The stolen magic is a bit magical

Du Yuexin looked up at the sky and sighed deeply: "Originally a place for quiet cultivation, it has evolved into a place of cunning and plunder over thousands of years. When a nunnery owns hundreds of thousands of acres of fertile land and hundreds of miles of water, and collects vast amounts of land tax, where is the original Buddhist and Taoist intention? I will give you two a choice: do you give up all these fields, forests, and waters and return to the original Buddhist and Taoist intention, or do you force me to disband Luohua Nunnery today?"

Miaoyu slowly raised her head, took a deep breath, and slowly put her hands together in front of her chest: "Amitabha, I fully accept my senior sister's instructions. I will immediately hand over these seventy-nine people to Lord Su, and hand over all my property to the government. I will enter the Buddhist hall to repent my past mistakes before the Buddha. I will not leave seclusion until I have returned to my original Buddhist faith."

With a gentle wave of her hand, she grabbed seventy-nine people from all over the mountain.

With a thud, it was thrown in front of Lin Xiaosu.

Knowing they had no way out, one of them roared, "Kill this corrupt official!"

With a whoosh, the entire team sprang up, brimming with murderous intent, and charged toward Lin Xiaosu, attempting to step over his corpse and embark on their escape from the martial world.

And believe it or not, all seventy-nine of them were highly skilled cultivators who had mastered the true techniques of the Falling Flower Hermitage.

This combined attack created a vast and overwhelming force, its power astounding.

However, Master Miaoyu's face suddenly turned extremely ugly.

The faces of everyone at Luohua Nunnery also turned grim.

Because of that charge, all their Buddhist characteristics vanished, which truly confirmed what Lin Xiaosu and the others had said: their butcher's knife had not actually been put down!

They just hid it!

When a crisis arrives, their true nature will still emerge.

Facing the countless magical shadows, Lin Xiaosu smiled. With a gentle wave of his hand, half the sky seemed to vanish in an instant, and the world transformed into the misty, rainy Jiangnan region.

Seventy-nine people plunged into this area, their dantian shattered one by one, and they fell from the sky.

"Zhang Tao!"

"exist!"

"Take them all away!"

"Yes!"

As soon as Zhang Tao gave the order, a warship broke through the sky and arrived; it was the flagship guarded by Mad Wolf.

With a wave of his hand, Zhang Tao sent the seventy-nine people who had fallen to the ground to the flagship.

Lin Xiaosu reached out to Master Miaoyu: "Give me the land deed!"

Four words: without any politeness.

Master Miaoyu gazed at him for a long time, and finally said, "Amitabha, Sister Miaoshen, give all the land deeds to Lord Su!"

Miao Shen reached behind her and a box rose into the air, landing in her hand. She handed the box over; inside were all the harvests of Luohua Nunnery over the past few thousand years.

"Two nuns, please don't blame me for being too ruthless. Years from now, you will know that today's loss is the greatest gain for your Falling Flower Nunnery!" Lin Xiaosu said, "Let's call it a day!"

His figure floated up gracefully, heading straight for the flagship.

Zhang Tao and Gu Suixin followed suit.

The flagship spun in mid-air and vanished without a trace.

Du Yuexin's gaze followed Lin Xiaosu's back for a moment before she took a step forward.

With that step, she vanished without a trace.

The Fallen Flower Hermitage was left behind, leaving everyone completely bewildered.

They simply couldn't understand why the founder of this school would do such a thing.

This founding patriarch was a latecomer to the sect. She was formerly a holy maiden of the Samsara Sect. When she was a holy maiden, she was a representative of mavericks who dared to think and act.

When she founded Luohua Nunnery, she didn't actually study Buddhism and Taoism much. The true transmission of Buddhism and Taoism was still maintained by her eloquent words and graceful actions. For a long time, this founder was just the person in charge of guarding this nunnery, preventing other sects from blocking her path to survival.

Today, once again, Luohua Nunnery faces a critical moment of life and death.

They thought that this founding senior sister would continue her usual domineering style, but with a powerful enemy, she would step in to suppress her.

However, the results showed the greatest deviation.

The senior sister unanimously supported this man surnamed Su, and agreed to all his demands!
Why is this?

Could it be that this man surnamed Su has really intimidated her?

is it possible?

This senior sister is someone who has attained the Dao Fruit through the Law of Reincarnation. Her current level of mastery is comparable to that of a second-level master!

Even if the four elders protecting the country of the dynasty came in person, it wouldn't be enough to create such a huge deterrent, would it?

Which link went wrong?

They didn't understand these things; in fact, neither Gu Suixin nor Zhang Tao understood them either.

They stayed with Lin Xiaosu the whole time.

They witnessed firsthand how things progressed step by step.

If there's one place they don't quite understand, it's undoubtedly the back mountain.

Lin Xiaosu rose into the air, met with the founding patriarch, and disappeared from their sight.

In that short time, things took a complete 180-degree turn.

The overall attitude of Luohua Nunnery changed drastically, from initially being completely uncooperative to later fully cooperating.

They couldn't guess how Lin Xiaosu had managed to persuade the founder of the sect.

Zhang Tao felt it was inconvenient to ask.

Gu Suixin asked directly, "Senior brother, how exactly did you persuade the founding patriarch?"

Lin Xiaosu didn't hide anything: "This founding patriarch was a close confidante of an old friend of mine."

"A confidante?" Gu Suixin's eyes widened in surprise: "But she... is a nun!"

"The profession of nun is a concept of time. We are nuns now, but we weren't three thousand years ago, and we certainly won't be in the future..."

Gu Suixin scratched her head lightly, looking completely bewildered.

Mad Wolf raised her head, and a smile appeared on her face. She was the only one in the team who knew about this, because he had told her about it while she was on the stomach.

Fu Fu really wanted to pull Brother Su into the cabin so they could celebrate their first time conquering Zhi Zong in their own way. However, Brother Su seemed to be a bit of a gentleman today, managing to restrain himself from such a passionate moment and remain reserved. He preferred to chat with his junior brother on the deck rather than go to the cabin for a celebration.

Unaware of the impending execution, Lin Xiaosu was also deeply moved.

His trip to Jiangnan truly transitioned into its second phase with the capture of Luohua Temple.

The road ahead is vast and boundless.

He really had the passion to flirt with Fufu and then go out with Kuanglang to discuss some work, but he couldn't!
To be precise, he was not very willing.

Because he knew that there was a pair of eyes watching him.

These eyes belong to a cheap mother-in-law.

Does he dare to mess around with other women at this critical juncture?

Autumn in Jiangnan progresses day by day as the Pearl River cools.

The winds of Jiangnan will also propel any major operation Lin Xiaosu undertakes to the Jiangnan region.

West of Moon Lake lies a valley. As the moon rises, its silvery light spills down, giving the entire valley a crystal-like transparency, yet also a distinct chill.

The coldness might be in the moon, the coldness might be in the season, the coldness might be in the atmosphere...

Han Beiliu, the master of Cold Moon Valley, had a cup of tea in front of him that had been cold for a long time. He stared at the tea quietly, his face as somber as winter frost.

Before him stood the Valley's First Elder, Second Elder, and a row of Supreme Elders.

Anyone in this room, if taken out, would be a powerful and influential figure in Jiangnan.

But tonight, they were all completely silent.

Just now, a message arrived that shattered their pride as members of the sect.

Luohua Nunnery, in less than a day, fully accepted Su Lin's conditions!
All those with criminal records from the Ministry of Justice must hand them over.

All the properties in the nunnery were handed over to the government.

The conditions offered to Zhizong were exactly the same as those offered to those six low-class sects in Huzhou, with no preferential treatment whatsoever.

Su Lin has really made a move against the Zhizong Sect!
As one of the eight major sects in Jiangnan, Luohua Nunnery, whose strength is absolutely no less than that of Hanyue Valley, accepted everything without even struggling!

Han Yuegu really wanted to ask, why is this?
The Cold Moon Palace will be sleepless tonight, because it is Su Lin's next target!
"Valley Master!" the First Elder said slowly, "Could you contact Abbess Miaoxin and ask her what her concerns are?"

He didn't say "Master Miaoyu," he said "Master Miaoxin."

As everyone knows, Miaoxin was in charge of this matter, and Miaoyu had no decision-making power whatsoever. Miaoxin almost ruined her.

Miao Xin even said something in public that a sect leader would never dare to say: Disband Luo Hua Nunnery!
Just think about it, what an urgent and unsolvable predicament it must be to force a sect leader to say that he or she is dissolving the sect.

Valley Master Han Beiliu slowly shook his head: "Miaoxin has no contact with the leaders of the various sects in Jiangnan, and I am also unable to contact her."

The Second Elder asked, "Could it really be because of the 'Zhou Tian Formation System' that Su mentioned?"

The Grand Elder shook his head: "The Zhou Tian Array System is beyond imagination. Even if the Ancient Array Sect were to return, setting up the Zhou Tian Array System would not be a matter of a day or two. How could this kid possibly accomplish it? I absolutely do not believe it!"

The Second Elder said, "However, Master Miaoxin was suppressed by him. This kid must have some trump cards. Even the number one cultivator in the Jiangnan region dares not underestimate him."

The Grand Elder was speechless for a long time, then sighed deeply: "A disciple of an ancient sect leading a three-thousand-strong battle team to Jiangnan was considered a joke by many, but now, we have actually..."

"Elder, do not worry!" The seven words drifted in.

Accompanied by a graceful figure under the moonlight.

As soon as the figure entered the room, the moonlight seemed to brighten by a third.

The extremely dull atmosphere thus became peaceful.

"Holy Maiden!" All the elders bowed in unison, including the Grand Elder.

In most sects, the top elders are above the Holy Sons and Holy Daughters and do not need to pay their respects to them. But in Cold Moon Valley, it's different!
Because Han Yan has a dual identity, she is originally the Holy Maiden of Han Yue Valley, and later she was chosen by Tian Du to become the second Holy Maiden among the Twelve Holy Maidens of Tian Du.

The Holy Maiden and top elders of Cold Moon Valley can look at her at eye level or even look down upon her.

However, the Holy Maiden of Tiandu is someone that even the sect leaders of the top sects have to bow to.

If the path of cultivation is one where the strong are respected, then they should pay their respects even more. This is because Han Yan's cultivation has already reached the Dao-Holding Realm, while the Grand Elder is only at the half-step Dao-Holding Realm.

In the entire hall, there were only two people whose cultivation level was equal to hers: Valley Master Han Beiliu and a Supreme Elder Han Dongchuan.

"Yan'er, tell me about the current situation," said Valley Master Han Beiliu.

"Yes! Father's concern is nothing more than the Zhou Tian Formation System. I have already sent a message to Tian Du. If the Zhou Tian Formation System emerges, Tian Du can intervene."

Han Beiliu was overjoyed: "Tiandu is actually willing to help my Cold Moon Valley?"

Han Yan gently shook her head: "Father, please don't misunderstand me. I'm only talking about the Zhou Tian Formation System! If Tian Du makes a move, it will only be for the Zhou Tian Formation System, not for Han Yue Valley."

Everyone looked at each other.

They all understood what she meant.

Tiandu had a grudge against the Ancient Desolate Array Sect back then.

Three hundred giants and one hundred thousand outstanding talents of Tiandu died under the Zhou Tian Killing Array of the Ancient Array Sect. It was a devastating blow to an entire generation. Because of that blow, Tiandu experienced the most serious schism in its history.

Therefore, Tiandu is particularly sensitive to the Zhou Tian Formation System.

Han Beiliu said, "As long as we can restrain this boy's array techniques, what threat can he pose to our valley?"

"Father's words are the truth," Han Yan said. "I will stay at Moon Lake and see if he really dares to cross it!"

The cold smoke dissipated, and the person vanished.

The fall of Luohua Nunnery brought immense pressure to Hanyue Valley, but it vanished with just a few words from Hanyan.

Whether or not Su Lin could actually develop the Zhou Tian Array System was not on their minds.

With the appearance of the Zhou Tian Formation, there were naturally experts from the Heavenly Capital to deal with it.

If the Zhou Tian Formation doesn't appear, how could this army of three thousand lowly soldiers possibly conquer Cold Moon Valley?
This kid might have genuinely frightened Abbess Miaoxin of Luohua Nunnery with his astonishing Zhou Tian Formation system, but that wouldn't frighten Hanyue Valley, because behind Hanyue Valley lies Tiandu.

What kind of place is Tiandu?
The current leader of the three major sects in the world holds a dominant position.

Let alone a junior with some mastery of array formations, even if the Ancient Array Sect were to be resurrected, under Tian Du's rule, they would only be sent to the guillotine once again!
The line of sight travels north along Moon Lake.

It leads directly to Qingqiu.

The Qingqiu Elders' Council is currently in session.

The debate was very heated.

One side is the direct line of the clan leader, represented by Fu Ling, the eldest son of the clan, whose members include the second princess Fu Ya, the fourth princess Fu Yun, the third son Fu Shu, and the seventh son Fu Yun.

The other side was the elder team led by the Grand Elder.

Fu Ling said coldly, "My seventh sister's marriage is, in the end, just a family matter of my Fu clan. It's one thing for the Grand Elder to take control of the Qingqiu clan affairs while my parents were in seclusion, but now he's even trying to control the marriages of my Fu clan. Isn't that overstepping his bounds?"

The First Elder said, “Your words are quite unreasonable. I was personally authorized by the Clan Chief to manage all kinds of affairs in Qingqiu during the Clan Chief’s seclusion, which naturally includes all external affairs of Qingqiu. The Seventh Princess’s marriage was also approved by the Clan Chief long ago. I have done my best to manage it and have never complained. Isn’t it a bit too much for you to criticize me, someone who has worked so hard for the clan?”

Fu Ling said, "Since Father has already given his personal approval for Seventh Sister's marriage, why is the First Elder going back on his word and denying it?"

The elder said, "The person the clan leader agreed to is Li Chengnian of Xihe, but the traitor Su Lin is not Li Chengnian, but the real murderer of Li Chengnian! From the day the marriage agreement was made, Li Chengnian was the son-in-law of Qingqiu. The son-in-law of Qingqiu was murdered by this boy through conspiracy. The entire Qingqiu should be irreconcilably opposed to this boy. How can we continue to make a mistake?"

“Exactly!” the Second Elder said. “Our ancient clan of Qingqiu is not a clan without integrity. How could we possibly accept the murderer of our son-in-law as our son-in-law?”

"I agree with the opinions of the First Elder and the Second Elder. Su Lin, that traitor, is an irreconcilable enemy of Qingqiu!"

In an instant, the elders' team gained a great deal of momentum.

It was elevated to the level of avenging the beloved son-in-law of the clan.

Princess Fuya smiled faintly: "I was originally completely ignorant of clan affairs, but I still vividly remember and deeply agree with the rhetoric the Grand Elder used to persuade my parents. He said that all Qingqiu disciples have a duty to serve Qingqiu, and why not exchange a woman for the strong support of a powerful outside force? Today, Su Lin has become a rising star in the court and enjoys His Majesty's trust. Qingqiu should make the best of a mistake and form a marriage alliance with him. Wouldn't that perfectly demonstrate the Grand Elder's magnanimity back then? But now the Grand Elder has changed. He no longer prioritizes the great cause of Qingqiu, but instead acts impulsively and is firmly bound to a dead man, Li Chengnian. I really doubt whether the Grand Elder truly prioritizes Qingqiu or is wholeheartedly loyal to the Xin Pavilion."

This statement was extremely sharp.

It gets straight to the heart of the matter.

Moreover, it is extremely persuasive.

In the early stages, Qingqiu was single-mindedly focused on arranging a marriage between herself and Li Chengnian of Xin Ge.

The elders' team used the following argument to persuade the people of Qingqiu: Qingqiu needs the support of powerful external forces, and marriage alliances with Xin Ge and the Li family of Xihe would be of great help to Qingqiu.

This idea is undoubtedly profound.

It is also very persuasive.

The Qingqiu clan chief and all the high-ranking members agreed. Although the direct descendants of the clan chief also felt somewhat ashamed, no one had any objections when it came to matters of principle.

Then things took an incredibly unexpected turn.

The person chosen that day, Li Chengnian, betrayed Xin Ge, helped the court, became a rising star, and then regained his true identity. However, it was not Li Chengnian, but another person who came to Qingqiu to ask for marriage that day: Gu Men Su Lin.

Now, the situation has reversed.

The direct descendants of the Qingqiu clan chief, especially several clan members and princesses led by Fu Ling, tended to go with the flow and take Su Lin as their son-in-law.

The reason is exactly the same as that of the Grand Elder on that day: Qingqiu needs external forces. Su Lin is now a rising star in the court and has the background of an ancient sect. More importantly, his poetic and romantic life in Qingqiu on that day has deeply impressed the younger generation.

Why can't we just accept the mistake?
The Grand Elder's side, however, insisted on avenging Li Chengnian, the son-in-law of Qingqiu, and resolutely refused to acknowledge Su Lin as the son-in-law of Qingqiu.

The Second Princess bluntly stated: "Elder, you were so passionate earlier, but now you're acting impulsively. Is this really just acting impulsively? I suspect you've been bribed by the Heart Pavilion. Your starting point isn't the fate of the Qingqiu Clan at all; it's entirely for the Heart Pavilion's Heart Gate!"
The First Elder's face suddenly darkened: "Second Princess, do you still remember the Heavenly Fox Ancestral Instructions?"

Celestial Fox Ancestral Instructions!

This is the ancestral precept of the entire Qingqiu!
Upon hearing this, everyone's hearts sank simultaneously...

The Second Elder stepped forward: "The wind blows eight feet from the Nine Extremes Mountain, the road to the Southern Dynasty is cut off and the water flows eastward. If the soft silk were on the green blade, the coming and going of the clouds would be different. The Heavenly Fox Ancestor sacrificed his entire life to assist a generation of human emperors to ascend the throne, only to end up being abandoned after starting a relationship. The Ancestor left behind the words that the Qingqiu clan should only walk the path of cultivation and never step into the gates of officialdom. Now, all of you clan members and princesses are fawning over officials. Have you all forgotten the ancestral teachings?"

With these words, they once again occupied the moral high ground.

You accused me of colluding with your cronies, and I retorted by accusing you of violating the teachings of our ancestors.

Fu Ling and Fu Ya looked at each other, both feeling helpless.

The Qingqiu clan has a politically correct concept called: ancestral precepts.

When it comes to matters concerning ancestral precepts, later generations really cannot criticize them.

Who can blame the First Human Emperor for failing to live up to the expectations of the Celestial Fox Ancestor?
Suddenly, a figure appeared, stepping through the air, and a mysterious aura instantly filled the council hall.

A woman appeared out of nowhere in front of the coffin.

It was none other than the stunningly beautiful Fu Feng.

"Big sister!" Fu Ling exclaimed in surprise.

"Elder sister, you haven't returned to Qingqiu for a hundred years, and today you actually..." Fu Ya was even more surprised.

She and Fufeng were the best of friends, true sisters. Fufeng had been away for a hundred years and had not returned, leaving Fuya feeling very lonely. But today, her eldest sister had actually returned.

Fu Feng's gaze swept over her younger siblings' faces before turning to the First Elder: "I just heard the Second Elder's impassioned speech, saying that in Qingqiu, when choosing a husband, one should not care about the other's official status, but only about their position on the path of cultivation. Is this the common opinion of all the elders?"

The Grand Elder nodded: "That's how it should be!"

Fu Feng said, "Alright, Elder, how about I make a bet with you?"

"A bet?" the elder said in a deep voice.

"Let's bet on Su Lin's cultivation level and see if he can withstand your attack!"

The entire council chamber was completely silent.

The Grand Elder seemed stunned as well: "This one... will make a move?"

"Exactly!"

"No!" Fu Ling cried out, "Elder sister, this is not fair! The Grand Elder is already at the half-step Master Realm, how can he gamble with the cultivation of a junior? If you want to gamble, gamble with any of the second-generation disciples of Qingqiu, let them choose one and fight him."

“Exactly!” Fu Ya said, “I agree with my elder brother’s opinion. Don’t the elders value cultivation? If we compare cultivation, let’s pit our Qingqiu’s top second-generation disciple against him. If no one can defeat him, then his position on the path of cultivation is clearly worthy of Seventh Sister!”

Fu Feng raised her hand sharply: "Shut up! As the eldest sister, I make the decisions!"

Fu Ling and Fu Ya were terrified and dared not speak again.

The scene froze completely.

After a long silence, the Grand Elder smiled faintly: "Does the Grand Princess's words have the final say?"

“We can establish a Celestial Fox Contract!” Fu Feng said.

Celestial Fox Contract!

The most important contract within Qingqiu.

Once betrayed, one can never return to Qingqiu.

The elders' expressions hardened, and the First Elder slowly said, "It seems the Princess is serious. May I ask what she is betting on?"

Fu Feng said, "If the Grand Elder wins, I, Fu Feng, will lead all the brothers and sisters present to leave the Qingqiu Fox Register, and Qingqiu will be at your disposal. If the Grand Elder loses, please lead all the elders present to leave the Qingqiu Fox Register and never interfere in Qingqiu's affairs again!"

The entire room fell silent once again.

Everyone's heart was pounding.

The Grand Elder let out a soft sigh: "The eldest princess has a lot of confidence in this Su Lin. May I ask what gives you that confidence?"

"Just tell me whether you'll answer or not!"

The Grand Elder slowly raised his gaze and looked directly at the sky.

The Second Elder spoke up: "The First Princess said that if Su Lin is not killed after the first strike, it will be considered that the First Elder has failed?"

Fu Feng said, "If the Grand Elder really lacks confidence, we might as well make a change. You and Su Lin can have a fair fight, with no limit on the number of moves, and the final result will determine the winner!"

The elder suddenly lowered his head, his sharp eyes fixed firmly on Fufeng.

The younger siblings behind Fufeng also stared at her in disbelief.

A fair fight, with no restrictions on tactics.

Such a gamble...

But it happened to the Grand Elder and Su Lin, a junior.
Is this possible? (End of Chapter)
