The world's most invincible

Chapter 399 The man behind the scenes
It's a rare occasion for so many old friends to get together, so we should find a pub, sit down and drink and reminisce.

Suddenly, Li Wangyi, Xiao Ye, the young girl Xianlong, Xiao Luo, Liu Yichen, Cui Youlin and others turned their heads at the same time and looked towards the depths of Xingtan.

A shocking battle broke out at Xingtan.

Master He Xinian, Master Wen Wuzhong, Master Gudai and more than a dozen other masters were besieging an old man with a handsome face and loose clothes.

"Is this the new deputy headmaster of Xingtan, Ji Tiandu?" Xiao Ye said after taking a look.

Li Xianyue nodded.

The old man with a handsome face and loose clothes who was besieged was Ji Tiandu, the deputy head of Xingtan, a famous scholar in Jiuzhou.

As early as more than a hundred years ago, he entered the Dacheng Hall and was one of the most prestigious scholars in the teaching field.

He is also the junior fellow of the former head of Xingtan, Master Han. According to the eyes of the world, he should have followed Master Han to ascend to heaven long ago.

However, on the night of his ascension, he chose to commit suicide and stayed in the human world, and then became one of the four deputy masters of Xingtan.

Unexpectedly, just as the big show in the Protocol Square ended, such a shocking battle broke out in the depths of Xingtan.

Cui Youlin was surprised and smiled: "Why do so many teachers come together to besiege this Deputy Master Ji? Why do you think so?"

The young girl Xianlong rushed to say, "Why else? They must have taken old man Zhongsun back for trial and found out that this Deputy Headmaster Ji was the mastermind behind this."

"Xingtan wanted to arrest him, but he refused to plead guilty, so a fight broke out."

Although the young fairy dragon met Cui Youlin, Xiao Ye, Liu Yichen and others for the first time, she was not shy at all and was very outgoing and friendly.

After knowing her identity, Xiao Ye, Cui Youlin, Liu Yichen, Xiao Luo, and Su Guyu were also very polite to this dragon girl.

Although her words were faster than her brain, she expressed the answer that was in everyone's mind.

Li Wangyi and others did not expect that Xingtan would find out the person behind Zhongsun Xianwen so quickly. It truly deserves to be the number one holy place in the world.

Even though countless great scholars and sages have ascended to heaven, and even though there are corrupt officials among the group, the foundation cannot be underestimated.

Although that Deputy Master Ji had cut off his own avenue, he had recovered to the twelfth level through some unknown secret method, and his combat power was extremely powerful.

And Master He, Master Wen, Master Gudai and more than a dozen other masters are not ordinary sages. If they start a war this time, they will have the power to destroy the country and the world.

If Xingtan had not had its own remnants of the saints' great ways transformed into a protective formation, Xingtan would have been destroyed by the remaining power of the fight between the two sides long ago.

Xiao Ye looked at it for a long while, and could not help but sighed: "Confucianism is indeed the leader of the three religions and hundreds of schools of thought, and the leader of the world. Each of these dozen masters, if placed in the world, is comparable to the supreme master of the first-rate sect."

"And they are just incumbents in their prime, not even the most learned, advanced, or senior masters in the Xingtan."

Cui Youlin nodded and agreed, "That's right. Since the time of the Great Saint and Master, Xingtan has been the most sacred place in the world. It is incomparable to any of the Taoist, Buddhist, Legalist, Mohist, Martial Arts, and Sword schools."

“If a catastrophe were to strike, the only people who could save the world from collapse would be Confucianism.”

The young fairy dragon crossed her arms and proudly retorted, "Who said that? I don't think Xingtan is much stronger than my dragon clan. Not to mention the Dragon Ruins in the outer world and the Dragon Island in the Canghai, even the great-grandmothers and uncles living in my Wanlong Cave Heaven are no worse than these old masters in terms of number or realm."

Everyone couldn't help but chuckle when they heard this.

The young fairy dragon girl is indeed qualified to say this.

The dragon clan has been dormant for tens of thousands of years, and no one knows how many old dragons are still alive. If they were to be born at the same time, it would surely shock the entire world.

However, it is hard to say whether the Dragon Clan can really compare with Xingtan.

After all, the era when the dragon, phoenix, unicorn and other holy races of heaven and earth ruled has long passed, and Confucianism is the undisputed ruler of the present era.

Xiao Luo listened to the discussion of several people with a gloomy expression.

Liu Yichen said, "Brother Gengxin, what do you think of Master Cui's statement?"

Li Wangyi remembered the purpose of his trip south and replied, "I think the Xingtan or Confucian school is indeed powerful, but if we want to save the world, the strength of one family is far from enough."

“Even if we add Taoism, Buddhism, Dharma, Mohism, Martial Arts, Sword, Yin-Yang and other hundreds of schools, it is still not enough. Otherwise, the Divine Lady, Master Han and the others would not have to resolutely ascend to the sky.”

Cui Youlin was surprised and asked, "Then according to Brother Li, what can we do to save the world from sinking?"

Li Wangyi said: "It is only possible if all the spirits in the world stand together with one mind."

“It’s just a possibility.”

“Otherwise, the great worlds such as the Blue Sky and the Great Scarlet Sky would not have been destroyed.”

Everyone was silent.

The girl Xiao Luo's expression became even more gloomy.

Xiao Ye broke the silence and said, "This is why Brother Li proposed the Continental Alliance and the World Alliance. Brother Li is too pessimistic, but I agree with this move."

As early as when the plan of the world alliance was just proposed, Xiao Ye received a secret letter from Li Wangyi.

In his opinion, the world on earth would not necessarily reach such a miserable and tragic state. He had the confidence that he could support the world with his fists.

However, it is also very good that the World Alliance can reduce the number of deaths in the world.

So he also agreed to this.

Cui Youlin, Su Guyu, the young fairy dragon, Liu Yichen, and Xiao Luo all heard about the World Alliance for the first time. When they learned the inside story, they were all a little surprised.

"Brother Li is so talented that he can come up with such an idea. If the World Alliance can really be realized, all the souls in the nine continents and four seas, regardless of race, will be united. Even if a huge calamity fire falls from the sky, there is no need to be afraid." Cui Youlin couldn't help but praise.

In the past, he only admired Li Wangyi's knowledge and talent, but now he was impressed by his grand strategy.

As a descendant of the Cui family, who inherited classics and history, he knew the significance of the alliance of the world and the unity of all spirits, which was not comparable to the different races of humans and demons, and the myriad countries in the nine continents, each doing their own thing.

Liu Yichen also looked at Li Wangyi with a gleam in his eyes and said, "Brother Xinxin is indeed a man of great talent. This grand plan can really add a little more hope to the world."

The young girl Xianlong patted Li Wangyi on the shoulder, curious about how he could come up with such a plan in his little head.

Li Wangyi himself was very calm.

It is easy to say that the world alliance is easy to do, but it is very difficult to do. I hope that the three religions, hundreds of schools of thought, major dynasties, and first-class immortal sects can put aside their selfishness and work together.

Just when a few people were talking enthusiastically, the battle deep in Xingtan had already started to change.

Ji Tiandu, who was at a transcendent level, was eventually defeated by the siege of more than a dozen masters. He wanted to escape through the air, but was chased by more than a dozen masters carrying holy weapons. The two sides fought straight into the sky.

In an instant, they had traveled thousands of miles and entered an ancient cave in the Central Plains.

During this process, Ji Tiandu was never able to shake off the masters, but instead suffered repeated severe injuries. If he did not have a mysterious holy weapon hidden in his body, he would have died long ago.

There is no doubt that Xingtan has made up its mind to arrest and kill Deputy Headmaster Ji.

Having foreseen the outcome of the battle, Li Wangyi, Xiao Ye and the others did not chase after the battle to watch. Instead, they continued their previous itinerary and went to a tavern in the town at the foot of the mountain to drink.

Cui Youlin had been to Xingtan once before, and knew which tavern in the town at the foot of the mountain had the best food. He agreed to be the host, so he took them to a tavern called "Taibaizui".

As soon as he sat down in the private room on the third floor of the tavern, Su Guyu saw through the window a pair of male and female swordsmen with extraordinary temperament walking up the street.

"Hey, isn't that Brother Pei He from Yinhu?" Li Wangyi, Xiao Ye, Cui Youlin and Xiao Qianjun looked in the direction of the voice and saw Pei He appear on the street, accompanied by an elegant female swordsman.

"Pei He!" Li Wangyi waved directly.

Pei He heard the voice and looked over. Seeing the familiar figure in green, he nodded slightly.

He whispered something to the elegant and quiet female swordsman beside him, and then they walked over together.

Li Wangyi, Xiao Ye and Cui Youlin went downstairs together to greet them.

"Brother Pei, long time no see!"

Several people saluted with fists.

Pei He bowed in return: "Long time no see."

"Brother Pei, who is this fairy?"

"Taijianshan Akichi!"

Pei He's answer was concise and to the point, but whether it was "Taijian Mountain" or "Qiu Chi", they were all well-known to Li Wangyi, Xiao Ye, and Cui Youlin.

After all, Taijian Mountain is located in East Penglai Continent. It is one of the strongest sword sects in the world after the three major sword sects of Penglai, Yingzhou and Fangzhang. Hundreds of years ago, some people said that it had the hope of advancing to become the fourth sword sect in the world.

The female sword fairy Qiu Chi is one of the most shining sword fairies in East Penglai Continent in the past fifty years.

If it weren't for the appearance of Fengxueya Ye Guiren, she would probably be the number one female swordsman in the world.

It was just because she was too low-key and had lived in seclusion since she attained enlightenment, so Li Wangyi and the other two had rarely seen her portrait.

I didn't expect that she would end up walking together with Pei He.

"Brother Pei, what are you doing..." Li Wangyi looked at Pei He, then at the elegant Qiuchi Sword Immortal, and asked jokingly.

Pei He, however, still maintained his aloof and lonely look, and said calmly: "I heard that you want to challenge Xingtan, so I'm here to help you with your sword."

"Qiu Chi Sword Immortal was also present at the time, so he came over as well."

Li Wangyi felt a little embarrassed when he saw his serious look.

How could he continue to tease someone who had such good intentions and came all the way to rescue him?

However, after taking a look at the grace and demeanor displayed by Qiu Chi Sword Immortal, he was afraid that the relationship between the two was not far from what he thought.

I didn't expect that Pei He, who was usually a taciturn and lonely man, would actually meet his true love, and his Taoist partner is one of the most outstanding great swordsmen in East Penglai Continent. It was really unexpected.

Li Wangyi dared to tease Pei He, but he showed due respect to Qiu Chi, the female sword fairy, and bowed his hands to thank her, "Thank you for coming all the way to help me, Li is very grateful!"

Qiu Chi smiled and replied, "Mr. Li, you are too polite. I just happened to come here and have nothing to do, so I came here with Pei He, just to revisit the Middle Earth."

"Mr. Li is truly an eye-opener. From the beginning of the Yan's Manor tragedy to the commotion at the Xingtan Concierge Square, everything was within Mr. Li's brilliant calculations. I admire him."

Li Wangyi bowed again: "Qiu Jianxian, thank you for your praise. I am ashamed to accept it."

Afterwards, Li Wangyi introduced the young girl Xianlong and the master and disciple Liu Yichen to Pei He and Qiu Chi.

Be it the dragon girl Xianlong or the master and apprentice Liu Yichen and Xiao Luo from Linggui Town, Qiu Chi was somewhat surprised.

But what interested her most was Xiao Qianjun, who was wearing a green dress and had a spiritual look.

"Xiao Qianjun is indeed a natural sword grass, so cute and spiritual. In the near future, he will be the light of swordsmanship in the world!"

"Hello, Sister Qiu!"

Xiao Qianjun replied sweetly, which made Qiu Chi like her even more.

The big and the small gathered together, while Pei He, Li Wangyi, Xiao Ye, Cui Youlin, and the young girl Xianlong also started chatting on the other side.

But with Pei He's personality, he couldn't utter a word for a long time. Most of the time, it was Li Wangyi, Xiao Ye, Cui Youlin, and the young girl Xianlong who talked.

However, Xiao Ye, Cui Youlin and others all knew Pei He's temperament and were not annoyed.

After Cui Youlin briefly described everything that happened in the Protocol Square, Pei He nodded, indicating that he understood.

Xiao Ye quickly changed the subject and asked, "Pei He, I heard that a headless sword immortal appeared in the Far East Sea. After landing on East Penglai Continent, he wanted to challenge the entire Sword Dao Continent and has defeated more than a dozen first-class sword sects in a row. What is the situation now?"

Pei He replied: "He has already gone to the foot of the Sword Sect Mountain of the Abbot, and has been lingering there for a long time. I think he has already started asking about the sword."

Xiao Ye asked: "Do you know his specific background?"

Pei He shook his head: "I don't know, but according to the inference of some Sword Sect elders, it is very likely related to a public case thousands of years ago. The specific truth or falsehood remains to be verified."

Cui Youlin and the young girl Xianlong were very curious after hearing this.

Xiao Ye pondered for a moment.

Li Wangyi asked, "Why, do you want to go to East Penglai Island to meet him?"

Xiao Ye nodded: "Such a powerful existence is really curious. I haven't punched seriously for a long time."

Li Wangyi smiled. This man is truly a martial arts fanatic. However, only with such purity can he achieve what he has today.

Afterwards, several people talked about the battle of Ji Tiandu. After hearing this, Qiu Chi Sword Immortal looked in the direction of the ancient cave. When Li Wangyi asked, he found out that Taijian Mountain had some grudges with Ji Tiandu.

While a few people were drinking and chatting, a few young people were also talking in a courtyard deep in Xingtan.

"Old Song, Li Wangyi, Xiao Ye, Pei He and the others are here. They are now in the town at the foot of the mountain. Now that you are back, why don't you go meet them?"

Song Qunxian was sitting in a pavilion in white clothes. Hearing this, he looked towards the town at the foot of the mountain.

"It's time to go take a look, but now is not the time."

"When is the time?"

Song Qun first glanced at the sky and said, "Maybe tonight?"

"why?"

"Because I'm waiting for someone, or waiting for something."

"what's up?"

Song Qun shook his head first, then lowered his head to read a book.

He held an ordinary ancient scroll in his hand, but when he lowered his head, thousands of lights and shadows appeared.

The person who was asking questions nearby also shut up after seeing this scene.

At the same time, I was looking forward to the arrival of the night, wondering what he was waiting for.

Regardless of whether Song Qun goes to find Li Wangyi and the others first or not, Qiu Mingjia must go to find Xiao Ye to see how capable this so-called contemporary martial arts number one is.
