Sword Roaring in the Sky

Chapter 168: Yang Wuji of the Demon Cult breaks through to the peak and challenges the ancestor of the Dalang Dynasty to a duel in seven days

This time when Sun Yanwan returned to Taiyi Temple, he was no longer alone. He brought a whole car team with him, with about twenty carriages.

These carriages all came from the Tianma Gang, and were loaded with many gifts for the master, as well as daily necessities. After all, it was inconvenient to buy things near Taiyi Temple. Now that we were in the capital, we had the financial resources, so of course we had to buy more.

Since swallowing up the Guanxin Sect and absorbing a group of knights from the capital, the Tianma Gang has expanded rapidly in Luojing. In the capital alone, it can make thousands of strings of cash in profit every month. This is still in its early stages and there are many expenses. As the Tianma Gang gains a firm foothold, the profit will continue to rise steadily.

Sun Yanwan continued to practice hard along the way.

Recently, under his influence, Shi Si, Lu Shuangfeng, and Wu Zhi have also redoubled their efforts. Sun Lingdie and Namco, on the other hand, remain the same. They both know that no matter how hard they try, they can never become masters like Sun Yanwan and Shi Si.

Well, Ding Feng didn't leave Luojing.

He is the leader of the knights-errant in the capital and cannot leave.

Qin Qiyun followed Gu Tuoniang. She was also a martial artist, but she really couldn't understand why these people loved practicing martial arts so much?

Sun Yanwan opened his eyes, and the Xuanhuang true Qi in his body increased a little more. He didn't know how far he was from breaking through to the third level, but the feeling of this slow increase in internal strength was very good. Anyway, there would always be a day for a breakthrough, so there was no need to be anxious.

The battle with Saritu made him feel for the first time the extent to which the body could be tempered by mastering external skills.

However, if the twenty-four meridians are cultivated to the extreme, it is only at the level of enlightenment. If an external master wants to be promoted to the second level, he must cultivate internal strength from the outside to the inside. The first level of external and the first level of internal martial arts are the same, both of them have internal strength running through the eight extraordinary meridians and twelve main meridians.

If one cultivates both internal and external strength, and generates a second internal force from the outside in, the internal force of this warrior will be stronger than that of a pure internal martial arts master. This is the path Saritu took, but he was never able to overcome the hurdle of cultivating an external martial arts true qi from the outside in.

If Saritu can break through and achieve unity of inside and outside, ordinary Xiantian realm masters may not be able to defeat him easily.

Along the way, Sun Yanwan also received some news from Luojing.

He only learned about the battle for the tripod on the way, and he didn't expect that he would actually beat to death a Beiyan master who participated in the battle.

Sun Yanwan was lost in thought when the carriage curtain was lifted and Shi Si came in. She sat down opposite him and said softly, "Take a break! Practicing doesn't have to be so strenuous."

Sun Yanwan nodded. He really needed to rest for a while. He had just been practicing the Xuanhuang Sutra. He should get off the car later and find an open place to practice the Golden Tendon and Jade Bone Fist a few more times.

Shi Si took out a gourd, poured out some tea, and handed it to Sun Yanwan.

It is not convenient to make tea on the road, so Namco would brew two or three pots of tea every morning and pour them into a gourd so that Sun Yan could drink it halfway on the road.

Sun Yanwan took a sip to moisten his throat, and chatted with Shi Si for a few words before hearing the sound of galloping horses.

A powerful voice shouted, "But Uncle Sun Yanwan!?"

Sun Yanwan was slightly surprised. As he stepped out of the carriage, he saw a middle-aged man dressed in the uniform of the Songyang Sect. Seeing Sun Yanwan, he hurriedly handed over a letter, saying, "This is our sect's Wanli Feishu. Please receive it, Uncle Sun." Sun Yanwan had been a disciple for quite some time and knew the rank of the Songyang Sect's Wanli Feishu. He knew that something big must have happened in the martial arts world. The Songyang Sect would mobilize all its disciples and affiliated gangs to spread the news throughout the world, informing every Songyang Sect disciple. He couldn't help but be startled and asked, "What's the big deal that requires a Wanli Feishu?"

The middle-aged man replied, "Yang Wuji of the Demon Cult has reached a peak and is challenging the ancestor of the Dalang Dynasty to a duel in seven days."

This news was indeed shocking, even Sun Yanwan was quite surprised.

The middle-aged man handed over the letter and said, "I still have seven or eight letters to deliver, so I can't catch up with my uncle."

Sun Yanwan said, "Go ahead."

He knew why he was caught up by this disciple of the Songyang Sect. If a large sect like Songyang launched an uprising and sent out its affiliated gangs, it might be difficult to find someone who was deliberately hiding. However, it was not difficult to find someone like Sun Yanwan, whose whereabouts were not secret.

The news of his departure from Luojing was not secret, and anyone from the Songyang Sect would know that he was going back to Taiyi Temple. The disciple of the Songyang Sect who delivered the letter could catch up with him by just asking around and chasing him all the way.

Just like the brothers Miao Youxiu and Miao Canglang, if they asked him to go and see the illegitimate child, if it was necessary to send the person over, it would not be Sun Yanwan who would go and find the person, but would mobilize the affiliated gangs of the Songyang Sect and spread the news. The Miao brothers could find out the news by just finding an affiliated gang controlled by the Songyang Sect. No matter if they came in person or left a message for Sun Yanwan, they could get in touch quickly.

Shi Si also got out of the car, her heart also shocked. She took the letter from Sun Yanwan's hand, read it for a while, and whispered: "Yang Wuji has been silent for many years. Once he breaks through, he will challenge the ancestor of the Dalang Dynasty."

"Did he know any news?"

The great master of Longzang Temple passed away in meditation at the top of the mountain, and was killed. Not only the monks of Longzang Temple suspected that the ancestor of the Dalang Dynasty was responsible, but even the monks of Shaochan Temple suspected it. Da Ku and Kongchan gathered all the masters of the temple, discussed it several times, and issued several strict orders. Shaochan Temple must always maintain more than seven masters and not let the masters of the temple go out casually.

Shaochan Temple is currently the most prominent in the martial arts world, so it is inevitable that the Dalang Dynasty has some thoughts about them.

Well, in fact, the Songyang School also pretended to discuss it a few times.

There is no way. Among the three major martial arts holy places in the world, two are rigorous and solemn, and the Songyang School cannot be special.

Even Shi Si began to wonder if the ancestor of the Great Lang Dynasty was truly no longer capable. This showed how accurate the blame had been placed on the emperor back then.

Lu Shuangfeng and Wu Zhi also got out of the car and took a look at the letter respectively, their expressions solemn.

The convoy continued to move forward, and at night, they met the messenger from Shaochan Temple, met Shi Si and Lu Shuangfeng, and hurriedly handed over a letter. The content was similar to the Wanli Flying Letter from the Songyang Sect, and both mentioned that Yang Wuji had broken through and would challenge the ancestor of the Dalang Dynasty in seven days.

Sun Yanwan pondered for a moment and whispered, "We can't separate. Let's go back to Taiyi Temple first."

Shi Si and Lu Shuangfeng both agreed to this proposal. If they were alone outside, they would definitely try their best to rush back to Shaochan Temple, but now they are closest to Taiyi Temple, so they naturally give priority to Taiyi Temple.

The group sped up their journey and finally returned to Taiyi Temple after a few days. But to Sun Yanwan's surprise, Zhang Yuanqiao left a letter, telling his disciple that he had gone to Luojing to watch the battle.
