Changsheng: My qualifications improve a little every day

Li Shengdong said this lightly, obviously not taking these two small countries seriously.

He turned to look at Fang Yue, a gleam in his eyes: "Brother Fang, you and I are both interested in the succession ceremony of the Emperor of the Wei Dynasty. Do you have any specific plans?"

Fang Yue smiled slightly and responded: “Since we are going to cooperate with Shadow Pavilion, I naturally have some ideas.

However, before that, I would like to know the Shadow Pavilion's views and plans for this ceremony."

Li Shengdong nodded and explained: "We in the Shadow Pavilion are naturally determined to win this ceremony.

The ceremony of succession of the emperor of the Wei Dynasty was not only an internal matter of the Wei Dynasty, but also concerned the situation of the entire Eastern Wilderness.

We hope that through this ceremony, we can support a successor who is in line with our interests and thus occupy a more advantageous position in the future Wei Dynasty.

Our plan is to use our intelligence network and influence to secretly support potential successors and to make a series of arrangements during the ceremony to ensure that he can successfully succeed to the throne."

He paused and continued, "Of course, this cannot be done without Brother Fang's cooperation."

Li Shengdong's words revealed an unquestionable determination.

After hearing this, Fang Yue's expression remained calm. He knew very well that cooperating with an organization like Shadow Pavilion required extreme caution.

"Brother Li, since Shadow Pavilion already has a comprehensive plan, it's naturally the best."

Fang Yue spoke, his voice steady and powerful, "If you need me to help, I will do my best. However, I also have a few conditions, I hope Brother Li can consider them."

Li Shengdong raised his eyebrows slightly and motioned Fang Yue to continue.

"First of all," Fang Yue said slowly, "I hope to maintain a certain degree of autonomy in my actions. After all, everyone's style and methods of doing things are different."

Li Shengdong nodded, expressing his understanding: "Of course, we at Shadow Pavilion always respect the wishes and methods of our partners."

Fang Yue continued, "Secondly, I hope to learn the detailed action plan in advance so that I can better cooperate with the Shadow Pavilion's actions."

"this is necessary,"

Li Shengdong responded, "We will share the detailed plan with you before taking action to ensure that the cooperation between you and me is seamless."

Fang Yue nodded with satisfaction, and then put forward one last condition: "Finally, I hope to get the due compensation and recognition after the task is completed.

After all, this operation carries a lot of risk for me.”

Li Shengdong laughed loudly: "Brother Fang, don't worry. Shadow Pavilion will never treat its partners unfairly.

As long as the mission is successful, you will definitely get the rewards and honors you deserve. To show our sincerity, I would like to let Brother Fang have a look at our "Shadow Thousand Kills" first."

Before Li Shengdong finished laughing, he reached out and took out an ancient secret book from his arms. On the cover, five big characters "Shadow Thousand Killings" were written in ancient seal script.

He handed the secret book to Fang Yue, his eyes flashing with meaning.

"Brother Fang, this is the secret book of Shadow Thousand Killings."

Li Shengdong said, "This skill is extremely powerful. When you master it, you can kill people in the shadows and kill enemies thousands of miles away as easily as taking something out of your pocket. I believe this magical skill will definitely help you."

Fang Yue took the secret book and felt the profound inner strength and exquisite moves contained in it, and couldn't help but admire it in his heart.

He looked up at Li Shengdong and said, "Thank you, Brother Li, for your generosity. This magical skill is indeed of great significance to me."

Li Shengdong waved his hand and said with a smile: "Brother Fang, you are too kind. Since we are partners, we should naturally support each other.

I believe that with your talent and understanding, you will be able to quickly master this magical skill and play a huge role in future operations."

The two smiled at each other, and their trust and understanding of each other deepened.

After reaching the cooperation, Fang Yue left. He had to rush to Shenjing, the capital of the Great Wei Dynasty.

He knew that time was running out and the day of the ceremony was approaching. He had to get there as soon as possible to better understand the situation and prepare for action.

Fang Yue rode on his horse and galloped all the way, but he was constantly thinking about his next plan in his mind.

He knew that although the Shadow Pavilion's plan seemed comprehensive, the situation during the ceremony was complicated and any unexpected situation could occur.

Therefore, he must be fully prepared to deal with all kinds of possible problems.

We even have to guard against the Shadow Pavilion!

~~~~~~~
After Fang Yue left Li Shengdong, he rode at full speed and passed through a busy town on the way.

He decided to stay here for a while, firstly to cultivate his body and mind, and secondly to take this opportunity to practice the "Shadow Thousand Kills" he had just acquired.

The town is quiet and quaint. Residents work from sunrise to sunset and rest at sunset. The pace of life is peaceful and tranquil.

Fang Yue found an inconspicuous inn to live in. Apart from eating and resting, he practiced in seclusion every day.

He opened the secret book of "Shadow Thousand Kills" and read it word by word.

This martial art is profound and mysterious, and every move and every style contains infinite murderous intent and exquisite changes.

Fang Yue immersed himself in it, concentrating on comprehending the mystery.

With a deeper understanding of the technique, Fang Yue began to try to practice some of the moves.

He first imitated the movements in the room, and gradually, he felt as if he had merged with the shadows and could move around in the darkness at will.

However, cultivation is not always smooth sailing.

Sometimes, Fang Yue would get into trouble because he couldn't fully understand a certain move;
Sometimes, he would not be able to maintain his practice state for a long time due to insufficient internal strength.

However, he never gave up. He gritted his teeth and persevered every time, constantly adjusting his state and strategy.

During the practice, Fang Yue gradually felt the changes brought about by "Shadow Thousand Kills".

His movements became lighter and more agile, and his attacks became quicker and more accurate.

He could even accurately sense the enemy's breath and movements in the dark, as if he had a pair of night vision eyes.

Day after day of practice has significantly improved Fang Yue's strength.

He felt as if he had been reborn, becoming more confident and powerful.

"However, this technique seems to have something unfinished, and there should be a sequel. I don't know if Li Shengdong deliberately didn't give it to me, or if he doesn't have it in his hands."

Fang Yue pondered secretly in his heart, and he also knew that even if "Shadow Thousand Killings" had subsequent skills, it was not something he could reach at the moment.

Therefore, he decided to practice this technique to perfection first, and then look for the subsequent parts later.

After staying in the town for a few days, Fang Yue felt that his "Shadow Thousand Kills" had made considerable progress.

He estimated the time and saw that the day of the ceremony was imminent, so he decided to continue on his way to the capital.

Before leaving the town, Fang Yue went to the market to purchase some necessities and materials for disguise.

He knew that he had to be careful when going to Shenjing this time and not reveal his identity.

Along the way, Fang Yue kept changing his clothes and appearance, sometimes pretending to be a vendor, sometimes pretending to be a tourist, in order to conceal his identity.

~~~~~~~~
At the same time, in another place far away from the town, Chen Tuan and others were gathering together urgently. They had been tracking Fang Yue's whereabouts, and now, they finally had a breakthrough clue.

"Captain, our people finally found Fang Yue's whereabouts!" A spy rushed into the tent with excitement and nervousness on his face.

Chen Tuan stood up suddenly, his eyes flashing with sharp light: "Where is it? Tell me quickly!"

"He once stopped for a few days in a small town along the way."

The spy replied, "According to our observations, he seems to be practicing some kind of martial arts, and his strength has improved significantly."

Chen Tuan clenched his fists, a fierce smile flashing across his face: "Great! We finally found him! This time, we must not let him escape again!"

He immediately turned to his deputy and said, "Gather the team immediately. We have to intercept Fang Yue before he reaches Shenjing!"

The deputy responded and soon after, the entire team was quickly ready to go.

Chen Tuan stood in front of the team, his eyes swept across everyone with a cold look: "I don't need to say much about the importance of this mission. Fang Yue has been our target for a long time, and we must not let him escape! Let's go!"

Following Tuan Chen's order, the entire team set off as quickly as an arrow from a bow, chasing rapidly along the route that Fang Yue had passed.

At this time, Fang Yue was riding a fast horse and galloping on the road to Shenjing.

He didn't know that a manhunt for him had quietly begun.

He had only one thought in his mind: to get to Shenjing as soon as possible, understand the situation, and prepare for the next action.

As time went by, Fang Yue was getting closer and closer to Shenjing.

However, at this moment, he suddenly felt a strong sense of uneasiness surge in his heart.

He looked back and saw dust flying in the distance and a team chasing them quickly.

"Who could it be?" Fang Yue was shocked, but immediately rejected the idea.

The people from Shadow Pavilion should know his itinerary and would not chase him in such a high-profile manner.

So, who exactly is this team?

Fang Yue took a deep breath and quickly analyzed the situation.

The number of people chasing him was large and their momentum was fierce. It was obvious that they were not ordinary caravans or passers-by.

He instantly became alert, preparing for the impending conflict.

In the blink of an eye, the pursuers were already within reach.

Chen Tuan led the way, pointed the long sword in his hand at Fang Yue, and shouted: "Fang Yue, you can't escape! If you know what's good for you, surrender!"

"Haha, it's you guys. Do you think this is possible? I didn't expect you to dare to catch up with me. Since you're looking for death, I'll grant your wish!"

Fang Yue responded with a sneer, and at the same time, he flashed and jumped off the horse, landing steadily on the side of the road.

He quickly drew his sword from his waist and assumed a fighting stance.

Seeing this, Chen Tuan roared, swung his knife and rushed towards Fang Yue.

His long sword made a sharp sound and went straight to Fang Yue's vital points.

However, Fang Yue was as elusive as a wisp of smoke and easily avoided Chen Tuan's attack.

Immediately afterwards, Fang Yue launched a counterattack.

His swordsmanship was as fast as lightning, and each of his swords was aimed directly at Chen Tuan's weak points.

Although Chen Tuan is brave, he is no match for Fang Yue.

He swung his sword vigorously, trying to block Fang Yue's attacks, but Fang Yue dodged them deftly every time and counterattacked even more fiercely.

The air around seemed to be frozen by this solemn and murderous aura, and sparks flew between the flashes of swords and sabers.

Although Chen Tuan had a large number of troops, they were unable to form an effective siege in the face of Fang Yue's agile body and swordsmanship.

They could only watch Chen Tuan and Fang Yue fight each other alone, but they were unable to intervene.

Fang became more and more courageous as the battle went on. His swordsmanship was like flowing clouds and water, both sharp and graceful, making it impossible to defend against him.

Chen Tuan gradually fell into a tough fight. Although his long sword was extremely powerful, he was unable to hit the target because of Fang Yue's agility.

The battle became more and more intense. Although Chen Tuan was brave, he gradually seemed powerless in front of Fang Yue's exquisite swordsmanship.

Suddenly, Fang Yue swung his sword, the sword light was as fast as lightning, and Chen Tuan was unable to react in time. One of his arms was cut off at the shoulder, and blood spurted out.

Chen Tuan screamed, took a few steps back, his face as pale as paper.

"Haha, tell me, who asked you to kill me?"

Although Chen Tuan tragically lost an arm, his cruelty did not diminish in the slightest. Instead, he stared at Fang Yue even more frantically and sneered:

"You think you won? Humph, you are wrong! I, Chen Tuan, never fight an unprepared battle. Today, this is where you will be buried!"

As he spoke, he took out a flare from his arms and shot it into the sky.

The flare exploded in the air, emitting a dazzling red light.

Immediately, several powerful energy fluctuations quickly gathered from all around, obviously the reinforcements summoned by Chen Tuan had arrived.

It was these great priests and the elders of the Wei royal family who had previously surrounded and killed Fang Yue.

Faced with the sudden powerful enemy, Fang Yue did not show the slightest panic.

He took a deep breath, gripped his sword tightly, and prepared himself for battle.

He knew that the next battle would be a more difficult one, but he was confident that he would be able to defeat these enemies with his strength and wisdom.

The chief priest and the elders of the Wei royal family were both experienced warriors. They could see at a glance that Fang Yue was extraordinary.

However, they did not underestimate Fang Yue because of this. Instead, they treated the battle more cautiously.

The chief priest took the lead in launching the attack. His figure was as fast as the wind and he instantly appeared in front of Fang Yue. He slapped out with his palm, and the sharp wind from his palm went straight to Fang Yue's face.

Fang Yue dodged the palm strike cleverly with a flash of his body, and at the same time swung his sword, piercing the chief priest's ribs.

The chief priest dodged the sword, but was shocked by Fang Yue's agility and swordsmanship.

On the other side, an elder from the Wei royal family also joined the battle. Holding a long stick, he wielded it like a dragon and attacked Fang Yue.

Fang Yue's figure was graceful, and he shuttled between the two people like a ghost, sometimes swinging his sword to attack, and sometimes dodging the enemy's attacks.

His swordsmanship became more and more sophisticated, and each of his swords was aimed directly at the enemy's weaknesses, making the chief priest and the elders of the Wei royal family exhausted from dealing with it.

The battle entered a white-hot stage, with the three parties fighting back and forth and it was difficult to determine the winner.

However, as time went on, Fang Yue's swordsmanship became more and more powerful, and his movements became more and more erratic, making it difficult for the two masters to figure out his movements, and gradually they gained the upper hand. (End of this chapter)
