Chapter 299: Daoist Sects and the Wu Wei Sect! Pure Yang Dharma Treasure

Li Miaoyin, this woman is mysterious and unpredictable.

Fang Changle called her proficient in both thunder and fire techniques, having mastered the Northern Emperor's mysterious arts, with an ethereal temperament and a genuine Daoist lineage.

Zhang Fan never expected that while traveling far to the Ten Thousand Great Mountains, he would meet Li Yishan's blind date on the plane.

Rumble...

The roar of the plane pierced the sky, and the change in air pressure brought a slight ringing in his ears.

Zhang Fan held his breath and struggled slightly, and the ear pressure returned to normal; he subconsciously turned to look at Li Miaoyin, who was leaning against the window, overlooking the receding Yujing City.

"Are you looking at the scenery, or are you looking at me?"

Li Miaoyin didn't even turn her head, her soft voice coming through.

Zhang Fan's expression tightened, and he saw Li Miaoyin looking at him, a faint, almost imperceptible smile on her beautiful face.

This woman was always like this, a few words, understated, yet mixed with a flavor that made one's imagination run wild.

"What are you talking about!"

Zhang Fan rolled his eyes and turned his head away.

He always felt this woman was faintly countering him.

"I know a little about Li Yishan's family affairs, and I think your background is not upright," Zhang Fan said solemnly.

"What about their family affairs?"

Li Miaoyin leaned over, looking at Zhang Fan without avoiding his gaze, and said with a smile: "If you put it that way, my background is not upright, then their family isn't clean either."

"You... that's not what I meant," Zhang Fan explained: "I just meant you aren't clean."

"Fine, so you think I'm not clean, huh? How do you know I'm not clean? You ruin someone's reputation just by opening your mouth."

Li Miaoyin's expression turned cold, her arms crossed over her chest, looking as if she were truly angry, and she turned her head to look out the window.

"No... that's not what I meant..."

Zhang Fan curled his lips, explaining somewhat awkwardly.

"If that's not what you meant, then what did you mean?" Li Miaoyin wouldn't let it go.

"I don't know what kind of woman you've been describing me as behind my back."

"Who would I tell?" Zhang Fan asked in a daze.

"Li Yishan, Fang Changle... of course, those fox friends of yours..." Li Miaoyin gritted her teeth.

"I swear I haven't said anything."

"Really?" Li Miaoyin's expression softened slightly, testing him.

"Of course it's true, I..."

Zhang Fan's words came out, but he felt it was inappropriate.

"Why am I explaining myself to you?"

"Alright, I believe you," Li Miaoyin smiled brightly; at this moment, she appeared extremely well-behaved, but within that well-behaved demeanor, there was a hint of cunning.

"Who asked you to believe me?" Zhang Fan's eyes widened, feeling indescribably strange in his heart.

"You say my background is not upright; do you think the Daoist sects' backgrounds are upright? Or is the Wu Wei Sect's background upright?" Li Miaoyin changed the subject, saying suddenly.

"Of course it's..." Zhang Fan's words reached his lips, but he remained silent.

To be honest, he had had intricate connections with both the Daoist sects and the Wu Wei Sect his whole life.

His family was the Long Hu Mountain Zhang family, one of the ten great Daoist mountains in the world, but his mother was the previous generation's Xiao of the Wu Wei Sect.

Even he himself now had connections with the Wu Wei Sect that were impossible to cut.

"Five hundred years ago, a brilliant expert appeared in the Daoist sects, named Liu Bai Yi," Li Miaoyin said suddenly.

"He became the head of Mount Sanqing at fifty."

"Mount Sanqing."

That was one of the ten great famous Daoist mountains.

"But who could have imagined that behind the scenes, he was also the Lord of the Wu Wei Sect's Jianggong!?"

"Hmm?" Zhang Fan was stunned.

He knew that the infiltration between the Daoist sects and the Wu Wei Sect was severe, but for the head of the Sanqing sect to become the Lord of Jianggong was unimaginable, and the blow to the Daoist sects was unprecedented.

"Three hundred years ago, the deputy head of Mount Laojun secretly joined the Wu Wei Sect, becoming the Zi Rat among the Thirteen Zodiacs."

Li Miaoyin was knowledgeable, and when talking about the past of the Daoist sects and the stories of the Wu Wei Sect, she was articulate.

Long Hu Mountain, Mount Zhenwu, Mount Zhongnan, Mount Kongdong, Mount Laojun, Mount Sanqing, Mount Qingcheng, Mount Qiyun, Maoshan, Mount Laoshan...

These were the ten great famous Daoist mountains.

For thousands of years, the struggle between the Daoist sects and the Wu Wei Sect had never ceased, but there had never been a clear boundary between them; they infiltrated each other, and in the end, they were intertwined, just like the chaos of heaven and earth, the rotation of yin and yang.

"The Daoist sects emphasize knowing white while guarding black; this world has never been just black and white."

Li Miaoyin paused slightly, turned back to look at Zhang Fan, a meaningful smile on her beautiful face, her eyes like a beam of sunlight shining on Zhang Fan's face.

"Do you say I'm black or white?"

"I can't win an argument with you."

Zhang Fan rolled his eyes, leaned back in his chair, and closed his eyes to rest.

"What are you going to Guixi Province for this time?"

The trees want to be still but the wind won't stop; a faint fragrance wafted over from beside him, and Zhang Fan opened his eyes to see Li Miaoyin leaning over, curiosity hidden in her bright pupils.

"That's none of your business," Zhang Fan said vigilantly.

"That's not necessarily true; you're unfamiliar with the place, and it would be inconvenient if you really had things to do," Li Miaoyin chuckled: "I can help you."

"I have some connections there."

Hearing this, Zhang Fan still shook his head: "I'm not familiar with you."

"Treating kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs, huh? I'm doing this for Li Yishan's family's sake; you don't trust me, but you don't trust his family?" Li Miaoyin said unhappily.

"This..."

Zhang Fan was thoughtful; although he didn't know Li Miaoyin's background, he thought that since she was a blind date introduced to Li Yishan, she should be reliable.

Most importantly, Zhang Fan was unfamiliar with the place, and it would indeed be inconvenient; he was going to save someone, so he didn't need to be impulsive.

"Actually, I don't have any major matters, and I might not need to trouble you," Zhang Fan's tone softened.

"We'll see when the time comes; I have nothing to do anyway," Li Miaoyin said softly.

"What about Yishan..."

Li Miaoyin was Li Yishan's blind date after all, and Zhang Fan had privately received a favor from her, so it was necessary to tell his good brother.

"Don't worry, this is a secret between the two of us, I won't let him know," Li Miaoyin whispered.

"What kind of mess is this?" Zhang Fan was stunned, his expression becoming incredibly strange.

"Why does it sound so awkward?"

As she spoke, Zhang Fan turned to look, and Li Miaoyin's eyes were slightly closed, as if she had fallen asleep, her long eyelashes fluttering.

Two hours later, the plane landed at Jingjiang International Airport.

Jingjiang City is the provincial capital of Guixi Province; although not as developed as Yujing City, the local customs and practices have a unique flavor.

"Follow me."

After getting off the plane, Li Miaoyin took Zhang Fan directly out of the airport, where a private car was already waiting.

"You arranged everything?"

"If I don't take good care of you, you'll go back and talk nonsense about me to those fox friends of yours again," Li Miaoyin seemed not to have forgotten Zhang Fan's slip of the tongue on the plane.

"What do you mean 'again'?" Zhang Fan curled his lips.

He found that in front of this woman, his verbal attack power had almost dropped to the level of a level-five scumbag.

Half an hour later, the two appeared at the Shanshui Resort Hotel.

"Sit here and wait a while, we can go up once the room is cleared."

Li Miaoyin had already booked the room, but it was still early, and the room hadn't been cleaned yet.

Zhang Fan dragged his suitcase and sat in the hotel lobby.

"Such a big hotel, but there aren't many people."

Zhang Fan looked at the sparse tourists at the front desk and said casually.

"It's the off-season for tourism now, wait until..."

Before Li Miaoyin could finish, she saw Zhang Fan's expression change, his eyes dodging, and he even moved behind Li Miaoyin.

"What are you doing?"

"Met an acquaintance," Zhang Fan said in a low voice.

At this moment, Li Miaoyin looked in the direction Zhang Fan had just been staring at and saw a woman at the hotel front desk handling procedures; she had waist-length hair, a bright appearance, and a graceful figure, especially her proportions, which were extremely hot.

"An acquaintance? Not an ordinary acquaintance, right? An ex-girlfriend?" Li Miaoyin's gaze narrowed slightly, saying lightly.

"You're smart," Zhang Fan said in a low voice.

He never dreamed he would meet Xu Zhixia, his ex-girlfriend from college, here.

In fact, when they were in Yujing City, they had met once; it was then, because of the Zhang family's old house, that Zhang Fan learned Xu Zhixia was from the 【Shangjing Xu Family】, which was a true 【Pure Yang Family】; the ancestor of the Xu family was the famous 【Xu Xun】, the Celestial Master, and also the founder of the Daoist Jingming sect.

After that, they had no further contact, and Zhang Fan thought he wouldn't meet her again in this lifetime.

"An ex-girlfriend is just an ex-girlfriend, what are you panicking about?" Li Miaoyin said lightly.

"Isn't it awkward to meet?" Zhang Fan rolled his eyes.

"Would it be awkward?"

Li Miaoyin paused slightly, then suddenly raised her hand and shouted loudly: "Zhang Fan, I'm here."

"Damn, what are you doing?"

Li Miaoyin's voice echoed in the hotel lobby; just then, Xu Zhixia, who was checking in, turned around and saw Zhang Fan.

"Damn..."

Li Miaoyin's move was truly unexpected; before Zhang Fan could react, Xu Zhixia had already walked over.

"Zhang Fan, what a coincidence, we meet again."

"Haha, it really is a bit of a coincidence..." Zhang Fan laughed dryly.

Xu Zhixia looked at Zhang Fan, revealing a smile of reunion, but her gaze kept wandering toward Li Miaoyin.

Perhaps this was a woman's instinct.

"This is..."

"I'm his girlfriend," Li Miaoyin naturally took Zhang Fan's arm.

"Girlfriend?" Xu Zhixia was stunned for a moment, the radiance on her face receding by three parts as she turned to look at Li Zhang Fan, as if asking for confirmation.

"Girlfriend?" Zhang Fan was stunned.

"'Baby' is what we call each other when we're alone; be serious in front of people," Li Miaoyin leaned toward Zhang Fan, lowering her voice, but just enough for Xu Zhixia to hear.

"Zhang Fan, you have a girlfriend? I thought you really wouldn't find anyone else for the rest of your life." Xu Zhixia squeezed out a smile.

"Huh? Did I say that?" Zhang Fan was stunned.

One must know, when people are heartbroken, what they say and do is completely involuntary; it's the work of the consciousness, the work of emotions, and not the real self at all.

"Don't you know whether you said it or not?" Li Miaoyin looked at Zhang Fan with a smile and pinched his waist hard.

"Damn..." Zhang Fan felt a sharp pain.

Xu Zhixia watched them flirting and couldn't help but say: "Then let's talk later, I have things to do."

As she spoke, without waiting for Zhang Fan to react, Xu Zhixia turned and left.

Zhang Fan watched Xu Zhixia's receding back and pulled away from Li Miaoyin.

"What are you doing?"

"Helping you, huh? The best way to regain face in front of an ex-girlfriend is to find a girlfriend better than her," Li Miaoyin said naturally.

"Don't you think I'm better than her?"

"..."

"You're really boring," Zhang Fan rolled his eyes and subconsciously looked at Xu Zhixia.

"Actually, she was quite good to me, it's just that her family was too special, which is why we broke up back then."

The Xu family was a Pure Yang family; dating was one thing, but the Xu family would absolutely never allow her to marry an ordinary person, and Zhang Fan back then was just an ordinary person among ordinary people.

"Then you can go back and find her now, relive the old dream."

"It's fine as it is now, why go back?" Zhang Fan said lightly.

"The Xu family's rules are just big," Li Miaoyin said casually.

"Hmm? You know her background?"

"The Xu family is a Pure Yang family; I saw your ex-girlfriend at a cocktail party in Shangjing before," Li Miaoyin said softly.

"Their ancestors produced Pure Yang level experts, and they have great influence in the Daoist sects."

Pure Yang families, although they don't occupy famous mountains or blessed lands, their prestige and strength are no less than the ten great Daoist mountains; the most critical reason is not just that their ancestors produced Pure Yang level experts and possessed powerful inheritance and foundation, but also because every Pure Yang family almost has Pure Yang Dharma treasures passed down to their descendants.

Those are true great killing weapons.

"The Xu family's Pure Yang Dharma treasure is the Dragon-Slaying Sword left by Ancestor Xu!" Li Miaoyin said solemnly.

Ancestor Xu was famous throughout the world for slaying dragons and controlling water disasters, and his merits were passed down through the ages, respected by later generations.

That 【Dragon-Slaying Sword】 had been stained with the blood of countless dragons, and after long years of refinement by the mysterious gate, it finally became a Pure Yang Dharma treasure.

"I heard that the 【Dragon-Slaying Sword】 is just a rusty lump of iron, and no one in the Xu family has been able to drive this treasure for so many years."

"How could it be a lump of iron?" Zhang Fan asked curiously.

"Divine objects hide themselves," Li Miaoyin said softly.

"The more precious an object is, the more ordinary it appears; the Great Dao is simple, returning to the truth; ordinary people know this principle, let alone a Pure Yang Dharma treasure," Li Miaoyin said lightly.

"Besides, if there is no fated person to drive the treasure, it naturally won't reveal its divine wonders, preferring to be covered in dust and self-defiled."

Speaking of this, Li Miaoyin looked at Zhang Fan.

"I heard from Li Yishan that you became a Daoist priest on Mount Zhenwu?"

"So what?"

"Mount Zhenwu's Pure Yang Dharma treasure, I wonder if you've seen it?" Li Miaoyin asked.

"How could I have seen Mount Zhenwu's Pure Yang Dharma treasure?" Zhang Fan shook his head.

He said he was a Mount Zhenwu disciple, but at best he was an external member; let alone seeing it, he hadn't even heard of it.

"My mistake for asking," Li Miaoyin chuckled.

"Wait, what is Mount Zhenwu's Pure Yang Dharma treasure? Have you heard of it?"

"Of course I've heard of it, the famous..." Li Miaoyin's red lips parted slightly, spitting out four words.

"Zhenwu Jade Tablet!"
