Surrounded by the golden Buddha light, it transformed into a giant golden palm and headed towards Lu Jinan.

Lu Jinan's face darkened, and without thinking, he instantly burst out all his spiritual power and thrust a sword straight out in the realm of breaking the realm.

But at this moment, the young monk suddenly said, "Master, Sect Leader Pei, why are you here?"

Lu Jinan subconsciously looked back and saw that the giant golden palm had pushed him back several kilometers.

Lu Jinan's face darkened as he did not notice the figure of his master, but he did not continue to draw his sword because the palm in front of him had already shattered in his sight.

With an expressionless face, he raised his hand to wave away the golden light, and in an instant he returned to the distance. However, the scene that came into his eyes made him squint his eyes.

The young monk wearing a conical hat stood with his back to him, while in front of him, Dongfang Xingsong lay on the ground on his side, his eyes wide open, already lifeless.

The young monk held a Zen stick in one hand and a Buddhist rosary in the other, chanting Buddhist mantras, as if he was performing a ritual to pray for Dongfang Xingsong's soul to be reborn.

Lu Jinan, holding the sword in one hand, withdrew his gaze from Dongfang Xingsong. Dongfang Xingsong was indeed dead, and the sword energy remaining in her body could not be faked.

However, the final cause of his death was not from his sword energy that contained the ability to break through the realm, but from this young monk.

There was blood flowing from the bottom of the Zen stick in his left hand, and there was a penetrating wound on Dongfang Xingsong's heart.

Why do you need to get involved in this matter now?

Recalling what the young monk had just said, Lu Jinan was thoughtful.

What consequences will come from killing Dongfang Xingsong?

With the sound of breaking air from behind, Dongfang Xinglan came rushing over. What came into view was the scene of Dongfang Xingsong turning into golden light and disappearing as the young monk waved his hand.

Her expression immediately darkened, and she strode towards the young monk: "Did you kill him?

Although she doesn't like her royal sister Dongfang Xingsong, it doesn't mean that others can kill her at will!

The young monk turned around and bowed to Dongfang Xinglan, then jumped back and flew away in an instant on the lotus platform.

"Saint Lu, Buddha knows my heart and saves all living beings—Amitabha."

The lotus platform disappeared into the sky. Lu Jinan frowned as he watched the young monk's receding figure, secretly pondering in his heart.

Is this young monk the Buddha's disciple who has been hidden in Mount Xumi?

The late stage of the Hedao realm, coupled with that powerful Zen staff, should be it.

He put away the evidence in his hand and turned to look at Dongfang Xinglan. While thinking, Dongfang Xinglan asked first, "Did he kill the imperial sister?"

Lu Jinan asked in return: "Does Buddhism have any grudge against the Eastern Dynasty?"

"On the surface, there's harmony." Dongfang Xinglan said, "Buddhism has always wanted to become the state religion of our dynasty, and has been secretly recruiting believers..."

Therefore, if he kills the imperial sister, it will only make our dynasty more aggressive towards the temple. What good will this do for Buddhism?"

Dongfang Xinglan frowned in thought, and Lu Jinan asked, "Don't you think he killed her?"

"I don't know either—mainly because I can't think of any reason why he would kill the Imperial Sister." Dongfang Xinglan shook his head and then said indifferently, "Forget it. The Imperial Master must have known the murderer of the Imperial Sister."

Lu Jinan looked at Dongfang Xinglan calmly, so the young monk appeared just to handle it for him?

What is the reason?

Also, since Buddhism wants to develop believers in the Eastern Dynasty, the simplest way is to let the people of the Eastern Dynasty see how vast the world is, thereby dividing the dynasty internally.

But judging from Dongfang Xinglan's words, Buddhism does not adopt this method.

Since he didn't use this method, the young monk who was suspected to be a disciple of Mount Xumi killed Dongfang Xingsong to conceal the truth for him...

What is intended?

Thinking about it, Lu Jinan asked aloud: "Do you want to go back to the court to deal with this matter?"

"The affairs of the Imperial Astronomical Bureau have nothing to do with me." Dongfang Xinglan turned and took a step forward: "Although she is a prince,

But our dynasty has no shortage of princes."

"Speaking of which—" Dongfang Xinglan tilted his head to look at Lu Jinan, and then changed the subject: "I didn't realize you were a Saint Son from outside the Great Wall."

Lu Jinan smiled and said, "Do you still dare to take me in as your demon?"

"Who am I looking down on?" Dongfang Xinglan stretched out his hands and loosened his muscles. "Taking you, the son of the Outer Pass Saint, under my wing proves my ability, doesn't it?"

"That makes sense." Lu Jin'an nodded. "But if you're so capable, why haven't you been crowned king?"

Dongfang Xinglan pulled a book from her Qiankun bag and read it, saying, "What I said before, 'I'll protect you,' wasn't a joke. Even the prince isn't as capable as I am."

Lu Jinan glanced at the cover of the book in her hand, his expression slightly changed: "The Essentials of Governance? You want to be the emperor?"

Dongfang Xinglan did not reply, but flipped through the book in his hand while taking nimble steps.

Lu Jinan tactfully didn't ask any more questions, but just looked at Dongfang Xinglan from the side. This princess looked quite heroic in men's clothing.

I wonder what the difference is between the real look and the current look?

He felt that there must be some difference, otherwise when the monsters from Minbao Mountain and the monks from Lingshan Mountain were chasing her,

How come you didn't see her identity?

Although Emperor Jianing had many children, Dongfang Xinglan's status as the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard was not low. Coupled with her strong physical strength, it was impossible for the Buddhist sect not to know her.

Thinking about it, Lu Jinan took out the cloak given by his master and handed it over: "You are being hunted by the Buddhist sect now, so you should cover yourself up."

Dongfang Xinglan tilted his head and looked at him: "Aren't you the same?"

"I don't need it now." Lu Jinan smiled: "As for the reason, you will know when the time comes."

Dongfang Xinglan did not refuse, he took the cloak and put it on himself: "There are still many treasures outside the pass.

.

Lu Jinan chuckled: "Have you been to Mount Xumi?"

"No."

"Where's Lingshan?"

"without.

"The farthest you've been is Lingbao Mountain?"

"Is the Glowing Territory considered outside the Great Wall for you?"

"Okay." Dongfang Xinglan flipped through the pages of the book. "What do you want to say?"

Lu Jinan turned his head and looked at her sideways: "Aren't you curious? The outside of the pass is so vast, why are there basically only monks here?"

Dongfang Xinglan didn't say anything, but his fingers didn't continue turning the pages.

Her expression did not show surprise. In Lu Jinan's opinion, Dongfang Xinglan might have thought about this problem a long time ago.

It's not just her. In such a huge dynasty, is it true that no one has ever thought about this issue?

Of course there is, but the pass across the border of the dynasty is a gate. "Don't read for now, I'll take you to a place to see." Lu Jinan said meaningfully: "The Glowing Domain has been quite lively recently."

Dongfang Xinglan's expression didn't change: "Where are you going?"

“A place where many experts gather.”

Dongfang Xinglan finally closed the book: "How high is it?"

"It's probably not as high as you, but—————" Lu Jinan said softly: "There's still 'far away' there."

"Um·---."

Dongfang Xinglan put the book into his Qiankun bag and said, "Then go take a look."

Author: I have something urgent to do, I am fine, I will resume updating, please don't worry~

Chapter 211 "Look at what you've turned me into~"

In the Glowing Domain, Lingshan is directly under the jurisdiction of Jiuhua City.

As the opening time of the Ten Regions Martial Arts Competition hosted by Mount Xumi draws closer, this city shrouded in Buddha's light becomes much more lively than before.

With the Lingyin Realm where Mount Xumi is located and the Huiguang Realm where Mount Lingshan is located as the core, with the arrival of cultivators from five middle realms and three small realms, the number of monks seems to have decreased a lot.

However, most of these cultivators came to watch the battle, because there were not many formal martial arts competitions among cultivators at the Hedao realm level.

Because most of them are busy trying to overcome the heavenly tribulation and become immortals.

In order to build momentum for the Buddha's disciples, Mount Xumi displayed many precious natural treasures to attract the saints of the Hedao realm from the ten domains to sign up and participate.

Therefore, it not only attracted the younger generation of Hedao realm monks, but also many old people who had long been in seclusion came down the mountain.

Hoping to achieve a certain ranking so as to obtain the necessary natural resources and treasures.

On the main road outside the main gate of Jiuhua City.

"Oh, there's one thing I forgot to tell you."

"Ok?"

"My name is Lu Jinan."

"oh.""

Dongfang Xinglan, who was wearing a cloak, responded casually, not caring about Lu Jinan's real name.

Because she was now staring intently at the repairmen who were passing documents in and out of the city gate, her lacquered eyes watching this lively scene with curiosity.

The scene in front of her eyes made her unable to think about other things.

This Jiuhua City looks even more magnificent than the imperial capital Shengjing - is the level of architecture outside the Great Wall so high?

Are those people entering and leaving the city gate all from outside the city?

Isn’t this the territory of Buddhism? Why do monks seem to be rarer here?

Are the people outside the Great Wall all practicing the kind of Qigong that the Jiuli Dynasty practiced?

But————-he is much stronger than the Qigong practitioners of the Jiuli Dynasty.

Not only is it stronger, but there are also more masters.

The cultivators entering and leaving Jiuhua City are definitely considered high-level combat forces in the Jiuli Dynasty.

Are there so many powerful people outside the pass?

A trace of confusion flashed in Dongfang Xinglan's eyes.

If there are so many experts, why haven't they broken into the pass?

and···-

Are the barbarians outside the Great Wall so polite?

What is the Xinghua Territory they are talking about? And what is the Floating Light Territory?

Is Hengshui Xiuxian Academy a place similar to the Imperial College?

Also—What is the Liangjie Pass?

Listening to the conversations between the monks, Dongfang Xinglan couldn't help but pursed his lips, feeling that the cognition in his mind was somewhat impacted.

She turned to look at Lu Jinan, who was using the "Harmony with the Dust" technique to hide his figure. He looked at her with a smile: "What's wrong?"

Dongfang Xinglan was silent for a moment before asking, "Do you have the documents to enter the city?"

"I don't need that thing." Lu Jin'an withdrew He Guang Tongchen and walked towards the gate of Jiuhua City: "Follow me, and don't say anything for a while, I will take care of everything."

Dongfang Xinglan followed and was still wondering how Lu Jinan would get into the city when he saw the Qigong practitioners on the road stop and look over here.

Ok?

Dongfang Xinglan couldn't help but slow down his pace, watching the people in front of Lu Jinan retreat to the sides, and then -"

"Meeting Lu Shengzi."

"Lu Shengzi, long time no see."

"Lu Shengzi..."

Dongfang Xinglan couldn't help but widen his eyes when he saw the powerful Qi cultivators around him bowing and greeting Lu Jinan one by one.

Lu Jinan is the Holy Son of the entire outside the Great Wall! ?

Is it such a big deal?!

But if that’s the case, why is he like a fool and doesn’t understand the Eastern Dynasty?
