The Prodigal Son of Northern Liang: Starting with Signing in to Find the Four Ghosts of Western Huna

He clicked his tongue.

Li Chungang frowned, feeling somewhat uneasy.

After all, we've been together for so long, it would be a lie to say there are no feelings between us.

Xu Fengnian's unconventional personality, in particular, suited Li Chungang's taste perfectly.

Playful bickering is a common occurrence.

But suddenly they say it's a matter of life and death?

Old Li also felt uneasy.

"That shouldn't be... This kid couldn't possibly have left himself no backup plan, could he?" Li Chungang rubbed his temples. "He's the kind of person who doesn't suffer any loss, and he's Xu Fengnian! Could it be that he's really messed up this time?"

Chapter 1: A Born Emperor! Subduing the Hidden Monk! (Seeking Flowers)

"Amitabha, Benefactor Xu, before I kill you, this old monk has one more question. I wonder if you can answer it?"

The sweeping monk clasped his hands together and calmly watched Xu Fengnian.

Even though he was exceptionally wise.

But deep within his pupils, there were waves of confusion and doubt.

"You're too kind, Master. Please feel free to ask," Xu Fengnian said with a wave of his hand, displaying great magnanimity.

He seemed completely unafraid of his impending death.

"it is good."

The sweeping monk nodded slightly: "Benefactor, you indeed possess remarkable self-control. What I am curious about is that, as the son of the King of Beiliang, with the Xu family's status in Liyang, you could easily live a life of luxury and carefree ease. Even if you acted recklessly and committed all sorts of evil deeds, no one could restrain you, and you could do whatever you pleased. Why would you take such a huge risk to disturb the martial arts world of the Song Dynasty?"

"For the sake of the countless beauties of the Song Dynasty? Benefactor, do you think there is no woman in the world you cannot obtain?"

"Is it to show off? Benefactor ∞ is so shallow, there is absolutely no need to hide your talents for sixteen years."

"This old monk does not see you as a murderer, yet why are you so ruthless, wielding your sword to kill thousands?"

"I hope you can answer my many questions."

The sweeping monk spoke at length.

This was precisely what he found extremely perplexing.

Because Xu Fengnian has too many contradictions.

Hear the words.

The brows of the more than two thousand people present also furrowed simultaneously.

The sweeping monk's words awakened the person from their dream.

Yes!

Xu Fengnian, who has been hiding his talents for sixteen years, must have a very grand plan in mind!

However, this contradicts his actions!

“It’s very simple.” Xu Fengnian looked into the sweeping monk’s eyes and said calmly, “Because my ambition is to unify the world and conquer all nations! The Song Dynasty is weak and close to Li Yang, so it is naturally my first target.”

"First, gather the forces of the martial arts world, then point your sword at the imperial court, and the Song Dynasty will belong to the Xu family."

Xu Fengnian said very frankly.

Now that things have come to this, he no longer bothers to hide it.

"what!"

"What a loud tone!"

"To unite the world and conquer all nations?"

"Did I hear that right? This is Xu Fengnian's ambition?"

The more than two thousand martial artists kneeling on the ground were stunned!

They knew it was impossible!

Not realistic at all!

But judging from Xu Fengnian's appearance, he doesn't seem to be faking it!

Moreover, would someone as strong and patient as Xu Fengnian stoop to telling such a lie?

For a moment, some people secretly scoffed.

Some people were deeply moved.

Some people admire him!

Without exception, everyone was shocked by Xu Fengnian's words!

Think about themselves. (The rest of the text appears to be gibberish and doesn't translate directly.)

Their lifelong pursuits were nothing more than mastering a certain sword technique, becoming the leader of a certain sect, or, for those with greater ambition, becoming the leader of the martial arts world of the Song Dynasty...

But Xu Fengnian?

Their ambition is truly to unify the world!

A comparison reveals the difference in quality!

More than two thousand people knelt on the ground, staring intently at Xu Fengnian's handsome face. For a moment, they really had the illusion of worshipping a king.

The Sweeping Monk and Xu Fengnian stared at each other for five seconds.

A barely perceptible glint flashed in his eyes: "You weren't lying after all. What grand ambitions you have, benefactor. Could you tell this old monk what your aim is in unifying the world?"

"To put it bluntly, it's nothing more than fame and fortune. The goal is to satisfy the endless desires in one's heart as much as possible. Even though I know that human desires are inexhaustible," Xu Fengnian said calmly.

"Hmm, that's a fairly honest answer." The sweeping monk nodded, then asked, "And, to put it more noblely?"

"Noble? Ha!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Fengnian laughed heartily, his boundless pride rising within him: "To put it more grandly, this young master will truly unify China! To make it the greatest empire of all time!"

"Oh?" the sweeping monk said, "Even if you succeed, how can you guarantee that the empire will last for ten thousand generations after your death? The world is so vast, and what is united will eventually be divided. Sooner or later, it will split again, leading to great wars. What good will it do except plunge the people into misery and satisfy your own selfish desires?"

No! You're wrong!

Suddenly, Xu Fengnian's eyes sharpened like knives, piercing straight into the soul as he looked at the Sweeper Monk: "The world is bound to unite after a long period of division, and to divide after a long period of unity. This is the general trend of the world, but have you ever thought that if the division lasts too long, and each country becomes its own, constantly dividing and splitting, will China still be China after a hundred years or a thousand years?"

"In my opinion, the current chaotic world, with various countries divided and separated, is what is destroying the very foundation of our Chinese civilization!"

"China should be a unified whole, absolutely indivisible! I, the Crown Prince, will set a precedent for all ages, and I will let all the heroes of the world know that China can be unified! And it must be unified!"

"Even if China is divided again and war breaks out again after my death, I, the Crown Prince, have set an example for them by being the first to go!"

"I, the Crown Prince, will set a benchmark for all heroes under heaven, inspiring them to fight for the ultimate glory of unification!"

"In this way, no matter how many generations the war goes on, no matter what the person sitting on that supreme dragon throne is, China will always be China, a complete and unified China!"

Xu Fengnian's voice was like the roar of a tiger and the cry of a dragon!

It deeply moved everyone present!

That was a roar from within!

That was a cry from the very soul!

That is the overwhelming spirit of a true emperor!

“There can be many kings and feudal lords.”

"But one emperor is enough for this world!"

Really impressive!

Shocking and enlightening!

After he finished speaking, Wuliang Mountain, which had been somewhat noisy, fell silent!

Everyone was speechless with astonishment at Xu Fengnian!

Only today did they realize what perspective truly means!

Xu Fengnian conquered all nations, seeking fame and fortune, driven by excessive desires.

That's right, they admitted it.

But that saying: No matter how many generations we fight, no matter what the person sitting on that supreme dragon throne is, China will always be China, a complete and unified China!

Yet it deeply moved everyone's heart!

Do not know why.

At this moment, the person was kneeling on the ground.

But the blood in my body inexplicably began to boil!

Everyone seemed to see a scene before their eyes: amidst a desolate landscape of corpses and blood, a half-destroyed battle flag fluttered, and all nations under heaven were united!

Centuries later, the country was divided again, and war broke out once more.

This time, however, everyone was no longer thinking about carving out territory and becoming kings, but about recruiting soldiers and horses to seize the supreme position! They were launching an attack on that ultimate glory that belonged to men!
