Immortal Dynasty Hounds

Chapter 77 There are no good people in the One Heart Society
Ah? There are still experts?

Lian Shanxin's heart suddenly tightened.

A heretic from a demonic cult has infiltrated our ranks.

Fortunately, the weather in Jiangzhou suddenly changed, so Lian Shanxin's sudden tension did not arouse Zhuo Biyu's suspicion.

Instead, Zhuo Biyu looked up at the dark clouds and made a cruel joke: "Don't be afraid. The death of Zeng Ningbing alone cannot cause such a drastic change in the heavens. The Dragon King has been extinct for thousands of years."

She didn't know that what Lian Shanxin feared wasn't the natural phenomena, but her.

At that moment, Lian Shanxin almost immediately had the idea of ​​killing him to silence him.

But he quickly realized that Qi Shiyun and Tian Ji were probably closer to Zhuo Biyu than he was.

They've known each other for countless years and fought side-by-side countless times.

He had only just established a friendship with them that was one of shared life and death.

The relationship still needs to be nurtured.

Moreover, proving that Zhuo Biyu, a true member of the demonic sect, was connected to demons is far more difficult than proving that an innocent civilian was connected to demons.

and many more……

Lian Shanxin struggled to control the contraction of his pupils.

He saw that there was an extra person in front of the Maitreya Buddha statue.

There was a familiar red dress.

Upon seeing that splash of red, Lian Shanxin breathed a sigh of relief.

It is the Blood Guanyin.

It's good that it doesn't have a thousand faces.

Qianmian is in Jiangzhou. If Zhuo Biyu is one of Qianmian's people, and such a big handle is handed over to Qianmian, Lianshanxin will be in big trouble.

If the Blood Guanyin (Goddess of Mercy) finds out, there will certainly be trouble.

However, the Blood Guanyin is not in Jiangzhou; that's a problem to be considered later.

Given Lianshanxin's current rate of progress, coupled with the generous sponsorship of the top sponsor, if Lianshanxin is given a year, it's hard to say who will be afraid of whom.

Moreover, according to the intelligence he has gathered so far, there is a significant conflict between Blood Guanyin and Thousand Faces.

This time, in killing Zeng Ningbing, Lian Shanxin and his group turned their attention to Qianmian. Even if Xue Guanyin knew, she would probably be happy to see it happen.

Lian Shanxin did not believe that the four elders of the Demonic Sect could be united.

If even the "One Heart Society," which they just established with the lives of nine generations of their clan as its bond, can't do that, what right does the Demonic Sect have?

Lian Shanxin continued reading without showing any emotion.

"Blood Guanyin" handed Zhuo Biyu a letter.

"Elder, what is this?" Zhuo Biyu asked, taking the letter with some curiosity.

Blood Guanyin did not hide anything: "The traces of 'Thousand Faces' are my great gift to you, to help you rise to the top in the Nine Heavens."

Zhuo Biyu was shocked: "Thousand Faces? The most mysterious of the four elders of the Holy Sect, Thousand Faces? Elder, isn't he one of us?"

"It's just an eye for an eye. He tried to harm me when I advanced to the Dharma Aspect Realm. A gentleman takes revenge even after ten years. I'm not a gentleman, I can't wait ten years."

Zhuo Biyu: "..."

"'Heavenly Sword' and 'Thousand Faces' are also enemies. If Heavenly Sword learns of Thousand Faces' whereabouts, it will definitely head south to Jiangzhou. At that time, you can also take the opportunity to leave Shenjing City." Xue Guanyin instructed, "In the near future, Shenjing City will be in great chaos. Your strength is not enough right now, so it is best to protect yourself."

Zhuo Biyu was startled again: "Elder, is the Holy Sect planning something big in the capital? Isn't it too early?"

"Don't worry, it's not a rebellion in the capital. The leader isn't that crazy; he has another plan. For this plan, we need to transfer as many of the Grandmasters from 'Nine Heavens' who are in charge of the war as possible to prevent them from becoming an obstacle. Thousand Faces is a very suitable target; it's time to make him loyal to the Holy Church."

Zhuo Biyu had nothing to say, and could only remind Xue Guanyin: "Elder, you should try to keep a low profile when you are in Shenjing City. There are immortals in Shenjing City who have always been very wary of people from the Holy Sect."

"The immortal of Yu the Great is about to collapse."

The information that Blood Guanyin casually revealed greatly shocked Zhuo Biyu.

This also made Lian Shanxin's heart sink when he saw this.

If the powerful figures behind the imperial court run into trouble, then chaos and disorder will truly ensue.

Lian Shanxin didn't want to see that scene because he was currently a member of the imperial court, and it was better to take shelter under a powerful patron.

"This is the 'Severing Love Blade' that I created when I condensed my Dharma form. It should be useful to you. However, you can only use it as a reference; you don't need to learn it from me."

Blood Guanyin then handed Zhuo Biyu a notebook.

Zhuo Biyu accepted it and quickly thanked her.

The Blood Guanyin said quietly, "I hope you will never master the 'Heartbreak Blade,' because only by experiencing love and being abandoned can one truly comprehend its essence."

Zhuo Biyu gained confidence: "I was also seduced and then abandoned by Qi Shiyun before."

Blood Guanyin: "..."

Lian Shanxin was speechless. "Qi Tanhua, you've committed so many evil deeds!"

"I have never used this sword technique in front of a living person, so you don't need to worry about your identity being exposed."

Zhuo Biyu was somewhat moved: "Elder, why are you so kind to me?"

Xue Guanyin gave Zhuo Biyu a deep look: "Your mother saved my life. I don't know if that was a blessing or a curse for you."

……

The screen ends.

Lian Shanxin looked up at the sky without making a sound, silently processing the information he had just received.

Blood Guanyin is plotting something big in the capital city; the core strength of the entire Demonic Sect is probably all in the capital city now.

The Demonic Sect in Jiangzhou is currently being led by Thousand Faces.

Blood Guanyin and Thousand Faces do indeed have a deep-seated blood feud, so there's no need to worry for the time being that Zhuo Biyu will sell them to Thousand Faces.

I wonder if Zhuo Biyu has mastered the "Broken Heart Blade". If she has, it means that she is actually serious about Qi Shiyun.

Then we might have to let Qi Shiyun use her beauty to her advantage.

What evil cult, Nine Heavens? Once you join the "One Heart Society," you're all brothers from nine generations, bound by life and death.

Even the demonic witches of the evil sect are not entirely beyond redemption.

With this in mind, Lian Shanxin had basically calmed down.

He felt things weren't so bad.

The cult spy knew he had killed the princess, so he had every right to be afraid.

Rebellion is one thing, but shouting slogans and actually killing the dragon's offspring are two completely different things.

The former was merely a matter of Jiutian leading the suppression, while the latter was simply a matter of the imperial court needing a coordinate.

Moreover, it must be said that Zhuo Biyu was loyal enough to be the first to stab Zeng Ningbing.

Lian Shanxin is not an ungrateful person, nor is he a demon descended to earth.

If Dai Yueying and Zeng Ningbing hadn't been so determined to harm his parents, even Shan Xin might not have killed the princess.

Zhuo Biyu and he currently have no enmity or grudge against each other.

Lian Shanxin glanced at Qi Shiyun and Tian Ji, deciding to find an opportunity to test their relationship with Zhuo Biyu.

And... leave yourself a way out.

What if the imperial court's immortals really can't hold on any longer?
"Wow!"

Lian Shanxin had just finished mentally preparing himself when another person broke down.

The Forgotten Yuriko!
I witnessed the entire group crime committed by the four of them.

Everyone was terrified.

Yuriko, snapping out of her daze, felt her resolve shatter completely: "I didn't see anything, please don't kill me."

She cried as she spoke.

It rained heavily.

Lian Shanxin and the other three were all martial artists at the True Intent Realm or above, so they naturally used their true energy to isolate themselves from the rain.

But Yuriko, having broken down, completely lost her will to fight back, crying in the rain like a child who had just lost her brother.

Lian Shanxin and the other three exchanged glances again.

They all shook their heads.

This is a serious case of murder to silence witnesses.

"She probably doesn't realize what's going on yet," Tian Ji said fairly.

Qi Shiyun was too lazy to waste words and directly said to Lian Shanxian, "I've accumulated enough, Ah Xin, here you go, take it to solidify your True Intent Realm."

Lian Shanxin showed no politeness and swiftly brought down his knife.

A feeling of fullness filled my entire body once again.

Tian Ji and Zhuo Biyu remained completely calm.

A strange light flashed in Qi Shiyun's eyes. She focused her voice into a thread and transmitted it secretly: "You have mastered the 'True Meaning of Slaying Dragons'?"

Lian Shanxin sheathed his sword, remaining calm and composed.

Unlike the earlier discovery of Zhuo Biyu's secret, which had filled him with dread, this time...

He was prepared for Qi Shiyun's discovery that he had mastered the secret of "Dragon-Slaying True Intent".

The moment Lian Shanxin decided to join forces against Zeng Ningbing, he knew he probably couldn't hide it from Qi Shiyun. So what if he couldn't hide it?

We're all in the same boat now, what can we do about it?

"I'm about to return to the academy to break through to the Domain Realm. Ah Xin, come with me. I'll tell you some secrets of our lineage."

Qi Shiyun took Lian Shanxin aside, and Tian Ji and Zhuo Biyu didn't take it seriously.

They didn't want to know too much about the inside story of the "Chosen One" lineage; the more they knew, the greater their chances of dying.

After making sure no one else could hear her, Qi Shiyun crossed her arms and raised her chin at Lian Shanxin: "Speak, what happened?"

Lian Shanxin did not immediately answer Qi Shiyun's question, but asked curiously, "Qi Tanhua, have you also mastered the 'True Meaning of Slaying Dragon'?"

"I wouldn't say I've mastered it, I've only just come into contact with it. I've already surpassed the true realm, and unless I completely overturn it and start all over again, it won't mean much to me anymore."

At this point, Qi Shiyun felt very sorry.

The "True Meaning of Slaying Dragons" is definitely more powerful than the True Meaning of Martial Arts she has mastered.

But now that she has broken through the threshold of the Domain Realm, Qi Shiyun would absolutely refuse to go back to cultivate the True Intent Realm.

Lian Shanxin understood perfectly. It sounds nice to say that you can't build something new without breaking down the old, but who would want to go back and repeat their senior year of high school?

"Only after killing Zeng Ningbing did I understand what the 'True Meaning of Dragon Slaying' was." Qi Shiyun looked at Lian Shanxin strangely: "This aura is exactly the same as your True Meaning aura, but you didn't just advance to the True Meaning Realm."

Lian Shanxin shrugged and spoke frankly to Qi Shiyun: "Qi Tanhua has keen insight. I did indeed grasp the 'True Meaning of Slaying the Dragon' yesterday."

"what is going on?"

"It was a coincidence."

Lian Shanxin told Qi Shiyun about Dai Yueying's situation.

Now there's really no need to hide it from her anymore, since we all killed a new princess together.

However, Lian Shanxin still embellished his story during the recounting process, insisting that he killed Dai Yueying only out of righteous indignation and that it was absolutely not intentional.

After listening to Lian Shanxin's account, Qi Shiyun glared at him fiercely: "You better not have done it on purpose."

Lian Shanxin was very straightforward: "Qi Tanhua, things have come to this, we still need to look forward."

Qi Shiyun: "..."

"Can the 'Chosen One' sense the 'Dragon-Slaying True Meaning' we're cultivating?" Lian Shanxin asked with concern.

Qi Shiyun shook her head: "It shouldn't be possible to sense it. Master didn't personally kill a true dragon bloodline back then; it was His Majesty who did it. The inheritance of 'True Meaning of Slaying Dragons' requires the true dragon bloodline as the key to unlock it."

"That's good. But it doesn't seem difficult to kill someone with the bloodline of a true dragon. Are our lineage's predecessors too cowardly?" Lian Shanxin asked curiously.

Qi Shiyun glared at Lian Shanxin again: "Do you think everyone has the luck of running into a wild princess like you? All the princes and princesses we know are officially registered by the court. Try killing one of them!"

Lian Shan said with confidence that I was not yet old.

Kill them when they're strong enough.

"Qi Tanhua, let me tell you a secret." Lian Shanxin moved closer to Qi Shiyun, almost whispering in her ear, "Actually, I really have mastered the True Meaning of the Void."

Qi Shiyun looked at Lian Shanxin in astonishment: "Really?"

“Really, otherwise why do you think I can always see through other people’s disguises?” Lian Shanxin reminded him, “Think about my record.”

Qi Shiyun thought of Chairman Qu, Lin Xiangwen, and the imposter Jiang Haoran from earlier, and so she believed him.

You can fake it once, but you can't fake it three times in a row in front of her.

"So you... have mastered two martial arts essences?" Qi Shiyun was still shocked, even though she believed it. "How did you do that?"

Lian Shanxin didn't know how to answer this question.

When you can't answer a question, the best approach is to ask the other person a question in return.

This is also the wisdom that Lianshan Xin learned from Little Red Book.

He applied this to Qi Shiyun: "Is there no one else in this world who can simultaneously master two True Meanings in the True Meaning Realm?"

“Thousand Faces? No, Thousand Faces uses the True Meaning of Myriad Phenomena to simulate other True Meanings.” Qi Shiyun shook her head: “It’s not strange to master multiple martial arts True Meanings in the True Meaning Realm. What’s strange is that you were able to master two True Meanings right at the True Meaning Realm. Others only start to understand them by analogy when they are at least in the middle stage of the True Meaning Realm.”

Lian Shanxin boasted, "Perhaps it's because I have a special talent."

Qi Shiyun did not refute.

In her eyes, Lian Shanxin was indeed exceptionally talented.

“However, killing Zeng Ningbing should be enough for me to advance to the mid-stage of the True Intent Realm,” Lian Shan said.

"not enough."

Qi Shiyun poured cold water on Lian Shanxin's enthusiasm: "I told you, your cultivation speed will only get slower and slower. It's not difficult to advance from the Body Tempering Realm to the True Intent Realm, but from the True Intent Realm onwards, the difficulty doubles with each advancement. Even with my talent, I couldn't break through to the Grandmaster Realm in four years, let alone you."

Lian Shanxin retorted, "Qi Tanhua, what do you mean by 'moreover, me'? Don't you think I have more talent than you in cultivating the 'Subduing Dragon Immortal Technique'?"

Qi Shiyun had no way to refute it.

Although she did not remain at the Body Tempering Realm for eighteen years, she also did not break through to the third realm in a single day.

Lian Shanxin's potential is frighteningly high, both in terms of upper and lower limits.

She was already feeling like she was losing control of the situation.

Lian Shanxin analyzed, "It seems that because I gave half of the princess's fortune to you, Qi Tanhua, the remaining half is not enough for me to break through to the mid-stage of the True Intent Realm. So, if one wild princess can help me break through to the True Intent Realm, then three wild princesses would probably be enough to help me advance to the Grandmaster level?"

Qi Shiyun said speechlessly, "Are you at odds with the princess? Why can't you go after the prince?"

Lian Shanxin readily agreed: "That works too. I'm easygoing. I won't give up on the princess, nor will I waste the prince. I'll accept all comers."

Qi Shiyun spat lightly: "Can't you be a little more timid? There are safer ways to cultivate, don't play with your life so carelessly."

Lian Shanxin gently reminded him, "Qi Tanhua, I have killed two princesses. Can His Majesty spare me?"

Qi Shiyun: "..."

"In that case, killing a few more won't make any difference, and the same goes for you."

Lian Shanxin casually dragged Qi Tanhua into the mess.

Qi Shiyun's fist hardened.

“Qi Tanhua, you haven’t grasped the key point yet. I’m telling you, I’ve truly mastered the art of insight,” Lian Shanxin repeatedly reminded him.

Qi Shiyun finally realized Lian Shanxin's treasonous idea: "You... can sense the identities of other princesses and princes? Wait, are you sure His Majesty has other offspring left among the common people?"

Lian Shanxin smiled slightly: "It's basically confirmed. You told me that His Majesty used to roam the martial world when he was young and had good relationships with many holy maidens and demonesses. The demoness from the demonic sect that His Majesty seduced is none other than 'Blood Guanyin,' one of the four elders of the demonic sect today."

Qi Shiyun trembled all over.

The secret revealed by Lian Shanxin was far too significant.

"Does Your Majesty know?"

“I’m not sure, but I guess ‘Blood Guanyin’ definitely doesn’t know His Majesty’s identity. Otherwise, Dai Yueying wouldn’t have died so easily at my hands. ‘Blood Guanyin’ would definitely have hoarded her as a valuable commodity.”

Qi Shiyun nodded slowly.

She agrees with this assessment.

“Qi Tanhua, last night I asked Zhuo Biyu if His Majesty has many children. She said His Majesty has extraordinary energy, which shows that His Majesty is still working hard to conceive after ascending the throne.”

"His Majesty's energy will only be more extraordinary when he is young, and he has not been idle in the martial arts world. With His Majesty's abilities, two princesses are definitely not his limit."

"I suspect that His Majesty himself doesn't even know how many confidantes he has, or how many imperial offspring he has left among the common people."

Qi Shiyun's heart fluttered.

She was persuaded by Lian Shanxin.

Most importantly, she knew the emperor far better than Lian Shanxin.

"When His Majesty was roaming the martial world, he was indeed quite adept at it. My master has told me this several times."

Qi Shiyun and Lian Shanxin exchanged a glance.

His eyes remained unwavering, filled only with the ambition to slay the dragon.

"Lian Shanxin, you're leading me down a dead end," Qi Shiyun said in a deep voice.

Lian Shanxin grasped Qi Shiyun's hand again, his tone gentle yet firm: "Fortune and honor are found in danger, and so is the great path!"

A flash of memory suddenly crossed Qi Shiyun's eyes.

These were her words yesterday, when Lian Shanxin asked her if there was a shortcut to cultivation for the Fulong lineage.

Now, Lianshan Xin has given it to her in return.

This is not a boomerang.

Rather, it is the passing down of the torch from generation to generation of the Fulong lineage.

Qi Shiyun suddenly laughed: "Today, you and I can truly be called fellow Daoists who are honest with each other and share life and death."

She knew that Lian Shanxin was trying to drag her into this mess.

But she didn't hesitate and went all in.

"I will carefully investigate His Majesty's movements during his travels, especially those fairies and witches he interacted with. If I find anything, I will inform you immediately."

Lian Shanxin smiled and said, "Thank you, Scholar Qi. We don't necessarily have to kill them. There are many ways to cultivate. Scholar Qi, if we support a commoner prince to ascend the throne, wouldn't the gains be greater than supporting any prince who has already been appointed?" Lian Shanxin asked.

Qi Shiyun's heart fluttered again: "Ah Xin, you are suited to cultivate the demonic path. Every word you say is tempting me to fall into demonic ways."

Lian Shanxin dropped another bombshell: "There is something I need to tell Qi Tanhua—Zhuo Biyu is a spy for the Demonic Sect."

"What? You even know that? Is discerning the true meaning really that amazing?"

Lianshanxin: "?"
