and a sharp sound was heard.
"Ding!"
Sparks flew everywhere. The fat man, who had easily knocked away the flying sword, grinned and smashed his hammers at the girl.
However, he did not manage to smash down. A pair of porcelain white hands blocked the hammers. It was the hands of a girl. They were well-proportioned, slender, and small. The strange thing was that when these hands blocked the hammers, there was no fluctuation of energy, and there was no sound of metal colliding.
She resisted such a powerful blow with only her flesh and blood?
Seeing this scene, whether it was the disciples of the Heaven & Earth Society or the Jianghu heroes on the other side, they all felt that it was inconceivable.
The one who attacked was a beautiful girl with deep blue eyes and wheat-colored skin.
The characteristics of the people of the Southern Border were so obvious.
The fat man's expression changed. His rich combat experience allowed him to make the correct judgment without thinking. He quickly abandoned the black iron hammers and retreated.
"Are you men of the Central Plains all soft-footed shrimps? Why are you using such a light toy?"
Lina held two hammers in her hands, and she tossed them around like a little girl playing with a doll.
On the other side, the Jianghu people looked at this scene in a daze. They could not control the shock on their faces. Not to mention combat power, just this strength alone could crush all of them.
"The Southern Border's Gu Tribe, the Power Gu Tribe?"
Someone frowned and muttered with uncertainty.
Lina's blue pupils swept across the crowd. She grinned, revealing her small canine teeth. She said, "There's a saying in the Central Plains, it's impolite not to reciprocate."
Except for a few masters, the Jianghu people were shocked and quietly held their weapons tightly.
"Crack …"
Lina stepped on the floor and cracked it. Like an arrow, she shot at the crowd.
In an instant, people and horses were thrown off their feet. Screams could be heard. She knocked over a man with one punch. She was extremely strong, and her body technique was exquisite.
After more than ten rounds, no one could fight back.
"So strong …" The eyes of the disciples of the Heaven & Earth Society lit up. They were excited.
Previously, they had focused all their attention on Li Miaozhen, Xu Qi 'an, and Chu Yuanzhen, so they had neglected this little girl from another clan. They had thought that she was just a bonus, but they had not expected her to be so powerful.
Lina's attack was stopped until a man with a bronze rod made a move.
Led by the man with the bronze rod, dozens of people formed an encirclement. There were also a few experts in the crowd who used concealed weapons. From time to time, they threw a few concealed weapons from tricky angles.
With their cooperation, they finally regained the advantage.
Taking advantage of the fact that several of his companions were entangled with the foreign girl, the man with the bronze rod roared, turned around, and swung his rod. The air was piercing.
Lina raised her hand and once again used her palm as a weapon. She raised her leg and kicked the man, sending him flying. Blood was spilling everywhere.
"Lina, that's enough."
Li Miaozhen came out from the back of the disciples and shouted to stop them.
The fierce battle between the two sides immediately stopped.
Lina casually threw away the bronze rod and strode through the crowd with her slender legs, returning to Li Miaozhen's side.
"You, you are the Flying Swallow Heroine?!"
One of the Jianghu people recognized Li Miaozhen.
The Flying Swallow Heroine? The crowd looked at Li Miaozhen and their expressions changed.
Tenzō Shōnin glanced at the group of Jianghu people and asked, "Who is the leader?"
She knew the Jianghu very well. If there was a need to unite, the Jianghu people would choose the most prestigious or the most famous person as the temporary leader.
Sometimes, fame and prestige were even more important than strength. Strength could make people fearful, but only fame could make people submit.
The strong man covered his abdomen and staggered forward. He cupped his fists and said, "Liu Hu from Nanhuai Prefecture of Jianzhou. Are you really the Flying Swallow Heroine? "
"They are just a group of weak Rogue Cultivators. I can handle them without Xu Qi 'an's help …" Li Miaozhen nodded and said calmly,
"Everyone, the Nine-Colored Lotus Seed is the Earth Sect's treasure. We are surrounded by powerful enemies, and you are not strong enough to fight for it. If you get involved rashly, you will die. Why don't you give me face and leave? Don't interfere in this matter. "
"This …" Liu Hu's expression changed. He had heard of the Flying Swallow Heroine before. Not only had he heard of her name, it was like thunder in his ears.
This Tenzō Shōnin made her debut two years ago and traveled the Jianghu to uphold justice. She was quite famous in the Jianghu and had countless friends.
If I offend her, all she has to do is talk to me, and I'll probably be hunted down by those who have benefited from her … Although the lotus seeds are tempting, what the Flying Swallow Swordswoman said was not without reason. I'm here to try my luck, and I can't force it until it's time … Liu Hu thought about retreating.
The other Jianghu people were also afraid and did not dare to offend Li Miaozhen.
They might not be afraid of the government or even the imperial court, but they did not dare to offend the Flying Swallow Heroine who had a wide network in the Jianghu.
"As expected of the Flying Swallow Heroine. Her influence is comparable to some famous figures …" White Lotus Taoist Nun, who was watching from afar, nodded slightly.
It seemed that even if Xu Qi 'an didn't show up, Li Miaozhen would be enough.
She then remembered that the Holy Sons and Holy Daughters of the Tenzō had traveled the Jianghu like a goose feather passing through the water. This generation's Holy Daughter, Li Miaozhen, seemed to be different from her predecessors.
As time went on, she became a heroine …
Li Miaozhen smiled and cupped her hands. "Miaozhen thanks you in advance. We will be friends in the future. If you need any help, just let me know. I will do my best to help you. "
The crowd was still reluctant, but with the Flying Swallow Heroine's promise, they were less resistant.
"The Flying Swallow Heroine is so powerful."
A mellow voice came from a middle-aged swordsman with a long beard. He had good facial features and an imposing aura. He held a black scabbard in his hand.
Behind him were more than ten swordsmen in blue robes, including Mr. Liu and his master.
"It's the Ink Pavilion!"
"It's the Pavilion Master, Yang Cuixue."
The rogue cultivators who had been enduring humiliation and compromising with reality now seemed to have found their backbone and took the initiative to approach the Pavilion Master.
Even though there were many sects in the Sword Province, the Ink Pavilion was still one of the top sects.
Li Miaozhen squinted and looked at the bearded swordsman. "Nine Songs Sword Art, Red River Ink Pavilion?"
The Ink Pavilion was a sect that had stood for hundreds of years in the Sword Province. It was said that the founder of the sect comprehended the Dao in the Red River. He watched the nine songs of the Red River and comprehended the supreme sword art.
He built the Ink Pavilion by the Red River.
It was worth mentioning that Yang Cuixue was an experienced fourth-rank cultivator with profound sword art. Her most well-known achievement was fighting two fourth-rank cultivators alone for a day and a night. It was a draw.
"Nice to meet you!"
Yang Cuixue nodded and said in a deep voice, "Wealth can move people's hearts, let alone a treasure like the Nine-Colored Lotus. Isn't it unreasonable for the Flying Swallow Heroine to bully us? "
Li Miaozhen sneered and said, "I've heard that Pavilion Master Yang is an upright and righteous person. You're indeed a reasonable person, but you're just talking nonsense. The Nine-Colored Lotus belongs to the Earth Sect. You've taken it by force and yet you're speaking so righteously. "
She had heard of the Ink Pavilion's Pavilion Master Yang Cuixue. Rumor had it that he was an upright person and admired chivalrous people. He would often give money to famous chivalrous people.
That was why he was jokingly called Philanthropist Yang.
"Heh, the Flying Swallow Heroine is a Tenzō Shōnin. She naturally doesn't know the hardships of us rogue cultivators," someone said sarcastically.
"Why are you still in the Jianghu if you're afraid of death? My cultivation base and this divine weapon were obtained by risking my life. "
"That's right. If you don't fight, how will you know who will die?"
With someone backing them up, the rogue cultivators' tone immediately hardened.
Yang Cuixue shook his head and said, "The Flying Swallow Heroine is a Tenzō Shōnin. She doesn't lack cultivation techniques or famous teachers. How would she know the helplessness of rogue cultivators? Some people are stuck at a grade and can't improve for decades. They want someone to teach them, but they can't find a famous teacher.
"Some people lack a suitable magical artifact, but they have been using ordinary iron for ten years. If they don't fight with their lives, how will they advance? How will they stand out?
"I just think that you can defeat them, or even kill them, but you shouldn't take away their right to fight."
White Lotus Daoist Nun frowned slightly. The disciples behind Li Miaozhen became alert again and prepared for battle.
Li Miaozhen narrowed her eyes. She was a little angry. After being stirred up by this person, the people present were getting restless again.
She couldn't hold it in anymore.
Li Miaozhen held the hilt of her sword and said calmly, "Pavilion Master Yang, are you here on behalf of the Wulin League to stir up trouble?"
The flying swords buzzed and were ready to strike.
Dozens of swordsmen in blue pulled out their swords.
Yang Cuixue raised her hand and held the hilt of her sword. In an instant, the sword aura that Li Miaozhen had activated disappeared.
"The Flying Swallow Heroine is a disciple of Daoism. Her swordsmanship is still lacking," Yang Cuixue said calmly.
It was fine for Li Miaozhen to intimidate the ordinary rogue cultivators of the Pugilistic World, but this Pavilion Master of the Ink Pavilion had a vigorous aura. Even among the fourth-class experts, he was considered a powerhouse … Chu Yuanzhen frowned and no longer stood by and watched.
He stepped forward and said with a smile, "I am Chu Yuanzhen."
Yang Cuixue was stunned. She solemnly cupped her fists and said, "The number one swordsman in the capital, I have heard a lot about you."
Chu Yuanzhen then said, "I wonder if Pavilion Master can give me and Renzong some face?"
Yang Cuixue shook her head. "I am just a Warrior. Renzong is a Daoist. What does that have to do with me and everyone here? As for Brother Chu … forgive me for being blunt. What face does he have? "
Chu Yuanzhen's face darkened.
Yang Cuixue continued, "I am a swordsman. My swordsmanship is upright. If you have anything to say, say it in person. Daoism is far away from the secular world. It is feared and disrespected. The Flying Swallow Heroine is chivalrous, but it is not enough to make us give up on the opportunity before us. Not to mention Brother Chu. "
Liu Hu nodded vigorously.
Li Miaozhen sneered and said, "You've said so much, why don't you just say that no one's face matters? Let's see who's the real deal."
Yang Cuixue shook her head again. "No, it is not that there are none. It is just that the two of you are not enough. Those who serve the country, the people, and those who are loved by the people are all included. "
"Interesting!"
At this moment, Xu Qi'an walked out from behind the disciples. He smiled and said, "I wonder if Pavilion Master Yang will give me face?"
