Chapter 398 The Three Heroes Test the Three Flowers Temple, Flying Swallow Heroine Enters Leizhou
Under the siege of the martial arts practitioners in Leizhou, all the forces of the East Sea Dragon Palace, except for the Dongfang sisters, were wiped out.
The Dongfang sisters are, after all, only at their peak, and their strength is among the best in the martial arts world.
Xu Qi'an and Chu Yuanzhen could certainly use their trump cards to pursue and kill him, but there was no need for it.
Since their mission was to rescue the Holy Son and enter the Sanhua Temple, the Dongfang sisters were not necessarily to be killed.
Dongfang Wanrong summoned a bird demon battle spirit, and the two sisters took to the air, not daring to stop for a moment.
After flying for two days, they entered the Buddhist kingdom and finally landed with peace of mind.
Dongfang Wanqing and her maid stayed at a distance, not approaching, but keeping a watchful eye on the situation.
"The two people living next door, a scholar and a warrior, discovered us."
"But why did they take Li Lang away? If that brute hadn't forcibly taken him, we could have taken Li Lang with us."
At this moment, the younger sister, Dongfang Wanqing, took out a piece of paper from her hand.
"Sister Rong, Sister Qing, life is precious, love is more valuable, but if you ask about freedom, both can be given up."
I once thought of spending my days with you all, living a carefree and unrestrained life, galloping on horseback, and sharing in the splendor of the world.
"But I bear the mission of inheriting the Heavenly Sect's legacy, and my love and hate are beyond my control. Please forgive my departure; I will seek my own path."
With red-rimmed eyes, Dongfang Wanqing gritted her teeth and said, "This heartless and ungrateful man, I will definitely kill him."
Dongfang Wanrong sighed softly, "So it was Li Lang who conspired with those two."
Dongfang Wanqing's pretty face turned frosty as she spat out each word through gritted teeth: "Next time I see him, I'll break his legs so he can never run away again."
Dongfang Wanrong sighed softly: "Fine, if he wants freedom, then let him be free. He has indeed been unhappy for the past six months."
"Once we re-establish the Witch God Cult, we'll find an opportunity to bring him here."
……
Leizhou.
Xu Qi'an and Chu Yuanzhen rode their horses expressionlessly.
“Scholar Chu, I regret saving this fellow.”
“Ning Yan, you can’t disobey your master’s orders, so just bear with it. You need a foothold to go to Leizhou, and the Wen family has quite a bit of influence there.”
“I’ll endure it. We saved the Holy Son, so let’s live off him. I’ll ask him about the details.”
Ahead, Li Lingsu and Wenren Qianrou were riding a horse together.
“Dear sister, for the past six months, you have been with me while I eat, while I sleep, while I bathe, and even when I meditate and seek enlightenment, you are still the image that comes to mind.”
Wenren Qianrou listened with tears welling up in her eyes, her emotions a mixture of being moved, infatuated, and adoring.
"You were really careless, actually falling into the hands of the Eastern sisters."
Li Lingsu shook her head: "I have been on the run and have not let them get what they want. This time, I have stumbled."
Wenren Qianrou retorted angrily, "Serves you right, who told you to attract so many admirers?"
Li Lingsu looked distressed and sighed, "I just made a mistake that all men make, until I met you and learned what is right."
Wenren Qianrou was a clever woman who helped her father manage the business association in an orderly and efficient manner.
But in the face of love, she lost her mind; she was just an ordinary girl.
Hearing these cheesy pickup lines makes me feel lightheaded.
Xu Qi'an shivered as he listened to these corny pickup lines. He secretly transmitted his voice and asked, "How powerful is the Leizhou Chamber of Commerce in Leizhou?"
Li Lingsu responded: "You can tell from the name that their financial resources are second to none, and in terms of experts, they have several fourth-rank masters."
Actually, if Sister Rong and Sister Qing hadn't been so persistent, I would have gone back to Leizhou with Rou'er.
Because it's in Leizhou, even Sister Rong and Sister Qing have to be somewhat wary of it.
Of course, in a direct confrontation, their fighting strength would still overwhelm that of the Leizhou Chamber of Commerce.
These are not the main points. Xu Qi'an asked telepathically, "Have you slept with this girl?"
"When emotions run deep, everything happens naturally."
"But Brother Xu, don't worry, Rou'er is different from the Dongfang sisters. She's not as extreme; she's well-educated and reasonable."
Li Lingsu hurriedly explained via telepathy.
Stop talking nonsense. I'm already prepared to abandon you at any time! Xu Qi'an said expressionlessly.
After meeting his master and completing his mission, he decided to stay far away from this guy.
This guy is even worse at abusing affection than his master. At least his master has some self-respect...
Wenren Mansion, main hall.
Wenren Qianrou ordered tea and Leizhou specialty fruits to be served.
Because of the large temperature difference between day and night, the fruits in Leizhou are sweeter than those in other places.
As Xu Qi'an ate, he said, "The Wen family is indeed very wealthy and powerful."
Wenren Qianrou smiled and nodded: "The demons and barbarians are at war, but their business with the southern barbarians is doing quite well. In fact, they are more trustworthy."
"This depends entirely on the Gu Clan, especially the Heavenly Gu Clan. The Heavenly Gu Clan has never lacked wise men and has enough prestige. They believe that the Southern Frontier should trade with the Great Feng, and other tribes will not dare to disrupt it."
"Of course, there are also many barbarian tribes in the southern border region who are old-fashioned and inflexible. They eat raw meat and drink blood, they use human sacrifices, and there are even cases of fathers and sons killing each other. If a son wants to inherit his father's property, he can only do so by killing his father."
Father and son killing each other? I think you're implying something about me, Xu Qi'an thought to himself.
Xu Qi'an cut to the chase: "Does Miss Wenren know about the Sanhua Temple in Leizhou?"
Wenren Qianrou nodded.
"Has anything unusual happened at Sanhua Temple lately?"
Wenren Qianrou pondered for a moment, then shook her head and said, "There is nothing unusual, but in nine days, it will be the day the Floating Pagoda opens."
Xu Qi'an laughed and said, "You also know that the Floating Pagoda has recently been opened?"
Wenren Qianrou was taken aback, then smiled faintly: "It is said that the Futu Pagoda was once a place where Buddhists enshrined relics and the golden bodies left behind by eminent monks after their passing, reflecting a deep Buddhist heart."
It opens once every sixty years; those destined to enter can obtain treasures.
"It is said that anyone who obtains treasures in the pagoda eventually converts to Buddhism."
By the way, a while ago, some people did say that the Pagoda was shining brightly with golden light and emitting bursts of dragon roars.
The Sanhua Temple explained that the extraordinary phenomenon arose because the pagoda had achieved perfect merit.
Xu Qi'an thought to himself, this must be the dragon energy that my master was talking about.
When did the dragon energy of the Great Feng become the "perfect merit" of your Buddhist sect? It's obvious you want to monopolize the dragon energy.
Where is Sanhua Temple located? How close is it to Leizhou City?
"At full speed, it will only take half a day to arrive."
Xu Qi'an nodded slowly and looked at Chu Yuanzhen and the Holy Son of Tianzong: "I want to go and gather some intelligence first."
Li Lingsu thought to herself, "Xu Qi'an and his companion came to Leizhou for the Floating Pagoda, their purpose is not pure at all."
"Brother Xu, Brother Chu, you saved my life, I'll go with you!"
“No need, you and Miss Wenren…” Xu Qi’an said, Li Lingsu’s enthusiasm made him feel strange.
"Gentlemen, please do not test me. I am by no means a person who would forget loyalty for the sake of beauty!" The Holy Son of the Heavenly Sect glanced at Wenren Qianrou.
Wenren Qianrou looked at her lover tenderly, her beautiful eyes filled with admiration. Li Lang was indeed a man of great loyalty.
"Alright then," Xu Qi'an said.
Li Lingsu secretly massaged her lower back; she had managed to preserve her kidney essence for the day.
Wenren Qianrou was indeed a well-educated and reasonable person. She was not angry at all. Instead, she said considerately, "Please wait a moment, Mr. Li."
She brought out a black wooden box, opened the lid, and inside lay an extended version of a musket.
"The monks of Sanhua Temple are used to being arrogant. Now that your cultivation has been sealed, bring this with you, and they will feel more at ease."
"This musket is a magical weapon my father bought at great expense; anyone below the Refining Spirit Realm will surely die."
As for the Refining Spirit Realm, as long as you lock onto your opponent, they will be detected in advance by the martial artist's premonition of danger.
Li Lingsu picked up the musket and looked at Xu Qi'an and Chu Yuanzhen with high spirits.
"Brothers, today the three of us have stormed the Sanhua Temple. This will be a legendary tale in the future!"
The other two remained silent, then turned and walked outside.
I, Xu Qi'an, am a fine man; how could I associate with a scoundrel like you?
I, Chu Yuanzhen, have at least received some education and know about propriety, righteousness, integrity, and a sense of shame.
Sanhua Temple is located on the outskirts of Qingning City, in a place called Jinguang Mountain.
The temple was extremely large, with as many as two thousand monks practicing there.
