Chapter 775: Xing Yuxian

The Champion Marquis's public identity is that of a Peak Martial Saint.

The Goddess of the Moon is a deity formed from faith; even at her worst, she possesses cultivation at the level of a Martial Saint or Ghost Immortal.

Although the Haotian Golden Chapter has not truly released its aura, just standing there gives one a feeling of transcending the mundane.

This Wei Taicang does not engage in empty pleasantries, but instead acts directly.

Is it that he has been Governor-General for too long, holding the power of life and death, and can no longer see his own strength clearly? Or does he believe that as a high-ranking official governing a frontier, an Imperial Court appointee, Yu Liancheng would not dare to truly strike at him?

Or perhaps, is his head simply filled with mush?

Facing a supreme art unleashed with the full force of a Martial Saint, Yu Liancheng merely opened a large hand.

In the process of this hand reaching out, it seemed to grow continuously, blotting out the sun and sky, vast and boundless, wild and ancient.

When the palm descended, it was like a piece of the firmament collapsing, creating a feeling of the world being turned upside down.

Before this palm, even a Martial Saint powerhouse like Wei Taicang felt as small as an ant. The "Heaven and Earth Furnace" blade intent he had unleashed with all his might instantly shattered into pieces. Even his precious blade, which was comparable to the Shattering Blade of the Martial Saint Gongyang Yu, crumbled into countless fragments in an instant.

Yu Liancheng closed his palm and gave a light grab.

Wei Taicang's entire body was seized, his bones creaking and groaning as if, should the opponent exert the slightest bit of force, a massive power of millions of catties would press down and crush him into a mass of minced meat.

"Champion Marquis. Champion Marquis, no, Marquis, Marquis, everything can be discussed, I agree to your plan. Let that Haotian Golden Chapter lead troops to annihilate the Daluo Sect, the Wusheng Dao, and the Vacuum Dao, and establish faith for that Goddess..." Under the threat to his life, Wei Taicang finally panicked and hurriedly begged for mercy.

A flash of ruthlessness flickered deep within his eyes.

"Begging for mercy now, don't you think it's too late?"

One by one, Second Tribulation Thoughts flew out from Yu Liancheng's body and burrowed into Wei Taicang's head, intending to grind away his soul and then perform a possession: "Furthermore, I never intended to keep you from the start; after all, you are not worth trusting."

Once the practice of Daoist arts reaches the Possession realm, one can inhabit the bodies of various animals, and even the bodies of those with weaker Qi and Blood. Of course, a Martial Saint's Qi and Blood are abundant; let alone possession, ordinary Possession-stage powerhouses would find it unbearable just to get close. But Yu Liancheng is not only a Second Tribulation powerhouse, he is also a Human Immortal, and he additionally practices the "Gui Cang Nine Paths."

While it is difficult to possess a Martial Saint, it is not impossible.

As the thoughts poured in, Wei Taicang's face appeared as if split by yin and yang, with two different expressions showing on the left and right sides.

The left side of his face was full of distortion and terror, constantly letting out hisses and roars, attempting to stop the invasion of the right side.

The right side of his face carried a sense of composure, with a smile overflowing from the corner of the mouth. This side of the face was constantly encroaching upon the left, expanding its area.

More and more thoughts poured into Wei Taicang's body, and the territory of the left side of his face grew smaller and smaller, constantly being squeezed.

Finally, the entire face became completely unified, revealing an unprecedented state of calm.

After a short half-hour, having digested all the memories, "Wei Taicang" slowly opened his eyes.

A faint smile overflowed from the corner of his mouth: "From now on, I am the Governor-General of the seven provinces. Heh, whatever Vacuum Dao, Wusheng Dao, or Daluo Sect, I'll sweep them all into the trash heap."

Just then, the door was knocked upon.

After 'Wei Taicang' called for them to enter, the door was pushed open, and a person over thirty years old walked in.

His demeanor and mannerisms possessed a certain grace, and his appearance was thirty percent similar to Wei Taicang; he was none other than Wei Taicang's second son, Wei Liancheng.

Wei Liancheng seemed not to see the three people with Yu Liancheng, first bowing respectfully, then saying: "Father, a friend has entrusted me to request an audience with you."

"Oh, a friend of yours?"

'Wei Taicang' narrowed his eyes slightly, his fingers tapping lightly on the chair.

"Yes, Father." Wei Liancheng hesitated: "She... she is Xing Yuxian."

"Hmph, a monster from Yunmeng Guo, have less contact with her in the future."

'Wei Taicang' gave a cold snort, full of majesty.

"Yes," Wei Liancheng said hurriedly.

'Wei Taicang' deliberated for a moment and said: "However, since she dares to come to my Governor-General's mansion alone, she must have important business. You may let her in."

"Very well, Father."

Wei Liancheng's face lit up with joy, and as 'Wei Taicang' waved his hand, he hurriedly retreated.

Soon, a graceful figure appeared in the study. She was dressed in green, wearing a square cap on her head, and was dressed like a scholar.

But with her flowing eyes and exquisite face, her full chest stretching her lapels taut, I fear no one would truly mistake her for a scholar.

"Junior Xin Yuxian pays respects to Uncle Wei." The woman cupped her hands and bowed respectfully to 'Wei Taicang'.

'Wei Taicang' gave a cold snort: "Miss Yuxian, you are a member of the Yunmeng Heavenly Dragon Sect, and also the Captain of the Guards for the Yunmeng Golden Wolf Army. Our empires are opposed; by rashly coming to this old man's Governor-General's mansion, are you not afraid that I might capture you?"

The woman gave a giggle: "Looking at my father's thin face, Uncle Wei surely will not mind my improper speech."

Hearing this woman mention her father, 'Wei Taicang' gave a cold snort; clearly, this woman was very intimidating.

To be able to make 'Wei Taicang' wary, and to have the surname Xin, there is only one person in this world: the head of the Eight Great Demon Immortals, Xing Xuan.

That is a figure who, if he were to stomp his foot, the whole world would tremble.

"Speak, what exactly is your business?"

"I have come to Great Gan this time mainly for two things."

Xing Yuxian said: "First, I want to tell Uncle Wei something, to give Uncle Wei a reminder."

"A reminder?"

"The Champion Marquis has come to Huayang Province."

'Wei Taicang' narrowed his eyes slightly, but his expression did not change much: "Oh?"

"My father once fought the Champion Marquis and is extremely wary of this person. Therefore, when I came to Great Gan this time, I investigated the Champion Marquis's whereabouts. Although he announced to the outside world that he was in seclusion, after investigation, he has indeed come to Huayang Province." Xing Yuxian said: "This Champion Marquis is arrogant and domineering, wanting to monopolize everything. Coming to Huayang Province this time, I fear he has ulterior motives."

"Is that so?"

'Wei Taicang' said calmly: "Has Miss Yuxian ever seen the Champion Marquis?"

"I have seen a portrait of this person," Xing Yuxian said.

"Then if you saw this person again, would Miss Yuxian be able to recognize him?"

"Naturally, I would recognize him."

"Good." 'Wei Taicang' nodded, a mocking smile suddenly appearing at the corner of his mouth, and he pointed a hand toward Yu Liancheng: "Miss Yuxian, look at this friend of mine, does he look like the Champion Marquis?"

Xing Yuxian followed Wei Taicang's finger and discovered that there were actually other people sitting in this room, whom she had not noticed before.

And when they saw that person's appearance, their pupils suddenly constricted!

"Beauty, hello there."

Yu Liancheng waved his hand and greeted Xing Yuxian with a smile.
