Volume 2, Chapter 140: The Other Side of the Sword.
After the ministers left, the saints stayed.
Chao Feng held a banquet in the Yangxin Palace and everyone moved in.
While eating, I discussed this with you all.
Ye Tingmu did not make the bold statements he had just made in front of the saints.
He also expressed his concerns.
"You are all the leaders of your own sects. To be honest, the outcome of this battle is still unknown."
Chao Xiao lowered his eyebrows.
"Why don't you just do as I say? As long as the two of us work together, plus your Beast God Guard, we can take the first step and make the other side afraid to act rashly."
Li Bai sat upright.
He said, "In the past, there were forty saints in Canghai. In the battle of Zhulu, sixteen of them fell in Zhulu City. My three sects killed four more of them. Half of the saints are gone, leaving only twenty. How about we attack Canghai first?"
The others nodded.
“I think it’s not impossible. There’s no need to wait for the cold winter to pass. Why not set off now?” said the ancestor of Piaomiao Sect.
Although he looks like a fairy and should be calm, his personality is also quick-tempered.
Ye Tingmu stroked his chin and said, "To be honest, everyone, I have been trying to understand the sword recently. If I can figure it out, I am confident that I can fight them head-on."
Li Changshou muttered softly.
"Sword King, I'm not trying to dissuade you. The top saints of the seven divine kingdoms are no joke. The ancestors of each country are all people who have lived for 2,000 years and have extraordinary means. Take Canghai Kong of Canghai for example, his strength is probably even greater than that of the Thunder Sword Immortal Dongfang Shuo back then."
"What Li Tianshi said is correct. The four great ancestors of the Wu clan and the demons and monsters should not be underestimated. In their hands, let alone whether we can win, even escaping is hard to say."
Everyone was talking at once, analyzing the current battle situation as well as the other side's relatively powerful saints.
After all, the Seven Gods Kingdom has been standing on the top of the East China Sea for so long, so there must be a few immortal guys in it.
People say that a thousand-year-old turtle lives for a thousand years, and a tortoise lives for ten thousand years. The natural strength of these saints who have lived for a long time should not be underestimated.
Time always flies when we talk.
Chao Xiao meant to gather the whole country's strength and take the initiative to attack.
Harassing everywhere.
Ye Tingmu felt that this was not appropriate.
After all, if we do this, many people will die.
Other countries have more deaths but nothing serious happens.
I am afraid that the six sects will also wither and decline because of this war.
Especially Tiandaoyuan and Tingchao Pavilion, they suffered heavy losses in the previous battle.
But Chao Xiao is the commander-in-chief of the army after all.
As the person in charge of military power, Ye Tingmu did not want to interfere too much.
He just said that he would fight the opponent head-on at that time.
Regardless of winning or losing, we can execute other plans when the time comes.
Chao Xiao did not refuse.
However, he would take his men with him and set off soon to lurk in the capitals of various countries.
By then their saints will go out to fight.
If Ye Tingmu loses, he will stop the killing by killing.
Everyone expressed no objection to this conclusion.
Thus, the battle plan was hastily finalized.
The strength of the two sides is too different.
This was a fight of their lives, and they didn't have much choice.
Naturally, there is not much entanglement.
We can only prepare for the worst.
During the meal, Ye Tingmu and Li Bai had a brief chat, expressing their gratitude for the help he had provided that day.
You wouldn't know if you didn't ask. Once you asked, you found out that Chao Feng had a deep connection with Patriarch Qinglian, and it was actually Chao Feng who took action that day.
This was indeed something Ye Tingmu had not expected.
All I can say is that everything was already destined.
Chao Feng asked the Qinglian Patriarch for help and then saved Ye Tingmu.
Ye Tingmu survived and the throne was given to Chao Feng.
This is what is called the cycle of cause and effect.
After the banquet, several people walked down along Tianzi Peak.
Ye Tingmu traveled with Li Bai.
He asked, "Senior, I have something to ask of you?"
Upon hearing this, Li Taibai replied calmly, "My friend, are you asking about the Green Lotus Sword Technique?"
There is really no need to beat around the bush when talking to a saint, because they are all smart people.
Ye Tingmu spoke frankly.
"Since you have guessed it, I will just tell you straight away."
"Sword King, you can say whatever you want."
He cleared his throat.
Tell the story slowly and clearly.
"Everyone knows that half of the swordsmen in Jiuzhou come from Qingshan. Taibai is the most respected swordsman in Qingshan. Ordinary people who practice Qinglian swordsmanship can only use six swords, which is considered a great talent. However, the senior can use all nine swords, surpassing all the heroes."
"I am also learning swordsmanship. I am fascinated by the swordsmanship you demonstrated the other day. I wonder if you can give me some pointers."
Li Bai stopped.
He turned his head and looked at Ye Tingmu.
He asked seriously, "Do you want to learn sword skills from me?"
"That's right, but not now, but when we return triumphantly."
He really wanted to learn the Nine Swords of the Green Lotus Sword Song.
But it's not for the battle at hand.
But it is the battle to ascend to heaven 1,000 years later.
It is always better to have many skills.
I can't just use the Thirteen Swords of Heaven and Earth back and forth.
This makes it seem like you don't have any cards at all.
"Oh...Sword King is so sure that he can win this battle."
Upon hearing this, Ye Tingmu's mouth curled up slightly.
"Senior, my ambition is to be in heaven, not on earth. I am already invincible in the human world, so I will naturally win. It's just a matter of how I win."
Li Bai didn't say anything else.
Instead, he put his hands behind his back and looked up at the sky, where the rising sun and the winter wind were.
The reflected earth is pure white.
"Everyone says that swordsmen roam the world, but no one knows where the other side of the sword path lies. However, I don't think so. A swordsman should be fearless and undefeated in his heart. When the sword strikes, victory is achieved. If one is invincible in the world, then he will ascend to heaven and kill immortals. It seems that the sword path in the Sword King's mind is somewhat similar to mine."
Having said this, he paused, then chuckled, shook his head slightly, and then continued speaking with a slightly higher tone.
"But Qinglian has the aspirations of a hero. Don't say there are no sword masters in the mortal world. I have spent my life recklessly enjoying the rest of my life, half of my heart and gallbladder have been cut open to the sword. If you can win this battle, I promise that I will pass on all the nine swords of Qinglian to you."
Ye Tingmu raised his eyebrows.
"Senior, take this seriously."
Li Bai raised his head and laughed. "Hahaha..."
Then he said proudly: "A swordsman's promise is worth a thousand gold."
Then he turned around and looked at Ye Tingmu.
There was a hint of brightness at the corner of her mouth.
"But there is one condition..."
"Senior, speak frankly."
"You have to worship me as your master, then I can teach you."
"Can."
If you steal someone else's sword, you should worship him as your teacher.
Chao Xiao always walked behind.
His brows were tightly locked, and there was worry and curiosity in his eyes.
What I am worried about is the disaster that Jiuzhou will face next, and what I am curious about is why Ye Tingmu can still smile in such a situation.
Could it be that he really has some hidden tricks?
Chao Feng came to his side at some point.
"Brother, what are you thinking about?"
Chao Xiao came back to his senses and bowed to Chao Feng.
"Your Majesty, I have no thoughts."
"I share the same concerns as my royal brother, but now I can only place my hopes on the Sword King."
Chao Xiao did not refute, but nodded.
Chao Feng asked again, "I heard that my brother has fallen in love with a girl recently. Is it true?"
"That's just other people's nonsense."
"Haha, my royal brother, there's no need to be shy. If you can't open your mouth, just come to me. I'll grant you a marriage..."
