Those fifty Thousand Revolution School Commanders didn't even have time to show their might before An Zheng killed all of them by himself.
On the other side, the scene was even more shocking.
Old Huo held a wine jug in his hand as he stood high above, in high spirits: "Come come come, let me show you one of the little gifts I've prepared for you."
He threw out the wooden box that he was holding in his other hand. The wooden box opened up in midair and a torrential rain of items spilled out. Each one of them was brilliant and was only the size of a soybean. In fact, it really looked like a full bean. These soybeans fell from the sky and rolled on the ground in a 'gulu gulu' sound.
On the other side of the main entrance, more than two thousand martial artists were shocked when they saw the spilled beans. No one knew what was going on.
Old Huo squinted his eyes and said two words.
"Divine Weapon!"
As he spoke to himself, all the soybeans on the ground changed.
After a series of "kacha kacha" sounds, something the size of a soybean began to extend and turn into a wooden figure one by one. Every single one of these wooden figures had a faint green glow on their chest area. When the densely packed wooden puppets appeared in front of the martial artists, their expressions immediately changed. The wooden body started to move, and turned around to face the martial artists. With the Old Huo pointing forward, the wooden body army started to move forward neatly.
All of the martial artists were scared. This was simply a miracle!
For so many years, the Old Huo had concealed her name. Almost no one in the martial arts world remembered that Da Xi had a master craftsman. There were also very few people who knew how powerful a peak crafting master was.
The wooden puppets began to attack. Although they weren't powerful, there were too many of them. In an instant, it was as if the tide had turned the group of martial artists into a mess. Flesh and blood flew into the air, and bits of wood flew into the air. Those Jiang Hu cultivators retreated as they were suppressed, and the more they fought, the more disheartened they became. Wooden men were lifeless. If they were broken, they would be broken, but they had them. If they died, they wouldn't be revived.
The scene instantly turned strange. In just a short span of ten minutes, the large group of martial artists had been completely wiped out. After leaving a few hundred corpses on the ground, they fled in a sorry state. Those wood puppets orderly returned before turning into a golden light and returning to the wooden box.
Old Huo caught the wooden box and poured a mouthful of wine into his mouth. "After this, I probably won't be able to live a peaceful life."
On the other side, the hundred so-called experts that were gathered together were also defeated by Fang Daozhi and Wang Kaitai in an instant.
The strength of the Fanggu's martial arts world seemed to have instantly collapsed.
Roughly a few hundred meters away from the battlefield, two Old Taoist s stood there with ugly expressions on their faces.
"Seems like it has exceeded my expectations."
A Old Taoist with a white beard sighed, "No matter what, I would never have thought that such a small sect would actually have crouching tigers and hidden dragons. See that old man? There was actually such a person in this world who could seize the good fortune of the heaven and earth like this. Sending beans to become soldiers is a legend of our Dao Sect. However, our Dao Sect has never used such a method before. "Now that I have seen it with my own eyes, I know how big the world is and how far away the martial arts world is."
"Xu Baimei, you seem to want to retreat?"
another old man with a black beard asked.
Xu Baimei turned to look at him. "Zhou Jiuji, could it be that you want to make a move?"
After a moment of silence, Zhou Jiuji asked, "What did the ancestors of the Tai-tai-tai-tai-tai-tai-tai-tai-tao dream of? Now that the opportunity was right in front of him, was he going to give it up just like that? In my opinion, no matter how many crouching tigers and hidden dragons there are in the Heavenly Awakening Sect, they are already spent. Can such a small sect like theirs really fight against an imperial court? "
Xu Baimei laughed coldly: "The imperial government? There is still a government in the State of Yan? "
Zhou Jiuji shook his head. "No matter what, I don't want to give up this opportunity."
Xu Baimei was slightly angry. "In the future, when the Empress Dowager Su holds the power, even if the Tai-tai-tai-tai-tai-tai-tai-tai-tao becomes the Orthodoxy, what meaning does it have? That woman would not last long. Sooner or later, she would become the dust of history. You plan to bet all of Tai-tai-tai-tai-tai-tai-tai-tai-tao on her, and at that time, you will be the sinner of Tai-tai-tai-tai-tai-tai-tai-tai-tao! "
Zhou Jiuji fell into a longer silence, and then he sighed, "There are three thousand Buddhist countries in the Western Regions, and the strength of the Buddhist Sect is unmatched. Looking at our Central Plains, the Dao Sect has a long history but has never been taken seriously. I just want a starting point. With this starting point, the Dao Sect might really be able to flourish. "It's just like the Buddhist kingdoms in the Western Regions. It's known for thousands of years and will never weaken."
Xu Baimei: "You are heading in the wrong direction … "You're thinking too simply."
Zhou Jiuji turned around to look at the young Taoist standing not far behind him, "I had originally thought that our generation would not be enough, and that there would be Feng Xiuyang's generation as well. But look at Feng Xiuyang, he has already lost his soul, and seems to have become a different person. "
Xu Baimei said, "We aren't old yet, but we can still nurture a younger and more outstanding generation. The more chaotic the country, the less an opportunity for us. Could it be that the prosperity of the Buddhist Sect was spread through a chaotic world? No, by the peace of Golden Age. The more stable a country is, the faster and more stable the spread of doctrine. Those sects that thought they could make use of this chaotic world would be eliminated sooner or later. "The longer it is peaceful, the more people will look for faith …"
Zhou Jiuji said, "I'm afraid that I won't be able to wait any longer."
"However …"
His tone changed, "I can't keep Feng Xiuyang here. I keep having the feeling that something is wrong with him. Recently, he has always been heading towards the Treasure Tower, not coming out day after day. And his eyes have changed too, and his behavior is even more abnormal. "
Xu Baimei stayed silent for a while before saying, "Heavenly Awakening Sect released news, saying that Swallow King has been controlled by some silver needle insect technique from Embroidery Palace … Feng Xiuyang, he? "
Zhou Jiu Ji said: "So we cannot keep this person here. Letting him kill An Zheng would be an explanation to the Embroidery Palace. If An Zheng kills him, it will not be a bad thing for our Tai-tai-tai-tai-tai-tai-tai-tai-tao. Without Feng Xiuyang and Ding Wanqiu, in terms of talent, Ding Wanqiu will not lose to him. "
After a moment of silence, Xu Baimei said: "Many people are watching the movements of our Tai-tai-tai-tai-tai-tai-tai-tai-tao. Even our Great Cauldron Academy is not moving, we cannot act rashly. Su Pei, that cunning fox is the trusted aide of the Empress Dowager Su, he has yet to take action, what are we worrying about? What you said is right, let Feng Xiuyang go and fight An Zheng, it doesn't matter if he loses or wins, it doesn't matter if he dies. But at least it gave Empress Dowager Su an attitude. If Empress Dowager Su loses in the end, then this matter will not be done by Tai-tai-tai-tai-tai-tai-tai-tai-tao, but a personal grudge between Feng Xiuyang and himself. Feng Xiuyang is our Tai-tai-tai-tai-tai-tai-tai-tai-tao's abandoned disciple. "
Zhou Jiuji nodded, "You have thought it through thoroughly. In short, the Tai-tai-tai-tai-tai-tai-tai-tai-tao can leave this matter at any time, and can seize the initiative at the most crucial time …"
Xu Baimei waved her hand. "Just watch. Others aren't in a rush, so why should we be?"<
br />
Zhou Jiuji turned around, walked towards Feng Xiuyang and said a few words to him. Feng Xiuyang made a sound of acknowledgement, and left without any expression.
At the same time, within the Embroidery Palace.
Empress Dowager Su walked to the side of the black-robed old man: "What's wrong? "I see that you are frowning."
She gently raised her hand and gently rubbed the old man's brow, "It's not that serious. It's just a few gangsters. I have always been thinking, if the Fanggu really becomes chaotic, then isn't it just chaos now? Mu Changyan had already lost all meaning. There was no difference between dying a few months earlier and dying a few months later. "I've already had someone spread the news that Lifei is already pregnant. After planning out the date, I'll give the child to her …"
"Shut up!"
The black-robed old man suddenly raised his head, his eyes sharp: "That is my child!"
Empress Dowager Su smiled and squatted: "It's yours, no one can take it away. But isn't that our plan? I have come to power for twenty years, and twenty years later, I will hand over the great swallow to our children. I know that for you, this is a bit unfair because the child still has to bear the surname Mu … But what did it matter? great swallow is your son, this cannot be changed. "
The black-robed elder was silent for a long time. "Your ambitions are making me feel more and more afraid."
Empress Dowager Su said: "But, I have never lied to you before?"
The black clad old man continued, "After the incident with Fang Zheng in the Mount Cang Man, more and more people died. I kept on having a feeling that there was a pair of eyes just looking at me like that, to the point that my hair was standing on end. You killed one after another. What I'm afraid of is that sooner or later, you'll kill me too. "
He suddenly raised his hand and ripped off the leather mask on his face. "I've had enough. My child is my child. I just want to give him a fair and square identity."
He … It was actually Zhuge Chouyun!
Empress Dowager Su's palm gently brushed past Zhuge Chouyun's face. "Alright, I promise you … Give me twenty years of time. Twenty years is enough to change the great swallow. When the time comes, even if the news is out, how many people who dare to oppose us will still be alive? With my brain and your ability, can't you kill those who dare to go against me even after twenty years? Zhuge... Believe me, you're the only one in my heart. Even if there wasn't the incident with Great Xi Fang Zheng back then, I would still have killed Swallow King and you together. "
Her words were soft, and her eyes were lovely.
Zhuge Chouyun stiffened for a good while, but finally softened. "You … Why was this difficult? Even if your family did not treat you well in the past, you just need not interact with them in the future. There's no need for you to do that. "
Empress Dowager Su's expression changed and she flung her sleeves: "I can't do it, how did they treat me back then? Take away everything I have, and marry me off to an old fellow who's about to die, how can I not avenge this enmity?! "
Zhuge Chouyun muttered: "Old fellow..."
Empress Dowager Su hurriedly turned around and once again became gentle as if she had changed her expression: "How can he compare to you? "Don't think too much about it. As I said before, I want to be with you."
Zhuge Chouyun waved her hand: "Forget it, what path of retreat do I have now? If this were to spread, my reputation would be ruined. As for the Tai-tai-tai-tai-tai-tai-tai-tai-tao, don't give up hope, they already have their suspicions to Feng Xiuyang who was sent to kill An Zheng. "
Empress Dowager Su laughed: "Isn't this good news? With the death of a clown like An Zheng, the people by his side also dispersed. What I'm worried about is never the Heavenly Awakening Sect who can't get on the stage, but those families who have always been the most compatible with me, both on the surface and in the dark. But in the future, they wouldn't be missing any of them … How about this, how many of the things that we maintain in Embroidery Palace are released? "
Zhuge Chouyun remained silent for a while, before nodding: "Whatever, it's time they showed themselves. Hurry up and destroy the Heavenly Awakening Sect, kill that Mu Qidao, and then, you can wield power. I'm already too tired. "
Empress Dowager Su gently said: "In the future, when I come to rule, even if you don't show your face, you are still a true king."
Zhuge Chouyun's face changed, her eyes were filled with confusion.
And just at this time, An Zheng had already quietly left the Heavenly Awakening Sect, and was heading towards them.
Chapter 270 - Feng Xiuyang's Peach Wood Sword
An Zheng took advantage of the time when the Nine Hell Magic Bell s had killed all the martial artists to leave the Heavenly Awakening Sect. The Heavenly Awakening Sect had the Old Huo, Wang Kaitai, Tan Taiche and the rest, and with Gu Chaotong in the middle leading, relying on those weak little sects, they were not a threat to the Heavenly Awakening Sect. As long as large sects like the Tai-tai-tai-tai-tai-tai-tai-tai-tao or big families in the imperial court did not take action, the Heavenly Awakening Sect would be as stable as a mountain range.
It was because he was worried that these people would have some sort of change, that An Zheng decided to leave quietly.
In the backyard located a few hundred meters away from Embroidery Palace, An Zheng squatted down below the walls and checked his equipment.
With Depressing Sword s, with Nine Hell Magic Bell s, with Holy Fish Scale s, with two lifetimes of twin trees, and with many other magical equipment. There was not much of the sword intent left on the Depressing Sword. After all, he had already used it twice. However, it shouldn't be a problem to deal with it once more. With the strength of that legendary martial artist, it was enough to shock everyone.
The Nine Hell Magic Bell gave An Zheng enough surprises, An Zheng didn't know whether this kind of demonic equipment would affect a person's personality or not. But from the looks of it, he didn't seem to have changed at all.
The Holy Fish Scale had extraordinary defense, while the Twin Life Trees were able to cause An Zheng to teleport in an instant.
With these things, even if it was a dragon's lagoon or tiger's den, they would still dare to give it a try. Moreover, with An Zheng's personality, he never knew how to write things after caving in.
An Zheng was used to distributing the good things to everyone. Last time he killed Li Changlu, he obtained an Invisibility Cloak, an unknown scroll, and some other things for himself. The Invisibility Cloak was given to Gu Qianye, and the scroll to Qu Liuxi. Later, Zaocang Zhuang Feifei also gave Gu Qianye a scroll, but she should be researching how to copy it from the Old Huo.
An Zheng thought for a while. If he could not handle the things he brought with him right now, there was no point in bringing more. As for the signal that Xu Meidai left for him to call for help, he left it at Heavenly Awakening Sect and gave it to Gu Chaotong.
There was no Invisibility Cloak, and there was also the Yaksha Umbrella's sub-umbrella.
An Zheng had asked Chen Shaobai before, that the original body of the yaksha umbrella could remain invisible for a whole two hours. In addition, those who were powerful in cultivation might be able to see through it. Therefore, An Zheng decided not to use it for now, and to talk about it after entering the Embroidery Palace.
An Zheng took a deep breath, and told himself that it was fine.
He thought back to when he had just joined the Ming Fa Si, and the same mentality he had now. He was a little nervous, but full of fighting spirit.
He opened the door from the back of the house and went out, closing the door behind him. A few more rows of houses later would be Golden Hall Square, and directly opposite the square would be the Tiantong Palace. They followed the Golden Court Road all the way west, and within a few hundred metres, they reached Embroidery Palace. The Tiantong Palace was separated from the Embroidery Palace by a garden and could directly pass through it. An Zheng pondered for a moment, then left from the back
of the house.
It would be hard to enter the Embroidery Palace directly, but there was no one guarding the Tiantong Palace right now. He climbed up the corner of the wall like a gecko and placed a guard on top of the tower. After tying up the person, he covered his mouth and hid himself. Then, An Zheng casually walked down from the city gate tower.
It had to be said that the current Tiantong Palace made people feel desolate. There didn't seem to be much of a change, but this place was no longer the center of security.
An Zheng left the city gate tower and then snuck into the residence of the eunuchs. Stealthily changing into a set of eunuch's clothes, he walked towards the garden. After walking for a short distance, he saw the lonely Mu Changyan walking toward the garden, step by step. An Zheng turned to the side and hid. He realized that Mu Changyan's footsteps were extremely stiff, as if he was made of wood.
An Zheng's heart was in a mess.
To Empress Dowager Su, the only meaning of Mu Changyan's existence right now was to wait for that child to be born.
Looking at the young king who used to be high-spirited, now in this kind of situation, An Zheng felt very sad in his heart. In truth, Mu Changyan did not do anything wrong, and he was even a very loyal person. He was a pitiful person. Although there were some things he could hate, he had never done anything evil in his life. Such a person shouldn't die.
But Mu Changyan was still being controlled by someone. As long as An Zheng appeared, An Zheng would immediately be exposed.
An Zheng hesitated for a good while, but in the end, he still chose to save Mu Changyan first.
Although An Zheng was too unyielding, he had a lot of experience in the struggle between empires. Very quickly, he changed his original thought and planned to capture Mu Changyan and send him back to the Heavenly Awakening Sect. If Swallow King was still in Heavenly Awakening Sect and he could think of a way to get rid of the Silver Needle Gu worm in his body, then it would bring a lot of initiative to Heavenly Awakening Sect. Fortunately, Qu Liuxi had the Phoenix Cooking Pill Furnace now, so she could find a way.
