Living is a difficult thing, but it is not impossible.

For example, Jiang Wangji, and the Master, paid a price that ordinary people cannot bear in exchange for a long millennium.

Fan Lingyue is right, Ning Chen did not die, he survived with difficulty and embarrassment.

The forbidden move was useless, but Ning Chen's body's meridians were still destroyed. The true energy gathered in the Dantian Qi sea. Whenever it passed through the damaged meridians, it was like thousands of poisonous needles piercing the bones, and the pain was unbearable.

"If you don't want to die, just hold back," Mu Chengxue said coldly.

Xiantian True Qi is injected and forced through the broken meridians, dissipating the Pure Karma Primordial Sword Qi from every wound.

"Uh"

Ning Chen let out a long painful groan, and blood flowed from the corners of his mouth. After the power of the forbidden move dissipated, it turned black again.

There are no meridians, and the true energy is forced through the physical body. This kind of pain is unimaginable. Ning Chen doesn't want to die, so he can only endure it.

The sword that purifies karma and slays sins has too great a restraining effect on vain Undying Body like Ning Chen. If the remaining Sword Qi is not driven away, even Undying Body will collapse quickly.

Mu Chengxue's true energy surged throughout his body, constantly penetrating the physical body's barrier and directly reaching the former's body.

As time passed, Mu Chengxue's expression changed again and again. She couldn't understand how he could survive to this day with his body.

The internal organs are completely destroyed, the poison is all over the body, and now even the meridians are broken. Undying Body will not die, but it does not mean that he has no consciousness.

There are limits to what a person can bear. Can such pain really be overcome by willpower alone?

Mu Chengxue was silent, and used his right hand's infuriating force for another three points to speed up the dispersal.

Half an hour later, the residual power of Pure Karma Primeval in Ning Chen's body was finally completely driven away, and his body that was gradually collapsing gradually stabilized, barely holding firm.

"From now on, you can't use your true energy anymore," Mu Chengxue said calmly as he stopped his hand.

Without meridians, the true energy has nowhere to go and can only travel through the physical body. No one can endure such pain. Forced martial arts or cultivation will only lead to obsession due to distraction.

Ning Chen opened his eyes, smiled tiredly, and said, "It doesn't matter, as long as you can live."

"My promise has been fulfilled. From now on, I will no longer care about your life or death. Cherish the few days you have left."

After saying that, Mu Chengxue turned around and walked towards the depths of the underworld.

Northern Mongol Royal Court, reinforcements were gathered day by day, and after several months of preparation, the 200,000-strong army finally set off from Northern Mongolia in a mighty manner and headed south through Yan Returning City.

The powerful combat capability of 70,000 cavalry and 130,000 infantry once again posed a major threat to the Great Xia north.

The two armies collided for the first time three hundred miles south of Yan Returning City. The two Martial Marquis, Marquis Buyi and Marquis Ziyang, had been waiting for a long time. After three days of fighting, they temporarily blocked the pace of the Northern Mongolian reinforcements moving south.

The combat effectiveness of the Northern Mongolian cavalry is obviously higher than that of the Xia army. However, the two Martial Marquis are both battle-hardened men. Two hundred thousand versus two hundred thousand, in a short period of time, it is difficult to decide the outcome.

The place where the two armies are fighting is close to the border between the two Koreas. Reinforcements will arrive at any time. No one knows the future battle situation.

Within Northern Mongol Royal Court, conscription is still ongoing. The grassland people are warlike and good at fighting. They are good at riding and shooting since childhood. They are a real war nation.

Fan Lingyue's prestige in Northern Mongolia is unparalleled. When the conscription order was issued, the young men's reaction was not to resist, but to respond actively.

On the contrary, the military conscription order of the Daxia court was something that the people were extremely resistant to at any time. The people of Daxia liked peace, but they also lacked the bloodiness they should have.

After the reinforcements from Northern Mongolia entered the country, the pressure on Great Xia increased by several points. Now Heaven's Gate Pass is still under the control of Northern Mongolia, and Great Xia is always in a passive situation.

South of Heaven's Gate Pass, the Northern Mongolian army led by Fan Lingyue posed an unparalleled threat to Great Xia. Especially after the defeat of the reinforcements from the west, this threat increased to an unprecedented level.

Imperial Guards There are only four battalions left in the imperial city, and there cannot be any more. Otherwise, if there are any more changes, the consequences will be disastrous.

On the northern battlefield, the only real combat strength left was Blood-clothed Marquis and Imperial Guards who had less than 140,000 men under Duke Jingwu.

The 20,000 cavalrymen who were free from the Northern Mongolian army crossed the river one step ahead and guarded the other side of the North River. With the help of natural dangers, they caused a lot of trouble to Duke Jingwu's army.

The order given to the 20,000 cavalrymen was to delay the Duke Jingwu army as much as possible without fighting to the death. Therefore, after the two armies fought in the North River, the 20,000 cavalrymen left.

In the next few days, the two armies clashed several times. The 20,000 cavalrymen fled every time, mainly harassing the troops and not willing to fight.

The Northern Mongolian cavalry has the best mobility in the world, even Great Xia's most elite Imperial Guards can't match it.

On the other side, after the disastrous defeat of one hundred thousand reinforcements, the fifty-five thousand Imperial Guards under Blood-clothed Marquis immediately fell into a very embarrassing situation, unable to advance or retreat, and were in a dilemma.

Two days later, the Northern Mongolian army came out Yangguan City and moved southward.

Reinforcements were constantly sent to the Yanbian city, but they were only a drop in the bucket and did not have much effect.

After a siege, Ning Chen showed up at the Xia Army camp significantly less often, and would take a different route every time he left the foggy forest, trying to cover up his whereabouts as much as possible.

Ning Chen didn't mention that night, and Blood-clothed Marquis didn't know either.

When Mu Chengxue was in the underworld, Sword Intent still kept trying to break through. Although he failed every time, he always persisted.

Ning Chen silently downplayed Scroll of Heaven and handed the technique to Mu Chengxue as a thank you for his help.

Mu Chengxue did not shirk, accepted the Scroll of Heaven technique, and then continued to do what he had not finished.

Ning Chen couldn't practice, so he thought about the war every day, looking over a march map over and over again, and seriously thinking about every possibility in the future.

Facing Fan Lingyue, both he and Great Xia Dynasty suffered too many losses, and their successive defeats forced him to think again and again.

He had not expected Fan Lingyue's previous move. It had been too long since Northern Martial Marquis's rebellion. Not only him, but probably no one in the entire world would remember this person.

However, who could have imagined that at this critical moment, Northern Martial Marquis, who had been forgotten by the world, stabbed him and Great Xia severely again.

Fan Lingyue, I hid this move for so long that everyone forgot about it, and then I took it out.

In the next few days, the Northern Mongolian army continued to move south, and the army was getting closer and closer to the imperial city. The atmosphere of panic in Great Xia became more and more serious. Correspondingly, various hidden dangers reappeared, causing chaos to Great Xia.

In the southeast of Great Xia, the major sects that have been suppressed by Great Xia's majesty for thousands of years are acting increasingly arrogantly and no longer restrain themselves.

In the past, the reputation of one sect, one floor, and two families spread again and came to the forefront.

The first sect refers to the Sword Sect, the first floor refers to Dangerous Tower, and the two aristocratic families refer to Wang Family of Donglin and Yao Family of Yucheng respectively.

The four major forces are ranked in no particular order. If we have to talk about strength ranking, Jian Zong and Wang Family of Donglin may be relatively stronger.

Fan Lingyue quickly contacted the major sects and aristocratic families, saying that as long as the major sects can help Northern Mongolia conquer Great Xia, they will do their best to support the development of the major sects and aristocratic families, and will not impose restrictions like Great Xia.

This promise made all the sects tempted. They didn't care who became the emperor of this land, but they needed a relaxed development environment.

Great Xia For thousands of years, it has always insisted on suppressing the growth of major sects and families. Past facts have proved that sects are the real source of trouble. Thousands of years ago, when the three thousand major religions were prosperous, it was also the era of the Divine Continent that saw the most fights and wars on the earth.

Faced with the sincerity of Northern Mongolia, among the two major sects and the two major aristocratic families, Dangerous Tower, which had the most disgraceful statement, performed the most mediocrely. As an organization composed of killers, Dangerous Tower has always been the most difficult to contact among all sects.

The attitude of Jian Zong and Yao Family of Yucheng was rather ambiguous. They neither agreed nor refused and continued to wait and see.

Only the Wang family in the east directly agreed to Fan Lingyue's conditions.

The Wang family is a large family that has existed for more than a thousand years, which means that the Wang family existed before Great Xia existed.

Thousands of years have passed, and few people in the world know that Wang Family of Donglin was the first family of the Hexi Dynasty in the past, just like Changsun Lineage today.

Wang Family of Donglin is loyal to the Hexi Dynasty, at least it was so a thousand years ago.

Duke Xiyu is one of the descendants of Wang Family of Donglin, and he has never forgotten his ancestral precepts of helping Hexi Imperial Family regain his country.

Su Feiyan is the princess of the Hexi Dynasty. After escaping from the imperial city that night, she took temporary refuge in the Wang family.

However, after Duke Xiyu died, the Wang family's attitude towards Su Feiyan became subtle. After all, no one in this world is willing to make wedding clothes for others in vain.

Su Feiyan saw it in his eyes, but he still remained calm on weekdays and was not affected at all.

Human nature is what it is, and there is no need to worry about these people.

If there is hatred, then the only person she hates is Great Xia's Marquis of Knowing Fate. This hatred and this hatred are irreconcilable.

In Huayuan, Peony Pavilion, Su Feiyan looked at Spring Thunder Zither on the stone table in front of him, his mind drifting away slightly.

"Princess, how have you considered the marriage?" At some point, an elder from the Wang family came over and said with a smile.

The smile is gentle and looks extremely charitable. However, behind the smile, there is a real coldness, and there is a knife hidden in the smile.

Su Feiyan smiled lightly and said, "Elder Yi, the Wang family is not afraid that I will take revenge on the Wang family after I become Beimeng Empress."

"Princess is joking, the Wang family needs the help of Northern Mongol Royal Court to continue to grow, and the princess also needs the support of the Wang family. This is a matter of mutual benefit and symbiosis. With the wisdom of the princess, how can she refuse?" Elder Yi said softly.

"Elder Yi is such a good lobbyist, I agree," Su Feiyan said slowly.

"Princess Akechi" Elder Yi bowed respectfully and immediately withdrew.

Su Feiyan stood up and looked at the beautiful scenery around the Peony Pavilion, sighing in her heart. Perhaps this was the last time she would appreciate the scenery of Central Plains. In the future, she would face endless grasslands and deserts.

She had to endure the hatred in her heart. The emperor of Northern Mongolia was only eight years old. She had plenty of time to prepare. She had failed once and would never allow it to happen a second time.
