The years when I explored the fairyland.

Chapter 152 149: Conflict (13)

Let’s move forward a little in time.

In Baisha City, two people were strolling casually.

They walked along long streets and through alleys, and stopped at street corners to look at the shops and people walking around; they also found a restaurant to taste fine wine and food.

After they exited the north gate of Baisha City, the two men stopped. One of them, a man dressed in gray with a strong aura, turned around and looked up. Under his bamboo hat was a dark face covered with scars, as if a centipede was crawling.

He looked at the people coming and going and couldn't help but praise them: "I never thought that this small town by the Baisha River would be so impressive.

Look at the streets, the houses, the bluestone roads; look at the pedestrians and children, there are hardly any of them in rags.

Even Overlord City is no better than this."

A middle-aged man in a scholar's robe nodded slightly and said, "I have investigated. The county magistrate of Baisha County is Ji Mingqian, the 25th son of the Zhou Palace. He is not well-received in the palace and has never practiced martial arts. He just won a good reputation in the civil service examination and became the county magistrate.

I just didn't expect that he actually had some ability in local governance. He governed Baisha County quite well."

Upon hearing this, Yan Xiuyuan swallowed what he was about to say and said, "Forget about the people from Prince Zhou's Palace. There is no need to train them.

However, no matter how capable the county magistrate is, he can't accomplish anything practical without the support of the sect.

So, Xuanzhen Temple is the backer of this county magistrate?"

"Yes, Chu Zhou from Xuanzhen Temple, who once killed disciples from Wenxiang Temple and Yunya Sword Sect in order to maintain order in Baisha City. He has a high reputation here."

After a pause, he continued, "During this period, I have actually conducted a more comprehensive and in-depth investigation of Xuanzhen Temple. I always feel that Taoist Priest Chu has risen too fast, and every move he makes is unexpected.

Especially in that battle, there were as many as five innate warriors who died at his hands, and their exact combat power remains a mystery."

"The combat power is a mystery? Haha..."

Yan Xiuyuan didn't care at all and said, "No matter how powerful he is, he can still be better than Zhou Wu and the martial arts master."

King Gongye said, "You are right, but don't forget the purpose of our trip.

We were hoping to learn some useful secrets from Xuanzhen Temple, to make those old guys in the sect happy, and thus make up for the mistakes we made in this mission."

As soon as these words came out, Yan Xiuyuan's face froze, and a trace of shame and anger flashed in his eyes. He asked angrily: "It's been so many days, and you still haven't figured out how that witch escaped?"

Seeing his expression, Prince Gongye did not show any weakness and directly said, "So what if we find out the truth? Will it change the result that she has already escaped, or will it prove the fact that Wenxiang Temple is colluding with Xuanyue Sect?"

"Besides, didn't you say that 'Thousand Mile Cicada' means that within a hundred miles, there is no way to the sky and no door to the earth. How can you lose people?"

"This……"

Yan Xiuyuan was so angry that he looked at Gongye Wang with a bad look: "Junior brother, it's still a long way from here to Xuanzhen Temple.

How about we practice first, and let the elder brother examine the younger brother's strength?"

King Gongye refused simply: "No fight!"

Yan Xiuyuan slapped Prince Gongye on the shoulder and said, "This is not up to you!"

King Gongye's face twitched and he felt the pressure on his shoulders increasing, but his eyes remained calm.

He tilted his head slightly and looked at his senior brother, and said, "No matter what, the Wenxiang Temple is destroyed, the Xuanyue Sect demon girl escaped, and this mission is a failure!
This is not only your problem, it's also mine. If you can't find a solution, you will be in trouble when you go back, and I can't escape either.

We are just grasshoppers tied to the same rope, are you sure you want to hit me here?"

Yan Xiuyuan slowly withdrew his hand and said, "So, what do you mean?"

“When we get to Xuanzhen Temple, you will be responsible for the military deterrence, and I will handle the negotiations.

As long as there is a follow-up to the secret martial arts of Xuanzhen Temple, it will be considered as making up for it. "

"you sure?"

"Or I'll turn around and leave now!"

Yan Xiuyuan thought about the mess that had occurred during this mission, and finally grinned, with a centipede-like twist on his face that made him look even more hideous.

"Come on, I'll listen to you!"

……

At this moment, on the lonely peak,

Chu Zhou listened to the power contained in the mighty sound and his eyes narrowed. A dangerous light flashed in them, and then retracted after a moment.

But he did not hesitate at all, he strode forward and jumped off the cliff.

When he was in mid-air, he could see the radiance of magical power flashing, and white clouds rolling up, extending several meters away, dragging him flying.

——Magic, climbing clouds!

For two years, what Chu Zhou devoted most of his energy to was actually the practice of these techniques. Through repeated performances, analysis of each spiritual pattern, and with the help of the calming incense, he was able to move at will.

So now, the white cloud is dragging him forward. The speed is not very fast, but the shortest distance between two points is a straight line!

In front of the mountain gate of Xuanzhen Temple.

Yan Xiuyuan had already taken off his hat, revealing his ugly face, but he stood with his hands behind his back, with a powerful aura, and really had the demeanor of a profound and majestic master.

As for King Gongye, there is even less to say.

His voice seemed not loud, but it echoed among the mountains and could be heard tens or hundreds of miles away. It was so eye-catching.

Of course, their movements also frightened the pilgrims passing by, causing them to keep avoiding them. A large empty space was left on the mountain path, with only the two of them standing there quietly. As for Xuanzhen Temple, the first to arrive were Yi Huai and Wei Fangjie.

The two of them fell from the sky and crashed directly in front of the mountain gate. When they landed, they were already in a dominant state.

They were about ten feet tall, with muscles as twisted as the roots of an old tree and skin as white as copper and iron. One of them held a sword and the other held a gun.

Just standing there, he exuded a fierce and powerful aura that spread all around, making people feel terrified.

Soon after, Xu Cheng and Fan Tiehu also appeared. Their appearance was not so explosive. They just appeared quietly behind Yi Huai and Wei Fangjie.

When the four brothers' auras were connected, there was a feeling that they were like a solid wall of iron and steel, unshakable.

Not to mention, behind them, there were outer disciples rushing over.

Those who arrived first almost all showed their domineering forms. A group of muscular men blocked the mountain road tightly, which was really shocking to watch.

However, there are not many outer disciples who can cultivate the 'dominant body', only about twenty of them, and the rest are ordinary disciples, which have already filled up the Lingguan Hall.

At some point, Wei Jinkui had already come to the front of the group. He bowed slightly and said, "I wonder what advice the two Tyrant Sect seniors have for you?"

Prince Gongye raised his head slightly and asked, "Are you Chu Zhou, the abbot of Xuanzhen Temple?"

"That's not the case. My name is Wei Jinkui, and I am the outer sect elder of Xuanzhen Temple, responsible for welcoming guests."

"Since you are not Chu Zhou, what qualifications do you have to speak?"

This time it was Yan Xiuyuan who spoke, with his head held high, eyes full of contempt, and pride reaching the sky.

"Where's Chu Zhou? Let him come out to see us!"

Yi Huai couldn't help it, he took a step forward, his voice full of anger: "Who are you? You come to my house and say you want to see my senior brother?

"You can see my senior brother whenever you want? Do you take yourself too seriously?"

"Ba Zong Yan Xiuyuan, do you think this name is not important enough?"

"It's nothing. Do you think you're that great as a Tyrant Sect? Just because you're a Tyrant Sect, you can block other people's doorsteps and call them by their names?
Didn't Ba Zong teach you manners? Don't you know you need to hand in a visiting card when you visit someone? "

Yi Huai really didn't back down at all, he even rolled his eyes and asked directly: "Or, do you, the Ba Sect, want to accuse us of colluding with the Xuan Yue Sect like you did to the Wen Xiang Temple and just kill us all?"

These words really touched Yan Xiuyuan's sore spot. He looked fierce and laughed grimly: "Little kid, you are looking for death!"

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pointed.

Then he saw the inner energy surging around him, the shadow of the Overlord flickered, and a golden inner energy gathered from his fingertips and pointed out.

laugh!
With a slight sound, the golden light was already dragging a tail flame, heading towards Yi Huai at an incredibly fast speed, and the force of its fingers was even more domineering. Wherever it passed, the air twisted, revealing a straight passage.

Yi Huai, however, was not afraid at all. He roared and stepped forward, punching out, creating ripples that seemed to collapse mountains and split rocks.

Keng!
It was like the sound of metal clashing, and with the naked eye, there seemed to be a moment of stalemate in mid-air.

Then, the golden finger force rushed forward and Yi Huai retreated.

But after only taking three steps back, Yi Huai stopped abruptly. Although blood was coming out of the corners of his mouth and his breath was weak, Yi Huai did not give in at all.

"I thought a martial arts master would be so powerful, but this is it?"

Yan Xiuyuan's face looked ugly, but his eyes were even sharper. However, he did not say anything nonsense, but his true energy flowed out like water, directly forming a golden armored overlord that was about ten feet tall.

Then, the Overlord raised his hand, and the true energy of martial arts condensed and transformed into a large cauldron, square and heavy as a thousand pounds.

Yan Xiuyuan grabbed one of the legs of the cauldron and suddenly exerted force and threw it over.

On the side, King Gongye moved slightly, as if to stop him, but in the end he did not move.

When the huge cauldron passed by, it was like a mountain pressing down. The sky and the earth suddenly darkened, and a feeling of impending disaster enveloped the hearts of all the disciples of Xuanzhen Temple.

Yan Xiuyuan was really angry after this attack!
But this time, it was no longer Yi Huai who moved, but also Xu Cheng, Fan Tiehu and Wei Fangjie. The four of them worked together as one.

Various colors of magical light intertwined and merged with the power of the Nine-Layer Falling Waves, and all slammed into the huge cauldron.

boom!
There was a loud bang, and a shock wave suddenly spread outward. Yi Huai and the other four were thrown out like kites with broken strings.

At the back, more than a dozen outer disciples of Xuanzhen Temple stepped forward to catch it, but were still pushed back by the surging force, and fell down and bumped into each other.

However, the big cauldron was also knocked back.

When Yan Xiuyuan reached out his hand again and grasped the cauldron, his eyes changed.

Previously, Xuan Yue Sect’s Saint Xiahou Yajun failed to catch this attack, but these four people actually caught it together.

However, before he could make any move, a sense of crisis suddenly hit him. He paused and could not help but look up.

Then, a figure swooped down from mid-air, like an eagle hunting its prey, ferociously, decisively, and without the slightest hesitation.

Then another punch came across the sky, like a dark sky covering the sky, and the sun falling to the ground, smashing down on the head.

"My junior brother, I beat him, no one else can do it!"

"Even if you are a master of Tyrant Sect or a martial arts master, you still have to compete with me before we can discuss your strengths!"

　There are three updates today, and this is the first one!
