The Receding Sword Cave Master did not say a word. He coldly stared at this old man who liked to eat, sleep, and curse Beiliang, with an expression that said, "If you have something to fart with, just say it." Wei Jin was depressed, but he still slowly said, "Our stronghold is not as hard to find as Immortal Coffin Cave. In this battle, there is no need to trouble the Cave Master. Mount Fuyao will face the five hundred soldiers alone, pretending that both sides have suffered losses, and then burn this stronghold to the ground. We hope that the Immortal Coffin Cave Master will take us in. Not only is our Mountain Chieftain willing to serve the Cave Master, but everyone in Mount Fuyao will also listen to you. As for later, if Youzhou still does not give up and wants to scour this mountain, we will have nowhere to hide. At that time, it is up to the Immortal Coffin Cave to leave or stay, but we Mount Fuyao will stay and fight to the death! If the Youzhou army relaxes and does not enter the mountain, Mount Fuyao will not change today's agreement! "
The Receding Sword Cave Master, Mi Fengjie, fell into deep thought.
Zhang Juxian was worthy of being called a hero who had occupied a mountain for many years. He laughed freely and said, "Even if the Cave Master does not believe the verbal agreement of Mount Fuyao, you should believe the forty swords behind you. At present, the two mountains are evenly matched. After this battle, Mount Fuyao will be greatly weakened. What capital does it have to compete with Immortal Coffin Cave? There is an ancient saying that a mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. Mount Fuyao should have been like this long ago. Today, this saying is true. Only, Zhang Juxian's luck is not good. His martial cultivation is not as good as the Cave Master's, and his luck is far inferior. He has no choice but to admit defeat. "
Lu Haiya silently weighed the pros and cons. Zhang Juxian and Wei Jin, these two old foxes, had no obvious loopholes in their plan. The root of all of this was actually Beiliang's military power. For any Jianghu power, it was too big a monster. Moreover, the King of Beiliang was ranked sixth in the new fifteen. His retainer Xu Yanbing was one of the last five. Even the cavalry commander Yuan Zuozong, who was not ranked, was one of the top three experts in the Li Yang Army. All of this was where the morale of Beiliang's hidden army lay. Even though Lu Haiya was quite proud of his martial arts attainments, he did not even have the luxury of fighting against these people. Lu Haiya suddenly heard his master instructing him in a flat tone, "Haiya, from now on, you will help Mountain Lord Zhang with your meager strength. Treat it as our Immortal Coffin Cave's welcoming ceremony for our esteemed guest."
Lu Haiya nodded. The etiquette of receiving a guest was all fake. The real thing was for his disciple to verify it with her own eyes. The meticulous Lu Haiya caught a glimpse of Zhang Juxian and Wei Jin from the corner of his eye, and he became even more certain that Mount Fuyao was truly facing a calamity and had no choice but to resort to this. Otherwise, who would be willing to live under someone else's roof?
Suddenly, Mi Fengjie said, "Fan Xiaochai is a sword dao talent that I hold in high regard. She is also a disciple that I, Mi Fengjie, must take in for seclusion."
Wei Jin smiled bitterly. "Since the Cave Master has said so, and the Immortal Coffin Cave also has a welcoming ceremony, it is only right for me to present a gift. At this moment, it is equivalent to personally tearing up the life and death agreement. Wei Jin is willing to surrender without a fight. The two weapons, the Rusted Copper Sword and the Sparrow Tail Saber, will also be returned to their rightful owners."
Wei Jin raised his hand and called over two white-robed boys who were holding the case. He said in a low voice, "Give the Rusted Sparrow Tail Saber to Miss Fan."
The two white-robed boys looked at each other, and then tears streamed down their faces. It was obvious that they were reluctant to part with it. Even if they were to help their master carry such a famous divine weapon, it would be a great satisfaction. After giving it away, it would be difficult for them to even look at it or touch it in the future.
Wei Jin said sternly, "Go!"
The white-robed boys did not dare to disobey and quickly left.
Zhang Juxian smiled and asked, "Cave Master, there is something that I don't know if I should say."
Mi Fengjie smiled. "Is everyone in Mount Fuyao so bashful? Since we are one family, there is naturally no need to be polite. "
Zhang Juxian's face darkened for a moment, but quickly returned to normal. Magnanimously, he said, "On Mount Fuyao, a county magistrate from Yanzhi County has been kidnapped. She seems to be an old acquaintance of Miss Fan. She has taken a liking to him and did not hesitate to fight to the death with Mountain Chieftain Wei …"
Mi Fengjie interrupted Zhang Juxian's words, coldly saying, "Fan Xiaochai is the granddaughter of my Northern Han's Great General Fan. She has taken a liking to a sixth-rank official from Beiliang. What is there to make a fuss about? When she gets tired of playing with him, she can just kill him. With her outstanding talent, how could she possibly stop her cultivation for the sake of love? What a joke! "
Zhang Juxian was resentful and did not say anything else.
Stepping on the setting sun, Hsu Fengnian carried two cages of Red-bellied Golden Pheasants back to the courtyard. At that time, Wang Shiwei had inadvertently revealed a flaw to Wang Xianshan. This seemingly simple and naive woman clearly did not take it lightly. During this time, Hsu Fengnian was still able to roam about freely, while Wang Shiwei was tightly confined within a courtyard. Hidden sentries were keeping an eye on him. In particular, after news that soldiers were about to enter the mountain spread throughout Mount Fuyao, two experts immediately sat down in the courtyard, breathing deeply. This made Wang Shiwei accept life and death. When Hsu Fengnian entered the courtyard, he was sitting on the steps, drinking in large gulps, exuding a heroic spirit. Hsu Fengnian was also affected and sat down by his side. Putting down the chicken coop, he took the wine jug from Wang Shiwei's hand and raised his head to take a swig of the strong wine. The dinner after that was exceptionally sumptuous, with plenty of fish and meat. Wang Shiwei chuckled, looking past life and death. He said, "It seems that this group of evildoers on Mount Fu Yao will mistakenly kill and not let go. Registrar Xu, you have benefited from this Wang's glory for this last meal. That said, if Brother Xu still has the chance to leave the mountain, I'd like to trouble you to tell my wife and son in Horse Hoof County, Qingan County, that Wang Shiwei did not die in vain. Brother Xu, remember to especially tell my son, Buyi, that his father made a great contribution in uprooting the Golden Pheasant Mountain bandits. "
Wang Shiwei drank the wine with a calm expression. "It's just that I've let down the mother and son, so I feel somewhat guilty."
Hsu Fengnian nodded, but did not say any words of consolation.
The next morning, there was quite a commotion on Mount Fuyao. There were more than 180 young and strong bandits, all of them rushing down the mountain aggressively.
Hsu Fengnian and Wang Shiwei's courtyard was already under house arrest. Wang Shiwei sat in the main hall, calming himself down, preparing to kill one to recoup his losses when Mount Fuyao turned hostile. If he killed a pair, it would be a profit.
Hsu Fengnian had long since left his body and entered a spiritual state.
He quietly came to the dense forest of Mount Fuyao and stood on a tree branch in the middle of a mountain peak, quietly observing the battle.
Fan Xiaochai, who had obtained the Sparrow Tail Copper Rust, was indeed not stupid. She probably guessed that Hsu Fengnian would be 'absent-minded' while watching the battle, so she snuck into the backyard. There was only a wall between her and Hsu Fengnian, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed. She pressed her hands on the saber and sword at her waist. During Hsu Fengnian's nine journeys as a Celestial Being, Xu Yanbing had always been 'guarding' him. This was because he was afraid that someone would take advantage of the opportunity to 'take advantage' of him. Most of his soul had left his body to travel far away and condense into a new form, which would greatly reduce the strength of his body. This was an established fact that not even an immortal on earth could change. Although there were no written records of this in Taoist scriptures, Fan Xiaochai had already reached a higher level in martial arts. At the same time, she was able to stand out among the many spies of Fushui Society. This was the best opportunity to kill Hsu Fengnian, who was ranked sixth in the world. She did not think that there would be such an opportunity in the future. Therefore, she did not hesitate to strike. The Sparrow Tail Copper Rust broke through the wall as easily as a needle piercing through paper. Her delicate body also smashed through the wall. The moment she vaguely saw the back of that figure through the dust, Fan Xiaochai did not feel too much hatred, only relief. When Fu Xiaoshan saw this, he did not hate Fan Xiaochai to the core. However, this did not mean that Fan Xiaochai would give up the butcher's knife and become a Buddha. Moreover, there was no record of any woman becoming a Buddha in the Buddhist scriptures.
When the tip of Fan Xiaochai's saber and sword were only a foot away from that figure, her already abundant Qi increased by another level.
The Gang Qi at the tip of her rusted sword suddenly surged. Before the tip of the sword reached, the Gang Qi had already arrived.
Hsu Fengnian, who was on a mental journey, stood lightly on a branch. He could not help but chuckle softly. "Do you think Gao Shulu's body is made of paper? Otherwise, why would I go on an out-of-body journey so easily? "
Ignoring the changes in the courtyard, Hsu Fengnian looked into the distance. Finally, people were starting to die.
