Xuanxia

Chapter 1107: Grand Gathering (Part )
Over the next few days, the Northern Frontier Army and the Xuan League continued to advance without encountering any obstacles.

The Xishuo Army that was originally spread throughout Xishuo Province seemed to have disappeared out of thin air. No one was seen along the way. It seemed that they had completely given up resistance.

"That's strange, are you in such a hurry?"

Zhao Hao looked around the empty Xishuo military camp and reached out to move the spears on the weapon racks: "You're not even taking your weapons with you?"

“Not just weapons.”

Hua Wuying's voice came from not far away: "The food and grass are still there."

He approached with a group of Xuanmeng people, with a puzzled look on his face: "It's as if they evaporated into thin air."

Zhao Hao stroked his chin: "Is this not another conspiracy?"

"At this point, no."

Hua Wuying shook his head: "Brother Fu has already explored it. There are no formations or ambushes here. The soldiers of the Northern Frontier Army have also begun to take things from this place. There is no danger... I wonder if it is the same in other camps?"

The answer is, it's the same.

When they returned to the Northern Frontier Army Camp, Fu Qingzhou also came back. Seeing Zhao Hao and Hua Wuying, he spread his hands and said, "All the Xishuo Army Camps are the same, empty, without a single person."

"Not only that, but the same thing happened to the cities... The Xishuo army disappeared without a trace, without taking anything with them."

He scratched his head and said, "I flew around a long distance and looked around, and it was all the same... I also asked a few civilians, but they all knew nothing, and they didn't see any movement in the nearby Xishuo military camp."

Zhao Hao and Hua Wuying looked at each other, with worry in their eyes.

"Let's do this for now and see how Master Baihe investigates the situation." Fu Qingzhou said.

A day ago, Zhenren Baihe also arrived - she did not come with the other members of Xuanmeng, but first went back to Ziqixianfeng Temple and brought a lot of magic weapons from the temple, so she was well prepared.

The last battle in the Styx Valley made her truly see the extremely powerful strength of Zhao Liang, or her lord. Even someone as confident as her did not dare to be overconfident.

Today, they were already less than two hundred miles away from Xishuo City, so naturally they needed to explore all the surrounding cities and camps first - as for Master Baihe, she went directly to explore Xishuo City!
However, with the experience of the last time in the Styx Valley, Fu Qingzhou believed that she would not act rashly.

As they were talking, a white light came whizzing in from the distance, like a meteor.

"Senior Baihe is back!"

Several people's eyes lit up.

Zhenren Baihe transformed himself into a beam of light and headed directly towards the commander's tent where Hong Ruohai was. Fu Qingzhou and the other three looked at each other and rushed over.

"That place... is shrouded in a terrifying force."

As soon as he approached the tent, Fu Qingzhou heard these words.

When the door curtain was lifted, Baihe Zhenren and Hong Ruohai inside the tent both looked over at the same time.

"You are here."

Hong Ruohai said in a deep voice: "In that case, let's listen together."

Master Baihe looked at Fu Qingzhou deeply.

She noticed yesterday that Fu Qingzhou's strength had reached a new level!

When he was in the Styx Valley, he was already able to fight with Xuan Xing, but now... Master Baihe can no longer see through Fu Qingzhou.

How long has it been?
"Xishuo City is shrouded in a white fog."

After a moment of silence, Master Baihe slowly said, "That force was very strong. I didn't dare to get close. I thrust my sword from a distance, but the sword intent was swallowed up by the white mist, like a clay cow entering the sea."

"White fog..."

Fu Qingzhou narrowed his eyes.

Do you want to take the smoker to have a look?

Forget it. These past few days, when he was awake, he was either humming little songs proudly, playing Landlord, or eating and drinking. Of course, these times were not actually long. Most of the time, he was in seclusion practicing.

It would be better to let the smoker go further on his "life and death" cultivation path. Fu Qingzhou always had a vague intuition that this decisive battle would not be so easy... Only when he saw the smoker practicing, the uneasiness in his heart would be slightly reduced. Perhaps, it would be good to let the old ghost become stronger, even if only a little.

"Don't worry about it."

The one who spoke was Hong Ruohai.

He said in a deep voice: "I have issued a summons, and soon everyone will be here... Envoy Fu is here, and with the power of the Eight Swords of the Kingly Way, no matter what conspiracy or trick the other party has, it can be broken!"

Yes, the Eight Kingly Swordsmen will soon gather here!

The Sword of Virtue and the Sword of Benevolence are both in Fu Qingzhou's hands.

Ning Wushu brought the Xing Sword with her. After leaving Tianya, she went to join the rebel army and was now on her way.

The same goes for Dong Qianran. She will arrive soon with the Xian Sword.

The sword has always been in Hong Ruohai's hand.

The ceremonial sword...is in Zhao Hao's hand.

The Sword of Wisdom is in Lan Xiyu's hands. She is now a prisoner and will be escorted here. When the people arrive, Fu Qingzhou will take the Sword of Wisdom away and temporarily hand it over to Master Baihe.

The only trouble is the Righteous Sword.

Qiu Chan's soul is temporarily stored in the sword, and even the sword master Hua Wuying dares not move it rashly. Now it should have been placed together with Qiu Chan...

Therefore, the best way is to let Qiu Chan and Yi Jian come together, first gather the power of the eight swords to save Qiu Chan, let Hua Wuying retrieve Yi Jian, and then directly break into Xishuo Palace!
At this moment, Tang Jiao had already brought the unconscious Qiu Chan to join the Mingjian Pavilion team and headed towards Xishuo together.

"Also, there is one more thing."

Hong Ruohai said solemnly: "This matter is absolutely confidential and cannot be leaked..."

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and a burst of inspiration instantly enveloped the tent, blocking out all sight and sound.

"Your Majesty, you must also come to Xishuo."

he continued.

When these words were spoken, everyone present was shocked!
Fu Qingzhou's pupils shrank: "Why is he here?!"

Hua Wuying and Zhao Hao were not that surprised. They looked at each other with only a hint of helplessness in their eyes.

"That's not so strange."

Hua Wuying smiled bitterly and said, "The emperor has been playing the role of a spirit dragon with us for three years, so he is not a weak person... It is normal for him to come. After all, the ghost behind King Xishuo claims to be the late emperor."

Fu Qingzhou suddenly realized.

"In short, this matter needs to be kept absolutely confidential."

Hong Ruohai glanced at the people present: "Now that the situation has been determined and the emperor has returned to the court, his safety is more important than before. There must be no mistakes!"

"Do not worry."

Baihe Zhenren smiled slightly: "At worst, I can trap him with the Prison Immortal Formula, so no one can enter or leave, and naturally no one can hurt him."

“Hahahaha, that’s not necessary… The purpose of the emperor coming here is naturally to see the traitors executed with his own eyes.”

After Hong Ruohai laughed a few times, his eyes became deep: "I am afraid that he will have to go and talk to the so-called lord in person. Then, there will be too many variables."

"I'll try to persuade him."

Fu Qingzhou had sat down at the table without knowing when, picked up the teacup and played with his hands, and said leisurely: "And Zhao Hao... you should also remember that our best way is to gather the eight swords and use the power of the eight swords to flatten the Xishuo Palace in one fell swoop!"

"Don't ask, don't look, don't listen, don't tell!"

His eyes became solemn: "As long as everything is cleaned up, there will be no more troubles... Do you understand?"
