Dream of the Red Chamber: Starting from Immortal Martial Arts

Chapter 132 The Legend of the Wolf's Death!

Jinyaguan, Baoji County, Fengxiang Prefecture, Shaanxi Province.

The devastating power and the deafening roar of the impact were like muffled thunder, leaving the onlookers dizzy.

As the dust and smoke dissipated, several figures surrounded Chen Yu on the cracked and shattered earth, continuously feeding him pills.

Judging from the patterns on their blood-red robes, they are leopards, deer, and foxes, and should be various third-tier True Immortals of the Blood Wolf lineage!

Across from him, Jia He appeared on a pile of rubble, with the figures of Niu Lian, Hou Xiaoli, and Chen He appearing around him in succession.

Jia He, pale-faced and displeased, asked, "Is it really a single place at the third rank? How come you couldn't stop even one?"

Niu Lian gave a wry smile and replied, "The blood ground we investigated did not have any third-tier individuals, and there were only a few second-tier individuals. Not long ago, they confronted us from afar with their auras at Yiling Pass in Feng County, Hanzhong Prefecture, and then suddenly turned and came here!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Hao replied, "Judging from this, either the other side has a method of transmitting sound over long distances, or the Shaanxi region itself is a trap!"

Upon hearing this, Jia He's eyes flickered. That's right. Otherwise, how could Chen Yu, who had broken through to the mid-stage at some unknown time, have revealed his aura and been detected by him when Ma and the Blood Wolf had just started fighting?

If it weren't for the general seeking stability and having him and Lao Si secretly oversee things, Chen Yu would probably have joined forces with Blood Wolf to kill Ma Qiu, and then turned to Yiling Pass to surround and kill Niu Lian and the other two!

This is a scheme that uses the headquarters of the Fragrance Sect as a pawn, gradually luring them into a trap.

Chen Yu's initial statement, "You're not by the side of Marquis Weihu," explains everything.

Even after his family general, who had broken through to the third level with his high level of cultivation and was comparable to a mid-stage cultivator, appeared, the other party still dared to make a move, which means that there are still people hiding in the shadows!

If Blood Leopard hadn't stopped his final attack, the opponent would probably have shown up. Now that it's vanished, it must be...

Suddenly, Jia He looked up sharply at the battlefield between Ma Qiu and Blood Wolf to the west. He saw green light swaying above them, like a green silk ribbon hanging in the sky. Inside, a huge creature with wings on its shoulders, a drooping beard, and prominent horns was moving around. It opened its mouth and let out a soft roar, and an oppressive aura that made it hard to breathe permeated the world.

"To engage in battle at a strategic pass of the dynasty is punishable by death!"

The next instant, a massive dragon head descended, its eyes blazing with azure flames. With each breath, a dense, emerald-green aura surged forth, sweeping across the heavens and earth's energy to condense into hundreds of zhang-long wooden spikes, cones, vines, and tendrils that rained down from the sky, enveloping the battlefield.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh" Downwards, Ma Qiu looked up at the sky, his eyes revealing a chilling killing intent. The azure dragon in the sky had locked onto him firmly, and most of the attacks from all directions were aimed at him. No matter where his divine sense spread, he would feel a strong sense of crisis.

He glanced at the Blood Wolf, who appeared shocked but was now relaxed, and secretly hardened his heart. Just as he was about to unleash his blood attack, his divine sense suddenly...

Receive a voice transmission.

"Ignore him, seize the opportunity to take down this bloodhound!"

Ma Qiu felt reassured. He opened his mouth and spat out a small, curved bow, with winding lines etched on it. The bow radiated a brilliant blue light and then expanded to nearly a hundred feet in length.

At the same time, the horse disappeared, leaving only a blue horse with its four hooves treading on the breeze, its body growing larger in the wind. Its hundred-foot-long body lay horizontally on the clouds, its entire body surging with powerful blue energy. Its hind hooves were pressing against the bowstring, and its front hooves were supporting the bow, locking onto the dragon in the sky.

Suddenly, a vast sea of ​​fire appeared in mid-air, turning the world upside down. It burned fiercely upwards, and a fire tiger, as big as a mountain peak and a hundred and forty feet long, leaped out from it, carrying the blazing fire and fiercely attacking the dragon.

The series of unexpected events left everyone present stunned. Just as Blood Wolf's mind began to relax, the bow aimed at Insect Dragon suddenly lowered, using the hundred-foot-tall steed as an arrow to lock onto him. A vast arrow intent soared into the sky, and the sharp energy shattered the mountain behind him.

The next instant, the already chilling azure wind, amplified by the Yuan soldiers, acted upon the supernatural power and martial body, becoming even more extremely sharp, shooting forth in an instant as if a killing intent had been unleashed from the heavens!

"With a hiss, the sky and earth were torn apart like a curtain in the blink of an eye by the arrow. A dazzling blue light streaked across the sky, and a powerful shockwave carved deep trenches in the ground beneath the arrow. With unstoppable force, it slammed into the Blood Wolf True Man's body!"

"boom!"

The hundred-foot-tall divine steed exploded with a roar, turning into specks of azure light that scattered across the heavens and earth. Ma Qiu's figure flew out from within, crashing heavily into the mountain forest. His clothes were torn, and blood gushed from his mouth and nose, but a look of joy appeared on his face, because where Blood Wolf True Man was, in addition to the dissipating wind, there was also a sky full of blood mist being blown around.

That was caused by the impact on the body of a third-level martial artist!

A third-tier Blood Wolf True Man is dead!

Upon seeing this, the majestic dragon in the sky flashed with a chilling rage in its eyes. With a twitch of its massive claws, the world suddenly darkened as the dragon's claws, which blotted out the sky, tore through the heavens and slashed down from the sky!

Seeing this, the fire tiger below intensified its flames, bursting into a dazzling pillar of fire that shot straight into the sky, as if it had punched a hole in the heavens!

"Bang!"

The collision of the two produced a deafening explosion, and the intense aftershocks rippled out white waves of air that swept across the surrounding area for hundreds of miles. Everything in its path was blown apart. The once lush mountains formed a vacuum zone of more than ten miles in the battlefield, with hundreds of large craters appearing below, and the ground was covered with colorful glass scorched by the fire!

"Cough cough cough~~"

A few soft coughs echoed from inside the pit. Jia Kang, his body wreathed in crimson flames, leaped out and joined the somewhat exhausted Ma Qiu. They arrived outside Jin Ya Pass and stood side by side with Jia He.

His face turned ashen upon seeing this; it seemed the day was over!

Just in front of Chen Yu and the four True Immortals, Blood Leopard, Blood Deer, and Blood Fox, stood Chen Kan, the first prince of the Great Zhao Dynasty and a mid-stage third-order cultivator of the Chen clan, with his hands behind his back and a gloomy face.

Chen Kan wanted to continue the pursuit and kill Ma Qiu, but Jia He and the others suddenly took out some talismans that were very similar to the martial talismans they had used on the Liaodong battlefield and aimed them at Chen Yu and his group, forcing him to rush over.

"Jia He, the Golden Tiger Immortal, and Jia Kang, the Red Tiger Immortal, both generals of the Jia family, how dare you, as fourth-rank officials of the imperial court, wage war at such a strategically important and dangerous pass as Jinya Pass?"

"Golden Sharpness and Fiery Red" was an honorific title established at the founding of the dynasty, but unfortunately it wasn't used until the fourth generation.

Chen Kan glanced around, looking at Jia He and Ma Qiu, whose faces were somewhat pale, and at Jia Kang, Niu Lian, Hou Xiaoli, and Chen He, who were in good spirits. He sighed inwardly and shouted, "I will definitely report this to the court and punish you cultivators for committing such a serious crime against the nation!"

Upon hearing this, Jia He sneered and loudly proclaimed, "I, bearing the order of the Left Commander-in-Chief of the Left Army Commandery, and stamped with the seals of the Five Armies Commandery and the Ministry of War, will secretly patrol the passes and fortresses within the Great Zhao territory to guard against any lapses in military preparedness!"

"I never expected to arrive here only to encounter a group of evil spirits using the common people as bait. They seem to be remnants of the Holy Cult. How can I stand idly by?"

"It seems the prince is protecting these demons clad in blood-red robes!"

"Remnants? Demons? Cover-ups?"

Chen Kan flew into a rage and turned to ask, "Leopard, Deer, and Fox Immortals, the ascetic practices you spoke of to me—were they actually using people as food and blood as a catalyst?"

Upon hearing this, Blood Leopard bowed slightly and clasped his hands in protest, saying, "Your Highness, we brothers have been cultivating diligently in the deep mountains, exploring secret realms. This time, we were impressed by Your Highness and decided to serve the Great Zhao. We have not done anything that would incur the wrath of heaven and the resentment of the people, as this general claims!"

Chen Kan then asked, "How dare you! How dare you try to argue before me? You and that executed Blood Wolf Master all wear blood-red robes and have the character 'beast' in your names; you must be connected!"

"Your Highness, we are dressed in red, albeit a slightly darker shade. As for our beast names, to be frank, you and this general are both dragons and tigers—"

Chen Kan frowned and asked Jia He, "General Jia He, did you see clearly that these three True Immortals were indeed cannibals and blood drinkers?"

Jia He's expression was indifferent, his eyes gleaming but his face devoid of emotion. He said calmly, "I want to see them die, whether they go to heaven or hell!"

"It was all a misunderstanding 2"

Chen Kan breathed a sigh of relief, but looking at Chen Yu's serious injuries, he asked, "Prince Yu, what caused your severe injuries? Were you attacked and killed by usurpers?"

Just as Chen Yu was about to speak, Jia He said loudly, "It was a quarrel between this general and the prince that caused us some anger, so we decided to have a friendly spar!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Kan's face gradually darkened, and he questioned, "General, do you admit to insubordination?"

"Which side are you offending?"

"You are a general, and the ruler of this realm; how dare you not offend me?"

Jia He's eyes flashed with murderous intent as he stepped forward and said coldly, "Your Highness, as a superior-grade clansman, how dare you address my lord, the superior-grade martial hero Marquis of Mighty Tiger, by his name? This is a great disrespect to my lord!"

"I am a general of the Jia family; if my lord is disgraced, I will die!"

The chilling words echoed through the forest, causing the expressions of the people behind Jia He to change drastically, and their auras to subtly surge!

Seeing this, Chen Kan sighed softly, suppressing the somewhat exaggerated expression on his face, and said calmly, "Alright, let's stop with the jabs for now. We'll see what happens in the future!"

Having said that, he looked at the unmoved Jia He and his group, his inner energy surging and clanging, and laughed, "You and Jia Kang may not be so badly hurt, but the rest of you will certainly die!"

Jia Kang stepped forward, his eyes blazing with fury: "Those leopards, foxes, and deer will be utterly destroyed!"

Having just recovered somewhat, Chen Yu suppressed the excruciating pain within him, flashed to Chen Kan's left, half a step behind, and said coldly, "Then let's exchange pieces!"

Chen Kan raised his hand to stop Chen Yu, and looked at Jia He, saying, "Know when to stop, don't give it all back with interest!"

Jia He kept calculating in his mind. If it really came to a fight to the death, Chen Kan, with his golden body and golden blood foundation alone, could overwhelm him and the fourth brother. If they used all their trump cards, at most one of them would survive, and the other two might not even die. In addition, Chen Yu, who was in the mid-stage, plus the other three, could probably take down Niu Lian and the other three.

Since there is a deputy flag bearer of the Tiger Fiend Banner within the individual, who can transmit sound to the main general, the opponent probably also has this method, and there will be reinforcements later!

Jia He slightly closed his eyes, nodded gently, and suppressed the overwhelming killing intent in his heart, saying calmly, "Good!"

As soon as the words were spoken, both groups of people vanished without a trace.

After everyone had disappeared for a short while, the cultivators who had been watching the battle from afar cautiously set foot on this broken mountain range, causing news of the place to begin to circulate in the cultivation world!

"In Fengxiang Prefecture, Shanxi, Chen Jia and Long Hu clashed, with the Golden Tiger True Man decisively defeating the mid-stage Kui Dragon True Man!"

"The remnants of the Holy Cult have resurfaced, using the flesh and blood of a thousand to cultivate primordial medicine in a deathly land!"

"Ma Shi Feng Lie Zhenren Ma Qiu forcibly killed Bai Sheng Jiao Zhenren Xue Lang!"

Various rumors spread like wildfire throughout the land, causing major powers within the country to feel a sense of impending doom.

The backyard of Rongguo Mansion in Xianjing.

Beside each secluded path, one could see tall, rather rugged female soldiers, each wielding a sharp blade. They wore uniform long, narrow-sleeved, palace-green robes embroidered with lifelike phoenixes, their sharp claws pointing directly at the cuffs, giving them an exceptionally imposing and fierce appearance.

Every now and then, squads of heavily armed guards would patrol the area, and the entire mansion was under military control.

Daiyu's courtyard, main hall.

Jia Tang sat in the main seat, with Lin Daiyu sitting beside him. To his left and right sat the four sisters, Xue Baochai, Shi Xiangyun, and Xing Xiuyan, who had just arrived.

Everyone was having lunch together in a lively atmosphere, which was quite peaceful and warm.

Suddenly, Lin Daiyu noticed Jia Tang's expression had turned cold, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes. She summoned her personal maid to bring her a bowl to rinse her mouth, then whispered, "Brother, do you think I've eaten too much?"

"?"

Jia Tang was taken aback, then instantly realized that the other party had noticed his emotional change when he received the telepathic message.

So she put down her ivory chopsticks and said irritably, "Don't talk nonsense. When have I ever complained? I'm just worried you don't eat enough!"

As soon as he put down his chopsticks, the remaining women, seeing this, all called their maids to rinse their mouths and wash their hands.

Jia Tang shook his head, got up and went to the table on the side. He looked out the window at the palace, his eyes filled with an inscrutable expression.

Seeing this, Lin Daiyu's eyes lit up, and she asked with a smile, "Which sister is Brother thinking of?"

Jia Tang paused for a moment, then smiled and pinched Lin Daiyu's cheek, saying, "It's as far away as the horizon as it is right before your eyes."

"Pooh!"

Lin Daiyu blushed slightly and retorted, "Why bother looking outside? Who knows who might be bewitching their heart?"

"This is truly a miscarriage of justice—"

Jia Tang protested, complaining, "I haven't been to any music concerts lately!"

Lin Daiyu rolled her eyes at him and said, "Why go outside if you want to listen to music? The twelve actors in the manor are all excellent at playing female roles."

The Twelve Court Musicians were sent by the Ma family of Jianghuai Salt Association a few days before Jia Tang returned from the Liaodong battlefield. Jia Tang didn't really listen to them, but Grandmother Jia and others liked them quite a bit and would call them over to perform them from time to time.

Jia Tang's eyes gleamed with a deep smile: "Their music is not the same as the kind I listen to—"

Upon hearing this, Lin Daiyu glared at him hatefully and cursed, "You filthy scoundrel, you must be a bad one."

"You just wait, you'll get what's coming to you later."

"Pooh--"

After the two joked and played around for a while, Lin Daiyu breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that his cold expression had subsided.

"Brother, go ahead and do your work. Don't upset yourself."

"Don't worry, little sister, everything is alright."

Jia Tang patted Lin Daiyu's small hand, nodded to the other women, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Upon seeing this, Lin Daiyu suppressed her smile, her face becoming cold and indifferent. She stood where Jia Tang had disappeared, following his gaze toward the palace.

"Mrs. Chen is a thorn in my brother's side!"
