Chapter 463 Immortal Mushroom Suppresses Yuan
Just as Su Ye was secretly plotting under the moonlight in Hengzhou, intending to use a strategy of subtle maneuvering to relieve Jia Xu and Yao Guangxiao's predicament.
The sky over Qianyuan County was not peaceful; rather, it was turbulent with wind and clouds, concealing deadly intent.
The four directions are in turmoil, and powerful forces are gathering, all because of one person—Emperor Si Xiaofei of the Great Qian Dynasty. His body is like a magnet, attracting countless greedy and hateful eyes, who want to take this opportunity to bury him in the land of Qianyuan County.
As a key location south of the capital of the Great Qian Dynasty, Qianyuan County, even though it has now been turned into a vast swamp, still cannot hide the calm before the storm. Every gust of wind carries unknown conspiracies and schemes.
At this time, all sorts of speculations and rumors were circulating in the streets and alleys of Qianzhou, the heartland of the Great Qian Dynasty. It was said that Si Xiaofei's trip was actually stepping into a net woven with countless sharp blades, waiting for the right moment to be torn to pieces.
It's a pity that Si Xiaofei brought with him most of the resources of the Great Qian Dynasty's Hall of Worship and even the Imperial Clan Court. He even brought out several old monsters from the Hall of Worship and the Imperial Clan Court!
The Hall of Offerings is a mysterious place in the Great Qian Dynasty, a place where hidden talents and masters abound.
Within it, not only are there powerful beings of the Celestial Realm, but also reclusive old monsters whose cultivation is unfathomable, and whose age is but a fleeting cloud.
This time, Si Xiaofei was able to persuade several old monsters to come out of seclusion and accompany him, which shows his determination and courage.
The Imperial Clan Court is the foundation of the Great Qian imperial family. Its strongest members are pillars of the Great Qian, rarely revealing their abilities. Yet, it is now being used to protect Xiao Fei, demonstrating the high level of importance attached to it.
Thus, within Qianyuan County, though wolves surrounded the area with ill intentions.
However, faced with the unprecedentedly terrifying lineup surrounding Si Xiaofei, they were all intimidated and dared not make any rash moves.
All the factions were making their own plans, but none dared to be the first to show their strength.
Although they were connected, they also distrusted each other, fearing that one wrong move would lead to total defeat and make them easy prey for others.
Meanwhile, on the edge of Yunzhou, in the city of Wudi, Wang Xianzhi stood atop the city wall, gazing at the rolling sea of clouds on the horizon, his heart undisturbed.
He is nearly 100 years old, yet he still stands tall and straight.
At this moment, he held a private letter from Luo Wang tightly in his hand. Wang Xianzhi opened the envelope, and the handwriting on the letter was like dragons and snakes dancing, exuding a sharp aura.
This letter was sent by Su Ye. The young prince is stirring up the winds and clouds of the entire Great Qian Dynasty in an unprecedented manner.
After reading the letter, Wang Xianzhi remained silent for a long time before a faint smile appeared on her lips.
He knew the gravity of the matter and understood that once he got involved, there was no turning back.
But... he ultimately didn't refuse and stepped out of the city where he had lived for decades once again.
"Get ready for a long journey!"
Wang Xianzhi's voice echoed across the empty city wall. He turned to look at the twelve city guards behind him. These twelve were all masters of the martial arts world, and they were enough to form an insurmountable barrier for ordinary people.
"Thirty thousand miles to Qian Yuan, the cold blade reflects the blood-stained imperial robes!"
Wang Xianzhi's words were like a sharp blade in the cold wind, both chilling and resolute.
At Wang Xianzhi's command, several light cavalry units silently left Wudi City like ghosts and disappeared into the vast fog.
"The road ahead is long and unpredictable."
Wang Xianzhi whispered something to himself, and with a few attendants, he quietly embarked on his journey to Qianyuan County.
...
At this moment, on the edge of Yunzhou, maple leaves are as red as fire, covering the ancient road leading to Dongning Pass. Each fallen leaf carries the vicissitudes and stories of the past.
Outside Dongning Pass, the wind rustles the willow branches, and light clouds swirl around. Not far away, an ancient pavilion stands quietly, its roof covered with green tiles and its four corners adorned with upturned eaves. Like a bird about to take flight, an elderly man in a plain robe sat upright in the pavilion.
Zhen Yuanzi wore an elegant blue robe, the hem of which fluttered in the wind, like a gentle breeze in the mountains, untouched by dust.
Although his face bears the marks of time, his eyes remain as bright as ever.
At this moment, he gently held a cup of warm tea in his hand, the aroma of which complemented the surrounding natural scenery, creating a tranquil and serene scene.
In the midst of this tranquility, a series of hurried yet steady footsteps broke the surrounding silence.
"Old friend, long time no see!"
Zhen Yuanzi's voice was gentle and deep, like an ancient tree in spring, carrying a touch of vicissitudes yet full of warmth.
He slightly raised the teacup in his hand as a gesture of welcome.
Upon hearing this, Wang Xianzhi paused involuntarily, his gaze instantly fixed on Zhen Yuanzi in the pavilion.
Decades of trials and tribulations, countless life-or-death struggles, have made him accustomed to the unpredictable nature of the world.
But at this moment, facing this old friend he hadn't seen for many years, an indescribable emotion welled up in his heart.
Time flies, where are my old friends now?
Now, to meet again in this very place, how can one not be filled with countless emotions?
"It's been decades since we last saw each other!"
Wang Xianzhi approached slowly, her voice tinged with a hint of melancholy and nostalgia.
His eyes held a sense of nostalgia for the past.
Although the two old friends had not seen each other for many years, their deep friendship was like a fine wine that only gets better with age.
"Yes, time flies, and in the blink of an eye we have all grown old."
Zhen Yuanzi smiled gently, a smile that contained too many unspeakable emotions.
Upon hearing this, Wang Xianzhi was also filled with emotion.
"As for you, your martial arts skills have become increasingly refined. I've heard about your achievements in martial arts in recent years, and even I am ashamed of myself for not being able to match them."
Zhen Yuanzi waved his hand and laughed heartily.
"Come, old friend, let us toast this reunion with tea instead of wine!"
Then, Zhen Yuanzi gently waved his sleeve, and several exquisite tea sets appeared on the stone table in the pavilion, inviting Wang Xianzhi to drink together.
Wang Xianzhi readily agreed, and the two raised their cups to drink together. The aroma of tea filled the air, and it seemed that even the surrounding air became warmer because of this deep friendship.
At that moment, time seemed to stand still, leaving only the laughter of the two people and the aroma of tea, lingering in the warm breeze of Dongning Pass.
"Hongyun is also in Qianyuan County on this trip."
Not long after, Zhen Yuanzi suddenly spoke.
"Hongyun? I was just wondering why that reckless fellow wasn't walking alongside you."
Wang Xianzhi's words carried a hint of surprise, then a gentle smile appeared on her lips as she teased him.
Mentioning Hongyun, a fellow longtime friend of theirs, stirred a ripple in Wang Xianzhi's heart.
Hongyun's open-mindedness is unmatched by most people in the world. Even someone as experienced as him often admires Hongyun's optimistic and open-minded attitude.
"Yes, Hongyun has that ability. His mindset always allows us to find a bit of fun in difficult situations."
Zhen Yuanzi smiled gently, his eyes full of appreciation and tolerance for Hongyun.
Wang Xianzhi nodded slightly, agreeing with Zhen Yuanzi's words.
He knew that although Hongyun seemed carefree, he was actually a very responsible person.
