this, the Fountain of Youth and the scriptures were obtained by the Great Tang first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then the trouble would be huge!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he returned, he would definitely receive severe punishment!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Chixing took a deep look at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then nodded slightly, indicating agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Duan Zhengming felt a sense of relief in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He nodded and replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since that is the case, I will send troops to assist you lords.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Only, no matter the result, I hope you will not vent your anger on Dali.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time passed in a hurry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Very soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A week had passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following Duan Zhengming's dispatch of troops under the pressure of the three great dynasties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coupled with the increasing number of martial artists heading to Dali.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regarding the Valley of Eternal Spring, various factions finally had a clue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only, what they did not notice was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the fifteenth of this month.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were less than three days left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And just when the people of the Nine Provinces were either attracted by Dali.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or had their interest piqued by the duel between the Sword God and the Sword Saint at the Peak of the Forbidden City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The four great dynasties of the Great Sui, Great Han, Great Song, and Great Qing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Were also undergoing silent changes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First is the Great Han.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After this period of fighting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Green Dragon Army led by Zhao Yun, Pang Tong, and others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the push of the Green Dragon Society.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was truly invincible and unstoppable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Any city they attacked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Due to the lack of high-level combat power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was always directly swept away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just under seven days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had taken over the territory of six provinces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adding their original base.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of the fifteen provinces of the Great Han, they now sat in seven.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Truly the strongest warlord of the Great Han!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for fully controlling the Great Han.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was merely a matter of the territories of Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Sun Ce, and others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next is the Great Sui.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Due to the sudden death of Yang Guang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coupled with the frantic expansion of the four great clans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the rise of the Power Gang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As well as the joint efforts of the righteous paths like Cihang Jingzhai and Jingnian Chanyuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the obstruction of the Demonic Sect forces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire Great Sui.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was as chaotic as a pot of porridge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just when everyone was fighting frantically for their own ambitions and goals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A faction called the Green Dragon Gang was quietly rising.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And when they didn't notice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had already slowly grown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If there were another three to five days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would definitely develop into the number one warlord faction of the Great Sui!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the Great Song.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although it looked calm on the surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in reality, undercurrents were surging, and a storm was coming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Gou, the son of Zhao Ji.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the support of the Green Dragon Society.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had already secretly colluded with half of the army.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other half also had many who had loosened their stance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within a few days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would definitely be able to control over eighty percent of the army!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And use this to imitate the coup method of the candle shadow and axe sound of the Great Ancestor back then!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps without much manpower or material resources, he could control the entire Great Song at the smallest cost!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The same scene was also happening in the Great Qing Dynasty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only, compared to the gentle methods of the Great Song.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps because Ximen Wudi deeply detested the pigtails in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the Great Qing Dynasty, he had only one requirement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That is to kill!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An open and honest military coup!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The kind where anyone who resists is slaughtered to the tenth generation!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[PS: The previous chapter has been unblocked, Yanzu who haven't subscribed can go and read it.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two days later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Great Ming, Forbidden City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the instruction of the Ming Emperor Zhu Houzhao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether it was the Six Doors, the Embroidered Uniform Guard, or the Eastern and Western Depots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of them relaxed their guard for the martial artists who came to watch the battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tens of thousands of martial artists gathered from all directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Making the capital, which was already the most prosperous in the Great Ming, become even more lively. \u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>On the streets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wherever the eyes could see.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were martial artists in groups of three or five.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every inn, teahouse, and restaurant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was packed to capacity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among those who came to watch the battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the vast majority were some wandering martial artists.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the major sects of the Nine Provinces also sent quite a few.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only, compared to the wandering martial artists.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each sect basically sent one or two elders or the sect leader to lead the team personally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bringing a group of disciples behind them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without a doubt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was intended to let them see the world and gain some experience along the way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a small bamboo courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ximen Chuixue, dressed in white, sat quietly on a stone stool.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Holding a handkerchief, he gently wiped his black-sheathed sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the stone table beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides a tea set, there was also an incense burner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three sticks of sandalwood incense that had just been lit not long ago were inserted in the burner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wisps of green smoke were drifting away faintly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the legendary Sword God of the martial world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had always held a pious, sacred, serious, and respectful heart toward fighting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before every time he killed someone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would bathe and burn incense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deciding the time for bathing and burning incense based on the strength of his opponent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps because the time was too rushed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't have much time to prepare for this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But regardless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his heart, Ye Gucheng was the opponent he had always wanted to challenge!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For such a respectable opponent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't want to give up bathing and burning incense just because time was tight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If that were the case.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then his state of mind would not be perfect!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the duel between experts, especially sword experts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Often comes down to a hair's breadth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He came to the courtyard to burn incense after bathing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if there wasn't enough time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as long as the intention was there, it was enough!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't want to duel with an incomplete state of mind!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because this, whether for him or for Ye Gucheng, was a defilement!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Proud as he was, he would not allow such a thing to happen!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sigh~~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sigh suddenly rang out in the quiet courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this familiar voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ximen Chuixue's hand wiping the sword paused for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then returned to normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't even lift his eyelids.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed he already knew who the visitor was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boring, truly too boring.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I really don't know how you, this ice block, manage to be so sparing with words?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing his reaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The visitor shook his head and complained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a slight force under his feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He floated down and sat on the stone stool opposite Ximen Chuixue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only his face looked somewhat unusual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others have two eyebrows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he, insisted on trimming his mustache to be as neat and beautiful as his eyebrows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first glance, it was as if he possessed four eyebrows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That's right!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The visitor is none other than.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xiaofeng, the Four-Eyebrowed man who has a great reputation in the Great Ming martial world!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only, at this moment, his face looked somewhat melancholy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without the slightest formality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He picked up the teapot on the table and poured himself a cup of tea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He opened his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several times he wanted to speak but stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you here to persuade me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeming to have guessed his thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ximen Chuixue spoke without lifting his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice was cold, and his tone was without waves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's right.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that he had seen through his intentions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Xiaofeng didn't hide it either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He nodded and said with a bitter smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You two are both my best friends.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No matter who wins, for me, it will mean one less soulmate.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So I wanted to come and persuade you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he knew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a swordsman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The greatest glory in life is to die for the sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he truly couldn't do it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To watch them kill each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if the hope of successful persuasion was very slim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he still wanted to try!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You don't understand.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Some people are born, and their lives are already destined.\"
