Well, although I feel dizzy, I still try my best to finish a chapter.

Sun Yanwan asked curiously, "Where are those dozen or so young masters from noble families?"

Sun Yunhe smiled slightly and said, "They will naturally stay at the manor at the foot of the mountain."

Sun Yanwan said "oh" and finally understood what was going on. Nan Mengtang was the apprentice of Senior Sister Wei, so she could bring a few sisters to live with her master. Sun Yunhe was at least in the Xiantian realm. Although his cultivation might not be as good as before, his status in the martial arts world was still there, so he had the face to come to Ziyou Temple. Those young masters from aristocratic families did not have this face and could only stay in the manor at the foot of the mountain.

Sun Yanwan still had to practice boxing, so he said hello to Old Man Sun and went back to his room.

Sun Yunhe also followed the Taoist who led the way to the room in the temple where guests were received.

Early the next morning, Zhang Qingxi came to call Sun Yanwan, and the two brothers went straight to another mountain to look for their sixth uncle Yin Bailian.

Yin Bailian looked like a middle-aged man in his thirties, with a strong body and flawless physique. His face was as lifelike as a sculpture, handsome and aggressive.

Back then, the Sixth Uncle of the Songyang Sect was praised as the most handsome man in the martial arts world. However, the Seven Friends of Songyang were all obsessed with martial arts, and Yin Bailian was too busy with romance when he was young, so he never married.

Sun Yanwan had heard from his senior brother a long time ago that after a martial arts master breaks through the innate realm, his physique and appearance will almost remain fixed, and he will age extremely slowly.

If you are promoted to the innate realm at the age of 20, you will have the appearance of a 20-year-old. If you are promoted to the innate realm at the age of 30, you will have the appearance of a 30-year-old. If you are promoted when you are 70 or 80, it will probably be... no matter whether you maintain your appearance or not.

When he met Taoist Nun Wei yesterday, he knew that this senior sister must be an extremely powerful and ruthless character. After all, Madam Wei looked like a young girl and seemed to be only about twenty years old, which meant that she had been promoted to the innate realm very early.

I met Yin Bailian today. Although he is a little older, he is also a rare figure in the world.

The innate masters in the martial arts world are all people who have been famous for decades. People like Madam Wei and Yin Bailian, who were promoted to the innate level at a very young age, are all peerless geniuses who are famous for a while.

The two of them have indeed gone one step further than ordinary innate masters and have both been promoted to grandmasters.

After hearing Zhang Qingxi's intention, Yin Bailian said calmly, "This is easy."

"Since you're here, remember to tell your master when you return that I've received the letter from the Lao family father and daughter, and that I went to assassinate the Demon Cult's King Harsha. However, that old man was quite skilled in martial arts, and I stabbed him with my sword, but he struck me back with a palm strike."

Sun Yanwan was startled and asked hurriedly, "Sixth Uncle, is there anything wrong?"

"Is the injury serious?"

"Although I was assassinated, I didn't suffer any serious injuries. Sixth Uncle doesn't have to assassinate the Demon Cult anymore."

Yin Bailian laughed dumbly and said, "You are quite filial, child."

"Don't worry, your Sixth Uncle is a master of external martial arts. That palm strike only caused me some minor injuries. I will be fine after a few days of rest."

"I failed to kill King Harsha, and the Peacock King was not at the Demon Cult's headquarters, so I could only settle for the next best thing and kill the Sixth and Seventeenth Demon Generals. This can be considered as an explanation to Second Senior Brother."

"The Demon Cult has learned of this, and their leader, Yang Wuji, has written you a personal letter."

Sun Yanwan was very surprised and asked, "I don't even know him, why would he write to me?"

Yin Bailian said softly, "Yang Wuji said he investigated the matter and that a middle-level leader of a branch office acted alone and sent out assassins without reporting to his superiors. This incident was considered an oversight on his part, so he will not be killed by the Songyang Sect. However, the deaths of two demon generals and the ambush on King Jie Ri cannot be let go. I will let you choose one of his six disciples. We agree that in three years, we will duel in the martial arts world. Win or lose, life or death is your own decision." "If you die, the Songyang Sect cannot take action. But if his disciple is dead, the matter will be forgotten, and the Demon Sect will not pursue it."

Sun Yanwan was startled and said, "Can't you refuse?"

Yin Bailian showed a strange look and said, "I originally thought that Second Senior Brother had accepted a legitimate disciple, so I agreed to it on your behalf..."

"If you insist on refusing, it's not impossible."

"Without this battle, our Songyang Sect would have gone to war with the Demon Cult. Even if dozens of people died, we would still be able to sit down and negotiate."

Yin Bailian said it lightly, but Sun Yanwan was frightened. He certainly knew what his Sixth Uncle meant. If he did not agree, the Songyang Sect would have to pay the price of dozens of lives. His Sixth Uncle had no intention of forcing him at all. He just made the situation clear and simply stated the consequences.

Sun Yanwan believed that if he firmly refused, his sixth uncle Yin Bailian would not say anything and would just take on the war. Even if the Songyang Sect suffered countless casualties, he would not retreat even a single step.

He pondered for a moment, then said decisively, "I'll take on the challenge."

Yin Bailian showed a look of relief and said lightly: "As expected of Second Senior Brother...'s successor."

Sun Yanwan felt that the tone of this sentence was a little strange, and muttered to himself, "Why doesn't Sixth Uncle-General seem to be talking about successors? Could it be that he is talking about descendants?"

"Well, that's just crazy thinking."

He took the letter from Yin Bailian and was about to unfold it to read it when Yin Bailian suddenly said, "I have checked it using six methods. There is absolutely no problem with this letter, and it has not been poisoned."

Sun Yanwan was so frightened that she almost lost the letter.

Putting poison in a letter is so inhumane!

He calmed down for a while before unfolding the letter. He saw biographies of six people written on it. The text was extremely brief, with only a few sentences for each person.

Sun Yanwan didn't recognize these people either. He was a complete idiot and didn't know much about the people in the martial arts world. He didn't know these six names, each of which had a long history. He only picked out the key information, pointed to the youngest one and said, "Let's choose Diao'er!"

Yin Bailian showed a strange look and said, "You really don't want to change?"

Sun Yanwan thought to herself, "This one is the youngest and a girl, so her martial arts skills must be the worst. I definitely won't change it." She answered firmly, "I'll choose this one."

Yin Bailian immediately looked at him with new eyes, thinking, "He's truly worthy of being Second Senior Brother's offspring. Although his talent isn't exceptional, his heroic spirit is no less than his. He actually chose Yang Wuji's only beloved daughter, the current Saint of the Demon Cult."

"This Diao'er's talent is said to be no less than that of my nephew Qingxi!"

Yin Bailian was in charge of most of the affairs of the Songyang Sect, including external battles and internal punishments, so he had a very high prestige among the younger disciples.

This old man from Songyang is very arrogant. He doesn't look down on cowards and only admires heroes. The person he admires most in his life is his second senior brother.

If Sun Yanwan refused the challenge, he certainly couldn't do anything to "Second Brother's illegitimate child", but he would never look down on this "junior" again.

If Sun Yanwan picked someone at random, even the weakest one, he would at least look up to him a little more.

Sun Yanwan chose the most mysterious Diao'er, and he really treated this nephew as his own son.
