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

"The Hegemon-King of Western Chu!"

"Haha, great name."

"After I, Cao Changqing, became the Hegemon-King of Western Chu."

Cao Changqing understood.

If he had followed Ye Yun's advice and become a Confucian sage, achieving the realm of a terrestrial immortal, and possessing sufficient strength, he could have saved his beloved Empress of Western Chu when Western Chu was destroyed.

Now that he has learned that Princess Jiang Ni of Western Chu is still alive and in the Northern Liang royal palace, he is determined to protect the daughter of his beloved.

No longer bound by the so-called etiquette between ruler and subject.

Ye Yun revealed a satisfied smile; at least his efforts hadn't been in vain.

If Cao Changqing is allowed to comprehend the domineering way in advance, and his domineering way is perfected through his own cultivation method, then he will not become rootless water and thus head down the path of self-destruction.

Step by step, he achieved dominance and became a true terrestrial immortal.

"Then I wish you, Uncle Cao, to become the true Hegemon-King of Western Chu in advance."

With a wave of his hand, Ye Yun dispelled the domineering sword intent that enveloped them.

As Cao Changqing's own energy flowed, he sensed something on Ye Yun's body that seemed to be suppressing his cultivation level.

"Young Yun, you're being attacked by bad luck."

Cao Changqing had completely accepted Ye Yun, and even changed how he addressed him.

"Killing the King of Beiliang will naturally come at a price. Uncle Cao, do you have a way to break this?"

Since he began cultivating, Ye Yun has always relied on the cultivation methods provided by the system, and he has not fully understood the power rules of the snow world.

In his mind, what the system gave him was naturally stronger than what he had in the snow.

"Young Yun, since we are destined to meet, I will grant you a chance."

I believe I entered the Dao through reading. What are Confucianism and Taoism? They are essentially about leveraging external forces, comprehending the ultimate principles of heaven and earth, resonating with heaven and earth, and guiding the vast and righteous energy of heaven and earth to one's own use.

Since Confucianism and Taoism can no longer satisfy me, I will today transfer this Confucian energy to you, which may help you break free from the backlash of this energy.

As soon as he finished speaking, he didn't care whether Ye Yun was willing or not.

As Cao Changqing raised his hand, a surge of righteous energy rapidly flowed into Ye Yun's body.

With the blessing of Confucian fortune, a wisp of black energy suddenly appeared between Ye Yun's eyebrows, canceling out the Confucian fortune and eventually disappearing.

Ye Yun was delighted to find that the shackles that had previously bound his cultivation were gone, his internal energy flowed smoothly, and his cultivation level had returned to the Land Immortal Realm. With the blessing of Confucian fortune, he directly reached the peak of the Land Immortal Realm.

It is separated from the celestial realm on land by only a wall.

A powerful sword intent swept out.

It was instantly noticed by all the experts in Lingzhou City.

"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have gained 200000 points of Confucian luck. Your luck value has exceeded 200000, and the luck point system has been fully activated."

"Ding! You have obtained a Luck Value BUFF, which comes with the ability to shield you from the secrets of heaven. You will no longer be affected by the backlash of Luck and will have the ability to transfer points to yourself."

The system notification made Ye Yun smile broadly.

Unexpectedly, Cao Changqing gifted him Confucian luck, unlocking more abilities in the "Sword Immortal System" and granting him a buff that prevented him from suffering backlash from luck.

This buff alone allows him to kill without any scruples.

More than a dozen powerful auras had already locked onto Ye Yun's location.

"Ye Yun, you've finally shown yourself."

An aged and angry voice rang out from the Northern Liang King's Mansion.

Cao Changqing sensed more than a dozen powerful auras locking onto their location and warned, "It seems we're going to have a fight today."

Ye Yun didn't care. He took out a mask he had prepared beforehand from his sleeve and put it on his face.

Cao Changqing was a little puzzled, wondering why Ye Yun wanted to hide his true appearance.

Ye Yun smiled slightly and explained:

True strength is not about being fearless, but about having fear in your heart and still forging ahead.

Ye Yun understood this principle after being suppressed by Qi Lianhua last time.

Cao Changqing nodded and said, "What a fine example of being filled with fear."

At this moment, more than a dozen experts from Beiliang were already standing on the roof of Ye Yun's inner courtyard.

Qi Lianhua was the leader.

There were also more than a dozen experts from Northern Liang, including Chen Zhibao, Yuan Zuozong, and Qi Dangguo.

Almost a master of the first rank or above.

"I never expected that Cao Changqing in blue would be here as well."

Qi Lianhua recognized Cao Changqing immediately; they had clashed before.

"Greetings, Senior Qi."

Cao Changqing maintained the politeness of a Confucian scholar.

"What, are you here to protect him?"

"Yes and no. His cultivation is above mine, but he is the son of an old friend and a citizen of Western Chu. Cao Changqing should protect him."

Cao Changqing was not afraid at all and reached out to make a move.

fight.

He's not afraid.

So what if it's "sword armor"?

What does it have to do with him?

"You are the son of Ye Baikui, the one who killed my adoptive father."

Chen Zhibao pointed his long spear, "Plum Wine," at Ye Yundao beside him.

"Xu Fengnian! Are you going to be a coward and refuse to come?"

Ye Yun completely ignored Chen Zhibao and instead asked loudly.

"Xu Fengnian! He's here."

A voice came from not far away, and then four figures flew over.

Sword God Li Chungang, Sword Nine Huang, and Xu Longxiang escorted Xu Fengnian as they descended through the air.

They've all finally arrived.

Ye Yun said in a low voice, "Uncle Cao, if we really fight today, my two maids will probably suffer. Why don't you protect them and leave? After I kill them, I will join you."

"No, these are all top experts of our time, and they are all from military backgrounds. They are decisive and ruthless, and they are not comparable to some pretty faces."

Cao Changqing had no reason to retreat; he feared no one.

"Believe me, our goal is not to fight to the death. Northern Liang is in chaos and will not be united. Think about the future of Western Chu, and what you desire in your heart."

Ye Yun advised.

He wanted to leave, and even if Wang Xianzhi came, she couldn't stop him.

After hearing this, Cao Changqing remained silent for a moment:

"it is good."

Ye Yun nodded, took one step at a time and stood in the air. He looked at Xu Fengnian, the chosen one of destiny, and a red light flashed in his eyes. Just as he thought, this boy's destiny was flourishing.

So what if you're the chosen one?

Now that he has killed Xu Fengnian, he is no longer afraid of the backlash of his destiny.

Xu Fengnian's eyes were bloodshot, as if he wanted to devour Ye Yun.

With his father's killer right before his eyes, how could he not be furious?

"Crimson Sword!"

Ye Yun shouted.

call out!

A crimson light flashed, and a crimson longsword landed in Ye Yun's hand.

Ye Yun unleashed a domineering and scorching sword intent from his longsword, pointing at the surrounding experts and saying, "Come at me all at once!"

The unparalleled talent of the peerless sword immortal caused those with lower cultivation levels to immediately take several steps back.

Xu Fengnian was so shocked by the powerful sword intent that he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.

Jian Jiuhuang, who was beside him, hurriedly channeled his inner energy into him: "Young Master, this person's cultivation is too high. Perhaps we should step back first."

"Kid, if Ye Yun really goes berserk, I might not be able to stop him for you."

Li Chungang also advised Xu Fengnian to leave.

That's a ruthless person who even Xu Xiao killed.

"Hahaha, even if I, Xu Fengnian, have to risk my life today, I will kill this man."

Xu Fengnian pointed at Ye Yun and roared.

Ye Yun's lips curled into a faint, cold smile. Xu Fengnian was like an ant in front of him, yet he dared to threaten to kill him.

Xu Fengnian!

Do you deserve it?
