Two fine horses galloped straight from Songshan to Dali...
After arriving in Dali City, the two men asked for the direction of Tianlong Temple without any delay, and then rode straight to the Dali royal temple!
"Little Dragon Girl of the Ancient Tomb Sect, along with her Senior Brother Di Fan, have come to the Tianlong Temple to debate!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Xiaolongnu flew up from her horse, stretched out her palms, and ten sword energies shot out from her fingertips without any concealment. After the sword energies left her fingers, they turned into sword energies as thick as half a staff, which completely destroyed the gate of Tianlong Temple!
This time, Xiaolongnu used the Dali royal family's royal martial arts, the Six Meridians Divine Sword!
"Who dares to act so presumptuously in Tianlong Temple?"
Countless monks heard Xiaolongnu's challenge and rushed out of the temple!
But when he saw the tragic state of the gate and the strange image of the Nine Yin Wuxiang behind Xiaolongnu's head, he was so frightened that he staggered and almost fell to the ground, and turned around and ran towards the temple!
"Oh no, oh no! The Dragon Alliance Leader of the Central Plains Martial Arts World is here to attack us!"
[The Dali Temple is really fast at gathering intelligence...]
We rode our horses straight to Dali, but we didn't expect them to get the intelligence information before us...
"Junior Sister, your fame has spread to Dali."
Di Fan couldn't help but teasing Xiao Longnu. Xiao Longnu chuckled. Although she didn't use too much internal force, the cold voice resounded throughout the Tianlong Temple, as if whispering in his ear!
“Isn’t this exactly the effect we want?”
Di Fan shook his head speechlessly, "Junior sister, your shock is beyond words."
[Junior Sister, you're too direct... I wonder if this Tianlong Temple has any martial arts that will amaze us.]
[Well, regarding this, it depends on whether Duan Yu left behind any legacy...]
A moment later, the monks from Tianlong Temple came out to greet them...To Xiaolongnu and Difan's surprise, the one leading them was the pale-faced Zhu Ziliu?
Yes, it was Zhu Ziliu, the eldest son of the Zhu family of Dali, who was tragically ambushed in the battle with Huo Du at the martial arts conference!
"Zhu Ziliu of the Zhu family of Dali pays homage to the Alliance Leader, Xiaolongnu, and to the Vice Alliance Leader, Mr. Di! I was unaware of the arrival of the two Alliance Leaders, and I apologize for not welcoming them in person. Please enter the temple for a chat!"
[Well, it seems the Dali Duan clan has decided not to confront us head-on, and has even brought out Zhu Ziliu.]
Zhu Ziliu had just been injured at the martial arts conference. If she fought, people would probably misunderstand her as a lack of empathy and disregard for her fellow comrades. However, if she didn't fight, the powerful financial support from the Dali Duan clan would be gone.
Yes, Di Fan had discussed this with Xiao Longnu long ago. Even if Dali was on good terms with the Song Dynasty and the Central Plains, it was still a foreign race, especially the royal family, and it was not appropriate for them to personally participate in the uprising... So the only requirement for the Duan family was to provide funding.
Xiao Longnu's mind moved, and she instantly understood her senior brother's thoughts... However, she didn't care!
She was destined to be an empress in the future. If anyone could use friendship to restrain her, how could she rule the world? How could she withstand the criticism of Confucianism and subjugate the people?
"Zhu Ziliu," Xiao Longnu's cold gaze swept directly towards him: "You should have just returned from Xiangyang, and you should know what I am planning with the Guo family and the Beggars' Sect!
Today, for your sake, I can refrain from taking action. But the Duan clan, and indeed the entire Tianlong Temple, must fully support the Beggars' Sect's actions!"
Xiao Long Nu, just throw the conditions away! Zhu Ziliu's mouth twitched, and his throat moved, wanting to speak... But facing Xiao Long Nu's indifferent gaze, the words were directly stuck in his throat...
"Amitabha……"
Seeing that their favors had been exposed, the Tianlong Temple knew that the other party was extremely determined in their goal and would not be able to fool them... Helplessly, the abbot of the Tianlong Temple had to step out and bow to Xiaolongnu.
"Master Long, the Tianlong Temple belongs to the Dali royal family and should not get involved in the war in the Central Plains."
[Well, since the favor card doesn't work, I'm going to resort to the excuse of not interfering in other countries' internal affairs.]
"I just want money and food!"
Xiaolongnu was not polite and directly stated her purpose!
"That's also interference..."
When the abbot of Tianlong Temple wanted to refuse, Xiaolongnu raised her right palm, and the Six Meridians Divine Sword contracted at her fingertips, attracting the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and leaving a ten-meter giant sword directly in the sky!
Such an obvious threatening attitude made it impossible for Tianlong Temple to speak any more!
The pressure from the Xiantian Zhenren made the other acquired masters speechless... Just when Di Fan thought that they had no other choice but to surrender, suddenly a Buddhist chant directly broke Xiaolongnu's momentum!
"Hey... Alliance Leader Long, why are you so anxious? Why not just do it like the Shaolin Temple gambling fights and decide the winner in two rounds?"
Xiaolongnu showed surprise for the second time. You know, since she broke through the realm of Xiantian Zhenren, the first time she lost her composure was when she was facing King Jinlun, who was also an Xiantian master!
"Innate Arhat Realm? Since you are already an Arhat, why hide it? Just come out and talk to me!"
Xiao Longnu scolded softly in a delicate voice. From the back of the Tianlong Temple crowd, a white-bearded old monk slowly emerged. An iron chain was tied around his waist, the other end of which was tied to a bald, burly man. His temples were bulging, and his huge, black palms were a clear sign that he was a master who specialized in both internal and external cultivation.
However, the old monk was like Xiaolongnu, with a body like that of an ordinary person, without any abnormality... But this also showed that the other party was a true innate arhat!
[The old monk, the bald strong man... these two are the Southern Emperor Duan Zhixing and Iron Palm Water Floater, Qiu Qianren?!]
[Damn! I knew this damn Duan Zhixing was no good. He's clearly learned Wang Chongyang's Xiantian Gong, yet he's still sitting in Dali pretending to be a monk. Practicing both Buddhism and Taoism... Turns out he's already broken through to the Xiantian realm!]
"Nan Di Yi Deng?"
Xiao Longnu spoke subconsciously... The old monk clasped his hands together and performed a Buddhist salute. "The legend of the Southern Emperor is long gone. Duan Zhixing is now just an old, decrepit monk. A dying flame cannot compare to the rising sun of the Dragon Alliance Leader."
Zen Master Yideng's words were quite respectful, and he seemed to be admitting defeat, but in fact he was reminding Xiaolongnu... In terms of cultivation, compared with me, the old Wushu, you little girl is still weak!
"Since Master is speaking on behalf of Dali and Tianlong Temple, I will naturally give you a favor. How would you like to arrange the two duels?"
"One is the Six Meridians Sword Formation. In the other, I will take three of your attacks. If I am not defeated after three attacks, I hope you will spare the Dali royal family, okay?"
"Can!"
Xiaolongnu nodded in agreement.
Afterwards, five monks were seen walking out of the Tianlong Temple. Together with the controlled Qiu Qianren, they sat cross-legged on the ground, waiting for Xiaolongnu to enter the formation.
Xiao Longnu lightly raised her lotus steps and was about to enter the arena...
"Junior sister, let me do this one."
Di Fan stepped forward, passed Xiao Longnu, and took the initiative to enter the formation: "Master, I am here to challenge you on behalf of my junior sister in the first formation. Can you agree?"
