Chapter 400: Face

Xu Qi’an immediately looked at Li Miaozhen and realized that she wasn’t surprised.

“Some loose cultivators are just that, with the strength of the Tiandi Association, it won’t be hard to solve it, right?” He frowned.

Daoist White Lotus explained in a rather helpless tone, ”Those jianghu loose cultivators are the most troublesome, we don’t want to create more killings, but if we ignore them, we are likely to be bitten back.

“With large numbers and meat and potatoes means, it is still a great threat to ordinary disciples. But slaughtering living beings is again a big taboo ………”

“Not even if your life is threatened?” Xu Qi’an asked back in surprise.

White Lotus shook his head and whispered, “The Earth Sect cultivates merit, not the Dao.”

What she means is that the set of asking for a clear conscience does not apply to the Earth Sect, and as long as one kills someone, it will be detrimental to the merit ………. If you understand it from this perspective, it is fine to kill ten evil people, because getting rid of evil is to promote goodness. But those jianghu dispersed cultivators can t be all evil people ……… Xu Qi an had an understanding.

Chu Yuanzhan laughed, “I’ll go help too.”

Hengyuan folded his hands, “Amitabha Buddha, the poor monk will also go and speak to them about Buddhism.”

In fact, Hengyuan is a martial arts monk without a precept scar on his head, and theoretically is not subject to the precepts, so he can eat meat and drink wine, kill people, and penetrate the Flower Kui.

But Hengyuan was an anomaly in that he had always demanded the rules of “meditation” of himself.

Daoist Master Golden Lotus said, “It is not for you to repel those pikers, but rather to make them know what to do and not make trouble when the lotus seeds are ripe.”

The White Lotus Daoist nun continued, “In fact, the Black Lotus deliberately spread the news and lured in these jianghu rangers, with the intention of using them as pawns, and these past few days, they have fully assumed the role of scouting cannon fodder.

“And there are also experts among the scattered cultivators that should not be underestimated. If we can’t solve this hidden danger in advance, this force will give us a huge headache when we duel tomorrow.”

Saying that, the White Lotus Daoist nun kept looking at Li Miaozhen and Xu Qi’an, she had already understood the calculations of the Golden Lotus Daoist head at this point.

Li Miaozhen sniffed and nodded confidently, “I have a few thin names in the jianghu, I have a lot of friends, and those who don’t know me are willing to sell me a few points. Leave it to me.”

Xu Qi’an was about to go along with Li Miaozhen and the others, when Daoist Golden Lotus suddenly called out to him, “Mr. Xu, take half a step back, the poor Taoist has something to say to you.”

With a movement in his heart, he knew why and stopped, gazing at the four Heaven and Earth Association companions as they left.

When their backs disappeared, Daoist Master Golden Lotus beckoned, and the pieces of the Earth Book automatically flew away from Xu Qi’an’s pocket and landed in the old Taoist priest’s palm.

He held the fragment of the ground book and smiled without saying a word.

Seeing this, White Lotus said wisely, “I’ll go outside and watch the battle.”

By the side of the cold pool, only Daoist Golden Lotus and Xu Qi’an remained, and the old Daoist bit his fingertip and drew an incantation in blood on the mirror surface of the fragment of the earth book.

Xu Qi’an padded his feet to peep, but was blocked by Daoist Golden Lotus, “The fragment of the Earth Book is the most precious treasure of my Earth Sect, and since you are unwilling to join my Earth Sect, then the poor Taoist can only follow the rule of “the Tao does not pass on to non-humans”.”

Taoist Master, you don’t have any Internet spirit. What is Internet spirit? It is white whoring! No, it is sharing ah ……… Xu Qi An spat in his heart.

Daoist Master Golden Lotus flexed his fingers and flicked them on the mirror with a ding, and the bloody incantation suddenly lit up before it was hidden in the shards of the earth book.

Xu Qi’an’s brain went “boom”, as if a thunderbolt had struck his mind, followed by intense pain, pain from the soul.

He covered his head, his face twitching hard for a good ten seconds before the pain dissipated.

“A magic treasure that recognizes its owner is a part of its owner, and forcibly severing it is like chopping off an arm ……….” Daoist Master Golden Lotus put away the fragment of the Third Earthly Book and laughed:

“If you continue to carry it, the Black Lotus will still be able to sense it. Therefore, I will keep it for the time being, and return it to you when it’s over.”

Xu Qi’an watched blearily as the fragment of the Earth Book was taken into the arms of Daoist Master Jinlian, like a cabbage that had been raised for eighteen years being arched away by a pig, worried:

“Taoist Master, you must keep it safe, and return it to me afterward.”

Daoist Master Golden Lotus smiled and said, “It seems that you have a very strong sense of belonging to the Heaven and Earth Society.”

Xu Qi’an shook his head, his face serious, “No, it’s because there’s my wife’s book in the Earth Book fragment.”

And it’s a wife book x 10 ……..

…………..

The outskirts of Moon’s Villa.

In the area that had been bombarded into ruins by the artillery fire, dozens of Jianghuans were confronting the disciples of the Tiandihui Society.

There was just a brief firefight here, each with injuries, but no one was killed.

“Little Taoist priests, get out of the way, the great masters are seeking treasures and don’t want to hurt anyone’s life.”

“That’s right, don’t blame us for being impolite if you dare to get in the way of this great masters again.”

Dozens of Jiang Hu people scattered around, waving their blades and cursing threats.

The disciples of the Heaven and Earth Society who confronted them were holding flying swords, jade rulers, copper cones, cloth quills, and other magical weapons in their hands, and they didn’t take half a step back.

A wonderful young girl raised the sword in her hand and chided, “Bah, a group of shameless people, coveting my Tiandi Association’s greatest treasure and taking it by force, dream on.”

“Hmph!”

At the sound of a cold grunt, a fat and stout fat man rushed out, carrying two basalt hammers in his hands.

The young girl wearing a Taoist robe with a clear brow was undaunted as she gently threw her flying sword, and a sharp cracking sound rang out.

“Ding!”

Sparks flew everywhere, and the fat man who was lightly high on flying swords let out a fierce laugh as his double hammers smashed heavily into the young girl.

But he did not smash down, a pair of porcelain white small hands blocked the hammer, it is a woman’s hands, well boned, slender and small, strange, these hands blocked the hammer, neither came from the qi fluctuation, and did not resound the sound of gold and stone collision.

Resisting such a powerful strike with just his flesh and blood?

Seeing this scene, both the disciples of the Tiandi Association and the Jianghu good guys on the other side found it unbelievable.

The one who struck was a beautiful young girl with deep blue eyes and wheat-colored skin.

Southlanders are so distinctive.

The fat fat man’s face changed, his rich combat experience allowed him to make the right judgment without thinking, quickly abandoning the Xuan Iron Heavy Hammer and quickly retreating.

“Are all you men of the Central Plains limp-wristed, making such lightweight contraptions?”

Lina carried two hammers in her hands, tossing them around like a little girl playing with her muppets.

Over there, the crowd of Jianghu people froze and watched this scene, unable to control the shock on their faces, not to mention the battle power, just with this Qi, it crushed all of them.

“Southern Border Compulsion Clan, Force Compulsion Department?”

Someone frowned and muttered with less certainty.

Lina’s azure pupils swept over the crowd, grinned, revealing her small tiger teeth, and said heatedly, “You have a saying in the Middle Kingdom, it’s not polite to come and go.”

Except for a few experts, the crowd of Jianghu people were aghast and quietly gripped their blades.

“Click …….”

Lina cracked the floor tiles with one foot, like a crossbow arrow, and shot into the crowd.

In a flash, people tumbled and screamed, and she pounded over a hanyou with her fist, her strength was boundless, favoring her agility and physical skills.

After a dozen rounds, no one could oppose them.

So strong …….. The eyes of the disciples of the Heaven and Earth Association lit up with exhilaration.

Their previous attention was all on Li Miaozhen and Xu Qi’an as well as Chu Yuanzhuan, ignoring this foreign little girl, thinking that she was an add-on, but not expecting to be so powerful.

It wasn’t until a man with a copper stick stepped in that he was able to contain Lina’s attack.

Dozens of people, led by the bronze stick man, formed a closed circle, plus there were a few concealed weapons in the crowd, throwing a few handfuls of concealed weapons with tricky angles from time to time.

Multiple parties worked together to finally get the advantage back.

Taking advantage of the several companions pestering this foreign maiden, the man who made the copper stick bellowed, whirled around, and swung his stick, breaking the air with a mournful sound.

Lina raised her hand, once again using her palm as a primary weapon, and she raised her foot and kicked it straight up, sending the hanyou flying out, chattering blood.

“Lina, that’s enough.”

Li Miaozhen circled out from behind the crowd of disciples and stopped them with a loud voice.

Both sides of the fierce battle stopped at once.

Lina casually discarded the copper stick and, with long, strong thighs, walked through the crowd and returned to Li Miaozhen.

“You, you’re Flying Swallow Woman?!”

A jianghu man recognized Li Miaozhen.

Lady Flying Swallow? The crowd scrutinized Li Miaozhen and their faces changed slightly.

The Heavenly Sect Holy Maiden swept over the group of jianghu pikers and asked, “Who is the leader?”

She knew the jianghu well, and if there was a situation that required unity, the jianghu people would elect one of the most prestigious, or chivalrous person as the temporary leader.

Sometimes, fame and prestige were even more important than strength, and while strength could make people scorn and fear, only fame could convince them.

The burly man covered his abdomen and staggered forward, cupping his fists and saying, “Jianzhou Nanhuai County, Liu Hu. Is the girl really Lady Fei Yan?”

It’s just a group of loose cultivators with little strength, I can take care of it without Xu Qi’an’s intervention ………. Li Miaozhen nodded and faintly said:

“Gentlemen, the Nine-Colored Lotus Seed is the Earth Sect’s greatest treasure, and now that we are surrounded by powerful enemies, you are not strong enough to compete for it. Participating rashly will only lead to death, why don’t you sell me face and retreat. Do not meddle in this matter.”

This ………. Liu Hu’s face shifted, Fei Yan female warrior’s name he had heard of, not only heard of, simply like a thunderclap.

This Holy Daughter of the Heavenly Sect had traveled the jianghu since her debut the year before, practicing chivalry and fighting for justice, and she had quite a reputation in the jianghu, with countless friends.

If I offend her, just need to move my mouth, I may be wanted by people who have received her favor to deal with ……… Lotus although tempting, but Fei Yan warrior said is not unreasonable, this time was supposed to touch the chance to come, the chance is not yet can not be forced … ….. Liu Hu heart to retreat.

The other Jianghu people were equally scrupulous and did not dare to offend Li Miaozhen.

They might not be afraid of the government or even put the court in their eyes, but they didn’t dare to offend the Fei Yan Lady who had a wide range of connections in the jianghu.

Worthy of being a Flying Swallow warrior, this influence, has been comparable to some highly respected and famous ……….. The White Lotus Daoist nun watching from afar nodded slightly.

It seemed that even if Xu Qi’an didn’t step forward, having Li Miaozhen would be enough.

She whirled to think that all the generations of the Heavenly Sect’s saint sons and daughters traveling the rivers and lakes were like a hair over water, point blank, and this generation’s saint daughter, Li Miaozhen, seemed to be different from her predecessors.

Mixing it up and becoming a generational warrior woman ………

Li Miaochen smiled, arched her hand and said, “Miaochen thanked you all first, in the future when we meet in the jianghu, we will be friends, if there is anything you need help with, just ask. Miaozhen will definitely do her best to help.”

The crowd was still reluctant, but with the Flying Swallow Lady’s verbal promise, the resistance was lowered a bit.

“Mistress Fei Yan is so powerful.”

A mellow voice came from the owner of the voice, the owner of the voice was a middle-aged swordsman with a beautiful beard, his features were straight, his demeanor was impressive, and he was carrying a black sheath green blade in his hand.

Behind him, followed by a dozen or so blue-shirted swordsmen, Duke Liu and his master were among them.

“It’s the Inkwell!”

“It’s Pavilion Master Yang Cui Xue.”

The scattered cultivators who had endured humiliation and compromised with reality a moment before seemed to have a backbone at this moment and took the initiative to lean over.

Even in the Sword State, where there are as many sects as there are cowhides, the Mo Pavilion is a large sect that ranks at the forefront.

Li Miaozhen squinted her eyes and sized up the beautifully bearded swordsman: “Nine Quarters Sword Technique, Red River Ink Pavilion?”

The Ink Pavilion is a sect that has stood for a hundred years in the Sword State, with a deep heritage. It is rumored that the founding ancestor of the sect was enlightened in the Red River, observing the nine curves of the Red River and realizing the supreme sword technique.

On the banks of the Red River, the Ink Pavilion was established.

It was worth mentioning that Yang Cui Xue was a senior Fourth Grade with profound sword skills. The most widely known battle record is that she fought two fourth grades alone for a day and a night, with a tie.

“Nice to meet you!”

Yang Cui Xue nodded and said in a deep voice, “The so-called wealth still moves people’s hearts, not to mention treasures like the Nine-Colored Lotus. Is it not too unreasonable for Mistress Fei Yan to use her power to oppress others.”

Li Miaozhen laughed coldly, “I’ve heard that Pavilion Master Yang is upright and upright, a decent person, and indeed a reasonable person who speaks crooked truths. The nine-colored lotus flower is originally a thing of the Earth Sect, you and the others are taking it by force, but you are talking about it in such a grandiose manner.”

She had heard of the name of Yang Cui Xue, the owner of the Ink Pavilion, and it was rumored that this person had a decent style and appreciated chivalrous people the most, often gifting silver taels to reputable jianghu chivalrous people.

Therefore, he was jokingly called Yang Dazhan.

“Hehe, Mistress Fei Yan is the Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Sect, so naturally, she doesn’t know the suffering of the scattered people like us.” Someone said in a conspiratorial manner.

“What’s the point of traveling the jianghu if you’re afraid of death? This cultivation and this divine weapon of mine were all spelled out with my life.”

“That’s right, if we don’t put up a fight, how do we know who will die in the end?”

With someone to back them up, the loose cultivators immediately hardened their tone of voice.

Yang Cui Xue shook her head and said, ”Mistress Fei Yan is the Holy Daughter of the Heavenly Sect, there is no shortage of techniques or famous masters, so how could she know the helplessness of the casual cultivator. Some people are stuck at a grade and cannot advance an inch for decades, and they want to seek guidance, but they cannot find a famous master.

“Some people lack a handy magic weapon, but make mortal iron for ten years as one day. How can they advance without using their lives to gamble? How to excel?

“Yang just thinks that you can defeat them, or even kill them, but you shouldn’t deprive them of their qualifications to fight for it.”

The White Lotus Daoist nun’s eyebrows knitted lightly, while the disciples behind Li Miaozhen were back on alert and ready to fight.

Li Miaozhen narrowed her eyes, a little annoyed that the pikers present were dumbfounded again after being stirred up by this person.

She couldn’t keep it down.

Li Miaozhen pressed the hilt of her sword and faintly said, “Pavilion Master Yang is here to stir up this muddy water on behalf of the Martial Arts Alliance?”

The flying sword buzzed and chirped, ready to fire.

A dozen or so blue-shirted swordsmen, drew their swords.

Yang Cui Xue raised her hand and pressed on the hilt of the sword, and in an instant, the sword momentum inspired by Li Miaozhen vanished.

“Mistress Fei Yan is a disciple of the Taoist Sect, her swordsmanship is ultimately inferior.” Yang Cui Xue faintly said.

Li Miaozhen shocked the ordinary Jianghu loose cultivators is no harm, but this pavilion master of the Ink Pavilion has a thick qi, and even in the fourth grade, he is also a strong person ……… Chu Yuanjian frowned and no longer stood by and watched.

Stepping out, he smiled and said, “I am Chu Yuanjian.”

Yang Cui Xue froze and solemnly clasped his fists, “Capital City First Swordsman, I’ve heard a lot about you.”

Chu Yuanzhen whirled around and said, “I wonder if Pavilion Master can give me face and the Human Sect face?”

Yang Cui Xue shook his head: ”Yang Mou is just a martial artist, the Human Sect is a Taoist Sect, what does it have to do with me, and what does it have to do with the large group present? As for brother Chu …….. I’m sorry to say that there is nothing to build on, what face is there?”

……… Chu Yuanjian s face sank.

Yang Cui Xue continued, “Mister Yang is a swordsman, and the Way of the Sword is in the straight line, so if you have anything to say, say it to my face. The Taoist sect is far away from the red dust, which makes people fear but not respect. Mistress Fei Yan’s chivalrous behavior is not enough to make us give up the opportunity before us. Brother Chu is even more so.”

Liuhu nodded vigorously.

Li Miaozhen coldly laughed: “Said a whole lot, directly say who’s face is useless is not it, let’s still see the real thing under the hand.”

Yang Cui Xue shook his head again, “Nonetheless, it’s not that there aren’t any, it’s just that the two of you aren’t enough. Those who are for the country, those who are for the people, and those who are loved by the people are all in it.”

“Interesting!”

At this time, Xu Qi’an came out from around behind the crowd of disciples and walked with a smile on his face, saying, “I wonder if Mister Xu’s face is given by Pavilion Master Yang?”
