Sword Roaring in the Sky

Chapter 342 The sun has set, and you have reached the end of your road.
Sun Yanwan stayed with his senior brother for a while before leaving Cuihan Palace. He didn't know what Zhang Qingxi would ultimately choose, but he had already made his choice anyway.

The area around Cuihan Palace was relatively deserted, but Sun Yanwan hadn't walked far before she sensed something was wrong. Even if it was deserted, this was Luojing, so how could there be not a single person in sight?
He stopped in his tracks, activated his Heavenly Vision, Earthly Hearing, and Heart Sense, and a profound and mysterious feeling allowed him to easily locate his enemy.

Sun Yanwan said calmly, "What kind of people are Grand Tutor Wen, Marquis Wu, and Doctor Lu that they would stoop to such a secretive act?"

An old voice said calmly, "Scholar Sun, you shouldn't have come to Luojing."

Upon hearing this, Huo Feihu and Shi Bi, along with dozens of military experts, appeared from all directions, clearly having been lying in ambush for a long time.

Sun Yanwan pondered for a moment, then asked, "Who went to my senior brother's side?"

Grand Tutor Wen Xi said calmly, "The affairs of the royal family are naturally His Majesty's responsibility."

Sun Yanwan was slightly surprised and asked, "Can he beat my senior brother?"

Huo Feihu said in a deep voice, "There are naturally others by His Majesty's side."

Sun Yanwan looked around and asked, "Can these guys stop me?"

Of the dozens of military experts who appeared with Wenxi and the others, eight suddenly stepped forward. Seven of them extended a palm and placed it against the back of another person, while the last person lowered his shoulder and thrust out a palm strike with incredible force, creating a whirlwind in the air. The strength of the palm strike was simply unbelievable.

Sun Yanwan focused her mind and unleashed a strike from the Xuanbing Treasure Mirror. The palm force was silent, yet it neutralized the combined force of eight skilled soldiers' palm strikes, leaving her completely unmoved.

The eight skilled soldiers who had struck out felt a chill run down their spines and took a half-step back.

Although Sun Yanwan had the upper hand, her expression became serious.

Wenxi slowly said, "Scholar Sun's palm strikes are indeed excellent. Although the combined strength of the eight of them far surpasses that of the Songyang School, their palm strikes are not as refined as the profound skills of the Songyang School. Scholar Sun used skill to break through their strength and they were at a disadvantage. If you were to unleash your full power, these people would definitely not be able to withstand three palm strikes from Scholar Sun. But just preventing Scholar Sun from escaping is enough."

Sun Yanwan glanced at these military experts. They must have high positions in the army, almost all of them were of the third or fourth rank or above. Each of them could be called a fierce general. Although none of them could defeat him in a one-on-one fight, the combined internal strength of seven or eight people was indeed enough to stop him.

These dozens of skilled soldiers were scattered around, clearly not participating in the battle, but only preventing him from escaping.

Sun Yanwan never imagined that he would one day face the combined might of three grandmasters from the Great Lang Dynasty. He said calmly, "After you kill me, how will you clean up the mess?"

Wenxi said calmly, "It was already beyond saving."

"Either the Zhang family, the emperor's family, wipes out their descendants and the Demonic Sect seizes the throne, or we'll see what the martial arts world decides after the Fourth Prince is gone!"

"How can there be a world where interests are not evenly distributed, yet people work together with one heart and one mind?"

Sun Yanwan said in a low voice, "Indeed..."

He said in a low voice, "The sun is setting, and you have reached the end of your road!"

"It is not surprising that such perverse actions have occurred."

Wenxi said in a deep voice, "Scholar Sun, there's no need to show off your literary talent. If we're talking about literary talent, you are indeed the best in the world, but so what?"

Sun Yanwan sighed and said, "Normally, I would be interested in assessing the skills of the three grandmasters, but now I have to see my senior brother, so I'll have to wait until next time." Wen Xi asked intently, "Scholar Sun, do you think you can leave?"

A cold voice replied indifferently, "My husband, you may go ahead without worry. Shi Si will surely stop the three grandmasters."

Sun Yanwan chuckled and said, "I'm sorry, I'm married now."

Upon seeing Shi Si, who appeared as if she were a celestial maiden descending to earth, Wen Xi couldn't help but snort angrily and said, "Scholar Sun, are you so trusting of your wife?"

A soft, charming, and innocent voice replied, "The Sun family has more than one wife."

Yang Diao'er flicked the Ice Silkworm Fan in her hand, unleashing the full power of the Heavenly Demon Art. The sheer power of the demon was so great that even Grand Tutor Wen Xi, the National Preceptor, couldn't help but be shocked. He exclaimed, "How come you've also advanced to the Grandmaster level?"

Sun Yanwan didn't answer, but used the Wind Riding Technique to rush out.

A group of military experts tried to intercept them, but this time Sun Yanwan didn't hold back. With a wave of her hands, dozens of colorful threads flew out, instantly cutting the experts from the Great Lang Army into dozens of pieces by the Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Ray.

A gentle breeze blew, and Sun Yanwan had already gone far away.

Wenxi's face immediately darkened, and his heart turned ice-cold!

He originally thought that sending three grandmasters would be enough to kill Sun Yanwan, after all, Sun Yanwan was only a "primordial realm" master. But Sun Yanwan's attack just now was far beyond that of a primordial realm master.

Sun Yanwan is exceptionally talented, so it's not surprising that she became a Grandmaster. It's also not surprising that Shi Si came. But when did Yang Diao'er also advance to the Grandmaster realm?

Although they had three grandmasters on their side, Wenxi had absolutely no confidence in facing these two young female grandmasters.

Sun Yanwan wasn't worried about Shi Si and Yang Diao'er at all, but he was really worried about his senior brother. He wasn't worried about his senior brother's martial arts skills, but he was worried that his senior brother would surrender in front of his own father.

He had only been out for a short while when he rushed back to Cuihan Palace. Surrounded by hundreds of guards, Zhang Qingxi was still fishing, looking quite relaxed. Standing next to him was a middle-aged man. Sun Yanwan had been the top scholar in the imperial examination and was also an official of Da Lang. Naturally, he recognized the emperor of Da Lang, the eldest brother's father.

Beside the emperor of the Great Lang Dynasty stood the second prince, Hei Guanghan, and an old acquaintance, Ba Tianmo. In addition, there were two elderly men with profound auras; even if they were not grandmasters, they were the most senior innate realm cultivators.

Although this strength was enough to kill the senior brother, Sun Yanwan felt a slight sense of relief. She swayed and entered the circle, standing beside the senior brother. She smiled slightly and said, "Sun Yanwan greets Your Majesty."

When the emperor of the Great Lang Dynasty met Sun Yanwan, he seemed not at all surprised and chuckled in a low voice, "Very well, I'll send you and your fellow disciples on your journey together."

"Back in the day, before I ascended the throne, when I was traveling the world under an assumed name, I killed one of Zhang Yuanqiao's disciples. I never imagined that I would have to kill two more of his disciples today. It's a pity that Zhang Yuanqiao taught so many outstanding disciples, yet they all died young."

Sun Yanwan had heard from his senior brother that their teacher, Zhang Yuanqiao, had another disciple. There were several rumors about how this former senior brother died, but he never imagined that he would die at the hands of the Emperor of Da Lang.

Sun Yanwan couldn't help but shake her head and said, "You are such a beautiful woman, why did you become a thief?"

"Why would an emperor wear a white dragon and fish-patterned robes?"

The emperor of the Great Lang Dynasty glanced at Sun Yanwan and suddenly asked, "Although I know that Scholar Sun will not agree, if you kill the rebellious son for me, I am willing to appoint you as the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel."
