Buzz!
Just as Fang Benqi and the other two were about to escape, a black barrier suddenly rose up out of nowhere, blocking the only exit of the palace.
The three of them immediately struck out with all their strength. With a "crack", the surface of the barrier vibrated and cracks appeared, but it did not completely shatter.
With this pause in his palm, the last chance to escape slipped away quietly.
Xiang Sheng's sword flashed under his feet, and he appeared in front of the forbidden barrier. He looked up at Fang Benqi and the other two and smiled slightly:
"Since you three are here, why are you in such a hurry to leave?"
She smiled gently, but in the eyes of the three people, she looked like a devil.
"Yue Sheng!"
Fang Benqi looked stern but was actually weak inside. "We admit defeat in today's matter. You are powerful, but no matter how powerful you are, can you be more powerful than the Shangguan family?
If you don’t want to be hunted down by the Shangguan clan, let us go as soon as possible…”
Swish!
A sword light like a silver thread suddenly crossed the void and passed through Fang Ben's neck.
Fang Benqi's voice suddenly stopped.
He opened his mouth, wondering why he couldn't say anything, but when he turned around, he met Deng Jiang's horrified gaze.
He immediately realized that something was wrong and raised his hand to touch his throat. However, just as he raised his hand, his vision suddenly reversed.
"What... happened?"
In the last moment of his consciousness, Fang Benqi saw his headless body and became more and more shocked.
Am I dead?!
When did Yuesheng take action?
Rumble...
From within the headless corpse's body, a sound of a collapsing avenue was heard. The body decayed along with it, quickly turning into ashes and scattering in all directions.
Deng Jiang and Ling Cheng, who witnessed the whole process, felt cold all over and remained silent.
A Golden Immortal who has mastered the complete Great Dao cannot die easily.
But in the hands of the sword master, he couldn't withstand even one move.
The Sword Immortal, as the legend says, is indeed the most terrifying immortal in the starry sky.
No wonder everyone pursues the path of sword immortal, but also wants to destroy the sword immortal inheritance!
The sword intent between Xiang Sheng's fingers dissipated, and his eyes turned to look at Deng Jiang and the others.
Deng Jiang and the other two felt their knees weaken as they knelt down and begged for mercy: "I am willing to lead the Third (Fourth) Battalion and obey the orders of the Yue Battalion. I beg Commander Yue to show mercy and spare my life!"
They had been in the position of leader for a long time and had not been so humble for a long time, but there was nothing to hesitate about.
Compared to life, what does dignity mean? Are we going to follow Fang Benqi's example and die for the sake of face?
Wang Tu was in a daze when he saw this, and finally he understood the whole story. After being shocked, he simply walked over to Deng Jiang and knelt down.
"I am also willing to lead the five battalions and obey Commander Yue's orders!"
Unlike Deng Jiang and the others who were forced to do so, he really wanted to switch to Yueying and deal with Shangguan Qian.
It would have been bad enough if Shangguan Qian forced him to attack Yue Sheng, but he also plotted against him. How could he not hate him?
Besides, Shangguan Ning has Yue Sheng on his side, and he is no longer a Wuxia A'mon. In addition, Deng Jiang and Ling Cheng have defected to his side, so his chances of winning are more than 30%.
So he took a gamble!
Xiang Sheng looked at the three people kneeling before him and smiled faintly, "You three are my colleagues, so why bother with such formalities? Please stand up quickly."
Fang Benqi's death led to the defection of the third battalion, which can be considered a worthy death.
Upon hearing this, Deng Jiang and the other two knew that Yue Sheng had accepted their loyalty. They all breathed a sigh of relief and stood up straight.
Xiang Sheng waved his hand and removed the restrictive barrier.
Deng Jiang and Ling Cheng saw clearly this time that Yue Sheng did not use the forbidden disk!
Not only a Sword Immortal, but also a Forbidden Immortal? !
Ling Cheng couldn't help but gasp, turned around and glared at Wang Tu again.
Wang Tu snorted coldly and whispered secretly: "Why are you glaring at me? She hid it too well. I just found out about it."
As the barrier disappeared, faint shouts and roars could be heard from outside.
The battle between the Moon Camp Fairies had not yet ended, so Xiang Sheng was in no hurry to leave. He turned around and looked at the three of them, smiling and asking:
"Commander Wang, do you remember what I said before we entered the illusion?"
Wang Tu was stunned when he heard this, his tone tinged with genuine bitterness. "Of course I know it's wise to stay out of the Shangguan clan's internal strife, but as long as we're in the army, we can't avoid Shangguan Ning and Shangguan Qian. We have to choose one."
Deng Jiang and Ling Cheng also felt sad when they heard this.
Golden Immortals, in front of the behemoth that is the Shangguan clan, are still ants. Shangguan Ning calls them fence-sitters waiting for a price, but they simply want to avoid being dragged into the conflict and maintain neutrality.
Xiang Sheng had anticipated what Wang Tu would say. He chuckled and said, "Commander Wang, I understand your difficulties, but who said you only have two choices?"
Wang Tu was puzzled, "What does Commander Yue mean by this?"
Xiang Sheng's lips curled slightly, "Since you're afraid of being held accountable later, why not let Shangguan Ning and Shangguan Qian fight forever!"
When these words came out, Wang Tu and the other two were all shocked and stared, "Impossible?"
"Why not?"
Xiang Sheng smiled at the three of them and said, "If the three of you work together, you will account for one-third of the Red and Green Army's strength. Shangguan Ning and Shangguan Qian will definitely do their best to win you over.
If Shangguan Ning is strong, you should support the Sun Camp. If Shangguan Ning is weak, you should support the Moon Camp. If this continues, who would dare to say that you will have a hard time in the Red and Green Army? "
Wang Tu and the other two were stunned, as if the door to a new world had been opened.
Can it still be done this way?
Ling Cheng was surprised for a moment, then frowned, "But if this drags on for too long and we can't do it, if any of them wins, they'll definitely come after us."
"Commander Ling, do you really want to stay in the Red and Green Army forever?"
Xiang Sheng was surprised. "After you've profited from the tug-of-war between the two sides, you're so rich, there's no place you can't go. Why do you have to devote yourself to this small piece of land until your death?"
Ling Cheng was stunned.
yes!
Didn't he stay in the Red and Green Army just to practice?
At this level now, what he seeks is no longer a monthly salary, but more precious treasures that can enhance his strength.
Such treasures are not easily obtained, but there is a chance to fight for them during the internal strife among the Shangguan.
After he succeeds, he can leave the Red and Green Army, travel around, and live a more carefree life!
At worst, if the Shangguan family hunts him down afterwards, doesn’t the Ji family still exist?
The Ji and Shangguan clans have always been at odds, and there's also the Forbidden Court...
He thought about it carefully and suddenly realized that there were too many ways to escape! Why did he insist on hanging himself on the tree of the Red and Green Army in the first place?
Ling Cheng suddenly understood and was filled with joy. He then bowed solemnly towards Sheng, showing no reluctance at all. "Thank you, Fellow Daoist Yue, for your guidance. I know what to do now!"
Deng Jiang hadn't figured it out yet, but he also joined in thanking them, thinking of asking Lingcheng in detail later. Wang Tu did the same.
Perhaps because he discovered that Xiang Sheng was quite easy to talk to when he wasn't taking action, Ling Cheng became a little bolder and couldn't help asking, "But Commander Yue, aren't you Shangguan Ning's man? How come..."
"Shangguan Ning and I just made a deal. It's hard to say who belongs to whom."
Xiang Sheng shook his head and said calmly, "My stay in the Red and Green Army won't last long. During this time, I hope the three of you will cooperate well."
Upon hearing this, Ling Cheng clasped his fists without thinking and said, "I will obey Commander Yue's orders!"
