Starting with the titmouse, seventy-two transformations

Chapter 115 Confrontation
"Master!"

Du Bingyan strode forward, knelt down in front of Abbess Jingyue, her eyes reddening.

She looked as wronged as a child.

Even if one has already become a Qi cultivator.

She went up the mountain to learn martial arts at a young age and was raised by Abbess Jingyue, who was both her teacher and her mother, with whom she shared a deep and sincere bond.

"It's good that you're alright, it's good that you're safe!"

Master Jingyue reached out and helped her up, her chest heaving violently, unable to hide her excitement.

Even though he guessed through the soul lamp that his disciple was not dead before leaving, he was still worried until he saw her now and was finally at ease.

"Is this the second daughter-in-law's master? She's quite young, and they look like sisters..."

Liu Sheng glanced at Abbess Jingyue without showing any emotion, thinking that the nun still retained her charm.

Wearing a bright red kasaya, she could not hide her curvaceous figure.

She has a beauty mark at the corner of her eye, which makes her look endearing, but her expression is a bit cold and aloof. She exudes a chilling aura from the inside out, keeping people at a distance.

Amitabha Buddha, don't let your mind wander!

Otherwise, if the established order is disrupted, one will be placed in a dark room.

He felt a chill run down his spine, and his eyes flashed with a rainbow light as he took in all the figures in the garden.

Xie Bao, sitting in the main seat, needs no further explanation. At this moment, his face seemed to be changing colors, sometimes red, sometimes white, and sometimes green.

They were clearly caught off guard.

The crowd gathered around him consisted mostly of his family retainers and servants, but there was one person whose aura was as deep and imposing as a mountain, and as vast as the ocean.

Qi Refiner!
However, this person dressed as a writer and stood guard behind Xie Bao.

This guy is really capable. He just lost a demon-level mount, and now a Qi Refiner has come to protect him.

On both sides of the seating area were monks, nuns, Taoist priests, scholars, and beautiful women, of varying heights and attire, yet all exuding a profound aura, each occupying their own space.

Each represents a sect or a faction!
"That monk was so disgusting, I wish I could smash his head in."

Liu Sheng withdrew his gaze, feeling inexplicably disgusted by the withered old monk, and a murderous intent arose in his heart, which startled him.

Which sect does this old bald monk belong to?
Why does it feel like I've met an enemy?

He licked his lips, activated his "Blade Heart" talent, and extinguished the distracting thoughts in his mind, thus controlling the murderous intent within him.

Behind the old monk were eighteen warrior monks, each one burly and imposing, dressed in black monk robes, eating meat heartily!

What about the rules and regulations for monks and nuns?
So you just broke the rules so brazenly, huh?
I wonder which temple's rogue monk he is...

Liu Sheng became interested in the origins of this group of bald monks.

In addition, the Taoist priest next to him, dressed in red robes, had a face even redder than Guan Yu, and his beard and hair were also fiery red, making him look like a "little red man," which was particularly eye-catching.

Below him was an old man in a blue robe, with a striking face, white hair and a youthful appearance, and crane-shaped patterns on the collar and cuffs of his robe.

He had only a few disciples behind him, five men and two women, all of whom were tall and straight with long necks and elegant demeanor.

Seeing him was like seeing a crane, much like the aura emanating from Zhang Mubai.

So, the people of the Five Crane Gate?
Next to the old man in the green robe was a beautiful young woman, dressed in colorful clothes, with peach-shaped eyes, almond-shaped cheeks, and a slender waist. Every smile and frown seemed to bewitch people's hearts.

Her clothes were made of very little material, barely covering her vital parts, leaving a large expanse of skin exposed.

It attracted a lot of attention.

But she didn't care, instead giggling and behaving wildly.

Big enough, white enough, and sexy enough!

This woman is no pushover!

(Lady Caiyu)
Liu Sheng licked his lips and looked behind her. There were six men and six women, all of them handsome and beautiful.

There were six male disciples, all with dark eyes and thin bodies, looking like they were severely deficient in qi and blood.

I'm almost completely drained!
Wait, why is this big white woman looking at me?
He was even looking into my crotch, he's sick!
Liu Sheng felt a chill in his groin and quickly took two steps away to avoid her gaze.

Can't afford it!
These people, along with Abbess Jingyue, constitute the Qi Refining level experts present.

There are seven people in total.

The remaining forces, the strongest of whom were only at the True Form Realm, roughly equivalent to "...", were not taken seriously by Liu Sheng. "When did Qi Refiners become so cheap, like they're being sold wholesale?"

Liu Sheng raised an eyebrow, sensing that things were getting a bit tricky.

This time, their forced entry into the Demon Suppression Bureau was under the guise of "straight to the heart of the matter," aiming to capture Xie Bao and force him to confess.

Then they would contact other sects and launch an attack on the imperial court.

It seems the plan has to change.

"Cough cough!"

At this moment, Xie Bao coughed lightly, picked up his wine glass, and stepped forward with a delighted expression:
"Captain Du, I am overjoyed that you have returned safely. Please drink this cup!"
Your achievements will be reported today. It won't be long before you, like me, rise to the rank of 'General' and are known as 'The Demon Subduer.'"

This is a very skillful way of speaking. By omitting the past events, he uses "reporting his merits" to imply that he is Du Bingyan's superior, implying that a higher rank can have an absolute advantage, and then uses the title of "Demon-Subduing General" to appease him.

This mastery of political maneuvering is unparalleled.

If it were an ordinary person, after thinking it over, they would probably swallow their anger and try to get the benefits first, given that the situation has already occurred.

pity……

Du Bingyan is no ordinary person!

"choke!"

While she was whispering with Abbess Jingyue, she suddenly turned around, drew her sword, and slashed down at Xie Bao from several feet away.

In an instant, the sound of water rose from the field, a clear, gurgling sound.

Ripples spread through the air, creating a misty haze that revealed a full moon reflected in the water, shimmering in the sunlight.

Water Moon Sword Intent!

"you--!"

Xie Bao was shocked and furious. He hadn't expected Du Bingyan to be so fierce. Without saying a word, she drew her sword and attacked.

In a moment of desperation, he suddenly stood up, spread his five fingers wide, crushed the air, and grabbed at the incoming sword energy while the air was filled with whistling air currents.

The sword energy was ethereal, while the palm shadow was heavy. One was light, and the other was heavy. The two collided and produced a loud, deafening sound.

"boom!"

In an instant, a shockwave erupted, like a monstrous dragon wreaking havoc, instantly destroying all the exotic flowers and plants, towering ancient trees, pavilions and terraces, and winding streams in the garden.

The area where only a few Qi cultivators were located was blocked by the Qi waves, which could not penetrate and remained unchanged.

Once the sand and gravel settled and the dust settled, the entire back garden looked as if it had been struck by a natural disaster, a scene of utter devastation.

"Du Bingyan, how dare you rebel?!"

Xie Bao stood tall, his sleeve torn in half, looking somewhat exasperated.

In their previous encounter, he seemed to have been at a disadvantage.

"Could it be that he's deliberately feigning weakness to vent his anger on his second daughter-in-law?"

Liu Sheng stood behind Abbess Jingyue, lost in thought.

Seeing that things were going badly, he rushed behind Abbess Jingyue in two steps, avoiding the aftershocks.

In reality, with his current strength and the support of numerous "talents," the aftershocks of a fight between Qi cultivators could no longer harm him.

However, doing so is too conspicuous and could easily attract trouble.

Besides, it's good to take shelter under a big tree and get some support, so why do it yourself?

"Insubordination?"

Du Bingyan snorted coldly, drew her sword, and stepped forward, pressing closer step by step:
"You said you were connecting the earth veins to the array flags, but you were actually deceiving us. You used divine will to refine it, and once the array broke, we all perished."

If I hadn't had another extraordinary encounter, I would have died on the spot.

"The blood feud that killed me has become 'treason' in your mouth?"

At this point, she glanced around, then raised her sword and pointed it at Xie Bao:

"Esteemed seniors, this is the man who deliberately lured the eight demon-slaying captains into refining the array flags with divine will, ultimately leading to their deaths on the spot."

I intend to seek justice from them, and I ask for your help!
