The fifth volume is full of awe and martial arts legends Chapter 242: Finally Seeing the Golden Peng Dynasty
But this man's face was as yellow as copper, with yellow beard and yellow eyebrows, and thick eyebrows slanting into his temples. He had a long face and a wide forehead, eyes like an eagle, and a thin figure, but with broad shoulders and back. When the light was on, two clusters of captivating golden light appeared in his pupils, as if his eyeballs were golden.
From a distance, even the hair on top of his head looked slightly burnt yellow, and his temples were gray. He was at least fifty years old. His hands were hidden in his robe sleeves, and an invisible aura was surging from his body, which was even more terrifying.
This man's face was also unusual, with a protruding forehead and a domed chin, which was exactly the appearance of an emperor as described in physiognomy books.
The man was dressed in brocade clothes and had a rain hat on his head. He took a steady step with the gait of a dragon and a tiger and sat down in the shadow.
Shangguan Xian'er seemed to have seen this person for the first time. She looked calm as usual. She made a cup of tea for the visitor and handed it to him respectfully.
The man took the tea and took a sip. Raising his sharp eyes, he said calmly, "My Shangguan clan has always had a high probability of producing a sibling. Besides your father and I, most other members of the clan are also like this. But the only ones who have truly achieved something, and have made a name for themselves, are you two sisters, and us two brothers."
The man's feet were together, and although his clothes were ordinary, his boots were not of the Central Plains style.
"Alas, it's a pity I'm late." The man suddenly sighed and said, "Back then, your father was arrogant and self-confident, confident of his extraordinary talent. He looked down on the small, exotic nation of the Jinpeng Dynasty and was determined to shine in the Central Plains . So he took his family and ran away in anger. He disappeared for more than ten years. When we heard from him again, the Jinqian Gang had already swept across the Central Plains. But before we could find him, we received news of his death. Life is truly unpredictable."
Shangguan Xian'er lowered her eyes, like an obedient younger generation.
The man raised his voice and said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, the Jinpeng Dynasty is now under my control. The masters in the court all obey my orders, and the elite are also at my disposal. No one can bully you anymore."
Shangguan Xian'er whispered, "Thank you, uncle. I will obey you in everything."
It turned out that this person was Shangguan Jinhong's brother.
The man nodded and said, "That's good. Now is an unprecedented opportunity. Once we control the 'Money Gang' and the 'World Alliance', we will have complete control over the martial arts world of the thirteen provinces. We can restore the unparalleled power of the Money Gang in the past, and your father will finally rest in peace."
As he spoke, he suddenly stopped drinking tea and turned his head to look. He saw a spark rising rapidly in the night sky outside the window. From a distance, it looked like a red star hanging in the sky.
"This is a signal from the Azure Dragon Society. It seems they are already gathering and preparing."
After saying this, the man narrowed his eyes and frowned, pondering for a moment, "It's almost time. I shouldn't stay here too long. I have also arranged for people in the city to wait until dawn. Don't miss such a good opportunity."
After saying that, the man raised his hand and threw the teacup. The lamp flickered, as if a strong wind was blowing past. In the changing light and darkness, only Shangguan Xian'er was left in the room. The teacup fell as light as paper, without any sound.
Shangguan Xian'er finally raised her eyes and chuckled meaningfully, "Haha, are they trying to revive the former power of the Jinqian Gang? I'm afraid they'll seize the opportunity to take control of the Central Plains. They're all incredibly ambitious indeed."
She sighed continuously, as if she was worried about Shangguan Xiaoxian's situation and herself.
These masters emerge in endlessly, each one is better at hiding and pretending than the other. Shangguan Xiaoxian is now attacked from all sides. Not only does he have to face an unprecedented enemy, but he also has to deal with his own people. His chances of winning are becoming increasingly slim.
"I hope... the man she chooses can live up to his expectations."
※※※
The wind and rain outside the window have not stopped. The rain is fast at first and then slows down, like a ball of sorrow that cannot be cut off or torn apart.
And in the wind and rain, a pair of eyes slowly opened in the dim rain atmosphere.
Li Muchan.
He just stood on the roof, motionless, his clothes dry, like a stubborn stone, no one knew when he came, and no one knew how much he had heard that he shouldn't have heard.
Li Muchan raised his eyelids and looked down at the dark shadow that was fleeing out of the city like a ghost in the darkness.
His eyes were dark as he thought to himself, "Golden Peng Dynasty? I didn't expect it to appear in this way. And judging by the looks of it, they're planning to use Shangguan Xian'er to seize power?"
In fact, Li Muchan just managed to reach Luoyang, but he unexpectedly sensed an unusual aura sneaking into the Jinqian Gang's headquarters. He thought it was a master of the Qinglong Society, but he didn't expect such a thing to happen.
Seeing the black shadow drifting away, Li Muchan made a decision. Suddenly, the hair on his back floated into the air, and his feet slowly left the ground. In the wind and rain, he flew in the air like a dragon in the direction where the black shadow left, shocking everyone.
"You actually want to take over the Central Plains . Haha, you're really brave. It seems that the Jinpeng Dynasty is not far from national destruction."
When he first saw this man's face, even he himself was shocked and almost thought that Shangguan Jinhong was faking his death.
After all, Li Muchan had already learned that there were several miraculous medicines in this world, so if the other party was really Shangguan Jinhong, it was not completely impossible.
Unexpectedly, this person turned out to be Shangguan Jinhong's brother, and it seemed that his identity was not simple. It seemed that he was either powerful or had absolute power in the Jinpeng Dynasty, or he might even be the emperor of that small country.
Sure enough, no one with the surname Shangguan is simple.
If the Money Gang hadn't reappeared and the Shangguan sisters hadn't risen to prominence, this person would have been forced to suppress his ambitions and desires. But now that the situation has shifted, the other party must have seen an opportunity and wanted to insert themselves into the various factions to showcase their ambitions.
That being said, there should be allies.
After all, the Demon Cult, which was so powerful, failed in the end and was defeated completely. The Jinpeng Dynasty is just a tiny country. Without any allies, how could it dare to take risks, and even sneak into Luoyang without anyone noticing and deploy troops at this moment.
Li Muchan moved as fast as flying, with his arms outstretched and one foot suspended in the air. As he breathed in and out, from a distance it looked as if his feet were not touching the ground, as he was floating in the wind and rain.
His mind raced, and he quickly guessed an 80% to 90% answer.
"Could this person's ally be Bai Yujing?"
In the current situation, with several forces in the Central Plains competing with each other, who would dare to join in the fight? If you want to break the deadlock, you can only find a way outside the Central Plains.
Bai Yujing is undoubtedly the least powerful among them. If he wants to gain a foothold and get rid of those people, he will definitely need strong support.
Drive out the wolf and devour the tiger.
Li Muchan couldn't help but feel surprised. This man was exactly like him back then, weighing and maneuvering between several forces. Not only did he betray Zhu Si, but now it seemed that he was ready to betray the eight eunuchs. This man must be the other party's backup plan.
Just after a chase, the figure that should have been far away became clear again.
This person acted extremely cautiously, wearing a mask on his face. While running and flying, he did not forget to pay attention to the movements of the forces in all directions. In addition, his realm was extraordinary, so neither the people from the Money Gang nor the Qinglong Society who passed by him noticed him at all.
Li Muchan seemed to be integrated into the wind and rain, following the other person silently.
The two of them walked out of Luoyang City and went north for several miles until they reached a valley, where they saw the other person stop and fall.
Li Muchan looked at it carefully and laughed immediately.
I saw a man sitting cross-legged in a thatched cottage at the foot of the mountain. Who else could it be but Bai Yujing?
Outside the thatched cottage, on the mountains and hills, there were elite masters ready to go.
