Li Xiaotian was good at using bows and arrows, which was also why she had always coveted the Heaven-shocking Bow and the Shooting Sun Arrows.
At this moment, the arrow in her hand was not a Shooting Sun Arrow. She only had one Shooting Sun Arrow, and unless she had no other choice, she would definitely not use this Divine Armament.
Weng!
With a release of his finger, the arrow flew out. The surging airflow stirred up the air in all directions, causing the bamboo leaves to rustle non-stop.
Ding!
With a crisp sound, the arrow hit a green bamboo. However, a strange scene happened.
The green bamboo was undamaged. It was only bent in a large arc by the force of the bow and arrow. Then, it quickly bounced back, still piercing through the sky.
Li Xiaotian's pupils constricted as he looked at this scene in disbelief. This was just a green bamboo, how could it block such a powerful arrow attack?
There must be a demon when things are abnormal!
She felt more and more that this Sword Forest was strange. Not only did it block her path and confuse her direction, even this kind of attack was unable to harm the green bamboo in the slightest.
She gradually began to believe the legends about the Sword Forest. There really was some kind of mysterious power that could not be explained clearly.
"A small country like this actually has such a magical place. It's strange." Li Xiaotian shook her head. She was very puzzled.
"Hmph, so what if it's magical? I don't believe that a living person like me will be trapped in this bamboo forest to death."
Li Xiaotian's prideful nature erupted. How could she admit defeat to the bamboo forest? Wouldn't that make people laugh their heads off?
Thus, she took a deep breath and pulled the bowstring again. Waves of inner strength passed through her arm and into the bowstring. The bowstring was pulled into a full moon, and the arrowhead shone with a cold light under the moonlight.
Swoosh!
The arrow left the line, and the air seemed to be torn apart, producing a sharp sound of breaking through the air.
Boom!
A green bamboo was hit once again, and the berserk force directly pressed it to the ground.
"Hmph, I think you're still going on like this." Li Xiaotian's eyes revealed a trace of complacency.
However, in the next second, her face froze. Her eyes were wide open as she stared straight at the green bamboo.
The bamboo that had fallen to the ground just now bounced back, as if nothing had happened. It was still proud and straight.
"This …" Li Xiaotian was dumbfounded.
He had never seen or heard of such a situation before.
Was this still an ordinary green bamboo?
She quickly stroked the bamboo pole beside her, but there was nothing strange. Wasn't this just ordinary bamboo?
But since when did bamboo have such a strong ability to withstand attacks?
"What the devil, what the devil!" She couldn't help but exclaim.
She looked up at the bright moon hanging high in the sky. Although she was very unwilling, she had to admit that she was trapped in this forest of swords.
Inside the wooden hut, the Imperial Preceptor and Junko were talking. The Imperial Preceptor was still hidden in the darkness, and his face couldn't be seen clearly. However, his thin and small body made people feel an inexplicable pressure.
Junko had long since gotten used to this kind of aura and pressure. She even felt a sense of familiarity. The two of them chatted as time slowly passed.
Junko spent most of her time listening and comprehending the Imperial Preceptor's profound meaning and instructions.
When the Imperial Preceptor finally stopped, Junko asked, "Imperial Preceptor, are we really going to do this?"
"Those people are imprisoned, and even I can't release them. Therefore, this matter is no longer under my control. This is the only feasible way." The Imperial Preceptor said somewhat vexedly.
Although Junko was surprised that the Imperial Preceptor said that even he couldn't control this matter, she didn't ask further. Since the Imperial Preceptor didn't say anything, she naturally wouldn't ask. This was a habit cultivated over many years.
However, she still frowned and said worriedly, "But if we do this, then this matter will really blow up and we might even suffer heavy losses."
"There will be losses in everything. We just have to think of a way to remedy it." The Imperial Preceptor said disapprovingly.
Junko wanted to say something but hesitated. But in the end, she swallowed her words. Since the Imperial Preceptor had already made a decision, then she should wholeheartedly carry it out. There was no room for negotiation.
"Yes, Junko understands." Junko nodded in acknowledgment.
Suddenly, the Imperial Preceptor exclaimed in surprise. His voice became somewhat cold. "Someone has broken into the forest of swords."
"Who is so bold?" Junko glared and flew into a rage.
The forest of swords was an important place in the Imperial Preceptor's residence. For so many years, no one had ever dared to trespass into the forest of swords.
Suddenly, her heart stirred as she remembered that familiar face. She said angrily, "Is it Li Xiaotian?"
The Imperial Preceptor said calmly, "It's most likely her. Go and bring her out, otherwise she will definitely be trapped in the forest of swords."
"Serves her right! She only has herself to blame. "Junko said with a murderous look.
"Bring her out." The Imperial Preceptor repeated.
Junko's angry words were immediately swallowed back. The Imperial Preceptor had already repeated the order. If she dared to talk nonsense then the consequences would be very serious.
Junko left the cabin, leaving the Imperial Preceptor alone. He quietly hid in the darkness and muttered to himself. "Li Palace, I'm afraid you didn't expect to send me such a big gift like Tang Zheng. As long as I have him, many of Hua Xia's long lost techniques will be able to see the light of day again. As long as I learn these techniques, I will be able to perfect my ninjutsu and bring it to a new peak. Completely surpassing Hua Xia's techniques will be just around the corner. At that time, the Empire will rise again in the forest of the world. Hua Xia and other countries will crawl under our feet, allowing the Empire to complete the unfinished business of our ancestors."
His words gradually revealed a sense of madness. It made people tremble in fear.
Li Xiaotian had already used all of her skills, but she still couldn't break out of this forest of swords. Her martial arts were like scratching an itch, unable to hurt the slightest bit of the forest of swords.
"Could it be that they really want to force me to use the Shooting Sun Arrows?" She touched the Shooting Sun Arrows that she always carried on her back.
The Shooting Sun Arrows were divine weapons. They couldn't be easily shown to others, so as to avoid attracting the disaster of killing monks.
But now that she was trapped in this damned forest, she was so angry that she was ready to use the Shooting Sun Arrows.
She didn't believe that these cabinets could withstand the power of the Shooting Sun Arrows. It must be known that the Shooting Sun Arrows were used to shoot down the sun.
Just as she was about to make up her mind, a person's figure became clear under the moonlight. It gradually approached and finally arrived in front of Li Xiaotian.
Junko looked at Li Xiaotian with an unkind expression and said coldly, "You trespassed into the forest of swords. That is a capital offense."
Li Xiaotian was unmoved and said indifferently, "Then are you here to kill me?"
"Humph, the State Teacher is merciful and has given you a way out. If you dare to run amok again, then I guarantee you will regret it." Junko's killing intent soared. With her temper, she really wanted to kill Li Xiaotian on the spot.
But she didn't dare to disobey the State Teacher's orders.
Li Xiaotian shrugged and smiled indifferently. She strode in the direction Junko came from and left the forest of swords in a short while.
Junko followed behind her step by step, monitoring her and preventing her from causing any trouble.
Li Xiaotian quietly returned to her room. Junko stood outside for a long time before turning around and leaving.
Li Xiaotian lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling with her eyes wide open. Hundreds of thoughts ran through her mind.
"The State Teacher's residence is more mysterious than I expected. Especially in the forest of swords, the strangeness and mystery is far beyond my imagination. I must get to the bottom of it. These years, although the Island nation and Hua Xia coexisted peacefully, a dog can't stop itself from eating shit. This is a truth that has been proven for thousands of years. If the Island nation continues to grow stronger, they will definitely rise again and stir up more storms. "
Li Xiaotian's understanding was clear and deep. She didn't really treat the State Teacher's residence as a little sheep just because of their temporary close relationship.
The Island nation was like a poisonous snake, always waiting for an opportunity to strike. As long as the other party was given the chance, they would take a fatal bite.
"After returning to the Li Palace this time, I must ask the Palace Master about this matter."
The cooperation between the Li Palace and the State Teacher's residence puzzled Li Xiaotian and even made her somewhat dissatisfied. Her thoughts were more flexible than Junko's.
Although the Palace Master didn't tell her the truth, she still wanted to know the ins and outs of the matter.
The next day.
Junko left the State Teacher's residence alone, but she didn't notice that Li Xiaotian was following her from a distance.
Li Xiaotian was good at hiding her tracks, so she followed from a distance to find out where Junko was going.
Based on her intuition, she was sure that Junko was going on some secret operation. She had been in the State Teacher's residence for a few days, but she had been doing nothing and making no progress. This made her very frightened and dissatisfied.
Back then, the Palace Master only told her to act according to the circumstances and didn't give her any specific arrangements. Her operation this time was more like an experience.
Li Xiaotian wasn't someone who spent her days muddling along. Since she was here, she naturally had to get to the bottom of everything.
Junko was as fast as a shooting star. It didn't take long for her to arrive at the place where she and Tang Zheng had agreed to meet yesterday. Looking up, there was no one around.
"Did he go back on his words?" Junko frowned.
"Why would I go back on my words?" A voice suddenly rang in Junko's ears. She was startled and subconsciously jumped to the side, staring at him like a tiger watching its prey. She didn't know how he could appear and disappear so mysteriously.
"Did you bring the information I asked for?" Tang Zheng asked.
Junko's expression was stern. "I have to see the Emperor first before I can tell you the information."
"Hehe, are you afraid that I'll lie to you?"
"One must always be on guard against others."
"These are the rules of the game that I set. You have no right to bargain." Tang Zheng slightly frowned and said with dissatisfaction.
"Then there's nothing to talk about." Junko's attitude was very firm. "If I can't see the Emperor, then there's nothing to talk about."
"You're not afraid that I'll kill him!" Tang Zheng said fiercely.
"Don't scare me. If you kill him, then you won't know anything about those people." Junko joked.
Tang Zheng's eyelids twitched. If that was the case, then she really did know about Wu Junshan and the others.
Compared to the Mikado, he cared more about the safety of these people. Obviously, Junko was also very clear about this, so she refused to let it go.
"Fine, then I'll let you see the Emperor. If you dare to lie to me, then I'll immediately behead him." Tang Zheng said decisively.
