Assassin Seven, starting in Shennong Kingdom!

Chapter 126 Visiting the Heavenly Lotus Sect

In the northern part of Xuanwu Kingdom, there is Plum Blossom Manor.

A mountain villa sits amidst the snow and ice.

Behind the villa is a plum blossom grove, blooming proudly and tenaciously in this harsh and cold place.

My name is Plum Blossom Thirteen, and I am the thirteenth daughter of the Plum Blossom Hero...

Inside Plum Blossom Manor, in the martial arts training ground.

Two figures stood on the newly cleaned martial arts training ground in the courtyard. One was an elderly man with a strong and robust build, holding a long spear.

The other person had white hair, but his body stood straight in the wind and snow, like a peerless divine sword.

"The nineteenth generation successor of the Overlord Spear has come to seek your guidance!"

"Take action."

The white-haired old man stood motionless on the training ground.

"drink!!"

In the wind and snow, a long spear emerged like a wild dragon, thrusting straight at the old man with a full head of white hair. The spear's momentum was domineering and fierce, and its power was profound.

however……

Ding!

A sword aura emanated from the old man's sharp gaze, subtly containing sword energy.

Zheng!

Without drawing his sword, he shattered the head of the Overlord Spear with just his sword energy!

The heir of the Overlord Spear was injured. After barely getting up, he admitted defeat and left the manor.

Plum Blossom Hero turned around and went back into the manor.

Ok?

Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he noticed a figure running out of the corner, quietly reaching the corner, and picking up the spearhead of the Overlord Spear that had been broken by his sword energy.

pity……

Without paying any further attention, they went straight to the back of the villa, to a pavilion.

A figure with equally white hair, but a very young face, wearing a dark blue robe.

He gave a slight bow and said, "Senior."

"The essence of the Azure Cloud Flowing Water Sword has been taught to you. Let's go."

"...Thank you, senior."

After a moment of silence, Qingfeng bowed again and said, "Senior, is there anything I can do for you? There are rumors in the martial world..."

These days, things aren't going peaceful at Plum Blossom Manor.

Legend has it that the owner of Plum Blossom Manor is arrogant by nature, and he accepts all challenges without hesitation, never showing any mercy.

This has also attracted the ire of too many people.

A group of resentful individuals secretly gathered a large number of experts, preparing to harm Plum Blossom Manor.

Qingfeng arrived here from Dange about two months ago to seek instruction from the master of Plum Blossom Manor on the secret martial art of Qingyun Kingdom, "Qingyun Flowing Water Sword." Along the way, she learned a great deal.

"..."

The Plum Blossom Hero walked to the pavilion without any ripples in his expression. "They're just petty scoundrels. What's there to fear? Go away."

Qingfeng said nothing more, "Farewell."

After leaving Plum Blossom Manor, Qingfeng did not return to Dan Pavilion. Instead, she wrote a letter and sent it back to Dan Pavilion by carrier pigeon.

……

A few days later, at the Dan Pavilion of Xuanwu Kingdom.

"Master, what about my junior brother...?"

Xinyu and Chen Xiaoju looked at the letter in Qin Ming's hand with some trepidation.

They all knew about Qingfeng's background, and after so many years of getting along, they understood his personality well and were worried that he might do something impulsive.

And the letter in Qin Ming's hand was indeed like that.

"Master, I bear a blood feud and dare not implicate others... Please take care. —Qingfeng"

Qin Ming casually placed the letter aside, dressed in a black robe.

Xinyu and Chen Xiaoju hurriedly stepped forward to check the contents of the letter, not caring whether Qin Ming would be unhappy.

Snapped!

"Tsk."

Qin Ming casually placed a token on the table, stood up and said, "Xinyu, you will temporarily act as the Pavilion Master. I have some business to attend to, so don't look for me."

"division……!?"

Xinyu realized what was happening, but by the time she looked up, Qin Ming had already vanished.

With a puff of his cheeks, he grabbed the token on the table and threw it out the window.

swoosh~

Snapped!

"Hey! Who is it?! Don't they have any sense of public decency?! Littering...?!!"

The passerby stared in disbelief at the flying dragon overhead and the token in his hand.

"Roar!!"

Qin Ming on the flying dragon, "..."

They flew towards Xuanwu Island, but halfway there, a figure jumped onto them.

That's right, it's jumping straight up... 100 meters in the air.

"Hey handsome, where are you going? Take me with you!"

Lanminghua wiped away his sweat and finally escaped.

I looked down and almost popped my eyes out. I saw a large group of people chasing after me from below.

"Sect Leader!! Where are you going?!"

"How dare you! You actually dared to kidnap our Heavenly Dragon Gang leader! Who are you?! If you have the guts, come down here... Waaaaah!?"

Jianglong Fuhu grabbed the hothead who had just joined the Tianlong Gang, gagged him tightly, and gave him a good beating.

Tell you to talk too much!

You're so blind! How dare you insult this person?! Are you out of your mind?!

Qin Ming was also surprised that someone would hitch a ride (a "ride-sharing dragon"), and was quite speechless. He glanced at Lan Minghua and asked, "Where are you going?"

Lanming Hua stood steadily on the back of the flying dragon, one hand in his pocket. Even though the dragon tried to tilt him reluctantly, it couldn't throw him off. "I don't know, anyway, it's fine as long as we're not in Xuanwu Kingdom. Go wherever you want. By the way, where are you going?"

"Tianlian Sect, let's stop by Plum Blossom Manor on the way."

Are these two places on the way?

Lanminghua picked his nose and said, "Forget it, it's not important. Just drop me off somewhere far away from the Tianlong Gang, anywhere is fine."

call!

The flying dragon stopped at the Tianlian Sect, and Qin Ming went to pay his respects to Lianzang.

There was hardly anyone around; it was deserted.

"These past few years, the Heavenly Lotus Sect has been facing a shortage of promising young talents, which has been quite difficult, alas..."

"Lanminghua stood aside and sighed."

The two didn't see many Tianlian Sect disciples on their way up the mountain. Although it was one of the six major sects, the Tianlian Sect's rules were too strict. If one wasn't raised from a young age or was naturally simple and honest, it would be difficult to endure such a monotonous life.

With the two highly anticipated disciples, Lianzang and Qinglian, suffering misfortunes one after another, the Tianlian Sect Leader was also exhausted.

There is no extra energy left to expand the Tianlian Sect.

"Let's go."

Qin Ming turned and left. The Tianlian Sect was indeed facing a shortage of capable successors.

Aside from the unparalleled master, Tianlian Sect Leader, they couldn't even find a disciple whose strength reached the first-rate level. Jiang Huilian might be able to achieve that using secret techniques, but it would still be difficult.

As for Fei Lian, she has talent, but she has no interest in practicing martial arts and is rarely at the Tianlian Sect.

For now, the only hope is that the Heavenly Lotus Sect Leader will live a few more years and wait for Jiang Huilian to grow up.

The premise is that Jiang Huilian doesn't cause any problems...

"senior."

On his way down the mountain, Qin Ming happened to see Jiang Huilian preparing to go up the mountain. Many years had passed, and she had grown into a young woman with clear and pure eyes and a restrained charm. It was clear that she had received the true teachings of the Heavenly Lotus Technique.

However, his skills are still shallow.

A much taller boy followed beside him.

"Ah."

"Who is this?"

The boy beside her looked at the two curiously, and Jiang Huilian introduced, "This senior is..."

He hesitated for a moment, then glanced at Qin Ming and said, "It's alright."

"Senior Qin Ming, and this one too?"

Seeing Lanminghua, he paused again, but he didn't look down on Lanminghua because of his clothes.

Lanminghua waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "Just call me Huazai, don't worry about it."

"I wouldn't dare, I am Jiang Huilian." She then raised her hand to introduce the young man beside her, "This is my junior brother, A-Quan."

"Young man, are your gums bleeding?"

Ah Quan (Red Fang), "...?! (Angry)"

His teeth weren't caused by the Blood Demon; they were simply the way they were born.

After exchanging a few words, they prepared to leave, but unexpectedly, the Sect Leader of Tianlian also came down from the mountain.

"Huilian, Aquan, you two go first."

"Yes, Master (Sect Leader)."

After seeing the two off, Sect Leader Tianlian invited Qin Ming and his companion to visit the sect, seemingly having something to discuss.
