The immortal sect is lofty, but the dynasty is collapsing. The court is treacherous, and the martial world is perilous. In these troubled times, human lives are no more valuable than grass.
C...
"Li... Alliance Leader, is there nothing more for me to do?"
"Wait, Lord Tuoba, there's something else I need to confirm with you!"
"You...you say it!"
Facing Li Fan directly, Tuoba Ye felt a chill run down his spine.
The person in front of me is truly ruthless.
This applies not only to others, but also to oneself.
Li Fan clearly had a backup plan, but he managed to hold back from using it.
Even though he was beaten so badly by the Overlord of Chu, he endured it.
Once the powerful figure hidden in the shadows makes his move, they will wipe everyone out in one fell swoop.
"What exactly are Ling Aotian and his men plotting?"
"Li... Alliance Leader, please, please spare me."
I have no relation to Ling Aotian.
He approached me himself, but I don't know what he wanted to do.
I swear, I've never done anything to you!
Upon hearing Ling Aotian's name, Tuoba Ye completely panicked.
He didn't know how Li Fan knew, but he didn't want to die.
Seeing Tuoba Ye's bewildered and incoherent ramblings, Li Fan was speechless.
He has a father who has achieved the tenth level of Dharma attainment.
He himself is also a tenth-grade Dharma Image Martial Artist.
There are reasons why they are still not respected.
Li Fan stared at Tuoba Ye, his eyes calm as still water.
He didn't speak, but the pressure he put on Tuoba Ye grew stronger and stronger.
"Alliance Leader Li, I know where Ling Aotian is hiding. I'll take you there!"
"No need, they've already left."
They won't be going back to the houses near the Zhenwu Division!
Li Fan shook his head and continued, "Lord Tuoba, you know the current situation. I need your attitude."
At this moment, Tuoba Ye also realized what was happening.
So-called attitude means taking sides.
Choosing sides requires a pledge of loyalty.
If he can't produce it, he'll be the first to die.
"The Heavenly Gu Sect, the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect, the Cloth-Cloth Pavilion, and the Yangtze River Gang were dissatisfied with the Prince's sealing of the gambling dens under their control, and they launched an attack to kill the Prince."
The prince led his men in a desperate resistance, but unfortunately died for his country.
"All soldiers, heed my command! Annihilate the Heavenly Gu Sect and the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect!"
As he spoke, Tuoba Ye appeared like a ghost.
On the drill ground, soldiers who witnessed the battle fell like harvested wheat.
Soon, all the witnesses were killed.
Li Fan and his companions also disappeared in the ruins of the training ground.
......
The Heavenly Gu Sect's battle cries shook the heavens.
The mountains and forests shrouded in miasma were ignited by a rain of fiery arrows.
A blade of light descended from the sky.
Long Daoji's blade sliced through one palace after another.
One by one, the martial artists were killed on the spot.
The guardian deities fought back, but all their efforts were in vain.
The situation of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect is exactly the same as that of the Heavenly Gu Sect.
With Li Feitian in charge, the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect can't cause any trouble at all.
......
"Kuang Yutian, the battle over there is over."
"Have you considered fighting Li Fan?"
In the inn, bored out of his mind, Zhou Tianxiong started stirring up trouble again.
"Your uncle was beaten to death, why didn't you do anything about it?"
Kuang Yutian replied expressionlessly.
He is a martial arts fanatic.
It's not dementia.
To take on the challenge at this time would be like adding fuel to the fire.
Putting aside whether he could win or not, what if Li Fan didn't have any martial ethics and let Long Daoji kill him? How wrong would that be?
Moreover, even if he were to challenge someone, he would challenge Li Fan at his peak.
Although I didn't watch the entire battle at the training ground, I can imagine how intense it was.
Although Li Fan won, it was probably a Pyrrhic victory.
He wasn't that despicable to challenge the injured Li Fan.
"My uncle was killed by my father, so why should I avenge him?"
Zhou Tianxiong replied nonchalantly.
Being a member of the royal family, he was already used to these things.
Let alone his uncle, even if his own father died in front of him, he would at most shed a few tears.
As for revenge, that naturally depends on whether one has the strength.
If you lack the ability, then you should just stay put.
If we have the power, we'll scatter the ashes of our enemies.
If all else fails, wait until your enemy dies of old age before you dig up his grave.
In short, as long as people are alive, there will always be a way.
"Zhou Tianxiong, you have truly brought honor to the Great Zhou royal family!"
Ye Baiyun glanced at Zhou Tianxiong.
To everyone's surprise, Zhou Tianxiong was not angry at all, but instead said smugly, "Of course, I am the Martial King of the Great Zhou!"
Seeing Zhou Tianxiong's shamelessness, Ye Baiyun stopped talking.
......
Meanwhile, at the Zhenyun Prince's Mansion, all was peaceful and serene.
Under Tuoba Ye's guidance, Li Fan met Princess Zhenyun.
Because of her excellent maintenance, Princess Zhenyun looks to be only in her early thirties.
When she heard the news of Zhou Wucheng's death, she was calmer than she had imagined.
"Alliance Leader Li, I'll leave the matter of avenging the Prince to you two."
As a woman, I have no desire to participate in these battles.
If there is any need for cooperation in the future, I will fully support you.
"condition?"
"Once this matter is settled, let us return to Tiandu!"
"Can!"
With the support of Princess Zhenyun, the situation in Tianyun City quickly stabilized.
With this stable situation, Li Fan began to go into seclusion.
There are eleven Dharma images, three of which are complete tenth-grade Dharma images.
The power of qi and blood contained within it is terrifying.
......
"Resolved!"
"Gentlemen, it's time for us to take possession of the spoils of war!"
At the border between Yunzhou and Haizhou, the leaders of the Southern Alliance, headed by Yan Mingshu, gathered.
Upon receiving the message, all major factions mobilized their forces.
Under the suppression of powerful forces from all sides, the situation in various counties and prefectures of Yunzhou was quickly brought under control.
......
Haizhou, an unnamed island.
A figure came stepping across the sea.
As Jun Buyu stepped onto the island, Chen Kui, who had been in seclusion in the cave, suddenly opened his eyes.
The next instant, he disappeared into the cave.
......
"Chen Kui, you really are alive. It seems my calculations were correct."
Upon seeing Chen Kui, Jun Buyu's lips curled into a slight smile.
"If you're here to spout this nonsense, you can get lost after you're done. Don't keep me from my seclusion!"
Chen Kui glanced at Jun Buyu and said irritably.
"Chen Kui, how dare you speak to me like that?"
Jun Buyu frowned, and the smile on his face disappeared.
Thunderclouds filled the sky.
"If you keep playing tricks on me, I'll twist your head off!"
"Hahaha! Brother Chen, just kidding, just kidding!"
"Speak your mind!"
"I have a message for you, please do me a favor!"
Jun Buyu straightened his face and looked at Chen Kui seriously.
"Tell me the news first!"
Chen Kui looked at Jun Buyu and said.
"Zhou Zhenxiong secretly supported the establishment of the Martial Arts Alliance. I suspect it may be related to the fate of the Great Zhou Dynasty!"
After Jun Buyu finished speaking, Chen Kui was slightly taken aback.
The fate of the nation!
Hearing those two words again filled him with incredibly mixed feelings.
The reason why the emperor cultivated the "Secret Records of the Son of Heaven" was to bind himself to the fate of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
The stronger the nation's fortunes, the stronger he becomes.
That is why he was killed by the Ziyang Immortal Sect.
The Ziyang Immortal Sect does not wish to see an incomparably powerful Great Zhou.
They also could not tolerate an incomparably powerful Zhou emperor.
Unexpectedly, Zhou Zhenxiong also embarked on this path.
What do you want me to do for you?
"Come with me to the Three Immortals Sect to retrieve something!"
"In my current state, I only have the strength for one strike!"
"Enough!"
"OK!"
