Chapter 278 The Powerful Old Monk of West Desert
The angry Xia Yuange calmed down instantly because he felt a terrifying pressure that shocked his soul.

“It’s Shengwei!”

Xia Yuange had felt this kind of terror from the ancient ancestor, so he could recognize it easily!
I didn’t expect that there would be an ancient sage to protect Liu Shan!

Could it be Jiang Taixu, the white-robed God King of the Jiang family?

Before, I had clearly found out that the God King of the Jiang Family was already in seclusion in the Jiang Family?

But this unique holy power is definitely not wrong.

Xia Yuange was thinking hard. Now that there was an ancient sage, his attitude towards Liu Shan had to change.

"My friend, since you and Yilin are already so close, have you ever considered taking your relationship a step further?"

"What does the emperor mean?"

"Then you shouldn't mind marrying her, right?"

Liu Shan stared at Xia Yuange and did not answer.

"My Lord, why are you doing all this?"

"I would like to ask the ancient saint behind you to see me."

After hearing Xia Yuange's words, Liu Shan paused at first, then burst out laughing.

It turns out that all the planning was just to see Long Li?

In fact, it was Liu Shan who always underestimated the influence of Long Li and others as saints.

In this era of suppression by imperial rules, the rulers of the major holy lands and dynasties are only at the level of great power, and may not have even reached the peak.

A king can dominate one side, and even a strong king can block the gate of a holy place with an extremely powerful imperial weapon. As long as it is not too excessive, these forces will not use the imperial weapon.

After all, even a powerful person using an imperial weapon can only exert one ten-thousandth of its power. If the king cannot be kept, then it won't be as simple as blocking the mountain gate.

However, Liu Shan has always been protected by the saint and has a close relationship with the saint, but he has never experienced the saint's influence and terror.

Therefore, he couldn't understand why Xia Yuange tried every means to meet Long Li and plot against him through Xia Yilin.

"Long Li..." Liu Shan called softly, and a ray of divine light fell.

I saw an ancient and mysterious figure appeared beside the two of them. She was surrounded by the surging Tao rhyme, as if she was the incarnation of the Tao. There were countless Tao divine rings behind her. If you comprehend carefully, it seemed that every divine ring contained infinite laws of heaven and earth.

Xia Yuange quickly stood up and bowed respectfully.

"Welcome to the ancient sage..." Xia Yuange was very respectful and did not dare to be negligent in the slightest.

Liu Shan also looked at Long Li, who was completely different from before.

At this moment, she truly looked like an ancient goddess, so transcendent and otherworldly, with extraordinary temperament, and her every frown and smile was evolving different principles.

Xia Yuange raised his head excitedly, then looked at Liu Shan again.

"My dear friend, can you let me be alone with the Ancient Saint? I want to discuss something with her."

Liu Shan was a little stunned. Did he still need to avoid him?
After a little thought, he nodded in agreement.

On the other hand, Xia Yi Bo, who had just returned from the court meeting, had sent someone to use secret techniques to pass the news back to Western Desert.

The Western Desert is still covered with yellow sand and is peaceful. Wherever there are people, you can hear bursts of Zen chanting.

"Oh no." A cute little nun hurriedly flew to the ancient temple on the mountain that was emitting sacred Buddhist light.

In the ancient temple, in front of a huge Buddha statue, there are dozens of old nuns with stern faces, all of whom are silently reciting scriptures.

The leaders all noticed someone rushing over in a hurry, and they all showed a hint of displeasure on their faces.

The little nun flew quickly to the door of the hall, then landed quickly, walked into the hall panting, and was about to speak.

"You are disrespectful to Buddha, so I punish you to go into seclusion for half a month!" Among the old nuns in the lead, one with long thin eyebrows opened her eyes, turned around and looked at the young nun sharply.

"Ah!" The little nun pouted and looked aggrieved. She just wanted to tell everyone the important news.

"Go and meditate quickly!" Seeing that the little nun didn't move, the old nun who was speaking became even angrier.

The little nun was frightened and trembled, so she turned around and tried to leave.

"Wait a minute, what's the rush?" Another old nun with a skinny face also opened her eyes and asked softly with her back to everyone.

The little nun turned around again, looked at the old nun's back in front of her with fear, and said tremblingly.

"Yilin, she wants to return to secular life and get married."

"boom"

As soon as the words fell, all kinds of auras suddenly erupted in the hall, Buddha's light flashed, anger and Zen blended together, there was no longer any sense of sacredness, and everyone was shocked by the news.

"What did you say!"

In an instant, the little nun who was speaking was surrounded by several figures, all looking at her with cold expressions.

"There is a cultivator who has come to report. Yilin wants to return to secular life, and the Emperor of Daxia has found a husband for her." The little nun was almost scared to tears. The overbearing aura around her suppressed her, and she only felt severe pain all over her body.

"Humph, Yilin is a Buddhist nun with a noble status. How can I let you call her by her name? I will punish you to stay in seclusion for three years!" The old nun with long eyebrows was furious when she heard the news and began to punish the young nun. "Oh, I know I am wrong."

The little nun didn't dare to look up and had to accept the punishment. She and Yilin were obviously good friends, so why couldn't she call her by her name? Although she was confused, she just wanted to escape from here.

"Hmph, I said that the Buddhist girl should be left in the Western Desert and not allowed to return to Daxia!" said the old nun with long eyebrows angrily.

"It was all arranged by our senior sister!" The skinny old nun said with reluctance.

"Oh, stop talking. The senior sister has passed away. Let's set off now to bring back the Buddha girl." Another nun interrupted.

"What if the Buddhist woman doesn't want to, or the Great Xia Dynasty tries to stop her?" The old nun with long eyebrows had murderous intent in her eyes, and there was no trace of the kindness of a Buddhist nun at all.

"Bring him back by force! Ask for a holy weapon to be born!" The skinny old nun said coldly while looking at the Buddha statue.
-
On the other side, Xia Yuange and Long Li were discussing things in Liu Shan’s room in Qianlong Pavilion, while Liu Shan was waiting outside the hall.

Everything Xia Yuange said was repeated to Liu Shan by Long Li without any error.

"Senior, we in Da Xia want to cooperate with you." Xia Yuange said with a very respectful attitude.

In this world, powerful people are respected, kings are rare, and saints are the absolute strongest force, so Xia Yuange very much wants to use Long Li's power to change the situation in Zhongzhou.

Long Li: He wants to cooperate with me.

Liu Shan: Reject him.

"No need. I have no intention of interfering in Daxia's affairs." Long Li followed Liu Shan's instructions and refused directly.

"We in Daxia are very sincere. I am willing to provide 100,000 kilograms of Nine Heavens Divine Jade."

"Hmm? No need to say more." Long Li frowned and refused again. He dared to ask for such a condition.

Seeing that Long Li was already unhappy, Xia Yuange became a little flustered. How come this ancient saint was not tempted by the Nine Heavens Divine Jade, a material exclusively for saints?

Xia Yuange was full of confusion, but seeing that Long Li was unhappy, he did not dare to disturb him anymore and had to respectfully leave the hall.

At this time, Liu Shan, who was waiting outside, was admiring the scattered fairy birds and beasts. These animals were kept in captivity by the monks, just like poultry.

"Your Majesty, have you got what you wished for?" Liu Shan looked at Xia Yuange who had just walked out of the ancient palace with a smile on his face.

Xia Yuange shook his head slightly with a worried look on his face. Right now, Great Xia lacked the foundation and was in great need of the support of an ancient saint, but Long Li had directly refused, leaving him at a loss as to what conditions to exchange for.

Liu Shan, who knew everything, just chuckled and didn't say much. He didn't like this person from the bottom of his heart, so naturally he didn't want to help him.

Xia Yuange was troubled and planned to leave, but when he saw Liu Shan's indifferent expression, he couldn't help but have an idea.

"My dear, you and Yilin are getting married soon, and we can be considered a family now."

"You have a close relationship with the Ancient Saint, so you should know her very well, right? I want to cooperate with the Ancient Saint on something, but I don't know how to impress her." Xia Yuange hoped that Liu Shan could come up with a good idea.

"Having reached the realm of a saint, one can only hope to advance further. The only things that Da Xia can offer that would tempt an ancient saint are the Emperor's Scripture and the Ultimate Emperor's Weapon."

After hearing Liu Shan's words, Xia Yuange's face changed instantly. These two items are the heritage of Da Xia and can never be exchanged.

"Is there no other way?" Xia Yuange asked unwillingly.

"Then I have no other good idea." Taihuang Jing Liu Shan also wanted to take a look. After all, the imperial dragon energy was extremely domineering.

Xia Yuange left unwillingly, and Liu Shan returned to the hall again.

Xia Yilin in the Great Xia Imperial City did not refuse to return to secular life and get married, but she was filled with shame and anger over the incident at the Dragon Pond, and was still too embarrassed to face Liu Shan. She continued to hide in the inner city like an ostrich, not daring to show up.

Xia Yiming had no idea what happened in Hualongchi. He just felt that since his sister had agreed to marry Liu Shan, it was not good for her to stay away from her for so long. The two should keep in touch more and deepen their relationship.

So Xia Yiming kept going back and forth between the inner city and Qianlong Pavilion, persuading his sister while continuing to entertain Liu Shan.
-
On the other hand, the Buddhist practitioners of the Western Desert Dharma School, upon learning that the Buddhist girl was about to return to secular life, immediately carried their holy weapons and a pagoda, and hurriedly rushed from the Western Desert to Zhongzhou through the domain gate.

Looking at the capital of the Great Xia Kingdom that seemed like a city in heaven, the old nuns did not waste too much time and rushed all the way, wanting to fly directly to the inner city.

"whoosh"

The monks guarding the capital of Daxia noticed that someone dared to fly in the sky, so they attacked directly, trying to intercept them.

"boom"

The attack was directly blocked by the long-browed nun, and several nuns were stopped in mid-air.

"Who are you? How dare you fly above the capital of Daxia!" The monk flew in front of several old nuns.

"Humph, we are monks from the Western Desert, and we have come to Daxia to take Xia Yilin away."

"Hmm? Princess? Western Desert? Flying is not allowed above the capital, so you'd better follow me down." The monk advised solemnly.

The old nun in the lead emitted a divine light to freeze the monk, and then several people continued to fly forward.

Several old nuns flew directly to the entrance of Daxia's inner city and did not fly any further inside. They knew that the inner city must be covered with various magic arrays and Taoist patterns. If they rushed in recklessly, they would probably be attacked mercilessly.

"We are Buddhist practitioners from Western Desert, and we have come here specifically to look for Xia Yilin!" The leading nun spoke directly to the guards guarding the entrance.

Several guards all frowned. Who are these old nuns? Why did they ask to see the princess?
