It was a woman who looked older than her. She carried a black scabbard rune sword on her back. This woman named Yingyi was nearly 30 years old, but she looked at most in her early twenties. She was still in her prime, but she paled in comparison to the owner of the island who was a few steps away from her. She replied respectfully, "The land of Shu is the transition zone between the high and low of the Divine Land. It is like the two forces of east and west fighting against each other here. Therefore, the land of Shu has always been a place where dragons fight against each other. It is difficult to get in and out. Therefore, it can't be the place where dragons rise in the eyes of the world. Those peaceful governments have never been able to affect the general trend of the Central Plains dynasty. This point didn't change because Chen Zhibao entered Shu and was given the title of King. It can be seen that the Minister of War of Li Yang was killing two birds with one stone. It not only restrained the expansion of Beiliang, but also limited Chen Zhibao's own fate. But … but Yingyi couldn't see through one thing. Since our sect entered Shu, there was a huge amount of Great Spirit pouring into the land of Shu. Chen Zhibao took the opportunity to leave Shu and enter Nanzhao. In Nanzhao, there is a County King from the previous dynasty of Li Yang who has been unpopular for a long time. Chen Zhibao should have swallowed this person's fate and become like a tiger with wings. But Chen Zhibao didn't do it in a remote place, which is another strange thing. "
The charcoal girl wrinkled her nose and said, "The land of Shu has been a place where dragons are locked in since ancient times. But at that time, the Emperor of Li Yang didn't have the intention to plot against Chen Zhibao. He intended to place him in the northern territory of Nanjiang with Gu Jiantang in the north and the south, guarding the country's gate. But Chen Zhibao himself insisted on entering Shu. In my opinion, Chen Zhibao is a lunatic with a lofty ambition. He thinks that even if he is alone in Shu County and starts from scratch, he can still achieve great things. He wants to do something that no one has ever done before to show others. There is no man more conceited than him in the world. Senior Sister, don't you think so? "
The master of the Guanyin Sect was noncommittal. She asked, "Girl selling charcoal, can you identify the source of the Great Spirit that entered Shu County?"
The charcoal girl blinked. "Senior Sister, do you really want me to say it?"
The Sect Master seemed to be in a trance for a moment. He changed the topic and said softly, "We're going to Beiliang this time. After we enter the country, we're not allowed to cause any trouble. Especially you, the charcoal girl. Do you hear me?"
The girl lowered her head and said, "Oh."
"If I find out that you went to cause trouble for the King of Beiliang, you will be punished for both crimes."
The charcoal girl, who had been rolling her eyes, suddenly became dispirited. She asked in a sickly voice, "Senior Sister, Đồng Thái is too arrogant. Not only did he raise waves to drown our Guanyin Sect, but why did we allow him to stay on the island as a guest and even let him swagger away? If Senior Apprentice Sister hadn't come out of seclusion in advance, he would've been clamoring to smash the well that suppresses countless demons. Uncle can tolerate this kind of person who barges into our home and causes trouble, but Aunt can't! Senior Apprentice Sister, it's not like you can't beat him. Besides, even if you weren't sure you could win, Đồng Thái had just fought with that old man. The two tigers were locked in a stalemate. Senior Apprentice Sister, you could've taken care of both of them in one go. Then on this trip to Beiliang, wouldn't we be able to ask for a sky-high price and sit on the ground? "
The Sect Master smiled and smacked the charcoal girl's head with a finger. "If your heart isn't in the right place, your Qi won't flow smoothly. If your Qi isn't flowing smoothly, your majestic Qi won't be able to leave your body, just like how a famed sword won't be able to leave its scabbard. What can you do?"
The charcoal girl hugged her head with both hands, looking wronged.
The Sect Master smiled gently. "I know you're saying this on purpose for Senior Apprentice Sister's sake. You're afraid that Senior Apprentice Sister will be obstructed by Đồng Thái and delay your journey. Charcoal girl, you're thinking too much. Even if Senior Apprentice Sister didn't come out of seclusion in advance, she knows that she can't beat Đồng Thái. But so what? Qi cultivators of our generation don't need to compete with others in martial arts. What we need to do is to suppress and subdue those fish that escaped the net. "
The charcoal girl sighed. "Senior Apprentice Sister, there will be countless vengeful ghosts at Guangling Road that need to be exorcised. We can also accumulate merit and it's safe there. Why don't we go there? Why do we have to go to Beiliang and take the risk? "
The Sect Master shook her head. "First of all, there are Qi cultivators in the north who rely on the Zhao clan. If we go there, are we going to fight recklessly? Moreover, there's one more thing to confirm when we go to Beiliang. That is, is this generation's Zhenwu really the one who 'stopped wars'? It wasn't easy for Li Yang to unify the Central Plains. It has only been slightly more than 20 years since the world was settled. If Beiliang were to cause chaos, then …
It would become a huge joke. "
The charcoal girl was stunned for a moment. She asked softly, "To pacify the world for the sake of the enemy. In that case, isn't that person surnamed Xu a bigger joke than the biggest joke in the world?"
The Sect Master turned her head and asked, "Then why do you still harbor resentment towards him?"
The charcoal girl chuckled. "I won't lower myself to his level."
The Sect Master looked at the surface of the lake that was as calm as a mirror. "Alright then, you will take the lead. We have to bring gifts when we visit this time. "
The charcoal girl gave a sound of acknowledgment. Her expression became serious and solemn. The female Qi cultivator who was standing at the side with a sword on her back was a little surprised. She did not understand the reason and could only wait and see. The charcoal girl said that she would first serve the toast and then the punishment wine. She raised her ring finger and dipped it into the lake water and flicked it into the air. It was as if she was lighting up the wine in the cup. She flicked the lake water three times in a row to toast the heaven, earth, and ancestors respectively. After this, more than 90 Qi cultivators who were sitting or sleeping by the lake stood up upon hearing the news. They were as if they were facing a great enemy. After the three toasts, the charcoal girl made hand seals with both hands and said loudly to the people by the lake. They would inject their Qi into their respective talisman swords for the time being and then give up on controlling them. The Qi cultivators of the Guanyin Sect did not care about seniority and did as they were told. One must know that the charcoal girl was born with a strange talent of a sword embryo. Be it Qi cultivation or martial arts, she could achieve twice the results with half the effort.
There were 36 Qi cultivators who carried swords. Only a small portion of them carried a few talisman swords. The one with the most had seven swords in the box and a total of 84 talisman swords on the lake. The sword light shone in all directions and was dazzling in five colors.
Something split open the surface of the lake, revealing a huge and ferocious head.
At the same time, the Sect Master of the Guanyin Sect did not stare at the lake dragon that emerged from the water. Instead, she turned to look at the top of the mountain.
Someone stood there with a white bowl floating in front of him.
