He poured himself a cup of water and sat upright, saying, "The Penglai Sect rarely interacts with the outside world. It's all thanks to their Five Islands Formation that they're able to establish themselves in the cultivation world. For some reason, their formation had malfunctioned. The floating island was the core island of Penglai. This island was hundreds of meters long and its weight was immeasurable. It relies on a powerful formation to float in the air … If this island sinks to the bottom of the sea, the other four islands will follow suit. "
At this point, he noticed the others around him were talking as well. He smiled and said, "Alas, the Penglai Sect doesn't have any allies. The Island Master, Huang Shijie, is an Eight-leaf expert. He's invited the other sects to help him. Alas, those with wild ambitions are trying to take advantage of the situation and want the floating island to fall. Old Villain Ji is one of them."
"When the floating island sank, the four islands were in chaos, and Huang Shijie wasn't there."
"Hence, the Evil Sky Pavilion's Patriarch killed the Taixu Academy's Jiang Lizhi with a single strike while he was at the Nine-leaf stage. Then, he lifted the floating island with a single palm and rose 100 meters into the air to intimidate the others. Seize the Golden Taixu Mirror and take the Penglai Heavenly Book for yourself. "
The teahouse was in an uproar.
Many people had heard it many times, but they would never get tired of it.
The green-robed swordsman smiled and said, "How do you know so much?"
"I've always admired the Evil Sky Pavilion. That's why I pay attention to any news about the Evil Sky Pavilion," the man said with a faint smile.
The green-robed swordsman nodded.
The man's gaze fell on the green-robed swordsman's scabbard. He said with a smile, "The sword in your hand is slightly similar to the sword wielded by the Evil Sky Pavilion's Yu Shangrong."
"Is that so?" The green-robed swordsman glanced at him.
"Of course … I heard that the Sword Devil has returned and made a new death list. It's in Yuzhou City …" the man said.
"Friend, do you know him very well?" The green-robed swordsman was still very gentle.
The man put down his teacup and chuckled. "I've only heard of it."
"Then do you know … that you're already on his death list?" The green-robed swordsman smiled indifferently.
"Hmm?"
Buzz.
Buzz.
The sword in the green-robed swordsman's hand trembled slightly.
The man was startled. He raised his head and looked at the green-robed swordsman.
The green-robed swordsman said, "Rat King, Li Cang … I'm sorry, your time is up."
The Rat King, Li Cang, suddenly opened his eyes wide. He instantly understood who the cultured and elegant green-robed swordsman sitting in front of him was. His lips trembled as he cried out involuntarily, "Sword Demon!"
Zeng!
The Longevity Sword was unsheathed!
The energy sword swung with all its might at lightning speed.
The rune energy flickered and a cold light appeared.
Chi!
Zeng!
The Longevity Sword returned to its sheath.
Everything returned to silence.
It was as if nothing had happened.
This set of movements was completed in the blink of an eye.
After the Longevity Sword returned to its scabbard, a weak stream of energy entered the scabbard and returned to silence.
The surroundings were as lively as ever.
What should be said was said, and what should be laughed was laughed.
Everything was as usual.
…
Yu Shangrong picked up his teacup and took a sip before he put it down again. He glanced at Rat King Li Cang who was seated across him.
He smiled and said, "Goodbye."
Even after Yu Shangrong went down the stairs and was out of sight, the Rat King, Li Cang, remained motionless.
His eyes were squinted and had not opened in time, but his eyes were filled with surprise and fear.
His mouth was slightly agape. He did not know what to say.
Rat King Li Cang was the Yu Province's garrison general. He was the number one spy.
He was skilled in gathering information, infiltrating enemy camps, and creating opportunities. He was one of the eight great generals, Ji Qingqing's right-hand men!
Usually, he kept a low profile in the teahouse.
He only listened to other people's bragging and stories. However, he had spoken too much today. He did not expect to run into the Evil Sky Pavilion's Yu Shangrong.
Alas …
It was too late.
After what seemed like hours, the teahouse's waiter finally came to pack up.
"Sir … sir?"
When he saw Rat King Li Cang did not respond, the waiter waved his hand in front of Li Cang.
There was still no response.
Hence, he poked Li Cang with his finger.
Rat King Li Cang's body stiffened and fell backward.
Thud!
At this moment, a slit appeared on his neck. Blood trickled down.
"Murder!"
"Murder!"
…
In the General's Mansion in Jing Province.
Yu Zhenghai and Si Wuya were discussing the next step of their plan.
He bowed and said, "Reporting to the Cult Leader, Mister Seventh. The Rat King of Yu Province, Li Cang, was killed. A sword right in front of your face … "
As he spoke, he made a horizontal slashing motion across his neck.
"How many is this?" Yu Zhenghai asked with his hands on his back.
"The fifth one this month … The Yu Province's garrison general is one of the eight generals from the Divine Capital, Ji Qingqing. All five of them are her subordinates, "Hua Chongyang said.
Yu Zhenghai said.
"Including General Wen Shu, there are a total of six people. Where did this person come from? Are there any clues? "
Hua Chongyang shook his head and said, "This person imitated Mister Second and made a name list. Every few days, he would add names to it. Compared to Mister Second's death list, the difference is that this death list is more of a deterrent. Those who leave Yu Province can live, but those who refuse to come to their senses will be killed without mercy. "
"Interesting, interesting … If I can meet such an interesting person in the future, I'll definitely become sworn brothers with him!" Yu Zhenghai laughed heartily.
Si Wuya said, "Could it be Second Senior Brother?"
Yu Zhenghai's expression turned stern as he said, "Him?"
"Under the heavens, I'm afraid Second Senior Brother is the only one who can kill his opponent face to face." At this point, Si Wuya hastily added, "Of course, Eldest Senior Brother can do it as well. In fact, he might even be better."
"Wise brother, do you really think it's him?" Yu Zhenghai turned around and looked at Si Wuya.
Si Wuya was taken aback. He said, "Perhaps, I'm overthinking it."
"I think so too."
Hua Chongyang understood what Si Wuya was trying to say. He bowed and said, "I have another report."
"Let's hear it."
Hua Chongyang produced a stack of papers and said, "News of Senior Ji holding up the floating island with a single hand has been spreading. Based on the current situation, it doesn't seem to be fake."
Yu Zhenghai received the papers and read them.
They were all folk songs, limericks, and the like.
After reading them, Yu Zhenghai tossed the papers on the table and said with a smile, "Whether it's true or not, this is good news for us. With the Evil Sky Pavilion as a deterrent, the cultivators in Great Yan won't simply interfere with the matters between the Nether Sect and the Imperial family. "
Si Wuya said.
"But, Eldest Senior Brother, master doesn't like you using the Evil Sky Pavilion's name …"
Yu Zhenghai shook his head and said, "Wise brother … You've always been smart, but this time, you're a fool."
Si Wuya was puzzled.
Yu Zhenghai said shamelessly, "Master clearly wants to settle the score with me … Since things have come to this, why don't we see it through to the end?"
"…"
Since he was going to be beaten and punished anyway, it was the same result even if he didn't do it, so he might as well do it.
Hua Chongyang said, "Island Master Huang heard that Senior Ji supported the island with his palm, so he rushed back without stopping."
Yu Zhenghai nodded.
Huang Shijie had been helping the Nether Sect a lot lately. Penglai Island was in trouble, but he was helping the Nether Sect. From a moral point of view, it was enough.
"Got it."
At the same time, this also meant that he would lose a great help in taking down Yu Province.
However, with the help of the mysterious expert in the dark, the pressure was reduced a lot.
…
Moonlight Woodland, in the abyss.
There was no sunrise or sunset to calculate the time, so he could only rely on his intuition.
After an unknown period of time, Ye Tianxin felt that her Dantian's Sea of Qi was full.
He slowly opened his eyes.
