Great Love for All Heavens Begins with Huang Yaoshi

Chapter 225: You will rise with this, and you will fall with this

The boy in the gray linen shirt glanced at him sideways:
"You, a fake Confucian sage, dare to lecture me, Zhuang?"

Xuanyuan Jingcheng looked sincere:
"I dare not, but those who do many evil deeds will surely perish. I would like to advise you not to act too recklessly."

Zhuang Bu Ran burst out laughing:
"I've already told you that you're not very good at studying. There's a saying before 'Those who do many evil deeds will surely perish,' which is 'There are gods three feet above your head.'"

"I am a reincarnation of a deity, therefore my heart and actions are as clear as a mirror, and all my actions are righteous. How can there be any talk of injustice?"

"Your actions are so unacceptable to Jingcheng that it is hard to believe they are righteous."

"Heh, you're full of pedantry and know nothing but pedantry and dogma. No wonder there's a saying that scholars can never amount to anything."

The young man in gray linen clothes sized up Xuan Yuan Jingcheng, then looked at the elegant woman behind him and said:

"Hesitation when you should make a decision will inevitably lead to chaos; indecisiveness will inevitably cause future troubles. As the saying goes, you should cut off what you cannot do, let go of those who are not destined to be with you, and detach yourself from all worldly desires and attachments."

"You can't forget or let go of that unfaithful slut, so what right do you have to criticize my actions?"

"The reason I haven't taken action against you is simply because I think a hypocritical Confucian scholar and a promiscuous woman are a perfect match and should grow old together."

Such vicious words made the three people present feel that even if the gray-clad boy was a god, he was still a wicked demon god.

Zhuang Buran lost interest in talking and turned to leave quickly, with Xuan Yuan Dapan and the others following closely behind, their faces expressionless.

As the woman watched the departing figure of the gray-clad, hemp-lined boy, and seeing her own daughter present, she felt overwhelmed with shame and indignation. Just as she was about to smash her head against the pillar to her death, a voice tinged with laughter drifted over:

“If you dare to die, leaving Xuanyuan Jingcheng to live out his days in solitude, I, Zhuang, will ensure that the Xuanyuan family line ends and that you and your daughter go to the Yellow Springs together.”

Immediately, the woman grabbed her daughter in terror, fearing that she might suddenly lose her life.

Xuanyuan Jingcheng frowned, because even if he risked everything, he would only be throwing his life away, and it might even endanger his wife and daughter.

And so, as always, he began to endure humiliation and hardship, watching the crowd ahead as they departed.

More than two months later.

The world is in turmoil once again, and for some unknown reason, the patriarch of the Xuanyuan family of Huishan has taken action against the Northern Liang army.

What surprised all the major powers the most was that Xuanyuan Dapan, who had been in seclusion in Daxueping for many years, had silently broken through to the Land Immortal Realm.

Xuanyuan Guoqi, Xuanyuan Jingyi, and Xuanyuan Jingxuan, father and son, also reached the Celestial Realm.

Many of the retainers under his command had reached the Finger Profound Realm in martial arts, while the rest, like the hundreds of elite cavalrymen, were all at the Vajra Realm.

This left all the major powers dumbfounded. It should be noted that the Vajra Realm is already a top-tier expert in the martial arts world, and there are probably only a few hundred of them in the entire world.

The existence of the Pointing Profound Realm is like a towering tree standing tall in the martial arts world. In Taoism, it is a True Person who has the potential to ascend to immortality; in Buddhism, it is a Living Buddha who can transform into a relic; and in Confucianism, it is a scholar who has the potential to become a sage.

Martial arts practitioners outside of the three religions are even more fierce and domineering, able to prove their Dao through strength, without relying on external forces, and purely using their physical bodies to resist the great calamity of heaven.

This dramatic turn of events by the Xuanyuan family has completely overshadowed the Wu family's Sword Tomb and the Northern Liang royal family.

In terms of mid-to-high-end combat capabilities, it has reached a level that no one in the world can match.

Therefore, the generals of the Northern Liang army have been extremely unlucky these days, and have been assassinated by numerous Vajra Realm warriors and assassins who have gone to great lengths to kill them.

What is most frightening is that these assassins and death warriors are as cold as dead objects, seemingly without any sense of pain. When they realize they are in dire straits, they even have the ability to self-destruct, endangering an area of ​​ten feet in radius.

In a short period of time, even the fearless Northern Liang army was not immune to unrest. This was because the unseen enemy, the constant threat of death, and the constant tension they were under drove many of the already bloodthirsty Northern Liang soldiers mad.

After all, Xu Xiao, known as the "Butcher of Men," had adopted sons such as Chen Zhibao, the "Ruthless Butcher," and Chu Lushan, a cruel, hypocritical, and lecherous man. The superiors set a bad example for the subordinates, which gave a glimpse into the discipline of the Northern Liang army.

It's no wonder that the Northern Liang army wasn't considered one of their own by the various factions in Liyang, and was even looked down upon as barbarians. This disparity from the top down reveals a glimpse into the discipline of the Northern Liang army. Meanwhile, Xuan Yuan Guoqi and his son quietly assassinated Xu Xiao's two adopted sons, Ye Xizhen and Yao Jian.

Furthermore, Xuanyuan Dapan, disregarding his status as an Earth Immortal, captured and killed Chu Lushan, who was protected by three thousand elite soldiers.

As a result, there are now continuous camps stationed all over Qingliang Mountain, with guard posts every three steps and sentries every five steps from the foot of the mountain to the top, with at least 100,000 infantrymen.

Down the mountain is the Great Snow Dragon Cavalry, a force of 10,000 men, renowned as the best cavalry force in the world.

Furthermore, the main force of the Northern Liang's field battles, the Right Cavalry and the Left Cavalry, together numbered seventy to eighty thousand elite cavalrymen.

In addition, 6,000 heavy cavalry and 10,000 light cavalry were stationed there.

The recent events, along with the disappearance of the gray-clad boy, have intensified the brewing storm. The Northern Liang Royal Palace has cautiously deployed 200,000 troops to guard Qingliang Mountain.

All the changes began in the southeast of Liyang. The disappearance of that enlightened reincarnated immortal and the inexplicable attack by the Xuanyuan family in the southeast all pointed to something.

Not to mention that the gray-clad boy was a vicious man who wanted the Prince of Beiliang to pay for his pet dog's death.

This day.

The Xuanyuan family arrived on horseback, immediately putting the Snow Dragon Cavalry guarding the main road up the mountain on high alert. The leading general was Yuan Zuozong, the second of Xu Xiao's six adopted sons.

Elite cavalry from the surrounding area were also rapidly mobilized, and countless powerful crossbows were also aimed at the approaching enemy.

Suddenly, a white cloud drifted across the sky, and a young man in a gray linen shirt lay lazily on the cloud.

He casually uttered a single word:

"kill!"

Immediately, the Xuanyuan family used the Xuanyuan Great Rock as the blade of their sword and charged forward.

The Great Snow Dragon Cavalry remained fearless in the face of danger, disregarding their own lives and ignoring the overwhelming aura emanating from the Earth Immortals.

Yuan Zuozong sneered. As one of the top three experts in the entire Liyang army and an invincible general, he felt that the other side was incredibly foolish for abandoning their great advantage and choosing to launch a frontal attack.

As expected, he was just as he had always imagined martial arts practitioners to be: arrogant, domineering, and thinking themselves invincible.

However, in the face of a well-organized army, everything else will be as worthless as clay chickens and earthenware dogs.

Even so-called immortals on land, as long as they are still made of flesh and blood, how many rounds of attacks from an army can they withstand?

Thinking of this, he saw that the enemy had reached his attack range, and immediately gave the order, and arrows rained down from the sky.

But everyone from Xuanyuan Dapan down to the cavalrymen remained indifferent. When the arrows were about to hit them, a layer of water armor appeared around their bodies, rendering the rain of arrows useless.

In an instant, the voice of the young man in gray and hemp clothing resounded for miles around.

"Xu the Cripple, you'd better hide well. Back then, when Wang Xianzhi faced a deadly situation with 60,000 troops besieging the city, he single-handedly fought his way in and out of the army three times, including elites from major martial arts sects like Dongyue Sword Pool."

"The Wu family's Nine Swords killed ten thousand cavalrymen, two of whom were at the Celestial Phenomenon Realm, and at least one was at the Profound Pointing Realm. They dragged down ten thousand heavy cavalrymen of the Northern Barbarians."

"Let's see if today's group of one Land Immortal, four Celestial Phenomenon Realm experts, a dozen or so Finger Profound Realm experts, and hundreds of Vajra Realm experts can fight their way to the Northern Liang King's Mansion."

"If we cannot hold out, I will breach the palace."

As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of laughter echoed through the sky.

"Hahaha, this is what you call the rise and fall of a ruler. I, Zhuang, will exterminate your entire family and make you live up to your name as a butcher."
