The Heavens Start to Reverse Fate from Martial Arts

Chapter 176: Verbal Confrontation, Two Dragons Leave Song (Long Chapter)
"Extreme yang gives birth to yin, and regenerates the female form. What a strange technique. If one can produce yang from extreme yin, and the yin and yang complement each other, and get rid of the mortal body, then one can break apart and leave... It is truly extraordinary, and can be compared to the four great books."

A low and melancholy voice was heard, and a middle-aged man with gray hair and beard, handsome and flawless, walked slowly into the hall.

He has an upright posture, a high-spirited look, and beneath his calm and composed demeanor lies an unparalleled edge that can kill everything.

Wei Lianxiang smiled, staring at Song Que with bright eyes, and said in a melodious voice: "Compared to that Governor Tong, my family is far inferior... But compared to the head of the Song family, it should be slightly better."

As he remembered, after Commander Tong had comprehended the wonderful realm of heaven and man, he got rid of his ego and became a demon-like being who could make great monks sink into the sea of ​​desire with just one glance.

Compared with that, my little bit of cultivation is vastly different, a fundamental gap.

Song Que found a seat and sat down casually. He raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise, "Commander Tong? Is he a great master hidden in the court? I'm very curious, which force is supporting the court and willing to invest so much money?"

Every great master has his own pride in his heart. If there is no sufficient benefit, there is no reason to commit himself to the court and obey the orders of the Sui Emperor.

Moreover, according to the intelligence collected by the Song clan, Wei Lianxiang and the commander Yu Wenzhi in front of them have both entered the grand master realm from the grand master realm.

It was for this reason that Fang Xian knew about the power of the force behind him. Even when he first heard the news, he was stunned for a long time.

Song Zhi tilted his head to look at Wei Lianxiang, his face full of inquiry. No one in the world is not curious about this, but there is still no force to explore the secret.

However, there was a rumor within the Li family that the supporters behind Yang Guang were Taoist masters.

Not to mention the denials of sects such as Louguan Dao and Tianshi Dao, even the long-lost Zi Yang Zhenren came out to deny it, which was enough to exclude Taoism.

The derogatory words he just said can also exclude Buddhism. The Demonic Sect does not have such foundation, nor such possibility, and the aristocratic families do not have such possibility either.

After thinking about it, everyone was at a loss. There was no force in the world with such a strong background. The unknown represented fear, and all the forces in the world, big and small, were worried about it.

Wei Lianxiang took in the expressions of the two, smiled, played with the teacup in her hand, and chuckled, "Master Song will follow my family to the capital of Daxing, and he will understand everything."

"Brother..." Song Zhi's face changed slightly, and just as he was about to open his mouth to dissuade him, his elder brother waved his hand to stop him.

My eldest brother is the pillar of the Song family. If anything unexpected happens to him in the capital of Daxing, it will be too late for regret.

Today's Daxing Capital is a dangerous place. After Yuwen Chengdu led his army to war, countless strong men went to inquire about the news, but all of them never returned, and not even a single message was heard.

Song Que hesitated for a moment, raised his brows, and said calmly: "So, it is the person behind the Sui Emperor who wants to see me? He sent you alone? If so, it's not quite right."

The implication is obvious. Just relying on you, Wei Lianxiang, the governor, you cannot force Song Que to come to the capital. It's not that he is arrogant, but he has the strength and confidence.

By now, his Eight Techniques of Heavenly Sword have surpassed those of the past. When he exerts his full strength, he is confident that he can fight with all his might even against a great Grandmaster.

Wei Lianxiang smiled softly, lowered her head and took a sip of tea, and said slowly: "After reading this order, if Master Song still feels that it is not good enough, I will get up and leave."

As he said this, he took out a change of ownership order from his arms and threw it towards Song Que with a shake of his hand.

The wind whistled and exploded, and the feminine force wrapped around the token, carrying boundless power, across the sky, and stirring up a violent gale.

When Song Que heard the whistling wind, his eyes focused, and his body and mind instantly merged. He raised his hand like a knife and slashed it diagonally from bottom to top.

The invisible blade force cut through the air and shot towards the token in the air.

The force of the knife cut through the feminine force wrapped around the token. The moment the two collided, a sharp hissing sound was heard, and a soft breeze blew in all directions, leaving dense and tiny scratches on the wooden pillars of the tables and chairs, as well as the ground and walls.

Song Que's eyes lit up, and the sharp sword intent penetrated his body, gently brushing across the surrounding void, completely eliminating the soft breeze.

Wei Lianxiang nodded in appreciation: "Using your mind without division, you can concentrate on the spirit. Only when the spirit is concentrated can you achieve the intention. When the intention is achieved, the hands can follow. Only then can you talk about the method. When you have the method and enter the state of no method, you will understand how to use the sword. The mind and body are in harmony. When the body moves, the sword moves. The body and mind are united with the mind and will. Therefore, you can achieve the ultimate in sword, the ultimate in Tao, and the ultimate in mind. The Heavenly Sword is indeed worthy of its name."

His current strength is definitely the best among the grandmasters, but facing Song Que's Heavenly Sword, he still feels like he can't suppress it.

If it were someone like Ning Daoqi, facing Song Que who was trying his best, there would be a great chance that he would be defeated and killed.

Song Que opened his five fingers, took the token nonchalantly, and said calmly: "After all, your realm is a little short. You can barely fight. There is nothing to praise."

From the testing fight just now, he already knew that he was no match for this man, but if he tried his best, it would be more than enough for him to protect himself.

He shook his head and lowered his head to carefully examine the token in his hand.

The token is simple and elegant, with a Qin seal character "Yi" on the front and two characters "Ni Ming" in iron and silver strokes on the back. A trace of the martial arts spirit of transforming the world with virtue and defying the fate of the heavens lingers on it.

There was a flash of surprise in Song Que's eyes, and he tried to probe with his mind.

As soon as the spirits came into contact, the vision quickly distorted, and a strange and vast picture emerged in the mind.

The Taoist's body is huge and boundless, wearing a green Taoist robe. Thousands of stars are suspended around him, and galaxies are flowing around him. Billions of living beings are singing and praying, and the sacred songs resound through the starry sky.

The Taoist priest sits quietly with his eyes lowered at the eternal starry sky, like a god or demon overlooking the world and all living beings, as if listening to the prayers of all living beings.

Suddenly, the Taoist's eyelids slightly lifted, and the wisdom in his eyes generated thousands of words, which turned into a rolling torrent, penetrating through multiple dimensions and imprinting a supreme skill in the depths of his soul.

"The human heart is the heart of heaven, and the heart of heaven is the heart of heaven and earth. With the utmost affection for heaven and earth, I give up the affection for heaven and earth and become the impartiality of heaven... The Nine Slashes of the Heavenly Sword are flawless and without omissions. The sword will temper the body, and the mind is the only one!"

"What a great Heavenly Sword Nine Slashes! It really opened my eyes."

Song Que's eyes sparkled, his clothes moved without wind, his long hair fluttered, and his fierce energy stirred the void, creating ripples.

There is nothing else but the knife.

This is the ultimate level of swordsmanship that he has mastered.

But the Nine Slashes of the Heavenly Sword clearly pointed out a path that led directly to destruction.

The sword tempers the body, the body and mind become one, it can break the diamond, it can cut through the invisible void, it can cut through the gates of the gods!
This is very different from the current practice method. It cultivates the mind and body, condenses the supreme sword intent, tempers one's own body, and finally achieves unity of body and mind, breaking the void with the flesh.

Song Que took a deep breath, and the aura around him was restrained in his body. He suppressed the shock in his heart, stood up and bowed, saying:

"Lord Wei, who exactly is this Yizhu? Judging from his martial arts, he must be a cultivator of great virtue. Why would such a cultivator of great virtue... help the Sui Emperor?"

The divine will comes from the heart, and it best reflects the inner state of a warrior. Why would a person with such divine will in martial arts help Yang Guang?
Wei Lianxiang smiled slightly, slowly stood up, a pious look appeared on her face, raised her hand and said: "Wulian Tianzun, change the master's virtue, and save all living beings."

Looking at the astonished expressions of the two, he put down his hands and said seriously: "The realm of Master Yi has surpassed the limits of what you and I can imagine. The concerns of such a powerful person in the world are naturally beyond our understanding."

Song Que took in the piety on Wei Lianxiang's face, and felt a little heavy in his heart. What kind of strong person is worthy of such piety from a great master? What is the purpose of such a strong person intervening in the overall situation of the world?
Song Zhi took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "The Sui Emperor is tyrannical and unjust. Why would the so-called Yizhu support him? If he is really as powerful as you say, he can definitely choose a wise ruler to replace the Sui Dynasty."

As he spoke, he looked at Wei Lianxiang steadily, with a look of suspicion and confusion on his face.

The other party's words of nod have already shown that the supporters behind Yang Guang are great Taoist masters.

Why would a powerful person who might be praised so highly support a tyrant like Yang Guang? Or is this just self-praise?
Wei Lianxiang raised her eyebrows slightly, sat down calmly, and said indifferently: "With your majesty's great talent and strategy, if the Great Sui Dynasty was united, how could there be the current chaos?"

Song Zhi frowned, suppressed the urge to complain, and picked up the teapot to add tea to the cups on the table.

Song Que's expression became serious, and he said solemnly, "Song wants to hear the advice of Governor Wei. There must be a reason why such a great cultivator would interfere in the disputes in the world."

Wei Lianxiang nodded slightly, thought for a moment, and said slowly: "In the final analysis, it is just the aristocratic families and the Buddhist sect who feel that Your Majesty threatens their interests and want to change the throne, or even change the dynasty."

"You said it was all for profit, so why are these guys coming up with these high-sounding excuses? They are both right and wrong, which is really disgusting."

Wei Lianxiang looked at the two who had fallen silent, and said mockingly: "You, the Song clan, are the leader of the four major clans. Don't you know the power game behind the Guanlong Group and the many tricks that fuel it?"

"They treat the imperial power as a toy in their hands, greedily absorbing all the benefits they see, such as wealth, land, and population... just like gluttons, they only take in and never give out. If we do not resist, the Sui Dynasty will be overthrown by them sooner or later."

"The nobles enjoy the most generous treatment, but they don't think about how to serve the court. Instead, they keep hindering Your Majesty. What kind of shit is the teachings of Confucius and Mencius?"

"When the sons of the noble families become officials of the imperial court, most of them will spare no effort to promote the sons of their own family, and the cycle will continue, completely forming a closed loop of power monopoly." "Power becomes a plaything in the hands of a few people, completely controlling the power of the imperial court and blocking the way for people all over the world to rise."

"There are no poor families in the upper class, and no noble families in the lower class! These dead bones in the graves are actually thinking about restoring their former glory!"

As Wei Lianxiang spoke, she seemed to have thought of something and could not help cursing, "Damn it! The imperial examination system that His Majesty worked so hard to create was turned into a fake by these guys!"

"The backgrounds of the candidates who took part in the imperial examinations have long been thoroughly investigated. They have the final say on who will pass and who will fail!"

"Not only did it not play any role at all, it also highlighted the legitimacy of these bastards being officials. Who can tolerate this?"

"Don't even mention that Your Majesty wants to deal with them. If it were me, I would drag them to be buried with the Great Sui! They are a bunch of idiots who have no king or father. It's not too much to exterminate their entire clan!"

Seeing Wei Lianxiang lose her composure like this, Song Zhi couldn't help but twitch his lips. Hearing the other party's words, he couldn't help but feel weak in his heart.

Not to mention the Guanlong Group, even the Song clan could not avoid asking the court for help for their own interests. This has become a tacit understanding among all parties.

Wei Lianxiang glanced at Song Zhi and said calmly, "Your Majesty made great plans, and the court officials were responsible for their implementation. Tell me...is this your Majesty's fault, or is it the fault of the aristocratic families?"

"In this environment full of constraints, if it were you, would you be able to withstand the pressure from all sides like Your Majesty and achieve such meritorious deeds that will benefit future generations?"

"The Song clan is relatively abiding by the rules. If someone from another faction dared to disrespect His Majesty in front of me, I would have already sent his entire clan to Candy Crush Saga."

The last words were very calm, but the chilling murderous intent in them made people feel chilled.

Song Zhi's eyelids twitched, and under the influence of murderous intent, his body instantly stiffened and he was unable to move at all.

Song Que's eyes were solemn. He stood up and bowed, saying, "Lord Wei, please wait a moment. I have some things to tell you. I will go to the knife sharpening hall to get my weapons. After everything is arranged, I will set off with Lord Wei to the capital of Daxing."

Wei Lianxiang smiled brightly, suppressed her anger, and bowed in return, saying, "Master Song, please do as you please."

Song Zhi quickly stood up, bowed and apologized, then followed.

Soon, Wei Lianxiang was the only one left in the hall, leisurely sipping tea.

……

Knife sharpening hall.

At this time, people from the Song family gathered in the open space outside the hall, all looking at Song Que who was standing quietly on the stone steps with worried faces.

Song Que wiped the long sword in his hand with a serious and earnest expression, not missing any blind spot on the blade.

The Narcissus Knife has a simple and elegant appearance, with a slender blade and smooth lines, just like a fairy in the water. The blade is extremely sharp, flashing with cold light, as if it can easily cut through the air.

"Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling." Song Que opened his lips slightly, speaking calmly.

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling looked confused. They walked out from behind Song Shidao carefully, and under the scrutiny of the Song family members around them, they clasped their fists and saluted, saying, "Greetings, Lord. I wonder what instructions you have for us to come here?"

Kou Zhong had a resolute face, broad shoulders and a narrow waist. He was dressed in rough clothes, giving people a sense of boldness and straightforwardness. His slightly moving eyes revealed a keen eye.

Xu Ziling has a calm face, a thin figure, a silent and restrained demeanor, and a glimmer of indifference and transcendence in his eyes.

The two of them had been entrusted to Song Shidao by Fu Jun'er for more than two years. They stayed in the Song family and practiced the Nine Profound Arts wholeheartedly. They were also fortunate to be taught the Eight Secrets of the Heavenly Sword, and they lived a very comfortable life.

Such a life of worry-free food and clothing makes them feel reluctant to leave. If it were not for their personalities, they would have lost the desire to make progress long ago.

Song Shidao's eyes flashed with worry. He wondered why his father asked him to call these two people. Fu Jun'er entrusted them to him. If something unexpected happened, it would go against his faith.

Song Que put the Narcissus Knife back into the scabbard at his waist, put his hands behind his back, stared at the two people in front of him, and said calmly: "Although you two started learning martial arts late, you are extremely talented and intelligent. As long as you work hard, you can become powerful people in the future."

Kou Zhong raised his head slightly, his mind moved, and he asked tentatively: "The head of the clan... wants us to go out and venture into the martial arts world?"

He was a sensitive person, and after a little thought, he understood the deep meaning of the other party's words. Although he felt a little uncomfortable, he also seemed very calm.

Not to mention that he had the intention to make a living and had already had the intention to leave. Besides, his two brothers were not the kind of idiots who didn't know what gratitude was, so naturally they wouldn't harbor any resentment.

Xu Ziling's expression changed slightly, and he quickly kicked Kou Zhong, saying modestly: "Master, you are too kind. Our humble skills are not worthy of praise."

Some things are better understood in the heart, there is no need to speak them out and embarrass others. Seeing through things but not pointing them out will not hurt the surface harmony and can also save some face for each other.

Song Que stared at the two of them deeply, and said slowly: "You two brothers, one is active and the other is quiet, and you are of the same mind. You are not the kind of people who can live in peace. It's good for you to go out and try your luck. Of course, if you want to stay in the Song family, it's fine, but the prerequisite is that you become a member of our Song family."

Kou Zhong is bold and straightforward, quick-witted and changeable, and unwilling to be ordinary. Xu Ziling is honest and simple, extremely intelligent, and has a heart that transcends the mundane world.

One is proactive and the other goes with the flow. The two brothers depend on each other for survival, and it is very unlikely that they will stay in the Song family peacefully.

The reason why the two were allowed to leave was mainly for Song Shidao's consideration.

This kid is too deeply involved with that foreign woman. I must nip this in the bud before I leave.

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling frowned. The prerequisite for becoming a member of the Song clan was to marry a woman from the Song clan and become a son-in-law of the Song clan. Moreover, the woman they married was from the side branch. How could they be willing to do that?

"Since you don't want to, you two can leave." Song Que was not surprised and waved his hand to order them to leave.

Song Shidao frowned, and when he saw his younger sister Song Yuzhi wanted to speak, he quickly reached out and pulled her. He vaguely understood his father's intention, and a bitter smile appeared on his face when he thought of this.

Kou Zhong was shocked, and with a wry smile on his face, he bowed and said, "I have bothered you for a long time, and it is time to leave. My two brothers are grateful to the Song family for taking us in. If there is any need for me in the future, please tell someone to tell me that I will go through fire and water without hesitation."

Xu Ziling bowed solemnly and said, "If the clan leader orders us to do so in the future, we will risk our lives to come even if we are thousands of miles apart."

The two of them were proud in their hearts and naturally would not accept favors from others for nothing.

Song Que nodded slightly and waved his hand again.

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling looked at each other, nodded, bowed to the people around them, and then flew away without any reluctance.

Song Que glanced at everyone and said in a low voice: "During the time I am away from the Song family, I refuse any visit from outsiders. No one can disclose my whereabouts to the outside world."

After a long silence, he continued, "Make every effort to prepare for war. Make sure all weapons, food, and war tools are fully prepared. During my absence, Song Zhi and Song Lu will be in charge of the overall situation, and everyone must obey my orders."

"This concerns the future of the Song family. If anyone dares to disobey the family rules, they will not be spared. Even if they are my children, if they dare to do bad things at this time, they will not escape the punishment of the family rules."

As Song Que spoke, he looked indifferently at Song Shidao. When he saw him nod stiffly, he withdrew his gaze.

Song Zhi said with a heavy face: "Brother...how confident are you that you can succeed?"

He did not explicitly say how confident he was of coming back alive, so this matter had to be kept secret for the time being, otherwise it would surely cause panic among the people and lead to many unnecessary troubles.

"100 percent!" Song Que looked confident.

"Huh...that's good."

Although Song Zhi didn't know where Song Que got the confidence from, he suddenly felt relieved.

My eldest brother has always been resourceful and his decisions have never gone wrong, so saying this will probably not lead to the best outcome.

Song Que looked at the confusion on everyone's faces without saying much. He turned around to look at the Knife Sharpening Hall, then walked away without saying a word.

Due to Song Que's prestige, the people around could only watch him leave with an expression of wanting to say something but not being able to.
