A Journey Through the Martial World After Transforming into a Loli

The white-haired girl scoffed at Lin Xueyi's words, "Besides, I've already eaten. You're the one who hasn't eaten."

Holding her breath, Lin Xueyi felt she would be doing herself a disservice if she didn't beat this guy to death. She gathered her energy in her hands, but the next second she saw the shop assistant and manager hiding under the counter, and her heart softened. However, the person opposite her did not stop because of Lin Xueyi's hesitation.

The white-haired loli formed claws with both hands and shot out with the force of thunder and the power of a rainbow. She had already attacked Lin Xueyi several times, but all of them were narrowly dodged by her.

"Little girl, why are you afraid to fight? Is it because of those ants? Until you become a Grandmaster, you are just an ant. You're putting yourself in danger for a few ants. Your cultivation is still not up to par."

The continuous attacks made the white-haired girl extremely annoyed. Unable to break through her defenses, she thought of another way to attack: she kept harassing the little girl with words, distracting her and causing her to finally fall to her own hand.

As for being upright and honorable, once we've won her over, what does it matter whether it's upright or not? In the martial world, only the victor becomes king.

"You talk too much nonsense." Lin Xueyi gradually lost her patience, her small mouth pouting and her eyes full of impatience. She had already tested him, and now it was time for her to retaliate.

"Haotian Reincarnation Palm".

As if she had gathered enough energy, the white-haired loli unleashed a burst of power, simultaneously using her strongest attack, her palms seemingly forming a self-contained cycle, as she struck towards Lin Xueyi.

Faced with this fierce attack, Lin Xueyi showed no fear whatsoever. Instead, a smug sneer appeared on her face. Did she really think she was going to go head-to-head with her?

"Your attack is my attack, the universe is vast, oh no, I mean the stars shift and the heavens move."

Almost using the wrong skill, Lin Xueyi quickly reversed the flow of her cultivation. When the four palms met, the expected explosion did not occur.

The moment they exchanged palm strikes, the white-haired loli sensed something was wrong. This was completely different from what she had imagined. She felt as if the internal energy she was channeling through her palms had encountered a bottomless pit, failing to achieve any of the effects she had anticipated.

Just as she thought she was about to use her inner energy to burst this bottomless pit, she suddenly felt an even more violent impact erupt from Lin Xueyi's body. This time, it wasn't Lin Xueyi hitting her, but Lin Xueyi hitting her face.

Caught off guard, she quickly retreated, a hint of crimson stain already spilling from the corner of her lips before she could even regain her footing.

"Little girl, it seems I underestimated you. No wonder you are considered the greatest enemy by those people."

Wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth, the white-haired loli took one last look at the young girl.

"Remember my name, Hades—Gong Ye Rong, this is the one who will defeat you in the future."

As soon as she finished speaking, the white-haired loli flashed and disappeared from everyone's sight, leaving Lin Xueyi lost in thought, staring in the direction she had left.

"Gong Yerong, she really is a terrifying person."

Her slightly trembling hands told her that her victory had not come easily.

Main text: Chapter 190 Lin Xuerong, unable to contain herself

The night in Zhongzhou is not beautiful tonight. Dark clouds gradually obscure the originally bright moon. Inside the Holy Dragon Palace, which should be peaceful, some people cannot find peace.

"What is all this? Are you all dead? You've put Xueyi in so much danger. And that Zhao Yumo, does he even know what he looks like? How dare he lay his hands on Xueyi?"

Lin Xuerong knew from the intelligence that Zhao Yumo had been tricked by Lin Xueyi, but the thought of Lin Xueyi calling that hateful man "brother" in her childish voice gave her an urge to kill.

"No, you, you all, you have to desecrate that grave of Zhao Yumo! I want to grind that man to dust!"

The subordinate standing below, who was delivering the intelligence to his palace master, was completely oblivious to his master's furious outburst.

"I'm so angry! And I want to ask, what's going on with this Carefree City? Why did that girl go there? Don't you know about the demon that's been suppressed there?"

Actually, the people who were most angry were the women who suddenly appeared around the young lady, and the woman named Ruoxue whom she had been longing for. However, her own palace master would definitely not make it so clear. She knew her own palace master's awkward personality all too well.

“Palace Master, Xiaoyao City is not that dangerous. The Underworld Emperor is not so easily released. Moreover, it is said that there is a strange pressure there that makes it difficult for people to circulate their internal energy.”

"Hmph, I know it's difficult for the Underworld Emperor to be rescued, but who knows if there are any madmen like that? Besides, if Xueyi goes to Xiaoyao City, she will definitely cause trouble for Luo Jiushang. That would be an even bigger problem. I'm worried that Xueyi will suffer."

Luo Jiushang has a good relationship with Buddhism. If Xueyi really has a conflict with Buddhism, given the hypocrisy of those bald monks, Xueyi will really suffer.

"No, I can't wait any longer. Let's get ready and go to Qingzhou right away to bring Xueyi back."

As expected, the Palace Master really couldn't wait for the young lady to return this time. But it's not the Palace Master's fault. The young lady had no intention of going home at all along the way. On the contrary, she was having more and more fun outside, and things were getting bigger and bigger.

"Palace Master, we're about to..."

"No, we can't wait any longer. Xueyi doesn't want to go home yet. If we let her wander around outside any longer, I'm worried she won't come home at all."

Those alluring young women... they're constantly tempting their little girl. She doesn't know which one of them is so reckless as to have corrupted Xiaoxue with their ways. It's infuriating!

One by one, Ruoxue, Ye Qin'er, Lin Xiaoling, and so on... all surrounded Xueyi. The little girl who used to follow behind her and call her "sister" in her childish voice was now reluctant to go home. How could she not be angry? How could she not be furious?

She angrily slammed the thick stack of intelligence to the ground, not caring at all. She just felt a little pain in her chest.

She sighed softly. Her master was here again. He was always happy before reading the intelligence, but he would get angry while reading it, and then he would have a small outburst after reading it.

“Palace Master, if you really want to bring the young lady back, I will immediately order the guards to bring her back.”

Hearing her subordinate's words, Lin Xuerong was instantly stunned. Bringing Xueyi back was fine, but would she laugh at her for being impatient if she actually brought her back? This...

"Wait...wait a minute, who said they were bringing her back? That brat only knows how to play outside, she's too precious to come back, why would I bring her back? Wouldn't it be better to let her reflect on her actions outside?"

The problem is, is the young lady reflecting on her actions? She was clearly having a great time outside. However, the palace master's eccentric behavior is nothing new. The palace master, who is usually decisive and efficient in everything she does, becomes a completely different person when it comes to the young lady, with all sorts of bizarre actions that leave people bewildered.

"What's with that expression? Why are you sighing? Tell me yourself."

"Palace Master, I dare not. I am just a little worried about our Holy Dragon Palace's recent battle with the Dragon Slaying Gang."

This is a way to give their palace master a way out, so she doesn't get so angry that she has a mental breakdown. Besides, the Dragon Slaying Gang is a newly discovered enemy of theirs. It is said that when the young lady encountered danger while out, it was the Dragon Slaying Gang who caused it.

Originally, the Palace Master wanted to take action personally, but it is said that the Dragon Slaying Gang is actively contacting the Netherworld Ghost Valley in the East Sea. They are worried that if the two forces really form an alliance, the Valley Master of the Netherworld Ghost Valley and the leader of the Dragon Slaying Gang will join forces and pose a threat to the Palace Master.

"Hmph, just a lousy Dragon Slaying Gang. If it weren't for the people from the Netherworld Ghost Valley causing trouble, I would have wiped them all out long ago."

Mentioning the Dragon Slayer Gang infuriated Lin Xuerong even more. It wasn't just that they were opposing the Holy Dragon Palace, but more importantly, they discovered that they were involved when Lin Xueyi escaped from the palace, and even later engaged in actions detrimental to Lin Xueyi. Fortunately, Xueyi was not seriously harmed; otherwise, she would have destroyed the Dragon Slayer Gang even if it meant risking the entire Holy Dragon Palace.

Having recovered from the information about Lin Xueyi, Lin Xuerong calmed down and sat back down in her seat. "I know what you mean. We should deal with the Dragon Slaying Gang first. Besides, we haven't found the traitor who helped the Dragon Slaying Gang lure Xueyi out of the palace. Xueyi's return would be even more dangerous."

"Your Majesty is wise."

With a wry smile, Lin Xuerong shook her head and waved her hand at her subordinate, "It's not a wise move at all. If it were truly wise, Xueyi wouldn't be suffering alone outside. Tell them to keep a close eye on her and make sure Xueyi isn't in any danger."

Fortunately, news of the white-haired loli Underworld Emperor Gong Ye Rong's rescue did not reach them, but news of the Netherworld Ghost Valley's subordinates protecting Lin Xueyi did, otherwise this Palace Master would have really exploded.

Meanwhile, in Qingzhou, the little girl looked at the bright full moon outside and sighed in her heart. She had been in this world for quite some time, and the New Year would be here in a few months. She wondered if she would be able to find her family this year so that she could celebrate the New Year with them, and if she could find Ruoxue so that she could spend her first New Year in this world with Ruoxue.

Main Text: Chapter 191 The Buddhist Sect's Actions (Two chapters published together)

With morning bells and evening drums amidst auspicious clouds, and ancient temples nestled amidst verdant bamboo and pines, Yunxiao Mountain, shrouded in mist and clouds, is exceptionally lively today. This time of day is usually when Lingshan Temple holds its morning prayers, but now guests are arriving one after another.

"Abbot Tiancong, it's been a long time. I am truly flattered that you are here today. Please come in. All my fellow disciples are already meditating in the main hall."

"Oh? I didn't expect I'd be late. My apologies. After receiving my junior brother's message, I handed over the temple's affairs to Junior Brother Tianming and rushed here overnight, but I'm still a step too late."

The abbot of Lingjiu Temple, who was called Tiancong, explained to the side with a warm expression before walking into the main hall under the guidance of Master Zhichan.

"Senior brother, you're too kind. We're already very grateful that you came here. How could I possibly blame you?"

As Zhi Chan led the way, he laughed and said that since returning from Luo Xie City, he had written to various Buddhist forces. Although he admitted that Feng Linyang had indeed done evil things, he believed that as long as Feng Linyang had remorse and could repent, why couldn't he be forgiven? The Buddha said that one can become a Buddha by laying down the butcher's knife. However, this newly promoted grandmaster is so tyrannical, which is not a blessing for the martial arts world.

Therefore, he felt it necessary to bring Lin Xueyi back to the temple and have her eat vegetarian food and chant Buddhist scriptures for several years to cleanse her of her violent tendencies, so that the martial arts world could return to peace.

To be honest, he did have the thought of killing the Grandmaster, but after all, she was an enlightened master, and he would not do such a thing. After careful consideration, he decided to use Buddhist principles to dispel the tyranny in Lin Xueyi's heart, so that he could bring blessings to all living beings.

"I heard that Junior Brother had previously encountered the newly promoted Grandmaster Lin Xueyi, and this time he invited everyone here for this very reason. I wonder if Junior Brother has seen through something about Grandmaster Lin Xueyi."

Before arriving, Abbot Tiancong had heard some rumors, but none of them were from the person involved, so he didn't believe them. However, since he had met Zhichan, he naturally wanted to verify them.

This wasn't the first time someone had asked this question; almost everyone who came asked the same thing. He was used to it and recounted what had happened without any personal feelings, while also expressing his worries.

Upon hearing this, Tian Cong pondered for a moment. “This Feng Tianyang is so unruly, no, he is utterly wicked. Although Master Lin’s handling of the matter was somewhat inappropriate, I don’t think it’s necessary for our Buddhist sect to take unified action.”

"Senior brother, have you heard that Lin Xueyi, in order to eliminate any future threats, led a group to Xiaoyao City and directly killed Feng Kenan and his father-in-law, Luo Jiushang, the city lord of Xiaoyao City, and that the Zhaoyuan Escort Agency and Luo Jiushang's family were also brutally wiped out afterward?"

Upon hearing this, Abbot Tiancong frowned. He had only heard about Luoxie City before, and had not heard of Xiaoyao City. He hadn't expected that Luo Jiushang, the Benefactor, had also been murdered.

“Senior brother, it’s not that I’m being aggressive, but Lin Xueyi has really gone too far in killing people. In order to eliminate any future threats, she not only wiped out the Zhaoyuan Escort Agency, but also the Luo family in Xiaoyao City. Now she has taken over all of the Luo family’s businesses in Xiaoyao City. Except for not being the city lord, she has taken everything else into her own hands.”

Hearing this, Tiancong, the host, also felt that Lin Xueyi was being too fierce and tyrannical. However, these were just rumors circulating outside, and it was still unknown whether they were true.

"Could it be that Senior Brother doesn't believe me?"

Seeing that Tian Cong, though displeased, was not as indignant as he had imagined, Master Zhi Chan had some reservations. Although he had only heard it from others, in this Xiaoyao City, besides Lin Xueyi, who else could wipe out the Luo family and Zhaoyuan Escort Agency in less than half a day?

“Senior brother, it’s not that I’m deliberately trying to smear Lin Xueyi, but this time she really went too far. I also sent people to Xiaoyao City to investigate. It is said that on that day, the Luo family and Zhaoyuan Escort Agency, along with the old people and children, were all killed. Outside the door, Lin Xueyi received a large amount of treasure from her own people. These were all witnessed by the people of Xiaoyao City.”

"So that's how it is. It seems that Lin Xueyi is indeed a suspect. Alright, let's not talk about that for now. We're already in the lobby, so let's hear everyone's opinions."

Upon entering the main hall, Abbot Tiancong greeted his fellow disciples, whom he knew well from his travels and training.

"Uncle Tiancong, it's been a long time. I didn't expect you to still be so healthy."

A slightly younger, but still middle-aged, monk bowed to Abbot Tiancong with his hands clasped together, only to hear Abbot Tiancong's surprised voice reach his ears.

"Ha, Huiming, I didn't expect it to be you who came today."

Clearly, Tiancong was very familiar with Huiming, and indeed he was. When he was traveling, he stayed at Youlongshan Temple, where Huiming lived, for half a year in order to discuss Taoism with Huiming's master, Master Daoyan. He benefited greatly from that time.

However, after seeing Huiming arrive, he understood what Master Daoyan meant. It seemed that not only he had objections to this operation, but even Master Daoyan felt that the operation was too hasty.

That's a Grandmaster-level expert. Although the Buddhist sect isn't afraid of Grandmasters, there's no need to make an enemy of one for the sake of a mere Zhaoyuan Escort Agency.

Moreover, although what that grandmaster did this time was a bit excessive, it wasn't entirely incomprehensible. Surely a grandmaster who hates evil as if it were his enemy couldn't deter some petty villains in the martial arts world?

However, if, as Zhi Chan later said, this grandmaster really took action and wiped out the Zhaoyuan Escort Agency, and even caused the Luo family of Luo Jiushang to suffer the same fate, then there is something to say.

However, he also had his own ideas. He would first see what the other temples said before making a decision. As for Huiming, the boy was intelligent from a young age and naturally understood his master's meaning. Judging from his appearance, he also wanted to see the opinions of the other temples before making a decision.

Seeing that many of his senior brothers had arrived, Zhi Chan stopped being polite and directly expressed his thoughts. Lin Xueyi's actions had reached an outrageous level: murder, annihilation of entire families, eradication of all evil, and ruthless destruction. If such a master were to enter the martial arts world, what a bloody storm she would unleash.

"Fellow disciples, although we Buddhists renounce the world and cultivate ourselves, and are detached from worldly desires, it is still our Buddhist disciples' duty to subdue demons and protect the righteous path."

“Master Zhichan is right, but Lin Xueyi is, after all, a grandmaster. If we go…”

That's true. He's a grandmaster, and what are you? If we went over there, we'd be nothing but a bunch of noobs. They're aware of that. Putting everything else aside, just the difference in cultivation level alone is enough for him to disregard us.

“Fellow disciples, I think we shouldn’t be so self-deprecating. Besides, this matter is not just about us. I have already sent a message to my senior uncle Xuanzong in Yuanzhou. I’m sure he will come here as well.”

Upon hearing that Master Xuanzong was coming, everyone was astonished. They never expected that Zhichan would be able to have contact with Master Xuanzong, or more accurately, Master Xuanzong's senior brother.

If the righteous sects in Zhongzhou mostly follow the lead of the Holy Dragon Palace, then in Yuanzhou, Buddhism is the most powerful force, especially Master Xuanzong, who is also a Grandmaster-level expert and is known as the second-best expert in the world, second only to Sword Immortal Li Qinglian. Presumably, he also feels that this Grandmaster Lin has indeed gone too far this time.

"Master Xuanzong, could it be that Master Xuanzong who continued the lineage and spread the Dharma far and wide, whose name shines like a lotus lamp for all eternity?"

Among them were some people from smaller sects who found it hard to believe that this Master Xuanzong was here. They had only heard about this Buddhist master from their elders or from rumors in the martial arts world, and they never expected to see such a legendary figure in person.

In response to these questions, Zhi Chan nodded before speaking, “It is indeed that Master Xuanzong. However, he is currently in Yuanzhou and cannot come over for the time being. That’s why I invited everyone here in advance to first discuss how to treat this master, and secondly, to wait and welcome Master Xuanzong’s arrival together.”

Seeing Zhi Chan's words, everyone nodded in agreement. After all, he was a grandmaster of Buddhism. Although they all had status, in his eyes, such status was dispensable. If it weren't for the fact that they were all disciples of Buddhism, he probably wouldn't even give them a second glance.
