One Qi Chaoyang

Chapter 128: 127: Ma Sanhu's Order

The atmosphere in the room was heavy for a moment, but of course it didn't last long. Someone soon said, "This is also the base of the Lan family. It's not possible. I think the Lan family's marriage with Qianshan Country is just an act of self-preservation."

Everyone talked about it and felt that the Lan family would not do such a thing. For a noble family, they needed a stable place, a piece of spiritual field and a mountain of medicinal herbs to support a large number of people.

So everyone thinks that the Lan family will not do anything to cut off its own roots.

Xie Anlan sat upright, listening to everyone's voices. He felt that this was the easiest time to hear everyone's inner voices, and their subconscious words might be their true thoughts.

The other five families inside did not say anything, but instead began to think deeply, wondering whether this was possible.

In their view, the Lan family was founded on the principle of defending against invasion from the Qianshan Kingdom. If such a day really came, it would be too horrible.

This secret meeting lasted until late at night, and eventually the people in the outer circle went out, leaving only the innermost six people in the room to have a secret meeting until dawn.

……

On this day, Zhao Fuyun suddenly received an invitation. It was from the son of the Zhennan Palace, Lan Hui, who was going to marry Hu Lizhu from Fox Hill in Qianshan Kingdom.

"Lan Hui?" This was the first time Zhao Fuyun heard this name.

The time is just three days later.

Zhao Fuyun agreed. Although he didn't know why the invitation was sent to him, he felt that there wouldn't be much danger at this time. At least his talisman didn't feel anything special when he made this decision.

But in his heart he was wondering what the Lan family's purpose was in inviting him.

And he married Princess Huqiu of Qianshan Kingdom, which felt a bit like a slap in the face.

You must know that people from Qianshan Kingdom came in and assassinated Xun Lanyin and Zhao Fuyun.

Zhao Fuyun was in deep thought. He thought that since he was going to take a look, he should see what gift to give.

Even though you may feel that the other party is declaring something, you still have to be polite.

He wondered if he had something he could give as a gift.

Finally, he thought of the fire needles that he no longer used.

There were originally thirty-six fire needles, but he had lost quite a few of them while using them and they are no longer useful.

He prepared a box, packed twelve fire needles in it, and set off.

However, when he was about to reach Zhennan Pass, a figure was blown out in the wind on the hillside beside the road. The wind seemed to blow away the smoke and clouds in that place, revealing the person hidden under the smoke and clouds.

The man was dressed in a grey Taoist robe, had a tall and thin figure, a horse face, slanted eyes, and carried a long sword with a yellow sheath and yellow handle, with a ring at the head. He held a whisk in his left hand, which fluttered in the wind.

The moment Zhao Fuyun saw Ma Sanhu, he knew that Ma Sanhu was looking for him.

He walked up the hillside. This was the second time he met Ma Sanhu. He bowed and said, "Disciple Zhao Fuyun, I pay my respects to the head of the academy."

Ma Sanhu looked into the distance, and after listening to Zhao Fuyun's words, he turned around and said, "Are you going to the Zhennan Palace to attend the wedding banquet?"

Zhao Fuyun nodded and said, "Yes, Headmaster."

"During this period, our Tiandu Mountain and Qianshan Country have fought more than ten battles of varying sizes in the Nanling area. Four foundation-building cultivators in the mountain died, seven were injured, and Yang Qianguang from the Inspection Office was also ambushed and killed."

Ma Sanhu's words startled Zhao Fuyun. He knew that many people in Tiandu Mountain believed that calamity and destiny were born together. There were three calamities between heaven and earth: heaven, earth and man. If a person survived one of them, he would be able to transform and sublimate. Zhao Fuyun could not feel this feeling now.

But he didn't expect that the fight had been so fierce in a place he didn't know.

I couldn't help but think: "Is there really such a thing as a calamity? When a calamity entangles one, one loses wisdom?"

"When Yang Qianguang was building his foundation in his early years, he traveled with a female cultivator to the Qianshan Kingdom to look for the true evil. In the end, the female cultivator was attacked and killed by a demon from the Qianshan Kingdom. He fled all the way back to the mountains, and finally he entered the Purple Mansion from the foundation building stage."

"A big part of the reason for his success is that when he was building his foundation, he was determined to fight for his life. However, after entering the Purple Mansion, he would always dream of the female cultivator who had protected him from the demons' attacks, which made him feel uneasy."

"He said that she was urging him to help her get revenge."

Ma Sanhu's voice was not pleasant, but from what he said, it was clear that he knew Yang Qianguang very well. For some reason, Zhao Fuyun felt that there was some sadness in his voice.

He originally thought that people like Ma Sanhu must have a heart as hard as stone, but he never thought that he had such a side.

Ma Sanhu looked at the mist in the distant mountains and continued, "Zhennanguan Lan Shaoxun is now marrying into the Qianshan Kingdom's Fox Hill and inviting you to attend the banquet. This is a slap in the face of our Tiandu Mountain. This is intolerable."

"When you go to Zhennan Pass this time, you only need to bring this with you." Ma Sanhu took out a bronze ball from his sleeve.

"When you go in, you just need to smash the ball on the ground in front of Lan Shaoxun, and then you can protect yourself." Ma Sanhu said.

Zhao Fuyun was shocked again. He thought that Ma Sanhu came here just to monitor the Lan family because he was angry, but now hearing him say this, it seemed like he was going to do something big.

"Master, what is this?" asked Zhao Fuyun.

"This is the bronze sword and shield weapon ball of our Inspection Office. This time, I want to kill Lan Shaoxun and behead his Liuyang leader to see if he can still do anything weird." Ma Sanhu's words made Zhao Fuyun secretly shocked.

He knew that if Lan Shaoxun died, the entire situation of Guangyuan Prefecture would change drastically. It might change in a direction favorable to Tiandu Mountain, or it might develop into a corrupt and unfavorable situation.

"Master, isn't this too early and too hasty?" Zhao Fuyun asked.

Ma Sanhu turned his head and looked at Zhao Fuyun, and said: "In a chaotic situation, we should use force to stabilize the situation. This Lan Shaoxun is one of the sources of the chaos. Why not just destroy him and cut the Gordian knot?"

"That Lan Shaoxun claims that he is invincible below the Golden Core level. In Zhennan Pass, under the protection of three thousand Red Flame Soldiers, he can contend against the Golden Core level. I will kill him in his pass."

There was a hint of iron and blood in Ma Sanhu's voice.

Zhao Fuyun frowned slightly. His talisman brought him a sense of danger like a raging storm at this moment.

He couldn't help but wonder, if there was a robbery, could it be that Ma Sanhu also regarded Lan Shaoxun as the target of the robbery?

Zhao Fuyun looked at the bronze sphere covered with talismans, and Ma Sanhu's eyes were fixed on him, making him feel as if a sword was pressed against his forehead.

He reached out to take it, and then said, "Headmaster, do we have a complete plan in the mountains to kill Lan Shaoxun?"

"You want to ask if the time and situation are ripe?" Ma Sanhu said, "When we think it's ripe, others will also know it, so where is the chance? How can we know if others have any plans? If only we ourselves feel it's sudden, then Lan Shaoxun must be unprepared."

"The best strategy for cultivators is to fight for a glimmer of hope and draw their swords when the opportunity arises, and to cut off the source of chaos before it dissipates." Ma Sanhu said, "Your Master Xun said that you can distinguish between the clear and the turbid and have decisiveness. Go ahead, there is no need to be timid or cowardly."

　I always forgot to say, thanks to the two big guys for being the leaders.

　　The little pig that pushes, and the big guy with a string of numbers.
