The night was not long, and under the cheers of the Xiangyang people, the stars had already begun to disappear.

Many people were so excited that they couldn't even sleep at night. Everyone was excitedly discussing the name of the Sword Demon, Li Dao.

Some children held onto wooden swords and played around on the streets, daydreaming about the day they could become great heroes like the magic of the sword. Their parents laughed but did not stop them.

Since Song Liguo, civil officials cherish wealth, military generals cherish life. The imperial court had always been weak to the outside world, and had struggled to survive until now by paying tribute with the loss of the land.

From the Northern Song Dynasty onwards, there had been countries such as the Great Liaoning, Western Xia, Dali, and Tufan. Among them, Dalian and Xicha repeatedly invaded the Great Song, and the Northern Song officials and ministers paid tribute to Liao and Xicha every year.

In the end, the rise of the Golden Kingdom and the annihilation of Liao and Xixia by the Great Song Dynasty caused the Northern Song Dynasty to think that they were safe. However, the Golden Kingdom began to invade the Northern Song Dynasty. Fortunately, Yue Fei was loyal to his master, and he drove the Golden Man to the other side of the Yellow River. Unfortunately, Grandpa Yue's achievements shook the world. With Qin Kui leading the group of treacherous officials, Song Wei had urgently recruited Grandpa Yue to return to the capital and then killed him for the crime of not knowing his place.

After the death of Grandpa Yue, there were no more generals in the Northern Song Dynasty who could fight. The Kingdom of Jin headed south and abducted the Northern Song's family, making the Northern Song a part of history. This matter was known as the change of Jing Kang, or the shame of Jing Kang. This was the origin of Guo Qing's name.

The remaining members of the royal family and ministers of the Northern Song Dynasty fled to Jiangnan and established the Southern Song with the capital of Beijing as their capital.

The Southern Song Dynasty did not remember the disgrace of the Northern Song Dynasty. It still sent a large amount of wealth to the Golden Kingdom every year, seeking peace and stability. After that was the rise of Eagle-Eagles Ironwood. He had joined forces with many other forces on the prairie and then destroyed all their connections. Guo Qing had even put in a lot of effort.

With the destruction of the Golden Kingdom, Guo Jing thought that the Great Song and Mongolia would live in peace, as did the Southern Song Imperial Court. Who would have thought that Tie Muzhen would brazenly tear up the alliance and set foot on the Central Plains?

This time, the Mongol army was more brutal than any foreign invaders. Wherever they passed, the land of the Central Plains whimpered beneath their iron hooves.

The Southern Song Imperial Court, as always, hoped to exchange large amounts of wealth and cloth for peace. However, the Mongols were too ambitious. They wanted to invade and swallow the mountains and rivers. The southern Song Dynasty's government panicked. Only then did it recall the military generals from the main warring factions.

Guo Qing had also resolutely abandoned the wealth and glory bestowed upon him by Mongolia and returned to the Southern Song Dynasty. He had been stationed at Xiangyang for over ten years.

The Mongolian army had also attacked Xiangyang for more than ten years. Guo Jing had endured every single time, but every time they fought back against the Mongolian army, Guo Jing felt that his strength was insufficient. The Mongol army was too powerful, and Xiangyang City relied on its soldiers to support it. This time, Kublai Kublai led the army personally, Guo Jingcai called on all the heroes of the Jianghu to celebrate together.

Sword Demon Li Ren appeared out of nowhere and killed his way through tens of thousands of soldiers, thus resulting in this victory.

The victory in this war was undoubtedly inspiring, worthy of every Song person's excitement. They had lived for a long time under the suppression of the Mongol military, and this time, they saw hope.

The sky was bright, and the Guo Mansion was bustling with activity, decorated with lanterns and decorations.

After Guo Jing and Huang Rong had discussed the matter, they decided to convene another Martial Arts Assembly to elect a Martial Arts Alliance Master to lead a fellow cultivator against Mongolia.

The disciples of the Beggar Clan, the heroes and heroes who had come to participate in the war, as well as the rich and powerful merchants had all gathered at the Guo Mansion.

Everyone's faces were brimming with smiles as they greeted each other. They were still discussing the great battle yesterday.

As for the Sword Demon, Li Dao's deeds were also slowly being spread out. His reputation was growing, like the sun in the sky.
