"Dugu Nine Swords?" Xu Qing was slightly surprised.

Master Kuma: "Has Friend Xu heard of it?"

Xu Qing: "I've heard a little, it's said to be the swordsmanship left by the Sword Demon Dugu Qiubai in the past, containing the highest martial arts essence, 'No Move Beats a Move'."

"Indeed, it's precisely 'No Move Beats a Move'," said Master Kuma, then paused: "Friend Xu, have you not heard about Zhang?"

"Junbao? What about him?"

"The moves of Shi Guanyin are extraordinary and rare in this world, but Zhang…" Master Kuma spoke of this matter, a hint of disbelief in his eyes.

"Could it be that Junbao displayed the realm of 'No Move' to fight against Shi Guanyin?"

"Indeed, if Yana hadn't seen it with her own eyes, I wouldn't dare believe it either." Master Kuma mentioned this matter, still slightly incredulous.

Originally, he thought Xu Qing was the more unfathomable one, but unexpectedly, Zhang Junbao's current martial arts cultivation was also unfathomably high.

It's really hard to say who is stronger between him and Xu Qing.

This is also why Master Kuma desires the Dugu Nine Swords so much.

If not, as the Sect Leader of the Huashan Sect, she would undoubtedly be overshadowed by the endless waves of younger talents.

Xu Qing smiled slightly: "Junbao learned little martial arts, apart from Master Jue Yuan, his masters are heaven and earth itself. Each move is naturally formed, truly embodying the realm of 'No Move'."

The realm of No Move itself isn't terrifying, but according to the history he knows, in some years, Junbao will create Tai Chi Fist, which is a truly admirable feat.

Because Tai Chi Fist interprets the martial arts of No Move in a systematic way.

It actually shares a similar remarkable effect with the Dugu Nine Swords.

But the cultivation conditions for the Dugu Nine Swords are evidently more stringent.

Master Kuma nodded, then turned to Xu Qing's companions Yue Nu and Han Tang, asking, "Who are these two?"

"My newly acquired servants, one is Black Impermanence, the other is White Impermanence."

Yue Nu resisted the urge to roll her eyes, while Han Tang remained unmoved.

Master Kuma chuckled: "In the past, the Master of Peach Blossom Island also took some proficient martial thieves as servants. Friend Xu, your act resembles the style of the Master of Peach Blossom Island."

Xu Qing: "Master, you jest. I don't welcome just anyone."

Master Kuma: "Then I misspoke, my apologies."

Xu Qing knew that with Master Kuma's experience, she surely saw that Yue Nu and Han Tang were not proper people. Her words were actually to remind Xu Qing to be careful not to be schemed against by these people.

Their bond wasn't deep, but for Master Kuma to say such a potentially offensive thing, she was repaying Xu Qing's benevolence to the Huashan Sect.

In the worldly society, it's actually not a bad thing to have a friend who tells you unpleasant truths.

After all, in this era, even enemies can smile at you warmly, while secretly wishing to cut you into a thousand pieces.

Xu Qing: "The master considers me a friend, only then says such things; why should I blame you?"

Gao Yana: "Master, Daoist Xu is blessed; he always turns danger into safety. We need not worry about him."

Xu Qing: "Miss Gao, your words sound a bit harsh."

Gao Yana chuckled softly: "Caught in a sandstorm, Daoist Zhang and I suffered greatly, and that Zamuhu's follower Batuo suffered even more."

"What happened to him?"

"He got separated from us, then encountered Shi Guanyin. There's nothing worse for a man than running into Shi Guanyin in this world." Gao Yana said this, even shivering slightly.

"By the way, where's Junbao?"

"On his way here, he met an old acquaintance, so we parted for now."

"What a pity."

"Pity for what?"

"I was thinking of matchmaking you two."

"Daoist Xu, what nonsense are you spouting? Daoist Zhang doesn't fancy me at all." Gao Yana blushed.

Xu Qing's words touched something in Master Kuma's heart.

But she quickly extinguished that thought.

As an experienced member of the worldly society, she naturally saw that the Goddess had feelings, but the King had no dreams.

Matters of the heart can't be forced.

Master Kuma sighed quietly to herself.

In the midst of the conversation, Xu Qing suddenly said, "Master, let's find a higher ground first."

Master Kuma was puzzled by Xu Qing's intention, but knowing that Xu Qing was a rare and exceptional person, she didn't refuse. They reached the edge of the desert ruins, an abandoned city wall; from a distance, they could see endless yellow sand, rolling with smoke and dust.

It was the Mongolian cavalry.

"Why are there so many Mongols here?" Gao Yana's expression was solemn.

Xu Qing: "They are likely here for the ancient city of Juejian."

Master Kuma: "It seems that the treasures of the ancient city of Juejian have alarmed the Mongols. Mongols are greedy by nature, but I wonder how the Twenty-four Solar Terms, who have already entered, will handle it?"

Xu Qing pointed in the direction of the ancient city of Juejian: "Master, didn't you notice, there are many stone peaks around the ancient city of Juejian?"

Master Kuma looked over, surprised: "These stone peaks weren't here before."

Gao Yana was shaken: "These stone peaks seem to come from Shi Guanyin's old lair."

Yue Nu said from the side: "Master, someone should have used these stone peaks to set up the Qimen Eight Diagrams Formation."

Master Kuma slowly spoke: "It is said that in the past, Zhuge Marquis used the Eight Formation Map made of scattered rocks to withstand the 100,000 troops of Eastern Wu, apparently this formation is used to resist the outside world."

Xu Qing: "It seems to be the work of the so-called Twenty-four Solar Terms and Shi Guanyin; what will happen next, we should soon find out."

…

…

Soon Yue Nu brought back the news from the edge of the desert.

The Twenty-four Solar Terms used a Qi Men Formation to block the Mongolian army outside and issued tokens inviting people from the worldly society to participate in an auction inside.
