Martial Arts Universe: With a single command, 100,000 iron cavalry will sweep across the martial wor

Xiaomeng blushed slightly and nodded in agreement, "Okay, I'll take good care of Su Yan."

Su Qingfeng turned around and hugged Xue Nu again. This woman, who had always been aloof, was gradually being warmed by him. He believed that soon he would be able to witness Xue Nu's graceful dance.

Su Qingfeng nodded to Shang Xiuxun and Song Yuhua, then quietly left with the Black Widow. The situation was urgent; he dared not delay any longer—if anything happened to Fan Qinghui and Shi Feixuan, he would never forgive himself.

After returning to the Ming Dynasty, Chu Liuxiang went straight to the place where his master, the Night Emperor, lived in seclusion, but found no trace of him. Without stopping for a moment, he rushed to the residence of his master's wife, the Night Emperor.

Now, Chu Liuxiang only hopes that his master's wife can take action to eliminate Wu Xiangjun. Although he has also contacted Xie Xiaofeng and the Beggars' Sect of the Song Dynasty, those people are too skilled in martial arts to be a match for Wu Xiangjun. His master's wife is also a master of the Celestial Realm, with an eccentric personality and a competitive spirit. Chu Liuxiang believes that she will definitely lend him a hand.

He arrived at the front of the house and bowed respectfully: "Master's wife, Chu Liuxiang requests an audience."

"Chu Liuxiang, what brings you here?" A clear and melodious female voice came from inside the house. It sounded not like an old woman at all, but rather like a charming young woman.

Upon hearing this, Chu Liuxiang exclaimed excitedly, "Master's wife, I implore you to come down the mountain and help me!"

"Hmm? Oh?" ​​Before he could finish speaking, Chu Liuxiang felt a gentle breeze, and a dignified and beautiful woman stood before him. Her gaze fell on Chu Liuxiang's bare right sleeve, and she asked softly, "What happened to your right arm?"

Chu Liuxiang immediately knelt down: "Master's wife, I was harmed by a villain and lost an arm. I beg you, Master's wife, to avenge me!"

Lady Night Emperor looked at him and gently shook her head. Chu Liuxiang had been known as the "Master Thief" in the Ming Dynasty for many years, and this time he had probably offended someone he shouldn't have. No one in the Ming Dynasty would have made things difficult for him, so it must have been because he was too arrogant and went to other continents to steal treasures, which led to this predicament—ultimately, he brought it on himself.

If one doesn't focus on cultivating martial arts skills and spends all day stealing for empty fame, how can one avoid getting into trouble?

Lady Night Emperor looked at Chu Liuxiang's current appearance and gently shook her head. She would not go to other continents to cause trouble for this thief, nor would she want to take a thief as a junior, lest she ruin her reputation.

"Chu Liuxiang, you should know that I am no longer your master's wife. If you want to find someone, go find that old man, your master."

"Teacher's wife..."

"I told you, I'm not your teacher's wife."

Chu Liuxiang wanted to plead again, but Lady Ye's tone suddenly turned cold, interrupting him.

She and the Night Emperor had long since parted ways. The Night Emperor, who only knew how to protect himself and had a gloomy temperament, disgusted her more and more. The two had fought more than once, and finally went their separate ways and never saw each other again.

"Madam, the man who injured me even insulted you, saying that he would definitely take you as his wife or concubine in the future."

boom--

The surrounding rocks and trees crumbled in response, and the Night Emperor's wife's rage swept across the land.

"Chu Liuxiang, do you know what you're saying?"

She didn't readily believe Chu Liuxiang's one-sided story. She herself hadn't appeared in the martial world for decades; even if someone had heard of her name, they might not have seen her face. Besides, she was already a terrestrial immortal of the Celestial Realm—who would dare to provoke her?

Chu Liuxiang was now in a dilemma. He hadn't found his master, the Night Emperor, and guessed that his master was traveling again. Now, he only wanted to provoke the Night Emperor's wife's anger, hoping to use her rage to kill that scoundrel Wu Xiangjun with a single blow.

Despite the overwhelming pressure, he managed to speak with difficulty: "Madam... everything I said... is true."

"Who is it?"

Chu Liuxiang quickly recited the lie he had already prepared:

"It is Lord Wu Xiang of the Great Song Dynasty. This man is an utterly lewd and wicked villain. He has taken almost all the women on the martial arts beauty list of this generation, and he even dares to covet the beauties of the previous generation. Madam, you are also one of his targets... He declared to my face that he would take you into his household."

"The Martial and Minister of the Great Song Dynasty? A mere title of nobility, yet so presumptuous—does he wish to be reincarnated sooner?"

Lady Ye hadn't expected that the one eyeing her would be a top-tier nobleman. It was quite unexpected that a powerful figure would dare to set his sights on her. Furthermore, hearing that the current martial arts rankings were almost entirely dominated by Wu Xiangjun piqued her interest.

Fearing she wouldn't believe him, Chu Liuxiang hurriedly recounted Wu Xiangjun's power and actions.

Madam, Lord Wu Xiang's power is truly immense. Half of the Song Dynasty is now in his hands, he has deep roots in the Sui Dynasty, and even has forces in the Eastern Continent. He is surrounded by countless masters, including Grandmasters and Great Grandmasters.

Lady Ye hadn't expected that Lord Wu Xiang had so many top-tier experts under his command. After a moment's thought, she asked Chu Liuxiang:

"Oh? This Lord Wu Xiang has such power? How old is he?"

"Well... he's about twenty years old," Chu Liuxiang replied, slightly embarrassed.

Wu Xiangjun was too young, and Chu Liuxiang was afraid that the Night Emperor's wife wouldn't believe him. But he dared not hide these things, because as long as the Night Emperor's wife made a little inquiry in the martial arts world, she would know Wu Xiangjun's background.

"Heh, in your early twenties? Chu Liuxiang, are you really not lying to me this time?" The Night Emperor's wife's beautiful eyes narrowed, and she stared sternly at Chu Liuxiang.

She simply couldn't believe that a young man in his early twenties would set his sights on her, a woman old enough to be his grandmother. At this moment, Lady Night Emperor was seventy percent certain that Chu Liuxiang was deceiving her.

After descending the mountain, Chu Liuxiang wiped the sweat from his brow. He had managed to fool the Night Emperor's wife this time, and he could only hope that when the truth came out, she would forgive him for the sake of his master.

"Now everything is ready. Lord Wu Xiang, I hope that after you see the beautiful Lady Ye, you will say a few more frivolous things, so that you can die even faster."

"And then there's Bai Yifei. I wonder how many people he's contacted who want to get rid of Wu Xiangjun. If Lady Ye really kills Wu Xiangjun this time, that cold-faced Bai Yifei will probably have wasted his time."

The Great Sui Dynasty, a secluded cottage in a quiet forest.

Deep in the bamboo forest, inside a bamboo house, Shi Qingxuan looked out the window at Shi Zhixuan, feeling helpless. Shi Zhixuan had been staying with her for almost a month, and Shi Qingxuan, who loved peace and quiet, was finding it increasingly difficult to bear his constant disturbance.

During this time, Shi Zhixuan happily brought her tonics every day, urging her to take them. At first, Shi Qingxuan thought that Shi Zhixuan's old ailment had been cured and that this was his way of making it up to her.

On one occasion, Shi Zhixuan actually told her to take good care of herself during her pregnancy, which stunned Shi Qingxuan.

What do you mean by "pregnancy care"? She was never pregnant, so what's this talk of "pregnancy care"?

Shi Qingxuan thought Shi Zhixuan's illness had relapsed, but after she got the reason from Shi Zhixuan, she couldn't sit still any longer.

She left the secluded hermitage and inquired about the matter throughout the martial world. To her surprise, every martial artist she encountered told her that Shi Qingxuan was pregnant, and with the child of Wu Xiangjun. Even the aloof Shi Qingxuan couldn't help but want to kill the person who spread the rumor.

Shi Qingxuan is clearly still a virgin, so where did this pregnancy claim come from? She has never even met Wu Xiangjun, yet now she's also angry with him—her reputation has been completely ruined by that Wu Xiangjun.

Outside the bamboo house, Shi Zhixuan excitedly placed a pile of tonics at the door.

"Qingxuan, your father brought bird's nest this time. You need to take good care of yourself, otherwise my granddaughter's health may be weak in the future."

Hearing her father's voice, Shi Qingxuan came back to her senses, and at that moment she only wanted him to disappear immediately.

I'm not pregnant at all, so why should I take supplements?

Granddaughter?

This is utterly absurd!

Could Shi Zhixuan even foresee whether she will have a boy or a girl in the future?

She didn't even glance at the tonics. These past few days, she'd been pondering which scoundrel was ruining her reputation; rumors of her pregnancy were now circulating throughout the land.

And then there's Lord Wu Xiang. It's clear someone's spreading rumors, so why doesn't he step forward to clarify? Isn't he afraid his reputation will be damaged as a result?

Shi Qingxuan shook her head, deciding not to dwell on it anymore. The truth would come out sooner or later; why bother with it now?

Not far from the secluded forest cottage,

Fan Qinghui and Shi Feixuan were fleeing this way. They had been chased by the Cihang Jingzhai people for two days and two nights. If Su Qingfeng didn't come to their rescue soon, they would probably be in real danger.

Shi Feixuan helped Fan Qinghui up, cautiously observing their surroundings. The two looked extremely disheveled, their clothes torn, with large patches of skin exposed.

She gripped the colored empty sword and whispered to Fan Qinghui:

"Master, I don't recognize any of these Cihang Jingzhai people who are chasing us?"

Fan Qinghui clutched her chest, panting, and said:

"These must all be the ones that Master Dini has secretly cultivated over the years. We're probably in deep trouble this time—there are more than ten Grandmaster-level experts among them. I really don't know how she managed to train them."

"I see... It seems that Grandmaster was prepared in advance. This time, Su Qingfeng has probably run into her trap."

Shi Feixuan then understood why she didn't recognize any of these people. It turned out they were all forces secretly cultivated by her master. She couldn't help but wonder: What exactly does Di Ni intend to do by secretly cultivating so many experts?

Neither I nor my master have betrayed Cihang Jingzhai, so why can't our grandmaster tolerate us?

Is it simply because they are close to Su Qingfeng?

Fan Qinghui looked at her disciple with a complicated expression. This time, she had dragged her into this mess, and it was all Su Qingfeng's fault. If she hadn't been so devoted to him, they, master and disciple, wouldn't be in this predicament today.

Thinking about everything Dini had done, even going so far as to fake her death to deceive the entire Cihang Jingzhai, Fan Qinghui had already vaguely guessed what had happened.

"Feixuan, I've been thinking about why Dini did this these past few days, and now I think I understand a little bit about it."

Shi Feixuan asked anxiously, puzzled, "Master, what exactly does Grandmaster want to do?"

Fan Qinghui said to her with a serious expression:

"I suspect that Di Ni and the Li Clan have reached an agreement that once the Li Clan gains power, they will fully support Buddhism. Your grandmaster and the Heavenly Monk probably want to use the Li Clan's national fortune to break through their cultivation levels and achieve ascension..."

Shi Feixuan was greatly shocked upon hearing this:

"How is this possible? How can something as ethereal as national destiny be used for cultivation? How could our Grandmaster have such a thought?"

Fan Qinghui gently patted Shi Feixuan's head and smiled:

"This is not wishful thinking. There are precedents of Qi cultivators in ancient times who ascended to heaven by taking advantage of the nation's fortune. These are recorded in the books of Cihang Jingzhai. It's just that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was abundant back then. Since the collapse of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the loss of the Nine Cauldrons of Humanity's fortune, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth has gradually become thinner and thinner, and now there is not a trace left."
