Chapter 168: I Have Long Given Up Being a Swordsman
"Brother, what do you say?" Saint Lady Bai Lian turned and looked at Liu Wuji.
The head brother sent a message at this time, which must mean something big is happening.
Outsiders do not know Liu Wuji's current situation, even Yue Wuhen, the head of the sect, is still kept in the dark.
"It doesn't matter. Your decision is my decision."
Liu Wuji has one hundred percent trust in the Saint Lady White Lotus.
"Wait till I come back."
After saying this, Saint Lady Bai Lian turned into a stream of light and disappeared before their eyes.
……
Yunxi Sect, main peak hall.
Sect Master Yue Wuhen sat in the main seat, looking at the woman in red below, and asked again: "Do you really want to join my Yunxi Sect?"
The woman in red is Suzaku.
After returning from the ancient battlefield, she seriously thought about Chi Yu's words, and finally made up her mind to join the Yunxi Sect!
Facing Yue Wuhen's repeated questioning, Zhuque replied calmly: "To be precise, it is to join Tianchi Peak."
"Who are you?"
Zhuque's words happened to be heard by the late-coming Saint Bailian, who immediately asked him questions.
"One of the four great guards of the original Dragon Temple, Suzaku."
"So it's you!" Hearing her answer, Saint Bai Lian was stunned at first, and then anger rushed to her heart.
It was this woman who nearly killed my brother! If she hadn't insisted on sparring with him, the evil spirit in his body wouldn't have erupted in advance.
She suppressed the anger in her heart and looked at him coldly: "Give me a reason."
"Senior Liu, the elder of Tianchi Peak, is the person I respect the most." Zhuque said solemnly, "Are you satisfied with this answer?"
In this life, there are only two and a half people that Suzaku can respect.
One of them was her biological father, but he had passed away many years ago.
The second is Liu Wuji. Zhuque is convinced and has nothing to say about him.
As for the remaining half, it was Ye Xiao, the old Dragon King of the Dragon God Temple. Of course, the relationship between him and Ye Xiao was more of a relationship of interest.
"Absolutely ridiculous!"
Lei Badao, the great elder, threw his sleeves heavily and said in a cold voice, "From what I see, I'm afraid you are an undercover sent by the Dragon God Temple, right?"
"Whatever you think."
Zhuque was not impressed by the old man and shrugged indifferently, "Anyway, I have nothing to do with the Dragon Temple anymore. Of course, you can also capture me and claim credit for it at the Dragon Temple."
“This…” Yue Wuhen didn’t know how to decide for a moment and looked at several elders.
Lei Badao was the first to speak out: "Master, if we keep this person, we will be making an enemy of the Dragon God Temple! The gain will not make up for the loss! You must think carefully!"
"What the Great Elder said makes sense."
The fourth elder who was always a fence-sitter echoed, "This person is a disaster. Keeping her here will not bring any benefit to our sect! The correct solution is to capture her and hand her over to the Dragon God Temple for punishment!"
"Hmph! What nonsense!"
The usually silent Third Elder stood on the opposite side of the two this time, "The Dragon God Temple has always acted in a domineering and arrogant manner. Hasn't our Yunxi Sect suffered enough at their hands?"
He still remembered that a batch of top-quality meteorite iron that he bought at a high price was robbed by people from the Dragon God Temple halfway.
He went to argue in person, but not only did he not get the meteorite back, he was also mercilessly humiliated.
After a pause, he added:
"Besides, if we tie them up and hand them over to the Dragon God Temple for disposal, how will outsiders view our Yunxi Sect? Will they think that our sect is full of people who are greedy for life and afraid of death?"
"Third Elder, stop arguing!" The Second Elder also stood up, "In my opinion, this person has bad intentions! I agree with the First Elder and the Fourth Elder! The correct answer is to take him down!"
"@%!..."
Except for Saint Lady Bai Lian, the other elders were arguing with each other, their faces red.
Seeing that there was no conclusion after arguing for a long time, Yue Wuhen coughed lightly and looked at the White Lotus Saint Aunt: "What is your opinion?"
Suddenly, the hall fell silent.
Everyone looked over there.
After all, they specifically asked me to join Tianchi Peak.
Since Liu Wuji was not here, she had the final say. Everyone knew the unclear relationship between the two.
After a short silence, Saint White Lotus slowly spoke: "If you want to join, you can! But you must defeat the sword in my hand first!"
After saying that, she flipped her hand and a deep blue sword appeared out of thin air.
Feeling the chill coming from the palm of her hand, Saint Bai Lian sighed inwardly: So many years have passed, I almost forgot what it feels like to hold a sword.
It was the first time for the elders to see the Saint Lady draw her sword, and they were all shocked.
After all, in their impression, the Saint Lady is just an alchemy practitioner.
She is indeed an expert at making elixirs.
But fighting is definitely not her forte.
"Saint Aunt, what's irritating you today?" The Third Elder couldn't help but ask.
"Nothing to do with you."
The White Lotus Saint didn't even bother to look at him, and pointed her sword directly at Suzaku, "Do you dare to accept the challenge?"
Suzaku didn't answer, but nodded silently.
The two men walked outside the hall, each holding a weapon, and stood facing each other.
The third elder standing next to Yue Wuhen said with a worried look on his face: "Sect Master, why don't you let me do it! Saint Aunt is a layman when it comes to swordplay..."
"Outsider? Hahaha~"
Yue Wuhen suddenly laughed a few times, and looked at the other party with a joking expression, "I'm not trying to discourage you, but your attainments in swordsmanship may not be better than my junior sister!"
"I haven't seen her draw her sword in years! I'm looking forward to it."
Just brag! She doesn't look like she's cut out for wielding a sword!
The third elder curled his lips and did not answer, his eyes cast towards the two people who were staring at each other in the distance.
*
The White Lotus Saint wiped the sword in her hand and said expressionlessly, "How about one move to decide the outcome?"
"Exactly what I want!"
A gust of wind blew, rolling up a few fallen leaves on the ground, and the White Lotus Saint took the initiative to attack.
When the frost blade was unsheathed, a flash of cold light appeared for a hundred miles.
"Ice burial!"
Faced with this chill that seemed to freeze everything, Zhuque did not dare to be careless. The spear in his hand turned into a dragon and jumped up:
"Starfall!"
"Boom~"
A deafening explosion sounded, ice chips flew all over the sky, and sparks splashed everywhere.
The two of them stepped back at the same time.
The difference is that the White Lotus Saint took three steps back, while the Vermillion Bird only took two steps back.
The winner is decided with just one move.
“This…” Although Saint Lady Bai Lian was defeated, the sword she just used was enough to impress the other elders of Yunxi Sect.
Especially the third elder, who was known as a sword fanatic, was stunned where he stood.
He kept muttering: "She...she is actually a swordsman!"
"I have long stopped being a sword cultivator."
Saint Lady Bai Lian looked at the Third Elder expressionlessly, dropped her sword to the ground with a clang, and smiled faintly at Suzaku: "You won."
