The fifth volume is full of awe and martial arts legends Chapter 240: Storm is Coming
"Are you hurt?"
Outside Luoyang City, in a deserted Buddhist temple, Bai Yujing looked at the back of the figure in the pink robe and asked softly.
The man said calmly, "After all, Jing Wuming is one of the best swordsmen in the martial arts world. He's not that easy to deal with."
As he spoke, he raised his left hand. There was a sword wound on the palm of his hand, which had already scabbed over.
The man stood up and looked back, revealing a pale face with makeup on. He walked out of the Buddhist temple in the blink of an eye.
Outside the Buddhist temple is a low hill, located among the mountains.
At this time, the sky was gloomy and there was no sound of cicadas, which meant that a storm was about to come.
Bai Yujing sighed, "The storm is coming."
The pink-dressed man glanced at the ever-shifting clouds overhead and grinned, "Not entirely. As the saying goes, clouds follow dragons, and winds follow tigers. Now that the clouds and winds are changing, perhaps a true dragon has entered the world."
Bai Yujing was stunned when he heard this, then he smiled faintly and said, "Real dragon? There are no such things as real dragons in this world. They are just ordinary people who rise to prominence according to fate."
He was filled with emotion, took a few deep breaths, and continued, "Since ancient times, there have been countless people with extraordinary talents, but how many of them can adapt to the times? Many more people are talented but not appreciated, and are frustrated and unable to achieve their goals."
The pink-robed man asked, "For example?"
Bai Yujing smiled and uttered a name, "Li Muchan."
In this world, there are many people who are extraordinary in terms of foundation, strength, confidence, and master's background.
But Qiu Xiaolou was defeated , Zhu Si died, Gongzi Yu died, but Li Muchan was still alive and well, and was at the peak of his career, about to reach the pinnacle.
This person who should have been the most inconspicuous won over them all.
"It's truly remarkable that he's grown from an ant with no control over his own life and death to where he is today." The pink-robed man also praised: "I heard that he not only possesses the 'Formless Divine Art' and the 'Heavenly Buddha Scroll', but also inherited the legacy from Shen Tianjun. It seems that he has cultivated the 'Four Illuminations Divine Art'... hehehe..."
Bai Yujing was equally amazed, "Some people in the martial arts world are even calling him the new 'King of Jiuzhou'."
"King of Jiuzhou? Haha, what an arrogant tone." The pink-robed man's eyes widened suddenly, and he sneered: "Don't say that he is just a rising star. Even if Shen Tianjun was still alive, who would win or lose is still uncertain."
The man seemed to have absolute confidence in himself.
In this ever-changing world of martial arts, there's no such thing as a truly invincible figure. Shen Tianjun, the king of the Nine Provinces, died anyway. Zhu Si, despite achieving mastery of his magical power, was beheaded. Gongzi Yu, feared throughout the land, was also mutilated.
Each of these people was an unprecedented and tyrannical person, but they died miserably one after another.
The man in pink sneered, "If there is truly an invincible person in this world, it can only be me."
The reason why he said this was because he not only possessed unparalleled magical skills, but also had the power to dominate the court and the country, and he had the power of life and death over countless people.
Moreover, they have now reached the most critical moment. Once they succeed, the kid next to him will become the emperor, then his power will probably rise to an unprecedented height, even more astonishing than it is now.
By then, the word "invincible" cannot describe it.
And most importantly, he fully agreed with Bai Yujing's words.
People should go with the flow.
For example, the Emperor Taizu of the current dynasty was once a beggar and a monk, but in the end he still managed to change the dynasty and became famous throughout the ages.
So, can he do the same?
sure.
If Bai Yujing became emperor, his foundation was not yet solid, and he would definitely rely on him and the Qinglong Society for everything. By then, he would have the final say in everything, truly having the wind and rain to himself. No one dared to stop him, and he would naturally be invincible.
Listening to the feminine laughter of the person next to him, Bai Yujing remained silent.
How could he not know this man's ambition? The other party wanted to go further but did not dare to be too blatant; while he wanted to be the emperor. The two of them were just using each other, getting what they needed, and achieving each other.
If the task is truly accomplished, it will probably be the beginning of their breakup and mutual control.
And he is not the first one to act like this.
Didn’t Li Muchan get to where he is today thanks to the help of the Qinglong Society, the Jinqian Gang and the Demon Cult?
If Li Muchan can do it, then of course he can too.
Bai Yujing said calmly, "It's too early to say more now. The Tianxia Alliance should be moving soon. When should we start? Why are we forcing those Jianghu masters and martial arts families to leave the Money Gang? I think it's better to catch them all in one fell swoop. What if there are some who slip through the net? It will be a disaster."
The pink-robed man narrowed his eyes and looked towards Luoyang City. "I'm doing this to force Shangguan Xiaoxian into a desperate situation. Only in this way can the other party use all his tricks and bring out his final trump card."
Bai Yujing frowned and said, "What is this? It's worth all this trouble."
The pink-robed man's expression grew unusually serious. He stood with his hands behind his back and whispered, "If I hadn't been afraid of this thing, I would have killed the Shangguan sisters along the way the night I killed Jing Wuming."
His eyes seemed to be faintly red, as if stained with blood, and he spoke word by word, "Peacock Feather!"
Bai Yujing was deeply moved and asked solemnly, "Peacock Feather? Shangguan Xiaoxian actually hid the Peacock Feather?"
The pink-robed man said solemnly, "I'm not entirely sure, but back when Shangguan Jinhong dominated the martial arts world, he sent all his trusted clansmen to secretly search Mount Tai for several months, searching nearly every corner. In the end, they all mysteriously vanished, so I'm certain he must have found the Peacock Feather."
Bai Yujing's expression changed again and again. "If Shangguan Xiaoxian really has this thing, then the outcome might be hard to predict."
The pink-robed man smiled softly and said, "Back then, Qiu Fengwu's father fought the 'Great Thunder God' Jin Kaijia on the summit of Mount Tai. Although he was defeated, he survived. This shows that the 'Peacock Feather' is not something that cannot be resisted. If she doesn't have it, it's fine. But if she really does hold the Peacock Feather, how can I let her down? I will make sure she loses with a sincere heart and dies in peace."
As the two of them talked, the sound of the wind in the mountains became louder.
When the strong wind blows, the grass and trees rustle, and the dust flies high.
The two people on the hilltop each had their own thoughts, and both seemed to be waiting for something.
Now many Qinglong Society masters have already ambushed outside Luoyang City, waiting for the right opportunity to march straight in and wipe out the Jinqian Gang.
Not only is there an ambush outside, there are also martial arts families in the city to support them, and there are spies among the members of the Jinqian Gang, who can also achieve a surprise victory at the critical moment.
As for the timing…
Suddenly, someone came quickly on the winding mountain path, holding a letter.
"Sir, a secret letter from Jiangnan."
Bai Yujing opened the letter and took a quick glance before narrowing his eyes and sneering, "Here it comes!"
Who is coming.
Li Muchan is here.
"All the experts in the alliance have come out, divided into two groups, land and sea, and have already set off at noon today."
The pink-robed man said calmly, "Speed is of the essence in war. The first mover must be an expert, but Li Muchan will probably be even faster. He will definitely reach Luoyang tomorrow morning, or tonight ."
The man glanced at the sky and hummed, "Perfect. Then pass the order down. As soon as the cockcrows tomorrow morning, launch a general attack. Force Li Muchan out and send them off together."
Upon hearing this, Bai Yujing flew away and busied himself with arranging manpower.
The hill stood alone, with only the man in pink robe left standing alone. He looked at Bai Yujing's receding figure, a look of contemplation flashing in his eyes.
They are all ambitious people and naturally understand the consequences of trying to get the skin of a tiger.
Besides, Bai Yujing has a special identity and is a member of the royal family. Even he doesn't know how many tricks he has hidden.
"Haha, he's worthy of being taught by Zhu Si. He actually secretly mastered the Demonic Cult's Jade Moving Technique. Interesting. I hope he won't disappoint me..."
