Today, the Bai Clan Fort was calm and peaceful.
That night, the Black Armored Army of Tensei Province invaded. General Wang Wuan was held back in Qinzhou City by the imperial edict and was in a precarious situation. At this critical moment, a beam of sword energy whizzed through the air like a celestial being and cut a huge gully in the ground. The sword energy traveled for thirty thousand miles and cut through Qinzhou from Summer Province.
Thus, the siege of the Bai Clan Fort was resolved.
After dawn, the people who climbed up the watchtower of the Bai Clan Fort gasped. They could not see clearly in the dark of the night. Now that the sky was clear, they finally understood why Pharmacist Li and his wife did not hesitate to withdraw the Black Armored Army and left so decisively.
The deep gully extended all the way and left a deep mark on the mountain. It was as if a godly sword had left a terrifying sword mark on the ground.
Regardless of whether it was Yue Buqun, whose name shook the Jianghu with the title of Jade Sword Guest, or the people of the Bai Family, who were disciples of the Sword Saint, when they saw this long and terrifying mark at close range, their hearts couldn't help but tremble … As people who also used the sword, this long mark made their sword hearts feel fear.
The shock and emotion in their hearts could not be described with words.
Let's put it this way … If someone suddenly told them that there was an expert in the world who could slash out a sword energy that could travel thousands of miles from Jinling in Summer Province all the way to Xichuan in Qin Province, it would be so mighty and powerful that it could almost cut a mountain in half — then they definitely wouldn't believe it.
But after seeing this sword mark, they would believe it.
As long as they saw this mark, they would believe that it was within the power of a human and that it was slashed from Summer Province all the way to Qinzhou … because this mark contained sword energy that was almost tangible.
Little Yue Yue was like a pervert who had seen a peerless beauty. He did not care about the elegance of an expert and his elegant white robe. He immediately lay on the ground like a toad and looked at the long sword mark inch by inch.
The sword masters of the Bai family were not any better.
Therefore, the Head Steward of the Bai Clan Fort was still Wei Zhongxian. As the saying goes, the older the wiser the wiser. The old eunuch immediately saw an opportunity. In order to prevent people from returning to Tensei Province, he immediately arranged for people to spread the news. One person spread to ten, and ten spread to a hundred. The local swordsmen of Qin Province all rushed to the Bai Clan Fort like a flock of ducks. They all wanted to see this sky-piercing drill … I mean, sword qi.
Those who were not skilled naturally could not see anything, while those who were skilled were like Little Yueyue and the people of the Bai family, unable to extricate themselves from the Sword Qi.
There was a problem here, and that was that the distribution of fighting power in the world of martial artists was like a pyramid. Those with low standards would always outnumber those with high standards. Theoretically speaking, there would not be many people who would be able to gain anything, but this also involved the problem of the Emperor's New Clothes. The old man from Earth Ultimate Sword Sect, who was said to be on par with him, was he shameless enough to say that he could not see anything?
Of course, he had to forcefully comprehend it.
Therefore, Wei Zhongxian, who had heard Sun Lang's story about the modified version of "Ode to Gallantry", immediately came up with a series of evil plans. Through subtle manipulation and guidance, he successfully stimulated the ugly desire of humans to compare themselves to others and to show off. A group of martial artists would gather outside the Bai Clan Fort to study the Sword Qi day and night. This was equivalent to having countless guards and sentries around the Bai Clan Fort for free.
With more and more people coming to the Bai Clan Fort, even if Doctor Li came back and doubled the number of Black Armored Troops in Tensei Province, it would not be able to change anything.
After the first wave of rewards from the imperial court, the news of the Shentse General spread like wildfire. Jinling sent word that Wei Zhongxian was safe and sound. More and more martial artists gathered around the Bai Clan Fort to study the Sword Qi. Wei Zhongxian's actions followed closely behind, and the martial artists of Qinzhou all remembered a name …
Shentse General Sun Lang, whose original name was Jia Ying, was the leader of the six generals during the Great War of Tianyuan. He was once the Grand Marshal of the World and was known as the Commander Of War. He disappeared during the last battle in the Great Barren Mountain and was believed to have died in the battle. However, he returned two years later. It must have been a story that stirred the hearts of the people.
For those martial artists, fame and official positions were all fake. The only thing that mattered was one's ability. The Sword Qi contained so much information that it was enough to shut all the doubts in the people's minds. Since the Sword Qi was so real, then the identity of the person who used it could not be any more real.
Wei Zhongxian had once mingled in the palace and was well versed in manipulating people's hearts and guiding public opinion. A few years ago, he had been enlightened by Sun Lang with modern ideas, and his methods were even more unconstrained and imaginative. He took the opportunity to instill some rebellious ideas into the people's heads, leading them to a happy rhythm.
Today, Wei the Great was sitting in the Bai Family Castle, thinking about his next move. He was thinking about whether he should go one step further. For example, he could transform this place into a martial arts holy land around the huge sword qi mark. He could create some gimmicks, certifications, and qualifications. After all, humans wouldn't cherish things that were easily obtained … In short, it seemed like he could make good use of this plan.
At this moment, there was the sound of brisk footsteps outside. Before the person arrived, the voice came first. "Grandpa Wei!"
A soft smile appeared on Wei Zhongxian's old face. Xie Wei had a special quality that made the people around her feel her kindness and sunshine. Even Wei Zhongxian, an old man who lived in the dark all year round and did not believe in human nature, could not help but smile.
The little fairy poked her head out from the side of the door and waved the letter in her hand. "Sun Lang wrote a letter!"
Wei Zhongxian got up to greet her. Xie Wei handed the letter over. The little fairy smiled like an excited elf. "Sun Lang said that he wants us to go to a place called the Imperial Capital. Is it fun there?"
Wei Zhongxian's expression froze for a moment before returning to normal in an instant. Had he finally reached this step?
He thought.
Enter the Imperial Capital.
He knew what this meant.
There was no strategic buffer. In the Imperial Capital, in the Imperial Capital of the Earth Houtu, the avenger and the initiator were gambling on the country and the future. Some things had to be settled.
But for some reason, there was no fear or uneasiness in Wei Zhongxian's heart.
At this moment, a rather hilarious thought appeared in his mind.
— — Do I have to go back to the palace again?
He put away this wonderful thought and said as he opened the letter, "For people who don't live there, the capital is undoubtedly a very interesting place. There are seventy-two main shops, three hundred and sixty branch shops, exotic scenery, and wonderful things in the world. It's a dazzling sight. It's the most majestic city in the world, the most prosperous paradise …"
The little fairy showed a yearning expression, but she found the premise in Wei Zhongxian's words. "What about the people who live there?"
"That depends on the situation and the people …" Wei Zhongxian smiled slightly. "Miss Wei doesn't have to think about this. You are going to play, and with the master there, you will be very happy."
Xie Wei shook her head vigorously. "No, I have an appointment with Sun Lang to go to the Imperial Capital to help Sister Lu find a way to recover her body. Of course, I can play by the way!"
Wei Zhongxian smiled and opened the letter. His eyes swept over Sun Lang's iconic sharp handwriting.
He was stunned for a moment.
After the night in Jinling, they had exchanged letters twice, but they were only to report their safety and make arrangements. Apart from that, there was nothing else. At that time, Sun Lang's mood still hadn't calmed down.
But this time, Sun Lang seriously wrote the cause and effect. He wrote that he had restored his original name, wrote about the opportunity, and wrote about what the Old Madam had done in the end.
Wei Zhongxian finished reading the letter. For a moment, his heart sighed as if a long time had passed.
He grew up in the depths of the palace and was tired of the repetition and spread of ugliness in people's hearts. He firmly believed that human nature was evil, but this time, like Sun Lang, something in his heart was shaken.
It turned out to be like this, it could be like this …
Xie Wei asked, "What's wrong?
What did Sun Lang say? "
Wei Zhongxian returned to his senses. His smile was softer than before. "It's a very good thing … … a good person like him should be treated like this."
The little minx didn't understand very well, but out of courtesy, she wouldn't use her mind-reading ability on Wei Zhongxian. Even so, she could feel the joy in Wei Zhongxian's heart. Words could also convey emotions.
She nodded seriously. "Yes, Sun Lang is the kindest person I've ever met."
Old Wei smiled. "Prepare, prepare, we'll be entering the capital in a few days."
A little later, the girls in Mingzhou also received the letter. Before this, General Shentse's reward had also floated here. Zhao Yunlong and Qi Guanyan were the top military officials in the Empire, so they naturally had their own channels of information. But this time, the detailed narration of the past by the person involved had tugged at the heartstrings of the girls.
Joy that came from the heart flowed through Marquis Jingan fu.
Mao Mei Courrier was very excited. She didn't have a deep understanding of Sun Lang's past and pain. She only knew that Sun Lang wanted to fight against the Empire. Just this point was enough. After all, the Empire was like a celestial kingdom and ignored Li Huo. Every hot-blooded Russian felt indignant about this and treated those Easterners as the most evil big boss. Defeating the Empress Dowager's imperialism came from the heart.
And Sun Lang told her that he was going to enter the capital to cause trouble, so Mao Mei flew up in joy. She shouted very happily — — she already couldn't wait.
Yinluo was responsible for receiving the Blazing Angel. After taking out the letter, he immediately took his share and slipped back into the room with a guilty conscience. Auntie Lu chatted with Zhao Yunlong who had rushed over and also went back into the room to read the letter. Young Miss Zhao had some matters to attend to earlier and came a bit late. When she arrived, only Zhao Yunlong was left.
Young Miss Zhao asked, "What's wrong?
What's wrong? "
Zhao Yunlong calmly handed over a letter: "It's a good thing. Sun Lang can openly be called Sun Lang."
After Young Miss Zhao took the letter, she hurriedly turned and left. She also hurried to read the letter.
And behind her, the expressionless Zhao Yunlong finally couldn't hold back the joy in his heart. He forcefully jumped up and fiercely waved his fist, revealing a brilliant smile.
