Chapter 141 A white-haired old man came with the East Sea
Above the river, a huge monster stood among the waves.

On the hull, lifelike reliefs swayed in the sunlight, as if they were about to jump out of the ship.

On top of the mast, the huge sail fluttered in the wind.

Under the sail, two figures stood quietly.

"Xuanyuan Jingcheng wanted his daughter to go with you to the Ming Dynasty to broaden his horizons. Why did you refuse?" Nangong Pushe suddenly spoke.

When they left that day, Xuanyuan Jingcheng saw them off and suddenly made a request, wanting Xuanyuan Qingfeng to follow Gao Changsheng and go to Ming Dynasty together.

Of course, Gao Changsheng declined in the end.

"Too weak and inexperienced to bring along."

Gao Changsheng shook his head casually.

Xuanyuan Qingfeng's strength in the later period was indeed not bad. Not only did he become the leader of the martial arts world, he also broke into the realm of land immortal.

But that was after going through a lot of hardships.

First, he experienced the death of Xuanyuan Jingcheng, and then he was alone in charge of Xuanyuan, which tempered his mind and temper.

Later, he received gifts from Liu Songtao and Zhao Huangchao, two people with whom he had a connection.

The combination of all these things created the final Xuanyuan Qingfeng.

But Xuanyuan Qingfeng at this time is obviously still a long way off, and now she is just a proud and arrogant young lady.

Gao Changsheng naturally would not bring along such a burden.

The opponent is different from Nangong Pushe. Although Nangong Pushe's strength is not conspicuous at this time, his martial arts heart has been established long ago. What he lacks now is only accumulation.

As for Xuanyuan Qingfeng, in Gao Changsheng's opinion, the one who treated her best was undoubtedly Xuanyuan Jingcheng's teaching.

"There's news from the Xuanyuan family that Xuanyuan Dapan has come out of seclusion and accepted Xuanyuan Qingfeng as his disciple. He has also handed over all family affairs to her, and Xuanyuan Jingcheng is assisting her."

Nangong Pushe spoke softly and told the latest changes in the Xuanyuan family.

And if you just think about it a little, you can see that there is something abnormal about this.

If Xuanyuan Qingfeng is really outstanding, it is not impossible for Xuanyuan Dapan to accept Xuanyuan Qingfeng as his disciple.

But it would be strange to leave everything to the other party so carelessly.

You know, before, Xuanyuan Dapan had always relied on his two lackeys, Xuanyuan Jingyi and Xuanyuan Jingxuan.

How could they suddenly deprive the two of their rights and give them to Xuanyuan Qingfeng from the first wife?

The most important thing is that there is an abrupt name among them, Xuanyuan Jingcheng.

No matter how you look at it, Xuanyuan Dapan would never let this person interfere in the family.

Others might be extremely confused, but how could Nangong Pushe, who had always followed Gao Changsheng, not understand?

Gao Changsheng must have been behind this.

"Haha, holding the emperor hostage to control the princes, moistening things silently, this is in line with Xuanyuan Jingcheng's character, and this scene is not in vain."

As soon as these words were spoken, Nangong Pushe understood instantly.

There was indeed communication between these two people.

Xuanyuan Jingcheng should have used Gao Changsheng's power to seriously injure or cripple Xuanyuan Dapan, and then directly controlled this ancestor.

Of course, all of this has a prerequisite, that is, Xuanyuan Jingcheng must at least have enough power to control the situation.

Otherwise, just looking at Xuanyuan Dapan's reputation, it is obviously impossible to suppress the people in the clan, especially his two younger brothers.

"Xuanyuan Jingcheng is indeed not simple."

Nangong Pushe raised his eyes and said, "I'm just curious. Since you've been asked to help, why don't you just kill Xuanyuan Dapan directly or even catch him all at once? Why go through so much trouble?"

"Haha." Gao Changsheng chuckled.

"Confucianists value legitimacy, at least on the surface."

"Of course, it's not impossible to suppress them forcefully, but the Xuanyuan family will inevitably be in turmoil, and some loss of power is unavoidable?"

Nangong Pushe raised her eyebrows, she heard the hidden meaning in Gao Changsheng's words.

"Another point is that although Xuanyuan Dapan is absurd, with his reputation, at least he can protect Huishan in the short term and give Xuanyuan Jingcheng enough time to grow."

"Old fox." Nangong Pushe understood in his heart, but still uttered a few words lightly.

The two of them had accomplished such a complicated plan with just a few glances and whispered words, and throughout the entire process, there was not a single leak.

Even until the moment they left, their behavior did not reveal any intimacy.

Gao Changsheng shook his head and smiled. He said nothing more and just looked quietly at the surging river ahead.

Nangong Pushe also put his worries to rest and just stood silently beside Gao Changsheng.

Just as Gao Changsheng and his party were riding on a boat, sailing down the river and heading towards the sea.

The situation in another place also underwent earth-shaking changes.

"So, the Yuan army is coming towards us?"

At Yumen Pass, the biting wind rolled in like a knife.

An old man with an upright figure stood in the wind like a pine tree, his eyes wide open and murderous aura unconsciously emanating from him.

The aura emanating from his body is enough to suffocate people.

It was Yang Lin, the King of Sui Dynasty.

"Yes, a large number of Yuan troops were spotted moving 150 miles from Yumen Pass. They are definitely coming for us."

"How dare you set your sights on our Great Sui Dynasty."

Yang Lin's voice was cold, and the anger in his words was almost overwhelming.

"Have you seen Temujin's tent?"

"Humph, without taking Xiangyang, you're turning to Yumen Pass. Do you think the Sui Dynasty is easier to bully than the Song Dynasty?"

"Okay, this time I want to see what the Qiexue Army of the Mobei Canglang is capable of."

The sound rolled, shaking the dust on the city wall to fall down.

"Your Highness, we haven't found any trace of Temujin." The person next to him spoke softly.

"Oh?"

After hearing this, Yang Lin was not surprised. Temujin was the commander-in-chief of the entire Yuan army, so it was not surprising that he did not show up at the first time.

"Which wing of the Yuan army will be the vanguard?"

Yang Lin spoke again.

"Three of them came together."

"Oh? Which of the four heroes are they? Chi Lao Wen? Mu Huali?"

Yang Lin spoke as a matter of course.

The news that Yang Lin had stationed at Yumen Pass was no longer a secret.

When Temujin sent troops, even if he did not lead the charge himself, he would definitely send out the four most capable men.

"No, it was Batu, the son of Jochi, Hulagu, the son of Tolui, and Kuyuk Timur, the son of Chagan Timur, the king of Ruyang."

"It is said that the latter two both had names from our Central Plains, Si Hanfei and Wang Baobao."

"These few are among the more outstanding juniors in the Mongol Yuan military."

Yang Lin nodded, but when he said this, the generals around him showed hesitation on their faces.

"Any more news? Tell me straight away."

"Your Majesty, according to our investigation, Temujin's camp has not moved and is still staying near Xiangyang."

"what?"

Yang Lin shouted angrily.

The already surging momentum erupted again.

"Temujin actually wants to fight on two fronts?"

"And he dares to underestimate me and the Sui Dynasty?"

"Batu, Si Hanfei, Wang Baobao, does he think my Great Sui is Goguryeo, and I am Fu Cailin? He actually wants to use me to train the young people!"

The war in Goryeo had just ended not long ago, and in that battle, Yang Lin brought along a group of younger generations from the Sui Dynasty, with the purpose of training generals on a real battlefield.

But that was Goryeo, a country that was not very powerful and had no famous generals.

Even so, there are veteran generals such as Yang Lin and Yu Juluo in the army.

At this time, facing such a powerful country as the Sui Dynasty, Temujin only sent young people as commanders and did not even show up himself.

This is not just arrogance, but a complete underestimation and humiliation of Yang Lin.

"Good, good, what a great Temujin."

At this moment, Yang Lin's voice sounded like the real Nine Nether Ice.

"Your Highness, please calm down. Don't fall into the enemy's trap." The general beside him spoke up immediately.

"Don't worry, I'm not so easily fooled by this trick."

"Hehe, I want to see what the descendants of the Mongols are like."

"Pass the order down, all troops on alert, I will wait for them at Yumen Pass."

"Yes."

Seeing that Yang Lin remained calm, several people breathed a sigh of relief.

"Also, monitor Temujin's movements with all your strength and report to me at any time."

"I just don't believe that he really dares to look down on the Great Sui Dynasty like this."

"Also, send a message to Lord Gao Tang and ask him to come to Yumen Pass as soon as possible."

Gao Changsheng, who was traveling by boat all the way, had no idea that the war had already reignited at this moment, and it was very likely the Yumen Pass of the Sui Dynasty.

After experiencing the defeat in Xiangyang, the Gray Wolf of Mobei actually set his sights on the Sui Dynasty.

At this time, the large ship had already gone down the river and entered the vast ocean along the estuary.

Liyang East China Sea.

This has always been a legendary place.

The root of all this, of course, is the city located on the shore of the East China Sea.

At the bow of the ship.

Gao Changsheng and Nangong Pushe still stood there calmly.

Looking at the sea ahead.

However, if you look closely, you can find that Nangong Pushe's delicate body seems extremely stiff at this moment.

A pair of shoulders were also shaking slightly.

If you turn to the front, you can see that the pupils in Nangong Pushe's beautiful eyes are constantly shrinking.

It was as if something incredible had happened.

And the reason for all this is because of the front of the ship.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

The deafening sound was like rolling thunder, imprinted into the ear frame. The world seemed to collapse completely at this moment.

Endless sea water rolled back.

Looking around, there was no longer any trace of anything else, the sky, the sun, all disappeared.

Sea water, all sea water.

All you can see is the clear blue water.

This is an extremely terrifying and horrifying picture.

It was as if the entire East China Sea suddenly turned over and stood before them like a wall.

The big ship slowly stopped, and they had to stop as well, because there was no way forward.

Nangong Pushe's heart was indeed trembling unconsciously.

Faced with this upside-down scene of the sea and the sky, anyone would probably be shocked.

Everyone knows that the sea is full of storms and dangers.

However, no matter how strong the wind was, it was impossible to stir up all the water in the East China Sea and create such a world-destroying scene.

Moreover, they had just entered the sea from the river and there was no strong wind around, so this situation was even less likely to occur.

Then, there is only one possibility.

Everything we see today must be caused by human effort.

Anyone who could create such a scene by himself must be an extremely terrifying person.

There is no one else like him in the East China Sea.

At this moment, above the surging blue sky, an old man with white hair slowly appeared.

"Wang! Xian! Zhi!"

Nangong Pushe's pupils trembled violently, and he uttered the other person's name word by word.

She was not wrong in her guess. In the East China Sea, there was someone who had the ability and the courage to create such a scene so openly.

There is only him.

The Lord of Wudi City, Wang Xianzhi, who claims to be the second best but is invincible and has been in Liyang for sixty years.

Nangong Pushe was not afraid, but his heart was shaking violently unconsciously.

Since the day she started practicing martial arts, Wang Xianzhi has been one of the targets she wanted to defeat.

After all, part of her mother's luck also fell into Wudi City.

But she never thought that she would meet the Emperor of East China Sea so early.

In addition, there is the most important point.

Why does Wang Xianzhi appear here?

Wudi City is indeed on the shore of the East China Sea.

But over the past sixty years, Wang Xianzhi has rarely left the city.

I have only heard that there are endless people going to Wudi City to challenge, but I have never heard that Wang Xianzhi took the initiative to leave the city to find anyone.

Nangong Pushe knew that although she had always regarded Wang Xianzhi as a target and an opponent to be defeated.

But there was no way the other party knew who she was. Even if he did, given his arrogance, he would never take the initiative to look for her.

Looking at all the people on the boat, there is only one person who could possibly lead out Wang Xianzhi.

Gao Changsheng.

Yes, Nangong Pushe could be sure that Wang Xianzhi’s sudden appearance here must be because of Gao Changsheng.

For a moment, deep worry appeared in Nangong Pushe's eyes.

Gao Changsheng’s strength is indeed terrifying.

But the person in front of me is Wang Xianzhi, the shadow of a man and the bark of a tree.

Faced with this person, who among the people in the martial arts world can remain calm?

At the same time, Nangong Pushe was also confused.

Why did Wang Xianzhi suddenly appear?

Was it commissioned by someone else? For example, Li Yang or some other force.

Li Yang certainly had this motive. Judging from the battle in Baichuan City alone, Li Yang and other forces must have been hoping that Gao Changsheng would die.

But how could Wang Xianzhi be easily moved?

Wudi City has always been an aloof force and has nothing to do with any party.

Even if Emperor Li Yang personally stepped in, it would be unlikely that he would be able to invite Wang Xianzhi.

As for the challenge?

The news that Gao Changsheng had broken into the Grandmaster level in Nanjing City had long since spread throughout the martial arts world.

Such a terrible vision was truly astonishing.

It is understandable that others were attracted and could not help but feel the desire to challenge.

But Wang Xianzhi doesn't seem to be that kind of person at all.

Except for the challenge to Li Chungang decades ago when he had not yet mastered martial arts, there has been no news of Wang Xianzhi challenging anyone else since then.

This is Wang Xianzhi's arrogance, and it is also the reason why he only fights against challengers of the same level.

And today, the other party actually took the initiative to appear in front of Gao Changsheng.

If this news were to get out, it would be enough to shock the entire world.

"Wang, is Wang Xianzhi going to challenge you?"

Nangong Pushe spoke softly, but his voice was trembling unconsciously.

Gao Changsheng didn't say anything.

Just stepped out of the boat.

The next second, a golden avenue seemed to appear under his feet.

Gao Changsheng walked up through the void, step by step.

In just a moment, the two of them were standing opposite each other.

On one side, under your feet is the blue sea that looks like a curtain reaching the sky.

And below the other side is endless void.

Nangong Pushe stared at the sky, feeling a little panic in his heart.

A faint feeling of powerlessness inexplicably came over me.

If it weren't for the internal energy supporting him, Nangong Pushe might have fallen to the ground at this moment.

Even so, Nangong Pushe could only put one hand on the side of the boat to support his body.

Wang Xianzhi came too suddenly.

No one could have imagined that just by going out to sea, such a shocking change would occur.

Gao Changsheng's strength is indeed unfathomable.

Even veteran astronomical masters like Xuanyuan Dapan couldn't withstand a single move from him.

Considering his age, it can already be described as a miracle.

Can face Wang Xianzhi.

Even Nangong Pushe did not have much confidence in him.

And at this moment in the sky.

Two figures, one old and one young, stood facing each other.

But no one spoke between the two.

Even apart from the scene below that seemed like an insurmountable chasm, neither of them showed any aura.

At first glance, they look like two statues standing in the air.

The wind was howling fiercely.

As we climbed higher, the sound of the wind around us became louder and louder.

But where the two stood, not a single sound of wind could be heard.

Even the terrifying sea water under Wang Xianzhi's feet did not show the slightest ripple.

It was as if the space around him had come to a complete standstill.

Time passes slowly.

The two of them just stared at each other in this posture.

No one knew how much time had passed, but Nangong Pushe below was completely panicked.

Wang Xianzhi finally made a move.

The corners of his mouth moved, a faint smile appeared on his face, and then he suddenly nodded at Gao Changsheng.

The next second, the towering sea water suddenly dissipated.

The white-haired figure also stood with his hands behind his back, flying towards the distance and disappeared from sight in just a moment.

"Uh……"

Nangong Pushe opened his mouth.

This nonsensical scene completely dumbfounded her.

She had no idea what Wang Xianzhi's intentions were, and had no idea what the two people in the air were talking about.

It was at this time that Gao Changsheng's figure returned to his original place.

"You, Wang Xianzhi..."

Nangong Pushe asked immediately.

"Nothing, just a meeting."

Gao Changsheng chuckled and then added.

"At the same time, it's also a battle."

After saying this, Gao Changsheng did not continue to explain.

He knew in his heart that it must be the scene of the last breakthrough that attracted Wang Xianzhi's attention.

Over the years, although Wang Xianzhi fought all over the Wudi City, most of the opponents he encountered were not as good as him, and he could only suppress himself to fight the enemies.

Although this experience was invincible, Wang Xianzhi must have felt extremely lonely.

So when he met someone like Gao Changsheng, who also had an invincible heart, he naturally became interested.

Of course, Wang Xianzhi’s challenge is definitely not for now. What he needs is an opponent who can make him fight with all his strength and without any scruples.

"Just keep going."
