Eternal Sword

Chapter 421 You Can’t Take People Away
Everyone followed the sound.

Not far away, a group of soldiers wearing the armor of the Northern Expedition Army walked in, with swords hanging from their waists. Each of them looked like a veteran of many battles, and their steps were neat, firm and powerful.

With only a hundred men, their momentum seemed to be more powerful than the thousand-plus imperial guards under Shen Guobao!

A sturdy man wearing a dark-patterned brocade robe and light armor walked in the front. He had a majestic figure, a purple-red face, a slightly yellow curly beard on his temples, and strange eyes with an extremely sharp gaze, like an eagle or a wolf.

If we say that Ye Xuan's aura is relatively restrained and tolerant, it is a combination of elegance and fortitude.

This person's aura exudes a sense of iron-blooded murderousness, as if he came from a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, which is daunting!
When everyone present saw this person appear, their faces changed.

Northern Expedition Army, General Auxiliary to the Country, Liu Daojian!

Not only did he experience the Battle of Xiajiang, but he was also able to remain standing during the subsequent turmoil in the Northern Expedition and rise rapidly to become the second-in-command of the Northern Expedition, which shows his ability and skill.

There have always been rumors that the Sword-Forging Villa's backer in the court is this great general in the Northern Expedition Army.

Now that it has appeared, it has confirmed the rumor.

When the three owners of Zhujian Villa saw this person arrive, they looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Daojian, how are you?"

Ye Xuan looked at the man, nodded slightly, and greeted him simply in a lukewarm tone.

Liu Daojian laughed loudly and said, "General Xuan is still as charming as ever. He has been in seclusion in Dongshan for many years, but he still doesn't take the princes and generals seriously. He fights when he says so. I admire him very much."

Ye Xuan remained silent.

At this moment, another guard from Langya Pavilion approached, looking uneasy, and whispered: "Pavilion Master, Old Lady, tens of thousands of Northern Expedition troops have come down the mountain and have surrounded Langya Peak!"

Many of the people present were martial arts experts, so they naturally heard these words clearly.

There are the Imperial Guards in front and the Northern Expedition Army behind, both of them come with ill intentions.

Some martial artists were secretly shocked and began to worry about Langya Pavilion.

Old Lady Su's face darkened and she said, "General Liu came here uninvited and led a large army to surround the mountain. What is his intention?"

Liu Daojian didn't beat around the bush and got straight to the point, saying, "I heard there are Xuantian bandits here. This is a serious matter. To prevent Xuantian bandits from escaping, this is the only solution."

"Please forgive me, Old Lady Su. The Northern Expedition Army has no hostility towards Langya Pavilion. However, if anyone dares to protect the Xuantian bandits and plot against them, don't blame me for being merciless!"

When Old Lady Su heard this, her eyes lit up and she looked furious.

Shen Yuanlin was sweating profusely and said quickly: "General Liu, please do not listen to the slander. There is no Xuantian bandit here. It is all a misunderstanding."

"Is it a misunderstanding? Come back to the barracks with me and I will interrogate you."

Liu Daojian's tone left no room for doubt.

Old Lady Su was furious. In the past hundred years, no one had dared to threaten Langya Pavilion like this.

"If my Langya Pavilion doesn't hand over the person, what do you want to do?"

Old Lady Su, leaning on her dragon-headed cane, took a step forward and asked loudly.

"Not much."

Liu Daojian had no expression on his face, and said slowly: "Langya Pavilion is sheltering the Xuantian bandits, colluding with the Xuantian Sect, and plotting evil. I can only give the order to razed this place to the ground!"

Many people in the martial arts world were horrified when they heard this.

No one doubted the strength of the Northern Expedition Army.

As long as Liu Daojian raised his arm and issued a military order, tens of thousands of Northern Expedition troops would rush up the mountain and be able to raze Langya Pavilion to the ground!

"It's over now. If Langya Pavilion doesn't hand over the person, it will be expelled tonight."

"After all, Langya Pavilion has been passed down for a hundred years and is one of the two pavilions in Daxia. Although its strength is not as strong as before, its reputation is still there. I don't believe that Liu Daojian dares to touch Langya Pavilion."

"Hey! Who is Liu Daojian? He is a man of his word. His prestige in the Northern Expedition Army is second only to Wang Xiaobo. If he gives the order, Langya Pavilion will be destroyed today!"

Everyone whispered.

"Haha, Chen Tang is finished!"

Although Xiao Wuhen couldn't see, he could guess how the situation would develop by listening to the noises around him. He became extremely excited and gloated over other people's misfortune.

Lin Mubai smiled faintly, as if he had seen through the world, and said: "Although being on the altar is the center of attention and the light is dazzling, it is not easy to gain a foothold. Falling from the altar is just a matter of one night."

Just when the two sides were at a stalemate, Ye Xuan suddenly said, "You can't take the person with you."

Liu Daojian's eyes turned and fell on Ye Xuan. He was silent for a while, and suddenly laughed. "I call you Marshal Xuan because I remember the kindness we had as comrades in arms."

Liu Daojian said in a deep voice: "If you insist on protecting the Xuantian bandits, then you will be the enemy of the Northern Expedition Army, our Great Xia, and the common people of the world! Then don't blame me for not cherishing our friendship!"

Once these words were spoken, it meant that there was no room for maneuver for either side.

No one expected that Liu Daojian would be so tough and not even give Ye Xuan face!

Ye Xuan said calmly: "First, Chen Tang is not the Xuantian bandit. Second, the Xuantian bandit is here, but it is someone else."

As soon as the words fell, everyone looked puzzled and looked around subconsciously.

Are there Xuantian bandits here?
If it’s not Chen Tang, then who else could it be?
The three owners felt a little guilty, their eyes flickered, and they pretended to be calm.

Liu Daojian's eyes flashed with coldness, and he said, "First, I will interrogate Chen Tang to see if he is a Xuantian bandit. Second, killing someone means paying with one's life, which is only natural! There must be an explanation for the dozens of lives lost at Zhujian Villa!"

Ye Xuan glanced at the sky and said, "Wait a moment, someone will explain to you."

Want to delay?

"I can't wait."

Liu Daojian sneered and said, "There are tens of thousands of Northern Expedition troops at the foot of the mountain. As long as I give an order, even if you are a master, how many people can you protect?"

"Are you threatening me?"

Ye Xuan walked towards Liu Daojian with a bad tone.

The hundreds of soldiers behind Liu Daojian rushed forward in an instant, protecting him in the middle, with their swords drawn, each of them looking murderous.

"Daojian, do you think that you can threaten me just because you become a Grandmaster?"

Ye Xuan walked towards Liu Daojian step by step, his eyes were as sharp as torches, and an invisible pressure emanated from his body. He actually passed through more than a hundred soldiers and stood in front of Liu Daojian!

More than a hundred soldiers seemed to be frozen in place, unable to move, with looks of horror.

"There are also differences in strength among Grandmasters, and the gap is huge."

Ye Xuan said: "Your army is approaching, I can't protect a few people, but it is enough to kill you."

In the face of Ye Xuan's words, Liu Daojian's previous threat seemed like child's play!

Everyone could feel that if Liu Daojian dared to challenge Ye Xuan again at this moment, he would surely die on the spot!

Seeing that Liu Daojian didn't say a word, Ye Xuan let him go and turned away calmly.

The moment he confronted Ye Xuan just now, Liu Daojian's back was already wet with sweat!
Unexpectedly, he had already entered the Divine Illumination Realm, achieved the status of a Grandmaster, and even became the second-in-command of the Northern Expedition Army, yet he still felt extremely insignificant in front of his old master!

"General?"

A soldier asked in a low voice.

Liu Daojian's face was pale. He just gave the man a look, indicating that he should go down the mountain quickly.

The soldier understood, turned around and ran away.

In this situation, only Wang Xiaobo can calm Ye Xuan down!

The situation was deadlocked for a while, and no one took any further action.

"General Liu, what are we waiting for?"

The head of the manor always felt a little uneasy, so he came to Liu Daojian and asked in a low voice.

Liu Daojian said in a deep voice: "Wait for someone!"

the other side.

Old Madam Su looked solemn.

It's not a good idea to stay in this stalemate. With such a big commotion at Langya Pavilion, the news will spread like wildfire after daybreak. I don't know what rumors will spread.

It will be difficult to explain clearly by then, and it will only be more disadvantageous to Langya Pavilion and Chen Tang.

Old Lady Su glanced and saw Ye Xuan standing aside with his hands behind his back, looking up at the sky, calm and composed. She couldn't help but frown and asked, "Ye Xuan, what are your plans?"

Ye Xuan said calmly: "Wait for someone."
