On the evening of the 28th of March:
Jiangning County, Yi City.
"Teacher, have you found it?" Teng Qingshan showed a rare expression of joy.
"Yes." Zhuge Yuan-hong heaved a sigh of relief as he gazed at the blood-red setting sun in the west. "After searching for three to four days, I finally found the location of the explosion on the 22nd of March in Jiangning County City. Someone in the village at the foot of the Great Yan Mountain said that he heard the explosion and a terrifying roar. I sent people to the Great Yan Mountain and found the body of the Martial Ancestor.
"It's a miracle that the Martial Ancestor's body wasn't eaten by the wild beasts after staying in the mountain for three to four days. It's a blessing from the heavens." Zhuge Yuan-hong sighed emotionally.
However, Zhuge Yuan-hong didn't know … …
That day, the demonic dragon Violet Rain appeared there and roared angrily, leaving behind a strong demonic dragon aura. As long as the demonic dragon aura didn't dissipate, ordinary beasts wouldn't dare to approach that place. Because of this, Elder Wu's body was preserved.
"Elder Wu's funeral?" Teng Qingshan looked at Zhuge Yuan-hong.
"The funeral was held in a low-key manner." Zhuge Yuan-hong smiled bitterly and said, "The Martial Ancestor has no relatives or descendants … … Sigh, the Martial Ancestor's only great-grandson lost his life because he fought over a woman. The death of his great-grandson was a great blow to the Martial Ancestor. "
"From then on, the Martial Ancestor was always engrossed in all kinds of unofficial history novels. However, it's strange that the Martial Ancestor, who had reached the Golden Dan Innate Realm, actually broke through and reached the Emptiness Realm while reading unofficial history novels. "
"However, even though the Martial Ancestor reached the Emptiness Realm, he still kept a low profile and stayed in the Martial Pavilion … … When I reached the Innate Realm, Within the sect, I was treated as a genius. Then, the Martial Ancestor personally taught me. Although he was my Martial Ancestor, he was almost like my teacher." Zhuge Yuan-hong's eyes were filled with tears.
Elder Wu played a huge part in Zhuge Yuan-hong's achievements.
"Teacher." Teng Qingshan sighed inwardly.
Suddenly —
"Peng! Peng! Peng!" A hurried knocking sound suddenly rang out, breaking the calm atmosphere. The knocking sound was like a heavy hammer pounding on one's heart.
"Huh?" Teng Qingshan and Zhuge Yuan-hong's expressions changed slightly.
Usually, servants would not dare to knock on the door like this.
"Sect Master, Sect Master, hurry up and open the door, hurry up and open the door." An anxious shout came from outside.
"I'll get the door." Teng Qingshan immediately ran to the courtyard door and pulled open the latch. He saw a man dressed in ordinary clothes, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, rushing into the courtyard without even bowing to Teng Qingshan.
"What happened?" Zhuge Yuan-hong stood up.
"Grandmaster." The man said hurriedly, "Within the sect, I just received news that the Qing Hu Island's troops stationed in the south, north, and west of Jiangning County have all set off towards Jiangning County."
Boom!
Zhuge Yuan-hong and Teng Qingshan felt as if their minds were struck by thunder and lightning. They were both shocked. Although Teng Qingshan and Zhuge Yuan-hong had expected this … … when the truth happened, Teng Qingshan and Zhuge Yuan-hong couldn't accept it. This was because if Qing Hu Island started a war, the Gui Yuan Sect might be finished!
Once it was finished, the thousand-year foundation would be ruined.
"In the end, they still came." Zhuge Yuan-hong calmed down, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. "You can leave first." Zhuge Yuan-hong waved his hand. Although the man was anxious, he still left respectfully.
Only Zhuge Yuan-hong and Teng Qingshan were left in the courtyard.
"Teacher." Teng Qingshan stared at Zhuge Yuan-hong.
"The Blind Swordmaster really wants to flatten the Gui Yuan Sect in one go." Zhuge Yuan-hong instantly made up his mind. He stared at Teng Qingshan and said, "Qingshan, when the time comes, you can show yourself as a friend of the Gui Yuan Sect. Let's see if you can scare the Blind Swordmaster. As for me … … I have to go back now. "
"Teacher, you can't go back."
Teng Qingshan said solemnly, "It's useless even if you go back … … If the Gui Yuan Sect is breached, the Blind Swordmaster will definitely kill you. That would be equivalent to sending you to your death! If you don't go back … … you will definitely reach the Emptiness Realm in the future. "Teng Qingshan didn't think that his teacher couldn't see through this.
"No." Zhuge Yuan-hong shook his head gently. He stared at Teng Qingshan and said, "Qingshan, I am the Sovereign of the Gui Yuan Sect!"
"The Gui Yuan Sect is facing such a great danger. The others can leave, but I can't."
"When the army of Qing Hu Island came, the fearless disciples of the Gui Yuan Sect suddenly realized that their Sovereign had fled out of fear. He is no longer in Jiangning County City. Do you think the disciples of the Gui Yuan Sect still have the heart to kill? I'm afraid they will be very disappointed. "Zhuge Yuan-hong said seriously.
With this, Zhuge Yuan-hong stared at Teng Qingshan and said, "Moreover, the future of the Gui Yuan Sect is not me, Zhuge Yuan-hong. It is you, Teng Qingshan!"
"No, no … …"
Teng Qingshan frowned and thought quickly.
"Don't stop me." Zhuge Yuan-hong immediately walked outside.
"Teacher." Teng Qingshan's figure flashed and stood in front of Zhuge Yuan-hong. He stared at Zhuge Yuan-hong and said solemnly, "The attack of Qing Hu Island is a disaster for the Gui Yuan Sect. However, we still have a chance of survival. The Blind Swordmaster might take my existence into consideration. Moreover, we still have another hope. "
"Another hope?" Zhuge Yuan-hong froze.
"Yes, the Heavenly God Palace." Teng Qingshan answered.
"The Heavenly God Palace?" Zhuge Yuan-hong frowned and said, "Qingshan, you want to … …" Zhuge Yuan-hong knew that Teng Qingshan was related to the Heavenly God Palace.
"It's evening now. I will go to Qingzhou now." Teng Qingshan hastily said, "If the Heavenly God Palace helps us, the Gui Yuan Sect will definitely be able to escape this disaster. Yes, Teacher, I will go first."
Time was tight. Teng Qingshan immediately left on the Six Legged Bladelike Chi.
Whoosh!
The Six Legged Bladelike Chi instantly soared into the sky. With the Six Legged Bladelike Chi's speed, ordinary people would only see a blur.
*****
Yangzhou was two thousand Li away from Qingzhou. If one wanted to reach Huyue County City in Qingzhou, it would be almost three thousand Li.
The sky was already dark.
The Six Legged Bladelike Chi hovered above the clouds, its entire body enveloped in the radiance of the golden flame. With the help of Teng Qingshan, the Six Legged Bladelike Chi's speed was much faster than Blue Luan. With a terrifying speed, the Six Legged Bladelike Chi tore through the heavens and the earth, rushing towards Huyue County City.
"If Little Blue comes, Little Blue and I will be able to scare Qing Hu Island so much that they won't dare to move.
"If the Six Legged Bladelike Chi breaks through and reaches the Emptiness Realm. It will also be able to intimidate Qing Hu Island.
"If Teacher can break through and reach the Emptiness Realm, we will be able to work together. With two Emptiness Realm Experts in the Gui Yuan Sect, we will be able to protect the Gui Yuan Sect. "Teng Qingshan stared at the endless stars in the sky, feeling extremely anxious. Everything was just an "if". It would be very difficult for both the Six Legged Bladelike Chi and his teacher, Zhuge Yuan-hong, to break through to the Emptiness Realm.
They were only one step away from the Earth and Heaven.
Many people had been stuck at this step for a very long time.
"Let's go down." Under Teng Qingshan's guidance, the Six Legged Bladelike Chi dived through the clouds. Teng Qingshan could see the boundless land, cities, and villages clearly.
In the time it took to drink a cup of tea, Teng Qingshan could see Huyue County City.
… …
In Huyue County City, there was a luxurious mansion where the headquarters of the Snowy Lotus Cult was located. This was Li Jun's residence.
Li Jun sat alone in the study room, and two personal guards stood outside the study room.
"Hm. It seems that attacking Youzhou and destroying Hong Tian City will be very, very difficult." Li Jun looked at the report in her hands and shook her head.
Whoosh!
A streak of rainbow light passed through the door of the study room and landed inside.
"Who is it?!" The two personal guards at the door hastily turned their heads and saw the figure that suddenly appeared in the study room. They immediately shouted.
"Quick! Quick!"
The many personal guards in the mansion heard the shout and immediately rushed to the study room.
When Li Jun saw the person, she was pleasantly surprised. She hastily waved her hand and ordered the personal guards, "All of you, leave. Don't let anyone disturb us."
"Yes."
The two personal guards finally saw that the person was the husband of the substitute High Priestess, who had lived in the mansion before. They blushed and hastily left the study room, closing the door.
"Qingshan, why did you come at this time?" Li Jun walked over with a smile and held Teng Qingshan's arm.
"I have an urgent matter to attend to." Teng Qingshan frowned and said anxiously, "Little Jun … this afternoon, the three garrisons of Qing Hu Island at the border of Jiangning County have already set out and are advancing towards Jiangning County City. Moreover … a few days ago, Elder Wu, whom I talked to you about, was killed by the Blind Swordmaster of Qing Hu Island and an Emptiness Realm Demonic Beast. "
"What? This … "Li Jun was also shocked by this news.
Even the Heavenly God Palace didn't know about Elder Wu's death.
"How could this happen?" Li Jun was also shocked.
"Little Jun, the Gui Yuan Sect is in a very dangerous situation now … It's hard to say if I can threaten Qing Hu Island alone." Teng Qingshan frowned and said, "Moreover, as long as Qing Hu Island is prepared and sends their elites away, I won't be able to take revenge even if I want to."
Li Jun nodded slightly.
"Qingshan, what do you plan to do?" Li Jun asked.
"Can you contact the Heavenly God Palace?" Teng Qingshan asked, "Tell them the situation … Tell them that once Yangzhou is united, it will be ten times more troublesome for the Heavenly God Palace to occupy Yangzhou in the future. Ask them to send an Emptiness Realm Expert over to help. "
"That's possible."
Li Jun nodded and said, "This time, the Heavenly God Palace fell into a quagmire when we moved to Hong Tian City in Youzhou in the northeast. I think the Sovereign doesn't want to fall into the same situation in Yangzhou in the future. "
"Fell into a quagmire?" Teng Qingshan frowned.
"Yes." Li Jun nodded and said, "The Heavenly God Palace has been lurking in Qingzhou for over a hundred years. We have secretly infiltrated and planted many forces. Therefore, we unified Qingzhou very quickly. However, the attack on Youzhou this time … is troublesome. Hong Tian City has learned a lesson from Xiao Yao Palace and united the entire Youzhou. Moreover, they have used a very sinister method. "
"They didn't fight the Heavenly God Palace recklessly! First, Hong Tian City divided their elite troops into small groups and led a large number of small troops of over ten thousand people. They were like wild wolves that attacked our army from time to time. "
"Secondly, Hong Tian City issued a bounty in Youzhou and began to recruit soldiers in the entire Youzhou. Anyone who joined the army and killed a soldier of the Heavenly God Palace would be rewarded with five hundred taels of silver!"
"Five hundred taels of silver! Such a high reward for killing one person. It's enough to make many bandits and robbers in Youzhou jealous. "
"For a time, there were hundreds or even thousands of troops in the entire Youzhou. The large troops only had twenty to thirty thousand people, and the small troops only had about a thousand people. Relying on their familiarity with the local terrain, they attacked the army of the Heavenly God Palace with various methods, traps, sneak attacks, and poison. " Li Jun smiled bitterly and shook her head. "The Heavenly God Palace does have Emptiness Realm Experts. However, what can a few Emptiness Realm Experts do against the ocean-like troops?"
"Sigh … The army of the Heavenly God Palace has fallen into a quagmire in Youzhou. We are in big trouble. "
"Therefore, the Sovereign might agree to send an Emptiness Realm Expert to help the Gui Yuan Sect." Li Jun nodded.
