Volume 1: The Swordsman of the East Chapter 72 Dongfang Enters the Palace
After the banquet, Chengde Hall.
Dongfang Qing sat upright on the throne, his eyes filled with contemplation.
"Three gifts? Could it be...?"
Dongfang Qing looked surprised and instantly thought of the situation he encountered in Huashan.
A group of soldiers were ordered to copy martial arts books.
"Hiss! If that's the case, then it's really sad!"
He still had more than a hundred unused mission points. If he took this opportunity, he could record all the martial arts books of the major sects in his mind.
Once his comprehension improves, he might be able to directly break through the sixth extraordinary meridian.
If the opportunity is sufficient, I am afraid that this time I will be able to break through the eight extraordinary meridians and step into the innate threshold.
"But the Emperor..."
Thinking of what the emperor had done, Dongfang Qing became deeply worried about himself.
"Ah... I'm really worried about being too beautiful!"
"I always feel that everyone wants to..."
Dongfang Qing sighed deeply.
But there are only more than eight months left for the survival mission. The sects in the world are scattered all over the world and there are people guarding them, so the time is really not enough.
If things go wrong, it might even cause chaos in the martial arts world!
Not only are there more complete things in the palace, but you can also get them just by opening your mouth, without any trouble at all.
I just need to deal with the emperor!
His fighting power is incredible. Who else can push him down without his consent?
It seems that I need to go to the palace. It would be a waste not to take advantage of a bargain that is right in front of me .
Anyway, his martial arts skills are high enough, he can come and go without a trace, and even if he is surrounded in the palace, he can easily escape.
"Well... that's how it is done. It's a bit unkind. Never mind. We've already had tea many times, so this one won't make any difference!"
After making the decision, Dongfang Qing instantly became excited.
Three gifts!
He only guessed one, and there are two more, so they probably won't be too bad.
That’s too bad. The emperor probably won’t even call me over.
"Hurry up and get going. Strive to advance to the Xiantian level within eight months and completely complete the survival mission. Everything will be fine!"
Thinking of this, Dongfang Qing began to browse the latest intelligence and grasp the dynamics of all parties.
"Five Mountains, Shaolin, Wudang, Kongtong, Kunlun...hiss! Are these dozen martial arts sects holding a martial arts conference here?"
"No, let's go to the palace first! If all else fails, just take shelter in the palace. The survival mission doesn't require any instructions on how to survive anyway!"
Thinking of this, Dongfang Qing arranged everything and headed straight for the capital.
Just as Dongfang Qing was about to set off, the leaders of the major sects were also holding a meeting on Mount Song.
"Everyone! The court has rashly broken the long-standing rules this time, and they must have some big plans!"
"If we continue to be so careless, we will surely encounter an even greater disaster!"
"I, Zuo Lengchan, solemnly warn you all that the Wulin Alliance cannot be delayed!"
Zuo Lengchan's voice, mixed with his inner strength, resounded throughout Songshan Square.
The leaders of the major sects whispered to each other and nodded in agreement.
Suddenly, someone spoke up and shouted, "Then who should sit as the leader of the martial arts world?"
"That's right! The position of the leader of the martial arts world is not trivial, you all need to discuss it carefully!"
"I think Shaolin Master Fang Zheng should be the leader of the martial arts world!"
"I support Taoist Master Chongxu of Wudang. Back then, Master Zhang suppressed the martial arts world for a hundred years and had an agreement with the imperial court. I support Wudang as the leader!"
“…”
Voices rang out one after another.
The whole scene suddenly became lively.
"Everyone, the leader of the martial arts world should be able to convince everyone. On the one hand, the martial arts must also convince everyone. I think we can have a martial arts competition to decide who will be the leader of the martial arts world!"
"Yes! Let's decide the winner in a duel!"
"I approve of the jousting!"
The sounds came one after another, continuously.
There are more than a thousand people in the entire square. If the noise continues, it will probably take a few days to get to any conclusion.
But at this moment.
"Report! Something big has happened to the Sun Moon Demon Sect!"
A disciple dressed in the clothes of a Songshan disciple ran in from outside the square.
It immediately attracted everyone's attention.
"Reporting to the headmaster, the emperor has issued an imperial decree to summon Dongfang Bubai, saying that there are three gifts to be presented, and... I heard that the emperor admires Dongfang Bubai very much!"
“Puff…”
“Puff…”
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire square was filled with the sound of people spitting tea.
Everything was stagnant.
The supreme ruler of a country actually admires a man from the underworld.
"That's not right! Why would the emperor admire Dongfang Bubai?"
"Yes! If that's the case, we can just unite and offer a few to please the emperor. Why bother with a big fight?"
"Yes! There's no need to start a war. It's thousands of miles away, too far."
"That's right. If you can please the Emperor, you might even be able to obtain the Royal Secret Book!"
“…”
Discussions quickly unfolded, and many people were thinking that if they could avoid fighting, they should do so. After all, they would be the ones who would suffer if they went against the court.
"Everyone!" Zuo Lengchan stood up, glanced around and said, "I guess you don't know that Dongfang Bubai is extremely beautiful and can be called the most beautiful woman in the world. Is there anyone who can confirm her identity?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire square suddenly became quiet.
Dongfang Bubai was originally a member of the Demonic Cult, so how could they know his identity?
Moreover, when they saw him in the past, he was less than 20 years old and relied on light skills to remain undefeated. Even if most people had not seen it, they had heard of it.
But at that time, Dongfang Bubai had red lips and white teeth and was extremely handsome.
Now that I think about it, no one dares to confirm Dongfang Bubai's identity.
Even Heyang Town, where the Dongfang family was located, was exterminated by various sects fighting for the immortal items.
After fifteen or sixteen years, even if we investigate thoroughly, we may not be able to find out the true identity of Dongfang Bubai.
"Is there any accurate information from within the Demon Cult?" someone asked.
If one wants to find accurate information about Dongfang Bubai, one can only check from within the Demon Cult.
"No! Tong Baixiong is the only one who was good friends with Dongfang Bubai. How could I remember the others ? I don't know how many generations of disciples they have had!"
"Moreover, when we were fighting against the Demon Cult, most of the disciples were killed. Who could have imagined that this day would come!"
"So, no one can confirm the exact identity of Dongfang Bubai?"
"If this is true, then the martial arts world will be in trouble."
"Yes, yes! Once the Demon Cult gains power, with the Emperor's son backing them up, who in the entire martial arts world would dare to mess with them?"
There was a lot of discussion.
The leaders of more than a dozen sects were a little at a loss.
"Everyone, we must unite and advance and retreat together, otherwise what awaits us will be destruction!"
"I agree!"
"I agree too!"
“…”
They were surprisingly unanimous. No matter which gang it was, they would not be able to sit idly by and watch the Demon Cult prosper.
"Yes! Select a martial arts leader to lead everyone to defeat the evil sect!"
"Yes! We must seize the opportunity to kill Dongfang Bubai, otherwise it will be a catastrophe for the entire martial arts world!"
"Okay! Then let's do as you say. We will have a duel to select the leader of the martial arts world, and together we will defeat the Demon Cult and kill Dongfang Bubai!"
“…”
With the pressure, the martial arts conference in the next few days went surprisingly smoothly.
Dongfang Bubai didn't have the ability to see and hear from afar, so it was impossible for him to know all this.
Moreover, even if he knew, it would be useless because he had already arrived at the gate of the palace.
The dignified Emperor Zhu Houzhao had already placed his ceremonial staff at the gate of the palace and was waiting.
At this moment, Dongfang Qing, dressed in a green robe, appeared.
His footsteps seemed to have been measured, and the distance of each step was exactly the same.
The flawless face, which was still flushed from walking, and the charm that was revealed invisibly were so attractive that people could not help themselves.
Especially those eyes, as silky and misty as a clear spring. When they blink, it's like a beauty whispering in her ear.
Looking at Dongfang Bubai like this, Zhu Houzhao's eyes were full of admiration.
He stared at Dongfang Bubai for a long time before shouting enthusiastically:
"Master Dongfang, you are finally here!"
