Chapter 1732: Chapter 1731: Li Nanzhi’s Arrival

Lin Dong bought the ’Phoenix Crown and Cloud Cape’ and then received a phone call.

"I have arrived in the Capital City."

After the phone rang, the voice inside spoke up.

Lin Dong’s face lit up with joy upon hearing this voice.

It was a call from Li Nanzhi, the second in the Dragon Rankings from the Western Secret Sect.

This time, Lin Dong had entrusted her with a task.

"Where are you now? I’ll come to find you," Lin Dong asked.

"I am at Xiang Mountain," Li Nanzhi replied.

"Alright, I will come to find you immediately." After hanging up the phone, Lin Dong headed for Xiang Mountain.

At the moment at Xiang Mountain, a woman dressed in white, holding a string of prayer beads, stood under the Xiang Mountain Glass Tower.

Many people were attracted by her otherworldly demeanor and turned to look at her.

Women were astonished by her beauty when they saw her.

And men, seduced by the aura she exuded, felt a reverence, as if it would be sacrilegious to desecrate her.

Originally, quite a few youths wanted to approach and greet her.

But they were all deterred by her ethereal presence, not daring to move forward.

In front of her, it was like facing a Bodhisattva.

Who would dare entertain lustful thoughts towards a Bodhisattva?

This ethereal woman in white was naturally Li Nanzhi who had come from the Western Regions to the Capital City.

She was currently waiting here for Lin Dong, her mood was also quite complex. She had wanted to request her master to come out of seclusion to save Lin Dong.

But her master had refused this request.

Regarding Lin Dong’s upcoming battle with King Kunlun, she did not believe Lin Dong could win.

"Perhaps coming to the Capital City this time is to bid you farewell forever," Li Nanzhi murmured.

Just at this time, Lin Dong arrived in front of Xiang Mountain Glass Tower, and Li Nanzhi also turned to look at him.

"You have arrived." Seeing Lin Dong again, Li Nanzhi gave him a slight smile.

Lin Dong nodded: "Let us have a talk inside the Glass Tower."

Li Nanzhi nodded slightly, as there were still some people around.

After entering the Glass Tower, the two found a secluded place and they talked while enjoying the beautiful scenery of Xiang Mountain.

"It’s been a while since we last met, and to think you have already made a breakthrough to Ninth Level Grandmaster’s strength." Li Nanzhi had been staring at Lin Dong and judged his strength.

He had actually reached the level of a Ninth Level Grandmaster!

This rate of progress astounded her.

Lin Dong was also somewhat surprised; he did not expect that Li Nanzhi, a Half-Step Earth Realm martial artist, could actually see through his strength.

This Li Nanzhi, was indeed very weird. Like Li Zhaixing, one should not underestimate her.

Lin Dong was about to speak, however, Li Nanzhi spoke first: "But even if you have broken through to the strength of a Ninth Level Grandmaster, you won’t be King Kunlun’s match."

"Under the same level of strength, it’s rare to find someone who can beat King Kunlun."

"Now, there is still a gap in strength between you and him. Thus, it will be even harder for you to defeat him."

"To overcome a level difference to defeat King Kunlun is no different from a Nine-Segment Grandmaster challenging a Heavenly Realm Martial Artist."

Lin Dong laughingly said, "It seems you are not optimistic about my chances either."

Li Nanzhi said, "Of course, I hope you win. After all, you still owe me three conditions. Not one of these three conditions have you fulfilled for me yet."

Previously, Li Nanzhi had lent the Reincarnation Wheel Needle to Lin Dong, and Lin Dong had agreed to three conditions on her behalf.

The first was to ask Lin Dong to go on a journey to the Western Regions with her to help her with a favor, once he reached the level of a Heavenly Realm Martial Artist.

The second was to combine their Yin and Yang at the right time to unlock the seal on her constitution.

As for the third condition, she had not yet revealed it.

And yet, Lin Dong had not fulfilled any of these three conditions for her.

Lin Dong joked, "I now only have two days left, and it seems that I can only help you fulfill the second condition."

Li Nanzhi gave him a roll of the eyes, "Even now, you’re still joking."

Although the second condition seemed simple, it was actually not easy to accomplish. Because it had a prerequisite: that the ’timing must be ripe’.

And currently, the timing was clearly not ripe. The moment for her to undo her sealed constitution had not yet arrived.

"I originally wanted to ask my mentor to protect you, but my mentor is unwilling to leave retirement," Li Nanzhi said, "I’ll ask you one last time, are you willing to go with me to the Western Regions?"

"Once in our Secret Sect’s territory in the Western Regions, even King Kunlun won’t be able to kill you."

Without any hesitation, Lin Dong shook his head and answered, "I can’t go."

Li Nanzhi sighed. Even before she had asked this question, she already knew what Lin Dong’s answer would be.

If she were in Lin Dong’s shoes, her answer would have been the same as his. People like them, in their pursuit of the Martial Arts Peak, would never shy away like a turtle retreating into its shell.

Moreover, Lin Dong had even more reasons to go than she did.

She had no other concerns in this life, nobody could threaten her.

But Lin Dong did.

Lin Dong was involved in the mundane world, with many people he was concerned about.

If he did not accept the challenge, then King Kunlun would slaughter all those whom Lin Dong cared about.

Therefore, this battle, whether for the sake of following the heart of a martial artist or due to external circumstances, Lin Dong must fight!

Li Nanzhi sighed again, "You mentioned earlier that you wanted to ask me for a favor. What favor?"

"If I die in two days, help me take a person to your Western Secret Sect. Otherwise, I can’t rest assured about her," Lin Dong said after a moment of contemplation.

The person he referred to was none other than Qingye Piaoxue.

As a martial artist from Yinghua Country, Lin Dong couldn’t let her stay in the War Department forever.

Instead, he entrusted Li Nanzhi to bring her to the Western Secret Sect, to have the Secret Sect protect her, which would allow Lin Dong to be more at ease.

Although the War Department had promised to protect his confidante, with Qingye Piaoxue’s identity being what it was, Lin Dong didn’t want to put the War Department in a difficult position.

Upon hearing his request, Li Nanzhi said, "Since we have become acquainted, I will do you this favor!"

"Thank you," Lin Dong said, bowing his hands in gratitude.

Li Nanzhi shook her head and looked off into the distance towards Xiang Mountain, "I hope you don’t die. If you do, this Martial Arts World will lose a lot of its fun."

Lin Dong laughingly said, "I too hope that I can survive."

"It’s getting late, so I will take my leave now. Tomorrow, I will bring that woman to your side," Lin Dong said, bowing his hands.

Li Nanzhi nodded, "Alright. I’ll remain in the Capital City these next few days. After your decisive battle’s outcome is decided, I will then return to the Western Regions."

Lin Dong smiled faintly, then left Xiang Mountain’s Glazed Tower.

Watching his departing figure, Li Nanzhi had a complex expression.

This was the only man who had stirred some worldly feelings in her. Unfortunately, his life was not going to last much longer.

"You said you would help me undo my sealed constitution and rid my body of the Karma Fire. Now it looks like there won’t be an opportunity," Li Nanzhi sighed.

She did not dislike Lin Dong, and in fact harbored some hope of uniting with Lin Dong in Yin and Yang, perhaps even bearing his lineage.

She even thought that if she and Lin Dong had a child together, how extraordinary that child’s lineage would be, considering their powers?

Alas, the timing was still not ripe!

As she watched Lin Dong’s retreating figure, Li Nanzhi softly began to sing a song from the Western Regions:

"Atop that East Mountain,"

"A bright moon rises."

"The visage of Maji Ajiang,"

"Engraved in my heart."

At that moment, the setting sun of Xiang Mountain cast its light over Lin Dong’s figure, leaving a mottled shadow stretching out on the ground.

Li Nanzhi watched that shadow grow longer and longer, further and further... until it disappeared.
