The Villain's Counterattack

This pretty girl who looks only twenty-five or twenty-six years old is actually the sister of Master Lekong of Jingnian Zen Temple?

All those who were unaware of the situation were shocked. Yang Xuyan remained calm and nodded slightly, saying, "As the saying goes, monks and nuns are family. I understand, I understand."

Fan Qinghui frowned when he heard this. Yang Yi and Yang Ke looked at each other and couldn't help but burst out laughing. However, the 108 innate assassins behind them were silent and didn't dare to laugh in such an occasion. It was probably because the assassins of the Bu Tian Dao who could reach this point today were all shrewd people. They thought that their innate level skills might be a bit inferior to the present, and they had no right to laugh at this nun.

Who is Master Liaokong?

The head of Jingnian Zen Temple is a powerful master who is no less powerful than any of the four great monks. He has single-handedly managed Jingnian Zen Temple into a Buddhist holy land. Is he making fun of his sister?

Haha, I’m tired of living.

Moreover, they heard clearly that their boss said that this woman could overpower the Taoist Grandmaster and beat him into a dog. Who else could this Taoist Grandmaster be other than the wandering man Ning Daoqi?

They have no right to laugh at a Buddhist master who can defeat Ning Sanren.

"I just don't know what your relationship is with the Evil Emperor Xiang Yutian?" Yang Xuyan's next words surprised everyone. The pretty woman with the Buddhist name Liaochen's eyes flashed with surprise, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth. "Why do you say that, benefactor?"

Yang Xuyan laughed heartily and said, "You have come too far on the path to becoming a Grandmaster, far beyond the reach of ordinary practitioners of the Cihang Sword Canon. The only possibility I can think of is the origin of the Cihang Sword Canon. Coupled with your self-exposure of your age, this is why I have this guess. I wonder if what I said is true?"

Nun Liaochen was silent for a moment before she chanted a Buddhist name and sighed softly, "My Buddhist name is Liaochen. My worldly past has gone with the wind, so it's better not to mention it."

Upon hearing this, Yang Xuyan shook his head slightly and said nonchalantly, "Nun Tai is indeed worthy of being a monk. In that case, please step aside for the time being. I will discuss this with Nun Tai after I have destroyed Cihang Jingzhai."

Nun Liaochen burst out laughing and said, "Young benefactor, since you know that I am a disciple of Jingzhai and you are also very curious about Li Ningdao, why do you still say such childish words? Do you think that I am good-tempered and will not really do anything to you? You must know that you are not a disciple of the righteous Taoist sect, but the leader of the demon sect."

"The nun is a true monk. How can these mortals trouble the nun to protect her? For the sake of the nun's pure cultivation, let me deal with them. This will also give the nun a true place for pure cultivation."

"You are the first person I have ever met who can describe invasion and slaughter in such a refreshing and justifiable way."

"Thank you, thank you. As the saying goes, the truth is the strength of the heart. I have a clear conscience and can do this. Master, you don't have to thank me. For the sake of the people of the world, even if my hands are stained with blood, I am happy to do it."

As soon as Yang Xuyan opened his mouth, Master Liaochen didn't do anything, but Fan Qinghui was almost furious. "What do you mean by that? Are you actually following our lead and using the people of the world as an excuse?"

Nun Liaochen didn't give Fan Qinghui a chance to speak. She knew full well that she was facing a very powerful being, one that Fan Qinghui, who wasn't even a Grandmaster, couldn't face directly. With a smile on her face, she asked, "I wonder what brings you here, benefactor?"

Yang Xuyan raised his hands diagonally to the sky and said, "I am here by the order of Emperor Wu to eradicate the cancer of Cihang Jingzhai."

"What is Emperor Wu?"

"The Supreme Being of the Martial World, with invincible magical powers, rules the martial arts world, and no one dares to disobey."

"What a pretentious title! When did the world of martial arts finally have a supreme master? Even Taoist Ning, Fu Cailin, and Bi Xuan wouldn't dare to brag like this." Master Lechen curled her lips in disdain.

Yang Xuyan laughed heartily and said, "Who is the Martial Emperor? His subordinates dare not speak frankly. Under him are four kings, eight dukes, twelve marquises, and thirty-six earls. The four kings and eight dukes can only be held by Grandmasters, and the titles of marquis and earl can only be held by senior masters. They are responsible for formulating and maintaining the rules and order of the entire martial arts world."

"Oh, I wonder what position the young donor holds?" Master Liaochen couldn't help but become interested.

Yang Xuyan shook his head slightly and said, "I am the Lord of Heaven's Way. The Way of Heaven is to reduce the excess and replenish the deficiency; the Way of Man is to reduce the deficiency and increase the excess. Therefore..."

"Is that so?"

"So, I am not a king, not a duke, not a marquis, not an earl, but just the commander of the secret guards under the Emperor Wu." Yang Xuyan's words shocked Fan Qinghui. She vaguely guessed that this person who could have an equal dialogue with the final big boss of Cihang Jingzhai was a grandmaster, and not an ordinary grandmaster, but at least a senior grandmaster whose strength was above that of the casual man Ning Daoqi.

But even such a person is still not a so-called prince under Emperor Wu, but the commander of the secret guards. You can know what he does just by hearing his name, but it is definitely not an easy job.

"Oh, my young benefactor, with such strength, is it that you are not a prince but a mere commander? Could it be that the four princes and eight dukes are already full? However, I find it hard to believe it."

Yang Xuyan shook his head naturally and said, "That's not the case. It's not easy to fill the four kings, eight dukes, and twelve grandmasters. Currently, the grandmasters under the Martial Emperor, apart from me, the leader of the secret guards, are the Evil King, the Queen of Yin, the Sword Lord, the Spear Saint, the Free and Easy King, and the Medicine King. The others are only half-step grandmasters, holding the title temporarily and could be replaced by a true grandmaster at any time."

Fan Qinghui was shocked upon hearing this. Besides the so-called Invincible Martial Emperor and the Commander of the Dark Guards, they actually had six Grandmasters?! How could this be possible? Furthermore, the Evil King and the Queen of Yin had actually joined the so-called Martial Emperor's ranks. The thought of it was unbelievable.

It is no longer a secret that Zhu Yuyan was promoted to Grandmaster. When you think about the fact that the Evil King Shi Zhixuan, who has always been suppressing her, was able to be promoted to Grandmaster, it does not seem so incredible. Then the King of Freedom is most likely the Grandmaster Xiaoyaozi of the hidden sect Xiaoyao School. The Spear Saint may be Yang Xuangan, who revealed his Grandmaster strength in the battle for the Heshi Bi in Jingnian Zen Temple.

Could this Dao Gong be Song Que?

Fan Qinghui has some confidence that Song Que possesses the combat power of a grandmaster, but she is somewhat skeptical as to whether he has reached the level of a grandmaster. As for the Medicine King, she has only one candidate in mind: Miaoying Zhenren.

But why is there no place for the slovenly Taoist priest or the drunken monk? The more so, the more believable it is. After all, it is impossible for the so-called Martial Emperor to bring all the hermits and masters of Buddhism and Taoism into his command. Cihang Jingzhai and the Four Great Saints can't find a drunken monk.

"Why would Emperor Wu want to destroy Jingzhai? Not to mention that it's for the benefit of the people of the world, I don't believe it." Master Liaochen didn't know whether the grandmaster agreed with what Yang Xuyan had revealed, so the topic turned back to Cihang Jingzhai.

Yang Xuyan chuckled and said, "This is all about the Cihang Sword Canon. Since the Evil King has already joined the Martial Emperor's fold, then Bi Xiuxin, the Evil King's consort, is no exception. However, her strength is only a half-step to Grandmaster, which is a bit lacking, and she doesn't deserve the title of Evil Consort. In order to promote Bi Xiuxin's transformation and advancement to Grandmaster, the Martial Emperor has specially ordered me to destroy Cihang Jingzhai and promote Bi Xiuxin's advancement."

Killing an entire family just to help the other person advance? Fan Qinghui frowned at the words, but Master Liaochen suddenly frowned, pondered for a moment, and then nodded slightly, saying, "If Bi Xiuxin is really already a half-step grandmaster, this move may really succeed."

Fan Qinghui and others were shocked when they heard this, and cast incredulous looks at him.

Yang Xuyan unsheathed his sword, pointed his finger at Master Chen, and said with a smile, "Since that's the case, please grant me your blessing! Oh, I forgot to mention that the Martial Emperor has supernatural powers and is a very thoughtful person. He's currently waiting for news at the foot of the mountain, accompanied by the Evil King, the Queen of Yin, and ten other masters of the Demon Sect."
