Immortal Dynasty Hounds

Chapter 66 Classic Plot: Spare the Man from the Blade

Lian Shanxin discovered that he and Lin Xiangwen were destined to meet.

His talent rarely manifests twice in the same person.

With only a one-day interval, the number of times it occurs in the same person is even less.

But Lin Xiangwen did it.

It's hard to say whether Lin Xiangwen was lucky or unlucky.

Or perhaps, as one's skills improve, one's talent also evolves.

In short, Lian Shanxin felt that he was really lucky.

Where is Ruoyu?

Lin Xiangwen came to confront him and demand an explanation.

He had originally promised "Thousand Faces" that he would not make things difficult for Lian Shanxin for the time being, but he couldn't resist Lian Shanxin taking the initiative to cause him trouble.

He Ruoyu, as one of the "Seven Sons of Bailu," received his true teachings.

Lin Xiangwen is a person without descendants.

He regarded He Ruoyu as his successor.

Now that the heir to the mantle has been captured by Lian Shanxin, he certainly cannot tolerate it.

"what happened?"

Qi Shiyun's eyebrows furrowed slightly.

She had just emerged from seclusion and knew nothing about He Ruoyu, not even who He Ruoyu was.

Lian Shanxin gave a brief explanation.

Qi Shiyun nodded slightly: "If the investigation finds no problems, then let it go. It's really not appropriate for us young people to take things too seriously."

She was reminding Lian Shanxin that Yu the Great had his own national conditions, and that following the rules would be good for Lian Shanxin.

If everyone follows the rules, they can all be protected by the "newbie protection period".

If Lian Shanxin breaks the rules and others bully the weak, Lian Shanxin will have no choice but to accept it.

Lian Shanxin could naturally understand Qi Shiyun's reminder.

But he now has evidence.

"What if the investigation reveals a problem?"

Qi Shiyun was somewhat surprised: "Is there really a problem?"

“If there really is a problem, He Ruoyu is considered a grand-disciple of Qianmian.”

Qi Shiyun then looked at Lin Xiangwen.

Lin Xiangwen was startled, then flew into a rage: "Lian Shanxin, the deputy mountain... Qianmian did indeed give me guidance, but what kind of master and disciple is that? In the vast Bailudong Academy, countless people have been guided by Qianmian. Kong Ningyuan, who recommended you, is even a registered formal disciple of Qianmian in the academy."

This is indeed a problem.

This single issue of his background made it very difficult for Kong Ningyuan to be promoted to a second-rank official.

Of course, Kong Ningyuan probably never thought he could become a second-rank official.

Unlike Lian Shanxin, who rejected the advances of two princesses in succession because, according to the regulations of the imperial court, the highest rank a prince consort could hold was the third rank.

Prince Xin had lofty ambitions and wanted to become a high-ranking official. The third rank was not enough for him, so he had to reluctantly give up marrying the princess.

Qi Shiyun agrees with Lin Xiangwen's self-defense.

However, she still looked at Lian Shanxin and asked curiously, "Is there a problem with He Ruoyu, or with Lin Xiangwen?"

In front of Qi Shiyun, Lian Shanxin did not speak off the cuff, but told the truth: "I just discovered that Lin Xiangwen has a problem."

Qi Shiyun then laughed: "Lin Xiangwen is really unlucky to have run into you, who just broke through. Under normal circumstances, he should have been able to hide it very well. It's just that when you just broke through, your perception was at its sharpest."

is it?

I don't even understand it myself.

Lian Shanxin realized that Qi Shiyun understood his talent better than he did. He needed to go to the "Nine Heavens" headquarters in Shenjing City as soon as possible to catch up on his studies, as many of the world's most closely guarded secrets were not open to ordinary people.

We still need to go up to the top of the mountain to take a look.

Qi Shiyun didn't ask Lian Shanxin what he had discovered. Instead, she looked at Lin Xiangwen with the eyes of someone looking at a dead man: "Are you going to confess on your own, or are you going to put up a last-ditch effort and then confess?"

Lin Xiangwen hardened his fist: "Qi Tanhua, there's a misunderstanding between us."

“There’s no misunderstanding. I came to Jiangzhou to slay demons and monsters,” Qi Shiyun interrupted Lin Xiangwen, her voice righteous and firm.

Lian Shanxin then understood that Qi Shiyun was resentful that Lin Xiangwen had chosen Zhang Aniu over her.

Even if Lin Xiangwen liked her, she wouldn't accept it, but she couldn't bear to lose to Zhang Aniu.

This is a huge denial of her personal charm, after all, she lost to a man.

"I want to see Lord Tianjian."

Lin Xiangwen calmed down instantly; his anger dissipated, and reason regained its footing.

The reason is simple—he can't beat Qi Shiyun.

“Qi Tanhua, you and I are both Grandmasters. If you want to deal with a Grandmaster, your status is not high enough. You must have Lord Tianjian personally intervene,” Lin Xiangwen said in a deep voice.

Lian Shanxin looked at Qi Shiyun with suspicion. "There's such a rule?"
Qi Shiyun told him that there really was such a rule.

“Grandmasters are pillars of the martial arts world and can also hold important positions in the imperial court. Therefore, they are not easily convicted without evidence. This is the imperial court’s preferential treatment of grandmasters,” Qi Shiyun said.

Lian Shanxin increasingly realized that Da Yu had its own national conditions. After all, this was a feudal dynasty where warriors were everywhere. One could not take it for granted that imperial power was invincible. The necessary united front work should still be carried out.

If a Grandmaster can receive preferential treatment, and a Great Grandmaster can blind a princess, then if one becomes a terrestrial immortal, wouldn't killing a princess be no big deal?

With this in mind, Lian Shanxin became even more eager to improve.

"Then let's take Lin Xiangwen into custody first." Lian Shanxin said casually, "We'll have evidence by interrogating him."

Lin Xiangwen looked at Lian Shanxin with the eyes of someone looking at an idiot: "You greenhorn, you don't know any of the rules of the underworld, you have no right to interrogate me."

Lian Shanxin laughed: "Rules? You want to talk about rules with us, the Chosen Ones?"

Qi Shiyun also sneered and slashed out with her sword.

The imperial court has many rules, and the martial arts world also has many unspoken rules.

But no matter what, there's only one rule in this world—might makes right!
"Qi Shiyun, how dare you..."

boom!
Before Lin Xiangwen could even draw his Purple Lightning Sword, Qi Shiyun cleaved him away with a single strike.

Before Lin Xiangwen could retaliate, Qi Shiyun teleported and appeared above him.

Then, with a powerful downward stomp, he stomped Lin Xiangwen into the ground.

Meeting Lian Shanxin's gaze, which was three parts shocked and seven parts admiring, Qi Shiyun said proudly, "Even among grandmasters, there are differences in skill. I, at the Qi Condensation Realm, could easily kill a grandmaster like Lin Xiangwen."

Lian Shanxin bowed and prostrated himself, saying, "The third-ranked scholar's divine might is invincible."

These are all just third place finishers.

Ah Niu is amazing!

Lin Xiangwen spat out a mouthful of blood and hissed in a low voice, "Qi Shiyun, are you crazy? To avenge a personal grudge, you're willing to poison the academy's teachers? Aren't you afraid of causing everyone in the academy to live in fear?"

Qi Shiyun remained silent.

“I am a martial arts instructor at the academy, and I have a reputation in the Jiangzhou martial arts world. Qi Shiyun, if you mess with me, you will incur the hostility of the Jiangzhou martial arts world and all instructors, and you will make ‘Nine Heavens’ an enemy in Jiangzhou. This will cause a huge problem.”

Qi Shiyun's eyes lit up: "Really?"

Lin Xiangwen's heart skipped a beat.

His limited understanding of the "Chosen One Lineage" surfaced in his mind.

Oh no, this is a lineage of Taoist traditions that thrives on chaos.

Seeing that Qi Shiyun even wanted to kill someone on the spot, Lin Xiangwen was close to despair.

At the critical moment, a savior arrived: "Crazy Qi, spare his life!"
