Eternal Sword

Chapter 547: Greed for Heaven's Merit
“It’s really dirty.”

The drunkard's laughter gradually subsided and he uttered a sigh.

Everyone was confused and didn't know what this meant.

The drunkard said, "With Wang Xiaobo's means and courage, could he have set up such a big plan? If it weren't for Brother Ye's intervention, could Wang Xiaobo's Northern Expedition Army and Yang Kan's Jiangzhou Army have wiped out the Xuantian Sect in one fell swoop?"

Everyone knows that the Brother Ye that Zui Weng mentioned is Jian Zong.

Could it be that the Sword Sect has really come out?
Everyone looked at Ye Xuan, trying to find an answer.

Ye Xuan looked indifferent and remained silent.

The drunkard added: "No matter how ruthless and calculating we are, we can never defeat those shameless villains in the court who scheme against each other all day long and play tricks on each other."

Everyone became even more confused after hearing this and didn't understand who the Drunkard was referring to.

The drunkard looked mocking and said, "Brother Ye has made great contributions, but in the end, all he got was a casual remark: "The Queen Mother Yu heard about the incident in her bedroom and was shocked and passed away."

“Who in the future can see the danger and bloodshed behind this sentence?”

Zui Weng is not in the capital, but he knows who Empress Dowager Yu is.

So he knew in his heart that Empress Dowager Yu could not have died of fright.

The only possibility is that the Sword Sect took action.

The reason why all the people from Xuantian Sect entered the palace was probably because of this reason, they wanted to join forces with Queen Mother Yu to suppress the Sword Sect.

Unexpectedly, he fell into the trap set by the Sword Sect.

Including Ye Yun, everyone in the Sword Pavilion looked sad and angry, and they all felt sorry for the old Pavilion Master.

After the battle in Kuaiji City, the old Pavilion Master began to make plans to deal with the Xuantian Sect.

But if it was just a simple revenge and destroying one or two altars, it would not be enough to shake the foundation of Xuantian Sect.

Only by catching them all in one fell swoop can we prevent future troubles!

After years of planning, the old Pavilion Master entered the palace alone to face Empress Dowager Yu.

The true identity of this Empress Dowager Yu is not only the High Priestess of the Xuantian Sect, but also the one who has reached the Return to Void Realm in the Xuanmen Sect, which is equivalent to a grandmaster in the realm of martial arts!

It was because of the war that broke out between the two sides that the two leaders brought thousands of masters into the palace.

But in the end, it turned into a sentence 'Xia Daozi lured Xuantian Sect into the palace', which made Xia Daozi famous.

Ye Yun said coldly: "Deceiving the world and stealing fame, coveting the work of heaven!"

Ye Xuan remained silent and said nothing.

First of all, my uncle doesn’t care about fame and fortune.

Secondly, this is the agreement between my uncle and the royal family of Southern Xia.

The Empress Dowager of Nanxia was replaced by someone else. She stayed in the palace for so many years and killed many emperors. This is a huge scandal that is difficult to talk about for the royal family of Nanxia!
Empress Dowager Yu died of shock, which was considered the last bit of dignity left to the royal family of Southern Xia.

Zui Weng continued, "In the battle of the capital, I guess Jiange must have suffered the most casualties and killed the most enemies."

Ye Yun couldn't help but ask, "You are not in the capital, how do you know so many things?"

Zui Weng smiled and said, "Brother Ye has been planning for many years. He should have secretly trained a team in the Sword Pavilion that can fight against Master Xuan. They are also the main force in this battle. After you showed up just now, the sword formation you set up is something I have never seen before. It should be something that Brother Ye came up with over the years."

Ye Yun didn't say anything, which was considered as his agreement.

Jiange did indeed secretly establish a Wuyi Hall, selecting the elites from the younger generation of Jiange and focusing on their training. Everyone wore black clothes, practiced diligently, and studied the sword formation created by the old Pavilion Master, all for the purpose of a decisive battle with the Xuantian Sect!
Ye Yun asked again: "But how do you know that Jiange suffered the most casualties and killed the most enemies?"

Zui Weng said: "Ye Xuan's strength has already reached the peak of the Grandmaster. Even he was injured. You can imagine how tragic the battle was. Moreover, if I were Wang Xiaobo, what would I do if I saw such a powerful private army suddenly appear in Jiange?"

Chief Escort Yang frowned and said, "Old Shopkeeper, you are really being mean!"

The drunkard did not explain and continued, "Besides, I guess Wang Xiaobo is definitely not injured." Yang Jianzhi could not help but say, "General Wang and uncle will continue to lead the army to pursue the Xuantian army in Wujiang and Jiangzhou. There will be more battles later, so they will definitely be very careful and try to preserve their strength."

"Ha ha!"

Zui Weng laughed loudly and said, "But in the end, the letter didn't mention even a word about Jiange. The countless disciples of Jiange who died in this battle will not even have their names recorded in the history books."

"The future generations will only record Xia Daozi's merit in luring and killing him, Wang Xiaobo's strategic planning, personally leading the Northern Expedition Army to wipe out Xuantian, and Yang Zhishi's assistance. It's sad and lamentable."

Upon hearing this, everyone in Jiange showed grief and anger on their faces.

Chen Tang had a complicated expression and couldn't help but recall the ending of a book he had read in his previous life.

A great hero taught the Chanyu how to break arrows in front of the two armies, causing the six armies to retreat and forcing the Liao ruler to swear an oath that he would never invade the Song Dynasty again during his lifetime. He protected countless people from the war, but he himself committed suicide.

In the end, what did you get in return?
According to the book, the commander of Yanmen Pass came with a fast horse to report the victory, saying that he had personally led his soldiers in a bloody battle for several days and had fought against more than 100,000 Liao troops. Fortunately, Your Majesty was blessed with great fortune and the ministers in the court gave instructions on how to make the move. The soldiers obeyed his orders and killed the King of the Southern Courtyard, killed and wounded thousands of Liao soldiers, and forced the Liao ruler to retreat.

The Emperor of Song was overjoyed and sent imperial edicts to the border to reward the three armies and promote their officials to higher positions.

The Emperor of Song felt that he was wise and brave, so he held banquets for several days in a row. The sound of singing praises filled the ears, and the expressions of celebration for the great victory came in one after another.

This great hero was just the King of the Southern Court who was killed in the victory report.

That's it.

Yun Yifeng said in a deep voice: "Old shopkeeper, you are saying this just to sow discord. No matter what, Xuantian Sect is destroyed, and you must give an explanation to the martial arts world today!"

"What, do you want to do something?"

The drunkard looked around, his eyes were like torches, and his whole body exuded an extremely terrifying aura. His hair and beard were standing up in anger. He said slowly: "If I fight to the death, your Yunmeng Villa will flow like a river of blood!"

Everyone was silent.

There are more than ten masters present, but if Zui Weng is determined to kill people, even if everyone joins forces, they may not be able to suppress him in a short period of time.

By then, I wonder how many people will be buried here.

"Dad, fight them!"

A ruthless look flashed across Manager He's eyes, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Brothers of Zuixianlou, listen to my command. Let's fight our way out together!"

There was a commotion among the crowd.

All forces retreated one after another, distanced themselves from the Zuixianlou camp, and remained alert.

"Ugh."

The old woman sighed and said, "Old drunkard, now that things have come to this, why do you have to commit murder in vain?"

Liu Qian said: "You should kill yourself."

The drunkard's face was as gloomy as water, and he was unmoved. He looked around and said loudly: "Brother Ye, at this point, why don't you show up!"

The sound echoed around for a long time.

A moment passed, but there was no response.

Ye Xuan said, "Uncle will not come to see you."

When Zui Weng heard this, his previous arrogance and murderous intent disappeared in an instant, and he seemed to have aged a lot.

The drunkard stood there for a while, then smiled sadly and murmured, "We have been friends for decades, but you are unwilling to see each other for the last time? You are too rude, old man."

"It is because of our decades of friendship that my uncle avoided seeing you. Otherwise, how could you be alive today?"

Ye Xuan looked at the depressed and old Drunkard, and recalled what this senior used to be like. The words came to his lips, but he couldn't bring himself to say them out loud.

　Two updates in a row.
