As Zhu Houzhao began to measure the land, the entire court was bound to be shocked.
The representatives of these powerful clans were all extremely furious, but they knew very well how powerful Zhu Houzhao was. They gritted their teeth and could only do some small tricks in secret.
Zhu Houzhao only smiled when he heard the news. He noted down these people and ignored them.
At the same time, at this critical moment.
The news of Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng's battle on the summit of the forbidden city quickly spread throughout the world.
The entire Jianghu was restless, and countless Jianghu people became excited when they heard about it.
There were not many experts from famous sects and ordinary people in the martial arts world who began to rush to the capital.
There were even rumors that Ximen Chuixue had already arrived in the capital.
As expected!
Not long after, Ye Gucheng arrived as scheduled. The two of them bumped into each other on the street of the West City.
The moment they met, a huge aura was stimulated, and a surging battle intent gathered in his heart, like two shocking swords being unsheathed.
This move was earth-shattering!
During the confrontation, there were also people from Jianghu who passed by and instantly recognized the two of them.
For a moment, they shouted!
Not long after, countless martial artists and sect experts had gathered here.
Looking at the terrifying aura formed by the collision of their auras, everyone's faces were filled with surprise. All of them looked like they were watching a good show.
"Are these two going to fight here? Didn't we agree that we would be in the palace?"
"I don't know. Keep watching! These two were famous swordsmen, so they shouldn't go back on their words.”
"Interesting! Interesting! To be able to see two peerless experts fight today was really a great blessing in his life!”
"What guts! They actually dared to fight in the emperor's palace! How satisfying! Delightful!"
……
More and more Jianghu people came and went, and they began to discuss animatedly. However, no one dared to approach and talk to them.
Whether it was Ye Gucheng or Ximen Chuixue, they were both caught in an invisible confrontation.
If anyone dared to come forward and was stabbed to death by a sword, they would really die in vain.
"You're here!"
Ye Gucheng's eyes were filled with coldness. His sword intent towered into the sky as he glared at Ximen Chuixue.
The other party's sword intent came menacingly, as if it was challenging him.
More importantly, this sword intent was as proud and cold as him.
It was the unyielding, the pride and loneliness between them.
The City Lord of White Cloud City was a peerless Sword Immortal!
A sword from the west, a celestial from beyond the heavens!
This was Ye Gucheng!
The moment he appeared in the capital, he was destined to be the focus of everyone's attention.
His temperament was extremely aloof, as if nothing in the world could be seen in his eyes.
His figure, appearance, and temperament made the world know what a sword immortal was!
He was dressed in white, pure and flawless. He did not look like he was in the mortal world. Instead, he looked like he was banished to the mortal world.
It was the immortal who had lived for a long time above the nine heavens!
However, the most astonishing thing was his aura. That lonely sword intent was so sharp that it made people's hearts tremble.
"You're here! How can I not come?"
Ximen Chuixue's expression did not change. There seemed to be countless sword qi churning in his eyes. Suddenly, an extreme sword intent burst out from his body.
He did not show any signs of weakness and went up to Ye Gucheng.
It was cold!
It was extremely cold!
However, although his temperament was cold, it was also the coldness of the human world.
Just like how the snow was cold, but everyone could touch it.
This made Ye Gucheng's lips curl into a rare smile.
The sword intent around him was completely unleashed. That lofty sword intent made everyone's hearts turn cold, and it also made them repeatedly shocked.
No one had expected Ximen Chuixue's sword intent to be so powerful. As the two of them fought, they were evenly matched.
This made everyone extremely excited.
Was he going to make a move?
He could finally see the battle between the two top swordsmen.
"Enough, now is not the time for a decisive battle. You and I will fight again in the Imperial Palace seven days later!”
Ye Gucheng frowned and said indifferently when he saw that there was no result in the confrontation.
"Good! Seven days later in the palace, you and I will decide the victor!”
Ximen Chuixue nodded slightly in agreement.
Fighting on the street was not what he wanted at all.
Only a decisive battle in the palace would reveal their identities.
When he mentioned the imperial palace, Ximen Chuixue's lips curled into a smile. He said to Ye Gucheng,"You and I will fight to the top of the capital. What if the emperor refuses?”
The address was chosen by Ye Gucheng, but it was also suitable for him.
However, the decisive battle in the Imperial Palace was a slap to the Great Ming Emperor's face.
Ximen Chuixue believed that he, Ye Gucheng, knew this.
"How dare you come! Just kill them."
Hearing this, Ye Gucheng's eyes revealed a touch of disdain as he said casually.
"Good! Then kill him!"
Ximen Chuixue nodded in agreement.
When did the people of the martial world put the Emperor in their eyes?
The conversation between the two of them made the blood of all the famous masters and martial artists boil!
At first, they were a little stunned, but soon they began to cheer loudly!
They were really here to watch the show!
Since ancient times, it had always been chivalrous people who used martial arts to break the ban!
And how many people could say it openly?
There weren't many martial arts masters like Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng who would do what they said.
This was especially true for the Land Deity Chen Zhibao from the imperial court. Not only had he killed two Land Deities, he had also led 10,000 Snowy Dragon Cavalry to defeat Prince Ning's army.
And now, they were beginning to suppress him in a bloody manner!
Now, these two actually dared to say that they would fight in the Imperial Palace!
This bravery also caused many martial arts experts to cheer. This was extremely in line with the appetite of the martial arts world.
……
At this moment, the news that Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng had challenged the imperial palace to a battle, and at the same time, they looked down on the imperial court, instantly spread throughout the capital.
Moreover, it was still spreading outwards.
This move also attracted a large number of experts who wanted to watch the battle.
The entire capital became lively, and many factions began to discuss.
"What's the relationship between the Land Deity and Zhu Houzhao? Although Chen Zhibao was strong, he couldn't possibly chase after Ye Gucheng, right?”
"I'm afraid it won't work with just cats. Ye Gucheng and Ximen Chuixue are not weak!”
"This is a good opportunity…"
Zhu Houzhao's actions had long displeased the aristocratic families that were represented by the officials. They were even disgusted to the extreme.
However, due to Zhu Houzhao's overwhelming might, they did not dare to refute him directly, let alone confront him head-on.
However, they still had the guts to cause trouble in the dark.
As long as they didn't expose it, no one would know that they were the ones who did it.
After all, Zhu Houzhao had not only offended the aristocratic families in the Great Ming Country, but there were also many imperial powers that wanted Zhu Houzhao dead.
As the incident at the summit of the forbidden city became more and more intense, many people began to become restless.
This gave them an opportunity.
They secretly gave orders to bribe the people of the martial world to cause trouble in the capital.
At the same time, there were also people who were ready to seize the opportunity to fight on the summit of the forbidden city and behead Zhu Houzhao.
After all, such opportunities were rare.
If he missed it, it would really be gone.
Only by killing Zhu Houzhao would he be able to protect himself and the clan behind him, even if the fate of the entire Great Ming Dynasty would fall.
Of course, there was more than one person who had this idea.
The various empires were also sharpening their blades. They were all trying to take the opportunity to kill Zhu Houzhao.
As long as this person died, wouldn't Big Ming be at the mercy of others?
