Taiping Inn

The palace official took a glance and saw that Huangfu Yuxiu, Feng Munian, and Fan Hui were among them, but they were all seriously injured.

On the Confucian side, Xie Heng was still the leader, and his number was second only to the Wudao Sect disciples.

On the Taoist side, the number of ordinary disciples was the least, but there were many masters, led by a man and a woman, who were both acquaintances of the palace official, Shangguan Wan and Ning Yi.

The palace official was shocked, Ning Yi had arrived, which meant that the people from the inn had arrived.

But there was no sign of Wu Xian, which should be because Wu Xian was alone and had to retreat under the pressure of Confucianism and Taoism.

At the same time, others also noticed Gong Guan and Li Ruqi.

Shangguan Wan was the first to speak: "Sister Gong finally showed up."

The palace official bowed: "It's Sister Shangguan, long time no see."

Ning Yi also bowed: "Miss Gong."

The palace official returned the greeting: "Mr. Ning."

At the beginning, the two were in the same female sect and worked together. They were like-minded, but later one followed Li Xuandu and the other followed Tan Taiyun, and they went their separate ways.

Ning Yi held the heads of the two swords on her waist with both hands and said, "Miss Gong, we are here today not to make things difficult for your clan, but for the young man behind you."

The palace official knew it, and after a moment of silence, he asked, "Who is this young man?"

Ning Yi and Shangguan Wan looked at each other, and Shangguan Wan asked, "Doesn't Miss Gong know?"

The palace official said, "Whether I know is my business, and now I want to hear from Sister Shangguan."

Shangguan Wan looked at Ning Yi again, and Ning Yi said, "Well, this matter can't be hidden from the Confucian sect after all."

Xie Heng looked indifferent and indifferent.

Ning Yi continued, "If I tell you the truth, I wonder if Miss Gong is willing to hand over the person?"

Before the palace official spoke, Li Ruzhen said, "Don't even think about it."

Ning Yi looked at Li Ruzhen, his hands slid from the head of the knife to the handle, and said slowly, "It seems that you are unwilling, but I want to learn from you."

Feng Mu Nian came to the palace official and whispered, "Your Excellency, the situation is critical now, and we should not get involved. Let them fight each other, and we will just watch from the sidelines."

The palace official's face changed and hesitant.

In the current situation, it is really difficult for the Confucian and Taoist families to guard against each other and subdue Li Ruzhen.

At this moment, Ning Yi drew the two swords at his waist and walked forward slowly.

Shangguan Wan, Lan Xuanshuang, Li Shixing, Zhong Wu, Wang Zhongfu, Li Daotong and others guarded against the Confucian school.

Although Ning Yi was only at the Immortal Realm, he had two magical weapons in his hands, and was not much inferior to the Grandmaster at the Heavenly Man Creation Realm.

If it was the previous Li Ruqi who faced Ning Yi, he would not be Ning Yi's opponent at all. Ning Yi thought so too, but she did not expect that Li Ruqi had a lot of opportunities in Wuxu Palace in just one day, and he was no longer the same as before, and he was really not afraid of Ning Yi at all.

Li Ruqi said: "You want to rely on weapons to bully me? Do you dare to compete with me in swordsmanship?"

Ning Yi hesitated for a moment, threw the "Grandmaster" in his hand to Li Ruqi, and said: "I'd like to learn from you."

Li Ruqi caught the "Grandmaster" and felt a familiar feeling of freedom in his heart, and the "Magic Knife" swordsmanship he had seen in Wuxu Palace before came to his mind.

So Li Ruqi made a "Magic Knife" starting posture according to his memory.

Ning Yi's face changed: "Is this 'Heaven and Earth are my way'?"

The next moment, a flash of knife light appeared, and Li Ruqi was already close to Ning Yi. The knife was crooked and obviously had no strength, and it was even more chaotic.

But Ning Yi did not dare to be careless.

Song Zheng's "Magic Knife" and Qin Qing's "Heaven Knife" are two completely different extremes. The "Heaven Knife" is extremely precise, anticipating the enemy's moves and controlling everything, while the "Magic Knife" seeks an unspeakable intuition and uses the body's instinct to strike. The "Heaven Knife" controls the knife with the person, while the "Magic Knife" controls the person with the knife, so it is reasonable to call it the "Magic Knife".

In short, even the knife user does not know when the right time is before striking, but strikes with instinct, so there will be no murderous intent before striking, which makes it even more difficult to detect and predict.

People like Li Ruqi who do not understand knife skills are most suitable for the "Magic Knife", and let the "Magic Knife" control himself.

The two fought in one place, and Li Ruqi, relying on his higher realm and cultivation than Ning Yi, actually gained the upper hand.

Shangguan Wan saw this scene, and his face sank, secretly cursed "pedantic", and winked at Zhong Wu.

Zhong Wu understood and walked to the side quietly.

Ning Yi was born in a Confucian school and was a decent person. The Yin-Yang Sect was never pedantic, but inherited the style of the geomancer.

Just when Ning Yi and Li Ruqi were fighting hard, Zhong Wu suddenly jumped out and punched Li Ruqi's back.

In theory, the "magic knife" relied on instinct and intuition to strike, so even if it was one against many, it would not reveal any flaws. However, Li Ruqi was a beginner after all, and his instinct and intuition were far from comparable to Song Zheng, and there was also Ning Yi's entanglement. Zhong Wu was not a mediocre hand, and Li Ruqi was hit hard in the back by Zhong Wu.

Although Ning Yi was somewhat unhappy, he also knew that the overall situation was more important, and did not reject Shangguan Wan's "good intentions".

Zhong Wu's punch was so powerful that even Wu Zhen did not dare to resist it without any defense.

Li Ruqi's body emitted a sound like a huge bell, and the whole person flew out in the air and fell heavily to the ground, motionless, as if he had died.

A strange color flashed across Zhong Wu's face, and the five fingers that were clenched into a fist slowly loosened, and even the whole right hand was shaking slightly, obviously affected by the recoil force.

The palace official showed anger on his face. He wanted to make some moves, but stopped abruptly. He just looked at Li Ruqi, fearing that he would die. However, at this time, the palace official also realized that something was wrong. If this young man was really Li Xuandu, then the Taoists would not take such a heavy hand.

Could it be that he guessed wrong, he was not Li Xuandu?

At this moment, Li Ruqi's back moved, and he struggled to sit up slowly, but his elbows could only support him a few feet high, and he couldn't support it again. A large mouthful of blood spurted out and fell to the ground again. He was drowsy and remembered many things. But they were all messy and disturbing, and there was no clue.

Li Ruqi took a deep breath and finally sat up abruptly, but he was trembling and could fall again at any time. Everyone couldn't help but hold their breath, and you could hear a pin drop.

Zhong Wu's punch was enough to injure a great master of the Heavenly Man-Made Realm, but Li Ruzhen had a special physique. At the critical moment, the "Huantian Taiyuan Sutra" in his body started to work automatically, dissipating most of the punch for him.

Then the bluestone hanging on Li Ruzhen's chest flashed with blue light, and his injuries recovered, and he slowly stood up again.

Ning Yi picked up the "Grand Master" dropped by Li Ruzhen, put the two swords back to his waist, and said slowly: "Now I can tell Miss Gong that it is the 'Eternal Life Stone'."

At this time, a woman's voice sounded softly: "What I want is the 'Eternal Life Stone'."

Then a female priest fell from the sky, grabbed Li Ruzhen, and wanted to take him away.

Xie Heng and Lan Xuanshuang attacked the female priest at the same time.

Wang Zhongfu, Li Shixing and others did not move, but just stared at other Confucianists. Although only one great priest came to the Confucianists this time, there were two deputy mountain masters, who were not mediocre.

The most striking one was Shangguan Wan, who had no intention of attacking.

Ning Yi took the opportunity to retreat to Shangguan Wan's side and asked, "What time is it now?"

Shangguan Wan said, "It's already the beginning of the afternoon."

Ning Yi said, "Now it seems that it is impossible for us to take away the three worms in the corpse directly under the noses of the Confucian School, the Wudao Sect, and Wuxian, and send them back to the East China Sea safely. We can't afford this risk, so we can only..."

Before he finished speaking, Ning Yi had taken out the "Flower in the Mirror" from his sleeve and threw it into the air.

At the same time, the "Moon in the Water" thrown into the sea by Li Xuandu really turned into a huge bright moon, just like the reflection of the moon in the sky projected on the sea, and the White Dragon Tower Ship was just in the middle of the moon shadow.

The next moment, the moon shadow suddenly became blurred, ripples appeared, and then the White Dragon Tower Ship began to slowly sink, not into the sea, but into the moon shadow.

There were waves of sound coming from above the Ye Ting.

Then a huge bow like a dragon's head appeared from the "Flower in the Mirror", followed by the snow-white hull, and then the stern. There were still traces of water vapor on the boat, but the hull was not wet like a lotus leaf. Water droplets were visible to the naked eye, and a hazy drizzle fell under the boat.

It was as if a white dragon was carrying a pavilion from the depths of the sea to the sea of ​​clouds, and wherever it passed, wind and rain rose.

This scene was spectacular.

Li Xuandu, wearing the "Yin Yang Fairy Clothes", stood on the bow of the White Dragon Tower Ship, overlooking the people below.

At this moment, Lan Xuanshuang, Xie Heng, and Wu Xian, who were fighting fiercely, also stopped.

As for the others, they dared not move.

A person's reputation is like a tree's shadow. Even if everyone knew that Li Xuandu was seriously injured, no one dared to jump out first to test Li Xuandu's strength, even Wu Xian was no exception.

Anyone would sigh, it turned out that the prestige was so great.

Shangguan Wan, Ning Yi, Lan Xuanshuang and others all bowed to Li Xuandu: "Meet Mr. Qingping."

Li Xuandu bowed his hands as a return gesture, and then looked at Li Ruo.

Li Ruo seemed to be extremely frightened, and curled up into a ball, trembling all over.

Li Xuandu sighed softly: "Daoyou, it's only today that I know who I am."
