"By imperial decree, from this day forth, Northern Mang shall support Taoism and suppress Buddhism!"
"All monks within the territory must remove their robes and return to secular life, or they will be killed on the spot!"
"As ordered."
Tuoba Bodhisattva agreed, turned and left, and then relayed the orders down through the ranks.
A massive anti-Buddhist storm swept through Northern Mang.
Meanwhile, in Tai'an City, Liyang.
Zhao Chun, his face grim, slammed the secret report onto the table without uttering a word.
Celestial beings?!
A genius has emerged from Northern Liang!
Right under his nose, such a figure was born in Northern Liang!
He was already extremely wary of Xu Xiao and Bei Liang, and now with the addition of a Celestial Being, he was naturally furious.
"Show us the truth, by any means necessary!"
"I want to know who it is!"
Recalling the White-Clad Case in the capital, several celestial beings joined forces to besiege Wu Su, the then-Princess of the Northern Liang Kingdom.
On the one hand, it was to cut off Xu Xiao's lineage so that the court would no longer worry about the existence of the hereditary Northern Liang King;
On the other hand, it is necessary to eliminate all the top experts around Xu Xiao.
That day, a woman dressed in white, wielding the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow, fought her way out of the palace and out of Tai'an City.
That scene is still deeply imprinted in Zhao Chun's mind!
It was after that incident that he ordered Han Shengxuan to thoroughly eliminate those martial arts figures who might become celestial beings in recent years.
The purpose is precisely to prevent similar incidents from happening again.
Although a celestial being cannot defeat ten thousand men single-handedly, assassinating a monarch is an easy task. Cao Changqing once infiltrated the palace silently, coming and going as he pleased.
The mere mention of Cao Guanzi was an indelible shame in his heart!
If it weren't for Han Shengxuan and that hidden figure in the palace who couldn't show himself, he probably would have lost his life long ago.
Now that a celestial being has suddenly appeared in Northern Liang, Zhao Chun finds himself unable to sleep at night.
The entire Jianghu of Liyang was shocked.
They couldn't even remember the last time a new celestial being had appeared!
Since Xu Xiao pacified the martial world, whenever someone showed the slightest sign of breaking through to the level of a celestial being, the human cat would personally take action to kill them.
Under such high pressure, no one in the Liyang Jianghu has been able to reach the realm of the celestial beings for many years.
This time, someone actually broke through all obstacles and successfully advanced—this courage and ability are truly astonishing.
A violent storm is approaching. Can that master who has reached the realm of celestial beings withstand it?
On the shore of the East Sea, there is a place called Wudi City.
This is the only territory within the Liyang Dynasty that is beyond the jurisdiction of the imperial court. Even the emperor himself cannot interfere in the affairs of this place.
It's simply because this place is called Emperor Wu's City.
Its owner is known as the second best in the world!
Back when Xu Xiao swept through the martial arts world, he didn't dare to make any rash moves against Wudi City.
This is the source of Wang Xianzhi's power.
The burly Wang Xianzhi stood with his hands behind his back, gazing towards the direction of Beiliang, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
Someone in Northern Liang has actually ascended to the level of a Celestial Being?
He suddenly remembered the old man who had challenged him not long ago, the one who had lost a front tooth, and who had brought a sword case.
That person also seems to be from Northern Liang?
His swordsmanship was so superb that even he had to take it seriously, using nine-tenths of his strength to break through the opponent's exquisite sword moves and kill him.
His gaze fell on the longswords beside the sword case.
First, a master swordsman like Jian Jiuhuang emerged, a powerful expert at the Celestial Realm.
Now another celestial being has appeared.
Is the Northern Liang region now enjoying such a prosperous fortune?
Meanwhile, in the city of Beiliang.
Footsteps sounded outside, and the Xu siblings came forward with joyful faces to congratulate the two.
"Brother Fahai, you've already reached the ninth-rank Grandmaster level?"
"And Miss Nangong, she directly became a celestial being!"
"You two are cultivating at an astonishing speed! How are we supposed to survive?!"
Xu Fengnian joked, but he was actually overjoyed.
Xu Weixiong stared at the young couple before him, feeling dazed.
To reach such a level at such a young age is probably unparalleled in the world. Fahai was only fifteen years old when he became a ninth-rank Grandmaster; Nangong Pushe was not yet twenty when he reached the Celestial Realm and stood at the pinnacle of the martial arts world.
He accomplished a goal that countless people in the martial arts world could only dream of in their entire lives.
If this gets out, it will shock countless people.
"Little Master Fahai, what should we do next?"
Xu Weixiong looked at Fahai and asked.
Fahai smiled slightly: "Now that Nangong has advanced to the Celestial Realm and I have reached the Ninth Rank Grandmaster level, it is time for me to leave."
"leave?"
Chapter 175 Entering the Palace to Kill the 'Human Cat'
Xu Fengnian was somewhat displeased upon hearing this.
"You're leaving after only a few days in Beiliang?"
"At least let me treat you a little."
Fahai shook his head: "Revenge is more important, I can't wait."
"revenge?"
Xu Fengnian was taken aback.
“That’s right, it’s time to go to the palace and kill the ‘human-cat’.”
"You think I was just saying that day?"
"If I say I want his life, I will definitely take it!"
Fahai and Minister Nangong exchanged a smile, then left hand in hand, their steps firm and graceful as they went.
Xu Fengnian watched their retreating figures, a hint of envy in his eyes.
If I had such strength, could I also break into the palace and the Imperial Observatory to avenge my mother's fatal arrow wound?
Does this also mean that we can set foot in Wudi City and retrieve Lao Huang's sword?
As the two figures gradually disappeared into the distance, Xu Fengnian's eyes slowly hardened.
Since we've decided to take this path, let's keep going.
Xu Weixiong, on the other hand, sighed softly, with a hint of regret.
Unfortunately, Minister Nangong and Fahai stayed at the Northern Liang royal palace for too short a time.
We haven't had the chance to recruit them yet.
It seems this matter can't be rushed; we can only plan it slowly.
However, since Xiao Nian and Fahai have a past relationship, this matter is not entirely hopeless.
Just then, Xu Xiao appeared behind them without them even noticing.
"father?"
"Ah."
"How many chances do you think they have of succeeding in their attempt to enter the palace this time?"
Xu Xiao shook his head: "The imperial palace in Tai'an City is not as peaceful as it seems on the surface."
"Have you ever wondered why Cao Changqing, despite being able to enter the palace three times, never took Zhao Chun's life?"
"Even if they can kill the man-cat, whether they can leave Liyang alive is still unknown."
"The one sitting on the throne now is ruthless, no less so than his father."
Xu Xiao knew Zhao Chun all too well. He knew that Zhao Chun would never tolerate anyone who challenged imperial authority! Not even a celestial being!
Fahai and Minister Nangong left Beiling and headed straight for Tai'an City! The entire Liyang was immediately shaken!
Fahai's every move was already being closely watched by countless eyes.
Within the territory of Beiliang, it was Xu Xiao's domain, and no one dared to make a move.
But once you step out of Beiliang, you enter the world of Liyang.
Countless secret agents sprang into action upon hearing the news, following closely behind.
But Fahai didn't care at all.
Even if the whole world knows he's going to kill Han Shengxuan, so what?
What needs to be done must eventually be done!
What else could Fahai be going to Tai'an City for?
