Facing these memorial tablets, Xu Fengnian huddled in a corner, trembling. No matter how passionate Xu Xiao was, he simply couldn't listen.
"When I first started out as a cavalryman, I had hundreds of brothers under my command, but they were all murdered by a mere captain, leaving only forty-odd men..."
"Later, he led troops to attack Dongyue, but his entire army was wiped out by Wang Sui, the son-in-law of Dongyue, and he went to Tai'an City alone to seek help..."
"Temporary honor or disgrace is nothing; only those who have the last laugh are the heroes..."
Xu Xiao spoke for over an hour, but Xu Fengnian remained utterly despondent, showing no fighting spirit whatsoever.
Wudang Mountain.
The great news of the struggle between the two kings has spread throughout the land.
Wudang Mountain is located in Lingzhou and is a martial arts sect that is affiliated with Beiliang. Xu Fengnian's Great Yellow Court was passed down to him by the sect leader Wang Chonglou.
At this moment, Wang Chonglou was sitting opposite Hong Xixiang.
"The world was never peaceful to begin with, and now that the Tang King has risen to power, the situation has become even more complicated. We have the Northern Liang behind us, but it seems that our position may not be secure now."
Wang Chonglou had lost his internal energy; his hair and beard were completely white, and he had lost all his vitality.
There aren't many masters in Wudang. There's only one, Wang Xiaoping, who is at the Xuanjing level, but she has a pure heart and is a martial arts fanatic.
Hong Xixiang said calmly, "Senior Brother, once a decision is made in the mortal world, there is no going back. Since you decided to join Beiliang back then, you must bear the consequences."
"Moreover, the fortune of Beiliang is not weaker than that of Liyang. Judging from the weather in Beiliang, it has not completely declined yet, and there may be strong reinforcements coming."
Hong Xixiang never practiced martial arts, but he was the reincarnation of Lü Zu, so Wang Chonglou believed him without a doubt.
This seemingly slovenly junior brother cultivates the Heavenly Dao, not the narrow Daoist sect. Given the right opportunity, he could even ascend to heaven in one step!
"Six months later, the princess of Beiliang married Li Chang'an."
Hong Xixiang's seemingly casual posture suddenly stiffened, and his expression became unnatural.
"If the princess is willing, I can only offer my blessings in my heart."
Although the young Taoist said this, a sense of injustice suddenly rose in his heart, making him unable to calm down for a long time.
He didn't know why the woman in red held such a significant place in his heart.
Hong Xixiang's concern for Xu Zhihu seemed to be ingrained in his very bones, and he could not suppress it at all.
Wang Chonglou sighed softly, "Since you can observe the weather, Junior Brother, could you also discern Li Chang'an's fortune?"
Hong Xixiang said, "This person is a major variable. In the past two or three years, the fortune of the northwest Shazhou direction has become increasingly strong."
"I now suspect that Li Chang'an is good at observing people's luck and has gathered people with good luck around him."
In fact, Li Chang'an was simply prescient. Jiang Ni and Huyan Guanyin, who were both blessed with great fortune, were both kept by Li Chang'an's side.
Hong Xixiang is still unaware of the impact that allowing Xu Zhihu to marry Li Chang'an would have on him.
However, he vaguely felt that an uncontrollable force within him was slowly awakening.
The border between Northern Mang and Youzhou, where Chen Zhibao stationed his troops.
A powerful aura soared into the sky, enveloping the entire border region in auspicious clouds, and a general clad in armor and a white robe rose into the air.
Chen Zhibao stood on white clouds, his plum wine spear radiating earth-shattering energy.
Since taking over as the heir apparent of Northern Liang, Chen Zhibao's cultivation has progressed by leaps and bounds, and he has actually broken through to the level of a terrestrial immortal.
Huang Sanjia dispersed the imperial court's fortune into the martial world, which weakened the imperial court and caused turmoil in the martial world.
This era is destined to produce a large number of terrestrial immortals.
Li Chang'an continuously accumulated good fortune, and his army defeated Beiliang. Li Chungang failed to open the Heavenly Gate and was defeated by Li Chang'an.
After these two major events, the fortunes of the entire world began to be redistributed and circulated.
Chen Zhibao closed his eyes tightly, feeling the impact of the powerful internal energy within his body, and could not hide his joy.
"It seems I should take over Northern Liang!"
"If I had known that luck would be so kind to me, I would not have been so timid and hesitant all these years."
"Now that the Land Immortal Realm has been achieved, let's first make Li Chang'an spit out what he swallowed from Beiliang!"
On the frontier, countless Northern Liang soldiers were moved to tears. Who said that Northern Liang's fate was sealed? If the fate was sealed, how could a child possibly break through to become a terrestrial immortal!
Even Xu Yanbing hadn't broken through, but the Crown Prince had already done so!
"The White-Clad Military God! The Crown Prince is truly a Military God!"
Several miles away on a hilltop, a woman in white looked curiously toward the border.
This woman had crimson and purple eyes, and each step she took covered hundreds of feet. She was not only a terrestrial immortal, but also a powerful one.
"The Northern Liang is indeed fortunate, as it has given birth to another terrestrial immortal."
This woman is none other than the number one figure of the Northern Wilderness Demonic Path, Princess Tomb, and Luoyang.
At the same time, she was also the empress of the Great Qin Dynasty eight hundred years ago and the fourteenth leader of the Zhulu Mountain sect.
The world's fortunes have changed dramatically. After regaining his memories, Luoyang has fought a series of great battles and has now recovered his cultivation as a terrestrial immortal.
Chen Zhibao's breakthrough is nothing noteworthy for Luoyang.
Her target was Xu Fengnian, who had been ousted from his position as heir apparent, and who was the reincarnation of the Qin Emperor from eight hundred years ago.
Luoyang came here because her cultivation had been restored and she had learned the whereabouts of her husband from her previous life.
"I will settle all the scores you have accumulated in my past life!"
Chapter 229 When you bow your head, you can't see your feet; that is the most beautiful woman in the world!
Luoyang has lived for eight hundred years and is now the great demon who slaughtered his way through the Northern Barbarians.
Among the people she killed were those from righteous and demonic paths, as well as many innocent civilians who had glanced at her.
The deputy mountain master of Tibing Mountain, the old monk who swept away the withered leaves at Caifo Cave, and the direct lineage master of the Daode Sect were all killed without leaving a complete corpse.
A ruthless killer, a man who kills without blinking an eye—that's the White-Clad Demon, Luoyang!
She had lived for too long; the lives of ordinary people held absolutely no meaning for her.
Eight hundred years ago, Luoyang poisoned the Qin Emperor's most beloved concubine, a fox spirit. The Qin Emperor then wanted to order her death and refused to allow Luoyang to be buried with him.
However, the Qin Emperor left the elixir of immortality in Luoyang's tomb, allowing Luoyang to live forever.
Luoyang hates the Qin Emperor, hates him for falling in love with someone else, hates him for not even giving her the chance to be buried with him.
However, the reason she could live forever was because the Qin Emperor still had feelings for her.
Even more dramatically, Luoyang became an immortal demon, which was sealed away by a Taoist priest four hundred years later.
That Taoist priest was the reincarnation of the Qin Emperor, and also Xu Fengnian's previous life.
Therefore, Luoyang's description of her entanglement with the Qin Emperor as a tragic tale is truly fitting.
A renowned expert told Luoyang that the reincarnation of the Qin Emperor was Xu Fengnian, the heir of the Northern Liang. Upon hearing the news, she rushed over immediately.
I had assumed that this prince of Northern Liang would be a dashing figure, with a harem of wives and concubines, a true dragon among men.
However, the news she heard after entering Beiliang was completely different.
With Li Chungang gone from Tingchao Pavilion, Luoyang easily descended to the third underground level.
In a corner opposite the more than 600 memorial tablets, Xu Fengnian stood with a vacant look in his eyes, completely drunk.
With his disheveled long hair, messy stubble, and haggard, sunken face, it was hard for Luoyang to associate this man with the ambitious and talented Qin Emperor.
The woman in white approached Xu Fengnian and stared at the man in front of her, lost in thought.
"You... have actually fallen so low..."
During the reign of Emperor Qin, some people calculated that he was the reincarnation of a powerful immortal, and that he was an outstanding person in every life.
Therefore, when Luoyang came to take revenge, they also intended to kill this young master in one fell swoop.
But seeing Xu Fengnian like this, Luo Yang's heart was instantly thrown into turmoil.
Xu Fengnian saw the woman in white flowing robes and then rubbed his eyes hard.
"Little clay figure...it doesn't seem right...there's no woman as beautiful as you in the Prince's mansion...hehe!"
Seeing that the erratic Xu Fengnian didn't recognize him, Luo Yang felt a pang of displeasure.
She then shook her head. Without the cultivation of an Earth Immortal, how could she awaken her past life memories? She had only ever hoped for that.
She hoped that Xu Fengnian could restore the Qin Emperor's memories and continue the romance from eight hundred years ago.
However, she could not tolerate the fact that the Qin Emperor had ordered her to commit suicide back then. She both loved and hated him, and her emotions were complicated.
The Xu Fengnian in front of him knew nothing; he was just a down-on-his-luck man.
"He was captured twice and couldn't even keep his position as crown prince. It's really pitiful to think about."
"If I hadn't come, you might have died a pathetic death. It's just fate playing tricks on us."
"Now that I'm here, I have a way to help you advance to the level of a terrestrial immortal as quickly as possible. You'd better die knowing why!"
As if by some strange twist of fate, Luo Yang actually let go of her killing intent, or rather, her killing intent never overpowered her feelings.
Xu Fengnian looked at the rambling woman in front of him and couldn't help but sneer, "A terrestrial immortal? Are you kidding me... I'm just a cripple."
