Zhang Yu was practicing his Taoist techniques in the cabin. At this moment, he sensed a flexible sword light landing in the city. He opened his eyes to take a look.
He knew that Yao Zhenjun had crossed the threshold a few days ago and achieved something. However, her swordsmanship was somewhat unique. If he was not mistaken, it should be one of the 36 Sword Spirits, "Forced Light Rotation".
This technique allowed the sword owner to move freely within the range of the sword light. They could also use the light to enter and exit. It was not the most powerful attack method, but it was top-notch in terms of stealth and leaping. If someone was not prepared, they would not be able to withstand this sword.
The upper limit of this Sword Spirit was extremely high. It all depended on how the master used it.
It was not difficult for him to sense that this person had also borrowed his seal as a ladder. However, she had improved it to a certain extent and turned it into her own.
Moreover, this person's intentions were high. The step in front of him was only the first step. If it was the original owner, she would probably have higher goals. Perhaps she would have also created her own seal.
This was also the persistence of sword cultivators. They would never admit that they were weaker than others.
He was also happy to see this happen. Only when more and more people reached the upper realm could the Xuan technique flourish.
However, up until now, all the cultivators had used the Xuan chapter to reach the upper realm. Not a single Xuanxiu had used the Hun chapter to reach the upper realm. Most of the successful people had used the True technique to reach the Hun chapter. However, such people would eventually appear.
With this thought, he closed his eyes and continued to meditate.
At the same time, Yin Huanting and the others were waiting for Yao Zhenjun's arrival at the top of the Great Ring Platform.
Although breaking through in this world might not necessarily mean that she could break through in Tianxia, it was undoubtedly a breakthrough. She was one step ahead of them.
Moreover, Yao Zhenjun was the first person to clearly prove that she could not only recover her cultivation in this world, but also break through. If one person could do it, it meant that more people could do it.
As a gentle sword light flashed, Yao Zhenjun moved from another part of the city to this place. Her eyes were clear, her steps were relaxed, and her aura was restrained. Just from the surface, it was impossible to tell that she was a cultivator who had broken through to the upper realm.
Yin Huanting recognized her. Solemnly, he saluted her and said, "Fellow Daoist Yao, greetings." The cultivators beside him also saluted her.
Yao Zhenjun returned the greeting with her sword, "Greetings, fellow Daoists."
Yin Huanting said, "Fellow Daoist Yao, according to the current era, it has been more than 30 years since the Mianlu City was established. More than 30,000 fellow Daoists have gathered here.
However, ever since it was built, this city has always been under the oppression of the Boundless Race, and it could be destroyed by external forces at any time. Although everything can be rebuilt, we don't wish to see the efforts of fellow Daoists go to waste. It's just that we currently lack the power of the upper echelons. With Fellow Daoist's arrival, things can be a little more stable. "
The sword in Yao Zhenjun's hand emitted a soft hum. She said seriously, "If you want peace, you should dare to fight."
Yin Huanting nodded, deeply agreeing with her. If they wanted to let them know that the Mianlu City was not to be trifled with, there would definitely be a battle. Moreover, it might not be just one battle, but many battles.
Currently, the main pressure came from the Boundless Race's King Xi. Now that the battle at the frontlines had been delayed, they still had some time. He believed that as time dragged on, more fellow Daoists like Yao Zhenjun who had broken through to the upper realm would appear. At that time, under the restraint of the various forces on the Earth Continent, they wouldn't have to worry about any side.
At the frontlines of the Spirit Corner City, King Xi was staring at the map in the main hall of Wang Zhou. The map represented that the defensive fortifications of the Spirit Corner City were left with only the last section left. His army had surrounded this area from the west, north, and south.
However, they hadn't completely surrounded it. The empty east side led directly to the central region. The elder group's assistance could be continuously sent over from there. It was very difficult to break through.
At this moment, Mr. Chen walked over carefully. He stood behind King Xi and said, "Your Highness …"
King Xi didn't turn around. He said, "What? Are those Celestial Beings still unwilling? "
Mr. Chen said bitterly, "Those Celestial Beings said that they weren't soldiers and that they only participated in the battle out of morality. They had already done their duty by breaking through the Arched Back Pass, Your Highness. Therefore, they aren't willing to serve you anymore."
There was a rare trace of anger in King Xi's voice. He whipped the air with his cane and said, "They dare to say that. Do they think that I can't do anything to them?"
Mr. Chen lowered his head. At present, he really couldn't do anything to these Celestial Beings because they didn't fear death. Even if he trapped them, it would be useless. Instead, he would only bring more trouble to himself.
He had also asked those cultivators who had the upper echelons of power. They also said that they didn't know the reason behind the resurrection of the dead. If they were in King Xi's shoes, they wouldn't be able to do anything either.
He thought for a moment and tried asking, "Your Highness, these Celestial Beings were originally under Zhu Zonghu's command. Could it be that they received orders from Zhu Zonghu?"
King Xi snorted and said, "I can't order them, but can Bian Ye?" He turned around and whipped the palm of his hand with his cane. "However, you did remind me of something. Bian Ye has been in the city for more than thirty years and seems to have built up some foundation. Let him bring his troops to join my army."
Mr. Chen's spirits rose and he said, "Yes!"
Ten days later, King Xi's letter was delivered to Mian Lu City.
Although Zhu Zonghu had received the news, he wasn't as uncertain as before. He calmly asked someone to invite Zhang Yu and Yin Huanting over.
After the two of them arrived and greeted each other, he invited them to sit down and said, "Just as Mr. Tao and Mr. Yin have seen, King Xi has indeed made a move against me." He ordered his attendant to deliver the letter to the two of them for them to read. He said, "This time, King Xi has sent an order for me to lead an army to assist in the battle."
Mr. Yin took a look at the letter and said, "Then what does Zonghu mean?"
Daoist Wang said from the side, "Naturally, you can't agree. If Zonghu goes, King Xi can casually find an excuse to deal with Zonghu. Without Zonghu, the entire fief will lose its name."
Zhu Zonghu calmly said, "If I go there, King Xi will say that I 'voluntarily' gave up the fief. I don't need to write this order myself. As long as I can prove that I wrote it, no one can question it. If it's even more unreasonable, I can even skip this process. Therefore, I've decided … "
He looked at Zhang Yu and Yin Huanting and said firmly, "You can't agree!"
Yin Huanting nodded.
Daoist Wang said, "Of course Zonghu can't agree, but you can find a few excuses. As long as you don't openly fall out with King Xi, King Xi won't lead an army to attack at this time. After all, the curse on King Xi's body hasn't been completely dispelled, and he still needs Zonghu's help.
However, we can't rule out the possibility that King Xi will use other methods, or secretly instigate other relatives to make a move. For example, Kuang Bo, Zhu Yanding, who tried to seize the fief last time, may send a force from the upper echelons to directly suppress us. "
Zhu Zonghu sincerely said, "Mianlu City was built by all of us together. I want to do my best to protect this place and our foundation. Whether or not we can stop them this time will depend on all of you." As he said this, he raised his hand and bowed.
Yin Huanting stood up from his seat and bowed in return. He said, "Zhu Zonghu is right. This city was built by all of us together, so we naturally can't allow it to be casually destroyed. Zonghu can write a letter to refuse. We have already made preparations to deal with it."
Zhu Zonghu's heart calmed down when he heard him say this. He said to Daoist Wang, "Wang Zhidao, I'll have to trouble you to write a reply for me. Just say that I haven't had enough energy recently, and there are still internal problems under my rule, so I can't go to the east to provide support. I hope Uncle won't take offense."
Daoist Wang solemnly bowed and said, "This subordinate obeys!"
Half a month after Mianlu City sent out the letter, Kuang Bo, Zhu Yanding, was flipping through the documents sent up from below. Beside him, Mister Xu said, "Master, recently the soldiers have been complaining …"
Zhu Yanding smiled and said, "We've been fighting outside for ten years. Not to mention them, even I am a little tired. But can we retreat now? My uncle is waiting for you. "
Mister Xu was puzzled. "Waiting for what?"
Zhu Yanding said in a matter-of-fact manner, "Waiting to kill them. If anyone dares to jump out and suggest retreating first, then we'll drag them out and kill them. While we're at it, we'll divide up their fiefs and give them to pacify everyone. Like this, the remaining people won't dare to speak."
Mister Xu didn't dare to speak.
At this time, Zhu Yanding seemed to think of something. He knocked on the table and said, "There is one thing. About Zhu Bianye's fief, my uncle mentioned it to me after the military meeting yesterday. It seems he finally remembered that he had already promised that place to me …"
He revealed a playful expression. "Mister Xu, have Refiner Han make a trip there. Last time, that brat Zhu Bianye managed to escape. I hope he'll be able to save up a little more this time."
Mister Xu immediately complied. He took out the golden token and left. When he arrived at the roof of the boat, he took out a crystal plate and shined it into the sky. Under the illumination of the Heavenly Star of Creation, a beam of light shined down onto the ground.
When the light dissipated, a man dressed in an overcoat and covered in deep blue spiritual flames appeared in front of him. He held a sword staff that was as long as his body. It was also shining with spiritual light.
Mister Xu said, "Refiner Han, this is the master's golden token. He wants you to make a trip to Mianlu City. King Xi has already bestowed this to the master. I'll have to trouble you to retrieve it."
Refiner Han took the golden token and examined it. After confirming that it was a real talisman token, he put it away and said, "Does Uncle Kuang have any other instructions?"
Mister Xu said, "Try not to destroy too much of the fief. The master still has a use for it. Oh right, Zhu Zonghu has a Myriad Spirit Institute's Appraiser Bird by his side. However, this time, he received orders from King Xi, so he might not encounter it. However, we still have to be careful."
Refiner Han said in an indifferent tone, "It doesn't matter even if it's there. I've dealt with the upper cultivators of the Six Sects beyond the Heavens and the creations of the Three Great Institutes. It's no big deal. Mister Xu, please go back and tell Uncle Kuang that I'll be back by tomorrow at the latest. I'll give Uncle Kuang a reply. "
After he finished speaking, he put away the golden token. The spiritual light on his body suddenly expanded and a beam of light shot into the sky. As the light flickered in the night sky, it disappeared.
