Zongwu: The Rise of the Little People

A flick of the left fingertips.

A sword energy flew out.

"Qiang!"

The pitch-black sword was knocked away in an instant.

At the same time, Zhao Xu moved his body and gently slapped Yang Xuyan on the chest.

"puff!"

Yang Xuyan flew backwards, spit out a mouthful of blood, and collapsed to the ground.

He looked at Zhao Xu with jealousy and confusion.

"How did you find me?"

The Butian Pavilion is well versed in the ways of assassins, and their skills are excellent in concealment.

Even with Zhao Xu's strength, it would be impossible to spot him from a certain distance.

Unfortunately, nothing is absolute in the world, and as long as one is human, there will be omissions.

During the battle during the day, the moment Xi Ying was defeated, Yang Xuyan inadvertently leaked a trace of his aura.

Zhao Xu caught it at the time, but didn't want to do anything.

But I didn't expect that Yang Xuyan would be so ignorant of the consequences.

When many masters were defeated, instead of leaving quickly, they dared to continue hiding outside the valley.

Zhao Xu has now learned the Magical Body Technique and the Immortal Seal Technique.

The concealment effect of the Butian Pavilion was not obvious in front of him, let alone Yang Xuyan, whose breath he had captured during the day.

Naturally, it was easily discovered by Zhao Xu.

Zhao Xu didn't want to waste time talking to such a person, so he started using soul-stealing technique directly.

Soon, his eyes became blurry.

Two quarters of an hour later.

Zhao Xu carried the unconscious Yang Xuyan back to the valley.

Throwing the man aside, he said:

"Tomorrow, let Anlong take him back and give him a good lesson!"

Shi Qingxuan nodded in agreement. Although she didn't want to take his life, it would be good to teach him a lesson.

Although Yang Xuyan's strength is not good enough, his status is not low and he has multiple identities.

He is not only Shi Zhixuan's disciple, but also the atom of the Daming Zunjiao.

The Great Ming Zunjiao is an extremely mysterious sect.

It is divided into two systems, light and dark, led by the Great Master, the Good Mother and the Five Bright Sons.

The leaders of the Ming faction were Shanmu and Wumingzi, who preached religion.

The dark system respects atoms and five types of demons and eliminates dissidents.

Its members are complex, and most of them, like Yang Xuyan, have multiple identities.

There are many secret books in the sect, and the one that Zhao Xu favors the most is "The Sutra of Wisdom on the Origin of All Things" which was specially cultivated by Yuanzi.

This unique book is the most top-notch secret book of the Sui Dynasty besides the four great books. Even Shi Zhixuan is interested in it.

There are many martial arts in the world, most of which focus on the cultivation of the three aspects of essence, energy and spirit, but this book of wisdom that controls the root of all things is different.

It is a practice that directly targets spiritual cultivation and the enhancement of wisdom.

If you want to control everything, you must comprehend it with broad wisdom and rule it with the supreme mind.

The Wisdom Sutra of the Root of All Things has the characteristics of the root of all things and the concept of embracing all rivers and seas. It is the only way to help people create a technique that suits their own, and it will be of great help to Zhao Xu in the future.

Zhao Xu used soul-stealing magic to delete some of Yang Xuyan's memories.

So he didn't know that his secrets had been taken out by Zhao Xu.

After the last attempt to steal the secret book of immortality failed, Anlong gave up completely.

Yang Xuyan is different. He is the son of Yang Yong, the former crown prince of the Sui Dynasty, and he has always wanted to take back the country.

His pursuit of power is far stronger than Anlong's.

The appearance of Zhao Xu was also a great stimulation to him.

As they are both young people, Zhao Xu is already qualified to fight with Shi Zhixuan, but he is far inferior to him.

Yang Xuyan knew very well that Shi Zhixuan was only using him and it was impossible for him to obtain the true teachings from him.

If I continue to practice step by step, I will know when I will gain enough strength.

Out of his desire for power, he decided to take an unconventional approach.

Using the power of the Great Ming Sect, he passed some information to the Four Evils of the Demon Sect and the Heavenly Lord Xi Ying.

He wanted to lure these people out so that both he and the injured Zhao Xu would suffer losses, and he would be the one who benefits in the end.

Unfortunately, Zhao Xu's situation was beyond his imagination and his plan failed.

An Long came to Youlin Cottage the next day to inform them of the aftermath and took the dying Yang Xuyan away.

We all understand, there is no need to ask the reason.

After some twists and turns, the valley completely returned to its original state, and the world became quiet and peaceful.

Zhao Xu stayed here temporarily. Except for going out every once in a while, he spent most of his time studying hard.

During this trip to Shuzhong, he gained unexpectedly much, far beyond his original plan.

Not only did he obtain the secret book of immortality, but he also unexpectedly obtained three unique skills: the Sun-Changing Method, the Tao Heart Planting Demon Method, and the Wisdom Sutra of the Origin of Controlling All Things.

It would take him some time to learn these martial arts wisdom.

Zhao Xu immersed himself in martial arts, but this did not last long as something forced him to stop temporarily.

Shi Zhixuan suddenly appears and Yue Shan gets his revenge.

Although the series of disturbances all ended safely, the appearance of these people and things eventually had an impact on Shi Qingxuan's mood.

After some thought, she decided to go to Yuhe Temple in Chang'an to pay tribute to her deceased mother.

Zhao Xu's next destination after entering Shu was Chang'an, which was right on the way.

Both of them are martial artists, so naturally their way of traveling is different from that of ordinary people.

Especially for Zhao Xu, ever since he had achieved some success in his sword power, traveling had become a pleasant thing for him.

It didn't take the two of them much time to reach Daxing City.

Guanzhong is a vast area of ​​fertile land.

The Wei River nourishes the 800-li Qinchuan area.

There is a saying: Autumn wind blows on the Wei River, and fallen leaves fill Chang'an.

Chang'an City is Daxing City, located on the south bank of the Wei River in the Guanzhong Plain.

A thousand-year-old capital with rich cultural heritage.

Daxing City was the capital before the Sui Dynasty.

In order to get rid of the constraints of the Guanlong Group, Emperor Yang of Sui built the eastern capital Luoyang and moved the capital as soon as he ascended the throne.

Even so, as an ancient capital, it is still the largest city in the Sui Dynasty.

Daxing City consists of the outer city, the palace city and the imperial city.

The palace and the imperial city are located in the north, guarded by the outer city blocks from the other three directions, and separated by Suzaku Street in the middle.

Although the Sui Dynasty was unstable, Daxing, the largest city, was still bustling with traffic and no signs of impending chaos.

In terms of prosperity, Daxing was the most prosperous of the capitals of the Sui Dynasty, even Yangzhou and Luoyang could not compare to it.

Zhuque Street is extremely wide and can accommodate more than a dozen carriages passing side by side.

Even the capital of the Ming Dynasty did not have such a wide main road. Such a grand scene reflects the peak national strength of the Sui Dynasty.

Shi Qingxuan covered her face with a veil and walked on the street with Zhao Xu.

The man is handsome and the woman is pretty, with extraordinary temperament, which attracts the attention of passers-by from time to time.

Shi Qingxuan has lived a secluded life since childhood. Although he has been to Chang'an to pay homage to his deceased mother, he has never entered Daxing City.

Now, seeing this bustling scene with people jostling each other and passing by like a stream of fish, I am naturally very interested.

She stopped from time to time to take in the city view.

The grand occasion of Daxing City made Zhao Xu feel a little emotional.

There were martial artists carrying weapons, businessmen from various countries speaking with different accents, literati, and young men from aristocratic families. There were really all kinds of people there.

Be tolerant to diversity, tolerance is a virtue.

With the momentum of Daxing City, the Sui Dynasty should not have entered its final years now.

"It's a pity that such a prosperous era cannot benefit the countryside!"

When Shi Qingxuan heard Zhao Xu's sigh, she lost her mood to watch.

If the city is prosperous but the people are declining, the people's strength will be exhausted and the country will be unstable.

No matter how prosperous a city is, if it loses its foundation, it will eventually collapse at the touch of a wind.

Shi Qingxuan thought for a while and slowly said:

"A dynasty that does not care about the people and make good use of their power is doomed to fall."

Zhao Xu was surprised. He didn't expect Shi Qingxuan to have such insights.

After this conversation, neither of them was in the mood to continue shopping.

Prepare to return to the rented inn.

"People in front, get out of the way!"
