The Heavens Start to Reverse Fate from Martial Arts

Chapter 169: Blood Pact Soldiers, Hall Guests Have Different Thoughts
Wang Yi nodded slightly, tilted his head to look at Cui Dong beside him, and said with a faint smile: "After you use the blood from your fingertips to awaken the spirit of this warrior, you will be able to control these thousand warriors freely. This is the gift from your master to you."

As he said this, his mind moved, and he activated the battle patterns in the general's purple palace, and directly began the blood contract ceremony.

Cui Dong's eyes opened and closed, his eyes were dim and hazy, without a trace of spirituality. He came to Shang Xiuxun and knelt on one knee, holding his head high, with a blood-red battle pattern appearing between his eyebrows.

The battle pattern is shaped like a raging flame, surrounded by murderous aura, like a burning flame. The fierce fighting spirit instantly fills the entire void, giving people tremendous pressure.

Shang Xiuxun sensed the terrifying fighting spirit in the void, and stood up slowly with a solemn expression, took two steps back, bowed solemnly again and said:

"Xiuxun thanks you, Master. The war soldier is related to the safety and future of Pegasus Ranch, so I won't be too polite with you. I wonder how this war soldier can awaken his spirit?"

She had no intention of shirking her responsibilities. To a strong person like her master, being too hypocritical would only annoy him. Being more open would actually bring them closer.

Of course, the most important thing is that she has not yet figured out her master's temper. A rash refusal might make him unhappy, which Pegasus Ranch cannot afford.

“Just use the blood from your fingertips to touch the battle pattern between the general’s eyebrows.” Wang Yi picked up the wine glass, tilted his head back and drank the wine in one gulp.

The blood sacrifice battle pattern is the core of the war soldiers, and the battle pattern in the purple palace of the war general is the core of the entire war army. Whoever controls this core can completely control the thousands of war soldiers in front of him.

Shang Xiuxun stood up, bit her index finger solemnly, and then pointed at the flame pattern between Duan Dong's eyebrows. The moment of contact, the intense burning sensation made her frown slightly.

As the blood absorbed it, the battle pattern slowly changed from dark brown to blood red, and the fighting spirit that filled the void slowly restrained until it completely disappeared.

Shang Xiuxun withdrew her hand and looked at Cui Dong who was kneeling on one knee in front of her. Suddenly, a wonderful feeling emerged in her heart.

It was as if... he could completely control the life and death of the person in front of him, and could even sense the loyalty in his heart, the willingness to sacrifice his own life, and the fighting spirit that was so intense that it could burn everything to ashes!

Cui Dong's dim and hazy eyes gradually showed spiritual light, and the thousand soldiers standing on both sides of the mountain road outside the square pavilion also showed spiritual light in their eyes. He blinked, knelt on his knees as if waking up from a dream, and bowed with great respect: "General Cui Dong, I pay my respects to the military commander!"

"We pay our respects to the military commander!" In the night sky outside the house, the sound of knees hitting the ground, the sound of armor colliding, and the shouts of soldiers... came in a mighty voice.

"No...no need to be polite." Shang Xiuxun raised her hand somewhat awkwardly. She had been in charge of Pegasus Ranch for many years and had already developed the bearing of a superior. However, facing such a mighty army, she still seemed somewhat awkward.

However, she adjusted herself quickly. Having been in charge of a force for many years, she still had a strong ability to control her state of mind.

"Yes!" The soldiers nodded in unison. Their voices were sonorous, powerful and uniform, making people feel their blood boil.

Cui Dong stood up, folded his hands and saluted, "General, there are many scoundrels in the city. Do you want me to clear them out?"

Shang Xiuxun was slightly stunned, and after a moment of contemplation, he ordered: "You all should hide in the dark first. The villains in the city dare not act rashly. Keep a hand and strike the enemy head-on at the critical moment."

After her master's action this time, it was enough to deter the villains in the city and ensure the safety of Pegasus Ranch for a long time in the future. What she needs to consider now is the future. The situation is becoming more and more unpredictable, and she must prepare for it.

"Does the military commander have any other instructions? If not, I will first settle the soldiers." Cui Dong asked in a solemn voice with a respectful expression.

"You can set up the military camp in the back mountain. If there is a battle, I will contact you through the battle pattern." Shang Xiuxun thought for a while and said seriously.

When she signed the blood contract, she naturally understood that as long as she was within a range of 10,000 meters, she could command and dispatch these thousands of soldiers through telepathy. Therefore, she hid them in the back mountain as a backup, so that they could play a huge role unexpectedly.

"Yes! I'll take my leave." Cui Dong clasped his fists and bowed, then walked out of the house.

Wang Yi looked at Shang Xiuxun who was frowning in deep thought and said calmly: "Take care of the trivial matters as soon as possible. I will stay here for a month. Once your practice is on the right track, I will leave."

Shang Xiuxun was indifferent for a while, then said in a low voice: "Master, why don't you stay a little longer? You have helped me so much, but I haven't fulfilled my filial duty at all. I feel really uneasy..."

Although she had a deep prejudice against the old man, it was undeniable that the old man very much wanted to live a good life.

The master she had asked for before her death was completely trustworthy. Even if she didn't mention this, she should still show some appreciation for the fact that he had helped Pegasus Ranch survive the disaster.

Wang Yi stroked the wine glass and said calmly: "Master has lived for 500 years. If you cannot achieve anything in your cultivation, it will only be a short-term intersection of fate... It is not important whether you are filial or not, what is important is to seek the Tao and obtain it. If you do not enter the Tao, you will only seek a scenery on the road..."

As he spoke, he lowered his eyes and sighed inexplicably.

After traveling through various realms, he accepted disciples including Yan Ming, Yan Ya, A'zhu, A'Bi, Wang Yuyan, and the present Shang Xiuxun.

The road ahead is long. When you look back, how many people will be by your side?
Shang Xiuxun was shocked and said in a lost voice, "Live for five hundred years?! How is that possible? Is Master about to become an immortal?"

She found it hard to believe what the master said, but the master's expression did not seem to be false. Could it be that there were really people in the world who could live for 500 years? But was it possible?
"When you embark on the path of Taoism, you will not be surprised. Go and take care of the trivial matters first. When you are free, come to the back mountain and practice with your master." Wang Yi shook his head without explaining too much, and there was no need to explain.

"Okay... okay, Master. I'll take my leave." Seeing that his master was unwilling to say more, Shang Xiuxun tactfully turned around and left.

……

Inner city, guest hall.

Shang Zhen closed his eyes slightly, lowered his head and stood quietly in front of the upper stairs. He selectively ignored the frequent inquiring glances from all around him.

He had to ignore them, because those sitting behind the tables on both sides of the lobby were all powerful people, and as a butler, it was not appropriate for him to have a deep conversation with them.

Song Shidao retracted his gaze, frowned slightly, and a trace of worry appeared on his face: "Uncle...I'm afraid things will be difficult to handle. The people at Pegasus Ranch are very repulsive to us, and can even be said to be hostile..."

It wasn't that he wasn't determined enough, but that the strong man behind Pegasus Ranch was too terrifying. With his own strength alone, he was able to kill nearly 70,000 troops...

How much terrifying strength does this require? What is the method of the light curtain that covers the 70,000 troops? Why is it so strange? What are the chances of the Song family winning against this person? Can my father handle it?

Song Lu stroked his silver beard and whispered, "Just wait and see. We have no ill intentions on this trip. We don't need to worry too much about the strong men behind Pegasus Ranch. We will find an opportunity to test them with words later. Be careful with your words and actions and don't be reckless."

They had no ill intentions in this trip, and they did not harm anyone after entering the city. Although they had some selfish motives, they came only for profit. Song Shidao nodded slightly and sighed: "It can only be like this... The situation in the world is getting more and more strange, and I don't know what terrible changes will happen in the world in the future..."

The power of their Song clan in Daxing City had not been completely eliminated, so they understood the urgency of the situation better than other forces.

According to news from forces in the city, Yang Guang has regained control of the Twelve Guards and added three more guards: the East Factory, the West Factory, and the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

The Yuwen clan was purged, and the Dugu clan was not spared either. The surrounding forces inside and outside Daxing City either surrendered or were destroyed.

After a series of brutal and ruthless killings, Yang Guang had completely taken control of the city of Daxing, and the Song clan was completely cut off from the forces in the city.

He racked his brains to figure out how the incompetent emperor Yang Guang had done it, and why the many forces in the capital city of Daxing were so easily destroyed like paper.
Li Xiuning took a sip from the jade cup, glanced at Song Shidao and Song Lu behind the table in the distance, opened his lips and whispered, "Second brother, the people of the Song family seem very worried..."

Li Shimin picked up a grape and threw it into his mouth, his eyes obscurely scanning everyone present. Hearing what his younger sister said, he calmly replied: "Let alone them, who among the people present is not worried? Compared to the Song clan, we, who do not have top masters in charge, are the ones who should be most worried."

As he spoke, a trace of bitterness rose in the corner of his mouth. The head of the Song clan, Song Que, was a man of great martial arts and military skills, with the reputation of being the best sword in the world and the Heavenly Sword. Who in the world would not give some face to such a powerful man who was vaguely comparable to a grandmaster?

Compared to the Song clan, the Li clan undoubtedly lacks a lot...

Wanwan, who was sitting alone at a table in the distance, kicked her delicate feet in boredom. Her white gauze covered her body, and her graceful figure was looming, causing the men around her to glance at her from time to time.

Wanwan looked at the bitterness on Li Shimin's lips, and rolled her eyes slightly, revealing a weird and evil nature. She coughed lightly, smiled and said, "Master Li, why don't you see the other members of your Li family? And what are you worried about?"

As the atmosphere in the field was broken, the eyes of everyone around fell on Li Shimin.

Shen Luoyan was dressed in men's clothes, and smiled brightly, "I think what Brother Li is worried about is what we are worried about." Then he pretended to sigh, "Alas... This matter is quite confusing, I don't know how long I have to wait?"

Li Shimin bowed and said calmly, "Miss Wanwan, Miss Shen, everyone, I know you are anxious, but this matter cannot be rushed. When the mall owner has arranged everything properly, he will come to see us."

"Heh..." Chen Tianyue was about to make a sarcastic remark when Shen Luoyan glared back at him.

Seeing this, Xia Xinquan swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth. As the two of them were Shen Luoyan's subordinates, they naturally knew how powerful this pretty military advisor was.

Shang Zhen heard the movement behind him, slowly opened his eyes, turned sideways and bowed, saying: "Your subordinate greets the host."

"Welcome, host!"

Everyone at the Pegasus Ranch saluted loudly in unison as Shang Xiuxun walked out slowly from behind the screen. They might have been more casual in the past, but now they don't have the courage to be casual.

"I met the mall owner."

Li Shimin, Song Shidao and others quickly stood up and bowed to greet him.

Shang Xiuxun came to the chair at the top, bowed and said in return: "No need to be polite, everyone please sit down." Then he sat down, picked up the teacup and took a sip.

Seeing Shang Xiuxun's casual attitude, everyone in the hall frowned slightly. They sat down with their own thoughts, and for a moment no one asked a question.

Shang Zhen's eyes flickered slightly, and he continued to stand quietly with his head down, saying nothing.

The rest of the ranch people were somewhat at a loss. They looked at Shen Luoyan who was sitting at the top of the table, and their faces inevitably showed worry. After all, these people were all powerful people. Was it inappropriate to neglect them like this?

Tao Shusheng's eyes flashed with strange colors, and he coughed lightly, breaking the slightly weird atmosphere. He faced the upper seat, bowed and said:

"Master, the distinguished guests from the Li clan, Song clan, and Wagang clan have come to visit us. We at Pegasus Ranch should not be too neglectful, lest outsiders laugh at us for not knowing how to entertain guests."

Shang Zhen looked up in surprise, wondering why Tao Shusheng, the third deacon of the ranch, would say such words?
Shang Xiuxun put down the teacup, glanced at everyone present, and spoke calmly: "My master, Master Yi Dao Ren, was entrusted by my... my father before his death to come and accept me as a disciple, and to help Pegasus Ranch survive this disaster."

"I have only been a disciple for a short time and I know very little. You don't need to waste your energy trying to test me."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone at Pegasus Ranch and Li Shimin and others looked at each other in bewilderment.

Wanwan's eyes flickered slightly, she stood up and bowed slightly, and asked with a smile: "Sister, is your father the world's best craftsman, Master Lu Miaozi, who is known as a versatile man?" As she spoke, she blinked her beautiful big eyes, her face full of admiration, like an innocent girl.

She was having a great time in Jingling when her master sent a message asking her to come to Pegasus Ranch to look for Lu Miaozi's whereabouts.

She thought it was just an easy errand, but she never expected that this Pegasus Ranch actually hid a terrifying and powerful person like Taoist Taiyi? She was really scared.

"The Lu Miaozi who built Yang Gong's treasure house?!" Chen Tianyue stood up suddenly with a look of shock. When he caught a glimpse of Shen Luoyan's murderous eyes, he immediately realized that he had made a fool of himself.

His heart trembled, and sweat broke out on his forehead. He gave a dry laugh, gritted his teeth and slowly sat down, lowering his head and not daring to look at the expression of Shen Luoyan beside him.

As soon as the words fell, the atmosphere in the field suddenly became subtle.

Wanwan was stunned for a moment. When she came to her senses, she curled her lips slightly and said in surprise, "Ah? Yang Gong's treasure house? Is it the Yang Gong's treasure house that is as famous as the He Shi Bi and whoever possesses it can gain control of the world?"

Li Shimin was speechless when he saw Wanwan's performance. A witch is a witch, and her acting skills are really amazing.

He glanced at the seat above him, looked at Shang Xiuxun's slightly ugly expression, and consciously quieted down, signaling with his eyes to the younger sister beside him not to talk too much.

Li Xiuning nodded slightly, picked up a grape and ate it by herself, looking around, observing the expressions of everyone in the hall.

Without her second brother saying much, she also knew the importance of the matter. It concerned Yang Gong's treasure house, so she had to be cautious and prudent.
