520: Chapter 75 Nalan Qiutong_2
rely a Perfect Cave Heaven.
Xie Xuanyi still feared that the opponent might violently kill him, right?
“Master spoke correctly, you are an extrely conceited person…”
Nalan Qiutong couldn’t help but lant: “Knowing that I am the disciple of Nalan Xuance, yet you still dared to et with .
Is it because of the Heavenly Pride List rankings?
Do you look down on those ranked below you?”
As the voice fell.
She suddenly struck without warning.
A cold light flashed.
The short dagger, previously collected by True Master Jun Shan in his storage bag, was now thrown out by Nalan Qiutong.
“Swish!”
The carriage space was extrely narrow.
The expression on Xie Xuanyi’s face remained unchanged.
He slightly shifted his head, the dagger grazing his cheek, narrowly passing by, and directly sticking into the carriage with a heavy thud.
The carriage material was solid.
The dagger embedded into it, emitting a low vibration.
Due to the talisman enveloping it, the sound was not transmitted outside.
Imdiately following.
Nalan Qiutong grasped the dagger backwards and lunged over.
The intelligence from the Book Tower ntioned that the successor of Xuanwei Island mainly cultivated chanical Techniques and usually did not focus on physical prowess.
However, this woman was clearly the opposite.
Nalan Qiutong’s combat skills were extrely fierce.
Throwing the dagger and drawing the blade happened in the blink of an eye, evidently exceeding the intelligence range of the Book Tower.
“Rumble!”
Xie Xuanyi reacted extrely quickly.
His body’s Primordial Fire ignited, and the Great Acupoint generated the sound of wind and thunder.
Although Nalan Qiutong’s attack was fast, his counterattack was even faster.
Thump!
Before the dagger could stab into the cheek, it was deflected by a misdirected hand.
Xie Xuanyi instantly disard her.
An elbow strike aid rcilessly at the woman’s cheek—
Nalan Qiutong’s pupils constricted.
The information from the island had errors as well.
Sword cultivators kill people from a thousand miles away, but Xie Zhen’s physical combat skills are even stronger than her own?!
The dagger was taken.
She instinctively retreated, but the narrow carriage allowed no space.
Fortunately, the mont she stepped back freed up so room.
Nalan Qiutong raised her arms in front of her face, catching Xie Xuanyi’s heavily powerful elbow.
Imdiately, she tilted her head to divert the force, only to et a knee strike coming her way.
“Crack!”
Nalan Qiutong had no choice but to forcefully raise her knee to counter!
A bone-chilling impact sound burst in the carriage!
The sound was extrely crisp, clearly indicating soone’s bone had fractured.
The Primordial Fire on Xie Xuanyi subsided, and he sat back down, playing with the dagger he snatched from Nalan Qiutong’s hand.
The dagger that embedded next to the cheek was still trembling slightly.
On the other side, the scene was much grimr.
Nalan Qiutong’s face was pale, one leg weakly collapsing as her knee was nearly shattered.
She could only barely maintain a seated position.
As for her stacked palms, they were numb and sore.
It was hard to imagine.
The seemingly frail black-clothed youth sitting opposite could burst with such terrifying power.
Just one confrontation, and she was injured!
She knew, Xie Zhen was holding back…
If he went all out, then after the knee strike, it would be a fierce barrage of attacks!
“Now do you know why I dared to et you alone?”
Xie Xuanyi spoke in a low voice: “To , you pose no threat…
I don’t have ti to waste words with you.
What do you want to discuss by eting ?”
Nalan Qiutong gritted her teeth.
She believed she would topped the Heavenly Pride List with no comparison, securing the top position.
Yet, she ended up second!
Her master told her not to be angry or impulsive, but she did not believe…
that this person surnad Xie was stronger than her, seeing him today truly shattered her Dao Heart.
She lost, and the loss was thorough!
A trace of unwillingness flashed through Nalan Qiutong’s eyes, but after calming down, she recognized the reality.
“Deal.”
She took a deep breath and slowly spoke: “You were right earlier, I have been rigorously cultivating on Xuanwei Island for years and only recently ca to the Da Li Dynasty…
My visit today is per my master’s orders, to discuss a deal with you.”
Xie Xuanyi raised his head.
He had not expected Nalan Xuance to want to negotiate a deal with him.
However,
the other party’s intent was not hard to guess.
“…Regarding the Buddhist sect?” Xie Xuanyi asked tentatively.
“Exactly.”
Nalan Qiutong nodded: “You are a clever man, you should be aware of the current situation in the Da Li Dynasty, my master and the Fan Yin Temple are at odds.
Now Yuan Province, Wu State, and Yu State have all succumbed to Chen Chong of Shangzhu Country.
With the montum on his side, it’s only a matter of ti before the Buddhist sect declines.”
“Heh…”
Xie Xuanyi couldn’t help but laugh.
Just as he had predicted.
Nalan Qiutong had co here to persuade him to abandon the delegation.
Nalan Xuance wants to destroy Buddha!
“Why are you laughing?”
Nalan Qiutong spoke coldly: “The Buddhist sect, Da Sui Sword Palace, and Taoist sect are known as the three great spiritual orders of the world.
Now that the Fan Yin Temple is weakening, isn’t this a good thing for the Da Sui Sword Palace?”
For a thousand years,
the three orders have risen and fallen, competing fiercely with each other, battling for over several cycles of 60 years.
Even if the world is at peace, worldly society is not.
Da Sui Sword Palace was once considered the weakest among the three orders; there was even a ti when so suggested expelling the “Da Sui Sword Palace” from the trio.
“My master does not wish to make an enemy of Da Sui Sword Palace.
If you lead your n to leave the delegation now, my master can turn a blind eye and not pursue the matter.”
Nalan Qiutong said: “All the subsequent disputes and storms will then have nothing to do with you.”
“…”
Xie Xuanyi pondered silently, giving no response.
This silence lasted only a few monts.
Nalan Qiutong solemnly warned: “Xie Zhen, now that you have co to Li Kingdom, you should keep a low profile, this place is not like Chu Country…”
“What’s the difference?”
Xie Xuanyi laughed at himself: “Miss Nalan, do you think that within the boundaries of Chu Country, everyone is friends with Xie?”
“???”
This statent left Nalan Qiutong speechless.
Even though she had been closed off in Xuanwei Island cultivating, she knew that Xie Zhen’s master was the renowned Sword Immortal Xuanyi!
All of Great Chu was after Xie Xuanyi!
So to speak, like father like son…
the disciple inherited his master’s violent destiny, Xie Zhen after coming into the world attracted trouble far more than Xie Xuanyi.
“You…”
Nalan Qiutong fell silent for a mont, then said: “Does this an you’re refusing?
You want to be an enemy of my master?”
“Interesting.”
The tone of Xie Xuanyi also turned cold, he said: “Xie has followed the decrees of Chu Country as an emissary.
Nalan Xuance doesn’t even show his face, just sends a disciple with ssages, asking
to get out of Li Kingdom…
Is this how Xuanwei Island treats its guests?
Think carefully, I haven’t settled the scores with you yet, about ambushing the Book Tower’s Dark Child!”
By now he was sure that the incident in Pingzhi City was not an accident.
The reason why the Book Tower lost contact with ‘Pelican’ was because his Ruyi Order had been taken.
The fact that Nalan Qiutong could et him with this fragnt of Ruyi Order suggests that ‘Pelican’ most likely t with misfortune, but another quite important ssage could be inferred, that is, Nalan Xuance’s side was still unclear about the “Book Tower’s” actual plan.
Pelican’s real task was not guarding Pingzhi City, but protecting Chu Guo.
The mission bestowed by the Book Tower was layered and encrypted.
Pelican may not know the real identity of Chu Guo, but must be aware that this is the most important “protégé.”
The news of “Pingzhi City encountering raiders” issued by Nalan Qiutong is unlikely to be false, presumably Chen Chong’s cavalry caught this Book Tower Dark Child amid the chaos…
What happened afterwards is not hard to guess, Great Chu has the dark agency of Imperial City Departnt’s Sandalwood Clothes Guard, and Nalan Xuance’s Hook and Clamp Master is equally ruthless.
“Just a Dark Child…
Killed already, what’s there to regret?”
Nalan Qiutong, disgusted, flicked away the Ruyi Order fragnt.
She coldly stared into Xie Zhen’s eyes, speaking with a hint of amusent, “It seems this ‘Pelican’ Dark Child indeed harbored no small secrets.
Initially, the Hook and Clamp Master interrogated her overnight, even using Divine Soul Secret Technique, yet failed to breach her Divine Sea.
What exact mission did she receive?”
