Martial Arts World Assassin

Chapter 371: Alliance of Righteousness
Huang Sixi dodged the poisonous fog of the little dragon by leaning sideways, drew out the Dragon Subduing Sword with his backhand, and fired sword energy continuously at the place where the little dragon flew into the air.

The little dragon felt a chill surging from above and around it, as if an air net was locking its flight direction. It immediately lowered its head and dived, trying to dive to the bottom of the lake.

As a result, before its dragon head touched the lake surface, Huang Sixi had already taken the initiative to strike with his palm, and with a "bang!" the power of his palm shook the lake water, raising spiral waves that tightly wrapped around its dragon body and pulled it back. It involuntarily flew away from the center of the lake and fell on the stone steps.

It stood up on the spot, then glanced at Huang Sixi after standing up straight. Seeing that Huang Sixi did not put away his sword, it quickly bent its limbs, knelt on the ground, put on a flattering smile, and kept making the whistling sound it made when it was playing intimately with Huang Sixi before shedding its skin.

Huang Sixi jumped off the stone turtle and landed in front of it. It subconsciously wanted to fly onto Huang Sixi's shoulder.

But when it half-erected its body, it was as tall as Huang Sixi's chest and there was no way it could coil on Huang Sixi's shoulder anymore, so it retracted its dragon head in disappointment.

Huang Sixi looked at its new body and asked, "How did you get up into the air? Keep flying up into the sky, let me take a look!"

Huang Sixi didn't think that it was using some kind of magic. When it flew into the sky just now, Huang Sixi had been paying close attention to the changes in its dragon body and didn't notice any strange reactions.

Its flying characteristic is to move sideways in the air, and every time it moves sideways, strong Qi fluctuations will occur in its dragon body.

Huang Sixi guessed that it was using its true Qi to perform lightweight skills, but its speed was too fast and it stayed in the air for a long time, which gave people the illusion that it could fly on the clouds.

When the little dragon heard Huang Sixi's request, it immediately became excited. It lightly stomped its limbs on the ground and its body instantly jumped several feet high.

When it reached mid-air, it hurriedly gathered its energy, and its cheeks bulged like a toad.

I saw this true energy swallowed by the dragon's head and poured into the long and narrow dragon body, forming a boost of energy that pushed the dragon's body to glide in the air.

In order to show off its new skills to Huang Sixi, the little dragon didn't use much strength and the thrust was relatively light, only pushing it about ten feet away.

In order to prevent the dragon's body from falling to the ground, it kept accumulating energy, repeatedly forming thrust energy outside its body, and flying around Huang Sixi.

Huang Sixi reached out and grabbed its dragon tail, signaling it loudly: "Use all your strength to fly forward. I want to verify the trajectory of your energy channels!"

The little demon dragon roared towards the sky, and its entire body was instantly filled with energy, even overflowing. Streams of green air poured out from its wide mouth. When the thrust formed in its body, its body immediately became tense, like an arrow shot from a bow, and shot across the sky for more than ten feet.

Huang Sixi grabbed the dragon's tail with his hand and was also affected by the thrust. He turned his body sideways and flew in the air with the little dragon.

After the little demon dragon flew out more than ten feet, without waiting for its body to react and stay in the air, it had already replaced the energy in its body. Its tail bent and swayed in the air, and it continued to flee with Huang Sixi.

In this way, Huang Sixi, dragged by the little magic dragon, began to fly like an arrow in the air several feet above the lake.

The energy fluctuations emitted by the little dragon when he was exercising even left a conspicuous water mark on the lake.

This water mark extended for several miles until the little dragon ran out of energy and fell into the water from mid-air, then it disappeared.

The little dragon was originally an aquatic spirit beast. It swam around in the water and the energy that had been depleted in its body was restored. With a "whoosh!", it jumped out of the lake again and became full of energy again.

Huang Sixi couldn't help but marvel in amazement. As long as the little dragon stayed in an area with water, it seemed that it could fly and move tirelessly, no matter whether it was in the sky or on the ground.

Unfortunately, its dragon body was still too small. After shedding its skin, it was only half a meter long. It could not bear Huang Sixi's weight, and Huang Sixi could not ride on the dragon's back.

At present, the little dragon is only suitable for temporary charging in dangerous situations and helping Huang Sixi break through the siege, but it cannot serve as Huang Sixi's mount for a long time.

However, Huang Sixi deduced a unique set of light-weight body movements by sensing the changes in the little dragon's luck during flight.

In the past, when he used Qinggong to jump from the ground, he could only rise or jump horizontally more than ten feet at most, just like an object thrown up, which will fall down when the strength is exhausted.

When he learned the little dragon's method of breathing in the air, a boosting force was formed in his body, allowing his body to continue to rise or move forward.

In this way, the distance of his Qinggong can be doubled.

Of course, the little dragon is gifted. There are special air sacs in its body that help it float in the river and in the sky. The structure of its meridians is also completely different from that of a human body, and the speed of breathing in the air is incredibly fast, which is enough to ensure that it can move sideways in the air repeatedly and will not fall even if it flies for several miles.

Huang Sixi could only breathe a few times before his body ran out of breath and he had to fall back to the ground.

After he mastered this set of light skills, he did not stay in the Temple of War God for long. He led the little dragon into the waterfall and rushed to Jingyan Palace.

He had previously opened a tunnel through the mountain in the Yanxiang Hall, the main hall of Jingyan Palace.

He went straight out of the mountain through the tunnel.

The mountain is five hundred feet high, and Jingyan Palace is buried halfway up the mountain.

Huang Sixi stood at the entrance of the cave, looking down at the tiny figure of Xianxian at the foot of the mountain, and told the little dragon, "Long'er, go down and tell Xian'er to climb up the mountain!"

The little dragon had no interest in crawling on the ground, so it dived directly into the air. Its body was like a whirlwind and quickly blew down the mountain.

When Kankan went up the mountain to meet Huang Sixi, the look of surprise on her pretty face was still there.

She couldn't help but sigh: "My dear, Long'er is becoming more and more like a real dragon. He can even fly in the clouds!"

Huang Sixi smiled and said, "It is just performing a unique Qinggong. It can't be considered flying in the clouds. It is just using its luck to ride the wind. It can only fly a few miles before running out of energy. It can't fly high either. It can barely climb over this mountain. There is no way it can reach the clouds in the sky."

"Being able to fly several miles away is already a miracle!" Kanan looked at the little dragon with respect in her eyes:

"My dear, you plan to show Long'er to the public. If it can only crawl on the ground, some people may suspect that it is a green snake disguised as a dragon. But if it can fly in the sky, then there will be no doubt about its reputation as a real dragon!"

Even a brave martial arts master like Kankan was shocked by the transformation of the little dragon.

If ordinary people saw the little magic dragon flying in the sky, they would probably be in awe and worship it like a god.

Huang Sixi also felt that the little demon dragon was becoming more and more useful. "The affairs of the capital are not over yet, I cannot stay in Qianligang forever, Xian'er, you come with me, and I will teach you the mechanical arrangement of this palace, and then I will set off to return to the capital!"

Just now, Kanan heard the sound of Huang Sixi's wandering in a trance, and she guessed that Huang Sixi had left the bottom of the river, but she didn't expect that Huang Sixi would appear on the mountainside.

She was curious about how Huang Sixi had quietly penetrated the strata and the mountain from the bottom of the river and opened up a cave here.

She looked forward and saw that the entrance of the cave was very deep and only wide enough for one person to pass through. She followed Huang Sixi and explored inside until they entered the main hall of Jingyan Palace. Then the environment suddenly became clear to her and she realized that there was a magnificent palace buried inside the mountain.

The mechanisms of the entire palace are arranged according to the orbits of the twenty-eight constellations.

Since the stars in the sky are always in motion, the method of opening the Jingyan Palace mechanism is not fixed. The opening sequence is different at different times.

As long as Kankan has mastered the method of controlling the mechanisms, when she encounters danger in the future, once she hides in Jingyan Palace, the mechanisms of the entire palace will be completely sealed. Without her unique sequence of opening the door, no one will be able to break the mechanisms.

If outsiders want to break into the palace, they can only use brute force to split the mountain and the palace apart.

However, the walls of Jingyan Palace were built with a solid material similar to marble, which could not be damaged by swords. Even if ordinary weapons were used to dig for several years, it might not be possible to open the palace.

The key is that Jingyan Palace is hidden inside the mountain. Just exploring the terrain and searching for the exact location of Jingyan Palace would probably take three to five years. So Huang Sixi left Jingyan Palace to Qianqian as a refuge. Qianqian's safety would be guaranteed, and he could leave without any worries.

That night, the two stayed overnight in Jingyan Palace.

The next day, Kanan reluctantly sent Huang Sixi away from Qianligang.

Huang Sixi did not return on horseback, but instead headed west along the Yangtze River.

Although the little dragon cannot carry Huang Sixi to fly, it can carry Huang Sixi to sail on the water.

With the swimming power of the little dragon after its transformation, it can easily travel a thousand miles a day, making it more convenient for Huang Sixi to travel by water.

When he passed through Jiangxia County, he entered the Han River, a tributary of the Yangtze River, and then headed northwest along the Han River. He arrived in Hanzhong in just one day.

At this time, there was no direct waterway to Chang'an, so Huang Sixi began to land and hurry on his way.

Counting from the time he and Kankan left Beijing, it took him less than half a month to go back and forth.

During this period, the Song clan firmly held Guanzhong and the capital, and no unexpected incidents occurred.

On that day when Huang Sixi and Song Que joined forces to capture the capital, the Li family's army was attacking Tongguan and Yongfengcang to the north of Tongguan. These two places were strategic locations. Once conquered, they would not only boost morale, but also control the throat of Guanzhong and march straight to Chang'an.

However, after Song Que stationed the reinforcement troops led by Song Zhi and Jie Wenlong in Tongguan and Yongfengcang, the Li clan could no longer advance westward, and the two armies began to confront each other.

Song Que stayed in the capital, busy planning the site of Jianglong Academy, and eagerly awaited Huang Sixi's return with the little magic dragon.

According to the gentleman's agreement between the two, Huang Sixi held a ceremony to recruit disciples in the academy after his return, and spread the news that Huang Sixi and the Little Demon Dragon were in charge of the Song clan throughout the world.

When the ceremony was over, news came from Tongguan that the Li clan's army had withdrawn across the Yellow River, which seemed to be a sign of retreat.

Huang Sixi also bid farewell to Song Que and set off for the Western Regions.

The abbot of Cihang Jingzhai, Fan Qinghui, accompanied him out of the city and headed north together.

This time, Fan Qinghui visited Chang'an to observe the Li family's attack on the capital.

As a result, she did not wait for the Li clan to arrive, but instead witnessed the Song clan's surprise attack from the sky, taking control of the capital without bloodshed.

This sudden change was unbelievable to Fan Qinghui, and he still feels it is unreal.

But the matter was done and there was nothing she could do. She stayed in the capital and waited and saw whether the Li clan could overcome the difficulties and drive the Song clan out of Guanzhong.

Who would have thought that after she had been watching for half a month, she would suddenly encounter an event that shocked the world even more than the Song clan's capture of the capital: Huang Sixi actually appeared in the world with a real dragon.

When she learned that Huang Sixi was leaving Beijing, she rushed to the outside of the city and waited for Huang Sixi to pass by.

She accompanied Huang Sixi on the journey and said, "When we exchanged the Cihang Sword Canon that day, if Mr. Huang had revealed that you had a real dragon, I would never have asked you to leave the capital, nor would I have expressed my support for the Li family to you!"

Of course, she would not tell Huang Sixi the whereabouts of the original volume of "The Devil's Strategy".

Huang Sixi heard her statement and asked her, "Are you ready to abandon the Li family and support the Song family?"

She shook her head slowly: "The Li Clan has settled in Guanzhong for generations, and their power is intertwined and will not be easily defeated. The Song Clan has the upper hand for a while, but they have no foundation in Guanzhong, and may not be able to laugh to the end. I will not support the Li Clan or the Song Clan now!"

She felt that the struggle between the Li and Song clans involved too many people, and that future competition would be very fierce. The two sides were evenly matched in strength, and it was very likely that the battle would turn into a bloodbath, but it would still be impossible to determine the winner.

This is not a good thing for Cihang Jingzhai, which aims to bring peace to the people.

In her heart, Fan Qinghui disagreed with the Song clan's sudden visit to the capital to cause trouble. She believed that the Song clan did not have the ability to pacify the world. The clan leader Song Que's extreme respect for the Han dynasty and rejection of foreign races alone would lead to collective resentment and hostility from the Guanzhong nobles.

From the Southern and Northern Dynasties to the present day, the Guanzhong nobles have always held power in the north. How could they tolerate a southern Han dynasty aristocrat like Song Que ascending to the supreme throne?

Even if Song Que relies on his tyrannical military force to subdue the Guanzhong nobles, rebellions will continue to break out in the future, and the people of the world will not have a chance to recuperate.

Fan Qinghui always believed that the Li clan was the best candidate to replace the Sui Dynasty, but Huang Sixi chose to stand on the side of the Song clan and brought a real dragon to help him. He relied entirely on his own strength to give the Song clan an overwhelming advantage over the Li clan.

In this case, Fan Qinghui had to consider letting Cihang Jingzhai join Huang Sixi and the Song family. After all, the purpose of her birth was to ensure peace and prosperity for the country and the people. She would support whoever had the greatest hope of ending the chaos.

She would never personally make the world's situation more chaotic.

However, Huang Sixi suddenly abandoned the affairs of the world and insisted on traveling to the Western Regions, which made Fan Qinghui worried again.

She asked Huang Sixi sincerely: "Since you, Mr. Huang, support the Song clan, why don't you support them to the end and directly help them conquer the world, but instead go to the Western Regions at this critical moment?

If you were looking for Xi Ying to find the original volume of "Heavenly Demon Strategy", you could have delayed going for a few years. Could it be that in Mr. Huang's heart, the lives of the people in the world are not as important as a martial arts skill?"

Huang Sixi glanced at her and asked, "At present, the Li clan has withdrawn its troops. Do you think they will give up their ambition to fight for the world and submit to the Song clan?"

Fan Qinghui replied solemnly: "They won't. Instead, they will invite foreign aid, recruit experts from inside and outside the region, and come back to fight the Song clan in Guanzhong!"

Huang Sixi asked again: "Who is the foreign player that the Li family is most likely to invite?"

Fan Qinghui thought to himself that the Li clan would never invite the nearby rebel forces such as Dou Jiande and Li Mi. These rebel forces would only watch the fight between the Li clan and the Song clan coldly.

The only possible potential ally of the Li clan is the Turks. Currently, only the Turks have the military strength to destroy the Song clan, and there is no conflict of power and interests between them and the Li clan.

Huang Sixi saw that she remained silent, so he revealed to her: "I am traveling to the Western Regions for two reasons: first, to find Xi Ying, and second, to resolve the threat from the Turks and completely cut off the possibility of the Turks and the Li Clan joining forces!"

Fan Qinghui looked suspicious: "How can you defeat hundreds of thousands of Turkic cavalry alone?"

She glanced at the little dragon swimming in the nearby Wei River, and gave a serious warning: "If you let this real dragon go with you, if it is lost to the Turks, your reputation and that of the Song clan in pacifying the world will probably be severely damaged and weakened."

Huang Sixi said, "The problem is that if I stay in the capital and don't go anywhere, then within a few months, the Turks may invade the south in large numbers. Whether we defeat the Turks or not, the people in the north will be displaced."

After hearing this, Fan Qinghui knew that Huang Sixi had to go to the Turks.

She pondered for a long time, and suddenly supported Huang Sixi to some extent: "I will send out a heroic invitation to invite all the upright people in the world to join us and rush to the northern border together, but we will not follow you, Mr. Huang, to the Turks. We will only be stationed at the border. If you alone cannot disintegrate the Turks' attempt to invade the south, we will intercept the Turkic troops at the border!"

She would organize righteous masters to build a line of defense at the border to fill in the gaps in Huang Sixi's trip to the Turks.

Huang Sixi smiled approvingly at her: "With the master guarding the border, I have nothing to worry about and can do whatever I want in Turkic!"
