Zhuge Liang's Journey to Dominate the World: Starting from Another World

Little did he know that this was precisely a protective talisman that Kongming had given Temujin, allowing him to prove his innocence and distance himself from the situation...

If Tiemu Jincheng is unable to withstand the pressure and reveals the truth about the Zhangtianchi (a type of ancient Chinese ruler), then things will be bad.

Regarding the matter of the Heavenly Ruler, both sides were actually afraid that the other would reveal it.

At this moment, Temujincheng finally understood the true meaning of the protective talisman that Kongming had mentioned before...

Tie Muzhen slowly stood up and paced around the main hall. Every step seemed to tread on the heartstrings of Tie Mujincheng and Tie Yuanzhu, making the brother and sister uneasy.

"That's enough! To avoid suspicion, neither of you shall leave the palace. I will handle this matter myself."

After Tie Muzhen finished speaking, he cupped his hands to the green-robed cultivator beside him and said, "I implore Immortal Master Li Xin to personally take action and bring Zhuge Kongming back this time!"

"Since the Emperor has spoken, I will make the trip."

The cultivator in the green robe disappeared from the main hall after speaking. This was a terrifying existence ranked sixteenth on the Great Yuan Golden Core Peak Ranking. Even Tie Muzhen had to be careful...

……

"Brother Kongming, everyone is under control. When do we set off?"

Elder Qingyang said excitedly.

The guards on these cargo ships were mostly ordinary people, with only a few dozen cultivators.

Moreover, they were all rogue cultivators. When they saw the Jade Cauldron Sect seizing the ship, they initially put up a token resistance, but the difference in strength was too great, and they were quickly subdued by Elder Qingyang.

Elder Qingyang then ordered the execution of all of An Lushan's confidants.

The remaining crew members and some independent cultivators, seeing that all their master's people were dead and that they all had vested interests with the An family in the three prefectures, quickly turned against them under the lure of Elder Qingyang.

"Very good! Without further ado, Elder Qingyang, you lead the team and set off immediately. I still need to go back!"

Kongming frowned slightly. According to the agreement, Zhao Yun should have arrived long ago, but he still hadn't seen him. He couldn't help but feel a little worried about Zhao Yun.

"Brother Zhuge! You need to think this through. We've already been exposed, and it won't be so easy for us to get out if we go back!" Elder Qingyang said with a solemn expression.

"Elder Qingyang, I know what I'm doing. I'll leave the matter of the warhorses entirely to you!"

Kongming didn't say much, and others couldn't understand his brotherly bond with Zhao Yun. He simply couldn't abandon Zhao Yun and escape alone.

"but……"

Elder Qingyang wanted to persuade him further, but saw that Kongming had already summoned a flying spirit beast and taken off into the air.

Elder Qingyang shook his head as he watched Kongming's departing figure.

He then turned to the fleet and shouted, "Everyone, listen up! Set sail immediately!"

At Elder Qingyang's command, the mighty fleet sailed downstream and merged into the sea.

Meanwhile, Zhao Yun's tens of thousands of troops had suffered heavy losses and were now surrounded by pursuing troops sent by the imperial court.

Zhao Yun wielded his silver spear, its tip like a dragon, each strike accompanied by the force of thunder, repelling the enemies one by one.

He knew that the longer he held out here, the greater the chances of Kongming's success would be.

Just then, the sky suddenly became stormy, and a dazzling sword light shot out from the clouds, heading straight for the battlefield.

Within that sword light lay a chilling fluctuation of magical power. Zhao Yun felt a jolt in his heart and looked up at the rolling clouds.

"It's that person who's by Emperor Yuan's side!" Zhao Yun thought to himself, but his eyes remained firm, showing no sign of backing down.

The sword light arrived in an instant, landing in the center of the battlefield, transforming into a cultivator dressed in a blue robe and wielding a long sword.

His face was stern, his Taoist robe fluttered without wind, and his eyes, sharp as lightning, swept across the entire scene.

However, he did not act immediately, but coldly said: "Zhao Changshan, you traitors, when will you surrender your heads!"

Zhao Yun sneered, pointing his silver spear directly at his opponent: "Though I am a mortal, I am not one to be trifled with!"

"Hmph! You mere mortal, I really don't know where you get your courage!" Li Xin curled his lips into a disdainful smile, then casually swung his long sword, and a sword light instantly rushed towards Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun's figure blurred, and his silver spear transformed into afterimages, weaving a dense net of spears in the air at an incredible speed, colliding fiercely with the sword light.

The sound of metal clashing was deafening, causing the surrounding soldiers to retreat in disarray, but they still managed to block the power of the sword!

"Huh!" A hint of surprise flashed in Li Xin's eyes. Although it was a casual strike, it was by no means something that an ordinary general could withstand.

They clearly hadn't expected Zhao Yun to possess such combat prowess.

"I would never stoop to killing a mere mortal like you, but since you insist on seeking death, then I will grant your wish!"

After Li Xin finished speaking, he vanished from the spot like a ghost, and reappeared in front of Zhao Yun.

The longsword pierced the air with a series of piercing whistles, heading straight for Zhao Yun's throat.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Yun's eyes narrowed. He knew that today's battle was unlike any other.

But he was a veteran of countless battles, and remained calm in the face of danger. His silver spear moved like a dragon, carrying immense force to deflect the longsword.

Two powerful forces intertwined in the air, creating waves of air that forced the surrounding soldiers to cover their ears to avoid being injured by the deafening collision.

"Interesting! When did a martial arts master at the third level emerge?"

Li Xin's insight was so sharp that he saw through Zhao Yun's true nature in a single sentence.

However, he did not panic, after all, he was a terrifying existence among the top twenty on the Golden Core Peak Ranking.

"What about the three realms of martial arts? It's just like a mantis trying to stop a chariot."

Li Xin sneered, his magical power surging around him like a turbulent sea, his aura instantly rising to its peak.

He gripped the sword with both hands, the tip pointing towards the sky, and chanted a spell. Faint golden runes began to swirl around the sword.

"Heavenly Sword Slash".

With a fierce shout, the golden runes seemed to come alive, transforming into a sword beam several times more dazzling than before. It pierced the sky and slashed towards Zhao Yun with earth-shattering power, determined to kill Zhao Yun with a single strike.

"With force that can break ten thousand pounds."

Seeing this, Zhao Yun roared angrily, and the silver spear shone brightly. He sprang up like an angry dragon emerging from the sea, and the silver spear transformed into a silver lightning bolt, directly clashing with the Heavenly Sword Slash.

In an instant, the sky above the battlefield changed color, two beams of light intertwined and burst into a deafening roar, and the surrounding hills were instantly leveled.

Dust billowed and shockwaves swept through the air, knocking the surrounding soldiers off balance.

Once the dust settled, Zhao Yun was seen kneeling on one knee, his silver spear planted beside him, surrounded by a faint light, clearly having suffered considerable injury in the clash.

But there was no sign of backing down in his eyes.

In contrast, Li Xin, though still standing, had a slightly changed expression. He was clearly amazed by Zhao Yun's combat prowess. He had just used seven-tenths of his strength, yet Zhao Yun was still alive.

He narrowed his eyes, re-examining this seemingly ordinary mortal martial artist, and thought to himself, "This boy should have just entered the third realm of martial arts. If he is allowed to grow, he will surely become a great threat."

"Hmph, I underestimated you."

Li Xin snorted coldly, then his figure blurred, transforming into a streak of blue light, and attacked Zhao Yun again with astonishing speed...
