I became an immortal in the mountains

Chapter 80: Zhou's Defeat
Everything changed overnight.

Originally, the Zhou Kingdom was coming with great force and took over Anping Road in a few days.

The imperial court sent 300,000 troops to help, but before they entered Anping Road, a master took action.

Sword Saint Qin Wuya secretly followed the army, but he was still no match for four punches with his bare hands. It turned out that there was more than one master coming from the Zhou Kingdom.

The generals in the army were assassinated one after another in the midst of thousands of troops, the defense line was retreated again and again, and Daqian was in danger.

But suddenly, murderous intent arose from the occupied Governor's Mansion in Anping Road. The commander of the Zhou army was killed on the spot. Everyone in the mansion attacked, but no one could withstand his attack. Wherever he passed, Zhou monks fell one after another. No matter what kind of military formation or what methods were used, they could not stop the spread of murderous intent.

When the Zhou Dynasty's national teacher and master Sikong Yan was killed in one move, the morale of the Zhou army finally collapsed.

Almost no one dared to attack again, and they all fled.

The troops and wise men in the martial arts world that had gathered around took action one after another. Countless Zhou monks fell in a pool of blood. Among the tens of thousands of masters, only less than a hundred people escaped to the foot of Taiwu Mountain.

Some people said that the person who did it was a woman in white, with her face covered with a veil and a graceful figure. Even when she was killing people, she looked as light as a fairy.

Some people speculated that this person might be the Lingxu Sect's head master, Gong Daoxian, because she was the only woman among all the masters in the world, and it was said that she was indeed not in the sect during that period.

However, later on, disciples of Lingxu Sect denied it, saying that Lingxu Sect could not participate in national disputes, and that this was a rule passed down from ancient times.

However, Li Miaoxuan, who actually took action, had already left quietly. These fame and fortune were of no use to her. Everything she did was only based on her own Tao heart, and nothing else.

The only pity is that a master of the Zhou Kingdom seemed to have realized something was wrong in advance and retreated back to the Taiwu Mountains.

Yue Hong stood on the city wall and shook his head slightly. Those above the Grandmaster level were not allowed to participate in national disputes. Perhaps this was the reason!
The difference between the Daohuo realm and ordinary cultivators is just like the difference between immortals and mortals. One person can decide the outcome of the battle, and even thousands of troops will be useless.

The army formation of Zhenwu monks can rival that of a Grandmaster, but no matter how many people there are, they cannot do anything above the Grandmaster!
Li Haotian, who was far away in the palace, was overjoyed when he heard the news, and the tense atmosphere in the court was immediately eased.

But no one knows who came to help.

"The female master, could it be Miao Xuan?" Prince Qing guessed.

Emperor Li Haotian of Daqian shook his head and said, "Sword Saint Qin Wuya was entangled and couldn't get away. Although Xuan'er has achieved the status of a master, her cultivation is still shallow. Not to mention that she is still cultivating in Lingxu Sect, even if she takes action, she does not have such strength.

The person who attacked Anping might not just be a master, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to defeat the Zhou army so easily. You have to know that it took decades for Zhou Dynasty's national master Sikong Yan to achieve the master level."

"We may know who made the move later. The defeat of the Zhou Kingdom has solved the urgent problem. The only ones we need to deal with now are the two people who are taking the trial."

Li Shian also breathed a sigh of relief. That night, he and Ji Dai joined forces but were still no match for Yue Hong. Although he naturally had other means in the royal capital, it must be said that Yue Hong's cultivation and skills had improved since entering Lingxu Gate.

Now that Zhou Guo has retreated, he and others can concentrate on dealing with the people taking the trial.

"Your Majesty, the news from Beiquan Mountain has arrived."

Xu Lianying bowed and went inside.

Li Haotian took it and looked at it. After a while, his eyes widened.

"Otomo, is this news true or false? They can actually bring the bones back to life and crawl out of the ground to besiege Beiquan Mountain? Isn't this just a lie to confuse the people and shocking?"

Xu Lianying bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I have confirmed it again and again before I dare to report it. Several people in the Tiance Palace witnessed it with their own eyes. I asked them to wait outside the palace. Your Majesty can ask in person."

"Emperor, let me see." Li Shian said.

Li Haotian quickly handed it over.

Li Shian was stunned after reading it, and was silent for a long time. Whether it was Zuo Qiu or Gong Xin, they were all Daohuo realm cultivators, and they were people of the same realm as him, but these methods were unheard of by him. When he saw the last part, it said that two giant swords fell in Beiquan Mountain, and the life and death of the people in the trial were unknown, and he was completely stunned again.

Li Haotian asked: "Ancestor, you have been to Beiquan Mountain many times. I remember you said you had seen the secret sword. Is it possible to have such a miraculous thing?"

Li Shian smiled bitterly: "I don't know either."

……

Beiquan Mountain.

All the bones at the foot of the mountain were burned out, the fire was extinguished, and there was no grass left within ten feet around it, everything turned to ashes.

After a night's rest, the spiritual energy in the mountain has slowly recovered, and the frightened animals are tentatively walking out of the caves.

Gu Yuanqing has been immersing his mind in observing the mountains and controlling objects, and every time he experiences it, he has a different feeling.

Aunt Feng's mental state was slightly better than yesterday. When Gu Yuanqing came back to his senses from his meditation, he happened to see her carrying a bucket of water up from halfway up the mountain with difficulty.

These jobs were previously done by the old man, but now Aunt Feng is the only servant in the mountains.

She was already old and a woman who had never practiced cultivation. She carried water up the mountain, but her legs began to tremble after she had walked only a few dozen meters.

Gu Yuanqing sighed softly, and as soon as he thought about it, the bucket rose up and flew straight up the mountain.

Aunt Feng first reached out to grab the bucket in panic, but immediately thought that this was the trick of the young master in the mountains. When she returned to the side courtyard, she saw that several water tanks in the courtyard were filled with clean water.

Gu Yuanqing's figure appeared in the yard.

Aunt Feng knelt down quickly and saluted.

Gu Yuanqing used his mind to mobilize the power of Beiquan Mountain to help her up and asked, "Auntie Feng, do you have any relatives outside the mountain? Are you willing to go down the mountain?"

The voice rang in Aunt Feng's mind, and she suddenly became panicked and gestured with her hands.

Gu Yuanqing patiently explained: "You have seen what happened in the past few days. It is too dangerous for an ordinary person like you to be in this mountain. Don't worry, the next time someone goes up the mountain, I will entrust you to him and he will take care of you."

Aunt Feng gestured anxiously: I have no relatives anymore, and I don’t want to leave, so please don’t chase me away, young master!
Gu Yuanqing was surprised and asked, "Why don't you want to go down the mountain?"

Aunt Feng smiled and gestured: I was born deaf and dumb, and never knew what sound was. Here, I finally know what sound is.

Gu Yuanqing was stunned. He didn't expect that it was because of this that his voice could be heard in Feng Tao's heart. It was not a simple sound transmission technique, but the technique of mind communication he learned from observing the mountains and controlling objects and listening to the sounds of all things. He also used this to communicate with the animals in the mountains.

Aunt Feng insisted on kneeling down and begged Gu Yuanqing not to drive her away.

Seeing this, Gu Yuanqing had no choice but to agree.

He came out of the side courtyard and walked casually in the mountain, communicating with the animals in the mountain with his mind. Suddenly, he felt something in his heart and looked in the direction of the road leading to Beiquan Mountain.

There, a woman in white was walking gracefully above the treetops. When Gu Yuanqing turned to look at her, she also looked up at Beiquan Mountain with her mind sensed. Their eyes seemed to meet each other across dozens of miles.

"Is it her?"

Gu Yuanqing felt that the aura was somewhat familiar, but because he had not entered Beiquan Mountain, he was not sure.
