It was snowing heavily, the sky was dark, the mountains were covered in white, and the dead branches were covered in frost.
The atmosphere in the True Martial Great Hall was extremely solemn. Empress Yin, Zhu Yuyan, took half a step back. She was only responsible for keeping an eye on Wudang Sect Leader Wang Zhonglou and preventing him from attacking.
As for killing the Prince of Beiliang, Zhu Yuyan did not intend to do so. There were still hundreds of thousands of cavalry in Liangzhou.
There was still someone alive in the Xu family. No matter who took over the Liangzhou Iron Cavalry after this cripple died.
Furthermore, the Prince of Beiliang was still a prince of the imperial court in name.
Whoever took Xu Rentu's head in the end would be the target of public criticism. No matter if it was the Imperial Court or the Northern Liang, they would not let this matter rest.
Therefore, when Zhu Yuyan went up the mountain, she said that she was here to ask for tea from Wudang Sect.
The black-robed man took one step at a time. His footsteps were steady, and the sound of his footsteps was like a war drum that sounded in everyone's minds.
Other than the black-robed man, no one else moved.
Zhu Yuyan and Wang Zhonglou confronted each other, while the black-robed man and the Taoist priest of Lotus Peak confronted each other. They were wary of each other.
No matter who made the first move, what followed was a battle to the death between Celestial Phenomenon Ascendants.
"Buzz!"
"Buzz!"
"Buzz!"
A slight sound of air being torn apart came from afar. A fine steel sword silently swept out from the snowstorm behind the black-robed man.
"Boom!"
The black-robed man turned around and activated his Celestial Phenomenon cultivation as he charged towards the sword.
However, the scene that he had imagined did not happen. The ordinary steel sword easily destroyed the black-robed man's palm wind.
"Tsk!"
The sword did not slow down at all as it stabbed toward the black-robed man.
"Get lost."
The black-robed figure spoke as he waved his sleeves, causing his zhenqi to surge as he pushed his Celestial Phenomenon cultivation to the limit.
"Boom!"
He pointed his finger at the sword.
"Boom!"
In the next moment, a terrifying aura erupted from the longsword. The sword did not move at all, but the black-robed man was forced back a few steps.
Seeing this scene, the other black-robed man outside the True Martial Hall had a gloomy expression. In the hall, Empress Yin's smile disappeared.
Only Xu Rentu clapped his hands and cheered." The formation is huge. Unfortunately, it's not enough to take this king's head."”
Wang Zhonglou's tightly knitted brows also relaxed.
Originally, it was three Celestial Cultivation Grandmasters suppressing the two Wudang experts. Now, the long sword that flew up from the foot of the mountain pulled the situation back into Xu Rentu's hands.
The black-robed man raised his cultivation to 120%, but he still could not shake off this long sword. The sword edge followed him like a shadow, and the terrifying sword will suppressed him.
"Which expert is attacking? Please show yourself.”
The black-robed man spoke. With the support of his thick internal strength, his words spread throughout the mountain and down the mountain, but no one responded.
Only that ordinary steel sword made the black-robed man's heart sink to the bottom. He had a feeling that if he attacked again, this sword would cut down without hesitation.
There were only a few sword experts in the world, but no matter how he thought about it, he could not figure out who had used this sword.
"As expected, there's a backup plan."
In the distance, Lin Xuan, who saw this scene, muttered to himself and turned his head to look at the foot of the mountain. However, other than the snow that filled the sky, there was only the flames that soared into the sky.
"Good plan."
The old Daoist nodded.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
All of a sudden, the ground beneath his feet began to tremble. The snow rustled from the tremors, or it bounced up two to three feet high.
Even though the wind and snow were raging, it was difficult to conceal the sound of thunder coming from afar.
"The Northern Liang cavalry has arrived."
"The fish has already taken the bait, so it's naturally time to pull in the net."”
A fire dragon appeared at the end of his line of sight. Accompanied by the galloping of the cavalry, the dense torches lit up the night sky.
In front of the True Martial Hall
The Prince of Beiliang walked to the door and placed his hands behind his back. He looked down the mountain and said,"This king's cavalry has arrived."
He did not need to think to know what that deafening explosion was.
The expressions of the two black-robed men were extremely unsightly, and so was Zhu Yuyan.
The situation was completely in Xu Rentu's hands.
"Farewell."
Zhu Yuyan walked out of the True Martial Great Hall without looking back. She walked into the snow and disappeared in an instant.
"Sect Master Zhu, remember to prepare the tea. This king really wants to try the Yin Weed Sect's good tea.”
the crippled man said.
In an instant, killing intent erupted.
In the wind and snow
Zhu Yuyan paused for a moment before returning to normal. Her skirt fluttered as she flew down the mountain.
"Your Highness won this time."
The black-robed man snorted coldly and left without looking back.
The confrontation had ended, and the terrifying aura of a Celestial Phenomenon Grandmaster had also dissipated. Wudang Sect returned to its peaceful state.
"Weng weng weng"
The two swords floating in the air vibrated. One of them flew down the mountain while the other flew toward the Lotus Peak.
As for why he didn't keep these three Celestial Phenomenon Ascendants, there was no other reason. Celestial Phenomenon Ascendants were simply too strong.
They were so strong that they had to pay an extremely heavy price to kill a Celestial Phenomenon Ascendant, let alone three.
The Northern Liang's iron cavalry dominated the world. However, they did not have wings and could not fly. They could not display the strength of the cavalry on Mount Wudang.
If they really fought, Wudang would definitely be destroyed, and the best outcome would be both sides suffering.
In this way, even if Xu Rentu wanted to keep them, Wang Zhonglou would not agree.
Naturally, he could only let them leave.
"Good plan."
Wang Zhonglou stood up and said.
"What's good about it?"
The crippled man cursed," Luckily, I had a trick up my sleeve. I sent out three Celestial Cultivation Grandmasters at once. You really think highly of me."”
"I originally wanted to catch a small fish, but I didn't expect so many big fish to come.”
"You Barbarian Xu."
Wang Zhonglou: " None of the ten words that come out of your mouth are true.”
"Old Master Wang, you and I have known each other for so many years. Don't you know what kind of person I am?”
The crippled man grinned.
"It's time to close the net."
The Prince of Beiliang muttered.
"Master, are you alright?"
Lin Xuan stepped into the True Martial Hall and hurriedly asked.
"It's alright now."
Wang Zhonglou's gaze fell on him, and he immediately frowned.""How did you end up like this?"
"I was stabbed by a fish caught by the Prince of Beiliang."
Lin Xuan shrugged his shoulders and gave his master a look. The latter instantly understood and moistened his throat before saying loudly,"My good disciple, you have done a great service this time. Although you are heavily injured, you have defended the mountain gate, killed powerful enemies, and protected the Prince of Beiliang's family.
Don't worry, the Prince of Beiliang is a powerful figure. He will definitely treat you well. Otherwise, if this news gets out, you will definitely be laughed at by the world.”
"Do the two of you treat me as if I don't exist?”
The crippled man looked at the master and disciple who were singing a double act with a displeased expression.
"Ahem."
"Your Highness, look at the injuries all over my body. I'm afraid it won't make sense if I don't give you eight thousand taels of silver for the medicinal soup.”
"Sure."
Xu Rentu nodded." But I don't have so much silver on me. I need you to go to the Imperial Residence to get it."”
"It's fine. I still need to recuperate. I'll just let Master make a trip on behalf of me.”
Lin Xuan countered every move.
If he went to the Prince of Beiliang, would he still be able to come out? He was not a fool.
