Chapter 225

The youth in grey linen robes glanced sideways:

"A fake Confucian sage like you also wants to lecture Zhuang?"

Xuanyuan Beijing looked sincere:

"I dare not, but doing many unrighteous deeds will lead to one's own destruction. I just want to advise you not to be too unscrupulous in your actions."

Zhuang Buran laughed dumbly:

"Everyone says your reading is not very good. Before 'doing many unrighteous deeds will lead to one's own destruction,' there is another sentence: 'Three feet above one's head, there are gods'."

"Zhuang is a reincarnated immortal, so my heart and actions are as clear as a mirror, and everything I do is justice. Where does the talk of unrighteousness come from?"

"Your style of conduct really makes it hard for Beijing to feel it is an act of justice."

"Hehe, full of sour rot, only knowing how to chew on words and stick to dogmas. No wonder there is always talk in the world that scholars are hard to achieve great things."

The youth in grey linen robes looked Xuanyuan Beijing up and down, then looked at the graceful woman behind him, and said:

"If you hesitate, you will suffer chaos; if you cut but do not cut, there will be future troubles. It is said that things you are powerless to do should be cut, people you have no fate with should be abandoned, and all worldly desires and obsessions should be left behind."

"A cheap woman who does not keep her chastity, yet you have been unable to forget her for a long time and cannot let go. Where do you get the face to criticize Zhuang's actions?"

"The reason I didn't attack you is just because I think a fake moral Confucian sage and a slut who is available to everyone are a perfect match, and you should grow old together."

Such vicious words made the three people present feel that even if the youth in grey linen robes was an immortal, he was a demonic immortal who committed all kinds of evil.

Zhuang Buran had no more interest in talking, turned around and strode away, while Xuanyuan Dapan and the others followed closely with expressionless faces.

The woman looked at the back of the youth in grey linen robes as he left, and seeing her daughter was also there, she felt ashamed and angry. Just as she was preparing to bump her head against a pillar and die, a voice with a hint of laughter came:

"If you dare to die and let Xuanyuan Beijing grow old alone, Zhuang will make the Xuanyuan family extinct from now on, and let you mother and daughter go to the Yellow Springs together."

Instantly, the woman grabbed her daughter in terror, fearing she would suddenly lose her life.

Xuanyuan Beijing frowned, because even if he risked everything, it would just be throwing his life away, and it might even implicate his wife and daughter.

Therefore, he began to endure humiliation as always, watching the crowd in front leave.

More than two months later.

The world's winds and clouds rose again, and no one knew why the ancestor of the Xuanyuan family of Huishan actually attacked the Beiliang army.

What surprised the major forces most was that Xuanyuan Dapan, who had been in seclusion on Snow Terrace for many years, had silently broken through to the Land Immortal realm.

Xuanyuan Guoji, Xuanyuan Jingyi, and Xuanyuan Jingxuan, the father and two sons, had also reached the Heavenly Image realm.

And the martial arts of the guest ministers under his command, many had reached the Zhixuan realm, and the rest, like the hundreds of elite cavalry, were actually all in the Vajra realm.

This stunned the major forces. One must know that the Vajra realm is already a first-class expert in the Jianghu, and there are probably only a few hundred in the whole world.

And the existence of the Zhixuan realm is like a towering tree standing in the martial arts world. In the Taoist sect, it is a True Person with hope of ascension; in the Buddhist sect, it is a living Buddha who can manifest relics; in Confucianism, it is a scholar with hope of becoming a sage.

The martial arts wanderers outside the three teachings are even more fierce and domineering, able to prove the Dao with strength, without relying on external forces, purely resisting the great tribulation of heaven's might with their physical bodies.

This sudden change in the Xuanyuan family completely overshadowed the Wu Family Sword Tomb and the Beiliang Wangfu.

In terms of mid-to-high-end combat power, it had reached a point where no one in the world could match it.

Therefore, during these days, the generals at all levels of the Beiliang army were in bad luck, being assassinated by numerous Vajra-realm death soldiers and assassins using all kinds of extreme methods.

What made people fear most was that these assassins and death soldiers were as cold as dead objects, as if they had no pain at all. After discovering they were in a desperate situation, they even had the ability to self-destruct, endangering a radius of ten feet.

In just a short time, the fearless Beiliang army could not avoid chaos, just because facing invisible enemies, the situation of potentially dying at any time, and their own tightly stretched spirits, I don't know how many Beiliang soldiers, who were already bloodthirsty, were driven mad.

After all, Xu Xiao, who had the name of Human Butcher, and his adopted sons below, both Chen Zhibao, the Little Human Butcher, and Chu Lushan, who was cruel, honey-tongued but sword-hearted, and lustful, followed the example of their superiors, from which one could glimpse the military discipline of the Beiliang army.

It is no wonder that the Beiliang army was not regarded as their own by the various forces of Liyang, and even despised as barbarians. From this, one could glimpse a little of the military discipline of the Beiliang army.

During this period, Xuanyuan Guoji and his son silently assassinated two of Xu Xiao's adopted sons, namely Ye Xizhen and Yao Jian.

And Xuanyuan Dapan, regardless of his status as an Earth Immortal, captured and killed Chu Lushan, who was protected by three thousand elite soldiers.

As a result, the current continuous camps stationed everywhere in Qingliang Mountain, from the foot of the mountain to the top, can be said to have a post every three steps and a sentry every five steps, with at least one hundred thousand infantry.

At the foot of the mountain, there is not only the Snow Dragon Cavalry Army with a total strength of ten thousand, known as the number one cavalry in the world.

There are also the Right Cavalry Army and the Left Cavalry Army, the main field forces of Beiliang, with a total of seventy or eighty thousand elite cavalry.

In addition, six thousand heavy cavalry and ten thousand light cavalry are stationed.

The various encounters in recent days, and the disappearance of the youth in grey linen robes, made the hidden trend of the coming storm intensify. The Beiliang Wangfu very cautiously mobilized two hundred thousand troops to guard Qingliang Mountain.

Just because all the changes started from the Southeast of Liyang, the disappearance of that Enlightened Reincarnated Immortal, and the inexplicable surprise attack by the Xuanyuan family in the Southeast, all pointed to something.

Not to mention that the youth in grey linen robes was a vicious person who, for the sake of a dog he kept, would make the Beiliang Prince pay with blood.

This day.

A group of people from the Xuanyuan family came on horseback, immediately making the Snow Dragon Cavalry Army guarding the main road up the mountain solemn and facing a great enemy. The general in the lead was Yuan Zuozong, the second of Xu Xiao's six adopted sons.

The surrounding elite cavalry were also quickly mobilizing, and there were countless powerful crossbows aimed at the enemy.

A white cloud suddenly drifted in the sky, and a youth in grey linen robes was seen lying lazily on the cloud.

He spat out a word nonchalantly:

"Kill!"

Instantly, the Xuanyuan family, with Xuanyuan Dapan as the sword tip, charged forward.

The Snow Dragon Cavalry Army was not afraid of danger, putting life and death aside, ignoring the grand aura sweeping over from the Earth Immortal.

Yuan Zuozong showed a cold smile. As one of the top three experts in the entire Liyang army, and also an ever-victorious general, he felt the enemy was incredibly stupid, actually giving up their own great advantage and choosing a frontal assault.

It really matched his consistent impression of Jianghu martial artists—arrogant, domineering, and thinking they were omnipotent.

However, in front of a well-organized army, everything would be like clay chickens and pottery dogs.

Even if it is a so-called Land Immortal, as long as it is still a body of flesh and blood, how many rounds of army attacks can it block?

Thinking of this, he saw the enemy had reached the range where they could attack, and immediately ordered, arrows shooting out like a sky-covering net.

But he saw that from Xuanyuan Dapan down to the cavalry, everyone faced it indifferently. When the arrows approached, a layer of water armor appeared on their bodies, making the overwhelming rain of arrows useless.

In a moment, the youth in grey linen robes shook the area for a hundred miles.

"Xu the Lame, you must hide well. In the past, when Wang Xianzhi faced the desperate situation of sixty thousand troops pressing on the city, he relied on his own strength to kill three in and three out of the army, among which were elites from major Jianghu sects like the East Yue Sword Pool."

"There was also the Wu Family Nine Swords killing ten thousand cavalry, among which two were in the Heavenly Image realm, and at least one was in the Zhixuan realm, dragging ten thousand heavy cavalry of Northern Mang to death."

"Let's see today if one Land Immortal realm, four Heavenly Image realms, a dozen Zhixuan realms, and hundreds of Vajra realms can fight all the way to the Beiliang Wangfu."

"If you can't hold on and I break through the Wangfu."

When the words reached here, a burst of laughter resounded through the sky.

"Hahaha, this is called 'the ruler rises because of this, and will perish because of this.' Zhuang will definitely exterminate your whole family, making you live up to your name as the Human Butcher."
