The Leader of the Shushan faction, Bai Jingxue, laughed derisively after listening to Xu Pingjing. "You people from Zhongnan Mountain chose Zhu Wen in the hopes of supporting his bid for hegemony. Now, however, Li Ye has taken sole credit for quelling the rebellion, and it's already a given that the emperor will reward him handsomely after returning to Chang'an. His power will be amplified."
"I heard that the emperor has already appointed Zhu Wen as Xuanwu commissioner of Bianzhou. Bianzhou is situated at the heart of the Central Plains and connected to Ji River along with Pinglu. Li Ye will be able to launch an expedition to Bianzhou after returning to Pinglu if there's any unexpected movement from Zhu Wen. How will Zhu Wen be able to defend that? Also, this is the matter of Zhongnan Mountain's concern. What does it have to do with us?"
Wu Jinling, the leader of Xuelu, and Wang Sanxian, the leader of Dongting Lake, smiled but remained silent after hearin
The abbot of Juexiao Temple raised his sceptre. Li Ye's expression turned stern. The gold rays from the sceptre were too bright and engulfed everything else. They kept emanating from the sceptre, and looked like a flowing stream of light. This was a technique that Li Ye had never seen before. There were many differences between both worlds. Not only did the Buddhists follow a different path of progression, but they also used methods that Li Ye had never witnessed or heard of. However, he did not hesitate, and he did not stop moving. The Luke Sword had already appeared in his hand by now. At this moment, Huineng and the other three monks at Kong Kim Realm charged toward Li Ye from different angles, seemingly to buy time for Fa Yi. Li Ye had noticed acutely that there was a terrifying aura contained with the stream of gold light emanating from the scepter, as if an extremely dangerous being was about to appear in the skies. Various huge Guardi
Li Ye followed the official path. He looked as if he was walking slowly, but in actual fact, he was covering a distance of 90 meters with each step. He shot quickly past the greenery along both sides of the path, and the mountains far away in his horizon continued to retreat. A cool breeze blew across his face, and he felt at peace with himself. Suddenly, Li Ye stopped. In front of him, along the official path, in the plains, and on the hills, stood 18 men in the cool night wind. All of them were monks dressed in white. They looked like spirits that had appeared out of thin air or sculptures that had been erected a long time ago. It did not matter what sort of aura they possessed, however. There could only be one reason for their appearance—to stop Li Ye from traveling further west. Or rather, they were here to send him west to Paradise. Li Ye took a step forward. The dirt on the ground where his fee
When Li Ye went west to Fengxiang, he ordered the Black Office experts to follow suit to act as reinforcements for Shangguan Qingcheng. They would head directly to Chencang to link up with Li Yan. Li Ye was moving at a greater speed then Song Jiao and the Black Office experts, and they were not using the same route. After many years of progress, the Black Office had gathered a huge amount of experts and created its own lethal formation. If Song Jiao directed their attack, they could even deal with experts of the Spiritual Master Realm. It was not much use for them to follow Li Ye, as he was facing opponents of Guardian Deity Realm. They would be of greater use if they linked up with Li Yan instead. Li Ye had expected his path to be fraught with obstacles. If this was true, the Black Office experts would have to protect Li Yan sufficiently until he reached Chencang. This would prevent the Buddhists from realizing any other sinister plots, for example assas
Just at that moment, the big Arhat was shocked and about to attack. But someone had attacked before him. It was of course Li Ye. Li Ye had seen the opportunity. The big Arhat had already entered his attacking range first before he was about to enter the big Arhat's attacking range. Li Ye did not hesitate, the rune on his Luke Sword was glistening, so he suddenly made a backward attack. The move was the Sword Method of 'Step-by-step lotus'. Now the Arhat formation had been completely shattered. For Li Ye, the thirty-six Arhats that came up were only thirty-six ordinary Kong Kim Realm men. Without the support of the Arhat formation, Li Ye had no concerns at all. Li Ye's Sword Method of "Purple Clouds from the East" was not something a bunch of disjointed cultivators of the same realm could withstand. the moment Li Ye made the reverse attack, the big Arhat felt a sense of danger, and he trembled all over. Seeing Li Y
Somewhere in Fengxiang on a mountain peak, several monks in red robes were standing facing the moon. The person in front was big and fat with a kind face, as if he were wearing a perpetual smile. He was wearing a thirty-six bead Buddhist bracelet on his wrist, and there a hundred and eight golden beads on his cassock. The golden thread around his cassock was two hundred and six inches in length. This robe clearly showed that he was the head of the thirty-six temples in the Western Region and abbot of the Gold Mountain Big Snow Temple, Tian Luo. On the flat land below the mountain peak, there were eight hundred monks sitting cross-legged, those were Warrior Monks from the thirty-sixth temples of the Western Region. On the steep and rugged mountain path, a white-browed monk in white robes climbed up the stairs. His past wasn't fast, but it didn't take long for him to reach the top of the mountain. Tian Luo turned back and met wit
"There are countless Taoist temples in the Tang Empire, and every temple site is a small fortune place under the coverage of the big fortune place in the Divine Land. In all directions of the Divine Land, there are East Penglai, West Shushan, North Xuelu, South Dongting, and Center Zhongnan, these sites are known as the five small fortune places of the Divine Land of Shenzhou. These places are popular among the masses, also in keeping with the Great Tao and where all the Luck congregates. Thus it is said that the five Great Tao Taoist sects are greater than the sum of the tens of thousands of Taoist temples." Xu Pingjing stood with his hands clasped behind his back, and continued to add, "The five sects have occupied five great fortune lands separately. So it is expected that they thrive in the world. However, with such blessings, the five sects should naturally share the Immortal Court's burdens. The most important thing is to guard the Tang Empire and protect the sta
The arhats followed. But none of them dared to leave the line and chased him at full speed. Because Li Ye ran away like this more than once. After the initial melee, Li Ye fought quickly and decisively, and then he left immediately. He never gave the arhats a chance to besiege him. Relying on his speed, he launched a guerrilla war with the arhats. "We can't let him run away, or we'll be punished!" The fifth and the sixth arhats were worried and hurried to speed up as they saw Li Ye opening the distance. This was a dead end. Because of Li Ye's speed, it would be impossible for them to catch up with him, if they didn't speed up. But if they were able to catch up with him, they would die. However, the arhats had to chase him. Li Ye jumped off a cliff and disappeared in front of the fifth and the sixth arhats. "No!" "There is a thick forest and a big river under the cliff. Don't let him escape with the h
Chencang. The busy traveling emperor was drifting from place to place, so he wouldn't feel much better than ordinary people. But now, Li Yan was in a good mood because he was going back to Chang'an, the capital, and the capital was controlled by Li Ye. Prince An's memorial showed that he was ready to welcome him back to the capital. Not only was the Imperial Palace cleaned up, but there were also 100,000 Pinglu soldiers to keep him safe. Li Yan got up very early today because he didn't sleep well at all last night. From Chengdu to Chencang, the journey was tiring. But it was dispelled by the joy of returning to Chang'an. Li Yan was so excited that he was awake all night. Fengxiang was adjacent to Chang'an. If he arrived at Fengxiang, could Chang'an be far behind? There was no doubt that it was not far at all. Arriving at Fengxiang was no different from arriving at Chang'an. The sun rose from the eaves. Holding a wine cup in his
