Chapter 219 Xu Fengnian returns to the cold! Eight Linglong battle sword armor!
Li Changan was of course well aware of the affairs of the Huyan tribe, as the Jinyiwei had already investigated them.

The Huyan tribe's surrender was exactly what Li Changan wanted. This was a great opportunity to implement a strategy of differentiation.

They supported the weak Huyan tribe and formed a buffer zone on the periphery of Shazhou, while fighting each other with the tribes deep in the grassland.

These tribes are kept within a certain size and no one is allowed to dominate the world. This has been proven to be the most successful strategy in history.

The grassland people have never been the biggest hidden danger to the Central Plains dynasty. The biggest hidden danger to the Central Plains dynasty is always within.

Huyan Guanyin stammered, "The Huyan tribe is willing to submit to His Majesty the King of Tang and defend against those brutal tribes for His Majesty the King of Tang."

"People are divided into good and evil. The grassland people and the Central Plains people are the same. Our Huyan tribe makes a living by herding horses and sheep, but we are still harassed by powerful enemies."

Li Changan raised the corner of his mouth, "Aren't you afraid of me?"

Huyan Guanyin glanced at Li Changan's eyes, then shrank back nervously.

"I'm scared... I'm scared to death. I've been having nightmares every day on the way here these days."

Jiang Ni and Qingniao suppressed their smiles as they watched Huyan Guanyin describe Li Changan as if he were a demon.

A look of despair appeared on Huyan Dashan's face. This meant that the King of Tang would not be killed on the spot.

"Your Highness, I am innocent and have no ill intentions. Please forgive me."

Li Changan said calmly, "I don't keep idle people. It will be of no benefit to Shazhou if I take you in."

"I am not a lustful person. Do you want to exchange a grassland pearl for my protection?"

Li Changan did not show off his ability, but Huyan Dashan felt great pressure and sweat wet his back.

If Li Changan does not accept their submission, the Huyan tribe will be in great danger.

Hearing what Li Changan said, Huyan Guanyin became anxious.

"Your Highness, the warriors of the Huyan tribe are willing to help you defend Shazhou."

"As long as Your Highness can protect the women and children of the tribe, ten thousand warriors are willing to fight to the death for Your Highness!"

This is what he really thinks. Now, either they will be wiped out by the Pugu tribe, or let Li Changan protect the women and children.

After surrendering to Shazhou, even if the young and middle-aged men became cannon fodder, at least the tribe could still survive.

Huyan Dashan even prostrated himself on the ground, "Your Highness, the King of Tang, as long as Your Highness is willing to protect the Huyan tribe, the Huyan tribe will be a sharp blade in Your Highness's hands!"

Li Changan was satisfied, as the infighting on the grassland was about to begin.

The Huyan tribe is just the beginning, and other different tribes will join in the future.

"In that case, let Huyan Guanyin stay and be a maid."

"As for whether or not to protect the Huyan tribe, this king needs to see your sincerity."

When Huyan Guanyin heard Li Changan's agreement, joy and confidence flashed in her bright eyes.

With her looks, as long as she takes the initiative, she will definitely win Li Changan's heart!

"I will do my best to serve Your Highness!"

Huyan Dashan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Huyan Guanyin was left behind, they would be halfway to success.

As long as they tell the Pugu tribe that the daughter of the Huyan tribe is a maid in the Tang Palace, the Pugu tribe will never dare to invade the Huyan tribe again.

Otherwise, what awaits them will be a sweep and plowing by the Tang Dynasty's cavalry.

Not long after, Huyan Guanyin bid farewell to her father at the gate of the palace.

Huyan Dashan repeatedly warned Huyan Guanyin not to offend the King of Tang and to try his best to meet any requests from the other party.

The life and death of the entire Huyan tribe is still in the hands of Li Changan. If Huyan Guanyin is driven out by Li Changan or directly killed, the Huyan tribe will be finished.

Huyan Guanyin's eyes flashed with tenacity, "Don't worry, father. Your daughter will serve His Majesty the King of Tang wholeheartedly."

When Huyan Dashan left, he had already made up his mind that he must work hard!

The more grassland people he could gather, the more useful he would be to Li Changan, and the more likely he would get protection from Shazhou!

After Huyan Guanyin entered the palace, she was certainly no longer an ordinary maid, but a maid specifically serving Li Changan.

Huyan Guanyin also worked hard, was willing to do everything, and was very docile.

With such a stunning beauty by his side, Li Changan would tease her from time to time. The more he teased Huyan Guanyin, the more at ease he felt.

Hongshu and Pei Nanwei, two concubines who often stayed in the backyard, were very friendly to Huyan Guanyin, which made Huyan Guanyin feel at home in the palace.

Time flies, and another half a year has passed. Li Changan's six counties in Shazhou have become more firmly established.

The Huyan tribe gathered more than 10,000 people from other small tribes, migrated to the vicinity of Shazhou, and sent all the women and children to settle in Gaochang County.

This weak tribe finally gained a foothold on the grassland where the weak are the strong.

It’s spring again.

Liangzhou, Qingliang Mountain.

In front of the palace, Xu Xiao was talking to Qi Dangguo.

"Dangguo, Li Changan's strength has increased dramatically in the past two years. I will let Yan Bing accompany you."

Xu Yanbing, the nuclear warhead of Beiliang, is a half-step land immortal and a martial artist at the peak of celestial phenomena. He is much stronger than Hong Jingyan.

This is the best master in the Beiliang Palace that Xu Xiao knows. He is known as being invincible among those below the Earthly Immortals, and one for one with those above them.

Qi Dangguo said solemnly, "Please rest assured, foster father, I will definitely bring Fengnian back safely."

Xu Xiao bowed to Xu Yanbing on his horse and said, "Mr. Xu, Xu Xiao is on my side."

Xu Yanbing returned the greeting and said, "That's good. I don't think anyone in Beiliang can defeat me."

At this moment, a gust of wind suddenly blew up at the gate of the palace, and an old servant in ordinary clothes slowly walked out of the door.

The old servant gently tore the mask off his face, revealing an ordinary face like that of a farmer with gray hair and beard.

The old man had a broken knife slung around his waist, his eyes calm without a trace of emotion.

"My grandson, I'll go pick him up."

As he spoke, he took a step forward and arrived at Xu Yan's camp.

Xu Yanbing suddenly frowned and tightened the gun in his hand!

The old servant's true energy suddenly burst out, and it seemed that he was on par with him, and he was also a half-step earth immortal!
At this time, Xu Xiao's eyes had widened and his lips were trembling with excitement.

"Father-in-law!"

"You've been in the mansion all this time!"

This person is Qi Lianhua, one of the Thirteen Great Sword Masters of the Spring and Autumn Period and Xu Fengnian’s grandfather. He is only one step away from becoming a terrestrial immortal.

After hearing what Xu Xiao said, Xu Yanbing dismounted.

Since the two men are equally matched, and he is really Xu Fengnian's grandfather, it would be most appropriate for the old servant to go and pick up his grandson himself.

The old servant didn't even look at Xu Xiao and directly mounted Xu Yanbing's horse.

"The older you get, the more useless you become. You can't keep your wife or your son."

After he finished speaking, Qi Lianhua's horse slowly moved forward, and he looked very dissatisfied with Xu Xiao.

In fact, he was also talking about himself. He couldn't protect his daughter, and he couldn't protect his grandson either.

When Xu Fengnian left Beiliang for Yongzhou, Qi Lianhua and Xu Xiao, like all of them, had never imagined that Xu Fengnian would never come back.

But later Xu Fengnian was captured, and this Half-Step Earthly Immortal Daojia was helpless. Even if he killed Li Changan, he still couldn't find Xu Fengnian.

With tears in his eyes, Xu Xiao bowed to Qi Lianhua's back from a distance.

"Master Taishan, I am ashamed..."

Qi Lianhua said from a distance, "I am going to let Li Changan know that the waters of the world are very deep."

The junction of Shazhou and Liangzhou, below Jiayu Pass.

Dust rose from the west, and a group of knights rode eastward. Two of them drove a carriage, but on top of the carriage was a cage.

In the cage, a skinny young man looked blankly in the direction of Jiayuguan.

His lips were chapped and he was only wearing a prison uniform that was stained with blood. His hands were also covered in blood. It was unknown how many times he had been tortured.

Xu Fengnian was imprisoned for three whole years. During that time, Ba Linglong often dealt with him, but he was still able to hold his breath.

This was also what Li Changan intended, which was to make Xu Fengnian feel tremendous hatred towards Li Changan, but not to destroy his will.

Because Xu Xiao has almost no weaknesses, his only weakness now is Xu Fengnian.

Keeping Xu Fengnian, who is radical and unable to distinguish the importance of things, will be of great benefit to Li Changan in his quest to eliminate Beiliang.

If Xu Fengnian was killed directly and Chen Zhibao supported Beiliang, things would become troublesome.

It is in Li Changan's best interest to let an incompetent and foolish person be the leader of Beiliang.

Qi Dangguo, along with a group of masters from the Qingliang Palace, were waiting a hundred feet outside Jiayu Pass. Qi Lianhua, with gray hair and beard, had hatred and brutality in his eyes.

The King of Beiliang is so famous and his palace is full of experts, but the prince has been kidnapped for three years.

As a grandfather, he felt both guilty and angry. As long as Xu Fengnian returned, he would start a killing spree!
No matter who the other party is, once they are returned to Xu Fengnian, they will all be killed immediately!

No matter how rampant Li Changan is, he does not have anyone who is even half a step away from becoming an earthly immortal under his command.

Don’t be fooled by the rankings in the world, the real masters are hidden in the dark.

His sword and armor Qi Lianhua is one of them.

Ba Linglong gradually approached, Qi Lianhua's eyes were gleaming with murderous intent in his heart.

Among the eight people on the other side, four of them have just entered the first level not long ago.

"Shut up!"

Qiansha reined in his horse and stopped. Genshi and Zhenhou jumped off the prison cart. The two horses pulled the prison cart slowly towards Qi Dangguo.

Xu Fengnian's dull expression suddenly regained his luster. He saw Qi Dangguo, the grandfather he had met when he was a child!

He is from Beiliang. The three-year period has come and I, Xu Fengnian, have finally escaped!

At this moment, Xu Fengnian's heart was filled with hatred, and his broken teeth were clenched tighter and tighter.

Li Changan, I, Xu Fengnian, must take revenge!

I have 350,000 brave soldiers from Beiliang, feared throughout the world, and I will definitely crush your tiny Shazhou to the ground!
When Qi Dangguo saw Xu Fengnian covered in bruises, he couldn't help but become furious and furious.

"Assholes, why are you abusing the prince!"

Qian Sha chuckled, "What a joke, this son of a bitch wanted to kill the prince, the prince was very merciful to spare his life."

As soon as he uttered these words, a hurricane suddenly swept in, and an old man flew up into the air in anger.

In an instant, the sky and the earth changed color, and a strong sandstorm swept in!

"Who are you calling a son of a bitch?"

Seeing that the other party had the cultivation level of a half-step earth immortal, Ba Linglong immediately dismounted and became alert. The eight of them were connected with their true energy and stood steadily in the storm.

Only then did Qi Lianhua discover that these eight people actually formed a formation that firmly blocked the power of his celestial phenomenon.

There are eight Linglong, two Confucianists, two Buddhists, two Taoists and two warriors. Now there are two Confucian celestial phenomena, two Buddhist Vajra, two Taoist Zhixuan and two warrior Vajra.

Any one of them would be killed instantly by Qi Lianhua, but the combined strength of the eight of them is actually not weaker than a half-step earth immortal.

Qi Dangguo and a group of Beiliang masters looked at the confrontation between Qi Lianhua and the eight people in disbelief. Ba Linglong could actually fight against a half-step earth immortal!

Qi Lianhua suddenly thought of Xu Yanbing's boasting, and he himself was no less impressive.

"Under the Earthly Immortals, I am invincible!"

The broken sword at the waist came out, and a sword intent several meters long shot up into the sky, rushing towards a huge gate between heaven and earth, and towards Ba Linglong's protective true qi.

Seeing the power of this half-step earth immortal, the morale of the people in Beiliang was immediately boosted.

Xu Fengnian's eyes were shining and he almost roared.

"Grandpa, kill them, kill them!"

"These eight bastards tortured me for three years!"

"Grandpa, I want them dead!"

The huge sword energy was so powerful that it seemed to cut a hole in the earth!
"Kaka..."

The ground in front and behind Ba Linglong indeed cracked, and the ground was split in half by the sword energy!
However, at this time in the Ba Linglong Formation, the sounds of flutes, flutes, sabers, and swords were flying everywhere!
A shadow more than ten feet high rose into the sky. It was an eight-faced figure that used sixteen hands to push up Qi Lianhua's sword energy.

The eight people had different faces, different genders, different ages, but their eight mouths spoke the same words.

"The form cannot meet the shadow, the shadow cannot leave the form, different hearts are one, one body has eight sides."

The eight sounds were like rolling thunder, making the soldiers on Jiayu Pass dizzy and dazed.

The eight-faced man had such a strong aura that it crushed Qi Lianhua's sword energy into pieces!
Qi Lianhua stared at the figure in the air in amazement, and the broken knife in his hand fell to the ground unknowingly.

"Earth Immortal... the power of Earth Immortal!"

After his offensive was broken, the eight-faced man suddenly merged into one and became the appearance of a middle-aged man!

In fact, although the Eight Linglongs are eight templates, their original bodies are just one person.

After the eight people enter the first level, they can perform the art of fusion.

The man's shadow looked at Qi Lianhua coldly and said disdainfully, "Eight sides unite into one... and kill the Earth Immortal!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a sword energy rose from the shadow and a huge sword hundreds of feet long fell from the sky!

Qi Lianhua immediately landed on the ground and, together with the Beiliang masters, surrounded Xu Fengnian in the middle!
"Everyone, with more than a dozen of us working together, we can definitely block this sword energy!"

At Qi Lianhua's command, everyone tried their best. They all knew that if they couldn't withstand the sword energy, they would all die here.

The earth continued to tremble, and the powerful pressure of true Qi made Qi Lianhua and others unable to raise their heads!

"puff!"

Qi Lianhua, the strongest one, spat out a mouthful of blood, and the others were all pale and sweating profusely!
"Boom!"

Qi Lianhua only heard a loud noise behind him, and a huge crack appeared on the majestic Jiayuguan Pass starting from the top of the city wall!

After a while, the wind died down and the clouds dispersed, and Ba Linglong turned around and left.

The people of Beiliang managed to hold on, but the Jiayu Pass behind them had been split into two, and the city gate had been split open.

Xu Fengnian looked towards the northwest with fierce eyes and let out a furious roar!

"Grandpa, I want to learn martial arts!"

"I will personally conquer the northwest and flatten Shazhou!"
