Chapter 76

After the martial arts conference at Shaolin Temple, Xiaofeng returned to the Liao Kingdom alone. As the Southern Duke of the Liao Kingdom, Xiaofeng had many military affairs to handle.

Azhu and Azi followed Xuzhu to Lingjiu Palace. Azhu's eyes needed the medical skills of Lingjiu Palace to be treated.

Xiaofeng had already agreed with Azhu that once her eyes were fully recovered, he would come to Tianshan to pick her and Azi up.

Duan Yu returned to Yunnan Dali with Duan Zhengchun and Dao Baifeng.

Now, Xiaofeng, Xuzhu, Duan Yu, and even Murong Fu, like Wang Yue, had received invitations from the Western Xia, hoping they would go to Western Xia to participate in the selection for the imperial son-in-law.

As the Southern Duke of the Liao Kingdom, representing the Liao Kingdom, Xiaofeng naturally had to go. Even if he didn't participate in the selection, he should give Western Xia some face, as this had already risen to the level of state affairs.

Xuzhu was going to accompany Duan Yu.

The one most enthusiastic about becoming the imperial son-in-law was still Murong Fu.

...

At Tianshan Lingjiu Palace, Azi was taking a walk with Azhu.

"Sister, how do you feel today? Are your eyes better than yesterday?" Azi asked.

Azhu nodded and said, "Yes, much better. Yesterday, I could only feel the light, but today I can see blurry figures."

Azi smiled and said, "Xuzhu does have some skills. He really can cure your eyes. It looks like in a few more days, your eyes will be completely recovered. Sister, once your eyes are better, we'll go to the Liao Kingdom to find Brother-in-Law."

Azhu said, "Azi, don't be disrespectful. Xuzhu is not someone you can call by his name. You should call him Second Brother, you know?"

At this moment, Xuzhu and Duan Yu arrived.

Xuzhu said, "Sister-in-law, I and Third Brother are going to Western Xia. This time, Eldest Brother should also be going. I plan to take you and Azi with us. Once we get to Western Xia, your eyes might be completely healed."

Azi excitedly said, "Great, great! Going to Western Xia, that's really wonderful. I've never been to Western Xia before. When are we leaving?"

Azhu, hearing that she could see Xiaofeng, was of course happy: "Yes, I'll follow Second Brother."

Xuzhu smiled and said, "We'll leave the mountain tomorrow."

...

In the Southern Duke's residence in the Liao Kingdom's Nanjing City, Xiaofeng was about to head to Western Xia when a guard came in to report, "Duke, someone is here to see you."

Xiaofeng was also puzzled. At this time, someone wanted to see him. Who could it be?

"Please him in!"

Xiaofeng came to the hall and saw a middle-aged man with white hair wearing a wolf fur coat.

Xiaofeng was inwardly shaken. Although this white-haired middle-aged man had no trace of true energy, Xiaofeng could keenly sense that he was definitely a grandmaster.

The feeling Xiaofeng got from this white-haired middle-aged man was the same as he had felt from the Sweeping Monk and Wang Yue. This simple, unadorned aura was unique to grandmasters.

"Senior, I wonder what brings you to see me, Zhao Xiaofeng?" Xiaofeng bowed respectfully and said.

The white-haired middle-aged man nodded and said, "Not bad, very powerful yang energy. Xiaofeng, you may not know who I am, but I am the 'Wolf God.' I believe you have heard of my name."

"Wolf God?" Xiaofeng was shocked, "I wonder why the Wolf God Senior has come..."

Xiaofeng didn't know about the Wolf God before, but now he did. The Wolf God was a grandmaster, the first-rate martial artist in the Liao Kingdom, and the protector of the entire Liao Kingdom.

Facing such a person, even as the Southern Duke, Xiaofeng felt immense pressure.

The Wolf God smiled and said, "Xiaofeng, although you have exceptional talent, your cultivation is still lacking. After you return from Western Xia, come to my Blood Wave Valley. With my guidance, you should be able to become a grandmaster."

Xiaofeng didn't know why the Wolf God wanted to teach him directly, but such a good opportunity was something he couldn't even dream of.

"Yes, Senior," Xiaofeng said happily.

The figure of the Wolf God gradually faded and finally disappeared.

It turned out that the Wolf God had already left, and what remained was just a residual image.

...

Wang Yue practiced martial arts while traveling. It took him a month to travel from Jiangnan to Western Xia.

Now that Wang Yue had true energy, he could also walk on water like Li Qiushui.

Mountains and rivers could not stop Wang Yue. Using the Yu Step and lightness skills, he crossed mountains and rivers as if they were nothing.

"I've arrived at the imperial city," Wang Yue stood on the lake, like a celestial being descending from heaven.

"This time, taking away the books of the Xianyao Sect is secondary. The main goal is to kill Li Xuan!"

A flash of killing intent appeared in Wang Yue's eyes: "Li Xuan, I said that as long as I, Wang Yue, am alive, you will die by my hands."

Wang Yue transformed into a streak of light and flew towards the Western Xia imperial palace.

...

Wang Yue stood on the city wall of the Western Xia imperial palace and immediately sensed Li Xuan's location.

Grandmasters possess mental power, and Wang Yue used his mental strength to easily find him. It would be hard not to find him.

"Li Xuan!"

A clearly visible sound wave came from Wang Yue's mouth, shaking the entire imperial city. Everyone was shocked and looked at Wang Yue on the city wall.

"I, Wang Yue, have arrived. Come out!"

A black streak of light flashed, and Li Xuan appeared on the city wall fifty zhang away from Wang Yue.

Seeing that Wang Yue had become a grandmaster, Li Xuan's pupils constricted: "Wang Yue, you've become a grandmaster? How is that possible? How could it be so fast?"

Originally, Li Xuan estimated that it would take Wang Yue at least ten years to become a grandmaster, but he didn't expect that in less than five months, Wang Yue had already become a grandmaster.

"It's over," Li Xuan lamented in his heart.

Not only would Western Xia be doomed, but even the Liao Kingdom would be doomed.

They couldn't deal with Liu Qing, and now there was another Wang Yue. They had no chance of winning.

Then, Li Xuan's heart was filled with intense killing intent: "Although Wang Yue is a genius, he has just become a grandmaster. His strength and speed are definitely not a match for me. I will kill him now, even if it means paying a price. Wang Yue, you must die today!"

A newly-minted grandmaster could not compare to a seasoned grandmaster.

Li Xuan believed that even if Wang Yue had become a grandmaster, he was still no match for him.

Li Xuan flipped his hand, and a silver-white long sword appeared in his hand.

"Wang Yue, last time Liu Qing saved you, you didn't hide in the Six Fans Gate or Shaolin Temple, but you dared to come to Western Xia. You're truly courting death. Today, I'll see who can save you."

Li Xuan pointed the long sword at Wang Yue and said coldly.

Wang Yue smiled and said, "Li Xuan, last time, I was chased by you and the Wolf God, like a dog with no place to run. But I managed to escape from your hands. This time, I wonder if you can escape from mine?"

Wang Yue took a step with the Yu Step and instantly appeared in front of Li Xuan.

"Heavenly Seal!"

A huge palm print pressed down, carrying a mighty momentum, making Li Xuan feel a chill.

"Such powerful strength!" Li Xuan's sword hummed, "Kill!"

The sword beam shot out like a white pillar of light towards Wang Yue.

"Boom!"

The entire city wall collapsed, and dust flew everywhere.

Li Xuan was thrown back.

People in the imperial city watched the battle in shock.

Li Xuan, holding the long sword, channeled his true energy, and with a turn, he landed on the ground like a feather.

Li Xuan's mouth was stained with blood, and he looked at Wang Yue in shock.

"How is this possible? Wang Yue is just a newly-minted grandmaster, how can he have such powerful strength?"

Wang Yue's attack had at least 220,000 pounds of force, while Li Xuan's strength was only 200,000 pounds.

In terms of strength, Wang Yue completely outclassed Li Xuan.

The dust settled, and Wang Yue slowly walked out, facing Li Xuan and said, "Li Xuan, you are doomed today. No one can save you. Your strength is inferior to mine, and your speed is probably not as good as mine. This means you are destined to die!"

Although Li Xuan's sword skills were very powerful, they were still far behind Liu Qing.

Li Xuan's sword skills were strong because he was a grandmaster with powerful true energy. In terms of pure sword skill cultivation, he was not as good as Yelv Qiyun.

"Run!" Li Xuan transformed into a black streak of light and fled towards the Liao Kingdom.

The speed of a grandmaster was extremely fast. Each flash could cover a kilometer, and after a few flashes, Li Xuan was already several kilometers away from Wang Yue.

Wang Yue coldly laughed, "Run? Can you escape? This time, even if you go to heaven or earth, I will kill you!"

Wang Yue took a step with the Yu Step, covering a kilometer in a single step, and his figure quickly disappeared.

Everyone in the imperial city looked at the collapsed city wall in shock.

...

Wang Yue followed Li Xuan, and the distance between them was gradually closing.

"Li Xuan, before you became a grandmaster, your speed was beyond my reach, but now it seems to be nothing special. It's not even as good as mine. Li Xuan, I'm catching up to you. Ha ha." Wang Yue transmitted his voice with mental strength.

"I am an internal martial artist, and my true energy and qi are virtually inexhaustible. I'll see how much true energy you have to spend today!"

For a grandmaster, true energy and mental power were crucial. Once they were exhausted, they would die.

"Wang Yue, there's no deep-seated grudge between us. If you let me go, I won't team up with the Wolf God to attack the Song Dynasty. What do you say?" Li Xuan transmitted his voice.

Li Xuan had conceded, as he was truly no match for Wang Yue.

Wang Yue coldly laughed, "Whether you team up to attack the Song Dynasty or not, what does it have to do with me? Li Xuan, I'm here to kill you not for the Song Dynasty or the court, but for personal grievances. If it were for the Song Dynasty, Liu Qing and I could have teamed up, and you wouldn't have had a chance to escape. Last time, you tried to kill me as soon as we met because I had potential and was a threat. Now that I'm stronger than you, there's no reason to let you go..."

Wang Yue increased his strength, and his speed increased again, closing the distance between them. Now, they were less than a kilometer apart.

Li Xuan transmitted his voice, "Wang Yue, that was just a misunderstanding. You didn't die, and you even became a grandmaster. If it weren't for the pressure from me and the Wolf God, you wouldn't have broken through so quickly. Your becoming a grandmaster, we also had a significant contribution, didn't we?"

Wang Yue coldly laughed, "Yes, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have become a grandmaster so quickly. But even if you say anything, you are still doomed today. Hatred is hatred. Do you expect me to be grateful to you?"
