Daoist Master of Qing Xuan

Shen Lian had developed the Mastery of Senses, his spirit was so strong that it could almost leave the physical body.

It was said that once the spirit was able to leave the physical body, all sorts of supernatural powers could be cultivated. From the beginning of time, those who went down in history with a glowing reputation or those who disrupted the peace had this ability.

The spirit of the living, also known as the living spirit, were bound by flesh.

Even though the living spirit could exist peacefully with the protection of physical flesh, it was also why it lacked the changes in the different kinds of supernatural power.

Shen Lian had never tried having his spirit leave his body, but he also knew that his own power of the spirit was way stronger than that of an average person. Nonetheless, besides having a profound psyche, photographic memory and being able to control the body in the condensed stage, there were barely any other uses.

Although there were benefits to it, which was not bad and he was able to train his body at the same time to prevent internal injuries being really able to protect his own life was still a farfetched thing.

Even if he could face down his enemies with the flying dagger getting his targets without missing every time, if there were ten enemies that approached him, he could not have defeated all of them in one go.

Even more, his intention to kill was very weak, to take someone else’s life with the flying dagger that left his hand was really something that he did not wish for at all.

If he had the spirit of attack of the man in the green, Shen Lian would be able to unleash the biggest advantage he had, it also meant that he had another method of self-protection.

The power of the spirit used by the man in green just then. To Shen Lian, it did not mean anything to him, while there was no practical comparison done, plus Shen Lian would not simply belittle himself, he estimated that the spirit of the man in green would not be as strong as his spirit.

Or else, based on how formidable the man in green was, he could definitely pull off an aerial projection and he would not risk lacking in vitality. At the same time, he could make a lot of imposing changes that were almost similar to the techniques of the Celestial School and not of those belonging to mortals.

Even though the man in green showed a solid performance, the Golden Blade King still had not lost all hope yet.

The so-called Deity Vanquishing Sword that was unleashed previously by him was not as easy as he portrayed it to be.

Shen Lian could clearly feel his spirit had weakened slightly.

Suddenly, the thundering of hooves poured in from all directions.

The man in green’s face became rigid, he pushed his palm towards the leader of the Green Bamboo Sect and said, “I have rather underestimated you.”

What he naturally meant was that he did not expect the leader of the Green Bamboo Sect would be able to command the elite soldier of the Qing state.

He did not fear if it was a crowd of ordinary people but even though the number of the approaching soldiers were unknown, and that he had practiced the Deity Vanquishing Sword and his spirit had sharpened more, he felt the Qi energy from the outside was not something to be undermined even though it had not reached the point of rumbling smoke.

Under this circumstance, it was extremely difficult for him to use his trump card, the Deity Vanquishing Sword.

This was because the spirit would grow stronger with Qi energy, but at the same time, it was also restrained by it too. This was the mystery of Yin and Yang, the principle of the relation between creation and destruction.

If there were hundreds and thousands of the elite soldiers, the Qi energy would come together in a forceful impetus and burn like raging fire.

And if the man in green’s spirit left his body, it would be like adding oil to that fire which would not be useful at all, it would also damage his spirit for no good reason.

The leader of the Green Bamboo Sect spared no effort when it came to evading the man in green’s vigorous palm strikes, he used the Lazy Donkey Roll maneuver to finally escape this peril.

The man in green’s original intention was for him to give way and he really could not be tangled with him, or else he could not make his escape when the soldiers have him surrounded.

The Golden Blade King bellowed out in laughter: “Do not think you can leave here today.”

He was an expert in the ways of the martial arts, he knew that the man in green’s heart was not in the battle anymore but he could not just let him leave, or else once he was out of the Qing capital and had made his way into the deep forests and mountains, where could he go and find this person again under the vast sky?

All of a sudden there was a heavy dishing of the gleam of the knife, like catkins being blown by the wind and scattering playfully all over the sky. It seemed as though it was going to descend on both the man in green and the young beggar.

The man in green secretly hated himself for caring too much, why did he make an unnecessary move to test the mind of this young boy.

Even though he seemed relatively young, he was in actual fact past his fifties, if he knew that from now on that there was no turning back, even if he had gotten that item from the Green Bamboo Sect, he might not be able to obtain the Destiny of the Immortals and went on the path of longevity, but at least he had gotten a successor.

The young beggar had good qualifications and even had some resemblance to his younger self, which gave him the idea to pass on the mantle.

It was just that he had his doubts about the boy’s heart, so he bought him as his servant, gave him the chance to take care of his father’s funeral and see whether he would come back or not.

Even though the man in green was not a righteous man himself, he followed the practice of the ranger where ‘words must have credibility, actions must be courageous and absolute, promises must be kept and fulfilled’. Had the young beggar not returned today, he would find and kill him and then moving on to other places.

His encounter with Shen Lian then was also an accident, to be honest. His calmness and expression reminded him of his senior fellow apprentice, Ling Chongxiao. If he practiced the martial arts, he would have a bright future ahead of him.

Even if he detested the fact that Ling Chongxiao was always a step ahead of him, he truly must admit that Ling Chongxiao was better than him. Assuming that he was not determined to recruit this young beggar as his apprentice, he would have Shen Lian as his successor.

The man in green’s thoughts took an unexpected turn, his body responded immediately, the body that was going forward originally began spinning like a top and as it scoped up dust, out of the thin air, the tip of his foot was pointed on top of the point of the knife.

The tricky and vehement force traveled through the body of the knife, the area between the Golden Blade King’s thumb and index finger became numb.

He did not put all of his strength into this move because he only wanted to make the man in green to stay.

He did not expect that his martial art skills to be this tremendous, being able to see through his intentions, shattering the illusion, achieving victory in the midst of danger and beat his knife technique.

With a point of the tip of his foot, the man in green was already on the roof. He brought the young beggar along and leaped through the wide and endless sky.

Unexpectedly, there were many archers that appeared from all directions of the roof and thousands of arrows were released at the same time.

The man in green humped coolly, made a barrier from his inner Qi to protect his entire body and causing the arrows to brush past him.

He, however, did not have a choice but to get down from the roof and charged to the roof of the house on the opposite side of the street. This forced him into the surrounding trap of the soldiers.

The Golden Blade King did not dare to rush in, firstly he did not know the soldiers. Secondly, he came from a big well-made family, if he went in and the soldiers treated him as an enemy, does he make a move or not?

There was nothing good that comes with rebelling and killing officials, he did not want his name in ruins or end up like the man in green who wandered around by himself.

The man in green’s matters aside, a group of men on horses hurriedly rushed into Yue Ke Lai, the one in the lead was Shen Qingsan.

He immediately spotted Shen Lian and quickly went up and said: “What’s a kid like you doing here, do you know how dangerous it is?”

The Shen family had many informants when Shen Qingsan found out that Shen Lian was staying in the same inn as the man in the green robe, he was surprised and mad at that moment.

Even though he had assigned bodyguards to protect Shen Lian from the shadows, he did not think that Shen Lian would have come here.

When he made this discovery, it was too late to stop it.

It was not until the man in green exited Yue Ke Lai and was heavily encircled by the soldiers that he led his men and risked the danger to enter and protect Shen Lian.

Shen Lian thought, “This second uncle of mine is somehow sincere with his treatment of me.”

At the same time, Shen Lian asked, “What are you doing here, second uncle?”

Shen Qingsan also did not want to keep Shen Lian in the dark and answered, “That man in the green is the murderer who killed your two cousin brothers, the Shen family definitely wouldn’t let him off the hook.”

During this moment the leader of the Green Bamboo Sect came up and chuckled: “Second Master Shen, who is this by your side?”

Shen Qingsan replied, “This is my nephew Shen Lian.”

He then turned towards Shen Lian, “This person in front is the Leader An of the Green Bamboo Sect.”

The Green Bamboo Sect and the Shen family, one black one white, the one with the immense wealth and power was still the Shen family. Leader An examined Shen Lian. “This was the rumored bastard of the Shen family.”

His looks were rather delicate and graceful. Shen Lian’s reaction of not panicking like how any other ordinary young person would during something this serious made him think of Shen Lian highly.
