Eternal Sword

Chapter 720 The world is in chaos
After the war, the Three Thousand Snow Ridges returned to peace.

The soldiers of the Cold Region had already fled, leaving only corpses on the ground.

It won't be long before the heavy snow covers these corpses, just like the soldiers of the Wu Dynasty who died here in battle.

The little Golden Peng hovered in the air, exploring the vicinity and never left.

After an unknown amount of time, there was a sudden movement in the snow.

An arm suddenly broke through the snow.

Immediately afterwards, a man sat up from the snow pit, his face pale and his breath weak. It was Chen Tang, who had been seriously injured but not dead in the duel with Sword Emperor.

He reached out and touched the uneven black inner armor on his chest.

It was because of this real dragon inner armor sewn by the Evil Emperor that he saved his life.

During this period, thanks to his indestructible body and powerful blood and energy, he had recovered some strength even though he was motionless.

Chen Tang picked up 'Wan Gu', put it on his back again, and headed towards the snow-capped mountains.

When he arrived at the snow-capped mountain, Chen Tang was stunned.

The snow-capped mountains that once towered into the clouds have collapsed.

It must be the aftermath of his fight with the Sword King that destroyed the snow mountain.

The bodies of Emperor Wu, Emperor Xie, and the Mountain King were also buried under this snowy mountain.

Chen Tang looked at the collapsed snow mountain in front of him, feeling lost.

Emperor Wu and the tiger king left.

Now, even this snow mountain has collapsed.

Things are different, and people are different.

The past is like smoke and has all gone.

Chen Tang knew that he had to practice as quickly as possible and enter the realm of transformation as soon as possible.

At the very least, he must enter the realm of transformation before Dao Zong recovers from his injury and Barbarian Lord and Emperor Qian enter the realm of Dharma.

Only in this way can we have the power to protect ourselves.

If he could go one step further and cultivate to the Dharma Realm, he might be able to avenge Emperor Wu and his men and complete the tasks they entrusted to him.

Break open this cage of heaven and earth and help a few people see the world outside.

There isn't much time left for him.

Whether it was Dao Zong, Barbarian Lord or Emperor Qian, they had all witnessed his methods and potential.

If Dao Zong recovers from his injury, or if Barbarian Lord or Emperor Qian enter the Dharma Realm, they will not let him go.

"Have you heard that Demon Blade Chen Tang and Sword Emperor had a decisive battle at the Three Thousand Snow Ridges, and they both died."

"Yes, I heard that the Sword Emperor gathered the power of the seven countries and wanted to take advantage of the civil strife in Beiqian to conquer the land of Jiuzhou in the south. Unexpectedly, he was intercepted by the Demon Lord Chen Tang."

"I heard that the armies of the seven nations in the Frost Region suffered countless casualties, and it was extremely tragic."

"Speaking of which, Chen Tang is worthy of being the successor of Emperor Wu."

"It's a pity for this generation of genius. He was only in his early twenties, but he had to fight to the death with the Sword Emperor, one of the nine sects in the world. If he had been given more time, his future would have been limitless. Alas."

The news of the battle at Three Thousand Snow Ridges quickly spread throughout the world.

There are many different opinions about this battle.

Some people also say that Chen Tang is actually still alive.

However, after this battle, no one saw Chen Tang again.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, a year has passed since the battle of Wujiang Mountain.

In the battle of Wujiang Mountain, most of the nine sects in the world were destroyed.

The Sword Emperor died in the Three Thousand Snow Ridges.

Dao Zong fled far away with injuries, the Barbarian Lord stayed in seclusion and refused to come out, and Emperor Qian disappeared.

The Xuantian Sect existed in name only, with only a few insignificant leaders left.

The world is in chaos!

In Beiqian alone, there are several princes who occupy one side.

Among them, the Murong family of Yanzhou, the Yuwen family of Yaozhou, the Li family of Liangzhou, and the former members of the Wu Dynasty led by Qin Xi and Qifu Qin had the greatest momentum.

When Murong Daoye was still alive, he allowed Qin Xi and Qifu Qin to grow and develop in the territory of Yanzhou.

Firstly, he was afraid that Emperor Wu might still be alive.

Secondly, it was also to protect the enemy and protect themselves. But after the battle of Wujiang Mountain, Murong Daoye died and Beiqian fell apart.

The Murong clan could no longer tolerate the existence of the old members of the Wu Dynasty.

Qin Xi and Qifu Qin led the former troops of the Wu Dynasty to break out of Yanzhou, pass through Qianzhou, and head west to seize Qinzhou, one of the nine states.

This place is located in the heart of the Central Plains and is also the place where the dragon rises.

The Li family did not make any major moves. They remained stationed in Liangzhou, storing food and fodder and accumulating strength to cope with any changes.

Southern Xia is also experiencing turmoil.

The death of Wang Xiaobo broke the power structure of the Southern Xia court.

Liu Daojian rose to become the commander-in-chief of the Northern Expedition.

Han Jingdao, the governor of Jingzhou, rose to power and dominated the area. Within a year, his military strength grew rapidly, even to the point of threatening the Southern Xia court!
On the one hand, the Han family is one of the largest and most powerful local families in Nanxia.

The Han-Wen Rebellion broke out that year.

Fortunately, Jian Chu from Dongshan and Ye Anshi arrived in the capital and put an end to the chaos.

The Han family lay dormant for decades and finally rose again in recent years.

On the other hand, there are rumors that Han Wen’s son Han Jingdao has entered the realm of transformation and become a grandmaster!
When this news came out, it caused a stir in the Southern Xia court and the underworld.

Han Jingdao is not very old, just in his early forties.

If you reach this age, you will enter the realm of perfection and have a bright future.

Moreover, this is the second person in Nanxia to achieve such an achievement after Jianzong.

The Han family's background, coupled with the rumors about Han Jingdao, immediately attracted countless strong people to join them and their reputation grew.

The death of Jian Zong at Wujiang Mountain caused great shock to the Nanxia martial arts world.

Originally, the Nanxia martial arts world was controlled by the Sword Sect.

Even if he lives in seclusion in Dongshan and doesn't show up for a long time, there won't be any major problems in the Nanxia underworld.

The incident at Zuixian Tower was resolved solely by the Sword Sect.

But once Jian Zong died, many powerful forces had no scruples and became ready to take action.

Normally speaking, Ye Xuan has the best chance of succeeding Jian Zong and taking charge of the martial arts world.

But in the battle at Wujiang Mountain, Ye Xuan was seriously injured.

Over the past year, he has been recuperating in Jiange and has never left the mountain.
-
In Yizhou, the mountain roads are rugged and the forests are dense.

At this moment, two graceful figures were performing their magic moves and shuttling through the woods.

One of them was wearing a light green gown, with a jade flute hanging around his waist and an ancient sword on his back. He seemed to be injured and his steps were a little slow. It was Ye Yushi, the Jade Flute Fairy.

The other person was a little older and was holding Ye Yushi's arm. He was Jian Qiuchi, the leader of Bashan Sword Sect.

I don’t know how long the two of them ran, they were both sweating and panting.

Jian Qiuchi looked back from time to time with a worried look on his face.

"Master, you can go alone. Don't worry about me."

Ye Yushi sighed.

As she fled, her true Qi ran wildly throughout her body, affecting her injuries and causing a dull pain in her chest.

If I keep running, I might not be able to suppress my true energy and go insane!
"No."

Jian Qiuchi shook his head and said, "If you can't hold on, let's find a hidden place and rest for a while. We have escaped so far, they shouldn't be able to catch up so quickly."

Ye Yushi's legs went weak and he almost fell.

Jian Qiuchi quickly stopped and held her.

Ye Yushi was in a state of confusion, his brows were furrowed and he looked worried.

Jian Qiuchi comforted him, "Don't worry, Ye Xuan is a peak Grandmaster, he should be fine."

Having said that, she also had a bad feeling in her heart.

Ye Yushi frowned and said, "His injuries haven't healed yet, why did he insist on going down the mountain? He..."

Jian Qiuchi said softly, "He comes every year on your mother's death anniversary."

"It's just that he doesn't dare to meet you. He always stays aside secretly, and only comes forward to pay his respects after you leave."
