Although Mei You and his three companions claimed they were going to infiltrate the city, they only knew how to enter, not how to infiltrate. They didn't even change their clothes or put on makeup, thinking that by acting timidly, they could disguise themselves as ordinary people.

But ordinary people couldn't afford to wear Brocade Silk.

It can only be said that the class gap is too large, which has led to a difference in their perception of society.

In their eyes, no matter how poor a person is, they should at least be able to afford silk, right? I didn't even wear my Magic Robe when I came out!

Naturally, they were noticed as soon as they approached the city gate.

The Great Peace Way army has no shortage of high-level Body Refinement Realm cultivators, and they naturally know that Body Refinement Realm cultivators can sense sight, so they have special techniques for tracking them.

By wearing special glasses, one can observe through the reflection in the glasses.

They constantly rotate the personnel to avoid having the same person appear behind them for extended periods.

Or, to be more open and aboveboard, six or seven old ladies would lean against the wall, looking at the four of them with undisguised eyes, and then discussing loudly with undisguised tone.

These old women clearly had no cultivation whatsoever, but for Mei You didn't dare to even glance at them, and could only lead her teammates in a disheveled escape.

"Hey, kid!" Team member Xiao Luo casually grabbed a child playing by the roadside with his sword sheath and asked, "Do you know where Zhang Jiao lives?"

"Bad guy!" The child spat out a mouthful of saliva, but Xiao Luo quickly sheathed his sword, thus avoiding being sprayed.

But coming from the Aristocratic Clan, he had never suffered such an insult before, and immediately drew his sword.

"Xiao Luo!" Mei You hurriedly tried to stop him, but they were just teammates, not superiors and subordinates, so he couldn't control Xiao Luo's actions.

A flash of cold light appeared, and a line of blood appeared on Xiao Luo's throat. Xiao Luo stared blankly at the pretty girl who had suddenly appeared in front of him. "What kind of Swordsmanship is this?"

"Swordsmanship? I don't know how!!" The girl, with her hair in two topknots and looking quite young, pulled the child behind her and said casually, "I'm just practicing for fun!"

"How... how is this possible!" Xiao Luo clutched her neck and collapsed.

Mei You and the other two immediately drew their weapons and looked at the woman warily.

They also knew about Xiao Luo's cultivation level: the Ninth Level of Body Refinement, the Five Senses Realm, with all five senses being interconnected and the mind being sharp.

People at this level are already very difficult to be ambushed, but not only did Xiao Luo not react to that sword strike, but the three of them did not react either!

And

The three noticed that what the girl was holding was not a sword at all!

It's just a bamboo cane!

"Who are you?" Mei You asked instinctively. "Are you here to kill Zhang Jiao too? Then you can have this mission!"

He had assumed that the girl, like him, came from the Taiheng Sect.

The girl smiled and shook her head, "I originally planned to wait until tonight when you guys made your move, but I didn't expect that people like you have no morals and no bottom line. If I let you live for even a minute longer, you might do something horrific!"

"You're from the Great Peace Way!" Mei You suddenly realized, and at the same time, her hand instantly reached for her Storage Bag.

However, in that brief instant, a cold glint had already pierced through three times!

Mei You felt a chill in his throat, and then an endless sharp aura spread from his throat to his whole body, extinguishing all his life force in an instant!

At that moment, he understood why Xiao Luo had died so decisively!

This is hardly the swordsmanship of the Body Refinement Realm. How could a cultivator in the Body Refinement Realm possibly utilize the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi?

"Qi Refining Stage!"

Mei You's eyes widened. How could Southern Forest have Qi Refining cultivator?

"Qi Refining Stage? I'm not at that stage yet!" The girl shook her head, then summoned a squad of soldiers.

"Greetings Moon Maiden!" The soldiers looked at the young woman before them with a mixture of respect and affection.

"Okay, let's get ready!" The girl waved her hand, then shouldered her bamboo pole, turned around, and transformed from a decisive female warrior into an ordinary shepherdess.

"Hmm?" The girl suddenly noticed something, looked up to the side, and saw a dark shadow flash by.

Shrugging, since he has no intention of killing, let him be!

"How can this woman be so powerful? I actually feel uneasy when I see her?" Behind the high wall, a middle-aged man with Sharp Brother hair, carrying a wooden sword, looked bewildered.

Beside him followed a large eagle, which was also clutching its chest with its wing, looking as if it had just been frightened.

Beside the eagle followed a simple-looking young man. The young man was plain-looking but strong and muscular. Upon hearing this, he replied, "I've heard that during the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a shepherdess in the Yue Kingdom who learned Swordsmanship from White Ape. Later, the King of Yue invited her to the palace to teach swordsmanship to the armored soldiers. Three Thousand Yue Warriors could conquer Wu, but they couldn't even capture a single Moon Maiden. Could she be that woman?"

He had a master named Han Xiaoying, who used the Moon Maiden Sword Technique. The young man naturally knew it too, but the Moon Maiden Sword Technique he knew was completely different from the one that woman used!

"If it's her, then it makes sense! How can a human compare to a fairy?" Sharp Brother nodded. "It's just a pity we weren't born in the same era, otherwise she might have been able to defeat me!"

"Aren't we living in the same era now?" the young man said.

"Huh!" Sharp Brother paused, then realized, "Oh right!"

But

He knew from that fleeting glance that he was no match for him!

He had only reached the fourth level of swordsmanship, a level where he had no sword in his hand but a sword in his heart, and where grass, trees, bamboo, and stones could all be swords.

The Moon Maiden's realm, however, is one where there is no sword in her hand, nor in her heart, to the point that she can transform the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi into her own.

This is already at the Heavenly Sword Realm; how can human strength contend with the forces of heaven and earth?

However, he had previously relied on his own exploration in his cultivation, but Moon Maiden showed him the path ahead!

Given time, I'll catch up quickly!

"Marshal Yue sent us to support Master Zhang, but now it seems that the Master may not need our support!" Sharp Brother said.

"Let's wait and see, just in case!" the young man said. "This is only the beginning. There will be more and more enemies later on. After all, Moon Maiden is only one person. How many can she kill?"

Sharp Brother nodded and said, "I'm no match for her, but I'm still interested in those Taiheng Sect disciples. They're Outer Disciple trained by the number one sect in the world. It would be a waste of my trip if I didn't fight them!"

Thinking of this, Sharp Brother clasped his hands together and sincerely prayed, "Thank Heaven for giving Dugu Qiubai another chance. I will certainly not fail the Heavenly Venerable's wishes. Good, good."

The young man sighed, realizing that when Sharp Brother claimed to be the Sword Demon, nobody believed him.

Who would have thought that the big shot who lamented having no rivals in the world and could only keep company with eagles would actually be such a goofball!

However, it's understandable. After spending so much time with the eagle without anyone to talk to, it's normal to talk more when you suddenly have someone to communicate with.

As the young man was thinking this, he suddenly sensed a gaze not far away.

He looked up and saw a handsome young man dressed in white with flowing black hair, holding a sword in his arms. Beside him stood a beautiful young woman in red, holding a child, with big eyes, thin lips, a slender waist, long legs, and graceful figure.

They actually came too.

It seems that Heavenly Emperor City will soon be a place where great events will unfold!

"Swordsman!" Sharp Brother immediately perked up. "I am the Sword Demon Dugu Qiubai, may I ask who you are?"

"Ximen Chuixue!"

The young man was taken aback, then quickly whispered to the bewildered Sharp Brother, "It's a character from Gu Long's novels, who's known for blowing not snow, but blood; he's called the Sword God in the martial arts world!"

"Those must be our own people!" Dugu Qiubai was immediately somewhat dejected, after all, the mission was more important now, and it was clearly not the time for a competition.

Across from them, Sun Xiuqing was also explaining things to Ximen Chuixue.

"These two are from Jin Yong's novels. The one standing with the eagle should be the Sword Demon Dugu Qiubai, and the honest-looking young man is Guo Jing, the great hero who served his country and people. The fact that they are standing together suggests that they are in the same faction, but it shouldn't be the Great Song."

After all, people of that era might not have been able to appreciate Da Song's style, but if you step back from the long river of history, there are very few people who could resist spitting at him.

Those who accepted Yang Ning's invitation to enter the Spirit Realm, even if they hadn't read their own history or background, would still have interacted with others in the virtual communication space that Yang Ning created.

Since Yang Ning didn't say anything about keeping it a secret, the people from the modern era naturally revealed the identities of the ancient people or characters from novels.

As for whether this world is real or not, and what the existence of anyone really means.

No one explained, and Yang Ning was too lazy to explain. "You can fill in the blanks yourself if you want; accept it if you want, and forget about it if you don't."

Some people have suspected that the world is fake, and that they may just be an avatar of some powerful being. Some have even started to experiment with it. However, the idea that tens of thousands of worlds and trillions of people are all avatars of some big shot is too far-fetched, and no one dares to think about it any further.

They prefer to believe in parallel universes, that countless worlds truly exist.

Once he transcends the constraints of history, whether Guo Jing would still be willing to serve the Great Song is uncertain. Perhaps he would prefer to raise the banner of rebellion and rebuild the Great Han.

But seeing him walking with the Sword Demon, their status is still equal, which means that Guo Jing himself did not raise his own banner, and there must be someone above them!

Sun Xiuqing offered her analysis, but Ximen Chuixue was too lazy to listen and went straight up to ask, "Whose side are you with?"

"We two will temporarily serve under Marshal Yue!" Guo Jing cupped his hands and said, "Brother Chuixue, you should also know Marshal Yue, right?"

"Is it Yue Fei, Yue Wumu?" Sun Xiuqing asked from the side.

After all, there aren't many marshals with the surname Yue.

"Exactly!" Guo Jing nodded.

Sun Xiuqing was immediately tempted; after all, that was Yue Fei!

Even chivalrous figures like them would be bewildered upon hearing the name of Yue Fei!

However, she still looked at Ximen Chuixue; it was always the man who decided who the two of them would choose.

"I am merely a wanderer of the martial world, accustomed to a carefree life. I need not follow Commander Yue. However, if you encounter any difficulties, I will certainly not stand idly by!" Xi Mei Chuixue did not agree. He was a swordsman who pursued speed and strength, unlike Sun Xiuqing who sought stability.

"Alright!" Guo Jing nodded, not insisting.

Their force was actually quite strong, after all, Yue Fei's fame was so great that most chivalrous people in the Jianghu after the Song Dynasty would choose to follow him if given the opportunity.

Those who didn't follow might have encountered Guan Yu.

There is no shortage of generals under Yue Shuai, nor is there any shortage of Jianghu people. In fact, there is even more shortage of literati. However, literati prefer to follow civil servants, so the recruitment has not been very successful.

It is said that after the establishment of the Great Ming Kingdom, a large number of "university students" will join as civil servants, and then there will be no need for scholars. I don't know if this is true.

"Someone's coming!" the Sword Demon suddenly exclaimed.

The four looked in the direction of the sound and indeed saw a group of six people, dressed in fine clothes and riding spirited horses, their expressions unrestrained and arrogant. There were no more arrogant people on the entire street than them.

Another wave of the Taiheng Sect disciples has arrived!

"It seems Moon Maiden isn't here. Shall we go, or shall we?" Dugu Qiubai asked.

"Three opponents each!" Six opponents of the same realm, all from super sects with extraordinary lineages, but the two regarded them as mere chickens and dogs.

After all, one side was Taiheng Sect of his ancestors.

One side is a prodigy who, through personal struggle, has made his surname a surname reserved for experts, a protagonist of destiny.

The latter's use of both hands reflects a lack of confidence in their own abilities!

The two exchanged a glance, and then, as if someone had shouted "3, 2, 1," they stood up simultaneously, only to abruptly fall back down.

But then they saw a young man wearing strange-style armor, with disheveled hair, a cold and arrogant expression, and bloodshot eyes with tadpole-like spots, standing arrogantly in the middle of the road, blocking the six people's way.

"Who are you to dare block our way!" a Taiheng disciple shouted irritably. Don't be fooled by their status as outer disciples; they may be as docile as quails in the school, but when they're out in the countryside, they're like Celestial Dragons on a whim.

If it weren't for the fact that the person blocking his way looked like a master, he would have already grabbed his whip.

"Uchiha Madara!" The young man's eyes spun with tomoe. With Yang Ning's abilities, Susanoo. However, Mangekyo Technique was somewhat similar to Innate Divine Ability, and he was truly helpless against it.

Therefore, this Madara is only in his three-tomoe form and has no Chakra within him, only Qi and Blood field.

But for Madara, that's enough!

He was a genius in the Chakra system, and he became a genius in martial arts as well!

This is the favoritism of the Creator, Imperial Heaven, Queen Earth!

"Do you also want to dance?"
