The Grandmaster Strategist

I don’t know if this chapter will seem irritable or not.

————————————————————————

I frowned and put down a black seed, picked up the bowl of fragrant black soup, drank it in one breath, put down the medicine bowl, and smiled at Fengyi Sect Master, "If you don't mind, Sect Master, I'm quite sensible." I have medical skills and am willing to diagnose and treat the sect master."

The clear and clear eyes above the veil of Fengyi Sect revealed a cold light, and said calmly: "I don't dare to work hard, it's just seven days, I can still support it." As he said that, he put down a white stone.

I smiled helplessly. I guess Master Fengyi didn’t trust me and was worried that I would poison the medicine. If it were normal, when Master Fengyi was not injured, the poison would naturally not hurt her. But it’s hard to say now. The master of the Yi Sect is really cautious.

I took a look at the chessboard and saw that one of my big dragons had been killed to pieces by Fengyi Sect Master. It was really embarrassing. If I didn’t have another purpose, why would I pester Fengyi Sect Master to play chess? But Fengyi Sect Master The sect owner probably didn't want us to suspect that she would leave, so she agreed to my request and let's play chess together in the flower hall. Otherwise, whether it's to recuperate or practice, it would be better than facing me, the enemy who made her great achievements in vain. Much more?

I took another look at the chessboard. After giving up the piece and admitting defeat, I picked up the pen I had put aside, thought about it, wrote a new prescription, handed it to Dong Que and said, "I added two more herbs to this prescription, two more. Send it over in an hour. Also, go and see if Xiao Shunzi has come out of seclusion. If he has, let him come to see me." If Xiao Shunzi comes to play chess, he will be much better than me. Who makes King Qi stay bored in the room all the time? Otherwise, why would I accompany Master Fengyi when I am sick?

Dong Que took the prescription and withdrew respectfully. Fengyi Sect Master silently looked outside the bead curtain, showing no interest in picking up the chess pieces. The leaves of the sycamore trees in the courtyard are yellow, and the west wind is getting colder. This autumn is really bleak. After a while, Fengyi Sect Master Liu frowned slightly. She heard a person walking slowly. The person's steps were gentle and had a strange rhythm, as if they were integrated with the surrounding environment, like falling leaves, silently. After Shui Guo Wuhen, this person's martial arts had entered the innate realm. Fan Huiyao sighed softly, remembering that he had such an achievement when he was thirty-five years old.

After a while, Xiao Shunzi jumped up the door curtain and walked in. After not seeing him for three days, his temperament changed again. If we say that he was like a sword, a sword, a curtain and a lantern. Although he was usually obscure, at critical moments, such as standing in front of When in front of Fengyi Sect Master, he could no longer conceal his domineering momentum and edge. But now, his temperament has become as gentle as jade, a little more mellow and peaceful. Even when facing Fengyi Sect Master, he is so calm and elegant. Although I don't understand the mystery of this, I also guess that Xiao Shunzi's martial arts has reached a higher level after many days of pressure and hard work. After pouring a glass of wine, I held the glass and said, "Xiao Shunzi, congratulations on your great achievements and taking one step further."

Xiao Shunzi stepped forward, took the wine glass with both hands, and said, "Thank you so much, sir. This slave can make some progress. I should thank the Master of the Brahma Sect." After saying that, he calmly gave a gift to the Master of the Fengyi Sect. A look of regret flashed in Fengyi Sect Master's eyes, and he said: "Brother Li's rapid progress in martial arts really makes me admire him. It's a pity that with Brother Li's talent, he has to be ranked among the boy servants. Isn't it a pity, Mr. Jiang?" It would be too unfair to Brother Li."

Xiao Shunzi and I both smiled faintly and looked at each other. How could others know the origin between us? The relationship between us can be described as an ordinary master-servant relationship. Besides, Xiao Shunzi can be a slave if he submits to the status of a servant. Others' solicitations are completely ignored, and others cannot really treat him as a servant, and this servant status allows Xiao Shunzi to act without any scruples, without worrying about status and morality. This is what we have always been master and servant. The most important reason is proportionality.

Opening his eyes, Li Xian felt a headache coming from his hangover. In the past few days, he almost always fell asleep drunk and woke up with a headache. After getting up, he saw a bowl of hangover soup on the table next to him.

He drank the hangover soup in one gulp, and the sour and astringent taste made him frown. In the past few days, he was ordered to be the hostage of Fengyi Sect Master, and he didn't have to do anything. He only had to stay in Wanqiu Residence, so he simply used alcohol to anesthetize himself. Although this was due to the shock that Qin Zheng's death brought to him, Li Xian understood that that was not the real reason. In any case, Li Xian had been prepared for Qin Zheng's death. Once the coup failed, the royal family would not tolerate a traitorous princess. Although Qin Zheng's death was her own choice, even if she escaped this time, she would only survive. What makes Li Xian so painful is the difficult situation he is facing now. King Yong has not yet said how to deal with him, but Li Xian understands that the best outcome is just to take away his military power and make himself an idle clan member. . If he can no longer go to the battlefield, Li Xian really doesn't know how to spend the rest of his life.

After taking a shower and changing clothes, Li Xian walked out of the room with a renewed look. Since his fate was like this, he didn't want others to see his joke. As soon as he walked into the courtyard, Li Xian heard the sound of chess pieces falling on the chess floor in the flower hall. With a move in his heart, he walked towards the flower hall. Opening the bead curtain and walking in, I saw at a glance that under the west window, Jiang Zhe was playing chess with the master of Fengyi Sect, but he looked leisurely, while Xiao Shunzi next to him looked serious, twisting the chess pieces. After thinking hard, you will know who is really playing chess. When he came in, neither Fengyi Sect Master nor Xiao Shunzi raised their heads. Only Jiang Zhe turned his head and smiled slightly. Then Jiang Zhe stood up, pushed Xiao Shunzi onto the chair and walked over. , gave a salute and said: "Your Highness, are you feeling better?"

Li Xian sighed and said, "Why do you ask questions knowingly? By the way, I haven't paid attention to what's happening outside these days. Does my father have any orders?"

I looked at Li Xian's haggard face and said: "As far as I know, the emperor has decreed to depose His Royal Highness the Crown Prince from the throne. The crime of rebellion of the prince will be handed over to the three provinces for discussion. However, according to my speculation, he will be imprisoned. Or be given death. All the subordinates of the prince's east palace will be handed over to the ministry for discussion, and at the very least they will be stripped of their official positions and will never be hired. Concubine Xiao's name will be removed from the genealogy, and her grandson will be demoted to a commoner. The prince's concubine will be demoted to the lady of Korea, and the prince will be demoted. The crown prince was demoted to the title of Prince of Anguo and was sent to the fiefdom. He was not allowed to leave the fiefdom without the imperial edict. The remaining concubines and concubines were raised by Korean wives. Although they were still listed in the genealogy, all titles and rewards were deprived. As for His Highness's culpability, We will discuss the matter after returning to Beijing. However, although Princess Qi committed suicide, the crime is still unavoidable. The emperor has issued an order to remove her from the genealogy. The son born by Princess Qi will not be implicated, but he will not be able to inherit the throne of the prince. "

Li Xian sighed and said: "Second brother Rende is showing mercy. You can tell him that I will not hold on to the military power."

I consoled him: "Your Highness, you and His Highness King Yong might as well have a good talk. There may be some unexpected gains for His Highness."

Li Xian said bitterly: "Suiyun, you don't have to persuade me, I won't cling to military power. I guess as long as I act cautiously from now on, the second brother will not make it too difficult for me. By the way, how to deal with Lu Jingzhong, what will the second brother do to me?" I’m afraid he hates it deeply, right?”

I smiled lightly and said: "His Royal Highness King Yong has sent Xiahou Yuanfeng to kill Lu Jingzhong, probably now. There have been too many things in the past two days, and His Highness has been too busy."

At this time, I heard the master of the Fengyi Sect say: "The winner is the king, the loser is the bandit, that's all. Li Xian, it's useless for you to ask these questions. If you want to live a few more years, you'd better go to King Yong earlier to express your loyalty." "

Li Xian didn't speak, but his expression was a bit more sarcastic. He must have been willing to compromise and beg for mercy, something that this proud prince would never be able to do in his life.

In a side hall of Yulin Hall, Lu Jingzhong stood in front of the window and looked out the window quietly. He knew that he was not very qualified, so he never put much thought into practicing martial arts. Therefore, when Fengyimen placed him under house arrest, Although he was angry, he didn't resist. Anyway, if the Fengyi Sect wants to control the government, it is impossible to do it without themselves. No one can sort out the original forces around the prince except him, Lu Jingzhong, so he has never looked at the complacent actions of Li Hanyou and others. In his eyes, seizing the palace required force anyway, so he couldn't afford to interfere. But there are some things that these lofty-minded women cannot do. If nothing else, in order to force King Qi to send troops, they have to release themselves from the wing where they are under house arrest. Although they are still not allowed to leave the Jade Lin Palace, But when they needed to negotiate with Emperor Yong, they had to let themselves come forward. Li Hanyou and others couldn't handle these things. Even though Wei Ying was extremely talented, he was still far behind him when it came to the subtleties of government affairs.

However, King Yong successfully reversed the situation. When he heard the sounds of fighting on all sides of the hunting palace, Lu Jingzhong felt as cold as ice. He knew very well that no matter how talented the counselor was, he would not be able to deal with those swords, guns, swords and halberds. Useless. The prince's failure means his own failure. When the nest is overturned, there will be no eggs left intact. In the past few days, he was ordered by King Yong to be placed under house arrest in the side hall of Yulin Hall. He had also thought about the possibility of survival. Unfortunately, although he was not willing to die for the prince, he did not seek refuge with King Yong to advance his career. King Yong was supported by Shi Yu, Wen had three great advisers, Wu had generals such as Changsun and Jing Chi, and even more proficient in strategy, such as the prodigy Jiang Zhe. There was a place for him, not to mention that he was the prince in the past. He made plans and made King Yong almost suffer many times. King Yong would never have the intention to recruit him. I'm afraid he was just put under house arrest in the past few days without any disposal. Either he was too busy to forget, or he didn't want to let himself die happily.

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside, which were neat and powerful. They must have been a team of well-trained sergeants. Those people were standing beside the door, and then one of them opened the door and walked in. Lu Jingzhong looked back and saw Xiahou Yuanfeng, dressed in green clothes, as bright as a jade tree in the wind, holding a tray in his hand with a jade bottle on it. As soon as Xiahou Yuanfeng entered the room, the sergeant behind him closed the door. Xiahou Yuanfeng placed the jade bottle on the table in the center of the room and said calmly: "Master Lu, I have been ordered to come and see you off."

Lu Jingzhong's heart trembled, and inexplicable weariness welled up in his heart. He walked to the table, picked up the jade bottle, played with it for a moment, and said: "Xiahou, it is normal for my Yuezong disciples to kill each other, but I still don't understand. Why did you betray the prince? You must know that if you hadn't conveyed the secret order to King Qin Yongqin, King Yong would have died this time. By then, your status would only be higher than it is now. Because we are uncles and nephews. Come on, just make it clear."

Xiahou Yuanfeng was silent for a moment and said, "Didn't Uncle Master know that I was poisoned by Jiang Sima, so I was forced to surrender?"

Lu Jingzhong said with a smile: "Don't hide it from me. I know your character very well. You would rather use poison to extract confessions to get the antidote than to sacrifice the near for the distant."

Xiahou Yuanfeng was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "Master uncle really knows Yuan Feng, so my nephew will not hide it from him. First, Jiang Sima was seriously ill at the time. If I tortured him to force him to confess, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to force him to confess." After the antidote was taken out, he died, and this person was soft on the outside but strong on the inside. If it was an ordinary and trivial matter, he might be able to be forced to do so, but if it was such a big matter, even threatening him with life and death would be useless."

Lu Jingzhong remained calm because he knew that this was not the real purpose of Xiahou Yuanfeng's surrender.

Sure enough, Xiahou Yuanfeng said again: "There is another reason, that is, my nephew never thinks that he is a member of the Yue Sect. The purpose of the Yue Sect is to assist the Mingjun in troubled times and unify the world. It is the competition between the same sects for the position of the sect leader. , got the chance to get a glimpse of the true book of the Yin Fu Jing, but they also killed each other, but I, Xiahou Yuanfeng, have no ambitions, and the Yin Fu Jing has no weight in my eyes. Others will do it to assist the Ming Lord in unifying the world. I I just want to hold the power and enjoy the glory and wealth. I don’t want to be the leader of the Yue Sect at all. So for me, the shortcut is to vote for a wise king. His Royal Highness is fatuous and incompetent. If he becomes the emperor, not to mention Dayong’s future is dim. Those women in Fengyi Sect can control the prince more easily than us. Even if I, Xiahou Yuanfeng, want to be a sycophant, why am I afraid that I won't be able to do so?

His Highness King Yong is different. Although His Highness King Yong is wise and sophisticated, it is difficult to serve him. He cannot do things perfunctorily. If he does not have real ability and does not work hard, he will not be able to escape the eyes of His Highness. But with my talents, I can still do it. Are you afraid that you will not be appreciated by His Highness? Although His Highness has many talents under his command, there are many gentlemen and few villains. No matter who is a wise king or a holy master, he needs villains like me. There are some things that a wise king cannot do and a wise minister cannot do, but I can do them. As long as I am loyal to King Yong, I will surely prosper one day. Compared to the illusory Yin Fu Sutra, doesn't Master Shishu think that his nephew's choice is the most practical? You have to choose the right time just to take refuge. This time I saved him successfully, and I will definitely be reused by King Yong in the future. What other opportunity is more suitable than this one? "

Lu Jingzhong's face was angry at first, then gradually turned to disappointment, and finally became calm. He smiled bitterly and said: "I see, I didn't see through your mind, that's all, that's all, that's your own choice. Does your father know?"

Xiahou Yuanfeng smiled lightly and said: "There is no better son than a father. Besides, my father has never been involved in the rebellion, so my uncle doesn't have to worry about him."

Lu Jingzhong opened the stopper of the jade bottle and seemed to remember something, and said: "Since my nephew has decided to follow King Yong, I would like to remind you that Jiang Zhe has a treacherous mind and far-reaching plans. If this person has the intention to harm you, , you are bound to lose. If you don’t take advantage of the fact that King Yong has not yet ascended the throne and Jiang Zhe is seriously ill, you kill him. Otherwise, you will eventually be suppressed by Jiang Zhe, and your uncle has long suspected King Yong. There may be a dark force in his hands. That power is probably in the hands of Jiang Zhe. The evil shadow Li Shun is a hero among men. This person is probably the leader of that force. Otherwise, it is difficult to explain why he still has to be second to none with his martial arts talents. The reason for being among the servants.”

Xiahou Yuanfeng's expression became colder and he said: "Uncle Master is indeed cruel and wants to harm me even before he dies. Although Yuanfeng is confused, he also knows that Jiang Zhe can only be a friend and not an enemy. And I think that although this person is very scheming, , but he does not like to work hard, otherwise he would not have served as Sima for such a long time. He rarely interfered with the affairs of Prince Yong's Mansion. As soon as Shi Yu returned to Chang'an, he immediately took over the government affairs of Prince Yong's Mansion again. If Jiang Zhe was the one who was fighting for power. How could a person be like this? And if this person was really in love with power, when Prince De used him in Nanchu, he would not have hidden himself in the court due to his ability. What's more, if he was really like this If he is greedy for power, King Yong will not tolerate him sooner or later, so why should I be in trouble with him?"

Lu Jingzhong smiled bitterly and said: "If you don't believe in good advice, you will regret it too late in the future. That's all. That's all." His words were full of regret and a trace of almost imperceptible resentment. Lu Jingzhong calmly drank the bottle of poison in one gulp. .

Looking at Lu Jingzhong's body, Xiahou Yuanfeng reached out and closed his wide eyes for him, and said calmly: "Uncle Master, why do you want to sow discord before you die, so that you can't rest in peace?"

Seven days passed by in a hurry. On this morning, Fengyi Sect Master got lucky and felt that her internal strength had recovered to the seventh level. She couldn't help but be overjoyed. She agreed to stay that day, just nursed her injuries, and then rushed out of the hunting house with her martial arts skills. Gong's plan, although she doesn't have the right medicine to nurse her back to health now, 70% of her martial arts skills are enough for her to use. Pushing open the door, Fengyi Sect Master took a deep breath of the fresh autumn air, and examined it carefully. She planned to kill Jiang Zhe first, and then King Qi. After that, if she had the ability, she would go and see if She was able to kill King Yong, but it was Princess Changle who had done so much harm to her. She had no murderous intention in her heart. The master of Fengyi Sect admired a woman for being able to do such a thing, so she was unwilling to harm her. Although it is said that Prince Li An is still alive, it is too hard to bring a living person. If he rushes back to Chang'an and takes control of Xiao Lan's grandson, he may not be able to regain control of the Yongjiang Mountains by then.

However, after a closer inspection, Fengyi Sect Master's heart was moved. Jiang Zhe and Qi Wang were not in Wanqiu Residence. Fengyi Sect Master's eyebrows were furrowed. After further inspection, he found that there were only two people within a few miles around. They were waiting outside, and just by hearing the footsteps of the two people, the master of Fengyi Sect knew their identities. She said coldly: "Master Cizhen, Evil Shadow Li Shun, you don't have to wait any longer. I am already waiting here. It seems that Jiang Zhe is smart and knows that I am just using a delaying tactic. But just the two of you, Can I keep my seat?" The courtyard door opened without any wind, and a monk in gray clothes clasped his hands together, with a red mole on his eyebrows. Beside him, Li Shun was dressed in green, smiling slightly.

Fengyi Sect Master smiled coldly, holding the hilt of the sword in his hand and said: "With your kindness, my defeated general, the injury he suffered in the past few days healed so quickly, Xieying, although you have advanced to the innate realm, If it were a fair duel, it wouldn't be a problem to take on my hundreds of moves, but in a real life-and-death fight, with my swordsmanship and experience, you would definitely die.

Xiao Shunzi smiled lightly and said: "Master, before we fight, I want to pass on a few words to my young master."

Fengyi Sect Master was moved in his heart and said: "I would like to listen to his magical plan."

Xiao Shunzi ignored her sarcasm and said: "My young master said that although the sect leader won, he killed ten thousand people and lost three thousand to himself. Master Cizhen and the sect leader are among the three great masters, so the sect leader must have suffered heavy injuries." , Master Cizhen did not come, or he had died under the sword of the sect master, or he was seriously injured and escaped. No matter which case, depending on the condition of the sect master at that time, he would definitely fight to the death. Your Majesty, three princes and a princess He and several important military ministers were all in the palace. If there were too many losses, it would be difficult for Dayong to cope with the upcoming war, and it was not what the young master was willing to accept. Therefore, the young master reached an agreement with the sect master out of selfish motives, as the sect master did not want to perish together. Agreement, the young master calculated that the sect master would accept the seven-day agreement, thinking that it was a delaying strategy. However, the sect master forgot one thing. No matter whether he was alive or dead, Master Cizhen would never let the sect master bring disaster to the world. As expected, five days ago, the Shaolin Temple The Eighteen Arhats have already arrived at the Hunting Palace, and Master Cizhen also arrived two days ago, but the young master had already asked His Highness King Yong to send sergeants to greet them from a distance, so it was not until today that they came to Wanqiu Residence."

An icy cold light flashed in Fengyi Sect Master's eyes, and he mocked: "Although there are many people, a pack of wolves cannot defeat a tiger. Even though they are many, they are useless."

Xiao Shunzi smiled lightly and said: "My young master also knows this. He said that a thousand elite soldiers are better than more than ten thousand rabble, so he has other motives for making this seven-day agreement. May I ask Master Fengyi, Master The life-saving pill he took was the Nine-turn Heart-Protect Pill."

The master of Fengyi Sect said proudly: "It is the medicine sage's personal prescription. Without this elixir, I might not be able to travel hundreds of miles to come to the hunting palace. If your young master had not taken this medicine, I am afraid he would have died a long time ago." At Xiaoshuang Palace."

A hint of murderous intent flashed in Xiao Shunzi's eyes, and he said: "It's the Nine-turn Heart-Protect Pill, but the sect owner seems to have forgotten one thing. Mr. Sang once said that this pill can only be taken when you are close to death, and it also needs to be taken." Take more care for a few days after taking the elixir."

The master of Fengyi Sect was stunned and had a bad feeling in his heart. Sang Chen really said this at the beginning, but he never thought that he would need to take pills. Secondly, he was also confident in the miraculousness of the internal skills he practiced. , as long as you save your life, you can heal your internal injuries, and you don't take this sentence very seriously.

Xiao Shunzi smiled sarcastically and said: "The sect master really didn't take Mr. Sang's instructions to heart. When Mr. Sang entrusted this medicine to me that day, he once said that the Nine-turn Heart-protecting Pill uses heavenly materials and earthly treasures. The refining of this precious medicine can stimulate the human body's potential and sustain life. If you suffer from internal injuries, heart failure, or are dying, taking this medicine can stimulate all the essence and blood. However, there are advantages and disadvantages. Potential Although stimulation can bring the dead back to life, it consumes the life force of the person who takes it. Therefore, after the life is saved, he must take various tonic drugs to make up for it. Mr. Sang is because my young master is too heartbroken and cannot be cured by ordinary methods. , that’s why I kept this medicine, and waited until the last possible moment to use this medicine to stimulate the young master’s potential and achieve the effect of breaking down and then standing up again. Although this method is very dangerous, if it succeeds, although the young master will not be able to fully recover his health, it does not need to be used. I am worried that I will die at any time. A few days ago, the sect master saw that my young master almost eats medicine every day, just to seize the opportunity and cure stubborn diseases. At that time, the master once offered to heal the sect master’s injuries. Unfortunately, the sect master is also like the master. I generally refused."

Fengyi Sect Master said in a hoarse voice: "How dare I take Jiang Sima's good medicine? I am a direct disciple of the Medical Sage. His poisoning skills are unparalleled in the world. I don't dare to try it yet."

Xiao Shunzi said proudly: "This is also what my young master wanted. The young master told me how to poison the disciples of the noble sect that day, just to make the sect master feel wary and fearful, so the sect master did not dare to use the medicine casually, otherwise it would be No matter how much the sect leader believes Mr. Sang's words, he would rather believe it than believe it and invite famous doctors to treat his body. My young master's seven-day appointment is to prevent the sect master from taking medicine to recuperate. Of course, if If the sect master really dares to use medicine, my young master said, he has no choice but to risk poisoning."

Sweat was dripping on Fengyi Sect Master's forehead. She had never thought that Jiang Zhe's scheming could reach such an extent, and that this delaying strategy would actually give him an advantage.

Xiao Shunzi added: "My young master took the risk to stay in Wanqiu Residence for seven days, and invited the sect master to play chess and drink tea every day. In order to confuse my young master, the sect master created the illusion that the sect master will abide by his promise and commit suicide. He will definitely not Refuse. Therefore, the sect master has no time to pay attention to his own changes, and the recovery of internal energy will also make the sect master consume more life, giving him the illusion that everything is under control, and will not notice the exhaustion of vitality."

Fengyi Sect Master subconsciously looked at her hands. The formerly crystal and beautiful plain hands had indeed lost their luster. She only thought it was due to the injury, but she didn't expect it to be a sign of the loss of life.

At this time, Xiao Shunzi added another heavy blow and said: "Young master said that the master of the sect has always been conceited and only guarded against others plotting against others. He never thought that time is your greatest asset. Now Master Cizhen's internal strength has recovered to 50%, and there is absolutely no Hidden dangers, I also have the strength to fight, and the current internal strength of the sect master is actually your life and blood essence, so the master believes that we can keep the sect master here. Originally, if Master Cizhen did not come, the master would have to use his master's skills After dealing with the master of the sect, the arrival of Master Cizhen and the Shaolin monks gave the young master more manpower. However, the young master said that he did not know martial arts, so he would not stay here to wait for death. Now all the important people in the hunting palace are They have been hidden. No matter how powerful the sect leader is, it is impossible to find them immediately. The young master said that the sect leader is going to hell, so he will not see them off in person."

The Master of Fengyi Sect suddenly laughed loudly, and after a long time, he stopped laughing and said: "Okay, okay, I have been fighting all over the world my whole life, and in the end I have made calculations for such a weak scholar. Okay, let me see if it can be done. Take a few more lives.”

Master Cizhen and Xiao Shunzi took a step forward at the same time. The air between the three of them seemed to freeze. A gust of autumn wind blew by, and the yellow leaves in the sky rushed towards the three of them. However, before they could get close to the three of them, they were pushed away by the invisible Qi. .

At this moment, in a small building in the Hunting Palace where Wan Qiu Ju can be seen from a distance, Jiang Zhe and Yong Wang Li Zhi stood in front of the window, looking in the direction of Wan Qiu Ju. At this time, a deafening sound suddenly sounded in the center of Wanqiu. At first, it was the sound of Zhenqi surging like thunder, then the sound of sword energy tearing through the sky, then the sound of houses collapsing, flying sand and rocks, and then, the sound became louder and louder. The sounds were getting louder and harsher. Although they were far away, both Li Zhi and Jiang Zhe had a trace of pain on their faces. The sounds were like thunder in their ears, almost piercing their eardrums. Fortunately, Jiang Zhe was prepared and stuffed two balls of cotton into his ears. Li Zhi also followed suit.

After a while, eighteen gray figures flew into the ruins of Wanqiuju. Smoke and dust billowed within a hundred feet of Wanqiuju. It was impossible to see how they were fighting. However, Jiang Zhe and Li Zhi stood far away and still saw them. The sword light was as bright as a silver rainbow. Finally, a long laugh came from the smoke. The laughter should have been sweet and moving, but now it was full of anger and reluctance. Then there was a sound of "Peng", and a dazzling and fierce fire appeared in the smoke. When this large fire broke out, it was as powerful as lightning, covering an area of ​​almost one foot in diameter. The flames were cylindrical in shape, with the center turning blue in color, and the outside a white flame. When it reached the outermost surface, it turned a dazzling red.

I felt relieved when I heard that the laughter was coming from a woman. It was filled with the sadness of a hero's demise and the resentment of his failed ambitions. I thought my plan had been successful. My mind was drained, and I sat down on the chair, feeling that my limbs were weak. I successfully forced the master of Fengyi Sect to death. This was probably the biggest adventure in my life.
