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

Sikong Zhaixing was taken aback: "That's true."

At this moment, another group of people came up the stairs. The leader was a handsome middle-aged man with about ten followers. After looking around, he sat down to one side. These people were all quite capable, each possessing cultivation levels above the Innate Realm.

Lu Xiaofeng recognized him at a glance: "Hmm? Heavenly Blade Song Que is here too."

It seems that the Yang Gong Treasure Trove also held considerable appeal for other forces in the Sui Dynasty.

Sikong Zhaixing glanced at Tian Dao Song Que and laughed, "That's for sure. The Yang Gong Treasury is overflowing with gold, silver, treasures, weapons, and armor. Now that the news has spread, all the forces of the Sui Dynasty will surely rush to Luoyang."

Lu Xiaofeng took a sip of the wine that had just been served and pondered, "Lord Wu Xiang has really pulled off a pretty big move. What is he trying to achieve by making the matter of Yang Gong's treasure vault public? Even for him, it would probably be extremely difficult to obtain the treasure within."

Just then, there was another sound on the stairs, and the group looked up. Sikong Zhaixing whispered, "Hey, someone else is coming up. This restaurant is about to become a hideout for all sorts of powerful figures."

Lu Xiaofeng put down his wine cup and continued, "This place is close to Yuema Bridge, so it's a good opportunity to spy on what's happening on the other side of the bridge. Most of these people gathered here are probably watching the other side of the bridge."

Ximen Chuixue suddenly spoke, his tone cold: "Those who came are not from the Central Plains, and... they are not from the same group."

Sikong Zhaixing took a closer look and nodded, saying, "They are Koreans, and also ** people. This makes the situation even more complicated."

The group that had just come upstairs dispersed and sat down. At a corner table sat an elderly man and two young women. As soon as they sat down, one of the women whispered to the old man, "Master, shouldn't we go find our senior sister first?"

The old man's expression turned stern, and he rebuked, "Junyu, you already know that your senior sister is dead. The Yang Gong Treasure Vault is of paramount importance. If the Central Plains people obtain its treasures and weapons, Goryeo will face a great calamity. This operation must not allow the treasure vault to fall into their hands."

The younger girl beside her quickly tugged at her senior sister's sleeve and whispered, "Senior sister, let's listen to Master. Senior sister's revenge... can wait until later."

These three were none other than Fu Cailin, the master swordsman from Goryeo, and his apprentices Fu Junyu and Fu Junqiang. Upon learning of the treasure vault, they hurriedly set off for Luoyang.

Fu Junyu lowered her head and remained silent, unwilling to believe that her senior sister, Fu Junzhuo, was dead. However, her master insisted on her sister's death and even forbade her from going to Yangzhou to investigate, which she couldn't understand.

Fu Cailin ignored his two disciples. His alliance with Martial Venerable Bi Xuan was aimed at destroying the Yang Gong Treasure Vault. If the Central Plains were to grow stronger through this, Goryeo and the Central Plains would face endless troubles. They could not allow the Central Plains to rise again.

In another corner of the restaurant, Song Que, the Heavenly Blade, glanced at Fu Cailin and Bi Xuan, his expression gradually becoming serious.

Fu Cailin actually dared to set foot in the Central Plains this time, and even appeared with Martial Venerable Bi Xuan. It seems that the two had made an agreement.

Kou Zhong stood beside Song Que and said somewhat uneasily, "Grandpa, is it inappropriate for us to come here? After all, this is Lord Wu Xiang's territory. If we offend him, things might not end well."

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling had previously encountered Song Que, the Heavenly Saber, by chance. After a conversation, Song Que greatly admired the two and invited them to travel with him to Luoyang. Upon learning that Kou Zhong was the young marshal of the Jianghuai Army, Song Que was even more inclined to betroth his daughter, Song Yuzhi, to him. He thought highly of Kou Zhong and even gave him pointers on his swordsmanship.

Song Que stroked his long beard, coldly glancing at the foreigners, and said, "It's alright. Lord Wu Xiang shouldn't be concerned about us right now. Luoyang is a mixed bag these days, with many foreigners here, and the Demonic Sect and Cihang Jingzhai have also arrived. Lord Wu Xiang's primary opponents are them; he might not care if we come."

Song Yuzhi found it boring. Her trip to Luoyang was not for Yang Gong's treasure trove, but simply to see her sister, Song Yuhua, and to see how she had been these days, and whether she had suffered any injustice at the hands of Lady Wu Xiang.

Hearing Song Que's words, Kou Zhong felt slightly relieved. Wu Xiangjun had recently extorted money from their adoptive father, and Kou Zhong really didn't want to provoke this ruthless man again. He let out a sigh of relief and said, "That's good. Wu Xiangjun's Yangzhou city is very close to our Jianghuai army's territory; I'm afraid that angering him will implicate my adoptive father."

Xu Ziling nodded. He hadn't wanted to come to Luoyang in the first place, as both Shi Feixuan and Shang Xiuxun were there, and both were women he admired. He had never been able to let go of Shi Feixuan, and as for Shang Xiuxun, ever since the incident at the Pegasus Ranch, he had always felt guilty towards Lu Miaozi—if it weren't for him, Lu Miaozi wouldn't have had his martial arts crippled by Lord Wu Xiang, and his fate would still be unknown.

Lady Night Emperor watched the endless stream of martial artists, her heart filled with curiosity. A mere Yang Gong Treasure Vault had attracted so many Celestial Realm immortals, and even Grandmasters and Grandmaster-level experts. What extraordinary items were hidden within this vault? Could it truly contain rare treasures?

At this moment, dozens of guards suddenly surged into the restaurant. Dugu Ming, who had been recuperating from his injuries, was immediately invigorated upon seeing this.

Upon seeing the guards of the Dugu family arrive, Dugu Ming's imposing manner surged. He strode up to the Night Emperor's wife and loudly questioned her.

"My dear, all my men have arrived. Be a good girl and serve me obediently, and maybe I can take you into my room as a concubine in the future."

"court death!"

When Lady Ye heard that this ignorant fool actually wanted to take her as a concubine, she was instantly enraged and immediately wanted to take his life.

Upon hearing Dugu Ming's words, the assembled experts in the restaurant all secretly shook their heads. This beautiful woman was clearly a top-tier expert, while Dugu Ming was merely a cultivator at the acquired level, and his guards were nothing more than small fry. It seemed this arrogant young master of the Dugu family was likely to lose his life here today.

Sikong Zhaixing chuckled and nudged Lu Xiaofeng: "Little Lu, aren't you going to save Dugu Ming?"

Lu Xiaofeng retorted irritably, "Save him my ass! This kind of spoiled brat deserves to die. If Lord Wu Xiang finds out, he'll kill him himself. What's the point of caring about such a scourge of the people?"

Lu Xiaofeng has always looked down on the young masters of the Dugu family. If the Dugu clan hadn't already pledged allegiance to Wu Xiangjun, he would have dealt with them long ago.

Seeing that the Night Emperor's wife was really about to make a move, Dugu Ming was so frightened that he hid behind the guards and hurriedly gave the order:

"Take this woman down! Be careful not to hurt my manhood."

"Yes, young master!"

Just as the guards were about to step forward, another group of people entered the restaurant. It turned out that Dugu Feng and Su Yan had gone to the inn to look for Lu Xiaofeng but hadn't found him, so they came to the restaurant where he usually stayed to search for him. Unexpectedly, they stumbled upon Dugu Ming forcibly abducting a woman. Dugu Feng was furious upon seeing this, and seeing her guards about to attack the woman, she immediately shouted:

"Stop! All of you, stop!"

Upon seeing that it was Dugu Feng, the guards of the Dugu family immediately withdrew their attacks. They knew that this woman's status in the clan was now second only to the old lady, and that she had a close relationship with Lord Wu Xiang, so none of them dared to offend her.

Lady Night Emperor, who had originally intended to kill him, saw this beautiful woman step in to stop her, so she temporarily abandoned her murderous intent and waited to see how the woman would handle the situation.

"Dugu Ming, how dare you! Have you forgotten Lord Wu Xiang's orders? Do you have a death wish?"

Upon seeing Dugu Feng, Dugu Ming panicked. He knew that his sister hated him most for oppressing the people. Wu Xiangjun had warned him before, and if he were found out again, he would probably be severely punished, if not killed.

"Sister, little sister... I've had a few too many drinks and I'm a bit tipsy. Please forgive me this time..."

Dugu Feng surveyed the numerous martial artists around her, unwilling to say more, and directly gave orders to her guards:

"Take Dugu Ming back and lock him up. I'll deal with him when I get back."

"yes,**!"

The guards of the Dugu family took Dugu Ming away, and Dugu Feng then looked at the woman who had almost been abducted. She was curious about this woman, not because of her beauty, but because she sensed a strong threat from her—even though the woman did not show any murderous intent, Dugu Feng still felt that she was very dangerous.

"Madam, I am truly sorry for what happened earlier. I will discipline Dugu Ming properly when he returns, so please don't take it to heart."

"Heh, do you think I'd take it to heart?"

Lady Night Emperor would naturally not let Dugu Ming off easily. Those who spoke rudely to her or harbored ill intentions never survived—and Dugu Ming would be no exception.

At this moment, Su Yan, who had been watching from the sidelines for a while, walked over with a smile:

"I don't think you'll mind. Sister, I promise Dugu Ming won't show up again."

Lady Night Emperor looked at the little girl who was only six or seven years old and was surprised: she was already a master of the Innate Realm at such a young age.

"Little girl, who are you?"

Su Yan's eyes darted around. "My name is Su Yan. My words carry weight. If I say Dugu Ming won't appear, he won't appear."

She was actually quite curious about the beautiful woman in front of her—not only because the woman was stunningly beautiful, but also because Su Yan couldn't help but wonder: Could this be related to her father again? After all, the women she encountered always seemed to be connected to her father.

"Su Yan?...What's your relationship with Su Qingfeng?"

Lady Ye suddenly remembered that Lord Wu Xiang's name was Su Qingfeng, and this girl's surname was Su. Could it be...?

Upon hearing the other person mention his father, Su Yan immediately revealed an expression of "I knew it."

It seems that this person is either her father's confidante or an old acquaintance.

So she said with a smile, "I am Su Qingfeng's daughter. Aunt, let's just let this matter go. Dugu Ming can be dealt with by Sister Dugu Feng."

"Aunt?"

Lady Night Emperor was stunned.

She had never even seen Wu Xiangjun Su Qingfeng's face, so this girl couldn't possibly know her—why did she suddenly start calling her "Auntie"?

"Auntie, don't be shy. Father probably doesn't know you've come to Luoyang yet, right? He's been busy these past few days and probably hasn't heard the news. Come with me to see him in a little while; he'll be very happy to see you."

The Night Emperor's wife became increasingly confused, completely unable to understand why this girl addressed her in that way.

---

Seeing the bewildered expression on the Night Emperor's wife's face, Su Yan realized that calling her "Auntie" had confused her. But Su Yan couldn't care less—the woman in front of him was clearly highly skilled in martial arts. If he could get her help with the matter of Yang Gong's Treasure Vault, perhaps his father could successfully eliminate the people from Cihang Jingzhai and Jingnian Zen Temple.

Lady Ye felt a pang of helplessness upon hearing this. This little girl actually mistook her for her father's woman? She had come to take Su Qingfeng's life, but now she was being treated as one of her own. It was truly both laughable and exasperating.

"Princess, be careful!"
