The Villain's Counterattack

"It seems that you succeeded." Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, who were excited about Ba Fenghan's recovery, suddenly heard a strange yet familiar voice in their ears.

"Master!" The two men jumped three feet high, turned around hurriedly and saw the Taoist behind them. A bright smile instantly appeared on their faces. Ba Fenghan saw the person coming and felt relieved at the same time.

Xiaoyaozi just moved slightly and waved his hand. A small piece of cloth fell in the wind and was caught by Kou Zhong.

Ba Fenghan and Xu Ziling were both outstanding people with extraordinary memories. They could naturally see that the cloth was unevenly torn, which was obviously torn off by someone. The color and quality of the cloth looked very familiar.

"Bi Xuan!" Ba Fenghan slowly uttered two words, and Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling's eyes suddenly narrowed.

Xiaoyaozi (Yang Xuyan) chuckled and said, "I was bored, so I traveled the world on foot. When I passed through the grassland, I sensed the aura of a great master, so I followed him. I didn't intend to meddle in other people's business, but when I saw someone bullying my disciple, I felt angry and ran up to him to scare him. I never thought..."

Kou Zhong was so moved that he almost burst into tears: "Master, in order to get your disciple out, you beat up Martial Master Bi Xuan?"

Xu Ziling and Ba Fenghan never believed that Martial Master Bi Xuan would be stronger than Xiaoyaozi. After all, they were people who had inherited part of the Xiaoyao Sect's tradition and had no doubt about the so-called profoundness of the Xiaoyao Sect. However, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling knew that they were of humble origin and were only nominal disciples. They could not compare to their three senior sisters who were direct descendants. They never thought that their master would actually fight Martial Master Bi Xuan for them.

I just don’t know, “How did Master scare Bi Xuan?” Kou Zhong was very curious about this question.

Xiaoyaozi briefly recounted the entire process before continuing, "Ba's injuries would indeed appear serious to others, but in my Xiaoyao Sect's view, they're merely ordinary. As long as he survives, recovery shouldn't be difficult. I originally intended to let you two endure some setbacks to temper your mindset before attacking. I never imagined you two would be so ingenious and use the Sun-Changing Art to cleanse his muscles and marrow, breaking through and then rebuilding. I'm afraid the Grandmaster realm isn't far off. Excellent! Excellent! Excellent!"

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were overjoyed to receive Xiaoyaozi's approval. Ba Fenghan was slapped on the shoulder by Xiaoyaozi, and even more pure and powerful longevity true energy gushed out, and he recovered almost half of his health almost instantly.

"Sure enough, Master is Master!" Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling's admiration for Xiaoyaozi has never changed. Even now that they are considered to be among the top masters in the entire Central Plains, there has been no change, and they are even more certain.

"I am very pleased with your growth. There will be a gathering of grand masters on the top of Mount Tai during the Mid-Autumn Festival next year. If you are interested, you can also participate. As the leader, I can still do this." Yang Xuyan has his reasons for preparing to hold a gathering of grand masters during the Mid-Autumn Festival next year. One year is enough to conquer Japan and Luzon, and then the real cause of unification will begin. It is imperative to expose part of the strength to shock the world.

Are you talking about aristocratic families and Buddhism?

Yang Guang is no pushover. His net has already spread all over the world. One year is enough to change many things. The Buddhist sect, led by Yin Zhao, fought fiercely around Mount Emei. While continuously investing and consuming resources, the Buddhist sect in the Central Plains was also suffering from the suppression of "Mr. Li Fan" and the Demon Sect. One year is almost over.

"Master, are there many great masters hidden in the Central Plains?" Kou Zhong couldn't help but ask. After all, as the commander of the young marshal's army and a lord with ambitions for the world, Kou Zhong was very concerned about the existence of those who could influence the world's situation.

"Any Grandmaster could be a national treasure, how could there be so many?" Xiaoyaozi said irritably. "Grandmasters are all beings who have realized their own Dao. How could there be so many powerful people who have realized their own Dao? Martial Master Bi Xuan dominated the grasslands for decades, suppressing other tribes and races. Sword Master Fu Cailin single-handedly caused the Sui Emperor to return empty-handed after three expeditions to Goguryeo. Just remember how invincible the Sui Dynasty was at its peak, deploying a million-strong army."

Xiaoyaozi casually commented on several great masters who had been exposed, such as the wanderer Ning Daoqi, the evil king Shi Zhixuan, the Queen of Yin Zhu Yuyan, the Duke of Chu Yang Xuangan, the Yin Gui Saint Wanwan, the Buddhist disciple Yin Zhao, and the Heavenly Sword Song Que, which already made Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling, and Ba Fenghan's scalps tingle.

After casually teaching the three people a few skills of Xiaoyao Sect, Xiaoyaozi wanted to leave. Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling tried to keep him, but Xiaoyaozi was determined to leave and there was no way they could stop him.

"Master, where are you going next? Do you need your help suddenly?" Xu Ziling felt closer to Xiaoyaozi.

Xiaoyaozi shook his head and chuckled, "I'm not that pampered. The reason I brought your senior sister with me on my journey through the Central Plains wasn't to have her accompany me and serve me, but more to give her some training and to teach her martial arts. You two built your foundations with the 'Eternal Life Secret', and now that your foundation is established, you don't need an incompetent master like me to dictate your decisions. When you reach the Grandmaster level, your master's role will be less significant, and what remains will be more about your own understanding."

"The Mohe tribe's leader, Dragon King Bai Ziting, is ambitious and wants to establish the Bohai Kingdom. This move is bound to anger the Turks. To dominate the Turkic frontier, they will not allow the Mohe tribe to grow stronger, and a war is inevitable." Xiaoyaozi said, "As the strongest man on the grassland, Wu Zun Bi Xuan's deterrence is too strong. The Golden Wolf Army is brutal and ruthless. If they attack with all their might, the Mohe tribe will be unstoppable."

Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling, and Ba Fenghan exchanged glances. Kou Zhong's heart stirred slightly as he asked, "Master, are you planning to lure out Martial Honored Bi Xuan alone, and then have the disciples and others assist the Mohe tribe in resisting the Turkic Golden Wolf Army?"

Xiaoyaozi shook his head lightly and said indifferently, "Let everything be as fate dictates. Just be clear in your conscience. And if Master is right, Bi Xuan will not pursue me alone. Instead, he will mobilize the Turkic tribes and dispatch an army of 100,000. Otherwise, he will not be pursuing Master, but seeking his own death."

Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling, and Ba Fenghan had all experienced the pain of being hunted by cavalry before, and their expressions of worry were palpable. Xiaoyaozi laughed heartily and said, "Fools, if I want to leave, no one in the world can stop me. Not to mention a hundred thousand Turkic wolf soldiers, even a million-strong army wouldn't be enough. Take care of yourselves. I hope to see you at the summit of Mount Tai next Mid-Autumn Festival."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiaoyaozi waved his sleeves and walked ten feet away. It didn't seem like his movements were very violent. In the blink of an eye, only a small black dot was left. When he looked again, he had disappeared.

Ba Fenghan took a deep breath, "What a powerful Qinggong! Even an ordinary thousand-mile horse can't match it. No wonder it's not afraid of the Turkic wolf army."

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling looked at each other and said at the same time, "I really want to learn!"

Ba Fenghan:? ? ? ?

Xiaoyaozi: I am afraid that no one in the world can perform the conventional method of Xiaoyao Yufeng except me.

"This time, I was defeated by Bi Xuan and broke my own shackles. I need to concentrate on training for a period of time in the future to make a breakthrough. I am afraid I can no longer accompany you. What are your plans?" Ba Fenghan knew that the opportunity was rare, and he was not the kind of person who would act childishly. Although he had a good relationship with Kou Xu, he was unwilling to give up this opportunity for improvement.

"Listen to Master and be a good disciple!" Kou Zhong's eyes flashed. Xu Ziling shrugged and said, "Master wouldn't say that for no reason. There must be something that involves us. The Dragon King is worshipping Ziting. He seems to be an important figure."
