Five Elements Venerable
"Roar!"
After a loud roar, Xiong Da slowly moved forward along the official road with the small house on his back. Li Xunhuan stood on Xiong Da's head, looking relaxed, while Chu Mo and Xing Zhao chatted idly beside him.
"Set off."
Upon hearing Xiong Da's roar, Wang Hanying's expression turned stern. He channeled his inner energy, and a sound echoed throughout the army, which then began its march towards Luocheng.
Inside the small house on Xiong Da's back, Chu Xuanao closed his eyes to rest, but his mind was filled with thoughts.
The Great Feng, the Chu Imperial Clan, the Corpse Immortal Sect, and that imperial star—all the forces from both countries are here. It's impossible for him not to have some feelings about it; none of these people are kind-hearted.
The fact that the two patriarchs of the Imperial Clan and the three ducal mansions all made a move at the same time left Chu Xuanao somewhat confused about what the Imperial Clan was trying to do.
He'd rather Cangshui! He'd dare cede You Province to the Great Feng.
Don't be Cangshui! This guy unleashed five Celestial Phenomenon Realm in one move.
This situation made Chu Xuanao feel that his actions had not only failed to disrupt the Imperial Clan's plans, but had actually helped Imperial Clan; this guy's actions were swift and decisive.
This seemed to suggest that the Imperial Clan was determined to Land of Cangshui, making him feel as if he had punched cotton.
At this point, Chu Xuanao couldn't help but have some opinions about his Imperial Father. Ling Yan from the Duke Fu's Mansion Fuguo's Mansion, Xiao Chengfeng from the Duke Ding's Mansion's Mansion, and Zhang Yongchang from the Duke Wei's Mansion had all been sent to Cangshui, but Zheng Zhongming from the Duke An's Mansion was not coming.
Considering that the Imperial Clan family had previously sent people to test Feng Xian's strength, Chu Xuanao seriously felt that the Imperial Clan was afraid that after Zheng Zhongming left, they would not be able to control Feng Xian with only Zheng Huayuan and his brothers.
After all, these days Feng Xian had dealt quite a bit with Zheng Sanyuan, the former commander of the garrison, while he was in the garrison. Since Lu Bu took office, Zheng Sanyuan, the former commander of the garrison, had become the deputy commander. Of course, this man was also the biggest obstacle for Fengxian to Feng Xian of the army.
The Capital garrison, the Capital's defense force, had always been under the control of the Duke An's Mansion. Now, getting the deeply entrenched Duke An's Mansion in Capital to give up a piece of their flesh will not be easy.
After arriving in Capital, Feng Xian a lot of time training Zheng Sanyuan. He heard that in the past few dozen days, Zheng Sanyuan had spent no more than three hours in total getting out of bed, which was quite remarkable.
With the strength of the Mid Ascension Realm, he was able to fight Feng Xian several times, and he's the only one still alive.
Chu Xuanao wasn't actually worried Feng Xian Fengxian. In the Capital, Fengxian, the Flying General who Feng Xian the Great Feng army and whose fame spread far and wide, was still quite safe on the surface.
Even if the Duke An's Mansion were to intervene, apart from Zheng Zhongming, a powerful expert at the late stage of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm, no one could defeat Feng Xian. But if Zheng Zhongming were to get involved in something as trivial as this, then the Duke An's Mansion's reputation would be ruined.
We're not afraid to take action. Ling Yan has come to Cangshui, but Mingxin is still outside the Capital, so she's safe.
It's unclear when the Imperial Clan and the three ducal mansions will arrive. Several have already secretly arrived, but the Imperial Clan is still nowhere to be seen.
Now we're just waiting for them.
The incident at Cangshui has caused such a huge uproar, involving both countries; surely that imperial star will also make a move, right?
The Great Feng is in such a mess now, and that guy dared to send people directly to the Dong Clan to kill Dong Xuanfeng, which means he must have already set his sights on it.
Otherwise, given Mo Jingtian's strength, he should have made a move long ago, instead of waiting until now. The chaos he's been waiting for has already begun. This is a scheme I personally set up for you; the stage is ready for you, just waiting for you to take the stage.
As Chu Xuanao thought about it, he remembered today's date, March 30th, and tomorrow would be April 1st. He wondered what he would get this time, hoping for something good!
The Cangshui, also known as the Cang River, was once the border between two countries. The turbulent river flows for hundreds of feet, with raging waves crashing against the banks and splashing water. The sound of the rushing, surging river seems to drown out everything else.
On the shore, several figures stood, led by a woman in a light gold robe, carrying a giant golden sword taller than herself. Under the sunlight, the golden sword seemed to gleam brilliantly.
However, this scene seemed somewhat comical and eerie. The knife was very large, about ten feet long, and the blade alone was larger than the woman's own body width, as if she were carrying a shield covering herself.
The woman carried a golden knife on her back, and her head was so far from the hilt that anyone standing behind her could only see the golden knife and nothing else.
The man standing next to the woman was none other than Qin Xiaosheng, the Marquis of Beimu Great Feng. At this moment, he looked anxiously at the surging Cang River and asked the woman with the sword on her back urgently.
"Venerable Gengjin, how is Ninghua?"
In the Five Elements Heavenly Sect, anyone who steps into the Two Realms of Heaven is called a Venerable. This is the rule, but there are exceptions.
That is, [Geng Metal, Green Wood, Dark Water, Yang Fire, Kan Earth] Five Elements Heavenly Sect has always had five powerful figures in charge of the sect's affairs. These five people are collectively known as the Five Elements Venerables.
The woman's identity is self-evident: Venerable Gengjin ranks first among the Five Elements Venerables of our time.
Upon hearing Qin Xiaosheng's question, Venerable Gengjin replied leisurely.
"Don't worry! Ninghua will be fine. The power of the Explosive Pill is indeed impressive, but she has the Azure Water Pearl, so it's not a big problem. Plus, there's the Supreme Origin Pill and the Imperial Clan Life Spring Pill you gave her. She'll be alright!"
"I have already cleaned her entire body. She is recuperating in this Cangshui, with the two cultivators of the same origin assisting her. She should be fully recovered in seven days at most."
Among the current Five Elements Venerables of the Five Elements Heavenly Sect, she and Shui Ninghua are both women. The two have a good personal relationship, and she is also very clear about Shui Ninghua's strength. Her title of Xuan Shui Venerable is not for nothing.
Shui Ninghua follows the path of the ultimate, focusing solely on cultivating the Water Cauldron. In water, her combat power and recovery abilities are several times greater. Water benefits all things, being both gentle and strong. In short, it's not a big deal.
Of course, that also requires the addition of the Life Spring Pill unique to the Great Feng Imperial Clan, the Supreme Origin Pill of the Five Elements Heavenly Sect, the assistance of people with the same cultivation method, and a special environment suitable for oneself. Without these, one can only say that one should lie down for half a year!
"Venerable Gengjin, what are the Five Elements Heavenly Sect's arrangements for this occasion?"
After confirming that Shui Ninghua was alright, Qin Xiaosheng asked about the important matter.
"Did you dismiss the people from all the subordinate units under Luocheng?"
Venerable Gengjin did not answer Qin Xiaosheng's question, but instead stared at Qin Xiaosheng and asked.
Seeing this, Qin Xiaosheng remained calm and said...
"Yes, Cangguan Pass has fallen, and the troops in each city are scattered and cannot be defeated one by one. Ninghua, Marquis of Dongyue, and I have discussed and decided to retreat to Baiyun City, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. We will hold our ground there and wait for reinforcements before planning a counterattack."
The Venerable Gengjin nodded and said in a deep voice.
"Several venerable ones will arrive shortly, along with your imperial court. My Five Elements Heavenly Sect has already rallied all factions in the Martial World to lend a hand."
"It should take a few more days for our reinforcements to arrive. Rest and prepare. Now is not the time for the final battle. Their forces to Dagan the Chu family won't arrive yet either. Don't worry!"
Qin Xiaosheng nodded. He knew that the person she was referring to wasn't the current Venerable One, Ascension Realm wasn't enough. The Venerable Ones she mentioned were definitely experts who had stepped into the Heavenly Realm.
People from the imperial court?
When asked about the imperial court sending someone, Qin Xiaosheng was somewhat puzzled. All the court's personnel had gone to the Northern Border, and even the powerful members of the Great Feng Imperial Clan had been traveling and working outside these days. Where could the court possibly send anyone here now?
No, there's one more. A hint of excitement flashed in Qin Xiaosheng's eyes. Four of the five strongest military marquises of the Great Feng had gone to the Northern Border, and even the Imperial Clan's own experts had begun to be mobilized.
But there's one person who hasn't made a move yet. Could it be that he's really going to make a comeback?
