In the southeast corner of Lanyan City's Ze Tian Palace, there was a small military camp. Soldiers dressed in dark blue imperial military uniforms were training with long spears in their hands. Horses galloped as a group of cavalrymen passed through the camp, holding blood-red patrolling flags in their hands. Other than the shouts of training, there was no sound in the camp. It was a scene of desolation.
Military police camp, the place in charge of military law in the entire Imperial Capital.
On the road paved with green and blue bricks, a patrolling duty officer flew in with a letter in his hand. He knelt on one knee and said respectfully, "Commander Daren, a letter from Cangnan Province!"
Two rows of military officers stood respectfully on both sides. Behind the main officer's desk, a youth with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes was looking at the map on the paper roll. He was wearing a high ranking military officer's uniform with three golden stars on his collar. That was the military rank of the Imperial Commander.
This person was none other than the commander of the Imperial Military Barracks, Xiang Yu. At a young age, he was able to sit in the commander's position and was in charge of the military law of the entire army. Moreover, his identity was quite deep as he was the descendant of the Imperial God of War, Xiang Wentian. It was because of this that almost everyone in the Imperial Army was somewhat afraid of him. Of course, Xiang Yu's most feared part was his Bloodbath Spear. Xiang Yu's cultivation was inherited from Xiang Wentian and he could be said to be the most intelligent and brave general in the Imperial Army.
"Another letter from Cangnan Province?" Xiang Yu asked with a slight smile, "Could it be that Jiujiu still wants me to arrest that Lin Muyu?"
The duty officer shook his head, "This subordinate does not know!"
Xiang Yu took Yu Yu's letter and scanned through it. He could not help but frown and said, "Cangnan Province has mobilized tens of thousands of troops and still could not find him. They also suspect that Lin Muyu has already infiltrated the Imperial Capital. What does everyone think should be done?"
A high-ranking officer cupped his fists and said, "Commander, why don't we conduct a carpet search in the Imperial Capital?"
"No."
Xiang Yu waved his hand, "Firstly, this is too much of a large force. Once His Majesty is alarmed, we may not be able to bear the consequences. Secondly, even though our Military Barracks is in charge of the three armies, our military strength is after all limited with only two thousand people. It is impossible to conduct a carpet search. Not only would it be a large force, it would also be futile."
"Then … Commander, do you have any brilliant moves?"
The corners of Xiang Yu's mouth curled up, and he said with a smile, "Can't say brilliant move. You guys follow me, we're making a trip to the Imperial Army's main camp. Haven't seen Commander Feng Jixing for a long time. Heh … I was just thinking of exchanging pointers with him! It just so happens that Feng Jixing's thirty thousand Imperial Guards are in charge of this matter. We must capture Lin Muyu as soon as possible. Otherwise, Uncle will keep nagging us. "
The deputy general had a smile on his face. "Lord Commander is brilliant. This subordinate admires you!"
…
Holy Palace. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the buildings of the Holy Palace, casting the statue of the God of War 'Xiang Wentian' on the top of the Holy Palace on the ground. It was extremely long, as though it was about to cover the entire side palace.
Lin Muyu passed through the main hall and went straight to the side palace. From afar, she saw Tang Xiaoxi dressed in a fiery red dress. Tang Xiaoxi's martial soul was the Fire Fox, and her dress was also inclined towards red. As a result, even when she was wearing a snow-white dress, it would be embellished with fiery-red purple flowers as accessories. Moreover, Princess Xi was not lacking in money. Her dress seemed to change every day, and it was simply the envy of all the noble ladies in the Imperial Capital.
"Mu!"
Tang Xiaoxi saw Lin Muyu at a glance. She ran over gracefully with a happy smile on her face. "Why are you only back now? Lord Zhang Wei has been out for so long!"
Lin Muyu laughed awkwardly. "I had some matters to attend to. Moreover, why didn't you tell me that you were coming?"
Zhang Wei scratched the back of his head and laughed. "Princess, I went to the trading company once, and then to the weapon shop, but I couldn't find Lord Lin Zhi. In the end, I only found him in the Spiritual Medicine Department!"
Tang Xiaoxi laughed lightly. "Then I'll have to trouble Lord Zhang Wei. You should quickly go and rest. Leave him to me."
Zhang Wei looked at Lin Muyu with an ambiguous smile. He lightly bumped his fist on her chest and laughed. "Lord Lin Zhi has to take good care of Princess Xi. Don't forget our Holy Palace's etiquette."
Lin Muyu glared at him, then watched as Zhang Wei laughed and left.
… …
"Xiao Xi, why are you looking for me this time?" Lin Muyu asked.
Tang Xiaoxi grunted and said, "Have you forgotten? There are only three days left before the Upper Xi Festival. The Upper Xi Festival is one of the most important festivals in the Empire. Didn't we agree to celebrate the Upper Xi Festival together? Have you really forgotten? "
"Ah, no, I really haven't!"
"Hmph!" Tang Xiaoxi had a look of 'I'd be a fool if I believed you'. She said, "Anyway, you must go. I have already booked the top floor of the Tingyu Pavilion. I have also invited many good friends. Imperial Guard Commander Feng Jixing, Imperial Guard Chu Huaiying, and Imperial Guard Commander Qin Lei will all be attending. You must go!"
"Hmm, alright …" Lin Muyu agreed.
Tang Xiaoxi pouted. "Why do you look so unhappy? Hmph, I knew it. You are worried that the beautiful pharmacist Chu Yao from the Spiritual Medicine Department doesn't have an invitation, right? Don't worry, I have given Chu Huaiying two invitations. He will pass one to Chu Yao. You … only have Sister Chu Yao in your heart, right? "
Lin Muyu looked at her like a girl fighting for attention and couldn't help but laugh. "Xiao Xi, you are a princess. How can you be calculative with Sister Chu Yao? She is just a pharmacist."
"Alright, no matter what, you are in the right." Tang Xiaoxi crossed her arms in front of her chest, squeezing her breasts. She pouted and said, "Mu, what have you been busy with these days? It seems that your cultivation has improved again. Let me see the results of your cultivation these days. How about it? "
Lin Muyu was stunned. "Do I really want to see?"
"Yes!"
"Alright then. If Xiao Xi wants to see, I will let you see. I have created a few moves that I haven't named yet. Help me think of a name."
"Yes, yes, I brought some food. I'll watch your demonstration after I eat." Tang Xiaoxi cheered.
"Okay!"
…
Tang Xiaoxi brought some delicacies and a bottle of fresh and elegant wine. After eating a little, Lin Muyu took her to her cultivation room. Tang Xiaoxi's guards followed closely behind. They were all young and strong martial artists between the ages of 20 to 35. They looked at Lin Muyu fiercely, as if saying, "If you dare to kidnap the princess, we will fight you to the death."
When they arrived outside the courtyard, Tang Xiaoxi turned around and said to the guards, "Okay, I will go in with Mu. You guys wait outside."
One of the guards cupped his fists and said, "Princess, this doesn't seem very good …"
Tang Xiaoxi raised her eyebrows. "What's not good about it? Will Mu eat me? "
The bodyguard had a helpless look on his face. He was afraid that this kid would eat this delicacy of his! However, he did not dare to say it out loud. He only said respectfully, "Yes, we will wait outside. If the princess doesn't come out, we will not leave."
"Okay!"
Tang Xiaoxi happily followed Lin Muyu into the courtyard and closed the door behind her. It was a taboo to peek at someone else's cultivation in the Empire because it was suspected of stealing someone's skills. Of course, Lei Hong's behavior of peeking at Lin Muyu's cultivation was not counted as such. After all, he was already so old and shameless.
…
The courtyard was very spacious. There were a few rockery and a lotus pond.
"Alright, let me see your results!" Tang Xiaoxi couldn't wait any longer. She leaped over and sat on a section of the railing as she said with a smile.
Lin Muyu nodded.
The heart of the sword flashed in his mind. He raised one hand slightly. Suddenly, the Burning Prairie Sword on his back came out of its sheath with a clang. It hung in the air and let out a faint sword sound. This was the basic ability of using the heart to control the sword.
Tang Xiaoxi was stunned. Her small mouth slightly opened. "Sword Control Technique?! What a guy … "
Lin Muyu laughed. His ability was not limited to the sword control technique.
Thinking of this, she suddenly let out a low grunt. True Qi surged and turned into lightning that seeped into her palms. The lightning formed countless dazzling chains that connected the Burning Prairie Sword and her palms. Lin Muyu controlled her strength and speed and suddenly launched an attack. Suddenly, the Burning Prairie Sword pierced into the distance with lightning speed!
"Peng!"
A stone pillar suddenly split into two. This attack was simple and violent. It was a technique created by Lin Mu Yu by combining the [Lightning Strike] and [Sword of Lightning] techniques. Its specialty was its speed and strength. It was able to launch a sudden attack within a second. Most people would not be able to defend themselves in time. Furthermore, he had been practicing this technique in secret. Even the Sword Elder did not know about it!
The sword elder was worried that this kid would surpass his master. However, he did not know that in some aspects, this kid had already surpassed him!
"Wow …"
Tang Xiaoxi opened her small mouth and said, "Mu … Is this the move that Grandpa Qu Chu's Lightning Strike evolved from?"
"Yes, it is a fusion of the Sword Control Technique. Xiao Xi, can you name it?" He said with a smile.
"Let's call it Thunder Wave?" Tang Xiaoxi chuckled.
"Yes, good name. It is very appropriate!"
"Is there anything else?"
"Yes!"
Lin Muyu gently opened one of her palms. A light wind surged in her palm. Between stillness and movement, streams of air lingered around the Burning Prairie Sword. Slowly, it formed a small storm. Lin Muyu muttered to herself. She pushed her palm forward. "Peng!" With the storm and the Burning Prairie Sword as the core, it directly smashed a boulder into pieces!
"Heavens!"
Tang Xiaoxi could no longer sit still. She jumped down from the railing. Her face was filled with shock, "Such a strong destructive power!"
Lin Muyu's body was still surrounded by the air. She smiled and said, "After comprehending the Heart of the Sword, I tried to harmonize with the wind laws in the air. However, I did not expect that the power would be so great. This, I call it the Sword Control Technique. Its power is impressive. However, the disadvantage is that it takes time to accumulate a strong wind force. In a real battle, it is very difficult to make a difference."
Tang Xiaoxi smiled and nodded, "Yes, this move should be named 'Wind Break'?"
"Good, good name!"
"Do you have any other moves?"
"Yes, the finale has not been shown yet …"
…
Facing the lotus pond, Lin Muyu focused his mind and silently opened his palm. In an instant, countless invisible blades flew out from his body. With his Heart of the Sword released, even Tang Xiaoxi could see his True Qi swords!
"Rustle …"
The water in the pool began to tremble violently. In the next moment, the water in the pool seemed to be attracted to something as it slowly rose up and gathered together. Furthermore, the surrounding temperature dropped rapidly and the water arrows actually froze into light blue frost blades. If the Sword Elder's teachings were to be compared to the external release of the Heart Sword, then Lin Mu Yu's technique was a sublimation of the external release of the Heart Sword!
"Rise!"
Raising his arm, thousands of ice swords soared into the sky. In the blink of an eye, they landed on the ground not far away. It directly turned the place into a mess of potholes.
