Traveling the Heavens in Thunderbolt

Chapter 1111 Wang's Gun Gate
Xu Yanbing was from the Wang family of Beiliang. Although the family was not well-known, it produced the Spear Immortal Wang Xiu, the Half-step Martial Saint Xu Yanbing, the Mysterious Finger Realm Han Laoshan, Wu Jinling, and the New Confucian Saint Chen Zhibao, as well as the daughter of Wang Xiu, Qingniao, who took over the Momentary Spear. In just two generations, six first-class masters emerged. In the martial arts world, only Wu's Sword Tomb and Beimang Chess and Sword Music House have such strength in Liyang and Beimang. Even the Dongyue Sword Pool does not have such a great foundation. Wang Xiu, Han Laoshan, Xu Yanbing, and Wu Jinling are four brothers of the same generation. Among the four, the most talented is Wu Jinling, who has never appeared in the martial arts world. Wu Jinling entered the rank at the age of nine, the second rank at the age of twelve, and the Vajra at the age of seventeen. He is a natural prodigy, and his speed of breaking through the realm is almost comparable to that of Li Chungang, who was the best in the world at that time.

Unfortunately, Wu Jinling was defeated in the battle with Wang Xiu for the position of leader, and he lost his spirit and became a useless person.

He drank all day and disappeared. Some said he fell into a well and drowned, while others said he was enlightened by a master and went into seclusion.

As for Xu Yanbing, who ranks third in the sect, his real name is Liu Yanbing. He is the younger brother of Spear Immortal Wang Xiu. However, he is not well-known in the martial arts world and is far less famous than Spear Immortal Wang Xiu.

In the martial arts world, no one knows that Xu Yanbing is the junior brother of the famous spear master Wang Xiu, and even less knows that Xu Yanbing once surpassed Wang Xiu in strength.

It turned out that Xu Yanbing was the apprentice of Wang Xiu's father. Because Xu Yanbing was too sharp, the much older Wang Xiu had no hope of catching up with him, so he became depressed and unable to practice his spear skills.

For the sake of his son's future, Wang Xiu's father had to half-expel and half-invite this most trusted and promising disciple from another family out of the Wang family. This led to Wang Xiu's later reputation as the best spearman in the world.

The reason why Xu Yanbing left his master's sect was, firstly, because he was a disciple of a different family and did not want to compete with his senior brother Wang Xiu; secondly, he did not want to sit in a well and watch the world from a narrow perspective, and wanted to see with his own eyes the customs and practices of the outside world, and meet the various immortals who came into the world from outside.

After leaving his master, Xu Yanbing ventured into the martial arts world, traveling thousands of miles in the vast world. Although he was low-key and no one knew about him, his realm was constantly improving.

After Wang Xiu died at the hands of Chen Zhibao, he, who was still a soldier of Liu Yan at the time, avenged his senior brother Wang Xiu by single-handedly challenging the King of Beiliang, who was guarded by 500 cavalrymen. In the end, he was barely stopped by Jian Jiuhuang, who used eight swords.

Since Xu Xiao entered the martial arts world, he has always been rude to martial artists, but he is very optimistic about Liu Yanbing, a martial arts genius. Liu Yanbing had previously been a guest at the Beiliang Palace with Wang Xiu and Qingniao.

In response to Liu Yanbing's revenge, Xu Xiao not only let him go, but also gave him three chances to take revenge.

The Beiliang Palace is full of talented people. After three chances, Liu Yanbing neither killed Xu Xiao nor the villain butcher Chen Zhibao who was in the limelight on the border. Instead, he and Lao Huang became acquainted after a fight. They drank and talked together and gained a lot of insights. Besides, Wang Xiu's death was not as worthless as people said, so he was no longer obsessed.

Not long after, Qingniao dropped her surname Wang and entered the Beiliang Palace, becoming Xu Fengnian's personal maid.

Liu Yanbing also changed his surname to Xu and became a close guard of the Northern Liang King Xu Xiao.

In the Spring and Autumn Period, it was common for the heads of large families to give surnames to their confidants, especially those who came from the grassroots. However, there were only a few such people in Xu Xiao's case, and Liu Yanbing was one of them. After that, although Xu Yanbing often served as Xu Xiao's groom, he was the trump card of the Beiliang Palace and was qualified to sit and eat and drink with Xu Xiao, the Great Pillar of the State of Beiliang.

His senior brother Han Laoshan regretted that he stayed in the sect too late and entered the world of martial arts.

Perhaps it was because of this knot in his heart that he has been stuck in the Zhixuan realm ever since. He might not be able to enter the celestial realm in this lifetime. In the end, he set his ambition on the frontier battlefield of Beiliang and became the general of Lingzhou.

Among the four brothers, only Wu Jinling, who has the highest talent, is unfortunately missing.

The moment Chen Zhibao saw Xu Yanbing, a warrior from the immortal realm on land, appear, he realized that it was even more impossible for him to take action.

King Yan said calmly: "It will take some time for us to become enemies, or do you want to shorten this time?"

"Good King Yan, good Xu Fengnian!" Chen Zhibao knew that this was impossible. He removed the spear head, put both into his long bag, and strode out of the courtyard.

King Yan said to Chen Zhibao who was about to leave: "I'll give you a piece of advice. Zhang Bianguan was personally trained by Ao Xiao Hongchen and has little experience in battles. So, make the most of your last time."

"Humph!" Chen Zhibao snorted in response. Chu Lushan saw Chen Zhibao was about to leave on foot, hesitated for a moment, looked at King Yan, and saw that King Yan did not stop him.

He asked his border cavalry to keep a Northern Liang warhorse, and Chen Zhibao did not refuse.

Chu Lushan said in a warning tone: "Mr. Chen, you won't be treated like this next time you come to Beiliang."

Chen Zhibao ignored him and rode away.

When leaving Beiliang, Chen Zhibao looked at the familiar Beiliang sky and smiled inexplicably.

"Li Yang, ha~"

After Chen Zhibao left, King Yan dismissed the armored guards and others, looked at Xu Weixiong and other close associates of Xu Fengnian who had been hesitant to speak, and said, "What do you want to ask?"

As the second sister, Xu Weixiong asked, "Who are you? Xu Fengnian, Xu Tianjiao, or King Yan?"

King Yan replied: "I told you, all three of them are me, all Xu Fengnian."

Bai Huer asked immediately, "Who is Xu Tianjiao? And who are you?"

King Yan replied: "Xu Tianjiao is a character created by a man who lost his mother and wanted to take revenge on Li Yang. I am the darkness of this character."

Xu Weixiong asked: "Then how did Xu Tianjiao come into being?"

King Yan replied: "You should ask Xu Fengnian about this question. He can give you a satisfactory answer."

Xu Weixiong said in a bad tone, "I will ask him this question myself, but now, I want to hear your answer."

"Since you want to know, it's okay to tell you." King Yan told the truth.

"The Princess of Beiliang was left with a broken heart due to the trauma caused by the White Clothes Case in the capital. Therefore, Xu Fengnian wanted to take revenge on Li Yang, but was stopped by Xu Xiao and the Princess of Beiliang. He hoped that Xu Fengnian could let go of his hatred for Li Yang and choose to endure it."

Xu Weixiong nodded and said, "Father and mother chose to endure for the sake of the people of the world. That is indeed what they would do. But Xu Fengnian did not give up, and that is why you exist."

King Yan said calmly: "Giving up revenge is indeed not what Xu Fengnian wants to do, but he cannot go against the wishes of Xu Xiao and the princess. So, he worked with Xu Xiao and the princess for a month."

"What agreement?"

"I won't do it myself. But if Li Yang is determined to destroy Beiliang and is unwilling to leave the Xu family a chance to survive, I won't sit there and wait for death. Of course, according to the agreement, Xu Fengnian won't do it himself."

"So, there is Xu Tianjiao."
