Chapter 355: Spreading the Dharma

Chapter 355 - Spreading the Dharma

"Hyah!"

Everyone galloped on the streets.

It was already late at night, but there were already patrolling soldiers holding torches to light up the road.

It looked like something urgent had happened.

Li Ganyang suddenly shouted, "Who's there?"

Dozens of horses rushed out from an alley, the leading old man said, "Sect Master Qian Sunhai is here, Li Ganyang, do you know why His Majesty has summoned us?"

"So it's Sect Master Guo, I don't know either, why don't we go and meet His Majesty together?"

"Let's go!"

Two groups of people rode side by side.

Guo Chong, the fatty who provoked Liu Ping at the Blessing Mansion, glanced at the crowd and saw Liu Ping.

Liu Ping also saw him, he smiled and cupped his fist, "Brother Guo."

The fatty seemed to have thought of something, his face turned pale, he scoffed, "It's just a small restaurant, I can still afford it."

Liu Ping said, "That's good, sparring is sparring, I hope Brother Guo won't take it to heart."

The fatty said unwillingly, "Hmph, I can't be bothered to argue with you, when can we spar again?"

"Are you sure?" Liu Ping was surprised.

"Of course, I've already memorized our sect's Divine Art, this time I'll definitely defeat you!" The fatty clenched his fist and said.

In front of the group.

Sect Master Li Ganyang's eyelids twitched, he turned back and smiled at Sect Master Qian Sunhai, "My beloved disciple is talented and smart, he actually mastered your sect's Hundred and Two Styles of the Hurricane at such a young age."

Qian Sunhai, the Sect Master of the Wild Blade Sect, laughed and said, "He won all the matches a few days ago, but he accidentally burned down the Blessings Building yesterday and let his opponent escape. When he came back, he kept pestering me to teach him the remaining moves. I thought that since the world is going through a great change, I might as well teach him as soon as possible."

Let his opponent escape?

Li Ganyang nodded with a fake smile, he didn't say anything else.

— — He clearly lost in terms of movement, this boorish fellow actually has the face to say that Liu Ping escaped in front of me?

But then again, many lost techniques in the past, mostly because of the war in the world, many masters died in battle and didn't have time to teach their techniques to their disciples.

If that's the case ...

Li Ganyang turned back and glanced at Liu Ping.

Liu Ping only knew two saber techniques. One of them was specialized in dodging, and only the other one could be used to fight.

If they were to encounter an enemy, that would be a problem.

While he was deep in thought, the group arrived at the palace.

There were already a large number of soldiers standing guard here. They only opened up a small path for the various sect leaders to enter the palace.

Liu Ping, Guo Chong, and the other disciples, as well as the elders of the various sects, remained in the square.

A short while later.

The eldest disciple of the Demon Mountain Sect, Zhang Pinghe, saw Liu Ping and came over to greet him. "You're only 15 years old. Why are you here?"

"I am the Sect Leader's disciple. If Master wants me to follow, I have to follow," Liu Ping said.

Over the past few days, the two of them had become familiar with each other. Zhang Pinghe lowered his voice and said,

"You must follow your master later. Don't wander off."

"What do you know?" Liu Ping asked quietly.

"My uncle is from the Astrology Bureau. He said that the heavens and earth are changing. Tonight, the entire capital must enter the highest state of defense. He told me to be careful." Zhang Pinghe said.

A change in heaven and earth?

This had something to do with the Sequence reminder he had received.

But I don't know what those evil creatures are planning to do.

— — -with their strength, they hold an extremely high position in the Occultism world. Even Shui Shu appeared cautious when talking about them.

Why don't they just destroy this world?

What are they afraid of?

Liu Ping casually chatted with Zhang Pinghe. The fatty Guo Chong came over, wanting to spar with Zhang Pinghe, but was rejected by Zhang Pinghe.

"You fatty, why don't you take a look at where you are? What time is it, you still want to spar?

Be careful, the guards might catch you and throw you out of the palace "Zhang Pinghe scolded him.

Guo Chong looked around. Sure enough, the guards were all staring at him with glowing eyes.

Zhang Pinghe was right.

— — to spar at a time like this?

If he wasn't careful, he would be caught as someone with ulterior motives.

"Let's set a time, we can spar later. I've already won against the majority of them, only the few of you haven't" Guo Chong grumbled.

"After tonight's business is over, I'll take you on anytime" Zhang Pinghe replied.

"Okay, that's what you said." Guo Chong left after saying that.

Liu Ping looked at Guo Chong's back and asked in surprise: "Why is he going around provoking people?"

Zhang Pinghe lowered his voice: "He wants to be the strongest of the younger generation back then — — - Wild Blade sect's inheritance is complete, unlike our sects, which more or less have lost a few things"

"What did your Demon Mountain sect lose?" Liu Ping asked.

"The final move of the [Thousand Shadow Fiend Kick] — — - legend has it that the Founder once kicked a fallen star back to the sky" Zhang Pinghe said full of anticipation.

"Show me the moves in front someday" Liu Ping said.

"No problem" Zhang Pinghe replied.

At the entrance of the palace, a commotion could be heard.

The sect masters of each sect came out of the palace one by one, returning to the square.

Wild Blade sect master Qian Sunhai got on his horse and loudly said: "Wild Blade sect disciples, follow me — — - we're going to guard the west side of the city!"

"Yes!" the elders and disciples all replied.

They all got on their horses and quickly left with Wild Blade sect master.

Following them were the other sects.

"Demon Mountain sect guards the north side of the city, follow me!" Demon Mountain sect master Zhao Zixiao said.

Zhao Pinghe patted Liu Ping's shoulder and reminded him: "Be careful"

Saying so, he ran to meet up with the other sects and quickly got on his horse.

"Blossom Sword sect ..."

"Tian Shan pavilion ..."

"Bei Sheng fist sect ..."

One by one, the people of each sect left the square.

But there were still quite a few sects that stayed.

Li Qianyang walked in front of everyone, his expression unprecedentedly serious.

"Shifu, where are we going to guard?" Liu Ping asked.

"Our Bai Ling sect is responsible for guarding the south side of the palace and the garden" Li Qianyang answered.

"We ... are going to guard the palace?" an elder couldn't help but ask.

"This means that His Majesty trusts us more — — - everyone, please be careful, follow me" Li Qianyang said.

"Yes!" Everyone replied in unison.

At this time, a few officials surrounded by royal guards appeared on the square, handing out identity badges to the sects that were about to enter the palace.

One of the officials loudly said:

"Remember, the badge must not leave your body, as soon as the light on the badge goes out, we'll treat you as a demon, punishable by death"

Badges with names and sects were handed out one by one.

Suddenly.

The ground trembled.

In the surrounding darkness, there seemed to be countless dark shadows moving, quickly disappearing into the void.

That official's expression changed, and he hurriedly urged: "Quick! Hurry up, you must guard the positions that you're in charge of! "

All the elders and disciples of the sects began to line up nervously and orderly to enter the palace.

The Myriad Spirits sect members followed behind Li Qianyang all the way to the south side of the palace.

Li Qianyang said loudly: "Tonight, there will be a change in the world, I'm afraid that a large number of evil beings will attack the city, so we'll guard here."

"Behind the south side is the bedroom, the left side is the garden, and the right side is the lake and pavilion. Left guardian elder, bring some people to guard the garden, right guardian elder, bring some people to guard the lake and pavilion — — go."

The two elders received the order and left with their people.

"Shifu, what about me?" Liu Ping asked.

Li Qianyang looked at Liu Ping and said: "You and I will guard the path to the bedroom."

Liu Ping looked around.

Under the deep palace walls, there was a long path, but there was no one in sight.

"Where are the royal guards? Why aren't there any royal guards? "Liu Ping asked curiously.

"A batch died yesterday" Li Qianyang said.

"The evil beings came to assassinate the Emperor again?" Liu Ping asked.

"No — — no one knows how they died." Li Qianyang looked at the deep path under the red wall and said calmly: "When the corpses were checked, we found that they were possessed by evil beings."

"His Majesty no longer trusts the royal guards, so he requested all the sects to guard tonight."

"His Majesty trusts all the sects?"

"It's almost impossible for parasitic evil beings to appear in all the sects that are fighting against evil beings, because the people in the sects are very experienced. The evil beings will be discovered soon after they stay in the sects and then killed." Li Qianyang said.

"Really?" Liu Ping asked.

"Those sects that can't do it have long disappeared in history" Li Qianyang said.

He felt around his waist, took out a sword manual, and passed it to Liu Ping.

"Liu Ping, you're talented and smart, you can learn everything quickly. There's still time now, so I'll teach you the Spirit Summoning Sword Technique. You must practice it well and not slack off."

"Yes, thank you, Shifu."

Liu Ping took the sword manual and immediately flipped through it.

Suddenly.

A faint fog appeared on the long path under the red wall, covering the palace at the end of the path.

A strange screeching sound could be heard from the fog.

— — this isn't a sound that humans can make.

Li Qianyang drew his Blade and said: "I'll go take a look at the situation, you wait here. If I don't return in 5 minutes, you'll meet up with the Left Guardian Elder"

"Yes" Liu Ping answered.

Li Qianyang walked into the fog with his Blade and slowly disappeared.

Liu Ping lowered his head and quickly flipped through the sword manual.

In just a few breaths' time, he finished reading the entire sword manual.

"So that's how it is, a total of 9 styles. The first 3 styles are two attacks and one defense, while the last 6 styles are a series of attacks. Now I've learned it all"

"What a novel sword style, I'm very inspired!"

He praised, then suddenly drew his Blade and swung it at the darkness behind him.
