Zongwu: The Rise of the Little People

Qi Xianxia staggered backwards.

A trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

The peach blossom in his hand broke into pieces and then turned into ashes, leaving only the hilt of the sword.

But there is no more time.

Not waiting for his reaction.

The melted ice sword appeared in Zhao Xu's hand again.

The long sword was swung lightly and slashed out.

The fierce sword power and pressure pierce the soul directly.

The sword energy passed by Qi Xianxia's ears.

The next moment, the sword intent surged, the momentum soared into the sky, stirring up the wind and clouds, and causing strange changes in the sky.

A person who has achieved success in martial arts in Qingzhou.

At this moment, the hair stood on end and the expression was tense.

Qi Xianxia couldn't care less at this moment.

He turned straight around and looked back.

I saw that the huge Shouyang Lake had been split into two by the sword intent and sword energy.

Cutting the lake with one sword, that’s not all.

Outside the city, the clouds in the sky split into two sides, and the sky seemed to be divided into two.

This extremely powerful sword appeared on this land.

Many masters in Li Yang area have sensed it.

In Wudi City in the East China Sea, Wang Xianzhi appeared on the top of the city wall, looking west with a smile on his face.

After a moment, his four disciples appeared on the top of the city wall.

The eldest disciple Yu Xinlang raised his head and asked:

"Master, has something big happened?"

Wang Xianzhi glanced at him and said, "Liyang, another sword master has emerged in the world. The martial arts are no longer alone!"

"Hahaha……"

Amidst loud laughter, Wang Xianzhi disappeared.

The bridegroom and the crow were left alone, staring at each other in bewilderment.

At the Tingchao Pavilion in Beiliang, an extremely strong sword intent flashed by. The old sword god Li Chungang muttered in his heart: "Strange sword intent, it seems that there is a newcomer in the world!"

Others, such as Wudang, Tai'an City, Longhu Mountain...

Strong men from all over the world were impressed by Zhao Xu's sword.

The strange mood made them realize that a new strong man had appeared in this world.

Skinny Sheep Lake.

A dead silence.

After a long time, the lake water and clouds closed together again and returned to their original appearance.

Coming back to his senses, Qi Xianxia said awkwardly: "Is this the sword of the sword immortal?"

Zhao Xu came up to him, patted his shoulder, shook his head and said, "It's not that easy to become a land immortal!"

Hearing this, Qi Xianxia was speechless for a while, and whispered: "Inhuman!"

People who are not at the same level will have very different understandings.

In the eyes of ordinary people, any practitioner who reaches the first level can be called an immortal.

People from the three religions in Liyang, if they cultivate their Vajra, Finger-Point and Celestial Phenomenon to perfection, will reach the immortal realm on earth.

In Zhao Xu's mind, the three religions are united as one, and all of them have been cultivated to perfection. Only with such an achievement can one become a true land immortal.

Zhao Xu floated up and stepped onto the lake surface. The ice sword in his hand turned into lake water again and fell from his fingertips.

Then, he walked farther and farther away, and his figure gradually disappeared.

"Qi Xianxia, ​​do you want to practice the way of Longhu Mountain, or the way of the sword in your heart?"

The voice Zhao Xu sent before he left lingered in his ears, and Qi Xianxia fell into deep thought.

under the moonlight.

Wave after wave of people came and went at Shouyang Lake.

Qi Xianxia stood by the lake and no one dared to disturb him.

a long time.

He left quietly.

After all, this question cannot be answered in a short time.

Qi Xianxia still needs to experience more in the martial arts world before he can come to terms with his inner thoughts.

The sword must be revealed eventually to show its sharpness.

With this sword Zhao Xu uses tonight, he is announcing his existence to all the masters in Li Yang.

When the sword intent reappears in the future, they will not feel strange!

The figure flashes.

Not long after, Zhao Xu returned to the Wang residence.

Passing by the study, the lights in the room were still on.

It was already late at night, and Wang Quanlin had not yet rested, working by lamplight. Zhao Xu seemed to be thinking about something.

……

Sunrise under the moon.

In the South Study, Zhao Xu had just finished his breakfast when he was invited to the study by the chief steward Wang Zhong.

When I saw Wang Quanlin, I noticed that he looked worried.

Zhao Xu sat down and asked directly:

"What problems did you encounter, uncle?"

Seeing Zhao Xu, Wang Quanlin's worry faded a little and he said:

"This Mid-Autumn Festival is not peaceful this year!"

Hearing this, Zhao Xu looked surprised:

"Please explain in detail, uncle."

Wang Quanlin took a deep breath:

"This starts with the current situation in Qingzhou."

"Not counting the former subordinates of General Gu (Gu Jiantang), the remaining official forces in Qingzhou are divided into three groups. The Jing'an Palace controls the army, the Qingzhou Lu family is the official, and the Hedong Lin family holds the wealth."

Hearing this, Zhao Xu realized something: "Prince Jing'an was the strongest contender for the throne back then. Even though he is now a vassal, the current emperor must still be on guard against him."

"The Qingzhou Lu family has lived here for generations. Needless to say, the Lin family is definitely not the same kind of people as the Jing'an Palace."

"The Wang family is taking shelter in the Jing'an Palace, so they will compete with the Lin family for the financial power of Qingzhou!"

Wang Quanlin nodded and said, "The Lin family and some people in the court have already noticed..."

……

After Wang Quanlin's detailed explanation, Zhao Xu finally understood his concerns.

The Wang family of Qingzhou is secretly a spy planted by Beiliang in Qingzhou, but openly they are affiliated with Prince Jing'an and are in charge of his financial power.

The Hedong Lin family is a chess piece planted by the imperial court in Qingzhou as a check and balance.

As long as King Jing'an Zhao Heng fails to eliminate the Lin family and seize all the financial power of Qingzhou, he will not be able to develop to his full potential.

The two sides competed secretly.

Now the Wang family is the pawn of Prince Jing'an, used to compete with the Lin family for financial power.

The Lin family and some figures in the court noticed this.

News came from Beiliang that the other party was going to take advantage of the Mid-Autumn Festival to stir up trouble and attack the Wang family.

Everything is clear.

The study fell into silence.

It is unclear what means the other party will use. The unknown is always the most anxious thing.

There was silence for a long time.

Zhao Xu asked:

"Uncle, don't worry too much. If it really doesn't work, I can escort everyone away. The world is so big, we can go anywhere!"

Hearing this, Wang Quanlin nodded, then shook his head and sighed:

"As a Beiliang spy, I have my own mission."

Then, he calmed down and continued, "It hasn't come to that yet, but we can't celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival this year!"

When Zhao Xu heard him say this, he knew that his uncle had already made a plan with Beiliang, so he said, "Uncle, please explain in detail!"

Wang Quanlin exhaled a breath of foul air: "On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, King Jing'an will host a banquet for all the major forces. No matter how they attack, I have my protection and will be able to handle it with ease."

"But the Man family cannot stay in Xiangfan. They must be sent back to Laoshan, which is the Wang family's territory."

Zhao Xu nodded after hearing this.

He knew that no matter what Wang Quanlin was like, this family was his biggest weakness.

With Zhao Xu in charge, the Wang residence was as stable as a rock.

But as a trump card, Zhao Xu's role is too important. If this relationship can be hidden, it should continue to be hidden so that it can play a greater role in the future.

"I will follow the team and ensure everyone's safety." Zhao Xu said in a steady voice.

Hearing this, Wang Quanlin smiled and said, "I will ask King Jing'an to dispatch the Qingzhou navy to pick us up. The most dangerous part of the journey now is the part from the city to the dock."

"However, there will be people from Beiliang to help you. You don't have to do anything unless it's the most urgent moment."

Zhao Xu nodded and asked the last question: "When do we leave?"

Wang Quanlin replied:

"Mid-Autumn Sunrise!"
