Advance the future and become a martial saint on earth!

Chapter 202 The vast True Sect, having paid homage to the Daoist Master, was sincerely convinced and wanted to cross the interdimensional gate to see the appearance of the heretics!

The three chief ministers of the Dragon and Elephant Clan!?

Seeing the massive hammer, imbued with true energy, shatter the plaque above the hall with a single blow, Ji Xiu immediately raised his eyes and looked at the three figures standing in front of him, slightly taken aback.

These are the three leaders of the clan that Master Xu Longxiang mentioned before, who dominate the three prefectures.
Xu Longxiang's previous words prompted Jiang Yue, the true disciple, to travel a great distance to Longxiang True Sect, and these three to come and pay their respects to him, the "Daoist disciple," without stopping.

Ji Xiu had some concerns, wondering if this powerful martial artist who led a lineage would be unhappy about being summoned and dismissed so easily, and would deliberately make things difficult for him.

After all, if he hadn't suddenly appeared and intervened, he would never have gained the appreciation and recognition of the Dragon Elephant Martial Saint and obtained this high position, relying solely on his connection with 'Ip Man Kong'.

Without paying homage to the true lineage, joining the inner circle, or receiving the true teachings, he ascended to heaven in one step.

Let alone the head of a lineage or a regional leader, even ordinary disciples would probably feel resentful.

But Ji Xiu hadn't expected this.
Even when facing the patriarch or sect leader of a noble family or a true sect, or even the Martial Saint, one of the most illustrious of the 'Six Clans and Five Orthodox Lineages' in Cangdu, personally arrived.

These three were able to withstand the pressure and stand in front of him!

Ji Xiu originally thought that this 'Great Forbiddenness' was probably unstoppable.

After all, given his connections within the prefectural city, if he were to eliminate his master, Xu Longxiang, then he would only have Xie Fuyao, Xiao Mingli, and his grandmaster Wang Xuanyang, whose condition was extremely unstable.

Although Xiao Mingli favored him, Ji Xiu did not think that this alone was enough to bring up the 'Marquis of Beicang' Xiao Pingnan, since he had never met him before.

Perhaps by using Xiao Mingli's connections to seek a promotion from this Marquis, there might be a chance, but expecting someone of that caliber to stop the Three Martial Saints and come to Xu Longxiang's aid seems unlikely.

As for Xie Fuyao's master's wife, although she has a powerful background and a prestigious position, she is ultimately unrelated to Xu Longxiang. Even if she can keep these three in check, she probably won't be able to achieve anything.

At most, he brought it out to maintain order and let himself express his true feelings so that these three martial saints wouldn't hold a grudge and settle scores with him.

As for Grandmaster Wang Xuanyang.
I reckon he's still on Jin'ao Island, probably in a daze. The so-called complete version of the 'Great Five Decays Heavenly Blade' and the 'Reincarnation Heavenly Art' are nowhere to be seen, so it's even less likely we can count on them.

Full calculation.

Ji Xiu figured he didn't have any extra cards to play.

Unexpectedly, just when you thought there was no way out, a new path opened up before you!
Among the three chief disciples of the Dragon and Elephant Sect, the short and thin Shen Gang, who was closest to Ji Xiu's left and whose eyes were sharp as an eagle's and radiated a brilliant light, suddenly turned his head:
“Daozi, we three old folks heard what you just said.”

"I am Shen Gang, the third leader of the Dragon Elephant True Sect. Jiang Yue, the true disciple who had a conflict with you before, was trained by me."

“That brat is blind and offended you and the patriarch. Once this matter is over, I will make him ‘plead guilty’ for you!”

"Now, Daozi, please step back."

Shen Gang turned his head slightly and spoke quietly.

Gao Zheng, the patriarch of the Danshan Gao Clan, Ning Buyu, the master of the Tianshui Sword Sect, and Qin Shouhu, the martial saint of the Qin Clan, one of the six clans of Cangdu, all frowned at this moment.

among them.

Behind Qin Shouhu, there was a 'fierce white tiger', which implied the omen of the Seven Killings in his destiny. Its faint appearance caused the atmosphere in the entire county government office to sink.

Behind Gao Zheng and Ning Buyu, one person has an ancient bronze cauldron, while the other has a drawn divine sword that exudes a chilling sharpness.

Although not as powerful as Qin Shouhu, if he were to break free with all his might, he could probably affect a large part of Anning County!
The True Meaning of the Martial Saint!

"If the Dragon Elephant True Sect only has one 'pseudo-Martial Saint'..."

"I'm afraid it won't be able to suppress the two 'boundary gates'."

Qin Shouhu spoke in a calm and indifferent tone, stating a fact in a straightforward manner.

"Now that the Dragon Elephant Martial Saint has fallen, if you were to return to your sect and succeed him, with your martial arts prowess, you would be a true sect master, commanding respect and prestige."

"But if we insist on going our own way and insist on guarding this 'Anning County boundary gate'..."

"Then, according to the rules..."

"The foundation of the entire 'Dragon Elephant True Sect' should be transferred to another sect to oversee and repair the Great Forbidden Zone in order to prevent any changes at the Boundary Gate."

What you say makes some sense.

"However."

"The Dragon Elephant True Sect has been established for a hundred years, which is why it now dominates the three prefectures. Many disciples in the prefectures consider it an honor to join its ranks."

"Are you truly willing to give this up?"

Upon hearing this, Tuoba Yue, carrying the Shattering Mountain Spirit Hammer, stepped forward and grinned:
"Qin Wusheng, first of all, my lineage's ancestor's 'Soul Lamp' is at its zenith, how could it have fallen?"

"Secondly, the Dragon Elephant True Sect exists only because of his presence!"

"Even if he goes into seclusion for sixty years, as long as he doesn't perish, the three of us will take care of things for him."

"Now that he has entered the 'Gate of Peace and Tranquility,' if he insists on an answer from us, then what is wrong with the Dragon Elephant True Sect relocating its century-old foundation to Anning County in Jiangyin Prefecture?"

"No matter how vast the world is, it must have a solid foundation."

“If the foundation is there, where in the world is not home? What’s more, it’s just a mere site of the True Sect.”

boom!
Tuoba Yue slung the hammer over his shoulder, his eyes looking downcast, his hair disheveled, and his words and laughter were unrestrained and bold, dismissing the so-called 'century of true lineage' in a single sentence.

Upon hearing this, Ji Xiu was deeply moved.

He had witnessed the infighting and backstabbing within the capital city. Every family and faction that had made a name for itself was riddled with factions and intricately intertwined.
According to Xiao Mingli's account, even Tianzhu was not immune to this trend; in fact, it only intensified. Only when things settled down completely and everyone was united against external forces could they work together to uphold the sect's rules.

At other times, they fight tooth and nail for a slight advantage, even to the point of being willing to fight to the death.

"You don't think about yourselves because you have reached the limit of the Dragon and Tiger, and some of you have even reached the level of pseudo-Martial Saint."

"But what about your disciples, your true disciples, who have the potential to cultivate?

Qin Shouhu frowned, recalling a certain secret circulating in Cangdu, especially the time when 'Xu Longxiang' was still alive. He felt a little more apprehensive, so he remained patient.

However----

Outside the county government office, as he finished speaking, a cacophony of voices arose!

"The master must establish the lineage in a certain place, and the apprentice should naturally follow suit." A clear female voice came from outside, through the door of the county government office.

Just as Ji Xiu turned his head...

However, they saw several young men and women dressed in the robes of the Dragon and Elephant Sect waiting outside.

Each one of them was radiant and possessed a magnificent aura, unlike ordinary people.

Among them was Jiang Yue, who had met Ji Xiu before.

This true disciple of the Dragon Elephant Sect was cautious and timid in front of his master, but outside, he is a genuine master of Qi cultivation and a young prodigy!
At the very front, the woman had bright eyes and white teeth, a deep and resolute gaze, and a slender figure, yet she exuded the aura of a 'master of a school'!

"That is the disciple personally taught by the Grand Master Tuoba Yue, and also the most outstanding person in the three generations of the Dragon Elephant True Sect."

"Named 'Xu Youwei,' she has condensed the four limits and forged a 'Martial Arts Treasure Body,' making her a top figure even within a prefecture!"

Shen Gang, the third chief, was giving a telepathic introduction in his ear.

Ji Xiu never expected that this towering figure with sparse, wild hair could teach such a disciple, whose demeanor and temperament were quite different from his.

She seemed to have noticed Ji Xiu's expression.

The second-in-command, Zheng Luo, also quietly transmitted his voice:

"Daozi, don't underestimate our sect's prodigy just because of his appearance."

“Youwei has expanded his four limits and fully inherited his senior brother’s true teachings. Every inch of his great tendons and jade bones contains the power of the ‘Dragon and Elephant’. Turning down a willow tree is nothing to him.”

“In the entire ‘Dragon Elephant True Sect,’ strength is revered. Only those who can condense the power of ‘Nine Dragons and Nine Elephants’ can be considered to have received the true teachings of the patriarch. Among the younger generation, she is the only one who can condense the power of the dragon and the elephant.”

Qin Shouhu was silent for a moment:
"You've mobilized all the elite forces of your 'Dragon Elephant True Sect,' are you really planning to move?"

"What about the 'gateway' that was suppressed in the Dragon Elephant Cave?"

"If a 'demon' is born, wreaking havoc on all living beings, corrupting martial artists with the abyssal energy, causing them to fall into depravity, and leading humanity to ruin, can you bear this debt?"

Tuoba Yue did not look to the side:
"Before I came here, I had already entrusted my business to other old friends and promised them a reward. You need not worry about the details."

Impervious to oil and salt, and completely watertight!
Such a reckless relocation of an entire clan is simply unheard of and unseen!

Even with Qin Shouhu's composure, he was on the verge of losing his composure.

After a moment of silence, Gao Zheng and Ning Buyu stood up from their chairs, their auras growing increasingly intense, as if they were about to start a major conflict!
"The Danshan Gao Clan and the Tianshui Sword Sect have received orders from Cangdu to suppress the Anning County border gate. It should be our two sects!"

"Even if you intend to relocate your entire clan, you must first consult the two of us!"

The martial saint's true intent merged with their physical bodies, and their eyes shone brightly, as if they were about to fight before the matter of the boundary gate was resolved. In an instant, the situation became extremely tense.

Tuoba Yue swung his hammer.

Even though Zheng Luo and Shen Gang were not at the level of pseudo-Martial Saints, they stopped chatting with Ji Xiu at this moment, and it seemed that the dragon-tiger qi they had been nurturing in their dantian was about to roar out.
Qin Shouhu spoke up:

"This matter should be reported to Cangdu for now, and the feudal lords' court should make a decision."

"As for now."

He looked at Tuoba Yue:

"If the Dragon Elephant True Sect insists on seeking the 'Dragon Elephant Martial Saint,' we will not stop them."

"But you should also be aware of the consequences."

"The Central Yellow Heaven has eight hundred divine palaces, and there are also eight departments of the Zhou Tian, ​​which are vast and boundless. It has been through the Great Xuan for hundreds of years. A martial saint once risked his life to sneak in and measure it with his own two feet. He walked for more than ten years and only wandered around a small part of it. Its foundation is very profound."

"If you go in, your life or death will be irrelevant."

"The peak of the seventh realm, such as the Dragon Elephant Martial Saint, is only one step away from becoming a 'giant'."

"Even he has disappeared without a trace, so you should all know what's going on."

Qin Shouhu said calmly.

"Then there's no need for you all to trouble yourselves."

Having received the answer he wanted, Tuoba Yue turned and stepped out the door without hesitation.

Seeing this, Ji Xiu followed him out.

Once you step out the door.

Tuoba Yue turned around and glanced at him:
“Daozi, the Gate of Realms is dangerous. Our patriarch is trapped inside and we don’t know the situation. We three old folks plan to sneak in and find out the truth.”

"Xu Youwei and Jiang Yue are both outstanding disciples and masters of Qi Sea. They will stay in Anning County for the time being to serve as your guards."

"how?"

Tuoba Yue meant well.

After all, to infiltrate the Central Yellow Heaven without being exposed by the divine net, one must at least possess "high-level Taoist skills" and the ability to open up the Purple Mansion to conceal oneself.

Their Daoist disciple is only at the level of opening the three limits; it would be too dangerous for him to step into it rashly.

But Ji Xiu shook his head.

"My master passed on to me the 'True Martial World-Suppressing Demon-Subduing Mysterious Skill,' and I am protected by the Martial Saint plaque, blessed by the Dragon Blood Jade Pendant, and have also become a Purple Mansion, so I am safe and sound."

"There's no point in staying here. It would be better to step into the boundary gate with the three chief masters, see what the divine realm looks like, and use it as a foundation to forge my ability to break through the 'Peak Qi Sea' and welcome my master back!"

Now, he is more than halfway to becoming a 'master of Qi cultivation'.

If one can step into the 'Gate of Boundaries', perhaps upon returning, one can condense one's Qi Sea in one fell swoop and break through the shackles!

The atmosphere within the Dragon Elephant True Sect was so pleasant that Ji Xiu naturally felt a sense of belonging.

Having cultivated to the Great Dao Purple Mansion, he was already able to conceal his aura, and with various means of protection, how could he not take risks in order to advance?

It's done!

What Ji Xiu was thinking was naturally unknown to others.

Therefore, upon hearing that he was about to venture into the perilous realm, the true disciples couldn't help but show solemn respect.

No wonder he was personally recognized by the patriarch as the 'Dragon Elephant Dao Child'!
If such a person goes to inherit the secret treasure, he will be taught the "Nine Dragons and Nine Elephants Suppressing Prison Technique," which unifies the three lineages.
They accepted it!

"We pay our respects to the Daoist Master!"

For a time, even though he was a little older, he was a top disciple whose realm surpassed that of Ji Xiu.

Because of Ji Xiu's awareness today that he faced the Martial Saint directly and regarded dangers as flat ground, I couldn't help but be sincerely impressed!
Xu Youwei looked at the seventeen-year-old boy, and there was a hint of approval in her beautiful eyes.

Such a person would seize the opportunity to go to 'True Martial Mountain'.
For the time being, I can accept it.

After a long while, the three martial saints in the county government office dismissed everyone, including their own descendants and disciples.

Seeing that there were no other people around.

Gao Zheng and Ning frowned and immediately asked:
"Hunting Tiger Martial Saint, our two lineages made a deal with the Qin Clan to divide Anning County. As long as we set up a great restriction at the 'Boundary Gate,' what does it matter whether that old man is dead or not?"

“As long as he doesn’t come back, even though Tuoba Yue is a pseudo-Martial Saint, he is only one person and his strength is weak. How can he be a match for us?”

Why should we continue to tolerate him like this?

Upon hearing this, Qin Shouhu remained silent, his expression enigmatic.
"If the 'Dragon Elephant Martial Saint' has truly perished, then it's nothing."

"But if he's not dead, we'll deliberately make him die."

"Then something has come up."

He smiled bitterly.

Gao Zheng and Ning Buyu exchanged a glance, their brows furrowing slightly.

Is there some trick to this?

"This Martial Saint has been in seclusion for sixty years; he has no connections or social networks left. Moreover, he was once a discarded disciple of Zhenwu Mountain, which has long earned him the disdain of Tianzhu. He..."

Qin Shouhu shook his head:
"So what if Tianzhu despises you?"

"It's been a hundred years."

“I have never heard of that living fossil of Zhenwu Mountain kicking this disciple out.”

His words were understated:
"With just a flick of a finger from such a 'giant,' you pseudo-martial saints wouldn't be able to withstand even the slightest bit of it."

"So it's best not to get involved."

"but."

“If you really don’t want to end up with nothing, you should find a way yourselves.”

"Therefore, there is no need to come and ask me."

"For example, the 'Boundary Gate' was in turmoil, with a large-scale invasion by divine armor. As a last resort, the Great Barrier had to be temporarily closed to suppress the Boundary Gate. Another example is that the Dragon Elephant Chieftain got lost within it and was unfortunately exposed, leading to a collective attack."

That's your problem.

Upon hearing this, the two men's eyes narrowed, showing considerable apprehension.

Immediately following was a thoughtful expression.

a few days later.

With a sword plaque on his back and a long staff hanging from his waist, Ji Xiu followed the three chief disciples deep into the Earth Dragon Cave, breaking through the thick white fog, avoiding the divine armor and weapons, and gazing at the 'Boundary Gate' where they had once stood.
His eyes revealed a look of inquiry, and then he stepped inside!
And soon after.

A sudden tremor occurred inside the Earth Dragon Cave!
It seemed that a guardian deity, leading divine armor, had received some kind of message and even brought along a divine king and his statue, and was launching a large-scale attack.

therefore,

The Martial Saint Gao Zheng of the Danshan Gao Clan and Ning Buyu, the master of the Tianshui Sword Sect, joined forces to set up a great restriction to completely seal off the 'Earth Dragon Cave' and suppress the boundary gate!

This caused an uproar in Anning County.

at the same time.

Marquis Xiao Pingnan of Beicang happened to lead his personal guards to Anning to oversee the situation.

After arriving and finding out the whole story, he immediately became restless.

These days, his daughter has finally found someone she can look at, and he has been thinking about finding someone for his daughter to rely on in the future for several years.

The more you look at this young man's demeanor, the more you see that he is a person of both talent and character, making him an excellent choice.

Why is it all gone as soon as it arrives?
That won't work!

Simultaneously.

There was also a furtive old man who, through some unknown means, managed to reach Anning as well.
