From the Ming Dynasty, we will conquer the world

After learning of Xu Xing's identity as the "reincarnated spirit boy", Lang Fanyun and Fan Liangji were a little surprised, but after thinking about it carefully, they felt it was quite reasonable.

Otherwise, where in the world could such a young, yet so unfathomable, mysterious master emerge from?

Fan Liangji asked in disbelief:

"Could it be that reincarnation really exists in this world?"

After what happened just now, the four people and one monkey couldn't go back to the original restaurant to eat, so they simply changed the place and started over.

Xu Xing naturally had the final say on this issue. He smiled and said:
"In fact, life and death are not far apart. If you really die once, you may find that death is just the beginning of a second life..."

When Xu Xing said this, he recalled his God-given second life, and a deep feeling of emotion emerged on his childish and innocent face.

Li Ruohai and Lang Fanyun, two masters of the Void Realm with extremely keen senses, couldn't help but feel an inexplicable conviction in their hearts when they heard Xu Xing's true feelings expressed without any falsehood or pretense.

It was as if he had really died once.

Li Ruohai suddenly remembered that Xu Xing only said that he was not the Chakravartin that the Tantric Buddhism was looking for, but he never said that he was not a reincarnated person.

Seeing that they all looked shocked and puzzled, Xu Xing did not continue the conversation. He just waved his hand and said:

“But I think that maybe even they themselves don’t know who they are looking for.

So, whenever they see something similar, they’ll give it a try.”

Fan Liangji smiled bitterly and said:

"If that's the case, it will be even more troublesome."

Everyone present understood what Fan Liangji meant.

For an answer that is still uncertain, the fact that the Tibetan Tantric Buddhism is willing to send out a top martial arts master of the level of the Red Sun Dharma King only shows that the importance of this "reincarnated child" is completely immeasurable.

Lang Fanyun pondered for a moment, and suddenly said:
"Brother Xu, I know an old senior with unfathomable skills, otherwise..."

Fan Liangji also sighed and said:

"If the identity of that old senior is really as you and I think, I'm afraid that in this world, he is the only one who can protect Brother Xu from harm."

Lang Fanyun thought for a while, then suddenly stood up with a heavy expression.

"With the death of the Red Sun Dharma King, even if the Tibetan Tantric Sect has a grand plan, it may not be able to spare any manpower for a while. Brother Xu, let's take this opportunity and set off now."

Fan Liangji also nodded, agreeing with Lang Fanyun's judgment.

As an old thief who has been hanging around in Shuzhong for a long time, he is very familiar with the distribution of major forces in this area. He said solemnly:
“Because it is adjacent to Tibet, the influence of the Tantric Buddhism in Shuzhong is also quite strong. Otherwise, they would not have been able to find it so accurately.

Now that the Red Sun Dharma King is dead, I'm afraid the news will spread quickly. Just as Brother Lang said, we'd better set off quickly."

Although they knew that Xu Xing was carrying a huge responsibility, Lang Fanyun and Fan Liangji had no intention of retreating or shrinking. Instead, they took the initiative to think of ways to avoid disaster for him.

Li Ruohai couldn't help but think at this moment.

Although she knew that after the Four Secret Masters returned to Tibet, the Red Sun Dharma King, who was the "first person in Tantric practice", would definitely visit the Central Plains in person, she did not expect that this person would come so quickly and so urgently.

The girl had never expected that in addition to the Red Sun Dharma King, even a figure like Si Hanfei would personally go out for Xu Xing.

Now that the Red Sun Dharma King has been defeated and Si Hanfei has returned to the frontier seriously injured, the Dalun Temple and the Demon Master Palace will certainly not let it go.

Next time they come, it will definitely be a figure like the "magic master" Pang Ban who will come in person, and even the extremely mysterious Living Buddha Yingyuan will probably have to leave the Dalun Temple.

In this situation, can Xu Xing still cope with it?
Seeing their anxious expressions, Xu Xing laughed, bowed to them, and said sincerely:

"I appreciate your kindness."

Having said that, Xu Xing changed the subject and said lightly:

“However, if Dalun Temple wants to use force, it won’t be that easy.

What's more, I have been thinking about these masters outside the Great Wall for a long time, but it would be a waste of time to find them one by one, so I might as well take this opportunity to let them come to me on their own initiative."

Although Xu Xing said this casually, his words still unconsciously revealed a domineering spirit of being at the top and not afraid of any challenge.

It was not until then that Fan Liangji and Lang Fanyun finally realized that the child in front of them, although seemingly young and of unknown origin, must be a master who had gone through countless trials and tribulations and was full of absolute confidence in himself.

Moreover, when Xu Xing mentioned the masters from outside the Great Wall, his excited tone made the two of them turn their heads and look at Li Ruohai, whose expression was calm and composed.

The same idea came to their minds at the same time.

——Sure enough, if their personalities were not compatible, how could the "evil spirit" with his temper walk with others?

Since his debut, Li Ruohai has been famous for his obsession with bellicosity and aggressiveness, but now it seems that Brother Xu, who suddenly appeared out of nowhere, is even more bellicosity and aggressive than this notorious "evil spirit".

Seeing that the two were still somewhat worried, Xu Xing spread out his hands again and said calmly:
“Even if we take a step back and say that even if Phagpa and Mengchixing want to personally attack me and I can’t defeat them, I can still escape.

If I can really take this opportunity to get a glimpse of the methods of these great masters and experience the empty realm of the third heaven, it will be a rare experience for me. "

Xu Xing only mentioned the two names of Meng Chixing and Ba Siba because the Demon Master Palace and the Dalun Temple were two of the world's leading martial arts holy places. Although they were full of strong men and experts, in his eyes, only these two half-step broken grandmasters were worth giving in to.

Even the famous "magic master" Pang Ban and "living Buddha" Ying Yuan, in Xu Xing's opinion, are at most on par with himself now.

If he could fight with these two people, he would be more than happy to do so and naturally would not run away.

After finishing speaking, Xu Xing said calmly:

"In fact, the Great Wheel Temple and the Magic Master Palace should also consider whether it is worth it to mess with me."

Fan Liangji couldn't help but nodded, showing an expression of deep approval.

In fact, after hearing what Xu Xing said, he also got rid of his awe and filter towards these two martial arts holy places.

A careful analysis will reveal that although Dalun Temple and Demon Master Palace are powerful and wealthy, it would be unwise to rashly offend Xu Xing, a peerless master whose origins are unknown.

Lang Fanyun thought about it carefully and felt that it was indeed the case. He sighed sincerely:

"The Tibetan Tantric Buddhism has really backfired this time."

After sighing, he couldn't help but ask:
"But, since they think you are the Holy King of the Chakravartin, why did they start fighting and make such a fuss?"

Xu Xing smiled slightly and said lightly:
“In the beginning, I met four lamas on the road. They said I was a reincarnated child and wanted me to go back to Dalun Temple with them.

I refused, so they used force. After the fight, the four of them were exhausted and would not live long.

Because of their extraordinary martial arts attainments, I let them return to Tibet and left their legacy behind, which led to what happened today."

When Fan Liangji heard the cause, he didn't find it strange at all.

He had been in Shu for a long time, so he naturally had deep feelings about these things, and he also had a great understanding of the behavior of these lamas. He just laughed and said:

“Over the years, Dalun Temple has relied on the fact that Master Zhang has been in seclusion to repair the holes, and that the old monk Bashiba is in charge, and that the next generation has produced figures like Yingyuan, so they have acted arrogantly.

Since the matter of the 'reincarnated spirit child' is so important to them, once they have a clue, they will naturally not argue with others.

For this, he lost his life, the Red Sun Dharma King. It was his own fault and he deserved it."

When Fan Liangji said this, he couldn't help but let out another strange laugh, looking quite pleased.

In fact, over the years, seeing that Zhang Sanfeng had not appeared in the world for a long time, the Dalun Temple and the Demon Master Palace often crossed the border and came to the Central Plains martial arts world to stir up trouble.

Although they didn't dare to go too far due to the existence of the old Taoist priest, they still did cause harm to many people in the martial arts world and martial arts sects.

Ever since Pang Ban made his debut and brazenly killed Shaolin Master Juejie, this kind of friction has become more frequent.

Apart from the ins and outs of the matter, Lang Fanyun was most concerned about the beginning and end of the battle. Li Ruohai was also very interested in this, so Xu Xing explained it to the two of them while eating.

Xu Xing recounted the entire process in detail, from using his soul to explore the way in the beginning and test out the flaws and defects of the Red Sun Dharma King, to deliberately exposing the flaws of the mismatch between his physical body and spirit, and then using the Heavenly Drum and Thunder Sound Seal to defeat the enemy.

Moreover, Xu Xingyi not only narrated orally, but also used his spiritual cultivation to recall the details of the battle for everyone, and also slightly imitated the martial arts of King Hongri and Si Hanfei.

After listening to it, Lang Fanyun finally understood why Xu Xing said that he could defeat these two people, and it was not entirely due to his martial arts skills.

But it was precisely because of this that he had a deeper understanding of Xu Xing's combat wisdom and martial arts realm.

Li Ruohai fell into deep thought. She was an expert in actual combat and very good at gaining insights from battles. Now that she had learned Xu Xing's experience, she was naturally greatly inspired.

After Xu Xing finished talking about his own battle experience, a long time passed before the agitated emotions of the crowd gradually calmed down, and they felt that the relationship between them became closer.

Lang Fanyun also took the initiative to talk about his own background.

It was not until this moment that Li Ruohai and Fan Liangji realized that this young master of the Void Realm did not come from any famous sect.

His miraculous and exquisite swordsmanship was achieved without any guidance from a master, and he had not even learned any famous martial arts skills.

Even Li Ruohai, who was always confident, was shocked by such talent.

Fan Liangji admired him very much.

Lang Fanyun was not at all proud or complacent about such achievements, but just calmly narrated his experiences.

He was originally a fisherman's son by the Dongting Lake. After he mastered the art of sword in the lake, he traveled around the world for not long before he met this monkey in a forest.

The first time they met, Lang Fanyun had his purse stolen by this monkey.

He didn't expect that a monkey roaming the mountains and wilds would have such means, so he used his lightness skills to chase after it.

What Lang Fanyun didn't expect was that this monkey was not only an expert in stealing skills, but also had extremely profound internal skills.

The two of them, one running away and the other chasing, went around in the mountains for who knows how many times, but the distance between them never got closer, as if the monkey was deliberately teasing him.

Even though Lang Fanyun tried every possible means, he was unable to gain any advantage from the monkey and was forced to draw his sword.

Seeing Lang Fanyun drawing his sword, the monkey actually broke off a branch to make a sword and started to compete with him in swordsmanship.

Lang Fanyun paused when he spoke here, then turned back to look at the monkey feasting on the wine table, smiled helplessly, and sighed:

"The reason why I said that most of my swordsmanship was learned from Dongting Lake is because a small part of it came from this monkey brother."

Lang Fanyun is a rare swordsman prodigy who is born with a natural sensitivity to swordsmanship.

Therefore, as soon as he fought with the monkey, he realized the exquisiteness of the other party's swordsmanship and became deeply immersed in it.

For this purpose, Lang Fanyun even lived in the mountains for a full month and a half just to learn this sword technique.

Fan Liangji looked at the monkey, then looked at Lang Fanyun, and asked curiously:
“Brother Lang, in the end, have you learned it?”

Lang Fanyun nodded first, then shook his head:

"I've forgotten."

There was a hint of reminiscence and longing in his eyes, and he smiled and said:
“During that month and a half, I went into the mountains with Brother Monkey in order to learn swordsmanship, but as time went on, I was unconsciously immersed in the mountain scenery and even forgot about this idea.

It wasn't until a month and a half later that a burly man suddenly appeared in front of me.

This senior told me that my swordsmanship has been applied to other areas and I have reached the level where I can listen to the 'sounds of nature', but my level of understanding the 'sounds of man' is still a little shallow.

So, he asked me to bring this monkey brother to find Brother Fan and walk the rivers and lakes."

After hearing this story, Xu Xing couldn't help but clap his hands and laugh.

"I heard that the Yue girl in the Spring and Autumn Period also took a white ape as her teacher and eventually achieved the supreme sword art. Brother Lang has had such an adventure, so he should have achieved such an achievement."

Lang Fanyun didn't care about Xu Xing's teasing and just laughed.

After three rounds of drinking, Fan Liangji stood up first, looked at Xu Xing and Li Ruohai, clasped his fists and bowed, then took the initiative to speak, sincerely:
"You two, there are still two months before the meeting on East Island. I want to go back first to see some old friends. It will be inconvenient for us to travel together on the next section of the journey. Please forgive me. We will meet again on June 6th at East Island."

When Lang Fanyun heard this, he understood what Fan Liangji meant.

With their current skills, if they were to travel with Xu Xing, they would not only be unable to help, but would also become an unnecessary burden. Therefore, Fan Liangji took the initiative to say goodbye.

Thinking of this, Lang Fanyun also stood up, put his arm around Fan Liangji's shoulders, and said with a smile:
"In that case, let me accompany Brother Fan. Brother Xu, Miss Li, we'll see you in Dongdao."

Xu Xing thought for a moment and said with a smile:

"Brother Lang's current difficulty lies in human relationships and reason, and breaking through the realm is not between life and death. It would be a good thing for him to travel around the world with Brother Fan.

Then I wish you two safe journey, and we will meet again in the East Island in the future, and we will see the majesty of the City Lord Shen together!"

The three of them smiled at each other. The monkey jumped onto the table and started chirping and making a lot of noises. Even Li Ruohai stood up, clasped his fists towards the two of them, and said take care.

After the monkey finished calling, it looked at Xu Xing again, and there was a human-like look of reluctance in its eyes.

Although it couldn't understand why there was a familiar aura on this hairless creature, it couldn't help feeling a little sad knowing that they were about to part.

When Xu Xing saw the monkey's gaze, he suddenly felt something. He touched his head and said with a smile:
"Before we part, I will also give you an opportunity. Whether you can gain some understanding in the future depends on your luck."

After he finished speaking, his brows lit up, and two golden lights suddenly appeared in the monkey's eyes. The hair all over his body exploded and his tail stood up.

Lang Fanyun, who had been with it the longest, suddenly felt that a completely different aura, even completely opposite to the previous lively and active aura, suddenly emerged from this old fellow.

He lowered his head and actually saw a sense of solemnity in the furry monkey face. He raised his head again and looked at Xu Xing in disbelief.

Xu Xing smiled slightly:
"Some of my boxing skills were originally inspired by the divine power of the ape. Now that I pass it back to it, it can be regarded as fulfilling this fate."

In fact, as early as the Ming Dynasty, there were boxers who had imagined what effect would occur if the essence of pictographic boxing was passed on to the corresponding animals.

Of course, the monkeys that resembled humans the most were the ones that were used as experimental subjects the most. However, due to the limitations of martial artists' comprehension of boxing techniques and the difficulty of teaching, only a few monkeys were successful.

But for Xu Xing, this is not a problem.

As early as in the Ming Dynasty, Xu Xing had used the monkey's spirit and the white-clothed bandit's disaster fist to evolve the power of moving mountains. In the Northern Song Dynasty, he used this as a basis to elaborate on the "True Form of Moving Mountains" and the subsequent Fighting and Victory Buddha form.

In terms of his understanding of monkey-form and ape-form pictographic boxing, he was the first person in the entire history of the Ming Dynasty.

Moreover, Xu Xing also possesses extremely profound spiritual cultivation and is good at transmitting knowledge through mind. For him to pass on his skills to the monkey is a piece of cake.

He also wanted to see how far this magical monkey could go after gaining his insights, so he simply passed on all his martial arts.

Fan Liangji was also quite familiar with the temperament of this monkey. Seeing this scene, he was also incredulous and said with emotion:

"Brother Xu, are you really not a Buddhist disciple?"

Xu Xing smiled again:
"To see the nature and become a Buddha, why be bound by the Buddhist school or outside the Buddhist school?"

He looked at the monkey with a look of wisdom in his eyes and said leisurely:

“There is a saying in Buddhism that ‘a stubborn stone nods’. Although my Buddhist practice has not reached that level yet, it is not far off.

This step can be regarded as a temporary opening of its spiritual wisdom. How far it can go in the future depends on its own luck. "

After finishing his words, Xu Xing bowed to the two of them and said in a deep voice:

"You two, take care!"

"Take care of yourself!"

With the words "take care", the four people and the monkey parted ways. Looking at the receding backs of Lang Fanyun and Fan Liangji, Li Ruohai suddenly said:
"This brother Lang is so indifferent. This is the first time I have seen a warrior like him who seems to not care about anything."

Although they had not been together for a long time, Li Ruohai could fully feel the leisurely and indifferent temperament of Lang Fanyun.

This temperament is somewhat similar to Xue Chan, but without the grace of a nobleman, but more of a carefree, casual and unrestrained manner.

Compared with Li Ruohai, who has clear goals and strong obsession, Lang Fanyun can be said to be two extremes.

Xu Xing glanced at her, did not answer, but smiled and said:

"There are still two months until the meeting on East Island. Miss Li, is there anywhere else you want to go?"

Li Ruohai thought about it, shook his head, and said naturally:

"Since there are still two months left, we might as well find a place to practice. During this period, we can also make some arrangements so that if Pang Ban and others really come to us, we can deal with them easily."

Since her debut, she has been either challenging the strong or in the process of challenging the strong. She has almost never had a day of idleness.

The two-month gap is extremely rare for Li Ruohai.

After hearing this, Xu Xing just waved his hand and said with a smile:
"If Pang Ban comes, we can just fight him. Why bother ruining our mood for him?

I like to travel to famous mountains and rivers. If you have nothing else to do, Miss Li, why don't you come with me and travel together?"

Li Ruohai frowned when she heard the words "swimming arm in arm". For her, spending time on anything other than martial arts training and fighting was an intolerable waste.

However, after thinking for a moment, Li Ruohai did not object. He just nodded, which meant he accepted it.

Xu Xing knew Li Ruohai's personality very well, so he could naturally see that she was somewhat reluctant, so he raised his sleeves and waved them in front of Li Ruohai.

Li Ruohai could clearly feel an aura that was very similar to the wedding dress qi, but hotter and more ferocious, coming from Xu Xing's sleeves, and he couldn't help but widen his eyes.

Xu Xing retracted his sleeves and said leisurely:

"After the death of the Red Sun Dharma King, his remaining field power and soul were all collected by me. This part of power can be used to sharpen your 'Liaoyuan Field'.

We can practice while walking, so that we won’t delay our practice.”

Although the Red Sun Dharma King is dead, his remaining strength is enough to cause a large-scale phenomenon in heaven and earth.

For Li Ruohai, a master of the first level of the Void Realm whose true Qi properties are similar to his, this is an extremely suitable training.

The girl can also take this opportunity to get a glimpse of the structure of the second heaven field. This experience is more valuable than simple training.

When Li Ruohai heard this, he thought of something else. His eyes widened even wider, and even showed an unusual sharpness.

"You were already injured, and you used your body to forcibly suppress this power?"

Xu Xing looked at Li Ruohai without any scruples and said frankly:

"It would be a shame if we don't stay and study such an interesting thing."

He rolled the black fire into a ball and played with it repeatedly in his sleeves. Thinking of Li Chimei who had been killed earlier, he sighed and said regretfully:

"It's a pity that Li Chimei's field wasn't strong enough, and he died too quickly, so he didn't leave this thing behind. Actually, his method of 'Heavenly Charm Condensing Yin' was quite interesting, but it's a pity."

Xu Xing looked at Li Ruohai again, and suddenly realized something. He tilted his head, opened his big black eyes, and asked curiously:
"Miss Li, you are not angry, are you?"

He stood on a stool and patted Li Ruohai on the shoulder.

"For us warriors, getting injured is commonplace. You should be familiar with this kind of thing. There's no need to worry about it."

After hearing what he said, Li Ruohai realized that the girl had done similar things many times herself.

In order to comprehend the profound meaning of a spearmanship school, she even stored the spear force in her body for more than three days, and only expelled it when her internal organs could no longer bear the burden.

From this perspective, Li Ruohai had no reason to blame Xu Xing, because they were the same kind of people.

However, even though Li Ruohai understood this, he still felt quite uncomfortable, as if there was a breath stuck in his throat that was difficult to release, and his heart was filled with anxiety.

——This feeling is extremely rare for her.

Fortunately, the girl is a very reserved and deep person, and she never likes to express her emotions too intensely.

So, she took one, two, and three deep breaths before finally calming down and speaking calmly:
"Okay, I got it, let's go."

Although her tone was flat, Li Ruohai spoke very quickly. After she finished speaking, she didn't even look at Xu Xing, grabbed her gun, and walked out.

After walking a few steps, Li Ruohai suddenly remembered that the reason why Xu Xing took the risk to suppress this energy was entirely for his own martial arts practice.

But she has this attitude, isn't that ungrateful?
As soon as she thought of the word "ungrateful", the girl's pent-up feelings immediately disappeared, and a strong sense of guilt emerged.

So, she stopped abruptly and stood still, and the edges of her flying tights even stopped, leaving Xu Xing with an infinitely beautiful back view.

After a while, she turned around and, after a long pause, managed to utter a stiff thank you:
"I appreciate your kindness, but I won't do it again."

Although Xu Xing didn't know how many thoughts she had thought about and how many struggles she had gone through in such a short period of time, he could sense that the atmosphere was not right.

So, he jumped down from the stool obediently, said "OK", then took a step forward, followed Li Ruohai's pace, and began to do his best to act like a child that matched his external image.

Not far away, Fan Liangji, who had not walked far, saw this scene and couldn't help but sighed. He patted Lang Fanyun on the shoulder and said with a smile:
"Brother Lang, I said we should go."

Although Lang Fanyun was new to the martial arts world, he had a natural sensitivity to the emotions between people. This talent was in no way inferior to his aptitude in swordsmanship, so he nodded in agreement.

After a while, he couldn't help but sigh:

"This, this is really..."

Lang Fanyun thought for a long time but couldn't come up with any suitable words, so he sighed again and said nothing.

Fan Liangji laughed strangely, raised his thumb, and admired sincerely:
"I would say that Brother Xu is really good at this. He is probably the only person in the world who can make the 'evil spirit' show this kind of emotion."

Lang Fanyun nodded again and agreed:

"Yes, yes."

Fan Liangji smiled slightly, waved his sleeves, and greeted:
"Brother Lang, it's time to go. When we meet in Dongdao in the future, Brother Xu will definitely toast to both of us."

Lang Fanyun followed quickly, feeling a little curious.

"Brother Fan, what have we done in the past two months?"

Fan Liangji smiled slyly:
“The outcome of the battle on East Island is unpredictable, so we should take advantage of this time to do something we like to do, so as to avoid regrets in the future.

Brother Lang, you should also know my job as Fan Liangji."

Lang Fanyun shook his head and said honestly:
"The old senior only said that Brother Fan was his friend regardless of age difference. I don't know anything else."

Fan Liangji turned around, looking surprised.

"That's all you know, yet you dare to come to me alone. Aren't you afraid that person is deliberately deceiving you?"

Lang Fanyun shook his head.

"I never thought of it that way."

After thinking for a while, he added:
"I can feel that the old senior did not lie."

Fan Liangji touched his forehead and sighed:

"I now know why he asked you to come to me. Brother Lang, the world is treacherous and you still have a lot to learn.

Come on, I will teach you the first lesson today."

"what class?"

Lang Fanyun was curious.

Fan Liang was very patient and persuasive.

"The world is dangerous because people's hearts are unpredictable and hard to predict. But for a pure and kind person like you, it's hard to guard against them all the time.

As the saying goes, there is only a thief who can steal for a thousand days, but there is no such thing as a thief on guard for a thousand days. "

When Lang Fanyun remembered that as soon as he entered the world of martial arts, his things were stolen by a monkey, he nodded unconsciously.

Seeing how smart he was, Fan Liangji smiled maliciously.

"Since the old saying is true, I will teach you how to be a thief first."

When it came to his old profession, Fan Liangji seemed like a different person, talking incessantly and fluently, and the monkey became so excited that he danced with joy and chirped.

When Lang Fanyun saw the two of them working together in cahoots, he couldn't help but wonder - is this really what I want to learn?

Just when the old thief was preparing to develop a new subordinate for his great cause, Xu Xing and Li Ruohai had already left Jinguan City and headed towards the Three Gorges.

Xu Xing had experienced the scenery of the Three Gorges in both the Ming Dynasty and the Northern Song Dynasty. Although the overall structure was similar, there were still countless differences between them.

Therefore, he was also quite interested in the Three Gorges in this world.

-

Qutang Gorge.

The wind and rain had not stopped at this time, and the rain poured down, forming a white pearl curtain that turned this place into chaos. The waves behind pushed the waves in front to roar and surge, hitting the rocks and stirring up water splashes all over the sky.

The river is extremely turbulent, with high mountains on both sides facing each other, steep cliffs, rising mist, surging waves, whirlpools, and lingering clouds. The narrowest part of the water is only a few feet.

Gu Ningqing closed her eyes, floating in the dark underwater world, holding her breath and concentrating, not daring to reveal even a trace of breath, like a lifeless sculpture sunk into the water.

She had been lurking here for a whole day and night. Being in the water, she had to bear tremendous pressure at all times. Every tiny movement was a huge drain, especially now that she was being hunted.

Gu Ningqing is the successor of Shuangxiu Mansion. The reason why he ended up here is because of the persecution of the Yingui Sect, or the Tianming Sect.

Shuang Xiu Mansion is an extremely mysterious sect in the martial arts world. In fact, their ancestors were originally from the Oirat people, and belonged to a different tribe from the leader of the Huajian Sect of the Demonic Sect, the "Flower Fairy" Nian Liandan.

When the Mongols were expanding their power in the past, Nian Liandan's father Nian Ye surrendered to the Mongols and occupied the Wushuang Kingdom of the Shuangxiu tribe, forcing them to flee to the Central Plains for refuge.

Later, the Mongols and Yuan Dynasty collapsed due to natural disasters, and Nian Liandan followed the Demon Master Palace and worshipped the "Demon Master" Pang Ban as the leader of the Demon Sect.

Because the "Double Cultivation Method" inherited in Shuang Xiu Mansion is extremely effective in restraining the internal skills of Hua Jian Sect, and there is also national hatred and family feud between the two sects, Nian Liandan's lifelong wish is to eliminate the remnants of the Wushuang Country in Shuang Xiu Mansion.

It was precisely because of the old grudge with the "Huajian Sect" and the miraculous effects of the "Dual Cultivation Method" that Gu Ningqing attracted the covetousness of the "Yingui Sect".

Ever since the "evil Buddha" of the "Yingui Sect" was defeated by Pang Ban, allowing the Demon Master Palace to become the commander-in-chief of the Demon Sect, the people of the "Yingui Sect" have always wanted to regain their position in the Demon Sect.

Under the leadership of Nian Liandan, the "Huajian Sect" was willing to be the running dogs of the Demon Master Palace, and naturally became a thorn in the eyes and flesh of the "Yingui Sect".

Therefore, the "Shuangxiu Mansion", which was the enemy of the "Huajian Sect", also came into the sight of the "Yingui Sect".

After a little investigation, the "Yingui Sect" discovered another thing.

The "Double Cultivation Method" of the Shuang Xiu Mansion is a method that originated from the secret art of India and focuses on the combination of yin and yang. It coincides with the "Yin Gui Sect"'s method of collecting and replenishing energy, which originated from the magic sect's "Channu Dafa".

The techniques of intercourse in the world are already rare, and the ones that can compare with the "Channu Dafa", the orthodox magic sect's heart sutra, are even rarer.

Therefore, the current leader of the Yingui Sect, Fu Yaohong, the junior sister of "Blood Hand" Li Gong, made a prompt decision and ordered the sect's masters to take action and make sure that the people in Ling Shuangxiu Mansion "cooperate" with them.

The Yingui Sect is a typical demonic sect, and its methods of "cooperating" with others are also full of demonic style.

They set their sights on the current Shuang Xiu Mansion's Princess Gu Ningqing, and wanted to capture her and force the masters of Shuang Xiu Mansion to submit.

If the cooperation fails, then at least he must obtain the secret of "Dual Cultivation" from Gu Ningqing.

However, they did not expect that although Gu Ningqing was young, he had already received the true teachings of Shuangxiu Mansion, and with the help of a Shaolin monk who showed up halfway, he was able to escape from the encirclement many times.

The chase and escape brought them to the Three Gorges.

However, this time, the people of the Yingui Sect were very confident in capturing this little girl.

It was because they invited out the "Evil Buddha" Zhong Zhongyou, the master of magic who was once famous in the world and had already entered the second level of the Void Realm.

The river was wide and the clouds were low, blocking out the stars and the moon. The thundering sound of the surging river even blocked out the sound of rain. Zhong Zhongyou stood by the river, scanning the dark river surface with his sharp eyes. His gaze was frighteningly cold.

In fact, with his status, there was no need for him to personally capture a little Gu Ningqing and a Shaolin monk, nor was there any need to be so anxious.

However, the battle that broke out outside Jinguan City before really left Zhong Zhongyou with lingering fears, and even terror.

That's why he would condescend to do so, just to complete the task as quickly as possible and escape from this place of trouble.

Zhong Zhongyou had also dealt with the Red Sun Dharma King in his early years, and he knew very well that the strength of this "number one person in northern Tibet" was comparable to his own. He was even more ashamed of himself for the old senior Si Hanfei.

Now, even these two people were taken down by the Buddhist master within three moves and two styles. Zhong Zhongyou was naturally frightened.

He wasn't even sure if he would have a chance to escape if he faced that man.

It was because of this mood that Zhong Zhongyou behaved as usual, doing everything by himself, fearing that his subordinates would slow down his efficiency, and he used his divine power more than ever before.

After a while, he suddenly opened his eyes and grinned:
"You little bitch, you think you can hide it from me?!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Ningqing, who was floating in the river, suddenly felt an extremely chilly, physical divine thought sweeping across his body from top to bottom.

The girl felt uncomfortable all over, as if all her coverings had been removed and she was completely exposed to the other person.

Even though she hadn't seen that person, Gu Ningqing could imagine a pair of evil and cold old eyes.

--not good!
Before Gu Ningqing could calm down from her shock, she saw the turbulent and surging water surface above her head suddenly separate from top to bottom, revealing a dark sky that looked like an iron curtain.

A short and fat old man with a kind face stood with his hands behind his back. The river water formed steps for him to climb down.

Zhong Zhongyou looked down at Gu Ningqing from a high position, nodded and stroked his beard, and said with a satisfied smile:

"As expected of this generation's 'Dual Cultivation Princess', she is truly stunningly beautiful. You little bitch, let me do it myself. Do you know the price?"

Gu Ningqing is a descendant of the Oirat people, and her appearance also has a strong foreign style. Her facial features are clear and distinct, her nose is much higher than that of ordinary women in the Central Plains, her eyes are also clear and blue, and her appearance is beautiful.

Zhong Zhongyou was born in the Yingui Sect, so naturally he had seen countless women, but he had never seen a beauty like Gu Ningqing. He felt his heart burning, and his eyes revealed a clear and evil light.

But although he was in a hurry, Zhong Zhongyou slowed down his movements. He walked down the stairs one step at a time, neither hurried nor slow.

With every step he took, Gu Ningqing's face became paler, her brows were furrowed in a look of pain, her lips were bitten with her pearly teeth, and she let out a helpless wail like a captured cub.

The closer Zhong Zhongyou got, the more frightened Gu Ningqing became. Her delicate body trembled slowly, and her tall figure curled up in the water. It was difficult for her to maintain her internal energy, and her clothes were wet, making her look even more delicate and pitiful.

Zhong Zhongyou's mouth stretched into a grin, revealing eight sharp white teeth, and his smile became more and more hearty.

"My little beauty, my little beauty, if there were no powerful enemy beside me, I would really like to try out the magical effect of your Shuang Xiu Mansion's 'Double Cultivation Method'.

But don’t worry, when you get there, you can try out our Yin Gui Sect’s methods first.”

When Gu Ningqing heard the name "Yingui Sect", her face turned even paler. Although she knew that the person who captured her was from the Demon Sect, she thought it was a member of the "Huajian Sect" under Nian Liandan.

It was not until today that she realized that the one who secretly attacked was actually the Yingui Sect. The reputation of the Yingui Sect is known to everyone in the martial arts world.

If she fell into the hands of this group of people, with her beauty and figure, it is obvious what would happen.

Therefore, Gu Ningqing did not dare to delay even a bit, and immediately burst out the true energy that had been gathered in preparation for a desperate fight, just for a clean end.

At the last moment of her life, a beautiful and picturesque silhouette emerged in her mind. It was a tall and heroic woman in tight clothes, holding a spear in her hand, smiling at her faintly.

"Ruo Hai..."

But before Gu Ningqing's true energy could burst out, it was trapped by another irresistible powerful force.

With Gu Ningqing's level of cultivation, not only was he unable to break through this shackles, but even the circulation of his true Qi became difficult. This knowledgeable heir of the Shuangxiu Mansion suddenly realized that the visitor was actually a master of the Void Realm!
Immediately afterwards, her entire body was tied up tightly with a rope made of true energy. Gu Ningqing twisted her body helplessly, but the rope only made it tighter and tighter, and her body became colder and weaker.

After realizing that resistance and struggle would be useless, her pair of beautiful blue eyes suddenly opened and looked towards Zhong Zhongyou not far away, with a cold and stern look in her eyes.

Seeing her acting like this, Zhong Zhongyou was not angry, but laughed heartily:
"I never thought it was such a fierce horse. Interesting, really interesting. Young lady, you have aroused my interest.

Now I really want to see what expression you will show after you have enjoyed the methods of my Yin Gui Sect. "

The old man waved his right hand, grabbed Gu Ningqing back into his hand, looked up at the sky, and said with emotion:

"Once upon a time, I was also a rare charioteer in the world..."

Hearing the horrifying words of this inhuman old devil, Gu Ningqing's heart sank to the bottom of the valley. She felt cold hands and feet, and her whole body was chilled. She could only helplessly repeat that name over and over in her heart.

If the sea, if the sea——

Zhong Zhongyou waited for a while under the water before shaking his head and saying:
"Where is the Shaolin boy who was traveling with you? Why isn't he here?"

Zhong Zhongyou originally wanted to use some means to make Gu Ningqing reveal the whereabouts of the monk so as to eliminate the root of the problem.

But he suddenly remembered that there was a Buddhist master of unknown origin lingering nearby. At this critical juncture, it would be better not to create trouble.

Thinking of this, Zhong Zhongyou did not dare to delay. He picked up Gu Ningqing and floated to the surface of the river.

But halfway through the journey, he suddenly stopped.

Gu Ningqing saw very clearly that the old devil, who had just been so smug and beaming with joy, suddenly revealed a look of extreme horror.

At this moment, Zhong Zhongyou suddenly lost all his life force and dared not make any sound.

Gu Ningqing suddenly thought of how she looked just now. She felt very happy, but also a little at a loss.

She raised her head and looked out over the dark water.

Amid the vast sea of ​​smoke, a small boat was seen drifting downstream. (End of this chapter)
