Wuque cultivated day and night, wasn't it precisely to defeat Fahai and reclaim everything that belonged to him?
Why suddenly say there's no need to challenge him anymore?
As Lianxing stood there stunned, Yaoyue handed her a piece of intelligence.
"This is the Tianji Tower's latest ranking."
Lianxing took it and opened it, her face instantly filled with shock.
On that exquisitely delicate face, the look of horror lingered for a long time!
Both the Heavenly Ranking and the heavenly pride ranking had reached the top spot!
Even more shocking was that the Tianji Old Man had given the evaluation of "comparable to an Immortal"!
This... this had simply exceeded the limits of what she could imagine!
Lianxing suddenly looked up at Yaoyue, her face full of shock and disbelief.
"Sister, are those rumors true?"
"Did Fahai really defeat Fan Qinghui and also kill Zhuge Zhengwo, the Immortal of Six Doors?"
In fact, Yihua Palace had already heard this news.
It was just that at the time, Lianxing dismissed it as Jianghu gossip, not to be trusted.
A Great Grandmaster defeating Fan Qinghui, a Half-Step Celestial Being, was already shocking enough to the world.
Not to mention slaying a true Immortal.
She had dismissed it as a baseless rumor at the time.
How could such a Heaven-Defying person exist in this world?
But now, the news Yaoyue brought back made it impossible for her to ignore.
Yaoyue nodded gently, "I saw it with my own eyes; there's no mistake."
Hearing this, Lianxing frowned slightly, her expression complex.
Could such a Prodigy truly exist in the world?
"If that's truly the case, then there's indeed no need."
"Wuque probably won't catch up to Fahai in this lifetime."
Although she had great confidence in Hua Wuque, whom she had personally trained.
But it also depended on who the opponent was.
Fahai was simply a once-in-a-century monster, an unprecedented existence.
How could one compete against such an opponent?
At the same time, at Six Doors.
The Four Great Arresters each had red eyes, their fists clenched, heads bowed in silence.
The entire Six Doors was filled with oppressive stillness.
Not just them, but almost everyone, had faces filled with grief and anger.
The Sect Leader was dead!
No one had expected that an Immortal would one day fall!
To them, this was undoubtedly a cataclysmic blow.
Immortals, above all living beings, suppressed the world, and all nations revered Immortals as honored guests.
Every Immortal was an existence capable of influencing the Jianghu's structure.
Yet, such a supreme expert had also fallen!
Cold Blood suddenly looked up, turned, and strode out the door.
"Cold Blood, where are you going?"
"I'm going to avenge Master!"
Wuqing looked up, tears in her eyes, her sadness evident.
Zhuge Zhengwo had raised them to adulthood and taught them martial arts.
In the hearts of the four of them, he was not only their Master but also their family.
Now that Master had died, it was nothing less than the sky falling for them.
"Do you really think you can defeat him?"
Wuqing coldly stopped Cold Blood, who wanted to fight to the death.
"Fahai could even kill Master; what makes you think you can defeat him?"
"Then what should we do? Just let it go?"
"No matter the cost, we must get revenge!"
Tie Shou and Zhuiming both nodded, "We must avenge Master!"
Though they had the desire for revenge, they didn't know where to start.
Fahai's current cultivation was probably difficult even for an Immortal to eliminate.
Wuqing's expression suddenly shifted, as if she had thought of something crucial, and slowly uttered two words.
"The Emperor!"
It was already extremely difficult for Jianghu people to threaten Fahai.
If they truly wanted to eliminate him, they could only find another way.
Perhaps they could emulate Xu Xiao's old tactic and use military force to suppress the Jianghu!
If they could mobilize the Great Ming Iron Cavalry to besiege Shaolin!
They would surely make him bow and compromise!
Back then, Xu Xiao's three hundred thousand strong army shattered the spine of the Liyang Jianghu.
Today, Great Ming also had the strength to repeat it!
Under the iron-blooded military might, how could Shaolin dare to disobey?
"Even Shaolin would be no match for hundreds of thousands of troops!"
As Wuqing's words fell, the other three all looked pleasantly surprised.
"Precisely, the Emperor!"
"Quick, let's go to the palace now and request an audience with His Majesty!"
"We must avenge Master!"
At the same time, within Dragon Guard Villa.
Tie Dan Shen Hou, Zhu Wushi, was currently astonished, uncharacteristically losing his composure.
It was rare for something to move such a cunning and deep-thinking person.
But the intelligence in his hand stated that Fahai was simply too astonishing!
He was practically like a demon.
Only then did Zhu Wushi show a look of shock.
Although he had long regarded Fahai as a formidable enemy and overestimated his capabilities.
He hadn't expected to still underestimate this person!
The strength Fahai displayed completely exceeded his expectations!
This meticulous old fox was now thoroughly shaken.
Zhuge Zhengwo, as a high-ranking official of Great Ming, controlled Six Doors and had many skirmishes with Zhu Wushi.
Zhu Wushi knew very well that the old man's strength was terrifyingly powerful!
An Immortal presiding over it, his combat power was virtually invincible!
Even if he had endured for many years and diligently cultivated the Absorption Skill, the outcome was still uncertain.
He had never expected Zhuge Zhengwo to fall into Fahai's hands!
This way, the biggest obstacle in front of him had been cleared!
Although Fahai had not been brought under his control, the "contribution" he made was not small.
The Four Great Arresters of Six Doors had been crippled by him!
Now, Zhuge Zhengwo, this Immortal, had also been slain!
The East Factory Director, Cao Zhengchun, had also been eliminated!
The entire Great Ming now had no forces that could contend with Dragon Guard Villa!
Over the years, the Villa had already become deeply entrenched, spreading throughout Great Ming!
Lord Shenhou not only controlled the country but also held fatal leverage over the Ten Great Generals, able to command the world at any time!
His time had come!
It was time for a change on the throne!
"Little Emperor, this country should have been mine."
Liyang, the river water surged and flowed.
Xie Guanying, dressed in a scholar's robe, put down his fishing rod, read the intelligence in his hand, and raised an eyebrow slightly.
What a Fahai!
He truly hadn't expected this person to grow so quickly!
Indeed, he was a person imbued with true Dragon Qi!
In a short time, he was already comparable to an Immortal!
The more he retreated, the more a cold glint flashed in Xie Guanying's eyes; Fahai's true Dragon Luck must be seized!
His life's planning, every step calculated, was all for the sake of Luck.
Now, with such immense Luck before him, if he didn't act, wouldn't it be against the natural order?
With Zhuge Zhengwo's demise, Great Ming would surely be enraged.
It was impossible for them to remain indifferent.
Perhaps they would, like King of Northern Liang Xu Xiao, march an army to flatten the Jianghu.
But, what of it?
"Come."
Xie Guanying called out softly.
In an instant, a dark figure quietly appeared behind him.
"Go investigate Nangong Pu She's whereabouts."
Nangong and Fahai had deep affection; perhaps, this could be used to create some leverage.
As for familial bonds.
Heh.
Xie Guanying's century-long scheme, how could it be swayed by such romantic sentiments?
Northern Liang, Qingliang Mountain.
A princely mansion, majestically situated on the mountain peak, grand and imposing, with countless gates and households, displaying ultimate luxury.
With carved beams and painted rafters, it showcased the utmost human wealth, incredibly extravagant, leaving one dumbfounded.
Within the mansion, Xu Fengnian, who once roamed the streets, had undergone a complete transformation.
Dressed in brocade robes and jade belt, with a jade hairpin in his hair and ornate pendants, he was dashing and elegant, like an Immortal descended to the mortal world.
Gone was the shabby, disheveled appearance of his earlier impoverished days.
A secret agent from Wutong Courtyard quickly stepped into the courtyard, respectfully presenting a piece of intelligence.
