Chapter 87 Princess Suizhu
On the day when Ye Qi reached the celestial realm, Zhao Xituan, the celestial master of Mount Longhu, came to Mount Wudang.

Because the martial arts Zhao Xituan practiced were too special, the requirements for his successor were extremely strict, and the person had to be of excellent physique.

After listening to Jian Jiuhuang's introduction of Huang Man'er, the two reached a deal. Old Huang went to Wudi City to fight Wang Xianzhi and test the opponent's true strength, while Longhu Mountain would do its best to protect Huang Man'er. After the deal was reached, Zhao Xituan went to Wudang Mountain without stopping to recruit disciples.

For the sake of his brother Xu Fengnian, Huang Man'er was willing to become his disciple and immediately set off for Longhu Mountain.

The old Taoist priest received a secret letter before leaving. He looked at Xu Fengnian but didn't know how to start the conversation.

"What happened?" Xu Fengnian asked puzzledly.

Zhao Xituan's face was solemn: "I just got the news too."

"It's about me? Tell me!"

"Hey! Jian Jiuhuang is dead."

Hearing this, Xu Fengnian was struck by lightning and quickly snatched the secret letter to check it.

The letter described that after Jian Jiuhuang arrived at Wudi City, he first ordered beef and peanuts at the tavern outside the city, then poured two bowls of rice wine, first toasted his master, then shouted, "Serve wine to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." After eating and drinking, he flew to the Wudi Tower with the wind under his feet. After fighting with Wang Xianzhi for 68 moves, he used Jian Jiuliu Qianli. This sword was like the Milky Way hanging upside down and pouring down for thousands of miles, which was obviously not a human swordsmanship. Wang Xianzhi began to deal with it seriously, but Lao Huang was eventually old and weak. After fighting for another 49 moves, he finally died of exhaustion. His body sat cross-legged on the top of the city, facing north, and he did not fall down even after death.

"Where is his sword box?" Xu Fengnian asked absentmindedly.

"Left on the top of Emperor Wu's city wall." Zhao Xituan said.

Some people also heard that he was humming a strange ballad until his death: Old dog, old dog, there is no one in the world, with a broken tail, there is no way back.

As the ballad echoed in Xu Fengnian's ears, the scene in which Lao Huang persuaded him to learn martial arts during his travels flashed back to him quickly like a revolving lantern. Looking at the secret letter in front of him that expressed the admiration of the world for Lao Huang's swordsmanship, Xu Fengnian once again wondered in his heart, is learning martial arts really that important?
If he became the best in the world, would his younger brother not have to leave his hometown, and would Old Huang not have to prove his truth with his own body? The idea of ​​learning martial arts became stronger and stronger in Xu Fengnian's mind.

The secret letters in front of him seemed to gather together and turned into Old Huang who said to him, "I use my life as a visiting card to respectfully invite the prince to join the martial arts world."

From then on, Xu Fengnian decided to learn martial arts. He wanted to go to Wudi City himself to defeat Wang Xianzhi and retrieve Lao Huang's sword box.

Xu Fengnian wanted to learn martial arts, so he asked Ye Qi for advice.

Xu Fengnian likes to use a knife and has an excellent talent for practicing it. After all, he was a person who killed people at the age of six and nine. He quickly mastered the basic knife skills.

But these are far from enough.

He can practice swordsmanship, but what about his internal energy? He is already twenty years old.

Without internal strength as a foundation, being a second-rate master is already his limit.

The martial arts in the world are divided into nine grades. Only those who enter the grades can be considered to have entered the door. The first grade is divided into four realms: Vajra, Finger Mysterious, Celestial Phenomenon, and Land Immortal. There is a world of difference between each realm.

It is no exaggeration to say that at this moment, there are a hundred Old Huangs between Xu Fengnian and Wang Xianzhi.

But Xu Fengnian was not discouraged. He continued to practice sword skills under the waterfall, hoping that one day he would be able to pick up a sword and step into Wudi City to meet Wang Xianzhi, the number one man in the world.

During the time that Xu Fengnian was practicing martial arts, Jiang Ni planted a vegetable garden in Wudang Mountain, growing vegetables, cucumbers and sweet potatoes.

On this day, the vegetable garden faced a crisis.

Princess Suizhu of the Liyang royal family disguised herself as a man and came to settle accounts with Xu Fengnian, but she stepped on Jiang Ni Zhong's vegetables, and the little clay man frowned in pain instantly.

Princess Suizhu glanced down at her feet and stepped on it again, which made Jiang Ni unbearable.

"Stop stepping on my food!"

Jiang Ni pushed Princess Suizhu out of the vegetable garden.

"Why did you push me?"

"You stepped on my food!"

"You pushed me for these dishes?"

"This is mine." Princess Suizhu ignored him and asked Jiang Ni to apologize instead. However, Jiang Ni insisted on being right, which made the princess furious. She ordered her men to destroy the vegetable garden.

Jiang Ni watched the atrocities happening before her eyes and was completely powerless to stop them, until the vegetable garden was reduced to ruins.

Princess Suizhu was still being aggressive. Jiang Ni could no longer bear it and grabbed some dirt from the ground and threw it hard at the princess.

"Your Majesty!"

Princess Suizhu slapped Jiang Ni and asked her to kneel down.

Jiang Ni wanted to slap back, but was stopped by the guards beside the princess.

"You still want to fight back? Slap me in the face, and beat me until I admit my mistake!"

Just as the follower was about to take action, a long sword suddenly fell from the sky.

Ye Qi waited a long time for Xu Fengnian to arrive, so he threw his sword and inserted it between Jiang Ni and Princess Sui Zhu.

Ye Qi gave Xu Fengnian a secret book on sword-fighting. Xu Fengnian was so absorbed in his practice in the back mountain that he didn't come over, so Ye Qi had to take action.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please don't push your luck." Ye Qi stood in front of Jiang Ni.

"Who are you?" Princess Suizhu asked arrogantly.

"and who are you?"

"I am..." Princess Suizhu hesitated, she didn't want anyone to know her identity yet: "I asked you first!"

"You asked me first, so I should answer you. I haven't heard of you. Introduce yourself before asking others." Ye Qi didn't care who she was. She came to Wudang Mountain disguised as a man, so it was obvious that she was Princess Suizhu.

Princess Suizhu did not want to introduce herself, so she ordered her men to take action. She also wanted to test Ye Qi's martial arts.

A group of guards rushed over. Ye Qi directly exuded the imperial pressure, and these people fell to the ground and fainted before they took a few steps.

This surprised Sun Diaosi who was beside Princess Suizhu. Without using any true energy, all the guards fell down. It turned out that the young man in front of him had such strength.

All the guards fell down. Princess Suizhu felt humiliated and wanted to use her status to suppress them.

"Have all the people in Wudang Mountain died?" Princess Suizhu shouted.

As soon as he finished speaking, the leader Wang Zhonglou ran over with his little skirt lifted up.

"I now order you Wudang to take action immediately and capture him!"

Wang Zhonglou looked embarrassed and said, "I am ashamed to say that our sect only cultivates the mind and not martial arts."

"Wudang Mountain even dares to disobey the imperial order!?"

"My martial arts skills are really low, I am sorry to disappoint the princess."

Seeing Wang Zhonglou lying with his eyes open, Princess Suizhu knew that she had given up. She angrily threw away the night pearl in her hand to compensate Jiang Ni for the vegetable garden, and then left with her people in disgrace, but did not leave Wudang Mountain.

The trouble here is over, but the trouble in Wudang Mountain has just begun.

In the current situation in the world, the Liyang royal family and Beiliang are fighting openly and secretly, causing unrest in the martial arts world, and forces of all sizes have taken sides.

Wudang is located on the beach of rapids. If it hesitates and does not help, it will eventually be swallowed up by the huge waves.

The leader Wang Zhonglou went to the back mountain to find Xu Fengnian. He expressed his wish to seek refuge in Beiliang.

In exchange, Wang Zhonglou gave Xu Fengnian an enlightenment and passed on all the Dahuangting Qi that he had cultivated throughout his life to Xu Fengnian, helping him to eliminate the obstacles to his internal strength and ascend to the top of the Wudi City as soon as possible.
