Xie Yuan looked at the Miaoyun, which was no longer as light as before and became like a formidable enemy. He stretched out his long sword, and the clear light was as sharp as autumn water.
He put one hand behind his back, pointed the sword at the ground with the other, and said with a smile:
"Miss Miaoyun has good eyesight."
Miaoyun looked solemn and leaned against the wall, trying to put as much distance as possible from Xie Yuan.
Although this distance is almost the same for a grandmaster, especially Xie Yuan who can use the Glimpse Sword, but with more distance and more reaction time, Miao Yun still instinctively did this.
She no longer looks like she was smiling and confident before. She looked at Xie Yuan with a pair of beautiful eyes very cautiously. With her weak figure huddled against the wall, if someone who didn't know about it came to see her, they would definitely think that Xie Yuan had evil intentions. The decedent.
I didn’t expect that people who are greedy for body are actually the other way around.
Miaoyun looked at Xie Yuan's long sword and said solemnly:
"The Glimpse of Shadow Sword is a secret that has not been passed down by the Yunshan Sword Sect. This generation of Sword Sects has only heard that its sect leader Li Xingtuo has mastered this sword. How come you can use it again?"
This swordsmanship is not only a top-notch skill, but also a top-notch skill that greatly considers understanding and aptitude. Therefore, not many people in the Yunshan Sword Sect can practice it for generations.
But matching the difficulty, once you learn this sword, its power is endless and its lethality is astonishing. Especially its speed and explosion are the best swordsmanship in the world.
The Floating Light Sword takes these two points to the extreme. The top skills have the advantage of defeating the weak with the strong, and this sword technique makes it easier to achieve this.
Moreover, the most important thing is that the Floating Light Sword is good at speed, and it just restrains Miao Yun, who is also ghostly and unpredictable in her movements, so she is extremely dignified.
Is it difficult? It's not difficult.
Just take a look and you'll know it.
Seeing Miao Yun's alert look, Xie Yuan wanted to say something casually.
But considering that this is still the swordsmanship of the Sword Sect, and there are so many elders and seniors who have not practiced it, Xie Yuan would be disrespectful to his seniors if he spoke openly.
He just said lightly:
"Maybe I just have a little talent in swordsmanship."
A little talent? Glimpse sword?
Miao Yun bit her lip slightly and said that Xie Yuan was probably not only extremely talented in cultivation. He had mastered this sword just after breaking through to become a master, and his talent in swordsmanship was even more astonishing.
But the most important thing is, how did Yunshan's ultimate swordsmanship end up in the hands of the head of the Xie family?
Miaoyun couldn't understand, but this was not the time to dwell on it.
She looked at Xie Yuan, eyes flashing, and breathed out:
"Master Xie really surprised me."
Xie Yuan just smiled faintly.
He doesn't just know the Glitter Sword. He has already held the dragon soul behind his back with his left hand. If necessary, he can also use the dragon soul that has unlocked most of the seals and then use the master-level Burning Sky Dao-Destroying Spear. Just in terms of lethality. , still above the Glimpse Sword.
However, at this time, to deal with Miao Yun whose escape technique is like a ghost, it is better to use the Glimpse Sword.
The Burning Sky Dao-Destroying Spear has not yet been completely mastered. Even the moves are less than half learned, and the most important "Burning Sky Spear Flame" has not been understood.
This is a mental technique that only a master can master, and it can inspire the true power of the Heaven-Burning Dao-Destroying Spear.
The moves that the master learned before can only be said to lay the foundation, which is just a small trick, and it is not as powerful as the true power of the marksmanship.
After returning home, Xie Yuan is ready to fully understand the seven styles and mental techniques of the Burning Heaven-Destroying Dao Spear, and use the full power of this spear.
But the premise is to successfully complete the mission and return.
Xie Yuan looked at Miao Yun whose shocked expression had faded, and saw the sparkle in her eyes and her red lips slightly parting:
"Master Xie, your swordsmanship certainly surprises me. With this mysterious sword, you may be able to compete with me.
"But, how long can you use this kind of swordsmanship?"
Miaoyun's voice was soft, and a rich purple light suddenly appeared on more than one hand.
A dense purple light sprouted from her lower abdomen, and soon covered her entire body.
The wonderful clouds are slightly floating in the sky, the transparent gauze is floating, and the body is dyed with a faint purple light, like a fairy in a dream who has come to the world.
And her body exuded a more powerful aura than before.
"Since Patriarch Xie has given me a surprise, I should respond by myself. I can support this look for a long time. What about Patriarch Xie? If it ends only halfway, I will not be satisfied."
< br>
Miaoyun showed a faint smile.
The secret technique covered her whole body, and she obviously regained her confidence.
She blinked lightly at Xie Yuan, then dodged, as if teleporting, and appeared directly behind Xie Yuan!
Xie Yuan was already prepared, and with a thought, he entered a wonderful state again.
Without looking back, he stabbed the floating Miao Yun's belly with his backhand sword like moving clouds and flowing water.
"Giggle~ What a frivolous young man."
Miaoyun chuckled lightly, her eyes narrowed, and she smacked her palms down hard.
There was a bang, and the palms and swords met. Xie Yuan felt a strong force coming, and couldn't help but withdraw his sword and step forward, and then turned around.
The floating purple phantom reflected in his eyes was facing her, sliding to one side.
Almost at the same time, Miao Yun looked at Xie Yuan, eyes flashing, and also stepped in the other direction.
The two of them circled around the room, each showing extreme speed, waiting for the other to show a slight flaw before launching a lightning strike.
Xie Yuan's footsteps suddenly stopped, and his long sword suddenly rose, piercing Miao Yun's heart.
The sword moves of the Floating Light Sword seem to be ordinary, but in fact the speed and power have been condensed to the extreme. As long as a flaw is revealed, the enemy will be pierced through with one sword.
Miaoyun just slowed down a beat and drew a circle with both hands, condensing into a purple light so rich that it was almost black, blocking the sword.
The room fell silent as the sword slowly penetrated the purple light, and then finally stopped.
Xie Yuan poured all his power into this sword without any spillage.
Otherwise, with the power of the two fighting, this inn will be destroyed directly.
Seeing that the sword was in vain, Xie Yuan sheathed his sword like lightning and started to circle Miaoyun again.
Miaoyun blocked Xie Yuan's sword, not to be outdone, and kept the same distance as Xie Yuan, circling around this extremely large inn room.
However, the two of them went around in countless circles in an instant. Xie Yuan took the initiative with his faster speed and fired several swords in succession.
However, Miaoyun saw every sword move, and when he blocked it in his hand, the purple light shield rippled. However, with his strong skills, he had no problem blocking Xie Yuan.
In this way, the two of them fought for dozens of rounds in a very short period of time, and Xie Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly.
Miaoyun, who used her true skills, was no longer as slow as if she had been hit by a slow spell in front of him.
But Xie Yuan is not afraid. No matter how fast she is, she can't get there faster than she can, but the gap has been reduced by 90%.
It's just that it seems that Xie Yuan's speed advantage is very small at present. He only has a slight advantage, but there is no way to turn it into a victory for the time being.
Miao Yun obviously relied on his extremely powerful skills to wait for work and wanted to consume Xie Yuan.
Her soft voice sounded in the guest room:
"Master Xie, how long can you persist like this? If you slow down later, I will be dissatisfied.
"It's not enough, it's not enough, you have to hurry up.
"Is this just your ability? It's still far from convincing me."
She was panting slightly, and her teasing and threatening voice penetrated into Xie Yuan's ears, trying to distract him.
Xie Yuan was unmoved, but he did feel that both the blood and breath in his body were declining rapidly.
The consumption of top skills is huge, and the consumption of skills such as the Floating Light Glimpse Sword, which explodes in speed and power in a short period of time, is even higher. Even the Great Golden River Skill cannot sustain it all the time.
Ayina huddled in the farthest corner of the room, watching the two fight with a shocked expression.
Although she has also practiced in the Hehuan lineage of the Zao Sect, she is not yet a master.
At this moment, she watched the two of them fighting. In her eyes, it was just a series of afterimages that kept flying around. You and I are in you, and they were all over the room. They seemed to be everywhere and have their avatars everywhere.
Sword light and purple light rose together, surrounding the room full of afterimages, and even formed a solid halo due to the speed and frequency.
In her eyes, this hotel room was a completely bizarre world.
Ayina's eyes were a little dazed.
Miao Yun was also a very powerful master under Elder Hehuan, but he didn't expect that Xie Yuan, who was so young and had just made a breakthrough at most, was on par with him, and even seemed to have a slight advantage.
Looking at the movements of their fight, it was clear that the power was extremely powerful and the scene was magnificent, but the power was all controlled within three inches, like stepping on a tightrope in the clouds, without wasting a single bit to avoid falling into the disadvantage.
Are all powerful masters this powerful?
Ayina thought blankly.
Her delicate hands were holding the silk paper, feeling gradually getting hot.
Xie Yuan's movements were a little slow.
In the fierce battle, Xie Yuan felt a little exhausted for the first time since he realized the Dajinhe Kung Fu.
His speed had no obvious advantage against Miao Yun, and this was naturally keenly captured by his opponent.
Miaoyun's soft laughter came out:
"The master of the Xie family is dead."
Xie Yuan suddenly thrust a sword in his hand. Seeing his opponent block it, he said calmly:
"Can you hold on for a long time? Your secret method obviously consumes a lot of money."
"It will definitely last longer than you. I won this battle."
Miaoyun chuckled, and then her voice was soft and gravelly:
"But Mr. Xie is also very powerful. I am sweating a little, and my gauze is even wet..."
Through the rich purple light, one can indeed see that her gauze clothes fit tightly around her body, outlining an exaggerated arc that makes people's blood flow.
All powerful masters are like this, which is enough to show that her consumption is indeed not small.
But compared to Xie Yuan, Miao Yun's skill, which he had accumulated for countless more years, naturally had a huge advantage.
She looks like a young woman, but in fact she is not too young. She is more than enough to be Xie Yuan's elder.
Xie Yuan's face was calm, and suddenly he turned his sword and the sword light was bright.
He accelerated again and stabbed Miaoyun fiercely, shrouding her whole body in it.
"Yeah!"
Miaoyun exclaimed, dodging left and right, looking a little embarrassed and weak.
But upon closer inspection, I found that her figure was flashing in a legal manner, and her figure was graceful, but she was actually quite at ease.
When the momentum of Xie Yuan's fast sword attack weakened a little, Miao Yun drifted away, covering her mouth and laughing softly:
"You are a young boy after all, and you can't help it all of a sudden. Why don't you immediately surrender your gun when you are sprinting like this? How can you fight with your sister again!
"Hey, it's a pity that I haven't arrived yet... I haven't arrived yet..."
Before Miao Yun finished speaking, he looked at Xie Yuan, stunned in place.
I saw a finger on Xie Yuan's hand, suddenly emitting a rich blood light, like blood twisting in white jade, it was really beautiful.
Xie Yuan's mind moved, and he guided the huge blood energy stored in the fingertips to flow into the Dantian along the meridians on his hands. Then, it instantly circulated around his body under the operation of the already boiling technique, and he returned to his peak in an instant.
The light on his finger faded away, but although the red color of the finger was light, there was still a dense blood flowing slowly around.
Xie Yuan looked at Miaoyun and smiled:
"Miss Miaoyun, what's the pity?"
Miaoyun's expression suddenly became wonderful.
She had seen this scene many times, but the setting was different, usually in bed.
Those unwilling furnace tripods often continue to take medicine after their essence is exhausted, just to regain their glory in front of them.
Many of them took the elixir, which is similar to the scene now!
She twitched the corner of her mouth and said stiffly:
"I didn't expect Mr. Xie to have such a skill... What kind of man is he who takes bait? My sister doesn't like it."
"Haha, I don't just have this skill."
Xie Yuan smiled slightly, and the finger on his hand flashed out intentionally or unintentionally.
He took advantage of Miaoyun's expression to become serious and stepped out in an instant, his speed returning to its peak!
When Miao Yun saw this, his expression changed and he barely dodged to avoid it.
She didn't have a treasure that could store a huge amount of blood like Xie Yuan's hand. Just looking at the beads of sweat rolling down her body, it was clear that her condition was not as good as before.
Xie Yuan kept moving around in the chamber, leaving behind a series of afterimages.
But this time, he saw an opportunity and used the Heavenly Illusion Technique. Several extremely fast phantoms attacked Miaoyun with swords from different directions, making her unchangeable for a moment.
The afterimage itself is all over the sky, and the illusion of the sky is even more confusing to the human eye. Miaoyun can't tell which one is real and which one is fake.
Just for a moment, she was in a daze, and with her powerful skills and powerful consciousness, she could see that everything around her was fake.
Are they all fake? So really?
Miaoyun suddenly felt a sense of crisis in her heart.
There seems to be a bit of sharpness in the midfielder, suddenly appearing.
But even with Miaoyun's perception and Miaoyun's speed, he had just noticed that the sword edge had penetrated the protective force and reached his waist.
"Yeah!"
A high-pitched scream sounded out, and purple light erupted from Miao Yun's body, like steaming flames.
The ceiling of the inn exploded, revealing the sky.
She instantly jumped up and dodged the sword, avoiding the long sword piercing her body.
But this sword still went down from her waist, and had already made a long and deep gash.
The sharp sword energy raged in the wound, still tearing apart the flesh and blood, causing blood to overflow.
Bang.
A pool of blood fell from her wound along her extremely straight and graceful long legs, and fell to the ground of the inn, dyeing a pool of shocking red.
Miaoyun's face turned pale. Not only was she seriously injured, but every scream she broke out was the accumulation of her own mobilization. Coupled with the previous consumption, she was in extremely poor condition at this time.
She glanced at Xie Yuan bitterly, and no longer smiled coldly and calmly. She took Ayina with a wave of her hand, and then a purple rainbow flashed across her face and flew into the distance.
Xie Yuan looked at Miao Yun going away, shook off the blood on his sword, and did not pursue it.
His expression was quite solemn.
Although he was better than Miao Yun, Xie Yuan's victory was not easy.
This person's cultivation was obviously not comparable to that of Lu Laosan or Qin Chuan, and was even much stronger than their combined strength, which made him spend a lot of effort and energy.
Xie Yuan relied on the head of the Xie family to replenish his huge blood energy, but the consumption of his inner energy was not small at all, and his condition was not complete.
If he were to catch up forcefully, not to mention whether there were other reinforcements or opponents to interfere, if he really wanted to put the powerful Miaoyun to death, her dying counterattack would probably put him in extreme danger.
Although the war here did not spread widely, it had already attracted the attention of many people.
Listening to the commotion around him, and the faint presence of strong men peeping in the distance, Xie Yuan's figure darkened and he quickly left the place.
After walking a hundred miles eastward along the official road, Xie Yuan returned to the Western Desert, only to reveal himself behind a hidden sand dune.
He frowned and looked at the gleaming purple spirit in several parts of his body, confirming that it had no tracking effect, and then used the Dajin River Kung Fu to continuously flush and evaporate it, before slowly removing it.
However, after removal, the corresponding skin, flesh and blood showed signs of withering and necrosis, and the blood vessels were blocked and the breath was blocked, which was not considered a minor injury to him.
"I've been hooked without realizing it. If I delay it a little longer, I'm afraid it will be hard to recover."
After applying some elixir and feeling an extremely slow improvement, Xie Yuan became a little serious.
This Miaoyun is indeed not easy to deal with.
Fortunately, I am more skilled.
He rubbed the ring on his hand and nodded slightly.
The ring finger of the head of the Xie family is not just a symbol, it is also an extremely powerful magic weapon.
He didn't have much use for it before, but it was only after he became a master that his power was fully unleashed.
Grandmaster-level blood energy can also be stored, and because the blood energy is stronger and of higher quality, it can be stored for a longer period of time and has a huge capacity! This is supposed to be for the Grandmaster.
The amount Xie Yuan had stored in advance could be replenished for him twice, but this was not even the limit of his fingers. Just two times was almost enough.
No matter how much it is, it needs to be replenished from time to time, and the inner breath may not be enough.
The Glimpse Sword consumes a lot of energy, especially for this realm.
Even those above the sword sect have matching tangible and intangible swords.
However, although Xie Yuan's finger ring is not that powerful, and its inherent ability is far inferior to that of the tangible and intangible sword, the effect of storing blood energy is more than enough for him now, so he can squander it casually!
Therefore, even if he had just mastered the Glitter Sword, Xie Yuan could use it without hesitation.
With such a skill and such a treasure, Xie Yuan could only barely defeat Miao Yun.
Miaoyun has powerful skills and a good inheritance, and his body skills and mystical skills are very powerful.
Xie Yuan had just broken through to the Grandmaster level, but against this level of Grandmaster, his realm was already weak.
Fortunately, with his top-notch skills, coupled with the ring finger that can replenish his health, he was able to fight against the masters who had accumulated much more than him, and repel the Miao Yun.
The power of Elder Hehuan is indeed strong, with Buxuannu in front of him and Miaoyun behind him.
The grandmaster under her is so powerful, and it is conceivable that Miaoyun is definitely not the strongest under her.
Being targeted by such a person gave Xie Yuan a headache.
He frowned and thought:
"I'm exposed, I'm being targeted. Maybe it's time to go back."
Xie Yuan took out the brocade box, checked it carefully several times, and then opened the box to take a look.
The transparent petals are glowing red, and the stamens in the middle emit a faint golden light, which is beautiful.
He closed the box and gained at least half of his goal for the trip.
Then the prescription does not mean that one more dose of the elixir will have the same effect.
But if you don't get it all together, then one missing elixir and one missing medicine cannot be made, and the effect will be zero.
If we retreat now, I don't know how long it will take before there is news about the golden mandala, and once I have the news, I don't know if I can successfully obtain it.
Now the Zao Cult has discovered his target, and the Wang family has obviously understood it and will not let them succeed easily.
If the elixir is not obtained quickly while the reaction from all parties is not yet intense, it may take a long, long time for Xie Yi to obtain treatment.
Xie Yuan fell into deep thought. If you just continue, there will indeed be danger.
It seems that the Wang family's hands are not as far as the Western Region, but this is the hometown of the Zao Sect.
The elders of Hehuan's lineage have already discovered his traces, and probably have an insight into his purpose.
If you continue to go deeper, the old witch who is greedy for her body will definitely not give up.
And if the identity is exposed, the countries and major forces in the Western Region will definitely not look kindly on the master of the Central Plains.
Even if it's not a joint pursuit, they will stumble whenever they see it.
Rationally speaking, it's best to leave now.
Just...
I think of Xie Yi, who is lying in bed not knowing whether he will live or die tomorrow; I think of Cui Pingjun, who takes care of Xie Yi almost every step of the way and also helps her manage the family affairs; I think of Xie Lingyun, the eldest girl who has grown up a lot and practices hard all day long; I think of the problems that the Xie family is facing now Dilemma...
Finally, I thought about it, Xie Yi saved his life and brought him back to his clan. The resources of the clan were available to him, and he even gave himself the position of head of the family...
Xie Yuan rubbed the fingers of the head of the family who had helped him a lot today and exhaled.
Please...you...Collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠ(Six\\\Nine\\\Book\\\!)
This kind of kindness, even if Xie Yi once said that he would neither thank him nor ask for repayment, he had to repay it.
Just because they were a family, even without these, Xie Yuan could not find a way to cure him.
Don't give up if you're not in a desperate situation.
“Actually, it’s not the Zao Cult that targets me, but just the lineage of Elder Hehuan.
"The saint will definitely not target me. She doesn't bother to care what I am doing here. And the mysterious leader... doesn't seem to have any ill intentions towards me, at least he won't send anyone to chase me.
"Then it's actually Elder Hehuan, and at most one more Ji family - that is, Ji Xuan himself. I don't have any grudge against the Ji family.
"With the mother-in-law's threat, neither Elder Hehuan nor the Ji family will definitely send someone of the level of a high-level grandmaster. Miao Yun is hiding it. No matter how strong Elder Hehuan is, there are only so many grandmasters under his command. , it’s impossible to send them all, the mother-in-law has to help, right?
"So with a high probability, maybe Miaoyun is the only one chasing me here for the time being."
Xie Yuan nodded, feeling that the situation was not that bad for a moment:
"If you think about it worst, maybe Ji Xuan will chase after you, and Miaoyun will be prepared for the second time after suffering a loss. Then the stronger Miaoyun and Ji Xuan will join forces to find me..."
< br>
He closed his eyes and thought for a while:
"Or worse, add another master, three grandmasters."
Xie Yuan weighed it for a moment and showed a firm expression:
"It's not that you can't fight."
He also has the Immortal Golden Bell to protect himself, and the Heavenly Illusion Technique and Heavenly Hidden Technique to deal with it. Even in this situation, it is not a complete dead end.
Then it can be one line.
Xie Yuan thought:
"Lu Laosan's identity should not have been exposed yet. I relied on this identity to sneak into the Golden Kingdom and go to the Sky Garden to explore. If I can get the golden mandala, I will retreat quickly."
He thought about it and felt that there was no big problem.
It might be risky, but after weighing it, he felt it was worth a try.
If this opportunity is missed, I don't know how long it will take to treat Xie Yi, or maybe there will never even be another chance, or maybe Xie Yi's condition suddenly worsens, then Xie Yuan will regret it for the rest of his life.
Xie Yuan made up his mind, and his body suddenly changed, becoming fatter and more rugged, with a face full of steel needle-like beards and a few scars. He was none other than Lu Laosan.
This is a Heavenly Hidden Technique that directly steals luck from Lu Laosan's body, especially since he wields Lu Laosan's hand, which will not be exposed under normal circumstances.
He felt it and was about to set off when his heart suddenly moved, as if the curtain on his body was being pulled by a few threads.
Before I had time to react, the threads suddenly broke on their own.
Xie Yuan frowned slightly, but after feeling it carefully, he found that his body was light and there was no feeling of being spied upon.
Maybe some people want to calculate that they have failed... Dacheng's Tianyin Technique is not so easy to spy on.
Xie Yuan guessed that it was Miaoyun. She probably felt uncomfortable at this moment. She grinned and her figure suddenly disappeared from the place.
Kucha Kingdom, royal palace, secret room.
"Ah!"
Miaoyun screamed and closed her eyes tightly, two lines of blood were already flowing down.
"How could..."
She murmured, her voice still shaking.
Ayina next to her looked at the huge crystal ball in front of her with a confused look on her face.
Didn't Miaoyun just say that the progress was going very smoothly?
Relying on the national treasure of the King's Palace of Kucha - the luck divination crystal, the Kingdom of Kucha has bet on the right treasure countless times in the past and saved the day. This way, as a small country, it can occupy the best position and have both sides.
Relying on his relationship with Ayina, Miaoyun came to this secret room to borrow the luck divination crystal to calculate Xie Yuan's location.
Everything was going smoothly, both of them seemed to vaguely see Xie Yuan's appearance, and they seemed to be able to catch him the next moment.
As a result, a dark lotus flower suddenly appeared in the crystal ball, replacing Xie Yuan's body.
They also vaguely heard a cold roar, and then the crystal ball suddenly dimmed, and Miao Yun, who was in charge of divination, suffered backlash and became more injured.
Ayina looked at the seriously injured Miaoyun and whispered:
"It seems that there is an expert behind him."
"Nonsense!"
Miao Yun said bitterly.
Everyone can see that this time the divination has offended the wrong person.
With the ancient inheritance of the Hehuan lineage of the Zao Sect, Miaoyun himself is very strong, and he is extremely good at secret techniques.
With this kind of background, combined with the Qiuci Kingdom's fortune-telling crystal, which is the treasure of the country, to predict Xie Yuan, he was immediately noticed, and he immediately counterattacked and was seriously injured in the air.
There is still a luck divination crystal. If not, the consequences would be even more disastrous.
Miaoyun was a little scared, and at the same time secretly frightened, who the hell is this expert?
She did not dare to attack Xie Yuan in this regard again, so she could only frown for a while and sighed:
"I have to apply for a treasure from the elders."
Ayina asked:
"Can't we call for more reinforcements?"
Miaoyun glanced at her and said calmly:
"If someone comes again, it's time to offend someone who really shouldn't be offended. I'm holding the treasure, and that's enough. Xie Yuan is not that strong."
Seeing Ayina's silence, Miaoyun himself felt that he was not very convincing and said slightly angrily:
"That's all, although he is strong, I am not afraid of him!"
She said this with a bit of stern expression, which made it even more obvious that she was the one with a low level.
After thinking for a moment, Miaoyun hummed:
"But you can also find someone else. I know there is another person who is also extremely interested in him. Ask him to join forces with me, and it will be better to find Xie Yuan. Everything is guaranteed..."
She thought for a while, nodded slowly, and confirmed the plan.
Then Miaoyun looked at Ayina and said calmly:
"If you sincerely worship me, how can you only have this little strength?"
Ayina pursed her lips and just said:
"That's good. Ayina has been taken care of by the elders, so we don't expect more."
"As you wish."
Miaoyun shook his head and ignored her.
But given the difference in strength between the two, she was quite polite to Ayina, obviously not just because of her status as a princess of Kucha Kingdom.
Ayina looked at the dimmed crystal ball, which reflected her extremely graceful shadow, and stood quietly.
Continue westward from Qiuci Kingdom, passing through Dashi, Gaochang, Loulan, Cheshi, Amati, and then a number of large and small countries and tribes in the Western Regions.
Xie Yuan finally arrived at the center of the Western Region.
Golden City.
The former Golden City was the capital of the Golden Dynasty, a powerful Western Empire in ancient times.
At that time, the Western Region was completely unified, and the imperial cavalry traveled north to the grasslands, south across the ocean, to the extremes of the world in the west, and to the Great Wall of China in the east.
At that time, the Central Plains dynasty was even shrouded in the shadow of the empire's military front, and there was a huge disparity in strength.
However, such a powerful empire fell apart after successively building the Sky Garden and the Tower of Babel.
For countless thousands of years since then, the Western Regions have never been truly unified, and the threat to the Central Plains is no longer great.
And now it is even more in decline. Even the major local forces have left one by one and gone to the legendary center of heaven and earth.
But when Xie Yuan saw the Golden City for the first time, he didn't think it was barren.
On the contrary, looking at the houses that stretched for an unknown distance and were uniformly painted in gold, the whole city was shining in the sun, like the empire of the past reappearing. The time difference is similar.
"In terms of the size of the city and the population here, I'm afraid it's not inferior to Dali Shengjing."
With such a huge scale, such a large population, and gathering the elites from the entire Western Region, will there be a shortage of strong people here?
Xie Yuan thought to himself, slightly wary.
Even though he had seen many spectacular sights in various countries in the Western Region and gained a lot of knowledge, the Golden City still gave him an impact.
Especially the half-real, half-illusory towering cascading garden on the hillside in the center of the city.
Its magnificence made Xie Yuan feel like he had witnessed myths and legends with his own eyes.
Xie Yuan stood on the hillside outside the city, looked into the city and into the sky garden, and whispered:
"It looks like the flowers have bloomed. I wonder if there is a golden mandala inside?"
Xie Yuan held on to his large bamboo hat, straightened the sword on his back, and slowly walked towards the golden country.
After paying money to enter the city, Xie Yuan discovered that the people guarding the city were all lamas, wearing the costumes of the Great Vajra Monastery.
He just glanced at it without looking further. After entering the city, he found many monks and soldiers patrolling along the street, all of whom were from the Great Vajra Temple.
The whole city is filled with incense, and almost every household is filled with believers. Through the doors and windows, you can see the Buddha statues inside. From time to time, you can see people folding their hands and saluting each other and saying hello.
On both sides of the street, there is an endless line of people kowtowing their heads in the direction of the sky garden. There are even two stone pavements specially built for kowtows on both sides of the long street.
Xie Yuan knew that next to the Sky Garden was the address of the Great Vajra Temple.
Looking at the bustling businesses on both sides, every two shops were selling Buddhist supplies, and there was an endless stream of business. For the first time, Xie Yuan saw a complete Buddhist city.
"The Buddhist Kingdom on Earth..."
Xie Yuan muttered something secretly, without showing any strange expression, he just lowered his head and continued walking forward.
After finding an inn to stay at, Xie Yuan ordered a few dishes of food in the lobby. Then he looked at the young monk with a shaved head and a shrewd expression from the Western Regions. He was silent for a moment and asked:
"Little Master, is there anything worthy of attention in Golden City recently?"
"Something worth paying attention to? Hi, guest, you are asking the right person."
Although he is a waiter from a Western Buddhist country, his demeanor is no different from that of a waiter from the Central Plains.
Even Xie Yuan had to hear something authentic from that tone.
"Everything in the Golden City is naturally a big event, but the latest one is the opening of the Sky Garden."
The waiter’s lips were twitching rapidly:
"After three years, the eminent monks of the Great Vajra Temple decided to reopen the Sky Garden. It is said that the growth inside is so good that many spiritual treasures were born in three years!
"It is said that in ten days, the gates to the garden will be opened, and experts with admission tickets will be invited to visit.
"Hey, the tickets in circulation now are all being snapped up like crazy, and each one is sold at a sky-high price. But as soon as some people get it, they are surrounded and killed...
"A great master died in Dongsan Alley the day before yesterday. He was from Gaochangguo.
"Everyone has said that after this opening, the Great Vajra Temple was intentionally closed for at least five years to allow it to contain more precious spiritual creatures. Five years, although a long time for us ordinary people, is a long time for a master. Can be short!
"Five years of stagnant cultivation are just like that, but for those with excellent talents and brave and diligent cultivation, how many things can be delayed in five years? So this competition is fierce!"
This is what Xie Yuan wanted to hear, so he nodded repeatedly.
However, he also knew that asking directly might attract people's attention, so he kept it tactful.
Will it open in ten days?
Xie Yuan nodded slightly, showing interest:
"Is it so intense? I wonder if there are any masters this time?"
The waiter immediately became more interested, raised his fingers and counted:
"From the Western Desert in the east, from the Polar Regions in the west, from the ocean in the south, and from the grasslands in the north, there are masters coming from all of them! Unexpectedly, almost all the masters from the world are here!
"For example, I heard that there is a Malaysian bandit leader in the Western Desert who went through great troubles to obtain admission tickets and traveled thousands of miles to the Golden City to worship."
Xie Yuan didn't expect that Lu Laosan would be the first one to be named, and he couldn't help but continue listening with great interest:
"But the further east you go, the weaker the people are. The Central Plains are all a place where cowards gather, and the Western Desert is so close to the Central Plains, so it's definitely not that good. The horse bandit leader is probably just a make-up."
Xie Yuan was silent, nodded and said:
"Any more?"
"There are also generals, sect leaders, national advisors, and masters from several major countries. For example, from our Golden City... Hey, cough, my throat is a bit dry."
The waiter suddenly started pretending.
Xie Yuan smiled slightly and gave a gold leaf with his backhand:
"Take it and buy some hot water to drink."
The waiter suddenly showed a look of ecstasy and took it with both hands:
"Oh, this guest officer is so arrogant, so arrogant! What do you want to hear? I know everything and can tell you everything!"
Xie Yuan smiled and said:
"I like to hear stories from masters, especially those who can come this time and who are powerful."
"I understand, I understand! You just asked the right person to ask me!"
The waiter patted his chest and started to play with his fingers seriously this time:
“There are several most famous people who have arrived in Golden City this time.
"The first one is the local Grandmaster Mu Bo from Golden City! He ranked first in the Golden City martial arts contest organized by the Great Vajra Temple last year, and received a nod of praise from King Ming. He is extremely powerful;
"There is the leader of the Asin Sect of the Cheshi National Spirit Curse Sect. Although he is old, he has always been extremely strong and frightened several countries around him. This time it is said that he is looking for life-extending medicine.
"There is also Prince Yeluchu of Dashi Kingdom. It is said that he needs a spiritual object to break through to a higher realm. Some kind of Tianqiao Grandmaster... We don't know much about it. We only know that the realm is very high, as high as building a bridge in the sky. !
"And..."
Xie Yuan heard several powerful names, even if he had heard of them, he couldn't help but feel a little solemn.
These masters are all famous throughout the Western Region. I didn't expect that they would come together this time.
It seems that the rumor that the Sky Garden will be closed for at least five years is not groundless. Many masters who are in need or even if there is no need for the time being come here.
Xie Yuan listened for a while and asked:
"This sky garden is so powerful. Those real masters, such as the masters of building bridges in the sky, won't they go?"
"Are you talking about those big shots, even those at the level of King Ming?"
The waiter was stunned for a moment and showed a funny expression:
"Sir, do you think they need to wait until it opens to use the admission ticket before entering?
"These rules are not for them.
"That's why so many masters are trying to get in and go one step further!
"Obviously we think he is a very big person, but he still throws his life and blood... Isn't it good to enjoy a happy life?
“The younger ones didn’t understand it before, but they only found out later after listening to the guest officials.
“Beyond the masters, there are also masters, such as the eminent monks of the Great Vajra Temple!
"Those big shots are the real majesty. They have the final say on who can enter the Sky Garden and who cannot!
"What is an ordinary grandmaster? In the eyes of Living Buddhas and King Ming, they are just like us!
"Good things are in the hands of a few people. Who doesn't want to be a minority? Even the masters are the same. So they have to keep moving forward and can't look back!"
The waiter sighed repeatedly. When he talked about some high-level masters, he couldn't help but puff up his chest, looking proud and in awe.
However, he immediately felt that he seemed to be talking too much, so he restrained his expression, looked around, and saw that this place was in a corner of the hall, which was relatively secluded. He breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile:
"Sir, hehe, I have talked too much, and there are some things that I shouldn't have said. I still look at your arrogance, so I tell you, I won't talk to others!
"Hey, thank you, sir, thank you, sir!
"You eat and drink well, I won't disturb you anymore!"
He took another golden leaf from Xie Yuan and left happily.
Xie Yuan ate the food slowly and thought quietly.
There are a lot of masters this time, and they are all looking for elixirs, improving their cultivation, and going further.
Although there are no masters who have crossed the Heavenly Bridge, there are probably many masters of Miaoyun's level.
It is not easy to successfully obtain the treasure.
Whether it's a golden mandala or a precious medicine that can also help him.
But what if it’s a melee...
In chaos there is opportunity.
Xie Yuan's eyes flashed.
He stayed in this inn without leaving the house, quietly adjusting his condition and waiting for the next ten days.
Not far from the inn.
A restaurant where you can directly see the Sky Garden and the Great Vajra Temple.
The man with loose hair in a wide robe and long sleeves and the enchanting figure in a cloak sat by the window to eat, looking at the vast garden that was half real and half illusory.
"He should be coming here."
The man said lightly, then turned his head:
"When the time comes, don't take action. I'll defeat him one-on-one first, and then you can do whatever you want with him."
A chuckle sounded under the cloak, and Miao Yun's soft voice came out:
"It all depends on Mr. Ji's arrangements."
Another city gate.
A young woman dressed as a traveler walked into the Golden City, carrying a tall long package behind her back.
Although she looks ordinary, she exudes a bright temperament inexplicably.
People couldn't help but look at him twice, and then turned back after seeing his ordinary appearance.
Then I couldn't help but take another look.
Quite strange.
The young woman entered the city gate, her eyes glowed as she looked at the vast and strange city scenery, she was very novel and happy:
"You have to travel thousands of miles! Living in a house every day is not very interesting.
"It's just...is it so big here?"
Looking at such a huge city, she obviously didn't expect it.
"...Oops, how to find him?"
The woman fell into deep thought. (End of chapter)
