One Qi Chaoyang

Chapter 95 94: Threat

Ma Sanhu is the head of the Tiandu Mountain Inspection Office and a cultivator in the Purple Mansion Realm.

All we know is that he was a swordsman in his early years, but no one is very clear whether he is good or evil. After all, people who travel the world have all kinds of reasons for killing people and doing things.

However, since he came to Tiandu Mountain, he has not acted in a shady way. If you say he is harsh, that is not entirely true. Some people think that although he looks fierce, when they see something bad happening in the mountains, he only gives verbal warnings.

Tiandu Mountain is a place for spiritual practice in the world. In everyone's mind, it is a place for preaching and teaching. Although its disciples are scattered everywhere, because the mountain itself does not interfere in worldly affairs, the high-level cultivators in the mountain are not well-known in the world.

However, that was limited to ordinary cultivators who did not know, but high-ranking cultivators like the King of Zhennan naturally knew the name of Ma Sanhu, one of the four courtyards of Tiandu Mountain.

The King of Zhennan is named Lan Shaoxun, a middle-aged man who looks very noble.

It has been forty-three years since he took over as King of Zhennan. He has worshipped the Red Flame God, practiced magic and cultivated the Tao, and cultivated a body of fiery energy.

However, compared to others, the fiery aura on him seemed warm.

But if you look closely, you will find that there seems to be magma in his body, which seems to be ready to burst out at any time.

The greater the difference between inside and outside, the more terrifying it is.

He sat there without moving, holding a teacup in his hand. After Ma Sanhu paid his respects, he put down the cup and said, "The head of the Tiandu Mountain Inspection Office has come to Zhennan Pass for inspection?"

His tone was not good. After all, in his opinion, Tiandu Mountain's taking over Daoziyuan was a naked invasion of his sphere of influence.

Although the disciples of Tiandu Mountain are only teaching there now, they have not told him that Tiandu Mountain has always only taught the Dharma within the mountains, but this time they sent people outside to cooperate with the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

This is unfriendly to the King of Zhennan.

Because in the Zhennan Palace, generations have been worried and wary that the royal family of the Great Zhou might not abide by the contract of that year.

Therefore, he was extremely sensitive to the actions of the Zhou royal family.

"Tiandu Mountain's disciples are all over the world, so the Tiandu Mountain Inspection Office will naturally check whether they have done anything that violates the mountain's rules." Ma Sanhu said.

"Tiandu Mountain is very nosy. You came to me today to see if I have violated any of the mountain rules of Tiandu Mountain?" asked King Lan Shaoxun of Zhennan coldly.

There was only a maid by his side, serving him tea, and he had no guards at all, which showed that he was extremely confident in his own cultivation.

In his heart, it was because he was in charge that the King of Zhennan came into being, not because he was protected by them.

"I came here not for an inspection, but to tell Your Highness one thing. Meng Yanhu of the Fenhe Meng family killed my disciples from Tiandu Mountain without authorization. He also killed the inspector of Guangyuan Prefecture. I wonder how Your Highness thinks we should deal with him?" Ma Sanhu said very directly, without any beating around the bush.

"I heard that a disciple from your Tiandu Mountain committed adultery with Meng Yanhu's concubine. With such a character, he deserves to be put to death. Is this how you teach the Dharma at Tiandu Mountain? I didn't go looking for you, but you came to me instead, haha..."

"A mere Meng Yanhu from Fenhe cannot kill the foundation-building disciples of Tiandu Mountain. Moreover, this Meng Yanhu also killed the concubine. There is no evidence. Can I say that all this is a trap?" Ma Sanhu spoke slowly.

The tone he used when he first came in has not changed until now.

No matter whether the Prince of Zhennan was sitting there rudely, drinking tea while he was paying his respects, or speaking afterwards without asking him to sit down, his tone and expression did not change.

It seems like all emotions can be suppressed in one's heart, and even more like all emotions can be suppressed in one's scabbard.

"So, what does Tiandu Mountain want?" The King of Zhennan also asked the question that he wanted to ask directly. "Tiandu Mountain has always been founded on the idea of teaching and imparting the Dharma. Even though it has changed due to some reasons, Tiandu Mountain has never thought of excluding anyone from the path of cultivation." Ma Sanhu said.

"I can't believe your Tiandu Mountain based on your one-sided statement." said the Prince of Zhennan.

"Whether you believe it or not, Your Majesty, you can make your own decision. But Tiandu Mountain must keep its word. Meng Yanhu must be severely punished for killing a disciple of Tiandu Mountain without authorization." Ma Sanhu said.

"What if I say no?" Zhennan King Lan Shaoxun asked coldly.

"The title of the King of Zhennan has been passed down for a long time, and Your Majesty would not want to decline just like that. I know that your Lan family has unique ways of training the Red Flame Taoist Soldiers, but you must remember that Tiandu Mountain has been passed down for thousands of years, and it is not just about teaching and educating people."

Ma Sanhu's voice was still unhurried, but his words were so harsh, and the threat was expressed in a calm tone, as if he was stating a fact.

"How dare you threaten me!" The Prince of Zhennan pushed the teacup in his hand, and it fell to the ground with a bang. The crisp sound seemed to have alarmed the entire palace and the entire Zhennan Pass.

The three thousand Red Flame Taoist soldiers inside the pass seemed to sense some kind of will, and red flames surged from their bodies.

Even those who were not on duty were startled and the entire Guanzhong area was filled with flames. All the buildings and the reliefs on them were ablaze.

"exist!"

Suddenly, countless people shouted this voice in unison.

The entire Zhennan Pass seemed to be on fire at this moment. Even the maid standing next to her who was serving tea had flames in her eyes, and her mouth was wide open with a look of rage.

At this moment, Ma Sanhu felt a huge pressure coming down from the dark void, with an intense burning sensation, as if a huge red-hot iron was pressing on his heart.

Ma Sanhu's clothes moved without wind, and a ball of golden light surged from his body. In the golden light, the sword on his back was shaking violently, as if it would be unsheathed at any time.

But Ma Sanhu's expression remained unchanged, and he still looked at Zhennan King Lan Shaoxun with ferocity.

He just said slowly, "My Lord, please don't make the mistake."

The Prince of Zhennan sits in Zhennan Pass, and his family heritage continues. Although there have been twists and turns within the family, he has received education since childhood. The Prince of Zhennan’s Mansion, Zhennan Mausoleum, has its own pride.

At this moment, he felt a cloud suddenly appear in the sky, a dark cloud rolling up, and in a moment, the sky seemed to be covered by something, and the world was dark.

Then the wind started to blow.

The wind blew into Zhennan Pass, and with the wind came rain.

The rain was light at first, but in a short moment it turned into a heavy downpour.

The heavy rain seemed to extinguish all the anger in Zhennan Pass. The anger mixed with water vapor to form mist, which enveloped the entire Zhennan Pass.

"Snapped!"

There was a loud thunder and lightning tore through the void, landing on the plaque of the Zhennan Palace. The plaque instantly shattered into wood chips and fell to the ground.

Lan Shaoxun's face changed drastically, becoming extremely ugly, but he didn't dare to utter another word.
