August 15th
At the Hundred Flowers Pavilion in the capital.
"Everyone, who do you think will win tonight's battle between the two sword grandmasters?”
"Sword Saint and Sword God have dominated the Ming Dynasty for several years. Today, the victor is finally decided!”
"It has been many years since the martial arts world of my Great Ming Dynasty has been so lively!”
"Shaolin, Wudang, Demonic Sect, and the Five Mountain Sword Sects are all here to watch the battle. Just this alone is enough to brag for a lifetime!”
"Actually, there were many more, but some sects went overboard and were arrested by the Guarding Dragon Mountain Villa and the factory guards. Some were even killed on the spot!”
"Do you think we will anger the Imperial Court and become wanted criminals if we enter the Imperial Palace tonight?”
"What are you afraid of? The news of the decisive battle on the summit of the forbidden city has been circulating for so long, but the Imperial Court still pretended not to know.”
"Those who are locked up in prison are all small characters. The real first-rate sects or experts above the grandmaster level are all living well!”
"If you're really afraid of death, you can just find a stronger sect to follow you!”
"That's right, that's right. Such a peak battle only happens once every many years. It's really a great regret in my life that I can't witness it with my own eyes!”
"This old man has already lived for more than fifty years and has been stuck at the Postnatal level for half a sixty-year cycle. If I can comprehend a trace of the essence and break through to the Connate level, so what if I die?”
"The ancients said that if you learn the Dao in the morning, you can die in the evening. What are you afraid of?”
"As a person drifting in the martial arts world, he will be stabbed every day. The right way is to observe the duel between the Sword Saint and the Sword God to improve himself!”
"But I heard that the Great Ming Empress is also a great grandmaster. Even if she's not as good as the Sword Saint and Sword God, it's more than enough to deal with us!”
"Which mountain ditch did you come from? Don't you know that this empress was originally from the Tang and was specially sent to harm my Great Ming!”
"Moreover, if a woman were to fight, even if they could win, the royal family would lose all their face!”
"In the past, Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding ancestor, used the Unparalleled Imperial Fist to shock the Nine Provinces. He fought his way from a beggar to the ruler of the dynasty.”
"Forget it. Compared to the burly man next door who was surrounded by beacon fires and who knows when he would be affected by the chaotic army, we're already not bad!”
"Actually, it's not necessarily a bad thing for the Great Han Dynasty to be like that. Heroes appear in troubled times.”
"That's true, but that's a matter for top-notch experts above the Great Grandmaster to consider. It's not up to us small fries!”
The group of martial arts experts drank and chatted, not putting the imperial court in their eyes at all.
Since ancient times, chivalrous men had used martial arts to break the law. Even during the Hongzhi period, martial artists had their own ways, not to mention the current 'fatuous ruler' Zhu Houzhao.
......
The Hua Manor.
"Little Chick Lu, what's wrong with you recently?”
"Isn't it just telling Ximen Chuixue that the marriage has failed and the duel will be held as scheduled? What's there to worry about?”
"In my opinion, that West Gate fellow should have hugged his sword for the rest of his life. He should have married and had children.”
"If you force him to get married, it will hinder his heart as a swordsman!”
Sikong Zhaixing looked at Lu Xiaofeng, who was drinking in silence, and asked with a strange expression.
This guy had been acting weird lately.
For example, he traveled thousands of miles to propose marriage to Ximen Chuixue. After being rejected, he felt that there was something wrong with Ye Gucheng and tried all kinds of ways to delay the final battle between Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng.
Even if he was concerned about his good friend, he shouldn't be like this?
In Sikong Zhaixing's opinion, although Ximen Chuixue had become famous a little later than Ye Gucheng, if they were to fight, he had at least a 40% chance of winning!
"Old Thief, don't you think that the atmosphere has been very strange recently? It's as if someone is deliberately indulging us?”
"Forget it, I can't explain it to you. Commander Xiang, what do you think of this matter?”
Lu Xiaofeng looked at Sikong Zhaixing speechlessly, then turned his gaze to Chu Liuxiang.
"Don't ask anymore. This old bug has recently fallen out of love with that cold face of Ximen!”
"To be precise, it was even worse. He was beaten up by that woman!”
Hu Tiehua gloated.
"There's actually such a thing?"
"You didn't go and provoke those two crazy women from the Flower Transferring Palace, did you?”
Sikong Zhaixing looked at Chu Liuxiang in shock,
One had to know that the two princesses of the Flower Transferring Palace, Yao Yue and Lian Xing, were both heavenly beauties. The reason why they were listed as witches by the people of the martial world was purely because their cultivation was too high. Moreover, they specialized in killing unfaithful men in the world.
It was already ridiculous that Lu Xiaofeng and Chu Liuxiang didn't take the initiative to avoid the Shifting Flower Palace. Now, they actually took the initiative to provoke them. Even if they were tired of living, they wouldn't do this.
"No!"
"She's just a female disciple of the Emei Sect!”
Hu Tiehua shook his head.
"It can't be Sun Xiuqing again, right? There's indeed something wrong with that woman. She even gathered Ximen's proposal party. It's not surprising that Xiangshuai suffered a loss!”
Lu Xiaofeng touched his nose and said.
Having known Chu Liuxiang for a long time, he had also picked up this habit, just like Hu Tiehua.
"No, it's the disciple of the current Emei Sect Master, Abbess Miejue, Zhou Zhiruo!”
Hu Tiehua revealed the mystery.
Lu Xiaofeng was even more confused.
When Dugu Yihe was still alive, with his cultivation as a half-step great grandmaster, he might have been able to teach a decent disciple.
However, this Mistress Annihilation was only at the early-stage of the Zongshi realm. No matter how tender Chu Liuxiang was, she would not be beaten up by her female disciple, right?
Could it be that Chu Liuxiang had done something wicked and felt guilty?
But this didn't fit with a handsome man's lascivious behavior.
"Alright, stop guessing!"
"Lu Xiaofeng is right. Recently, the capital has indeed been very unstable!”
"According to reliable sources, Prince Pingnan and Prince Ning have quietly entered the capital, and they have brought a large number of experts!”
Chu Liuxiang said.
Blooming Flowering Pavilion and the others 'expressions changed.
Compared to ordinary martial artists, they were more familiar with the laws of the imperial court. In fact, it was not an exaggeration to say that a vassal king had the intention of disobeying the imperial court when he left his fief without an imperial edict!
"Could it be that someone is going to take advantage of the battle on the summit of the forbidden city to rebel?”
Ji Bingyan said with a solemn expression.
Secretly deciding to fight on the summit of the forbidden city was already extremely disrespectful to the imperial court. However, considering the cultivation of the two sword grandmasters and their influence in the martial arts world, the imperial family might turn a blind eye.
However, if it was related to rebellion, the mood would be completely different.
If the imperial court was really forced into a corner and attacked at the risk of losing countless soldiers, even a martial grandmaster would find it difficult to survive.
Only those who had reached the Supreme Realm like the integration of Heaven and man would have the right to negotiate with the imperial court.
"Perhaps, this decisive battle was deliberately created by someone with ulterior motives?”
Lu Xiaofeng sighed and said," Xiangshuai, are you interested? Come with me to the palace. You'll understand everything then!"”
"You mean, Protector Beast?"
Chu Liuxiang's brows furrowed slightly, but she immediately understood."Indeed, although we are martial artists, we are also people of Great Ming!”
"If they really succeed in their rebellion, who knows how many people will be homeless!”
"Old Thief, Hu Tiehua, Ji Bingyan, and I are not good at qinggong. It's up to you to bring General Xiang and Young Feng into the palace!”
Blooming Flower Pavilion echoed.
"Alright!"
Although he still had lingering fears about what happened last time, Sikong Zhaixing still nodded in agreement very quickly.
Hundreds of meters away,
"There's no need to make a move here. Let's go to the next shop!”
Han Shengxuan said indifferently. His sleeves hung low, and his arms were covered in red.
