Starting from the imperial palace guards, his clones spread all over the world.

Chapter 290: Decisive Battle at Loess Hill

The sudden incident on the ship immediately caused chaos among the officers and soldiers on board.

A large number of people ran back and forth, trying to block the hole.

As a large amount of drinking water was poured into the cabin of the building ship, the speed of the building ship slowed down significantly and even tilted.

The boat Liang Jin was on easily caught up with the tower ship and overtook it.

When the two ships passed each other.

Everyone also saw Zhao Xiling standing on the upper floor, holding the railing with one hand and pointing at Liang Jin with the other, cursing:

"Asshole! How dare you attack my ship?!"

"I'm going to chop off your head!"

"Even if you have nine heads, I can't save you!"

The group's small boat quickly passed the building ship and sailed away ahead with the wind.

Liang Jin sat at the bow of the boat, continuing to play the piano leisurely.

The rest of the people couldn't help but gather at the stern, watching from afar the ship that was slowly tilting and sinking bit by bit.

I'm afraid it won't be long before the princess really has no place to stand.

Jiang Lengxue couldn't help but sigh:

"It's over..."

"If anything happens to the princess, we'll probably be hunted down by the imperial court."

She looked worried, her brows furrowed.

Instead, Lu Qiannan on the side snorted coldly and said:

"What are you afraid of!"

"My Taiping Dao has a hundred thousand followers. If the princess wants to seek revenge, she'll have to think twice!"

Lu Qiannan didn't want to offend the princess.

But since Liang Jin has already taken action, she naturally stands on Liang Jin's side without hesitation.

For a while.

Jiang Lengxue just felt that Lu Qiannan was too young and didn't understand that imperial power could easily oppress others.

But Lu Qiannan just felt that Jiang Lengxue was too timid and didn't dare to risk his life to fight back.

This makes both parties feel that it is difficult to communicate with each other and they are unwilling to continue the conversation with each other.

Liang Jin sat alone at the bow of the boat, playing the piano leisurely.

The ship also went upstream with the wind and headed towards Qingzhou City.

…………

Qingzhou City.

Early in the morning, a large number of warriors had gathered outside the city.

Over the past few days, the news that Wang Daizhen, the leader of the Senluo Sect, was going to have a decisive battle with the Great Sage Master of the Taiping Dao had spread throughout the Qingzhou martial arts world.

For this reason, many martial arts sects sent disciples from far away to observe.

After all, an open duel between fourth-grade warriors, especially a life-and-death battle, is extremely rare.

The reputation of Wang Daizhen, the leader of the Senluo Sect, is not only known throughout Qingzhou, but is also widely known in other provinces.

The great and virtuous master of the Taiping Dao, who used talisman water to treat diseases after the outbreak of the plague, also became famous.

Therefore, this decisive battle became the focus of the entire Qingzhou for a while.

So much so that as soon as the sun rose, there were already crowds of people outside Qingzhou City.

In addition to warriors, there are even many ordinary people among them.

The vendors selling peanuts, melon seeds and small stools have already started to do small business among the crowd.

"Look!"

"Look, it's the people from Senluo Sect coming!"

As someone shouted, everyone turned to look.

Sure enough, I saw a group of mighty disciples of the Senluo Sect slowly walking out of the city gate.

They had obviously come early to clean up the place.

The disciples of Senluo Sect came to the loess hill outside the city and stood there, forbidding anyone to approach.

Huangtugang is also a slope outside the city.

The terrain here is open and the view is broad, making it a good place for a duel.

Time passed slowly.

In the blink of an eye, the sun had risen to the top of the sky.

It's noon.

Everyone was even getting a little impatient waiting.

We agreed to duel today, why haven’t the protagonists from both sides appeared yet?

This also caused people to discuss:

"What's going on? How come there's no sign of either Sect Leader Wang or the Great Sage Master?"

"Exactly. Could it be that their duel has been rescheduled? That doesn't make sense. The Senluo Sect's disciples have already cleared the area."

"You don't understand this, do you?! The order of appearance in this decisive battle is also very particular. The first to arrive is the challenger, and the last to arrive is the challenged. If Sect Leader Wang doesn't show up, the Great Sage Master will definitely not show up either."

"But I've heard that those who arrive first are often less important, while those who arrive later are more important. Sect Leader Wang and the Senluo Sect have been famous in Qingzhou for decades, so they should be veterans. And the Great Sage Master has only just emerged, so he's considered a junior. How can a junior make the seniors wait?"

"That's not entirely true. Anyway, you can just view it as a secret contest between the two sides."

……

Everyone discussed for a long time but couldn't come to a conclusion.

Just when everyone was feeling restless and irritable.

"Qiang!!!"

Suddenly, there was a clear sound of a sword, echoing through the sky.

After hearing the sound of the sword, many warriors present were moved.

This iconic sound of the sword is extremely familiar to anyone who has been in the Qingzhou martial arts world for many years!

Because it often indicates that Wang Dai, the leader of Senluo Sect, is really going to appear!
really!

Only a clear whistle was heard throughout the venue:
"Qingzhou's brave swordsmanship is unrivaled, who will be the champion when Dai Zhen appears?"

This clear whistle echoed in the sky continuously for a long time.

Everyone felt a vibration in their ears, and the clear whistle seemed to be able to penetrate their ears and be imprinted in everyone's mind.

Everyone subconsciously turned their heads and looked in the direction where the whistle came from.

I saw.

On the top of a towering tower on the city wall, a figure stood with a sword on his back.

This person had a calm face, deep eyes, and wore a loose blue-white robe.

He held an ancient long sword in one hand and put the sword behind his back.

Seeing this figure standing on the city wall, everyone couldn't help but get excited:
"It's Wang Daizhen, the 'Lone Shadow Sword'! He's the headmaster of the Senluo Sect!"

"He's finally here! The legendary 'Lone Shadow Sword' Wang Daizhen is aloof and arrogant, and his reputation is well-deserved. As soon as he appears, he will stand at the highest point in everyone's sight!"

"Master Wang is usually a mysterious figure, but today we can finally catch a glimpse of Qingzhou's number one swordsman!"

……

Just when everyone couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

I saw the figure on the city wall moving.

He raised his hand and thrust his sword forward.

Then, the whole person followed the direction of the sword and flew down towards the front of the city wall, just like a figure in the clouds or a white crane soaring in the sky.

This light skill is the "Spirit Crane Step" of the Senluo Sect.

Even when a person is in mid-air with nowhere to gain leverage, once the "Spirit Crane Step" is performed, it is like giving a person a pair of wings to change direction.

And it is obvious that Wang Daizhen has cultivated the "Spirit Crane Step" to perfection.

Not only does it fly extremely fast, but it is also very graceful and elegant with a graceful posture.

Wang Daizhen glided down from the city wall and was about to land on the loess hill.

The disciples of Senluo Sect have already started:
"Lay out the carpet!"

I saw several disciples of Senluo Sect picked up a roll of carpet and threw it up suddenly.

A luxurious and valuable wool carpet immediately fell on the highest point of the loess hill.

As the carpet was just laid, Wang Daizhen landed steadily on it.

He sat cross-legged on the ground, and his sharp sword fell from the air and stabbed right in front of him.

Such a handsome appearance.

Naturally, everyone cheered!

at this time.

Suddenly someone else exclaimed:

"Look!"

"It's the people from Guiyi Sect who are here!"

"Oh my god! Guiyi Sect's leader, Di Moyu, is here in person!"

When everyone heard this, they all looked in the other direction.

really.

I saw a team of carriages coming galloping towards me.

The flag flying on the carriage was the Guiyi Sect’s flag.

There are a large number of disciples in the Guiyi Sect, at least one or two hundred.

Their carriage also seemed to be carrying some heavy objects.

When the disciples of Guiyi Sect arrived near the scene, they immediately took the heavy objects off the carriage.

Those turned out to be some daily necessities.

Tables, chairs, benches, tea cups, silver pots, incense burners, feather fans, screens and curtains, etc.

The disciples of Guiyi Sect arranged the items one by one, making the scene look like an exquisite private room.

Di Moyu, the leader of Guiyi Sect, strode into the box and sat down at the table.

He sniffed the aroma from the incense burner while tasting the fragrant tea brewed in the silver pot.

The appearance of Guiyi Sect also made the warriors feel that there was something interesting to watch:

"I heard that Senluo Sect and Guiyi Sect have always been at odds with each other. What do you think is the plan of Guiyi Sect's leader Di Moyu appearing here?"

"What else could it be? Of course, it's a case of the fisherman profiting from the conflict between the snipe and the clam. When Wang Daizhen of the Senluo Sect and the Great Sage of the Taiping Dao are both badly injured, he will strike and eliminate both of them, thus allowing the Guiyi Sect to become the overlord of Qingzhou!"

"The Guiyi Sect has a really good plan, but I wonder if the Senluo Sect and the Taiping Dao have any countermeasures?"

……

While everyone was discussing.

Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves was heard again.

Everyone turned their heads and saw a group of riders galloping out from the city gate.

After seeing the appearance of this team of riders clearly, the warriors were so shocked that they subconsciously took a step back.

This team of riders were all wearing black uniforms, and they were actually from the Six Gates!

As the eagles of the court, the Six Gates are responsible for managing the affairs of the martial arts world and handling cases involving martial artists.

They have extremely high authority in the martial arts world.

The team of riders quickly came to the edge of the loess hill and then stopped.

A middle-aged man got off his horse first, and his subordinates immediately brought him a chair.

The middle-aged man sat on the chair with his legs spread out.

Although he was just sitting quietly, his aura was extremely solemn and majestic.

Especially the golden eagle embroidered on his black uniform was extremely eye-catching under the sun.

When the warriors saw this person, they were all very surprised:

"He's actually wearing the uniform of the Six Gates Commander. Could he be the new Commander of the Qingzhou Six Gates?"

"After the previous Commander Qi died, I heard that a master named Liang Qizhi would be transferred from Dongzhou to serve as the new commander of the Six Gates of Qingzhou. It seems that he will be the one!"

"When did Commander Liang arrive in Qingzhou? Why is there no news at all? If he hadn't shown up today, I would have thought the position of Commander of the Six Gates of Qingzhou was still vacant."

"It seems that these six gates are here to maintain order and restrain the various parties. Taiping Dao and Senluo Sect have a grudge, and Senluo Sect and Guiyi Sect have a grudge. This duel is very likely to trigger a war between multiple parties, and only the six gates can calm the situation."

……

Everyone's attention was attracted by the Six Gates.

suddenly.

I saw two teams of people walking down from Shenlu Peak.

One of the teams, wearing yellow scarves and yellow clothes, turned out to be members of the Taiping Dao.

The other team, wearing red and white uniforms and holding swords as weapons, turned out to be members of the Red Fire Sword Sect.

The appearance of these two teams immediately caused the whole place to be noisy again:
"The Taiping Daoists are here! Could it be that the Great Sage Master has finally arrived? Now the two duelists are complete, and the show is about to begin!"

"Huh? Isn't that the Red Fire Sword Sect? Why are they mixed up with the Taiping Dao?"

"You don't understand this, do you? The former leader of the Scarlet Fire Sword Sect has passed away. Before his death, he passed the position of leader to the Great Sage Master."

"Is this true? No matter how many times the position of the leader of the Scarlet Fire Sword Sect is passed down, it shouldn't be passed to the Great Sage Master! If that's the case, then wouldn't the Great Sage Master be in charge of both the Taiping Dao and the Scarlet Fire Sword Sect?"

……

Everyone was shocked and confused, searching for the Great Sage Master among the people from Taiping Dao and Chihuo Sword Sect.

Many people have not yet seen the Great Sage Teacher in person, so they are particularly looking forward to it.

however.

They were quickly disappointed.

Countless eyes searched the two teams, but there was no sign of the Great Sage Master.

Even the disciples of Senluo Sect could not help but question loudly:
"Where is the great and virtuous teacher of your way?"

"The head of my sect is already waiting here, why hasn't the Great Sage Master appeared yet?!"

face questioning.

Zhang You, the chief priest of the Taiping Dao, answered in a high voice:

"The Great and Good Master's whereabouts are so mysterious, how can a mortal be able to glimpse them?"

"When the time comes, the great and wise teacher will appear."

"With us here, your sect has nothing to worry about. Just wait patiently."

This answer made the disciples of Senluo Sect very dissatisfied.

Only Wang Daizhen was still sitting cross-legged on the loess hill, with his eyes closed and not saying a word, as if he had entered a state of meditation.

Under the sunlight, everyone could only wait patiently.

suddenly!

A burst of piano music floated from the Xuan River...
