Chapter 364 New Guardian Hall Master

The flag with the word "Victory" fell to the ground.

"waste!"

To those with low martial arts skills, the power of the five swords seems like the means of immortals.

Before Yang Lianting left, he looked at the black-robed man on the stage, his eyes full of fear and deep resentment. These five swords not only cut off Bao Dachu's future as the Dharma Protector Hall Master, but also destroyed his retreat under the pressure of the 'Eastern Sect Leader'.

"Zhang Yu!"

"Ren Yingying!"

"Tong Baixiong!"

"If I'm not doing well, none of you can expect to be comfortable!"

The swordswoman in black jumped onto the stage, smiled at Zhang Yu, and walked closer.

"Elder Bao, Saint Aunt has something to tell you."

Bao Dachu looked up and saw that the Saint Lady had already left. He looked at the sword maid in black with hope in his eyes, just like the look of a meat dog with a noose around its neck looking at its master before being sold to the slaughterhouse.

The black-clothed swordswoman said.

"When you are in the underworld, you must keep your word! You can't always try to have it both ways."

"Elder Bao broke his promise to Saint Auntie, but Saint Auntie will keep her promise to you!"

"I'm going to kill your entire family, not a single one can be left behind!"

Bao Dachu looked ashen as he knelt on the stage, his lips moving but unable to utter a single word.

"It's cruel enough, but it sounds like you're pointing at me."

Zhang Yu thought to himself that two fingers on his right palm were fractured. His ten fingers were connected to his heart, but he didn't feel it during the battle. Now he was in so much pain that he was sweating coldly. He could only use his true Qi to clear the blood stasis and then slowly heal it. He shouldn't fight with anyone in the next few days.

"Master Zhang, is your hand okay?"

The sword maid in black secretly looked at Zhang Yu, thinking in her heart, 'Purple Star Sword Immortal' is really worthy of the name, he and Hall Master Qin are known as the 'twin pillars of the Divine Religion', but Qin Weibang is in his thirties, with a pockmarked face, rosacea, and an ordinary appearance, which really does not match the word 'Jade'.

"I'm fine, thank you for your concern, young lady."

Zhang Yu hid his hands back in his sleeves and chuckled.

"The Saint Lady said that she will invite Qianhonglou to host a banquet tonight to celebrate your promotion to the head of the Dharma Protector Hall."

"Reporting to Saint Auntie, I will definitely be there."

The black-clothed sword maid nodded and bowed, saying, "Goodbye."

She took four or five steps and was about to leave the stage when she turned around and looked at Zhang Yu, her face slightly red.

Zhang Yu smiled and asked, "Miss, is there anything else?"

The sword-wielding maid in black lowered her head and spoke in a voice as soft as a mosquito.

"Master Zhang, my name is Xiaofang."

After saying this, a smile spread across her face and she turned and ran off the ring.

"Xiaofang, there is a girl named Xiaofang in the village..."

Zhang Yu picked up the Xuanqi sword box with his left hand, put it behind his back, hummed a little tune, and was about to leave.

"and many more!"

Bao Dachu knelt on the ground, as if he had lost his parents, and suddenly spoke to Zhang Yu.

"Elder Bao, do you have anything else to do?"

"I...I was poisoned and couldn't gather my true energy. That's why I lost to you."

Zhang Yu nodded. With his own strength, he could barely protect himself against an ordinary innate master. It was impossible for him to defeat him so easily. It must be that Miss Ren had done a lot of preparation behind the scenes.

"I agree. Let's fight fair and square today. The Protector Hall Master is yours."

"Your five swords are also very powerful. Even if I hadn't been assassinated, I could only fight you to a draw."

"Elder Bao, you are too kind! If I can't defeat you with my five swords, I will definitely lose."

"Hey, you're honest."

Bao Dachu showed a miserable smile on his face and looked at Zhang Yu. This man was quite open-minded. To be honest, before today, the two of them had no grudges against each other. He and Wu Lianjiang even had a friendship. If it weren't for the competition for the position of the Lord of the Dharma Protectorate, they might have become friends.

Zhang Yu looked down at him and asked with a smile, "Elder Bao, you called me just to say this?"

"of course not."

"If you have something to say, just say it. You heard it too. Saint Aunt is still waiting for me to have a drink."

Bao Dachu fell silent again.

Zhang Yu chuckled and looked at the seven-colored religious flags surrounding the arena. The wind on the top of the Black Wood Cliff never stopped, and the flags fluttered in the cool breeze. The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty claimed that he had five virtues. The founder of the religion wanted to surpass the emperor, so he raised the seven-colored flag and established seven virtues.

"Master Zhang!"

Bao Dachu knelt on one knee, clasped his hands and said: "If you can get the Saint Lady to release my family, Bao Dachu is willing to serve you like a dog or a horse, and go through fire and water, without hesitation. If you let me go east, I will never go west. If you let me..."

"Okay, okay!"

Zhang Yu was extremely impatient and waved his hand to interrupt him. The Sun and Moon Sect had nothing else but this trick. Even the guard dogs were familiar with it. He and Qi Queqiao were the best in this field. They had made their fortunes from this and there was no need for Bao Dachu to show off his skills.

"I just want to ask Elder Bao one question."

"You said."

"If I ask the Saint Aunt to spare the seventy-three members of your family, and if one day someone uses them as a threat to force you to kill me, Elder Bao, will you still be willing to go through fire and water for me?"

Zhang Yu looked at Bao Dachu, who was looking down in deep thought, with a half-smile.

"You must answer truthfully!"

Ren Yingying said something that was right.

This kind of people want to have the best of both worlds.

He could not bear to leave behind the Dharma Protector, nor could he let go of the seventy-three people.

If you stay in the underworld in normal years, you may die of old age on a sickbed. But in times of great strife, you will harm others and yourself. Bao Dachu has been in the Divine Religion for decades, but he still doesn't understand this truth. Even if he becomes the head of the Dharma Protectorate, it is difficult for him to have a good ending.

"me……"

Bao Dachu opened his mouth, but the words got stuck in his throat.

Zhang Yu did not force him and looked at the palace a few hundred steps away. When he went up to the Black Wood Cliff before, he came and left in a hurry. Most of the time, he was nervous, as if he was walking into a tiger's lair.

After today, he is qualified to take a closer look at Chengde Palace.

"I will kill you without hesitation!"

Bao Dachu sighed deeply, looking dejected.

"it is good!"

Zhang Yu laughed and said, "Elder Bao, this is how heroic you are."

"You're still willing to help me?"

"Miss Ren is in the limelight right now, and intends to regain control of Blackwood Cliff. It's time to establish her authority. If you go against her will, won't you be the chicken to scare the monkeys? It will be very difficult to make her break her promise. I can only try."

Bao Dachu bowed and saluted: "Thank you, Master Zhang!"

Zhang Yu chuckled and said, "Don't be so quick to thank me. If it doesn't work, you can prepare the money for the coffins yourself. If it works, I will send them to a safe place and take good care of them, so as not to embarrass Elder Bao and let him go through fire and water for me at all costs!"

Bao Dachu had no reason to refuse and nodded in agreement.

He looked at the back of the man in black robe, who was strolling leisurely, looking around like an eagle or a wolf, and slowly walked down the fighting arena. The more he looked, the more familiar he seemed.

"Another Invincible Easterner..."

In front of the Black Wood Cliff Reception Platform, it was noon and the clouds were gradually thinning. Four or five sharpshooters from the Chengde Hall were driving away the flock of birds. The Black Wood Cliff was high in terrain and was originally an excellent habitat for birds. Since the founding of the religion a hundred years ago, the battle between humans and birds has never stopped.

The birds want to reclaim their hereditary territory.

The Sun Moon Sect would never allow anything to poop on their heads. Neither side would give up.

Those sharpshooters are very experienced.

To deal with birds of prey such as goshawks and golden eagles, use long-feathered iron-tipped arrows to snipe and kill them one by one.

If there are flocks of wild birds, you can shoot a kind of arrow that makes a sharp sound and can scare them away.

Zhang Yu found it interesting and watched for a while before going up to the reception platform.

"Welcome Master Zhang!"

The voices of the warriors in golden armor became louder and more uniform. They, the birds on the roof of Chengde Hall, were naturally very well-informed about what happened on the Black Wood Cliff. The leader of the Wang flag had guessed correctly. From now on, the name of the Dharma Protector Hall would be changed from Di to Zhang.

"You're welcome, brothers."

"With Hall Master Zhang in charge of the Dharma Protector Hall, the Divine Religion will surely have a brand new look in the future."

"Hahaha, thanks for your good words. I think you look familiar. At home..."

"My name is Wang Jingtao. My father, Wang Zuhe, is currently the deputy head of the Wind and Thunder Hall. He often mentions Head Zhang, saying that you have unparalleled martial arts skills and numerous achievements, and that you are a role model for every disciple of the Divine Religion to learn from."

Zhang Yu nodded and smiled, "So you are the son of Hall Master Wang. I've had a drink with him before. As expected, he is handsome and heroic. Young man, try your best. I have high hopes for you!"

"Learn from Master Zhang!"

Wang Jingtao straightened his chest and felt proud of it.

Zhang Yu took a look and saw that the four or five sharpshooters were gradually moving away, surrounding the Black Wood Cliff and dispersing the flock of birds. In the martial arts world, there were many people who were good at swords and sabers, but because the court had strict laws and regulations on bows and crossbows, those who were good at shooting were rare and talented.

He originally wanted to say hello, but it seems he will have to do it next time.

"Farewell, Master Zhang!"

Wang Jingtao volunteered to turn the winch himself.

As the iron chain slowly slid down, Zhang Yu disappeared into the clouds. He looked at the mountains and rivers in the distance, and a sense of pride surged in his heart.

“Three years, three years!”

three years ago.

In the Sun Moon Divine Sect, that insignificant deputy flag master could finally climb to the top of the mountain and look at the river and the lake...

The speed at which the suspension cable is lowered seems a bit slow.

Zhang Yucai noticed something unusual and suddenly felt that the cable was hanging on the cliff. He looked back and saw a string of copper bells, which rang as the iron box slid down and swayed.

"Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding~"

He was confused.

"Whoosh!"

An iron-headed arrow with long feathers came through the clouds.

Zhang Yu dodged sideways, and the arrow pierced through the iron sheet under his feet, causing the feather shaft to break. The force was extremely strong.

"Fuck! Yang Lianting, this grandson can't afford to lose."

"Whoosh~"

Four feather arrows came one after another.

Zhang Yu dodged and moved flexibly in the narrow space. Qinggong was his specialty. He activated the "Flowing Like Clouds and Water" technique, swayed his body, dodged all the attacks, and slapped the copper bell away with one palm.

Sure enough, more arrows chased in the direction of the copper bell...

"I am here, please come in, sir!"

There are a few new stars in Pingding City, but just like the high stage of the Sihai Teahouse, all kinds of street performers can go there to earn some money, but only Mr. Ma is the most popular star.

Among the willow-covered shops, Qianhonglou is always the most lively one.

Outside the room stood four sword-wielding maids in black. The courtesan's room on the east side of the third floor had long been a forbidden area in the minds of the regular customers, but they were still afraid that strangers who didn't know the inside story would come and disturb them.

"Five days ago, Sima Da, the Lord of Changjing Island, sent someone to deliver...deliver a message."

"He was in the East China Sea and found someone who looked like the Eastern Cult Master, who took a merchant ship to... to Japan."

"The ship carrying raw silk passed by... passed by the vicinity of Yellow Fish Island, and must have encountered the Mist Shadow Raizo."

"Sima Da led the brothers from Changjing Island to chase after them. When they arrived, there were only a few wooden boards left on the sea. The man who looked like the Eastern Sect Leader has disappeared since then."

"Sima... said in the letter that he plans to send a group of capable people to explore Wuying Leizang's... lair and will definitely find out what happened... that day."

Shen Qingjun sat on the edge of the couch, holding a letter in her hand and recounting the contents, but her thoughts were interrupted from time to time by that weird hand. She looked at the woman lying on her knees, who was only eighteen or nineteen years old, but her brows were filled with alienation after seeing through the fickleness of the world.

"Saint Aunt, could the person Sima Da was talking about be the Eastern Cult Master?"

"Probably."

"What is he doing in Japan?"

The Saint Lady sat up and buried her head between the two hills.

"As far as I know, he has been looking for a way to solve the flaws in the Sunflower Manual over the years. This trip to Japan may mean that things are getting better. It would be good if Wuying Raizang could give him some trouble. With more time, we will be able to take over Blackwood Cliff with more ease."

Shen Qingjun said worriedly: "But he will come back eventually, what should we do then?"

"Come back? Hahaha~"

Ren Yingying suddenly burst into laughter. She had lived in the shadow of Dongfang Bubai for these years, but the shadow did not disappear with him leaving the Central Plains. Instead, she became more deeply trapped in it.

"To be honest, I'm afraid he won't come back."

Ren Yingying stretched out her hand and lifted Shen Qingjun's pointed chin. Their eyes met and the atmosphere became slightly ambiguous.

She didn't want to admit that she was learning from him.

"When Uncle Dongfang comes back, he will find that everything has changed!"

"Thirty thousand believers, twelve halls, ten elders, and the left and right envoys of light no longer pledge allegiance to him."

"The Sun Moon Sect is no longer called Dongfang, and the Blackwood Cliff is full of enemies!"

"No matter how powerful he is, can he overthrow the martial arts world by himself?"

Ren Yingying became more and more excited as she spoke, and the two pairs of beautiful eyes gradually moved closer.

Shen Qingjun said: "Even if Dongfang Sect Leader is gone, Yang Lianting has been in charge of Black Wood Cliff for many years. He is not easy to deal with, right?"

Ren Yingying stood up, put her hands under her black hair, and chuckled, "Silly sister, Yang Lianting is just a fox. The tiger has left the mountain, but he is still relying on the tiger's power. Today, Bao Dachu's arm was broken, and he has become a trapped beast. The reason why I temporarily spared his life is just to gradually erode Black Wood Cliff so that I can completely take over the Divine Religion."

Shen Qingjun lowered her eyes, pretending to be submissive, and flattered: "The Saint is unparalleled in wisdom and courage. She can turn her hand to make clouds and rain. Yang Lianting, this jumping clown, will soon die."

"Of course, unless..."

Ren Yingying stopped talking halfway.

Shen Qingjun asked curiously: "Unless what?"

Ren Yingying said slowly: "Unless he finds another person who has Dongfang Bubai's martial arts, sits in Black Wood Cliff, and is willing to give up power to Yang Lianting, then he can continue to bully others with his power."

Shen Qingjun smiled and said, "There will never be another Dongfang Sect Leader in the world."

"Yes, there will never be another Eastern leader in the world!"

Ren Yingying breathed a sigh of relief. Dealing with Dongfang Bubai was already extremely difficult, and he didn't believe that Yang Lianting was so lucky.

Shen Qingjun suddenly asked, "Saint Aunt, I heard that Hall Master Zhang will be attending the banquet tonight?"

Ren Yingying's voice turned cold: "Why, are you attracted to him?"

Shen Qingjun quickly explained: "No, Qingjun is Saint Aunt's person in life and Saint Aunt's ghost in death. There is absolutely no room for anyone else in my eyes, heart, and mind!"

Ren Yingying chuckled and said, "Whether you can tolerate it or not, you won't know until you try. Go ahead."

"Yes."

Shen Qingjun stood up and took out the wooden box from under the wardrobe next to the couch.

Long strip!
