At this mont, the moon was white, the wind clear, and the spring evening cool.
This place was none other than the weighty heart of the Imperial Palace, the golden tower.
In the instant that a clear and bright voice resounded, the clashing of weapons and loud shouts erupted from the Imperial Army outside.
However, after the fierce Sword Intent erupted, two figures, one before the other, entered as if no one was there—they had already broken through the door.
The figure of Lu Xiaofeng lightly touched down first.
Following him was a figure in white as cold as snow.
This figure under the sorrowfully dim moonlight seed even whiter than the fog of a moonlit night, whiter than the moon itself.
But the sword he held was even more captivating.
The sword was still sheathed.
The Sword Qi was not emanating from this sword.
Because the person holding the sword was sharper and more formidable than the sword itself.
Xin Chuixue!
Ye Gucheng had already ceased to pay attention to anyone else the mont Xin Chuixue arrived, not even Bai Yujing who was in possession of the Changsheng Sword.
Xin Chuixue, after entering the hall, also first cast his gaze upon Ye Gucheng.
There were definitely people within Fengtian Hall stronger than Ye Gucheng.
But absolutely no one could surpass Ye Gucheng in understanding and wielding a sword.
Not even Bai Yujing with the Changsheng Sword, who even admitted to being inferior.
These two figures, akin to Sword Gods, were fated to et here.
Originally, this should have been the very place where they contended for life and death, the battleground that countless Martial World people were crazed about—the Forbidden Peak.
But this was after all not Forbidden Peak, this was Fengtian Hall.
The battle between these two was not just about swordsmanship, it was fraught with too much power and conspiracy.
The balance inside Fengtian Hall had been broken with the arrival of Xin Chuixue and Lu Xiaofeng.
Lu Xiaofeng might still be the weakest among those present.
But Xin Chuixue, like Ye Gucheng, who had cultivated the Yin God to the Third Realm, was a force no one present could ignore.
"Lu Xiaofeng, you and Xin Chuixue coming here at this ti, could it be you plan to join us in capturing the rebellious madn led by the Black Wind Village Chief?"
Zhu Wushi looked toward Lu Xiaofeng with a gaze of authority and a smile, hands clasped behind his back.
Lu Xiaofeng frowned, shaking his head, and took a few paces.
He looked at the corpse of the Southern King lying on the ground, then toward the Emperor who was sprawled out on the other side along with the bodies of n in black, and couldn’t help but sigh, looking up at the Cold Moon and slowly spoke.
"The human world is full of troubles, all only for the brightness of dawn to dispel the darkness. This Imperial Throne is fought over to the bitter end, yet everyone ets a tragic fate. Iron Gall Divine Hou, do you still not understand?"
Zhu Wushi’s expression darkened, and he nodded coldly, "It seems that you, Lu Xiaofeng, also have a great misunderstanding of this Hou. But this Hou is willing to give you another chance, you and Xin Chuixue..."
"Shut up!"
Xin Chuixue interrupted Zhu Wushi coldly, his sword-like gaze piercing Iron Gall Divine Hou, "My sword is wielded only for myself. You are not worthy to command as your sword."
Zhu Wushi’s gaze narrowed and then he turned to look slowly at the old eunuch and Bai Yujing, "Now that the traitors are gathered, will you two side with this Hou to capture these rebellious madn, or will you sit and watch from the sidelines?"
"As if you could handle these thorny folks all by yourself!"
The old eunuch snorted coldly. His venomous gaze first warily glanced at Jiang Dali, whose wounds had already healed, then at Xiao Feng and Lu Xiaofeng, and said, "Those two over there, my family could deal with.
As for the Black Wind Village Chief, Iron Gall Divine Hou, whether you can capture him depends if your courage is truly as ironclad as you claim!"
With that, the old eunuch looked at Xin Chuixue and Ye Gucheng, his brow slowly furrowing, feeling a bout of headache.
He was already heavily injured and not yet recovered; if Xin Chuixue were to join in, it wasn’t that there was no chance, but it would be extrely dangerous.
And Zhu Wushi may not truly be so loyal; he had to keep his guard up.
Otherwise, if he were to fall,
Should Zhu Wushi truly wish to harm the Emperor, with only Cao Zhengchun, whose whereabouts were unknown, it would surely be impossible to stop him.
Clearly,
Wanting to completely capture this group of people was now utterly impossible.
Even the slightest misstep could scatter the whole situation.
After all, with an additional Xin Chuixue, Bai Yujing of the Changsheng Sword simply could not contain both Ye Gucheng and Xin Chuixue simultaneously.
As for the vast numbers of the Imperial Army outside, they were a joke.
To these supre swordsn of the Heavenly Human Realm, the number of people mattered little.
Unless they were surrounded at the very mont when they were utterly exhausted, otherwise it was of no avail.
The old eunuch’s only hope now was that Ye Gucheng and Xin Chuixue, these two "blockhead" swordsn, would start fighting each other first; otherwise, it would be difficult to maintain an absolute advantage in the situation.
Zhu Wushi very clearly understood the current circumstances as well.
His gaze lightly shifted to Xin Chuixue and Ye Gucheng, "You two are the top swordsn of this era. The battle at Forbidden Peak was your idea. Now, will it be here you cross swords, or will this Hou personally make a move."
Xin Chuixue spoke coldly, "You are very arrogant."
Zhu Wushi said seriously, "It’s not arrogance, but this Hou, bearing a guilty conscience, has a reason to take action!
Of course, this Hou is not soone who destroys beauty needlessly. When two unparalleled swordsn clash, it will beco a legend in the Martial World. This Hou can wait for you to fight before making his move to capture you both!"
Anyone could see Iron Gall Divine Hou’s intentions in these words; he wanted Ye Gucheng and Xin Chuixue to fight each other until both were hurt, resolving the issue with no effort.
Only a fool would agree to such terms.
But Lu Xiaofeng’s expression changed, and he imdiately looked at Xin Chuixue to interject, "Don’t be fooled!"
