Chapter 192 Meeting (1/2)

Especially the Taoist with the horsetail whisk, his pressure was obviously stronger than the other four. He was not at the common Level 9 of Qi-refining, but most likely he achieved the Great Completion at Level 9 of Qi-refining and even partly reached the Foundation-building Realm!

Such people would likely come from the five major Taoist sects. At this moment, Yang Fuguang was sure that they were the Taoists from Zhongnan Mountain. Penglai was in the east, Shushan was in the west, Xuelu was in the north, and Dongting was in the south. But the Taoists of these Taoist sects couldn't appear in Xuzhou.

However, Yang Fuguang was shocked that the five of them were all at Level 9 of Qi-refining. Under normal circ.u.mstances, even the Taoist sect of Zhongnan Mountain couldn't dispatch so many powerful Taoists. Yang Fuguang had heard about the battle of Niushou Mountain. Nangong Diyi fought against Zhongnan Four Swords alone and defeated them so that they had to retreat.

At that time, Nangong Diyi was just at Level 9 of Qi-refining, but he was able to destroy the famous sword formation of the Zhongnan Four Swords, which showed that their cultivation hadn't reached Level 9 of Qi-refining. But now... the four Taoists at the four sides were clearly the Zhongnan Four Swords.

Yang Fuguang mobilized the Spiritual Qi in the Ocean of Qi, bathing in white light. He bent down to stare at Wuyazi and sneered, ”As the Taoist sect of the Tang Empire, you harmed the Tang Empire. The Taoist sect of Zhongnan Mountain certainly made us sit up and take notice. You are no different from the barbarians in the northern frontier who violate the borders.”

”The luck of Tang Empire has come to an end, and it's destined to fall. Common people can only go with the flow and they can't fight against destiny. Now, the emperor of the Qi Empire has ascended the throne. Zhongnan Mountain a.s.sisted the new emperor to the throne, so we naturally benefited a lot. It was common that we could share some Luck of heaven and earth. As you can see, the Luck of Zhongnan Mountain is flourishing, and the cultivators' cultivation surges. This is proof. So we are not harming the country, but saving it.”

Standing tall, Wuyazi spoke calmly in the tone of promoting truths. He intended to capture Yang Fuguang and Zhou Ji without a fight because he didn't want to confront the Zhongwu Army face to face. This was the gift that he wanted to give to Zhu Wen, so he spoke a few more words.

Yang Fuguang gnashed his teeth and his momentum kept rising. He was building up the strength of his attack. Even though he was surrounded by powerful enemies, he didn't fear. The worst result of his loyalty to the country was just death, but he wasn't afraid of death. He stared at Wuyazi. ”Nonsense! The country is in difficulty, so as the officials of Tang Empire, you should save the country, but you take advantage of the situation to commit evil acts. Your act is no different from bandits'.”

”Stubborn!” Wuyazi snorted and was impatient. Like being stung by an ant, he lost patience and he didn't want to waste time so that the Zhongwu Army could come. ”Since you can't be civilized, then I will send you to h.e.l.l! Since you praise yourself for your loyalty, then die with the Tang Empire!”

As soon as Wuyazi finished speaking, the Zhongnan Four Swords started the attack.

Zhou Ji's face was pale, and his hands were trembling slightly. He was in a panic.

Yang Fuguang was fearless and was ready to die for his country. He knew clearly that loyal officials and soldiers sacrificed their lives to serve the country, but few of them could succeed and be remembered by people, and most of them died unknown in the battlefield. He never expected that he could live to see the destruction of the rebels, to see the silver lining in the clouds, so that he could return home in glory. He was ready to die in the storm, in the battlefield!

As the two sides were about to fight, Wuyazi's expression changed. ”Wait!”

Then he looked north, alert.

The Zhongnan Four Swords already had their hands on the hilt of their swords, but now they stopped and looked north at the same time.

They were all at Level 9 of Qi-refining and had powerful Spiritual Qi, so at this moment, their keen senses told them that masters were approaching them.

Because of lower cultivation, Yang Fuguang and Zhou Ji looked north after seeing the other sides' movements. They didn't know who was coming, and they didn't think that someone would come to save them. No forces around Xuzhou were powerful enough to fight against these five people who were at Level 9 of Qi-refining. Since there were no forces, who would come to save them? Who dared to save them and who was able to save them?

But they did not think that Wuyazi was deceiving them as there was no need for it.

Tonight, the moon was very bright and high in the sky. There were many stars too. The Milky Way was lying beyond the Void, shining brightly.

On the majestic gate tower, four people rose against the wind and flew towards them, their clothes fluttering.

Very soon, they were not far away. It was a man and three women. The man in front was tall and upright. He was holding a folding fan.

”I am flattered by the manner of your welcome.”

The three women spread out, each occupying a roof. The man with the folding fan approached casually as if unaware of the dangerous situation before him. A courtyard away from everyone, he stopped and stood on the roof. He folded his hands to salute, ”If I've spoiled your fighting mood, I apologize.”

Yang Fuguang and Zhou Ji had no idea what was happening because both of them didn't know this man and didn't know what he meant. Wuyazi's face darkened, and he could feel the other side's fluctuation of Spiritual Qi. He was also at Level 9 of Qi-refining.

Besides this young man, the three women also had strong breaths. He was slightly frightened because he didn't know who they were. It was incredible that all of them had such powerful cultivation because all the people in the world, who were at Level 9 of Qi-refining, were in former Chang'an and present Taoist sects and borders. Why would these four people, who were at Level 9 of Qi-refining, appear in the interior of the Central Plains?

The three women were all very beautiful, but who were they?

However, Wuyazi had an important thing to do, so he had no intention to be entangled with them. He didn't think who would have the courage to ruin the business of Zhongnan Mountain because no one in the Taoist sects all over the world dared to do so. And he didn't think these four people, who were at Level 9 of Qi-refining, had the strength to fight against them either.

So Wuyazi said coldly, ”While Zhongnan Mountain is dealing with the affairs, irrelevant people should keep out of the way. Don't make me repeat it.”
