Since Ling Yi's sudden emergence, countless forces in the Jianghu have been stirred up.
Especially with the help of some people with ulterior motives, Ling Yi, although a newcomer to the Jianghu, has become a household name.
Ling Yi's reputation has even spread to other dynasties and martial Jianghu.
It is located at the border between the Southern Song and the Great Ming.
A caravan was Rapid Speed along, and on the lead carriage, a handsome man in a blue robe was standing at the front, gazing up at the sky.
The man appeared to be around thirty years old, with thick eyebrows, almond-shaped eyes, thin lips, and a hooked nose.
This person had a handsome face, but his expression was slightly gloomy.
Inside the car were three beautiful women.
The three women, one of whom was dressed in a green dress, had the image of a delicate and refined young lady from Jiangnan.
A girl in a blue dress, with Spiritual Animation eyes, looked quite Gu Ling.
The woman in white in the middle was the most beautiful, looking ethereal and otherworldly, like a fairy untouched by worldly concerns.
The woman gazed at the man in the blue robe ahead, a faint smile on her face, her eyes sparkling with tenderness.
"I wonder what brings you to the Great Ming, Great Ming master. It's said that even the Innate is rare in the Ming martial arts Jianghu, making it far weaker than the Jianghu of my Southern Song Dynasty," said the woman in the blue dress.
" A Zhu, don't speak nonsense. Young Master has his reasons. Besides, we're already in the territory of the Great Ming. If someone hears this, it might cause trouble for him," the woman in the blue dress warned.
"Sister A Bi, what are you afraid of? Young Master's martial arts are unparalleled; how many in the Great Ming's Jianghu arts world can withstand him?"
"Since the young master has come to the Great Ming, he must have important matters to attend to. What will happen if you interfere and ruin his plans?"
"I know, I'm not stupid. There's no one around. If I saw outsiders, I naturally wouldn't say anything," the woman called A Zhu said, waving her hand.
Just then, the sound of horses' hooves came from afar.
An elderly man in a gray long robe quickly approached the convoy.
Then the horse turned around and rode alongside the carriage.
"Young master, the Great Ming Jianghu is indeed in chaos, and the imperial court has been taken over by the Tianxia Society. This is a golden opportunity to make our plans," the old man said excitedly.
"Is there any news about Ling Yi?" the young man in the blue robe asked.
"Young Master, the news about Ling Yi is true. He can indeed Summon assassins and perform Teleportation. Latest news is that Ling Yi also possesses the ability to Universe in the Sleeve."
The young man in the blue robe narrowed his phoenix eyes slightly and murmured, "Is it really true?"
"Yes, it is said that Ling Yi has at least the Battle Power of Grandmaster. Bu Jingyun, the Yun Hall of the Tianxia Society, has the cultivation of Late Master, but he was powerless against Ling Yi."
" Ling Yi has already headed south. According to sources, his destination is the Ten-Thousand-Year Ice Silkworm Cave in the Mount Wuliang Poison Valley in the Dali Kingdom."
"Many Great Ming forces in the Jianghu are now following suit, probably all scheming to seize the opportunity on Ling Yi."
After pondering for a moment, the young man in the blue robe said, "Then let's go and join in the fun. If Ling Yi is really that powerful, we'll recruit him to our cause and help us succeed."
"Yes, young master!"
The convoy immediately changed direction, from north to south.
They quickly disappeared onto the official road.
Outside Seong-kyeong City, there is a manor that covers a vast area and, from a distance, resembles a small city.
Inside the manor, guards clad in armor and weapons patrolled back and forth, while servants bustled Haste.
In a pavilion, a middle-aged man dressed in an embroidered python robe was sitting at a stone table drinking tea.
This person exuded the aura of someone in a superior position; an ordinary person would likely be Intimidation by this aura at first glance.
He was none other than Zhu Wushi, the Iron Courage Divine Marquis of the Great Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Wushi the person opposite him, Zhuge Zhengwo, who had just returned to Seong-kyeong.
"Divine Marquis, if what you say is true, then Ling Yi is probably already invincible?" Zhu Wushi said disdainfully.
"Whether he's invincible is unknown, but at least, Grandmaster would have difficulty harming him," Zhuge Zhengwo, shaking his head.
"I've received news that Qin Shuang Tianxia Society, the Heavenly Frost Hall; Nie Feng, the Feng Hall; and Bu Jingyun, the Yun Hall, have all left Seong-kyeong and headed south."
"Hehe, isn't that perfect? We should be open-minded. Between Xiongba and Ling Yi, who is more powerful?" Zhu Wushi laughed.
The fact that the Tianxia Society clashed with Ling Yi was a result of Zhu Wushi's scheme.
Ling Yi is mysterious, Xiongba is powerful. Whether it is life or death for either of them, it will be a good thing for the Great Ming Dynasty.
"Your Highness, we should also prepare early. If Ling Yi wins, we Tianxia Society with a Thunder strike."
Do you think Ling Yi will be the ultimate winner?
"Hmm, I can't see through him." Zhuge Zhengwo nodded.
"Heh, whether they win or lose isn't up to them to decide," Zhu Wushi sneered.
Upon hearing this, Zhuge Zhengwo was taken aback and asked, "Does Your Highness already have arrangements?"
Zhu Wushi shook his head, clasped his hands in a fist salute towards Seong-kyeong, Fist Dao, "His Majesty had made arrangements long ago."
" Cao Zhengchun of the Eastern Depot, Yu Huatian of the Western Depot, tens of thousands of Brocade Guard, plus the Mystic Guard Department, have all marched south."
"Unless they are not Land Immortal, then Ling Yi and Xiongba are both losers."
Zhuge Zhengwo, however, had a furrowed brow.
Does this mean that the defenses of Seong-kyeong are now completely depleted, and there's no one left to rely on by the emperor's side?
If someone plots against this, it could be a disaster.
He glanced at Zhu Wushi, clasped his hands in Fist Dao, "It's good that His Majesty and the Prince have made arrangements. Then, Your Highness, I shall take my leave."
"Hmm!" Zhu Wushi nodded and said no more.
After Zhuge Zhengwo left, Zhu Wushi looked towards Seong-kyeong again. " An Family, the road has been paved for you. You must not disappoint this prince."
After leaving the Dragon Guarding Manor, Zhuge Zhengwo's expression immediately turned grim.
He had a feeling that a storm was brewing.
Zhuge Zhengwo had some guesses about what Zhu Wushi was plotting.
The defenses of Seong-kyeong are now weak, especially around the emperor, where there are almost no capable men left.
Besides, there was the Grand Eunuch Wei Zhongxian.
Zhuge Zhengwo also very clear about who Wei Zhongxian was.
What truly worried Zhuge Zhengwo was the person behind Wei Zhongxian.
Previously, due to the counterfeit currency case, he had already uncovered some information, revealing that Wei Zhongxian was nothing more than someone else's puppet.
However, the identity of the person behind him remains a mystery, as the investigation has been delayed due to Ling Yi's situation.
After a moment's hesitation, Zhuge Zhengwo prepared to make a trip to the Six Fan School.
The only usable forces guarding Seong-kyeong now are the few members of his Divine Constabulary and the Six Fan School.
However, over the years, the Six Fan School have been severely suppressed by the Eastern Depot, Western Depot, and Embroidered Brocade Guard, and now both its prestige and strength have been greatly diminished.
"I hope that our Great Ming Dynasty can weather this great calamity!" Zhuge Zhengwo sighed.
All he can do now is try his best and leave the rest to fate.
Being a constable in the Six Fan School isn't easy, and neither is being in the Divine Constabulary.
Both Cao Zhengchun and Yu Huatian acted too domineeringly.
Moreover, with the emperor's favor and support, he was utterly Wuji!
Especially the rising Yu Huatian, who was even more ruthless than Cao Zhengchun, with a single sentence of imperial permission, he acted first and reported later, stirring up countless Fengyun in Seong-kyeong.
In a valley less than 300 miles from the Dali Kingdom, Ling Yi's carriage was surrounded by nearly a thousand Jianghu practitioners.
Ling Yi and his three companions stood on the roof of the car, looking at the dense crowd around them, but their faces showed no worry whatsoever.
" Ling Yi, hand over the Immortal Treasure, or you will all die today!" A short, thin old man jumped out and shouted.
"Yes, hand over the Immortal Treasure!"
The surrounding people joined in the shouting, and the scene instantly became incredibly noisy.
"Well, here comes another fabricated Immortal Treasure!" Ling Yi curled his lip.
The journey so far has been smooth sailing for the past ten days or so. I thought those people behind the scenes would cause trouble after I entered the ice cave!
I didn't expect them to start causing trouble before we even arrived in Dali.
"This must be a tactic employed by the Great Ming Dynasty court, just like the Heavenly Sword and the Dragon-Slaying Saber," Yaoyue said slowly.
"The imperial court wants to use you to Weaken the power of the Great Ming's Jianghu, and also to pit you against the Tianxia Society, ideally resulting in mutual destruction, so that the imperial court can then clean up the mess!"
"In this way, not only can the hidden dangers of the Great Ming's martial Jianghu world be resolved, but the Tianxia Society can also be eliminated."
"After today's battle, you, Ling Yi, will truly become famous throughout the world."
Ling Yi sneered, "Looks like a lot of people are going to die today!"
"Do you need my help?"
"You just protect the carriage; leave the rest to me!"
With that, Ling Yi waved his hand, and countless assassins appeared out of thin air. Ling Yi pointed around and said, "Kill!"
Whether these people acted out of greed or were coerced, it doesn't matter.
Since we're here, we must be prepared to die.
Only by slaughtering everyone in the Jianghu, making the imperial court tremble, and ensuring that every enemy who is killed shudders at the mere mention of their name, can one eliminate future troubles and prevent future problems.
This time, Ling Yi didn't plan to unleash a massive attack immediately upon arrival; instead, he ordered his assassins to start killing right away.
Although the assassins were all at the Body Refining Pinnacle, they cultivated the Sunflower Codex, and their Combat was comparable to that of Acquired Martial Practitioner.
The key point is that he can Summon an endless number of assassins, but these people only have one life.
Without uttering a word, the assassin charged straight into the crowd.
The Combat commenced instantly.
Screams, shouts, yells, and the clash of weapons suddenly filled the air.
Most of these Jianghu practitioners are Acquired Martial Practitioner, since it would be useless for Body Refining Martial Practitioner to come.
The suicide squad suffered heavy losses from the very start of the Combat.
Basically, it takes three or four dead soldiers to replace a Jianghu guest.
Among them were many Innate masters, whose casual strikes could cause casualties among the assassins.
"Haha, these assassins are nothing special. Brothers, kill them!"
Seeing how easily the assassins were defeated, these Jianghu practitioners' confidence soared.
"Let them kill!" Ling Yi said calmly.
As time went on, these Jianghu swordsmen gradually realized that something was amiss.
These assassins are impossible to kill completely, no matter how hard you try.
You've just killed one assassin in front of you, and another one will take its place.
Gradually, some people began to run out of energy and their Internal Energy was exhausted, and the number of dead and wounded among the Jianghu practitioners began to increase.
However, by the time some people realized something was wrong and tried to evacuate, their path was blocked by countless assassins.
