C238 Young Master's Horse Was Stolen
"Break!" Xiao Chen shouted. The stone pillar suddenly turned. A stone pillar was pushed into the vortex, and then the vortex exploded.
The sky was filled with sword shadows.
"Emperor Heaven Sword!"
The old Taoist raised his hand and a long sword appeared in his hand. Sword Qi swept across the air and the power of the four directions suddenly gathered. The sword light was dazzling.
"It's the sword bestowed by the Empyrean Overseer!"
Some of the old men in the court immediately recognized that the sword qi was the Emperor's Sword. Without a doubt, it was the Emperor's Sword.
"How is this possible? The Emperor's Sword has disappeared for a long time, how could it still appear here? Could it be that this person is related to the Emperor's Sword?"
The Qin Heavenly Sword gathered the powers of the four sides and gathered the might of the Heavenly Dao. A single sword strike could stir the heavens and the earth. Beneath the sword light was the Heavenly Punishment. This sword represented the Son of Heaven and represented the heavens.
"A good sword!"
The Dao Seeking Sword in Xiao Chen's hand suddenly blossomed with golden light.
The old Taoist and Xiao Chen's figures flashed. They passed each other. The sword light flashed and sparks flew in all directions. Then, a crisp cracking sound was heard. The old Taoist's eyes widened in shock. The Heaven-Seeking Sword had been broken. It was the third-ranked weapon on the Shenglan Ancient Country Divine Sword Ranking.
Xiao Chen turned around. Thunder rumbled and a thunderbolt struck down.
The old Taoist stamped his feet and the eight trigrams appeared. The Yin and Yang fish spiraled and the eight trigrams gradually expanded, covering a hundred miles of land. The mountains, rivers, and earth were all included in the eight trigrams.
The five elements and eight trigrams, the Yin and Yang Tai Chi, rose into the air and blocked the descending lightning. The old Taoist's lips curled up into a smile. "Young man, you are still a bit lacking!" The old Taoist smiled and said that it was wishful thinking to kill him so easily.
"Vermillion Bird Flame!"
The old Daoist stamped his foot and flames ignited around his body. The Daoist robe on his body also turned fiery red, as if it was pieced together by burning feathers.
The old Taoist looked at the burning fiery man. Everyone from ten thousand miles away saw the flames. The scorching temperature instantly burst out, and the ground started burning. The ground melted into magma.
"Set up the formation! Set up the formation!"
Seeing that the Rosefinch Mansion had turned into magma, the surrounding people immediately started setting up the formation. They couldn't let the heat wave come out of the Rosefinch Mansion. Otherwise, the land would be in great danger.
A curtain of light burst out and surrounded the Rosefinch Mansion.
Xiao Chen glanced at the old Daoist. "You are just a vain fool! The next sword can cut your Dao foundation!" Xiao Chen said very confidently. He raised the Dao Seeking sword, and the sword glowed.
"Then let's see! The Vermillion Bird flew into the sky. The old Daoist waved his sword and charged forward. With a sword strike, a bird cry rang out as the Fire Bird flew out from the sword light. The Fire Bird spread its wings and covered the sky. Flames ignited, as if it was going to burn the earth.
The vermilion bird spiraled upwards, and the clear sky within ten thousand miles became bright red. The flames soared into the sky, and the heavens and the earth were like a massive furnace.
Everyone felt an incomparable heat. Each and every one of them frantically wiped away their sweat. Heat waves assaulted them, and their skin was scorching hot as if it was being roasted.
"A cold glint from a sword."
Dao Seeking Sword Profound Frost circled around as it slashed down. The ground froze and froze for thousands of miles. A thick layer of ice formed under everyone's feet. The people who were still feeling hot immediately started to shiver. When the cold entered their bodies, they felt as if they were going to turn into popsicles.
"It's too cold!"
Each and every one of them said while trembling.
The vermilion bird spiraled downwards, causing the ground to surge with cold energy and flames to ignite. However, it was unable to resist the cold energy. In an instant, the heavens and earth froze, and even the vermilion bird was frozen within the ice.
A cold light flashed, and the old Daoist was sent flying backwards. There was a sword scar on his body, and it looked like a very ordinary sword scar. The sword light only cut through his skin, and there wasn't even a drop of blood.
However, the old Daoist was shocked, and his face was filled with disbelief. This sword strike seemed ordinary, but it had directly entered his soul, and cut off his Dao foundation with a single sword strike.
The magical body was broken, his meridians were broken, and his cultivation base was crippled.
"I'm going to kill you!" The old Taoist shouted hysterically. Xiao Chen raised his hand and swept across. The old Taoist flew in front of Ye Hanluo.
Ye Hanluo glanced at the old Daoist who was lying on the ground. His cultivation base had been crippled by Xiao Chen. Xiao Chen had crippled his cultivation base without any hesitation. old servant's eyes were dull as he looked at the sky in a daze.
Xiao Chen raised his hand and the ground cracked open. The Vermillion Bird egg flew into Xiao Chen's hand. A flame ignited in Xiao Chen's hand. The Vermillion Bird egg seemed to have sensed something and started shaking. It was as if the Vermillion Bird inside was about to break out of its shell.
The flame dissipated, and the temperature also disappeared in an instant.
"Young master!"
"Un! Xiao Chen nodded. "We need to see if the people outside can stop the Fire Ghost now." Xiao Chen said slowly.
When night fell, the silent Rosefinch Mansion suddenly roared all over the place, making people's scalps tingle. Everyone was trembling with fear.
"What are you afraid of? We are the army of ancient countries, invincible, and guarded by our ancestors. A mere Fire Ghost is nothing more than you!" The leading generals began to lecture the timid soldiers.
"They're here!"
Suddenly, a voice rang out, and a black shadow dashed out from the darkness. Everyone fell to the ground before they even had the chance to do so. With a miserable cry, they no longer struggled. A black monster crawled on this person's body. The monster looked at everyone and let out a roar.
"Kill!"
With a command, the arrows were released at the same time.
The Rosefinch Mansion instantly became lively. The army slowly advanced. It could be said that they did not miss out on any of the places.
"Let's go as well!" Xiao Chen stretched his waist and said.
"Where are we going?" Liang Yiyi asked. Was everything done here?
"Of course we are going to the capital of Shenglan Ancient Country to take a look. There will be people to take care of the matters here. Moreover, the disaster victims are not things that we can solve." Xiao Chen shrugged and said.
"You are right, young master. The court has sent General Zhen Yuan to eliminate these Fire Ghosts. As for the disaster victims, Minister of Finance, Zhang Tianwei, has gathered money." Ye Hanluo said with a smile.
In just a few days, these matters had finally settled.
"Young Master!" After Ye Hanluo finished speaking, Yao Sheng stood in front of Xiao Chen and looked at him with guilt.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Chen asked with a smile.
"Young master, your horse has been detained." Yao Sheng said apologetically. Xiao Chen looked at Ye Hanluo and Lou Lanqu when he heard that there were robbers in the capital. This was interesting.
"Who is it?"
"Yang Xuan, the son of Yang Soong, the head assistant of the Cabinet." Yao Sheng rode his horse back to the country and reported the news. He was about to leave when he met Yang Xuan. Yang Xuan had taken a fancy to Xiao Chen's horse.
Yao Sheng tried to resist, but unfortunately, he was no match for Yang Xuan. Furthermore, Yang Xuan's father, Yang Soong, was the head assistant of the Cabinet. Although the Yao family was the Prince's Mansion, they didn't dare to have a falling out with the Yang family.
"How could there be such a thing in the capital, under the Son of Heaven's feet?! Could it be that no one cares about it?" Xiao Chen looked at Ye Hanluo.
Ye Hanluo also looked guilty.
"Young master, you might not know this, but the patriarch of the Yang family, Yang Soong, is an old official in the three dynasties of Shenglan Ancient Country. He is now in charge of the inner pavilion and holds great power. There are many people in the empire, so no one dares to make enemies with the Yang family. This Yang Xuan is the son of Yang Soong, and Yang Soong loves his son very much, which is why he has developed an arrogant personality."
Ye Hanluo said. She didn't dare to force Yang Soong too much even if he was from the royal family. Yang Soong was deeply rooted in the dynasty, and he could move his entire body with just a little bit of force.
The emperor once tried to probe him. That time, Yang Soong almost forced him to go to the palace.1
"Understood! It seems like I have to be the bad guy." Xiao Chen said with a smile.
"How?" Liang Yiyi asked curiously. Ye Hanluo also said that Yang Soong had many followers in the court and even the Emperor was wary of him. What should they do?
"Of course they are going to get my horse back! If I don't give it back, I will kill everyone in the Yang family. I will start with his son, Yang Xuan. If anyone comes out to seek justice for the Yang family and punish me for the same crime, I don't believe that I will not be able to kill them all!"
"I don't believe that I won't be able to kill them all?
Hearing Xiao Chen's last sentence, everyone became speechless, especially Ye Hanluo. She felt a chill run down her spine. Xiao Chen's words sounded like a joke, but it carried a strong killing intent.
"Young master is Yang Soong!" Liang Yiyi reminded Xiao Chen.
"So what? No one can steal my things!" Xiao Chen said in a domineering manner. After leaving Rosefinch Mansion, Xiao Chen went straight to the capital.
The capital of Shenglan Ancient Country was very prosperous. It could be said that no city in the Nine States could compare with the capital of Shenglan Ancient Country. The culture here was very ancient.
"Young master, there are a few lively places in our capital! The Young Master's Temple, the Three Purities Temple, the Fahua Temple, the East Imperial Palace, and the Old Moon Temple are all very prosperous places. Young Master can go and experience them one by one!" Ye Hanluo said.
Do you know a lot? " Xiao Chen said with a smile.
"Young Master, Hanluo is a princess. She grew up in the capital. How could she not know?" Liang Yiyi rolled her eyes at Xiao Chen.
"Young Master is right. I actually have not been to any places. I heard it from the people in the Palace." Ye Hanluo said with a smile. Liang Yiyi did not hear it, but Ye Hanluo knew very well that she was born with no meridians. How could she leave the Palace casually? Even going out of her own courtyard was a difficult thing.
"Since you have come to the capital of Shenglan Ancient Country, why don't you lead the way as the host?" Xiao Chen asked.
Ye Hanluo was slightly stunned. "I can't ask for more, but I still have to report the matter to Royal Father. If young master can, can you give Hanluo a few days? When the time comes, Hanluo will personally accompany young master and see how the capital looks like."
"Sure!" Xiao Chen nodded. Since he was here, he was not in a hurry. He could not escape from the capital.
"Where does young master want to stay?" Ye Hanluo asked.
"Choose one for us! Be lively." Xiao Chen said with a smile. Very quickly, Yao Sheng stopped talking to Ye Hanluo and drove the carriage to a restaurant.
This was a ten story high restaurant, looking incomparably magnificent.
"World Tower!"
Xiao Chen looked at the three golden words, World Tower! There were many people walking in and out of the restaurant. One could see the business of the restaurant from the entrance.
"This is the number one restaurant in the capital of Shenglan Ancient Country, World Tower! Here, you can eat all the delicacies in the world, soak in hot springs, taste fine wine, and many other interesting things." Ye Hanluo said.
World Tower, a place where scholars and guests gathered.
