Beichen Sword Sect's Headmaster's Secret Records

Chapter 222: Guardian Temple

“Ahh! Help! Flower thief!”

"How dare you! In broad daylight! Under the Emperor's feet! How dare you seize a common woman! Stop!"

The thief hunters from the Six Gates flew up to the roof and chased after him on the bricks and tiles.

The masked flower thief in front was also using his light Kung Fu to escape, but the sack on his shoulder was struggling desperately, probably because the abducted woman was suddenly awakened.

So when he saw the thief was catching up, the flower thief simply threw the cloth bag to the ground!

"Bastard!"

The thief had no choice but to give up the thief. He rushed over to grab the bag and untied it. He saw a beautiful young girl with disheveled hair and only a bellyband. She looked panicked. He quickly comforted her,

"Girl, don't be afraid, you are safe..."

"Ah ah!"

The girl screamed as she looked behind her. The captain also heard the wind and the rubble behind his head. He immediately realized that the flower thief was so bold that he dared to come back!
"Gang Fist! Open!"

The thief-catcher roared! He immediately protected the girl behind him, and flexed his muscles! He punched at the...

"Shh!"

Then there was a flash of cold light, and the girl swung her sword, cutting off the thief's head. The thief rolled down from the eaves with his eyes wide open, dying with his eyes open.

Seeing that it was done, Tiedan stopped immediately and squatted on the tiles silently like a cat to comment.
"It seems that you don't have much experience in being kidnapped by flower thieves, and your performance lacks some emotion. Usually, people who are kidnapped by someone are either knocked unconscious or drugged, or their underwear is torn off their mouths, or their jaws are twisted off. How could it be possible for them to scream with such strength?

Hmm, ahhh, just moan twice to get his attention, these thief-catching priests all have inner strength, so there's no need for you to talk too much nonsense."

Jianjia had a cold face, took out the Taoist robe and put it on, covering the bellyband.

"You know this so well, you must have done a lot of dirty things like this! What are you looking at?"

Tiedan suggested,
"It's better to stuff two buns in there, so that others won't think you're a man dressed as a woman and make things worse, and then they'll see through your flaws."

Jianjia was so angry that her teeth were itching.

Seeing that she seemed unwilling, Tiedan shrugged his shoulders. It was just a suggestion anyway. So he dragged the constable's body over, cut it into pieces, damaged the wounds, and then wrote on the body with a sword.

'The murderer is Xiaoyao Supreme.'

Jianjia just watched him operate coldly, then looked at the man and said,
"What's the point of hunting down the thieves from the Six Gates? The Demon Palace has as many of these hawks and dogs as it needs, right?"

Tiedan shook his head and said,

"You're wrong. There aren't many Six Gates offerings to use. In the government office, there are more people eating than working, especially those who are on duty. Killing one less is one less.

If you want to cause trouble in the Demon Palace now, you must first kill the six gates. Even if you can't kill them all, you have to mobilize them to deal with it everywhere, making them run around.

Although this group of people have average combat power, they are specialized in studying how to deal with immortal thieves and are well aware of the abilities of the people in the mountains. With them commanding and planning behind the scenes, they can easily dispatch a battalion of soldiers to surround and kill us.

While the Three Palaces still don't take us seriously, we should get rid of these imperial spies. The Demon Palace will be a deaf and blind giant, and there will be nothing to be afraid of."

Yes, if you want to stir the water, you have to do it little by little. "Plop!" A stone is thrown down, and it sinks to the bottom with a loud noise, without making many waves. So you have to do it slowly at first and then quickly, from shallow to deep, and follow the trend, so that you can stir up the rivers and seas and create whirlpools and waves.

Therefore, Tiedan's plan was to first destroy the Six Gates, or more precisely, to destroy the group of people like the Supreme Court Justice and the Left Supervisor who were on the scene and doing hard labor.

Although the thieves caught by the left supervisor of the Supreme Court are all at the Nascent Soul stage, most of them are frontier soldiers and casual cultivators. The cost of living in the Three Yuan Imperial Capital is so high, with numerous government offices and numerous jobs above their heads, and royal relatives can be seen everywhere. Good things are not available to them, and they have endless dirty work to do.

Therefore, all those who have the ability earn the travel allowance, no, they travel around the world, arresting immortal thieves and hunting down bandits. The rest can only live in the capital, where can they earn many real magic weapon secrets? They just fight with one hand and wait for support after a set of fighting.

However, how many of the Sword Sect's disciples, who are at the Golden Core Realm and have inherited the true teachings of the Xuan Sect, and who are carrying rare treasures and holding sharp blades, and who are also plotting against them, can escape the joint assassination of Jianjia and Tiedan?
You can fight, you definitely can fight.

Tiedan’s plan was simple, which was to steal first, pick flowers, and then assassinate.

In short, the territory of Sili is not full of palaces and cities. Most of the rural areas there are fortresses, manors, royal villas, and assets of royal families and noble lords.

So don't make too much noise when you go there, or you'll alert the immortal army and the guards, who won't be able to defeat you. Just find a luxurious manor to sneak into, steal some gold, silver, and jewelry, deliberately trigger the spells, and then wait for the thieves to come and check.

Then he openly pretended to be a flower thief, carrying the reed and wandering through their spiritual awareness range. When people caught up with him, he attacked him from front and back, killed him with one sword, and chopped him into pieces.

What? Why would a Yuanying master like Zuo Jian, who had been in the martial arts world for many years, fall into the trap?
Haha, this is called a willing bait.

To put it nicely, the Six Gates obey orders, and once you are in the world, you have no choice.

But to put it bluntly, in the final analysis, they crawled over there on their own and were willing to be the slaves of the Demon Palace, no, the dogs of the Demon Palace.

When Huo Tongshan slaughtered officials and wealthy families at random, Tiedan found two serious thief catchers who arrived in a moment, and knew that the Six Gates must have some kind of alarm mechanism. Even if the common people were bullied and killed by the powerful families on a daily basis, the thief catchers could pretend to be deaf and dumb and not see or do anything.

But once someone peed on the doorstep, stole a flowerpot, or broke a glass, it would be a huge deal and one would rush over to investigate, and would always keep the broken glass in mind and in one's hands.

The masters' trivial matters are like major crimes to their lackeys, and they must be supervised and dealt with strictly, so they have no choice but to take the bait.

So that’s roughly the process.

The imperial manor in the suburbs reported that a thief had stolen some gold and silver. Fortunately, there were no casualties, but the one who could sneak into the imperial palace must not be an ordinary person. He might be some heretic who got the immortal's teachings and started stealing. Therefore, there was no need to send many people to catch the thief. The brothers drew lots and chose an unlucky guy to go to the scene and take a look.

Then this unlucky guy arrived nearby, and before he even reached the scene, he discovered someone with suspicious movements nearby, so he followed the clues to investigate, and hehe, it was just a little thief who was in the foundation-building stage! Humph, cheating, raping, and robbing, birds of a feather! The public security in this wealthy area has always been very good, how could there be so many thieves? He must be the one who stole! No matter if he really stole or not, it's just a good opportunity to arrest him and close the case!

Wait! Picking flowers? What flowers are you picking? What flowers can you pick in this place? Great! You even dare to steal the concubines and servants of the nobles! Ah! Could it be a rich lady? My chance has come! Ahem, no, let's do it again...

"Humph! How dare you! You dare to seek death even at the foot of the Imperial City! Surrender! Your life!"

“Swish!” “Ah!”

Well, so another unlucky guy came here...

Jianjia stared at the sword in her hand.
"The third person... He is a Yuanying master, and it is too easy to kill him just like that..."

Tiedan Road,
"Of course it's easy. The Sword Sect's ability is designed to restrain them. Every move he makes is faster than the energy he gathers with his Gang Quan. Every sword move he makes is aimed at the flaws in his Gang Quan's form-refining technique.

Those martial gods and brave generals may be able to defeat a thousand men on the battlefield, but once they take off their armor and lose their energy, and enter the palace, they are like fish on the chopping board in front of the sword guards, who can be taken down and killed with a single order. This is a set of safety mechanisms designed by the Demon Palace since its establishment.

It is precisely because this safety mechanism failed that Sanyuan is now completely out of control."

Jianjia frowned.

"I heard that you were just a human dog before, why do you know so much? Who told you these secrets of the Demon Palace?"

Tiedan was silent for a moment, then stood up.

"Things never happen more than three times. The Six Sects are not stupid. They must have noticed the death of three Yuanying masters overnight. Let's go and change places."

This time Jianjia obeyed obediently. Although she didn't know what this bastard had been through in the past two years, she knew that he could easily kill a Yuanying in an instant with just a trick. What else was there to argue about? Just do whatever you say...

After the two men set up the murder scene, they immediately escaped and then went to other villages and towns to commit crimes.

As expected, not only the six gates were shocked! The residents of the imperial capital were also surprised!

The people in the capital especially like gossip. Moreover, there have been rumors in the martial arts world recently that the Demon Sect is hunting down the Supreme Master Ji Le and declaring war with the Southern Kingdom. It is unexpected that this beast would actually flee to Sizhou to commit crimes and slaughter the masters of Zuo Jian as soon as they come.

Now the three lackeys of the government had died in a horrible way, in public, and countless people had seen them. They had also left a note provocative, and the next day rumors were spreading in the streets and alleys. A group of people were waiting to see the show.

The Six Gates were immediately mobilized. Not only did a large number of court officials go straight to Guangcheng Pass to search for thieves, the Inspector of the Imperial Capital also dispatched thousands of troops to assist in maintaining public order and strictly check passers-by.

However, Tiedan has a good grasp of the situation. So far, no imperial guards have appeared, which shows that the Six Gates are still trying to control the situation. They only dispatch the troops on hand. Many thieves have died while catching them, so a mere petty thief can be caught sooner or later. They don't want to make a big deal out of this and embarrass themselves in the court.

The Six Gates' reaction was indeed quite fast. It seemed that although the Demon Palace had become corrupt, this violent agency used for suppression still maintained considerable execution power. However, his purpose was not to really kill all of Zuo Jian, but just to find more things for these people to do.

So Tiedan was not in a hurry at all. After he had stirred up some trouble by sticking a stick in the east, he took Jianjia to the west to do the same.

"Hmm? Baozhong Huguo Temple? Isn't this where retired eunuchs and palace ladies live in retirement..."

Jianjia looked at the temple surrounded by farmhouses and vegetable gardens at the foot of the imperial mausoleum of Beimang Mountain, and glanced at Tiedan who was leading the way.

"You are really courting death, daring to twist the inner court's tiger whiskers..."

"Humph, a bunch of damn eunuchs, what beards do you have?"

That's right, if the Six Gates are the eyes and ears of the Three Enclosures, then the eunuchs are the eyes and ears of the Purple Palace, responsible for the clan secrets and handling the family affairs of the Immortal Emperor. There are naturally countless masters, hidden dragons and crouching tigers. If they only rely on the two of them who have golden elixir, they may not even be able to climb the Nantian Gate of the Purple Palace in the sky, and will be defeated.

But it doesn’t matter. Even though we can’t defeat the young and strong eunuchs, we can bully the old, weak and sick.

Tiedan changes clothes directly.

"The eunuchs' experts are either in the palace or guarding the emperor's mausoleum. We can just rush into the nursing home and kill a bunch of them. We just need to piss off those cowards. As long as this big turtle starts to stir up trouble, the water will be muddied without us having to do anything."

"How can you be so good at courting death and causing trouble? It's not natural for you to be so annoying..."

Although Jianjia said this, her body was very honest and she moved to change her clothes.

After all, who in the world doesn't hate eunuchs? Is the purpose of eunuchs' existence to make people hate them for their masters?

Immediately, the two men rushed into the temple with sharp knives in their hands and murderous intent.

Although the inner court was not without security precautions, it was hard to guard against a crime committed in the heat of the moment by the Sword Sect. Moreover, as Jianjia said, who would have the time to seek death? They were too lax.

There were not even many guards wearing armor standing guard at the gate of Baozhong Huguo Temple. After all, the immortal soldiers had been corrupt from the root. Soldiers only eat food, and those with connections suffer losses. They just put their names on the list and never show up for duty. The other party directly sends a few servants to help.

So most of the soldiers were either carrying manure in the vegetable garden, or growing flowers in the backyard, or doing hard labor for their godfathers and ancestors, the old eunuchs, to carry water and build houses. The remaining few just sat around playing chess in the shade of the trees. Anyway, even if someone really caused trouble, there were still the Six Gates.

So how could these idle people be the opponents of the two killing gods? Jianjia held a horn bow and fired golden beads in a burst of bangs, blowing up seven or eight heads. Then he jumped onto the beam in three or two steps, opened his mouth and sprayed a sword, bent the bow and shot at anyone he saw.

Tiedan was holding the Xuanwu sword and took the lead, rushing straight into the temple. He stabbed and chopped anyone he met, piercing their hearts, chopping off their heads, cutting their flesh, and cutting their legs. He rushed in and killed everyone he met, and chopped them into pieces.

Although there are many experts among these old eunuchs, they are too old. After all, in a place like the Demon Palace, they will not let you go to live out your old age unless they use you till you have no surplus value left.
The two men who rushed in at the moment were, to be honest, killers. There was no need to say how ruthless Tiedan was and how bad his luck was, but Shen Jianjia was actually so lucky that she could go against him. It was incredible if you think about it carefully.

Then the male and female evildoers started killing people without mercy, slaughtering people like they were killing chickens and dogs. In a short while, they killed dozens of people alive and dead, and the whole Huguo Temple was littered with corpses and blood.

Tiedan looked at the reeds flying and jumping between the eaves and pagodas like kites, shooting with bows from far away and slashing with swords from nearby, killing with more enthusiasm than him, and secretly said that this young man is teachable.

So he let her kill people indiscriminately outside while he began to rummage through the old eunuchs' treasures.

There was no need to take the gold, silver and jewels, they were meaningless, and there were certainly no magic weapons or spiritual materials. They were old and dying, and they lived in this temple waiting to die, so how could they possibly have any good things? However, with Kun's guidance, Tiedan searched through the boxes and pried the floor, and finally found two good things.

One of them was a package hidden in a Buddha's head. When it was opened, it turned out to be nothing but a lot of Buddhist scriptures.

You don't put the Buddhist scriptures in the study, but you have to hollow out the Buddha's head to hide it. It must not be something serious. Sure enough, Tiedan opened it and found that the pages were densely written in tiny calligraphy. He didn't know what kind of martial arts secrets it was, probably the lifelong learning of an old eunuch. Tiedan didn't want to read it for a while, but Kun said it was okay.

As for the second item, it was a bamboo slip hidden in a cushion. This might be the real method for practicing martial arts, but Tiedan looked at it for a while and saw no reaction. He realized that the eunuch inheritance probably had nothing to do with him. Anyway, you take one and I take one, so just throw it to Jianjia.

So after slaughtering the living people and getting a good harvest, the two men decided to stop while they were ahead. They burned down the Huguo Temple with a green fire to destroy the bodies and all traces, then hid their tracks and escaped.
