Xu Xiao also has six adopted sons, all of whom have been entrusted with important responsibilities in the army. Trying to wrest military power from them? You'd be asking for a million bucks.

After hearing Yu Tian's words, Wang Chonglou regretted his decision. It was just a piece of the Great Yellow Court. He had given it away, so be it. It was better to stop dreaming about Yu Tian.

"Sect Leader Wang, you don't seem to trust me. That's true, these plans do seem a bit far-fetched to you."

“But Sect Leader Wang, this afternoon you directly expelled Xu Xiao’s son, Xu Fengnian, from Wudang Mountain. Now you and I are in the same boat. You have no choice but to accept it.”

Rainy Day laughed heartily, then he stood up.

"Sect Leader Wang, since I have said these words, it means that I, Yutian, am confident that as long as you support me wholeheartedly, the position of the State Religion will surely belong to your Longhu Mountain, and the position of the State Preceptor will definitely belong to you, Wang Chonglou."

After saying that, without waiting for Wang Chonglou's response, he vanished in a flash.

At this moment, Hong Xixiang, who had been silently watching Yu Tian and Wang Chonglou's conversation, emerged.

"Junior brother, do you think he can succeed?"

Wang Chonglou asked expectantly.

Hong Xixiang shook his head, indicating that he did not know.

Seeing Hong Xixiang's timid and hesitant appearance, Wang Chonglou sighed helplessly. If it weren't for his master saying that he was a reincarnated immortal and the future revivalist of Wudang, Wang Chonglou wouldn't have bothered with him.

The real reason is that over the years, all my junior brother has done is display his incompetence.

"However, Senior Brother Sect Leader, I observe that Xu Fengnian possesses great fortune, but since the appearance of this person named Yutian, Xu Fengnian's fortune is rapidly dissipating."

"So this rainy day must be the day of destiny for the person."

At this moment, a resolute look appeared in Hong Xixiang's eyes.

Wang Chonglou nodded upon seeing this.

On the rainy day when they returned to the Northern Liang Prince's Mansion, they were immediately stopped by Old Huang.

"Sir, you dare to come back? Ever since you cut off my chance, the young master has been throwing a tantrum since he came back. Even the prince has gone to hide in a small tavern outside Lingzhou City."

Jian Jiuhuang looked worried and didn't know what to say as he gazed at the rainy sky.

As Xu Fengnian's coachman, he naturally felt sorry that Xu Fengnian had missed such a great opportunity, but as a passerby, he also felt that this move was a bit domineering.

It's really unreasonable that someone would have to give away the Great Yellow Court that they painstakingly cultivated, just because of a single sentence from Xu Xiao, the King of Northern Liang.

Now that they've come to their senses and are no longer willing to give it, that's their business. So no one can be blamed for this.

"What does this have to do with me? He sent me back with you all, and he himself is an incompetent good-for-nothing who has been a spoiled brat since childhood. He is telling me this now to cover up the Emperor of Liyang's spies."

"If one is truly determined, how could one not learn even the slightest bit of martial arts?"

He laughed mockingly on a rainy day.

He then flicked his sleeves and calmly returned to Jian Jiuhuang's stable.

At this moment, Chen Zhibao, with a sword at his waist and a frosty expression, strode towards the Prince's Mansion.

He looked down on Xu Fengnian, but no matter what, Xu Fengnian was Xu Xiao's son and the future commander-in-chief of the Northern Liang army.

Although he was unwilling to accept this decision, he was, after all, his adoptive mother's son. In order to repay his adoptive mother's kindness, he had no choice but to accept it.

Today, the young master of the Northern Liang army has been tripped up, and I must do everything I can to regain face for the Northern Liang army.

Chen Zhibao kicked open the stable door and pointed his long sword at Yu Tian, ​​who was lying on the bed.

"So you're Yutian? A man from the mountains?"

Chen Zhibao's icy voice made Jian Jiuhuang sense that something was wrong. He immediately wanted to try to make peace again, just like last time.

“Jian Jiuhuang, this is a matter between him and my Northern Liang Army. I advise you not to interfere. What he did today not only prevented Xu Fengnian from obtaining the Great Yellow Court, but also caused my Northern Liang Army to lose Wudang Mountain as an ally.”

"They eat my Beiliang food, live in my Beiliang, and are traitors to the country."

Chen Zhibao's words were extremely harsh, but Jian Jiuhuang found them quite reasonable, so he remained silent and watched Yu Tian's reaction.

Yu Tian, ​​on the other hand, calmly watched Chen Zhibao.

"Chen Zhibao, the White-Clad Warrior Immortal, is second only to Xu Xiao, the King of Beiliang. He was raised by the Princess of Beiliang from a young age, which is Xu Fengnian's mother."

"Given this favor right here, you still look down on Xu Fengnian and want to dethrone him from the throne of Beiliang. Why can't I, a simple country bumpkin, look down on Xu Fengnian?"

The rainy weather made Chen Zhibao's face twitch.

He shouted and brandished his longsword, ready to slash at Yu Tian.

Rainy Day casually flicked his sword, instantly severing Chen Zhibao's longsword in two. His eyes revealed deep disdain.

"In a one-on-one fight, you are no match for me. Here's what I'll do: I'll give you a chance to gather your troops, and I'll wait for you to crush me."

"Everyone says that the Northern Liang cavalry is invincible, but today I want to see just how strong they really are."

He coldly mocked in the rain.

After hearing Yu Tian's words, Chen Zhibao trembled all over. How dare this kid? But his own strength was indeed inferior to Yu Tian's.

With just that one sword strike, Yu Tian could have killed him outright.

Chen Zhibao was not a pedantic person, which is why he was able to become second only to Xu Xiao in the Northern Liang army.

"Kid, you'll pay the price for your arrogance,"

After Chen Zhibao finished speaking, he turned around and left.

As Chen Zhibao left, Jian Jiuhuang immediately walked up to Yu Tian.

"Sir, are you aware of Chen Zhibao's prestige in the Northern Liang army? What I'm worried about now is his Iron Pagoda."

"I'm worried," Jian Jiuhuang said.

After listening to Jian Jiuhuang's words, Yu Tian smiled faintly.

"It's alright. There's always a way out. So what if 300,000 Northern Liang troops come? I'll just defeat them with a single sword strike."

He smiled faintly in the rain.

Night falls atop a mountain outside Lingzhou City. Rainy Day stands proudly atop its summit.

Below that hillside stood six thousand ironclad cavalry.

Black armor gleamed coldly, and halberds stood like a forest, exuding a murderous aura.

The Iron Pagoda, the King's Iron Cavalry of the Northern Liang Army, is a renowned iron-blooded legion. The cavalrymen who can enter the Iron Pagoda are all elites selected from among thousands. They are clad in heavy armor, wield long halberds, and their murderous aura can pierce the sky.

Chen Zhibao waved his battle flag, and six thousand Ironclad Knights roared in unison, their voices echoing through the valley like thunder.

"Rainy Day, today you will pay the price for your arrogance!"

Chen Zhibao's voice was like thunder, filled with boundless confidence and killing intent. After all, six thousand Iron Pagodas could easily crush any small border country.

Chen Zhibao did not believe that Yu Tian could fight against six thousand Ironclad Cavalry all by himself.

Yu Tian smiled slightly, his gaze was cold, and his right hand formed a sword-like gesture with two fingers, releasing a powerful aura.

"Six thousand Iron Pagoda soldiers, the elite of the Northern Liang army, are rare treasures. We are reluctant to kill them. But in order to deter the world, we must still kill them."

He sighed as he looked down at the Ironclad Pagoda on the hillside in the rain, as if revealing endless helplessness.

Seeing Yu Tian remain so calm, Chen Zhibao immediately waved his military flag and ordered six thousand Ironclad Cavalry to attack him.

At Chen Zhibao's command, six thousand Ironclad Knights mobilized simultaneously, surging towards the mountain peak like a tidal wave.

The halberds gleamed coldly, and the synchronized steps carried a chilling aura, as if to engulf Yu Tian. Without the slightest hesitation, Yu Tian condensed sword energy into a longsword with two fingers of his right hand, its light flashing like lightning, meeting the endless black tide head-on.

The Ironclad Knights' attacks were as dense as rain, their halberds like a forest, flashing with cold light.

But Yu Tian's swordsmanship was like a ghost, his figure as fluid as clouds and water, and every movement was exquisite.

His sword flashed, crisscrossing and spraying blood everywhere. With each swing, several Ironclad Knights fell, their blood staining the mountaintop.

A cavalryman leaped high into the air, his halberd thrusting straight at Yu Tian's face.

Despite the rain, his expression remained unchanged. With a flick of his sword, the halberd was easily deflected, and with a swift strike, the knight's head fell to the ground, blood gushing out like a waterfall and splashing onto the cold earth.

The Ironclad Knights charged forward wave after wave, yet Yu Tian stood firm like a war god. His sword intent grew ever more fierce, each strike carrying unparalleled power. The six thousand Ironclad Knights crumbled and disintegrated beneath his sword like a surging tide.

"kill!"

With another angry shout, a heavily armored Ironclad Knight charged forward, his halberd like a dragon, aiming straight for Yu Tian's chest. Yu Tian coldly snorted, and with a flash of his sword, the halberd snapped in two. Before the heavily armored knight could react, he was cut down from his horse.

The battle intensified, and the sword light in the rain grew faster and brighter, as if it were about to cleave the night in two.

His figure weaved through the enemy ranks, each strike of his sword bringing forth a shower of blood. The Ironclad Knights fell one after another under his unparalleled swordsmanship, their blood staining the entire mountaintop crimson.

"Is this the legendary Iron Pagoda, the elite force of Northern Liang?"

Yu Tian sneered, pointing his sword straight ahead, his eyes filled with boundless fighting spirit.

"A sky-and-earth net formation!"

Chen Zhibao waved the battle flag and shouted loudly.

Tens of thousands of cavalrymen swiftly changed formation, their halberds crisscrossing, forming a giant iron net as they charged towards Yu Tian.

"It's just a cornered beast fighting back!"

"The Milky Way hangs upside down!"

He snorted coldly in the rain, and lightly raised the sword.

Countless sword energies poured down like a silver river, instantly transforming into thousands of sword shadows that descended from the sky, charging straight towards the Ironclad army. Each wisp of sword energy carried an incomparably sharp edge, tearing through the air and emitting a piercing shriek.
