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

Sikong Zhaixing laughed twice:

"It's broken right now. Ximen Chuixue, you should talk more often and stop always having such a cold face."

"Get started now."

Lu Xiaofeng looked around and urged them on. This place was gloomy and cramped; he really didn't like staying any longer.

Inside Yang Gong's treasure vault, Sikong Zhaixing navigated through numerous traps and ambushes. There were simply too many hidden traps in this narrow passage, and he was almost hit by hidden arrows several times, forcing him to concentrate fully and deal with each trap carefully.

Zhu Yuyan and Fan Qinghui followed along, carefully observing their surroundings. At the moment, they couldn't offer Lu Xiaofeng any help; they could only remain vigilant and wary of any potential demonic sect experts who might suddenly appear.

Seeing that everything was alright for the time being, Fan Qinghui said to Zhu Yuyan beside her:

"Zhu Yuyan, I haven't seen Shui Rou all morning. Don't you find that strange?"

Fan Qinghui was indeed puzzled. The Night Emperor's wife, Shui Rou, had not shown up in the morning, and she couldn't help but wonder if Su Qingfeng had gone to see Shui Rou last night.

Zhu Yuyan replied with a hint of annoyance:

"It is a bit strange, but so what? Shui Rou didn't show up, and I guessed Su Qingfeng was in her room last night. But shouldn't we have expected this yesterday?"

"I just didn't expect Shui Rou to beat us to it. That Su Qingfeng guy is such a womanizer!"

Zhu Yuyan thought that she had known Su Qingfeng for quite some time, but he had never clearly expressed his feelings to her.

Although she knew Su Qingfeng had feelings for her, he never expressed them. Now that even the future Night Emperor's wife had fallen for him, Zhu Yuyan grew increasingly angry.

Fan Qinghui was also feeling helpless. Su Qingfeng had returned last night, but instead of looking for her or Zhu Yuyan, he went to see the Night Emperor's wife, whom he had only recently met, which left Fan Qinghui equally frustrated.

"Yes, Su Qingfeng is indeed a bastard."

Bang! ... Boom!

cough!cough!cough!

Sikong Zhaixing emerged from a pile of rubble and dust, cursing with lingering fear:

"Damn it, Lu Miaozi is too cunning! He actually hid a hidden trap within the mechanism. If I hadn't dodged quickly, I would have been done for today!"

Lu Xiaofeng was also terrified. Those poisoned arrows were deadly; if he had been hit, he would have died instantly.

"Sikong, I told you to be careful. If you trigger any more traps, I'm not going to risk my life with you."

"Okay, okay, I'll be careful."

Outside the Yue Ma Bridge, a group of experts from the Demonic Sect gathered.

They stared helplessly at the heavily guarded entrance to Yang Gong's Treasury. They had already planned to leave, but were reluctant to give up and turned back to investigate.

Anlong looked at the entrance to the treasure vault and shook his head.

They had all witnessed the battle here yesterday, in which two terrestrial immortals of the Celestial Realm perished, one of whom was the founding patriarch of the Jingnian Zen Temple, the Celestial Monk.

Jingnian Temple has been destroyed by Wu Xiangjun. The fact that Wu Xiangjun now has two Celestial Realm experts by his side has already spread throughout the martial world. From now on, anyone who wants to deal with Wu Xiangjun will have to think twice before taking action against the two Celestial Realm masters beside him.

"Let's go. The treasures in Yang Gong's Treasury and the Evil Emperor's Relic are destined to belong to Wu Xiangjun this time. If you don't want to lose your life, it's best to leave as soon as possible."

Zuo Youxian still felt lingering fear when he recalled the scene of the four Celestial Realm cultivators clashing here yesterday.

"We can't handle the women around Lord Wu Xiang. Even if those two Celestial Realm women don't come, Zhu Yuyan and Fan Qinghui alone are no match for us. Zhu Yuyan and Fan Qinghui are both Grandmasters now, and even if all of us were together, we probably wouldn't be able to defeat them. I won't participate in this Yang Gong Treasure Vault event."

Although You Niaojuan was determined to obtain the Evil Emperor's Relic, he was unwilling to die in vain. The women of Wu Xiangjun were far too powerful—two were at the Celestial Realm, and yesterday there were six Grandmasters at the Jingnian Zen Temple, with nearly ten more Grandmasters of similar level. Thinking of this, You Niaojuan felt a chill run down his spine.

"So be it, the Evil Emperor's Relic is destined to be out of our reach. If you don't want to die, you'd better hurry up and leave."

"Withdraw. We will not fight for the Evil Emperor's Relic this time."

Demon General Zhao Deyan looked around at the group of demonic sect experts, frowned and pondered for a moment, and finally spoke helplessly.

These people were probably no match for even the Grandmaster-level women under Wu Xiangjun's command, let alone Grandmasters like Zhu Yuyan and Fan Qinghui. As for the two women who had reached the Celestial Realm and were almost like terrestrial immortals, they filled them with despair.

The other demonic sect experts also realized that the situation was hopeless. If they did not want to perish here, their only option was to give up the struggle for the Evil Emperor's Relic.

Zhao Deyan and the others glanced one last time in the direction of Yang Gong's treasure vault, then turned and left this place of trouble.

Inside the Dugu residence, Su Qingfeng found himself in a rather awkward situation. Ever since the women had guessed about the matter of the Night Emperor's wife, they had either cast disdainful glances at him or given him a wistful look, leaving Su Qingfeng helpless.

Looking at the group of women before him, Su Qingfeng resolved to sow discord among them. If they continued to gather here, his future would likely be unbearable.

"Lianxing, you and Yan Jingnian take Su Yan there together. At this time, Sikong Zhaixing should be about to activate the mechanism of Yang Gong's treasure vault."

Bai Ruobing and Donghuang Tai looked at each other in shock—how exactly did Su Qingfeng manage to kill two terrestrial immortals at the Celestial Realm?

Could it be that Su Qingfeng has invited another expert at the Celestial Realm to help him?

Even if he brought in a Celestial Realm expert, it wouldn't be easy for him to kill two experts of the same realm. Besides, Celestial Realm terrestrial immortals are no ordinary beings; how could Su Qingfeng possibly have the ability to find two at the same time?

Bai Ruobing urgently pressed the shadow assassin Youlan for answers: "Are those two Celestial Realm immortals truly dead? Who helped Su Qingfeng?"

Youlan replied, "Madam, it was Lady Shi Guanyin and a woman named Lady Ye Di who joined forces to help you kill those two experts at the Celestial Realm."

Bai Ruobing frowned slightly upon hearing this: "I know Shi Guanyin; she is Su Qingfeng's wife. But who is the Night Emperor's wife? Could it be that she has also reached the Celestial Realm?"

At this moment, Bai Ruobing understood that Su Qingfeng had not only summoned her for rescue but also notified Shi Guanyin. She already knew that Shi Guanyin's cultivation had reached the Celestial Realm, but she hadn't expected that the other party would arrive even earlier than her. As for that Lady Ye, since she was able to kill a Celestial Realm expert alongside Shi Guanyin, her cultivation was probably extraordinary as well.

Youlan confirmed, "Madam, the Night Emperor's wife is indeed at the Celestial Realm."

Bai Ruobing pressed, "What is her relationship with your master?" She secretly speculated that the Night Emperor's wife must be involved with Su Qingfeng, otherwise why would she lend a helping hand?

When asked this question, Youlan was momentarily speechless and could only lower her head and reply, "This subordinate does not know."

Bai Ruobing scrutinized her: "You really don't know?"

Beneath the veil, Youlan bit her lip, her heart filled with conflict. She was unwilling to speak ill of her master, yet she also feared offending Bai Ruobing, the lady of the house. After a moment's thought, she still chose to defend Su Qingfeng: "Madam, I am not currently in Luoyang. All that I know is conveyed through secret messages from the Shadows. I truly do not know the actual situation in Luoyang."

Bai Ruobing stopped pressing the matter. She knew that Su Qingfeng's men were all loyal, and forcing them would be useless.

Donghuang Taiyi, who was standing to the side, kept her eyes fixed on Youlan, her heart filled with doubt and surprise: How could this assassin, who was only at the Grandmaster level, have managed to appear silently without her noticing? Could it be that he had mastered some kind of secret technique to conceal his aura? Thinking of this, a thoughtful look flashed across her eyes.

With a hoarse voice, Donghuang Taiyi said to Bai Ruobing, "Bai Ruobing, now that Su Qingfeng is alright, shouldn't we return to the Eastern Continent and continue exploring that secret place? Bei Mingzi is there alone, and I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to find out everything."

"No rush," Bai Ruobing shook her head, "I need to find out first who attacked my husband."

She felt deeply resentful for not being able to help Su Qingfeng in time. If she left without doing anything, she would have no face to face him in the future.

Bai Ruobing turned to the shadow assassin You Ruo and asked, "You Ruo, do you know who attacked your master this time?"

At this moment, Donghuang Taiyi noticed that Youlan had vanished in an instant. He hurriedly searched his surroundings but could not sense her presence at all. This aroused Donghuang Taiyi's great interest in the stealth techniques of the shadow assassins.

Seeing Donghuang Taiyi staring blankly at the spot where You Ruo had disappeared, Bai Ruobing gently shook her head. She knew that Donghuang Taiyi was once again captivated by the invisibility technique.

"Donghuang Taiyi, let's go to Chang'an. We'll destroy the nuns of Cihang Jingzhai, and then return to the Eastern Continent."

"Very well, I can't persuade you otherwise," Donghuang Taiyi sighed. "If I don't do something for Su Qingfeng, you probably won't be willing to leave the Southern Continent. Let's finish this quickly. If we join forces, we can kill Di Ni in an instant. Bei Mingzi is still waiting in the secret place; we can't let anything happen to him."

"Don't worry, Bei Mingzi has profound cultivation; those giant beasts can't harm him."

Luoyang, the Dugu Mansion.

After returning from Yang Gong's treasure vault, Su Qingfeng transferred 100,000 troops from the system space and placed them under the command of Shen Luoyan and Li Xiuning. The war against the Sui Dynasty had already fully commenced, and he did not want to be short-handed in this area.

Inside the main hall of the Dugu residence, Su Qingfeng summoned the women before him, preparing to assign them tasks. He was naturally lazy, and for the affairs of the Sui Dynasty, he still needed the assistance of the women around him.

Murong Qiudi, Lianxing, Yan Jing'an, Zhu Yuyan, Fan Qinghui, Lady Yedi, and others looked at Su Qingfeng with suspicion, wondering why he had summoned everyone so soon after his return without even resting.

Su Qingfeng said to Murong Qiudi and Yan Jing'an:

"Qiu Di, you and Yan Jing'an will take men to Yangzhou. I have already allocated 30,000 Xuanwu troops and 20,000 Youming cavalry, which can be led by Li Xiuning, to start an uprising in the south of the Great Sui."

Su Qingfeng thought that Yangzhou still had 70,000 elite troops, and with the addition of Li Xiuning's Netherworld cavalry, the total strength was close to 100,000. With another 50,000 reinforcements, given Li Xiuning's abilities, pacifying the south should not be difficult.

Murong Qiudi thought to herself that Su Qingfeng's arrangements probably meant he was about to return to the Song Dynasty. Meanwhile, the Sui Dynasty should also mobilize its troops—they couldn't just keep such a large army idle.

Although she was reluctant to let Su Qingfeng leave, she believed that as long as they conquered the Sui Dynasty, they could stay together for a long time.

"My lord, is this a full-scale war?"

Su Qingfeng nodded:

"Yes, now I have nothing to worry about. After taking over the Sui and Song dynasties, I will prepare to establish a kingdom and then unify the Southern Continent."

Zhu Yuyan and the others were delighted to hear that Su Qingfeng was going to contend for supremacy. With his current power, taking over the Sui Dynasty would not be difficult.
