Chapter 336: Taking the Initiative in a Disadvantaged Situation



A great man once said that we should make more friends, fewer enemies, and unite all forces that can be united.

Since Xuan Qin's goal is the entire Immortal Land, the other five countries in the Immortal Land should be friends of Bei Chu and a force that Bei Chu can unite with. At least, they should not be like Yan Han and Dayan, two fools who are still dragging Bei Chu back.

Since the forces in the Xuanqin military camp are complex and fit this situation, why not do something about it? Get two friends over?

for example……

Those two idiots from the Infinite Sword Sect.

These two people just wanted Qin Ran's life, which was not a big deal. They didn't know what Xuan Qin's ultimate goal was in launching this war. If they knew, Qin Ran's life would probably be just a small matter.

What?

Qin Ran didn't know what Emperor Xuan Qin was trying to do.

It doesn’t matter, it’s not important... What’s important is that the two people from the Infinite Sword Sect don’t know.

So before Xuan Qin took the initiative to attack, Qin Ran decided to take the initiative.

He found Li Shiyin and asked her, "Are you afraid of death?"

Li Shiyin blinked her big eyes, not understanding why her black-bellied master suddenly asked this. She looked at him and replied, "I don't know whether I am afraid of death or not, but I know that you are definitely afraid of death, Master."

“…” Qin Ran was speechless.

"So Master, what do you want me to do?"

Okay, Qin Ran understood. He shouldn't care about those trivial things. He should just take Li Shiyin to do it.

"Come on, Master will take you to fight." he replied.

"Fight?" Li Shiyin asked with excitement in her eyes, "Where are we going to fight?"

"Xuanqin military camp." Qin Ran said.

"Xuan Qin Military Camp?!!!"

Qin Ran took Li Shiyin out of Wuyi City and flew towards the Xuanqin military camp.

On the way, he explained to Li Shiyin: "We can't wait for Xuan Qin to attack the city, because by then they will be fully prepared and we will have no chance of winning. In this situation, we should take the initiative to attack and create that slight chance of winning."

Li Shiyin tilted her head and saw her master's hair fluttering in the wind and snow. She smiled and said, "But Master, this is not your style!"

"What do you think my style is?" Qin Ran asked. Everyone at Danfeng knew the answer to this question, but Qin Ran did not let Li Shiyin answer. Instead, he answered himself, "Actually, I don't have any style. Everything I do is just to live longer. I do whatever it takes to survive."

"Hmm..." Li Shiyin thought about it and realized that this seemed to be the master. The master just looked cowardly... Maybe that was called being thorough? When the master was not cowardly, he was much more ruthless than her, "Okay!"

She nodded, "So who are we going to fight today?"

"People from the Infinite Sword Sect." Qin Ran said, "Let's have a sword exchange with them."

"People from the Wuyin Sword Sect?!" Li Shiyin raised her voice, "Master, are you okay? They are all Yuanying masters! Can we defeat them?"

“War is an extension of politics.” Qin Ran replied mysteriously, “Whether you can win or not is not important. What is important is how you fight.”

How could Li Shiyin understand?

She was silent for a while, letting the master feel that she was thinking, and then when she was about to reach the Xuanqin military camp, she asked, "Master, what should we do if they are unreasonable and take us down directly?"

“Master is no worse than anyone else in the realm of escaping death.” Qin Ran was quite confident.

"All right……"

The master and disciple arrived in front of the Xuanqin military camp and landed in the open space in front of the chevaux de frise.

Qin Ran mobilized his magic power and said loudly to the Xuan Qin military camp: "Junior Qin Ran, with his disciple Li Shiyin, comes to pay respect to the senior of the Sword Sect and ask for advice on sword practice."

His voice kept echoing and repeating throughout the Xuanqin military camp.

"Master..." Li Shiyin heard this and asked in a low voice, "What sword skills do you know?"

"I can't." Qin Ran looked serious as he looked at the Xuanqin military camp, waiting for the people inside to come out.

"So it's just me fighting with the people from the Infinite Sword Sect?" Li Shiyin reacted, "One against two?!"

"Why else would I call you here?" Qin Ran's face was expressionless, only his lips were moving.

"But I'm only at the Foundation Establishment stage. You want me to fight someone at the Nascent Soul stage?" Li Shiyin was shocked. "Master, you have no heart!"

"Hey! Stop talking, someone is coming." Qin Ran reminded in time.

Li Shiyin immediately straightened her expression, stood obediently beside Qin Ran, and looked forward.

Several beams of light flew out from the Xuanqin military camp and stopped one by one in front.

The people inside revealed their figures. In front of them were two Nascent Soul cultivators from the Infinite Sword Sect, a young man in black and a young woman in red. Behind them were Zhao Yaqing and her protector, and three cultivators from the Yuntian Sect whom Qin Ran did not recognize.

There are seven people in total.

“My name is Qin Ran, nice to meet all the seniors and fellow Taoists.” Qin Ran greeted them first.

Li Shiyin followed suit and bowed lightly.

The two people from the Wuyin Sword Sect nodded indifferently, while the others looked on coldly, wanting to know what Qin Ran was trying to do by running here without knowing the consequences.

Among them, Zhao Yaqing sneered, "You didn't die? You're lucky."

Kieran smiled and replied, "I am very good at saving my life."

Li Shiyin was a little surprised when she heard this. She looked at Zhao Yaqing, then tilted her head to look at her master... Why did this sound like the master and she had fought before?

When was it? Wasn't the master always with her?

The black-clothed youth from the Wuyin Sword Sect had a blank expression on his face. He asked, "You said you wanted to learn the way of the sword?"

"Everyone in Northern Chu knows that the sword art of the Wuyin Sword Sect is unparalleled in the world. I accidentally learned that the two seniors were here, so I shamelessly brought my disciples to ask for advice." Qin Ran replied respectfully, "My good disciple is also practicing the sword art, so please be generous with your teachings."

The young man in black sneered and said, "Of course I know that my Infinite Sword Sect is powerful. But why should I teach her?"

"My disciple is quite talented in swordsmanship and has some unique understandings." Qin Ran gave a reason and said, "I think this may be of some inspiration to the seniors."

"What unique understanding can a mere foundation-building cultivator have?" the black-clothed young man said disdainfully.

Qin Ran asked, "I wonder if you have also comprehended the sword intent?"

"The sword technique I practice does not emphasize the meaning of the sword." The young man in black replied.

Qin Ran continued, “My disciple said that sword energy has four levels of transformation. May I ask if you know this, senior?”

The young man in black replied, "The way of sword energy is vast and boundless. How can it be encompassed by the fourth level of transformation? It shows that her understanding is wrong."

"Oh, well!" Qin Ran sighed, feeling quite disappointed. "It seems that she is still not qualified to communicate with the seniors."

As he spoke, he clasped his fists and bowed to the young man in black, apologizing, "I am deeply sorry for coming here without permission and disturbing your rest. Alas, I will leave now."

After saying that, he took Li Shiyin's arm and led her back.

"Huh?" Li Shiyin was stunned. He left now. He wasn't going to fight anymore?

The master brought her here so solemnly, just to say these few words?

They only walked back a few steps when a young woman's voice with a slightly thicker voice came from behind them: "Fellow Daoist Qin, please stay."

Qin Ran took advantage of the situation and pulled Li Shiyin to stop and look back. He found that it was the young woman in red who asked them to stay. He smiled politely and asked, "Excuse me, what else do you want, senior?"

"But I am interested in your disciple's swordsmanship... Why don't we have an exchange?" replied the young woman in red.

"Okay." Qin Ran nodded happily.

"Huh?" Li Shiyin's head was dizzy and she couldn't understand what had happened in such a short time.
