The road to Jianghu started from the martial arts hall

Lu Delin left, but he finally chose to live on, even if it meant losing all his dignity.

"I am not afraid of death. I am trying to keep myself useful to preserve the strength of the court. The court has suffered heavy losses. Every bit of strength is precious now. Otherwise, how can we fight against the bandits?"

During the flight, Lu Delin kept mumbling to himself, as if only by comforting himself in this way could he make his heart, which felt like it was being gnawed by countless ants, feel better.

The more he spoke, the more determined his expression became, and his empty eyes gradually regained focus.

At the site of the Burial Valley, the two peaks have disappeared, leaving only a thick layer of white ash on the ground.

Li Xuanfeng and the other six just looked at Lu Delin quietly, but their eyes were no longer filled with hatred, but pity instead.

Shangguan Wudi couldn't help but sigh: "You are really good at talking. You can even bring a dead person back to life. But instead of letting him live like this, you might as well just kill him."

Li Xuanfeng and the others looked at Fang Xun in amazement. It was obvious that Lu Delin was determined to die before, but Fang Xun's words managed to arouse his desire to survive.

Fang Xun replied with a smile: "Haha, isn't it too easy to let him die quickly?"

Shangguan Wudi shook his head and stopped talking to him. Instead, he turned to Li Xuanfeng and the other six and spoke indifferently.

"Now the imperial court is without morality, and the Confucian school is without virtue. I want to invite all the heroes in the world to attack Luo'an on the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15th, six months later. What do you think?"

Upon hearing this, the pupils of Li Xuanfeng and the other six suddenly contracted.

Fang Xun on the side was stunned for a moment, then he seemed to be thinking about something, guessing the other party's real intention.

He felt that Shangguan Wudi's sudden announcement to kill Luo An and take the heads of the emperor and all the civil and military officials was not his real purpose.

Li Xuanfeng and others were shocked and it took them a while to come back to their senses.

The six men all had murderous intent in their eyes. Among them, Li Xuanfeng responded directly: "Senior Wudi, our Qingshan Gang and Tianfeng Tower will definitely be there on time!"

"Amitabha," Hui Xin clasped his hands together and sighed, "Although I also want to avenge my junior brother, what Shangguan said is a serious matter. I have to wait until I return to Yuzhou to discuss with the abbot and King Zhao before I can give you a reply."

Tian Yuzi's answer was similar to Huixin's. Although he had a high status in Taoism, he could only be regarded as a junior of the younger generation.

Like Huixin, he was unable to represent Taoism and the King of Shu to give Shangguan Wudi an answer on this matter.

Shangguan Wudi was not disappointed after hearing this, but said calmly: "Don't worry, just get a reply within two months, and you can go directly to Xiangxi to find the King of Chu."

When the King of Chu from Xiangxi was mentioned, not only the others, but even Shangguan Wudi himself looked strange and glanced at Fang Xun.

Several years ago, King of Chu Wan Tianyang had been killed by Fang Xunjia, and the current King of Chu is his son Wan Tianya.

Fang Xun also felt the strange looks from the crowd and could only respond with an awkward but polite smile.

Tian Yuzi and Huixin nodded in this strange mood, and then said goodbye and left.

Whoosh-whoosh-whoosh-whoosh-

There was a sudden sound of breaking air, and in the blink of an eye the four people disappeared into the horizon.

After they left completely, Li Xuanfeng and the remaining elder of Tianfeng Tower looked at Shangguan Wudi and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"Just say what you want to say. I'm not the kind of person who can't stand bad words." Shangguan Wudi frowned when he saw them like this.

After the two of them looked at each other, Li Xuanfeng spoke up: "Senior Wudi, my uncle and Senior Leng have just passed away, Qingshan Gang and Tianfeng Tower..."

Before he could finish his words, Shangguan Wudi interrupted him with a wave of his hand. "I know what you mean, you want me to protect your sect, but have you ever thought that I have no fixed place to live, and the world is my home, so this protection is just a title."

Li Xuanfeng and the elders of Tianfeng Tower were silent for a while.

In this battle, the small Dongzhou group composed of Tianfeng Tower and Qingshan Gang suffered heavy losses. There are only two people left out of the eight who came.

These two sects already have all the high-end forces, which makes Li Xuanfeng feel full of crisis, fearing that someone will take advantage of the opportunity to attack him.

They all understood what Shangguan Wudi said. Even if the other party agreed to protect them, it was impossible for him to stay in Dongzhou all the time.

And if there are really people who want to attack the two sects, they will not be afraid of the other party's title of "number one in the world".

If the two sects were destroyed, Shangguan Wudi could only help them get revenge, but what was the point if all the people were dead?

For a moment, Li Xuanfeng and the other man were confused and didn't know what to say.

At this time Shangguan Wudi sighed, pointed at Fang Xun and said: "Since you can't find me, why don't you ask him?"

The two's eyes lit up when they heard this, and Fang Xun also spoke at the right time.

"If you two are willing to join my Yue King, I won't say anything else, but at least before I die, I guarantee that neither the imperial court nor the Confucian school will dare to make plans against you!"

Li Xuanfeng and the elder of Tianfeng Tower looked at each other, and immediately made a decision in their hearts. They both bowed and said.

"Thank you for not abandoning me, Lord. All the members of the Qingshan Gang (Tianfeng Tower) are willing to follow you and follow you. We will not hesitate to go through fire and water. After we return to the mountain gate, we will move to Jiangnan as soon as possible!"

Fang Xun smiled and said, "There is no need to move to Jiangnan. In three months at most, the royal army will take over the five states of the East China Sea!"

Li Xuanfeng was shocked. The Prince of Yue’s Palace, which had been recuperating, was finally going to mobilize troops?

He immediately reacted and said solemnly: "Don't worry, my Lord. With us here, it won't take two months for the four states of the East China Sea to submit to the rule of the King of Yue!"

Fang Xun smiled and nodded. This kid is quite sensible.

"There's no need to be so anxious. It's better to take your time with things like this. By then, several people from the Caixia Sect and the Yinyue Sect will follow the army to the four states of the East China Sea. You and they were neighbors before, so you can get closer."

"My Lord, we understand. We will do our best to help the King of Yue conquer the four states of the East China Sea!"

After Li Xuanfeng and the other man bowed again, they said goodbye and left.

On the barren land covered with white ash, only Fang Xun and Shangguan Wudi were left.

Shangguan Wudi asked calmly, "Are you finally going to send troops?"

Fang Xun asked back: "Yes, what advice do you have about Xiangxi?"

For a moment, the atmosphere became solemn again.

Fang Xun had left Xiangxi alone because Shangguan Wudi was in Xiangxi.

Now he made it clear directly, wanting to see what the other party’s attitude was.

After a long while, Shangguan Wudi slowly spoke.

"Five months. In the next five months, you cannot touch Xiangxi. After five months, you can do whatever you want with Xiangxi." (End of this chapter)
