The Villain's Counterattack

The Yingui Sect's Saintess, Kankan, led her two elders Yunxia, ​​four spirits, eight Kui, and sixteen servants, a total of thirty women, and challenged the temples one by one from the south of the Yangtze River. The forces of the four great saints were no exception. Wherever they passed, the monks were defeated and sent letters for help to Chang'an.

On the other side, Dugu Feng, the proud daughter of the Dugu clan, set out from Liaodong alone with a sword in hand, challenging all masters of the same age wherever she went. However, the so-called masters of the same age were restricted to those under 40 years old. With her Dugu Nine Swords, no one could match her, and she destroyed more than ten sects and nearly a hundred small and medium-sized forces.

The Buddhist disciple Yin Zhao held a Dharma Assembly, and the Li Tang Emperor led all the princes who were members of the assembly to attend. Several great Confucian scholars of the Li Tang court personally took action but were defeated. The Tang Emperor Li Yuan personally recruited the Buddhist disciple and wanted to grant him the position of military advisor, but was rejected by Yin Zhao. Li Yuan was not angry but happy and praised him highly.

The next day, Master Liaokong from Jingnian Zen Temple came to Chang'an. He glanced at Fozi Yinzhao from afar and turned away, leaving a message that he would challenge Fozi Yinzhao after fasting for three days. All the monks in Chang'an were shocked.

Two days later, the Turkic Imperial Preceptor Zhao Deyan personally attended the Dharma Assembly. The two debated for two hours, each with a draw, but the Buddhist disciple Yin Zhao gained a slight advantage. A fierce battle ensued, during which Yin Zhao, displaying his martial prowess to the fullest, severely wounded and forced Zhao Deyan into retreat. Had he not been in Chang'an, where the Li Tang dynasty treated the Turks with such favor and where hundreds of Turkish cavalrymen were waiting with drawn swords, it's possible Yin Zhao might have defeated him.

However, Zhao Deyan is the Turkic national teacher, the leader of the Demonic Sect, and a top master. Even if he is defeated by Yin Zhao, he is not so easy to kill. If he wants to leave, unless Yin Zhao joins forces with the four great monks, it will be difficult to keep him.

"The Buddha's strength is outstanding, and our national master admires him. However, the strongest Turk is definitely not our national master. Now that our national master has been defeated, the Buddha's son will face Lord Wu Zun next. I hope the Buddha's son will not let Lord Wu Zun down." Zhao Deyan left after leaving a sentence that was not sure whether it was a threat or a reminder.

There are also rumors that Shi Feixuan, the successor of Cihang Jingzhai, has already set off for Chang'an with a special order granted by Cihang Jingzhai.

The detailed information shocked Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling. They felt more and more that they could not see through this Baozi sister who should be simple and ordinary but became more and more magical.

"Sister Zhenzhen, what is your relationship with Master?" Xu Ziling suddenly thought of something and asked.

Kou Zhong was immediately cheered up when he heard this, and suddenly thought of the first time he saw that this sister was extraordinary. She was the person left by her master in Yangzhou to take care of her. At first, she was just an ordinary person, but later she learned that her master had great magical powers and an amazing background. Thinking about it carefully, if this sister was an outer member of the Xiaoyao Sect, there was no way she could be ordinary and simple.

Xiaoyao Sect has its own master, the Grandmaster, so it is certainly not easy. What's more, there are three senior sisters, Dugu Feng, Shang Xiuxun and Shan Wanjing. How can the power be simple? It's just that the master doesn't seem to clearly support the idea of ​​​​conquering the world. The three senior sisters have a closer relationship with Liaodong than with the two of them.

It was just that they had always been reluctant to delve into this relationship, even subconsciously avoiding thinking too much about it to avoid any distracting thoughts. But when they truly realized the strength of the Xiaoyao Sect and the support they could get, they couldn't help but express their excitement.

This temptation was quickly dispelled. Kou Zhong was a man who knew how to be grateful. If he truly wanted to support me, there was no need for me to ask for it. He had previously let me go, then stepped forward to help me with my marrow cleansing and teach me many profound martial arts, and then arranged for me to undergo training. Now, not only did he allow me to take Yang Gong's treasure, but he also passed on so much helpful information to me through Sister Zhenzhen.

It’s better not to delve into it too deeply. Kou Zhong quickly adjusted his attitude.

Feng Zhenzhen chuckled and said, "I'm just a little maidservant under the master, and a veteran maidservant who's been abandoned. I can't compare to the two registered disciples who have already entered. Alas, I haven't seen the master in a long time since he abandoned me in Yangzhou City. I really envy you two boys. Tsk tsk, you are experienced Grandmasters, not far from the peak of the Grandmaster level, right? You are worthy of being valued by the master and are expected to become a Grandmaster."

"Master, are you so optimistic about us? Hahahaha, I knew it. Our Yangzhou Twin Dragons are indeed geniuses. Hahaha~" Kou Zhong laughed proudly, Feng Zhenzhen covered her mouth and giggled, only Xu Ziling's face was slightly solemn, his eyes flashing as he stared at the information in his hand.

"What did Master Ling see?" He never underestimated the wisdom of his brother, and he never thought it was too much to value him.

"Ever since Gentleman Jian Yue announced the method to achieve Grandmaster status, many veteran Grandmasters have been eager to take action. As the leading righteous sect in the Central Plains, Buddhism is naturally no exception. After all, the Daoists have Master and Master Ning, the Demonic Sect has the Evil King and the Queen, and even the Military Sect has Lord Chu. If Buddhism wants to maintain its status, a Grandmaster is essential."

Xu Ziling said in a deep voice, "The Four Saintly Monks are old, their spirits and energy beginning to wane. Knowing they can't make it past the Heavenly Gate, they've joined forces to cultivate a Grandmaster-level disciple, the Buddha's disciple Yin Zhao. The Four Saintly Monks have put in a lot of effort for this Buddha's disciple. First, they had him lead the pilgrimage to India, bringing the great power of the Indian Buddhist sect with him. Then, they brought three thousand monks from the four great Zen sects to support him, and held a grand Dharma Assembly in Chang'an."

"They have only one goal, to gather the luck and reputation of Buddhism and create a great Buddhist master." Xu Ziling's words fell to the ground with a loud voice. Kou Zhong nodded slightly. He also noticed this, and then he heard Xu Ziling's tone change.

"He is just a great master from the Central Plains Buddhist sect. Many people don't want to see him. Aliens and demon sects will be the first to suffer, so..." Xu Ziling picked out two pieces of information, and Kou Zhong's eyes narrowed.

"Young Master Ling means that the Turkic Martial Lord Bi Xuan will definitely go to Chang'an to snipe Yin Zhao's Buddhist disciple?" Kou Zhong naturally knew which Chang'an with a grandmaster or Chang'an without a grandmaster would be more conducive to their actions.

Although the two men are extremely talented and have the true energy of "The Secret of Immortality" in their bodies, they have only practiced martial arts for a short time and cannot compare with the real grandmasters. Even if they are half-step grandmasters, they will find it difficult to resist them. If they join forces, they can only defeat the peak grandmasters head-on.

"Compared to Martial Honored Bi Xuan, the demon girl K'an K'an has done more harm to Buddhism. She doesn't directly summon the Buddhist disciples, but instead starts from the Central Plains Buddhist sect, trying to step on Buddhism to become a Grandmaster. This is a disguised way of using the luck and reputation of the Central Plains Buddhist sect to become a Grandmaster. If she succeeds, even if the Buddhist disciples are successfully summoned, they will not be perfect Grandmasters. By then, the strength of Buddhism and the Demon Sect will no longer be balanced. The rise of the Demon Sect will be unstoppable!" Xu Ziling's words made Kou Zhong and Feng Zhenzhen fall into deep thought.

"So there's such a method. Then Dugu Feng..." Feng Zhenzhen suddenly thought of Dugu Feng's sword test around the world. Could it be that she wanted to use the world's masters to become a Grandmaster? This...

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling looked at each other and shook their heads at the same time, "This is impossible!"

Senior Sister Dugu Feng is testing the sword around the world because she is definitely itching to do it. She is a pure martial arts fanatic and would not think too much about it. At most, she is being pushed by her master. This may be a test given by her master.

However, isn't it a bit inappropriate for Senior Sister to challenge herself all the way to Chang'an at this time? Although Senior Sister is powerful, she is still quite far from being a grandmaster. If she really encounters a pervert like Yin Zhao, will her gathering process be interrupted and she will eventually become Yin Zhao, the Buddhist disciple?

Dugu Feng: Oh, the purpose is exposed?
