Film and Television Daqing: Starting with the Heaven-Covering Technique and the Devouring Demon Art

“I will be leaving Tianqi City soon,” Li Changsheng replied. “But don’t worry, I will definitely keep my promise to His Excellency. I will also wait until His Excellency returns to Tianqi before I leave.”

"why?"

"Why?" Mingyue asked, her eyes full of confusion.

Li Changsheng smiled slightly and casually made up an excuse:

"Because I sensed an opportunity for a breakthrough. For many years, I have been seeking the highest realm of martial arts, and now, I vaguely feel that the door has opened for me. It's time to pursue the path that belongs to me."

Upon hearing this, Mingyue Xin felt reluctant but was also moved.

“Mr. Li, your cultivation level is already unfathomable. If you can truly advance further, you will surely step into the legendary Divine Realm and become a true martial arts master.”

Li Changsheng gently shook his head. "The title of Grandmaster is nothing but an illusion. The path of martial arts is endless. What I pursue is nothing more than the peace and transcendence in my heart."

He paused, then continued, "However, before I leave, I will ensure the safety of Apocalypse City and assist His Majesty in completing his great undertaking. When His Majesty returns, everything in Apocalypse City will be safe and sound."

Mingyue Xin nodded, a hint of admiration flashing in her eyes.

"Mr. Li's noble character is truly admirable. It's just that with your departure, I don't know when we'll meet again."

Li Changsheng smiled slightly, as if he had seen through the vicissitudes of life. "The beginning and end of a relationship are all preordained. Perhaps in the near future, we will meet again in some unexpected place."

After speaking, Li Changsheng turned and left, his figure gradually disappearing into the morning light. Mingyue Xin watched his retreating figure, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

She knew that the choice made by this martial arts master was a realm that countless people dreamed of, and a height that she could never reach.

……

Outside Tianqi City.

Li Chengtian and his entourage sped northward.

This was Baili Dongjun's first trip to the North, and he was very curious about everything around him.

However, since Yueyao and Yueqing were very knowledgeable about these things, they acted as guides for Baili Dongjun.

Yueyao and Yueqing also hoped that Li Chengtian would be able to save their father as he wished.

But at that moment, the horse, which had been galloping all the way, suddenly came to an abrupt stop.

Immediately afterwards, Venerable Wuzuo shouted angrily, "Who goes there?"

Li Chengtian lifted the carriage curtain and saw a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties standing in front of the road.

He was dressed in black, with a cold and stern face and sharp, eagle-like eyes, silently watching Li Chengtian and his group.

This person is none other than Yi Bu, the sect leader of the Shadow Sect.

"May I ask if the person sitting in the carriage is Li Chengtian, who claims to be the Emperor of the Great Qing Kingdom?" Yi Bu's voice was deep and powerful, as if carrying an unquestionable authority.

"Who are you? Why are you blocking our way?" Venerable Wuzuo shouted angrily.

At this moment, the Venerable Wuxiang also rode up from behind.

He had to leave temporarily for some business, saying he wanted to bring some local specialties from his hometown to the people of Beique.

When the carriage was stopped by Yi Bu, the sect leader of the Shadow Sect, the Venerable Wuxiang thought to himself that something was wrong.

The Shadow Sect Master, Yi Bu, recognized the Formless Envoy at a glance. He smirked and said, "Formless Envoy, you still dare to come to Bei Li? Hasn't the cold of the Outer Heavens taught you a lesson?"

Remember this: I am no longer the great General Ye Yu of yesteryear, and I have no pity for you whatsoever!

The Venerable Wuxiang's expression hardened, and he said in a deep voice, "Sect Master Yibu, we have important business to attend to and do not wish to cause you any trouble. Please make way for us."

Yi Bu sneered, "Important matters? I am here on the orders of the Emperor of Beili to intercept you rebels from the Outer Heavens! If you want to leave, you'll have to step over my corpse!"

Before he finished speaking, Yi Bu moved, rushing towards the Venerable Envoy Wu Xiang like a ghost, his palm strike fierce and accompanied by a whistling sound.

The Venerable Wuxiang was prepared. He shifted his body to the side and easily dodged Yi Bu's attack. At the same time, he struck out with his palm, which collided with Yi Bu's palm force in the air, stirring up waves of air.

"Hmph, a mere Shadow Sect Master dares to block my way?"

"The Venerable Wuxiang said coldly, his tone full of disdain."

Yi Bu's face turned ashen. He hadn't expected the Venerable Wuxiang to be so powerful; his full-force attack had failed to harm him in the slightest.

But he had no intention of giving up. He sprang up again and engaged in a fierce battle with the Venerable Wuxiang.

"Your Excellency, the Shadow Sect Master's strength is not that great!" Baili Dongjun sighed as he observed the battle between Wuxiang Venerable Envoy and Yi Bu, the Shadow Sect Master, beside Li Chengtian.

These days, he has met many experts such as Li Changsheng, Lü Suzhen, and Yushengmo.

Now, when I see Ibn's work, I feel like it's nothing special.

"You want to fight Yi Bu?" Li Chengtian glanced at Baili Dongjun and asked with a smile.

Baili Dongjun nodded.

Baili Dongjun's eyes gleamed with eager anticipation. "Yes, Your Majesty. I want to test my sword and see the results of my training over this period of time."

Li Chengtian smiled slightly, a hint of approval flashing in his eyes, "Alright, then go. Remember, the sword follows the heart, and the intention precedes the sword."

Upon hearing this, Baili Dongjun moved swiftly, rushing towards the fiercely battling Wuxiang Venerable and Yibu like an arrow.

With a gentle flick of his longsword, a streak of light sliced ​​through the air, heading straight for Ib.

Yi Bu was locked in combat with the Venerable Wu Xiang when he suddenly felt a sword aura pressing down from behind, and he quickly withdrew to dodge.

He turned around and saw a young swordsman standing there with a sword in hand, his eyes sharp and his aura imposing.

"Hmph, another arrogant brat who doesn't know his own limitations!"

Yi Bu snorted coldly, his figure suddenly leaping up as he pounced towards Baili Dongjun.

Baili Dongjun remained calm and composed, lightly waving his longsword, the sword light weaving together with Yi Bu's attack.

Both of them were extremely fast, their sword light and palm winds intertwining in a dazzling display.

Sword Name: Frosty Sword!

Baili Dongjun let out a low shout, and a layer of frost suddenly condensed on his longsword, making the sword light even sharper.

He flashed and circled around to Ib's flank, unleashing a sword strike that shone like a dragon, aiming straight for Ib's vitals.

Ib was shocked; he hadn't expected this young man's swordsmanship to be so superb. He quickly mustered all his strength, trying to block the sword strike.

However, Baili Dongjun's swordsmanship had reached a state of perfection. His sword light was as fast as lightning, instantly piercing through Yi Bu's defense and heading straight for his left arm.

"what!"

Ib screamed in agony as a deep wound slashed open on his left arm by the sword's energy, drawing blood. He staggered, nearly falling.

Seeing this, the Venerable Envoy Wuxiang seized the opportunity to strike out with his palm, hitting Yi Bu squarely in the chest and sending him flying several feet away.

Ib fell heavily to the ground, spitting blood, clearly seriously injured.

Baili Dongjun sheathed his sword, walked up to Yi Bu, and looked down at him. "Sect Master of the Shadow Sect, do you have anything else to say?"

Ib struggled to lift his head, his eyes filled with resentment and hatred. "Who...who are you? Why are you so powerful?"

Baili Dongjun smiled slightly, "I am Baili Dongjun, a disciple of Master Li of Jixia Academy. You did not lose unjustly in today's battle."

Upon hearing this, a hint of despair flashed in Ib's eyes.

He knew he was doomed to die today. He struggled to stand up, but his injuries were too severe, and he collapsed to the ground again.

Li Chengtian stepped forward, his gaze fixed intently on Yi Bu. "Sect Leader Yi Bu, you intercepted us on the orders of the Northern Li Emperor. Do you realize how foolish this is? Go back and tell your Northern Li Emperor..."

He'd better surrender as soon as possible, or he can just wait for me to return from the Outer Heavens and raze the Northern Li Imperial Palace to the ground!

Li Chengtian's voice wasn't loud, but it carried an undeniable authority, making everyone present feel his determination and domineering presence.

Yi Bu lay on the ground, listening to Li Chengtian's words, a hint of fear flashing in his eyes.

He knew that the man in front of him, who called himself the Emperor of the Great Qing Kingdom, was no ordinary person, and his threat was not unfounded.

"Your Excellency, what should we do with this person?" Venerable Wuxiang stepped forward and asked respectfully.

Li Chengtian pondered for a moment, his gaze sweeping over Yi Bu, before finally saying calmly, "Send him back to Beili and let Emperor Tai'an deal with him. Let Emperor Tai'an see for himself the consequences of being our enemy."

Upon hearing this, Venerable Wuzuo immediately stepped forward and, together with Venerable Wuxiang, lifted the heavily injured Yibu, preparing to send him away.

Supported by the two envoys, Ib left unsteadily, his figure appearing particularly desolate.

As Baili Dongjun watched Yi Bu's departing figure, a sense of emotion welled up within him. He turned to look at Li Chengtian, who was gazing into the distance, his eyes gleaming with unwavering determination.

"Your Excellency, when shall we depart for the Outer Heavens?" Baili Dongjun asked, his voice tinged with anticipation. "Should we wait for the two Venerable Envoys, Wuxiang and Wuzuo?"

Li Chengtian withdrew his gaze, looked at Baili Dongjun, and smiled slightly: "Set off immediately. The safety of the Yuefeng City Sect Master cannot be delayed."

After saying this, Li Chengtian turned and walked towards the carriage, preparing to set off.

Baili Dongjun, Yueyao, Yueqing and others followed closely behind, and the group once again embarked on their journey to Tianwaitian.

……

Half an hour later.

Inside Tianqi City, Emperor Tai'an was anxiously awaiting news of Yi Bu in his study. Suddenly, a eunuch rushed in, reporting nervously, "Your Majesty, Sect Master Yi Bu has returned, but... he is seriously injured!"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Tai'an's expression changed drastically. He abruptly stood up and asked urgently, "Where is he?"

"We are waiting outside the hall," the eunuch replied.

Emperor Tai'an strode out of the imperial study and saw Yi Bu covered in blood, being supported by two guards as he stood outside the hall. His left arm was simply bandaged with strips of cloth, but blood was still seeping out, and his face was as pale as paper.

"Yi Bu, what's wrong with you?" Emperor Tai'an asked angrily, his eyes flashing with rage.
