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

Royal-level cultivation manuals are considered quite powerful Daoist arts, but this also depends on the cultivation world—the difference between powerful and ordinary cultivation worlds can be huge. "Nonsense, how else could I have obtained them if they weren't in the mortal realm? But these aren't martial arts manuals anymore; they should be called Daoist arts, the kind used for cultivating immortality." Zhu Yuyan hurriedly pressed on after hearing Su Qingfeng's words.

"You mean, if we practice this royal-level sword technique, we can achieve immortality?"

Shi Feixuan and the others also looked at Su Qingfeng nervously, waiting for his answer. Yaoyue also sat up straight—this guy Su Qingfeng hadn't told her that the royal-level sword technique was actually a Taoist art.

Even Zi Nu looked at Su Qingfeng, wanting to know if this sword technique could truly grant immortality. Su Qingfeng looked at Zhu Yuyan and said with amusement:

"Zhu Yuyan, when did I ever say you should practice this royal-level sword technique? This is a family heirloom of the Su family. You're not a member of the Su family, so why are you learning it?"

"You damn bastard!"

Zhu Yuyan was so angry that she wanted to hit him; any goodwill she had towards Su Qingfeng earlier had completely vanished.

Seeing this, Wanwan quickly pulled her master back. She knew that Su Qingfeng was deliberately trying to anger Zhu Yuyan, and she could also see that this lecherous man and her master were simply incompatible.

Wanwan understood that Su Qingfeng had always held a prejudice against Zhu Yuyan. Although Zhu Yuyan's past actions were indeed inappropriate, Wanwan could not possibly criticize her own master.

Seeing Su Qingfeng confront Zhu Yuyan, Yaoyue felt a sense of satisfaction. Now, she and Zhu Yuyan were in the same boat; having experienced similar fates, she felt less depressed.

She felt that Su Qingfeng was just asking for a beating. If she hadn't been too lazy to bother with him, this scumbag who couldn't even do martial arts would probably be long gone by now.

"Su Qingfeng, tell me, can this royal-level sword technique really grant immortality?"

"No. This is just a royal-level sword technique, not a royal-level martial art. If it were a royal-level martial art, one could definitely live for thousands of years."

Zhu Yuyan and Yaoyue were both somewhat disappointed. They had thought they had encountered a sword technique that could grant immortality, and if that were true, they would be willing to risk their reputation to cultivate it.

After all, they are not young anymore, and no one knows how much longer they can live; they will eventually become old women.

Suddenly, Yaoyue thought: Since Su Qingfeng possesses a Royal-level sword technique, could he also have a Royal-level martial art? She hurriedly moved closer to Su Qingfeng and asked:

"Do you have any royal-level weapons?"

Seeing that Yaoyue was excitedly pressing him for answers, Su Qingfeng started spouting nonsense again:

"I don't know. I'm still looking for the relics left by my ancestors. Maybe there's a royal-level weapon among them."

Su Qingfeng could only make up some stories to fool them for now. He absolutely could not reveal anything about the system. It was his last trump card. Even if it cost him his life, he had to keep this secret.

Yaoyue and the others were skeptical, feeling that Su Qingfeng was lying, yet they couldn't refute it—after all, the Royal-level sword technique was indeed real. At this moment, Su Ming came to the carriage to report:

"Your Majesty, Yuwen Tuo, the garrison commander of Yangzhou, is here with his officials to greet you outside."

"Why bother welcoming them? Tell them all to go back. Su Ming, tell Yuwen Tuo to select a few maids from Yangzhou and send them to the palace. I'll take care of his business."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Wanwan asked curiously, "Su Qingfeng, what kind of help does Yuwen Tuo need from you?"

Su Qingfeng smiled as she recalled the gifts Yuwentuo had sent on the way. The money wasn't a huge sum, but who wouldn't want it for free? A casual remark could earn her 100,000 taels of gold and jewelry—of course she'd do the business.

He learned from the secret messenger's letter that Yuwen Tuo was just a simple-minded military general, and that the Yuwen family was probably out of options, which was why they had sent him to govern Yangzhou. Su Qingfeng then said to Wanwan:

"It's nothing. He's a military general who got tired of staying in Yangzhou and wanted to lead troops into battle, so he asked me to ask Yuwen Huaji to transfer him away."

Wanwan became excited upon hearing this: "Su Qingfeng, once Yangzhou is no longer defended, you should hand it over to our Yin Kui Sect! From now on, this place will be our territory."

Zhu Yuyan's eyes lit up upon hearing this. If Yangzhou could truly be handed over to the Yin Kui Sect, the sect's growth would be imminent, and perhaps they could even contend for the throne in the future.

Shi Feixuan became anxious: "No! Your Yin Kui Sect are evil demonic sects. If Yangzhou falls into your hands, the people will surely be destroyed, their families torn apart, and their lives ruined!"

Wanwan glared at her angrily: "Master nun, it's none of your business to interrupt when I'm talking to Su Qingfeng! Our Yin Kui Sect will discipline its members from now on and will no longer do anything immoral—I promise."

Su Qingfeng looked at Wanwan helplessly. This girl was thinking too simply. How could governing a city be so easy? A sect that only knew how to fight and kill, with no talent and no troops, how could it manage Yangzhou well?

Zhu Yuyan looked at Su Qingfeng with anticipation in her eyes.

Su Qingfeng, leave Yangzhou to our Yin Kui Sect. I will clean up the parasites in the sect immediately.

Su Qingfeng shook her head and refused:

No. First, Yangzhou is not my city, and I have no right to hand it over to anyone. Second, even if I were to hand it over to the Yin Kui Sect, do you have the talent to manage it? Do you have an army capable of defending Yangzhou? Right now, the Jianghuai Army is eyeing the city from outside. Can you defeat Du Fuwei?

Zhu Yuyan and Wanwan were speechless for a moment. They truly hadn't considered how to govern a city if they actually acquired it. The entire Yin Kui Sect only had a few hundred people; where would they get an army?

Shi Feixuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She had just been worried that Su Qingfeng would agree to Wanwan's request again—if Yangzhou were truly handed over to the Yin Kui Sect, it would be nothing short of a disaster for the people.

Wanwan and Zhu Yuyan were also discouraged, realizing their earlier thoughts had been too naive. Even if they obtained Yangzhou, they probably wouldn't be able to hold it for even a day. Wanwan looked out the window in frustration, then suddenly noticed the elite guards surrounding her. Her eyes lit up, and she turned to Su Qingfeng and shouted:

"Su Qingfeng, give me your elite troops! I need them to defend Yangzhou!"

Su Qingfeng looked at Wanwan, utterly speechless. What a pipe dream! He had absolutely no desire to deal with this woman who was practically going crazy.

Although the Xiaoguo Army was temporarily under his command, it was being operated secretly behind Yuwen Huaji's back. If it were handed over to the Yin Kui Sect, wouldn't that expose them? Moreover, these Jianghu people had no idea how to command an army; they would probably be wiped out in no time.

Seeing that Su Qingfeng ignored her, Wanwan pounced on him and pinned him down, threatening, "Will you give it to me or not? If you don't, I'll bite you!"

Su Qingfeng laughed when she was sat on him:

"The Xiaoguo Army is not mine; I borrowed it from Yuwen Huaji. I'm new to the Sui Dynasty, how could I possibly have an army? You know that."

"I don't believe it! These soldiers are clearly yours!"

"Think what you want."

Inside the palace, Su Qingfeng looked at the teeth marks on his arm, a helpless expression on his face. Wanwan was like a little puppy; this time, he absolutely refused, so she left a few teeth marks and followed her master.

Shi Feixuan also left; she needed to return to Cihang Jingzhai to consume the Vermilion Fruit and prepare for her breakthrough. Yaoyue and Lianxing traveled around the Sui Dynasty, leaving only the flower servants of Yihua Palace with Su Qingfeng.

Su Qingfeng has mastered the Mingyu Gong of the Yihua Palace and, with the help of the system, has successfully cultivated the Divine Sword Thunder Control Technique.

After Su Qingfeng and Changsun Wuhou shared the Vermilion Fruit, Changsun Wuhou's cultivation had reached the sixth level of the Innate Realm, while Su Qingfeng himself had reached the peak of the Innate Realm. This time, he no longer concealed his martial arts skills and planned to find some people at the Innate Realm to spar with in the future to test his abilities—although he already had an army and subordinates, he still wanted to experience it for himself.

Currently, he has only mastered the "Divine Sword Thunder Control True Technique," a powerful killing move, and plans to learn other martial arts after returning to Suzhou City. Su Qingfeng teleported back to his study and saw Yan Fei writing a letter. He gently embraced her from behind and asked with a smile, "Madam, what has Donghuang Taiyi instructed us to do this time?"

Yan Fei turned to look at him, smiling helplessly, "Husband, don't always appear and disappear so mysteriously. If I weren't familiar with your aura, I probably would have kicked you out long ago." She couldn't help but regret her actions the moment she saw Su Qingfeng use teleportation—a few days ago, Su Qingfeng had only recently arrived at the palace when he challenged her to a duel, agreeing that the loser must grant the winner a condition. Yan Fei, thinking Su Qingfeng was merely at the peak of the Innate Realm and overconfident, agreed. Who knew Su Qingfeng would demand she capture him within an hour, or else she would lose. Yan Fei hadn't expected him to even know teleportation, and after a full hour, she hadn't even touched the hem of his clothes, and had to admit defeat. That night, Su Qingfeng carried her away, making her his. From then on, whenever Yan Fei saw Su Qingfeng use teleportation, she always wanted to teach him a lesson.

Su Qingfeng looked at Yan Fei, who had become even more charming in his arms, and couldn't help but kiss her, saying with a smile, "I'm just eager to see you, Madam."

Yan Fei leaned against him, giving him a light glare. These days, Su Qingfeng had hardly been involved in anything, spending his time either cultivating or wandering around Yangzhou. She and Changsun Wuhou had tried to persuade him several times, but seeing his indifference, they stopped paying attention. Now, the affairs of the palace and Yangzhou were mostly managed by the two of them. "Can't you be serious for once?" Yan Fei sighed. "The Eastern Emperor Sect Leader sent a letter saying that Ying Zheng has secretly left Qin, even sending out the Netherworld Iron Cavalry. I wonder what his plans are."

Su Qingfeng's mind raced: it seemed Ying Zheng was going to see Han Fei. After this, Ying Zheng would truly seize power, and the Eastern Continent would likely descend into chaos. He recalled the Azure Dragon Seven Constellations Bronze Box hidden in the cold palace of Han—it would probably be discovered soon. Although he didn't know what was inside, Su Qingfeng didn't want it to be taken from him; he also wanted to use the bronze box to exchange for some experts and resources with Donghuang Taiyi.

Thinking of this, Su Qingfeng lowered her head and kissed Yan Fei again, then began to explain her plans.

Madam, please make a trip to the Han Kingdom. There lies a bronze box containing the Azure Dragon and Seven Constellations; I know its whereabouts. Once you retrieve it, hand it over to your Eastern Emperor Sect Master.

Please exchange them with him for the Black and White Lesser Fate Masters, as well as the Taoist principle of "Harmony with the World." I will also inform Donghuang Taiyi of the location of the Illusionary Sound Box this time, as a betrothal gift from me.

Yan Fei asked, slightly puzzled:

"My lord, the Eastern Emperor Sect Leader may agree to the other conditions, but the Daoist principle of 'harmonizing with the world' is something our Yin-Yang School has not mastered."

Su Qingfeng, however, did not believe that the Yin-Yang School's leader would not possess Taoist martial arts. Although he did not understand why Donghuang Taiyi did not allow his disciples to practice Taoist skills, he believed that Donghuang Taiyi would agree to exchange the copper box for "Harmony with the World."

Su Qingfeng sat in the chair, put his arm around Yan Fei's waist, and laughed:

"Madam, just ask Donghuang Taiyi, and he will definitely give it to you. Donghuang Taiyi has collected many Taoist martial arts techniques. Perhaps he promised Beimingzi of the Taoist school something back then, which is why the Yin-Yang School has never learned those skills."
