Deng Mao stared at the front with firm eyes. After the young king was repelled, he was standing on the edge of the open space. Compared to Deng Mao's arm that was full of blood, Hsu Fengnian just shook his wrist and waved his sword, dispersing the remaining force. Obviously, he was more at ease.
The man in white in the distance reminded loudly, "Be careful when Deng Mao throws away his spear."
Hsu Fengnian frowned.
Deng Mao, who was exposed, didn't get angry. He just grinned and didn't care.
Hsu Fengnian didn't pay much attention to the broken spear Deng Mao that he fought for the first time. It wasn't because he was conceited, but because he was confident. Deng Mao and Hong Jingyan's martial arts cultivation were relatively close, and even lower than Hong Jingyan in the Longyan Plains. After all, the Chess and Sword Music School showed that he was about to break through the threshold and enter the Celestial Realm. It was just that Hsu Fengnian didn't give Hong Jingyan a chance to stabilize his realm. Otherwise, Beimang would have one more Earth Immortal.
Hsu Fengnian thought of the words "Earth Immortal" for no reason. His heart was a little heavy. He seemed to be casually looking around, but at the same time, his mind was turning rapidly.
It was a publicly acknowledged fact that the Pugilistic World was welcoming a once-in-a-thousand-years great year. The Liyang River Lake was far more prosperous than the Northern Mang. Even the Empress of the Northern Mang had publicly declared in the imperial court that regardless of the number of martial artists in the First Class Vajra Finger, Mysterious Celestial Phenomenon, or Third Class, after Huang Longshi transferred the remaining fate energy of the Eight Kingdoms of Spring and Autumn into the Pugilistic World, the Liyang Martial Arts Circle, which seemed to have pulled up seedlings to help them grow, began to far surpass the Northern Mang. Even the Land Immortals were obviously more in the Liyang Martial Arts Circle than in the Northern Mang. Even if the Great Immortal Yuan Qingshan of the Kylin Sect, who had ascended before, and the Order of Peace of the Chess, Sword, and Music School, who had never revealed his strength, the number of Land Immortals in the Northern Mang Pugilistic World could be counted on one hand. However, Liyang Jianghu seemed to be lush and green. Among them, there were people who were no longer in the world, such as Wang Xianzhi, Hong Xixiang, Li Chungang, Cao Changqing, Huang Sanjia, the father and son from Longhu Mountain who had ascended together, Zhao Huangchao, the monk of the Dragon Tree from the Two Zen Temples, Xuanyuan Jingcheng from Mount Hui, Gao Shulu, Liu Songtao, and so on. Not to mention, there was also the First Sage of the Confucian School who lived in seclusion in Shangyin Academy, as well as the group of people who were still alive, such as Hsu Fengnian, the Peach Blossom Sword God Đồng Thái, Chen Zhibao, the eunuch from Tai An City who was the same age as Guo, the white-robed monk Li Dangxin, and Tantai Pingjing from the Guanyin Sect. Moreover, Xu Yanbing, Gu Jiantang, Xuanyuan Qingfeng, Wu Jiancheng, and Cheng Baishuang were only a step away from the Earth Immortal realm.
Although this was related to the fact that Beimang's Jianghu had never obtained the Spring and Autumn Providence, it was still unreasonable for there to be such a great disparity between the top Grade One Grandmasters of both sides.
In particular, the disparity in the number of Earth Immortals was almost two hands apart, which was extremely strange.
According to the deduction of Hsu Fengnian and the young leader of Wudang, Li Yufu, Beimang's Jianghu should not be so lifeless. In the past twenty years, there should be at least four to six more Earth Immortals, one for each of the Confucian, Buddhist, and Taoist sects. There should be one or two Earth Immortals among the pure martial artists. The possibility of someone successfully becoming an Earth Sword Immortal was the highest. However, even if Hsu Fengnian and Tuoba Bodhisattva were fighting in the Western Region for thousands of miles, or killing the black dragon that symbolized Beimang's Zuo Fate outside Liuzhou Pass, there were still no Earth Immortals who appeared out of nowhere to stop them. It was as if someone in Beimang was deliberately suppressing the Jianghu's Fate. But no matter what, where did the three or four Earth Immortals who should have shone in Beimang in the past twenty years go?
It was not that Hsu Fengnian did not know that Beimang was using Crown Prince Yelu Hongcai as bait to lure him to take the head of the General.
In fact, Hsu Fengnian did not have much interest in killing Yelu Hongcai. If the old woman died of illness or a sudden death, then Yelu Hongcai's existence would not change Beimang's chaotic situation. On the contrary, it would worsen the internal strife. At the very least, his appearance would become a stumbling block in front of Yelu Hongcai and Yelu Dongchuang. If the Yelu family wanted to regain the glory of their ancestors, they would first have to engage in an internal strife before they could have the qualifications to unify the power of the imperial family and fight against the representative of the vassal towns, General Dong Zhuo, the leader of the foreign relatives, Murong Baoding, and the other major powers of the grassland. Moreover, Yelu Hongcai had secretly probed Mount Qing Liang through the famous Princess of the grassland. Therefore, Hsu Fengnian did not bat an eyelid when faced with Yelu Hongcai's provocation.
Hsu Fengnian was sure that there was a trap at his feet, which was why he dashed forward. Hsu Fengnian did not move forward in a straight line. Instead, he moved in an arc to where Deng Mao was blocking the way. The degree of danger of this trap was directly related to how highly the Crown Prince of Beimang was regarded by Hsu Fengnian. This also required Hsu Fengnian to weigh the pros and cons.
In the end, the one Hsu Fengnian really wanted to kill was Tuoba Bodhisattva.
The current Tuoba Bodhisattva had the "Invincible in the Human Realm" that was close to the peak of Wang Xianzhi's martial arts. What did this mean? It meant that unless two martial arts grandmasters joined hands, they could barely stop the person Tuoba Bodhisattva wanted to kill.
The reason why Hsu Fengnian did not go to Dunhuang and why Huyan Daguan stopped him from rushing to Beimang was very simple. It was because of Tuoba Bodhisattva.
Now, in the situation before Hsu Fengnian, there were two things that must be done.
North Rejecting City could not be lost!
Even if Tuoba Bodhisattva was not killed, he could not continue to have that state!
As for Yelu Hongcai and the others, they were not even worth mentioning.
