Lady, let me explain.

Chapter 69 Night Talk
Now the Five Mountains Unified Conference and the Lion-Slaying Heroes Conference have not yet been held, and people from all walks of life have gathered in the Central Plains, and most of them have settled in Luoyang.

Lin Yi had previously agreed to meet up with the Huashan Sect in Luoyang.

That night, Lin Yi and the Emei Sect stayed in an inn, where they unexpectedly encountered a group of unorthodox people who tried to steal the Dragon Slaying Sword at night.

A group of scoundrels couldn't cause any trouble, but Lin Yi was still worried about it.

It seems that the news that the Dragon Slaying Sword is in his hands has spread to the martial arts world. After a while, it will definitely be known to everyone.

Although Master Miejue had warned the Emei disciples repeatedly, it was normal for the news to leak out among so many people.

It is also possible that Granny Jinhua held a grudge and spread the news maliciously, making him an enemy.

There is no need to say much about the reputation of the Dragon Slaying Sword, it is a hot potato.

Lin Yi is not afraid of others robbing him, but the world is dangerous and there are too many insidious and cunning people.

What he is worried about now is that someone is setting his sights on the Huashan Sect and holding Yue Lingshan and Ning Zhongze hostage.

Lin Yi made a prompt decision and decided to rush to Luoyang overnight to reunite with the Huashan Sect.

After meeting with the Emei Sect to reunite in Songshan, Lin Yi used his Qinggong skills to go far away in the night... but he was not heading towards Luoyang. He first came to the inn where the group from Ruyang Palace were staying.

There was no rush to travel, as he had something important to do.

The inn here has been booked out and guards have been arranged to stand guard at night, but Lin Yi's lightness skills are so amazing that the guards are completely unaware.

He surveyed the area and determined that the most heavily guarded area was the room where Zhao Min lived. He slowly used his internal energy to shake open the window and flew in silently.

Lin Yi glanced around. The room was decorated quite luxuriously. He lifted the curtain and walked into the inner room. Suddenly, a green light flashed and a cold light pierced towards him.

Lin Yi dodged to the side, and the opponent launched two consecutive moves, which were the Huashan sword technique's You Feng Lai Yi and Bai Hong Guan Ri.

At this time, Lin Yi had already seen clearly that her sword was not unsheathed, so he cleverly used his internal force and used his hand as a sword to counter her moves.

Zhao Min's face could not be seen clearly in the dim light, but she was slim and slender, and when she twisted her body, her waist was so slender that it could be held in one hand.

The two exchanged more than thirty moves, both using Huashan School's sword techniques to block each other. The guards were alarmed and hurried footsteps were heard outside the house.

Suddenly she giggled, stopped, put the Heavenly Sword on the table, put on a robe, walked quickly to the door, opened it and said, "Nothing, go back."

"Yes." The guards retreated one after another.

Zhao Min closed the door and took out a tinderbox. "What do you want to do late at night, sneaking around like that, you little pervert?"

She lit an oil lamp and placed it on the table. The interweaving of light and darkness illuminated the girl's rosy face.

"You said I was a little pervert, so of course I came here to steal women." Lin Yi sat down at the table and reached for the sword.

Zhao Min dodged and snatched the Heavenly Sword, holding it in her arms. She snorted, "You're not planning to take the sword and go curry favor with your Junior Sister Zhou, are you?"

Lin Yi reached out and grabbed her sleeve, pulling it gently. Zhao Min screamed, turned around, and fell into his arms.

Lin Yi immediately felt the warmth and softness in his arms, and a soft touch on his thighs.

Zhao Min quickly stood up, and Lin Yi put his arms around her slender waist and pressed down again.

"Let me go, you little pervert!" Zhao Min's face flushed, her beauty radiant. "Or I'll call for help... If word gets out, I'll see if you still have the nerve to walk the streets."

Lin Yi smiled and said, "Minmin, I came here tonight to ask for your help on two important matters."

"You still owe me one thing, and now you have the nerve to ask me to promise you two?"

Lin Yi didn't say anything, but blew hot air into her ears.

How could Zhao Min, a virgin, withstand such teasing? She immediately gave in: "You are such a scoundrel... Tell me now, you little pervert!"

"You Mongols have planted a lot of spies in the Song Dynasty, right? Help me find two of them, Yu Canghai and Mu Gaofeng."

Zhao Min knew his background and knew that both of them had a blood feud with him, so she agreed without hesitation.

"Okay, I'll do you a favor. Let me go!"

"Secondly, I need to rush to Luoyang. It's inconvenient to carry the Dragon Slaying Sword with me, so please keep it for me. I guess everyone in the martial arts world will know that the Dragon Slaying Sword has fallen into my hands soon, but they will never guess that I'm leaving it with you."

As he spoke, Lin Yi took off the Dragon Slaying Sword wrapped in black cloth and placed it on the table.

The dragon-slaying sword is famous throughout the world. If others had the chance to get their hands on it, I wonder how excited they would be.

But Zhao Min sneered, "Such a good thing would fall on me? What are you planning?"

"Furthermore, this Dragon Slaying Sword is a treasure of your Central Plains martial arts world. If the people in the martial arts world knew that you handed it to a Mongolian woman, they would definitely criticize you!"

Lin Yi didn't take it seriously. What do you mean by "I give it to you"? It's obvious that you cheated it from me... Everyone in the martial arts world knows that you are a sinister and cunning woman. I am definitely not a sticky pan.

"What martial arts treasure? It's just a piece of scrap metal. In my eyes, you are the most precious treasure in the world."

Zhao Min was held in his arms. When she heard these lewd words, her face turned red and she stood up immediately.

She pretended to be embarrassed and annoyed: "Bah! Stop saying such indecent things. You have no manners! If you have something to say, say it. If not, get out of here."

"Why do you turn against me so easily? Are you born in the Year of the Dog?" Lin Yi pulled her hand, and with his other hand he took the Heavenly Sword in her arms, "Let me use the Heavenly Sword for a while."

Zhao Min's expression returned to normal, then turned suspicious. "You're using that heavy sword, and you've taken the Dragon Slaying Saber. A single divine weapon is enough for you. Why would you need the Heavenly Sword?"

The two looked at each other for a while. Seeing Zhao Min's bright and clever eyes looking thoughtful, Lin Yi could guess what she was thinking.

He stood sideways, his hands behind his back, his air of arrogance radiating from him. "Minmin, now that things have come to this, I won't hide anything from you—I've already grasped the secret of Heaven Sword and Dragon Slaying." Zhao Min chuckled, unconcerned. "You also want to become the supreme master of the martial arts world, commanding the world? Even those who forged swords in the previous dynasty couldn't command the world."

Lin Yi ignored him and said, "I want the Heavenly Sword now, will you lend it to me?"

Zhao Min sighed. She knew Lin Yi was not a man of hesitation. "If I don't lend it to you, you'll take it away from me. What can I do?"

As soon as she let go, Lin Yi got the Heavenly Sword as he wished: "Minmin, I will remember your kindness in my heart."

"Then you promise me one thing."

"What's the matter?" Lin Yi became alert.

"Accompany me to Shenjing."

He heaved a sigh of relief at this simple request, then remembered that there was only a map in the sword, and he still had to go out to sea to find it, so he said, "Okay, I'll find you in Shenjing after I finish my business."

Zhao Min hesitated for a moment and nodded.

Lin Yi was too lazy to go anywhere else, so he immediately took out the Dragon Slaying Sword, holding the sword in one hand and the other.

Zhao Min asked, "Could it be that the secret is hidden in this sword?"

"Just watch."

Lin Yi smiled and let the sword and the knife saw each other at the vital point.

Zhao Min looked at it and said, "Is this part made of soft iron? What a clever design."

Until a notch was sawed open, the sword broke into two pieces at the handle, and two pieces of iron fell out. Lin Yi hurriedly picked them up.

They are extremely heavy, with one piece engraved with "Pudu Shandong Peach Blossom Island" and the other with a complex map.

"Peach Blossom Island?"

Lin Yi was a little confused, and remembered that the sword was forged in the previous dynasty, and Huang Yaoshi had occupied Peach Blossom Island for only a few decades. Maybe Peach Blossom Island was still an ownerless deserted island during the previous dynasty.

This map is very complicated and the routes are tortuous. Ordinary people will feel dizzy at first glance.

Fortunately, Lin Yi had a photographic memory. After carefully memorizing for a while, he imprinted every detail in his mind.

Seeing Zhao Min pouting and looking sideways at something else... Lin Yi thought for a moment and understood what she was thinking.

After all, this is the secret of "commanding the world". In the face of such temptation, many fathers and sons have become enemies.

She is also a Mongolian princess with a sensitive identity. If she were replaced by a ruthless person, it would not be surprising that he would destroy her and kill her to silence her.

But Lin Yi didn't care. Just a few military books and secret manuals, could they really command the world? Zhao Min was not a woman who coveted power or liked wealth and splendor.

If this little thing isn't handled properly, a rift will arise between the two of them... Lin Yi said, "Minmin, don't you want to take a look?"

Zhao Min sneered, "You're so hypocritical, are you willing to show me this?"

Lin Yi directly handed her the two pieces of iron. Zhao Min took the iron pieces, but looked at him. Seeing his honest face, she raised the corner of her mouth.

She glanced at it casually and returned it to Lin Yi. Zhao Min wasn't interested in commanding the world, she just wanted Lin Yi to show her attitude.

Zhao Min asked, "Map? Could it be a treasure map?"

"How much silver can a martial arts leader have? It should be a martial arts secret manual."

As Lin Yi spoke, he gripped the blade of the Dragon Slaying Sword and used all his internal strength to scrape off the words and maps on the two pieces of iron sheets.

Then he stuffed the iron sheet back into the sword and said, "You should secretly find a skilled craftsman along the way to repair these two magical weapons."

Zhao Min was speechless: "No wonder you gave me the Dragon Slaying Sword, it turned out you wanted me to repair this broken sword for you..."

……

Then Lin Yi used his Qinggong skills and rushed towards Luoyang under the moonlight.

"I can only wait until after the Lion-Slaughtering Conference before heading to Peach Blossom Island. I hope I don't have the misfortune of running into Huang Yaoshi..."

"Now that my internal energy is strong enough, I can even use a wooden sword. Combined with the invisible sword energy of the Six Meridians Divine Sword, I can completely replace the Black Iron Heavy Sword... Carrying an iron stick all day long also detracts from my elegant and graceful temperament."

Lin Yi was lost in thought and walked at full speed for half the night, covering a distance of nearly two hundred miles. When he arrived in Luoyang, it was already four o'clock in the morning.

After flying over the city wall, he soon found the special marks left by the Huashan Sect on the street and followed the marks to an inn.

Lin Yi looked around and found no signs of fighting. It was quiet all around and the breathing in every room was steady.

Seeing that everyone from the Huashan Sect was safe and sound, he felt relieved.

"Senior Sister should sleep in the same room with Master's Wife. It's the middle of the night, so let's not disturb them. Let's wait until daybreak."

Seeing a big tree in the yard, Lin Yi sat down cross-legged against the trunk to recover his internal strength.

He controlled his breathing, and after taking more than a hundred breaths, his strength returned to its full peak.

The night is quiet and deep, and the floating light is hazy.

Suddenly, a sound of footsteps came from far away.

Lin Yi frowned slightly and opened his eyes...
