Wind City. The residence of the City Lord.
The City Lord's residence was also the residence of the General of Wind City. Because Wind City was close to the border of the Peacock Empire, there were constant conflicts between the two countries. In order to protect the people at the border and not lose their territory, the West Wind Kingdom had stationed a large number of troops here.
The genius king of the Peacock Imperial Court, Ying Qianhu, suddenly united millions of soldiers of the Great Wu Kingdom to swallow up the West Wind and the Great Zhou Kingdom. Chu Yufeng, who was the Ninth Prince of the Jin Wangfu, led the troops and eventually led many heroes to fight against the Peacock Emperor in Wind City. And the old generals of Yan Tang who followed Chu Yufeng were rewarded according to their merits, and their deeds were recorded in the annals of history.
The ancestor of the Lu clan, Lu Fengshou, was just a lowly general of Wind City at that time. He followed Chu Yufeng to fight thousands of battles, made countless military exploits, and eventually became a general who commanded the troops of the world.
And the ancestor of the Cui family, Cui Yu, was originally a commander of the official army of the Jin Wangfu. When Chu Yufeng led the troops to battle, Cui Yu was Chu Yufeng's shadow and shield. When Chu Yu Feng went into battle to kill the enemies, Cui Yu took the lead and led the guards of the Prince's Residence to charge at the forefront. Using his body to block the enemies, he dragged Chu Yu Feng out from the pile of corpses again and again.
When Chu Yufeng succeeded and retreated, he once again became a shadow behind Chu Yufeng. Everyone knew of his existence, but they did not know where he was.
Chu Yufeng was grateful for his loyalty and courage, and appointed him as the head of the Monitoring Division. At that time, the name of the Monitoring Division appeared for the first time in the West Wind Kingdom. And the duty of the Monitoring Division was to supervise the officials and the army. The power of this position was too great and too heavy. One thought could make someone live, one thought could make someone die. Almost everyone feared it.
Chu Yufeng handed over the troops of the world to the Lu Family, and then gave the power of supervision to the Cui family. Later, he married into the Song family, the most influential family at that time, and gave them control of the civil service system and the authority of the Emperor to shepherd the people of the world.
The three powers were also three tigers fighting.
As a result, Chu Yufeng slept peacefully. After his death, the Empire that he single-handedly fought for continued for thousands of years.
The Lu clan was born in Wind City, and also started in Wind City.
Although the core figures of the Lu clan later moved to Tiandu, the ancestral shrine of the Lu clan was in Wind City. Every master of the Lu family would choose an outstanding descendant to be the City Lord of Wind City, to guard the old residence of the Lu family, and to guard the borders of the Empire.
Lu Wuyong was the current Lord of Wind City, an outstanding child of the Lu clan personally chosen by the patriarch of the Lu family, Lu Xingkong.
Lu Wuyong was in his forties, because Wind City had a huge sandstorm in autumn and winter, and the sun was scorching in spring and summer. Lu Wuyong had been in the army for a long time, so his skin was dark and his beard made him look majestic and overbearing.
"The northern wind blows away all the grass, and it snows in the eighth month of the Wind City — — I heard that the snowstorm in Tiandu this year is especially big. "Lu said. Everyone should have a hard?"
Lu Wuyong was drinking tea and admiring the snow in the study when a servant came to report that the young master had returned from Tiandu.
Lu Wuyong said without raising his head, "Let him come into the study to talk."
"Yes, City Lord."
Soon, Lu Lin, who was dressed in black and looked travel-worn, walked into the study and bowed to his father.
"Father, your son is back." Lu Lin said respectfully.
"It's a long journey to Tiandu. It's really hard for you to go to Tiandu on behalf of your father." Lu Wuyong looked at his son and said with a gratified expression.
"Sharing my father's worries is my duty as a child. What hard work? "Lu Lin said with a smile.
"En. Tell me in detail what you saw and heard in Tiandu. From the moment you entered Tiandu, no matter how big or small, you cannot conceal anything. "Lu Wuyong said in a deep voice.
"Yes, Father." Lu Lin sorted out her thoughts and began to narrate. From the moment he entered the city gate of Tiandu, he told his father everything about the situation in Tiandu, the attitude of the Lu Family towards him, the relationship between them, and all kinds of rumors in Tiandu.
Lu Wuyong listened very carefully, frowning from time to time.
When Lu Lin finished, Lu Wuyong asked aloud, "That Li Muyang — — is really that amazing?"
"Tiandu was originally surging with undercurrents, but ever since that Li Muyang entered Tiandu, all the winds and clouds have been tied to him alone." Lu Lin said with a smile. "I left on the day of the birthday celebration, took a hummingbird and rushed all the way back to Wind City today. According to the date, today happens to be the day of the decisive battle between Li Muyang and Old immortal of the Still water sword school — — In my humble opinion, the moment the battle stops is the beginning of the conflict. Father, you have to be prepared. "
Lu Wuyong's thick brows were deeply knitted together again. "Do you think it will be difficult for the Lu clan to get through this calamity?"
"Father — —" Lu Lin's expression was serious. "The Lu clan is now the target of public criticism, as long as Grandfather Lu holds the military power, those people will not let go of our Lu clan — —"
"Even if the military power is released at this time, will the Lu clan get a good end?"
"This — — I don't know."
Lu Wuyong was once again lost in thought. After a long while, he asked aloud, "What is the realm of that Li Muyang?"
"High mountain." Lu Lin answered.
"What?" Lu Wuyong exclaimed.
"I deliberately asked Uncle Qingming, he said he is in the High mountain realm. And he has just entered the High mountain realm. "Lu Lin explained.
"Isn't it rumoured that he defeated Mu Yubai of the Still water sword school?"
"That's what the people of Tiandu say." Lu Lin said. "But I suspect that is a means of the Lu Family to make a name for themselves. To deal with a peerless master like Mu Yubai, they most likely have to mobilize the 'three souls and seven spirits' around Grandfather Lu, right? They let the three souls and seven spirits besiege Mu Yubai, and then push all the credit to Li Muyang. It is said that the disciple of the Thousand Faced Poison King, Miss Hong Xiu, was also at the scene — — She also went to help Li Muyang. "
"Three souls and seven spirits — —" Lu Wuyong gently sighed. "I'm really curious what kind of people they are."
"This time, they are most likely going to expose their identity, right?"
"No matter what the situation in Tiandu is, Wind city cannot fall into chaos. If Wind city falls into chaos, the Lu clan will be finished, and West Wind will no longer have a foothold. "
"What does Father mean?"
Lu Wuyong waved his hand. "Tiandu has sent a girl named Shinian — —"
"Ah? Li Shinian? "Lu Lin was overjoyed.
Lu Wuyong glanced at his son's passionate expression. "Go see the guest from afar."
"Yes, Father." Father. "Lu Lin hurriedly walked outside.
Lu Wuyong walked over to the window, looking at the few bare iron thread cherry trees in the courtyard. After a long silence, he shouted, "Someone come."
"City Lord." A grey-robed man appeared behind Lu Wuyong.
"Inform the messenger that we will meet at midnight today."
"Yes." The black-robed man's body transformed into a cloud of fog, and then disappeared from the study.

Li Shinian was sitting in a stone pavilion wrapped in ice and snow, her eyes dull and her mind restless.
She had understood the ins and outs of the matter, and also recalled the bowl of chicken soup that her brother had served them.
According to the time, today was the day of the duel between her brother and the old monster of the Still water sword school.
"Did Brother win?"
"Will Brother lose?"
"Will Brother live — —"
※ ※ ※
It was the same question, but there were thousands of different types of questions repeatedly asked in her mind.
She had never been so worried before.
The last time her brother was in the illusion, everyone told her that Li Muyang was dead, but she did not believe it. She believed that her brother would be alive and would come back to find them.
Sure enough, her brother came back, in the way she expected.
This time was different from the past.
Last time it was unknown, this time it was known.
She knew the gap between her brother and the old monster, and she also knew that the old monster would not let her brother go easily — —
In the unknown world, one can only rely on luck.
In the known world, one can only rely on strength.
Brother, does he have the strength to defeat the old monster of Still water?
He suddenly sent her away on the eve of the battle, was that not a sign that her brother did not have the confidence to win?
"Brother — —" Li Shinian clasped her hands together, muttering to herself: "You must live."
"Are you worried about Brother?" A man's voice suddenly sounded behind her.
Li Shinian abruptly turned around, seeing Lu Lin standing behind her, a look of surprise crossed her face. "Gongzi Lu, why are you here?"
"This is my home." Lu Lin said with a gentle smile. "I should be the one asking you — — why is Miss Shinian here?"
"I — —" It was only then that Li Shinian came to her senses.
"I understand." Lu Lin stopped Li Shinian from answering this embarrassing question, saying with a smile: "I know you are worried, so I specially asked someone to bring some tea and pastries over, I will wait with you."
"Gongzi Lu, you don't have to do this."
"Miss Shinian is welcome." Lu Lin said with a smile. "You are a guest from afar, I naturally have to do my best as a host."
He waved his hand, and the servants behind him brought over all kinds of pastries and hot tea.
"Does Miss Shinian feel cold?"
"Not cold."
"Go get the heart of the fire lion in my room." Lu Lin said with a smile. "The last time I led the troops to fight with the Marquis of the Peacock Kingdom, I accidentally entered the Heavenly Fire Peak, but by chance I encountered a male fire lion. I killed the fire lion and took its heart. This thing is the best for keeping warm, Miss Shinian should hold it hand in hand, don't freeze. "
"Gongzi Lu, you really don't have to do this — —"
"Miss Shinian — —" Lu Lin looked into Li Shinian's eyes, the corners of his mouth curving into a faint smile. "Why reject me thousands of miles away?"
Li Shinian jerked his head up to look at Lu Lin. "What does Gongzi Lu mean?"
"Miss Shinian really doesn't understand my feelings for you?"
"— —"

Tiandu. Lu mansion.
Gongsun Yu did not go to the Sword God Square today.
Not only did she not go, but she also did not let her youngest son Lu Tianyu go.
This made Lu Tianyu quite dissatisfied, like a little beast trapped in a cage, pacing back and forth in the room, sighing.
"Mother, let me go have a look?" Lu Tianyu begged again. He stepped forward to pull Gongsun Yu's hand. "I'll just take a look from afar. Father and Grandfather are there, it will be fine. "
"No."
"Why?"
"There is no reason."
"Mother — —"
Gongsun Yu cast a deep glance at Lu Tianyu. "I have decided, don't make trouble."
"Yes. Mother. "Lu Tianyu sat beside his mother, accompanying her as she waited.
Although he did not know what he was waiting for.
"Mother, do you think brother Li Muyang will win?"
Hearing Lu Tianyu call Li Muyang 'brother', Gongsun Yu felt a little better, reaching out to hold her son's chubby hand. "He will win. He will definitely win. "
"But, that old monster of Still water is very powerful — —"
"Your Brother Muyang is more powerful." Gongsun Yu said firmly. "Because, he was born extraordinary."
Lu Tianyu looked at his mother in astonishment, thinking to himself, why was he born extraordinary?
Wasn't he just the son of a servant?
However, for some reason, seeing his mother's expression at this moment, he did not have the courage to ask the doubts in his heart.

"So, Old immortal Mu, let this kid live, how about it?"
Li Muyang so stiffly and plainly asked for a truce, asked Mu Dingyi to let him live.
After all, from the beginning to the present, this duel was decided by Mu Dingyi alone. Li Muyang had never thought of exchanging pointers with such a master.
Wasn't this clearly asking people to cut and learn from each other?
At this point, Mu Dingyi was naturally unwilling to let Li Muyang go.
He originally wanted to slay Li Muyang, to restore the reputation of the Still water sword school, and to restore some self-esteem for his son, who did not want Xiaoxin to be defeated by Li Muyang — —
However, the fact that he could not kill him with several consecutive sword strikes had allowed him to gain enough prestige and reputation.
When Li Muyang gained reputation, it was the process of his own reputation falling. This was the principle behind the rise and fall of the other.
From the viewing platform, to the Sword God Square, and then to the mountainside of Mist Mountain.
From the Emperor, to the General, and then to the commoners.
Everyone's eyes and attention were gathered on Mu Dingyi.
To fight or stop, he made the decision.
Mu Dingyi's line of sight was only fixed on Li Muyang. "This battle — — will not end."
"This battle will not end."
This was the answer that Mu Dingyi gave to Li Muyang.
This was also the answer that Mu Dingyi gave to the West Wind Emperor Chu Xianda and all the people who knelt down.
This battle will not end!
In other words, it will not end until one of them dies!
He was going to make the last sword strike!
"Did you hear that? He said this battle will not end? "Someone said aloud.
"Why must you kill Li Muyang?" Among the crowd kneeling on the ground, someone cried out in grief and indignation, "Old immortal, why must you kill Li Muyang? Are you afraid of being replaced by him? "
"Old immortal — — how can you be so inconsiderate of the public opinion — —"
※ ※ ※
Mu Dingyi looked at Li Muyang, uttering, "Take another sword strike from me."
His body floated in the air, looking up at the sky, his eyes closed, and his hands stretched out to both sides.
Hua hua hua — —
There was a strong wind blowing.
Sha sha sha — —
There were snowflakes drifting.
The wind and snow that had stopped for half a day once again appeared in front of people.
In the sky, two powerful blue streams of air gushed out from Mu Dingyi's hands, drilling into the ground of the Sword God Square.
Kacha Kacha — —
Countless cracks appeared on the hard lapis lazuli floor of the Sword God Square, and as the blue streams of air poured in, the cracks were increasing in number and density.
Mu Dingyi lifted his hands forward.
Swoosh — —
An embroidered iron sword drilled out from the gap, soaring into the air.
Swoosh swoosh swoosh — —
Countless iron swords drilled out from the gap, similarly soaring into the sky.
Tens of thousands of swords streaked across the sky, thrusting straight at Li Muyang on the ground, shrouding the top of his head.
