Unexpectedly, Ye Fan was able to kill Zhao Huangchao, who was under the control of Wuju and wielding the Golden Lotus of Fortune, so easily.
This shock truly surprised Wang Xianzhi.
Especially when she was focused on cultivation, Wang Xianzhi almost lost her mind and went mad.
"Well done, Ye Fan... Your strength is terrifying!"
However, the more this happened, the more excited Wang Xianzhi became.
Only in this way can there be any meaning in catching up!
Wang Xianzhi's eyes burned with rage, and his own strength also rose accordingly. It was because of this stimulus that he made a breakthrough!
Meanwhile, the Northern Han were also extremely shocked by the death of Zhao Huangchao.
In Xu Xiao's study, Xu Xiao looked at Li Yishan in disbelief: "Zhao Huangchao... he's actually dead? That old guy... he just died like that?"
Li Yishan sighed: "Your Highness, it's true. He's not just dead. Zhao Huangchao, under the influence of Wuju, used the Dragon Tiger Mountain's treasure, the Golden Lotus of Fortune, to try and kill Ye Fan."
"Your Highness should know what the Zhao Dynasty, holding the Golden Lotus of Fortune under the rule of Wuju, represents."
Xu Xiao took a deep breath: "My God, is this... is this the Martial Saint of the Mortal Realm?"
"He's truly monstrous, no... an immortal! Only immortals outside the Heavenly Gate could achieve such a feat, right?"
Li Yishan shook his head helplessly: "Your Highness, I'm afraid even if a celestial being descended to earth, he wouldn't be able to kill Zhao Huangchao, who is under the rule of Wuju and wields the Golden Lotus of Fortune, so easily."
"Hiss!" Hearing Li Yishan say this, even Xu Xiao, a butcher who had fought countless battles and killed countless enemies, gasped in surprise.
"Alas, Ye Fan probably killed that old bastard Zhao Huangchao casually, but the impact of Zhao Huangchao's death is huge."
Hearing Xu Xiao say this, Li Yishan nodded in agreement and said, "What Your Highness says is true, but Your Highness has not seen the whole picture."
"What do you mean?" Xu Xiao frowned and leaned closer to Li Yishan: "Hey Lao Li, can't you just be more direct with your words? You're always beating around the bush. Be careful, or I might just take you down one day."
Li Yishan shook his head helplessly. He knew that Xu Xiao would never fight him, but he still carefully explained to Xu Xiao, "Your Highness, don't forget that besides the Zhao Dynasty, there is an old guy hiding in the Li Yang royal family."
Xu Xiao suddenly realized, frowned and patted his head: "Hiss! How could I forget about that guy? That old fellow is much more troublesome than Zhao Huangchao. He's always talking about the rise and fall of national fortunes, and he's been eyeing our Northern Han for more than just a day or two!"
“Yes, Your Highness,” Li Yishan sighed softly, “Now that the Zhao Dynasty is dead, it is indeed one less major threat to our Northern Han.”
"But precisely because of this, the Li Yang royal family cannot sit idly by and wait for the Li Yang Dynasty to fall into chaos."
"Given that person's abilities, he will inevitably find a special way to shift the blame."
"And my Northern Cold is the perfect target for them to divert their troubles eastward."
Junyang: 5
Xu Xiao sighed, "But what can we do? The reputation of Bei Han is too great. If the Li Yang royal family really throws us out, the Tang Dynasty may not dare to say anything, but those bastards from Bei Mang will definitely bar their fangs and charge over."
"After all, my Northern Han is the biggest obstacle to the Northern Mang's invasion of Liyang."
“That’s right.” Li Yishan nodded. “Yes, Your Highness. We in Beihan must make preparations as soon as possible.”
"That person in the Li Yang royal family has been seeking new fortune for the Li Yang royal family for many years. According to the secret agents, he has probably made some discoveries."
"But now that the Zhao dynasty is dead, the little remaining fortune of Liyang will probably dissipate quickly."
"The only plan now is to use the currently prosperous Northern Cold as a shield to buy time."
Xu Xiao scratched his head: "What you said is true, but what can we do? When a wall falls, everyone pushes it down. My Bei Han is too powerful. If we fall into danger, I'm afraid that even if the forces from other places don't come to help, they will just be happy to watch the show from the sidelines."
"Who would lend a helping hand?"
Hearing Xu Xiao's doubts, Li Yishan chuckled and said, "Why is no one here? Have you forgotten about the one from Wangjian Mountain?"
"Ye Fan? Li Yishan's reminder made Xu Xiao suddenly realize, 'Oh right! How could I have forgotten about Ye Fan!'"
Li Yishan continued, "That's right, Your Highness. There is only one way to ensure that Bei Han is invincible now."
"Then we should arrange a marriage between the Second Princess and Ye Fan. As long as this Martial Saint is on our side in Bei Han, no matter how open or covert attacks there are from other places, they will not be able to affect Bei Han in the slightest!"
"At this time, only this Martial Saint of the Mortal Realm can save Bei Han!"
Xu Xiao gritted his teeth: "That's true, but... Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty has already sent Qi Tianchen and Yuan Tiangang to Wangjian Mountain."
"Do you think Li Shimin might also be harboring such wishful thinking?"
Li Yishan pondered for a moment before sighing, "I'm afraid so. Qi Tianchen and Yuan Tiangang are both skilled in divination and calculation."
"I'm afraid the two of them have already discovered that Ye Fan possesses extraordinary fortune. In addition, given the recent events following Minister Nangong's visit to Wangjian Mountain, it's natural that Li Shimin would want to win Ye Fan over."
Xu Xiao sighed, "We were a step too late! We should have thought of this sooner! Of all the things in the world, how could we have overlooked such an important link?"
"Your Highness, please don't be anxious." Seeing Xu Xiao's anxious appearance, Li Yishan waved his hand and said, "Your Highness, please don't forget that Wangjian Mountain is not so easy to go to."
"Oh right!" Xu Xiao suddenly realized, "There's an illusion array set up at the foot of Wangjian Mountain. Even if that illusion array can't stop Qi Tianchen and Yuan Tiangang, it will probably take them two or three days!"
"In that case, there's no time to lose! I'll set off personally right now and make sure I see Ye Fan before Qi Tianchen and Yuan Tiangang do!"
"Someone come here! Quickly prepare the fastest horse for me!"
With a loud shout, Xu Xiao hurriedly left the study to prepare.
Watching Xu Xiao's retreating figure, Li Yishan shook his head helplessly.
He didn't believe Xu Xiao could break the formation set up by Ye Fan before Qi Tianchen and Yuan Tiangang.
With Li Yishan's insight, he had already seen that the formations set up by Ye Fan were so powerful that even if Xu Xiao and Qi Tianchen and Yuan Tiangang joined forces, they would have no chance of breaking them.
Li Yishan had calculated that only Ye Fan would be lenient enough to allow him to enter Wangjian Mountain.
He just hoped that Xu Xiao could catch up with Qi Tianchen and Yuan Tiangang before Ye Fan raised his hand.
While the Northern Cold was in turmoil, the residence of the Second City Lord of Snow Moon City remained rather deserted.
The situation at the Second City Lord's Mansion in Snowmoon City is actually not something that has been happening in just one or two days.
Almost immediately after Minister Nangong went up Wangjian Mountain, the atmosphere in the entire Second City Lord's mansion became strange.
These days, the maids of the Second City Lord's mansion rarely dare to approach Li Hanyi's main house.
The reason is simple: after Minister Nangong entered Wangjian Mountain, the Snow Moon Sword Immortal's temper became unpredictable.
Many of the maids had been scolded and punished by Li Hanyi recently, so these maids tried to stay away from Li Hanyi's main house as much as possible.
Click!
The maids had only approached the main house a short distance when they heard the sound of porcelain shattering on the ground.
They looked at each other helplessly, and the maids dared not linger any longer, so they quickly and quietly slipped away.
Inside the main house
Li Hanyi overturned several precious porcelain pieces placed in the room and knocked them to the ground one by one.
Even so, it still couldn't stop her from feeling depressed and sad.
What frustrated her was not Ye Fan, who had easily killed the Zhao Dynasty.
Li Hanyi knew that Ye Fan was very strong, but she did not expect that Ye Fan was strong enough to easily kill Zhao Huangchao, who was below the level of Wuju and wielded the Golden Lotus of Luck.
Li Hanyi had roughly figured out what Zhao Huangchao's death meant.
The turmoil in Liyang is inevitable. The only way for the Liyang royal family to buy some time is to sacrifice Beihan.
Otherwise, given the numerous internal and external troubles plaguing the Liyang Dynasty, even the young eunuch hidden behind the Liyang royal family would not be able to turn the tide and save Liyang in its current state.
However, is Bei Han a fish to be slaughtered at will?
Li Hanyi's slender hands were clenched until they were red. She understood that with Xu Xiao's shrewdness, he couldn't possibly fail to see that the key to the world now lay with Ye Fan alone.
The best way for Bei Han to win over Ye Fan is through marriage.
Since that's the case, the solution is obvious: marry Xu Weixiong to Ye Fan.
Thinking of this, Li Hanyi couldn't stop feeling heartache.
She didn't understand why she was like this. She had clearly said long ago that she had never loved Ye Fan, and who Ye Fan was with had nothing to do with her.
She thought she had never loved Ye Fan.
But why is she so heartbroken now that she knows Xu Weixiong is going to marry Ye Fan?
It was this confusion that made her upset, causing her to smash her own bedroom in a mess.
Chapter 96 Nineteen Stops Useless! Minister Nangong and Ye Fan's Killer Move, Dragon-Slaying Tiger!
Suddenly, lightning flashed and thunder roared over Longhu Mountain, accompanied by fierce winds. The once clear weather turned into a dark, inky expanse of clouds.
A thunderbolt streaked across the sky, turning the horizon a blood-red hue.
Immediately afterwards, endless lightning descended from the sky, striking the earth with deafening force.
"This……"
Everyone who witnessed this scene was stunned.
They didn't understand what was happening, only that Longhu Mountain was terrifying at that moment, like the end of the world, a feeling that sent chills down their spines.
The disciples of Longhu Mountain were so frightened that they knelt on the ground, trembling uncontrollably. They couldn't even lift their heads.
Inside the wooden hut atop the mountain, an old Taoist priest, with an air of otherworldly wisdom, sat with his eyes closed, holding a whisk. The next moment, the whisk fell to the ground, his head drooped, and he showed no signs of life. Not a sound was heard!
This person is none other than Zhao Huangchao, who entered the dream world to kill Ye Fan, the Martial Saint!
He is dead at this very moment!
