Frostless City became famous after it resisted the long-lasting attack from the Dongqin Kingdom.
So did General Chen Potian, who managed to defend the city.
He was previously known for his recklessness. It was not until this battle that people finally understood that it took more than audacity to be a famous general.
However, since Zhongwu was forced to abandon the city, his story also became a legend.
It was said that shortly after Zhongwu retreated to the Xichu Kingdom, they were forced to flee again because of some conflicts with the Xichu Kingdom. This time they fled to the great grassland in the Nantang Kingdom.
The grassland was sparsely populated and in need of the population. The Nantang Kingdom thus gave them permission to temporarily stay in a designated area.
Time passed, and they figured the odds to restore their own country were against them. Thus they all joined the Nantang Kingdom, be
Green Willow Manor, surrounded by mountains and rivers, looked like what its name suggested.It was a medium-size village with fifty to sixty households. The houses were arranged in a neat and organized way. With the rising smoke from the kitchen chimneys, the serenity of the countryside was even more emphasized.Mountains and rivers formed tranquil surroundings, making this place an untouched paradise compared with the busy Frostless City.It was late autumn, and only bold branches were left on the weeping willows by the rivers. Many evergreens were planted on the mountains, providing an everlasting greenness all season around.The stream down the mountain was clear. The gentle flows sometimes turned into torrents. Seldom could some ducks be seen playing in the water.Being the most powerful family in Green Willow Manor, the Landlord Liu’s family had a manor located right in the middle of Green Willow Manor, su
It was a dark and windy night.It was said that a dark night was for killing and a windy night was for setting the fire.The eighteen men in black came here at night precisely for these businesses.They planned to break into the rooms through the windows at the same time and waged their attack. Whether it succeeded or not, they would retreat at once and set the fire before leaving.The autumn wind blew fiercely. It would definitely aggravate the fire in Green Willow Manor once the fire was set.To their dismay, the reality did not go with their plan.They were already exposed, and this plan could no longer be carried out.When the four people jumped from the four corners and started attacking them, they felt trapped in an invisible net.Although there were only four enemies, their sword force entwined and covered all eighteen of them.They had nowhere to escape.
"It is understandable that Youming Sect makes trouble with us. After all, there have been a few confrontations and some private grievances between us. In addition, we are currently in full swing, so we are also their first target to deal with. If we were accidentally assassinated, who else would dare to provoke them in the martial arts community then?"Mu Qianmei analyzed and said."Although these 18 people have unexpected ideas, they are not formidable. There is still a big gap between them and the people in our Isolated Star. If people in Isolated Star had not been dispatched tonight, they wouldn't have been in Green Willow Manor, and how would Situ Changxiao have underestimated our strength so much?"Feng Tianyu expressed his doubts."Maybe it was just an unexpected test. We didn't have any precautions, which allowed them to come into the inner yard. Judging from their familiarity with Green Willow Manor, there may alread
The sky turned red when the sun rose.The morning in deep autumn was cold. Mu Qianmei looked at the outside through the window. Everything was white. The woods, the roof, and the ground were covered with frost.She sat at the window, looked at the scenery outside, and sunk in thought.Faint hot breath came out from between her little red lips. She seemed to have so many thoughts.She looked as if she had been enjoying the scenery, but her eyes were wandering, brimming with bewilderment.Her thought had flown to the distant past across time and space.That was also a cold morning. Everything was dyed white with autumn frost.Almost everything was white except the maple leaves in the West Hill of Dream City. They were more scarlet than spring blooms, sweeping the hill like wildfire.At that time, she was not enjoying the maple leaves alone on the West Hill. A gentle and mild
When Mu Qianmei and Liu Tingfeng came out, Feng Tianyu, Ouyang Bo, and Liu Rudong had gone to the hall with Ximen Family.Ximen Yixiao was talking with a smile. He said,"Old beggar, we have abandoned struggle for several decades, do you make progress?""Such a martial mania, you are over a decade but still as young. You want to compete as soon as we meet. I do not have the energy to play with you."Feng Tianyu answered with a smile."Then what about you, old Taoist priest? I have always wanted to ask for advice on your Celestial Swordsmanship. You have avoided it every time. You see that we finally meet again. This time I don’t want to hide. Every time I think I've seen it all, but I feel very sorry that this Celestial Swordsmanship has not been officially played once."Ximen Yixiao turned to Ouyang Bo."Look at my old bone, it is almost impossible for me to walk. How can I still wield
The moment Ximen Yixiao had left, Taoist Priest Tianyi came.They greeted the guest and then welcomed him into the reception room.Although Taoist Priest Tianyi didn't have a white beard, he looked modest and gentle. There was amiability and stateliness in his eyes. He spoke appropriately and walked at a leisurely pace. Still, he showed the demeanor of a man of high capability.Feng Tianyu and Ouyang Bo also accompanied him warmly. They talked about old matters years ago and anecdotes in the martial arts community.They chattered about various topics randomly. Just like Ximen Yixiao, they didn't mention the General Assembly of the Martial Arts Community.After a while, Hua Jinrou, the master of the Wanhua Valley, also led a group of young female disciples to visit.The Green Willow Manor became bustling instantly. Every day guests and visitors filled up the seats and talked cheerfully and humorously
The next day, the people of Beggar Gang got up early to pack up and set out for Frostless Hill after breakfast.On the way to Frostless Hill, people who came to participate in the General Assembly of the Martial Arts Community were everywhere. Big gangs were centralized orderly. They looked grand in the distance.Small gangs or the swordsmen who walked alone in the martial arts community showed different walking postures.Some strolled as if they had been making a sightseeing tour. They looked leisurely and comfortable.Some walked in a hurry and had a fast pace as if they had been afraid that there wouldn't be good seats available if they arrived late.Some walked silently. Some beamed with joy and constantly talked with hands and feet dancing. They looked pretty excited and thrilled.The people of Beggar Gang were neither hasty nor leisurely. They walked at a calm and stable pace, which made them
It was at noon, the first day of October.The sky in autumn was high, and the air was brisk. The sun rode high in the sky. The sunny weather was good.Dongfang Yunfei, in a blue gown, walked at a leisurely pace towards the highest and largest arena in the center of the square. Although he was in his sixties or seventies, he looked energetic and didn't show any sign of a withered state.He showed a slight smile and walked neither quickly nor slowly. He looked calm and leisurely with a natural and smooth manner.After walking to the center of the arena, he stood still and held one clenched fist in the other hand to greet. Then he said in a deep voice,"Rapid changes are taking place on the Yugu Continent. The cults in the martial arts community are reviving. In the special moment of precariousness, it's necessary for us decent gangs in the martial arts community to unite and work together to shoulder the responsib
