Imperial henchmen? Never been struck by the sword of the Six Doors (a secret police agency).

"Lady Xuan Nu, your plan is excellent."

"However, for your personal safety, we suggest you think of other options."

The laughter from beneath the guard's helmet was melodious and clear, but the words brought everyone back to their senses.

"Yes, Lady Xuan Nu, the Lord of War will know it was your idea as soon as he thinks about it. He'll just chase after you and kill you."

"I could kill you with one strike."

"We'll have to collect the bodies then."

"Forget it."

The constant good-natured teasing brought the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden back to her senses, and she touched her neck.

It seems so.

Although Bingzhu may seem like a brute, he is actually quite intelligent.

Every master of military strategy is equally adept at tactics and possesses exceptional wisdom and vision; it's simply a matter of whether they want to play the game or not.

Even if Yue Fei doesn't count, one person fighting against the entire dynasty, no matter how brave and resourceful, can't withstand a group attack.

Later generations have always believed that he was killed for shouting to welcome back the two emperors, but that was just an excuse.

Because Yue Fei stopped using this slogan later on.

His later cries were about restoring the country and being loyal to His Majesty, but foreign powers said they would kill Wu Mu and then He Kecheng, and no one could do anything about it.

rebellion?

Then the foreign powers and the imperial court at the time would join forces to attack him. The two major powers in the world wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible.

Why send your brothers to their deaths for nothing?

This is not in Yue Fei's character.

That's why he walked towards death alone.

As he said, when will the hatred of the subjects be extinguished?

He didn't know, and he couldn't find out.

If he knew that the Song Dynasty had failed to truly avenge its humiliation, he might have felt even more regret.

Allying with a foreign power, eliminating an enemy, and then nurturing a major threat that leads to one's own demise is also a kind of performance art.

The reason why the Great Qian Dynasty is worth talking about is because it kicked three of its arch-enemies to death before it died.

If we're going to die, we'll all die together.

Although Li Jing was nearly killed by Li Yuan twice, he was not stupid and actively participated in the emperor's coup at the North Gate.

Some historical records indicate that he was neutral, but his younger brother was a staunch supporter of the Prince of Qin's court.

Bai Qi, on the other hand, is the type who disdains playing power games; if he's going to die, he's ready to die.

Even a military genius understands these intricacies; how could someone who could endure the humiliation of crawling between someone's legs and run away not understand these things?

But he's conflicted.

On the one hand, he wanted status; on the other hand, he didn't want to let down the Red Emperor's son.

His fate was to be suspected by Empress Lü, the son of the Red Emperor, and eventually be tricked into killing by Xiao He, just like his life.

He is as indecisive as a tyrant when it comes to those close to him.

Isn't this just a cruel joke played by fate on these two arch-enemies?

The personality of the military strategist was much simpler; he lacked the arrogance of the aforementioned military strategists.

But he has a domineering straightforwardness.

If he knew that it was the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden who had given him a good spanking, he would definitely chase after her and chop her up.

The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden knew that her strength was not as resilient as her own leader's.

If she gets slashed by the Lord of War, she might as well go and report to Houtu.

Therefore, this idea had to be abandoned in disappointment.

"It looks like it can only be used on those unlucky guys in the Western Regions."

The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden thought with regret.

Xuanyuan Ba, standing to the side, looked at the expression on Jiutian Xuannv's face and her expression became somewhat complicated.

Judging from the looks of it, this strategist sister still hasn't given up on her ingenious ideas.

"Is Golden Juice really that fun?"

Xuanyuan Ba ​​felt a little disgusted with this older sister.

Xuanyuan Ba ​​did not study military strategy and did not know that the most important point of military strategy is to win people's hearts.

If Bai Qi and Li Jing knew what the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden was thinking, they would be laughing and discussing with her how to maximize the effect of the golden juice on the battlefield.

Knowing how to use "golden juice" to demoralize the opponent rather than provoke them is also an art.

"My Lady, where is the leader?"

Long Wei asked curiously at this moment.

"He...is with Shennong."

"You all go and rest first, there will be a lot to do later."

The Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden first waved her hand, then smiled.

Upon hearing this, the Xuanyuan army nodded and dispersed.

......

Herbal Spirit Realm

Meanwhile, the leader whom the Xuanyuan army was talking about, the Human Emperor Xuanyuan, was currently staring at the pills that Shennong was refining.

Once the elixir is completed, his physique can be restored.

He was a ruthless man who defeated the Lord of War using Taoist magic, even with the assistance of Shennong.

But let's just say we fought but didn't win.

Now that he has made up for his last weakness, he will be invincible.

At this moment, Shennong was also focused on activating his own spiritual energy, attracting heavenly spiritual energy and earthly energy, using the two as fire to continuously refine the medicinal herbs and the essence blood of the lord of the army.

The power of heaven and earth merged with the vast and unfathomable blood and qi, gradually acquiring a majestic aura of heaven and earth's blood and qi.

The fragrance of herbs spread out, and a faint crimson hue enveloped the Herbal Spirit Realm.

Bei Men Yue watched intently as her master refined pills.

Although she couldn't understand it at her current level, that didn't stop her from staring at it intently.

Under such circumstances, spiritual energy gradually condenses.

One after another, figures dressed in light blue robes appeared.

They carried wooden canes, wore simple yet elegant robes, had their long hair tied up, and were dressed neatly without any unnecessary decorations.

A sense of compassion and empathy arises spontaneously.

Shennong, the Pharmacist.

The warriors of the Shennong tribe faced the world's disasters and diseases as their enemies.

They would help the people manage floods and droughts, and they would also treat the sick and save lives.

Shennong's way of saving the world was not limited to humans.

According to Shennong, floods and droughts were the disease of the world.

If you are sick, you need medical treatment.

Therefore, the Shennong tribe was also adept at disaster relief.

That's why he chose Beimen Yue as his successor.

Because he saw in Bei Men Yue the same purity as himself.

Saving the world means saving more than just humanity.

The moment Xuanyuan saw this group of people, his eyes flashed with wild joy.

Has his best ally appeared in the world?

The Shennong Pharmacists quickly coalesced, their initially somewhat ethereal figures gradually becoming real. Their misty clothing swayed in the breeze, transforming from ethereal to tangible, while a faint medicinal fragrance spread throughout the air.

"Your Majesty the Emperor."

Upon seeing Xuanyuan, the pharmacists bowed respectfully.

For these straightforward pharmacists, the Emperor's unification of the world and his bringing peace and prosperity to all people naturally deserves their respect.

"There's no need for such formalities."

Xuanyuan's brows and eyes relaxed. After suffering so much at Jiuli You's hands, he finally earned the respect he deserved.

"When the battle in the Western Regions comes, I need your help."

Xuanyuan looked at the Shennong pharmacists, seemed to remember something, coughed lightly, and put on a serious expression.

The fact that Shennong, the Pharmacist, was reflected suggests that the earth's veins intended to reduce the casualties of the imperial army.

The Xuanyuan clan also discovered that the imperial dynasty's earth veins were too human-like.

If Shennong the Pharmacist was reflected, then he and Jiuli You's troops should also have been reflected.

Nothing else, just strong enough to contribute in the battle in the Western Regions.

Given Jiuli You's personality, if the dynasty doesn't need his help in the Western Regions war, he will definitely turn his guns on him.

As for why he's so certain, it's because if it were him, he would do the same.

"Zhulong, Demon Clan Supreme, Dijun, Nuwa, Xihuang."

"We must bring them in and form a human emperor's coalition army to crush Jiuli You."

"That guy has eighteen ancestral weapons."

Xuanyuan's mind raced with calculations.

A portion of the Shennong Pharmacists must remain.

"Don't worry, senior, we will definitely help."

The leader immediately agreed.

They didn't think much of it; the Xuanyuan clan had an excellent reputation.

How could such a good person have any bad intentions?

It can only be said that while practicing benevolence and righteousness did limit him, it also brought him corresponding benefits.

With a single call to arms, most of the powerful figures from the ancient tribes were willing to follow him.

This includes the Phoenix Clan, the Four Dragon Ancestors, the Qilin, and so on.

Looking at the Shennong herbalists before him, Xuanyuan felt there was great potential.

Bei Men Yue also looked at the pharmacists and blinked.

However, her attention was quickly diverted.

Within the Simu Cauldron before Shennong, blood energy gathered, like a star dancing within the cauldron.

The light from the stars made Xuanyuan Shi close his eyes.

Shennong looked at the pills in front of him, and a faint blue light shone in his eyes.

The power of the Great Dao slowly enveloped the crimson star before them.

The interplay of blue and red luster creates a breathtakingly beautiful effect.

Above the pill, the phantom of the War Lord appeared, along with the azure sky.

Although Shennong's elixirs did not have a elixir spirit, his elixir essence was far more profound than that of a elixir spirit.

All I can say is that he truly lives up to his reputation as the Lord of War's uncle; his alchemy, relying on the power of the Great Dao, is equally outrageous.

The strange phenomenon quickly subsided, and Shennong stretched out his hand, with the elixir lying quietly in his palm.

Xuanyuan opened his eyes and immediately stared at the pill.

"Here, take this. After you refine it, it should make up for your physical deficiencies."

Shennong presented the elixir to his close friend.

It wouldn't be difficult for him to refine this elixir, but obtaining the materials would be quite challenging.

Moreover, besides the essence and blood of the War Lord, it also needs time for the Xuanyuan Clan to refine it.

In ancient times, the Xuanyuan clan lacked time the most.

The emperor immediately took the elixir and swallowed it.

After taking the elixir, Xuanyuan sat cross-legged.

The next instant, excruciating pain spread throughout his body.

The essence and blood of the War Lord, combined with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, supplemented by the breath of primordial chaos, and the Nirvana Tribulation Lightning Flower, are all top-quality materials.

As for other auxiliary materials, there are countless varieties.

The Annihilation Tribulation Lightning Flower is a spiritual flower that can survive in the midst of tribulation lightning, so you can imagine how strong its chance of survival is.

This miraculous flower that survives death is extraordinary, not to mention the other medicinal herbs.

Xuanyuan's meridians cracked immediately after he took the elixir.

The blood and qi were constantly eroding his meridians, and the golden meridians slowly turned into a mix of gold and red.

The next instant, the tribulation lightning power contained within the Annihilation Tribulation Lightning Flower began to temper the Xuanyuan Clan's constitution.

Even a battle-hardened warrior like Xuanyuan had veins bulging on his forehead, his teeth clenched, and his cheeks twitching from time to time.

However, Shennong's strength lies in the fact that he would not deliberately torment people.

Many alchemists actually have a perverse sense of humor; pills for strengthening the body or nourishing the spirit will inevitably cause people to writhe in pain.

But Shennong was different; medicine was meant to make people better, so he would try his best to help people avoid pain.

That was the case at the moment, and Xuanyuan's expression gradually calmed down.

The Primordial Breath enveloped the two powerful medicinal forces, allowing them to slowly and steadily seep into the meridians and bones.

Although it's slower, the fusion is more perfect.

The Primordial Breath, also known as the Chaos Qi, can encompass all things.

Under these circumstances, Xuanyuan's physique gradually became stronger and more resilient.

"Xuanyuan... he will be very strong when he emerges from seclusion this time."

"Xiao You is in danger."

Shennong felt the changes in Xuanyuan's physique and thought with some worry.

A strong physique can also benefit one's Taoist skills.

The Xuanyuan clan can bear more and stronger Taoist arts.

Even the Lord of War would have a headache.

"Should I... help Xiao You then?"

Shennong had this thought in his mind.

If Xuanyuan knew what Shennong was thinking, he would definitely cry in front of him.

The Lord of War is already outrageous enough, and now you're adding the Ancestor of Medicine to heal him from behind?

What does it mean to have a soldier with unlimited vitality who can't get hurt fight you?

How to fight this?

Of course, the current Xuanyuan clan is unaware of Shennong clan's thoughts.

He was immersed in the joy of his physical advancement and focused on refining the elixir.

......

Prince An's Mansion, Tianxing Martial Arts Arena

At this moment, a joyful atmosphere also permeated Prince An's side.

This joy is even more...subtle.

Houtu taught Li Junsu while smiling.

Bai Xingling, the demon bully who originally wanted to teach Lü Yiru a lesson, was so angry that his ears perked up.

Lu Yiru beside her was equally imposing, her phoenix eyes slightly narrowed, exuding an air of authority that made the surrounding temperature drop several degrees.

Bai Xingling and Lü Yiru even stood together, looking at the several beautiful figures not far away, and gritted their teeth at the same time.

Hua Chaowu held a long spear formed from fire spirit, looking at Li Junsu with a pleading expression, as if she had just mastered a long weapon.

Li Junsu had no choice but to stand behind her and teach her step by step.

Although Li Junsu was not a master of spearmanship, many of the strong opponents he fought used long spears, so he did have some experience in this area.

Hua Chaowu leaned against Prince An's chest, her eyes filled with shyness and timidity, which added a touch of gentleness to her originally heroic face.

Li Junsu taught Hua Chaowu a fierce spear technique, but Hua Chaowu's gentle strength made the technique look more like a tender spear technique.

Watching this scene from not far away, Yu Qingzhu pondered for a moment and also used wood spirit to condense a long spear.

Bai Xingling and Lü Yiru were practically grinding their teeth in frustration.

The two women exchanged a glance and nodded simultaneously.

"Jun Su, it's hard for him to improve if you teach him like this."

"I need to practice with her to improve."

After Bai Xingling finished speaking, she stretched out her hand.

Moonlight gathered in her palm, and the full moon transformed into a pure white spear.

Bai Xingling wielded the spear with tremendous force, scattering moon spirits in all directions in a breathtaking display.

"That's right, in the path of martial arts, one either progresses or regresses."

Lü Yiru also stretched out her hand, and a pale white longsword gathered in her palm.

Lu Yiru gripped her longsword, unleashing her killing intent without reservation.

Houtu obediently took two steps back, her eyes burning with desire.

It's good that they're fighting; only when they fight can we have a good show.

"That's it."

Upon hearing this, Li Junsu nodded and then released Hua Chaowu.

Hua Chaowu's expression froze as she looked at the demon bully who was approaching her with a cold smile, and the scheming empress.
