His eyes slowly sank into contemplation.
Then, he lowered the iron mask on his forehead, swung up the Phoenix Wing Golden Halberd, raised it toward the sky, and with the Azure Heaven Banner, it all expanded together, and then ————
"Tiger Wei Cavalry, listen to my command!"
"Flatten the Prefecture City!" fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
The Great Demon Hunter Master, Li Treading Immortal...
is a talent.
Lv Xiantian felt a bit regretful in his heart.
But even if they had never met.
He could understand Li Treading Immortal’s mentality.
Assassinating King Yin, apprenticing to Zuo Shanhe, forcing Dong Hongshuang’s death, beheading Li Qiankun, making Li Shen Yao abdicate...
These events, if all done by one person, then this person must be an unparalleled hero.
Just like him, Lv Xiantian, whose life was filled with reversals, starting from the Great Xuan Border Army, then beheading his superior, defecting to Great Yin, and today, with the opportunity ripe, preparing to establish his own rule...
In his life, though he had times of living under others’ rule, his innate rebelliousness made Lv Xiantian clearly aware.
He found it hard to be subordinate to others.
So, this kind of hero, though never having met, he knew that if recruited, it would be like inviting a fierce tiger to sleep right beside him!
If not handled well, allowing him to usurp power later, wouldn’t he live daily in the shadow of betrayal?
There’s a saying about a thousand days as a thief, but none about a thousand days against thieves?
Moreover... Li Treading Immortal, nominally, has a blood feud with his ’adopted father,’ Grandmaster Dong, who is a Dragon Blood Half-Demon and has connected with a ’Grotto Heaven,’ so he can’t go against him now.
Therefore, if he doesn’t kill Li Treading Immortal.
It’s hard to explain.
As ten thousand riders ravaged the land.
The entire Prefecture City... was shocked.
...
Meanwhile, Jixia was still in seclusion, performing the Human World Demonstration Dao, deducing the Ultimate Realm of the Human World, and ordering that no one should disturb him.
There,
According to Li Shen Yao’s dying plea, Xuanzong, who was sent to the ’Ten Extremes Mansion’ to guard the Ten Extremes Pass.
He was already armored, looking back at this Prefecture City with complex eyes, but ultimately, he didn’t linger too long, nor did he intend to defy Li Treading Immortal.
In the Tongye Duke’s Mansion, he was the most reasonable.
That’s why he survived till the end.
Under familial bonds, though inevitably angry with Li Treading Immortal.
But as someone who witnessed Li Treading Immortal’s rise all the way...
He understood his struggles more.
However, perhaps in his heart, there was ultimately some discontent, Li Xuanzong also knew that he couldn’t continue staying in this Tongye Mansion; otherwise, daily interactions would one day make his ambition surpass his reason.
Thinking about it, Li Shen Yao might have seen this point, which is why he wanted him to stay away from Tongye.
Li Xuanzong sighed, shook his head, intending to shake off all his worries, settle in one place, entrust military and political matters to another, which isn’t a bad thing, but...
Just as he was about to leave Prefecture City...
The tremor of iron cavalry, the earth-splitting vibration strikes!
Seeing Marquis Hu Wei’s army at a glance, he couldn’t help but show seriousness, deeply shocked:
"The Lv banner..."
"Marquis Hu Wei ’Lv Xiantian’... how did they come so quickly?"
In front of a True Master, ten thousand Dragon Tiger Blood Riders, this Prefecture City seemed grand and imposing, with military formations and great arts reinforcing it, but actually...
It’s no different from paper.
Looking at this city that has nothing ’to do’ with him anymore.
And then glancing at his followers behind him.
Li Xuanzong hesitated repeatedly, between seeking refuge with Marquis Hu Wei and protecting his once-owned territory...
He chose the latter.
Even knowing it’s invincible.
Tongye Duke Li Shen Yao spent his whole life fighting for ’independence,’ this thousand miles of fertile land, how could he give it away!
In the end, blood of the Li family must flow out fully before it stops!
Even if the enemy is a maternal uncle, it makes no exception!
After all, in the end, they are outsiders.
...
Outside the secret chamber of the Tongye Mansion.
An old man suspended mid-air without any external help, wearing a black-and-white chess robe, his eyes quivering as he watched the movement in the Quiet Chamber, somewhat shocked, even his fingers trembled slightly.
At his side, Xu Heng, ranked among the Great Yin Imperial Guards, spoke persuasively:
"Adopted Father, why are you still here?"
"Even if that kid is amazing in chess, but... he is now Duke Tongye and the Great Demon Hunter Master, and an enemy of Great Yin!"
"Marquis Hu Wei is already at the gates, determined to take him down."
"If we continue to linger here... isn’t that a bit inappropriate?"
Xu Heng originally thought.
His adopted father might know the importance, the urgency, even if not for himself, he would consider his adopted sons and dependencies.
But!
The more Xu Ruotong looked inside, the brighter, more eager his eyes became, his desire almost overflowing.
Just like the day on Nirvana Mountain, the Cultivation Taoist’s desire for the ’Primordial Spirit Nirvana Skill’... was exactly the same!
"You,"
"Can’t you see, hear the commotion inside?"
Xu Ruotong extended his finger, pointing at the movement where Jixia was demonstrating the Dao to Li Chengzhen, Meng Ke, and others inside the room.
But on the side, adopted son Xu Heng was puzzled, glancing at:
"There’s nothing inside?"
He couldn’t see, nor perceive any ripples, because he was at the third stage.
But having touched the Celestial Gate, the Inner Realm, gradually touching the ’Divine Soul’ from the ’flesh,’ Xu Ruotong was different.
Xu Ruotong could see the ’creation’ inside.
"I see, you can’t see."
"So you don’t understand."
He withdrew his finger with a sense of loss.
Although Xu Heng didn’t understand, looking at Xu Ruotong’s expression, he couldn’t help but say:
"Adopted Father, forgive my ignorance, though I cannot see, but..."
