Chapter 178 Take action
"Come again!"

Yan Dong walked into the hall with disheveled hair, holding a half-broken sword in his hand, without any of his previous arrogance.

He stared at Bai Yuan intently.

He believed that if he had not been careless just now, he would not have been defeated so quickly.

Now he just wants to have another fair fight with Bai Yuan to avenge his previous humiliation.

"Yan Dong, step back."

The middle-aged dark-skinned Taoist said in a low voice.

Yan Dong, who was originally unruly and mad, was like a chicken or duck with its neck pinched, and suddenly became silent.

This scene shocked everyone in the Shenfu Gate.

The status of this dark Taoist priest seems to be not simple, otherwise Yan Dong would not be so fearful.

"Yes, Brother Kaiyang."

When Ge Zhen heard the word Kaiyang, the shock on his face could no longer be concealed.

"Is this the Kaiyang Taoist from Changshou Palace?!"

When Ruan Xiulua heard the words "Kaiyang Taoist" from Ge Zhen, a look of surprise appeared on her face.

Although the Changshou Palace calls itself a Taoist sect, there are only a handful of people in the palace who can be called Taoists, and all of them are great masters of knowledge and perception.

Just like the Taoist Fazhen who led the team this time.

But there is one exception in the Changshou Palace, and that is the Taoist Kaiyang in front of him.

Although he has not yet broken through the perception barrier, the Lord of Changshou Palace personally gave him a Taoist name and said frankly that after he passed away two hundred years later, this Taoist Kaiyang would be the next Lord of the Palace.

"He actually came too."

Ruan Xiulua looked at the dark Taoist with fear.

Although Taoist Kaiyang is still only a true disciple in Changshou Palace, his status is only second to the three great masters of knowledge and perception, similar to Murong Jiujiang's role in Shenfu Gate.

Murong Jiujiang stared at the dark Taoist priest. The other party was the strongest genius in the whole Lingzhou, but he already felt that he was no match for him before the fight even started.

Because although there is a record of this Taoist Kaiyang rarely taking action, his most recent attack killed a master from another state. That man's strength is no less than those of the peak masters of the Shenfu Sect.

"Junior Brother Bai Yuan is the strongest here, would you like to lend a hand?"

Taoist Kaiyang looked at Bai Yuan calmly yet firmly, ignoring everyone else in the Divine Mansion.

After hearing Taoist Kaiyang's words, the expressions on the faces of the people in the Shenfu Sect became strange.

Everyone present was the strongest of the Shenfu Sect. In addition to the three peak masters and two supreme elders, there was also Murong Jiujiang, who was in no way inferior to the peak masters. However, Zhenren Kaiyang said that Bai Yuan was the strongest, which made them somewhat embarrassed.

Bai Yuan: "Since you are interested, I will help you."

Today, Changshou Palace has a bad guest, so as the host, he naturally doesn't need to be too polite, otherwise it would be a loss of dignity.

Of course, what Kaiyang Dao said about shaking hands was not a real handshake, Bai Yuan was not as good as Long Yang.

The so-called "da shou" is a slang term in Lingzhou's underworld, which means to learn from each other.

I have heard for a long time that this Taoist Kaiyang likes to travel around the world and rarely appears in Changshou Palace, so it is normal for him to know these underworld slang.

Because of this, very few people know the true face of this Taoist priest Kaiyang.

Taoist Kaiyang: "Please."

"Come!"

Bai Yuan stood up suddenly, with the long sword in his hand still in its sheath, just right for chopping people.

His first strike was his strongest.

Return to the mountains!

When Taoist Kaiyang saw this swift knife, the hairs on his back stood up.

He raised the ancient long sword in his hand from bottom to top, trying to neutralize Bai Yuan's sword.

Bai Yuan's long sword collided with Taoist Kaiyang's sword, but what was amazing was that the collision between the swords did not make any sound at all.

Ge Zhen's eyes widened when he saw this scene: "It's strength."

He realized that the reason for such a strange scene was that Taoist Kaiyang had covered the sword with a very thin layer of strength.

This layer of force stuck to Bai Yuan's knife like a dog-skin plaster.

Bai Yuan raised his eyebrows.

What a superb swordsmanship, and more accurately, what a unique strength.

Ordinary martial artists would only cover their bodies with energy to increase strength and defense, but Taoist Kaiyang took a completely different approach.

Bai Yuan suddenly got angry.

The terrifying power brought by the legendary Tiger-Crane Style allowed him to easily break free from the restraints of the sword.

Cut again!

Taoist Kaiyang held the sword horizontally in his right hand and continued to block.

Bai Yuan then discovered that this Taoist Kaiyang was actually taking the approach of striking back after being attacked, which was completely different from the brave and aggressive fighting style of ordinary martial artists.

He was so excited at the sight of prey that he couldn't help but cut a few more times.

If we can kill this Taoist priest Kaiyang, we will get a lot of strengthening points.

Bai Yuan chopped and Taoist Kaiyang blocked it.

But there was no sound in the hall, and the scene was extremely strange for a moment.

Yan Dong, who was standing by, looked even colder when he saw this scene.

He didn't expect that Shenfu Sect actually had such a monster, who could actually fight with his senior brother Kaiyang Taoist until now.

Just as Bai Yuan was about to chop down with his sword, Taoist Kaiyang suddenly floated back ten meters.

"Brother Bai, you are so good at martial arts. I am ashamed to say that I am not as good as you."

Taoist Kaiyang bowed and admitted defeat just like that.

Bai Yuan: "The fight is not over yet, so winning or losing doesn't count."

Taoist Fazhen also showed a surprised look on his face. He did not expect that today's duel would end in this way. This time, Changshou Palace brought Kaiyang with them, but in the end, it ended in a dull way because of the young man named Bai Yuan in front of him.

Except for Shangguan Jin who was seriously injured, no one was injured.

Such a result made Taoist Fazhen somewhat disappointed.

However, since Kaiyang Taoist has chosen to stop the war, he certainly won't be so shameless as to continue fighting.

Changshou Palace is a major clan in Lingzhou. Even if one is indifferent to fame and fortune, one still has to maintain one's dignity.

"Brother Ge, if that's the case, then we won't bother you any more."

Taoist Fazhen knew that it was useless to stay any longer, so he immediately took Taoist Kaiyang and the other two down the mountain.

Ge Zhen smiled warmly: "Daoist Fellow Fazhen, come again next time."

When everyone in Shenfu Gate saw Changshou Palace leaving, they breathed a sigh of relief.

If it weren't for Bai Yuan today, the situation would probably be difficult to resolve.

Thinking of this, everyone turned their eyes to Bai Yuan.

Just as Taoist Kaiyang said, Bai Yuan is very likely the strongest among them. Even Murong Jiujiang and the three peak masters who are at their peak are no match for him.

Bai Yuan calmly felt the gazes of the people from the Shenfu Gate.

Now that your strength has been exposed, there is no need to be shy.

Murong Jiujiang sighed in his heart, and then clasped his fists solemnly: "Today is all thanks to Junior Brother Bai."

He witnessed the fight between Bai Yuan and Taoist Kaiyang with his own eyes, and knew that he could not handle Taoist Kaiyang's strange methods. If it were any other martial artist who had entered the realm of strength, they would have been tortured to death by Taoist Kaiyang's strange strength.

Only Bai Yuan, who has the ability to break everything with force, could defeat Taoist Kaiyang.

However, neither Bai Yuan nor Taoist Kaiyang actually used their true abilities, so today's victory or defeat, as Bai Yuan said, cannot be counted.

Before Murong Jiujiang finished speaking, the rest of the people from the Shenfu Sect all bowed to Bai Yuan.

"Thank you, Junior Brother Bai."

"Master Bai, great righteousness."

The internal fighting within the Shenfu Sect is internal fighting, but that is all behind closed doors. When encountering external enemies, of course they have to work together.

In particular, Ruan Xiulua was extremely grateful, as she was certain that she was no match for Taoist Kaiyang.

If she really couldn't stand the provocation from the young Taoist today, she would step forward to fight.

Even if he could defeat the young Taoist, he would definitely be defeated by Taoist Kaiyang. Taoist Kaiyang would even take the opportunity to beat all the peak masters and supreme elders present.

By then, the backbone of the Shenfu Sect would be broken by Taoist Kaiyang alone.

Fortunately, all of this was wiped out by Bai Yuan who suddenly appeared.

Shi Baishan was also among them and stood up helplessly, saying a few words against his will to Bai Yuan.

Among those present, he was the only one who hoped that Shenfu Sect would suffer a crushing defeat and be ravaged by Changshou Palace as badly as possible.

He has already bet on the Lingzhou Army.

If the Lingzhou Army fails to swallow the Shenfu Gate and the two sides fall into a stalemate again, his rebellion will definitely be known to Murong Tian.

General Zhaowu Ji Chang is not an easy person to deal with. He will definitely use him as a bargaining chip to gain greater benefits.

But he no longer had a choice.
Bai Yuan's growth rate has already frightened him.

Bai Yuan is now able to suppress him completely. Within ten years, or even just five years, the entire Shi family will be crawling at Bai Yuan's feet.

He would never allow such a thing to happen.

When it comes to making a choice between Shenfu Sect and the Shi Family, he would of course choose his own family without hesitation.

loyalty?

That's the most ridiculous thing in the world.

Shi Baishan would never do such a stupid thing as dying in battle for the sect.

Ge Zhen smiled gently and patted Bai Yuan's shoulder: "Young people are to be feared."

He is different from Shi Baishan and others. Although he was once the master of a peak, he has almost no following in the Shenfu Gate, let alone family power.

After retiring from the head of Jiuzhuan Peak to the Grand Elder, he originally just wanted to enjoy a leisurely life, but the sect leader Murong Tiantian kept thinking about him every day, and he could not live in peace.

However, compared with the other peak masters and supreme elders, his feelings for Shenfu Sect are even more genuine.

Perhaps he began to like the words loyalty and righteousness when he got older. When he was young, he was actually quite rebellious, so this made him appreciate Bai Yuan even more.

In fact, the person that Shenfu Sect feels most sorry for is Wanjun Peak, whether it is Dong Wanjun or Bai Yuan, but he is very pleased that Bai Yuan is still willing to take action today.

Bai Yuan: "Mr. Ge, you are so kind."

The reason why he chose to take action today was certainly not because of some damn loyalty or righteousness.

Actually, he didn't have much feelings for Shenfu Sect. If he had any feelings, it was only for Wanjun Peak.

The Changshou Palace has ill intentions and is very likely to join forces with the Lingzhou Army to target the Shenfu Gate.

If the Changshou Palace really succeeds today, the Shenfu Sect might face an even more difficult situation, and it is possible that the sect will be wiped out.

Once the Shenfu Sect was destroyed, all the status he had worked so hard to gain would be in vain. It would take a lot of effort for him to find a place where he could practice martial arts and improve his skills in peace.

Murong Jiujiang said solemnly to everyone: "Everyone, Changshou Palace is not here just for a simple exchange of ideas. There must be a back-up plan. You need to be extra careful."

Everyone nodded.

It can be seen from the behavior of the Changshou Palace that if it were not for Bai Yuan, no one from the Shenfu Gate would be able to walk out of the hall standing today.

Murong Jiujiang showed a thoughtful look: "According to reason, Master should have returned to the sect today, why hasn't he appeared yet?"

Just when he received the news from Changshou Palace two days ago, he had already sent a secret letter to Murong Tian.

But two days passed and there was no sign of Murong Tian.

If they hadn't been delayed by the war at the front, something big must have happened.

Thinking of this, a layer of gloom rose in everyone's heart.
