Chapter 356

"Absolutely true! It is said that the Dragon Lord of the Eastern Sea truly arrived in person at Mount Qingliang of Northern Liang when the Seven-day deadline arrived!"

"He... he alone stood against the entire Wang Fu of Northern Liang! That scene was simply... world-destroying!"

"I heard that Northern Liang King Xu Xiao deployed the thirty thousand Great Snow Dragon Cavalry into an unparalleled military formation capable of suppressing Earth Immortals!"

"The killing qi of that formation condensed into a silver snow dragon a thousand zhang long! Its momentum was so fierce it could make heaven and earth change color!"

"But... but before that Dragon Lord, it... it could not even withstand a single move, and was blasted apart by a purple heavenly thunderbolt that descended from the sky!"

"Thirty thousand Great Snow Dragon Cavalry, countless dead and wounded, collapsed on the spot!"

"This... this is too exaggerated, right?! That was an army of three hundred thousand! Not three hundred thousand chickens!"

"This is not the end! It is said that afterwards, the legendary Peach Blossom Sword God Deng Tai'e, and the Sword God Li Chungang who drew a prison around himself for twenty years and opened the Heavenly Gate with a single sword, two peerless Sword Gods, actually appeared simultaneously and joined forces to oppose that Dragon Lord!"

"And the result? And the result?"

"The result... the result was that both Sword Gods also lost! They lost... miserably! It is said they did not even leave behind their bones; their souls were completely extinguished!"

"Hiss! Even two Sword Gods joining forces were not his match?! Then... then just how terrifying has the strength of this Dragon Lord become?!"

"The m... most crucial thing is that Northern Liang King Xu Xiao, and his two daughters who are also exceptionally talented, Xu Weixiong and Xu Zhihu, seem... seem to have also..."

"What happened? Speak quickly!"

"It is said that Xu Zhihu was directly captured alive by that Dragon Lord and has vanished without a trace! And Northern Liang King Xu Xiao was even personally... tortured to death by his own two daughters, Xu Weixiong and the fallen Chu Princess Jiang Ni, in front of hundreds of thousands of martial artists! His death was incredibly tragic!"

"What?! This... how did this happen?! Why did Xu Weixiong and Jiang Ni kill their own father/benefactor?!"

"It is said that the Dragon Lord publicly exposed some shameful matters of Northern Liang King Xu Xiao from years ago! He said that Xu Weixiong and Jiang Ni are actually daughters of Xu Xiao's father's killers! They were raised by Xu Xiao who mistook an enemy for a father!"

"Heavens! Northern Liang King Xu Xiao is actually... actually such a despicable and shameless, unforgivable scoundrel?!"

"No wonder! No wonder he was called the 'Human Butcher'! He is simply... deserving of death!"

"A generation of Human Butcher perished here! The Wang Fu of Northern Liang also completely... vanished from this world."

"Sigh, truly令人... sighing."

For a moment, the entire martial world boiled completely because of this news!

Everyone who heard this news felt their scalps go numb and their hearts and gallbladders crack!

The name of the Dragon Lord of the Eastern Sea, Brother Ning Chuan, resounded throughout the entire world at this moment!

He became a taboo-like existence that no one dared to mention lightly and no one dared to provoke lightly!

His fame had even surpassed those so-called Earth Immortals, reaching a brand new, myth-like realm that people could only look up to!

The Wu Family Sword Tomb.

This ancient family that has inherited for hundreds of years, living by the sword and burying the sword.

At this moment, it too was Solemn.

Deep within the Sword Tomb, an old man with white hair and beard, a withered face, but eyes异常 sharp as if able to see through people's hearts, was quietly listening to a report from a middle-aged clan member before him.

This old man was the current Laozu Sect of the Wu Family Sword Tomb, an old monster with unfathomable strength who had long entered the Immortal Realm.

"Laozu Sect, the Wang Fu of Northern Liang... has truly been annihilated." The middle-aged clan member said with a trembling voice, "That Dragon Lord of the Eastern Sea suppressed everything with his own strength."

Upon hearing this, the Wu Family Laozu Sect remained silent for a long, long time.

Finally, he slowly sighed and said in a hoarse voice, "Sigh... the era has truly changed."

"This world will ultimately fall into chaos."

He paused, a complex light flashing in his eyes, and continued, "I heard that when Sword God Li Chungang perished, he left behind the peerless famous sword in his hand—the Great Liang Long Que—in Northern Liang."

"That sword was cast by our Wu Family ancestor and has a very deep connection with our Wu Family Sword Tomb."

"Perhaps... we should send someone to take a trip to Mount Qingliang."

"See if we can exchange the Great Liang Long Que... back from that Dragon Lord."

He knew this matter was extremely dangerous, but for the inheritance of the Wu Family Sword Tomb, he must try.

The coast of the Eastern Sea, Wudi City.

On the city tower standing on the city wall, as if trying to compete with the sky in height.

A man dressed in a white cloth robe, with an ordinary face, but emitting an unparalleled domineering aura of being alone supreme and invincible under heaven, stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the surging sea.

He was the one who claimed to be "Second Under Heaven," but was actually the undisputed First Under Heaven—the Lord of Wudi City, Wang Wang Xianzhi!

He too had heard the news about the Battle of the Eastern Sea.

In his eyes, which were as calm as an ancient well, a truly interested expression appeared for the first time.

"Dragon Lord of the Eastern Sea? Brother Ning Chuan?"

"Interesting, truly interesting."

"To suppress two Sword Gods with his own strength and annihilate an army of three hundred thousand."

"Such strength, such methods, have long surpassed the Fan Chou of the mundane world."

"Perhaps... only he has the qualification to be my Wang Wang Xianzhi's opponent!"

"Only he can help me... break through that final step and catch a glimpse of the scenery To a higher level!"

He planned to wait a few more days until his state was adjusted to the extreme.

Then personally go to Taohuadao in the Eastern Sea to meet that legendary Dragon Lord of the Eastern Sea!

Use a hearty great battle to verify his martial Dao! And also... seek that ultimate breakthrough!

Liyang Dynasty, the imperial capital Tai'an City.

Inside the Jin Bihuihuang and heavily guarded imperial palace, the atmosphere was suppressed to the extreme.

The young Liyang Emperor Zhao Dun, after listening to the detailed report from his secret agent about the Battle of Northern Liang.

The face that had once carried a hint of youth and gloom was now filled with indescribable, complex emotions.

There was shock, there was anger, and also... a trace of barely concealed狂喜!

The shock came from the fact that the power of that Eastern Sea Dragon Lord was actually so terrifying!

The anger stemmed from the realization that he, Xu Xiao the old dog, had been used as a pawn to threaten that terrifying existence!

And the狂喜 was because...

The thorn in his eye, the splinter in his flesh that had been deeply embedded in his heart like a poisonous thorn, keeping him from sleeping at night and tasting food, the Beiliang Wang Fu...

Had actually... actually been wiped out?!

For him, this was undoubtedly the greatest good news!

But after the狂喜 came endless headaches and troubles.

Although the Beiliang Wang Fu had been destroyed, the Northern Manchu Dynasty, which had been eyeing the Central Plains with greed, was about to take advantage of the situation!

Once the thirty thousand Great Snow Dragon Cavalry of Beiliang, who guarded the region, were gone.

The million iron cavalry of the Northern Manchu could march straight in and trample the Central Plains flat!

By then, his Liyang Dynasty would probably also... be in imminent danger!

"My lords, what is your opinion on this matter...?"

Zhao Dun looked at the civil and military officials below, who were silent as crickets and exchanging glances, and asked in a hoarse voice.

The ministers discussed the matter fervently, yet none had a solution.

Send troops to Beiliang? How could the Liyang army contend with those fierce Northern Manchu iron cavalry?

Ask for help from that Eastern Sea Dragon Lord? What a joke! That person was ruthless enough to wipe out the Beiliang Wang Fu without a second thought! It was already good enough not to provoke him, let alone dare to ask for his help!

In the end, it was Zhang Julu, the Grand Preceptor who had stood silently in the corner, looking somewhat sickly, who slowly spoke up and proposed a bold suggestion that shocked everyone:

"Your Majesty, in my humble opinion, there is only one way forward."

"That is... to grant the entire Beiliang Circuit to that Eastern Sea Dragon Lord of Taohuadao!"

"Exchange one region for the peace of the entire nation! Rely on the supreme divine might of that Dragon Lord to resist the Northern Manchu iron cavalry about to march south!"

"This... is the strategy of driving the tiger to swallow the wolf!"
