Dima City, thousands of empty alleys.

Even the most lively torch festival has never brought about such a big change in the city. The reason why he dared to take to the streets in the contradiction between Tiele and the Xiongnu was only because of a team of people from outside the city.

There is no shortage of extravagant tribes in the convoy that comes and goes to Dima every day, but there is no convoy that can give people the urge to bow and worship just from the formation of the pair in front of them.

The horses that pull the cart are sweaty horses that are abundant in the grasslands, and each one is worth a fortune.

The six scarlet carriages made of elms are exquisitely shaped, and each car is carved with lifelike wood carvings on the exterior. Craftsmen with such outstanding skills can be said to be rare in the Xia Kingdom, and most of them are gathered in the royal court.

On either side of the carriage stood eight maidens dressed in white veils. Each girl has fair skin that is not commensurate with the women of the Western Regions, although it is winter, but they each carry a flower basket in their hands, and every few steps will pick up colorful petals from the flower basket, the jade hand is light, and the petals flutter in the wind, making the whole team seem to be walking from the picture scroll.

At the outermost periphery, twenty men with grim faces were holding spears, and their momentum was awe-inspiring. The expressionless faces were like sculptures, but the murderous aura they exuded made everyone's heart tremble.

Beautiful young blood, iron-blooded soldiers, luxurious carriages... Putting it all together, it's not hard to think about who the owner of the carriage was.

Ling Bingyan, the leader of the State Religion of Xia and the Divine Martial Sect.

This goddess, who combines wisdom and beauty, is a legend in itself.

When she was still a saint, she was called "the most gifted saint in history" by the previous sect leader. However, at the beginning of her succession, she faced challenges from Datang.

It is rumored that Mu Jingfeng, the number one master of the Tang Dynasty, is making waves in the Western Regions, and countless masters of the Xia Kingdom are hated under him, as the new leader of the Xia State Religion, Ling Bingyan is duty-bound.

It is said that she and Mu Jingfeng fought in the desert for three days and three nights, and the final result is unknown, but since then, Mu Jingfeng has never appeared in the field of vision of the Xia people.

Fighting alone against the number one master of the Tang Dynasty without falling behind made Ling Bingyan's fame reach its peak. She was only twenty-one years old.

The courage to challenge Mu Jingfeng was recognized by the royal family of the Xia Kingdom. At that time, the Tang Dynasty sent people to try to subvert the Tang royal family in one fell swoop. King Xia was overjoyed and immediately agreed to the request of the Oriental Journey.

With the attitude of the Tang Dynasty towards the Xia State, it is impossible for the Xia State to send a force deep into the Tang Dynasty. After thinking about it, King Xia sent a team of five thousand top masters to infiltrate the Tang Dynasty in batches, and the leader of this team was Ling Bingyan.

Later, the whole world knew about the failure of the rebellion of the three princes of the Tang Dynasty, but few people knew that the most critical reason was that when Ling Bingyan faced the victory at his fingertips, he chose to give up because of his feelings, and also buried the best opportunity to overthrow the Tang royal family.

At that time, the royal family of the Xia Kingdom knew that the Holy Maiden of the Shenwu Sect, who they relied on the most, the pride of the entire Xia Kingdom, actually fell in love with a man from the Tang Dynasty!

Since then, the power of the Shenwu Sect has plummeted - how can a woman whose heart is elsewhere be trusted?

In the face of King Xia's anger, the former sect leader apologized in front of King Xia in order to save his most beloved apprentice, thus saving one of Ling Bingyan's lives. But after that, the Shenwu Sect never regained its former glory, and could only engage in assassination, secret exploration and other shady deeds, but gradually moved away from the center of power. It is precisely because of its despicable deeds and cruel methods that the Shenwu Sect has gradually become what people call it the "Demon Sect" from the Holy Sect that everyone looked up to.

Ling Bingyan didn't care about all this. She knew that she had to pay the price for what she had done wrong, and the suffering of the past thirteen years was her explanation to the master who died for her.

originally thought that she would continue to fall like this, but fortunately, Immortal Heaven favored her and gave her an apprentice who was not weaker than her in terms of appearance, wisdom and qualifications-Naran Wuduo.

Ling Bingyan had always regarded her as her own, just as her own master had treated her, and she knew that this was the hope for the re-emergence of the Divine Martial Sect.

However, his blind concession made some people who should have been relieved to assist him gradually disagree and wanted to replace them. It's not that she doesn't know this, but she deliberately pretends not to see it for the sake of the stability of the Shenwu Sect.

The Divine Martial Sect has reached the point where it is now, and it has become crumbling and can no longer withstand any blows. It's ridiculous that those people, for their own selfish interests, really think that they have changed from tigers to sick cats. Right now, this kind of deed, which could only be carried out in private, has been openly brought to the fore.

It's just that the great elder took the initiative to ask for help, and he even asked to bring a few elders to strengthen his momentum.

The Third Elder, the Fifth Elder, and the Sixth Elder, it is difficult to understand that the Great Elder naively thinks that he doesn't know that these three old guys with foxes are his people? Or did he not intend to hide anything at all, and planned to openly force himself to give up the throne of the sect leader?

Either way, it would be a blessing or a curse for himself, but Ling Bingyan still readily agreed to the Great Elder's request.

He wanted to get rid of Ling Bingyan, why didn't she want to clear the way for her precious apprentice? Rather than waiting for these rats hiding in the shadows to appear one by one, it is better to catch them all.

The city of Dima in front of them is the last stop of the eastward mission, and I am afraid it will also be their final destination.

In the carriage, there was a sneer on the corner of Ling Bingyan's mouth hidden under the veil. How can a woman who can survive in a group of devils who eat people and don't spit out bones be easily looked down upon?

****************************

Outside the west gate of Dima City, people who had come to see the demeanor of the Shenwu Sect Leader were surrounded by people.

Although Dima City was located in the eastern frontier, and in the entire Xia Kingdom, it was the area that was least affected by the state religion, but that didn't mean that they didn't know what the three words Shenwu Sect meant, and it didn't mean that they hadn't heard of Ling Bingyan's name.

In the royal court, the people of Dongjiang are synonymous with stubbornness, pedantic and barbarism, which is the same as the sense of the Tang people to the people of the Xia Kingdom. But why don't the people of Eastern Xinjiang yearn for civilization? Don't yearn for a better life?

Therefore, even if they were not brainwashed by the teachings of the Divine Martial Sect, these ordinary people of Dima City also showed unprecedented fanaticism for Ling Bingyan's arrival.

At the front of the crowd, two teams of people gathered. The two people at the head are naturally the city lord Huyantuo and Tiele head Nago.

There are not many cases where two people who are so incompatible can appear together, especially when Tiele No. 2 is already dead. But both of them knew their identities very well, and in the eyes of the Shenwu Sect Master, they were probably not even two dogs. If the sect leader is unhappy and takes his own life, he will not even be able to make a splash between Tiele and the Xiongnu high-level.

It is precisely because they know their place that they are extraordinarily humble.

As the convoy approached, Huyantuo's face was filled with unconcealable nervousness. For the great elder who promised him a high-ranking official and a generous honor, he felt awe from the bottom of his heart, and it was difficult not to be afraid of becoming an enemy with such a big man.

Because if there is any flaw, he will have to pay with his life.

Somewhat similar to Huyantuo, Nago's heart was also full of nervousness.

Dongjiang is different from other regions, where it is chaotic and mixed, and whoever has the big fist is the boss. Originally, Mo Lingtu's army was on the side, which gave him the courage to challenge the overlord of Dima City, so he would make a big fuss about Bayegu's death, waiting for the Huns to be unable to hold their breath. But no matter how provocative he was, how he killed people and set fires, Huyantuo was indifferent.

The truth that the name is not justified works in the Xia Kingdom. Huyantuo's retreat made Nago unable to find a reason to start a big war, and the arrival of the Shenwu Sect leader forced him to put an end to this farce.

Don't forget, Ling Bingyan is here to maintain stability, and if she sees that Dima City is in shambles, she will be angry with herself, it will be more than worth the loss.

Two people with different thoughts, but with the same expression. After the convoy was still 100 meters away, he knelt down with all his subordinates.

"Welcome to the Sect Master!"

They knelt down as if sending out some kind of signal, and then the people fell to the ground in rows like the wind blowing wheat. Looking from afar, I saw countless black shadows kneeling together, and the scene was particularly spectacular.

Just as everyone was waiting with anticipation for the sect leader to appear, a fiery figure suddenly flew out of the crowd.

A young woman was like a petal in the wind, fluttering to the ground, blocking the people of Dima City and the Shenwu Sect convoy. The flowing red dress was like fire, and it stood out above the withering yellow grass and under the blue sky.

The people of Dima City gasped, you must know that the person sitting in the car opposite is no one else, but the master of the hall! The woman in front of her looks like a fairy in the Moon Palace from her back, and her flying green silk and slender waist make countless young people swallow their saliva, but this woman is too bold to dare to intercept the convoy single-handedly, isn't this looking for death?

Only Tang An, who was hiding in the crowd, raised his head slightly, with a smug smile on the corner of his mouth. He knew that the hot girl in front of him could appear here at this time, which was enough to prove that his plan had succeeded.

Staring at the round buttocks, fantasizing about the madness in the carriage a few nights ago, Tang An only felt as if there was a fire in his chest, and it was burning more and more, and he couldn't extinguish it. It's a pity that such a picture will only exist in my dreams for a long time.

"Bold! Who would dare to intercept the sect leader's convoy? ”

The sudden abnormality made Huyantuo and Nago feel that their hearts were about to jump out, and at the same time they pulled out their knives and shouted.

Equally nervous were the twenty guards around the carriage. They didn't have any superfluous words, but clenched their spears in their hands.

The tense and beautiful picture seemed to freeze, and after a few moments, a pleasant voice floated from the carriage: "Naran Uduo - is that you?" ”

To everyone's surprise, the girl in red bowed and said aloud to the carriage: "Unfilial disciples meet the master!" ”
