For One Person, All Sides Stirred
Within the Xuantian Dao Sect, atop a cloud-shrouded mountain peak, only three people dressed in purple Daoist robes sat. One of them, an elderly man with a white beard, looked helplessly at the woman opposite him and said...
"True Person Liyue, my dear junior sister! What exactly do you want?"
The White-Bearded Ancestor was quite helpless. His Dao Sect never got involved in these wars, but this junior sister was different. She directly conveyed the Dao Sect's decree to You Province, and all 108 peaks and branches of the sect were mobilized.
Are you crazy?!
The woman in purple opposite the old man had a calm expression. Her face was as white and flawless as jade, her skin was delicate, and a captivating smile unconsciously curled at the corners of her mouth. She also had a curvaceous figure, a broad and voluptuous chest, and Beauty that could topple kingdoms.
His purple Daoist robe was bright yet dignified, making him appear even more carefree and easygoing. Hearing his senior brother's nagging, True Person Liyue said nonchalantly.
"If Senior Brother Liqing thinks I've done something wrong, he can go to the [Pure Bamboo] to complain about me. Besides, it's not just me going this time; Junior Brother Liluo will be going too."
"What? Li Luo is going too? What exactly do you want?"
Upon hearing that Li Luo was also going, the aged, white-bearded Daoist Li Qing suddenly stood up, his eyes filled with surprise and confusion. Two people at the Celestial Phenomenon Realm were going, Li Yue and Li Luo, both of whom could be considered to be at the top of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm.
Thinking about his junior sister's recent situation, the white-bearded Daoist Li Qing, with a hint of curiosity and inquiry in his eyes, analyzed the situation.
"Ever since the last news about the Yinyang Crossing arrived, Junior Sister's state of mind seems to have become somewhat restless. She wants to go out?"
But the Dao Sect has never restricted freedom. Moreover, within the sect, who can stop the True Person Liyue, who is 'one sword Illuminating Moon, nine swords are unparalleled immortals'? And who would dare to stop you, Junior Sister?
Even looking across the entire world, how many forces dare to stop my Xuantian Dao Sect?
"Do you feel the time isn't right? Or are other forces involved?"
Is it the Chu Imperial Clan?
"The last news about Yinyang Crossing came after the Battle of You Province. This time, the Imperial Clan wants to reclaim Cangshui and is calling for Dagan campaign across the thirteen states. Junior Sister, you asked my Dao Sect to take action. What do you want to negotiate with the Imperial Clan?"
Upon hearing her senior brother's analysis, True Person Liyue smiled and teased him.
"Everyone says that Senior Brother Liqing practices the path of transcending the world, ignoring worldly affairs and worldly thoughts, and focusing solely on the Dao. But I see that Senior Brother has quite a few thoughts in his heart, and his mind is completely devoid of that intention of transcending the world and being untouched by worldly dust."
"Senior brother, do you think you secretly gathered information and sent messages to Yinyang Crossing to investigate You Province? Junior sister, I didn't know that! Senior brother, you don't need to do that. I did have something to do with the Dao Sect's intervention, but you guessed wrong. To be precise, I went there for someone."
"A person? Who could possibly persuade Junior Sister to take action? Imperial Clan?"
Li Qing's eyes were full of doubt. His junior sister hadn't left the Dao Sect for nearly fifty years. For whom?
Of course, the Dao Sect never prevented its disciples from going out; this junior sister simply didn't want to go out and was too lazy to move.
True Person Liyue shook his head and said slowly.
"There's no need for you to worry about that, Senior Brother. My Master is aware of this matter and agrees with my decision to take out the Xuantian Sword. I'm not just saying this casually. As for why, you'll understand when I return."
As he spoke, True Person Liyue stood up, bowed to the two of them, and prepared to leave.
"Alright, Senior Brother Liqing, Nephew Shengrong, let's go."
"Take care, Uncle-Master."
Another Daoist priest in purple robes, who had been resting with his eyes closed, quickly got up to see him off. He had remained silent throughout the conversation between his two senior uncles, as both of them were superior to him in terms of seniority and strength. It was better for him to keep quiet.
Otherwise, given Uncle-Master Li Yue's temper, if she really dared to beat him up, he wouldn't be able to defeat her.
After True Person Liyue left, the remaining two exchanged a glance, both feeling somewhat helpless; they couldn't stop him!
I couldn't help but sigh with emotion at the thought of parting.
"A great era is about to begin, the imperial decree has been issued, the world is changing, and chaos is already evident!"
At the same time, news of the war to reclaim the Land of Cangshui spread to Dagan factions and the Martial World.
Taking a piece of flesh from a country and seizing its territory is no easy task. They all knew very well that this war would inevitably require the participation of experts at the Heavenly Realm.
On Bingwu Mountain, a middle-aged man walked down the mountain gate, holding a book in his hands. He had a refined and easygoing demeanor, provided that one could ignore his imposing figure of over three meters tall.
From the location of the Sifang Sword Sect, a figure in green robes rode out on a sword, rising with the wind and heading straight for You Province, his eyes filled with fighting spirit as he murmured to himself.
"Dong Xuanfeng is dead, haha, his swordsmanship was too poor, he wasn't worthy to test my sword. I wonder if Xie Yunmu will come this time. I really want to see the Seven Exhaustions Sword Art again."
Inside a tavern in the city, many patrons were engaged in lively conversation, recounting the major events that had occurred in the Martial World.
"Have you heard? The imperial court has dispatched troops. The Duke Fu's Mansion, the Duke Ding's Mansion, and the Duke Wei's Mansion have all been mobilized and issued proclamations. This battle will surely reclaim the territory that our Dagan lost for a hundred years."
"That's not all. Many martial arts families and sects, as well as highly skilled martial artists from the Martial World, have already set off for You Province."
"What kind of news is this! When did the Imperial Clan make an announcement? His Your Highness Prince of Qin had already issued the Blood Dragon Banner long ago, calling on all sides to take action. Only then did the Imperial Clan make the announcement. It was His Your Highness Prince of Qin who first decided to start the war."
"Your Highness, the King of Prince of Qin, you are truly Unparalleled courage and great talent! First you won the Battle of Youzhou, nearly annihilating the Great Feng in one battle. Now you are sending troops to Cangshui to reclaim the territory of our Dagan Gan."
How could such a person be the carefree prince who indulges in wine and women that everyone talks about? He's a true master who doesn't reveal his true abilities!
"I've heard about it too. It's long overdue. This time, we must teach those Feng people a lesson and wash away the shame of our Dagan Qian Dynasty for a century."
"A century's shame? I seem to recall the Records of the Grand Historian saying that when we started our Dagan, we only had eight provinces. Now that we Dagan thirteen provinces, shouldn't that be their shame?"
"Well, that happened thousands of years ago, who knows if it's true or not? But we lost the Land of Cangshui Dagan than a hundred years ago, that's for sure, ceding territory and paying reparations, what a disgrace!"
Inside a private room of the restaurant, a man in a black robe with a cold demeanor sat alone, listening to the conversations of the various people in the restaurant. A hint of amusement appeared in his eyes, and he muttered to himself.
"Back then, the Dark Night Heavenly Monarch assassinated a Celestial Phenomenon Realm expert from the Great Feng, hanging that man's head high in Cangshui City. The Heavenly Lord became famous throughout the world because of this; he was the Dagan one assassin of that era!"
"Now that Dagan is going to take back Cangshui, that place will still be Da Dagan's territory, and Cangshui City will still be there. The Celestial Phenomenon Realm of Great Feng will also make their move in this battle. With such a good opportunity, do you think I'm any worse than that former Celestial Lord?"
The man in black robes picked up a wine cup, drank it all in one gulp, and vanished in an instant, leaving only a gold ingot on the table radiating the unique aura of money.
