Li Canghai smiled once more,

"Since you won't take your own life, naturally someone will come to see you off on your last journey.

Actually, I came here today to deliver you a final ultimatum.

Within seven days, someone will come to deal with you.

Just wash your neck clean and wait for death."

For some unknown reason, Li Canghai suddenly shifted his tone, no longer as domineering as before.

"This old monk will accept it then."

Long Xiang Seng couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief in his heart.

Actually, no matter what, he didn't want to just meekly take his own life.

But if Li Canghai insisted on it, to avoid implicating the Great Yuan, he might really have taken his own life.

Only after breathing a sigh of relief, he couldn't help but grow curious.

Within seven days, someone would come to deal with him.

Then who exactly was this person?

Was it the Qinglong Society's Seventh Dragon Head, Wu Dang founder Zhang Sanfeng?

But Zhang Sanfeng had previously only ranked thirty-third on the Heavenly Dao Golden List, a huge gap from his own nineteenth place.

With just his strength, could he even fight him?

But Li Canghai's tone was absolutely certain.

Coming at this moment, it was as if the King of Hell had come to claim his life.

Saying that if you're meant to die at the third watch, no one will let you live until the fifth?

Thinking again of how the Qinglong Society always kept its word, incomparably proud.

The Qinglong Society's Great Dragon Head Ximen Wudi, was also the number one taboo of the Nine Provinces.

No one could fathom just how far his strength had reached.

Was it the Shattered Realm, or had he already surpassed the Shattered Realm?

With him training, or bestowing a secret treasure like a Dao Rhyme Jade Pendant upon Zhang Sanfeng.

No matter what he said, he wouldn't be a match.

Since it was so simple, why wait another seven days?

Could it be that they wanted him to feel the torment before his death?.

In the blink of an eye, the seventh day arrived.

Seven days ago, Li Canghai and Di Shitian had appeared to deliver the death notice to Long Xiang Seng.

The Immortal Master Changsheng, feeling indignant, had invited Di Shitian out for a fight.

In the end, even though his cultivation had improved considerably, he still couldn't take down Di Shitian again.

After seeing through that the Immortal Master Changsheng had no Divine Stone, Di Shitian lost interest in continuing to compete with him.

With the mission complete and Li Canghai having withdrawn, he also disappeared directly.

Afterwards, the Yuan Army and Great Yuan's offered experts continued to attack the small mountain of Lanruo Temple under Mu Huali's command.

But no matter what, although the Xuanxinzheng Sect had few people, relying on the mountain terrain, combined with Xuan Sect Daoist arts.

They actually blocked so many Yuan troops, who were never able to break through their mountainside blockade.

And even if a few people, like Long Xiang Seng last time, found a gap and broke through.

But within Lanruo Temple, the final line of defense was Yan Chixia, who could contend with the Immortal Master Changsheng for three days and three nights.

Not a single person could complete the task of unsealing the Yin Moon Cave Heaven.

Moreover, during these seven days, Long Xiang Seng was initially quite calm.

He felt that since the Qinglong Society had inexplicably given him seven days, he should make good use of them to serve the Great Yuan.

But as time went on, attacking the mountain and unsealing the Yin Moon Cave Heaven couldn't be done.

The person the Qinglong Society had said would come to take his life also hadn't appeared.

Gradually, Long Xiang Seng also began to panic.

The Qinglong Society's retaliation had never been this slow.

Clearly, their methods would be no small matter.

But what methods would they be?

Just like that, Long Xiang Seng gradually became increasingly anxious and uneasy.

Death, sometimes, is not that frightening.

But waiting for death like this, not knowing how one will die, is the most frightening.

Moreover, during these seven days, the Tang Army gradually closed in from all sides.

Other places in Youzhou, including Youzhou City, had been recaptured by the Great Tang.

Over a hundred thousand Great Tang troops, including Great Tang's offered experts, had surrounded this Beizhen tightly.

Among them, famous Great Tang experts, such as the Heavenly Demon Cangqu, Yuan Shoucheng, as well as the Corpse Ancestor Jiang Chen, Corpses Hanba and others had all appeared.

Clearly this time, not only was Long Xiang Seng doomed.

If it dragged on any longer, when Long Xiang Seng met his end.

It would likely be the day of the Great Tang army's general offensive.

At that time, the Yuan Army hadn't unsealed the Yin Moon Cave Heaven, and lacked the help of the Yin Moon Dynasty.

Coupled with Long Xiang Seng's death, morale would suffer a devastating blow.

With the Great Tang army attacking from all sides, this elite Yuan Army would likely be finished here.

Mu Huali grew increasingly restless and uneasy.

Who could have imagined that this southern campaign would end up like this?

If only he had known, when Yinshan Pass fell back then, he should have made a decisive call and led the army north in retreat.

That way, even if he lost the chance to unseal the Yin Moon Cave Heaven, he would still have suffered some losses.

But no matter how you put it, he could have preserved the strength of the vast majority of his main force.

Now, he was nearly facing a situation of all-or-nothing.

When the seventh day arrived, all the Yuan troops felt heavy-hearted, with no will to attack the mountain.

Instead, whether intentionally or not, they kept glancing toward Long Xiang Seng's direction.

It seemed they too were curious how Long Xiang Seng would die.

Just as everyone was watching with bated breath, the Great Tang army suddenly opened a gap.

Then seven swift horses were seen leaping out of that gap like fish.

The man at the front, seated on his horse, roared out,

"Where is Long Xiang Seng?"

Though they were clearly only seven men, they still dared to charge toward the camp of tens of thousands of Yuan troops.

The Yuan soldiers saw this and instinctively wanted to draw their bows and loose their arrows.

"Hold your hands!"

The moment Mu Huali saw this, he was greatly alarmed and shouted to stop the Yuan army's action.

Though he was not a man of the Wu Lin, after becoming one of the Thirteen Wings he had indeed studied the Wu Lin thoroughly.

The seven men before him, though not the top experts within the Wu Lin,

had a rather resounding reputation in the Great Ming.

The Wu Dangqixia!

They were the personal disciples of Zhang Sanfeng, the Seven-Dragon Head of the Qinglong Society.

Back when the Great Yuan had plotted to destroy Mount Wudang, these seven had survived to the very end.

The most crucial point was actually their identity as Zhang Sanfeng's disciples.

Long Xiang Seng had wanted to use them to verify how weakened the Qinglong Society had become after losing Ximen Wudi.

Now that the Wu Dangqixia had appeared, who would dare to kill them in public?

Could it be that the Great Yuan had truly prepared for war with the Qinglong Society?

"So it's them?"
