Chapter 34: The King Sets Up a Martial Battle
In the underground secret room of Lintianfu, a young man dressed in a snow-colored straight-robed robe had a pitch-black and simple long sword suspended in front of him, only to see his hands stamped, slender fingers dancing, and his fingertips turned into light blue ice crystals, slowly spreading from the tip of the sword to the hilt.
Behind the young man, there stood a middle-aged man dressed in rich clothes, who exuded a solemn and calm aura, standing with his hands in his hands, his eyes flashing, looking at the young man and asking, "Bing'er, how is the progress?"
The young man who was called Bing'er was Shen Han, who came to offer the treasure, and his name was Bai Bing at this time.
Shen Han turned his head, looked at the middle-aged man in awe, and said softly, "Father-in-law, the child will not let you down!"
"Okay, good, good, in this way, this sentient being's return to the spring sword can be used by me, hahahaha!" The middle-aged man stroked his palms and laughed, and the bright eyes under the sword eyebrows ignited the flame of power lust.
After the man left, a faint hint of anger flashed in Shen Han's eyes.
When offering the treasure the day before yesterday, the man in the palace asked the reason, and Shen Han said in the hall that he had attacked the master of the Spring Sword because he had attacked the sentient beings who had not recovered from serious injuries, and was chased and killed by the master of the sword, so he went here and offered the sword.
When asked why he wanted to steal this sword, Shen Han replied that he had heard that the Sword of Returning to the Spring was an artifact that the king thought about day and night, so he brought the treasure to the royal capital to offer the sword.
I heard that the lord of the throne respected Yan Dayue, because he had no children under his knees, he happily accepted Shen Han as his righteous son and let him live in the floating palace.
In the royal capital, a man with a fierce face walked forward with a giant sword on his back, his pace was hurried and steady, Yu Lotian blocked his way and asked, "Senior, may I ask if all of you people are going to the Wudutai?"
"Now that the king has obtained the Sword of Returning to the Spring of All Beings, and has set up a martial arts platform in the royal capital, it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us ordinary cultivators. The man was originally a little angry when he was stopped, and his eyes widened, and Shen Lingxuan on the side was so frightened that he hid behind Yu Letian. But when the man heard the three words of Wudutai, his face was suddenly excited, his fists were clenched, and his fierce face looked a little ridiculous.
Yu Lotian then asked, "Then why didn't so many people go to the martial arts platform in the past?"
"Hahaha, young man, I'm afraid you haven't heard of the legend of the Sword of Returning to the Spring, right?" The man spoke proudly, his eyes revealing infinite yearning. "Now the king uses the Sword of Returning to the Spring of All Beings as the ultimate reward of the Martial Dueling Platform, if he can see the treasure of the Divine Sword, even if he dies on the Martial Dueling Table, what does it matter!"
After the man sighed passionately, he ran to the city again, leaving Hua Feng and the others looking at each other.
After listening to the man's words, Hua Feng exclaimed: "Zhu Lin, I didn't expect that your sword has risen to the supreme status among soldiers in the royal capital!"
Zhu Lin looked at the back of the man leaving, a trace of determination flashed in his eyes, and said leisurely: "Wudutai, I am also going to go for a while!"
"What? Are you crazy, don't say that you go to battle with a mere dragon tooth sword, even if you still have the Sword of Returning to the Spring of Beings, you will be holding a grudge against the Martial Arts!" Yu Lotian roared in horror, in his opinion, these cultivators in the city were already crazy because of the Sword of Returning to the Spring of Beings, and Zhu Lin was also as enchanted as them.
Hua Feng's eyes flashed gloomily, he grabbed Zhu Lin's shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "Lotte is right, you really can't go to this martial arts platform, as for the sentient beings returning to the Spring Sword, don't be impulsive, we have to find another way." ”
Zhu Lin was surprisingly calm, and he also clearly understood that now that the Sword of All Beings is in the hands of the king of the royal capital, the establishment of a military duel platform is just a kind of fair and righteous battle, and when the battle reaches the peak of the duel, the royal capital is bound to be full of blood.
"Then, how can we go to my brother Shen Han now, he must have been bewitched by someone to hand over that sword to the king. Shen Lingxuan has been depressed since she entered the city yesterday, and when she heard Yu Lotian and them talk about the words "All Living Beings Return to the Spring Sword", she couldn't help but shudder, and her mind seemed to gradually recall dusty memories.
Those memories made Shen Lingxuan's heart like a knife, her pretty face was already full of sadness and hatred, tears fell like a broken bead curtain, and she said in a throat: "My brother once told me that since the birth of the Sword of All Living Beings, it has been liked by the king, thinking about it day and night, and not sleeping!"
"At that time, the king informed the world that he would dig three feet into the ground to find the whereabouts of the Returning Spring Sword, because at the right time, the imperial commander was out of the army, so the king asked Shen Yuzheng and our father Shen Xi to find the traces of the owner of the Returning Spring Sword. ”
When Yu Letian heard this, his face was filled with suspicion, he stretched out his hand to interrupt Shen Lingxuan's words, and asked Zhu Lin: "In this way, Zhu Lin also lived in the royal capital?"
"What's the matter?" Zhu Lin replied in a deep voice, he did live in the royal capital for a while, but for some reason he was taken to the Weiyang clan by his grandfather, and even his father and mother left at that time, and when he parted, he only told himself to work hard to become stronger, and he has not been contacted again.
However, Zhu Lin's disapproval, in Yu Letian's opinion, he was a little unhappy, and he got up and wanted to have a seizure again, but he was persuaded by Hua Feng.
"Lotte, the inn we stayed at overnight was found by Zhu Lin, and he didn't say that he was not from the royal capital!" Hua Feng looked at Shen Lingxuan again and said, "Let Lingxuan continue." ”
Shen Lingxuan pursed her lips, wiped away the tears on her pretty face, and continued to state: "But my father is warm and warm-hearted, loves Kuangfu chivalry, and that day he was indeed fortunate to get acquainted with the owner of the Sword of Returning to the Spring of All Beings, so as to understand the mystery of the Sword of Returning to the Spring of All Beings. ”
Because his father knew the king's temperament and knew that the king would do whatever it took to get the divine soldier, but such an outcome would be harmful to both parties, so in the end his father and the owner of the sword formed a friendship of eight worships, and persuaded the man to leave the royal capital and find another place. ”
A few days later, my father came to the king and said that he had been wounded by the Lord of the Sword of the Returning Spring, so that the man did not know where to flee, and he had come to plead guilty. The king was furious, and although he absolved my father of his capital crime, he also removed him from his original office as an example. ”
Speaking of this, Shen Lingxuan's voice began to whimper a little, and a black mist appeared in her crystal eyes: "Who knew that the imperial commander had already bought the housekeeper in our mansion, and the dog thief saw that my father was no longer in an important position, so he told me about my father's worship with the director of the Spring Sword." The imperial commander reported this matter to the king, and ordered us to slaughter Jing'an Mansion!"
"Your father has been dismissed from the position of imperial government, why did the imperial commander still have to kill them all like this at that time?" Although Yu Lotian doesn't know what level of position the imperial ruler is, but the imperial government who has been removed from his position no longer has any threat to the so-called imperial ruler?
Shen Lingxuan's eyes flashed with a hint of fierceness, and he replied resentfully: "The imperial government is the left of the king, assisting the king in managing the affairs of the Qin military country, and the imperial commander is the right of the king, leading the army to fight for the king's internal and external conquests. Shi Yutong's surname was Qianren, this person has long been rebellious, but he has been restrained by my father's imperial position, and when my father was down, he came to murder!"
Hua Feng asked, "Then your father knew that he had let go of all living beings and returned to the Lord of the Spring Sword, why didn't he dismiss the people in the mansion and leave earlier with his family?"
"My father also planned to live in seclusion elsewhere, but he still had some concern for the city in his heart, and he never expected that the deacon, who had followed my father for many years, would take refuge in his opponent, which gave the imperial commander an opportunity to enter the palace at that time. Shen Lingxuan clenched her fists, trembling with palpitations, both fear and anger.
Yu Letian also resolutely stood beside Shen Lingxuan, wiped her tears, looked up at Hua Feng, and said: "I believe what Xuan'er said, how could Shen Han, as a man with strong blood, give up the revenge of killing his father and destroying the clan, he must have been confused!"
"Now that the sword has been in the hands of the king, and it is now being pursued by the cultivators of the whole city, if we rush to grab the sword, we will become the target of everyone, and we can only wait and see what happens!" Hua Feng looked at the crowd in the city and sighed.
In a blink of an eye, he glared at Yu Lotian again, and shouted in a low voice: "Don't forget, when your kid was defeated and fell on the floating island, it was Zhu Lin who helped you send it to the cultivation tent, he was also seriously injured, and he left only after you were settled. ”
When Yu Letian heard Hua Feng say this, his eyes dodged, his face suddenly flushed, and he wanted to quibble, but his funny demeanor provoked Shen Lingxuan on the side to burst into tears and laugh.
The scorching sun was in the sky, and bursts of heat waves were surging in the streets of the city, but they still couldn't resist the pace of the residents of the city to go to the Wudutai, and the sonorous sound of swords colliding sounded in the distance.
"Let's go, let's also go and wait and see, we might as well find out what kind of conspiracy is behind this martial arts platform by the way!" Yu Lotian staggered the topic and disappeared into the crowd of people on the street with Shen Lingxuan, because he was also full of curiosity and wanted to see what kind of purgatory the martial arts platform was.
Hua Feng nodded and followed. Indeed, if you want to understand the king, the next step is to take a step closer, and there is nothing to understand about the king at the moment, except for the martial arts.
The Wudutai was set up in the center of the royal capital, a battle ground built of dark diamonds, surrounded by soldiers of the imperial army, all wearing golden armor, holding yin and yang spears, and the bloody aura of slaughter spread in a radius of dozens of miles, it was a kind of murderous aura accumulated in the sand for a long time, not to mention that ordinary people felt breathless, and even some cultivators in the surrounding low-dimensional realm felt very depressed.
