Chapter 167 Everyone Dies

It was a very ordinary knife.

Normally, even a random blacksmith shop in Great Zhou would be able to find such a saber.

The blade was mottled, and there were still some gaps on the blade, but it was obvious that someone had taken care of it carefully, wiping it until it was snow white and almost spotless. There was a red thread wrapped around the hilt of the sword. From the color of the red thread, it was not difficult to guess that the red thread seemed to have been used for a long time. The color on the outer part had already faded.

Obviously, this was indeed a very ordinary and even worn-out saber.

However, it was precisely this saber that shook the lintel of that high and mighty immortal.

Of course, in the memories of everyone present, especially those who had lived long enough.

This was not the first time the knife had done such a thing.

It has a name that does not correspond to its appearance.

Morning and evening.

At the same time, it also had a master that did not correspond to this name.

Mo Bei Dao Wang Yuan returned to the dragon.

…

The main hall of the World-saving Palace was silent for a long time, and everyone fell silent at that moment.

They looked at the long saber that had almost cut off the head of the immortal, and they were dazed. This scene was still too shocking for them.

This silence lasted for dozens of breaths.

The long saber inserted into the wooden pillar beside Sikong Bai suddenly seemed to have received some kind of summon. The saber that had just stopped trembling once again, and then a saber cry rose. At that moment, the long saber turned into a streak of light and fled towards the distant horizon.

Everything happened so abruptly, as if it had appeared.

When the crowd finally regained their senses, the traces of the saber had disappeared. If it wasn't for the pale face of the old man on the platform and the strand of white hair that had landed on the stage, the crowd wouldn't have been able to help but suspect whether this was really happening or if it was just an illusion.

"I wonder if this old man can set up this marriage for the Young Manor Master with this saber strike." At this moment, Mr. Lu's voice sounded again.

At this moment, no one dared to doubt the power of the Tian Ce Mansion. No matter how many years it had been silent, and no matter what kind of criticism it had experienced, the Tian Ce Mansion was still the Tian Ce Mansion. It was far from a place that they could wantonly speculate or pry into.

The saber clearly showed this to the crowd.

Sikong Bai sat up. He tried his best to make his movements look relaxed, freehand and invisible. However, the elegance of that saber strike was still vivid in everyone's eyes, so no matter how careful he was, his appearance was still hooked up with the word "sorry" in the eyes of the crowd.

Sitting upright, Sikong Bai finally regained his senses from the previous incident. At that time, he took a deep breath and looked at Mr. Lu with a calm gaze.

"This old man has experienced Tiance Prefecture's abilities." As he said this, his voice was so low that it sounded as if he had crossed eighteen levels of the Abyss Ghost Purgatory before arriving at this place from beneath the Netherworld Yellow Springs.

There was indeed unwillingness in his heart.

No matter what, the Tian Ce Mansion was now firmly under the control of the Tian Ce Mansion. Back then, the Headmaster was unable to defeat the Tian Ce Mansion 's Tian Ce Mansion. Now that the Headmaster was nowhere to be found, he did not believe that the Tian Ce Mansion could turn the world around with just Xu Han. Moreover, compared to the Tian Ce Mansion, he had the same goal as the Long Night Division, so he was more willing to cooperate with the Long Night Division. However, the strength displayed by the Ce Manor today made it difficult for him to erase this matter…

He opened his mouth at that moment, about to say something.

"What a Tiance Prefecture, what a Yuan Guilong." However, right at this moment, the black-robed Zhu Long finally took a step forward and walked to the front of the hall.

He clapped his hands, and clear applause echoed in the hall.

His appearance was still wrapped under his hood, and his voice was as dry and hoarse as ever, like the dead branches and leaves that had been trampled off in the rainforest.

Mr. Lu's eyes narrowed at that moment.

"Your Excellency has been hiding like an ant mouse for nine years. I didn't expect that you would dare to appear in front of everyone's eyes. This old man is truly amazing." Mr. Lu said in a calm voice. Obviously, it wasn't hard to tell from his words that he knew the true identity of this black-robed man.

Hearing this, the black-robed man shook his head, ignoring the mockery in Mr. Lu's words.

"Although I don't understand how Commander Yuan managed to survive that man's palm strike back then, I believe Mr. Lu is very clear about one thing. Commander Yuan can swing this saber once, but not twice." As soon as the black-robed man finished speaking, Sikong Bai raised his eyebrows, as if he had thought of something. His body suddenly trembled, and his gaze turned cold again.

"How can I see it?" Mr. Lu frowned.

'"Mr. Lu knows what Commander Yuan's temperament is. I also know who he hates the most in this world. I think I can make it into the top three no matter what. If it was based on Commander Yuan's temperament at that time, I estimated that my head had just landed on the ground. But now that I'm still alive, isn't that enough to explain the problem?" The black robe seemed to be smiling. The smell of corruption wrapped around the voice caused everyone present to frown slightly.

"Really? Then do you dare to bet with this old man?" Mr. Lu asked. His pupils suddenly dilated at that moment, and his voice suddenly rose a little. "Gongsun Ming!!!"

Gongsun Ming?

The moment this name was spoken, everyone present was shocked, and their expressions changed as they looked at the black-robed man.

What a notorious name it is.

Ever since the destruction of the Animal Husbandry King Sect, countless righteous warriors in the world wanted to get rid of it as soon as possible.

There were too many people who wanted to kill him, but none of them had.

He was a very cautious person. Back then, after leading the Mu King's insurgency, this former Greedy Wolf Tribe's Imperial Envoy disappeared without a trace. No one was able to find him. However, he didn't expect that he would actually appear at the Exquisite Pavilion's Dao Discussion Conference at this moment.

Even amongst the people present, there were many who had received the kindness of the Shepherd King back then. However, when Gongsun Ming appeared in front of them, they lost the courage to make a move. After all, Gongsun Ming was the lieutenant of the Imperial Court. Killing him in front of so many people would not only harm him, but also implicate his own sect.

Gongsun Ming also understood this very clearly.

After Mr. Lu identified him, he did not panic in the slightest. Instead, he slowly put down the hood on his head, revealing the face that was covered with wounds and could no longer see his original appearance.

But even so, there were still so many people who recognized him at a glance. He was Gongsun Ming!

For example, Zhou Zhang, who was sitting at the end of the hall, looked at the face that Si Ye had been thinking about for a long time, and his body trembled as he lowered his head.

He didn't dare to look any further. He was afraid that in the next moment, he would be unable to suppress the turbulence in his heart as he raised his sword. But now was not the best time. For this reason, he tried his best to suppress the resentment in his heart, but his body still couldn't help but tremble. Such a strange situation attracted Fang Ziyu's attention. She looked at Zhou Zhang with concern and wanted to ask, but she didn't know how to say it.

"I really don't dare to bet, but does Mr. Lu really dare to bet?" That ugly face stared at Mr. Lu with an extremely ugly smile and asked.

"Then what is your intention?" Mr. Lu raised his eyebrows.

"Very simple." Mr. Lu's question seemed to be exactly what Gongsun Ming wanted, and he took over the conversation without hesitation. "Miss Hongjian, one is ordered by her parents and the other by her master. Neither of them can be disobeyed."

"But if you and I continue to argue like this, we might not be able to get any results. On the contrary, we will inevitably attract the ridicule of our friends."

"In my opinion, since both of you have the orders of the elders, one is the son of the Long Night Division and the other is the young master of the Tian Ce Mansion. This matter just happens to be at the Grand Dao Discussion Conference of the Great Zhou's Jianghu. It's not like Jianghu anymore. The two young masters are fighting one another. The victor is respected. Isn't it better than us fighting here?"

When these words were spoken, everyone present couldn't help but burst into discussion.

Xu Han and Zhu Long Qi had fought on the stage earlier. Although Xu Han had won, they could clearly see which of them was stronger or weaker. Gongsun Ming had proposed such a method to plot against Xu Han. Everyone was secretly shameless, but they didn't dare to say anything. How could these nobody like them participate in the game between the three giants?

Mr. Lu obviously did not expect Gongsun Ming to make such a proposal.

He frowned. Xu Han's cultivation level was not clear to him, but he had heard about this Young Master Zhu. His cultivation level was not inferior to Chen Xuanji's. He did not think that Xu Han would be Zhu Longqi's opponent.

Therefore, at that time, he had to speak out to reject such a proposal.

"Sir." But at this moment, Xu Han, who had been standing beside him silently, suddenly interrupted Mr. Lu's words.

"Young Master, what instructions do you have?" Mr. Lu was stunned and hurriedly turned to ask. His attitude was respectful, and he didn't look down on Xu Han at all because he was young or his cultivation base was low.

"I want to give it a try." Xu Han said with a faint smile. "I wonder if Sir will allow it."

Mr. Lu was stunned again. He carefully sized up the successor chosen by the Headmaster, but he saw that although his cultivation did not seem unusual, the calm expression on his face was not fake. He thought for a moment and nodded. "Everything according to Young Master's wishes."

"Thank you, sir." Xu Han respectfully nodded his head, then took a step forward and walked to the front of the crowd.

At that time, the group of red-robed guests led by Mr. Lu retreated one after another, giving Xu Han enough space.

"What courage!" Gongsun Ming didn't expect Xu Han to accept this duel so easily. He couldn't help but hesitate. He felt that Xu Han shouldn't be a fool. If he dared to accept this duel, he would have to rely on it. However, at this point, he had no room to go back on his word. Hence, he could only say this, and then retreat.

As he brushed past Zhu Longqi, who stood up and walked forward, he whispered, "Prince, be careful."

However, Zhu Longqi, who had been repeatedly frustrated, finally found an opportunity. How could he listen to Gongsun Ming's words? He perfunctorily nodded his head and walked to the center of the hall, standing in opposition to Xu Han.

"You will die." Then, His Highness the Crown Prince revealed a cold smile as he looked at Xu Han and said.

However, Xu Han shook his head lightly in the face of His Highness the Crown Prince's provocation.

"Everyone will die. The Crown Prince is no exception."
