Fox Demon: Starts with Lu Zu template

"Yes." Wang Quan Baiye nodded. "Are you... going?"

Dongfang Huaizhu was stunned for a moment, then whispered, "I think he will go. This matter has been widely reported, and my father also intends to go and watch the game."

A hint of joy flashed in Wang Quan Baiye's eyes: "Okay, then I'll wait for you."

The two smiled at each other, tacitly not mentioning their reluctance to part.

As the sun sets, Wang Quan Baiye put on the new mask given to him by Dongfang Huaizhu and turned to leave.

His silhouette gradually lengthened in the afterglow until it disappeared at the end of the bamboo forest.

Dongfang Huaizhu held the jade pendant tightly in his hand and did not move for a long time.

……

Wang Quan Baiye walked a short distance and suddenly stopped.

"Come out." he said lightly.

There was silence for a moment, and then a rustling sound was heard in the bushes.

The members of the masked group came out one by one with awkward smiles on their faces.

Wang Quanzui was the first to run forward and affectionately took Wang Quan Baiye's arm: "Brother~"

Wang Quan Baiye glanced at her lightly: "What, have you seen enough?"

Everyone immediately lowered their heads, not daring to look him in the eye.

It's really not a good idea to spy on other people's dates...

But Wang Quanzui was much more shameless than others and did not feel any guilt at all for peeping.

"Brother, your mask is so handsome! My future sister-in-law has a good aesthetic taste in craftsmanship!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Quan Baiye first glared at Wang Quanzui. To be honest, he felt that his original mask was actually quite good.

Wang Quan Baiye said nothing more, but his gaze suddenly turned to the treetops in the distance: "Since you are here, why don't you come out and show yourself?"

"Is there anyone else?" Li Quzhuo looked around in surprise.

At this moment, a figure floated down from the treetops and landed steadily in front of everyone.

"Everyone, long time no see."

Yang Jian smiled and glanced at everyone present.

"Second brother?!" Yang sighed, his pupils shrinking, and he subconsciously took a step forward, "Why are you here? Didn't you promise me..."

Yang Jian waved his hand: "Brother, don't be nervous. I'm not here to take you back."

He smiled and said, "I just happened to be passing by and wanted to see an old friend."

Hearing this, Yang Yitan was obviously relieved.

With Yang Jian's strength, if they really want to forcibly take him back to Guanjiangkou, the current masked group will not be able to stop him at all.

Wang Quan Baiye stepped forward and said, "Since we are so destined to meet, how about we go to Wudi City together to take a look?"

"Wu Di City..." Yang Jian's eyes flashed with interest, "I heard that the descendant of the Sword God is going to challenge Wang Xianzhi!"

"That's right." Wang Quan Baiye nodded.

"Now that all forces have gathered in Wudi City, this battle will surely be earth-shattering."

Yang Jian thought for a moment and said readily, "Okay."

"Let's go!" Wang Quan Baiye did not delay any longer. He flew up on his sword and turned into a stream of light, heading straight towards Wu Di City.

The members of the masked group followed one after another. Yang Yitan looked back at Yang Jian, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

"Brother, don't worry." Yang Jian patted his shoulder, "I'm just a spectator this time."

Yang sighed and nodded, and the two of them took off into the air together, catching up with the team in front.

As the crowd left, the bamboo forest returned to tranquility again.

---

At the same time, on the distant coast of the East China Sea, dark clouds gathered over Wudi City, as if foreshadowing the coming of a storm.

On the city wall, Wang Xianzhi stood with his hands behind his back, gazing into the distance.

“What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again!”

The sea breeze whistled, blowing up his wide robe.

A glimmer of expectation flashed in the eyes of the Emperor Wu, who had suppressed the world for decades.

Chapter 167: Passing the sword, two sleeves of green snakes!

Half a month later, Gu Yi was sitting alone on a wooden bench in front of a simple tea stall outside Wudi City.

What was placed in front of him was not tea, but a jar of liquor.

The wine bowl was empty and full, full and empty again, but his expression remained the same, without a trace of drunkenness.

His eyes were always looking into the distance, as if he was waiting for something.

The midday sun was scorching the earth. The owner of the tea stall had already hidden in the shade to take a nap, leaving only Gu Yi sitting quietly.

Suddenly, his eyes moved slightly and he looked up towards the city gate.

A group of figures were walking towards this side - leading the way was Wang Quan Baiye, followed by members of the Masked Group, and at the end was Yang Jian.

"Senior Gu? Why are you here...?" Wang Quan Baiye was obviously stunned when he saw Gu Yi in front of the tea stall.

Gu Yi's gaze swept across the crowd, finally landing on Wang Quan Baiye: "Waiting for you."

These two words shocked Wang Quan Baiye's heart.

Yang Jian stood behind, a complicated look flashed in his eyes, as if he had guessed something.

"Follow me." Gu stood up and pulled Wang Quan Baiye away without saying anything.

"Boss!" The members of the masked group looked at each other and were about to follow, but Yang Jian raised his hand to stop them.

"Don't worry," Yang Jian said calmly, "your boss is going to preserve a legacy."

Although everyone was full of doubts, they stopped when they saw Yang Jian's determined expression.

Gu Yi brought Wang Quanbaiye to a remote mountain top. There was no one around, only the whistling mountain wind blowing by.

He turned his back to Wang Quanbaye and asked in a deep voice, "Do you know why I brought you here?"

Wang Quan Baiye had a vague guess in his mind, but he didn't want to believe it: "Senior Gu..."

Gu Yi suddenly turned around, his eyes as sharp as a sword, piercing Wang Quanbaiye's heart.

He casually threw the two swords at his waist aside, and grabbed the air with his right hand—

"Qiang!"

The sword of royal authority was unsheathed and flew into Gu Yi's hand.

"Actually, I only know one sword move from that old man," Gu Yi stroked the blade of the Wangquan Sword.

"That's the two-sleeved green snake."

The mountain wind suddenly blew, and Gu Yi's hair fluttered with it.

Gu Yi's voice was particularly clear in the wind: "In this battle, I am prepared to die! But I also don't want these two sleeves of green snakes to be lost..."

He looked up at Kingship and said, "So today, I will pass it on to you."

Wang Quan Baiye's pupils shrank slightly: "Senior!"

"Time is running out, I will only demonstrate it once." Gu Yi said no more and swung the sword of kingship in his hand suddenly.

"Just watch carefully. How much you can understand depends on you!"

"Swish——"

With one strike of the sword, the sky and the earth changed color!

Wang Quan Baiye only felt a flash before his eyes, as if he saw two giant green pythons roaring out from the sword, tearing the sky and splitting the earth.

The sword was extremely powerful, yet as nimble as a snake, combining both hardness and softness, and was extremely mysterious.

In a trance, Gu Yi's figure seemed to overlap with the blue shirt in his memory.

Wang Quan Baiye seemed to see the one-armed sword god of that era, with his peerless style that could split the sky with one sword.

When he came to his senses, Gu Yi had already put away his sword and stood up.

"How is it? How much have you understood?" Gu Yi asked.

Wang Quanbaye took a deep breath and said, "About 60%."

"Not bad." Gu Yi rarely smiled.

"As expected of a natural swordsman."

“In fact, when that old man taught me the Two Sleeves Green Snake technique, I didn’t fully master it. Later, when he passed away, I slowly figured it out on my own.

Although these two green snakes look similar to the old man's, they lack some meaning. I hope you can understand this in the future!"

He handed the King's Sword back to Wang Quan Baiye: "Remember the feeling of this sword! Sword moves are dead, but sword intent is alive!"

Wang Quan Baiye solemnly took the sword and said in a deep voice, "Thank you for teaching me the sword."

Gu Yi waved his hand: "No need to thank me. If I fight..."

He paused and didn't say anything else.

Both of them knew the approximate outcome of this battle, but neither of them gave up and the other did not dissuade them.

Why?

Because this is what a swordsman should be like!

The mountain wind howled, and the two men sat in silence.

---

When Wang Quan Baiye and Gu Yi returned to the tea stall, members of the Masked Group immediately surrounded them.

"Brother, are you okay?" Wang Quanzui asked with concern.

Wang Quan Baiye shook his head: "It's okay."

His eyes swept over everyone and finally landed on Yang Jian.

The two looked at each other, and Yang Jian nodded imperceptibly.

"I should go." Gu Yi picked up the wine jar on the table and took a sip.

As Gu Yi walked towards Wu Di City, the atmosphere became somewhat solemn.

Immediately afterwards, Gu Yi displayed his sword power and leaped into the air.

When he reached the top of Wudi City, he said, "Wang Xianzhi! Gu Yi, come forward and fight!"

As soon as these words were spoken, they spread throughout the entire Wudi City in an instant.

"After so many years, someone of this strength has come to challenge the Martial Emperor..."

"I heard he's the descendant of the Sword God Li Chungang..."

Whispers continued to be heard, but Gu Yi seemed not to hear them and looked straight ahead.

Emperor Wu's city was already overcrowded with people.

People from both the human and demon worlds gathered here just to witness this ultimate showdown.

Among them, three of the four demon kings came, except Tushan Honghong.

In Wudi City, no matter whether you are a human or a monster, no one dares to cause trouble.

This is because this is the best city in the world, and the person who rules this city is the second best in the world!

The windows of restaurants and teahouses on both sides of the street were crowded with people.
