Chapter 33 Why would you rather like men than me?
On the upper floor of the pavilion.
Li Anlan watched as the Prince of Kaoshan leaped into the city and rushed toward the east gate. The gloom on her face dissipated, knowing that the grain supplies were safe.
Even so, she still couldn't be happy.
Looking towards Chu Sheng's courtyard, she sighed deeply, "What a fine young man, why does he have homosexual tendencies?"
She had already decided that she would no longer bother Chu Sheng, and would set off home once the matter with Zhen Yuecheng was settled.
Love comes quickly and goes quickly, much like a tornado.
She hadn't been interested in anyone for many years, but when she met Chu Sheng, she fell in love at first sight. She thought he was her soulmate, but alas, she no longer believed in love.
This moment.
Down in the east of the city.
The two butchers were surrounded by Xia's army and were fighting like cornered beasts.
"My wife, we can't leave this time."
"My lord, I'm not afraid to die alongside you!"
The butcher gave a bitter smile. "I've dragged you into this. I just hope they can complete their mission."
At this point, he roared at Wei Jing and Huo Zhan, "We've been hiding our identities for years, living in Zhenyue City for six or seven years. How exactly were our identities exposed? Please let me die knowing the truth."
Wei Jing said, "Your expectations are too high."
Butcher:"?"
He was enraged that even this small request could not be met, and that his demands were too high. He drew his sword and charged at Wei Jing.
"Wei Jing, leave them alive!" Li Wuji's voice came from the air. With a light wave of his sleeve, powerful internal force struck the butcher and Rakshasa, sending them flying like kites with broken strings.
Once you reach the Grandmaster level, you don't even need to lift a finger; the sheer pressure of your martial arts aura is enough to easily suppress the two of them.
puff.
puff.
Blood spurted from the butcher's mouth. He tried several times to get up, but under Li Wuji's oppressive aura, it was as if he was carrying a mountain on his back, and he was unable to get up at all.
"Take them back!" Li Wuji ordered coldly. "Wei Jing, are these two the Shadow Guards of the Tang Dynasty?"
Wei Jing replied, "Your Highness, no."
"We have almost complete information on the whereabouts of the Shadow Guards within the city, and these two cannot be members of the Shadow Guards."
"Since it's not him, take him back and interrogate him properly."
"I will find out their identities in one hour."
Li Wuji turned and rushed towards the grain supplies.
Wei Jing waved his hand, signaling the soldiers beside him to pick up the two butchers with forks, "Take them back for interrogation."
The butcher's horrified gaze fell on Li Wuji's departing figure. "King Kao Shan, a Grandmaster?"
Once upon a time, he had met the Pavilion Master Dugu Feng in the Cloud Pavilion. Just now, Li Wuji's aura was exactly the same as the Pavilion Master's, which meant that he had already stepped into the Grandmaster realm.
After so many years, Li Wuji has failed to reach the Grandmaster level. How could he break through at this critical juncture? The Butcher knew that the mission to destroy the grain supplies was impossible to complete.
His face was ashen, knowing that he would surely die if he fell into the hands of the Xia army, but his injuries were too severe and he had no strength to fight.
The grain and fodder were piled up on the open ground south of the city, and there were as many as 20,000 soldiers guarding the grain and fodder, layer upon layer, while there were fewer than 200 disciples of Yuntian Pavilion inside the city.
If you want to destroy the supply lines by force, a sneak attack might have a chance of success, but a head-on attack would be like throwing an egg against a rock.
They charged several times in succession, but were ultimately defeated by Li Yuanxuan and Li Futian.
In a one-on-one fight, the soldiers would definitely be no match for the Yuntian Pavilion disciples, but when it comes to charging into formations, the Great Xia soldiers would absolutely crush the Yuntian disciples. Their teamwork was impeccable and seamless.
Among the disciples of Yuntian Pavilion, only three ninth-rank martial artists were able to handle the situation with ease. The others, who were not killed by the flying arrows, were covered in wounds and in a sorry state.
One man held a gun, the other an axe, both clad in black armor, standing imposingly at the forefront of the grain supply, like two guardian deities.
Dugu Mou, holding two swords and panting heavily, looked at the Xia army, which stood tall and unmoving like a mountain. He knew that it would be impossible to destroy the supply lines by force.
The great battle has reached this point, but the King of Kao Shan has still not arrived.
They have clearly missed the best opportunity; if they continue fighting, they will surely be wiped out.
"withdraw!"
"Evacuate immediately!"
At his command, Dugu Mou turned to leave.
"Since we're here, we might as well make the best of it!"
"Who told you to leave? What do you think Zhenyue City is, your backyard?"
"Do you think I don't exist?"
Li Wuji's powerful and domineering voice rang out. At this moment, he once again appeared as a war god in the eyes of the world. He arrived alone, stepping through the air, and his powerful internal force pressed down on Dugu Mou and the others.
Dugu Mou and his group were as if they had been frozen in place, unable to move at all, and even struggling was a luxury.
"Fu Tian, Yuan Xuan, take them all back."
A ninth-rank martial artist is nothing but an ant in front of a grandmaster, utterly powerless to fight.
Li Wuji arrived and forcefully suppressed the unrest in the city, which quickly returned to peace.
As the sun sets, weary birds return to their nests.
Crimson rays of sunlight fell upon the city walls. Chu Sheng appeared in the courtyard, quietly gazing at the setting sun, muttering to himself, "The Northern Underworld Palace is indeed domineering. It made me advance to Grandmaster just by devouring a withered monk."
That's a bit outrageous.
Just as he was immersed in joy, Ling Shuo's voice came from behind him, "Young Master, I have broken through. Thank you for bestowing this opportunity upon me."
"Ninth-rank martial artist, you still have a long way to go. Keep going."
Ling Shuo stood beside Chu Sheng. "Young Master, you've also broken through?"
Chu Sheng said, "My breakthrough was unexpected?"
Ling Shuo's Adam's apple bobbed, and he was shocked. "Young Master, you...you are a Grandmaster."
Chu Sheng said, "I accidentally broke through to the Grandmaster level, and my cultivation is barely enough now."
'
""
Ling Shuo was shocked, knowing that Chu Sheng had once again broken the record in the martial arts world. An eighteen-year-old Grandmaster was already a unique achievement in the martial arts world, and no one in the martial arts world for three hundred years had achieved such a feat.
To this, Chu Sheng can only say one thing: I am unprecedented and unparalleled.
I was eighteen that year, hands in my pockets, unaware of what an opponent was.
At this time.
Li Wuji stepped into the courtyard with great joy and excitedly went forward, "Young Master, you've emerged from seclusion."
Chu Sheng's gaze fell on Li Wuji. "You're quite good. You've successfully entered the Grandmaster realm. That's something to be happy about."
"Young Master, there's another piece of good news," Li Wuji said excitedly. "Thanks to your reminder, the butcher shop in the west of the city and some people were targeting our supplies. We made preparations in advance and wiped them out in one fell swoop."
"After interrogation, we learned that these people came from the Yuntian Pavilion of the Tang Dynasty. They wanted to burn the grain and fodder in the city, and use the fire as a signal so that Qin Zhantian and the experts from the Yuntian Pavilion would attack the city."
"I plan to use the same trick again, to lure Qin Zhantian and the experts from Yuntian Pavilion into the city, and then wipe them out in one fell swoop."
"With this battle over, there will be no more war in the Eastern Territory for the next ten years."
"Young Master, please rest in the manor. I will personally escort you to Martial Emperor City after I finish the battle."
Chu Sheng said, "No need for that. You prepare for the great battle tonight, and I'll take Ling Shuo away in a bit."
Li Wuji was taken aback. "Young Master, aren't you taking An Lan with you?"
"The world is dangerous; she's not suited to travel with me. Find some time to send someone to escort her back to the capital." Chu Sheng finished speaking, glancing sideways at Ling Shuo. "Let's go!"
"Chu Sheng, wait a minute!" Li Anlan's voice came from behind Chu Sheng. "I have a question for you."
Chu Sheng followed Li Anlan for a while, then asked, "Your Highness, what do you want to ask?"
Li Anlan said, "Chu Sheng, why would you rather like men than like me?"
Chu Sheng: "?
