Chapter 579 – Green Clothes Stopping the Road

The giant palm descended from the sky like a mountain peak pressing down on it, causing Li Lingsu to feel a suffocating pressure, not even having the idea of escaping or dodging, with only the thought of waiting for death in her heart.

Li Lingsu looked at the sky in despair as it was covered by the giant palm, his pupils were left with only a golden light, and his consciousness was plunged into boundless darkness.

“Amitabha!”

The sound of chanting the Buddha’s name roused the holy son from his state of muddle, and he looked around in bewilderment; it was a world shrouded in auspicious clouds, with brilliant golden light coming from between the clouds in the sky.

The ears echoed with what seemed to be Brahma’s singing.

At this instant, Li Ling Su’s heart was clear and lucid, without a single distraction, and she couldn’t help but want to fold her hands.

“Who is the giver?”

Resumption of the great voice came, the sky in front, sitting in a huge figure, the floating lotus platform is as big as a small mountain, the white-browed Lohan sitting on the lotus platform is like a giant in the sky.

Li Lingsu felt more and more small, rising the urge to disappear into the empty door.

It was not that Li Lingsu’s mind was not firm, being in the realm of the Buddha and facing a Lohan, it would be strange if he could conserve his heart and not waver.

Only the most unruly martial artist can resist the Buddhist mentality.

“Poor Taoist Li Lingsu, the Holy Son of the Heavenly Sect.”

He confessed his identity in a calm state of mind.

While the precepts of ordinary Zen masters are still traceable and need to be recited with sound, the precepts of Rohan are invisible and untraceable.

“Where is Xu Qian?”

“Green Apricot Garden in the northern suburb of Yongzhou City.” Li Lingsu sold his teammates in a calm state of mind.

“Who’s around?”

The Duo Emotion Lohan smiled lightly with a flick of his flower, not seeing his mouth open, and his magnificent and majestic voice echoed in the Buddhist realm.

“Luo Yuheng, the head of the Human Sect Dao; and the first beauty of the Dafeng, Zhenbei Wangfei Mu Nanjia.”

Li Lingsu said, not even noticing himself that his voice turned sour.

“What is the desire of the day?”

“I wanted to take over the Dragon Qi Host, but I was too late and was shortchanged by the Master.” Li Lingsu lamented.

“Why expose you.”

Rohan asked again.

“I don’t know.” Li Lingsu shook his head and suddenly said sadly, “Xu Qian, this thief is not a proper son, I worked hard all the way and treated him respectfully, but he betrayed me at the critical moment. I should have betrayed him earlier. Not only is he having an affair with Luo Yu Heng, but the most beautiful woman in Dafeng is also his wife. Master, jealousy has made me a disgusting person.”

Like a devotee, he expounded on his own troubles while answering the questions of the Deity Lohan.

The Sentient Lo Han slowly said, “Color is emptiness.”

Li Lingsu was struck by lightning, and the jealousy inside her dissipated, murmuring:

“Colors are empty, colors are empty.”

Repeatedly chanting it over and over again, he seemed to be enlightened.

…………

In the inn.

Daoist Master Xuan Cheng summarized today’s news and said:

“I have inquired about one thing, that Xu Qian has come to Yongzhou before, and seems to have deep dealings with the local Gongsun family, so tomorrow I will pay a visit to the Gongsun Villa.”

When he finished speaking, he looked at Bingyi Yuanjun and waited for the other party’s information.

The Bingyi Yuanlord said indifferently:

“In the past two days, the Buddhist Vajra frequently led the monks out and wandered aimlessly. They should be resting in the Buddhist realm, and I haven’t found an opportunity to take advantage of it to loot the monks to torture them for information.”

Li Miaozhen sat on the side and summarized superfluously, “Today, the two of you have achieved very little.”

Bing Yi Yuanjun and Daoist Xuan Cheng gave her a cold look.

The Bingyi Yuanun said with an expressionless face:

“Traveling down the mountain for two years, Tai Shang Oblivion has not comprehended, and I have learned a lot of oily skills. It seems that confinement for purification is necessary.”

Ah, this, it s all Xu Qi an ……… Li Miaozhen quickly shut up.

Close to Zhu is red and close to the ink is black, she was still a serious holy woman when she led the army in Yunzhou, went to the capital, and hung out with the surname Xu for half a year, gradually catching some of his bad habits.

As he was talking, there were two “duk duk” noises at the window door.

The three Heavenly Sect members looked at the window at the same time, and Daoist Xuan Cheng waved his hand, leaving the window door open.

A sparrow flew in, stood on the edge of the table, and sputtered:

“My name is Xu Qian.”

Xu Qian ……… Bingyi Yuanjun and Xuancheng Daojun, with little expression, looked at each other.

For the Heavenly Sect disciples who lacked emotional fluctuations, this small detail was enough to illustrate the surprise and importance they felt in their hearts.

Xu Qi’an?

Li Miaozhen’s eyes instantly brightened and glowed, that uncontrollable smile just flared up, and then sheepishly suppressed, carefully glanced at her master, saw that she did not pay attention to herself, and was suddenly relieved.

“Heart Compulsion.”

Bingyi Yuanjun examined Sparrow, and along with Daoist Xuancheng, he performed a Daoist salute, “Greetings, fellow Daoist.”

“Two Taoist friends.”

Xu Qi’an resisted the urge to arch his hand with his wings, maintaining the tone of a high ranking person, observing the two Heavenly Sect masters as Daoist Master Xuancheng and Bingyi Yuanjun scrutinized him.

Daoist Master Xuan Cheng wore a chest-length green beard and had a pair of extremely majestic Danfeng eyes, which unconsciously brought the image of Guan Er Master to Xu Qi’an’s mind.

Bingyi Yuanjun was a woman whose age could not be seen, she had extremely outstanding beauty, as well as the unique plump body of a mature woman, her temperament was cold and icy, just like an exquisite puppet without life.

The beautiful, stunning face lacked expression.

As for the exuberant maiden Li Miaochen, Xu Qi’an glanced at her and misplaced his eyes.

He said slowly:

“Your sect’s saint son, Li Lingsu, is traveling the rivers and lakes with me as a companion.”

Daoist Master Xuan Cheng’s face was expressionless and his tone was cold:

“Where are the sinners.”

The fact that he was so cold wasn’t an expression of displeasure, but rather, the Heavenly Clan itself was such a character.

Xu Qi’an said, “Li Lingsu was captured by the Buddhist Luohan.”

When he finished speaking, he didn’t see any emotions such as anger, shock, or worry on the faces of Bingyi Yuanjun and Xuancheng Daolord, the two Heavenly Sect elders had their usual poker faces.

This made Xu Qi’an question his plan.

Could Li Ling Su really make two Heavenly Sect Third Rankers resolve to turn their backs on the Buddhist Sect?

Daoist Xuan Cheng indifferently said:

“Just take it back.

“I’ll trouble you, fellow Daoist, to tell us in detail what happened.”

Whew, your Heavenly Sect is really ……… Xu Qi An sighed with relief and pecked the head of the bird:

“If you don’t mind, my real body is coming over to talk more.”

The Bingyi Yuanlord said in a tone that contained no fluctuations:

“Greetings, fellow Daoist.”

The sparrow pecked its head, lifted its wings and flew away.

The crystal clear pupils of Bingyi Yuanjun reflected the shadow of the sparrow flying away as he withdrew his gaze and transmitted his voice to Daoist Xuan Cheng:

“He’s using the means of heart compulsion.”

Metamorphosis possessing an animal and mind compulsion controlling an animal are two different concepts.

The former’s signature character is the Orange Cat Taoist Master, who is physically unable to move when on the cat.

Mind compulsion, on the other hand, is more like transforming an animal into a doppelganger, or manipulating the animal’s thoughts, emotions, etc.

Daoist Master Xuan Cheng nodded and added:

“The compulsion means are mediocre, not as powerful as we expected, this person’s true cultivation should be of the third rank.”

Their previous judgment of the Xu Qian figure was that it was a third grade bottom, a probable second grade, and unlikely to be a first grade.

Now that they had fought, even though it was only a diversion, it was enough to see some clues for the powerhouses of their segment.

Bingyi Yuanjun and Daoist Xuan Cheng had made their judgments based on the fluctuations of the other party’s Yuan Shen through Xu Qian’s control of the sparrow by means of heart compulsion.

“Duk-duk!”

At that moment, a knock came at the door.

Daoist Master Xuan Cheng said aloud, “Please come in.”

The lattice door pushed open in response, and a blue-robed youth crossed the threshold and entered the guest room.

The pupils of Daoist Xuan Cheng and Daoist Bing Yi Yuanjun were all transparent, and the Heavenly Sect’s “Unity of Heaven and Man” mental method was activated, giving Xu Qi’an an understanding of things.

However, in the eyes of the two Heavenly Sect Third Grade experts, Xu Qian was just like an ordinary person with no cultivation, without any abnormalities.

That’s the biggest anomaly.

The Heavenly Sect’s “Unity of Heaven and Humankind” is a spell that senses heaven and earth and assimilates with nature.

The outward expression of this is to take everything around you and make it your own.

It is likewise an extremely profound means of probing.

However, with their third grade cultivation, they were unable to perceive anything when they probed Xu Qian’s bottom.

Ordinary people?

How could Xu Qian be an ordinary person.

Daoist Master Xuan Cheng and Bing Yi Yuanjun greeted with a slight nod:

“Fellow Daoist, please sit down.”

Li Miaozhen’s bright eyes were firmly glued to him.

Lady Fei Yan tried to look for traces of Xu Qi An on Xu Qian, but she was disappointed, Xu Qian looked calm and gentle, rich in the temperament of a nobleman, calm and introverted.

Xu Qi’an, on the other hand, had a sharp and flamboyant teenage aura with his jumpy eyebrows.

Pretending is quite like, if I didn t know your identity earlier, I couldn t recognize it, no wonder Li Lingsu was fooled by you ……… She muttered in her heart.

After Xu Qi’an took his seat, he met the cold gazes of the two Heavenly Sect experts and opened the door:

“I’m ashamed to say that Li Lingsu was taken captive by the Buddhist Sect because of me.”

At that moment, he briefly recounted his chance encounter with Li Ling Su, his companion’s travels, and the reason why Li Ling Su was captured by Luo Han.

Here he made some changes, claiming that Li Lingsu was too impatient and was lured out by the other party using the Dragon Qi Host as fish bait.

“At that time, Rohan himself was present, so I was unable to come to his rescue, and could only watch as he lost his hand and was captured, narrowly escaping death, which was very tragic.”

Xu Qi’an said, glancing at Daoist Xuan Cheng and Daoist Bing Yi Yuanjun, and unsurprisingly, the two were expressionless.

Never be able to see any change of emotion from the face of the Heavenly Sect Daoist ……… Xu Qi an spat in his heart, and his gaze paused for a moment at Bingyi Yuanjun s pretty face.

Isn’t this the trippy girl from the anime of a previous life, oh no, trippy auntie.

Daoist Xuan Cheng pondered for a long time:

“The Taoists and the Buddhists, it seems, are competing for the Dragon Qi.”

He was asking Xu Qi’an for information about the Dragon Qi.

Xu Qi’an nodded his head, and as a sign of sincerity, he said:

“Dragon Qi is the spirit of the dragon vein, and after Emperor Dafeng was beheaded, it also collapsed due to various accidents. If the Dragon Qi can’t return to its place, the Da Bong Dynasty is in danger of being overthrown.”

Daoist Master Xuan Cheng nodded indistinctly.

Regarding the Dragon Qi, he had several discussions with Bing Yi Yuanjun and had almost guessed the truth, and now that he had received Xu Qian’s confirmation, he was able to confirm that his guesses had not been wrong.

The Bingyi Yuanun commented in a flat tone:

“The Buddhists have been trying to get their hands on the Central Plains.”

Xu Qi’an obediently said, “I have come here to ask for your help in repelling the Buddhist Sect’s Rohan and Vajra and rescuing the Holy Son. We’ll benefit from combining our efforts.”

Is Xu Qi An s tone so wild now …….. Li Miaozhen muttered secretly.

Daoist Master Xuan Cheng did not immediately agree, and after a moment of silence, he said:

“According to what Fellow Daoist said, the Buddha Sect has a Lohan and two Vajrapani, and there’s even a third-ranked warrior from the Tianji Palace, as well as a bunch of fourth-ranked ones. With us alone, how can we repel the Buddha Sect and save the Saint Son?”

The Bingyi Yuanun then said:

“This matter should rightly be reported back to the Heavenly Father for him to decide.”

The people of the Heavenly Sect would not be trapped by the love of master and disciple, it was too difficult to save the Saint Son, they would not hesitate to choose the same as the safe way – to find the Heavenly Father.

It was hard to think of using the love of master and disciple, the friendship of fellow disciples to make provoke them to make a move.

“There’s no rush!”

Xu Qi’an raised his hand, “Both of you listen to me before making a decision …….. In fact, our side also has a peak Second Grade expert, and one that you will not be unfamiliar with.”

Without selling out, he looked toward the door and called out:

“State Master, please come in.”

Bingyi Yuanjun, Daoist Xuan Cheng, and Li Miaozhen, all twisted their heads in unison to look at the door of the room.

A few seconds later, the door to the guest room pushed open once more and in came a tall woman wearing a drapery hat and a Taoist robe.

She waved her hand and the door to the room closed automatically, then, removed her drapery.

The appearance was stunningly beautiful, with a faint sadness condensed between her brows.

It was none other than Human Sect Dao Head Luo Yu Heng, a superpower at the peak of the second grade.

Finally, there was a slight change in expression on the lackluster faces of Daoist Master Xuan Cheng and Bing Yi Yuan Jun.

“Meet the Taoist head.”

The three Heavenly Sect Sect members made a Dao salute in silent agreement.

Luo Yu Heng nodded a bit and sat down beside Xu Qi An, softly saying:

“I’ll be responsible for capturing Rohan, all you guys have to do is clear the way for me and stall the two Vajra. There is no need to fight to the death, just try to entangle them as much as possible.”

Xu Qi’an added, “When the time comes, Sun Xuanji of the Si Tian Supervisor will also contribute.”

Daoist Master Xuancheng and Bingyi Yuanjun had no further objections, and the former nodded slightly:

“Can there be a detailed and well thought out plan?”

Xu Qi’an laughed, “No, no one knows about the existence of the two of you for the time being, and the best plan is for the soldiers to be quick.”

Li Miaozhen pretended that she didn’t recognize Xu Qian and silently listened.

She looked at Xu Qi’an and then at Luo Yuheng, and after carefully recalling, she did not remember that the surname Xu had any deep friendship with the head of the Human Sect Dao ah.

……….

Outside the city of Yongzhou.

A group of people walking on the official road, the road is muddy, on both sides there are still mud-stained snow has not melted.

They were Ji Xuan’s team of seven, as well as the Buddhist sect’s monks led by Pure Heart and Pure Edge.

Miao Youfang was forced to be wrapped up in the team and followed the group out of Yongzhou City.

“Why are you leaving town?”

Xu Yuanhuai, the teenage boy carrying a gun, asked with a frown.

“Because the Buddhist monks are compassionate and don’t want to hurt the innocent.”

Liu Hongmu replied with a smirk, mockery mixed in her tone and expression.

The handsome Pure Heart smiled and explained in a gentle tone:

“Yongzhou is densely populated, and a great battle that erupts in the city is destined to result in heavy deaths and injuries. The Chuzhou City in the Northern Realm was razed to the ground in a melee of a group of Third Grade powerhouses.

“Besides, Xu Qian is a member of the imperial court, so he’s bound not to take the bait.”

Xu Yuanhuai didn’t say anything else, seemingly accepting this.

Miao Youfang couldn’t help himself and cursed:

“If you want to kill or die, just come, if I frown, I am not a warrior. Just before that, you guys at least let me be an understanding ghost.”

He waited viciously for Ji Xuan in front of him:

“You’re their boss, come on, what did I do to you? Chasing me from Qingzhou to Yongzhou, what do you want?

“Did I sleep with your mother or your daughter-in-law.”

Old Taoist Banana Leaf laughed and shook his head:

“The brat has a foul mouth, if you were in Subterranean Dragon City, just based on your words, you would have to be strapped to three clans.

“Strike that, since you are curious, the old Taoist will talk with you.

“Kid, you are now at the Sixth Grade realm, just one step away from condensing into copper skin and iron bones. Let me ask you, how long did it take you to go from Refining God to Copper Skin and Iron Bones?”

Miao Youfang didn’t understand why he brought this up and said in a bad mood:

“One month.”

Old Taoist Banana Leaf asked again, “And how long did it take you to go from the Essence Refining Realm to Qi Practicing?”

Miao Youfang grunted disdainfully:

“I started practicing martial arts when I was nine years old, and I’m twenty-two this year, so how long do you think it took me.”

He can’t actually do the math and is deliberately making a dismissive gesture to hide that fact.

Old Taoist Banana Leaf obediently asked again:

“Whether it’s practicing qi, refining the gods, or even copper skin and iron bones, all of them are extremely time-consuming. Yet you only used a month to store up your dantian and develop your Yuan Shen, and now, the divine light on the surface of your body is faintly visible.

“And you don’t think it’s strange? No thought as to why?”

Miao Youfang’s expression steeped, he quickly thought of the reason and hummed:

“This Grand Master is overly talented and intelligent, jealous?”

Ji Xuan looked back and let out a laugh:

“To say talent, which one here is not better than you? If I’m not mistaken, it’s not how good your qualifications are that you’ve advanced all the way, but rather a series of strange encounters, right?”

Miao Youfang was stunned:

“How do you know.”

Old Taoist Banana Leaf shook his head, “A piker is not guilty of a crime, but a person is guilty of a crime, do you understand.”

Miao Youfang fell silent, his brows furrowed in thought.

Suddenly, he realized that the group had stopped, this group of powerful guys, silently braking their footsteps.

Then, staring ahead at the official road, as if he were an enemy.

Miao Youfang swept over the Banana Leaf Taoist Master, Liu Hongmu and others around him, all of them looked grave, while the teenager carrying the gun had red eyes, as if he had seen his father’s murderer.

The clear woman beside the teenager, with a complex expression, bit her lip in a very girlish gesture.

Miao Youfang raised his eyes and looked into the distance, and saw that on the official road ahead, there was a man blocking the road.

Dressed in a hunter-turned green robe, he wielded a long, narrow-mouthed sword.

……….

PS: I’m out for today, so I’ll go to bed and make up the next chapter tomorrow. Well, I’ll try my best.
