"What's going on?"
Hearing Taoist Qingyuan's exclamation, Zhang Wuji immediately put aside his doubts, stood up and opened the door of Yunshui Pavilion.
"Junior Brother Wuji, the mayor of Ning'an City has brought 10,000 black-armored guards to surround Qingxin Temple."
Seeing Zhang Wuji open the door and show up, Taoist Qingyuan's panicked mood suddenly calmed down.
With Junior Brother Wuji and the two elders here, even if the City Lord's Mansion wants to take action against Qingxin Temple, it probably won't be that easy.
"The Lord of Ning'an City? Why is he leading the city guards to surround Qingxin Temple?"
Zhang Wuji's eyebrows raised slightly, and a trace of doubt suddenly surged into his heart.
It didn’t come earlier or later, but just happened to come when I entered the Qingxin Temple.
Could it be that they were coming for me?
"I...I don't know either."
"We at Qingxin Temple have no past grudges or recent enmity with the City Lord's Mansion. We don't know why they suddenly surrounded Qingxin Temple today."
Taoist Qingyuan had a bitter face, full of helplessness.
"Let's go out and take a look."
After listening to Taoist Qingyuan's words, Zhang Wuji felt more and more that the mayor of Ning'an City was coming for him.
“Crack!”
The door opened, and Zhang Wuji, dressed in a gray Taoist robe, appeared behind the door of Qingxin Temple.
"Brother Qingyuan, is the mayor of Ning'an City so young?"
As he stepped out of the gate of Qingxin Temple, a young man in black with cold eyes suddenly caught Zhang Wuji's eyes.
The young man in black, with a long sword hanging from his waist, stood right in front of the gate of Qingxin Temple.
Behind him, a group of well-equipped black-armored city guards half-drew their bowstrings, ready to launch an attack at any time.
"young?"
Hearing Zhang Wuji's voice, Taoist Qingyuan immediately took two quick steps and walked to Zhang Wuji's side.
"Young...Young City Lord?"
Looking at the young man in black standing right in front of the temple gate, Taoist Qingyuan was stunned.
Wasn't it said that the Lord of Ning'an City led his troops to surround Qingxin Temple? How could it be the Young Lord of Ning'an City?
"Young City Lord?"
Taoist Qingyuan's voice immediately made Zhang Wuji frown. He now had the same doubts as Taoist Qingyuan.
"Master Qingyuan, hand over Luo Li, or I will bring the Black Armored Army to raze your Qingxin Temple to the ground."
In front of the gate of Qingyuan Temple, An Chengyan glanced at Zhang Wuji, who was wearing a gray Taoist robe, and spoke coldly to Taoist Qingyuan.
"Luo Li? What Luo Li?"
Looking at An Chengyan, who was filled with murderous aura, Taoist Qingyuan became even more confused. He had never heard of the name Luo Li.
"Master Qingyuan, stop playing dumb with me."
"I will only give you half an hour. If you can't hand over Luo Li, I will raze your Qingxin Temple to the ground."
An Chengyan's eyes turned slightly cold, and a strong murderous aura suddenly burst out from his body.
"Young...Young City Lord, I really don't know who Luo Li is. Is there some misunderstanding here?"
Feeling the terrifying murderous aura approaching, Taoist Qingyuan suddenly felt cold all over and said in a trembling voice.
"Misunderstand?"
"You mean to say that I am wrongly accusing you?"
With a slight grin and a cold laugh, An Chengyan raised his hand.
"Young City Lord, I wonder if I can say a few words."
Seeing the black-armored soldiers behind the young man in black pulling their bowstrings to full length, Zhang Wuji immediately realized that it was time for him to take the stage.
"Who are you? Someone from the Zhenwu Daoguan?"
An Chengyan looked at Zhang Wuji with slightly narrowed eyes and pretended to be puzzled.
"Zhenwu Daoguan, Zhang Wuji."
"Meet the Young City Lord."
After clasping his hands together and bowing to An Chengyan, Zhang Wuji introduced his home address.
"how?"
"Master Zhang, are you planning to use courtesy first and then force?"
Looking at Zhang Wuji who saluted him with a fist, An Chengyan's eyes were cold.
There was even a hint of sarcasm at the corner of his mouth.
What on earth does this young city lord want to do?
Feeling the strong hostility emanating from the young man in black, a hint of deep doubt flashed in Zhang Wuji's eyes.
"An Chengyan, Junior Brother Wuji is a core disciple of the Zhenwu Taoist Temple. Please be polite when you speak to me."
Zhang Wuji's words seemed to give Taoist Qingyuan a lot of courage. He pointed at An Chengyan in front of the Taoist temple gate and spoke sternly.
"Master Qingyuan, do you know what this young master hates the most?"
Seeing Taoist Qingyuan pointing his finger straight at him, a smile appeared on An Chengyan's lips.
The plan was accomplished.
"careful."
With a slight movement of his feet, Zhang Wuji instantly appeared in front of Taoist Qingyuan and slapped him hard in front of him.
"boom!"
A strong sound of spiritual power colliding was heard, and An Chengyan, dressed in black, slowly appeared in the sight of Taoist Qingyuan.
“The response was good.”
Seeing that his attack was blocked, An Chengyan was not annoyed, but nodded approvingly.
"court death."
His eyes turned slightly cold, and Zhang Wuji changed his palm into a fist without hesitation and smashed it towards An Chengyan.
An Chengyan's tone made him feel like he was being instructed by an elder, and he wanted to teach this young city lord a lesson.
"Grandmaster peak, is this your full strength?"
Feeling the aura bursting out from Zhang Wuji, An Chengyan immediately understood.
The first task is completed.
"How is that possible?"
Looking at An Chengyan who easily clenched his fist, a hint of disbelief flashed in Zhang Wuji's eyes.
He is just a young city lord of Ning'an City. How can he break through to the grandmaster level?
Grandmaster?
Sensing the subtle dangerous aura from An Chengyan, Mingxin immediately winked at Mingde.
The young city lord of Ning'an City is a grandmaster, so this matter must be reported to the master of the temple.
Senior brother, be careful.
After giving Mingxin a cautious look, Mingde turned around quietly and left the gate of Qingxin Temple.
Mingde's departure did not attract Zhang Wuji's attention. His attention was now completely focused on An Chengyan.
So what if you're a Grandmaster? I can use you to help me break through to the Grandmaster level.
With a change of thoughts in his mind, Zhang Wuji started to circulate the Tai Chi mental method in his body without hesitation.
At the same time, he raised the long sword on his back.
"Tai Chi sword technique? I'd love to see how it works."
Seeing Zhang Wuji's opening move, An Chengyan's eyes lit up, and he gradually suppressed his cultivation to the peak of the Grandmaster level.
"Be careful."
Feeling An Chengyan's gradually weakening aura, Zhang Wuji became angry and took the lead in attacking An Chengyan.
Is this the core disciple of Zhenwu Daoguan? His character is really bad.
Looking at the sword tip coming towards him, An Chengyan couldn't help but frown and drew the long sword at his waist to meet it.
What a great Zhang Wuji! He is worthy of being the disciple of that venerable master.
Zhang Wuji's action made An Chengyan frown, but it made Mingxin, who had been paying attention to this place, brighten his eyes.
He didn't expect that Zhang Wuji had already comprehended the fast and slow principles of Tai Chi swordsmanship at the peak of Grandmaster level.
