Zongwu: Start as Jinyiwei, invincible and powerful!

"Master Shangguan, Miss Wuqing, you two protect the princess. I'll go over and see what's going on."

Lin Fan's eyes flickered as he spoke to Shangguan Haitang and Wuqing.

"Okay," Shangguan Haitang agreed, and Wuqing just nodded.

Lin Fan saluted Princess Yunkang with a fist, then used the Immortal Steps to ascend to heaven. With one step, he instantly arrived on the Jinyiwei ship behind him.

"See my lord!"

When the Jinyiwei on the boat saw Lin Fan coming, they hurriedly saluted respectfully.

"No need to be so polite, just be careful and alert," Lin Fan said casually, waving his hand.

"Yes, my lord!"

Upon hearing this, the Jinyiwei immediately responded respectfully.

At this time, the small boat behind them was also approaching them.

Lin Fan also saw the appearance of the person who came.

The man was about seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a blue shirt, very handsome, and dressed like a scholar.

The two women on the boat were girls about sixteen or seventeen years old.

One of them was wearing a pink long dress, and the other was wearing emerald green clothes. Both of them looked quite good, one was pretty and delicate, and the other was gentle and graceful, each with her own merits.

"Brothers, we are not bad people. We are just being chased by bad guys, so we have no choice but to come closer!"

At this time, the young man on the boat shouted loudly towards the boat where Lin Fan and the Jinyiwei were.

Lin Fan narrowed his eyes and looked behind him. Sure enough, there was another small boat approaching them.

There was only a bald monk on the boat.

The monk's rowing skills were not good, and the boat was swaying in the lake, but the direction of pursuit was correct.

If nothing unexpected happens, the monk should not be able to catch up with the three people in front.

Lin Fan's heart was slightly moved, and he had some guesses about the identities of these people, but he remained calm and asked, "Who are you? Why is that monk behind you chasing you?"

The young man quickly said, "I am Duan Yu, from the Dali Kingdom. The two beside me are Miss Azhu and Miss Abi, both of them are from the Murong family of Gusu."

"Please, for the sake of the Gusu Murong clan, let us pass."

"Is it really them?" Hearing Duan Yu's words, Lin Fan raised his eyebrows slightly and thought to himself that it was indeed the case.

After confirming the identities of Duan Yu and the other two, the identity of the monk behind them is self-evident. He must be the Tibetan state teacher Jiumozhi.

Lin Fan smiled faintly and said, "The Duan clan of Dali and the Murong clan of Gusu are indeed renowned, but they have nothing to do with us. The road ahead is forbidden, so you'd better take a detour!"

Duan Yu said with a smile, "Brother, the lake is so vast, we won't affect you. If we turn back now, I'm afraid he'll kill us. Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. Brother, please be kind!"

Lin Fan's eyes flickered as he asked, "You haven't told me why that monk is chasing you? Also, stop first!"

After saying that, Lin Fan moved slightly and landed on the boat of Duan Yu and the other two. He exerted a little force with his feet, and the boat suddenly stopped in place and could not move.

When Duan Yu and the other two saw this, their faces changed drastically and they groaned inwardly.

Duan Yu bowed to Lin Fan and said, "That big monk was the Tibetan Imperial Master Jiumozhi. He was ignorant of the etiquette of the Central Plains and was very vicious. He wanted to burn me as a sacrifice to Master Murong, so we had no choice but to flee."

"Duan Yu, Jiumozhi," Lin Fan repeated in a low voice, then looked up at Duan Yu, "I seem to remember."

"Rumor has it that the Tibetan Imperial Master, Jiumozhi, once challenged Dali's Tianlong Temple, but later abducted the Prince of Zhennan. It seems you are Duan Yu, the Prince of Zhennan."

Duan Yu smiled apologetically and said, "It was indeed me. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, brother."

"Master Duan, where are you going to escape to?"

At this moment, Jiumozhi's voice was heard from behind, and then Jiumozhi jumped and landed on the boat where Duan Yu and others were.

Because of the obstruction of Lin Fan and the Embroidered Uniform Guards, Jiumozhi's boat caught up with the boat of Duan Yu and the other two.

Duan Yu saw Jiumozhi catching up, and suddenly he felt despair and clasped his fists and said:

"Master, I will follow you. You can burn me or boil me, it doesn't matter. Please let Ah Zhu and Ah Bi go."

"Mr. Duan!" Upon hearing this, Ah Zhu and Ah Bi's expressions changed slightly, and they expressed their concerns.

"Amitabha! Master Duan, as long as you promise me that you will memorize the sword manual, I will let you go."

Jiumozhi put his hands together in a 11-fold gesture, looking like a great and virtuous monk, and said,

"As for the two girls, Ah Zhu and Ah Bi, they are from the family of Murong Bo, my good friend. I will not harm their lives."

As for Lin Fan who was standing next to Duan Yu, Jiumozhi seemed not to have seen him.

Lin Fan's eyes flickered as he said, "Sword manual? I've heard that in Dali's Tianlong Temple, there's a mysterious finger technique called the Six Meridians Divine Sword. It uses finger force to emit sword energy into the air, which is very powerful. Master, are you talking about the Six Meridians Divine Sword's sword manual?"

Jiumozhi was also somewhat surprised when he heard Lin Fan's words. He clasped his hands together and said, "I wonder what this donor's name is? You even know about the Six Meridians Divine Sword?"

"My name is Lin Fan, just a nobody," Lin Fan said casually with a faint smile.

After a pause, Lin Fan looked at Duan Yu and said, "Young Master Duan, if you agree to memorize a copy of the Six Meridians Divine Sword Manual for me, I will save the lives of the three of you. How about that?"

When Duan Yu heard Lin Fan's words, his expression changed slightly, and he didn't know whether he should believe him or not.

Moreover, the Six Meridians Divine Sword is the unique skill of Tianlong Temple. How can it be easily passed on to others?

However, thinking of the lives of Azhu and Abi, Duan Yu hesitated again.

"Haha, this young master seems to be extremely powerful. I'd like to learn a thing or two from him!"

When Jiumozhi heard this, his expression changed and he spoke in a somewhat unhappy tone.

Lin Fan ignored Jiumozhi and looked at Duan Yu and asked, "Mr. Duan, what do you think?"

Duan Yu's expression changed for a moment, and he said in a deep voice, "How do I know if you'll regret it? Besides, you don't look very old, can you defeat Jiumozhi?"

Lin Fan smiled faintly, "How about I help you defeat Jiumozhi first, and then you can memorize the sword manual?"

"Okay, I promise you." Duan Yu was silent for a while, and finally agreed.

Duan Yu himself was not afraid of death, but he did not want to tire out Ah Zhu and Ah Bi and cause them to lose their lives.

"Boy, you are too arrogant! Let me see what makes you so confident!"

When Jiumozhi saw that Lin Fan ignored him, he suddenly became furious.

As the voice fell, Jiumozhi's internal energy gathered in his right palm. In an instant, his right palm turned scarlet.

A red flame appeared in front of his palm, which was Jiumozhi's signature Flame Blade!

Jiumozhi waved his right palm, and the flaming knife left his body and slashed towards Lin Fan's chest as fast as lightning!

"careful!"

Duan Yu had seen the power of Jiumozhi's flaming sword, his face changed, and he quickly shouted a warning to Lin Fan.

Ah Zhu and Ah Bi couldn't help but worry about Lin Fan.

After all, only if Lin Fan defeats Jiumozhi can they get rid of this evil monk Jiumozhi!
