Chapter 199

Time flies like a white horse passing a gap, and in the blink of an eye, half a month has passed.

Under the instigation of those who care, the things that happened outside Taian City soon flowed out and gradually fermented with the passage of time.

In an instant, the world was silent, and the Jianghu lost its voice.

No one could have imagined that the Martial Madman who had just become the world's number one would cause another big event in less than a month.

Just over half a month ago, Liyang Grand General Xu Xiao and another Spring and Autumn famous general, Gu Jiantang, led a total of 400,000 troops to Taian City, including many First Rank experts including the former Sword God Li Chungang, with the purpose of killing Wu Xian, the newly promoted world number one.

Such a gorgeous lineup is enough to start a war of destroying a country, but now it is rumored that it is only aimed at a martial artist.

To be honest, not blowing or blackening, if I heard this news two months ago, people in the Jianghu would probably only feel funny and think that the person or force spreading this rumor must have a broken brain, otherwise why wouldn't they even know how to make up a story, and they wouldn't be afraid of laughing their teeth off.

However, facts have proven that sometimes the truth is more outrageous than rumors.

The siege of one person by hundreds of thousands of troops is not only true, but what is even more ridiculous is that the person still won this unfair war in the end.

After this battle, nearly 400,000 iron cavalry troops did not survive, all died. It is said that on that day, blood flowed like a river outside Taian City, resentment rushed to the sky, and a hundred miles around turned into a ghost domain.

Not only that, not long after the end of this great battle, news came again that the descendants of the Liyang Zhao family, who were originally scattered in the twenty-four states, all committed suicide at home, and not even a single relative of the clan was left.

Since then, the Liyang Dynasty has completely declined, its national destiny has dissipated, and it will soon become the dust of history.

In contrast, as the only remaining dynasty force in the Central Plains, the Chu State actually became the final winner of this Spring and Autumn war, which can be called lying down to win.

However, for this good news, the Chu State court and the public could not be happy at all.

Because they got the gossip that the peerless madman who destroyed the Liyang Dynasty with one hand had already left the Liyang border and was heading west, heading toward the direction of the Chu State.

What is he going to do?

Pure travel, enjoying the scenery of Western Chu, or is it not enough to destroy Liyang, and he intends to destroy Western Chu as well?

For a time, everyone in the Chu court was in danger. The Chu Emperor simply didn't even attend the morning court, handed over all government affairs to the Chief Assistant and other ministers, played the role of ruling by doing nothing, and issued an edict for the Military Saint Ye Baikui to lead troops to guard the surroundings of the imperial city, 24 hours a day without rest, to buy him time to escape.

At the same time, the Northern Mang grassland, which had started civil strife again, heard that such a peerless fierce person had appeared in the Central Plains. While gloating, they could not help but be uneasy.

It is really because the strength of this world's number one is too incredible. It is completely incomprehensible why a mere martial artist can possess this power.

You know, the previous world number one, Wang Xianzhi, had the most dazzling record, which was only entering and exiting three times in 60,000 troops, which is essentially different from slaughtering 60,000 people.

And Wu Xian? He directly came with a super doubling, 400,000 troops said to be gone... Where is this world's number one Martial Madman, it is clearly a god walking in the mortal world.

The so-called Earth Immortal, Earthly Heavenly Human, are not even qualified to carry his shoes. I am afraid that only the Buddha and Emperor in the sky can rival him.

Therefore, as the Taian City incident spread more and more widely, in the Jianghu and among the people, people really began to build statues and worship Wu Xian, calling him the Martial Ancestor or Martial God.

Some people even thought that he was the reincarnation of the True Martial Emperor of this generation, spontaneously singing praises for him, worshipping day and night, hoping to get the favor and protection of the Emperor, to protect the family's safety and health, or to treat infertility, etc...

Little did they know, it was because of Wu Xian's existence that the reincarnation of the real True Martial Emperor had already had his family broken before he was even born.

The prominent family background, fine clothes and food, and groups of beautiful maids that originally belonged to him had all become dreams and bubbles.

If the True Martial body in the sky knew about this, I am afraid he would be so angry that his state of mind would break and his cultivation would plummet.

Western Chu Capital, Dahuang City, Xianke Residence.

Listening to the gossip about him from the diners in his ears, Wu Xian couldn't help but smile, and then stood on the top floor of the most famous restaurant in this city, overlooking the scenery and people of the Western Chu capital.

Similar to the description in the original work, the folk customs of Western Chu are simple and the order is strict. At least along the way, he rarely saw the bullying of men and women done by a certain Beiliang Prince and his fox friends in the original work.

In fact, Liyang is not bad either, which also proves that there are more normal people in this world, and those like the protagonist are the minority exceptions.

Of course, it may also be that the time is not right.

After all, the war has just ended, and the dignitaries are still busy with the distribution of benefits, and have no time to fish for the people. When everything is completely stable, some trash will show their true colors.

"Western Chu is not bad, but this Emperor... Heh!"

Wu Xian thought so in his heart, turned his head to look at the direction of the Western Chu Imperial Palace, his eyes slightly strange.

Unlike Zhao Li, the wise and martial hero, the current Emperor of Western Chu is named Jiang Ren. Although he cannot be called a muddle-headed ruler, he is still quite a distance from the word 'wise'.

This person loves poetry, music, chess, and painting, but is not good at governing the country. And the reason why Western Chu can become a Spring and Autumn power comparable to Liyang, in addition to the foundation laid by the ancestors, basically relies on Western Chu having a bunch of capable ministers and generals.

Similar to the Military Saint Ye Baikui and the Chess Waiting Imperial Envoy Cao Changqing, they are all rare geniuses in the world. Getting one of them, whether martial or literary, can make the country peaceful.

And this Jiang Ren can also distinguish good from bad, and values both of them very much. Under normal circumstances, as long as he doesn't make stupid moves, it is enough to be a stable and honest ruler.

Unfortunately, his fate is not good. When it was his turn to be Emperor, he happened to meet Xu Xiao, the ghost-fearing general on the battlefield, who destroyed five countries in just ten years and once broke into the hinterland of Western Chu.

If it weren't for the appearance of Wu Xian, I am afraid that Dahuang City would have been covered with Beiliang military flags by now.

"Calculated this way, I am still the great benefactor of the entire Chu State. If this doesn't give me a National Teacher or a different-surname King, it would be a bit unreasonable."

The corners of his mouth curled slightly, and the next moment, Wu Xian had disappeared silently from the Xianke Residence. Between the flashes of his figure, he had already arrived at the location of the Great Chu Imperial City.

Because the Great Chu Emperor feared that a certain Martial Madman would come to the door, the defense of the Chu Imperial City had been unusually strict recently. The sentries on the palace walls were like a forest, and there were forbidden guards in armor patrolling from time to time. The defense was strict, and even mosquitoes could not enter.

However, seeing this situation, Wu Xian turned a blind eye to it, as if walking in his own backyard, walking leisurely in front of each sentry and forbidden guard.

At the same time, the latter also seemed to have become deaf and blind, hearing but not listening, seeing but not seeing, as if Wu Xian did not exist at all.

This situation is not because of the special effect caused by some secret technique, but because after Wu Xian achieved the Earthly Heavenly Human realm, he could enter the state of 'Heaven and Human Unity' and 'Harmony with Light and Dust' at any time.

In this state, if combined with the Qi shielding that comes with the 'Six-Storey Thief', as long as Wu Xian is willing, ordinary First Rank martial artists, and even those below the Earthly Heavenly Human, will find it difficult to detect his existence.
