Chapter 172: An Unexpected Origin

Outside the capital.

Purple maple forest.

Yue Lingyao, who was furious, instantly used the suppression of the life gate to improve his combat power, and rushed towards Li Wuji like lightning, and the white jade remnant sword in his hand looked like it was about to be unsheathed again!

But at this moment, the figure flashed, and the old man Wuji had already appeared in front of Yue Lingyao, and with a flick of the dust, Yue Lingyao only felt a flower in front of him, and then there was a tingling sensation in his wrist, and he lost consciousness in an instant!

With a soft sound, the white jade remnant sword had already fallen from Yue Lingyao's hand!

Yue Lingyao, who had no weapons, couldn't help but stop, and looked at the old man Wuji who was blocking in front of him with an unwilling expression.

"He insulted my master and killed my people, did you connive at him like this?!"

Yue Lingyao gritted her teeth and looked at the old man Wuji unwillingly and asked.

"When is the time for retribution? Moreover, thou hast slain his men. ”

"And as far as the old man knows, the reason why the disciples of the head of Yue's sect were completely useless last time was because he wantonly provoked first, and he ended up like that, and he can only be blamed for his lack of skill."

"From beginning to end, he has never taken the initiative to insult your master, nor has he ever come to your Lingyao Sword Sect to disregard people's lives, but your Lingyao Sword Sect has been entangled."

"If Master Yue has to fight with him to the death today, the old man can stand by and watch, but from today on, the Lingyao Sword Sect will be the enemy of the Wuji Sect, if he dies, everyone in the Lingyao Sword Sect will definitely not die well!"

The old man Wuji put away the charitable appearance just now, and as he spoke, he stepped aside, and a majesty that made people dare not look directly appeared on his cheeks.

He is worthy of being the sect master of the first sect in the world!

Listening to Old Man Wuji's words, Yue Lingyao's brows furrowed instantly, and he no longer had the courage to take a step forward.

It's not that she's afraid of death, it's that she doesn't want to easily destroy what she has now.

With the strength of the Lingyao Sword Sect, it was impossible to compete with the Wuji Sect at all, at least for now.

"The mountains don't turn around, let's see!"

"Sooner or later, I'll make you regret what you've done! I, Yue Lingyao, do what I say! ”

Yue Lingyao glanced at Li Wuji, who was standing behind the old man Wuji, with a light smile on his face, coldly dropped a sentence, picked up the fallen white jade remnant sword, turned around and walked outside the maple forest, no longer hesitated for a moment.

After watching Yue Lingyao leave, the old man Wuji shook his head helplessly and sighed, turned around slowly, and then found that Li Wuji was staring at him with interest.

Old Man Wuji smiled and slowly came to the front of Li Wuji.

"Your Excellency..."

"I know you have a lot of questions in your mind right now, but this is not the place to talk, there are still many pairs of eyes around here, leave first."

Li Wuji was just about to ask, but was softly interrupted by the old man Wuji.

Li Wuji smiled and nodded, swallowed all the words that came to his mouth, invited the old man Wuji to get into his carriage, turned around, and returned all the way to the capital.

...

Cloud Palace.

"Let's all go down first."

The empress, who was sorting out the recital, glanced at the corner of the main hall, hesitated for a moment, and said in a deep voice to the people in the main hall.

Hearing the empress's order, everyone saluted and slowly withdrew from the main hall.

"The result?"

Immediately afterward, the empress asked casually while looking down at the recital.

As soon as the words fell, the black-robed man slowly walked out of the corner.

"Yue Lingyao has already left the Purple Maple Forest and returned to the Lingyao Sword Sect."

The black-robed man bowed respectfully and replied.

"Li'anhou is dead?!"

When the empress heard this, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, both surprised and regretful.

"No, not only is he not dead, but he is still very good."

The black-robed man replied with a shake of his head.

"What's going on? Who wins and who loses?! ”

The empress was instantly interested and asked curiously.

"The two fought dozens of moves without winning or losing, but they had a slight upper hand with Anhou, and forced out the strongest Yue Lingyao, but at the critical moment, the appearance of a person changed everything and prevented the decisive battle between the two."

The black-robed man paused for a moment, and said in a somewhat solemn voice.

"Who?!"

The empress asked in a deep voice.

"Sect Master of Wuji Sect, Old Man Wuji!"

The black-robed man said solemnly.

"The first sect in the world?!"

Hearing the black-robed man's answer, the empress couldn't help but show a shocked face, and muttered to herself.

"Your Majesty must not have imagined that Li Anhou is actually the personal disciple of Old Man Wuji, and has been chosen by Old Man Wuji as the successor of the next sect master!"

The black-robed man continued to add.

Hearing the words of the black-robed man, the empress stood up directly in shock and looked at the black-robed man in disbelief.

"Your Majesty didn't hear it wrong, and his subordinates didn't expect that he was actually the descendant of Old Man Wuji."

The black-robed man smiled bitterly and said slowly.

Since Li Wuji was born in the capital, I don't know how many people have secretly investigated his identity, but the results are often just a drop in the ocean, nothing can be found, and no one knows where he came from.

But after today, the identity of the future sect master of the Wuji Sect, the disciple of the old man Wuji, will definitely shock the world.

"Backed by the first sect in the world, no wonder he acts so flamboyantly on weekdays, regardless of the consequences!"

"This is indeed beyond my expectations!"

The empress sighed with emotion, and at the same time inadvertently fell into contemplation, and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"Your Majesty, there is one more thing..."

The black-robed man hesitated, with a slight hesitation.

"Say!"

The empress turned her head to look at the black-robed man and said expectantly.

She couldn't guess what surprises Li Wuji would bring to her!

"The reason why Li Anhou has a slight upper hand today is because of the weapon in his hand!"

"He has a sword, a sword sealed in a rosewood sword box, and that sword, Your Majesty has seen with his own eyes, has sunk into the cliff under Qilin Mountain!"

The black-robed man took a deep breath and spoke eloquently.

"Sword of the Son of Heaven?!"

After hearing this, the empress's eyes widened in surprise again.

The reluctance to look back on the past fifteen years ago flashed in her mind again.

"The sword of the first emperor has reappeared in the world, I don't know if it is good or evil, do you want your subordinates to find a way to take it back?"

The black-robed man hesitated for a moment and asked tentatively.

"Not necessarily!"

"Since the Sword of the Son of Heaven disappeared in Qilin Mountain fifteen years ago, let's let it disappear forever."

"You don't know anything, and I don't hear anything."

The empress waved her hand, with a strange smile on the corner of her mouth, and said thoughtfully.

"My subordinates understand."

The black-robed man bowed and replied seriously.

"Find a way to find out whether the relationship between Li Anhou and Wuji Sect is true."

The empress pondered and said slowly.

"Yes."

The black-robed man agreed and left slowly.

The empress hesitated for a moment, and began to pace slowly in the hall, the smile on the corner of her mouth becoming more and more weird.

For her, one Wuji Sect and three Lingyao Sword Sects combined could not be compared.

...

Yan Yuwei.

In the Commander's Office.

Lan Zhan hid in a dark room, standing in front of a tablet with a respectful face, his face was solemn, and there was a trace of nervousness between his eyebrows.

That is Cheng Zifeng's spiritual position!

And what he is nervous about is the safety of Wuji.

He hopes to win because he wants to avenge his father-in-law with his own hands.

Just then, footsteps sounded outside the door, followed by two soft knocks.

Lan Zhan closed the dark compartment where the spiritual position was placed, and quickly turned around and came to the door.

"Who won?!"

Looking at his subordinates who came back to recover, Lan Zhan held his breath and asked nervously.

"No winner or loser, Yue Lingyao has already left the capital."

The subordinate bowed and said respectfully.

"He's not dead?! That's great! ”

After hearing this, Lan Zhan couldn't help but smile on his face, and said with a sigh of relief.

But the face of the man at the door was not good-looking.

"What's wrong?"

After Lan Zhan was excited, he couldn't help but ask.

"General, even Yue Lingyao is not an opponent of Anhou, it can be seen that this person is unfathomable, with us, I am afraid it will be difficult to avenge General Cheng."

He replied solemnly.

"Even so, General Ben will not give up easily! Even if it's death! ”

Lan Zhan gritted his teeth and said fiercely, he couldn't help but think of the tragic end of the Cheng clan.

"Also, Li'an Hou actually has the sword of the Son of Heaven that has long disappeared! He is also a disciple of the first sect in the world, Wuji Sect, and he is also a personal disciple of the old man Wuji! ”

"Moreover, he has been chosen by the old man Wuji as the heir of the next Wuji Sect Master!"

The subordinates looked at Lan Zhan weakly, and slowly confided out the unfinished words.

Hearing this, Lan Zhan's determined expression just now had unconsciously froze on his face, his eyes widened in amazement, and he was stunned in place...
