Chapter 237 Xu Zhihu refuses to ascend! Hong Xixiang is heartbroken!

Xu Weixiong rode his horse around Tingchao Lake again and again, choosing places with uneven roads and protruding rocks.

The dignified Prince of Beiliang, Chen Zhibao, had been smashed beyond recognition by rocks, his armor torn into rags, his body covered in blood, not a single piece of skin or flesh intact.

A trail of blood was left on the edge of Tingchao Lake, and Chen Zhibao was dragged against rocks, ice chips, and broken swords.

Chen Zhibao, a famous general who had fought many battles, was very tough at first, and he endured the severe pain without crying out. But gradually the pain broke through his will, and every collision made him feel heartbroken.

With his limbs broken and his meridians no longer unblocked, Chen Zhibao had become a complete cripple, and heart-wrenching screams could be heard.

"Ah! Xu Weixiong, you really have a heart as vicious as a snake!"

"If I hadn't spared your life back then, you wouldn't be where you are today!"

"You didn't even think about repaying me for saving your life, but you treated me so badly!"

Xu Weixiong's face became even gloomier. He used the long whip in his hand to hit Chen Zhibao so hard that his mouth and nose started bleeding and all his teeth fell out.

The screams of the land immortal Chen Zhibao made everyone on the lake feel a chill in their hearts and filled with fear.

At this moment, Xu Xiao was staring at the gate of his palace. Jinyiwei walked out of the palace one by one, and the bodies of the people in the palace were carried out one by one.

Except for Xu Yanbing and other guards who were protecting Xu Xiao, who were still around Xu Xiao, everyone in the palace was killed, and the corpses piled up like a mountain in front of the palace gate!
At the back door of the palace, the martial arts secrets of Tingchao Pavilion were also taken away in carts, and the entire Beiliang Palace was almost reduced to a wasteland.

Xu Xiao and Xu Fengnian, father and son, were both shocked and angry that Li Changan actually held such a powerful force in his hands that he could massacre the Beiliang Palace, one of the three forbidden areas in the martial arts world!
The tough battle on the ice became less suspenseful because Li Changan freed his hands.

Li Changan blasted out with a Sky Frost Fist, and the Dragon and Tiger Heavenly Master Zhao Danping was directly turned into an ice sculpture and then shattered into powder.

Zhao Danxia was besieged by Wu Liuding and Zhang Heng, and her life was hanging by a thread.

"Li Changan, how dare you kill the Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain? Are you really planning to raise the flag of rebellion?"

Li Changan said calmly, "Your Liyang court regards me as an enemy, so I certainly cannot disappoint Zhao Chun's expectations."

Seeing that Li Changan was showing his rebellious intentions, Zhao Danxia used the masters of her sect to put pressure on Li Changan.

"My Longhu Mountain has a very deep foundation. Over the past 1,600 years, there have been 64 immortals who have ascended to heaven!"

"There are two more earth immortals in our sect now. Their cultivation is not comparable to that of a waste like Chen Zhibao who just became an earth immortal!"

"You'd better be smart and let me go, otherwise I from Longhu Mountain will help your majesty to massacre the Tang Palace!"

Li Changan sneered, "You are so arrogant, just kill him."

As soon as Li Changan finished speaking, Wu Liuding and Zhang Heng's swords pierced Zhao Danxia's chest together, and the two heavenly masters all died in Beiliang.

Han Shengxuan's three thousand red silk threads were completely torn into pieces by Li Changan's wind power. Cao Zhengchun punched Han Shengxuan in the back, completely crippling him.

"Li Changan, do you dare to kill an angel?"

Han Shengxuan was afraid. This fierce eunuch all his life felt a chill in his heart after seeing Li Changan slaughtering the two Heavenly Masters of Longhu Mountain.

Zhao Chun planned to eliminate Li Changan, but Li Changan took the initiative and not only kidnapped the princess, but now he also wanted to eradicate Beiliang completely.

Hearing Han Shengxuan calling himself an angel, Cao Zhengchun chuckled and slapped his colleague to the ground.

"Fuck you angel!"

Han Shengxuan was spitting blood from his mouth, was seriously injured, and couldn't even raise his internal energy.

Princess Zhao Fengya of Suizhu was standing not far away, watching the scene with trembling all over.

This Han Diaosi was very famous in the imperial palace, and most of the concubines and princesses were afraid of this emperor's attendant.

But this notorious eunuch was now under the feet of Cao Zhengchun, and the skin on his face was almost frozen to the ice.

Cao Zhengchun glanced at Zhao Fengya with a smile and said, "Princess, don't be afraid. As long as you serve His Royal Highness the Prince of Tang well in the future, you may be able to become a concubine in the future."

Cao Zhengchun smiled gently, but Zhao Fengya felt cold all over and couldn't help shivering.

The next moment, Cao Zhengchun smiled and crushed Han Diaosi's head with one foot, then crushed it hard with his foot.

"what!"

Zhao Fengya let out an ear-piercing scream and her mood plummeted to the bottom. She knew she was beyond help.

Now she can only be taken back to Shazhou by Li Changan. Such a noble lady has to become a slave.

The last glimmer of hope in her heart was completely shattered, and she had no strength left in her body.

At this time, Xu Xiao roared angrily, "Li Changan, you butcher!"

When the corpses in the Beiliang Palace piled up into a mountain and Chen Zhibao's bloody and broken body was placed on the top floor, Xu Xiao finally couldn't bear it anymore.

Xu Fengnian suppressed the fear in his heart and tried hard to suppress the terror from the bottom of his heart, and held tightly back Xu Longxiang who was about to fight with Li Changan.

The battle on the ice has ended. All the martial arts figures invited by the Beiliang side have been killed, and the entire lake surface has almost turned blood red.

Li Changan watched all this with satisfaction and smiled coldly at Xu Xiao. It was really ironic that Xu Xiao called him a butcher.

"Xu Rentu, I am only imitating your behavior. You must be ruthless and cruel to your opponents."

Xu Xiao looked at the Jinyiwei rushing out of the palace and the masters gradually surrounding them on the lake, and couldn't help feeling a little sad.

It was really unexpected that there would come a day when he would be surrounded and on the verge of life and death.

At this time, Xu Yanbing whispered, "Your Highness, we still have dozens of warriors here. We should have no problem fighting to the death to protect your father and son and get out."

Yuan Zuozong said, "Your Highness, 30,000 guards will be coming over from the foot of the mountain soon. When the army is assembled, Li Changan will not be able to do whatever he wants."

At this moment, the cry of a crane spread throughout Qingliang Mountain, and a huge crane flew from the horizon.

On the back of the crane, there was a Taoist priest in a white Taoist robe standing faintly, standing proudly and coming towards the wind.

Everyone in the Beiliang Palace was shocked, wondering who this expert was.

Xu Zhihu, standing among the Jinyiwei, looked at the crane from afar and had a strange sense of familiarity, but he couldn't remember too much.

"Ugh……"

A long sigh, as if the person who made the sigh had a huge depression in his heart.

Xu Longxiang was the first to shout, "It's Wudang Hong Xixiang!"

The people of Beiliang gradually saw Hong Xixiang's face clearly, and hope began to grow in their hearts.

"Didn't Hong Xixiang say that he would never leave the mountain until he was number one in the world?"

"Has he become the best in the world?"

"The prince must have invited us here, but why did he come so late?"

"I heard that Hong Xixiang has always had a special affection for the eldest princess. When the princess went to Mount Wudang to burn incense at the age of fourteen, Hong Xixiang kept talking about her."

"He's not here to steal the bride, is he?"

Even the masters of the Tang Palace were stunned by Hong Xixiang's aura. Riding a crane to the west was indeed something that no ordinary person could do!
All eyes turned to the Taoist priest in white. Hong Xixiang turned his eyes and looked at the woman in red that he had been thinking about.

Cao Zhengchun asked, "Little Taoist, what are you doing here? Are you Xu Xiao's helper?" Seeing that Xu Zhihu still didn't look at him and had a cold expression, Hong Xixiang couldn't help feeling a pain in his heart.

However, the emotions from his previous life made his chest feel warm, and the waves of throbbing made him unable to control himself.

"I came here only to ask Hongyi a question."

After eight hundred years, the woman that Lu Zu had loved in vain was right before him.

Then, Hong Xixiang turned to Xu Zhihu and said in a gentle voice, "May I ask, Princess, are you willing to ascend to the immortal world and get rid of the troubles of the world forever?"

Xu Xiao and his son were both very surprised. Hong Xixiang did not come to help, but to ask this question.

All the martial artists present looked at Hong Xixiang with some sneers.

"It's not like how the immortals on earth can ascend. You, Hong Xixiang, are just a great celestial phenomenon now."

"You can ascend if you want. You are the gatekeeper of the fairyland!"

"This little Taoist priest is daydreaming. Will he become a fool?"

Xu Xiao and Xu Fengnian, father and son, were also a little confused when they heard Hong Xixiang's incoherent words. This man was too arrogant.

Ascending to heaven and becoming an immortal is what many masters dream of, and it is also a goal that many people cannot achieve even after practicing for a lifetime.

Although the temptation of ascending to become an immortal was great, Xu Zhihu was also very stunned and had no idea what was going on.

Ever since she brought Xu Fengnian back from Shazhou, she has been feeling troubled, and her deep-seated support for Beiliang has gradually wavered.

Just like not long ago when Xu Weixiong put a sword on her neck and asked her whether she wanted to die or marry Li Changan, she chose the latter without much hesitation.

Over the past six months, the cold treatment she received from the Beiliang Palace had made her want to escape from Beiliang. She thought that marrying Li Changan was a foregone conclusion, but Han Diaosi brought the imperial edict and the marriage was cancelled.

Xu Zhihu felt that she was like a joke, like a tool, like a bargaining chip that could be manipulated at will.

It seemed as if God was playing a huge joke on her. Now a man she had no impression of suddenly appeared and wanted to send her to the fairyland.

Xu Zhihu now really doesn’t understand the situation.

"Master, you and I are not familiar with each other, so how can we talk about ascension?"

Xu Zhihu had no memory of his past life, so why would he suddenly agree to help Hong Xixiang ascend to the immortal world?

Hong Xixiang released the true energy in his body, and his great celestial power was clearly revealed.

Li Chungang swallowed again, "Another evildoer has arrived!"

"This kid's celestial phenomenon is not the path of a warrior. I can't tell what path it is..."

Deng Tai'a couldn't help but sigh, "Although this person is not a land immortal, he is much stronger than Chen Zhibao."

"Looking at his Qi pressure, it should be enough to fight against King Tang, but how did he cultivate such a great celestial phenomenon?"

In fact, Hong Xixiang’s practice is more like awakening than sudden enlightenment, which is the so-called way of heaven.

If the time is right, he can take a further step into the realm of earthly immortal and restore Lu Zu's cultivation!

Facing everyone's doubts, Hong Xixiang replied in a deep voice, "I was the wanderer Lü Dongxuan five hundred years ago, and Qi Xuanzhen from Longhu Mountain fifty years ago. Now I am Hong Xixiang from Wudang. I have cultivated merits for seven hundred years."

"Lü Zu refused to enter the Heavenly Gate for his beloved Red Dress, and Qi Xuanzhen chose to reincarnate because he did not find Red Dress."

"I finally found you, Xu Zhihu, you are the reincarnation of Hong Yi!"

"I have accumulated merits for seven hundred years in exchange for your ascension on a crane. If that is not enough, I will cultivate for another three hundred years!"

As soon as these words were spoken, there was silence all around.

It turns out that Hong Xixiang has such a background, it turns out that he is the reincarnation of a powerful being, it turns out that he can really help others ascend to heaven!
Everyone's eyes were filled with excitement. Someone was willing to use his own thousand years of cultivation to exchange for another person's ascension. There was such a good thing in the world!

Especially Xu Fengnian, but he was not happy for his elder sister, but was full of expectations for his own future!
Hong Xi Xiang is the reincarnation of a powerful being, so he can step into the great celestial phenomenon, awaken his memory, and even replace someone else to ascend!
He, Xu Fengnian, is the reincarnation of the Great Emperor Zhenwu, so he is much stronger than Lu Zu!

At this moment, Xu Fengnian was even more determined to pretend to be a grandson. He would keep a low profile and wait until his cultivation level was awakened before seeking revenge on Li Changan.

As his eyes flickered, he suddenly saw Li Changan seemed to sneer at him, and then he heard Li Changan's words.

"What belongs to the previous life belongs to the previous life, and what belongs to this life belongs to this life."

"Those in heaven are immortals, and those on earth are settled by human beings."

"Since we have already been reincarnated, why bother talking about the past entanglements? One life after another!"

"Xu Zhihu has agreed to marry me. Hong Xixiang, you must take her away, but you must keep your life!"

Hong Xixiang has the luck of Taoism, and Li Changan doesn't want to let him go.

At this moment, Hong Xixiang's inner energy suddenly burst out, "Red Clothes!"

"If you are forced by Li Changan, I will kill him now and then give you a gift and ascend to heaven!"

Although he has not yet entered the realm of terrestrial immortal, Hong Xixiang is very confident in his cultivation. After all, he is the reincarnation of Lu Zu!
His eyes were passionate and gentle, and his tone was somewhat urgent. With just one word from Xu Zhihu, he could send her to heaven.

Before Xu Zhihu could answer, Li Changan's voice came first.

"As expected of a reincarnated god, you can arbitrarily decide other people's lives and deaths. You are really willful."

"Hong Yi has been reincarnated many times, and the current Xu Zhihu is no longer Hong Yi. You are obsessed with reincarnation to find Hong Yi, but you are just impressing yourself."

"You are so lost in your own deep affection that Hongyi has started over again for many lifetimes."

Hearing this, Hong Xixiang's true energy suddenly fluctuated, "Nonsense!"

However, he felt a little heavy in his heart. He could cultivate to the level of an earthly immortal and awaken his memories of his past lives.

But Hongyi has been a mortal in every life, and now he has no idea how many times he has been reincarnated. How can he still remember what happened in the past?

"Hongyi, as long as you are willing, I will let you ascend immediately!"

Everyone's attention was once again focused on the red dress at the gate of the palace.

Xu Zhihu lowered her eyes and frowned tightly, then she moved her red lips slightly and gave an answer that surprised everyone.

"King Tang is right. What does an ancient man who has been dead for more than 700 years have to do with me, Xu Zhihu?"

"I do not want to!"

Hong Xixiang felt as if struck by lightning and stood there in a daze. He seemed to hear the sound of his own Taoist heart breaking.

"why why……"

"Is it... just to marry Li Changan?"

Xu Zhihu's answer was devoid of any emotion, "Who I marry is none of your business."

"I just don't want to be manipulated by others anymore!"
