A figure sped off towards Mount Hua.
That hurried figure,
He looked just like an old father who was worried sick about his children.
.........
Inside the Imperial Kitchen of the Song Dynasty Imperial Palace.
"Hmm? The Mount Hua Sword Tournament?"
"Alas, the old beggar is going to go hungry for a while longer; he probably won't be able to enjoy these delicacies."
Hong Qigong casually tossed the chicken bone aside.
He sucked on his shiny, oily fingers.
He sighed reluctantly.
He glanced one last time at the table laden with delicacies.
Then he turned and left.
In the shadows where no one could see,
A pair of eyes silently watched his retreating figure.
..........
Da Qin, Xianyang Palace.
"This guy holds a grudge."
After listening to Zhang Han's report, Ying Zheng shook his head and chuckled.
He remembered clearly,
The Battle of Wudang Mountain back then,
The Shaolin Temple of the Great Song Dynasty even sent a terrestrial immortal to cause trouble.
They had assumed that Ximen Yu had let them go.
I never expected to be waiting here!
Although he had a smile on his face,
But Zhang Han clearly saw the apprehension in the emperor's eyes.
The Azure Dragon Society was inherently fearsome.
Ximen Yu is still so vindictive.
If such a person were an enemy...
That's the scariest thing!
Even if we exert all our strength to defeat their forces,
With Ximen Yu's unfathomable strength,
It could make a comeback at any time.
Who can sleep peacefully?
The Green Dragon Society survived because of Ximen Yu!
Ximen Yu is the soul of the Azure Dragon Society!
As long as he is alive, the Azure Dragon Society will never perish!
Zhang Han felt a chill run down his spine.
He was unpredictable.
If you become enemies with this person.
What strategy can be used to eradicate it?
081 - The Azure Dragon's Might Causes Worry for the Empress
Inside the Phoenix Pavilion in the Great Tang Dynasty.
"My previous decision seems to have been flawed."
Wu Zetian gazed at Shangguan Wan'er, who stood with her head bowed.
A dark cloud gathered between his brows.
The principle that Zhang Han was able to comprehend
How could she, the Empress of Kyushu, not understand?
And the thoughts became even more intense.
Although Ximen Yu was exceptionally powerful in his time,
However, the three dynasties were not without options.
However, just like the strategies used against the Han and Sui dynasties,
They are unwilling to start a war lightly.
If this leads to the Qin and Yuan dynasties reaping the benefits...
This is not a wise move.
It is precisely because of this concern that
Knowing that Ximen Yu was vengeful,
Her mind became increasingly confused.
Why would they care about the might of the Tang Dynasty?
This only benefits neighboring countries;
If you swallow your anger...
What will become of the royal family's dignity?
Caught between a rock and a hard place,
The Empress's phoenix eyes darkened.
.........
"The Tang Emperor will likely be unable to eat or sleep in peace this time!"
Temujin clapped his hands and laughed.
There was a hint of mockery in his smugness.
He had always disliked the empress ruling as regent.
Now, seeing Ximen Yu's conduct and style,
It's hard to forget the news that came a few days ago that the Bad Guys suffered a defeat at the Yihua Palace.
They couldn't help but look forward to the revenge that Simon Yu was about to launch.
The laughter lasted for a long time.
Temujin finally stopped laughing.
He turned his head to look at Si Hanfei beside him.
"Would Uncle Wang be willing to make a trip to the Song Dynasty?"
"This could be an opportunity to contact the Azure Dragon Society and try to establish a connection with Li Bai."
"Moreover, I can see with my own eyes just how interesting his face will be when my uncle takes the elixir from the Song Emperor!"
Although many heroes gathered at the summit of Mount Hua this time.
Perhaps some reclusive old monsters will appear, and there will also be many powerful figures from the Sui Dynasty who serve as his retainers.
But consider Hanfei's abilities.
He remained convinced of this throughout.
Even if we ultimately fail, it doesn't matter.
The primary purpose of this trip was to recruit Li Bai, a master of both poetry and swordsmanship.
If we could bring them under our control.
What is a mere two-thousand-year-old elixir worth?
What is particularly important is...
The Heavenly Ranking has been revealed.
He had long understood Li Bai's flamboyant nature.
A golden opportunity to display one's prowess before the heroes of the world, like the Mount Hua Sword Tournament.
How could that banished immortal miss it?
There's absolutely no need to deliberately seek out the Azure Dragon Society to meet the real person!
"Why not?"
Si Hanfei stroked his beard and chuckled lightly.
He had obviously thought of this as well, and immediately agreed.
A burning fighting spirit ignited in his eyes at the same time.
It has been many years since I have had a proper fight with anyone.
This old man is indeed getting restless.
"Excellent! I wish you, my lord, swift success!"
"When my uncle returns in triumph, I will certainly hold a banquet to welcome him."
Temujin clapped his hands and laughed.
..........
Similar schemes were also staged during the Ming, Song, and Qing dynasties.
However, compared to Temujin's mockery...
These three emperors felt nothing but deep dread!
Ximen Yu's unscrupulous behavior.
That's truly terrifying!
Emperor Huizong of Song, Zhao Ji, had this scheme.
It also planted a seed in their hearts.
If I were to also offer a two-thousand-year-old medicinal herb...
This idea grew wildly in the emperor's mind like weeds.
They each fell into deep thought, silently weighing the pros and cons.
.........
The Great Song Dynasty, the ancient Shaolin Temple.
The outside world was in an uproar.
The temple was eerily quiet.
Inside the main hall, the air seemed to freeze, creating a suffocating atmosphere.
One figure after another stepped into the hall, their gazes all falling on that one figure.
Xuan Ci closed his eyes slightly, his expression calm, as if none of the disturbances in the outside world could disturb his mind.
Once everyone had gathered, he slowly spoke, his voice low and calm.
"Have you all come here to question this old monk?"
