Through the window that was broken by stones, Qin Xiao could clearly see several figures standing outside the courtyard.

He instantly judged that these assassins were probably sent by the Liaodong Army, and their target was him.

To capture the thief, capture the king first.

The Liaodong Army suffered a heavy loss this time and retreated to Shunjincheng. The situation was not optimistic.

The current Liaodong Army is unable to launch an offensive to the west in a short period of time. On the contrary, if Long Rui's army organizes an offensive and begins to attack Shunjincheng, the situation of Liaodong Army Huangfu Yunzhao's troops will be even more dangerous.

Under such circumstances, the Liaodong Army sent assassins in an attempt to assassinate the leader of Long Rui Army, causing Long Rui Army to fall into chaos and find an opportunity to reverse the situation. This is completely understandable.

It's just that this small private school is extremely secretive, and it's not easy to find it.

Qin Xiao had already reacted. After he left the pawn shop tonight, he was anxious. In order to rush for time, he drove faster. In his haste, he didn't pay much attention to whether he was being followed. After all, he was as fast as a horse at that time, and human legs were not as fast as horse legs. He was walking on foot.

It is of course impossible to track yourself.

He knew that if nothing unexpected happened, he would have been targeted at that time.

Among these assassins, there must be experts who are good at tracking. Although they cannot follow the fast horses, they can find them all the way by following the traces of the horses' hooves. Perhaps because of this, the opponent arrived late.

Fortunately, these assassins have only arrived now. If they were to attack suddenly while they were practicing dual cultivation, it would be fatal.

The assassins in the courtyard seemed to be waiting for something, and did not rush in immediately.

Qin Xiao glanced back and saw that in the blink of an eye, Suzaku had already put on her clothes. However, she was in a hurry and naturally couldn't dress neatly. Although she put on her underwear and wore a clean brown robe outside, the underwear was still there.

There was no time to put it on.

Her hair was tied up with a wooden hairpin. At this moment, she didn't look like a Taoist nun who had been practicing for many years. She looked like a beautiful woman in the boudoir.

Although the assassins were attacking, Qin Xiao felt calm.

He and Suzaku are both in the sixth level of cultivation. Unless there is a Datian Realm among the assassins, if the two of them join forces, it will be difficult for the other party to pose a threat to their side.

If he really had the Great Heaven Realm and respected his identity, he would not come with a group of people to assassinate him.

"Xiangu Zhuque, I have long admired you. I have worked hard to come here to see you. Can Xiangu do my best to be a landlord and come out to meet me?" A thick voice sounded outside. Qin Xiao heard the strong breath of the other party and felt a shiver in his heart. He knew it.

Those who are not good.

He originally thought that the other party was an assassin sent by the Liaodong Army, and the target was him, but as soon as the other party spoke, he immediately understood that these assassins were actually coming for Suzaku.

Suzaku had already regained his composure, and his expression was as before, unwavering, cold and calm.

She clasped her hands together, across her chest, walked slowly to the window, suddenly clapped her palm, and with a "click" sound, the window in front of her flew straight out with the entire frame, creating a square hole in the wall.

show in front of you.

Qin Xiao took two steps forward and saw clearly that there were seven or eight black figures in the courtyard, separated in a fan shape. In the middle was a tall and slender figure, with one hand behind his back. He had a goat's beard. He was probably in his early forties and was wearing a long robe.

Qin Xiao knew that it was this person who had just spoken.

The few people around were also wearing robes, and almost all of them were wearing swords. However, one of them had a hood covering his head and his hands behind his back, as if his arms were tied.

Qin Xiao was a little puzzled, but he heard that Goat Beard had already smiled and said: "The first disciple of Tianzhai has heard about it for a long time, and today I saw it, you are really charming." "Who are you?"

"Gu Liangting!" The man bowed slightly and said with a smile: "Although she has a small name, Fairy Lady is well-informed and should have some knowledge."

"Bashan Gu family?" A strange color flashed in Suzaku's eyes.

Gu Liangting smiled and said: "Xiangu really knows. Yes, we are coming from Bashan."

Qin Xiao was also a little surprised.

Although he didn't know much about Bashan's name, he heard someone mention the Bashan Sword Sect when he was in Xiling.

As we all know, the number one sword sect in the world is Sword Valley. Sword Valley is the holy place in the hearts of all swordsmen in the world, but Bashan Sword Sect is second only to Sword Valley.

However, Sword Valley has always been outside Kunlun Pass. Although many of his disciples are from the Tang Dynasty, there are also many people from the Western Regions, and there are even many mixed descendants of the Tang Dynasty and Western Regions people.

Qin Xiao had doubts. With her exquisite facial contours and extremely exaggerated devilish figure, Junior Senior Aunt Mu Yeji was probably a mixed-race descendant, with blood from the Tang Dynasty and people from the Western Regions.

So really speaking, the number one sword sect in the Tang Dynasty was actually the Bashan Sword Sect.

Although there are many masters of the Bashan Sword Sect and their swordsmanship is unique, there is no first in Wen Wu and no second in martial arts. As the second largest sword sect under Sword Valley, it has always been suppressed by Sword Valley. Swordsmen in the world

They all just had respect for Sword Valley, and many swordsmen didn't even pay attention to this number one sword sect in the Tang Dynasty.

The Bashan lineage is not only a sword sect, but also a Taoist sect.

What's more, the terrible thing is that the Bashan Sword Sect, like Dongji Tianzhai, also belongs to Zhengyishi Dao. The precepts are loose and you can marry a wife and have children.

The masters of the Bashan Sword Sect are passed down from generation to generation, and they all belong to the Gu family.

Although the Bashan Sword Sect had its glory days, a few decades ago, it was actually just one of the many sword sects in the world. Although it was slightly famous, it was far from being the number one sword sect in the Tang Dynasty.

It's just that the former headmaster of Bashan was extremely talented and became the most talented and cultivated person in a hundred years. He even reached the eighth level and was one step away from the grand master. As a result, the Bashan Sword Sect became famous and many swordsmen worshiped him.

Under Bashan Gate.

However, the existence of the Grand Master of Sword Valley became an insurmountable mountain for the former headmaster of Bashan. Although he practiced hard in the second half of his life, he was never able to step into the Grand Master realm and died in depression.

The current headmaster has kept an extremely low profile since he succeeded him as headmaster more than ten years ago. Bashan's disciples are only active in the Xichuan area. The Bashan Sword Sect is indeed the largest sect in Xichuan.

Bashan belongs to Zhengtianshi Dao, but among the Dao sects, he ranks below Dongji Tianzhai.

Dongji Tianzhai was founded by Tao Zun, so it is naturally outstanding in strength. Dao Zun is one of the few great masters in the world. Therefore, all the Dao sects who are upholding the Tao of Tianshi regard Dongji Tianzhai as the leader of the Taoist sect, even if

The Bashan Sword Sect also had to bow to Dongji Tianzhai.

Although Dao Zun later retreated to Penglai Island to recuperate, few people knew that Dao Zun was injured. Dongji Tianzhai has had an irreplaceable position in Taoism for many years.

The Bashan Sword Sect was suppressed by Sword Valley in the way of swordsmanship, and was inferior to Dongji Tianzhai in the Taoist sect. Although it was very powerful, it could only keep a low profile.

The current leader, Gu Dao, is extremely low-key and has almost never left Xichuan. However, he manages the Bashan Sword Sect in an orderly manner. Although it is still the second largest sword sect after Sword Valley, it has become very popular over the years.

Peaceful.

Everyone in the world knows the reputation of Master Bashan Gu Daoren, but what this person looks like and what his strength is are always a mystery.

Qin Xiao didn't know much about Bashan Sword Sect, but he also knew that Bashan disciples rarely went out of Sichuan. Now a group of Bashan disciples appeared and came directly towards Suzaku, which really surprised Qin Xiao.

He immediately thought that the Bashan Sword Sect might have known about Dao Zun's death.

Dongji Tianzhai suppressed the Bashan Sword Sect for many years, which made it impossible for the first sword sect in the Tang Dynasty to hold its head high. There is no doubt that the Bashan Sword Sect is extremely hostile to Dongji Tianzhai.

Compared with the disciples of Sword Valley who have been active outside the customs and rarely set foot in the Tang Dynasty, Dongji Tianzhai has always had the ambition to dominate the world, so it has always suppressed a powerful sect like the Bashan Sword Sect.

It is for this reason that the Bashan Sword Sect keeps a low profile and does not dare to be too public, lest they be targeted by Dongji Tianzhai and end up dead.

Compared to their hostility to Sword Valley, Dongji Tianzhai is the most direct opponent of Bashan Sword Sect.

If the Bashan Sword Sect wants to become the leader of the Taoist sect, it is bound to get rid of Dongji Tianzhai.

It's just that Dongji Tianzhai, with its great master at its command, is like an unshakable master. Even if the Bashan Sword Sect wants to compete with Dongji Tianzhai, it can only have more than enough ambition but not enough power.

But now that Taoist Master is dead, it is of course the perfect opportunity for the Bashan Sword Sect to dominate the Taoist sect.

Suzaku is the first disciple of Tianzhai. If Bashan wants to eradicate Dongji Tianzhai, he naturally has to start with this first disciple of Tianzhai.

Qin Xiao wanted to understand the key and was shocked in his heart.

He originally thought that after the death of Taoist Master, the powerful enemy facing Dongji Tianzhai was Tantai Xuanye. Tantai Xuanye would definitely not allow Dongji Tianzhai to survive, but now he suddenly understood that he wanted to remove Dongji Tianzhai from the world.

It’s not just Tantai Xuanye that has been wiped out.

When a tiger falls, jackals and flies will come forward to eat its flesh.

At this time, he understood even more why Suzaku did not hesitate to sacrifice the chastity he had retained for many years, but also wanted to break through to the Great Heaven Realm as soon as possible. The reason was very simple. Suzaku must have expected such a situation. After the death of Dao Zun, all walks of life in the world

People and horses will attack Dongji Tianzhai for their own purposes. As the first disciple of Tianzhai, Suzaku will definitely become the first target to be eradicated by these forces. Therefore, whether it is to revive Tianzhai or to protect himself, Suzaku

They have to do everything possible to enhance their own cultivation.

Suzaku's situation, after Tao Zun's death, was actually already in an extremely dangerous situation.

However, facing the powerful enemy coming from Bashan, Suzaku remained calm and composed. A cold wind blew past the window, caressing a lock of blue hair on her cheek. How could he be calm? He said calmly: "You have come all the way, what can I learn from you?"

Gu Liangting put one hand behind his back, stroking his goat's beard and said: "It's really sad to hear that the Taoist priest has become immortal and that our Taoist sect has lost its leader. Fairy Girl, I would like to express my condolences to you and hope that you will be considerate and considerate."

"You've come thousands of miles away. Let me tell you what you have to say directly. No need to be long-winded." Suzaku said calmly.

Gu Liangting smiled and said: "That's fine. Fairy aunt, although Dongji Tianzhai and Bashan Sword Sect are two sects, in the final analysis they are all one family. We are all Zhengyishi Sect, and for so many years, for the unity of the Taoist sect, Bashan

I have always looked up to Tianzhai, and our relationship is very harmonious."

"So what do you want to say?"

"With Tao Zun in Tianzhai, all the sects in the world dare not act rashly." Gu Liangting said seriously: "In the past few decades, Taoism has become the leader of the world, and those of us who practice Tao are respected by others. Now that Tao Zun has emerged, Tian

Zhai's status is not guaranteed, and various factions in the world are ready to take action. If no one from the Taoist sect steps forward to take up the heavy burden left by the Taoist master, then the Taoist sect will inevitably be weak. In just a few years, Zhengyi Shidao will no longer have a position in the world.
