Chapter 10 Chapter 10 is here! What an exciting scene...
If it is the Purple Frost Buddha Miasma technique, then it is no wonder that the Demon Lord has so many powerful men under his command.
As long as there were enough lives, he could even build an army composed entirely of Linhai Realm warriors. However, the drawbacks of this technique were also obvious. After practicing it, the chances of entering the Xiaoyao Realm became even smaller, so much so that in all these years, only the Demon Lord had reached this realm.
Upon hearing this news, Gu Shiyan immediately decided to go to the manor tonight to investigate. "Danxi, if what happened back then had nothing to do with you, then it's fine. But if it's really because of you, then you better consider how many moves you can withstand from me."
Until Chang Ye said that the government office would re-examine Ji Anran's case at 9:00 PM today. However, everyone knew that this trial would ultimately end in failure. The group of scholars had no substantial evidence to prove that Huai Wang Mu Conghao had murdered them.
But this is no longer important. The Huai King has been oppressing the people, and the people of Jiangnan have suffered from him for a long time. If this matter becomes a big deal, everyone will believe that it was the Huai King who did it. Let's see how he can silence the people of the three counties in Jiangnan.
Mu Congmo took the opportunity to tell Chang Ye about Man Ziling and asked him to send someone to secretly protect Man Ziling so that he could defeat the Huai Wang faction in one fell swoop one day.
After everyone finished their meal, Mu Congmo did not continue to pester Gu Shiyan, but returned to his room to take a nap.
On the other side, Hong Ting untied Gu Shiyan's headband and asked curiously, "Sir, I remember you don't have a headband of this color. Is this one from His Majesty?"
"He must have picked it up when he was tying my hair this morning." Gu Shiyan said nonchalantly.
"Young Master, this Majesty is really considerate and attentive to you. Could it be that he really likes you? You just woke up this morning and might not be very awake. I saw it clearly from outside. He tidied your clothes and put on your shoes and socks. He was more careful than I was." Hong Ting joked.
"Everyone in the world is pursuing profit, let alone the emperor. I wear a mask all day long, and he hasn't even seen my face, but he says he likes me? I don't know how much sincerity and how much calculation are in this love." Gu Shiyan said sarcastically.
That's true. If you have seen the face of your own young master, this statement would be somewhat credible. After all, there is not a single blemish on Gu Shiyan's face, and even the red mole under the corner of his eye looks particularly attractive.
But Hongting was still puzzled. If the emperor had only wanted to win over his son, he wouldn't have had to condescend so much. No wonder his son always told him to read more books. He really didn't understand.
Gu Shiyan continued, "Come with me tonight to check out that manor. If the Demon Lord is really there, we can return to Yunliang Qianchi in just two days. Even if the emperor really has some plans, he can't reach Yunliang Qianchi yet."
Hong Ting was thrilled to hear the decision. He had carried Po Hong from Jizhou to Jiangnan, and now it could finally see the light of day. This was also Gu Shiyan's first battle since his promotion to the Free and Unrestrained Realm. Even if his opponent was the renowned Dan Xi, Hong Ting didn't believe his son would lose.
Hong Ting is a martial arts fanatic. After being picked up by Ji Ruoxi, he has been living in Yunliang Qianchi. It was not until he witnessed Gu Shiyan's competition with the elder that he begged Gu Shiyan to serve as his servant.
It’s a pity that he is the only one who can appreciate the young master’s heroic demeanor tonight.
After a brief moment of joy, Hongting realized that he didn't know the location of the village. Last night, in order to be lazy, he took the initiative to stay behind to protect the group of scholars.
Gu Shiyan was very familiar with Hong Ting. When he saw him rubbing his hands back and forth, he realized that he was guilty.
Gu Shiyan simply tapped the table with his fingers, and Hong Ting was so frightened that he quickly confessed, "I didn't go to that manor last night, so I don't know where it is."
Hong Ting lowered his head, not daring to look at his young master's movements. After waiting for a while, he heard Gu Shiyan chuckle, "Then call Chang Ye along and tell him that I've decided to give him some pointers."
Even though Hong Ting was extremely reluctant, having thought he was the only one who could witness the battle between the two great masters, he now had to bring Chang Ye along. In fact, he had a much better impression of Chang Ye than Yong Zhou, and in this situation, Chang Ye was the only one he could bring along.
After learning about this, Mu Congmo naturally agreed to let Gu Shiyan borrow Chang Ye. He even repeatedly reminded Chang Ye to protect Gu Shiyan's safety and wished he could go with him.
But he knew that his subordinates would never agree to let him go with them. After all, the battle between two Free and Easy Realm masters was not a battle that could be easily stopped.
Mu Congmo had no choice but to stay. Before leaving Changye, he called back Yongzhou from the county magistrate's office to protect the emperor.
As everyone expected, the case against the group of scholars ended in vain due to a lack of evidence. However, Yong Zhou secretly bribed the refugees in the city, and a few pieces of silver were enough to spread the news of this matter to the whole city. Furthermore, their situation was already related to Prince Huai, so if they could finally get hold of something against him, they would naturally work very hard.
Mu Congmo secretly instructed Chang Ye that if there was a chance, he should leave a few of the Demon Lord's men alive so that they could testify in the scholar's case in the future, which would also make the overthrow of King Huai more secure.
It was another rainy night. The three of them, wearing bamboo hats, walked upstream along the river. Raindrops dripped onto Hong Ting and Chang Ye, but before they could get close to Gu Shiyan, they were evaporated by the latter's powerful internal energy.
The three of them were all top-notch martial artists, and were naturally very proficient in light Kung Fu. They soon arrived in front of the manor.
The two people on the side were still wondering how to sneak in, but they saw a burst of internal force burst out from Gu Shiyan's body, directly blasting open the door of the manor. Ignoring the shocked looks of the two people, he then walked in swaggeringly.
Such a big commotion, coupled with Gu Shiyan's unconcealed attitude, naturally alarmed the people inside.
Eight people in black robes walked out. The wide robes and hats covered their figures. The silvery moonlight shone on them, making them look very strange.
But without exception, these people were all powerful warriors of the Seaside Realm, ranging from the first to the ninth level of cultivation. In other places, eight Seaside Realm warriors would be considered an extremely powerful force, but the gap between the Seaside Realm and the Free and Easy Realm was like an insurmountable chasm.
Gu Shiyan stretched out his bony hand into the air, and the rustic wooden box on Hongting's back began to tremble until a long sword broke out of the box.
The scabbard of the long sword is carefully carved from ancient agarwood, and the auspicious cloud pattern is all over the scabbard. The scabbard is also inlaid with several pieces of fine white jade, which emit a faint glow under the moonlight.
The long sword was not unsheathed. Gu Shiyan waved it casually, and a sword energy like a rainbow cut through the surrounding air and flew straight towards the eight people blocking the way.
The eight people's cultivation was forcibly improved by the magic skill of Purple Frost Buddha Miasma, and they had no power to resist Gu Shiyan, a true free and easy realm expert.
Even though everyone tried to stop him the moment Gu Shiyan raised his hand, unfortunately the gap in their cultivation levels could not be made up by numbers.
The sword energy quickly pierced through the defenses they had erected. After a brief resistance, they were quickly succumbing to the force. With the exception of the one with the highest cultivation, the others all spat out blood, the bright red dripping onto their black robes. Exhausted, they collapsed to the ground. Only the black-robed leader remained, stubbornly standing. But he was also struggling. The sword energy forced him back until he slammed heavily against the wall.
Chang Ye saw that the eight Linhai Realm warriors couldn't even withstand a single blow from Gu Shiyan, and only then did he realize the gap between the Linhai Realm and the Xiaoyao Realm. Hong Ting had long anticipated this situation and looked at Gu Shiyan with admiration, feeling proud of it.
Finally, the person inside could no longer hold back. "I wonder where you are from, and why are you here?" The voice was very low, like a ghost from hell demanding his life. Although the voice was low, the murderous intent contained in it was very obvious.
Gu Shiyan didn't know what happened back then, so he just tried to test it out, "My old friend and his companions came from Yunliang a thousand feet to talk about what happened back then."
After he finished speaking, the person inside paused for a moment, as if feeling a little guilty. With the sound of a door opening, a figure walked out. A deep red robe draped over his thin body, combined with the cold moonlight, made him look very creepy.
"Your master was defeated by me back then. What qualifications do you have to challenge me now?" The man said in a sarcastic tone, trying to provoke Gu Shiyan.
However, Chang Ye, who was watching the show at the side, was frightened so much that he quickly covered his ears, fearing that he would hear some secrets of the martial arts world and be silenced by Gu Shiyan.
Gu Shiyan ignored his provocation and simply pulled the sword from its scabbard and casually threw it to Hong Ting. Hong Ting hurriedly ran over to catch it. If Master Ouyang Wenhai knew that such a valuable scabbard was thrown aside by his own son, he would probably say with heartache that it was a waste of talent.
The sword's blade was forged from meteorite iron, and like its scabbard, it was engraved with auspicious cloud patterns, the totem of Yunliang Qianchi. The silver-white blade, illuminated by the moonlight, looked even more awe-inspiring, its murderous aura radiating.
Seeing Gu Shiyan unsheath his sword, Danxi did not dare to be careless and took out a long whip from his sleeve.
The long whip strikes out, and blood returns; hence the name "Drinking Blood." Danxi used this long whip to frighten the so-called reputable and upright jianghu men. Its ferocious reputation is so widespread that it ranks seventh on Fengyu Tower's list of famous weapons.
Although Gu Shiyan's Broken Rainbow was making its debut, the fact that it was forged by master weaponsmith Ouyang Wenhai and made of meteorite iron was enough to demonstrate its extraordinary qualities. From today on, it would undoubtedly be a place in the top ten of the Famous Weapon Rankings.
"Judging from your age, you are probably not yet twenty. Even if you have entered the Free and Easy Realm by chance, what good is it? You should go back and practice for a few more years before going out into the world. Today, I will let you see the gap between us." Danxi knew that since he could enter the Free and Easy Realm, he must have some strength. It couldn't be luck, otherwise there wouldn't be only six Free and Easy Realm masters in the world.
His goal was simply to provoke the opponent. If his opponent was someone with a hot temper and prone to losing their temper, it would be much easier. But now, Gu Shiyan's calm and composure made him feel something was wrong. No matter how much he provoked the opponent, the latter remained indifferent. This kind of opponent was the most terrifying.
