Ouchi Taming the Cat, starting with the Ten Tiger Forms!

Chapter 723 Young Man
"A disciple of Qianren Sword Pavilion?"

Later that day, when Emperor Yongyuan regained consciousness, Li Xuan and Wang Xi reported the incident to him.

"That's right, Your Majesty."

"The leader of the team is Long Xiaofeng, the famous Sword Master in the Wind, and there are four young disciples as well."

"One of them is named Ye Feng, and according to the introduction, he is the direct disciple of the Sword Master of Qianren Sword Pavilion."

Wang Xi carefully informed Emperor Yongyuan of the information about the five people, including the strength of each of them.

The specific level of cultivation was naturally determined by Li Xuan.

"I didn't expect that the first to respond to the Red Scarf Team's call would be Qianren Sword Pavilion."

"That's in line with their style."

Emperor Yongyuan couldn't help but smile, and explained to Li Xuan that the disciples of Qianren Sword Pavilion needed to be chivalrous and righteous in order to hone their sword energy.

Li Xuan thought to himself that this was indeed a truly prestigious and upright sect.

However, Emperor Yongyuan also pointed out that in the history of Qianren Sword Pavilion, there have been people who have gone astray.

There have been many characters like the Sword Demon and the Evil Sword Immortal in Qianren Sword Pavilion.

Therefore, a disciple from Qianren Sword Pavilion may not necessarily be a good person, but his swordsmanship must be amazing.

The method of cultivating sword energy is unique, it is hard not to be powerful.

"The matter of the evil dragon..."

Li Xuan wanted to know Emperor Yongyuan's attitude.

"You can hide it for a while, but you can't hide it forever."

Emperor Yongyuan said this and shook his head slightly.

"For a sect like Qianren Sword Pavilion, I think we can give them the inside scoop."

"After all, if the evil dragon escapes, the people of the entire Daxing area will suffer."

"As for Qianren Sword Pavilion, they have reasons to help us."

“It does them no good that the dynasty falls apart.”

"And for the disciples of Qianren Sword Pavilion, this is probably a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

Emperor Yongyuan thought about it and said so.

"Ugh--"

Li Xuan sighed, but had to admit that they really needed help now.

They had just experienced a great battle and couldn't fight again in a short period of time.

Emperor Yongyuan still has to stay in bed to rest. If he were to use the Dragon Transformation Formation to fight with all his strength, who knows what the result would be.

Li Xuan could restore his physical condition, but the consumed blood power was powerless.

If Emperor Yongyuan was not around, it would take who knows how long it would take for other royal descendants to master the Dragon Transformation Battle Formation as skillfully as he did.

This window period will be the most powerless period for the entire Daxing Dynasty.

By then, foreign enemies like the desert might not give them enough time to recuperate.

With Emperor Yongyuan's approval, they planned to inform Qianren Sword Pavilion about the evil dragon.

And now, apart from Qianren Sword Pavilion, no other martial arts forces have arrived.

In this way, it is even more evident how valuable it is that Qianren Sword Pavilion came to support.

What happened in Guanglin Prefecture will probably spread to more places as it continues to ferment.

By then, I'm afraid no other underworld forces will dare to come.

With the signal from Emperor Yongyuan, Princess Ankang summoned all the martial arts masters to come and help the next day.

In addition to the three Buddhist masters, Taoist Sanxi, and Nilubaier who had been friends with Li Xuan from the beginning, there were now the wandering monk Zhenyi from the Floating Cloud Temple and the disciples of the Qianren Sword Pavilion.

Since her identity was exposed that night, Nirubel has not tried to hide it anymore, and now she shows her true face openly.

The previous taboo was due to the fear of being accused by other martial arts holy places of participating in the Daxing civil strife.

But since the evil dragon appeared, Nirubel not only no longer had such concerns, she even had the intention of directly promoting the name of the Holy Fire Cult.

Li Xuan couldn't understand her change in attitude for a moment, but since Nirubel dared to do this, she must have her own reasons.

From Li Xuan's point of view, he naturally hoped that the Holy Fire Cult could directly come out to help.

Therefore, he could only secretly hope that Nirubel's change in attitude was a good thing.

After gathering everyone, Princess Ankang, as the captain of the Red Scarf Team, first thanked everyone for coming to help, and then explained the matter of King Zheng and the evil dragon in detail.

Among them were eyewitnesses such as Monk Chengche and Zhenyi, plus other people who also participated in the battle with King Zheng, so they corroborated each other's evidence.

Only Qianren Jiange was learning about these secrets for the first time, and for a moment he was fascinated as if he was listening to a book.

Long Xiaofeng originally thought that it was just a mission to encircle and suppress a female devil, but he did not expect that it would involve such a big incident.

I was excited, but also nervous.

The four Qianren Sword Pavilion disciples he brought with him were no match for such a major event.

But Princess Ankang had mentioned earlier that there were rebels everywhere in Daxing, and even around Guanglin Prefecture there were many bandits who were harassing the people.

This is a great opportunity for Qianren Sword Pavilion to do justice.

It was obvious that such a big thing could not be handled by just the five of them.

"Your Highness Ankang, this is a matter of great importance."

"I think we must write a letter to the Sword Master, explain the situation here, and send more disciples down the mountain to resolve the danger of the evil dragon."

Long Xiaofeng said to Princess Ankang.

"Master Long's words make sense. The Red Scarf Team also hopes to have more heroes to help us."

Ye Feng and the other four young disciples all looked at Long Xiaofeng with excitement.

Qianren Sword Pavilion hasn't had such a big operation for a long time.

They didn't expect that they would encounter such a thing when they went down the mountain this time.

If they grasp the opportunity well, they can not only gain some experience, but may also become famous in the world.

They are all passionate young knights, so naturally they care about these false reputations.

Moreover, they were envious of Princess Ankang, who was much younger than them, but had already become the leader of a faction and could talk with their uncles and masters on an equal footing.

Especially seeing Princess Ankang wearing a shining golden badge on her shoulder.

The conspicuous three stripes, the exquisite cat's paw prints and the snowflakes decorated with flame patterns are really eye-catching.

"Your Highness, where did you get these epaulettes made?"

“I want to get one, too.”

Ye Feng suddenly said to Princess Ankang.

"Nonsense!"

Long Xiaofeng didn't tolerate him and slapped him hard on the back of the head, causing Ye Feng to stagger.

Everyone around was stunned and stared at him.

They all knew that Ye Feng was the direct disciple of the Sword Master of Qianren Sword Pavilion. Wasn't Long Xiaofeng afraid of beating Ye Feng stupid by beating him like this?

When he was young, Long Xiaofeng had a bad temper and spoke bluntly. If it weren't for his high level of cultivation, he would have been killed in the martial arts world long ago.

Even though he has gotten older and his personality has become more stable, that pure underlying tone is still very strong.

"Uncle Master!"

It seemed like Ye Feng was used to being beaten. After being slapped like this, he didn't cry out in pain first, but felt embarrassed.

The presence of so many martial arts veterans, including people of the same age like Princess Ankang, made Ye Feng feel embarrassed.

Normally, I would just teach a lesson in private.

In front of so many people, Ye Feng suddenly felt embarrassed.

"how?"

"Want another slap?"

"Don't you see what the occasion is? You have no right to speak."

Long Xiaofeng didn't care and just stretched out his palm as big as a palm fan.

Ye Feng was angry but dared not say anything. He could only cover the back of his head and complain in his heart.

"Hero Long, it's actually nothing."

"Young Master Ye is just curious."

Princess Ankang smiled and smoothed things over for Ye Feng.

Although Princess Ankang is younger, she has a better understanding of the ways of the world.

The imperial palace is the place where people's hearts are the most complicated in the world, and Princess Ankang often consults the two stewards, so she is much more mature psychologically than her peers.

"Young Master Ye, this shoulder badge of mine is the symbol of the Red Scarf Team's captain, and it was custom-made by a skilled craftsman from the Imperial Palace. If you are interested in this shoulder badge, you can join the Red Scarf Team and see if you can take my position."

Princess Ankang's serious answer made Ye Feng feel less anxious.

He felt that his previous embarrassment had eased a lot. Although he was grateful to Princess Ankang for helping him out, he suddenly felt an urge to refuse to admit defeat.

"I see. Since you, the captain, can do it, then I can do it too."

After these words were spoken, not only Long Xiaofeng, but also Ye Feng’s other three senior brothers and sisters frowned.

"What's wrong with Xiao Feng?"

The three of them muttered to themselves.

Although Ye Feng is the Sword Master's direct disciple, he has always been friendly in the sect and is very respectful to his senior brothers and sisters, without any airs.

Of course, this is also related to the style of Qianren Sword Pavilion, where everything is done with swords.

But they all knew that Ye Feng was a good boy and would never be so rude.

But Ye Feng's performance was really bad. Nilubaier, who was watching the fun, smiled slightly and looked at Ye Feng with a playful expression.

The others also smiled and shook their heads, as if they didn't take Ye Feng's matter too seriously.

They are all veterans in the martial arts world, so naturally they can understand Ye Feng's feelings.

Seeing a girl who is a few years younger than you, talking freely and behaving in a dignified and elegant manner in a situation where you have no right to speak, will naturally trigger people's instincts, and make them want to find arguments that are not inferior to others.

Everyone has experienced this kind of thing when they were young, so these seniors in the martial arts world would not blame Ye Feng.

People's self-confidence is given by themselves, and is definitely not compared with others.

Appreciating a wise, knowing those out.

The winner is strong, and the self-winner is strong.

But how can we understand this truth when we are young?

Therefore, there was no disgust in the eyes when everyone looked at Ye Feng. They were just simply looking at the young man.

However, Nirubail was more playful. After looking at Ye Feng for a long time, she glanced at Princess Ankang.

"She is indeed extremely beautiful, and is quite different from Princess Yan Zhao."

Although Princess Ankang is only thirteen years old this year, due to her special physique, she has already grown into a graceful young lady, and there is not much immaturity in her eyes, but rather a mature and wise look.

If others knew Princess Ankang's real age, they would be surprised.

Princess Ankang just smiled at Ye Feng's slightly rude words and didn't take it seriously. Instead, she encouraged him:

"Then I look forward to Young Master Ye's performance."

Then, Princess Ankang withdrew her gaze and discussed with those present how to deal with the evil dragon.

She had previously received instructions from Emperor Yongyuan to take the disciples of Qianren Sword Pavilion to the Meteorite Dragon Crater.

Now the evil dragon is trapped in the Meteorite Crater and cannot escape, but it pops up every day to challenge the enemy, causing unrest in the surrounding area.

Fortunately, the Meteorite Dragon Crater is located deep in the mountains and the surrounding area is desolate. However, the people who monitor the Meteorite Dragon Crater have to work hard and have no peace every day.

In addition to the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, there are also three hundred elite soldiers brought by Hou Zhongguo.

However, these soldiers are not permanently stationed here, but use the Meteorite Crater as their camp to suppress the rebels within Guanglin Prefecture.

For ordinary rebellions, the third prince and the eighth prince are enough to lead troops to suppress them, and they will be assisted by masters from the Imperial Household Department.

But some tricky rebels require Hou Zhongguo and his 300 elite soldiers to take action personally.

Hou Zhongguo, with the coordination of the battle formation, can exert a strength close to the peak of the second rank, and it is easy to defeat the rebels.

It was through Guanglin Prefecture's action to suppress the rebels that Li Xuan discovered that the role of masters in the front battlefield was not as great as he had imagined.

Of course, the masters Li Xuan mentioned did not include those with strength above the Pseudo Heavenly Dao Realm.

Even if one is as strong as the peak of the second rank, at most he can kill and defeat a group of enemy troops. It is not easy to wipe out all of them.

First of all, the consumption of true Qi is extremely huge and it cannot keep up with the recovery.

Even if the consumption of killing the enemy is controlled, the enemy is not powerless to resist. They will launch attacks and consume the true energy of the strong.

Even if this consumption is not much, it can still be described as an ant biting an elephant to death.

It's like a person holding a sharp knife and killing thousands of rabbits.

Rabbits basically won't cause any harm to humans, but repeating a simple action like slashing with a knife can cause terrible damage if repeated enough times.

Therefore, on the battlefield, the most reasonable way for a master to use his weapons is to decapitate and defeat the enemy's command system.

In order to prevent masters from being consumed and killed by low-level enemies, there is a tacit understanding between soldiers and soldiers, and generals and generals.

Of course, if one side has a higher-level master, the outcome on the battlefield will basically be one-sided.

But if someone does something stupid like a crazy person, even higher-level masters may not be able to keep calm.

The Eighth Prince had almost been ambushed and defeated before. If he hadn't been accompanied by experts and hadn't lost his composure, I'm afraid at least half of his soldiers would have been killed.

But after that incident, the Eighth Prince also realized the cruelty of the battlefield and matured a lot in just a few days.

These days, not only Princess Ankang, but other royal heirs are also busy.

The eldest prince and the fourth prince helped maintain order in local government offices.

During this turmoil, many officials died for various reasons.

They used their own connections to find a number of temporary officials from local families to maintain the operation of the government.

As there are rebels everywhere in Guanglin Prefecture, not many people dare to take on this hot potato.

But thanks to the efforts of the two princes, official order was restored in more and more places.

Now it is the turn of the third and eighth brothers to deal with the rebels, and then the eldest and fourth brothers will come in to stabilize the rear.

The two sides are cooperating more and more tacitly.

Back to the topic, after Princess Ankang introduced the situation in Guanglin Prefecture to everyone, she immediately sent someone to take them to the Meteorite Dragon Crater.

Princess Ankang needed to stay in the provincial capital and could not accompany them.

At least we have to wait until Emperor Yongyuan recovers and is able to take charge of the situation.

The ones responsible for taking them to the Meteorite Dragon Crater were Chief Steward Shang and Li Xuan.

Shang Zongguan was originally transferred back to assist Princess Ankang, but now the most chaotic period has passed, and it is enough to have Zhao Feng to help Princess Ankang.

Manager Shang originally wanted to arrange fast horses for everyone. After all, the disciples of Qianren Sword Pavilion did not have a high level of cultivation and would definitely not be able to keep up with the speed of these top third-grade warriors.

"Butler Shang, we have a better means of transportation here."

After Long Xiaofeng finished speaking, he blew the whistle.

"Wow—"

Following an eagle's cry that pierced the sky, a purple figure came from the sky and quickly enlarged in everyone's sight.

The Purple Sky Eagle landed with its wings flapping, stirring up a strong wind.

"Ah Xuan, look."

"What a big eagle."

Princess Ankang was holding Li Xuan at this time, preparing to send everyone out of the city.

Suddenly seeing such a big eagle appear in front of him, he couldn't help but grab Li Xuan's claws and exclaimed in amazement.

"I know, I know."

"I've already seen it."

Li Xuan's body was swayed, and he looked like he had lost all hope in life.

"Humph, there is one Purple Sky Eagle like this on every mountain in Qianren Sword Pavilion."

The annoying voice rang in Li Xuan's ears, but he was too lazy to turn his head to pay attention to it. He just lowered his ears silently.

Princess Ankang couldn't help but hold back her laughter when she saw Li Xuan's little ears. Then she gave Ye Feng an awkward but polite smile and responded silently.

Ye Feng curled his lips, feeling a little bored.

At this time, Long Xiaofeng jumped onto the back of the Purple Sky Eagle first, and then said to everyone:

"Everyone, please come up."

Everyone followed, and Princess Ankang handed Li Xuan over to Chief Steward Shang.

"Ah Xuan, Chief Steward Shang."

"Be careful on the road."

Princess Ankang waved her hand and gave instructions.

Then, she watched the Purple Sky Eagle slowly rise into the air in front of her eyes, and then flapped its wings and flew away into the distance.

"Oh, I hope everything goes well."

Princess Ankang murmured softly.

Then she turned around and went back to continue with the official business at hand.

Li Xuan stood on the shoulder of Chief Steward Shang and looked at the Purple Sky Eagle from a close distance.

The eagle's feathers are purple with a metallic luster, which is very rare.

When people step on the feathers, it makes a crisp sound, which shows that the feathers are of high hardness.

"Such a large flying mount is quite convenient."

Li Xuan watched the scenery beneath his feet rapidly recede.

The Purple Sky Eagle spread its wings, and it seemed very spacious even for so many people to stand on it. People standing on it would not feel bumpy, and it flew very steadily.

While Li Xuan was looking at the Purple Sky Eagle, the disciples of Qianren Sword Pavilion were also looking at him.

Of course, they first noticed Li Xuan because he was cute.

Moreover, it was quite a contrast that Wang Xi, a master who even Long Xiaofeng felt nervous, carried a cute little black cat with him.

But today they noticed something was wrong.

How come we got an old eunuch with this little black cat?

And looking at the way Princess Ankang held Li Xuan before, it was obvious that this little black cat was her pet.

"Is it popular in Daxing Palace to bring cats out?"

The disciples of Qianren Sword Pavilion guessed secretly.

Not long after, the Purple Sky Eagle arrived at the Meteorite Dragon Crater.

From a distance, Long Xiaofeng saw the damaged mountains that had been flattened around the Meteorite Dragon Crater.

He was knowledgeable and could tell at a glance that there used to be several mountains here, but now there was only devastation left.

"What kind of battle is this!?"

Long Xiaofeng couldn't help but gasp and swallowed subconsciously.
