Chapter 133 Come in Person
At this moment, the seven shadowy swordmen attacked together abruptly, and seven waves of sword light struck to Li Ye at the same time. While the green whirlpool at his feet burst out a bright formation pattern. Its great suction burst to the extreme at this moment. The tall building under his feet was torn to pieces with broken woods and bricks flying everywhere.
The seven waves of Sword Qi blocked the space where Li Ye would dodge. At the same time, a giant green sword, shining dazzling light, suddenly appeared in the air. It chopped Li Ye down, as bright as the sun!
Wu Jianghuai’s voice was full of killing intent, “It’s useless to never say uncle. Go to hell!”
“Really?” Li Ye raised his eyebrows slightly.
He punched without any extra movements.
The punch was unremarkable but powerful. The sudden punch hit the shadow in the front directly, and screams immediately sounded. That shadow wasn’t a vague shadow but a person.
It was Wu Jianghuai who was hit by the punch and showed his figure!
Wu Jianghuai was punched to fly backward, vomiting blood. The spiritual sword flew out of his hand and hit the roof of a building, lifting a cyan tile.
He looked at Li Ye in horror and roared in disbelief, “How could you hit me? Once the Skylight Sword Formation is launched, the figure of the cultivator is unpredictable. How could you hit me?!”
When Wu Jianghuai was hit away, the Skylight Sword Formation became unstable immediately without him. The light swayed as if it was going to shatter, and the giant sword stopped in the air, unable to move any further. While Li Ye arrived at the front of Wu Jianghuai along the track that Wu Jianghuai was hit out.
Li Ye stretched out his hand to grab Wu Jianghuai by the neck through the air and lifted him up. Li Ye said disdainfully, “I’ve said that the Skylight Sword Formation was very common. The figure of the cultivator is unpredictable just because he moves rapidly in the direction of Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches. In the face of a real master, it is not worth mentioning. I can hit whoever I want.”
“It is... impossible! Without decades of cultivation of formation, it’s impossible to see through the Skylight Sword Formation!” Wu Jianghuai flushed and breathed hard, his limbs struggling. But with his cultivation, it was impossible to get rid of Li Ye’s control.
“Save that to tell Yama when you arrive at the Palace of Hell.” Li Ye sneered. He put a little strength in his hand and wrung Wu Jianghuai’s neck. He threw Wu Jianghuai on the street casually. A small hole appeared in the ground.
“You killed the son of the Wu family?!”
“You killed the eldest son of the Wu family?!”
“You will die without a burial place!”
“Go together. Kill him!”
Li Ye had already rushed out of the direction of the Skylight Sword Formation, and those Sword Qi, which blocked him to move, didn’t work at all. When they saw Wu Jianghuai was killed, the other six cultivators were shocked and terrified. They rushed towards Li Ye together regardless of everything!
“A group of insects, what else can you do except yelling?” Li Ye glanced at them calmly. He didn’t care about the flying Sword Qi. When he slapped, a huge shadow of the palm appeared suddenly, causing the cyan tiles all around the roofs flying into the sky.
With six light sounds, the six swordsmen all vomited blood and flew backward like rubber balls being hammered away. The spiritual swords flew out of their hands and fell all over the dock.
Li Ye chuckled and jumped off with his hands behind to the front of Wu Jianghuai.
These so-called masters of Qizhou didn’t even have the qualification to let him use the cultivation methods of “Purple Clouds from the East”, let alone let him use the Luke Sword.
Li Ye glanced at Wu Jianghuai. “You’re not dead yet. It seems that the Wu family isn’t good for nothing. At least the means of life-saving is not so bad.”
His neck was wrung, but Wu Jianghuai was still breathing, so he definitely had a secret method to save his life. But now, he was lying on the ground weakly, his eyes protruding like those of a dead fish. He was breathless and it seemed that he couldn’t last for a long time.
“Since you’re not dead, then take me to see Wu Huainan.” Li Ye lifted up Wu Jianghuai who was nearly breathless and flew over to the capital of Qizhou.
Nearby, the cultivators of the Black Office quickly got rid of the cultivators brought by Wu Jianghuai.
In the capital of Qizhou, there were soldiers guarding the city, but it wasn’t under strict guard and the gate wasn’t closed. They didn’t expect that Wu Jianghuai would be killed by Li Ye when he got out of the city, which could be predicted by the panic and surprising look of the guard captain who saw Li Ye flying over with Wu Jianghuai who looked like dead fish.
Besides, it was not a grand army’s attacking but just a group of Jianghuers’ rioting, so it didn’t need to close the gate.
“Go to report the Inspector General!”
The captain shouted quickly.
Leaping on the city wall, Li Ye slapped him and flew into the city. “You don’t need to report, and I’ll go to find him personally.”
...
Wu Huainan was receiving a visitor.
The person sitting in front of him was a middle-aged Taoist dressed in a Taoist robe with a face like a jade.
The afternoon sunlight streamed through the window, and the tea on the small table was steaming, the atmosphere calm and quiet.
Wu Huainan took a sip of tea and said to the person in the front, “Spiritual Master Zhao, I invited you to come rashly, so I hope that I won’t disturb your cultivation.”
The middle-aged Taoist sat steadily with an untainted temperament. He smiled. “Inspector General, you are welcome. You govern Qizhou in perfect order, so the Taoist sect of the Huafuzhu Mountain always respects you. The world is going to be chaotic, so it’s time for Taoist sects to go out into the world. Without you, Taoist sects will be in a difficult situation.”
Wu Huainan smiled with relief. “Leading the force of Jianghu, the Huafuzhu Mountain helps to support the Wu family and also recruits the youths of the Wu family to teach profound Taoist methods so that the Wu family has the power to control the whole Qizhou.”
The middle-aged Taoist smiled more intensely. “The Huafuzhu Mountain and the Wu family are interconnected. If we cooperate with each other, there will be out of trouble in Qizhou.”
“Of course.” Wu Huainan nodded in agreement.
The middle-aged Taoist took a glance at Wu Huainan and said suddenly, “I’ve heard that a river gang has appeared in Qizhou and caused a lot of trouble for the Wu family along its way to the east?”
Seeing the other side took the initiative to cut into the topic, Wu Huainan didn’t cover, so he said directly, “There is, indeed, a force that is aggressive and extremely domineering. Judging from its behavior, it’s obvious that it doesn’t get along with the Wu family and intends to establish its authority. I ponder if they don’t aim at the Huafuzhu Mountain, then they aim at the Wu family.”
There were two major forces in Qizhou, the Taoist sect of the Huafuzhu Mountain representing Jianghu and the Wu family representing the officialdom. In their view, the Changhe Gang entered the border regardless and made troubles. If they were not a bunch of megalomaniacs, then they had a plot.
And if this plot was not to replace the Wu family, then it was to replace the Huafuzhu Mountain.
“Recently, the Taoist sects didn’t receive any news that there were any forces of Jianghu entering Qizhou,” Spiritual Master Zhao said.
At present, Wang Xianzhi and Huang Chao caused chaos in the Central Plains, but the imperial court couldn’t pacify them. Many forces of Jianghu were ready to take actions and wanted to take advantage of the chaos to expand their strength and control ranges. Through the ages, the world had been in chaos for a few times, so the sharp-eyed people could figure out the pattern. Now the world began to become turbulent, so the vassal states intended to raise troops and recruit followers, and the forces of Jianghu would also take actions.
The chaos was coming, so it wasn’t just the Taoism that wanted to go out into the world, but the Confucianism, Buddhism and Militarism wouldn’t keep silent. All of them had great forces for more than a thousand year. When the feudal princes competed for hegemony, they wanted to support one force to win the world in order to carry forward its own thought and become the orthodox thought that would rule the country.
And the smaller forces in Jianghu such as salt gangs, grain gangs and river gangs, as well as the rebels also wanted to go out for competing, win a place, and make achievements. They took part in the world competition and fought for territory in the Central Plains in order to become the secular masters.
“Since ancient times, heroes have come from ordinary people, and no one is willing to be lonely and mediocre. In the last year of the previous dynasty, Wagang heroes dominated a place for a time. If you want to succeed, you have to be prepared. Now the discerning people have seen the hint of the world’s chaos, so they will definitely make arrangements early. The forces of Jianghu control their own places. They will cooperate with the vassal states, take refuge in the vassal states, or seek an opportunity to raise an army in the turbulent world to occupy states and counties and develop. And now, it’s time for various forces to make arrangements.”
Spiritual Master Zhao said slowly. This was the reason why the Taoist sect of the Huafuzhu Mountain would cooperate with the Wu family to control Qizhou together. They all had great ambitions and wanted to make a difference in the troubled world.
“So what kind of forces do you think this river gang, which appeared in Qingzhou suddenly, belongs to?” Wu Huainan asked.
“Since they are not the force in Jianghu, they must be the force of the imperial court,” Spiritual Master Zhao answered.
“The force of the imperial court?”
Wu Huainan frowned and thought for a while. “Recently, it’s the time for the new commissioner of Pinglu to take office. But the office of the commissioner is in Qingzhou, so the new commissioner should go to Qingzhou to take office first before everything and then he should try to win everyone’s support. Why did he come straight to Qizhou? What’s more, we didn’t see the Ceremonial Guard of the commissioner. The new commissioner is Prince An, not an ordinary person in Jianghu and he has exalted status, so it will be high-profile wherever he goes. He won’t come quietly or even come with a river gang.”
Spiritual Master Zhao shook his head, indicating that he couldn’t figure it out in a while.
Wu Huainan suddenly smiled. “It doesn’t matter. My son has gone out of the city with his attendants, so no matter what kind of force they belong to, it will be clear when my son catches their leader.”
Spiritual Master Zhao nodded. “You son goes with the Skylight Sword Formation, so he will capture them easily.”
A murderous gaze flashed in Wu Huainan’s eyes. “Whoever comes, if he wants to interfere in Qizhou, it will be wishful thinking! If they are really the men of the commissioner, our Wu family will make them suffer. I will let him know the foundation of the Wu family’s power in Qizhou and how to get along with the Wu family when he takes office as the commissioner!”
In Wu Huainan’s understanding, Li Ye would not come with the river gang in person because it was said that the cargo ship of the river gang was very small and old. How could a pampered Grand Prince stand that situation? It was possible that Li Ye put people in the river gang or the river gang belonged to Li Ye.
However, even if Li Ye was in the river gang, Wu Huainan wouldn’t fear. With his cultivation of Level 6 Qi-refining, he wouldn’t be afraid of Li Ye at all.
After killing Liu Xingshen and Han Wenyue in the conspiracy, Li Ye put all the credit to Li Yan, which was the need to establish Li Yan’s prestige. And the second credit was given to Wang Duo and Lu Yan because they were the Prime Minister and he was a strategist who contributed to strategies, not for charging forward.
Even the storyteller said that he planned the strategy to divide the Regal Guards and assist Li Yan but didn’t mention his cultivation and fighting ability. After all, how powerful fighting ability could a person who had just entered the Qi-refining stage have? No one would believe the big talk. Therefore, no one would know how powerful Li Ye was, except for the limited people on the imperial court and the cultivators who were there that night.
And the limited people were asked not to speak out by Li Yan personally, which was to protect Li Ye. After all, Li Ye was already very eye-catching. It wasn’t good to be too eye-catching, and there would be a concern of overpraise.
Wu Huainan stood up. “I see you off.”
Spiritual Master Zhao stood up and said calmly, “After your son has captured those people back and interrogated them, please inform me.”
“That’s for sure,” Wu Huainan said with confidence.
At this moment, there was a loud sound, and it seemed that the door of the mansion was knocked down.
Then a cultivator ran in with blood on his face. He knelt in front of Wu Huainan immediately and reported with great horror, “Inspector General, something bad has happened! Childe is caught and that person is coming in. He has already rushed into the Floral-pendant Gate!”
“What?!” Wu Huainan and Spiritual Master Zhao were all shocked.
