Although he held a long sword in his hand, he did not dare to think of drawing a sword when facing the young man. After practicing Taoism for many years, he had experienced countless life-and-death battles and his intuition told him that if he dared to swing the first sword, the young man would definitely kill him before the master took action.
"If you enter our territory of Tianqi, you are my Tianqi people. If you don't kneel down again, don't blame me for not showing mercy to Longhu Mountain." Li Yi's voice was like a bell.
Xu Yuanchun gritted his teeth and looked behind him at Lin Xiuying, who was already as angry as silk. He could feel that there was an extremely domineering Qi moving around in Lin Xiuying's body at this moment, constantly hitting the meridians everywhere. He tried to get there After expelling this true energy, the true energy poured into his body was not only useless, but also almost backfired on himself by that true energy.
"The poor junior sister is indeed a bit unreasonable, but she has never taken any action against the princess from the beginning to the end. She is only slightly arrogant in her words. The seventh prince's attack is so serious, it is a bit too much. Really Do you think I, Longhu Mountain, is easy to bully?" Xu Yuanchun said angrily.
Ji Qingyuan closed the folding fan in his hand and gently tapped the railing with the fan handle. He looked past Xu Yuanchun. Not far behind him was a tall Taoist priest carrying a sword with an expressionless face.
Next to the Taoist priest who was carrying the sword was the young Taoist priest. The young man had already stopped looking up at the sky. At this time, his eyes were a little dull, as if he was standing there in a daze.
Ji Qingyuan ignored Xu Yuanchun, who was extremely nervous at this time, and focused his attention on the young Taoist priest. "My direct disciple's life is hanging by a thread at the moment. Master Lu Tianshi doesn't seem to be worried at all."
As soon as these words came out, the surroundings were noisy again.
"Is that young man the contemporary Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain Celestial Master's Mansion?"
"Why is he a child? I still think he is an old man who is over fifty years old."
"What do you know? This is the legendary practice of Taoism to a certain extent, and you have reached the state of rejuvenation."
Xu Yuanchun's eyes twitched, and he looked back at the young man behind him, feeling a little shocked.
The high priest who carried the sword narrowed his eyes and stared at the young man on the opposite floor.
The young Taoist priest still did not accept the look, but said softly: "Your Majesty must have recognized the wrong person. Zhang Chen of Xiaodao is only a third-generation disciple of Longhu Mountain. His master is Taoist Master Xu Yuanchun and Xu, and Master Lu Tian is the ancestor of Xiaodao. "
"Oh? It turns out to be Taoist Zhang. That may be due to my blindness." Ji Qingyuan said condescendingly, "Since Master Lu Tianshi is not here, I can rest assured."
rest assured? What are you worried about? Xu Yuanchun was a little puzzled.
Soon, an overwhelming coercion quickly swept in front of him. Xu Yuanchun quickly grabbed Lin Xiuying and retreated, but it was still a step too late. The two of them were crushed to the ground by the coercion. Lin Xiuying, who was already furious, was stunned. I fainted immediately.
Xu Yuanchun didn't care about anything else. He brushed the sword with his fingers, raised the sword, and made a seal with his left hand. An invisible barrier appeared in front of the two of them, blocking out the pressure.
Xu Yuanchun just breathed a sigh of relief. The seventh prince's next move made him curse, but he did not dare to neglect his actions at all. He picked up his junior sister and ran towards the tall Taoist priest and the young man.
Ji Qingyuan changed the folding fan to his left hand, and with the coercion emanating from him as the center, he cleverly avoided the people watching the excitement around him and rushed straight towards the four Taoist priests.
As if deliberately waiting for Xu Yuanchun to take the dying Lin Xiuying and hide behind Gao Dadao, Ji Qingyuan slowly raised his right hand, and then a snow-white long sword made of sword energy appeared in front of him, with the tip pointing directly at the opponent. A young Taoist priest and a high-level Taoist.
Everyone held their breath, and no one dared to whisper to each other at this time. They just stared at the long sword with sword energy, and the killing intent on the sword was directed at the four people without concealment.
The next moment, next to the long sword, an identical long sword quickly condensed. Three, four, five... In just a few breaths, the young prince In front of him and on the roof of the restaurant, tens of thousands of long swords were suspended in the air, targeting only four Taoist priests from Longhu Mountain wearing Taoist robes.
Only then did Xu Yuanchun know what the young prince meant by peace of mind.
Now that I know that Master is not here, I can feel free to take action against myself and others!
When the first long sword appeared, Master Gao reached out and grasped the long sword behind his back, ready to draw the sword at any time. At this time, facing thousands of swords, Daoist Gao had already retracted his hand, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
"As expected of the contemporary Celestial Master of the Celestial Master's Mansion, my disciple can still keep his composure despite being in such a dangerous situation." Ji Qingyuan said with a smile, and then gently waved his fingers forward, and thousands of long swords trembled in the air several times. Then they rushed towards the four Taoist priests downstairs.
"Master, this..." Master Gao looked at the young man beside him and hesitated to speak.
The young Taoist priest sighed softly, stretched out his palms forward, and whispered: "Knot." Then a complex formation appeared in front of the four people from shallow to deep.
The formation slowly shone with golden light and slowly expanded. When the first sword Qi sword came into contact with the formation, it disappeared without a trace after passing through the formation. The long swords that followed it followed one after another. Getting into the formation, it's just that as the number of long swords increases, the formation flashes faster and faster.
"That young man is really the Heavenly Master of the Heavenly Master's Mansion?" Li Yi was surprised when he saw this scene.
Ji Qingyuan nodded lightly, "This Master Lu Tian has actually hidden his aura very well. I was just suspicious at first, not sure.
But when I seriously injured the Taoist nun, there was still a slight fluctuation in the 'qi' around him. Could it be that he was his favorite disciple? I just don’t know why I didn’t take action. Then I had to force him to take action. "
Li Yi sighed: "It is said that Master Lu Tian has lived for three to four hundred years. Unexpectedly, he looks like a boy of fifteen or sixteen years old. It seems that he has really cultivated Taoism to the point of rejuvenation."
Looking at the long sword that was still attacking the formation, Ji Qingyuan knocked on the railing with the folding fan in his hand. The dense group of swords soon stopped attacking and disappeared into the air.
Lu Yiran also waved his hand to disperse the formation, took a few steps forward, and performed a bowing ceremony, "I am the poor Daoist who is Lu Yiran of Longhu Mountain. I am a young disciple who acts in a flamboyant manner, regardless of the consequences, and brings things to such an extent. It's because of poor discipline that I have no rules. I hope that the Seventh Prince can be kind enough to spare this young disciple's life, and that I can apologize to the princess on his behalf."
Even so, Lu Yiran didn't even look at Chu Nianyi who was standing aside. He just looked upstairs expressionlessly, waiting for the young prince's reply.
Ji Qingyuan pretended to be surprised and said: "It is indeed Tianshi Lu. Tianshi is a senior on the mountain. It is not etiquette for me to take action like this. I hope Tianshi will not take it to heart."
Seeing that Master Lu didn't answer, Ji Qingyuan added: "As Master Lu, it is absolutely forbidden to apologize. Since Master Tian has said so, how can I dare to pursue Master Tian's fault? To Tian Master Master takes action, I am naturally a little rude, why don't we just treat this matter as if everyone is at fault and leave it at that?"
Lu Yiran looked at Ji Qingyuan, who had a sincere face. He naturally didn't believe this scene, but it seemed that he couldn't clearly see the young man's strength, not to mention that a war was imminent, so there couldn't be any risk.
Thinking of this, Lu Yiran gave up the idea of testing, nodded, turned around and returned to Lin Xiuying, who was already dying. He placed his palm on her back, and a soft infuriating energy soon entered Lin Xiuying's body and dissolved it. She saw Ji Qingyuan's zhenqi running rampant in her body.
Lu Yiran sensed that although Ji Qingyuan's true energy was flowing everywhere in Lin Xiuying's body, it avoided the heart and several important meridians. It seemed that the young prince was just trying to teach him a lesson and did not actually kill him.
Thinking of this, Lu Yiran's expression softened a bit and he nodded slightly. In this case, after he defeated the man named Zhang, he would just give him a slight lesson.
"Your Majesty, why are the Taoist priests in Longhu Mountain so arrogant? It seems that Lu Yiran doesn't respect the prince very much." Li Yi frowned.
"Longhu Mountain is a big sect and has a certain status in the mountain. This Heavenly Master is also a senior on the mountain. It is said that he is the one with the most profound Taoism in Longhu Mountain for thousands of years. It is normal to be a little arrogant." Ji Qingyuan said with a smile. : "But if he doesn't die at the hands of that Headmaster Zhang in three days, I wouldn't mind fighting for that Headmaster Zhang a little bit."
Li Yi's heart moved, "If the prince takes action now and causes Nalu Yiran to suffer some trouble, won't he inevitably die at the hands of Zhang Zhang in three days?"
Ji Qingyuan shook his head and said: "Longhu Mountain and Wudang Mountain, Zhang Zhang and Lu Tianshi, this battle is related to the reputation and status of the two sects for thousands of years, and the development and continuation of Taoist orthodoxy for thousands of years to come.
Therefore, this battle must be absolutely fair. No matter who it is, neither will nor want to fight with these two people in private at this time. "
Li Yi lowered his head and said: "I understand, it is indeed my lack of consideration."
Ji Qingyuan turned around and waved to the two people behind him. He was already thinking about how to cheat Aunt Liu into some jars of really good wine.
Since you have taken action to save this princess who is loved by everyone, is it not too much to think about getting some benefits?
"General Li, you said we had a slight victory. Shouldn't we celebrate with two bottles of wine?" Ji Qingyuan winked and asked Li Yi to speak first.
Li Yi quickly turned his head to the side, "What the prince said is true, but the general has official duties and cannot drink. However, he can have a few drinks with the prince with tea instead of wine."
Are you kidding me, asking Mrs. Liu for some good wine? Even when His Majesty came in person, Madam Liu still fooled His Majesty with fake wine mixed with half a bottle of water, and His Majesty still smiled and had no objection at all. Anyway, Li Yi naturally doesn't have this ability. The seventh prince has a lot of face. Are you here? Li Yi turned his head and looked outside the railing.
Ji Qingyuan waved his hand and said: "What are you talking about? The emperor sent you to follow me, so naturally everything will follow my arrangements. Your official duty today is to drink with me, and put other matters aside for the time being."
Li Yi quietly glanced at Mrs. Liu who looked at the expressions of the two people with a half-smile, feeling a little drummed in her heart, and then said righteously: "You cannot violate your orders. Even if the prince allows it, your subordinates cannot break the rules."
Ji Qingyuan hated the fact that iron could not become steel. How could this man not get enough oil and salt? As long as he cooperated well and the two of them sang and harmonized, he didn't believe they couldn't make a nice wine.
Forget it, I'd better do it by myself. If that doesn't work, I'll just follow the taste and steal a few jars and run away.
With this in mind, Ji Qingyuan turned his head to meet Liu Ruyan's gaze, pretending to cough twice and clear his throat.
"The prince seems to have something to say?" Liu Ruyan simply walked to the table and sat down again.
"Well, Aunt Liu, I think..." Ji Qingyuan had just finished typing up his manuscript and was preparing to talk loudly, but soon a smell from outside the restaurant interrupted his thoughts.
Before Liu Ruyan could sit firmly in the chair, she glanced at the horizon and quickly walked to the railing. The three of them looked up together.
On the roof not far away, a girl in a blue dress suddenly rushed from the dispersing crowd in the opposite direction to Lu Yiran, who was healing a disciple. She held a purple talisman in her left hand and quickly moved her right hand. Pinjue.
The girl had her hair tied up in a high ponytail, but her somewhat immature face had a look of determination. She was mumbling words, and the charm in her hand began to burn.
After briefly staying on the girl's delicate oval face, Ji Qingyuan turned his attention to the extremely dangerous charm in her hand.
"This is such a deep hatred. This girl did not hesitate to use a Nine Heavens Killing Talisman at the cost of her own life." Ji Qingyuan frowned.
"A spell at the cost of life?" Liu Ruyan asked curiously: "Then how powerful can this be?"
"It is said that the holder of the talisman sacrifices his life to this talisman. When the talisman burns out, a nine-day mysterious thunder will fall from the sky, killing the talisman holder and all living creatures within its range on the spot. Killing can be said to be a way to exchange life for life." Ji Qingyuan explained: "I have only heard of the existence of this spell, but I have never seen it with my own eyes. The most cruel thing about this spell is that, Those who are killed by the Nine Heavens Mysterious Thunder will only end up with their souls scattered, and they will not even have the chance to be reincarnated."
"So, isn't Master Lu Tianshi in danger?" Li Yi looked downstairs. Lu Yiran didn't seem to care that the girl was running towards him with a powerful spell, but lowered his head and continued to give Lin Xiuying Repair broken meridians.
"It seems that the person who gave the talisman to this girl did not tell her how to use this talisman." Ji Qingyuan shook his head, "The Nine Heavens Suppressing Killing Talisman is indeed very powerful, but if the owner of the talisman is killed while the talisman is burning, Or intercept it outside the safe range, then the power of the last talisman will only act on the talisman owner himself."
Li Yi was stunned and looked down. Although the Lu Tianshi still had no reaction, the tall Taoist standing in front of the three of them had the sword behind him slowly unsheathed.
Seeing that Master Gao was holding the sword in his hand, the girl's eyes flashed with panic, but she soon regained her determination, even a little stubborn, and instead accelerated her speed towards the four people.
"Master, she is the daughter of Mr. Nalan's family." Master Gao saw the face of the visitor clearly and sneered: "I have been looking for this girl for a long time, but I didn't expect that she came to my door, just in time to eradicate the root cause."
Lu Yiran did not answer, but Gao Daoren knew that this was what he meant by allowing him to do this.
Seeing that the girl was about fifty steps away from him, Daoist Gao gave a soft drink, stretched out his sword, and pointed it directly at the girl's throat.
Watching the dark sword stabbing at her, the girl gritted her teeth. The moment the tip of the sword was about to touch her throat, she quickly turned her body and allowed the sword to pierce her shoulder and hit Daoist Gao with it. They rushed towards the three people behind.
Daoist Gao did not panic. He stomped his right foot heavily on the ground and stopped the girl with him. At the same time, he turned the sword in his hand. The broad blade of the sword severely tore open the original piercing wound on the girl's shoulder. , the girl suddenly started to sweat profusely in pain, but she still did not stop chanting the spell.
"Are you dying?" The Taoist mocked: "It is certainly a good thing to avenge your parents. Since ancient times, filial piety has been the first thing to do. I naturally admire you. But unfortunately, all I can do for you is to send you and Mom and dad are reunited."
"Are you worthy of mentioning 'goodness'? How ridiculous." The girl stopped reciting the spell, raised the talisman in her hand tremblingly, and rushed forward fiercely. The long sword in the Taoist's hand was completely penetrated by the sword. And out.
The girl used her other hand to tightly hold the Taoist's hand holding the sword, and said angrily: "I can't kill that man named Lu, so it's not a loss for me to have you as a lackey."
After taking a look at the talisman that was about to burn out, Master Gao laughed and said, "It is said that the road to hell is very difficult, so I will not send Miss Nalan away."
After saying that, he struck out with a palm, knocking the girl several feet away, and threw her to the ground, landing among the crowd.
"Damn it, if you shoot that girl into the crowd, you're going to hurt innocent people!" Li Yi said angrily.
Ji Qingyuan's face also darkened, and he looked at Master Gao with a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.
"Look, after the talisman burned, no Nine Heavens Mysterious Thunder fell." Liu Ruyan reminded.
Ji Qingyuan was stunned and turned his gaze. The talisman in the girl's hand had completely turned into a pile of ashes and fell to the ground. However, there was no strange phenomenon in the sky, and not even one or two thunderclouds were seen.
"I came to die with the Taoist priests from Longhu Mountain with the intention of dying, but I got a fake charm from nowhere." Ji Qingyuan shook his head, speechless.
The girl was sitting on the ground, looking at the ashes on the ground in a daze. When the Taoist priest not far away saw this scene, he couldn't help laughing and said: "It seems that God has mercy on Miss Nalan and cannot bear to let Miss Nalan do this." The soul of such a peerless beauty is gone. In that case, it’s better for me to personally send you off on your way.”
Having said that, Master Gao touched the sword with his fingers and rushed towards the girl sitting on the ground at a very fast speed. The air around the sword rippled.
The girl sighed softly, closed her eyes and waited for the sword to strike her. Since I don't have the ability to avenge my parents, I might as well go down and reunite with my parents.
Suddenly, the girl felt that the extremely oppressive sword seemed to have stopped not far in front of her, without taking a step forward. Is it possible that the Taoist priest wants to torture himself again? If so, it would be better to bite his tongue and commit suicide without giving him a chance to humiliate himself.
