The Villain's Counterattack

"Master Bu Tian greets Master Jing Zhai."

Before Fan Qinghui could finish his question, "Who dares to invade my Cihang Jingzhai?", a tall and straight man in a black robe, wearing a bronze mask and holding a three-foot green sword, slowly spoke and calmly saluted. He showed no sense of being an invader and ignored the bloodstains and wailing everywhere.

"The Taoist Master Bu Tian?!" As the leader of the righteous path and the master of Cihang Jingzhai, Fan Qinghui is well aware of the major events in the world. She has also heard of this Taoist Master Bu Tian, ​​but she doesn't know much about him.

More than ten years ago, the former crown prince Yang Yong was defeated, and Yang Guang ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor. He falsely passed an imperial decree to execute his elder brother, and then poisoned the former crown prince's eldest son. After consolidating his position, he exiled the former crown prince's other sons. Along the way, many kings died mysteriously, and after the last young king died, a document was sent to Emperor Yang Guang along with his body.

Letter to: The Lord of Repairing Heaven.

From Fan Qinghui's perspective, it was a large-scale performance, a demonstration of the abilities of the Butian Daoists before they made a show of goodwill and surrendered to Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty. As one of the branches of the Demon Sect, the Butian Dao was not welcomed by both the black and white worlds, and its representative figure, the Evil King Shi Zhixuan, was also rejected by both the good and evil worlds because of this identity. If it were not for the Huajian Sect, it would have been impossible for him to marry Bi Xiuxin and have a moment of peace.

From that time on, the leaders of several powerful forces in the world knew that the Butian Dao was gradually out of Shi Zhixuan's control, and this mysterious Butian Dao master joined the Sui Emperor Yang Guang. No one knew the specific situation.

Now more than ten years have passed, Yang Guang has "died" in Yangzhou City, and the Sui Dynasty has fallen apart. Fan Qinghui never expected that the Taoist Master Bu Tian would suddenly attack Cihang Jingzhai in broad daylight, and the 108 innate assassins would capture all the ordinary disciples of Jingzhai in a short time.

The two grandmaster-level elders were also killed by the Taoist master and his two companions.

Yes, it was not about capturing but about beheading, and the people who did it were none other than the brothers Yang Yi and Yang Ke who had practiced the "Sunflower Manual". They had both reached the level of senior masters in martial arts, and because of their unconventional sword skills, their lethality was extremely strong. Even Elder Jingzhai who had practiced the "Cihang Sword Manual" was caught off guard and beheaded by them.

Two master swordsmen, one hundred and eight innate assassins, plus an unfathomable master of Bu Tian Dao. Fan Qinghui saw that Jingzhai disciples suffered heavy casualties and most of the remaining ones were captured. He couldn't help but feel heartbroken but couldn't show it on his face. He forced himself to remain calm and deal with the man opposite who gave him a great sense of oppression, intending to buy more time.

Fan Qinghui did not ask the man opposite why he suddenly attacked. After all, does the Demon Sect need a reason to attack the Buddhist Sect?

"What a great leader of the Bu Tian Dao! No wonder he was able to seize the power of the Bu Tian Dao from the hands of the Evil King. Fan Qinghui admires you!" As Fan Qinghui spoke, his expression suddenly turned cold. His eyes were like lightning as he stared at the man opposite him and said coldly, "But my Jingzhai is not a place for you scoundrels to show off your power. You broke into the mountain gate and killed my Jingzhai disciples. I may have to keep you all here today."

The leader of the Bu Tian Dao was naturally Yang Xuyan. When he got the news of Fang Zetao's real death, he no longer had any worries and was ready to start defying the heaven. The first thing he did was to destroy Cihang Jingzhai, the self-righteous so-called leader of the righteous path.

As they spoke, several older women approached secretly. All of them possessed innate cultivation, and several were Half-Step Grandmasters. It was undeniable that Cihang Jingzhai, while formidable, was not comparable to Jingnian Monastery. Jingnian Monastery possessed incredible wealth and a significant number of warrior monks. The four head monks were all Half-Step Grandmasters, and one or two had already reached Grandmaster status. However, the only truly powerful individual was Master Kong, a peak Grandmaster.

Jingnian Zen Temple dominates Luoyang, and Cihang Jingzhai is spread all over the world. It has branches in Chang'an, Luoyang, Chengdu, Yangzhou and other places. The weakest person in charge is a half-step master, and there are even masters. The masters who are openly and secretly added together are definitely not inferior to the Yingui Sect. This is the foundation for them to become the leader of the righteous path.

There were many factors that led to Yang Xuyan leading his men to attack this time. One was because of the destruction of Jingnian Zen Temple, and Jingzhai sent many experts to investigate. In addition, in order to support Li Shimin and coordinate Shi Feixuan's actions, the strength of each branch was strengthened.

Cihang Jingzhai has been the leader of the righteous path for a long time, and no one dares to be presumptuous at the Jingzhai mountain gate of Ditafeng. Even the great Taoist master Ning Daoqi returned in defeat. This has invisibly nourished their arrogance, and they don't think anyone dares to offend them, so they unknowingly relax their vigilance.

The so-called precautions were in place, but the ones dispatched this time were the Butian Dao master, the Butian Dao's inherited assassin knight, an almighty grandmaster, two senior grandmasters who practiced the "Sunflower Manual", and one hundred and eight innate-level killers and assassins with rich experience in lightness skills and swordsmanship. They easily destroyed the outer precautions and entered the Jingzhai Mountain Gate without any effort.

Afterwards, he even ambushed and launched a surprise attack, severely injuring and killing the disciples in public. If it were not for the fact that the ancestors had been prepared for danger and left behind many secret sentries, even if the alarm bell was sounded, it would not only attract Fan Qinghui who was climbing the mountain to look into the distance, but also wake up the other disciples hiding in the dark.

It goes without saying that Cihang Jingzhai was able to become the leader of the righteous path, and its power was very powerful. But Yang Xuyan was no ordinary person. He had thought of various possible situations early on, and he had many speculations about why the wanderer Ning Daoqi had returned empty-handed that year.

Are Buddhism and Taoism really harmonious?

Did the wanderer Ning Daoqi really climb the Emperor's Peak just to read the "Cihang Sword Canon"?

Would a great master really vomit blood because of reading?

The so-called gratitude may really be gratitude, but Ning Sanren’s attitude is a little too nice. Is this normal?

Excluding all the impossibilities, the biggest possibility is that there is a strong person in Cihang Jingzhai who can make Grandmaster Ning Sanren afraid. This is why he dare not rob it by force and can only exchange favors for the qualification to view it.

"It's you, the powerful Jingzhai who overpowered the Taoist grandmaster and turned him into a running dog of Buddhism." In a moment, nearly a hundred figures appeared behind Fan Qinghui, with seven or eight half-step grandmasters and grandmasters around her. One step away from her was a pretty woman in Haiqing with long hair, about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, and the only Jingzhai disciple with a calm expression.

Following Yang Xuyan's low shout, all the people in Jingzhai, including Fan Qinghui, were shocked and their minds were in a trance for a moment. Only the pretty girl remained calm, her eyes were like a bottomless abyss reflecting everything in the world, but lacked a bit of spirituality, and seemed a little deep.

"Ah~" With a faint sigh, the pretty woman walked out slowly. Seeing this, Fan Qinghui hurriedly stepped aside to make way. The people behind Yang Xuyan looked at each other with an expression of disbelief.

"The donor used Brother Zhenyan's Nine Seals, right? I never thought that Brother Zhenyan would pass on this supreme skill to you. You are not a true member of the Demon Sect, right?" The pretty woman's words scared Yang Xuyan. It was not that she revealed the Nine Seals of Zhenyan, but that she addressed the old monk Zhenyan as: Brother.

"This poor nun is called Liaochen, and my disciple's Dharma name is Liaokong."
