Traveling the Heavens in Thunderbolt

Chapter 998: Sword Immortal
After Ling Guangyi's commotion, the atmosphere at the scene eased.

Xu Fengnian also secretly loosened his grip on the knife handle.

Cao Changqing just glanced at him and said nothing more.

Xu Zhihu took the opportunity to smooth things over and asked Jiang Ni, "Jiang Ni, would you like some tea?"

"Hmm." Jiang Ni hummed softly, angrily.

Cao Changqing just frowned at this. Knowing that there was still a long time to come, he was no longer in a hurry.

While Xu Fengnian and others went to the teahouse, Cao Changqing was stopped by Ling Guangyi and asked to stay in the hall for a while.

Cao Changqing understood the reason why Ling Guangyi stopped him, and asked directly: "Master, did you stop me to prevent me from restoring my country?"

Ling Guangyi asked in return: "Is it worth sacrificing the lives of tens of millions of people to restore the country for one person?"

Cao Changqing replied without hesitation: "It's worth it. If the Taoist priest wants to help, I will take it."

After the battle with Ao Xiao Hong Chen, Cao Changqing still did not show any sign of weakness and was not afraid at all that Ling Guangyi would take advantage of the opportunity to attack him.

Ling Guangyi shook his head and told Cao Changqing that he would not take action, and said: "Well, sir, your mind is firm, and I cannot shake it. I will not say anything more. It's just a pity that your talent is not used in the right way. If you insist on restoring the country, Ao Xiao Hong Chen will stop you. Why should Jian Zi Xian Ji meddle in other people's business?"

"The Taoist priest has great confidence in the swordsman named Ao Xiao Hong Chen." Cao Changqing had been fighting with Ao Xiao Hong Chen for a long time and had a very good understanding of his strength.

Judging from his expression, he doesn't take Ao Xiao Hong Chen's threat seriously.

Ling Guangyi immediately revealed Cao Changqing's trump card, "Mr. Cao, do you think you can deal with Ao Xiao Hong Chen just by being overbearing?"

Cao Changqing's calm expression finally changed because of this. "How did you know that?"

A secret history was told by Ling Guangyi. "In the past, the first sage of Confucianism and Taoism, in order to protect the human world and prevent the immortal world from spying on the human world, monopolized 80% of the luck of Confucianism and Taoism and guarded the human world for 800 years. Although this move was beneficial to the world, it also made it difficult for the human world to reproduce a Confucian sage. Mr. Cao was able to think of switching from Confucianism to hegemony, which was really a genius. Unfortunately, the hegemony of the hegemon will inevitably arouse the jealousy of the heaven. If you hurt the enemy by three points, you will hurt yourself by seven points. If Mr. Cao wants to switch from Confucianism to hegemony, his life will definitely not last long."

What Cao Changqing was concerned about was Ling Guangyi's Confucian sage way, "So this is why I have been unable to break through the Confucian sage realm. But, what is your purpose in telling me this?"

Cao Changqing is not a three-year-old child, so he naturally doesn't believe that Ling Guangyi would tell him these things so selflessly.

Ling Guangyi said with emotion: "Xu Xiao is willing to give up his personal grudges for the sake of the people of the world. Such a broad mind is really admirable."

"So that's how it is." Cao Changqing already understood.

Jiang Ni has a close relationship with Xu Fengnian, and she agreed to Xu Fengnian's conditions to complete a task for him.

The stronger I am, the more help I can provide to Xu Fengnian.

Ling Guangyi secretly used his own hand to help Xu Fengnian, and his position was questionable.

"Master, please tell Xu Fengnian that as long as he is willing to hand over Princess Taiping, I am willing to kill Chen Zhibao for him." Knowing that he could not take Jiang Ni away today, Cao Changqing planned to visit the Lu Mansion where Xu Fengnian and others were staying tomorrow, and left on his own.

After Cao Changqing left, Ling Guangyi visited Xu Fengnian and others in the tea room.

When Xu Fengnian saw Ling Guangyi, the first thing he said was, "Master, did you kill Cao Qingyi?" Hearing this, Jiang Ni said angrily, "What did Uncle Qizhao do to offend you that made you want to kill him?"

Xu Fengnian looked nonchalant and said with a smile: "He has offended me in many ways. Besides, when did this prince need a reason to kill someone? It was the same when I was in Beiliang. It's a pity that my Beiliang Iron Cavalry is not here, otherwise I would really see if Cao Wudi is really invincible."

Ignoring the angry little clay figurine, he asked Ling Guangyi, "Master, you haven't answered my question yet?"

Ling Guangyi said with a smile: "Your Highness thinks too highly of me. How can a mere humble man like me be able to deal with Cao Wudi?"

Xu Fengnian praised: "The Taoist priest is the one who was awarded the title of 'Unrivaled in Ten Thousand Daos' on Mount Longhu. I'm afraid that the Taoist priests in Mount Longhu who are greedy for experience can't do the skill of killing two heroes with one sword just now. I think he can definitely beat 'Invincible in the Ending'."

Ling Guangyi was not fooled at all. "Your Highness, you are overpraising me. Let's not talk about the old Sword God Li beside you. He used to have a wooden ox and horse, and no one in the world could defeat him. Even Wang Xianzhi, who is suppressing the martial arts world today, was defeated by the old Sword God six times in a row. How can my mere reputation compare to him?"

Xu Fengnian then praised: "Mr. Jianzi is so modest, he is indeed a Taoist master."

While accepting Xu Fengnian's praise, Ling Guangyi bought a piece of Long Su, "No, no. Compared with the magnificent Shulou Long Su, I am just a flickering fire. If you have anything to do, you can go to Sanfenchunse. I'm sure the hospitable Long Su will not refuse."

"Also, there is one more thing I want to tell the prince. Before leaving, Mr. Cao said he was willing to get rid of Chen Zhibao in exchange for the prince."

Xu Zhihu, who was standing by, took a deep breath and asked, "Are you serious?"

Xu Fengnian already believed it.

He just laughed at himself and said, "As a Cao official, how could you joke with a junior like me?"

As the eldest of Xu Xiao's six adopted sons, Chen Zhibao was nicknamed "White-Clothed War Immortal" and "Little Man Butcher".

In the Beiliang army, his status is second only to Xu Xiao.

He is the real number two.

In the battle of Xileibi in the past, it was Chen Zhibao who took action, causing Jiang Bingsheng to witness his wife and children being dragged to death with blood oozing from the corners of his mouth.

A leading figure in military strategy at Shangyin Academy once admitted that if Chen Zhibao and Gu Jiantang, the military strategist second only to Xu Xiao, were each given 100,000 soldiers, the outcome would be fifty-fifty.

But after giving him 300,000 soldiers, Chen Zhibao was sure to win. Of course, this was without considering anything outside the battlefield, but it was enough to prove how terrifying Chen Zhibao was.

This is also the reason why the court did not dare to suppress Xu Xiao too much.

They were afraid that this unscrupulous warrior immortal in white would take the opportunity to raise the banner of rebellion.

The 300,000 cavalrymen of Xiliang are much more terrifying in his hands than in the hands of the aging Xu Xiao.

Ling Guangyi reminded: "Mr. Cao can see even such conditions, it can be seen that he is determined to get Princess Taiping who is by the side of the prince."

Prince Beiliang narrowed his eyes, looking like a dandy. "Whatever he wants, it has nothing to do with me. But what is your relationship with Aoxiao Hongchen and Master Fojian? Why do you all wear masks?"

"Your Highness has seen Buddha Sword. That's right, according to Buddha Sword's character, for the sake of the 100,000 lives in Xiangfan, he will definitely take off the Strange Book. As for this Strange Book..." Ling Guangyi pointed at the Strange Book on his face, pondered for a while, and said, "The time has not come yet. Besides, according to your Highness's intelligence, you will definitely be able to figure it out."
