Chapter 135 Flower Slave, Jiang Yuyan's Opportunity

Li Ming couldn't help but show an interested look.

The Yihua Palace is famous in the martial arts world and almost everyone knows it, but in fact, people from the Yihua Palace rarely move around in the martial arts world. They are usually elusive, so it is difficult to see them normally, which makes them quite mysterious.

The location of Yihua Palace is a forbidden area. No man has ever come out alive after entering it, so people in the martial arts world rarely set foot there and know nothing about what’s going on inside.

It is unexpected that in this prosperous and bustling city of Luoyang, someone from the Yihua Palace can be seen in the residence of the local tycoon Yuanba. This is a bit strange.

Thinking of this, Li Ming glanced at Jiang Yuyan who was following him, as if thinking about something.

Jiang Yuyan didn't have any other thoughts, she just followed Li Ming curiously.

The most nervous person was Lin Pingzhi. When he heard that someone seemed to be causing trouble at his grandfather's house, he immediately pushed the door open.

At first glance, Wang Yuanba's mansion is quite large. What comes into view is a very grand courtyard, spacious and bright. In the courtyard are weapon racks and things needed for building up strength, highlighting the identity of this family as a martial arts family.

However, at this moment, his grandfather Wang Yuanba was standing on the steps with a group of younger generations and disciples, with a look of fear on his face.

And opposite Wang Yuanba, confronting him, were - several women?
Lin Pingzhi and Li Ming and others who followed behind him looked at him curiously.

There were only five women in total, four of whom looked like maids. They were surrounding a person who seemed to be their leader. She was wearing a plain white dress and her face was covered with a thin layer of gauze, revealing only a pair of slightly cold eyes and an outstanding temperament.

There were only a few women among them, but in terms of aura, they overwhelmed people like Wang Yuanba who had been famous for many years.

Although I couldn't see the woman's face clearly, judging from her eyes, she should be in her thirties, with fair skin and good looks.

When Lin Pingzhi and others walked in, they naturally attracted the attention of both sides, and they all looked over.

Wang Yuanba's already ugly expression became even gloomier, and he looked at the servant who opened the door for Lin Pingzhi with a reproachful look.

I thought, "What time is it now? We are facing a powerful enemy. Didn't I say that I would close the door to visitors? Why did I let a stranger in for no reason?"

But when Wang Yuanba's gaze swept over Lin Pingzhi, he suddenly paused. He seemed to feel that he was a little familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a moment.

Lin Pingzhi had never been to Luoyang. It was only a few years ago, when he was still a child, Wang Yuanba took people to visit relatives in Fuzhou and met him.

Now that so many years have passed, Lin Pingzhi has changed a lot. Wang Yuanba only vaguely sensed some familiarity in his features, but could not recognize him for the moment.

Until Lin Pingzhi called out, "Grandpa!"

Wang Yuanba was stunned at first, then he realized something and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"Ping'er, is that you?"

"Grandpa, it's Pingzhi."

Suddenly, Wang Yuanba's face was full of surprise. He had been exchanging letters with Lin Pingzhi during this period of time and knew the general situation of the other party's learning martial arts in Qianming Martial Arts School. However, he did not expect that Lin Pingzhi would suddenly come to him today.

But after a flash of joy, Wang Yuanba's attention was drawn back to the people in Yihua Palace in front of him.

But now, Wang Yuanba's mind has started to work.

As expected of an old man who has been in the business for many years and is quite famous, his brain reacts quickly and he immediately realizes that Lin Pingzhi's appearance is an opportunity!
He glanced at Li Ming and others who followed Lin Pingzhi. Seeing that they were all wearing uniform silver-white clothes, he thought they were all disciples of Qianming Martial Arts School like Lin Pingzhi.

Today, Yihua Palace came to cause trouble for Wang Yuanba, and his life was in danger. He didn't know what to do.

He couldn't afford to offend the people from Yihua Palace, and now with the arrival of this group of disciples from Qianming Martial Arts School, isn't it like someone giving him a pillow when he's sleepy?

Qianming Martial Arts School is famous. It is said that the owner, Li Ming, may even be a new Grandmaster in the martial arts world. Yihua Palace may not dare to provoke them...

Wang Yuanba was just thinking about how to cause the two sides to confront each other, when he heard the woman leading the Yihua Palace becoming impatient and starting to urge him.

"Wang Yuanba, stop stalling for time. What are you doing? I want an answer from you today. Either your Golden Blade Sect completely submits to my Yihua Palace and becomes our subordinate force, or you compensate us for our losses and from now on, 80% of your Golden Blade Sect's annual revenue must be distributed to Yihua Palace. What is your choice? Give me your answer."

The woman's voice was cold and seemed to carry a sense of authority.

"Eighty percent, why don't you just go and rob it!"

Several young men around Wang Yuanba who were dressed in gorgeous clothes started shouting, looking indignant.

They were all Wang Yuanba's descendants, and two of them were even Wang Yuanba's grandsons. They were usually spoiled and had never suffered such humiliation.

"Who the hell do you think you are? How dare you yell at me like that?"

Before they finished speaking, they heard the cold voice of the woman from Yihua Palace, followed by her suddenly raising her hand.

Most of the people present did not see clearly the traces of her attack, but the grandson beside Wang Yuanba suddenly gasped, his hair and clothes were blown up by the strong wind, and the feeling of oppression made him breathless.

A palm print condensed from true energy appeared in front of him and was getting closer and closer.

This move was so sudden that even Wang Yuanba next to him didn't react, let alone come to the rescue.

If this palm print were to land firmly on him, Wang Yuanba's precious grandson would be seriously injured if not killed.

"stop!"

On one side, Wang Yuanba was shouting angrily, and on the other side, a breeze passed by them.

As a figure moving at an extremely fast speed flashed past him, Wang Yuanba's beloved grandson immediately felt relaxed, and the feeling of oppression just now disappeared.

The palm print was taken by Lin Pingzhi who suddenly appeared.

Swish!
A domineering energy lingered around Lin Pingzhi's body, constantly tearing at his protective qi.

Lin Pingzhi, who was equipped with the Dou Zhuan Xing Yi and Fei Xu Jin, was unable to completely neutralize the opponent's attacks in such a short period of time. He could only use his body skills to move backwards, taking advantage of the gaps to neutralize the attack layer by layer, while also forcibly offsetting a part of it with his own true energy.

boom!
Lin Pingzhi's feet landed on the steps in front of the main hall, making a crisp sound.

Wang Yuanba and others looked closely and found that the stone steps under Lin Pingzhi's feet had been crushed into pieces.

But Lin Pingzhi himself was fine.

Wang Yuanba was shocked!
The woman who is the leader of the Yihua Palace opposite is at the peak of the Xiantian realm. Wang Yuanba himself is also at the Xiantian realm and has been famous in the martial arts world for many years.

But the gap in strength between the two was too great. When the other party attacked just now, he didn't even have room to react.

If they really fought, Wang Yuanba estimated that his life would be in danger within twenty moves.

However, his precious grandson actually took on the opponent's move easily, and it seemed that his strength was not inferior to the other party!
This, this...he is so powerful?

Wang Yuanba began to doubt his life for a moment.

Wang Yuanba's grandson didn't react until now. He was stunned for a moment, a look of fear appeared on his face, and his face turned purple in an instant.

The woman from Yihua Palace opposite was also surprised.

She stared at Lin Pingzhi, and for a moment she was unable to see through his strengths and weaknesses.

Then he glanced at the people brought by Lin Pingzhi.

"When Yihua Palace is doing business, outsiders are not allowed to disturb it. What sect or faction are you from? Are you trying to make an enemy of Yihua Palace by meddling in its affairs?"

The other party brought up the name of Yihua Palace, and Lin Pingzhi was a little hesitant.

He believed that his master Li Ming would not be weaker than the two palace masters Yao Yue and Lian Xing of Yihua Palace, but this matter was his grandfather's family and was their private matter.

Lin Pingzhi had no reason to make such an enemy for his master because of his family's private affairs.

Master Li Ming has been very kind to him, so Lin Pingzhi could not do such a thing.

He turned around and asked Wang Yuanba, "Grandpa, what is going on?" Wang Yuanba had placed all his hopes on this grandson who suddenly appeared, and hurriedly briefly recounted the whole story.

It turns out that Yihua Palace’s visit was not without reason.

Wang Yuanba is the leader of the Luoyang Golden Sword Sect. He has a large family and a lot of disciples under him. He has also been expanding his influence in the underworld near Luoyang Prefecture.

Some time ago, the Jindao Sect had a conflict with another gang near Luoshui, and the two sides became enemies.

As a local tycoon in Luoyang, Wang Yuanba immediately gathered his disciples and, after several battles, annexed the gang and took over their assets.

Originally, this was just a normal incident in the martial arts world. Wang Yuanba's Golden Sword Sect had grown to its current size because he had done similar things countless times.

But who could have imagined that this gang had already secretly defected to Yihua Palace and offered tributes to the palace every year.

Although Yihua Palace rarely moves around in the underworld, there are indeed quite a few underworld forces under their control, and they can collect a large sum of money every year just by sitting there.

The Jindao Sect cut off one of the other party's sources of income, so the Yihua Palace soon sent people to cause trouble.

When Wang Yuanba learned that he had accidentally offended the famous Yihua Palace, he became extremely nervous and immediately expressed his willingness to compensate for the losses.

But who would have thought that Yihua Palace would offer a sky-high price that he could not accept at all. It was obvious that they wanted to use this incident to forcibly annex their Jindao Sect. Such conditions were absolutely impossible for him to agree to.

Wang Yuanba naturally would not agree. After much wrangling, Yihua Palace lost its patience and even killed several hall masters of the Jindao Sect. Today, they came to the sect and issued an ultimatum.

Unexpectedly, I ran into Lin Pingzhi.

After roughly understanding what had happened, Lin Pingzhi nodded.

From what the woman said just now, it can indeed be heard that the conditions offered by Yihua Palace are too harsh and no normal person can accept them.

Li Ming seemed to be thinking about something, and was thinking in his heart, if we talk about ruthlessness, Yihua Palace is still the most ruthless one. Isn't this clearly using power to suppress others and get something for nothing?

Compared with them, and thinking about my current strength and my usual behavior in Qixia Town, I am simply a great guy.

But this is normal, as Yihua Palace is famous for its unreasonable style in the martial arts world.

Lin Pingzhi looked at Li Ming and the others and said, "Master, this is our family affair. I can handle it by myself. There is no need for you to intervene."

Lin Pingzhi said this to help his grandfather, but he didn't want to make enemies with Yihua Palace in the name of the martial arts school.

"Master?"

Wang Yuanba didn't react for a moment, but after thinking about it carefully, Lin Pingzhi was learning martial arts at Qianming Martial Arts School, and didn't he only have one master?

Could it be that……

Wang Yuanba looked at Li Ming with shock on his face!
Could this person be the Master Li who has become famous recently?
When Wang Yuanba saw that they were young and about the same age as Lin Pingzhi, he didn't think about it in that direction at all. He thought they were all Lin Pingzhi's fellow disciples at Qianming Martial Arts School.

But before he could say anything, Lin Pingzhi had already drawn his sword.

"Yihua Palace is unreasonable and uses its power to oppress others. It is too overbearing."

The masked woman sneered when she saw Lin Pingzhi's actions.

"Boy, do you want to fight me?"

"Since we are all in the martial arts world, there is no point in talking too much. Let's see for ourselves. Please teach me."

Lin Pingzhi's true energy was accumulated on the blade of the sword.

The woman also restrained her contempt.

Lin Pingzhi's skills just now have attracted her attention.

Don't be fooled by the boy's young age. The masked woman, who is at the peak of the Innate Realm, is actually quite unsure of herself.

"Boy, if you dare to go against our Yihua Palace, be careful that you will die without knowing how. Today, let my flower slave teach you a lesson!"

Before she finished her words, the woman had disappeared from the spot.

Wang Yuanba and others subconsciously looked at Lin Pingzhi, but suddenly found that he had also disappeared!
Whoosh!
Two figures that were so fast that they were almost invisible collided in the air, and powerful true energy burst out in confrontation.

Lin Pingzhi's Jade Maiden Sword Technique was incredibly fast, each move was mysterious, and the true energy mixed in each move was extremely strong. Ordinary people in the Innate Realm would not be able to handle it at all.

In the first three moves, the two sides fought head-on, and the masked woman called Hua Nu was actually at a disadvantage, her body unstable due to the shock.

She quickly adjusted her strategy, and her vital energy circulated throughout her body. When Lin Pingzhi's attack came again, she deflected it with a clever move.

It's actually similar to the martial art of using the opponent's force to counter attack.

Seeing this, Li Ming touched his chin with interest.

Flower slave?

He had no impression of this name. He only remembered that in Yihua Palace, besides Yao Yue and Lian Xing, there were Xing Nu and Yue Nu.

However, since he can be called a flower slave, he must be Yao Yue Lianxing's valued right-hand man and have a high status in Yihua Palace.

In addition, the technique that the other party practiced...

After observing for a moment, Li Ming guessed about 80% of it.

Such superb skill of using the opponent's force to counter attack, as well as the burst of exquisite internal force, should be the practice of Yihua Palace's Wedding Dress Magic.

In the original novel, the Wedding Dress Skill is the unique skill of the hero Yan Nantian, but in the adapted TV series, it has become the martial arts of the Yihua Palace.

The technique of grafting that Li Ming taught Jiang Yuyan is the ninth level of this version of the Wedding Dress Skill.

Li Ming's eyes lit up as he never expected such a good thing to come to him unexpectedly.

He was still struggling with how to train Jiang Yuyan after teaching her the art of grafting. Unexpectedly, he came across such a good opportunity. If he could grasp it, it might be Jiang Yuyan's chance!
Thinking of this, Li Ming looked at Jiang Yuyan who was watching the game attentively and asked.

"Yuyan, how is your practice of flower-transplanting going?"

Jiang Yuyan was suddenly asked and was slightly stunned. She didn't know why her master chose this time to test her progress in martial arts, but after thinking about it, she still said.

“I’m already very skilled at it.”

Jiang Yuyan was not lying. She had done nothing but practice this skill for two months and had already mastered it.

"Well, get ready. I may need you to take action later."

"what!"

Jiang Yuyan immediately became nervous when she heard this.

She knew that the martial arts she practiced had no combat effectiveness at all, and usually she could only watch her fellow disciples sparring in the martial arts gym. Why did her master suddenly ask her to take action?

At the same time, the other four women in Yihua Palace couldn't stand it anymore.

"Master Hua Nu, we are here to help you!"

The four women suddenly drew their swords and instantly landed in four directions around Lin Pingzhi, forming a formation.

As soon as Lin Pingzhi separated from Hua Nu, sharp sword energy suddenly attacked from four directions, forcing him to quickly use his body skills to dodge.

The formation of Yihua Palace is also unique. Four women formed a sword formation, attacking one after another, forcing Lin Pingzhi to dodge repeatedly.
