New and dark light years

Chapter 259 I Know Where He Is
Tianyi Sect is a major sect in southern Xinjiang.

But it's just big... actually, it's not that strong in the entire martial arts world.

Tianyi Sect is wealthy, but sometimes even money can't buy talent.

Because the entire Great Qi Kingdom, whether in the south or the north, whether scholars or江湖人 (jianghu people), cannot compare to the Central Plains in terms of the number of talented people.

In terms of cultural literacy and the pinnacle of martial arts, the Central Plains region was the true powerhouse.

At this time, Tianyi Sect was facing a major sect in the Central Plains.

The Flowing Light School.

The name sounds simple and doesn't seem to have any special meaning, but those who have heard the name and know the sect will understand why it's called Flowing Light.

This sect excels in hidden weapons and swordsmanship.

The founder of this school was particularly skilled in throwing hidden weapons. When thrown, they left long trails of light, fast and accurate, as if a streak of light had passed by, hence the name.

An Xin had four silver darts hanging from his body, three on his chest and one on his thigh, but there was no fear on his face. Instead, he had an excited smile, a kind of morbid feeling of joy mixed with hostility.

When the army of paper figures appeared, everyone's attention was drawn to them.

This also includes Anxin.

He looked at the paper figure surrounded by purple aura, and then at Li Lin and Lu Ying in the center of the paper figure, his expression immediately softened.

That sense of illness is gone.

The dozen or so men in blue robes opposite also looked over, and their expressions furrowed when they saw the paper figure.

The leader stepped forward, clasped his hands in greeting, and said, "There are so many paper figures, is the one who comes the Paper Prince?"

Li Lin clasped his hands in a fist and smiled, "That is indeed me. May I ask your esteemed name?"

"I dare not accept such praise. I am Jiang Chuanpeng, the leader of the Liuguang Sect."

"Sect Leader Jiang, my fellow disciples from Tianyi Sect are all my close friends. Could you please give me some face and make way for me?"

Jiang Chuanpeng glanced at the swordsmen and shieldmen in the front row, then at Li Lin in the center of the paper figures. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Young Master Paper, although you are an official, since you have also gotten involved in this matter, you can be considered half a member of the martial arts world. How about we act according to the rules of the martial arts world?"

"Please tell me? Which rule is it?"

"Tianyi Sect offended us. We were about to succeed in pursuing Han Qing. If it weren't for their interference, Han Qing would be our prisoner by now. This cannot be faked."

Li Lin looked at An Xin.

Anxin nodded helplessly.

They did indeed obstruct the Flowing Light Sect.

After all, they saw Han Qing and knew he had treasures on him; it would be abnormal not to chase after him.

Li Lin turned to look at the other party: "Okay, I understand. Please draw up the details."

"Our Flowing Light Sect has a hidden weapon technique called Peacock Spreading its Tail. If you can catch this move, Paper Prince, we'll leave immediately."

"I can't use paper figures?"

"Sure, that's your skill after all."

"Then please."

An Xin looked at Li Lin and shouted, "Be careful, their hidden weapons are quite strange."

Li Lin nodded.

Lu Ying rushed out of the pile of paper figures and ran to help the injured senior brothers, bandaging them up.

The paper doll army retreated into their shells.

Jiang Chuanpeng stepped forward and said, "Please enlighten me."

As soon as he finished speaking, a myriad of rays of light appeared before Li Lin's eyes.

This isn't a peacock spreading its tail feathers; it's dazzling and colorful.

It felt as if countless rainbows were rushing towards your face.

dong dong dong...

A series of sounds rang out. These streaks of light came and went quickly, like shooting stars.

Li Lin looked ahead and saw that all the hidden weapons had been blocked by the paper figures of the sword-and-shield soldiers.

However, this also resulted in the loss of at least eight swordsmen and shieldmen.

Each swordsman's shield and body were covered with fine sand that reflected light.

At first glance, it looks like shards of glass.

But Li Lin knew that these were not glass, but crystal.

He flung out a large number of glass shards with both hands, using their refracted light to confuse people's vision and thus achieve the purpose of injuring them.

This move is very powerful, but also very expensive.

After all, glass was very expensive in this era.

Jiang Chuanpeng was panting heavily. To release so many shards of glass sand required very precise control of his vital energy, and the amount consumed was also enormous.

Looking at the fallen paper figure, Jiang Chuanpeng's face showed helplessness.

This move is very powerful; it can destroy eight paper figures in an instant. It looks impressive.

However... this move has always been learned only by the sect leader.

Moreover, the glass sand is really expensive. After using this trick, the Flowing Light Sect's food supply for almost half a month was gone.

He had thought that his hidden weapon would at least be able to penetrate the paper figure and hit Li Lin, causing him some minor injuries.

As a result, they couldn't even get past the paper doll challenge.

His face was somewhat pale, then he clasped his hands and said, "Young Master Paper is indeed extraordinary. Let's settle this matter here and go."

After he finished speaking, a dozen or so men in blue robes followed him away.

Anxin sat down after the person left.

Several disciples of the Tianyi Sect immediately went to his side and removed the hidden weapons from his body.

Li Lin had the paper doll army disperse, protecting everyone within it.

Then he walked over to An Xin and asked, "You look a bit pathetic."

"There's nothing we can do, we were too overconfident." An Xin said with a wry smile, "We thought that our Tianyi Sect had stood for hundreds of years, so we must have some tricks up our sleeves, but we still couldn't win against the major sects of the Central Plains."

Lu Ying walked over at this moment and said, "Senior Brother, let's practice paper-making more in the future. With the protection of paper figures, we won't be afraid of those who use hidden weapons."

The Tianyi Sect's current weakness lies in its lack of sufficient offensive capabilities.

Sword energy consumes too much vital energy. Using it once or twice is fine, but using it too often is tantamount to courting death.

The enemy is just waiting for you to run out of energy.

An Xin smiled wryly and said, "Junior Sister, learning paper-making requires talent. Do you think the other senior brothers and sisters don't want to learn? They simply can't."

Lu Ying let out a soft "ah".

She had thought there was some kind of identity restriction involved, after all, Lu Ying's father and mother were both elders in the Tianyi Sect.

At this moment, An Xin looked at Li Lin and said, "I'm sorry, we originally wanted to help you get that treasure, but we didn't expect to offend the Flowing Light Sect. We'll have to trouble you to get out of this predicament."

Li Lin laughed and said, "The Liuguang Sect is nothing special. The Zhenwu Sect is still blocking the way outside the forest."

An Xin looked quite shocked: "The oriole is hiding behind? The Zhenwu Sect can do something like this? I never thought so."

Lu Ying nodded vigorously: "That's right, those Taoist priests from the Zhenwu Sect are so mean. They wouldn't let us in to find you at first. Luckily, Senior Brother Li summoned the paper doll army, otherwise, if we had arrived any later, you probably would have..."

Lu Ying didn't want to say anything more. Although she was lively, she knew how to read the room and how to speak properly.

An Xin sighed: "Han Qing escaped. We searched this area several times, but we couldn't find him."

His mood clearly dropped.

Li Lin laughed and said, "Actually, I know where he is!"
