The Villain's Counterattack

Chapter 472 The Reason Why the Famous Master Beats the Child

There is a reason why the Demon Sect is called the Demon Sect. When Yang Xuyan asked Anlong for advice, this bastard actually talked a lot and instilled in him "successful experience" for a full three hours.

What successful experience?

Not only that, he also revealed the successful experiences of other fellow Taoists, not only the distant master Anlong who was attacked by backlash, but also the recent one, Zuo Youxian, the true disciple of the Taoist ancestor who just succeeded. However, their successful experiences may not be suitable for himself. After all, his own master is a real master at the peak level, and can even be said to be a half-step grandmaster. The little tricks of the two of them are useless at all.

Shi Zhixuan's talent is undoubtedly among the best of his generation, surpassed even by the three great masters. However, he suffered from bad luck, encountering his nemesis and being schemed by a group of heartless nuns, ultimately driving him semi-mad and causing his martial arts skills to plummet. Yet, despite this, he is still considered the best master under the Grand Master, and the foremost among the Demon Sect.

Wait, it seems that his master is not crazy yet, and is still the evil king Shi Zhixuan who is outstanding and high-spirited, and can fight against the great masters of Taoism. Yang Xuyan carefully reviewed his memory, and from Yang Xuyan's own analysis and the plot, he suddenly found that the specific time points of some things could not be accurately grasped.

For example, when did his master wake up from the gentle arms of his home, and then come out to stir up trouble; when did his mistress read the "Immortal Seal Scroll", and when did she pass away? However, there is also a master around his mistress, and that is the Tyrant Sword Yue Shan.

This old fellow was definitely old enough. He had already passed away when the original plot began. Back then, he was defeated by Heavenly Blade Song Que forty years ago and went to Youlin Cottage to seek refuge with Bi Xiuxin. If we count from now, that would have been thirty years ago. At that time, Bi Xiuxin was at the height of her fame, admired by many masters of both good and evil, and was the face of Cihang Jingzhai.

Ba Dao Yue Shan is an out-and-out master of the evil ways, but after being seriously injured, he turned to this righteous figure. Not only is Bi Xiuxin an excellent doctor, but he also feels safest by her side. This is the true influence of Bi Xiuxin.

Everyone knows that the evil king, Shi Zhixuan, was captivated by a thread of affection from the worldly-traveling Bi Xiuxin of Cihang Jingzhai, leading him to withdraw from the martial arts world. Bi Xiuxin bound the peerless demon with her own body, bringing many years of peace to the martial world. However, Yang Xuyan saw it as more of a duel of equals: a brilliant and exceptional demonic Grandmaster against a stunningly beautiful, virtuous, and influential representative of Buddhism.

By exchanging Bixiuxin for Zishizhixuan, did the righteous Buddhist sect really make a profit?

Not really.

Shi Zhixuan is talented, ambitious and resourceful. He inherits the two major inheritances of Butian Pavilion and Huajian Sect, and has younger brothers like An Long following him. He has great hope of suppressing the Demon Sect and becoming the new generation of Evil Emperor. Sacrificing Bi Xiuxin to bring him out of the world seems to be a win for the Buddhist sect no matter how you look at it.

But is this really the case?

Although Shi Zhixuan retired from the world on the surface, he extended his hand to the court. Pei Ju was his incarnation, and the existence of the great and virtuous monk explained many problems.

A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. At that time, Shi Zhixuan had become the target of public criticism. Both the good and evil factions wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible. If Cihang Jingzhai, the Four Great Saint Monks, and the Yingui Sect joined forces to attack him, he would certainly not be spared. At this time, if he "died together" with Bi Xiuxin, in addition to making Cihang Jingzhai earn a good reputation, the real beneficiary would actually be Shi Zhixuan himself.

Combining with Bi Xiuxin will bring many benefits to Shi Zhixuan. Firstly, he can avoid the direct pursuit and oppression of the Buddhist sect. Secondly, he can bring Bi Xiuxin, the great enemy, out of the world. You must know that in terms of influence in the world, there is still some gap between Shi Zhixuan and Bi Xiuxin.

The existence that can make heroes such as clan leader Li Yuan, Heavenly Sword Song Que, Tyrant Sword Yue Shan, and talented Lu Miaozi admire and miss her is so influential that Shi Zhixuan cannot compare to her. If she does not withdraw from the world, the Demon Sect will definitely have a hard time.

And it is not easy to kill her. Bi Xiuxin's martial arts skills are also superb. She is a real master-level expert. She has just entered the realm of sword heart enlightenment. Although she is not as good as the half-step grandmaster Shi Zhixuan, she is definitely not much different.

The fact that she could single-handedly defeat Shi Zhixuan and survive his injuries speaks volumes, not to mention the fact that she was accompanied by veteran masters like Tyrant Blade Yue Shan. As long as she remained in the martial arts world, the Demon Sect would be suppressed. Don't underestimate the Evil King Shi Zhixuan's reputation; in reality, he remained in hiding, afraid to step out in the open. His true advantage lay with the righteous.

It is really hard to tell who wins or loses in this exchange, at least not in the short term. Bi Xiuxin married and retired from the world, and the evil king Shi Zhixuan retired to the mountains. The whole world seemed to have calmed down a lot. However, besides Bi Xiuxin, there is also Fan Qinghui, and besides Shi Zhixuan, who else is there?

Zhu Yuyan?

Compared with Bi Xiuxin, both Fan Qinghui and Zhu Yuyan were far inferior, and in the end both of them inherited their respective sects. Their influence in the martial arts world could not be compared with that of Shi Zhixuan and Bi Xiuxin. Apart from the minor fights between the two sects, they were far from able to stir up trouble in the entire martial arts world.

However, Yang Xuyan, who was familiar with the plot, knew that from the current perspective, Shi Zhixuan actually won this round. The best proof was that Yang Guang defeated Yang Yong and ascended to the supreme position.

It should be noted that Yang Yong was the representative promoted by Buddhism, while Yang Guang was the target chosen by the Demonic Sect.

Yang Guang's rise to prominence after Shi Zhixuan and Bi Xiuxin's marriage and retirement was no accident. Who would believe that the Demon Sect had no hand in this? It also indirectly reflects that after the loss of Bi Xiuxin, Cihang Jingzhai temporarily fell behind in the overall situation.

For now, it seems that Shi Zhixuan has won this round.

But before Shi Zhixuan could make any big move, when Yang Guang had just become the crown prince and had not yet ascended the throne, Bi Xiuxin resolutely fought back, and her move was a fatal blow: Shi Qingxuan was born.

At this moment, Shi Zhixuan was at a disadvantage and was almost killed by a blow, so he accepted Yang Xuyan as his disciple to counter Shi Qingxuan's influence on him.

How could a small Yang Xuyan fight against two powerful enemies, Bi Xiuxin and Shi Qingxuan? Shi Zhixuan fell into poverty again. Not long ago, he even accepted Hou Xibai as his disciple under the influence of Bi Xiuxin and became the successor of the Huajian School. Yang Xuyan's situation became even worse.

Shi Zhixuan was in great danger at the moment. The Immortal Seal was based on Buddhist thought, with the Butian Pavilion and Huajian School's martial arts as left and right wheels. If the two were out of balance, their power would be greatly reduced, forcing him to intensify the training of Yang Xuyan. This led to the story of a famous master beating a child.

Beside Shi Zhixuan, there are Yang Xuyan and An Long on one side, and Bi Xiuxin, Shi Qingxuan and Hou Xibai on the other side. No matter how you look at it, the situation is unbalanced. If this continues, the Immortal Seal will be broken and Shi Zhixuan will be defeated.

An Long had just helped his elder brother Shi Zhixuan with a small task. He found a special animal skin and recorded a peerless martial art. When Yang Xuyan heard the news, he knew that Shi Zhixuan had been defeated. He chose to escape temporarily, and offered his unique martial arts skills for survival, leaving the choice to Bi Xiuxin.

If Bi Xiuxin, who had won a great victory between the two, knew when to stop and took steady steps to train Shi Qingxuan and Hou Xibai, she would be able to stand in an invincible position. If she wanted to win a great victory and completely control Shi Zhixuan, she would need to study the "Immortal Seal Scroll" painstakingly and grasp Shi Zhixuan from the root.

However, no matter what choice Bi Xiuxin made, Shi Zhixuan, who handed over the "Immortal Seal Scroll", had actually been defeated. His fate was not in his own hands at this moment, but in the hands of Bi Xiuxin.

Thinking of this, Yang Xuyan sighed deeply and said silently in his heart: Master, when it comes to love, if you can afford to play with it, then play with it, if you can't afford to play with it, then admit defeat. Forcing yourself to be arrogant will easily lead to problems. These days, those who are always arrogant are the most difficult to deal with.

An Long's voice kept chattering in his ears, all of which were about his great achievements and successful experiences. Yang Xuyan suddenly felt that this fat man was a little cute and couldn't help but smile widely. "Uncle Long, can this method really deal with Master?"

An Long's smug expression froze on his face in an instant. "Boy Yang, your question is very fatal in every aspect."

Seeing An Long's embarrassment, Yang Xuyan chuckled and said, "Come on, Uncle Long, let's plan carefully how to successfully assassinate the master."

Anlong: Boy, don't harm me. Brother Shi is not someone that losers like you and me can shake. It's like a dragonfly trying to shake a tree to get its death.
