Supreme Golden Palace

Chapter 112 Backer (Part )

Boom!Boom!Boom!
The newly formed, exquisite heart with seven orifices beat within Lü Shang's chest, its beat like a drum, steady and powerful. The sound resonated within his internal organs, dispersing and transforming into Qi, which circulated throughout his body. After the seven orifices were forged, Lü Shang felt a sudden clarity of mind, and the subtleties of heaven and earth, the principles of all things, all became suddenly clear to him.

He stood up and left the tent. He looked out, the mountains, rivers, and peaks all taking in his view. He closed his eyes and listened, the sound of the wind and the cry of cranes all entering his mind. His mind was now clear, and he could see the beauty of the mountains and rivers, and observe the growth and decline of plants. His past confusions vanished, his mind soared, and the path ahead became clearer.

Lu Shang was immersed in this wonderful state, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.

Zheng!
After regaining his composure, Lu Shang pressed his five fingers together, condensing his aura into substance. Using his hand as a blade, he fiercely slashed at the void before him. A chilling aura roared out, ripples forming in the air wherever it passed.

The sword energy was everywhere, murderous intent was awe-inspiring, and it was trying to destroy the divine will. A faint groan came from somewhere in the void.

"How dare you, a scoundrel, spy on our army camp? Behead me!"

Lu Shang's eyes turned cold, and after striking out with his sword, he didn't stop there. His eyes gleamed with a sharp gleam, and his aura rose again. The divine energy within him surged like a raging river, and he struck out with another heavy sword strike.

The second knife strike was sharp and slashed towards the source of the groan.

The sword struck without a sound. Lu Shang frowned, tapped his feet lightly, and swiftly reached his hiding place in a few steps.

"gone?"

Lu Shang glanced around with a serious expression.

"General Lu, what are you doing?"

Zuo Tiancheng, who rushed over after hearing the news, saw Lu Shang's gloomy face and asked.

Lu Shang raised his eyes to look at Zuo Tiancheng and said, "Someone just now was spying on our camp. I discovered him and he was stabbed twice by me. He escaped with serious injuries."

Zuo Tiancheng's face darkened upon hearing this. He said, "How dare this scoundrel act so presumptuously right under our noses? General Lu, I will gather all my men and dig deep into the ground to find this cunning fellow."

Lu Shang raised his hand and said, "No need to summon troops. This man has magical powers. After I scared him away, he won't show up easily in the short term."

"Spell?"

Zuo Tiancheng suddenly realized and snorted coldly, "So it's a demon who's causing trouble. This demon, relying on his magic, actually dares to cause trouble in my camp. He's really very bold. He'd better not fall into my hands, otherwise I'll show you how I'll deal with him."

Lu Shang pondered for a moment and said softly, "This person's technique of concealing his breath and appearance is extremely sophisticated. It is difficult for those below the level of Earthly Immortals to detect his movements. If it weren't for my improved cultivation, I would also find it difficult to find his whereabouts."

"This person is not simple!"

If Lu Shang had not cultivated a mind with seven orifices and his mind was far superior to before, even he would have found it difficult to detect this person's whereabouts.

Although Lu Shang is very powerful and can almost be compared with the level of earthly immortals, he is not a true martial arts immortal after all. There is still a slight flaw between him and a true martial arts immortal.

It was precisely this minor flaw that prevented Lu Shang from discovering his whereabouts at the first time.

Lu Shang pondered for a moment and whispered, "This man's magic is extraordinary. He's able to hide in the military camp. It's truly remarkable!"

This was the first cultivator below the level of Earthly Immortal that Lu Shang had seen since his northern expedition.

You must know that although the "Law of Female Justice" only prohibits practitioners above the level of Earthly Immortals from interfering in human wars.

However, if practitioners below the level of Earthly Immortals feel that there is no hope for immortality and want to enjoy the wealth and glory of the human world, they can also participate in human wars.

However, cultivators who haven't attained Earthly Immortal status merely cultivate their essence, refine their qi, concentrate their spirit, harmonize the dragon and tiger, and draw upon the Kan and fill the Li. Even if they possess magical skills, their bodies are weak and, if a warrior gets close, they'll instantly die. Therefore, unless they're skilled in both magic and martial arts, cultivators below Earthly Immortal status are rarely seen on the battlefield.

Of course, this is only rare at this time.

The so-called "Shuo Tang" is actually divided into three parts. The first part is "Prequel", which tells the story of Qin Yi entrusting his son to the care of others, Emperor Wen of Sui conquering Chen, Li Yuan of Tang defeating other heroes, and Li Shimin ascending the throne.

The second part is "The Sequel", which tells the story of Luo Tong's northern expedition and Xue Rengui's eastern expedition. The last part, "The Third Biography", tells the story of Xue Dingshan's western expedition.

The heroine Fan Lihua in "Three Legends" can be said to be the top figure under the earthly immortals. She is a disciple of the Old Mother of Mount Li and has the magic power to move mountains and seas and turn beans into soldiers.

Although she is not an earthly immortal, she has the ability to move mountains and seas. One can imagine how capable Fan Lihua is.

Zuo Tiancheng frowned and suddenly said, "General Lu, do you think this demon is coming for the old thousand-year-old?"

"I just received a message from Shuozhou that the old prince has already assembled his troops and left Shuozhou, and will arrive at Baidaochuan soon. If they are coming for the old prince, then is this demon trying to assassinate him?"

Lu Shang hesitated for a moment and said, "Assassination?"

"The old man is the God of War of the Great Sui Dynasty. How dare a mere scoundrel touch his tiger's beard?"

Others don't know Yang Lin's martial arts skills, but Lu Shang and Zuo Tiancheng are both aware of the power of this King of Backers.

Yang Lin was an expert in the use of the Water and Fire Dragon Prison Stick. He was very skilled in the battlefield and rarely met an opponent. How could ordinary villains dare to offend him?

Zuo Tiancheng shook his head, a look of worry on his face, and said, "That being said, we should be prepared for the worst. If that demon can sneak into our camp, there's no guarantee he can sneak into the old thousand year old's army. The old thousand year old may be highly skilled in martial arts, but it's easy to dodge an open spear, but it's hard to guard against an arrow from the dark. If anything goes wrong with the old thousand year old, even if I slaughter all of Datou's men, I won't be able to assuage my hatred."

As expected of him being the reincarnation of the Blood Star Lord, he was truly murderous, Lu Shang secretly exclaimed in amazement.

Lu Shang patted Zuo Tiancheng on the shoulder, comforting him and saying, "General Zuo, don't panic. That demon took two blows from me. Even if he doesn't die, he's already been severely injured. It's unlikely that he'll cause any trouble in the short term. Everything will be decided after King Kaoshan arrives."

"That's all it can do,"

Zuo Tiancheng nodded in response.

Watching Zuo Tiancheng's retreating figure, Lu Shang murmured to himself, "If this demon really comes for the old thousand-year-old, then he'll be really disturbing the Tai Sui."

Since Zuo Tiancheng led his troops to support Baidaochuan, Datou launched several military campaigns but was defeated by Zuo Tiancheng every time.

Perhaps Datou was frustrated and angry after a series of setbacks, so he wanted to turn the situation around by assassinating the Sui army general.

However, Yang Lin, Lu Shang and Zuo Tiancheng, whom Datou faced, were not easy to deal with.

Putting aside Yang Lin and Zuo Tiancheng, the reincarnations of gods from the upper realm, Lü Shang, who is almost a martial arts immortal, cannot be dealt with by any tricks.

Just as Lu Shang was pondering the motives of this demon lurking in the Sui army camp, a large army was slowly marching towards Baidaochuan on the Yinshan Mountain Road.

King Kaoshan Yang Lin wears a golden crown and a general's robe. He has a tall and strong figure, a strong physique, bright tiger eyes, and a natural majesty. He rides a one-horned green-maned beast.

The green-maned beast has four strong legs, as hard as iron pillars, and its hooves are as big as bowls, and the earth trembles when it steps on them.
