The three walked on casually.

As they approached the side of the canal, the intersection point of three streams forming huge currents, there it was, the majestic Stone Buddha with its back against the mountain wall, seated with its legs crossed. As the sunlight shot through the clouds, some purple mists were visible, making the Buddha statue looks like as if it had come alive.

Shen Lian’s view was locked on the Stone Buddha. Beneath it was the never-ending flowing current, forming a great contrast against the peacefulness of the Stone Buddha.

“This Stone Buddha endured the beating of wind and the rains, yet remain undestroyed. Has no one taken it away to research on it?” Shen Lian asked.

“There was someone who tried to take away the materials of this Stone Buddha, but before he could do that, he got struck by lightning. That was a real Heaven trial, brutal enough to make a person to never recover from it. Tianxiang Order may be occupying this place, but they could never decode the mysteries of this statue. Moreover, many cultivators came along for many years, yet no one has gotten anything from this it. There was a senior monk who meditated here for hundred years, but he got nothing and eventually died with regrets,” Zhao Xiaoyu explained.

Shen Lian was already not surprised with her knowledge of so many stories, but this piece of land had so many gods and Buddha, he would never imagine how many more of such stories like this were around.

He did think before if he had taken off this burden from Qing Xuan, he could follow the steps of the senior from cultivation school, travel to all the famous mountains and canals, wander everywhere and explore to the ends of the world. That must be fun.

As little Ruoxi saw the fish wiggling its tail in the flowing waters, she was fascinated and played along the river bank.

She had not caught a fish before. As she put her hand into it, she would miss by a bit. Then, she realized that the figures that she saw in her eyes were deflected from its real position by a little, so she started to use her senses to feel the fish’s position in the water and managed to slowly capture them, nine success out of ten tries. She had fun capturing and releasing them repeatedly.

Zhao Xiaoyu sighed, “Maybe your niece should be my disciple. What do you think?” In her eyes, it was rare to encounter a talented genius. As she was able to figure out the refraction of the water that caused the image of the fish to slightly deviate from its real position, she had to be quite spiritually conscious.

Shen Lian thought, “I don’t think you can teach her well.”

Then he replied, “She is sick. I need to treat her. Everything else should be discussed after that.”

Zhao Xiaoyu laughed, “Why can’t I figure that out? That’s fine if you don’t want me to teach her.”

Shen Lian saw that Ruoxi had wandered too far and shouted, “Ruoxi come back!”

“I never thought that you care for her this much. With you and I around, she will be fine.” Zhao Xiaoyu folded her hands and stood up as she smiled. She just thought to herself, what a bunch of useless junks the Tianxiang Order members were, there was still no one sent to them.

Suddenly, Shen Lian’s eyebrows tightened.

Zhao Xiaoyu felt a chilling murderous intent in her heart. It was from the clouds in the sky.

Three flying arrows flashed through with shining tips like the shooting star were seen piercing towards Shen Lian, Zhao Xiaoyu, and Ruoxi.

Shen Lian felt really furious as he never expected such ruthless act.

Zhao Xiaoyu was angrier than Shen Lian. She waved her long sleeves, and as this one arrow approached her, it burst into endless emissions of golden rays which flashed through the air and tore Zhao Xiaoyu’s sleeves.

On the other hand, Shen Lian took out his long sword. He flashed through as if there were two figures swinging its sword in the air. The sword tip vibrated and point through the thin air, almost crumbling the layers of the air.

His One Sword to Break the Void techniques had almost got the essence of the Grandmaster, Fairy Ziling. The other two arrows immediate got sucked into the layers and broke into multiple butterfly-shaped pieces.

In a blink of an eye, Zhao Xiaoyu also caught the arrow in her hand, as she took out a piece of jade hairpin and threw it into the sky. Almost immediately, a rain of blood emerged from the void, falling into the river. Their assassins turned into blood rain before they could show their real faces.

Ruoxi was already under Shen Lian’s arms, and he slowly put her down.

She had no fear as she trusted her uncle.

Zhao Xiaoyu examined the arrow in her hand, and said, “This is a Cloud Piercing Arrow. Seems like it’s addressed to me.”

Shen Lian said, “Looks like Tianxiang Order is not only one you offended.”

The material of this Cloud Piercing Arrow was meteorite metal. The Dao scripture engraved on it must be the words of a master-level alchemist. With an arrow with the same value of a great quality instrument, that must be a big investment.

If it was not for Shen Lian who deflected the attack together, Zhao Xiaoyu might have been injured.

“I wouldn’t consider that as offending. Recently, there had been hidden force that is taking over branched sects of the Luo Sect. Although all that they had taken over were just minor branches which were not as significant as me, but it had grown its strength, it may now have the appetite to devour my whole Nine Lotus Order.” Even so, Zhao Xiaoyu described this in a casual tone, as she had witnessed so many hard challenges in life.

She always thought that this hidden force had the same intention as hers, which was to merge the whole Luo Sect, and grab the position of the Daluo Saintess, or else she would not have asked Shen Lian for help.

She had her own plan. When she becomes the new Daluo Saintess, she could then implement her next step, to become Yifang Headmaster, and not fear of any Guangqing, or the four main Sects of Dao, and gain the power to conquer the world.

This land would undergo a major restructuring. A lone ranger might not have a chance to live peacefully in the future changes.

A moment later, a small little raft rowed out from the back of the Stone Buddha. It rowed to the side of the three. The rower on it shouted, “The three of you should be the honorable guests visiting our Tianxiang Order, right?”

“I am not here to visit, I am here to pick a fight.” The voice of Zhao Xiaoyu was hollow but filled with so much energy that it covered the rower.

He got struck by the soundwave, and even though he had his eyes, nose, ears, and mouth bleeding, he still stood there without a moan of pain.

Zhao Xiaoyu retracted her technique and said, “Since when did Tianxiang Order come out with a decent man like you? Not bad, not bad.”

The rower replied, “I dare not receive your compliments, dear Fairy. You all are still not coming up my boat, is it because my boat is too small?”

He might not be as good as Zhao Xiaoyu, but he had a solid structure.

Based on Zhao Xiaoyu’s characteristics, she would kill no matter how hard and solid one was. But if one flatters her, she would not do anything to the person.

Shen Lian voiced out, “Let’s get on the boat.”

He felt the murderous aura of Zhao Xiaoyu, yet he would not want this rower to die here, that was why he spoke up.

Zhao Xiaoyu looked at Shen Lian, as if he knew what she was planning to do.

Tianxiang Order was built in the mountain at the back of the Stone Buddha, very well concealed. One still needed to show their badge even though there were frequent flows of members at the entrance.

The main altar of Tianxiang Order was at the peak. There stood the new chief leader of Tianxiang Order, dressed in red robe, with her followers all gathered behind her respectfully.

As the red robe leader looked on, she saw the trio of Shen Lian being led in by her subordinate branch leader.

Her eyes rippled, and when her eyes met with Shen Lian’s, both of them were slightly stunned. What a place to bump into each other.

Shen Lian thought, “That is her.”

Zhao Xiaoyu looked towards the red robe leader as well. Her robe was as red as the burning flames, her looks comparable to the flower, added with some charm.
