Sword Roaring in the Sky

Chapter 341 The entire martial arts world wants the Zhang family, the Emperor's family, dead.

Sun Yanwan showered him with compliments, and Hei Guanghan felt pleasantly tipsy and thoroughly enjoyed it.

In matters of flattery, besides the art of the language used, one must also consider the person offering the flattery.

Sun Yanwan no longer needs to rely on his background. There's no need to mention the Songyang Sect, Zhang Yuanqiao, or the youngest top scholar in the Great Lang. Based on his martial arts mastery and his ability to annotate the Six Classics, if it weren't for his seniority and his connection with Yang Diao'er, Hei Guanghan really wouldn't think that his status as one of the four grandmasters of the Great Lang court, a second-rank official, and the leader of the Hidden Sect of the Demonic Cult would be enough to make Sun Yanwan take notice and treat him with such respect.

Not to mention that this kid has established a stronghold in Northern Yan, with a powerful army under his command.

Hei Guanghan was even somewhat intoxicated, thinking to himself, "A person like Sun Yanwan is destined to be remembered in history. To be praised by this person is truly worth getting drunk on."

He originally had some ulterior motives, wanting to use the matter of detaining Zhang Qingxi to subtly manipulate Sun Yanwan and see when she would go to Zhoujia Mountain.

Yang Wuji wrote dozens of letters urging him to do his utmost to handle this matter well. Hei Guanghan also knew that the marriage of Sun Yanwan and Yang Diao'er was the most important event for the two sects of the Demonic Sect, and it was related to the rise and fall of the Demonic Sect. To put it bluntly, the Demonic Sect was now relying entirely on Jin Diao City. They had already invested too much and there was no time to change course.

Yang Wuji never imagined that a perfectly good demonic army, with his own daughter in charge, would be so brazenly seized by Sun Yanwan and renamed the Xuanhuang Army.

However, he couldn't bring himself to get angry, because the Xuanhuang Army was actually in Yang Diao'er's hands.

Sun Yan came over that evening and started praising him, even subtly suggesting that Hei Guanghan was the liaison between the two families. It was as if she had laid out a huge bait, asking if the Hidden Sect of the Demonic Cult wanted a bite. Although Hei Guanghan knew this perfectly well, he had nothing to say and obediently walked into the trap.

The two chatted happily, and neither of them mentioned Zhang Qingxi.

Both Hei Guanghan and Sun Yanwan knew that this matter no longer needed to be mentioned.

Why speak like two different people when we're family?

Sun Yanwan chatted with Hei Guanghan for a while, then went to find Zhang Qingxi without any pretense. Hei Guanghan neither asked nor stopped her, but just smiled and watched her leave gracefully.

When Sun Yanwan met her senior brother, Zhang Qingxi was fishing. When he saw her, Zhang Qingxi just smiled slightly and was not surprised.

Zhang Qingxi had become immune to his second junior brother, and now he was no longer surprised by anything Sun Yanwan did.

Sun Yanwan is now a legend in the Da Lang court and the martial arts world.

He said with a smile, "If I can catch a big fish today, I will treat my second junior brother to fish soup."

Sun Yanwan sat to the side and waved her hand, and someone brought over a complete set of fishing rods.

Although this action was a small matter, it greatly shocked Zhang Qingxi. He had just thought that nothing his second junior brother could do was surprising, and he wasn't even surprised that Sun Yanwan had come to Cuihan Palace.

But Sun Yanwan simply waved her hand, and someone brought her fishing gear. Doesn't that mean...?

The second junior brother has already quietly taken control of Cuihan Palace?

After a moment of surprise, Zhang Qingxi realized what was happening and said, "You went to see Teacher Hei?"

Sun Yanwan nodded and asked, "Senior Brother, what happened this time?"

Zhang Qingxi looked slightly saddened and said, "This time it was Father Emperor who took action."

Sun Yanwan remained silent for a long time, then sighed and said, "We'll wait for our senior brother to make the decision."

From the moment Zhang Qingxi was born, she was part of a conspiracy. The Hidden Sect of the Demonic Cult sent the Holy Maiden to the Emperor's side, so that the Holy Son of the Hidden Sect of the Demonic Cult would have the bloodline of the Emperor Zhang family.

Any emperor in this situation would have been ruthless and merciless, erasing the mother and child from the world.

In fact, the Zhang family, under the emperor's rule, did exactly that. Although the two major sects of the Demonic Cult were powerful, they were helpless against the emperor's counterattack. After all, at that time, the Zhang family still had an ancestor in charge.

Who could have predicted that?

Suddenly, the Songyang Sect intervened, and Zhang Yuanqiao took Zhang Qingxi and her son away.
Killing Zhang Qingxi and her son wasn't too difficult, but eradicating the Demonic Sect and the Songyang Sect would be a much more challenging task.

Frankly speaking, given the Zhang family's status as emperors back then, it's not impossible for them to seize power in the Great Lang.

The price we paid was too high.

The ancestor could only issue a ban, preventing the Songyang Sect from entering Luojing, and thus suppressed them somewhat, reluctantly acquiescing to the matter.

Normally, if things had gone according to plan, the current emperor of the Great Lang Dynasty would not have lacked princes. Once the crown prince ascended the throne, this matter could have been resolved. But who could have known that the crown prince would be gone just like that?
Moreover, he died a violent death, and to this day no one knows which force was behind it and killed the crown prince.

After the crown prince's death, the princes fought for the throne, which can be considered a proper drama.

At this time, Songyang sent Zhang Qingxi and her son back to Luojing, which shocked the entire Dalang Dynasty.

Sun Yanwan didn't understand at first, but now that he could sit outside the chessboard and observe the two players, he roughly understood...

It's not any particular family or faction that wants the Zhang family, the emperor's family, to die.

The entire martial arts world wanted the Zhang family, the Emperor's family, to die.

That's why Yang Wuji, having just reached the pinnacle of his abilities, came to Luojing to challenge the ancestor.

That's why "Master Aranya" was able to severely injure, or even kill, the last pillar of the Zhang family, the emperor of the Great Lang Dynasty, after the ancestor and Yang Wuji had both been severely injured.

With their ancestor gone, the Zhang family, the emperor's family, was left only with the ability to eke out a living.

This imprisonment of Zhang Qingxi should be the last counterattack by the Zhang family, the emperor.

Sun Yanwan believed that even if she didn't get involved, the martial arts sects of the world would take the initiative to step forward and do something momentous.

Zhang Qingxi has no choice now, but he still has to make a choice.

Sun Yanwan trusted her senior brother; no matter what, he would always stand by Zhang Qingxi's side.

Zhang Qingxi sighed and said, "I still prefer the carefree and easy life we ​​had at Taiyi Temple, where we learned martial arts every day."

"I always thought that I would become a teacher, a grandmaster revered by the world, always doing things that uphold justice."

"I have achieved some success in martial arts and have always prided myself on the spirit of chivalry. In everything I do, I consider the perspective of ordinary people who have been wronged and want to stand up for them."

"I really didn't want things to be like this..."

Sun Yanwan lowered her fishing rod and said softly, "There's a saying in my hometown: life is like a tornado; if you can't fight it, just enjoy it!"

Zhang Qingxi couldn't help but laugh out loud, exclaiming, "How can you enjoy a tornado? If it were..."

"That's more like it."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Qingxi could no longer contain his smile. He suddenly understood that his second junior brother simply wanted to make him happier.
