The road to Jianghu started from the martial arts hall

The night sky is dark and the earth is barren.

After Xue Linlang left, Fang Xun and Tie Wuxin continued to look at each other in silence.

After a long while, Fang Xun slowly said, "Is it the Human Emperor Sword?"

Seeing Xue Linlang who had become a "pillar of righteousness", Fang Xun's fear of the weapons of gods and demons increased to a higher level.

Fang Xun felt a chill in his heart when he saw that a serious demon master had his mind twisted and corrupted by the Human Emperor Sword, and was determined to become a partner of justice.

Tie Wuxin was the same. He forced a smile and said, "Look at it from a positive perspective. It's a good thing that Xue Linlang has changed his ways."

But Fang Xun just thought the joke was boring and he couldn't laugh at all.

After taking a deep breath, Fang Xun changed the subject and said, "Uncle Tie, Xing Shanlie said that there was a problem with the Nine Dragons and Eight Wastelands Formation. Is that true?"

Tie Wuxin's face darkened, and after a moment of hesitation he decided to tell the truth.

"He's right. There is indeed something wrong with the Nine Dragons and Eight Wastelands Formation."

In fact, as early as after the earth vein seal nodes of Qinggang Mountain and Dingtian Mountain were destroyed, the operation of the formation began to malfunction. Two years ago, Xue Linlang seized this opportunity to escape the seal.

After the sealing node of the Vajra Temple was destroyed, the situation became even worse, and the formation only had 50% of its power left.

Tianji Tower and the Ministry of Works are also trying their best to repair it, but the adjustment and repair process will also cause some nodes of the formation to shut down, and even at the critical moment, the formation must be closed.

Therefore, the coronation ceremony of the new emperor will be held half a year in advance for this succession of the throne.

It was just to find an excuse to get all the masters from the imperial court to gather in the capital, so that after this awkward period was over, the formation could be adjusted.

Fang Xun frowned after hearing this: "In other words, Zhao Ning and I will also go to Beijing in a few months?"

Tie Wuxin nodded and said, "Zhao Ning won't force it, but you and Bai Qingmeng from your house must go to the capital. In about two months, the imperial edict will probably reach your house."

Fang Xun frowned even deeper: "But if there is any unusual movement in Miaojiang, Bai Qingmeng and I will not be in Jiangnan, leaving Zhaoning alone."

Tie Wuxin sighed and said, "This is all His Majesty's intention. It will only take about two months. Besides, the Dajiang League, Broken Sword Villa and Hero Qiao will not sit idly by. You should return home as soon as possible and prepare to leave."

Fang Xun nodded and asked, "Uncle Tie, tell me the truth, how many Zhenwu land immortals are there in the court?"

"There are nineteen masters in the court, not counting you who just made a breakthrough."

Tie Wuxin knew everything about this and told him everything. Fang Xun was amazed after hearing it.

This is the foundation of the imperial court. In just four years since the spiritual energy was revived, nineteen masters have broken through to the Zhenwu realm.

Sects like Broken Sword Villa, Dajiang League, and Vajra Temple only have one True Martial Realm master in charge, and the status of the thirty-six masters is as stable as Mount Tai.

And there are as many as nineteen of them in the imperial court!
And these are only the masters in the imperial court, not including those in the Confucian school.

Faced with such power, even though Blackwater Abyss was filled with masters, including Shangguan Wudi, the world's number one with unfathomable strength, they could only hide in the dark and cause trouble.

"Ten of them are stationed in the capital, and the other nine are either generals of the border army or masters of the six princes' palaces, such as the King of Liang, the King of Chu, and Bai Qingmeng from your mansion."

"The headquarters of Tianfeng Tower and Sihai Escort Agency are also located in the capital. If something happens in the capital, the masters of the two factions will not stand idly by. When the new emperor ascends the throne, there will be at least twenty or so Zhenwu masters gathered together."

When Fang Xun heard this, his heart suddenly skipped a beat and an idea suddenly came to his mind.

"Will Heishuiyuan really take action when these twenty or so people gather in the capital?"

This thought was so sudden, as if it came to him on a whim, that Fang Xun quickly asked, "Uncle Tie, in addition to you and Taoist Master Zhen Yangzi, how many people did the court send to quell the rebellion in the Western Prefecture this time?"

Tie Wuxin immediately replied: "In half a month at most, two Zhenwu masters from the clan affairs office and the army will arrive in the West Palace, and they will be accompanied by several Yangshen and Yinshen masters.

Originally, the imperial court only sent Taoist Master Zhen Yangzi and I to suppress the blood disaster, but after discovering the traces of the Yuan Mo Palace and Wang Qing Dao, they sent two more Zhen Wu masters."

Hearing this, Fang Xun's heart skipped a beat again: "That is to say, there are only eight Zhenwu masters in Shuntian Prefecture now, and the Nine Dragons and Eight Wastelands Formation is also in a semi-crippled state!"

Although such a force is considerable, Fang Xun thought from Black Water Abyss' perspective and felt that this was the perfect time to take action!
In the East China Sea, on the central island of the Mihun Islands shrouded in black fog.

Just as Fang Xun was daydreaming, Shangguan Wudi and seven other figures shrouded in black mist appeared out of nowhere.

After everyone appeared, they all looked towards Xing Shanlie.

"Shashan, what happened again?"

"Cough cough."

Xing Shanlie coughed twice, his voice sounding weak, which immediately made everyone else frown, and Shangguan Wudi asked directly: "Are you injured?"

The former Demon Palace Master said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid it's not just injured, the Extreme Demon Blade has automatically flown back to my hand. Is there something wrong with the Human Emperor Sword?"

As soon as these words came out, the others frowned even deeper. The Death-Taker asked directly, "Shashan, Moshan, what's going on with you two?"

"Ahem. Let me tell you," Xing Shanlie said at this time, "It's a collaboration between me, Moshan, the new leader of the Blood Demon Sect, Qu Huarong, and Changshengzi.

He planned to use Xue Linlang as a sacrifice in order to destroy the Human Emperor Sword and extract the exotic beast essence inside it, but something went wrong at the critical moment.

That immortal son diverted the trouble to another place, allowing Xue Linlang to escape, and the Human Emperor Sword was also lost." He quickly told the whole story.

Everyone's expression changed slightly, and the former Demon Palace Master said in a cold tone: "Changshengzi, don't let that guy fall on me!"

However, the fatal man was keenly aware of something and asked Xing Shanlie, "Are you saying that Xue Linlang has recovered to her full potential and can wield the Human Emperor Sword with ease?!"

Not only him, everyone else was shocked, wondering if Xing Shanlie was joking.

The Human Emperor Sword is extremely great and sacred, and not everyone can get it, let alone Xue Linlang, the thousand-year-old demon.

Xue Linlang picked up the Human Emperor Sword but there was no backlash at all, which was simply ridiculous.

"That's because his mind has been twisted," Xing Shanlie said in a deep voice, "He has become a slave to the Human Emperor Sword!"

Shangguan Wudi frowned and said, "In other words, this guy has now become a pillar of the righteous path. This joke is not funny at all."

Everyone else had strange looks on their faces and didn't think it was funny.

The fatal man frowned even more deeply: "What if Xue Linlang takes the initiative to go to the capital and oppose us..."

As they spoke, everyone's faces darkened. With Xue Linlang in her prime and the Human Emperor Sword in hand, Shangguan Wudi didn't dare to say that he could definitely defeat the opponent.

But his expression immediately calmed down again: "In that case, let's move up the plan, Shashan, is this also your intention when you took the initiative to contact us?"

The others turned their attention to Xing Shanlie, who nodded and said, "Yes, the blood disaster in the Western Palace was a mistake. Four Zhenwu masters affiliated with the court were transferred away. If we can find a way to lure one or two more away..."

"Leave it to me!" Before Xing Shanlie had finished his words, the former Demon Palace Lord took the initiative to disperse the black fog around him, revealing his true appearance, which was none other than King Liang of Xifu.

The Chu King Wan Yangtian's eyes fixed: "It's you!"

King Liang looked at Wan Yangtian and said calmly, "You don't have to be like this. I have no interest in competing for the Central Plains. I just want the Yuanmo Palace to continue."

Wan Yangtian's expression eased after hearing this, and King Liang continued, "If you want to attract the court masters, just attack the four Zhenwu directly. I will use the Extreme Demon Blade to sneak attack, and I can guarantee to kill at least two of them."

Everyone else nodded. The death of two Zhenwu would definitely shock the court, and they would have to send more experts to Xifu.

The killer said, "It can actually be a little safer."

At this point, he looked at Shangguan Wudi and said, "As long as Jianshan or Wudi and Moshan join forces to catch them off guard, let alone one or two, even all four can be dealt with without any problem!"

Everyone fell silent when Jianshan was mentioned. The previous Jianshan was Li Hongyan, and now it is Ye Honglei, the crazy beauty.

They were all extremely reluctant to deal with such a lunatic.

Shangguan Wudi said calmly: "It will take at least three or four months for me to rush from the East Sea to the West Palace, and then from the West Palace to Shuntian City. I am afraid that I will not have enough time.

You can talk to Jianshan, provided she is willing to cooperate with us."

The fatal man nodded, took out a jade pendant and injected true energy into it.

After a while, Ye Honglei appeared in a green dress.

The beauty steps on the ground with her jade-like feet, her appearance is stunningly beautiful.

But after meeting her gaze, all the masters of Black Water Abyss felt as if they were pricked by needles and got goosebumps all over their bodies. Only Shangguan Wudi looked at her without noticing anything.

The two of them looked at each other quietly. The others felt the air became oppressive and did not dare to speak rashly.

After a long while, Ye Honglei opened her cherry lips slightly and slowly said, "Are you looking for me or Hongyan?"

Shangguan Wudi said calmly: "It's all the same. If you are willing to cooperate with the sealing node of Shuntian Mansion, we can help you break the seal in advance."

Ye Honglei stared at Shangguan Wudi, as if she wanted to see through him.

The others looked at Ye Honglei nervously. If the other party was willing to join, then it would certainly be a win-win situation for both parties.

But no one can figure out what this madman is thinking. What if the other party would rather harm others without benefiting himself? Who can they turn to for justice?

After a long while, Ye Honglei suddenly smiled brightly. This smile made all the flowers pale in comparison and also eased the heavy and depressing atmosphere.

"Hongyan has worked with you all for a long time, so we still have some friendship. Since the Sword God is so sincere, how can Hongyan and Honglei refuse?"

call--

The others all breathed a sigh of relief. King Liang looked at Ye Honglei steadily and said in a deep voice, "I will leave for Qi Tianshan immediately to help you get rid of the seal. We can discuss matters in person later!"

Shangguan Wudi also spoke up: "After the seal of Shuntian Prefecture is broken, I have no right to care how crazy you go, but before that, if you deliberately make trouble, don't blame us for being merciless!"

"hehe."

Facing Shangguan Wudi's threat, Ye Honglei did not reply. After leaving behind a string of silver bell-like laughter, her figure disappeared without a trace.

The Death-Taker frowned and said, "Wudi, is it really a good idea to let Ye Honglei join us?"

Shangguan Wudi said calmly: "At least now our goals are the same as hers, aren't they?" (End of this chapter)
