As the Demon Cult began to evacuate, the originally tense atmosphere eased, and various parts of the Ming Dynasty also began to calm down.
But what followed was the news that the Immortal Sword Immortal Li Changsheng had died, and that the number one swordsman in the Ming Dynasty had changed hands.
Suddenly, the entire world was shaken.
This is Li Changsheng. The person who has occupied the top spot on the Ming Dynasty Swordsmanship Ranking for nearly a hundred years has fallen like this? !
But when they learned about the specific circumstances of the battle and that the murderer was Yu Huatian, everyone seemed not so shocked anymore.
After all, this West Factory owner has always liked to create miracles.
Unknowingly, many people seem to have become accustomed to it.
Of course, it is inevitable that such a big event will cause a storm in the world.
Especially those top swordsmen who know how terrifying Li Changsheng is, they can clearly understand what it means to be able to kill Li Changsheng and reach the top of the Ming Dynasty swordsmanship.
The speed at which this West Factory owner is growing is truly terrifying.
It has only been two and a half years since their debut that they have reached such a level, which is truly unprecedented and unprecedented.
It's so fast that you can't even think of catching up.
Some people seem to be destined to be the leader of the sword from birth...
…
On the western border, thousands of demon sect members gathered together in a mighty and shocking manner.
But compared to before, it was nearly one-third less.
In just over half a month, the Demon Sect entered the territory of the Ming Dynasty, killing countless people and wiping out nearly a hundred small and medium-sized forces. However, after the Ming Dynasty began to counterattack, the Demon Sect also suffered heavy casualties.
Moreover, due to the death of two old leaders, Bai Xiaolou and Ren Tianxing, Ye Dingzhi went to Xueyue City and had to make the decision to withdraw his troops.
At this time, in front of the Demon Cult army, Ye Dingzhi was dressed in white, standing with his hands behind his back, looking at the southern part of the Ming Dynasty.
That's the direction of Xueyue City.
He seemed to be waiting for something.
At this moment, a demon sect spy came from a distance and quickly arrived in front of Ye Dingzhi. He knelt down on one knee and said respectfully:
"Reporting to the leader, there is news."
"Say it." Ye Dingzhi said calmly.
The demon sect spy had a trace of shock in his eyes that had not yet dissipated, but he still suppressed the shock in his heart and said: "In the battle of Xueyue City, the Immortal Sword Immortal Li Changsheng fell, and Xichang Changgong Yu Huatian ascended to the Ming Dynasty. Top of the list in kendo.”
Just two words, but instantly the whole place became dead silent.
"How can this be?!"
After a short silence, someone exclaimed in shock:
"That's Li Changsheng...that eunuch from Xichang, how long has he been practicing?!"
Everyone was in an uproar and couldn't believe this was true.
Others don't understand Li Changsheng's strength, how can they still not understand it?
Eighty years ago, the old leader Bai Xiaolou had unrivaled martial arts skills. In just a few years, he unified the originally divided branches of the Demon Cult into one force, and then launched the first Eastern Expedition against the Ming Dynasty.
But that time, Li Changsheng blocked the entire Demon Sect's eastward march with one man and one sword.
In that battle, hundreds of masters of the Demon Sect fell. Even the leader Bai Xiaolou was seriously injured. After returning to the Western Region, he announced his death not long after. They all didn't know until the beginning of this Eastern Expedition that the old leader had not died. He died, but his vitality was severely damaged in that battle. He has been in seclusion for recuperation for these years, but he did not expect that he died on the bank of Dongting Lake during this Eastern Expedition, unable to escape the reincarnation of fate.
It can be said that if it weren't for the death and injury of so many elders in that battle, the Demon Sect would never have declined like this in recent years.
For decades, the Demon Sect has always regarded Li Changsheng as its life and death enemy.
That person was so strong that I couldn't even think of resisting.
So this time, after hearing that Li Changsheng had returned from his travels, Ye Dingzhi did not hesitate to issue the order to retreat.
Because everyone knows that as long as Li Changsheng is in charge, they will never be able to get involved in the Ming Dynasty.
But now, the man who can almost be called the legend of the Ming Dynasty martial arts has fallen into the hands of a court eunuch who has only practiced for more than two years?
How dare they believe this? !
Even Ye Dingzhi had a hint of shock in his eyes, and his heart trembled violently.
Although he doesn't practice swordsmanship, he has sensed the two sword powers in the south of the Ming Dynasty in the past few days.
One of them is Li Changsheng, so the other one is naturally Yuhuatian.
In his opinion, although Yu Huatian's strength is also beyond the standard, there should still be a big gap compared to Li Changsheng.
In this battle, Yuhuatian will definitely die.
He had already planned that after Li Changsheng got rid of Yuhuatian and the turmoil broke out in the Ming Dynasty, the Demon Cult would come back again and launch the fifth Eastern Expedition.
Because it is impossible for people like Li Changsheng to stay in Ming Dynasty forever.
Not only Li Changsheng, but also some other powerful heavenly beings, once they reach this level, almost all of them are no longer interested in worldly desires for power. They are pursuing a higher path of martial arts.
People like him are always in the minority.
Therefore, as long as Li Changsheng leaves the Ming Dynasty, it will be the time of the Demon Sect's fifth eastern expedition.
He had planned everything.
But the ending at this moment was so beyond his expectation.
Ye Dingzhi took a deep breath, looked at the demon sect spy, and said in a deep voice: "Is the news true?"
The spy nodded and said: "In the battle of Xueyue City, thousands of people from all walks of life went to watch the battle. They saw with their own eyes that Yu Huatian beheaded Li Changsheng. His head was cut off. The body is still hanging on Xueyue City. Only I’m afraid that the news will reach the Western Regions in a few days!”
Hearing this, everyone fell silent, but it was still hard to believe that this could be true.
for a long time.
Ye Dingzhi raised his head and looked at the endless territory of the Ming Dynasty in front of him. Shock, anger, unwillingness, loneliness...all kinds of emotions surrounded his heart, making his face extremely complicated.
"Could it be that this is really the fate of my holy religion..."
Li Changsheng's death means that his plan will come to an end.
As long as Yuhuatian is still alive, the Demon Sect will never dare to step into the Ming Dynasty again.
Because no one can stop the rain and turn it into fields!
Even Li Changsheng is dead, who else will be his opponent? !
"The leader..."
Everyone in the Demon Sect had obviously thought of this, and when they came back to their senses, they all looked at Ye Dingzhi.
Ye Dingzhi was silent for a moment, a trace of exhaustion flashed in his eyes, and his voice was a little hoarse. He waved his hand and said, "Retreat and go back to the Western Region."
Everyone was silent, and their mood became a little depressed.
Returning to Middle-earth is a lifelong wish, but now I have to go back the same way and continue to live in those dark days.
Perhaps, this is really the fate of their demonic sect.
Demons are destined to remain invisible...
At this time, Ye Dingzhi's eyes flashed and he suddenly said: "Since we can't return to the Ming Dynasty, then let's attack the Western Regions from now on!"
"At this moment, the Buddhist forces in the Western Region have almost been eliminated by Yuhuatian. There is no force that can compete with our Holy Religion anymore. If we go back to unify the martial arts in the Western Region and control the countries in the Western Region, we may not be able to live freely back in the Middle Earth!"
Everyone nodded slightly, that was all they could do.
But in my heart, there was always some reluctance.
In order to return to the Central Plains, the Holy Cult struggled for hundreds of years, but in the end they still could not escape the sanctions of fate...
At this time, an elder of the Demon Sect suddenly said: "I just received news two days ago that the Western Region is not peaceful now. The Beili Kingdom has launched a war and started to invade the countries in the Western Region. It should also want to unify the Western Region countries. "
"Beili Country?"
Ye Dingzhi frowned at first, and then a hint of disdain appeared in his eyes: "Is the Beili Kingdom qualified to unify the Western Region?"
The elder shook his head and said: "I don't know the specific situation. I just heard that the Beili Kingdom changed to a military marshal. This man controlled the Beili army and was good at fighting. In just half a month, the North was destroyed. Many small countries have already begun to move southward."
"A mere secular military commander, no matter how strong he is, how strong can he be?"
Ye Dingzhi waved his hand carelessly and said: "When we go back this time, we will first send people to deal with him, and then let us control those small countries to join forces and start a war. As for the Jianghu, I will personally handle it. On the side, there are a few old guys who are pretty good."
"Yes, leader." Everyone nodded.
Ye Dingzhi glanced around the crowd, suddenly frowned, and said: "Where is the lineage of Wuxiang Mage? He hasn't come back yet?"
The Wuxiang Mage is also the strongest branch of the Demon Sect besides Tianwaitian.
Everyone looked at each other, and suddenly felt something bad in their hearts.
At this time, the demon sect spy who had just reported the news sighed, stepped forward and said: "Cult leader, not only the Wuxiang Demon Master, but also Murong Yule and several other leaders will not be able to come back."
Hearing this, Ye Dingzhi's expression changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "What's going on? Yuhuatian has gone south, who else can kill them?"
The Demon Cult spy said solemnly: "Yu Huatian went south and only brought a team of ordinary Xichang fans. All his masters were sent to the western region to stop our Holy Cult army."
"Murong Yule and other leaders all died at the hands of the masters under Yuhuatian. One of them was Ye Gucheng, the seventh-ranked Sword Master of Feixian Island on the Ming Dynasty Swordsmanship Ranking, and another one was also very strong. , named Yan Shisan, known as the deadly swordsman..."
"In addition, there are also some masters in the Ming Dynasty who took action. The Wuxiang Mage died in the hands of Xie Xuan, the Confucian Sword Immortal who ranked ninth on the swordsmanship list, and Xian Yan Zhantian, who ranked tenth on the kendo list!"
"Damn it!" Hearing this, Ye Dingzhi's face darkened.
He did not expect that Yuhuatian would dare to go to Xueyue City alone.
"It doesn't matter, just die if you die. There is no one who will not die in a war."
An elder from the Demon Cult walked out and said in a deep voice: "Cult Leader, time is running out. We should withdraw. If we wait any longer, people from the imperial court will come after us, and we will have more casualties!"
Ye Dingzhi nodded, turned back again, glanced at the Ming Dynasty territory, a trace of nostalgia appeared in his eyes, and then turned around indifferently and walked towards the western wilderness forest where he came from.
The disciples of the Demon Sect followed him one after another and soon disappeared into the wild forest.
…
Somewhere in the southwest of Ming Dynasty.
A group of Jianghu people holding swords stood by the lake.
This group of Jianghu people are the disciples of Xueyue City.
Zhao Yuzhen, Li Hanyi, Tang Lian, Lei Wujie, Sikong Qianluo, Yin Luoxia and Lei Yunhe were all among them.
Everyone had blood on them.
They had just finished dealing with a group of disciples from the Demon Cult branch when they heard the news of Li Changsheng's death.
At this time, everyone's faces were filled with anger and sadness.
According to the news from the spies, not only was Li Changsheng dead, but Xueyue City was also reduced to ruins.
And they have become wanted criminals by the court.
Suddenly, Tang Lian suddenly walked out, cold murderous intent erupted from her body, and said coldly:
"Go to the capital and take revenge!"
The atmosphere that was about to burst into flames was instantly detonated.
"Yes! Revenge for our master! Revenge for the two old city lords!"
"Fight with the imperial court!"
Everyone roared angrily, then picked up their swords and followed Tang Lian, heading to the capital to avenge the eunuch who had ruined their family.
"stop!"
But at this moment, Li Hanyi suddenly turned around and stared at Tang Lianyue coldly: "Are you looking for death?!"
"Second Master, do you want to watch my master die tragically?!"
Tang Lian turned around and roared: "Both Master and Master Sikong are dead, and now Master is also dead. Our century-old foundation of Xueyue City has been destroyed. If we don't avenge this revenge, how can we have the face to face those dead people?" ?!”
Li Hanyi said coldly: "Revenge? Why do you have that? The master is dead, do you think you will be his opponent?!"
"I...even if I die, I will tear a piece of flesh from his body!" Tang Lian said angrily.
"Yes, I want to avenge my father too!" Sikong Qianluo also roared.
"you shut up!"
Li Hanyi glanced at her coldly, then looked at Tang Lian and others, saying: "Go to him now. You can't do anything except sacrifice in vain."
Yin Luoxia also walked out of the crowd, looked at everyone, and sighed: "The fact that he was able to kill the old city lord shows that his strength is above that of heaven and man. If you go to find him now, you are committing suicide. Moreover, the capital city belongs to him." There are many masters in this lair. If you go there, you may not even be able to see his face, but you will be killed by the masters under his command."
"so what should I do now?!"
Lei Wujie said angrily: "Are you going to just watch my Xueyue City be destroyed in his hands, watch your master and the others fall, and not avenge yourself?!"
Li Hanyi was silent for a moment, then looked at Yin Luoxia and said, "Elder Yin, take them away from the Ming Dynasty and go to the Western Regions!"
Everyone was shocked.
Lei Wujie looked at Li Hanyi: "Sister, we are going to the Western Regions, what about you?!"
Li Hanyi looked at him coldly: "Don't mind my business and leave now!"
With that said, she held her hand towards Yin Luoxia and saluted, saying: "Elder Yin, I'm begging you!"
Yin Luoxia's face was complicated.
How could she not understand what Li Hanyi meant.
Let her take people away from Daming, but Li Hanyi, she is not ready to leave.
She stayed not only to cut off their rear and ward off the court's pursuers, but also to go to the capital alone to take revenge.
Looking at Li Hanyi's indifferent eyes, Yin Luoxia sighed, nodded and said, "Okay."
She did not dissuade him because she understood Li Hanyi's temperament.
No one can stop what she decides.
"elder sister……"
"Second Master..."
Lei Wujie and others also realized something and looked anxious, trying to dissuade Li Hanyi.
"Walk!"
Li Hanyi said coldly.
She took a deep look at Lei Wujie, and then looked at the other people in Xueyue City. A trace of loneliness flashed in her eyes, but soon turned into indifference, and said in a low voice: "Live well."
"Only when you are alive can you have a chance for revenge!"
Yin Luoxia stepped forward, looked at Tang Lian and others, and whispered: "Let's go."
Li Hanyi ignored them. He turned his head and looked at Zhao Yuzhen next to him. A trace of guilt appeared on his face. Just as he was about to speak, Zhao Yuzhen suddenly smiled and said:
"No need to say anything, I'll go with you."
Li Hanyi shook his head and said softly: "He killed my master and my senior brothers. I have to go. But you don't have to die with me."
Zhao Yuzhen smiled and said: "Since you know that you are going to die, how can I not go? If you die, will you let me live alone?"
"I..." Li Hanyi was silent.
Zhao Yuzhen said softly: "I know what you are thinking. I am going here only to represent myself. Considering that I have helped him before, he should not involve Qingcheng Mountain."
Li Hanyi was silent for a long time, nodded heavily, and said, "Okay, let's go together."
Hearing this, Zhao Yuzhen smiled slightly.
"None of you need to go, you can all die here today!"
Suddenly, a cold voice came from a distance.
The next moment, figures with powerful aura suddenly emerged from the forest in the distance.
Everyone's expressions changed.
"The scum of Tianzong! They are the lackeys of the imperial court!"
"There are also Jin Yiwei, who are from the imperial court!"
In an instant, dense crowds of Tianzong masters and Jinyi guards emerged from the surrounding woods, surrounding everyone in Xueyue City.
The four leaders were Ye Gucheng, Yan Shisan, Liancheng Bi and Zhan Yu.
In addition, there are also many masters from the Ghost King's Mansion among them!
Lian Chengbi stepped forward, looked at Li Hanyi and others, and said coldly: "The governor has given you many opportunities, but you can't grasp it yourself, and you can't blame anyone!"
"Today, the light of Xueyue City should be extinguished!"
After finishing his words, Lian Chengbi waved his hand coldly without any nonsense: "Kill!"
Swish swish swish~
Suddenly, a dense crowd of Tianzong masters and Jinyi guards swarmed forward.
The battle broke out instantly.
Lian Chengbi jumped up and went straight towards Li Hanyi, but was repulsed by Zhao Yuzhen's sword.
Upon seeing this, everyone in the Ghost King's Mansion took action and began to besiege Li Hanyi and Zhao Yuzhen.
However, both of them are strong men on the swordsmanship list, and their strength far exceeds that of ordinary grandmasters. In just a short moment, Liancheng Bi was injured and retreated.
Seeing that Ye Gucheng had not yet taken action, Lian Chengbi shouted anxiously: "What are you waiting for? Let them run away, and I'll see how you explain it to the governor!"
Ye Gucheng ignored it. He looked at the battlefield in the distance and sighed softly.
The grudge between Xue Yuecheng and the imperial court cannot be said to be who is at fault, but the positions of both parties are different.
But these things still need to come to an end after all.
Shaking his head, Ye Gucheng suppressed the complicated emotions in his heart and joined the battlefield with his sword.
This battle lasted for three hours.
In the end, the two great swordsmen Zhao Yuzhen and Li Hanyi both fell under the siege of Ye Gucheng and others.
None of the more than two hundred experts in Xueyue City, including Tang Lian, Lei Wujie and other core people, escaped and were completely buried next to this unknown lake.
Xueyue City will be removed from the list.
The fifth chapter will be added to the May monthly ticket.
Regarding Xueyue City, I can only say that the positions are different and there is no absolute right or wrong. I hope the original party will understand.
(End of chapter)
