C555 The Predicament of the Luoshui Hall

The Luo Water Hall was located at the largest river in the Nine Prefectures. It was located at the bank of the Luo River, which was also the richest place in the Nine Prefectures, the center of the Shuzhou.

The Spirit Stone Mine field in the Shuzhou was also larger than the other provinces, and the spiritual energy between the heavens and the earth was comparatively denser. Whether it was the cultivation resources or the cultivation environment, the Shuzhou was the best place in the Nine-state Land. Especially the location of the Luo Water Hall, which was located next to the Luo River. It was simply a treasure land of the Nine Prefectures.

Peng Hu Province, which was connected to the southwest of Shuzhou, was much worse. Although Peng Hu Province was vast, there were many mountains, hills, and deserts. The land was barren. The Kunlun Sect, one of the four great First-rate Power in the Nine States, was stationed in the Penghu Province. It was very envious and coveted the rich Shuzhou.

For thousands of years, the Soul Sect had always been above the Heavenly One Hall, Luo Water Hall, Cloud Soaring Pavilion, and Kunlun Sect. And their actions were rampant and vicious, so the four major powers only looked forward to helping. Although there were conflicts between them, they were all against the Soul Sect. The Kunlun Sect coveted the Luo Water Hall, but they were still wary of the Soul Sect. They would only plunder some Spirit Stone Mine products at the border of the Shuzhou, and would not venture deep into the Shuzhou.

However, in the past ten years, the Soul Sect had suddenly become unusually low-profile. They basically did not come out of the Huji State to cause trouble anymore. Slowly, the Kunlun Sect's little tricks became more and more frequent, and their antennae went deeper and deeper into the Shuzhou. More and more conflicts broke out between them and the Luo Water Hall, and the scale was getting bigger and bigger.

Perhaps it was because the prosperous and gentle place where the Luo Water Hall was located had worn down their will to cultivate, but the overall strength of the Luo Water Hall was not as strong as the Kunlun Sect, which was located in a harsh environment. The Kunlun Sect, who had won many battles in the local areas, was getting more and more arrogant. If it wasn't for the fact that they were still a little afraid of the Soul Sect, they would have gone to war with the Luo Water Hall. A full-scale war broke out.

There were more female disciples in the Luo Water Hall. Every year, there would be female disciples who would marry the outstanding disciples of the Cloud Soaring Pavilion. Therefore, the relationship between the Luo Water Hall and the Cloud Soaring Pavilion had always been good. The Luo Water Hall, who had been bullied again and again, was determined to join forces with the Cloud Soaring Pavilion. They would work together to fight against the deterrence of the Kunlun Sect.

Zhong Ying was brought to the Luo Water Hall nine years ago by the Blue Red Jade Elder of the Luo Water Hall. She even took Elder Blue Red Jade as her master. Zhong Ying's arrival had caused a sensation in the Luo Water Hall. A six and a half year old martial master had opened up his Sea of Consciousness. Such peerless talent had been the focus and fostering of the Luo Water Hall. Cultivation. Resources, inner force mantras, martial skills, sword techniques, and so on were all "provided."

Zhong Ying, who was far away from her family, used her painstaking cultivation to relieve the pain of missing her family. The Taiji Fist and Tendon Changing Scripture that Yun Fei taught her were the mandatory subjects that she had to cultivate every day. To Zhong Ying, the Taiji Fist and Tendon Changing Scripture were the best techniques to lay the foundation and assist her in her cultivation. Lan Hongzhu also discovered that these two techniques were extraordinary, so she naturally did not stop her cultivation.

A solid foundation, hard work, careful guidance from her master, and focused training from the Luo Water Hall had allowed Zhong Ying's cultivation to increase at an astonishing speed. She kept breaking the records of her predecessors, breaking through to the Great Martial Master at the age of eight. At the age of ten, she had broken through to the Martial Ancestor, and at the age of thirteen, she had broken through to the Martial Sovereign. Now, she was sixteen years old. He had broken through to the Late Period of Martial Sovereign.

A sixteen year old Late Period of Martial Sovereign was one of a kind in the Nine-state Land. It was also unprecedented. In order to not cause a commotion and to protect Zhong Ying, the Luo Water Hall concealed the fact that Zhong Ying had broken through to the Late Period of Martial Sovereign. However, paper couldn't cover fire, let alone the fact that Zhong Ying had caused a sensation in the Luo Water Hall from the very beginning. She had received the attention of many people, and as she grew older, Zhong Ying had become more and more beautiful. She had practically become the little princess of the Luo Water Hall.

For some reason, the news about Zhong Ying had spread to the Cloud Soaring Pavilion. Her extreme talent, astonishing cultivation, and beautiful face had become the peerless goddess in the hearts of all the young geniuses of the Cloud Soaring Pavilion, and all of them had mixed feelings about her.

However, Luo Water Hall regarded Zhong Ying as the future and hope of Luo Water Hall. Zhong Ying's future achievements could be said to be limitless. In the future, she would definitely become a Peak Expert that stood proudly in the Nine Prefectures. This was without a doubt. Therefore, the Luo Water Hall would not be willing to let her marry out.

Due to the constant aggressive stance of the Kunlun Sect and the gradual shrinking of their territory due to the continuous failures, the Luo Water Hall had no choice but to seek help from the Cloud Soaring Pavilion, who had a good relationship with them. They requested the Cloud Soaring Pavilion's help to fight the Kunlun Sect together.

Ling Zhiyong, the Pavilion Master of the Cloud Soaring Pavilion, personally went to the Luo Water Hall to talk to Qing Yilin, the Hall Master of the Luo Water Hall, face to face. He had agreed to form an alliance with the Luo Water Hall to deal with the Kunlun Sect together, but there was only one condition. It was to marry Zhong Ying to his youngest son, Ling Weihao. Ling Weihao was already thirty years old, and his cultivation base was only at the Martial Sovereign Peak.

Qing Yilin was not only doing this for Zhong Ying, but also for the sake that another Peak Expert would appear in the Luo Water Hall in the future. Therefore, she firmly refused Zhong Ying's marriage from the start. But Ling Zhiyong threatened and enticed her, hinting that if she did not agree, not only would she not help, she would also not help. He would also share a piece of the rich land in Shuzhou with the Kunlun Sect.

Qing Yilin was furious. For the sake of the Luo Water Hall's ten thousand years of foundation, she could only reluctantly agree. She also chose the date of the engagement and announced that the Luo Water Hall had formed an alliance with the Cloud Soaring Pavilion, advancing and retreating together.

When the Kunlun Sect saw this scene, they were afraid that the Luo Water Hall would join forces with the Cloud Soaring Pavilion to attack them, so they retreated from the Shuzhou and no longer attacked the Shuzhou.

When Zhong Ying heard this news, she naturally refused to comply, including Elder Lan Hongzhu, who had long regarded her as her daughter. She also argued strongly against marrying Zhong Ying to the Lingyun School. However, Qing Yilin had already made up her mind and announced to the public that she would marry Qing Yilin to the Cloudsoaring sect. There was no way to change this outcome. The Blue Vermillion Jade still refused the order and even planned to escape with Zhong Ying. After being heavily injured by Qing Yilin, she was imprisoned in the dungeon.

As for Zhong Ying's refusal to comply to her death, Qing Yilin used the orders of the Zhong Family and Lan Hongzhu to threaten her. She claimed that if she did not agree, she would kill Lan Hongzhu and send people to Net Heaven Continent to exterminate the Zhong Family.

With the identity of a Martial Emperor Peak expert and the Luo Water Hall's Hall Master, she used such means to threaten a little girl. Although Qing Yilin felt that this method was somewhat despicable, but in her opinion... For the foundation of the Luo Water Hall, sacrificing a female disciple was not a big deal. Besides, it was just a marriage, not a death sentence. Perhaps it would be a good marriage in the future.

His master was imprisoned. Zhong Ying, who was alone and helpless, was worried about her master's safety. She was worried that the Hall Master would really send someone to kill the entire Zhong Family. Zhong Ying also understood how powerful the Luo Water Hall was to the Zhong Family and to the Liang Country. Even the Profound Heaven Sect where Mr. Yun Fei was located was not a match for them.

Zhong Ying, who had been crying bitterly for several days, felt helpless. For the sake of her master and for the sake of her family in the Net Heaven Continent, she had no choice but to agree to Qing Yilin's request. She would marry the Ling Weihao whom she had never met before, the Ling Weihao who was almost half a year older than her.

The lonely and helpless Zhong Ying missed her loving grandfather and grandmother, and her mother, who loved her dearly. She missed her brother Zhong Xiu, who was a little naughty. She missed Mr. Yun Fei, who was obedient and omnipotent to her. All of a sudden, a wave of hatred arose in her heart towards her master. If it wasn't for the fact that she was brought to the Luo Water Hall... He would still be able to enjoy himself under his grandfather and grandmother. He would also be able to indulge himself in his mother's embrace and act like a spoiled child. He could even let that bad brother carry him shopping. He could also let Mr. Yun Fei bring him along to play and practice martial arts... However, her master's painstaking and meticulous guidance over the years also made Zhong Ying feel grateful in her heart.
