Liang Yan looked at the dozen or so Taoists from a distance. Their auras were not weak, and they all had cultivation levels above the Tongxuan realm.
While they were running away, they were still discussing something in low voices.
Liang Yan was curious, but he was too embarrassed to use his spiritual sense to pry, so he could only listen.
I vaguely heard "robbed bride", "forced marriage"... and other strange words.
"What kind of trouble is this?"
Liang Yan was surprised and couldn't help but have many associations.
While I was thinking about it, another escaping light flashed through the air, but it was an experienced Taoist in the Tribulation Realm. The direction he looked at should be the same place where the previous Taoists were going.
This time, Liang Yan did not hesitate, he cast a ray of light and quickly caught up with this person.
"Wait a moment, fellow Taoist!" Liang Yan shouted from behind.
After hearing this, the Taoist in front stopped using the light and turned around, only to see a thin old Taoist with a fluttering white beard.
"What are you calling me for, fellow Taoist?" the man asked with a puzzled look on his face.
Liang Yan bowed his head and said with a smile: "I am Liu Xundao. I was invited by Shen Biyou to participate in the virtual realm discussion. I don't know what you call me?"
"Oh, it turns out to be Fellow Daoist Liu, nice to meet you!"
The old Taoist also bowed his head: "My name is Jiang Bao, and my Taoist name is Jiang Shenggong."
"Fellow Daoist Jiang, just now I saw many monks rushing in the same direction. Even fellow Taoist monks were in a hurry. I wonder what big thing happened?"
"You don't know yet?" Jiang Bao looked surprised.
"Haha, I have been in seclusion in the cave for the past few months, and I don't know anything about the outside world. I would like to ask my Taoist brother to clarify my doubts."
"No wonder."
Jiang Bao showed a hint of surprise and said with a smile: "Young Daoist Liu almost missed a big show. Your good friend Shen Biyou refused the marriage appointed by Dao Kui himself. This woman is so shameless that she brought Yaoguang Cave Heaven with you. I came to force you to get married, and I have already had five gambling fights in the past few months!"
"Oh? This happened!" Liang Yan was slightly surprised.
In fact, he knew a little bit about Shen Biyou's affairs, but it was his private matter and it was not easy for him to get involved. What's more, he was too busy with his own affairs, so he never asked about it.
Unexpectedly, during the few months he was in seclusion, people from Xuanling Cave and Yaoguang Cave actually started fighting!
"I don't understand this..."
Liang Yan looked puzzled: "We cultivators only want to be free and at ease, and we don't have to get married. There are not many pairs of Taoists in the entire Xuanling Cave, right? Besides, this is a private matter between the two of them, how can they let the two of them get married? Did Dadongtian start a gambling fight because of this?"
"My Taoist friends don't know. Back then, Tao Kui once said that as long as the two of them become Taoist couples, they will receive many benefits and give them to Yaoguang Cave, and Shen Biyou will also be asked to move to Yaoguang Cave."
"Isn't this... isn't this a step into the secular world?" Liang Yan said in surprise.
"Exactly so!"
Jiang Bao said with a smile: "That's why the genius of Yaoguang Cave mobilized so many troops. Junior Brother Shen's refusal to marry is tantamount to a slap in their face. Those sword cultivators are not Yi Yi people. They are clamoring to kidnap Shen Biyou." .Of course our brothers and sisters in Xuanling Cave Heaven can’t swallow this breath, so we have this bet and fight agreement.”
Liang Yan still found it incredible after hearing this, and asked again: "Where are the senior saints from Xuanling Cave? Do you not care?"
"hehe."
Jiang Bao laughed and said: "Those masters and uncles are all idle clouds and wild cranes. They will not care about such matters. They will only let the disciples solve it on their own."
"I see..." Liang Yan nodded.
It seems that these Taoist saints are really carefree, it is difficult to meet them on weekdays, and they will not interfere in ordinary matters.
"I just heard from Fellow Daoist Jiang that there have been five fights. I wonder what the outcome will be?" Liang Yan couldn't help but ask.
"Three out of five games, our Xuanling Cave won three games."
Jiang Bao said this, paused, and then said: "Originally, the last match was very high, and the opponent was Yaoguang Dongtian's Yin Yang Sword Baimei, but for some reason, this person did not show up at the competition site on time, and he was replaced by another one in the end.
The sword cultivator who is not as strong as him was lucky enough to be defeated by us."
After hearing this, Liang Yan's heart moved: "When was the last fight?"
"Exactly a month ago."
"That's it..." Liang Yan understood in his heart.
The reason why Bai Mei did not appear in the competition arena was because he was held back by him.
The two fought swords in the valley for three days, and then talked about Taoism for three days. I am afraid that Bai Mei has long forgotten the matter of gambling and fighting.
In other words, under some circumstances, he actually helped Shen Biyou!
"Since Yaoguang Dongtian has lost, he should leave here, right?" Liang Yan asked.
"Hey, you underestimate these sword cultivators. Do you know who Shen Biyou's fiancée is?"
"Who is it?" Liang Yan showed a hint of curiosity.
Jiang Bao chuckled and said: "She is the famous 'Lotus Sword' Dongfang Guo. There is probably only one person in the entire Yaoguang Cave and the Holy Realm who can compete with her."
"oh?"
Liang Yan became interested immediately.
"As far as I know, the sword cultivators in Yaoguang Cave are divided into Taoist swordsmen and Zhuojian swordsmen. I wonder which sect of sword cultivators this Eastern Fairy is?"
"Of course it is the Dao sword style. Only the Dao sword can reach the pinnacle. Dongfang Guo is not only gifted, but her sword heart is also a wonderful sword heart that is rare to see in ten thousand years!"
After hearing this, Liang Yan chuckled and said, "Forgive me for being ignorant, but I wonder what is so wonderful about this 'Miaojianxin'?"
Jiang Bao pondered for a moment and then said slowly: "The old Taoist has only heard that the 'Miaojianxin' can discern the wonderful changes in all things in the world. It can observe the subtle changes and control everything. Therefore, the sword technique and sword intention can have infinite changes. For ordinary people,
It’s hard to even see through one level.”
Liang Yan showed a trace of wonder and said in deep thought: "I didn't expect that there is such a sword heart in the world. From this point of view, this woman is indeed a genius that will never be born in ten thousand years... Why did Brother Shen refuse such a marriage? Could it be this?
Is the girl extremely ugly?"
"No! No!"
Jiang Bao waved his hands repeatedly: "In terms of appearance, Dongfang Guo is ranked second, and no one in the entire Tao Alliance would dare to be ranked first."
After hearing this, Liang Yan said curiously: "This is strange and strange. This girl is top-notch in terms of talent, strength and appearance! Why does Brother Shen still seem to be at a disadvantage and avoid her everywhere?"
"How do I know this?"
Jiang Bao sighed: "Junior brother Shen is also a genius. He has become a sub-sage in just a few hundred years. Looking at the history of the Taoist alliance, it is unique. According to the Taoist view, if these two people become Taoist couples, they will be a perfect match. Very good! It’s a pity that Junior Brother Shen has been running away from marriage, and no matter how many people tried to persuade him, it’s useless. To be honest, if Yaoguang Dongtian hadn’t been too domineering this time, all the old masters would have wanted to kidnap Junior Brother Shen and send him away!”
"Yeah." Liang Yan nodded.
Even he felt that Shen Biyou had gone a bit too far, but this matter had nothing to do with him and it was hard to comment too much.
Jiang Bao added: "Back to the topic, Yaoguang Dongtian lost the competition, so he should have gone home. But Dongfang Guo is not a fuel-efficient lamp. In order to force Shen Biyou to get married, he actually burned his Then he set up the Lotus Sword Formation outside the cave and threatened that if Shen Biyou didn't get married, he wouldn't be let out."
After hearing these words, even the well-informed Liang Yan was stunned for a moment.
"ah?"
He really didn't expect that this female swordsman named "Dongfang Guo" would do this to force Shen Biyou to get married.
Isn’t this too tough?
Is this still a Taoist fairy?
Although Liang Yan didn't like to get involved in other people's affairs, he couldn't help but become interested after hearing this.
"So, why do you think everyone is rushing in the same direction? Such an interesting thing, of course you have to see it!"
Jiang Bao caressed his long beard and smiled, looking like he was just watching the fun and not taking it too seriously.
"It's indeed interesting." Liang Yan smiled and nodded.
"Fellow Taoist, we happened to meet each other, why don't we go together?" Jiang Bao extended an invitation to him.
"Go, go, go!"
Liang Yan did not hesitate and followed Jiang Bao to fly to Shen Biyou's cave.
The two of them flew through the air, and about half an hour later, they saw a dark crowd in the distance.
I saw the Taoists from Xuanling Cave gathered here in twos and threes. The ones with high cultivation level were the Patriarchs of Transformation Tribulation, and the ones with low cultivation level were only in the Foundation Establishment stage. They were all floating in mid-air at this time, with three circles inside and three outside, forming an impenetrable circle.
"Borrow the road, borrow the road." Jiang Bao shouted impatiently.

"Uncle Master!"
The surrounding disciples immediately made way for Jiang Bao to lead Liang Yan to the front.
Looking from a distance, I saw that Shen Biyou's cave had been burned into ruins, and above the ruins, within a radius of a hundred miles, there were countless pink petals floating.
"Huh?"
Liang Yan was stunned for a moment.
The scenery in front of you is simply beautiful! It's like a goddess scattering flowers. It's not that the petals themselves are so gorgeous, but the trajectory of these petals flying in the air, which vaguely coincides with the mystery of heaven, so it's so beautiful!
He looked carefully for a moment, and suddenly his heart moved, and he realized that these petals were composed of extremely fine sword energy.
Someone actually used sword energy as needle and thread to embroider this unique flower spectrum that stretches for hundreds of miles in one breath!
"There is such a mysterious swordsmanship in the Taoist sect!"
Liang Yan was quite shocked. He looked up and saw a white cloud lotus floating in the sky in the distance.
There is a woman standing on the lotus, with bare feet and snow-skinned skin, long hair like a waterfall, a slender and straight figure, and a moon-white robe dancing in the wind.
This woman has a graceful appearance, but her eyes are extremely sharp.
In particular, there is a faint blue spiritual pattern between her eyebrows, like a blooming ice lotus, which adds a bit of chilling air!
"It's really stunning!"
Even though Liang Yan had seen so many beautiful female cultivators, he couldn't help but praise in his heart at this moment. This girl is indeed stunningly beautiful!
"I didn't lie to you, did I?" Jiang Bao seemed to have guessed what he was thinking, and chuckled from the side.
Liang Yan was noncommittal and glanced around, looking for traces of Shen Biyou among the ruins.
At this time, I heard the woman on the white cloud say coldly: "Shen Biyou! How long are you going to hide from me? If you don't come out, I will burn your Biyou Valley!"
After saying that, seeing no reaction in the ruins, she made a spell, flew out a crimson scroll from her sleeve, and slowly unfolded it in mid-air.
boom!
There was only a muffled thunderous explosion, and the scroll burst into flames. Then large fire meteors fell from the sky, covering every corner of the valley.
"stop!"
A loud shout rang out from the ruins.
Immediately afterwards, a man wearing a blue Taoist robe appeared, made a hand seal, and brushed a blue mist from the back of his head, which divided into thousands of strands and spread rapidly around.
It’s none other than Shen Biyou!
His Xuan Qing Immortal Qi was unpredictable, like rain falling from the sky, and quickly extinguished the flames in the valley.
"It doesn't matter if you burn my cave, but this valley is full of medicinal herbs that have been transplanted from the teacher for thousands of years. If you dare to set fire to the forest, have you thought about the consequences?" Shen Biyou shouted sharply.
After hearing this, the woman on the cloud and mist didn't change her face at all, and said calmly: "Of course I know the consequences, but I also know that you will definitely come out."
"Dongfang Guo, go back, I won't go with you!" Shen Biyou said with a cold face.
"That's not up to you."
Dongfang Guo's eyes never changed, as if she made up her mind to do something and nothing would interfere with it.
"You and I have no chance, so why persist?" Shen Biyou sighed.
"Whether it is fate or not, it is not you who has the final say. The road ahead is difficult, but I have to go for it!" Dongfang Guo's voice was clearly graceful and gentle, but her tone after she finished speaking gave people a cold feeling.
"Oh, you won't understand. I have long forgotten the past, so don't bother me anymore!"
After Shen Bi finished her talk, she turned around and left.
But as soon as his escape light came on, countless pink petals appeared around him, and layers of sword energy surrounded him, preventing him from taking a step forward.
"What do you want?" Shen Biyou said helplessly.
"You and I have another bet. As long as you can walk out of my 'Lotus Sword Formation', I will leave immediately and will not come to you for a hundred years. But if you lose, you only need to follow me back to Yaoguang Live in the cave for one year."
After hearing this, Shen Biyou turned around and asked, "Is this true?"
"No joke." Dongfang Guo said calmly.
"Then is there a time limit for this bet?" Shen Biyou asked again.
Dongfang Guo hesitated for a moment: "Just...three years!"
"Three years?"
After hearing this, everyone onlookers couldn't help showing expressions of surprise.
Liang Yan is no exception.
According to his past experience, this kind of bet usually lasts for a few days, not a few months. This is the first time he has encountered a bet like this that lasts for three years.
"Three years... Are you deliberately humiliating Junior Brother Shen because she is certain that she will not be able to break her sword formation?" Someone whispered.
"Well, I'm afraid that's exactly what happened... Junior Brother Shen refused to marry and made her lose face. Isn't this a kind of revenge?"
"Then I, Xuanling Cave Heaven, just watch helplessly?"
"Otherwise? This is a marriage appointed by Dao Kui himself. It was originally our fault. In the previous five gambling battles, Senior Brother Han Bo's lineage did not participate. This time should be no exception."
…
Everyone outside the formation was talking a lot, but Dongfang Guo had already cast a spell, and no sound could be heard within the sword formation.
In the formation, Shen Biyou frowned, pondered for a moment, and finally sighed: "According to your current posture, you won't let me out even if I agree or not, right?"
Dongfang Guo raised the corners of his mouth slightly but said nothing.
"Okay, I accept your bet and fight agreement." Shen Biyou said slowly.
