I wish for longevity in the Peach Blossom Temple

Chapter 28: The End of the World

"Master Su, how did Master Li die?"

When Xu Wanxing saw Su Yang carrying Li Suiyuan's body back to Taohua Temple, he could no longer suppress the anger in his heart.

After waiting for a whole day in Taohua Temple, this is the result.

He was sure that he was not an impulsive person. As the city lord, he should live a life of luxury, but today, for some reason, he just couldn't suppress his anger.

"I traveled with Master Li through the clouds to help him fulfill his long-cherished wish and complete his life's painting. He died when the painting was finished."

"Oh? I wonder where the painting is?"

Xu Wanxing was ecstatic.

It was not important to Li Suiyuan whether he lived or died; what was important was the paintings he created before his death.

Xu Wanxing has been a fifth-rank Fenghuo Grandmaster for ten years. Although he looks middle-aged, his actual age is close to seventy.

It is a well-known fact that martial arts do not lead to longevity.

The fifth-rank Fenghuo Grandmaster, the Lord of Linjiang City, may seem glorious, but his life span is no more than 120 years. Moreover, when a warrior grows old, his blood and energy will begin to dry up.

Only when one enters the realm of the Martial Saint with Dan in his arms can one possess all kinds of supernatural powers, be able to step on the void, shake mountains with one's fist, and live for more than two hundred years.

If Master Fenghuo wants to improve his realm, the best way is to consume natural treasures. The second best way is to comprehend the true diagram of martial arts that contains the meaning of Taoism. The principle is somewhat similar to that of fellow practitioners of Taoism. Finally, there are other more mysterious and unpopular methods.

For example, tailoring a true martial arts intention for yourself is more magical than comprehending the martial arts of others.

This is also the reason why Master Danqing is very popular in the Great Zhou.

Li Suiyuan's paintings have a glimmer of possibility.

can not miss.

Su Yang raised his eyebrows, unfolded the scroll in his hand, and said, "This is the work of Master Li's life's work. It must be a rare treasure. The city lord can take a look."

Xu Wanxing hurried forward to take a look.

"Yes, yes, there is indeed a hidden meaning of Taoism."

He applauded continuously as he watched, he was worthy of being a master of painting, every stroke of his ink revealed a mysterious feeling of immortality, mountains, rivers, grass, the sun in the sky, cranes flying together, and a young swordsman holding a sword and asking...?
Xu Wanxing's excited face gradually stiffened.

He looked at Su Yang again and compared him with the painting.

Confirmed to be Su Yang.

Looking at Su Yang's aura again, it has improved greatly compared to before.

His face suddenly became as gloomy as water.

"Su Yang! You've taken away my opportunity!"

The unconcealable anger was revealed between his gritting teeth, and Xu Wanxing's eyes were filled with rage.

Yes, Li Xiuyuan’s paintings do contain Taoist ideas, but the character in the painting has become Su Yang!
His original intention was to let Li Xiuyuan add himself in the painting, so that he could ask someone to transform it into a true martial arts intention and help him enter the sixth level.

But if the person in the painting was replaced by Su Yang, he would never be able to comprehend the true meaning of martial arts!
"Why do you say that, City Lord Xu? What Master Li painted is what he thought in his heart. I am definitely not forcing him." Su Yang said.

"Master Su, Master Li is dead. How can you prove it?"

Xu Wanxing was like an angry lion, staring at Su Yang with fierce eyes.

Su Yang was silent.

Li Suiyuan was indeed dead, so he naturally could not testify for him. Moreover, seeing Xu Wanxing so furious, Su Yang could guess that there was something strange going on.

It was nothing more than Xu Wanxing wanting to improve his martial arts, and using his position as city lord, he forced Li Suiyuan to shape his true intentions in martial arts. However, Li Suiyuan was unwilling to do so. What he wanted was the way of the world, to sit in the clouds.

As for the proof
Su Yang looked at the furious Xu Wanxing, and said with a smile, "I have already explained the situation to City Lord Xu, so there is no need for proof."

"you!"

Xu Wanxing only felt a surge of anger rushing to his head.

"Su Yang, you committed a crime in public in Linjiang City, and I suppressed everyone's gossip and let you go. I didn't expect that you would take away my opportunity today."

"Today, I will catch the real murderer!"

After saying that, Xu Wanxing boldly drew out the precious sword from his waist. The sword flashed with a sharp edge, which was full of murderous aura. It was also fueled by Xu Wanxing's blood, which made it so sharp.

Xu Wanxing's anger became increasingly difficult to control. He stepped on the ground, jumped high, and slashed at Su Yang madly with his long sword. The sword was fierce, as if it had been tempered a thousand times, without any fancy moves.

I think Xu Wanxing is also a man who has experienced many battles.

Su Yang watched with interest as Xu Wanxing boldly drew his sword.

Since we are going to take action, there is no need to waste time talking.

It was estimated that Xu Wanxing didn't want to listen to his explanation at all. After all, this was a world of cultivation, where the strong were respected. As for whether it was proven or not, it was no longer important.

It was the first time that Su Yang saw a martial arts practitioner take action. The blood in his body was "booming" like boiling water, and it was burning hot, like a flame, worthy of the word "beacon fire".

But so what?
Su Yang has now broken through to the second level of Xuanguan Realm, and his realm is not inferior to the fifth level. Moreover, Su Yang has a small pure yang Taoist body, which has already reached perfection. The yang energy in his body is ten times that of an ordinary cultivator, and its purity is even higher!

so.
Xu Wanxing is very weak!
If you are weak, I am right!
Suddenly, a golden sword light like a dragon rose in Xu Wanxing's eyes.

The sword energy was so powerful that it was dozens of feet high and struck Xu Wanxing directly. The terrifying sword energy carried an unparalleled force and sent Xu Wanxing flying backwards.

"puff!"

In the air, Xu Wanxing opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood, his internal organs were already injured.

His eyes were filled with fear.

If it wasn't a life-and-death moment, when his potential and instincts were stimulated, causing him to subconsciously use the greatest strength of his life when the precious sword faced the sword light, he would have been disabled even if he didn't die.

How is it possible that Su Yang is so strong!
The horror of that sword actually made him feel like he was facing Ji Qinglin five days ago.

It should be noted that it has been less than a month since Su Yang broke through the Xuanguan realm! Ji Qinglin is a disciple of the Lihuo Immortal Sect. In the entire South Chuzhou, the Lihuo Immortal Sect is the most powerful and has the longest heritage!
How could Su Yang, a mere abbot of Peach Blossom Temple who had not even entered the Taoist community, be so powerful!

"City Lord!"

When Xu Wanxing vomited blood, several fourth-rank beacon masters suddenly walked out from the hundreds of city guards. These people were Xu Wanxing's confidants and were also Xu Wanxing's support in managing Linjiang City.

Seeing Xu Wanxing injured, he was anxious to protect his master and wanted to step forward.

The next moment, Su Yang stretched out the peach wood sword in his hand, which split into twelve golden sword lights in the air. Each sword light was several feet long, like a butcher knife hanging in the air, across everyone's head.

"stop!"

Xu Wanxing yelled in panic.

His eyes were already extremely clear.

Woke up!

Damn it, he's lost his mind. Su Yang has a very good personal relationship with Nan Jinping, so it should be known that he is not an ordinary person!
He suddenly felt aggrieved. He had been dominating Linjiang City for more than ten years, but now several powerful little guys had popped up in such a short period of time. Especially the disciple of Lihuo Dongtian who called himself Ji Qinglin five days ago, who asked for a thousand city guards from him and required each of them to be equipped with a Fire Blade, saying that he wanted to clear out the ghost cave in advance.

He disagreed, and was defeated in one move. Finally, he took out the troop mobilization order from Prince Linshan. It was estimated that he wanted to conquer others by force.

He felt upset for several days because of this teasing.

Each of these immortal sect disciples is not easy to get along with.

"Master Su, please hold back. I will leave now."

Seeing Su Yang's powerful strength, Xu Wanxing immediately begged for mercy. He now had a feeling that Su Yang was definitely not an ordinary person and his strength must be on the same level as Ji Qinglin.

what did you say?
The city lord’s face?

Is face more important than life?

"City Lord Xu, you and I are both from Linjiang City, there is no need to fight to the death, but please let Master Li's matter go. If there are any family members, please take good care of them."

Su Yang looked at Xu Wanxing with a smile, the sword in his hand still shining sharply.

"Yes, yes, Master Su, you have performed meritorious deeds and I am grateful for your guidance."

After saying that, Xu Wanxing simply waved his hand, and quickly left Taohua Temple with a group of city guards, went down the mountain, mounted their horses, and headed towards the north of the town.

He left very cleanly.

Su Yang put away the twelve golden sword lights and watched Xu Wanxing leave from afar without looking back.

This Xu Wanxing is very tactful.

I think that anyone who can become the city lord and manage Linjiang City so that it is at least superficially peaceful must be a very versatile person.

It’s a pity that Su Yang is not at the Jindan stage after all. If he were at the Jindan stage, there wouldn’t be such dirty things happening.

In Su Yang's eyes, Xu Wanxing was no longer the most important figure in Linjiang City.

His gaze fell on a larger area.

"This will also be considered as taking care of your affairs after death, Li Suiyuan."

Su Yang put away the scroll, returned to Taohua Temple, and stood under his natal peach tree.

The perception ability of the Jingming spirit body is indeed powerful. Su Yang has a deep understanding of Li Suiyuan's determination to pursue the Tao. Now that he has entered the second level of the Xuanguan realm, Su Yang can continue his practice.

There is still some ghost energy left from the ghost cave last time. Su Yang plans to try out deducing a formation method from a Taoist book and get the ability to refine ghost energy for free.

Li Xiuyuan shortened his lifespan by thirteen years, and by breaking through the Xuanguan realm and advancing the [Taoyang Longevity Technique], Su Yang could also increase his lifespan.

So, Su Yang sat cross-legged on the ground.

Ten years of life disappeared.
