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

Early March is the time for spring plowing.

Within the territory of Jianzhou Huishan, things were bustling with activity. After two months of resettlement, more than 40,000 refugees finally had a home.

These refugees once owned land, but with the outbreak of war and the change of emperors in Liyang, they lost their homes once again.

Ye Yu looked at the registered list in his hand and showed a satisfied expression.

Now that we have land and people, all that's left is time to secretly establish an army.

"Master, the Lord's appearance in Dunhuang has drawn the attention of all factions to him, which has actually made things easier for us."

Xuanyuan Jingcheng sat beside him, holding a book, and said leisurely.

"Well, from now on, we don't need to collect any more refugees. Too many will cause panic in Liyang."

Ye Yu said calmly.

"Yes! Actually, what I'm most worried about is Northern Liang."

Xuanyuan Jingcheng whispered.

"Sir, why don't you tell me?"

"A secret report from Li Yang states that Chen Zhibao, the King of Beiliang, secretly entered the Li Yang palace and met with the Li Yang Emperor. Doesn't the Grand Master suspect something is amiss?"

Xuanyuan Jingcheng naturally knew that Ye Yu knew about this.

"This matter is quite simple. Chen Zhibao simply wants to form an alliance with Zhao Kai. Either Chen Zhibao has discovered our purpose, or there is a capable person in the Northern Liang army who has seen through all of this."

Ye Yu did offer an explanation.

They gathered refugees, mainly from Huishan.

Xuanyuan Jingcheng, this Confucian sage, has an inseparable relationship with Ye Yun, so he naturally realized that this matter was related to Ye Yun.

"I see. I thought that after Li Yishan's death, Beiliang had produced a person of extraordinary talent."

Xuanyuan Jingcheng immediately understood.

"Sir, do you know why I desire to unify the land?"

Ye Yu asked with a smile.

"Please answer this question, Master."

Xuanyuan Jingcheng dared not make any guesses.

"For the sake of human fortune."

Ye Yu said without reservation.

Xuanyuan Jingcheng frowned, suddenly realizing that he had oversimplified things.

"My lord, do you intend to use the dynasty's fortunes to control the martial world?"

"It's just using leverage to break some rules; you'll understand later, sir."

Ye Yu said it casually.

Xuanyuan Jingcheng did not respond. As for what Ye Yun ultimately wanted to do, he couldn't guess. He just wanted to do what he could do well.

"Sir, why don't we open more schools and clinics so that students from poor families and impoverished people can have access to education and medical care?"

Seeing that Xuanyuan Jingcheng remained silent, Ye Yu brought up a topic that interested him.

"Chancellor, I have actually been preparing for this matter, but it requires a lot of money, so progress is slow."

"I'll take care of the money issue."

"I think we should replace Jianzhou City with our people."

Ye Yu finally set his sights on the main city of Jianzhou, because only in this way could he truly control the province.

"Longhu Mountain, how to solve this?"

There are two major powers in Jianzhou: Huishan and Longhushan. If Longhushan is not dealt with, it will be difficult for Huishan to take control of the entire Jianzhou.

"Sir, please look at this."

Ye Yu's voice was revealed.

A crimson longsword appeared in front of Ye Yu.

This is Ye Yun's sword.

"Does the Grand Master intend to destroy Longhu Mountain?"

"I wouldn't dare. I don't have that kind of strength. Although Longhu Mountain was weakened by my own power, even a starved camel is bigger than a horse. Longhu Mountain still has a terrestrial immortal and two celestial masters."

They were about to fight desperately, and they might have to ask the gods in heaven for help. Without a reason, it would be difficult to take action against Longhu Mountain.

But we can simply plant this sword at the foot of Longhu Mountain.

Ye Yu revealed a wicked smile; this was intimidation.

If Longhu Mountain dares to interfere in Huishan's affairs, then it is to become an enemy of Ye Yun.

If they give Ye Yun a pretext, then the destruction of their sect is not far off.

Unless they are not afraid of Ye Yun.

Xuanyuan Jingcheng shook his head helplessly. If he hadn't chosen Ye Yun's side back then, Huishan would probably not exist now.

The next morning.

A rainbow of light descended upon the foot of Longhu Mountain.

"Ye Yun!"

Zhao Xuansu, who was hiding deep in Longhu Mountain, immediately noticed the sword intent, an aura unique to Ye Yun.

Both Longhu Mountain and Wudang were turned upside down by Ye Yun, but Longhu Mountain fared worse, as most of its Golden Lotus of Fortune was devoured by Ye Yun, resulting in Longhu Mountain's current weakness.

Although Wudang lost Hong Xixiang and Li Yufu, it still has many first-rank masters, especially Wang Xiaoping, whose swordsmanship has been growing rapidly and he is showing signs of becoming the second Deng Tai'a.

It directly overwhelmed Longhu Mountain.

"Ancestor, this sword comes from Huishan."

As the head of Longhu Mountain, Zhao Danxia also discovered this matter. Now, he has long since resigned from his position as the National Preceptor of Liyang and returned to Longhu Mountain to become a Taoist priest, hoping to ascend to immortality as soon as possible.

"I understand that Ye Yun is warning us not to get involved in the affairs of Huishan."

Zhao Xuan was seething with hatred. Now he had completely cut off his path to ascension, but he couldn't defeat Ye Yun. What could he do?

He was probably the most aggrieved person.

I shouldn't have provoked Ye Yun in the first place, which has now ruined my path to ascension.

"Are we just going to let him do this?"

Zhao Danxia was equally aggrieved. He had once been in charge of the entire Taoist community, and he couldn't bear to be treated like this.

"Enough! You and Xiyi both have the hope of ascension. If Ye Yun dares to stop you, I will make him pay the price even if it means my primordial spirit is destroyed."

"Give the younger generation, Qi Xianxia, ​​some pointers when you have time."

Zhao Xuansu ultimately held back, for he understood the danger involved best.

Might makes right.

I just hope that Longhu Mountain won't be wiped out in his hands.

Longhu Mountain is not without geniuses. Qi Xianxia is the most talented person of this generation, and perhaps he can make Longhu Mountain rise again.

From then on, Longhu Mountain quietly closed its gates, and few disciples traveled the martial arts world.

This incident directly made Longhu Mountain a laughing stock in the martial arts world, and many powerful forces understood one thing: this was the pressure from Ye Yun.

This young sword immortal is even more domineering than Wang Xianzhi.

Wang Xianzhi was merely second in the world, dominating Wudi City.

Ye Yun directly suppressed the entire martial arts world.

Even Longhu Mountain, the leader of the Taoist sect, dared not cross that dangerous path.

Who among the other forces would dare to provoke him?

Ye Yun, the true form of the cultivator, who was far away in the Moral Forest of Shangyin Academy, slowly opened his eyes: "I didn't expect Longhu Mountain to be so cowardly. I suppose all of this was done by Zhao Xuansu."

It turns out that Ye Yun never left Shangyin Academy, and the one in Dunhuang City was still just an avatar of his.

But this clone is completely different from Ye Yu; he can recall it at any time.

Who would have thought that it was just the two characters "Ye Yun"?

That alone is enough to shake the entire martial arts world and the imperial court.
