Invincible!

Chapter 30 Storms
"Universal unity!?"

Lijiang City, Yue King's Palace.

Yan Kaigui, who was closely monitoring the situation at Canglang Mountain, received the news immediately. Enraged, he smashed the white jade porcelain cup, worth three hundred taels of silver, on the ground, shattering it into pieces.

"Is there no justice left?!"

The Crown Prince of Yue gritted his teeth, his face a mixture of shock and anger.

Standing before him was Bai Yupan, one of the four Blood Rejuvenation and Marrow Cleansing Realm experts who had pledged allegiance to the Yue King's Mansion.

He also found this news very troublesome, but still said, "Even if Zhou Juechen has comprehended the unity of primordial chaos and is flawless, it will still take time for him to reach the level of Commander Zhang. It should not be difficult for Commander Zhang to deal with him. As long as we gather our forces and rush in, we can still kill them with a flurry of blows."

Gather manpower and swarm in?

The Great Zhou imperial family enjoyed four hundred years of peace and had hundreds of princes. Therefore, there were strict restrictions on the number of troops that local princes could command. If a prince had more than three hundred guards or more than ten sets of armor, it would be considered treason.

With 120 guards and 160 imperial guards, the Prince of Yueyang's palace was theoretically more than capable of besieging Li Xian and Zhou Juechen.

but……

Yan Kaigui did not reply, but instead fell into deep thought.

He thought of the Canglang Sword Sect, where Xuan Tie Daoist had made the same solemn vow.

But the result...

If it weren't for the fact that his father bestowed upon him the Golden Light Talisman because of Yan Shuirou, he would probably have died on Canglang Mountain.

That Mr. Li...

You actually dared to kill him!
And once they started, they didn't hesitate at all!

Nearly three hundred people came out in full force; what a commotion that was!
Zhou Juechen and Li Xian weren't fools; they were waiting for them to encircle and annihilate them at their base.

In case they temporarily avoid confrontation and instead carry out assassination, he doesn't have a second Golden Light Talisman.

Thinking of that golden talisman, he then thought of the Dragon Gate Token on his person, and thinking of the Dragon Gate Token naturally brought to mind the leap over the Dragon Gate...

"Yes, I have already leaped over the dragon gate and will surely go to a wider world in the future!"

With this thought in mind, his mind suddenly cleared.

"Those who have crossed the Dragon Gate in the past, even the worst among them, have already achieved the Transformation of Emptiness into True Reality and cultivated True Qi. Those who are slightly more outstanding have even defied the innate and lived to be sixty years old. Since I have already transformed from a snake into a dragon and ascended to heaven in one step, why should I use my precious body to fight to the death with reckless martial artists like Li Xian and Zhou Juechen who have wasted their lives in the mud?!"

Despite Zhang Shuheng having the advantage in cultivation.

Despite the white jade plate's confidence.

Despite the large number of people and powerful forces in the Yue King's Palace.

but……

A son of a wealthy family should not sit under a dangerous roof.

He already had a bright future ahead of him, and even if there was only a sliver of a chance, he shouldn't risk his life by staying in the palace and fighting to the death with two peasants.

"We are destined to be from different worlds! After I have diligently cultivated for five years and returned in a high position, commanding troops and generals, wouldn't it be as easy as turning my hand to kill these two arrogant scoundrels who have no regard for their dignity?!"

Having understood this, Yan Kaigui stood up abruptly: "I entrust my father with the entire matter of avenging my sister and restoring the dignity of the royal family. Prepare the horses; I am heading to the capital to await the Dragon Gate Assembly!"

……

Horse riding is not something to be enjoyed.

Fortunately, riding two hundred miles was not a hardship for Li Xian, who was undergoing a blood transfusion and marrow cleansing.

They set off in the afternoon, rested in a small town along the way, and continued their journey the next day, returning to Lijiang City near dusk.

When they arrived at Longquan Martial Arts School, Hongyu had already dismissed all her disciples.

This was to prevent retaliation from the Prince's Mansion and harm to innocent people.

Besides Hongyu, there were more than ten other people waiting at the martial arts school.

These dozen or so people were all vigorous and strong, with well-developed muscles and bones.

Two of the middle-aged men, in particular, had long, deep breaths, as if they had reached the point of internal lung and abdominal cultivation.

These are all skilled fighters from the Zhou family.

As a powerful clan that occupies the Li River region, the Zhou family naturally has more than just Zhou Juechen among its martial artists.

Besides the dozen or so people already there, it wouldn't be difficult to gather another thirty or forty able-bodied young men who had mastered the skills.

"Ninth Uncle."

"Ninth Brother, you've arrived."

"Juechen, you sent a message via eagle claiming that you've comprehended the Primordial Chaos and entered the state of perfect perfection? Is that true?!"

As soon as Zhou Juechen arrived, everyone surrounded him.

However, the two elders, who were skilled in internal cultivation, turned their attention to Li Xian.

"This must be Li Xian, the talented scholar and martial artist of Lijiang... Master Li Xian, right? He truly has a dignified appearance and extraordinary demeanor!"

One of them greeted him with a cupped-hand salute. Mr. Li nodded politely, "You flatter me."

Zhou Juechen understood that Li Xian had no intention of joining the Zhou family.

Although he accepted the investment, it seemed that the investment was only for him.

The two should not be confused.

He immediately said, "Alright, you don't need to stay here! Go back! You can't be of any help to me here."

After saying that, he turned to the middle-aged man who had greeted him: "Fourth Uncle, have you told my father yet? If things don't go well, break up into smaller groups as soon as possible! But I believe that before they deal with us, the Prince's Mansion won't dare to attack our Zhou family compound so recklessly."

"Don't worry, the patriarch has already made the arrangements."

The middle-aged man's eyes gleamed: "If our Zhou family can withstand this round of pressure, the Zhou family will surely advance further, and the five major forces in Lijiang will become six competing forces."

Zhou Juechen nodded: "Then keep a close eye on the movements at the Prince's residence, and report any unusual activity immediately."

"clear."

"Go ahead, we don't need anyone here. The fewer people we have, the easier it is for us to move around."

Zhou Juechen said.

After hearing this, the dozen or so people stopped insisting and soon left one by one.

After everyone left, Zhou Juechen said, "It will take one or two days, or three to five days, for someone from the Prince's Mansion to send a challenge letter. Of course, if the challenge letter does not arrive in three to five days, it means that they have invited strong reinforcements and are waiting for them to arrive. In that case, the situation will be quite unfavorable for us."

In a world that possesses immense power, even grudges and conflicts are handled according to established rules.

The most common method is for top-tier fighters to duel or fight to the death.

If the top combatants of each other are not dealt with in a deadly battle first, and a rash attack is launched, the other side will retaliate indiscriminately, and the casualties will inevitably spread greatly.

Because top-tier combatants can overturn the table at any time, high-level martial artists in this world naturally carry weight. No official or noble person naively believes that they can completely crush a high-level martial artist through power, righteousness, or threats.

"It's alright. How can you discover your own limits without going through fierce battles?"

Li Xian calmly replied.

Zhou Juechen smiled upon hearing this, but did not refute it.

Hongyu, who hadn't left yet and was still by her side, glanced at her master, then at Li Xian...

Having already learned of the news about Canglang Mountain, she never imagined that Li Xian, who had just gone out, would cause such a big problem.

simply……

She had nothing to say.

"You can stay in the West Courtyard for the next few days, which will make it easier for you to practice martial arts. I'll have someone bring your things from Qingmo Alley."

Zhou Juechen said something to Li Xian.

"it is good."

Li responded.

Calculate the time...

The lease for the courtyard in Qingmo Lane is about to expire.

"You'll keep watch tonight."

Zhou Juechen then gave Hongyu another instruction.

"Yes."

Hongyu agreed.

Seeing Li Xian walk towards the west courtyard, she couldn't help but ask, "Young Master Li... you... you really underwent a blood transfusion and marrow cleansing?"

"Correct."

Li Xian nodded slightly.

Hearing him admit it himself, even though Hongyu was mentally prepared, she was still speechless, as if she had shut herself off.

Seeing this, Zhou Juechen seemed to understand her feelings: "The world of geniuses is destined to be beyond our comprehension. Think about the few immortal talents selected by the Great Zhou Dynasty. These people can directly set their sights on entering the Dao..."

He sighed with some emotion: "We martial artists, after undergoing blood and marrow cleansing, still need to achieve complete physical perfection, refine the void into truth, open all meridians, and reverse our innate nature before we can be considered to have a solid foundation and be qualified to enter the Dao through martial arts. But this... is the first step in their cultivation. Although not every promising immortal can take this step smoothly, their starting point is the destination that 99% of martial artists can never reach in their lifetime. Who can we complain to about this!"

Hongyu looked at her master with a helpless expression after hearing this.

She had no idea whether her master was trying to persuade her or discouraging her.

"When I went to Canglang Mountain this time, I saw many heroes and heroines, but they were all only at the bone and muscle level. You have already done a great job of cultivating your internal organs."

Li Xian also chimed in with a word of encouragement.

Hongyu covered her face and said, "I understand, please stop talking."

After saying that, he hurriedly ran to the inner courtyard: "I'm going to check on how the dinner and medicinal cuisine preparations are going."
