"A spy?"
Galo Tree Bodhisattva's avatar asked in a relaxed tone.
"Teacher Supervisor is a Heaven's Fate Master. He's best at setting up traps. A long time ago, I thought that as long as I got rid of Empress Zhen De's three avatars and Wei Yuan, I would be able to gain power.
"Fortunately, I've never underestimated him. After countless deductions in seclusion, I've gradually discovered some well-hidden spies."
Xu Pingfeng paused for a moment, raised his cup and drank his tea.
He smiled and said, "The Wulin League is Teacher Supervisor's spy. It's like an army raised in the Pugilistic World. It doesn't belong to the Imperial Court, but it's very powerful.
"Most of the time, it's just a Pugilistic World force. But one day, when the Imperial Court is corrupt and the army is weak, this secret army will be able to play a vital role.
"To quell rebellions."
Galo Tree nodded, "The Wulin League has already secretly sided with the Supervisor?"
He didn't know much about the Pugilistic World forces in the Central Plains. The Wulin League wasn't qualified to be noticed by a First-class Bodhisattva.
Xu Pingfeng shook his head, "No, that old man won't side with anyone. What a pity, what a pity. "
Galo Tree Bodhisattva played with the brightly glazed teacup and waited for the white-robed Warlock to explain.
"This person had an agreement with Emperor Gaozu. If the Imperial Court becomes corrupt and follows the Zhou Dynasty's footsteps, he'll rise up and overthrow Daibun."
"At first glance, it sounds like an ally that can be roped in.
"Actually, it's not. The current Daibun is different from the Zhou Dynasty of the past. The Zhou Dynasty's fate has come to an end. It's rotten to the core and can't be saved."
"After the execution of Yuan Jing, the new Emperor of Daibun ascended to the throne. In the eyes of many knowledgeable people, this is a sign that the Imperial Court is revitalized. The cold disaster is a natural disaster. Natural disasters will pass eventually. Moreover, the Imperial Court is also working hard to provide relief.
"This means that the Imperial Court isn't so corrupt that it can't do anything.
"Moreover, from the old man's point of view, this is caused by the loss of Daibun's Dragon Breath. Helping the Imperial Court find Dragon Breath is definitely better than starting a war that engulfs the Central Plains. "
Xu Pingfeng picked up the teapot and poured some hot tea into the teacup.
"What I regret is that the old man is a martial artist who is determined to reach the peak of martial arts. Their pursuits are different, so they are destined to never be allies."
If he was an ambitious person, he would definitely not let go of such a good opportunity.
"Martial Saint" Galo Tree said.
Xu Pingfeng waved his hand, and the tea tray, porcelain, and other objects on the table quickly twisted and transformed, turning into a chessboard and two boxes of chess pieces.
"Chen Head. of. of. of. of. of, and." Dao Master. "
"The Transcendent experts of the Great Feng camp, the supervising teacher, the head of the Human Sect, Zhao Shou of the Confucian school, and Xu Qi 'an."
"Daibun's Faction. Master Supervisor, Taoist Master Renzong, Zhao Shou, and Xu Qi 'an."
"Zhao Shou's life is to build the backbone of the Confucian Faction and return to glory. To him, it doesn't matter who sits on the throne. He's even more willing to see someone replace the current Imperial Court.
"Only then will the Confucian Faction have a chance to shine. Moreover, the Confucian Faction is weak. He's the only third-rank cultivator. If he participates in the battle for Dragon Breath, he might die.
"He might not be afraid of death, but the Confucian Faction won't let him die. I don't have to worry about him. "
Xu Pingfeng put the chess piece representing Zhao Shou back into the box.
"Luo Yuheng is about to undergo her tribulation. Although she has become my daughter-in-law and has quelled the Karmic Fire for the first time, it is still not enough. However, this also means that she is one step closer to the Heavenly Tribulation. Now, she needs to balance the ever-growing mana and hellfire. Once she loses balance, the Heavenly Tribulation will come in an instant. "
He put back the chess piece representing Luo Yuheng.
"Xu Qi 'an hasn't recovered his cultivation. He's at most an early-stage third-rank cultivator. It's nothing to worry about. "
He gently threw the chess piece representing Xu Qi 'an back into the box.
"The old bastard from the Wulin League isn't in his right state. After the battle in the capital, I predicted that his condition would worsen. Now, he's probably on the brink of failing his Dao Integration and facing the danger of his body collapsing.
"Then, to protect the Wulin League, Supervisor has to take action personally. Cloud Prefecture's predicament will naturally be resolved. "
Garuda Bodhisattva put his palms together and said calmly,
"I believe you have long prepared the saber to destroy the Wulin League."
Xu Pingfeng smiled and said, "I wasn't prepared previously. Now, I've been waiting for that opportunity."
…
At the borders of Azure Prefecture, in a dilapidated temple in the suburbs.
Jingxin, who had been meditating for several days, opened his eyes. He slowly got up and walked out of the dilapidated temple.
He stood in the courtyard and looked into the distance silently. After a long while, Jingxin returned.
Vajra didn't need to eat, but as fourth-rank cultivators, they still had bodies of flesh and blood. They still had to eat.
The fellow disciples exchanged looks as Jingxin sighed.
"I can't enter a meditative state."
Jingxin came to a realization, but he still asked, "Why?"
Jingxin said softly,
"Mental demons have invaded me.
During this period of time, the battle outside Yongzhou City has repeatedly flashed through my mind. The scene of my fellow disciples being killed by him with one strike flashed past my mind.
Fear and anger constantly burn my heart, preventing me from calmly entering a meditative state. "
Jingxin fell silent for a moment before his expression turned cold. "What is your grand wish?"
Jingxin didn't hide the truth. "I chose the Bandit Slayer Fruit Realm."
The Bandit Slayer Fruit Realm had two abilities: Sever all worries in the world and slay all enemies in the world.
The former could sever one's worries and the worries of others.
The latter was pure violence. It wiped out the existence of the other party from the roots. In layman's terms, it was killing.
Jingyuan said indifferently, "Senior Brother, this is your opportunity.
"Senior apprentice-brother, this is your opportunity.
"Your troubles started because of him. If you can end it because of him, you will be able to achieve the Karma of Killing Thieves and enter the Arhat Realm."
Jingxin's eyes were blank. "Killing him is easier said than done."
Making a grand wish was a necessary step to cultivating to the Dao Realm. As for the grand wishes related to the Bandit Slayer Fruit Realm, there were two methods.
One: Kill a great enemy of the Buddhists or kill a few mortal enemies.
It was very difficult to achieve the grand wish of killing a great enemy of the Buddhists. This was because a great enemy of the Buddhists wasn't someone a fourth-grade ascetic monk could deal with.
Killing a few mortal enemies was equally difficult. Since they were mortal enemies, there was definitely the danger of death at any moment.
Two: Sever one's mental demons.
This path looked simple at first glance, but it was actually even more elusive. It was very likely that one wouldn't be able to achieve it in their entire lives. Some ascetic monks might not even be able to touch their mental demons until their deaths.
Jingxin wanted to cultivate to the Dao Realm and become an Arhat. Killing Xu Qi 'an was the method with the highest chance of success, but it also had the highest chance of death …
Jingxin fell silent.
Arhat Buddhahood is something that can only be cultivated by people with great luck and fortune.
At that moment, a black-robed and hooded Heavenly Secrets Palace secret agent arrived outside the dilapidated temple along the mountain path.
Jingxin and Jingyuan stopped their conversation at the same time and looked over.
"I want to meet the two Vajras."
The secret agent said.
Did Uncle-Master and Master's orders come? Jingxin pressed his palms together.
"Please come in."
The secret agent nodded and strode into the temple.
The temple wasn't big. In front of the toppled mountain god statue sat two Vajras with dark-golden skin and burning rings on the back of their heads.
"The Palace Lord has a secret letter for the two of you."
The secret agent took out an envelope and respectfully handed it over with both hands.
Du Nan opened his palm and the envelope flew into his palm. He opened it and read it, then said in a muffled voice,
After opening it, he said in a muffled voice, "Is there anything else?"
The secret agent then took out a metal box and bowed, saying, "I'm not sure.
"The Palace Lord wants me to pass this to the two of you."
Du Nan received it but didn't open it. He nodded and said, "We are already aware of it."
Upon hearing that, the secret agent bowed and pressed his palms together before leaving the temple.
Outside the courtyard, Jingxin and Jingyuan watched the secret agent leave before entering the temple together.
Du Nan swept his gaze at the two of them.
"Galo Tree Bodhisattva has ordered us to immediately set off for the Sword State and destroy the Wulin League."
Wulin League? As Buddhist disciples of the Western Regions, Jingxin and Jingyuan were very unfamiliar with the Daibun organization.
Du Nan didn't answer. Instead, he opened the metal box.
A resplendent golden light shone into Jingxin and Jingyuan's eyes, blinding them so much that they subconsciously closed their eyes.
At the same time, a majestic power that left one's soul trembling filled the temple's space.
The surrounding air turned scorching hot as though they were facing a volcanic eruption. Their lungs were burning.
"Pa!"
Du Nan closed the metal box in a timely manner. The array formation engraved on the surface took effect, shielding the terrifying power.
"This is a drop of Galo Tree Bodhisattva's blood essence. It can allow me or Junior Brother Du Nan to cast the Diamond Dharma Aspect for a short period of time."
The ugly Shura Metal Rigidity gave an explanation.
Galo Tree Bodhisattva's blood essence … Jingxin and Jingyuan exchanged looks and held their breaths.
Du Nan said, "The Palace Lord wants us to head north to the Yu State and rendezvous with Ji Xuan and company."
…
So the Sword State has such a history. I've never heard of it … Li Lingsu came to a realization as he took a bite of tanghulu. He had to admit that he was somewhat impressed by Xu Qi 'an.
This person was the Left Imperial Preceptor, Princess Consort, and had a group of beautiful women in the capital. He was scum.
But be it his cultivation level or knowledge, he far exceeded his peers.
As the Tenzō Saint, Li Lingsu was bound to be proud. He also had the right to be so.
Before he stepped into the pugilistic world, he had boasted that he was one of the best of the younger generation in the nine states. He was one of the few people who stood at the pinnacle, and that was indeed the case.
However, Xu Qi 'an had appeared among this generation of youths.
It made all the young talents pale in comparison.
Even the experts of the older generation who had been famous for a long time had to sigh with emotion. The younger generation will surpass us in time.
"Is that so …"
Miao Youfang listened with relish and said, "I've never heard of such an interesting history in books before."
Although he was literate, he didn't read much. At most, he was just a beginner.
Most of his cultural knowledge came from the storyteller, just like the Battle of Shanhai Pass. Even now, some restaurants and teahouses still played the same old stories.
Miao Youfang had heard a lot of unofficial and official history from the storyteller, so he believed that the storyteller knew all the history.
"Do you know how secret, how important, and how valuable the things Xu Qian just mentioned are?"
Li Lingsu sneered and bickered out of habit.
"You know it again?" Miao Youfang also bickered out of habit. Then, he said, "Tell me about it."
Li Lingsu snorted and said,
"These secrets may not be useful, but they are definitely of a very high level, and people without a certain status can't get in touch with them. This will help you see the nature of the world and settle down.
"Heh, now you're full of vulgar words like 'his grandma', 'me', 'sleeping with women', and so on."
But I'm not cultured, so I can only say 'f * ck' … Xu Qi 'an concluded in his heart.
Miao Youfang didn't care. "Isn't a Warrior vulgar?"
Li Lingsu was speechless for a moment and was speechless. After a moment of silence, he said,
"But you're different now. Being Xu Qian's follower is a turning point in your life. If you continue to be vulgar, you won't be able to enter the hall of elegance."
Miao Youfang glanced at Xu Qi 'an and stopped arguing.
"Then how should I change?"
Xu Qi 'an smiled and said, "First of all, you have to pay attention to self-restraint. Don't use vulgar words. For example, change' you're a scum 'to' are you Li Lingsu '."
Scum actually mocked me as a scum … Li Lingsu chuckled and said, "Senior Xu, you're really humble."
Xu Qi 'an pointed at the Saint and looked at Miao Youfang.
"Look, this is another example. Learn from them."
The little white fox listened to the crosstalk of three human males. She raised her head and looked at Mu Nanzi, saying in a sweet voice,
"Auntie, do I have to learn too?"
Mu Nanzi curled her lips, "You'll become a failure. Don't bother with them."
Xu Qi 'an looked back at the reincarnation of the Flower God with a smile. The latter stared back at him with her bright and moist eyes.
"You know the Sword Province so well. Have you traveled there before?"
Xu Qi 'an asked the question that had been on his mind for a long time.
Li Lingsu nodded, "The Sword Province is not too far from Tenzō. After my junior sister and I go down the mountain, the Sword Province will be our second stop."
"Tenzō is not far from the Sword Province …" Xu Qi 'an silently noted it down and continued to ask,
"Do you have a lover?"
Li Lingsu avoided answering.
This made Xu Qi 'an a little curious. Li Lingsu never thought of himself as a scumbag. Therefore, he didn't shy away from messing around with men and women. It was rare for him to have such a secretive attitude.
A normal love would not be like this. It seemed that it was a love that was not easy to talk about … Then the problem must be with the woman. A married woman?
Thinking of this, Xu Qi 'an instinctively looked back at Mu Nanzi.
"Why are you looking at me?!"
Mu Nanzi raised her eyebrows and was furious.
When the topic of lover was mentioned, Xu Qi 'an turned to look at her. It was clear that he put her in the position of "lover".
The arrogant and noble reincarnation of the Flower God would not admit that she was a lover.
Miao Youfang snorted, "I heard that there are many beautiful women in Wan Hua Lou in the Sword Province. Brother Li, if you are really a romantic man, you will definitely not let her go."
Xu Qi 'an nodded slowly,
"That's true. There are indeed many beautiful women in Wan Hua Lou in the Sword Province. There are young girls in their prime, charming beauties, and mature women … Especially Xiao Yuenu, the owner of Wan Hua Lou. She is an outstanding beauty.
"That figure, that appearance, that temperament, that charm …"
Suddenly seeing Mu Nanzi's gloomy face, he quickly changed the topic, "She is not even as good as Mu Nanzi."
It was not flattery. Even a beauty like the National Master was not as good as the reincarnation of the Flower God.
It was not the difference in facial features and temperament. It was a feeling that could not be described with words.
Xu Qi 'an interpreted this feeling as the unique "charm" of the Flower God.
But it was undeniable that Xiao Yuenu's overall score was definitely the best of the best.
"There are many beautiful women in Wan Hua Lou …" Miao Youfang's face was full of yearning.
Li Lingsu didn't say anything. She rode her horse and galloped away.
Miao Youfang hurried to catch up with him and flattered him,
"Brother Li, do you really have a lover in Wan Hua Lou? I haven't found a wife yet. Introduce me to her. From now on, you are my biological brother, no, my biological father … "
Xu Qi 'an watched as the pair of clowns ran away. Mu Nanzhi's sarcastic voice drifted into his ears.
"Did someone's heart fly to Xiao Yuenu's side?"
"Yes, yes, I have already taken her virginity from a thousand miles away."
Because of this sentence, Xu Qi 'an's head was smashed by broken stones.
…
Yuzhou.
Ji Xuan and the others went out to search for the owner of Dragon Breath. When they returned, they saw nine uninvited guests in their temporary residence.
They were all wearing black robes. The difference was that eight of them were slightly fat and seemed to be wearing armor under their black robes.
The other one was of a normal build.
The Seven Constellations of the Cang Dragon and a secret agent of the Tianji Palace.
Before stepping into the yard, Ji Xuan had already sensed that there were people in the hall. He greeted them without any surprise.
"Sorry to keep you waiting."
He took Liu Hongmian, Xu Yuanshuang, and the others to the other side and sat down. He said in a deep voice,
"What happened?"
Without an emergency, the Seven Constellations of the Cang Dragon and the secret agents of Yuzhou would not come together.
The secret agent of Yuzhou picked up the secret letter next to him and threw it out.
Ji Xuan caught it and opened it with a puzzled look.
After reading it, he looked serious.
"Seventh Brother?"
Xu Yuanhuai asked.
Ji Xuan gave the letter to him.
Xu Yuanhuai opened his eyes wide in disbelief.
"Father wants us to destroy the Wulin League?
"There is a Nine Dragon owner in the Wulin League …"
