The Villain's Counterattack

Fang Zetao was very panicked. He abandoned his men and disguised himself as his old trade, begging all the way to Luoyang City. However, Luoyang was very prosperous at that time with a constant stream of people coming and going. Martial artists and heroes with knives and swords could be seen everywhere on the streets.

His life was quite difficult during this period. Not only was he hunted by outsiders, but even his close associates betrayed him and joined the hunt. Even though he repeatedly claimed that he had no so-called Buddhist secrets, no one believed him, not even his own die-hard brothers.

He urgently needed a backer, someone who could protect him from the persecution of the demon sect.

Buddhism?

Fang Zetao thought about it carefully. He had three Buddhist skills in his hands: the Vajra Palm, the Dragon Elephant Prajna Palm, and the Great Seal of Buddhism. If he practiced well, he could be promoted to the innate level or even the master level. However, the innate level in this world could barely be considered a master, and was definitely not enough to let Buddhism stand up for him.

As for directly joining the Demon Sect and using his talents to help the Demon Sect suppress Buddhism, he had considered this before. However, when he thought of the mysterious methods of the demon Kana, he shuddered all over and almost fainted from fright.

From Fang Zetao's memory, all he could see were the marks of Kankan's beauty and purity. No matter how he looked at her, she was a perfect and weak woman. Even until his death, his original body was unwilling to believe that he had made a mistake, and was unwilling to believe that Kankan was a witch rather than a goddess.

As an absolute top leader of Polar City, he stepped out of the quagmire step by step, sacrificing and devouring the black hands of countless people. He himself is a ruthless existence. Naturally, he is unwilling to believe in the credibility of the Demon Sect and the so-called mercy of the Buddhist Sect. He only believes in interests and strength.

However, it is too difficult to improve one's strength, and what benefits do one have?

After losing Jingling City, he still had Duba Villa. He originally planned to give it to Li Shimin as a gift, and sneak into Tiance Mansion safely, and become a mediocre general and strategist, who was mediocre at both ends, occasionally came up with some good ideas, and could also command troops to charge into battle.

But what Kankan did instantly pushed him into an extremely unfavorable situation. He couldn't understand why Kankan did this.

How did she know that I knew Buddhist martial arts?

Pure coincidence?

Or is it that Lin Bufan is behind her?

Of course, there is also the possibility that his survival aroused the suspicion of the clever Kankan, who took the opportunity to spread rumors to attract everyone's attention and muddy the waters in the martial arts world. On the one hand, he suppressed the enthusiasm of Cihang Jingzhai, who held the imperial seal and the Heshi Bi to choose the emperor on behalf of God, and on the other hand, he was able to fish in troubled waters and distract the attention of Buddhism.

After all, something like this that threatens the life and death of Buddhism is better to believe than not. Buddhism may not be willing to believe that it only has three Buddhist techniques, but if you continue to press me, I really can't explain it clearly.

Through Fang Zetao's memories and the information he had learned during this period, he gradually turned his attention to Liaodong, not Yang Xuyan, the Duke of Liaodong, but several hermits and strange people behind him.

Xiaoyaozi of the Xiaoyao Sect himself has never heard of him, but the Three Crazy Taoists who know Tai Chi, Dugu Qiubai who challenges the Yijian master Fu Cailin with the Dugu Nine Swords, and Yue Buqun, the gentleman swordsman who wants to forge an iron-blooded heart, should definitely not appear in this era.

The head of Huashan Yue Buqun was the top master in the first world he traveled to. The Three Crazy Taoist should be the founder of Wudang, Sanfeng Zhenren, the second world he traveled to. He had personally tested him in those days and his identity was correct.

He had never heard of Xiaoyaozi and Doujiu Seng, but Dugu Qiubai seemed to be Duan Yu's master in the previous world. He also taught the Zixia magic to Duan Yu and Duan Zhengming, causing him to lose two lives.

But these are people from later generations, and it is impossible for them to appear in the late Sui Dynasty and early Tang Dynasty.

This thought went around in his mind, making Fang Zetao more and more suspicious that one of them was actually Lin Bufan in disguise, and it was very likely that it was Xiaoyaozi or Sanfeng Zhenren, because the information he had exchanged for his immortal origin showed that Lin Bufan was already a grandmaster in the previous world, and it didn't make sense that his strength would regress in this world.

Of course, the martial arts realm in this world is higher. When I saw the name of the last realm was Broken Void, a bold idea emerged in my mind: Yue Buqun, Sanfeng Zhenren, and Dugu Qiubai might be real people. They did come from the future, but unlike myself, whose souls were forced to travel through time by gods, they came to this world through the Broken Void body.

In the world where Yue Buqun was, I seemed to have heard that the world's number one master Lin Pingzhi shattered the void, and I witnessed Zhang Sanfeng shattering the void with my own eyes in the second world. Who knows whether there are also powerful people who can shatter the void in the third and fourth worlds with stronger military power? If so, the identities of these people are worth careful investigation.

The fact that they stay in seclusion from the world may be a way of avoiding reality. After all, they all know the course of history, and as masters, they are unwilling to waste their energy interfering with and destroying the course of history. It would be better for them to continue practicing martial arts and break the void again. What if they break into a higher level world next time?

The tragic experiences in the previous few worlds had made him mentally prepared for his own bad luck. Although he had some doubts about Kankan, they were not serious. He was more troubled by his own bad luck. If he had known that the leader of a faction would fall so quickly, he might as well have possessed a member of the Tiance Mansion early on.

The defense of Jingling coincided with the time when the King of Qin defeated Xue Rengao. If I had chosen to possess the general of Tian Ce Mansion, it would definitely be better than now.

Alas, I was too greedy. After all, I lived too submissively in the last world relying on the Beggars' Sect, which made me greedy and want to take charge of a force. I never thought that the military power in this world was too high and I didn't have the strength to be independent.

In fact, with his innate strength, he should have no problem being independent, but he happened to be involved in the protagonist's growth event, and was surrounded by masters, which made him look particularly weak.

After all, he was able to snatch a woman from Qu Ao's eldest disciple Chang Shumou, so he must have some strength. Well, when Kankan was snatched away by him, it seemed like a play no matter how you looked at it. Judging from the fact that Ren Shaoming was surrounded by the evil monk Fanan and the beautiful nun Chang Zhen, who were good players of the Yingui Sect, they should have colluded with each other a long time ago.

The more he knew, the more ignorant and weak Fang Zetao felt. At the same time, he became very interested in Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling. He had tested them before and found that they were really just the son of destiny, not Lin Bufan possessed.

He entered the city disguised as a beggar, and he had plenty of money on him. He was also a natural fighter and had the ability to protect himself. He moved quite freely, and soon found out a lot of information. He secretly followed and met an acquaintance: Xu Ziling.

Hiding outside the tavern and listening attentively, he first met a general under the King of Qin, and later even heard that the King of Qin himself was meeting with Xu Ziling, which made him excited. He never thought that these two gangsters from Yangzhou had already had a friendship with the King of Qin Li Shimin.

These two fools didn't even know how to take advantage of such a good opportunity. With their martial arts abilities, if they had defected to the King of Qin earlier, they would have surely been given a high position in the future for their meritorious service. The Tang State is powerful, so it shouldn't be a problem for them to be protected.

But then, a figure appeared out of nowhere, leaving him stunned. Who was this person? He was so arrogant, even daring to challenge the future Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin. He truly had no idea of ​​his own limitations.

The visitor called herself Qin Chuan, which was naturally a pseudonym for her master, Concubine Xuan. She came from Cihang Jingzhai, carrying the imperial seal and the Heshi Bi to enhance the reputation and establish the status of the future new emperor. Although she was ridiculed and treated coldly by Yang Xiu, she still obeyed her master's orders and came to go through the motions of "testing" Li Shimin.

Just listening to Li Shimin talking about criticizing the current ills, seeking order through tranquility, saving money and promoting culture, spreading virtue and charity, and reducing taxes are all clichés. They sound good, but they cannot stand the scrutiny of people who really understand the situation.

In the past, Shi Feixuan might have been overjoyed to hear this, and sighed that this was a wise leader, and that her master was indeed discerning. However, ever since she had been in the Liaodong County Duke's Mansion, where she was looked down upon for being overambitious and incompetent, and was even said to be blind and deaf and unable to see the highs and the lows, she had thought a lot, traveled to many places, and met many people.

Looking at Qin Wang Li Shimin now, she felt that he was just okay. She could not give him a higher evaluation in her heart. She always had a sense of loss. She actually really wanted to find a wise leader to pacify the world and bring peace and prosperity to the people. But now it seems that this Qin Wang is somewhat overambitious.

If he didn't see the problem, it was because he was incompetent and short-sighted, not as good as Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty.

If he saw it but pretended to know it, it would prove that he was just like that. He might not be truly serving the country and the people, but he still regarded himself as a member of an aristocratic family. In his heart, he only cared about his family and not the world.
