King Wu, Ji Yanting, was very young. Among the princes, he was the youngest. He had just turned 20 this year, and his fief was rather pitiful. It was in Jiangnan.
To be honest, when Su Xin was in Jiangnan, he had never heard of a King Wu there. One could imagine how transparent this Master was.
Before Su Xin came, the Xiao family had basically covered the sky with one hand. It was impossible for Ji Yanting to expand his power.
After the Crown Prince and the rest were deposed, the Jiangnan became a place where Su Xin and the Xiao family divided the world. He could not interfere either.
Ji Yanting had already given up. He thought that he would be an idle Master for the rest of his life. So when the Xiao family came to him and wanted to support him to become the king of the Zhou Kingdom, Ji Yanting immediately chose to reject them.
It was not that he did not want the throne, but that he had completely given up and did not want to fight for it.
Unexpectedly, his act of abandoning himself to despair saved his life. The Xiao family turned to the other princes to be their puppets. In the end, everyone saw what happened. Those people were still in the Imperial Clan Court, and no one knew if they were dead or alive.
Ji Yanting had been gloating a lot because of this. Later, when Xi Jian Pavilion came to him, Ji Yanting was really tempted.
At that time, Ji Xuanyuan and the other people in power in the Zhou Kingdom had made it clear that as long as they did not do anything to harm the interests of the Zhou Kingdom, it was fine to ally with the sects.
The people in charge of Xi Jian Pavilion were not idiots. Naturally, they did not dare to have any ideas about the Zhou Kingdom. They had already told Ji Yanting that after this matter, they only wanted the support of the Zhou Kingdom. It did not matter if the Zhou Kingdom still wanted to ally with them after they became one of the Five Sword Sects. Anyway, they only wanted the position of one of the Five Sword Sects.
The gate of the King of Shu's side courtyard was pushed open, and a group of warriors walked out.
Ji Yanxiu said coldly, "Imperial Brother, are you that impatient to make a move so soon?"
Ji Yanting shook his head and said, "Imperial Brother, you are wrong. It's not that I can't wait, it's that the Zhou Kingdom can't wait. As the saying goes, a country cannot be without a ruler for a day. It's better for us to confirm the position of Crown Prince as soon as possible.
Ji Yanxiu narrowed her eyes and said, "There is an order of seniority. Is the throne something you can covet?"
"Hahaha!" Ji Yanting immediately laughed maniacally, "Royal Brother, be more realistic. What order of seniority? It's all bullshit!
If it really is an order of seniority, then where is my brother the Crown Prince right now?
Right now, I'll give you a chance. Hand over your command token and the command token you stole. In the future, the Sichuan Path will still be your fief. I won't even touch your subordinates. I'll leave them all for you.
But if you don't know what's good for you, Imperial Brother, I'm afraid you won't even be able to be an idle Master in the future! "
Ji Yanting's words were filled with killing intent, but Ji Yanxiu was very disdainful.
Although he didn't think that he was very strong, he was at least better than Ji Yanting, who was arrogant and conceited.
He wasn't even on the throne yet, and he was already so arrogant. If he sat on the throne, would the other princes still have a way out?
However, Ji Yanting didn't give him much time to think. He snorted and said, "Senior Xiang Chong, please make your move. Remember, don't hurt my Imperial Brother. Otherwise, the people from the Imperial Clan Court will come looking for trouble."
A handsome middle-aged man behind him nodded and said with a calm expression, "Don't worry, Your Highness. We know the rules. We don't care about a martial artist from a remote place like the Sichuan Path."
This middle-aged man was the Grand Elder of the Xi Jian Pavilion, 'Cold Moon Sword' Xiang Chong. He could be said to be the strongest Harmonious Spirit Realm martial artist in the Xi Jian Pavilion.
The fact that the Xi Jian Pavilion had sent him here proved that the Xi Jian Pavilion was indeed serious this time.
Wen Yu pulled out the dagger in his left hand. His eyes flashed with killing intent.
What Ji Yanxiu lacked was someone who could help him understand the situation and give him advice.
Wen Yu used to follow Ji Yanxiu's grandfather, the Marquis of Huaishan, to conquer the country. He was also considered a general. In the 49 paths of the Zhou Kingdom, he was also a general manager.
However, a general was still a general. He wasn't a general who could command the whole situation. Therefore, he was very distressed by Ji Yanxiu's schemes. In fact, he was more used to using the dagger in his hand to do the talking.
Wen Yu slashed out with his dagger. Pure Yang Astral Qi exploded. It was majestic and powerful.
Wen Yu's Pure Yang Astral Qi was already very strong when he was in the Transformed Spirit Realm. Now that he was in the Harmonious Spirit Realm, his Pure Yang Astral Qi was close to completion.
On the other hand, Xiang Chong, the 'Cold Moon Sword' of the Xi Jian Pavilion, was the opposite. His sword momentum was cold and elegant. Compared to Wen Yu, one was quiet while the other was moving. One was cold while the other was hot. Both sides were evenly matched.
At this time, the people from the Shu King's Mansion also began to fight with the people from the Xi Jian Pavilion. Both sides directly fought, and the explosive Astral Qi directly destroyed the long street in an instant.
The more Wen Yu fought, the more flustered he became. It wasn't because he couldn't defeat Xiang Chong, but because the people from the Shu King's Mansion below were no match for them!
Compared to a sect like the Xi Jian Pavilion, which obeyed orders strictly, the people from the Shu King's Mansion could only be regarded as a motley crew.
After all, these people were all rogue cultivators. There was no cooperation at all. No one was in charge of the overall situation. As a result, they were directly suppressed by the people from the Xi Jian Pavilion and were forced to retreat step by step. They had no strength to resist at all. Some of them were even injured.
Wen Yu gritted his teeth, and a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes. His right hand suddenly moved, and a slender miaodao appeared in his hand. Like a venomous snake, it tore through the void and slashed towards Xiang Chong.
Wen Yu, who had been using a fierce and imposing left-handed saber, suddenly made such a move. This caught Xiang Chong off guard.
However, on his long sword, a moonlight suddenly rippled out. It was extremely cold, and the sword shadow was hazy and divided into thousands of pieces. Only then did he block Wen Yu's saber.
In terms of strength, Xiang Chong was really no match for Wen Yu, who came from a battle formation.
However, even so, he would not be defeated by Wen Yu so easily. Now was the time to compete in comprehensive strength, and the people from the Xi Jian Pavilion were about to win.
But at this moment, Xiang Chong suddenly felt a murderous intent coming towards him. The whistling sound of an arrow was heard. The most terrifying thing was that even with his perception, he could not detect where the murderous intent was coming from.
In great shock, Xiang Chong also exerted his strength to the extreme.
With a swing of the long sword in his hand, he suddenly broke free from Wen Yu's entanglement. His Qi and blood began to burn wildly, and a cold blood moon appeared behind him. Even Xiang Chong's eyes turned blood red.
This was not the cultivation method of the Xi Jian Pavilion, but a secret method that Xiang Chong had obtained when he was wandering outside in his early years. It was not a righteous path, but it was not a demonic path either. It should belong to the evil path.
After burning his essence and blood to use this secret method, Xiang Chong finally realized where the murderous intent was coming from.
A long arrow tore through the void and was aimed at his back. It was less than a hundred feet away from him, but at this moment, he heard the sound of a bowstring exploding!
The sword light flowed, and the blood moon rose into the sky. Xiang Chong's vital energy and Qi and blood were burning wildly. When the sword fell, although the arrow was cut down by him, the supreme-grade Earth-rank long sword in his hand shattered with a loud bang!
Xiang Chong spat out a mouthful of blood and was sent flying more than ten feet away. Only then did he manage to stabilize himself and look forward with a horrified gaze.
At this moment, the people of the Xi Jian Pavilion and the King of Shu's Residence did the same. They all stopped and looked in the direction from which they had come.
They saw a figure holding a long bow and dressed in the official robes of the Six Fan School walking slowly towards them on the long street. Every step he took was accompanied by a strange rhythm. When his footsteps landed, they felt as if they were stepping on their hearts, causing their faces to flush red as if they were about to spit out blood at any time.
Xiang Chong's eyes widened and he said in a trembling voice, "Heaven-stealing Bow, Sad Arrow, you are Su Xin!"
It was easy to recognize Su Xin, whether it was his cultivation technique or his person. However, Xiang Chong did not expect that the person who suddenly attacked would be Su Xin. Moreover, he did not expect that Su Xin's strength would be so terrifying, even more terrifying than the legends!
They were both at the Harmonious Soul Realm, but he was actually not his match. When the Heart-Wrenching Arrow shot at him just now, he really felt the fear of death shrouding his heart. If he didn't have a life-risking secret technique, he would have become a dead soul under that Heart-Wrenching Arrow!
Although Su Xin had come alone, it was as if he alone was comparable to a magnificent army. With one arrow, he had seriously injured Xiang Chong, the Great Elder of the Sword Washing Pavilion. This kind of strength could be said to be amazing.
Ji Yanting's expression was very ugly. To be honest, he really did not expect that Su Xin would actually come.
Many people knew that Su Xin had once helped Ji Yanxiu in the Bashu Path. At the beginning of the fight for the throne, they were also worried that Su Xin would interfere and help Ji Yanxiu.
However, three days had passed, and even when everyone had already started to make their move, Su Xin still did not appear. This made the other princes heave a sigh of relief, thinking that Su Xin intended to remain neutral and not make a move.
However, who would have thought that he would still make a move. Moreover, he did not use the power of his subordinates, the Six Doors of Shengjing City. He only relied on himself and an arrow to instantly turn the situation around.
Lou Quanzhong, who was standing beside Ji Yanxiu to protect her, revealed a trace of jealousy in his eyes. They were all from the underworld, but why did this Su Xin have such strength and power at such a young age? He, Lou Quanzhong, had wasted half his life in the Bashu Path to find such an opportunity. Moreover, he had to rely on himself to fight?
Lou Quanzhong was a little unconvinced, but unfortunately, this was fate. He had no choice but to accept it.
Moreover, Ji Yanxiu, who was standing in front of him, did not notice his expression at this moment. This was because Ji Yanxiu's attention was currently on Su Xin. He could not help but laugh three times.
Listening to Wen Yu's suggestion to rope in Su Xin was indeed not a mistake. With Su Xin around, his chances of seizing the throne would at least increase by 70%!
