At the point where the Minjiang, Qingyi River, and Dadu River meet, because the water flow is turbulent and boats often hit rocks and sink here, the local villagers spent a lot of money to carve a high stone Buddha into the cliffs a hundred years ago.
It is as high as the mountain, suppressing the confluence of the three rivers, since then the waves have not risen and the water flow has gradually slowed down.
On the surface of the Bibo River, a bamboo raft is slowly moving forward, Li Xiu is standing at the front with his hands behind his back, looking at the strange and magnificent stone Buddha on the river bank, his eyes are deep as if he is thinking of something.
One of the main reasons he came to this world is for the Qilin blood, but today it seems that he may not be able to get it, because he has something else to do first.
Nie Feng and Qin Shuang are standing on either side of the Nipusa, not only to protect him but also to prevent him from running away halfway.
Nie Feng looked up at the mysterious figure in front of the bamboo raft, his eyes were complicated and wary.
According to this person, he would be going to the main altar of the Tianxia Hui ( Under Heaven Society ) with them to challenge his master, the leader.
Ever since the Tianxia Hui secured its position as the top gang in the world ten years ago, his master, the leader, has become a target for people trying to make a name for themselves in the martial arts world by challenging him. Countless people have attempted to challenge the leader, but very few have been able to last more than a dozen moves against him, let alone defeat him.
As more and more experts have been defeated by the leader, his reputation and power have grown, and in recent years, no one dared to provoke him. But now, a mysterious expert has suddenly appeared and is once again challenging the leader. This has made Nie Feng feel uneasy for some reason.
This person is young in appearance, but his martial arts skills are incredibly deep and hard to predict. Nie Feng believes that there are only about a dozen people in the martial arts world who can defeat him, but he can't even figure out this person's true abilities. He's not sure if the leader's ten-year unbeaten legend will continue or if it will end in this person's hands and the leader's reputation will be destroyed.
The bamboo raft docked, and Qin Shuang found a kind-hearted family in a nearby village who agreed to adopt the little girl with the ponytail. He entrusted the girl to them. This was the condition that the Nipusa had agreed to before going to the Tianxia Hui with them.
Just as Qin Shuang and the other two were about to leave the raft, a black-clad, masked expert suddenly appeared, coming from the river in the distance. Before he even got close, a powerful aura burst out! This made Qin Shuang and the other two glance at each other, their hearts tightening.
The visitor was not friendly and didn't beat around the bush. Qin Shuang and Nie Feng both leaped several meters into the air, each using their own skills, the Wind God Leg and the Sky Frost Fist, to attack the black-clad person. Their fists and feet were filled with powerful internal energy and their attacks were fierce and hard to block.
But in the hands of the black-clad person, they were easily defeated and sent flying several meters away. At that moment, their blood and energy were stagnant, and their internal energy was blocked, they had no strength left to fight again.
The black-clad person came and left quickly, his goal was clear. He grabbed the Nipusa and turned to leave on the water. In a few moments, he was already a hundred meters away, his figure gradually fading.
Li Xiu stood quietly on the side, not intending to intervene. He knew that the black-clad person was the leader. This was only not wanting to let others know about the Nipusa's criticisms of him for the rest of his life.
The Nipusa' would reveal his criticisms of the leader for the rest of his life, which is the Nine Sky Dragon's Song, which will change the world, the Hidden Diver in the Wind and Cloud, will also be affected by the wind and cloud. It would provoke the leader's strong killing intent towards Wind and Cloud, which is beneficial to Li Xiu's plans later on, so he naturally wouldn't interfere and cause trouble for himself.
Nie Feng and Qin Shuang stood up, their faces showing shock and some confusion.
"Who is this person? His martial arts skills are so extraordinary, it's as if he knows everything about our moves and easily defeated us without injuring us."
Nie Feng nodded in agreement to what Qin Shuang said. He closed the fan in his hand and his expression became serious.
"Brother, now that the Nipusa has been taken away from us, it might be difficult to explain when we go back."
"Not necessarily, the leader will definitely not punish you, he'll just brush it off."
Li Xiu walked closer and shook his head, saying.
Qin Shuang, who is quick-witted, after hearing this, turned his head and looked in the direction the black-clad person had gone with a hint of doubt in his eyes. Nie Feng, who is naturally innocent, thought that Li Xiu didn't know his master's temper and didn't say anything else.
The Tianshan Mountains, towering into the clouds, are the highest peak in the nearby mountain ranges. The powerful gang of the martial arts world, the "Tianxia Hui," is located here. The main altar of the Tianxia Hui is located on the summit of the Tianshan Mountains, built against the mountain and is magnificent and awe-inspiring.
Since the two leaders of the Tianxia Hui brought Li Xiu up the mountain, no one dared to block or question them as they walked to the front of the main hall.
The stone hall is grand and wide, with dozens of large columns in two rows. The columns are engraved with fierce beasts, all with sharp claws and sharp teeth facing the entrance of the hall, alive and terrifying!
If an ordinary person saw this scene and walked into the hall, they would lose their spirit, and if they saw the powerful and dominant leader sitting on the main seat, they would likely kneel and submit on the spot.
However, Li Xiu was indifferent and did not pay attention to it, even if the hall was filled with beasts, it could not defeat him. It is a foolish trick that could not even get on stage.
After a while, a middle-aged man with a powerful appearance and a majestic face walked out, sitting on a big chair.
Immediately, a fierce and domineering aura rushed over, capturing people's hearts.
A young man dressed in elegant white clothes, with a feminine posture and a face covered in white powder, stood beside the leader with a small fan, with a flattering smile on his face.
On the other side of the hall, a man wearing a cloak and a cold-stone-like face walked out, standing silently beside him.
Li Xiu silently glanced at the cold man and knew that he should be the one he had come for, Bu Jingyun.
Li Xiu's goal is to use Bu Jingyun, who has been harboring deep hatred and anger against the leader for ten years, and whose mood is unpredictable, to achieve his own purposes.
Li Xiu wants to control Bu Jingyun to control the Tianxia Hui, as an aid in his later plans to kill the dragon. He could easily kill Xiongba to overthrow the Tianxia Hui, but it would be difficult to control it. It's like when there is a rebellion in every country, the imperial family members are more likely to seize the throne, and the outsiders will have a harder time, and it might even cause the country to split and become a situation where warlords are fighting for power.
The power of the Tianxia Hui spreads throughout half of Central Plains, and it can be considered a small country. And Bu Jingyun is the puppet emperor that Li Xiu has chosen. Of course, words are not enough, at least Bu Jingyun needs to see that Li Xiu has the ability to help him.
At this time, Nie Feng has finished talking about how they found the Nipusa but were taken away by others, and Xiongba also passed by without any punishment. Then Nie Feng brought up Li Xiu.
"Boy, you're the one who wants to challenge me, Xiongba!"
The Leader of Tianxia Hui, Xiongba, laughed loudly, obviously not taking Li Xiu seriously. He had always believed that only the Sword Saint was his match in the martial arts world, and all the other martial arts experts were just insignificant figures. Furthermore, Li Xiu was just a young and unknown boy.
