"Oh!"
Fang Zheng spoke:
"Does the Commandery Princess have a way to resolve the Song Family?" ƒreewebɳovel.com
"The Song Family has a legacy of thousands of years, their foundation is as deep as that of an Immortal Sect, solving it completely with just our strength is naturally impossible." Li Yingxuan shook his head:
"But guarding one prefecture is not difficult!"
"Commandery Princess." Fang Zheng stared at his counterpart, speaking slowly:
"A few days ago, the Imperial Court issued national mourning to Gu’an County, the new emperor has died, people are observing mourning for thirty-six days."
"The Prince in the Capital City can hardly protect himself, the rebellion in Jinzhou Prefecture couldn’t be suppressed, it is heard that there’s turmoil in the Prefecture City too."
"Brother Fang..."
"How can I believe that the Commandery Princess can turn the tides?"
Not to mention that Li Yingxuan has the support of the Luofu Immortal Sect, the Song Family’s relationship with Luofu Immortal Sect is equally deep.
With turmoil imminent,
how can she possibly manage it?
"Let me introduce."
Upon hearing this, Li Yingxuan’s expression remained unchanged, extending a hand to a man who had remained silent by his side:
"This gentleman is Master Ling of Ling Shan from the Arctic Little Night Palace, who has come south to aid us."
Only then did Fang Zheng take a closer look at the man.
This was a handsome man whose specific age couldn’t be discerned, with long snow-white hair and a cold aura that suggested a distance from strangers.
Little Night Palace?
Like the Three Islands of the South Sea, the Arctic also has two top forces.
Aurora Island!
Little Night Palace!
Both forces have Rogue Immortals stationed, in terms of foundation and strength, they surpass the Song Family.
With turmoil imminent, more and more forces that used to remain hidden are starting to get involved, and the reason is uncertain.
For future benefits?
"So it’s a Daoist from Little Night Palace."
Fang Zheng cupped his hands:
"Brother Fang apologizing for the disrespect."
"Hm."
Ling Shan’s aura was not only icy but also cold and aloof, with an air of superiority.
It’s normal.
Hierarchy among cultivators from Little Night Palace is strict.
Low Tier cultivators are like servants to High Tier ones, subject to beating, ordering.
They could even be punished by death.
Daring to resist is a grave offense.
Since Fang Zheng was merely a modest cultivator, he hardly registered in Ling Shan’s view, and wasn’t considered an equal.
If not for Li Yingxuan’s sake, he wouldn’t have nodded at all.
"With the support of Little Night Palace, suppressing the turmoil should be effortless for the Commandery Princess." Fang Zheng turned and spoke:
"Brother Fang is merely a modest cultivator, and injured, afraid to be of little help."
"Brother Fang is too modest."
Li Yingxuan shook his head:
"To have killed the Mad Daoist, how could one be a mere insignificant figure? In the vast Zhaonan Prefecture, who else can claim to have done it?"
"However, with the Mad Daoist dead, the Song Family will definitely not let Brother Fang off, now is the perfect opportunity to expose the snake from its hole."
"Resolve it in one move, and there will be no worries left."
Fang Zheng squinted his eyes.
Li Yingxuan’s meaning was clear: for him to leave Gu’an County to lure out the remaining forces of the Song Family.
And then resolve them all!
However, within Gu’an County, Fang Zheng feared no one, even if a Rogue Immortal came he would have means.
Going out...
Has its uncertainties.
Celestial Secret Compass!
As the thought emerged, the Celestial Secret Compass in the Sea of Consciousness spun rapidly, forty-nine tiers of gears evolving complexity.
Heavenly Secrets!
Heavenly Secrets!
...
The secrets of the Heaven-Cutting Dao, to glimpse past and future.
In an instant.
A kind of realization surfaced in the mind.
"Go, while perilous, there is opportunity amidst the danger, though there will be setbacks, no threat to life, opportunities and hidden dangers in subsequent events."
"Stay, lucky amidst danger, though temporarily safeguarding one area, it will sour relations with the Commandery Princess and Little Night Palace, bringing later troubles."
’Hm?’
Fang Zheng furrowed his brows slightly:
’Regardless of choice, fortune and misfortune accompany each other, it seems the Divination Skill isn’t all-encompassing and cannot clearly point to a smooth path.’
’Which is normal, otherwise Master Jiuyuan wouldn’t have died, and currently it is a world of contending, amidst upheaval, no matter the choice troubles lurk beneath, trying to stay unscathed in chaotic times is extremely difficult?’
"Brother Fang?"
Li Yingxuan’s voice rang out:
"Have you made your decision?"
......
Three Sages Manor.
In the grand hall, Manor Master Baili Zhan sat at the center.
His physique was already brawny and robust, now draped in a tiger-hide mantle, making his presence even more intimidating.
The aura of the Martial Sect swirled and lingered in the hall, instinctively causing everyone to shut their mouths, daring not to speak.
Few maintained their normal expression.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Accompanied by a muffled thunderous sound, two enormous figures entered the hall.
The newcomers stood a good ten feet tall, tusks protruding, features grotesque, only the vital spots of their bodies wrapped in beast hide. As they stepped into the hall, a peculiar odor spread throughout as if from two savages who hadn’t bathed in years.
Their immense size caused the hall to appear cramped, giving off a suffocating sensation.
"Southern Border Gu people?"
Baili Zhan’s eyes flickered:
"It’s said these Gu people are incredibly strong and fearless of pain, making them excellent for charging and battling on the field."
"In terms of strength, ordinary Martial Sect cultivators can’t compare."
"Hehe..." A coquettish laugh sounded:
"What a keen insight, Manor Master."
"But these Gu people of mine are far from ordinary, using them as expendables to charge would be wasteful."
Accompanied by the voice, a woman with exquisite features emerged from behind the Gu people.
Contrasting the gigantic physique of the Gu people, the woman appeared charming and captivating, her daring crop top and short skirt perceived as exotic attire by those from the Central Plains, the exposed fair skin intensely attracting everyone’s gaze.
"Jingle jingle..."
As the woman swayed her body, the crisp sound of bells arose.
There were finely crafted Copper Bells tied to her wrists, ankles, neck, and even her slender waist.
Each step she took was accompanied by bell chimes.
The woman offered a bow:
"Huang Fei of the Miao people, greets Manor Master Baili, greets Celestial Spider Ascendant."
"Good, good." The Celestial Spider Ascendant, draped in a black robe, spoke in a hoarse, unpleasant voice as his skeletal hand reached out from his sleeve, laughing:
