A Man in the Snow: Starting with a Sword Challenge to the Northern Liang Prince's Palace

Outside Liangzhou City.

On the official road.

A light drizzle falls on a tree-lined path outside the city.

A carriage was traveling along, and inside the carriage was a young man dressed in a blue robe, holding a book in his right hand and a cup of tea in his left.

There was also a very beautiful woman beside him, who was brewing tea for him.

The man looked to be no more than twenty years old, dressed more like a scholar, with an ordinary appearance, except for his dark eyes which were full of wisdom.

The man's name is Ye Yun, and he is twenty-five years old.

He also had a special identity: the son of Ye Baikui, a soldier of the Western Chu Kingdom.

There is only one purpose for this trip to Northern Liang.

That is to challenge the Northern Liang Prince's Mansion and, incidentally, avenge his father's death.

[Sole Main Quest: Become the Best in the World]

Ye Yun put down the book in his hand, calmly sipped his tea, and a confident smile appeared on his lips.

Yes, he is a time traveler.

Four years ago, he traveled to a snowy world, and immediately after arriving, he discovered that he had become Ye Baikui's non-existent son.

Moreover, a system was awakened right from the start.

This system is amazing; it directly bestowed upon him unparalleled swordsmanship talent and gifted him a celestial sword.

He also gave the nameless "Heavenly Sword" a matching cultivation technique.

For the past four years, Ye Yun has been hiding in the old territory of Western Chu, using the connections and wealth left by the Ye family to cultivate his own power.

It wasn't until a month ago that he successfully broke through the barrier and achieved the terrestrial immortal realm. If he wanted to make further progress, he simply couldn't do it through hard work alone.

With his current martial arts skills and cultivation, he could go anywhere in the world, which would be a good opportunity to resolve the old grudges of the Ye family and make his Dao heart more stable.

Although Xu Xiao had 300,000 elite troops under his command, he could not stay in the Northern Liang royal palace all the time.

Although Xu Xiao was protected by many top-tier experts, he remained fearless.

Although Li Chungang, the Sword God of the Spring and Autumn Period, was also there, so what?

Since we're going to take revenge, let the whole world know.

As long as there is one member of the Ye family, they can shake up the entire world.

The carriage moved slowly forward and entered Lingzhou City.

"Young master, we have arrived at Lingzhou City."

"Okay, let's stop up ahead!"

Ye Yun got off the carriage and went into the tavern. He chose a spot with a view of the street, put down a silver ingot, ordered a pot of good wine, and a plate of peanuts.

"Sir, would you like a serving of beef?"

"No need, I don't eat beef."

While the waiter was serving the dishes, Ye Yun curiously looked around Lingzhou City.

Before the fight begins, you naturally need to eat and drink your fill.

At this moment, a troop of cavalry is slowly moving forward on the street.

The leader of the cavalry was a fat man with a bloated, ball-like build, fully armored. This man was Chu Lushan, one of Xu Xiao's six adopted sons.

This person is ruthless and vicious, cruel in his methods, and lustful and murderous.

This man deserves to die!

"The show is about to begin."

"Xiaodie, inform them to proceed according to plan."

"Yes, young master."

Ye Yun picked up the wine pot on the table and walked out of the tavern with a smile.

One man stood in the middle of the road, blocking the dozens of cavalrymen in front of him.

The surrounding people all hid and pointed at each other, thinking that the young man had lost his mind and was trying to kill himself.

Chu Lushan pulled on the horse's reins, revealing a cruel smile: "Oh, where did this drunken scholar come from? Instead of staying home and playing with your pen, you've come to block your grandfather's way. Have you gone stupid from reading too much?"

Ye Yun smiled slightly, took a sip of wine, and said coldly, "My name is Ye Yun. Remember who sent you to the Yellow Springs?"

The words fell.

The wine in the flask in his hand instantly transformed into a massive surge of sword intent, overwhelming everything. Though small in size, it possessed extremely strong sword intent, instantly engulfing the dozens of iron cavalry led by Chu Lushan, just like a tidal wave.

Dozens of sword energies instantly surrounded Chu Lushan.

"This...is...a terrestrial sword immortal."

Chu Lushan uttered his last words with trembling hands before turning into a bloody mist.

"What a pity, such fine wine."

Dozens of still-warm corpses of Northern Liang cavalrymen remained on the streets.

The Northern Liang Royal Palace.

Qingliang Mountain.

Beneath the Listening to the Tide Pavilion.

In the dark dungeon, a pair of eyes suddenly opened, and a disheveled, short old man said with surprise, "A sword immortal? Such pure sword intent, who could it be?"

This was a sword intent that excited even his very soul.

Meanwhile, Xu Xiao, who was dealing with important military matters, stopped writing.

"It seems a master has arrived."

"Your Highness, this person's cultivation is above mine, and he has ill intentions."

Xu Yanbing, who was standing beside him, was a master of the Celestial Phenomenon Realm and was skilled in sensing qi. He could naturally sense that the power of the sword just now carried pure killing intent.

A figure appeared at the door and went straight to Xu Xiao: "Your Highness, something terrible has happened. Chu Lushan, along with dozens of elite cavalrymen, was killed by a man in a green robe with a single sword strike on the main street in the east of the city."

The newcomer was Han Laoshan, the junior brother of Wang Xiu, the former spear master, who was also a first-rank finger-pointing expert.

Click!

Even though Xu Xiao was used to life and death, he still couldn't help but be furious. His face turned ashen, his eyes were bloodshot, and he had already broken the pen in his hand.

With a single sword strike, he pierced through dozens of armors, killing Chu Lushan, a Vajra Realm expert, along with him.

Who exactly is this person?

They dare to challenge Northern Liang.

A woman in blue?

Could it be Cao Changqing?

"Where is this person? Quickly gather your men."

Xu Xiao's voice was deep and powerful.

"He's heading towards the Northern Liang King's Palace."

"Your Highness, I'm going to kill this man."

Xu Yanbing was not afraid. Although he sensed that the opponent's strength was probably at the Sword Immortal realm, he still dared to take up his spear and fight.

Xu Xiao gripped the scroll in his hand and calmly said, "This person's cultivation is above yours, and he deliberately killed my adopted son in the street. I suppose his target is me."

Xu Xiao, who killed someone with a knife at the age of ten, fought his whole life and was not afraid of the threat of death. What did it matter if he was a terrestrial immortal?

Above the Northern Liang Prince's Palace.

At this moment, Ye Yun stood on a flying sword, suspended above the gate of the Northern Liang King's Mansion:

"Ye Yun, son of Ye Baikui, the military strategist of Western Chu."

"We have come to send Xu Xiao off to the afterlife."

A powerful, penetrating voice echoed throughout the entire Northern Liang Royal Palace.

Throughout the entire Northern Liang Royal Palace, numerous of Xu Xiao's personal attendants, shadow guards, and soldiers were on high alert, watching the man in the green robe in the air.

Amidst the crowd stood a middle-aged man with graying hair and beard, dressed in a robe embroidered with python patterns. He looked up at Ye Yun with a frown and spoke:

"Ye Baikui, the soldier of Western Chu!"

Is his son still alive?

Xu Xiao looked puzzled. After the Battle of Xileibi, only one descendant of the Ye family was still alive, namely his second daughter, Xu Weixiong (Ye Shi).

Ye Yun stood with his hands behind his back in the air, gazing at Xu Xiao in the crowd with the air of an immortal.

Xu Xiao was surrounded by various experts.

Xu Yanbing, Han Laoshan, Fan Zhenhai, and others gripped their weapons tightly.

The entire mansion was filled with iron armor.

All three elite armies were arrayed here, facing the blue-robed man floating high in the sky as if facing a formidable enemy.

To hover on a sword—that's something only immortals can do.

Ye Yun's gaze was icy cold as he said in a chilling voice, "Xu Xiao, come out and face your death!"

"Hahaha, I don't know how many people want my life, Xu Xiao. I never thought that the former military strategist would still have descendants alive. I guess I failed to eliminate them completely back then."

Xu Xiao laughed as he looked at Ye Fan, his unique aura as the King of Beiliang showing no fear of the Earth Immortal before him.

He has so many experts around him, as well as three elite armored units.

He believed.

Even if Wang Xianzhi comes, they still have the strength to fight.

Ye Yun stood with one hand behind his back, his killing intent surging:

"If that's the case!"

"Execute him today."

(Happy New Year, fellow book lovers!)
