Outside the camp of the Glory Army, balls of flames were dancing in the wind.
The crimson flames were dancing like fiery butterflies, as if they were congratulating the wedding that had attracted the attention of the entire Northern Song, adding a different kind of beauty to the world. In particular, the bizarre flames were extremely dazzling. They were dancing silently in the void, like deadly but alluring flowers.
"That's … What a beautiful flower of flames!" Du Lvji, the Head of the Iron Spear Sect, exclaimed in astonishment.
Many experts of the Jianghu sects were also fascinated by the scene.
"Those beautiful flames. Are they specially prepared by Lord Jin for the wedding?"
Only Xuan Chengzi of the Qingcheng Sect, the Chief Head of the Heavenly Waterside Citadel, and a few others showed a look of surprise and dread, as if they had vaguely sensed something.
Soon, to everyone's surprise, the balls of crimson flames were blown by the wind and started a prairie fire. They were burning in a weird way in the void, and then, they were burning toward the camp of the Glory Army.
Then, a shocking scene unfolded.
At the gate of the camp, a group of elites of the Glory Army in full armor was also turned into crimson flames by the strange fire that swept over. Dozens of them were set ablaze like dozens of torches. They did not even have the time to scream. In the span of a few breaths, their bodies, armors, and weapons were turned into crimson, intoxicating flames and dispersed into the air with a gust of wind.
"Enemy attack!"
At that moment, many experts of the Jianghu sects came to their senses.
A leading general bellowed, "Be on guard …"
The war drums in the army sounded.
The Glory Army was indeed the most powerful elite army among the eight rebellious lords of the Northern Song. The soldiers in the rear immediately responded.
At the command of an officer in the Natural Realm, soldiers in khaki armor rushed forward. They were all experts who had cultivated internal qi. They infused their internal qi into their armor and activated the tactical deployment. Star patterns swirled on each soldier's body. Among them, two rows of soldiers holding Heavenly Water Shields directly stepped forward and blocked the direction of the strange crimson flames. A defensive tactical deployment was instantly formed.
Star patterns flickered on the shields, and water rippled. There was a strange sound of waves surging in the air. The 20 shields fit together seamlessly and formed a shield. It was like a huge wave that blocked the area where the flames were coming from.
"Great!"
"They are indeed battle-hardened elites."
"Elite soldiers!"
Countless knowledgeable guests on the VIP seats sighed with emotion at this moment.
Even those who did not know much about the army could tell that it was an absolutely formidable elite troop.
Although he had long heard that the Glory Army under Lord Jin's command was one of the most elite troops in the empire, seeing was believing. If the other sergeants of the Glory Army were as elite as this team, who else could be a match for them? He was afraid that Lord Jin would be the one to rule the Northern Song.
Zhao Chen, Lord Jin, also put on a proud smile.
Yes, that was where his confidence came from.
The iron-blooded army was in his hands.
However, before the praises and praises died down, in the distance, outside the barracks, a faintly discernible beam of translucent broadsword light suddenly emerged and flashed by. Then, the 20 shields with star patterns were silently cut in half from the middle as if they were made of paper. So were the soldiers holding the shields …
The so-called Water Tactical Deployment, under that beam of translucent Taoist light, also dissipated with a bang like a bubble.
The flames reappeared.
The armor, the soldiers, the giant shields, the tactical deployment …
Everything was burned in the red flame and turned into nothingness.
The translucent broadsword cut a 20-meter-wide gap in the defensive deployment of tens of thousands of troops.
It was not until then that the crowd was shocked to find that it was not the splendid celebratory light but … the deadly broadsword light.
Not far from the gap, a short-haired young man in white showed up.
He walked slowly. His figure seemed to be distorted in the scorching sun. Sometimes it was blurry, and sometimes it was clear. It was very weird. No one could see his face clearly.
Every time his figure flickered, he would travel a thousand feet.
In the twinkling of an eye, the crowd was still filled with welcome. Before they realized what was going on, the short-haired young man in white had already entered the gap in the Glory Army's barracks. He did not stop but kept marching in.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The sound of swords being unsheathed rang out.
The armored soldiers of the Glory Army surrounded him from both sides, like a moving forest of swords and spears.
In the distance, an officer gave an order. The bowstrings trembled like thunder.
In the rear of the army, the arrows of the specially-made Star-demolishing Crossbows were like a swarm of locusts, which were darting at the short-haired young man in white precisely and fiercely. On the triangular arrowhead of the crossbow, the star-patterned tactical deployment was swirling, which was powerful enough to shatter the protective Primordial Qi field of an expert at the consummate Natural Realm.
That scene made countless experts in the Jianghu shudder.
However, the short-haired young man in white did not take any action. As he walked, the translucent broadsword light was twinkling around him. All the arrows of the Star-demolishing Crossbows, as long as they were within 10 meters of him, turned into magnificent flames, drifted in the void, and disappeared with the wind.
"These useless chickens and dogs can't stop me."
The young man in white spoke with absolute confidence in his eyes.
This was a handsome and upright face. His large and spirited eyes were especially different from the rest. His eyes were like a sea of stars, yet also like an abyss. They were bottomless and boundless. They were as bright as the stars and as bright as the autumn light.
The 200,000 soldiers of the Glory Army, who claimed to be the elite of all the armies in the Northern Song, were nothing but useless chickens and dogs in his eyes.
However, his aura, his eyes, his tone, and his demeanor … Every bit of his aura made people feel that he was telling the truth instead of bluffing. It also made people believe that the 200,000 soldiers of the Glory Army were really too weak to withstand a single blow from this young man.
"Who is that young man?"
Huang Youlong, the Enigmatic Divine Dragon, the Head of the Heavenly Waterside Citadel, suddenly opened his eyes, which were surging with shrewd light.
Xuan Chengzi sprang to his feet, his brows furrowed.
The heads of the Iron Spear Sect, the Mountain and River Gang, the First-class Hall, the Wind and Thunder Hall, and the Heaven Heart Chamber were also trying their best to suppress the shock in their hearts. All of them were frantically trying to recall that there was no such figure in the Northern Song. "Who on earth is that short-haired young man in white?"
Zhao Chen, Lord Jin's face was cold and gloomy.
With a wave of his hand, he ordered the army to retreat a little and stop the attack.
Because he had already seen that the strength of that short-haired young man in white was too terrifying. At least, he was at the Celestial Being Realm. That kind of expert, who was almost at the peak of martial arts and had jumped out of the shackles of the world, was not someone that the secular army could fight against — no matter how elite they were.
But the short-haired young man in white did not even look at him.
His eyes fell on Countess Huanzhu, Wang Shiyu, who was wearing a phoenix coronet and a red robe, who was as cold as a goddess. After a careful look, he burst out laughing and said, "Hahaha, I haven't seen you for a year, and you're getting married. Haha, who read the letter I wrote to you? Who coiled your long hair? Who made your wedding dress for you … Tut, tut, tut, whose bride is so beautiful?"
Wang Shiyu also laughed.
That was the first time that the first beauty of the Northern Song showed a smile on her cold and beautiful face since she showed up on the ceremonial path and the main stage.
That smile was like the blossoming of flowers in a flash after the cold winter passed.
Everyone felt that their eyes lit up, and the sky and the earth also lost their colors in front of that smile.
There was no one else in Wang Shiyu's eyes.
Only a familiar face.
Hearing the young man's words, she knew that it was her old deskmate who was greeting and teasing her.
It was really him.
He really came.
At that moment, Wang Shiyu let out a long breath.
Ever since he inexplicably came to this planet, all the pressure, all the hesitation that was suppressed in his heart, and all the fear that was hidden in the depths of his heart, at this moment, after seeing that familiar face, he finally completely released all of it.
When she first came to that planet, she also thought about it.
Later, she roughly understood that there was something strange in that meditation room in the Randeng Temple. It might be the legendary tactical deployment. But she could not figure out why she was the one who was sent here. It was not until later that she heard Li Mu's name and heard those poems … The smart girl began to realize that Li Mu was not an ordinary person. Her arrival on that planet might have something to do with Li Mu.
"You even sang 'You Who Sat Next to Me'? Old Tie, if you came a little later, I would really have to marry someone else. "Wang Shiyu flung the sleeves of her wide robe with an angry expression.
And this expression of a spoiled little girl was something that she had never shown to anyone else.
At that moment, many people felt that their eyes lit up, and their hearts couldn't help but palpitate.
The charm of the first beauty of the Northern Song was so enchanting that her smile was irresistible.
"Don't you like crowds? It's so lively this way, haha. " The young man in white laughed, made a face, and stroked his chin. "Haha, you don't say. With long hair and such a dress, my old deskmate really looks a bit like an immortal."
"Immortal my ass! I've been fooled by a few wicked women here. Come on, help me, support me, and let me vent my anger." Wang Shiyu grinned and shook her little white fist as if to show off.
Even a fool would be able to tell that this young man and young woman were clearly flirting with each other.
They were old acquaintances.
It was suddenly clear why the young man broke into the camp.
Lord Jin's face was terrifyingly gloomy.
He secretly made a gesture, and suddenly, the experts of the major sects in the VIP seats around the ceremony all stood up at the same time. From all directions, they faintly guarded the entire main ceremonial platform, and at the same time, surrounded Li Mu from a distance.
No matter what happened today, they could not let the young man in white leave alive.
Otherwise, wouldn't he, Zhao Chen, become the biggest joke in the world?
Huang Youlong, the Enigmatic Divine Dragon, the chief of the Heavenly Waterside Citadel, appeared beside Lord Jin.
This water path bandit, who faintly claimed to be the strongest person in King Jin's camp, slightly released his aura, and the pressure of a semi-sage filled the air. He had the majesty and bearing of a sage, which made the martial artists around him admire him.
He nodded at King Jin and turned to look into the distance. Then, he said slowly, "Young man, this is not a place you should be. You've killed the soldiers of the Glory Army and disrupted the wedding of His Highness. Even your sect can't protect you after you've made such a big mistake. Tell me who your sect is."
The young man in white smiled, revealing his snow-white teeth. "You want to pry my background? Humph, I'm not afraid to tell you that I don't have a sect. But, if you tell me my name, I'm afraid you'll be scared. "
Huang Youlong smiled loftily and said rather proudly, "In the Northern Song, the one who can scare me hasn't spoken yet. Tell me."
The young man in white said, "My name is Li Mu."
When Huang Youlong, the Enigmatic Divine Dragon, heard this, he smiled casually at first, and then came back to his senses. Suddenly, he was startled and stared at the young man in white. Then, he suddenly thought of something and understood the meaning of the name. His expression suddenly changed, the corners of his mouth twitched a few times, and his expression suddenly became very embarrassed.
