It was already afternoon when Fu Nian walked out of the relay station. The journey from here to the Little Sage Manor was not far, but Fu Nian had walked for a long time. The current leader of the Confucians was full of hesitation. This Twelfth Young Master had given the Confucians a huge pie. The path of the Confucians was the path of saving the world. Confucius had hoped to achieve his ideal of saving the world all his life. However, the path of the Confucians was somewhat unrealistic for hegemony. It was difficult to achieve his goal quickly. This Twelfth Young Master saw the value of the Confucians. He also said that he could help the scholarly faction achieve their ideals. No matter how one looked at it, it was a huge opportunity.
He wasn't a person with a weak will, but everyone had an obsession. The burden of the scholarly faction was on his shoulders. This era was like a torrent, and if they didn't advance, they would fall back. If the scholarly faction couldn't seize this opportunity, then their fate might slide into another abyss.
This was the pressure of responsibility. It was both a bad thing and a good thing for one to have nothing, because any decision was one's own decision. However, if one's decision determined the fate of others, and it was the decision of many disciples who regarded one as their master or father, or even the decision of the elders of the same sect, then one would have more concerns. The existence of stock could restrain madness, but it could also waste opportunities.
To Fu Nian, this was undoubtedly a difficult decision. The Confucian school abided by benevolence and righteousness, and the Empire had extended an olive branch. If he refused, then the Confucian school would definitely suffer a heavy blow, and might even disappear forever. The City Defense Army, the Shadow Secret Guards, the hidden network, and the unconcealed gaze of this young master all showed something called determination.
Fu Nian wasn't afraid of any plots or schemes, because the reason why a plot was formed was because of the lack of information. However, Ying Xi was using a domineering method. If he couldn't use it, he would kill him. Such a naked method was really terrifying. If it was other forces, they could naturally pretend to be loyal and pretend to be polite. However, loyalty and filial piety were the foundation of Confucianism. Once they submitted and pledged loyalty, there would be no room for turning back.
He let out a long sigh. This was a difficult decision, but the Confucians had no other choice. The Mohists had already set an example. The Twelfth Young Master was ambitious, and the First Emperor favored him very much. It was not impossible for him to inherit the throne in the future. No, it was even possible. In the past few years, the Young Master's ability to deal with court affairs was obvious to all. Many of the Empire's mistakes and harsh policies had been greatly alleviated by him, although the internal contradictions of the Empire had not been completely eliminated. This undoubtedly proved his ability and was also the best choice for the Empire's long-term stability.
It was time for the Confucians to make a decision. While Fu Nian was struggling in his heart, Ying Xi's room was in a completely different state. Zhang Liang was burning with anxiety, and he had proposed to leave several times, but Ying Xi had rejected him every time. Ying Xi was not anxious at all, because he knew that Fu Nian had already made his decision. The Confucians would not risk everything under the might of the Empire, but once the Confucians joined, there was no turning back. The two great schools had joined the Empire. It was undoubtedly the most solid foundation for the empire's rule.
Once this situation occurred, it would be difficult for his plans to be realized. Looking at Ying Xi leisurely drinking tea, Zhang Liang felt a chill run down his spine. The words that this young master had just spoken to his senior brother didn't conceal his plans for the scholarly faction. Although he didn't threaten them, if the scholarly faction rejected him, then what awaited them would definitely be a bloody storm. From his eyes, Zhang Liang could see a calm killing intent that wasn't concealed at all!
He had just arrived here and made all sorts of arrangements. She was also tied to his side and did nothing. This scheme was really terrifying.
"What's wrong? Mister Third seemed very anxious. Worried about the fate of the scholarly faction?”，Zhang Liang said,"The Confucians are self-sustaining with benevolence and righteousness. They naturally have the protection of the heavens." Ying Xi laughed. Mr. Zhang also believes in destiny?" Zhang Liang said,"The general trend of the world is where the destiny lies."
Ying Xi said,"Everyone has their own standpoint and perspective. My standpoint is to defend the empire. Anyone who stands in my way is my enemy, but I have a habit. I will try my best to reduce my enemies and increase my friends. If I can't do it, I will kill them all."
As soon as he finished speaking, a sword light appeared before his eyes. Ying Xiqu seemed to have been prepared for this. His inner force cultivation was already extremely refined and rich. The most terrifying thing was that his cultivation of Supreme allowed him to transform multiple Supreme Essences into one another, allowing him to grasp the movements around him. Although the owner of this sword light was terrifying, he could not hide it from his eyes and ears.
The sword light rotated, and the famous sword Chun Jun, which had been passed down for thousands of years, was finally unsheathed again. It faced the attack head-on with an aura that could cut through everything. With a ding, the two swords clashed, and sparks flew everywhere. The sword qi of the two people was extremely shocking. The people around them felt that the sharp will that came from the front seemed to have been drowned in the sword rain. The person who attacked with his sword was like a cloud. An extremely sharp but rich power surged out, and the person used the momentum to float away.
" Not bad, your power has improved again." The person broke through the roof and entered. Under the moonlight, his white hair was clear, and his long sword emitted a cold light.
I was wondering who came without an invitation. So it's Mister Wei Zhuang. It's just that he came uninvited and sneaked an attack from behind. It's really against the style of a gentleman."So what if it's a sneak attack? The simplest method is also the most effective. If Ying Zheng's twelfth young master dies here, it will be a very interesting thing."
Looking at the sword qi rising from the demon sword shark tooth, Ying Xi also felt a heavy pressure. He held the famous sword in his hand and slowly entered the sword. His true qi slowly fused with the sword.
Ying Xi's men had surrounded him. He stood alone in another room, watching quietly. Gao Yue stood beside him.
"That bad guy Wei Zhuang is here. Aren't you going to help him?”，The man smiled and said," The 12th Young Master's martial arts are amazing. He is already a first-class master. Even Wei Zhuang can't hurt him." Although Gao Yue knew that this Young Master's martial arts were very high, she didn't expect him to be able to compete with Wei Zhuang.
At this moment, the two of them were already engaged in a battle. The blades of the swords sliced through the surroundings, creating a sizzling sound. The tea bowls, tables, and chairs were all covered with thin sword marks. Ying Xi's sword turned extremely fast, sometimes like the autumn wind, and sometimes like the scorching sun. Even the Shark Tooth Sword was moved along the gaps, and Wei Zhuang's arm had several more wounds.
Zhang Liang, who was watching from the side, couldn't help but frown. Although Shark Tooth's counterattack was fierce, it was already shrouded by the pure sword momentum. The two sides attacked extremely fast, and in a moment, they had already exchanged more than 300 moves. Both of them were geniuses in the sword path. Although Ying Xi's sword technique contained many meanings, the foundation of his sword technique was still Phantom Valley's sword technique. Both sides were extremely familiar with each other's sword technique. Before the sword technique was formed, the other party had already found a way to counter it. If the move failed, it would be even more dangerous.
The evolution of inner force, moves, transformations, and concepts was a dizzying sight, and the danger was also dazzling. The surrounding walls were actually turned into thin paper, and they were shaken by the sword qi until they were unrecognizable. If there was a slight mistake, he would probably be smashed into pieces. Everyone was extremely nervous.
" Mr. Wei Zhuang's swordsmanship is indeed extremely domineering. I admire you." Ying Xi gently flicked the blood drops that had slid down his arm. In the previous exchange, Wei Zhuang had actually managed to cut open his own arm even though he was at a disadvantage. The angle was tricky and swift, and the counterattack using his sword momentum was also exceptionally powerful. He was indeed worthy of being a top-notch swordsman.
Wei Zhuang snorted coldly. Blood had already dyed his sleeves red. There were already several sword scars on his arms under the cover of his sleeves. He was actually at a disadvantage in the exchange just now. If he had not figured out some of his sword path and injured him with a dangerous sword attack just now, it would not have been easy for him to escape.
"Have you studied my swordsmanship before?”，Wei Zhuang knew that although his opponent's sword technique was powerful, it was still difficult to compare with his. Even with the help of a famous sword, it was difficult for him to beat him. However, during the exchange just now, his opponent was unusually familiar with his sword path. It was obvious that he was prepared.
" Mister Wei Zhuang is an extremely valuable opponent, so how could he not study it carefully? After breaking through the City of Traps, I happened to obtain some of Yan Dan's sword techniques, and I specially studied the way to break through it. The work of such an expert that he had painstakingly worked on for many years has finally come in handy today."
"Yan Dan? What a joke. Was the Twelfth Young Master using someone else's name? This was nothing, but the Twelfth Young Master did not seem to have gone all out! This was what was surprising. Everyone was shocked. The battle between the two was already earth-shattering, but Ying Xi still hadn't gone all out?
"Go all out? I've already done my best, but I didn't risk my life. I have no enmity with Mister Wei Zhuang, but rather, we're working hand in hand, so why risk my life?”，Although there was a smile on his face, the meaning behind his words was terrifying!
