LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 323.1
Regardless of whether they were envious or jealous, at this time, all the forces were in need of revitalization and really had no intention of meddling in Great Xia’s affairs.
They were just hoping that Great Xia would be dragged down by its own territory and people.
However, they were destined to be disappointed. When this vast territory fell into Lin Beifan’s hands, he immediately transformed it into land even more suitable for the people’s survival and development.
At this moment, Mo Yuyan came to bid farewell to Lin Beifan.
“Your Majesty, a while ago, in order to avenge my brother’s family, I attempted to assassinate the Great Luo Emperor and was almost killed by the old Taoist Yuxu! Now that the demon is eliminated and my strength is sufficient, I wish to settle the score with him!”
A fierce hatred blazed in Mo Yuyan’s beautiful eyes.
Lin Beifan nodded: “I understand! However, if you go after the old Taoist Yuxu, you will inevitably face the Great Grandmaster of the Taoist Sect, and they will not let you have your way!”
“Even if they are powerful, they cannot stop my heart set on revenge!” Mo Yuyan clenched her divine sword tightly.
“Let’s do this: I’ll have Sword Elder accompany you on your journey!”
Lin Beifan said with a smile, “Sword Elder represents the stance of our Great Xia. With him by your side, that Great Grandmaster will have reservations and won’t dare to intervene too much.”Mo Yuyan was taken aback, then accepted the goodwill: “Thank you, Your Majesty!”
Thus, Sword Elder and Mo Yuyan set out together to find the reclusive Taoist Master Yuxu.
……
Five days later, they arrived at the Taoist Sect headquarters, which was still under reconstruction.
Before they even reached the mountain summit, Mo Yuyan shouted loudly, “Yuxu, come out!”
Her voice carried for dozens of li, startling all the Taoists on the mountain.
“Who is so arrogant to cause trouble here?”
“This voice is full of vigor and can be heard for dozens of li! This person must at least possess the strength of the peak Imperial Qi!”
“To directly provoke Uncle Master Yuxu, that takes some nerve!”
“Our Uncle Master Yuxu is a Grandmaster, unmatched under the heavens!”
“Let’s go out and see!”
The Taoists hurried out of the mountain gate.
Among them was an elder dressed in a purple Taoist robe with an air of immortality about him.
He looked down at the figure approaching step by step with a complex expression: “You’ve come!”
This person was Yuxu Taoist Master.
Ever since Mo Yuyan had broken through to the Grandmaster level, he had sensed that this day would come, but he hadn’t expected it to be so soon, and for her to be so bold as to come directly to the Taoist Sect headquarters.
It was well known that their Taoist Sect’s Great Grandmaster resided here.
By now, Mo Yuyan had reached the front of the Taoist Sect and stood firm, looking at the familiar old Taoist with a surge of hatred: “Yuxu, I’ve come! Back then, not only did you stop me from avenging my grievances, but you almost killed me with a single palm strike. I’ve always remembered that! Now, I too have cultivated to the realm of Grandmaster, and it’s time to settle this grudge!”
“As the saying goes, you reap what you sow. It’s only right and proper for you to seek revenge. I have nothing to say about that! However…”
Yuxu Taoist Master looked at Sword Elder next to Mo Yuyan, puzzled: “Fellow Daoist Sword Elder, what brings you here?”
Sword Elder opened his slightly squinted eyes and said with a smile, “Greetings to all friends of the Taoist Sect! I have no other purpose in coming here, just to escort and protect Mo Yuyan.”
“Mo Yuyan is now a Grandmaster of our Great Xia, and our emperor is very concerned about her safety! She has come here to settle a personal vendetta and to resolve the regrets in her heart! However, her opponent is too powerful, and we fear for her safety, so I have been specially sent to watch over her! This is a private matter between her and Yuxu, so please do not gang up on her or bully the weak!”
“What a joke!” said a young Taoist, displeased.
“Our Taoist Sect, as a righteous sect, would never engage in such acts of bullying or overpowering the weak. You are simply judging others by your own low standards!”
Sword Elder replied with a faint smile, “That’s hard to say! If by any chance a Grandmaster from the Taoist Sect were to die accidentally, I don’t believe your masters would remain seated!”
The faces of the Taoist Sect members changed: “You…”
“Everyone, please calm down!”
Yuxu Taoist Master waved his hand and said calmly, “This matter is a personal grievance between me and Lady Mo, and it has nothing to do with the Taoist Sect or Great Xia! Therefore, whether I live or die, do not interfere when the fight starts! And if I happen to die by accident, please do not blame Great Xia!”
“Yes, Uncle Master Yuxu!” the crowd responded.
“Fellow Daoist, you are indeed reasonable!”
Sword Elder said with a smile, “We from Great Xia also make it clear, whether Mo Yuyan wins or loses, lives or dies, this matter will have nothing to do with the Taoist Sect!”
“That would be for the best!” Yuxu Taoist Master secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Nowadays, both the Great Xia and the Taoist Sect are among the transcendent powers of the world.
If these two great forces were to clash, the Taoist Sect would suffer heavy losses regardless of the outcome.
After the recent calamity of demons, the Taoist Sect could not afford any more losses.
Once the agreement was made, bystanders retreated, leaving only the two of them.
