Zhao Ningshen, who had been beaten back to his original form, stood on the Spring God Lake in a daze. He was truly out of his wits. His red robe fluttered around him like a glutton eating a plate of delicious food. Hsu Fengnian ignored the young Taoist who had mobilized so many people to invite the First Taoist Master. He stepped on the Kui Turtle and carried the Wordless Stone Tablet on his back as he paddled towards the Spring God Lake. Zhenwu Great Emperor's golden body turned around and faced the Qingzhou Navy. In an instant, they were only a few miles apart. Hsu Fengnian lifted his foot and Zhenwu Great Emperor followed like a shadow. He lifted his golden foot and was about to stomp down. The navy warships surrounded the shore of the Spring God Lake in an arc. The Yellow Dragon Warship that the King of Jing An, Zhao Xun, was on was the first ship to bear the brunt of the attack. It was about to be stomped down by the golden body. Most of the sailors had already prostrated themselves on the ground and awaited their deaths. The retinue of the King's Mansion was much more decisive. They ignored the fear in their hearts and leaped up in an attempt to block the foot of the immortal for the young King. In an instant, more than twenty people took out their weapons and rushed towards Zhenwu Great Emperor. However, they were all crushed back to the ship by the power of the stomp. Zhao Xun's face was pale. He held the cold hand of the woman beside him and looked at the sky. Just when Zhao Xun thought that he was going to die, a man in a plain Taoist robe swept across the water like a dragonfly skimming the surface of the water. He stepped on the flags of the warships and crashed into Zhenwu Great Emperor's foot. Hsu Fengnian hesitated for a moment but still stepped down slowly. Zhenwu Great Emperor continued to step down. The young Taoist's shoulder was badly mutilated. He gritted his teeth and said, "Your Highness, you can't rely on the power of heaven to kill people. Even if you use the Black Tortoise Dharmakaya for a moment, the Celestial Court and your real body will …"
Hsu Fengnian was expressionless as he continued to step down. The young Taoist was already forced to land on the Yellow Dragon Warship. The entire warship began to sink into the lake, leaving only the King of Jing An and Zhao Xun above the surface of the lake. After the Taoist panted, he knelt down on one knee and resisted Zhenwu Great Emperor's golden body and golden feet. He told Hsu Fengnian intermittently in a secret language with great difficulty, "Huaibei's Ranger He Zhu risked his life to deliver a token to Your Highness. It can't be delayed. At this moment, he has already rushed to the outside of the Quicksnow Villa. His life is hanging by a thread.
Hsu Fengnian frowned and withdrew his foot. Zhenwu Great Emperor finally could not maintain his hundred feet golden body and slowly dissipated. The wordless monument on the back of the big turtle cracked inch by inch. Hsu Fengnian looked back with a complicated expression. Originally, with Zhao Ningshen's cultivation and the foundation of Dragon Tiger Mountain, the first generation of the founding ancestor, and the other invited the Supreme Dharmakaya of Zhenwu Great Emperor. Both Dragon Tiger Mountain and Wudang Mountain could be said to have used all their strength. Even a blind man would know who was better and who was worse. Originally, with Zhao Ningshen's cultivation and the foundation of Dragon Tiger Mountain, the founding ancestor could be "free and unfettered" in the human world for the time it takes to burn three incense sticks of incense while the Zhenwu Great Emperor that Xu Fengnian invited could only last for half an incense stick's time. However, Xu Fengnian did not have much regret about it. Dragon Tiger Mountain and the Emperor of the Capital, the two Zhao families, had long been integrated into one. They shared fate and shared honor and disgrace. This time, he just treated it as beating a dog to show his master. Xu Fengnian's original intention was to lure the Celestial Being Zhao Huangchao to the Spring God Lake one day and kill both the Celestial Being and the Celestial Being. Zhao Ningshen was just by accident that Xu Fengnian had no choice but to reveal the Heaven's Secret and his trump card. However, Xu Fengnian did not have much regret about it. The two Zhao families, Dragon Tiger Mountain and the Emperor of the Capital, had long been integrated into one. They shared fate and honor. This time, he just treated it as beating a dog to show his master. Hsu Fengnian glanced at the young leader of Wudang who was kneeling on the ground to send off Zhenwu Great Emperor's Thousand Feet Golden Body. He did not have any ill feelings towards this young Taoist. In the long run, he had good intentions for stopping him from stepping on the Spring God Lake. Taking a deep breath, Hsu Fengnian covered his forehead with one hand. After the sharp pain, he was in a trance for a moment. His mind was as blank as a sheet of paper, as if he had forgotten something extremely important. However, he just could not remember it. Hsu Fengnian shook his head. Li Yufu staggered to his feet. His lips moved slightly as he sent a secret message, "That He Zhu is seriously injured. The Sword Qi in his body has already formed a shadow. He is only relying on the help of this little Taoist to keep him alive. He will not live for long. Your Highness, please go out of the villa and meet him …"
Hsu Fengnian rushed back to the villa and stood on the roof of the courtyard to look down. He saw that a rider took advantage of the turmoil in the villa and rushed straight to the gate. The young Ranger seemed to be trying his best to say something. However, at this time, the people in the villa were so shocked by the Thousand Feet Golden Body that came and went that they had no time to care about such a rude nobody. The galloping Ranger was like a headless fly. His chest was covered with blood, his face was pale, and he was about to fall off the horse. In his blurred vision, the Ranger saw a figure rushing over from the wall and helping him down from the horse. He sat on the ground against the wall and blood kept oozing out from the fingers covering his mouth. The white-haired young master in front of him knocked on several Aperture acupoints to stop the vicious Sword Qi that was wantonly running around in his body. The young master asked in a deep voice, "I am Hsu Fengnian. What do you want to give me?"
The ugly Ranger took out a hairpin from his arms and handed it to Hsu Fengnian with trembling hands. He said in a hoarse voice, "I am He Zhu. I met a young devil who killed people on the street and was seriously injured. I was saved by a Miss Jia. She asked me to send this hairpin to Beiliang. She said that she and Young Master Xu did not owe each other anything …"
Due to the final radiance of the setting sun before his death, He Zhu, who had regained some of his vigor, squeezed out an ugly smile and said slowly, "I was injured by the Sword Qi and rushed to Beiliang. I heard that there were scholars from Shangyin Academy who were rushing to Beiliang, so I wanted to go with them. I could only blame myself for being incompetent and fainted halfway. Fortunately, I was saved by Zhenren Li, the leader of Wudang Sect. Then I knew that Young Master Xu was in the villa. If I had known that Young Master Xu was His Royal Highness in Beiliang, I would not have agreed to this at that time. After all, the He family in Huaibei was exterminated by General Xu. But since I have promised Miss Jia, I have to keep my promise. I have to … "
Hsu Fengnian held the blood-stained hairpin tightly and asked softly, "How is Miss Jia?"
The ugly Ranger said worriedly, "I only know that Miss Jia has been fighting with three powerful devils for a long time. One of them has an amazing Sword Qi and killed people along the way. He calls himself Cut Willow. The other two also have an accent of Beimang. Zhenren Li of Wudang Sect has revealed the secret of heaven. They are most likely Level One masters in Beimang. When Miss Jia gave me the hairpin, she was in Qinghu City, which is more than 200 miles away from here. She was seriously injured in an alley called Plum Alley in the south of the city. I hope Young Master Xu can hurry to rescue her …"
Hsu Fengnian nodded and held his hand. He slowly injected Genuine Qi into his hand to prolong his life. "I see."
He Zhu shook his head and said, "Young Master Xu, you don't have to worry about my life or death."
Li Yufu floated over. Hsu Fengnian stood up and bowed deeply to He Zhu.
Li Yufu said softly, "Your Highness, don't worry. You can go north. Yufu will send Brother He on his last journey."
Xu Fengnian's hands pressed down lightly, and the ground shook. His body rose from the ground like a rainbow, crossing the sky and crossing the Quicksnow Mountain Villa.
Li Yufu squatted in front of He Zhu and held his pale face with both hands. The horse, which had been dependent on its master for many years, came to He Zhu's side. It lowered its head and touched He Zhu. Then it knelt on the ground and leaned against the corner of the wall to shelter its master from the cold.
He Zhu asked with a smile, "Zhenren Li, do you have any wine to drink?"
Li Yufu, whose shoulder was stained with blood, was in a dilemma. He Zhu shook his head and said with a smile, "Forget it. I don't have any money for wine. It was said that people were so poor that they could only make a ringing sound. However, He Zhu's pockets didn't make any ringing sounds at all. He Zhu had only been a wine tax collector in a small town. He was not good at reading people's faces. After a few years of muddle-headedness, the money he earned was only enough to take the horse that the military camp did not want. He wanted to walk around Jianghu and see … If only he could use poetry to buy wine … Young man is chivalrous and makes friends with five heroes. Liver and gallbladder holes, hair stands up. In the negotiation, life and death are the same. A promise is worth a thousand gold, a promise is worth a thousand gold … "
The young paladin's murmur gradually faded away. Li Yufu did not want to let go for a long time.
After a long time, the horse whimpered. Li Yufu stood up and put He Zhu on the horse's back. He led the horse out of the Snow Mountain Villa slowly.
