The Legend of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai

Thus, he missed the chance to meet Shen Jiantong, Wang Yuyun, and others.

Although Ma Wencai had practiced martial arts since childhood and possessed superb skills, he was, after all, just an ordinary person. With his mortal eyes, he could not see ghosts or spirits, and therefore could not provide Shen Jiantong and the others with any valuable information.

Of course, he eventually saw Zhu Yingtai being mysteriously arrested, but he dared not say anything.

Shen Jiantong and his group clearly had ill intentions, and he was very worried that if he revealed it, Zhu Yingtai might really be gone.

In his view, although Zhu Yingtai's fate was likely to be grim if she fell into the hands of the Five Ghost Generals, it was still better than if she fell into the hands of Shen Jiantong and his men.

Zhu Yingtai was, after all, the woman he cared about most, and in his heart, he had already considered her as his wife.

No matter how despicable he is, he wouldn't sell his wife for personal gain.

Of course, he wouldn't do that if there were alternatives available.

No one knows whether, given Ma Wencai's personality, he would sell his wife for personal gain if there were no alternatives.

As for Wang Lan, although she was the dean's daughter, she didn't have much interaction with him. She and he didn't get along well at the academy, and she even became allies with Xun Jubo, his rival classmate.

In comparison, arresting Wang Lan was undoubtedly better in his mind than arresting Zhu Yingtai.

Although Zhu Yingtai's elopement angered him, she was, after all, the woman he loved. If he were to actually arrest her, his conscience would not allow it, and he would even have nightmares and live in the shadow of her.

But arresting Wang Lan is different. Not only will he not feel bad, but he will also feel very happy because arresting Wang Lan will harm Xun Jubo...

Shen Jiantong's records come from the Immortal Abode of Zhongzhou, which, to the mortal world, is the most powerful and unknown governing body.

Shen Jian is the chief clerk of the Xiongnu Kingdom's Tongyuan in the Central Plains Immortal Mansion, which is equivalent to the position of a regional lord.

Compared to god-like officials, the status of the scribes of various countries was a level higher.

In the Immortal Abode of the Central Plains, the five great ghost generals—Ox-Head, Horse-Face, Day-Wanderer, Night-Wanderer, and Leopard-Tail—are known as Ox-Head God, Horse-Face God, Day-Wanderer God, Night-Wanderer God, and Leopard-Tail God, respectively. Their status and position are all lower than those of the generals of various countries.

It was quite unexpected that the chief envoy of the Xiongnu Kingdom would come to the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

The relationship between the Xiongnu and the states of the Central Plains has always been poor, to the point that wars break out from time to time.

The will of the various kingdoms of Zhongzhou Xianfu was the driving force behind the war.

The Xiongnu, led by Shen Jiantong, were historically brutal and barbaric, and had always harbored ambitions to annex the states of the Central Plains.

However, although Shen Jian's records were strong and the records of the Central Plains states were weak, the combined forces of the Central Plains states' records were more than capable of defeating Shen Jian's records.

Therefore, whenever Shen Jiantong marched south to invade the Central Plains, he almost always returned defeated.

As a ruler high above, Shen Jiantong knew that he could keep abreast of the world's affairs without even leaving his Immortal Abode in Zhongzhou. He was especially familiar with the various states in the Central Plains.

The Xiongnu's spying on the Central Plains, or rather, Shen Jian's record of spying on the Central Plains, is not a recent phenomenon, but rather began when Shen Jian took command of the Xiongnu.

As the saying goes, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated." Shen Jiantong believed that if he wanted to conquer the Central Plains states, he must study them thoroughly.

The Eastern Jin Dynasty, one of the states in the Central Plains, is also within the scope of his research.

Shen Jiantong's attention to the states of the Central Plains can be seen from his interest in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

Shen Jiantong even knew about the Nishan Academy in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and even knew that Wang Lan, the daughter of the academy's director, was skilled in medicine, and that Zhu Yingtai, a talented and beautiful female student, had infiltrated the academy.

It is evident that Shen Jiantong's understanding of the various states in the Central Plains had reached an astonishing level.

Shen Jiantong's sudden arrival in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, completely disregarding the Eastern Jin's chief clerk Ao Shumeng, also demonstrated his immense confidence.

If this were in the Immortal Abode of Central Plains, people would know that once Shen Jiantong became confident, it would mean that the Xiongnu would begin to move south again.

War will be inevitable, and the various factions of the Central Plains Immortal Mansion will clash in the Tongbo Hall.

It’s just a good show.

Shen Jiantong specifically requested Wang Lan and Zhu Yingtai from Nishan Academy, not because Wang Lan was a master of medicine or Zhu Yingtai was exceptionally intelligent, but because both girls were top-notch beauties.

Those familiar with Shen Jiantong's records know that this guy is extremely lecherous. Even in the Central Plains Immortal Mansion, he has made no shortage of advances toward his subordinates.

Rumor has it that every maidservant in the Xiongnu State Council had a relationship with Shen Jiantong, and that over 90% of the staff in the Xiongnu State Council were young Xiongnu women.

It is no exaggeration to say that the Xiongnu State's Tongyuan has become Shen Jiantong's backyard.

Unfortunately, the beauty of women in the Xiongnu Kingdom was not just a matter of being several levels below that of women in the Central Plains.

In terms of temperament, how could the women of the Xiongnu Kingdom be as petite and gentle as the women of the Central Plains?

Shen Jiantong had long admired the beauties of the Central Plains, so it was not surprising that he knew about the ninth sister of the Zhu family hidden in her boudoir and Wang Lan hidden in Mount Ni.

Unfortunately, Ao Shumeng, the chief clerk of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and Shen Jian, the chief clerk of the Xiongnu Dynasty, were sworn enemies.

This man and woman have been fighting for hundreds of years; their love, hate, and grudges have transcended their life and death.

Shen Jiantong's trip south was specifically aimed at Ao Shumeng. He had had enough of this vicious woman; she had to die.

……

After the five ghost generals left, and after Shen Jiantong and the others also left, Ma Wencai and the others had no choice but to lead the wedding procession back.

There's no point in staying here anymore.

As Ma Wencai said, Zhu Yingtai was his prey.

Zhu Yingtai said: "Becoming your prey will ultimately lead to death."

Zhu Yingtai proved her words to be true, and Ma Wencai also showed the ruthlessness and coldness of a hunter.

He didn't care about Zhu Yingtai's life or death now. What a joke! Once captured by the Five Ghost Generals, how could she possibly survive?

In Ma Wencai's view, what does it matter if the ghost is handsome or not? Anyway, Zhu Yingtai was taken away by a ghost, and being taken away by a ghost means that her soul will be taken to hell and she will become a dead person.

If you're dead, you're dead. What's there to be nostalgic about?

Isn't she a woman?

With the Ma family's power, what kind of woman couldn't he have?

More importantly, he encountered an immortal, and he wanted to become the immortal's disciple and ascend to immortality.

Is there anything more important than this?

No.

Perhaps, if Shen Jiantong insisted that he must offer up Zhu Yingtai before he would accept him as a disciple, he wouldn't hesitate for long.

After all, in his eyes, Zhu Yingtai was just prey.

As a hunter, if he couldn't kill Zhu Yingtai, he had other prey.

When has a hunter ever felt affection for his prey? It's merely a means to obtain and kill the prey.

Now, Zhu Yingtai has been captured by the five ghost generals, and her fate is uncertain.

With his current abilities, he naturally cannot find Zhu Yingtai, let alone capture her.

Besides, how could he possibly afford to provoke a ghost?

How could he not be afraid?

Even if we don't talk about Ghost General, he's afraid of little ghosts too.

This is the innate human fear of ghosts.

The immortal only wanted one of them, but now that one has become the only one.

Wang Lan, the dean's beloved daughter, has no chance of escaping.

Ma Wencai came and went in a hurry. He didn't make things difficult for Sijiu and Yinxin, or rather, he didn't take these two ants seriously at all.

Perhaps without the appearance of the immortal, he might have killed Sijiu and Yinxin in a fit of rage, but now, he has more important things to do.

Furthermore, these two ants had spent some time with him at Nishan Academy, especially their master, Zhu Yingtai, who almost became his wife.

Even if he were cold-blooded, he wouldn't be so cruel as to let himself live in a nightmare.

Even if you don't respect the monks, you should at least respect the Buddha.

"What the hell is going on? The Five Great Ghost Generals of the Underworld? And who are the people who came later?"

The crucial point is that Zhu Yingtai's soul was abducted, and she was the great benefactor who helped me achieve the Limitless Realm.

No, I have to go save them no matter what.

But right now, I haven't retracted my Eternal Heavenly Eye Divine Power yet, and I don't even have the strength to blink. How am I supposed to save him...?

Liang Shanbo was devastated. He had never imagined that the divine power on the Heavenly Pillar would consume such terrifying amounts of energy, almost draining him of all his moisture.

It seems we'll have to be careful when using the supernatural powers of the Heavenly Pillar in the future.

Ideally, you should avoid using it if possible.

"Huh? You're back so soon?"
