Eternal Sword

Chapter 442: More danger than good
The moonlight is like water, sprinkling on the Xia River flowing eastward, emitting a bright glow.

Jingkou is an important town and the general’s mansion.

The lights in the inner hall were bright.

The commander-in-chief of the Northern Expedition Army, Wang Xiaobo, the auxiliary general Liu Daojian, and several other generals and military officers from various places were standing in front of a map of Wuzhou, discussing matters.

As a military officer, Song Wu followed Liu Daojian and stood guard at the door. He was not qualified to attend such a meeting.

But he had some idea of ​​what was going on.

There are traces of Xuantian Sect in Wuzhou. A few days ago, they massacred Meixiang County, causing heavy casualties.

Afterwards, the Xuantian Sect disappeared.

Wang Xiaobo was furious. Several spies were looking for the trace of the Xuantian Army. They have returned and are compiling information and discussing countermeasures.

At this moment, a guard walked towards this side quickly.

Seeing Song Wu at the door, he hurried forward and said, "General Song, there is a man outside the palace who wants to see you. His name is Mei Zhenyu, and he is from the Plum Blossom Sword School. He said he is a friend of General Song and has important military information to report."

"Ok?"

Song Wu frowned.

He had some impression of this Meizhenyu.

We met once in Langya Pavilion.

But if we can say that we are friends, we can’t really say that.

Over the years, some people in the underworld wanted to establish a relationship with him and infiltrate the Northern Expedition Army, but he rejected them all.

As for any important information, it is mostly just an excuse.

He was now guarding outside the inner hall, ready to respond at any time and could not leave at will.

Song Wu hesitated for a moment and asked again: "What else did he say?"

"I didn't say anything."

The guard thought for a moment and said, "This man looks exhausted and out of breath. He may be in a hurry. He speaks incoherently and talks about Chen Tang and his life is at stake."

Song Wu's face changed, and he immediately said, "Take me there."

Not long after, Song Wu, with a serious expression, brought Mei Zhenyu over, asked him to wait outside, and went in himself.

"Generals, I have something important to report."

Song Wu came in and interrupted the discussion of Wang Xiaobo and others.

"What's the matter?"

Liu Daojian asked.

Song Wudang told Mei Zhenyu the news he had heard verbatim.

"Cangshan Mountain near the capital?"

The generals present frowned secretly.

One person said, "According to the information we have gathered, this Xuantian Army is near Wuxing County. How come they have come to the capital?"

Liu Daojian shook his head and said, "If what this person said is true, this Xuantian Army has more than 3,000 people. With such a large force, it is impossible for them to march from Wuxing County to Cangshan in the capital without leaving any traces or making any noise, even if they were marching in the wilderness."

Song Wu remained silent.

This is indeed difficult to explain.

He reported the matter to Chen Tang out of his trust in him and his concern for him.

“It’s not impossible.”

Wang Xiaobo suddenly said, "As far as I know, after Master Xuan entered the Nascent Soul stage, he was able to control a large magical instrument and fly in the air, carrying 3,000 people without any problem."

The generals were shocked.

Liu Daojian said: "There are very few people like this in Xuantian Sect. Apart from Master Lei Gongfeng, I am afraid that only their two disciples can control this kind of magic weapon."

Wang Xiaobo added: "There are also four high priests."

Liu Daojian said: "It is rumored that Xuantian Sect has four great priests above the twenty-four priests, but the identities of these four are extremely secretive and no one has ever seen them. Whether these four really exist is probably unknown."

"Yes." Wang Xiaobo said slowly with a firm tone, "I have seen one of them. He wore a mask with mysterious runes engraved on it, hiding his features. He was not a mystic master, but a grandmaster. However, I was unable to keep him at that time."

Everyone fell silent for a moment.

The fact that he was able to escape from Wang Xiaobo's clutches shows his real strength!
Wang Xiaobo's eyes moved, and he looked at Song Wu and asked, "General Song, you were born a scout, what do you think about this matter?"

Song Wu said in a deep voice: "According to my subordinates, this Xuantian Army massacred Meixiang County, including releasing some information about their bases, perhaps in an attempt to lure the tiger away from the mountain, and the real purpose may be the capital."

A general snorted coldly: "What kind of power can a Xuantian Sect with 3,000 people have? How dare they invade the capital?"

"The Xuantian Sect has always acted crazily and irrationally, and they are likely to do anything earth-shattering," said another person.

Wang Xiaobo was silent for a moment, then asked, "You just said that Chen Tang went to Cangshan alone?"

"Yes."

Song Wu nodded.

Wang Xiaobo said, "Sun Wuzhong, He Qian, you guard Jingkou. Daojian, you select 10,000 elite soldiers, set off immediately, and follow me to Cangshan."

"Order!"

Afterwards, Liu Daojian hesitated for a moment and said, "General, even if this news is accurate, Chen Tang's trip to Cangshan must have alerted the enemy. I'm afraid the Xuantian Sect has already escaped."

"Go and have a look."

Wang Xiaobo was the first to walk out of the hall.

Recalling the first time he met that dignified and capable young man outside Langya Pavilion, Wang Xiaobo couldn't help but feel a trace of regret in his eyes.

He had reminded Chen Tang at the beginning that if he wanted to gain a foothold in Da Xia, someone with Chen Tang's personality must find a strong enough backer.

Otherwise, there will be crises everywhere!
But he didn't expect that in just over a month, the young man had died in Cangshan Mountain.

Choosing to challenge the entire Xuantian Sect alone to avenge Meixiang County is certainly admirable and heroic enough, but it is a pity that it ends in this way.

Those so-called heroes in the world are far inferior to him.
-
Langya Pavilion.

Upon hearing the news about Zhu Lingxue, everyone in Langya Pavilion was shocked.

If one person challenges an entire Xuantian army, how can he survive?
Zhiwei was even more confused when he heard this.

She heard that her senior brother Changsheng Zhenjun had recently arrived in Wuzhou. It seemed that he was going to Beijing to meet someone and should not be there.

But even so, there is a chief priest sitting in every altar.

That is Jindan Zhenren!

What’s more, there are third- and fourth-rank warriors and three thousand fearless Xuantian soldiers.

How can one person fight against thousands of troops?
It’s a pity that Ye Xuan had already left Langya Pavilion and his whereabouts were unknown.

Ye Taoyuan acted decisively and urgently summoned the masters in the pavilion. He rode down the mountain on horseback and galloped towards Cangshan Mountain.

As time was too tight, Ye Taoyuan could only gather more than 500 experts at one time.

Compared with the Xuantian Army of 3,000 people, they are far inferior.

But Ye Taoyuan had almost no hesitation.

Not only because she has a deep hatred with Xuantian Sect, but also because Chen Tang has done a favor to Langya Pavilion!

Shen Zhiwei was also among the entourage.

At the same time, Old Lady Shen notified Shujiantang and ordered the head of Shujiantang, Shen Zijing, to lead his disciples to Cangshan for support!

the other side.

Mei Qingyuan brought all the disciples of the Plum Blossom Sword Sect down the mountain, gave away all their gold, silver and jewelry, and invited some green forest heroes and martial arts masters.

Finally, more than two hundred people gathered and rode towards Cangshan Mountain at full speed.

When people in the martial arts world heard that they were going to deal with the Xuantian Sect, they all tried to avoid it as much as possible.

Being able to gather more than 200 people is already the limit.

Most of these are desperate criminals in the underworld. As long as they are paid enough, they will do anything desperate!
For a moment, the situation was tense and three groups of troops set out from all over Wuzhou, raising a cloud of dust as they rushed to Cangshan to provide support.
