Chapter 553: Jingzhe
"I don't accept it."
With a loud bang, Chi Haohan's huge body leaped out from the cliff.
Scriptures on his body flashed, and his skin was dark red, as if there was a fire burning in his body. "You haven't broken my defense, I haven't lost yet."
Everyone present was shocked and incredulous. The big man's defense was so amazing that he could withstand Tang Wanzhou's sword and palm strikes and still be alive and well.
Tang Wanzhou's eyes flashed with a cold light.
The sharp sound of swords echoed throughout the valley.
The Divine Snow Sword flew out from the ancestral field and fell into his hands.
Chi Haohan quickly retreated and said, "No more fighting! Although I'm not convinced, since you can fight me to such a level at the Second Realm, I will temporarily recognize you as a Saint Master. However, with your current strength, you are definitely no match for Chu Yutian."
The five young masters who had just broken through the realm flew backwards to a distance, all with solemn expressions, feeling the gap between themselves and the martial artists of the third realm, and the terrifyingness of Tang Wanzhou.
"Although Chi Haohan only broke the third immortality lock recently, he was selected into the Shaoyang Division, so his combat power is definitely not simple. Facing Tang Wanzhou who is in the second realm, he seems to have no power to fight back." Chang Yujian smiled bitterly, believing that it would be difficult for him to hone such combat power since he was in the second realm.
Liu Ye said, "If she hadn't come to Dongxu Camp, she would have been directly crowned the new champion of the Sword Dao Imperial Court, without even having to participate in the competition. Such a remarkable woman would be the best in the entire Yingzhou. I am convinced."
From the valley entrance, a pleasant and light voice came on the wind: "I'm sorry, I didn't control the defensive formation well."
Everyone looked in the direction where the sound came from, especially the male martial artists present, who seemed to have their souls pulled by the beautiful voice, and ripples were stirred in their hearts.
They were all chosen by heaven and masters of the realm of immortality. They had never imagined that a single voice could have such magical power.
Below the stream, a mile away, there is a sparkling white light, like the misty waves of a fairy sea.
A stunning figure with picturesque black hair stood in the radiant mist. Countless white birds flew around her, and she had angelic skin and jade-like bones. She rode a strange beast with a dragon's head and a deer's body, its tail resembling a phoenix.
Previously, she was in charge of the defensive formation in the canyon.
Until Tang Wanzhou slapped out with his palm, and Chi Haohan's body flew backwards, crashing through the light gauze of the defensive formation, causing the canyon to collapse.
"Bright and Pure Fire, she is the Mind Master Wei Xiaowei whose surname is Nangong."
"What's your name?"
"I'm not sure. The Merit List only records the surname. I only know that we are from the Holy Temple Habitat. Our ancestors once revealed that there seems to be an ancient tribe living in seclusion in the Holy Temple Habitat, and they warned our people not to be arrogant when they go there. Maybe it is related to it." Lu Qing said.
"It's really amazing. In a third-level confrontation, she, a first-level Holy Spirit Mind Master, was able to barely hold on to the formation set up, without causing too much damage."
Chang Yujian said, "Blood Jade is so talented that he is known as a prodigy in the Demon Country. I thought he could easily take first place in the Mind Master Guard, but he only came in third. You should understand the importance of first place in the Mind Master Assessment."
"You've done very well."
Tang Wanzhou had an extraordinary aura and gave her a positive evaluation.
Being able to make the arrogant Tang Wanzhou say "very good" is second only to the evaluation of Chu Yutian.
The falling snow never stopped, covering the branches of all the vegetation in the valley and the heads of all the cultivators.
"No more waiting. If the time hasn't come yet, it will be deemed that you don't want to join the Shaoyang Division. From now on, we will choose another candidate."
Tang Wanzhou got straight to the point: "You all have extraordinary origins. I believe you already know what happened and why the Shaoyang Division was established. I will not elaborate further."
"The Deputy Patrol Master gave us forty years to restore the reputation of the Dongxu Camp. But I didn't want to wait that long. I promised him that within twenty years, I would kill at least half of the Taiyin Envoys and take Chu Yutian's head. I would make sure that the Taiyin Cult martial artists would tremble in fear at the mere mention of my Shaoyang Division."
In the pavilion, the scholar paused in his chess game. "Twenty years, isn't that too radical? Cultivation shouldn't be a momentary battle of whims. It should be down-to-earth, gradual, and steady. Haste inevitably leads to impatience. If you're impatient, your state of mind will already be compromised. How can you not lose?"
"This is a battle of a generation. I think if we can finish it before the next batch of sentinels are recruited, the mission will be accomplished. It's really too radical!" said the Taoist priest.
Tang Wanzhou said, "Twenty years is too radical? Six years from now, it will be the time for the Hundred Realms of Immortality, and the battle to cross to the other shore. I originally told the Deputy Sentinel to resolve all of this within six years, but he rejected it, saying I was being radical."
"Six years have passed in the blink of an eye. It's too short to fight for it," said the Taoist in the pavilion.
Tang Wanzhou asked, "What if there is enough Dragon Soul Source Light?"
The eyes of all the martial artists present lit up.
Tang Wanzhou said, "Shao Zun participated in the excavation of the ancient immortal dragon skeleton and was allocated a batch of dragon soul source light and immortal dragon blood. I have secured all of this for the Shaoyang Division. In addition, all trial sites in the Netherworld of the Dead are now open to the Shaoyang Division, provided you dare to go and are not afraid of death there."
"Including the ancient country of Suiyuexu?" asked the young man from the Mo Yue clan.
"All cities, sects, ancient countries, ancestral sites, and restricted areas buried in darkness within the monitoring range of Dongxu Camp are open to you as long as I deem them valuable for training."
Tang Wanzhou then continued, "The twelve lunar envoys under Chu Yutian's command are named after the twelve hours of the day. This Saint Division believes that we should surpass him, so the twelve members of our Shaoyang Division will be named after the twelve months of the year."
Chi Haohan said, "What should I call them? The First Month Envoy, the Second Month Envoy... It's too unlucky!"
The Taoist priest in the pavilion said, "Let's use the twenty-four solar terms as our name. We can then claim that we are twenty-four people and thus confuse our opponents."
"Can!"
Tang Wanzhou agreed.
The discussion continued into the late night.
Li Weiyi was given a ball of dragon soul light and returned to Qingyin Pavilion.
To obtain Dragon Soul Source Light again, one must rank in the top six in terms of progress in each assessment. Those who fail to do so will enter the Netherworld of the Dead or the Skyfire World for arduous training.
Another half a month passed, and Tang Wanzhou finally dealt with all the affairs of Shaoyang Division. Playing with the "Qingzhe" Holy Guard Order in his hand, he came to the outside of Qingyin Pavilion, ready to go to Longcheng with Li Weiyi.
Dafeng, who was in charge of guarding, immediately opened the formation when he saw her coming, and then flew over.
"Dafeng, you've grown so big? Have you achieved immortality?"
Tang Wanzhou looked surprised and caught Dafeng with one arm.
After swallowing a six-thousand-year-old medicinal herb, the phoenix is now extremely beautiful, three feet long, with wings that are colorful and indistinguishable from phoenix feathers.
The membranous wings inside the wings emit golden light and are as thin as a knife, giving people a terrifying sense of sharpness.
Being able to activate the formation will naturally greatly increase wisdom.
All sixty-four Polar Day True Pills have been sold. The money obtained was exchanged for two six-thousand-year-old thousand-year-old thousand-year-old medicinal herbs, which were fed to Dafeng and Erfeng respectively.
You know, for an ordinary young immortal realm martial artist, being able to spend tens of millions of Yongquan coins is already considered wealthy. And a 6,000-year-old thousand-year-old medicinal herb is worth 60 million Yongquan coins.
It can only be easily purchased in Dongxuying.
Only Li Weiyi, who had the free Polar Day Dew and Xihe Flowers from the Fusang sacred tree, dared to feed them so generously.
"Dafeng, who are you talking to?"
Yu'er, with two small braids, walked out of the medicinal field carrying a bamboo basket full of fruits and vegetables, and looked at Tang Wanzhou who was standing in the courtyard.
The two looked at each other.
One was shocked, the other was surprised.
Yu'er was naturally surprised.
The master had clearly warned us not to open the formation and let anyone in.
She had met Tang Wanzhou before and knew he was the Young Lord of the Northern Territory, who had a close relationship with her master. She quickly and politely saluted, only to see the Young Lord of the Northern Territory also bowing with his fists clasped across from her.
Compared to when she was in the East China Sea, Yu'er's appearance has changed a lot, but some of her shadow can still be seen.
Just when Tang Wanzhou was about to reveal his identity as "Grand Palace Master", Li Weiyi, who was in seclusion in the blood mud space, heard Erfeng's urgent call and rushed out in time.
"Young Master, come with me, let's talk first." Li Weiyi shouted from a distance.
Erfeng whispered in his ear: "Dafeng let it in. I didn't persuade him to stop."
Li Weiyi glared at Dafeng fiercely, pulled Tang Wanzhou, and walked away quickly, while sending a message to tell her about the situation of the Grand Palace Master and the reasons behind it.
Tang Wanzhou had been affected by the Six Minds Mantra while in the underground immortal palace, and had already guessed this.
Yu'er's sudden appearance just now, and her considerable growth, had truly stunned her. Gradually, Tang Wanzhou calmed down: "You should have told me earlier."
"I told you a long time ago!" Li Weiyi said.
Tang Wanzhou recalled the past and thought deeply, feeling choked with anger. "What should I do now?"
"Let's go to Longcheng first. I must break through and become a Holy Spirit Mind Master as soon as possible." Li Weiyi said.
In the distance, Yu'er tilted her head to look at the two whispering people and called out, "Master, do you want more food for the young master?"
Upon hearing this, Tang Wanzhou looked at Li Weiyi in surprise. "The Grand Palace Master cooks for you every day? Are you really unaware of the legends surrounding her and mistake her for a little girl? Once she recovers, she'll likely retain her current memories. I advise you to be respectful to her, or you'll suffer in the future."
"She insists on taking over the work. What can I do? I feel like I'm walking on thin ice." Li Weiyi said.
Yu'er, carrying a bamboo basket, tiptoed over step by step, her big round eyes seeming to be thinking about something: "Master, do you have so much to say?"
"Young Master is a distinguished guest, we will have a good meal today."
Li Weiyi forced a smile, took the Jingzhe Holy Guard Order from Tang Wanzhou, and walked towards her quickly.
…
Noon.
Li Weiyi and Tang Wanzhou, through space teleportation, arrived at a restaurant in Hai City, Yuelong Island, hundreds of thousands of miles away. The table was full of delicious fish and shrimp.
Take Yu'er out of the blood mud space.
Li Weiyi used a disguise technique, put on a beard, and looked like a man in his thirties.
Tang Wanzhou and Yu'er disguised themselves as a family of three.
Li Weiyi had no appetite and silently calculated the transmission cost in his mind.
Teleporting over such a long distance would cost too much, a round trip would be equivalent to the entire fortune of some newly promoted immortal realm cultivators. If something unexpected happened to Lu Jingshen and he failed to obtain the Holy Spirit Pill, it would be a huge loss.
Tang Wanzhou looked at Yu'er, who was eating heartily, and transmitted a message, "If the Grand Palace Master doesn't want to stay in the blood mud space, then you can let her come with you. If you openly bring a little girl with you, no one will believe she is the Grand Palace Master and will only think you are bluffing. Alternatively, you can have the Grand Palace Master follow me?"
Li Weiyi remained noncommittal and asked, "What is the young master going to do in Longcheng?"
"kill."
Tang Wanzhou then continued, "Among the twelve lunar envoys, the most powerful are the Noon Yang and the Midnight Yin. According to intelligence from half a month ago, the Noon Envoy Qin Zhengyang will travel to Dragon City during the Lantern Festival to deliver a secret treasure from the Netherworld of the Dead to Daogong Zhenchuan."
"If we can seize this opportunity and kill him, the Dongxu Camp will be able to make a great comeback."
Li Weiyi frowned. "Is the intelligence reliable? Could this be a trap set by the enemy?"
"I only know one thing: if we completely distrust the intelligence, the entire Dongxu Camp will become blind and deaf."
Tang Wanzhou added, "Whether it's a trap, whether I should take action, and whether it can succeed depends on my own vision, judgment, and strength."
"If we accomplish this feat despite our own self-doubt, it will bring unparalleled confidence to the newly established Shaoyang Division. It will also stabilize the morale of the troops and ensure that the Dongxu Camp no longer fears the enemy."
