575 Letter of challenge (2)
Of course, li Miaozhen knew that she had been locked on, but it wasn’t a big problem. She didn’t have any intention of breaking into the Imperial City.
Staring at the distant Lingbao temple, he gathered his Qi in his dantian and said in a clear voice, “”I’m Li Miaozhen, a disciple of the heaven sect. I’m here on orders from my master to have a sparring session with the disciples of the human sect.
“The time and address will be decided by the human sect.”
His voice was very penetrating. It was not deafening, but it traveled very far. It could be heard clearly both inside and outside the Imperial City.
All the high-ranking officials, members of the imperial family, and officials of the Yamen who lived in the Imperial City heard li Miaozhen’s “letter of challenge” at this moment.
Outside the Imperial City, the residents of the inner city near the Red City walls were also startled by the sound. The pedestrians stopped, the stall owners stopped shouting, and they all turned their heads to look in the direction of the Imperial City.
Lin an Prefecture.
Lin ‘an, who was wearing a red layered Palace dress and playing embroidered balls with the palace maids, suddenly stopped and listened. He asked,
“Did you guys hear something?”
Several Palace maids tilted their heads and quietly looked in the direction of the Imperial City.
“. heard it, it seems to be li Miaozhen.. disciple of the heavenly sect …” The palace maid whose butt had been slapped by Xu Qi ‘an responded.
As soon as he finished speaking, a cold and pleasant voice came from the opposite direction. “Three days later, at 7:35 am, by the Wei River in the suburbs of the capital, the in-name disciple of the human sect, Chu Yuanqi, will fight.”
The mounted man’s mouth was slightly agape as the interesting stories that Xu Qi ‘an had told her surfaced in his mind. One of them was-the struggle between heaven and man!
“Three days later, I want to see it. I want you to take me there.” Yuan Miao’s heart was burning, he couldn’t wait to get the guards to summon his dog slave.
King Huai’s mansion.
In the back garden filled with fresh flowers, a woman in a Lotus-colored dress stood among the flowers. She looked in the direction of the city gate and said in a low voice, “”Three days later, at 7:35 am, by the Wei River in the suburbs of the capital …”
Her eyes curved and she said happily, “”There’s going to be a good show.”
There was no wind, but the flowers in the courtyard swayed gently, as if responding to her.
…………
Li Miaozhen came to the capital. Three days later, she would duel with Chu Yuanyou, a disciple of the human sect.
This news spread like wildfire. In just half a day, it had almost spread throughout the entire capital.
The people of Jianghu who had heard the news and entered the capital city were the first to be excited. They had waited for a whole month for the battle between heaven and man.
They were waiting for the battle between the most outstanding disciples of the human sect and the heaven sect.
Although many people were facing the embarrassment of running out of money, no one complained. They even felt that coming to the capital in advance was the right decision and a fortunate one.
This was because they had witnessed a battle of magical powers that was rarely seen in a hundred years before the battle between heaven and man.
This point could be fully proven from the remorseful attitude of the Jianghu swordsmen who had missed the battle because they had come late.
Even if there was no subsequent dispute between heaven and man, for most of the people in Jianghu, this trip was not in vain.
In a certain restaurant, the rapists Rongrong and the beautiful woman, as well as young master Liu and his master, found an empty seat by the window. They were having lunch while talking about the struggle between heaven and man.
The two main characters naturally became the focus of attention.
Rongrong poured wine for the beautiful woman but turned to look at the middle-aged swordsman and said crisply, “”I’ve heard from the seniors that this Chu Yuanxi seems to be the top scholar of yuanjing in the 27th year?”
Hearing this, the middle-aged swordsman sighed. yes, when I was traveling in the capital, it happened to be the year of the apricot roll. I saw him become the Huiyuan and then the top scholar …
“I didn’t expect that he would resign from his post and become an in-name disciple of the human sect. Even today, he’s representing the human sect in battle.”
“Master, I heard that li Miaozhen is a beautiful fairy. What rank do you think she is in Taoism?”
When young master Liu said this, his attention was completely focused on the words ‘outstanding beauty’.
The middle-aged swordsman shook his head in response to his disciple’s question. the Holy Virgin of the heavenly sect rarely walks around in the martial world. She’s not well-known. I don’t know what rank she is.
however, there’s another rumor in the pugilistic world that the flying Sparrow swordswoman who appeared two years ago is the Holy Virgin of the heavenly sect.
“The flying Swallow swordswoman is the Holy Virgin of the heavenly sect?” Rongrong was shocked.
She had heard of the famous flying Sparrow swordswoman. This woman robbed the rich to help the poor and was chivalrous. She was either doing good or on the way to do good.
His deeds were praised and passed down by the wandering martial artists.
However, a year ago, she suddenly disappeared from the martial world, and no one knew where she went.
The middle-aged swordsman laughed. they’re all rumors of Jianghu. I don’t know if they’re true or not. However, the flying Sparrow swordswoman disappeared a year ago, and no one knows where she went.”
At this time, a Jianghu man in a blue robe at the next table interrupted and sneered, “”You’re so ignorant. The flying Sparrow swordswoman disappeared for a year because she went to Yunzhou to suppress bandits.”
Go to Yunzhou to suppress the bandits?
Before the middle-aged swordsman could ask anything, the surrounding Jianghu people all looked over.
“How did you know that the flying Sparrow swordswoman went to Yunzhou to suppress the bandits?”
“Not only do I know that the flying Sparrow went to Yunzhou, but I also know that she is li Miaozhen, the saintess of the heavenly sect.” The blue-robed martial artist took a sip of wine and said,
“I have a brother from Qingzhou. He suddenly returned to his hometown at the beginning of the year and said that he was in Yunzhou this year. He followed the swordswoman in the swallow to eliminate bandits everywhere, and his cultivation improved greatly. He was also the one who told me that the flying Sparrow is the saintess of the heavenly sect. ”
The middle-aged swordsman’s eyes flickered. He was full of doubts about the blue-robed man’s words and asked, “”Since you are in Yunzhou, why are you suddenly returning home?”
The blue-robed pugilist sneered, ” the operation to exterminate the bandits has ended. At the end of last year, the Imperial court sent two golden gongs and a group of silver gongs to Yunzhou to uproot the mountain bandits there.
Xu yinluo from the Yamen, the night watchman, was among them. I heard that he almost died? ”
