The light of the sword is like the moon reflecting on Kyushu

Beneath the frozen lake, a giant python charged into the battle between piranhas and water snakes, wreaking havoc!
The mud and sand at the bottom of the lake were stirred up, making the water murky and turning the area within a radius of several tens of feet into a pitch-black mass!
In an instant, the giant python swallowed many of the water snakes and piranhas!

Before such a colossal creature, piranhas and water snakes are nothing but ants!
Sensing the approaching danger, the piranhas and water snakes scattered in all directions, driven by instinct! Before absolute power, all resistance is futile!
The serpent was immediately enraged!
It had finally encountered such a feast, how could it let it slip away?

追！
We won't stop until we're stuffed!

It immediately chased after the school of fish! It prioritized chasing whichever school of fish had a relatively large number of fish and a relatively dense line!
With a thud, the underwater world instantly turned upside down!
On the ice, the martial arts heroes followed the tire tracks on the road toward Haixin Mountain!

They were unaware of the terrifying battle taking place beneath their feet!

The world on the ice and the world beneath the ice may seem like two different worlds, but in reality, they are only separated by a layer of floating ice!
The anaconda swam freely underwater, swallowing many water snakes and piranhas whole, reaping a rich harvest! Suddenly, it noticed something shadowy above its head, and upon closer inspection, it realized that countless humans were walking overhead!

It's been so many years since I've seen such a large quantity of delicious food!

Its vertical pupils suddenly shone brightly with green light, and it rapidly swallowed and spat out its tongue. Its thick, long body began to meander and roam beneath the deep, shadowy ice, waiting for an opportunity to break through the ice and strike!
Human flesh and blood are far more delicious than their aquatic counterparts!
The martial arts heroes on the ice were all focused on what was ahead; no one noticed that a giant python was lurking in the icy lake beneath their feet, waiting to devour them!
Feng Jiuxiao got back into the car.

Bigwof said, "I vaguely heard that the kid was from the Li family in northern Shaanxi?"

"That's right! They're from the Li family!"

"Now that the Li family has appeared, the Chang family of Jinzhong is most likely not far behind!"

"Yeah, they'll definitely want to join in the fun here. I bet they've already arrived."

"The Chang family hasn't made a move; it seems they haven't found an opportunity to strike!"

Feng Jiuxiao scoffed: "What opportunity? The Chang family, like the Li family, doesn't dare to make a move against me again!"

Bigwolf said, "Then just now..."

"That boy grew up outside the family and only recently returned to the Li family."

"I see, huh? Ignorance is bliss. Because ignorance is no excuse, you let him go?"

"of course."

"I understand letting people go, but why not leave their belongings behind?"

"You mean the Xuanyuan Bow?"

"Yes! I've heard that the Xuanyuan Bow is one of the ten most famous bows! You already have quite a few famous bows in your collection, how could you let this one slip by?"

"I'd love to, but unfortunately the Xuanyuan Bow he has is just a replica!"

"A counterfeit? Are you sure?"

"Sure!"

If Chang Zijing hadn't secretly reminded him earlier, he would have also thought that the Xuanyuan Bow in Li Hesong's hand was genuine! After all, he had never seen a real Xuanyuan Bow, nor did he know what its characteristics were! Some divine bows carry the memories of their previous owners; as long as you touch them, you can sense certain auras of the bow's previous owner!
Just like the Thunder Bow, every time you hold it, you can feel the heroic feeling of "with the Thunder Bow in hand, I have the world at my command"!

The Zhentian Bow is a family heirloom of Xue Rengui, a famous general of the Tang Dynasty. It has been meticulously crafted by several generations of artisans. The bow body is made of black iron as its core, supplemented by Zhentian wood, a special product of the Western Regions. The bowstring is made from the sinew of the mermaids in the East China Sea, which is as flexible as silk and has amazing power!

On the day this bow was made, Xue Rengui was testing his arrows in the training ground. He shot an arrow through the hole of a copper coin three hundred paces away. The arrow's tail was still trembling, and the sound was like a dragon's roar, resounding through the sky. Thus, it was named "Zhentian Bow" (Heaven-Shaking Bow).
Chang Zijing is a daughter of the Chang family in Jinzhong. She knows a great deal about anecdotes and interesting stories related to archery, far more than Feng Jiuxiao!
The story of the Li family in northern Shaanxi imitating the Xuanyuan Bow is one of the many secrets!

Upon hearing that it was a counterfeit, Feng Jiuxiao immediately lost interest!
No matter how powerful it is, it's all tasteless once you get your hands on it!

Feng Jiuxiao adheres to two main principles when collecting bows and crossbows: first, they must be "listed on the official list," and second, they must be "genuine and of high quality."
This is a principle: better to have none than to have something of poor quality!
At this moment, Chili lifted the curtain and looked out at the world. She felt the vastness of the world and her heart was filled with joy. She couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow! It's so spacious! I feel like my heart has opened up a lot!"

At the edge of the field of vision, a mountain silhouette could be vaguely seen!
The mountain ranges are undulating, mostly covered by snow, with only a small portion exposing the rocks.

Chili said softly, "Miss, that must be Haixin Mountain, right?"

Yuan Zishan said, "Yes." Chili said, "Why is it called a mountain? Why not call it Haixin Island? It doesn't look very big, it looks like a mound!"

Yuan Zishan said, "Why isn't it called an island anymore? Haixin Mountain is also called Lake Heart Island, and it has another name, Dragon Colt Island!"

Chili immediately perked up: "Why is it called Dragon Horse Island? Is it related to dragons and horses?"

Yuan Zishan laughed and said, "You have quite the imagination. Historical records show that the Tuyuhun people once placed fine mares introduced from Persia on the island and mated them with 'sea dragons' to give birth to 'Qinghai Cong', which can travel a thousand miles a day. It is also known as the world-famous 'dragon horse'."

Chili asked, "Which history book?"

Yuan Zishan said, "The Book of Wei and the History of the Northern Dynasties. What, you want to see these two books?"

Chili chuckled, "I only know a few words. I'm just curious how Miss is so smart, having read all sorts of books."

"Don't flatter me."

Suddenly, Feng Jiuxiao said, "If the historical records are true, then there should also be a city on the island." Everyone's hearts skipped a beat!
Yuan Zishan said, "That's right. Yinglong City."

Chili said, "Yinglong City?"

Yuan Zishan said, "Emperor Yang of Sui once sent people here specifically to seek out the 'Dragon Horse' breed and established 'Horse Herding Officials' to manage it. The famous Tang general Geshu Han went a step further and built a city on the island, named Yinglong City!"

As they got closer to the island, its outline became clearer. Chili frowned and said, "This island doesn't look very big!"

The Venerable White Lotus spoke loudly from behind: "Dragon Colt Island is about five li long from east to west and about two li wide from north to south, shaped like a snail shell. The mountain top is only about a few dozen zhang above the lake surface, which is indeed not large. The entire mountain is basically made of granite and gneiss, and is slightly milky white. If you look at it from a distance on a clear day, Haixin Mountain looks like snow waves floating, which is a magnificent sight. As the ancients said: 'A green wave floats on white snow, no one knows that it is Haixin Mountain.'"

Chili asked, "Miss, how big is Tianpeng?"

Yuan Zishan said, "I don't know either, but I've heard that the Heavenly Roc is several zhang tall, with a wingspan of over ten zhang, and is enormous."

Chili looked around: "It's several meters tall, that's quite a lot, how come I can't see it?"

Logically speaking, such a large bird should be a towering figure wherever it stands, so it's impossible that there wouldn't be any trace of it at all!

The group drew closer and closer to the island: two hundred zhang, one hundred and eighty zhang, one hundred and sixty zhang...

Suddenly—

A huge rock on the island suddenly moved!
A surge of overwhelming killing intent instantly rushed over, the blood sword at Pang Shiwu's waist hummed, and the horse he was riding reared up and let out a long neigh, clearly frightened!
Immediately afterwards, all the horses behind were so frightened that they reared up. Before they could escape, the whip handlers mounted their horses and forcibly controlled the frightened horses!
Pang Shiwu (with Yuan Zishan and Chili in the carriage), Zeng Yong (with Chang Zijin and Erni in the carriage), Big Wolf (with Feng Jiuxiao in the carriage), Han Yuan (with Venerable Bailian and two disciples of Da Guangming Temple in the carriage), Wang Sheng (with Xiong Mengyan in the carriage), Duanmu Yan (with Shiyin and Diewu in the carriage), and Lü Qi (with Zhang Deyi, Helian Rongguang, Ouyang Zhong, and Deng Ba in the carriage) almost simultaneously mounted their horses, their arms tightly gripping the horses' necks and their legs tightly clamping the horses' bellies. The horses, breathless, immediately fell silent! Mainly because they were unable to move!
Two of the horses pulling the three carriages of the Huashan Sect went out of control, startled and abruptly turning around, nearly overturning the carriages at high speed! The two out-of-control carriages raced wildly to the left and right, aimlessly! The female disciples on the carriages had already begun to scream in terror!
The two male disciples driving the carriage followed suit, jumping onto their horses to try and control the frightened horses. However, lacking experience, they were flustered and confused, and the horses galloped further and further away! In desperation, Linghu Jing immediately jumped off his horse and gave chase to the carriage full of female disciples! He shouted at the same time, "Bixia, hold on tight, I'm coming! Mei Jianping, give it your all!"

Mei Jianping, who was driving the carriage, immediately tightened his grip with his legs, but the frightened horse showed no sign of slowing down. Hearing their sect leader's voice, the female disciples, including Bixia, inside the carriage calmed down considerably. She immediately said, "Everyone hold on tight! The sect leader is about to save us!"

The other carriage was filled with male disciples, who weren't too afraid and were prepared to jump out at any moment! The carriage sped off for dozens of feet in an instant, showing no signs of slowing down. Everyone had given up hope and was about to abandon the carriage and escape when it suddenly stopped!

A young man in white was gently stroking the horse's head with extreme tenderness. The horse was very docile, allowing itself to be stroked. The Huashan disciples recognized the young man as Feng Jiuxiao; they hadn't expected that he was the one who had brought the frightened horse under control!
Feng Jiuxiao said, "Alright, we're safe now." After saying that, he suddenly disappeared from everyone's sight.

The disciples of Mount Hua were immediately shocked!

Where did they go?

How could it have vanished into thin air?

"He didn't disappear, he was just too fast! Look, he's back in the same spot!"

Everyone turned to look and saw that Feng Jiuxiao had returned to his original position. However, he did not stop and slowly walked from the third carriage to the front of the first carriage.

He stared at the movable rock, his expression grave: "So it was here!" (End of Chapter)
