Chapter 461 Part 2: The 300-Year-Old Ancestor and the Ancient Ancestor (2)
However, there are differences between Soul Changing and Soul Changing.
Xuantian Sect’s leader was later defeated, not only heavily injured, but also not fully recovered before being killed by Qiao Mu.
Even the precious Tianwu Mirror, which was used to deceive others, was taken by the leader of the Great Dao Sect.
At this moment, the leader of the Great Dao Sect is heading to Nan Province for a "returning things to their original place" trip.
…………………….
Capital City of Zhong Province.
Qiao Mu stood next to Qingyi, his hands hanging down, quietly waiting.
He didn’t do anything else, just stood there quietly.
At the same time, many people quickly gathered around the gate, looking at it with great respect.
"Qiao Shuangtu…"
"He is Qiao Shuangtu… with just one move, he brought down the Great Dao Sect gate in the Imperial Capital."
"Not only that, rumors say that the Xuantian Sect gate in the entire Nan Province has been destroyed, even the sect itself has crumbled…"
The Imperial Capital is a place where there are many skilled martial artists.
Most of these discussions were among martial artists.
"It seems like we won’t catch this fish." Qiao Mu seemed a bit indifferent.
Although he usually liked to appear wise in front of others, this time he was not waiting for martial artists, but for people from the Great Dao Sect.
He took a step forward, raised his hand, and finally struck a fatal blow to Elder Qingyi’s dim Nascent Soul figurine.
At this moment.
Suddenly, a figure appeared in the sky, with True Strength under their feet, landing on the ruins of the Daoist temple below.
"Oh? Is it over already? Did I arrive late?" Founding Emperor Yan landed on the ground, looking somewhat surprised.
"Over? It has only just begun." Qiao Mu shook his head.
"We will divide our forces into eight routes and besiege the five great Immortal Gates!"
Behind him, three flesh clones with similar appearances soared into the sky again, heading in three different directions.
The three flesh clones just passed by the Imperial Capital.
Qiao Mu’s plan to divide forces into eight routes wasn’t just talk. These three flesh clones will travel through Zhong Province Imperial Capital and then enter Bei Province, East Bei Province, and Dong Province.
Anyway, he’s used to multitasking. There are also two flesh clones guarding Zhong Province, so both areas can be managed.
Moving? He wants both sides.
Qiao Mu enjoys doing whatever he wants with a small trumpet.
The Founding Emperor Yan was stunned for a moment, watching Qiao Mu’s flesh clone leave, looking at the ruins of the Taoist temple in front of him, feeling lost with a sword in hand.
"Members of the Qiao family always seem so carefree."
As the crucial figure of the Great Yan Royal Family, he naturally couldn’t be unaware of the existence of this Taoist temple in the Imperial Capital.
However, at over three hundred years old, he could never live out his youth of overthrowing the old dynasty on horseback.
The Human Emperor Sword in his hand is a formidable weapon of deterrence, so although he has had conflicts with the Zhong Province Great Dao Sect over the past two to three years, there is still restraint between them. Elder Qingyi and this Taoist temple are still present.
After all, he and the Great Dao Sect are fundamentally unequal, far from evenly matched.
The Great Dao Sect is only afraid that if he, who holds the Human Emperor Sword, is pushed too far, they will suffer significant damage.
Just like people won’t fight fiercely with a snarling dog, they want to avoid getting hurt, so they keep their distance from the dog. But if they really start fighting…
So the Nine Heavenly Immortal Gates used other indirect methods to weaken the Human Emperor Sword, avoiding a direct confrontation.
Founding Emperor Yan, with his strong fighting spirit, was no longer the young and pure martial artist he used to be, hesitant to start a fight easily.
Qiao Mu, regardless of Founding Emperor Yan’s complex thoughts, just went on talking to himself:
"You are not late, you arrived just in time."
After saying that, he took out some secret manuals from his personal storage bag.
Among them were the treasured "Buddha’s Palm" and "Vajra Immortal Skill" from the Wuji Association’s armory.
He also had the "Aotian Divine Fist" obtained from Wu Aotian’s dungeon.
"This?" Founding Emperor Yan was puzzled, a bit slow to react.
"Qiao Mu said, ‘Returning a favor with a gift of peaches.’"
"I, a descendant of the Qiao family, have gained a lot from studying your techniques, so these are my gifts to show my gratitude."
Before heading to the Western Province, Qiao Mu studied two of the twelve martial arts techniques of the Founding Emperor Yan, especially the "Tian Ming Shen Gang" and "Po Yue Long Yin Gong," which helped him understand the essence of martial arts.
Following the martial arts techniques of Founding Emperor Yan led to the creation of the "True Strength Heavenly Demon Disintegration Method" later on.
Founding Emperor Yan did not refuse the gift, but his mind was in turmoil as he held the secret techniques in his hands.
Why did he give the twelve martial arts techniques to the Qiao family member?
It was because earlier he had received the "Spiritual Sound Conducting Technique" and the "Divine Transformation Technique" from the Qiao family Peach Blossom Villa, which greatly enhanced his martial arts skills.
So in return, Founding Emperor Yan was repaying the favor by giving back gifts.
Through this exchange of martial arts techniques, it felt like they were creating endless possibilities.
Emperor Yan naturally accepted this generous gift without hesitation.
As the founding emperor of this dynasty, he saw even a Qiao family member who surpassed him in martial arts as a son of Great Yan who offered him a valuable gift. In return, what should he give to the Qiao family next time?
Just when Founding Emperor Yan was feeling a bit troubled, he realized that Qiao Mu had more to say.
He looked towards the south and said slowly:
"Apart from me, there are several other Qiao family members who will head to various places in Jiu Province to besiege the five Immortal Gates."
"But I still have something to say to you, Founding Emperor Yan."
"I’m listening attentively." Founding Emperor Yan nodded.
In fact, being called "Founding Emperor Yan" face-to-face made him feel a bit awkward.
"Taizu" is a posthumous title used for an emperor after death, and it should not be used in this way during his lifetime.
Long time ago, Founding Emperor Yan "died" once over two hundred years ago… Since his fake death and passing the throne to his royal descendants, he continued to be active under the name "Yan Shenji", and the title "Founding Emperor Yan" became his alias.
Qiao Mu stood facing south and said slowly:
"The one who should have said these words originally should be Qiao Xin, the owner of Peach Blossom Villa… but since I am connected to the Qiao family, I will speak on his behalf today."
Qiao Mu continued:
"In that Peach Blossom Villa, there is a girl named Wu Mingkong."
"She is a rare talent in martial arts, unmatched in the Ji Province, seen by Martial Saint throughout his life, comparable to the legendary Earth Sword Immortal."
"However, this girl is still young, a bit childish, ambitious, and unwilling to be second. With proper guidance, she will surely shine brightly in the future."
"Wu Mingkong? I have heard a bit about her too…" Founding Emperor Yan furrowed his brow and nodded.
He was a bit puzzled about what Qiao Mu wanted to say.
Why not show off the baby in front of him? Boast about the extraordinary talent in the Qiao family’s estate?
What else could he say, except nodding in agreement.
Next, Qiao Mu continued:
"There is a son named Xue Changhe, in his twenties, the most outstanding young leader in the Xue family for over a thousand years."
"This person carries the accumulation of over a thousand years of the Xue family. With a sudden breakthrough, his internal strength transformed. However, if the Long Life Gate is not extinguished, he can only live up to fifty years."
"This young man is upright in character, with a rare youthful spirit, and is an extraordinary figure in the martial arts world of the Jiu Province. He is now also a rare talent, a pearl that should not be buried."
"I have also heard of this Xue Changhe, a true young hero." The Founding Emperor Yan continued to agree, though his brow furrowed slightly deeper.
Compared to the Peach Blossom Villa where many talented figures gather, his position under the Great Yan Imperial Court’s founder is somewhat lacking.
Leaving aside other matters, in the past three hundred years of the Great Yan Royal Family, only one imperial grandson, Yan Shenji himself, had the potential to reach superb rank, but tragically passed away.
"There are two brothers, Earth Sword Immortal and Lu Yanbei," Qiao Mu continued.
"Though Lu Yanbei is elderly, he has a strong foundation and a calm heart. Now with the ‘Human Path Sutra’ to guide him, the two brothers support each other and make steady progress in their martial arts."
"While not progressing rapidly, with more time, Lu Yanbei who wields the Flower Willow Sword may become a great pillar of the community."
Founding Emperor Yan was taken aback.
But then Qiao Mu continued,
"There is also a young female hero named Bai Qingsi… She is a talented individual, a friend of my younger generation…"
"Also, in the Western Province, there is a man named Qiao Yuan, a member of the Great Yan Flying Fish Guard. Though not yet spiritually refined, he has had many remarkable experiences and exceptional character, a rare pillar of support…"
"And then…"
The tense expression on Founding Emperor Yan’s face slowly relaxed without him noticing.
He realized he had misunderstood before, in fact, he was not from the royal bloodline, he felt a bit sensitive…
The true meaning of Qiao Mu’s words seemed to be…
Founding Emperor Yan listened quietly until Qiao Mu finished speaking, then asked, "Taking in an orphan?"
"Not exactly," Qiao Mu said slowly.
"Just making some early preparations before the battle."
Founding Emperor Yan thought to himself that this was not just preparations for battle, but tying up loose ends. He didn’t say it out loud, just gazed silently into Qiao Mu’s eyes.
Eyes are the windows to the soul.
The eyes of a Spirit Refining martial artist are even more so; the eyes of a successful spiritual refining martial artist are bright and spirited, especially when using the Eye Attacking Technique.
If Qiao Mu was wary, his eyes would not show any emotions.
However, in front of him was Founding Emperor Yan.
Founding Emperor Yan and "Qiao Shuangtu" were not exactly enemies.
They were not allies in the strict sense, but they were on the same side when facing the Nine Heavenly Immortal Gates.
Qiao Mu did not see Founding Emperor Yan as an enemy and didn’t guard against him. Founding Emperor Yan could tell something from his eyes.
"This is the look of someone ready to die, are you seeking death?" Founding Emperor Yan asked directly.
Qiao Mu did not reply.
Founding Emperor Yan frowned immediately.
In fact, when he first saw "Qiao Shuangtu" this time, he already noticed that this "Qiao Shuangtu" was somewhat different from other Qiao family members he had met before.
Different from the previous "Qiao Qijin" as well.
"The five Immortal Gate leaders arriving together is indeed a rare sight of strong enemies. It is reasonable to entrust matters before the battle," said Founding Emperor Yan.
