The Villain's Counterattack

"Kedazhi is here to visit Miss Feng from the Dugu family!" As one of the four major clans, although the Dugu clan has never stood up to fight for the world, nor has it made a clear statement of who they support, it does not affect their industries all over the world, especially in capitals like Luoyang and Chang'an.

Chang'an City was the old capital of the Sui Dynasty, and the Dugu clan had its own mansion. When Li Tang established Chang'an as the new capital, the industry went through a baptism, and many rising nobles got a share of the pie, but no one dared to openly divide up the Dugu clan's industry.

Dugu Feng is still working in Luoyang City. His status is only second to Wang Shichong. Sometimes he can even compete with Wang Shichong and is not under his command. Dugu Feng appears in Liaodong openly and sometimes takes action in the name of Liaodong. The significance is self-evident.

However, there are still many members of the Dugu clan in Chang'an City, and even quite a few direct members, but it is a little less than that in Luoyang. At least You Chuhong and Dugu Feng are in Luoyang instead of Chang'an.

Even so, no one dared to offend him easily. Dugu Feng also broke into Chang'an City openly and blatantly, and was known by almost all forces in a short time.

"But is it General Dazhi, the number one expert in the Changlin Army?" The servants of wealthy families were different from ordinary gatekeepers, and their interactions were quite refined. After receiving a positive answer, they smiled and said protectively, "Miss Feng has already given instructions, but the general is a rare expert among his peers. There is no need to inform him, he is a distinguished guest of our mansion."

Ke Dazhi was overjoyed when he heard this. Being called an honored guest by the Dugu Clan, one of the four great clans, was indeed a matter of great honor. "I wonder what place I rank on Miss Feng's list of honored guests?"

The guard led Kedazhi into the mansion and continued on his way. Once they passed the main courtyard, they began to veer off the main road. As they walked, they said, "There aren't many distinguished guests on the list. They include Prince Qi, Mei Xun, Xue Wanche, Yan Li, Li Jing, Zhang Chuchen, and more than ten other renowned young warriors in Chang'an. Oh, and there are two others who have caught Miss Feng's eye: the swordsman Mo Wei and the genius doctor Mo Yixin."

"By the way, General Ke ranks first among all people." The gatekeeper said in a low voice, which made Kedazhi smile even more. As the best master of the Changlin Army and a chess piece sent to Chang'an by the Turkic Jie Li Khan, he has his own pride and confidence.

Upon his arrival, he defeated all the Changlin Army without a single opponent, and later was ordered to suppress the Tiance Mansion, defeating all the experts there. If an ordinary expert from the Changlin Army had provoked the Tiance Mansion, Li Yuan would certainly not have ignored it. However, as an assistant sent by the Turks, Dazhi could ignore this, leaving the Tiance Mansion with no way to complain and no place to seek justice.

After passing through a portal, the view ahead suddenly opened up. A fiery red figure was seen holding a three-foot green sword and waving out sword energy. It was exactly the target that Kedazhi came to visit: Dugu Feng, the eldest daughter of the Dugu family.

"You are good and worth a fight." Dugu Feng turned around and landed like a fairy seven feet in front of Kedazhi. She stared at the tall and strong man in front of her and challenged him without saying a word.

"Interesting!" Kedazhi was no ordinary man. The strong fighting spirit and the vague threat emanating from Dugu Feng opposite him made his blood boil. He could no longer lump the extraordinary woman in front of him into the same category as ordinary ladies, and the long sword in his hand quietly came out of its sheath.

In the Chang'an Palace, Emperor Li Yuan of Tang sat in the pavilion, gazing into the distance. Not far away, Chao Gongcuo was holding pieces of intelligence, his face uncertain and with some worry in his eyes.

A young eunuch came quickly and slowed down when he was close to the pavilion. He bent down and presented a piece of information with both hands raised.

"Kadazhi lost, how is this possible?!" Chao Gongcuo stood up suddenly. As Kedazhi's sparring partner during this period, he knew better than anyone how powerful Kedazhi was. If he was not in good shape, he might not be able to defeat this talented Turkic boy. How could he lose?

How dare he lose?!

You must know that achieving Kedazhi is a very important part of your challenge to the Buddha's call and your impact on the Grand Master. Without this part, you will not be very confident of success.

Li Yuan sighed deeply, a trace of helplessness on his face as he said, "The situation I least wanted to see has finally occurred. Uncle-master, Dugu Feng is no ordinary woman. She is a swordsman who learned from Dugu Qiubai and inherited the Dugu Nine Swords. Swordsmen are inherently more powerful than ordinary warriors, let alone a master who has practiced the Dugu Nine Swords and is said to be able to break all martial arts in the world. Kedazhi's defeat was within our expectations."

"I'm afraid it's not just General Kedazhi. The other good players I arranged should have been defeated as well." Li Yuan never had only one backup plan. Xue Wanche and Yan Li followed Kedazhi and were also defeated by Dugu Feng. Their defeats were even more decisive than Kedazhi's.

"Is it really true that there is no one of the same generation in the entire Chang'an City who can defeat Dugu Feng?" Chao Gongcuo was unwilling to give up. Ever since the Buddhist disciple Yin Zhao Guang Ming Zheng Da came to Chang'an City to spread the Dharma, the Yingui Sect's Kan Kan followed closely and challenged the Central Plains Buddhism. They challenged Buddhist temples one after another. All the Buddhist masters in Chang'an City, including the Four Holy Monks, refused to come to his aid even though they were unwilling to give up and broke their teeth.

After that, Dugu Feng left Liaodong and challenged masters of his generation along the way. He was invincible and unstoppable. Even when he arrived in Chang'an City, he was still very successful and attracted much attention.

The defeat of Xue Wanche and Yan Li was not surprising. Although they were also young masters, they were definitely not the best. Li Yuan intended to let them be pawns to explore the way for Kedazhi. He never expected that Kedazhi was even more proud and impulsive than he imagined. He actually rushed to fight Dugu Feng before Xue Wanche and Yan Li.

Since Kedazhi was defeated, how could Xue Wanche and Yan Li escape? This made Chao Gongcuo feel very uncomfortable.

Who to send?

Sect Leader Mei Xun?

Mei Xun may not be Kedazhi's opponent, or he is much inferior to Kedazhi. Moreover, he is proficient in swordsmanship, which puts him at a greater disadvantage against Dugu Feng.

Who else can be used besides Mei Xun?

"Uncle Master, are you planning to take action yourself?" Seeing Chao Gongcuo's anxious look, Li Yuan felt a little dissatisfied. Compared with his elder brother Yue Shan, his uncle Master was somewhat not up to the standard.

When Chao Gongcuo heard Li Yuan's words, he immediately calmed down. If he took action himself, the effect would not be good, and it might even backfire. If he provoked Dugu Qiubai to come out, he was afraid that he would die miserably. Even if Dugu Qiubai stayed in Liaodong City and did not take action, he might not be able to defeat Dugu's old lady You Chuhong.

But the power Dugu Feng had accumulated during this period was exactly what he needed, and he was determined to get it. Seeing that the one-month deadline for the Buddha's summons was approaching, if he did not take action, he would not have a second chance.

"Dugu Feng comes from one of the four great families, or you can say he comes from a family of generals. Corresponding to that are the Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism and Demonism schools. If you want to defeat Dugu Feng, it would be best to find the top figures of the younger generation in these schools." Li Yuan reminded at the right time.

Upon hearing this, Chao Gongcuo suddenly realized, but among the top figures of the younger generation of Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism and Demonism, is there anyone who can really defeat Dugu Feng?

"The Saintess of the Demon Sect, K'an K'an, challenged the Buddhist Sect of the Central Plains. She fought fifteen consecutive battles and defeated fifteen Half-Step Grandmasters and Grandmasters. Unfortunately..."

As Zhu Yuyan's loyal bootlicker, Chao Gongcuo naturally knew about the Yingui Sect's Saint Maiden Kan Kan, and paid much attention to her information. It was a pity that she was now in the Central Plains, too far away from Chang'an, and distant water could not put out a nearby fire.

"The most famous young masters in Daoism in recent years are none other than Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, but they have already established their own factions, intending to compete with us, Li Tang..."

"Right now, it seems the most suitable candidate is none other than the Saintess Shi Feixuan of Cihang Jingzhai, and she happens to be in Chang'an. If..." Li Yuan's words greatly cheered Chao Gongcuo up, and he said hesitantly, "Shi Feixuan is the current Saintess of Cihang Jingzhai. If I were to defeat her, would that displease Cihang Jingzhai, or even the righteous Buddhist sect?"

Li Yuan: Uncle Master, you are really afraid of wolves in front and tigers behind. You are afraid of Cihang Jingzhai, but aren't you afraid of Dugu Clan and Dugu Qiubai?
