In the central military tent.
Yan Chuan called Mr. Wen Ruo, Mo Yuxi, and Yang Zhijiu. Huo Guang stood to one side.
"What? Do you have a way to snatch the Wondrous Demon Lotus?" Yang Zhijiu said impolitely.
Yan Chuan looked at Mr. Wen Ruo and said, "Looking at Mr. Wen Ruo's confident expression and having everything under control, you must have thought of it too, right?"
"It was thought of by me and Saintess Yu Xi together! We were just about to come find you!" Mr. Wen Ruo immediately said politely.
"I am not familiar with the feng shui formation. It was mainly Mr. Wen Ruo who thought of a method!" Mo Yuxi also said politely.
"What? You all have a way? What way?" Yang Zhijiu was immediately speechless.
"Merge with the feng shui formation, draw in the qi of the dragon veins inside, and take the Wondrous Demon Lotus!" Mr. Wen Ruo said.
"Merge? How to merge?" Yang Zhijiu asked in confusion.
"This feng shui formation uses the power of the stars to strengthen the suppressing power of the feng shui formation. It also gives us an opportunity. As long as we obtain the will of Po Jun Star and are recognized by the feng shui formation, then we can draw in the internal qi of the dragon veins and take the Wondrous Demon Lotus!" Mr. Wen Ruo affirmed.
"This is possible too?" Yang Zhijiu said in surprise.
"Mr. Wen Ruo? Are you interested in 'Po Jun'?" Yan Chuan smiled.
"I am interested in 'Wenqu'. We are all not interested in 'Po Jun'. What about you, Young Master Yan?" Mr. Wen Ruo asked.
"Me? I don't need it. However, my first legion commander, Huo Guang, can inherit the will of Po Jun. There are still half a month. What do you all think?" Yan Chuan asked.
Beside him, Huo Guang clenched his fist, feeling excited.
"Him? Humph!" Yang Zhijiu looked unhappy.
"Couldn't be better!" Mr. Wen Ruo nodded.
"Huo Guang is currently at the ninth level of the Strength Realm. In the next half month, Miss Mo, as the saintess of the Great Zhao Holy Land, must have abundant resources. Can you push Huo Guang's cultivation level to the tenth level of the Strength Realm in half a month?" Yan Chuan looked at Mo Yuxi.
"Don't worry. It's just raising one level in the Strength Realm. I can handle it!" Mo Yuxi readily agreed.
"Mr. Wen Ruo is extremely knowledgeable. Presumably you know a lot about triggering the 'first-level heavenly thunder tribulation' and also accepting the will of 'Po Jun Star'. Please take care of it!" Yan Chuan looked at Mr. Wen Ruo.
"My pleasure!" Mr. Wen Ruo smiled.
"Since that's the case, let's wait for half a month later!" Yan Chuan said with confidence.
"Um!" Everyone nodded.
After everyone left, only Yang Zhijiu was left in the tent.
"Young Master Yang, I don't know what else you want?"
Yang Zhijiu also looked at Yan Chuan, suppressing his disgust.
"Young Master Yan!" Yang Zhijiu showed an ugly smile and said.
"Young Master Yang, please speak." Yan Chuan smiled.
"Huo Guang is your man. He listens to you. I want to ask you for a favor!" Yang Zhijiu said with a fake smile.
"Oh? Young Master Yang, please speak!"
"I want you to help me obtain the 'Wondrous Demon Lotus'. After obtaining it, there will be a great reward. Even, I can recommend you to my father and let my father take you as an indoor disciple. How about it?" Yang Zhijiu said with a fake smile.
"Hahaha, Young Master Yang is joking. Aren't I helping you all now?" Yan Chuan smiled.
"No, I mean, help me obtain it. Only help me obtain it!" Yang Zhijiu said anxiously.
Yan Chuan looked at Yang Zhijiu, his expression slightly playful.
"At that time, I don't know what the result will be. Young Master Yang, follow closely. There is still a chance to obtain the Wondrous Demon Lotus!" Yan Chuan smiled.
"Good, good, good!" Yang Zhijiu thought Yan Chuan agreed and was immediately overjoyed.
"Young Master Yan!" Suddenly, Mo Yuxi's voice came from outside the tent.
Yang Zhijiu's expression changed and he immediately said, "In that case, I take my leave!"
"Um!" Yan Chuan nodded.
Yang Zhijiu hurriedly went out. Mo Yuxi led Azure Dragon and others and stepped in.
Seeing Yang Zhijiu leave, Mo Yuxi frowned slightly. Looking at Yan Chuan, Mo Yuxi chose not to ask.
"Back?" Yan Chuan looked at Azure Dragon and others.
"Yes. We have probably found out clearly. But it's not clear if there are any hidden experts." Azure Dragon smiled.
"Uniting the heroes. This matter can be left to Mr. Wen Ruo!" Yan Chuan smiled.
"Naturally, we dare not trouble Young Master Yan for this matter. But when I was coming back, I saw people who claimed to be from the Great Yan Kingdom!" Azure Dragon affirmed.
"Oh? People from the Yan Kingdom?" Yan Chuan was slightly surprised.
"It should be. Looking at their appearance, they seem to have a high status in your Yan Kingdom. They are currently confronting the grand elder of the Great Zheng Kingdom with three people who have reached the perfection of the Strength Realm!" Azure Dragon nodded.
"The grand elder of the Zheng Kingdom? Liu Gang? Is he still alive?" Yan Chuan's expression changed slightly.
...
Outside the protective shield of the Heavenly Pool, in a wide valley.
Around the valley, nearly a hundred people were gathered. Judging from their stances, they were obviously not in the same group. It was more like they were watching the excitement.
The hundred people watched and stared at a tense scene in the center.
On one side were two people. One of them was Liu Gang, the grand elder of the Zheng Kingdom. The demonic snake was eaten by Yan Chuan and now he was here.
Liu Gang respectfully bowed to a middle-aged man in a magnificent wide robe. The man had a broad forehead and a domineering air in his eyes.
Opposite the two of them was an extremely noble young man. The young man had a purple long sword on his back. Behind him stood three old men, all glaring angrily at the opposite side.
Liu Gang respectfully said to the middle-aged man beside him, "Lord Muye, he is the crown prince of the Yan Kingdom."
The middle-aged man looked at Liu Gang and showed a faint smile. "Liu Gang, what are you still worried about? Since I have promised to take you as my disciple, I naturally recognize you as my disciple. The royal family of the Zheng Kingdom are my descendants. Since you are wholeheartedly for the Zheng Kingdom, I will naturally help you!"
"Yes. Thank you, Master!" Liu Gang said excitedly.
"In the past, I and Yan Tao agreed that neither of us would interfere in the affairs of the two mortal kingdoms. Since Yan Tao is dead, I cannot go back on my word. I will not interfere. As for you, what you do is up to you!" Lord Muye said faintly.
"Yes! The disciple understands what to do!" Liu Gang understood.
"Um!" Lord Muye nodded.
Liu Gang looked at the four people on the opposite side again, especially the leading young man. The young man was about seventeen or eighteen years old. Similar in age to Yan Chuan but more delicate in appearance. Between his eyebrows, there was a strong heroic air.
"Yan Wudi, do you still count your previous words?" Liu Gang smiled.
Crown Prince Yan Wudi nodded. "I can naturally represent my father and the Great Yan. But what about you? You are only an elder of the Zheng Kingdom!"
"My master, Lord Muye of the Zheng Kingdom. With my master as a witness, I can naturally represent the Great Zheng!" Liu Gang shouted.
Yan Wudi looked at Lord Muye.
"Not bad!" Lord Muye nodded with a smile.
Seeing Lord Muye nod, Yan Wudi immediately took a deep breath and said, "Good. Since that's the case, then let's compare. My duel with you. I bet six cities in the southern border of my Yan Kingdom against six cities in the northern border of your Zheng Kingdom! One battle will determine the winner!"
"Good!" Liu Gang was satisfied.
Lord Muye stood aside and watched indifferently.
"Your Highness?" The three people behind Yan Wudi worried.
"Three elders, don't worry. My master is just exploring the surroundings. He will be back soon. My duel with Liu Gang is fair. Lord Muye will not do anything to me!" Yan Wudi shook his head.
"Alright. Your Highness, be careful!" The three slightly stepped back.
The nearly hundred onlookers around all watched curiously.
Only Yan Wudi and Liu Gang were left in the center.
"Yan Wudi, at the ninth level of the Strength Realm. Please give me your advice!" Yan Wudi gently drew out the purple long sword on his back.
"The ninth level of the Strength Realm? Hehe. Don't talk nonsense. Come on!" Liu Gang touched his bald head and also drew out the iron sword in his hand.
The onlookers around all looked at Yan Wudi with contempt.
"The ninth level of the Strength Realm? This mortal is really ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth. Knowing that Liu Gang is at the tenth level of the Strength Realm, he still dares to challenge?"
"With Lord Muye backing him, this Yan Wudi is definitely going to lose!"
"The Yan Kingdom? It seems that there was Yan Tao sitting in charge before. What a pity..."
...
There were voices of regret all around, but Yan Wudi didn't care.
The breeze blew Yan Wudi's black hair. Yan Wudi opened his narrowed eyes. The long sword in his hand immediately stabbed at Liu Gang.
"Whoosh!"
The purple sword cut through the void and was in front of Liu Gang in an instant.
"Just so so!" Liu Gang said with slight disdain.
A wisp of black qi overflowed from the iron sword. As it was about to collide with the purple sword with a slight turn, at this moment, the purple sword slightly deviated and strangely dodged the iron sword and instantly stabbed at the hilt of Liu Gang's sword.
"Ding!"
Liu Gang's hand went numb and the iron sword almost slipped out of his hand.
"Hmm?" Liu Gang's expression changed.
"Ding!"
"Ding!"
"Ding!"
...
Yan Wudi's long sword was faster than one stroke. Although his strength was not as strong as Liu Gang's, his speed was not slow at all. With exquisite swordsmanship, he forced Liu Gang to retreat continuously again and again.
"The great river surges. The Yan way is endless!" Yan Wudi shouted.
The swordsmanship in his hand was also like a surging river, hitting Liu Gang wave after wave.
"How? How could this be?" Liu Gang was actually being defeated continuously.
In a blink of an eye, Liu Gang was actually suppressed by Yan Wudi and unable to counterattack.
The onlookers around immediately brightened their eyes.
"This is the swordsmanship created by Yan Tao back then, the 'Surging Sword Art'?"
"Not bad. I saw it before. When Yan Tao of the Great River Sect used the Surging Sword Art, he was invincible in every battle. This young man has actually learned seven-tenths of its charm!"
"Good swordsmanship!"
...
Praise was endless. The three elders also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
But Lord Muye raised an eyebrow and looked at Yan Wudi's swordsmanship with a slightly solemn expression.
"At such an age, his swordsmanship has reached this level?" Lord Muye frowned.
"The surging heavenly river. The sky collapses and pours down!"
Yan Wudi shouted loudly. The long sword in his hand immediately burst out with a dazzling purple light. It seemed to turn into a great river and rush towards Liu Gang. And Yan Wudi also seemed to merge with the great river in an instant. Disappearing in the swordsmanship.
"Boom!"
Liu Gang flew backward. The iron sword in his hand was even instantly shattered and scattered all over the place.
"You... you... you!" Liu Gang looked at Yan Wudi in astonishment as if he couldn't believe that he would be defeated by a young man.
"Did I see wrongly just now?"
"Yan Wudi disappeared in the river of swords? Man and sword as one?"
"It's impossible. How old is he? How could he comprehend man and sword as one?"
...
There were immediately bursts of discussions around. Many people showed disbelief.
"Natural sword bone?" Lord Muye suddenly said.
"Hmm?" Everyone looked at Lord Muye.
"Unexpectedly, among Yan Tao's descendants, there is actually a person with a natural sword bone. Man and sword as one? Natural sword bone? Kid, do you want to worship me as your master?" Lord Muye immediately shouted.
"No need. I already have a master!" Yan Wudi said arrogantly.
"You already have a master? This purple sword in your hand is not an ordinary item. Was it given by your so-called master?" Lord Muye said faintly.
"Not bad. The sword is named 'Purple and Green'. When I became a disciple, I swore an oath to my master. With this purple and green sword, I will defeat all swords in the world!" Yan Wudi affirmed.
"Arrogant. Just a mere mortal dares to say that he will defeat all swords in the world? Liu Gang!" Lord Muye said in a deep voice.
"Disciple is here!" Liu Gang got up from the ground with injuries and blood at the corner of his mouth.
"Today, I bestow upon you the flying sword 'Fleeting Light'. It can take people's heads from a thousand miles away!" Lord Muye said in a deep voice.
As he spoke, Lord Muye reached out and grabbed. A cyan long sword appeared in his palm.
"Flying sword?" Liu Gang's eyes lit up.
"I will help you refine the flying sword. Then we'll compete again!" Lord Muye shouted.
"Yes!" Liu Gang said excitedly.
