South Vietnamese Empire.
Kyoto.
On the main road dozens of miles outside the city, a neat team of nearly a hundred people was slowly moving forward. Two luxurious carriages were escorted in the middle of the team. The team was divided into two sections, the front and rear, heading towards the Nanyue Royal City in a mighty manner.
But the man in the leading suit gave an order.
"Stop, rest where you are and standby!"
But seeing the entire marching team immediately stopped moving forward.
Some people in the team immediately started to build the barracks, some buried pots to make rice, and some planted stakes to surround the camp. Everything was orderly and well-trained.
Not long after, a white-haired old man with luxurious clothes and a majestic face stepped out of the carriage in front. This man was clearly Wan Zhentian, the master of Wanxiang Sect.
Following from the carriage behind them were Wu Tianfang and Wei Tianhao.
The hundreds of well-dressed men around him were all disciples from the Wanxiang Sect in the Western Region.
"Master, let the disciples enter the royal city first. Lord Nangong should come to greet you in person!"
Wu Tianfang was seen taking three steps at a time and then hurriedly came to Wan Zhentian, bending down to ask for instructions.
Wan Zhentian said expressionlessly.
"It doesn't matter. This time I came to the South Vietnam Empire in person as a teacher to completely solve the troubles left over fifteen years ago!"
"Master, please rest here for a while. I will go to the palace immediately."
"Well, go ahead."
Wan Zhentian nodded slowly, Wu Tianfang always satisfied him with his actions.
After saying that, Wu Tianfang drove a fast horse and galloped towards the capital.
The Wanxiangmen traveled thousands of miles to come to the South Vietnam Empire this time because they received a letter from Lord Nangong Shuo early in the morning.
The letter mentioned that in the past six months, several local guards of the South Vietnam Empire had been secretive and disrespectful of military orders. They seemed to be secretly conspiring to harm the empire.
However, there must be a reputable person among them who is in charge of the liaison. This person is most likely the god general Teng Hu who fled to Fengming Mountain fifteen years ago.
Teng Hu has now become a cultivator, and he was already quite prestigious in the military.
In this way, he could easily win over a group of followers in the army. It would be easy for him to rebel, support the new king, or even establish himself as king.
Therefore, Nangong Shuo sent a message to Wan Zhentian, wanting to ask him to come out and help him resist Teng Hu's rebellion.
Of course, it was mainly aimed at Teng Hu, who had now become a practitioner.
If Wan Zhentian can come out and help him deal with Teng Hu, then Nangong Shuo has full confidence that he can control the situation in the South Vietnam Empire.
After Wan Zhentian received the letter, he had no intention of participating in the fight between mortals in the South Vietnam Empire.
The reason why he chose to take action fifteen years ago was because Gu Hongshan, the elder of the Wanxiang Sect, had an old relationship with Lin Hong, the head of the Lin clan in Nanyue. He had no choice but to have a conflict with Fengmingshan, which led to him returning home in disgrace.
However, in recent years, dozens of disciples of the Wanxiang Sect have been assassinated for no apparent reason, and some have even died without their bodies intact. The methods are cruel and outrageous.
Wan Zhentian sent Wu Tianfang and Wei Tianhao to investigate the matter many times, but they all returned without success and no suspicious clues were found.
Until half a year ago, the killer who had been hiding in the dark happened to bump into Wei Tianhao who was patrolling the mountain gate when he was carrying out the assassination.
After the two fought, the assassin was wounded and escaped.
Later, after careful evaluation of his skills and body shape, it was finally confirmed that this person who had been secretly opposing the Wanxiang Sect for many years was actually Teng Hu, the South Vietnamese Empire's divine general who escaped fifteen years ago.
After careful consideration, Wan Zhentian decided to visit the Imperial Capital of South Vietnam in person. Firstly, he accepted Nangong Shuo's invitation, and secondly, he took the opportunity to get rid of Teng Hu.
Of course, he also thought that Master Huang He of Fengming Mountain might intervene.
However, that would just allow him to wash away the humiliation he suffered fifteen years ago, which was exactly what he wanted.
Wan Zhentian has always been brooding about the setback fifteen years ago. In his heart, this incident was like a thorn in his heart, not excepting his displeasure.
Now, Wan Zhentian's cultivation level has reached the fifth level of the stars. Wan Zhentian, who has condensed the heart of the stars, is no longer as eager as he was back then.
...
Night falls and the full moon is in the sky.
The place where the Wanxiang Sect is stationed is brightly lit, and the disciples in the sect sit in groups, either drinking heavily or eating meat, which is very pleasant.
However, outside the surrounding camps, there were still two disciples patrolling and guarding each other. They did not drink or eat meat with their fellow disciples in the camp, thus neglecting their duties.
It can be seen from this that although Wanxiang Sect is full of evil and arrogant, the order within the sect is orderly and orderly, which is due to the strict sect rules set by Wan Zhentian.
At this time, beside the mound not far from the crowd at Wanxiang Gate, a figure that had been hiding slowly stood up.
This figure has been hiding here for nearly two hours.
The bright moonlight at night illuminated his clear face.
This person is Nangong Yun.
Ever since he entered the Nanjun area, Nangong Yun has been following this particularly conspicuous team of frames.
Because, their clothes and appearance are obviously practitioners from the Western Regions.
However, what do so many foreign cultivators want to do when they suddenly come to South Vietnam? If they want to harm the South Vietnam Empire, then I am afraid no one can stop them.
Nangong Yun grew up in Fengming Mountain since he was a child. His understanding of the power structure and sects on the Yuanhun Continent came from his master's explanations, and he did not see it with his own eyes.
He understands ordinary people fairly well, but as for other cultivating forces, his only personal experience is his trip to the Immortal Medical Valley and the intersection with the Tianjian Sect half a year ago.
At this point, he wanted to get closer to some of the camps ahead.
If you can find out something from their exchanges and conversations, it may be more useful than staying here all the time.
However, he could easily detect that among the people patrolling outside the camp, the strongest ones were only at the fifth level of Yuanhun.
If he were to fight against them, Nangong Yun was convinced that with his current strength, which was close to the peak of his soul, he could definitely defeat them in one round.
However, it was extremely difficult for him to approach the camp without a few people knowing it.
While Nangong Yun was thinking and hesitating, Lord Huo's voice came from the soul sea.
"Xiao Yun, there is a strong man in the star realm in the tent ahead, so there is no need for you to take risks."
Nangong Yun asked when he heard Master Huo say this.
"Lord Huo, do you know who they are?"
"I'm not the roundworm in their stomachs. How do I know who they are? However, the white-haired old man among them has reached the fifth level of the stars. I advise you not to go any further."
"Fifth level of stars? Isn't that higher than the master's cultivation level?"
Nangong Yun was slightly surprised and his face was solemn.
Because he knew very well how terrifying a fifth-level star powerhouse was on the Yuanhun Continent.
Just listen to Lord Huo say disdainfully.
"It's only the fifth level of stars. In the world of cultivation, it's like an ant-like existence. If it had been back then..."
Master Huo stopped talking and changed his words.
"Forget it, let's not mention it. In fact, the old guy has already discovered you."
Nangong Yun was even more surprised now. If the other party found out that he was following them, wouldn't it be very dangerous, so he asked hurriedly.
"How can this be?"
"Haha, how is this impossible? You must know that if a strong person in the star realm condenses the heart of the stars, his perception ability can spread to a range of hundreds of feet around him. Therefore, he has known about you from the beginning. exist."
"ah?!"
When Nangong Yun heard Master Huo say this, he naturally believed it. Master Huo would definitely not lie to him.
He was about to retreat, but then he thought, since his Xingzang had been discovered by the other party, why didn't they find him out?
Moreover, Master Huo said this, obviously not worried about any danger to him. What on earth is going on?
"You don't have to guess, it's because you are insignificant in his heart! For example, would you argue with the ants on the ground?"
Nangong Yun was a little embarrassed. Although he was weak, it was compared to their fifth-level star warrior, but not all others in the camp were such experts.
Just listen to Master Huo say again.
"What I'm saying is that in his eyes, you are just an ordinary person who has no cultivation at all. Because your life soul has not awakened, he cannot detect the fluctuations of your soul power."
"Oh I got it!"
Nangong Yun suddenly realized that it seemed that his life soul was incomplete and his inability to awaken was not useless. At least he could hide his true cultivation level.
"Then if that's the case, wouldn't it be possible for me to pretend to be ordinary people passing by and talk to them?"
Nangong Yun suddenly said this out of the blue.
Master Huo said angrily.
"You are really ignorant. Even if you are an ordinary person in their eyes, it is still true that you have followed them all the way. At this time, they despise you and thank God if they don't come to trouble you. You still want to take the initiative to send it up? "
Nangong Yun immediately woke up after being taught by Master Huo.
But he was just curious, and he just wanted to know what this group of people wanted to do when they came to the South Vietnam Empire.
This may be due to the young man's human nature, or maybe he is really worried that if this group of people goes to Kyoto to cause trouble, then the senior sister is in Kyoto. The more he thinks about it, the more he thinks about it, and even he himself does not understand this inexplicable worry. Where did it come from.
However, his thoughts were interrupted by Master Huo's voice.
"Haha, don't be stupid here. They are practitioners from the Western Region. Didn't your master say that there are only two major forces in the Western Region: Tianjian Mountain and Wanxiang Sect? Do you see how they are different from Tianjian Mountain? Do the Jianmen disciples look alike?"
"Yes, they must be from the Wanxiang Sect! Master Huo, you are really smart."
"Then learn more and withdraw!"
Nangong Yun then quietly retreated from the camp at Wanxiangmen and headed towards Kyoto.
Although Nangong Yun hated the Wanxiang Sect, and he had promised Sun Wan, the lord of the Medical Immortal Valley, to help her get rid of Wan Zhentian.
But at this time, he was not stupid enough to risk his death with his Yuanhun realm strength.
