After Zhang Yu came out from the corner platform, he returned to the Ring Hall of Guangdu, where he was staying. He sat down and carefully comprehended the spiritual thoughts brought about by the sword just now.
If he were to fight against the "Upper Self", every bit of improvement in his fighting ability was important. He had always focused on the transformations of Dao. If he could improve it slightly, it would undoubtedly be of great help to him.
Another thing was to find the mystery behind the Void Scroll. If it was as he thought, it would be immeasurably helpful to him.
He sat there, and the attack in Guangdu was quickly resolved. The news of the retreat of the people of the Six Sects was naturally transmitted to the army headquarters by the people in the city through spiritual communication.
At the frontline of Yangdu, the two armies were still in a stalemate. In the past few days, as the Solar Stars of Creation were pushed up one by one, the spiritual power of the ancient white bats suspended in mid-air was greatly strengthened. They bombarded the ground with spiritual power day and night.
The Measureless God was not to be outdone, either. It unleashed a powerful spiritual aura to shield the city, but it was obvious that it lacked the ability to attack. Defense was its forte. The two sides fought like a spear and a shield. Every time their powers collided, it would cause a violent tremor. Every day, the mountains and the earth around Guangdu would shake.
Occasionally, there would be cultivators in Yangdu who tried to attack the ancient white bats with their magic weapons. However, the cultivators on King Xi's side would not sit idly by. Every time an attack appeared, they would send out their strength to intercept it. However, both sides seemed to be satisfied with this for the time being. They had no intention of investing more power.
The elders knew about King Lie's plan and were preparing to attack King Xi's rear to force him to come back. In this case, they did not need to rush to kill. Once their plan succeeded, King Xi would naturally retreat.
Although King Xi was more at ease with the rear, the imprisoned cultivators and creator-level alchemists hadn't completely submitted to his side yet. He wasn't willing to launch a strong attack without sufficient preparation. These days, he had only done his best to clear out the surrounding fortresses to pave the way for the upcoming attack.
In the royal boat, King Xi held his hands behind his back and held his whip. He stood in front of the crystal wall and looked at Yangdu.
An advisor came over and reported, "Your Highness, there is a military report from Guangdu."
King Xi immediately turned his head and took the report. He reached out his hand and stroked it. Rows of Hao Clan characters immediately appeared on the crystal plate. What was written on it was the news of the Six Sects being defeated. When he saw this, he couldn't help but feel elated.
He didn't think about how Zhang Yu was able to defeat the Six Sects by himself. After his perception was reversed, he only felt that it was natural, and it was also in line with his expectations.
He casually handed over the crystal board and asked, "How's it going over there?"
The advisor replied carefully, "Master said that it would take another seven or eight days."
King Xi tapped his whip twice against his palm and said, "Then let's wait a little longer."
On the other side, Daoist Yu was riding a cloud towards Huang City.
Attacking Guangdu wasn't a viable option, and the six great sects weren't willing to pay too much of a price. The only way left was to make a move on King Xi.
Everyone knew that King Xi was under a curse. If King Xi died, the army at the front would be in chaos, and this expedition wouldn't be able to continue.
However, the six great sects still didn't know who was in charge of this curse. They could only roughly confirm that the person who cast the curse was in King Lie's territory.
Therefore, he guessed that this was most likely ordered by King Lie. He also guessed that King Lie intended to sit back and watch the two sides fight to exhaust their strength. Then, he would come out and find an opportunity to clean up the mess. This was also in line with his own interests. The six great sects could tolerate this, but they couldn't tolerate King Lie doing this behind their backs.
Two days later, Daoist Yu arrived at Huang City. Under the guidance of the cultivators who were originally stationed here, he only waited for half a day before he met King Lie.
After both sides met, he took the initiative to greet, "Greetings, Your Highness."
King Lie sat on his seat and bowed. He chuckled and said, "This must be Master Yu. Greetings."
After greeting each other, both sides sat down. Daoist Yu asked, "I wonder what Your Highness thinks about my attack on Guangdu?"
King Lie said indifferently, "I didn't think much about it. Didn't I leave everything to your side? Why, are there any twists and turns in this matter? "
Daoist Yu said vaguely, "Guangdu's defense is tight. King Xi has also made arrangements. We tested it and found it difficult to break through in a short period of time. This also makes it difficult for King Xi to withdraw his troops from the front line. Therefore, we have to find another way."
King Lie sighed and said, "If you can't do anything, then I can't do anything either."
Daoist Yu looked at him and said, "No, there is still a way."
King Lie was interested and asked, "What way?"
Daoist Yu looked at him and said, "Your Highness, don't you know?"
Lie King could not help but be taken aback. With an innocent expression, he asked, "What did I know this time?" He looked at the advisor beside him. "Did I forget something?"
The advisor said, "Your Highness is talented and intelligent. How can you forget?" He turned to Daoist Yu and said, "Master Yu, please say what you want to say."
Daoist Yu thought for a while and decided to go straight to the point. He raised his head and said, "King Lie must know about King Xi's curse?"
"I know." King Lie nodded and said, "How can I not know? But didn't you say that King Xi's curse has been dissolved? "
Daoist Yu said, "As far as I know, it hasn't been dissolved. It's just that King Xi used a method to weaken the curse."
King Lie didn't understand and said, "Oh? Is that so? But King Xi can still lead the army to battle? It seems that the curse doesn't have much effect on him. "
Daoist Yu said, "This is also something that we have some doubts about. However, we have a guess. Perhaps King Xi felt that he didn't have much time left, so he wanted to resolve this matter while he was still alive. Thus, he used a secret technique to temporarily suppress the power of the curse.
If that's the case, King Xi must be forcing himself to fight. If there's a way to strengthen the curse, then maybe we can kill him. This way, not only can we resolve the siege of Yang City, we can also use this to inflict heavy losses on King Xi's army and return peace to the people of the Hao Clan! "
King Lie said, "If that's the case, then it's a good thing. But how can the curse be strengthened?"
Daoist Yu looked at him and didn't say anything.
The advisor said, "Daoist Yu, do you think that this is His Highness' curse?" Without waiting for a reply, he said, "Daoist Yu, you think too much. If His Highness could control this kind of curse, he would have cursed King Xi to death long ago. Why would he need others to urge him?"
King Lie nodded repeatedly, indicating that he was right.
Daoist Yu said, "I didn't say that it was His Highness, but I can confirm that the person who mastered the curse is indeed in His Highness' territory."
The advisor glanced at King Lie and said, "How do you know?"
Daoist Yu said, "Advisor, don't forget that the Everlasting Sect of the Six Sects is especially good at calculation. This is what the Daoist from the Everlasting Sect said, so it's most likely correct."
The advisor laughed and said, "Being in His Highness' territory doesn't mean that he's under His Highness. To be able to use the curse, he must be a skilled cultivator. If he doesn't want to reveal his identity and is cultivating in seclusion, then we have no way of finding out. After all, everyone knows that His Highness has always been lenient towards cultivators. "
Daoist Yu nodded and said, "So King Lie doesn't know." He changed the topic, "Then King Lie, do you mind if we look for this person in your territory?"
King Lie said, "Of course. Other than my King Lie Manor, Supreme Yu can go anywhere. If you find this person, just let me know."
Daoist Yu said, "Thank you, Your Highness."
At this moment, he added, "Although the power of the curse had once caused King Xi to fall into a coma, King Xi woke up after receiving guidance from an expert. Since then, he has never fainted again, which means that King Xi has found a way to deal with it. I am looking for the person who cast the curse. One person is not wise enough, but if we pool our thoughts together, we will be able to find a suitable way to use the curse."
As he said this, he stood up and said, "I've disturbed you for a long time today. I won't disturb Your Highness from your work. I'll take my leave now."
King Lie said, "Alright, alright." He instructed the advisor, "Advisor Wu, let me send Supreme Yu off."
Advisor Wu stood up and bowed. He complied and sent Daoist Yu off.
When he returned, he saw King Lie sitting on the throne. However, he didn't have the frivolous expression he had in the palace. Instead, he looked serious and asked, "Do you think he can find him?"
Advisor Wu said, "Your Highness, although the Everlasting Sect is good at calculation, we can also find ways to hide from the heavens."
King Lie said, "Do you think we should take out the curse item and let them find a way to kill King Xi?"
The advisor said, "Your Highness, I don't think it's appropriate. The cursed weapon is our killing move. If anyone disagrees, we can use it in the future. However, if anyone finds out, we may not be able to keep it.
Although the cultivators are one with me, Your Highness is not a cultivator. If Your Highness wants to ensure that your foundation is stable and your descendants will last for generations, then you must have your own killing move. A killing move that won't be affected by the cultivators. Moreover, do these cultivators really not have any better ideas?
The Six Sects have such a deep foundation. How can they be so helpless now? Most likely, they are hiding something and aren't willing to use it. "
King Lie narrowed his eyes and said, "That's not necessarily true. If they really had the ability, they wouldn't have been chased out of the heavens. Moreover, those who really have the means are either still in seclusion or have disappeared." He thought for a moment and said, "Let's wait a little longer. Right now, King Xi is the real enemy. Everything should be based on the overall situation. If they really can't come up with anything, then we'll give the cursed weapon to them."
Another month later, King Xi was resting with his eyes closed in the royal boat. Over the past few days, because the curse power continued to increase, he gradually felt uncomfortable. However, this body could still hold on for a long time, enough for him to finish this battle.
At this moment, the creator came to his side and bowed, "Your Highness."
King Xi said, "Speak."
The creator whispered, "Your Highness, the people over there have arrived."
King Xi opened his eyes. At this moment, he looked in a certain direction and saw that Shi Yanxin was already standing there. He said, "Esteemed Master, does this mean that everyone can be used by me?"
Shi Yanxin nodded and said, "Yes."
King Xi agreed and stood up from his throne. He pointed his staff at the distant Yang Du and said, "Pass down the order. Quickly summon all the captains here. This Central Region … should have a new master."
