Jiang Ni decisively pulled away from Yu Tian's embrace.
"Then do you understand why I left a sword inside your body?"
Rainy Day asked with a smile.
Wang Chonglou gazed at the rainy sky, pondered for a moment, and then shook his head.
"Sir, Wudang Mountain seems to have no grudge against you. I really can't understand why you would leave such a sword in my body."
Wang Chonglou smiled wryly.
"You want to revitalize Wudang Mountain, but now the state religion of Liyang is Longhu Mountain, because an ancestor of the Liyang royal family is a Taoist priest on Longhu Mountain."
"So if you want to revitalize Wudang Mountain, then you can only cooperate with Beiliang, because in this world, only Beimang and Beiliang can rival the Liyang royal family."
"But the Northern Barbarians believe in Buddhism, so you only have one choice, and that is the Northern Liang."
Rainy Day's words silenced Wang Chonglou; clearly, Rainy Day's words were exactly what he had in mind.
"But you've forgotten one fact."
Rainy Day continued.
"What fact?"
Wang Chonglou hurriedly pressed for an answer.
"Can the Crown Prince of Northern Liang, on whom you have placed all your hopes, truly govern the three continents of Northern Liang? Is his ambition really to rule the world?"
Rainy Day's questioning silenced Wang Chonglou, while Xu Fengnian stared at Rainy Day with fury in his eyes.
"What do you mean by that, 'rainy day'?"
Xu Fengnian shouted coldly at Yu Tian.
"If you truly aspire to rule the world, then why have you accomplished nothing all these years?"
"Hide your talents? What talents are you hiding? You're neither a scholar nor a warrior. Without your father, Xu Xiao, you're nothing."
Rainy Day said casually.
Upon hearing Yu Tian speak of his brother, Xu Fengnian, in such a manner, Xu Longxiang immediately became dissatisfied with Yu Tian.
"You're not allowed to talk about my brother."
After saying that, he swung his fist directly at Yu Tian and threw it.
Yu Tian then waved his sleeve, and a sword aura shot out from it, directly attacking Xu Longxiang.
However, Yu Tian had no intention of harming Xu Longxiang, who possessed innate superhuman strength and a pure heart. Therefore, the sword energy only trapped Xu Longxiang.
"Xu Fengnian, did I say something wrong?"
"Sect Leader Wang, are you sure you want to stake the future of your Longhu Mountain on such a good-for-nothing? Your Great Yellow Court technique has been cultivated for countless years."
Rainy Day's words made Wang Chonglou begin to hesitate.
Is Xu Fengnian really someone Wudang Mountain needs to rely on? Although he is loyal and righteous, he truly lacks the qualities of an emperor.
"Sect Leader Wang, please think it over carefully. Perhaps I can offer you a better solution."
The rainy weather caused a flicker of excitement to appear in Wang Chonglou's hesitant eyes.
How could he possibly be willing to hand over his Great Yellow Court, which he had painstakingly cultivated for many years? If it weren't for wanting to revitalize Wudang, why would he have thrown all the burdens onto his junior brother?
"Sir, what kind of way out are you referring to?"
Wang Chonglou asked expectantly.
"That is to make your Wudang Mountain the state religion of Liyang, the number one Taoist immortal mountain in the world."
The rainy weather made Xu Fengnian burst out laughing during the 3.3rd round.
"Rainy Day, do you know which sect is the current state religion? Do you know their relationship with the Li Yang royal family?"
Xu Fengnian's question made Wang Chonglou sigh helplessly, and the hope that had just been ignited was instantly shattered.
"If I didn't know all this, how could I dare to speak so presumptuously to Sect Leader Wang?"
He sneered on the rainy day.
"What? Since you know about the relationship between the Li Yang royal family and Longhu Mountain, then you know that as long as the Li Yang royal family exists, it is impossible to shake the status of Longhu Mountain."
"What, are you planning to raise an army and overthrow the Li Yang royal family?"
"How many elite troops do you have that allows you to spout such nonsense?"
Xu Fengnian coldly pressed for an answer.
Yu Tian squinted and stared coldly at Xu Fengnian.
"According to you, you also don't have the ability to make Wudang Mountain the state religion, because to make Wudang Mountain the state religion, you would have to rebel and overthrow the Liyang royal family."
"Is that what you mean, Prince of Beiliang?"
He sneered on the rainy day.
"Don't make false accusations. My Xu family has fought for Liyang in the north and south, and we are utterly loyal to Liyang. How could we possibly betray Liyang?"
Xu Fengnian nervously tried to explain.
"If that's the case, then Wudang Mountain cannot flourish and revitalize under your leadership. Headmaster Wang, do you now think Xu Fengnian is the right choice for Wudang?"
Yu Tian turned his head and looked at Wang Chonglou, asking a question.
Wang Chonglou shook his head helplessly, then sighed heavily. He looked at the rainy sky, seemingly having put his mind at ease, and finally spoke slowly.
"Sir, may I have a discussion with you tonight?"
"Your Highness, I am now well. The Celestial Master from Longhu Mountain has come to escort the young prince to Longhu Mountain. I will not keep you any longer."
Wang Chonglou's words clearly indicated that he had made a decision: Wudang Mountain would not rely on Xu Fengnian, but would instead seek other ways out.
"Walk.".

After Xu Fengnian left, a hint of worry flashed in Wang Chonglou's eyes.
However, he quickly concealed the worry in his eyes.
And all of this, naturally, was witnessed by Yu Tian.
"Is Sect Leader Wang worried about Xu Xiao?"
On a rainy day, he took a sip of tea and asked casually.
Upon hearing Yu Tian's inquiry, Wang Chonglou did not feign ignorance but instead smiled and agreed.
"The ruler of Beiliang, with his 300,000-strong Beiliang army, what martial arts sect in the Jianghu wouldn't fear him?"
Wang Chonglou smiled wryly, and Yu Tian did not refute him, but instead chose to acquiesce to Wang Chonglou's statement.
"Then why did Sect Leader Wang refuse to pass on his Great Yellow Court technique to Xu Fengnian today? This must be an agreement you made with Xu Xiao."
"He puts your Wudang on the Xu family's big ship, and you need to pass on your Great Yellow Court to Xu Fengnian. From now on, Wudang Mountain will share the same fate as his Northern Liang, and suffer the same fate as him."
He said with a faint smile on the rainy day.
“Everything you say is true, sir, which is why I choose to believe you. You left a sword aura in my body back then, probably to prevent me from passing on the Great Yellow Court to Xu Fengnian.”
"I never thought highly of Xu Fengnian. He lacks domineering presence, and as a person in a position of power, he doesn't know how to weigh the pros and cons. Although he values emotions, those who achieve great things must always put emotions behind reason."
“If it weren’t for the fact that Beiliang is the only country Wudang can rely on in the world today, I wouldn’t have placed all my hopes on Xu Fengnian.”
Wang Chonglou said with a sigh.
"Now, doesn't Sect Leader Wang have a better option?"
Yu Tian looked at Wang Chonglou and smiled faintly.
"Yes, I believe what you say, sir."
After Wang Chonglou finished speaking, he respectfully bowed to Yu Tian.
Yu Tian nodded calmly, his gaze sweeping over Hong Xixiang not far away. He instantly understood why Wang Chonglou was able to abandon the Xu family of Beiliang and choose to believe in him.
"Sect Leader Wang, how did your junior brother talk to you and convince you to trust me, even at the cost of Wudang Mountain's future?"
Rainy Day asked curiously.
"My junior brother told me that you are a chosen one, no, you should be called an immortal."
As Wang Chonglou spoke, he stroked his beard and burst into laughter.
"No wonder he is the reincarnation of Lu Zu."
After muttering something in the rain, he became serious.
"I plan to support Princess Taiping of the Liyang Dynasty to ascend the throne. Wudang Mountain will be the state religion, and the troops used for the rebellion will be the Northern Liang army."
The thought of rain sent chills down Wang Chonglou's spine. Was this guy just daydreaming or indulging in wishful thinking?
Leaving aside the fact that a woman ascended the throne, Princess Taiping herself seemed to have no power whatsoever in the palace.
The Northern Liang army even uses the banner with the character "Xu" on it. If you want the Northern Liang army to help you stage a coup, even if the Xu family is wiped out, it's not our turn.
