Evil King Shi Zhixuan knew that once he stepped into Li Yang, he would inevitably attract attention.
Fahai had also come here, and his target seemed to be Northern Liang.
He pondered that the evil emperor relic was the key to saving his life. Since that item was on Fahai, he had to retrieve it.
What if he was targeted?
Since he had come here, there was no turning back.
He made up his mind, quickened his pace, and his figure transformed into an afterimage, disappearing into the horizon.
With his speed, catching up to Fahai was only a matter of time. Once they met, he would definitely strike without mercy, take his life, seize his treasure, and then quickly leave.
He thought it wouldn't cause too much of a stir.
Such a person still treated the matter cautiously, which showed the majesty of the Li Yang Dynasty.
Time passed quietly.
A decree suddenly came from the imperial court, shaking all directions!
The content directly pointed to Fahai: He trespassed into Li Yang, committed a serious crime of murder, and disrupted the Jianghu order, and should be executed!
The imperial court's attitude was tough and unforgiving.
The news spread like wildfire throughout the land, especially stirring up a strong reaction among the Li Yang people.
Fahai, that famous eminent monk of Shaolin, had actually come to Li Yang?
Many people were shocked.
Shaolin and Li Yang were separated by several Dynasties, a distance of more than a thousand li?
When did he quietly enter this place? And why did he injure people as soon as he arrived?
"This Demon Monk is too presumptuous! He thinks he can act as he pleases elsewhere, but dares to do so in my Li Yang as well?"
"He is indeed extremely arrogant. Since the imperial court has issued an order, he will certainly not be lightly pardoned!"
Everyone who heard about this was indignant, and their impression of Fahai instantly plummeted.
Although he was a rare peerless Master, in the eyes of the Li Yang people, he was just an outsider.
Now that they heard he had killed a fellow countryman, naturally, public sentiment was agitated.
Even a Prodigy cannot act recklessly in my Li Yang!
They did not understand the truth of the matter, only believing the imperial edict personally written by the emperor.
For a time, public opinion was boiling, and indignation filled the air.
As soon as this matter came out, all major forces knew about it and sighed with emotion.
Fahai, this time, was probably truly in trouble.
The Li Yang imperial family tolerated no use of martial arts to disrupt the law, otherwise, they would not have sent Xu Xiao to pacify the Jianghu, nor would they have sent half of Zhao Gou to assassinate Cao Guanzi.
Now, Fahai has violated the taboo, and it will probably be difficult for him to survive!
This time, the Li Yang Zhao family imperial family might truly use the power of the entire nation just to deal with Fahai alone!
As expected, news soon came.
Han Diaosi, the imperial bodyguard in the palace known as the "Human Cat," left the palace overnight and headed straight north!
After this news spread, the entire Li Yang was shaken!
Han Diaosi, one of the three great Devil Heads of the Spring and Autumn period, actually came out personally!
Undoubtedly, the target must be Fahai!
The Jianghu forces in various parts of Li Yang immediately felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
His reputation was his strength; even if it wasn't directed at them, just hearing the three words "Han Diaosi" made people tremble with fear!
Fahai, this time, was destined to not escape his fate!
That Human Cat's left hand was entwined with three thousand red threads, specifically for slaying evil!
Several Masters who were about to enter the Heavenly Human Realm had already fallen at his hands!
This shows how terrifying this eunuch was!
If Fahai hadn't come to Li Yang, nothing would have happened.
Since he came, he shouldn't expect to leave alive!
Northern Liang.
Bei Liang Royal Residence.
The Royal Residence occupied the entire Qingliang Mountain, with intricately carved beams and painted rafters, extremely luxurious!
By Tingchao Lake.
An old man in a dark green robe stood quietly, with slightly frosted temples and an ordinary face, slightly hunched back, and one leg seemed to be inconvenient.
He stood with his hands behind his back, seemingly just an ordinary elderly rich man, yet he made both the imperial court and the Jianghu unable to move.
He was the King of Northern Liang who emerged from a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood—Xu Xiao! He once used martial power to destroy six kingdoms and swept across the Jianghu!
His prestige intimidated the world!
But at this moment, he was just quietly watching the koi fish fighting for food in the lake, much like an old man from an ordinary family.
At some point, a man in black appeared behind him.
"Your Highness, the Second Princess was assassinated on her way back from Shangyin Academy, suspected to be the work of Zhao Gou."
"This subordinate was about to intervene, but Fahai appeared first and rescued the Second Princess."
"At the same time, His Majesty in Tai'an City has issued an edict, ordering Han Diaosi to act and kill Fahai."
"This matter has already caused a huge stir in the Jianghu."
"There is also the Great Sui Demon Sect's top Master, Evil King Shi Zhixuan, pursuing him, also targeting Fahai, possibly to contend for the evil emperor relic."
After hearing this, Xu Xiao nodded slightly, his gaze slightly lowered.
"Zhao Chun, you and your father Zhao Li are indeed equally narrow-minded."
If anyone heard Xu Xiao's words, they would surely be horrified and uneasy!
Because Zhao Chun was the name of the current emperor of the Li Yang imperial family!
Zhao Li was the name of the previous emperor!
"As for Fahai, for now, stay put and there is no need to help him."
"Let's first see if this Demon Monk, who is famous in the Jianghu, is really as powerful as rumored."
"This subordinate understands."
After a slight pause, Xu Xiao seemed to remember something and slowly spoke again: "Oh, by the way..."
"Send this message to the Young Master."
"Understood."
Soon after, Xu Fengnian received the news that Fahai was approaching Northern Liang.
As soon as the news arrived, a long-lost smile appeared on his face.
In the days since he returned to Northern Liang, everything had changed.
Jian Jiu Huang went to Martial Emperor City and never returned.
Only the last scroll with the character "Yin" remained.
"Jian Jiu Huang unleashed five consecutive moves, all eight moves. Wang Xianzhi responded with one hand, countering a total of sixty-eight moves."
"In the final chapter, Jian Jiu was unleashed. Wang Xianzhi struck with his right hand."
"One sword, 'Inferior Horse, Yellow Wine, Six Thousand Li,' tore through Wang Xianzhi's right sleeve."
"Wang Xianzhi gave his all, and Jian Jiu Huang fought forty-nine moves with one hand until he perished."
At the moment of his death, Jian Jiu still sat upright on the city wall, facing north, his body unbowed, as if conveying his last wishes.
He knew the weight of that sentence.
Six thousand li of dust and wind to keep the appointment, a sword box erected for you on the city wall!
Though the person was gone, the dozens of jars of yellow wine still remained.
Xu Fengnian poured two cups of yellow wine, sometimes laughing and scolding, sometimes silent throughout the day.
"Jian Jiu Huang, you stubborn old man, you were born to work hard."
"Northern Liang's green ant fine wine is famous throughout the world, but you just don't like to drink it, you only love this yellow wine."
"What's so good about this wine?"
"You say you, if your skill is inferior, then practice, but you insist on challenging Wang Laoguai, and now it's good, you've lost your life."
"But you shouldn't let people laugh at your ugly defeat."
"Since it's a life-or-death challenge, then I, this profligate Young Master, should also venture into the Jianghu."
"It's time to practice martial arts. I will personally go to Martial Emperor City, and no matter what, I will bring those swords back."
Xu Fengnian drained the wine in his cup, then picked up the other cup and poured it onto the ground.
"If there is truly a next life, may you also be like Fahai, intimidating all directions."
"In this battle, I will go to Wang Laoguai to demand an explanation for you."
Mentioning Fahai, his brows furrowed slightly.
Fahai was also not peaceful now.
Han Shengxuan—known as the "Human Cat"—was extremely difficult to deal with.
He particularly enjoyed tormenting peerless Masters, and countless souls had perished at his hands.
Although he was the eldest son of the King of Northern Liang, the power he could mobilize was truly limited.
Especially individuals of the same level as Han Shengxuan were extremely rare.
It seemed he still had to discuss it with Nangong Pu She.
Xu Fengnian stepped out of Wutong Courtyard and ascended Tingchao Pavilion.
On the fourth floor, he found Nangong Pu She, who was examining martial arts texts.
"Why are you here?"
She was slightly surprised.
From their experience together, he had always been uninterested in martial arts, so why would he suddenly burst into this place that housed all the world's martial arts?
And Nangong Pu She's cultivation had advanced by leaps and bounds during this period of extensive reading.
Even against a Heavenly Human Realm Master, she might not be without the power to fight, and was no longer the person who could be easily defeated with a flick of a finger.
"Little Master Fahai has already stepped onto Northern Liang territory."
As soon as his voice fell, Nangong Pu She's body stiffened, then she leaped up and landed directly from the fourth floor.
"When did he set off? Where is he now?"
Her usually indifferent tone was now a bit hurried, and her expression also changed.
A hint of joy appeared between her brows and eyes.
Seeing this, Xu Fengnian couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
This Little Master Fahai was not only highly skilled in martial arts and had astonishing Comprehension Ability, but his luck could also be said to be rare in the world!
He could actually make this ice mountain show a smile.
It seemed he had to find an opportunity to ask for some pointers.
