Chapter 469: Forced to do something
"Oh!"

This scene made Luo Tianjin unable to help but crush the teacup in his hand to pieces.

As if sensing Luo Tianjin's hidden anger, Xie Xuan and the others looked at Ren Wuya with a hint of cold murderous intent in their eyes.

"Hu Yanba leaves, Si Wudao wins!"

Xu Qingnian looked at the unharmed Huyan Ba ​​in astonishment and announced the result reluctantly.

Ren Wuya remained calm and composed in the face of danger. Just as he was about to speak, Qingfeng suddenly interrupted him: "If Yulong Palace is so afraid of fighting, then the next few competitions can be cancelled to avoid wasting everyone's time."

"That's right!" Zuo Hongxuan said sarcastically, "The martial arts conference is not a joke, and the heroes of the world are not fools. The two competitions just now were simply ridiculous. The Tianshan Jade Dragon Palace is not worthy of its name. I think there is no need to send anyone to the stage to avoid humiliating the reputation of the Central Plains martial arts world."

"Since it is a martial arts competition, there will naturally be winners and losers, advances and retreats." Ren Wuya smiled indifferently, "You are not the worms in my stomach. You don't know the exquisiteness of my deployment of troops. How can you assert that Tianshan Yulong Palace is not worthy of its name?"

"This..." Xu Qingnian laughed dryly, "But the Jade Dragon Palace has been defeated in four battles..."

"So what?" Ren Wuya said, "A true master can turn the tide by himself. If they are mediocre, even if there are ten or eight of them, it will be useless."

Seeing Ren Wuya's calm and confident look, Xu Qingnian couldn't help but hesitate, and turned his inquiring eyes to Xuanming, Qingfeng and others. Seeing that they remained silent, he slowly nodded and said, "Since Palace Master Ren is determined to do so, we can't force it. However, among the three flag masters of Yulong Palace, two have been defeated, and the remaining one is far away in Tianshan. I wonder... who Palace Master Ren will send to fight Si Wudao next?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's attention was immediately focused on Ren Wuya.

Ren Wuya smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Xu is wrong. We have four flag masters in Yulong Palace instead of three."

"Four?"

"My grandson Xunyi." Ren Wuya cast a cunning look at the thoughtful Liu Xunyi, and said with a half-smile, "Dong Xiaoer and Hu Yanba are not good at martial arts, and they are no match for Tang Xuan and Si Wudao, and now they are both defeated. As my adopted grandson and the soon-to-be-appointed leader of the Tomb Tiger Banner, are you willing to lend a helping hand to me and save some face for the Tianshan Jade Dragon Palace in front of the heroes of the world?"

"hiss!"

Ren Wuya's words could not help but cause a burst of exclamations.

Liu Xunyi was just the Black Fan Bearer of Prince Xian's Mansion, but in the blink of an eye he became the "Master of the Tiger Banner" of Yulong Palace. He even had to go on the field to help Ren Wuya. This sudden change was difficult to accept for a while.

At this point, Luo Tianjin and Liu Xunyi finally understood Ren Wuya's intention. He wanted to test Liu Xunyi's willingness to surrender.

If Liu Xunyi is willing to fight for herself, Ren Wuya will step in to help Luo Tianjin remove obstacles.

But if Liu Xunyi pretended to be compliant and acted insincerely, the result would be very different.

Luo Tianjin stared at Ren Wuya with a hidden gaze, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

Ren Wuya looked back at Luo Tianjin without any hesitation, with a smile on his face, as if to show that he had no selfish motives.

Facing the cunning Ren Wuya, Liu Xunyi had no choice. In fact, from the moment he agreed to Luo Tianjin's transfer to Yulong Palace, he had no choice but to go all out and fight until his death.

"I... am willing to go on stage and fight."

"Okay!" Ren Wuya nodded with satisfaction, and turned to Xu Qingnian and asked, "Is it okay for me to send my grandson Xun Yi to compete?"

Xu Qingnian looked at Liu Xunyi with a strange look in his eyes, then looked at Ren Wuya who was calm and composed, and said, "This is Palace Master Ren's family affair, we will naturally not interfere."

"That's great!" Ren Wuya said with a smile, "Xun Yi'er, Hu Yanba, Dong Xiao'er and the disciples of Yulong Palace don't know you very well. Why don't you take this opportunity to prove your strength so that they will be convinced of you as the new leader of the flag?"

"I will do my best and go all out."

After saying that, Liu Xunyi glanced at Luo Tianjin, who had a complicated expression, from a distance, then made up his mind and jumped onto the sword-discussing stage.

In mid-air, the Wuji Sword was unsheathed, a white rainbow piercing the sun, a cold light flashed, making people squint their eyes involuntarily, not daring to look directly at its sharp edge, but secretly saying in their hearts: "What a good sword!"

Standing face to face with Si Wudao, the two were only ten feet apart. When their eyes met, Liu Xunyi's face looked a little embarrassed.

"Liu Xunyi, how have you been these days since we last met in Yingchuan?"

Si Wudao was in high spirits as always, and said with a smile as if he was chatting with his family: "I thought that when we met again, you would be grateful for my kind reminder and treat me to a good meal. However, I didn't expect that we would meet again on the sword-discussing stage...each serving his own master."

"Si Wudao, I should thank you." Liu Xunyi said with a wry smile, "Regardless of whether you really protected me in secret for more than ten years, just the reminder you gave me in Yingchuan was enough to benefit me a lot."

"How is it?" Si Wudao asked with interest, "I guess you have discovered Luo Tianjin's true character. He is selfish, mean, and shameless."

Liu Xunyi sighed, "The longer I've been in the martial arts world, the more I've experienced, and the more people I've met. I've gradually discovered that all the heroes who are famous in the martial arts world are extremely cunning and scheming. When necessary, they can do whatever it takes to achieve their goals. Whether they are selfish or mean, if they don't have a heart of stone that no one else can do it, I'm afraid they won't be able to become the overlord of a place."

At this point, Liu Xunyi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and asked, "Let's ask the Holy Lord of Longxiang Mountain, isn't he also selfish, mean, cold-blooded and ruthless?" "Luo Tianjin abandoned you and put you in danger. Don't you hate him at all?"

"Hate!" Liu Xunyi said bluntly, "But at the same time, the Northern Sage King has saved my life time and again. Should I also be grateful for his kindness? The human heart is the most complicated thing in the world. How can there be absolute good and evil? Everything is relative! If there is only hatred in the heart, then everyone in the world is an enemy, and sooner or later you will die of resentment. If there is only gratitude in the heart, then everyone in the world is a benefactor, and sooner or later you will die of shame. Everything is excessive, so there is the saying of 'distinguishing gratitude and resentment'."

"Ha ha……"

Si Wudao laughed out loud and said with emotion: "What you have understood is far more painful and thorough than what I have said. No wonder Luo Tianjin has been lenient with you again and again, he is indeed extraordinary."

"I don't dare to take credit for what I have done, but I am in the world and I have no choice."

"What about today?" Si Wudao asked curiously, "Are you also helpless today?"

"Yes." Liu Xunyi said seriously, "Before we fight, there is something I want to ask you!"

"Please tell me and listen."

"Your Lord's daughter..." Liu Xunyi's expression gradually became a little nervous, and he stammered, "The girl named Yun Jianping... is she..."

"Is it your sister Liu Xunyu?" Si Wudao seemed to see through Liu Xunyi's thoughts, so before he could finish his words, he asked bluntly, "Have you seen her?"

"Yes." At this moment, Liu Xunyi's heart was in his throat, and he said anxiously, "She sneaked into the villa of Prince Xian's mansion last night, and I happened to see her. Can you tell me, is she... really Yun Zhuiyue's daughter?"

"You can't say it! You can't say it! I've already told you that I know nothing about your sister." Si Wudao answered the question irrelevantly, pretending to be profound.

Liu Xunyi frowned, with a hint of impatience in his eyes, and said, "Even if you don't tell me, I will find out for myself!"

"Go ahead!"

Si Wudao straightened his body, waved the Qingshui Zen Staff slowly in front of him a few times, and said jokingly: "Ren Wuya sent you up here not to reminisce about the past with me. Now you are talking and laughing with me in public, aren't you afraid of getting into trouble?"

"Selling out for personal gain, breaking faith, isn't that enough trouble for me?"

Liu Xunyi smiled nonchalantly. Already caught in the whirlpool, the more he struggled, the more painful it would be. It would be better to just go with the flow and go with the flow.

"I still want to advise you that Luo Tianjin is not as simple as you think. Everything he does is for ulterior motives. Even when he joins forces with Ren Wuya, he is plotting against him." Si Wudao said in a mysterious way, "You must be careful."

"The Northern Sage King fell into a series of traps. Everything he did today was out of necessity. How could he have any intentions? What do you want me to be careful about?"

"Be careful not to become Luo Tianjin's scapegoat."

“Thanks for the reminder!” Liu Xunyi pointed his sword at Si Wudao and said thoughtfully, “Since you saved me before, I’ll let you have three moves!”

"Dong Xiao'er and Hu Yanba have already given in many moves. If you give in again, the Tianshan Jade Dragon Palace will be discredited. We didn't have a good fight last time outside Yingchuan, so today is a good time to make up for it." Si Wudao shook his big head, not appreciating Liu Xunyi's courtesy, "See how much progress you have made in the past year or so?"

"No more, no less, just enough to deal with you!"

"Whether your martial arts skills have improved or not is not the point, but your tone is getting louder and louder. Watch out!"

Before he finished speaking, Si Wudao lightly kicked the Qingshui Zen Staff with his right foot. The huge Zen Staff immediately flew up horizontally, creating a ripple of energy in the air, and rushed straight towards Liu Xunyi.

"Well done!"

Liu Xunyi shouted loudly, paused, and soared into the sky.

He flipped several times in the air, nimbly avoiding the impact of the ripples of energy. At the same time, he pointed the Wuji Sword forward, kicked his feet toward the sky, and turned his head upside down, with the tip of the sword pointing straight down, piercing Si Wudao's crown.

"Keng!"

Si Wudao reacted extremely quickly. He took a bow step, tilted his upper body to the right, and at the same time raised the Qingshui Zen Staff towards the sky with both hands. With a dull sound of breaking through the air, he made a move like a blue dragon coming out of a cave, and the Zen Staff broke through the sky. The incomparably sharp crescent shovel and the lightning-fast sword tip confronted each other head-on, and immediately there was an earth-shaking noise, and a string of dazzling sparks burst out at the same time.

One sky, one earth, one up, one down, one stick, one sword, one attack, one defense.

Liu Xunyi and Si Wudao fought fiercely, using strange moves one after another and facing danger all the time. The two fought until the sky was dark and the sun and moon lost their light.

This battle gradually broke the dull atmosphere on the top of Mount Huashan, attracting cheers and applause from the people watching the battle around.
