The Jianghu Gathering was about to begin, and heroes from across the land converged on Fuzhou!
As the Jianghu Gathering draws near, Fuzhou City is becoming increasingly lively.
Tomorrow is the day of the Jianghu Gathering. Ling Yi has made all the necessary preparations. All he needs to do is distribute the prepared "Cultivation Techniques" according to plan and then show everyone the " Immortal Realm."
For now, let's just lie down.
After all this busy work, Ling Yi felt that lying down was the most comfortable thing to do compared to causing trouble.
Goodness, once you get busy, there's a whole bunch of messy things to deal with.
Just as Ling Yi lay down on the recliner, ready to enjoy a short nap, Old Yue rushed in.
"What happened now? If you send any more shady characters to visit, I'll turn you into a woman and sell you to the Mellow Fragrance Pavilion."
"Ahem, young master, is it possible to turn a man into a woman?" Old Yue asked curiously.
You really want to become a woman? It's because you haven't mastered the Bixie Sword Manual; you're not Perfection without mastering it, are you?
"Want to give it a try?" Ling Yi chuckled.
"No, I was just curious, just asking, just asking."
"Tell me, what exactly happened?"
" The Songming dynasties have assembled an army of 300,000 and are heading towards Fuzhou City. The Fuzhou City is in a state of panic; many say the court is after the young master."
What do you think the imperial court's purpose is?
Old Yue thought for a moment and said, "Their target is the young master, but they might be targeting people from the Jianghu."
"Go on!"
"They dare not attack you, young master; they are more interested in cooperating with you. Therefore, they might impose martial law on Fuzhou City, strictly prohibiting Jianghu practitioners from entering."
"In this way, your Jianghu Gathering cannot be held, and naturally you will be unable to pass on your skills."
"Aren't they afraid of offending the entire Jianghu by doing this?"
"If they can cooperate with you, young master, they will naturally have no fear of the forces of the Jianghu."
Ling Yi had a bit of a headache, so he simply threw the "immortal cultivation techniques" he had compiled to Old Yue.
"You 'Jianghu Gathering gathering tomorrow. I don't care what methods you use, the Jianghu Gathering proceed as planned, and this martial arts technique must be disseminated."
"And what about you, young master?"
Ling Yi lay down on the recliner, closed his eyes, and said, "I'm going to sleep!"
"No, I don't have enough prestige. They're all coming for you, young master. I'm afraid I won't be able to keep them in check."
"That's your problem!" Ling Yi retorted unreasonably.
"Hmm, your Grandmaster level strength is indeed insufficient, and there's also that Old Liu secretly plotting something. Although he's only a pseudo- Immortal Realm, he's still not someone you can handle."
As Ling Yi spoke, he rummaged through the system's inventory for a while, then tossed Yue San.
"You've taken the pills, and the Flying Sword and Mystic Armor Shield have been bound to you with your blood. Hmm, that should be enough to solve any trouble you may have."
Old Yue instantly felt more confident. Did Old Yue not want to be in the limelight? Of course he did, but he wasn't sure he could pull it off.
Do you really think that there's only one Xiongba in Central Province? His strength as Grandmaster is clearly not enough.
Putting aside everything else, he couldn't handle that Wuming in Central Province; that guy alone, with just a sword, had slaughtered hundreds of thousands of soldiers.
Although Yue Buqun was also Grandmaster, he did not believe that he had the ability to fight against an army of hundreds of thousands of men single-handedly.
The crucial point is that there are "immortals" in Central Province. If one of them were to appear, could he handle it?
"Is this enough?" Old Yue asked cautiously as he took the things Ling Yi gave him.
"Enough!" Ling Yi said with a dark face. This guy was never satisfied.
"Young master, look, how about we play it safe? You know, I'm representing your reputation right now, so we have to make sure it's handled smoothly, right?"
"You rascal, when did you become so cowardly? Here you go!" Ling Yi was both amused and exasperated. He casually pointed in the air, and a dark cloud appeared in front of Old Yue.
Flying Nimbus, Black Version!
"Boss, what's this? Why does it feel a bit shady?" Yue Buqun poked at the Flying Nimbus; it was soft and fluffy, and felt pretty good to the touch.
"You can't use the proper thing anyway, just sit on it!" Ling Yi rolled his eyes.
This Old Yue is hardly a good person; he turned quite evil in the original story, so Bai Se's Flying Nimbus is definitely out of the question.
So all we can do is give him the Blackboard Flying Nimbus.
Let alone Old Yue, I reckon everyone in the courtyard would be unable to properly ride the Somersault Flying Nimbus.
Old Yue rode away happily on his Flying Nimbus. As for what he would do next, Ling Yi could probably guess.
To be fair, Old Yue is quite reliable. He's now the head housekeeper of the courtyard and also a news anchor, provided he doesn't turn evil.
Old Yue simply rode his Flying Nimbus around Fuzhou City, his purpose being to show off and flaunt his achievements.
Subsequently, a sign was erected directly on the main pipeline Fuzhou City.
The rules for this Jianghu Gathering are listed above.
The general idea is that during the Jianghu Gathering, the imperial army is not allowed to enter Fuzhou City, and fighting is prohibited within the Fuzhou City limits; otherwise, death will be the penalty.
To have Intimidation effect, Old Yue directly revealed his Flying Sword. The Flying Sword circled Fuzhou City once, and everyone behaved themselves.
However, after pausing for two Shichen, the imperial army still chose to advance towards Fuzhou City.
Ling Yi's existence has already affected the court's rule, and they must now demonstrate their stance.
The commander-in-chief leading this team was Zhu Wushi, the master of the Dragon Guarding Manor, with Cao Zhengchun and Zhuge Zhengwo as his deputies.
Zhu Wushi did not want to be the commander-in-chief. There were already three Grandmaster in Immortal Ascension Residence, not counting the owner of Immortal Ascension Residence, Ling Yi.
Despite their large army of 300,000, they are completely helpless against Grandmaster.
If Master could still fight back with their numerical advantage, now, it's hopeless.
Putting everything else aside, Yue Buqun can now fly on clouds, Jian Yi, no one can get close within several miles.
What if they just stand in the air? How are we supposed to fight them?
Zhu Wushi understood that he was actually being used as a scapegoat by the emperor, so that all the blame would be shifted onto him and the court would be the good guys.
Cao Zhengchun shared the same idea, but Zhuge Zhengwo appeared ready to die for his cause.
In the same state as Zhuge Zhengwo, there are also Iron Hand, Emotionless, and Life Chaser Ming.
Coldblood died at the hands of Yue Buqun, and they wanted to avenge Coldblood. Whether they could avenge him or not was not important; revenge was the most important thing.
Not only them, Cheng Shifei Duan Tianya, Shangguan Haitang from the Dragon Guarding Manor were in the same boat.
Upon hearing this, Cao Zhengchun and Zhu Wushi exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with nothing but helplessness.
As darkness approached, everyone finally saw the sign that Yue Buqun had erected.
Zhu Wushi sighed. Although he already knew the contents of the sign, he still felt a little uncomfortable.
"What are your thoughts?" Zhu Wushi asked, glancing at Cao Zhengchun and the others.
Cao Zhengchun remained silent. His opinion? He had none, and yet he had none. Since Zhu Wushi was the scapegoat, he only needed to remain invisible.
Zhu Wushi didn't expect anything from this Old Liu and turned to look at Zhuge Zhengwo.
After a moment of contemplation Zhuge Zhengwo said, "Let the army stay outside. Creating unnecessary bloodshed is pointless. We can go in."
Zhu Wushi nodded, glanced at him with the same look he would give the four of them, and casually Daodao, "In that case, Brother Zhuge, you should go into Fuzhou City first, and then we can coordinate an attack from within and without."
Zhuge Zhengwo hands in a fist salute, then turned to Emotionless and the Human Dao and said, "You all wait here for my news. Under no circumstances should you act on your own."
"My lord, there is absolutely no way you would abandon us," Emotionless said coldly.
"With the Heavenly Dipper Five Thunders and my own strength, I should be able to protect myself. Just wait for my news."
"My lord!"
"Alright, that's settled!" Zhuge Zhengwo shook his head and turned to head towards Fuzhou City.
What is Heavenly Dipper Five Thunders? It's a type of firearm, somewhat like a shotgun, but it doesn't fire bullets; instead, it fires crossbow bolts mixed with iron shot.
It was filled with gunpowder, and once fired, the crossbow bolt would burst out along with iron pellets, with extremely high destructive power. At short distances, if it was aimed at, it would be quite powerful.
However, this device can only be fired once, and the distance must be within fifty meters. If it exceeds fifty meters, not only will the accuracy be severely off, but the power will also decrease significantly.
"Master, are we just going to wait like this?" Cheng Shifei leaned closer and asked Zhu Wushi.
" Jianghu Gathering starts tomorrow," Zhu Wushi said, rolling his eyes at him.
"The army shall retreat five li and set up camp!"
The arrival of the Songming's army was noticed by many, and seeing that they indeed dared not enter Fuzhou City, these Jianghu practitioners breathed a sigh of relief.
The next day arrived in the blink of an eye.
Everyone in the Jianghu world is eagerly anticipating the event, completely unaware of how the Jianghu Gathering commence.
They saw neither a fighting ring nor were told its exact location, leaving many people puzzled.
There was still no movement even when the sun was high in the sky.
"Could it be that it's going to close down?" someone said.
"Hmph, what a show-off! There are no immortals in this world, let alone Longevity."
The speaker was an old man in Black Robe, holding a snake-headed staff, with a disdainful expression.
"It's Ouyang Feng, the Western Venom. So the Western Venom has come too."
"Not only Western Venom, Eastern Heretic, Northern Beggar, and Middle Urchin have all come."
As for the Southern Emperor, no one mentioned him, because he had already Yaoyue.
"Who's that beautiful woman over there? She's so gorgeous!"
"Keep your voice down, that's Dongfang Bubai, the leader of the Sun Moon Holy Cult. If you want to die, don't drag us down with you."
"What's there to be afraid of? Fighting is strictly prohibited in Fuzhou City now. Yesterday, Sect Leader Yue killed dozens of people. Does Dongfang Bubai dare to make a move?"
Some people Taunt, "They don't dare to take action now; they'll settle scores later."
The person who had spoken earlier shuddered, his face turned pale, and he lowered his head, not daring to say another word.
"So that's the leader of the Sun Moon Sect, which separated from my Ming Cult?" On the roof of an inn, a simple-looking young man in white looked in the direction of Dongfang Bubai and said.
This person was none other than Zhang Wuji had become the leader of the Ming Cult.
"Yes, Master!" Yang Xiao replied.
However, his expression was clearly not good, as were the White-Browed Eagle King and the others.
Among the dozens of people killed by Yue Buqun yesterday was Wei Yixiao, the Green-Winged Bat King.
Yesterday, as soon as Wei Yixiao entered the city, he happened to see a group of people from the Emei Sect. The Ming Cult members all harbored extreme hatred for Abbess Miejue of the Emei Sect.
During the battle at Bright Peak, the most members of the Demonic Cult Miejue the Extinction Sect. Therefore, Wei Yixiao, with his Qinggong, directly captured a disciple of the Emei Sect.
And then, that was it. A Flying Sword flew in from the horizon and took Wei Yixiao away.
