65: Chapter 65 Powerful figures gather to attack Zhou Yuxuan, the young master of the Zhou family!
At this moment, Xu Feng clutched the wound on his severed arm, staring at the mangled flesh on the ground, his eyes instantly turning bloodshot.
He roared as he looked into Zhou Yuxuan's eyes, his own filled with Killing Intent.
"System, check how much Luck Xu Feng has left now?"
Watching Xu Feng, Zhou Yuxuan ignored him, instead silently asking in his heart.
[Ding! Current Luck value remaining for the protagonist Xu Feng: 15%!]
Seeing the value getting closer and closer to the 10% threshold for killing, Zhou Yuxuan felt somewhat disappointed.
"What a pity. Who would have thought that even after Xu Weixiong died, it wasn't enough to lower Xu Feng's Luck value to the killing threshold."
Zhou Yuxuan said with great disappointment. If it didn't drop to 10%, trying to forcibly kill Xu Feng might attract the attention of the Heavenly Dao and bring down punishment.
Although he might be able to resist such punishment with the resources at his disposal, there was still the Prince of Northern Liang who hadn't been dealt with.
This was the most troublesome part. If he used his resources to resist the Heavenly Dao's punishment from killing Xu Feng, and the Prince of Northern Liang happened to take advantage of the situation, it would be a huge loss.
After thinking it over repeatedly, Zhou Yuxuan finally withdrew the Killing Intent from his eyes and stopped looking at Xu Feng.
"Young Prince Xu, let this incident serve as a small punishment for you trespassing into the Princess's residence. Your father has had it difficult, and you only have one sister left; I hope you won't act impulsively!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Feng staggered to his feet, staring at Zhou Yuxuan with eyes full of the desire to kill him.
After quite a while, he withdrew his gaze and, without saying a word, turned and left.
At this time, Donghuang Qing slowly walked out, supported by her aunt.
"Many thanks to Young Master Zhou for solving this trouble for us; otherwise, this Princess wouldn't have known how to resolve it."
As soon as she saw Zhou Yuxuan, Donghuang Qing spoke up.
That crisp and pleasant voice immediately lingered in his ears.
Zhou Yuxuan certainly didn't believe a word of what Donghuang Qing said. Just that beautiful woman beside her, her aunt Luo Xin, would have been able to deal with the two Elders of the Ouyang Divine Sect.
The reason she didn't act was likely because she wanted to wait for him to act, so she could win him over.
"Heh! Your Highness the Princess is joking. His Majesty ordered this Young Master to come and ensure your safety. Until you are married, this Young Master will not let you come to any harm."
Zhou Yuxuan said very politely.
Although everyone present knew in their hearts that this wedding was essentially dead in name only after the death of Xu Weixiong, no one said it out loud.
Upon hearing this, Donghuang Qing still wanted to continue to win over this Young Master of the Zhou Family, so she spoke up.
"Young Master Zhou, now that you have killed the beloved daughter of the Prince of Northern Suppression, he will certainly not let this matter rest. Are you truly not going to consider the matter this Princess discussed with you that day?"
Zhou Yuxuan shook his head and didn't say anything more.
Instead, he looked at his two delicate maids and said: "Qiaoer, Bing Meng, you two stay here with the Princess. After I go and handle the remaining matters, we will prepare to return to the Great Shang Imperial City."
Jin Qiaoer and the other were very sensible. After receiving the order, they obediently entered the Princess's residence.
Donghuang Qing also seemed to understand what Zhou Yuxuan wanted to do and did not refuse his arrangement.
Her tone just became a bit colder as she said: "Since Young Master Zhou looks down on this humble temple of mine, then this Princess wishes Young Master Zhou good Luck!"
As her voice fell, Donghuang Qing and Luo Xin entered the temporary Princess's residence. The gate, which had originally been reduced to fragments on the ground, was restored to its original state under the control of a mysterious force and closed tightly.
"Uncle Zhou, let's go. Take some of our Zhou Family's men, and let us prepare to meet that Butcher, the Prince of Northern Liang!"
As the two spoke, they disappeared from in front of the Princess's residence.
...
At this moment, at a pavilion hundreds of miles away from Northern Liang.
The Prince of Northern Liang, who had just left Northern Liang not long ago, was sitting upright in the pavilion.
Here, the Prince of Northern Liang was brewing tea with a calm expression, and in front of him were several steaming teacups.
At this time, a man riding a grey donkey, wearing a green robe and holding a peach blossom branch, slowly arrived in front of the pavilion.
"I wonder why the Prince invited me, Deng, here?"
The person speaking was named Deng Tai'e. Like Zhao Chungang, he was known as a Sword God in the Eastern Region, but because he loved peach blossoms, he was also revered as the Peach Blossom Sword God.
Seeing an acquaintance arrive, the Prince of Northern Liang chuckled: "No rush, the others haven't arrived yet!"
Shortly after, about a few minutes later, a middle-aged man dressed in green, exuding an air of scholarly refinement, stepped through the air and landed in front of the pavilion.
As soon as he landed, he noticed Deng Tai'e in the pavilion.
"Yo! I didn't expect to actually see the famous Peach Blossom Sword God here!"
The person who arrived was named Cao Changqing. He was a former official of a small nation that had been destroyed by Northern Liang. Because his country was destroyed, he had been searching after hearing that there was a royal orphan wandering outside.
Later, by chance, he became an Outer Sect Disciple of the Haoran Divine Sect and learned some Confucian Cultivation Techniques. Because of his outstanding Aptitude, he quickly broke through to the God King Realm.
Because he had the Aptitude to become a Saint, he was also titled the Little Confucian Saint in the Eastern Region.
Seeing an acquaintance greeting him, Deng Tai'e also stood up and bowed: "I didn't expect that I, Deng, would also be fortunate enough to meet the Little Confucian Saint here."
After the two greeted each other, Cao Changqing's gaze sharply turned towards the man who had destroyed his country and was known as the Butcher.
"Prince of Northern Liang, is the matter you summoned me for true? If you are toying with me, I will take your life right now!"
Looking at the murderous Cao Changqing, the Prince of Northern Liang was not angry. Instead, he smiled faintly and said: "Don't be anxious. Once everyone arrives, I will certainly fulfill what I promised you!"
Seeing this, Cao Changqing had no choice but to agree and wait to see the situation.
Soon, two people arrived in front of the pavilion.
It was a handsome man with a commanding Sword Intent all around him, and beside him was a plain-looking woman, who also possessed a commanding Sword Intent.
"Prince of Northern Liang, you invited us from the Sword Tomb to come, but you didn't take us into Zhenbei City, instead leaving us here to catch the wind. What is the meaning of this!"
The person speaking was the handsome man, named Wu Liuding, the current Sword Crown of the Wu Family Sword Tomb, and beside him was his sword attendant, Xiaohua.
Just as the Prince of Northern Liang was about to answer, a young man wearing the Daoist robes of the Wudang Sect Head walked over from the distance, speaking with a smile.
This person was named Hong Xuanxiang. His strength was formidable, and he was the newly appointed Sect Head of Wudang. When he appeared, the pressure he exuded made everyone present breathless.
Their eyes were full of surprise as they looked at Hong Xuanxiang.
Most of their cultivation levels were at the Late Stage of the God King Realm, approaching the Peak. The only ones who could make them feel pressured were those powerful beings who were about to break through to the Saint Realm, or who had already broken through to the Saint Realm.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, the Prince of Northern Liang's originally calm expression finally revealed a smile.
He looked at the crowd and leisurely stated the purpose of inviting them this time.
"Since everyone has arrived, I will stop beating around the bush. The main purpose of inviting you all this time is to crusade against the Young Master of the Zhou Family, Zhou Yuxuan!"
As the Prince of Northern Liang spoke, the smile on his face disappeared, replaced by a murderous look as he stared at the crowd.
