Chapter 237: Sun and Moon Rise Together
The pedestrians on the street, including the noodle shop owners, were all scared away by the cold murderous aura that Ge Xiantong had just released.
The bridge was empty and all sound had disappeared.
In this eerie silence, the only sounds were the chopsticks and bowls of the two people in the store.
Li Weiyi said, "In fact, I was terribly scared. Knowing that I would face the jealous killing of the best master of the younger generation at dawn, I even wanted to hide under the sea of the outer city of South City and hide until the night after tomorrow."
Ge Xiantong said: "Wouldn't it be better to escape from the city?"
"I'm afraid that escaping from the city will also lead to death." Li Weiyi said.
"etc……"
Ge Xiantong looked strange and asked with a smile: "What does jealous killing mean?"
Li Weiyi said, "Everyone in Qiuzhou knows that I can defeat all enemies in the world within five moves. When I cultivate to the seventh sea, I can defeat you within five moves. Do you dare to say that you don't have a trace of jealousy and sense of crisis in your heart? Are you really coming to kill me just for the public good?"
Ge Xiantong said solemnly: "If you, Li Weiyi, can serve the court, become a loyal and righteous man, support the country, and save the people from danger, I will admire you enough. Why should I kill you?"
"I originally thought that when we have such talent, we should help the world with a righteous heart, focus on transcendence to cultivate martial arts, and dream of the vast universe to follow the sages. But after seeing you today, I am really disappointed. Your heart and vision are too narrow. You are still stuck on the jealousy of two young men."
Li Weiyi secretly admired Ge Xiantong's powerful eloquence and wanted to use the word "jealousy" to shake his heart, but he interpreted the word "jealousy" as narrow-minded and fought back.
And he did not fall into the trap of being defeated in five moves by people of the same realm.
Li Weiyi said, "If you are poor, you should take care of yourself; if you are rich, you should help the world. With our cultivation in the Five Seas Realm, we cannot take care of ourselves. We need the protection of the forces behind us. Are we overestimating ourselves by shouting the slogan of helping the world? At present, we can only go with the flow. If you can't do any of these, then you are aiming too high. These three sentences were said by your master Yu Yaozi, and they are somewhat credible."
Ge Xiantong said: "The blue sky is dead, the yellow sky should be established. Why don't you aim too high? You, Li Weiyi, have bigger ambitions than the sky. If you are allowed to grow up, it will be a great trouble for the court."
Li Weiyi said: "So your goal of benefiting the world is just to benefit the imperial court. Isn't that narrow-minded?"
There was heavy snow outside.
The firewood was burning fiercely in the stove.
Ge Xiantong finished his noodles first and wiped his lips: "You and Jiang Ning must have some special relationship. Even she can't recruit you. I won't waste any more words. Stop wasting time and eat quickly. I'll send you on your way after you finish."
"By chance, I helped her once, and she wanted to help me escape today's murder and return the favor. Unfortunately, we have different positions, so we had to go our separate ways and broke up last night."
Li Weiyi sighed, and then asked seriously: "Ge Xiantong, how long do you think this world will remain in chaos?"
Ge Xiantong was amazed at Li Weiyi's calmness. He sat opposite him, called him by his name, without any fear or cowardice. He was a dragon among men.
Soon, his thoughts drifted back to the closed palace gate deep in Lingxiao Palace. His expression was complicated and he was unable to answer Li Weiyi's question.
Li Weiyi said: "Outside the court is the Far West Ashes, and inside are the Snow Sword Tang Court, Thunder Sky Sect, Zhumen, Longmen... and countless other powerful enemies. It won't take a few years for the Far West Ashes to march westward, and Lingxiao City will probably be breached this year. And I, the so-called future threat, am just a small pawn."
"Killing me is meaningless to the court."
Ge Xiantong collected his thoughts and said, "I heard that you are very good at sophistry, but it is useless to me. Do you know why the court must defeat Zuoqiu Menting at the Qianlong Lantern Festival? Even want to kill Zuoqiu Hongting?"
"Why?" Li Weiyi asked.
Ge Xiantong said: "Do you know the elixir of immortality? Whoever obtains the elixir of immortality will rule the world."
"But only Du'e Temple can refine the elixir of immortality, and ten of them are sent to Lingxiao Shengjing every sixty years. In the past thousand years, these elixirs were sent to Lingxiao Palace, and the court decided who to reward them to."
Li Weiyi knew that the elixir of immortality was precious, but he never thought it was this precious: "There are only ten in sixty years. I'm afraid the court has consumed them all!"
Ge Xiantong nodded: "Without the elixir of immortality, even a Lingxiao Jiatou like Zuoqiu Ling would have to wait until he was fifty years old to achieve immortality. His achievement of achieving immortality in these sixty years has impressed countless Daozhong realm martial artists, who admired him so much that they could not catch up with him and were amazed by him."
“But people in the world don’t know that with the help of the elixir of immortality, many martial artists in the imperial court who were less talented than Zuo Qiuling have entered the realm of immortality in their thirties or forties.”
Li Weiyi asked, "The inheritors of tens of millions of families are not qualified to take the ten pills of immortality every sixty years?"
"You're not even qualified to smell it."
Ge Xiantong said: "The three palace masters and eight transcendents who hold the core power in the court, each of them has a force behind them. Their disciples, descendants and geniuses are all waiting for these ten immortality pills, there are simply not enough to share."
Li Weiyi said: "The court has done this, and it has ended up with the whole world being enemies today. It is really its own fault."
Ge Xiantong did not deny this: "If you sit in that position, it will not be much better. If you don't give your disciples and descendants, who will support the family and guard your grave when your lifespan runs out in a thousand years? If you give aid to the enemy and give it to outsiders, they will raid your house and dig up your grave."
Li Weiyi said: "So, the fight for the support of Du'e Temple is essentially a fight for the right to distribute the elixir of immortality. Even if you defeat the Zuomen Sect and kill Zuoqiu Hongting, Du'e Temple will turn to support other rebel forces. They are obviously extremely disappointed with the court and have given up on you."
"We are not fighting for Du'e Temple, but for Zuoqiu Sect. It's hard to understand, right?" Ge Xiantong said, "Didn't you say before that the Far West Ashes were coming to the West and everyone knew about it. If it really came to the West, where would it be affected first?"
"The western and southern borders." Li Weiyi said.
The Far West Ashes Region is obviously already planning, otherwise there wouldn't be so many forces in the West and South regions joining Luan Sheng Lin You's ranks.
Ge Xiantong said: "If the Zuoqiu Sect loses the support of Du'e Temple and faces the Far West Ashes, there will only be two options left for them: either submit to the Far West Ashes or submit to the imperial court. The same goes for the Zhu Sect."
Only then did Li Weiyi realize that this was how the court thought about things.
If the Far West Ashes really came with such force...
“Faced with the disaster of genocide and the lives of people in several states, the top leaders of Zuoqiu Sect and Zhu Family had to compromise even if they did not want to. And Zuoqiu Hongting, a junior who died in a fair fight, was like a stone thrown into a river, just some ripples in the face of the overall situation in the world.” Ge Xiantong said.
"Survival and power are both the art of compromise."
Li Weiyi nodded slightly and said, "Are you so sure that they will watch a young emperor being killed by you?"
Ge Xiantong smiled and said, "In the eyes of Du'e Temple, the martial arts foundation of a young emperor can be cultivated. As long as they are willing, the Dragon Palace can be promoted, and so can Lu Cangsheng and Tang Wanqiu. Their rules and majesty are ten or a hundred times more important than the life of a young emperor."
"Du'e Temple has not made a final decision yet. Zuoqiu Sect just has the best chance. So Xuejian Tangting, Longmen, Zhumen, Leixiao Sect... everyone has come and is trying to win."
"The Jiuli tribe can only choose Zuoqiu Menting, and Zuoqiu Menting only has two more roads than the Jiuli tribe."
"In troubled times, everyone stands on the edge of a cliff. No one can handle it with ease. Everyone is helpless."
The murderous aura permeated Ge Xiantong again, and his eyes were no longer gentle: "Zuoqiu Hongting deserves to die! And you, the young emperor who unexpectedly appeared, deserve the death penalty too, right?"
Li Weiyi calculated the time and it was almost three quarters past three. He didn't know whether Li Ling, Zuoqiu Hongting, Cangli and the others could understand what he meant. Helping them lure Ge Xiantong away is the limit of what Li Weiyi can do.
Just the invisible murderous aura made Li Weiyi feel as uncomfortable as if he was trapped in a muddy swamp, as if something was pressing on him from all directions.
"After fighting all night, your energy must have been severely depleted, right? Are you still in peak condition?" Li Weiyi adjusted his breathing, putting himself in a state of clarity and clarity in order to prepare for the toughest life-and-death battle that was about to come.
Ge Xiantong said: "To kill you, I don't need to be in peak condition! I have reached the perfection of the Seven Seas, and I can absorb the energy of heaven and earth with my breathing, so I can recover quickly."
Li Weiyi felt the pressure of Ge Xiantong's fighting intention, and his body suddenly became as heavy as a thousand pounds, filled with murderous intent.
The surrounding area was filled with white fog, the scenery was completely lost, and it was infinitely vast.
His five senses were completely lost due to the opponent's fighting method and intention.
“Wow!”
On the opposite side, in the depths of the void behind Ge Xiantong, the sun and the moon rose up, like the two eyes of a cosmic giant, looking down at all living things on the earth.
Qi Xiao and Shi Shishi, who had been hiding for a night, searched everywhere in the city for Li Weiyi.
Previously, they were hiding in the dark and naturally heard three long roars from the top of the city wall, and knew that Li Weiyi was nearby.
The two of them suddenly stopped and looked across the river, at the noodle shop next to the bridge.
It was extremely strange there. All the snowflakes suddenly stopped in the void for a short time, forming a unique field. They could see Li Weiyi sitting facing them, and there was another figure in white, but no one knew who it was.
"Brother Weiyi..." Shi Shishi shouted.
“Boom!”
A deafening roar came from the direction of the governor's mansion, and the earth shook.
The team of great mind masters from Zuoqiumen sent out runes all over the sky.
Three more high-quality Hundred-Character Sutra instruments rose from the governor's mansion, releasing brilliant light and smashing towards the direction of the imperial court camp. The formation was broken through layer by layer, war drums sounded, tigers roared and monkeys cried, and a desperate battle to decide the outcome of the Qianlong Lantern Festival broke out.
But at this moment, the most core leader of the imperial court's martial arts was not in the center of the battlefield.
Ge Xiantong released his battle ideas and the battle with the governor's mansion started almost at the same time.
Li Weiyi secretly exclaimed "God help me", he had sensed Ge Xiantong's inner doubt from the loosening of his fighting intention, so he added fuel to the fire and deliberately angered him: "Ge Xiantong, you've fallen into the trap! Three long howls, representing a breakout from the direction of the court in three quarters of an hour. Without you in charge, who can be the opponent of Zuoqiu Hongting, Cangli, and Zhu Yibai? This bowl of noodles is very expensive."
At the same time, the hand holding the bowl burst out with the radiance of Dharma.
“Bang!”
While the magic energy shattered the noodle bowl, it also attracted the earth spirit ash spring hidden at the bottom of the bowl.
The gray fountain instantly exploded and turned into gray mist that filled the entire store.
