Ch128 - Kingly Way

He saw that between heaven and earth, the spiritual power was surging, and the wind and cloud changed color.

The Great Wizard said, “You don’t even know how the emperor will answer, why oppose me and take the insult to yourself.”

Senior Cang said, “This matter has nothing to do with the Dynasty.”

“Oh?” The Great Wizard smiled softly. “You four sects could actually determine whether to keep your own secret cultivation collections, how did I not know?”

Lin Shu didn’t know what they were talking about for a moment.

Nor could he understand in two moments.

The four peerless manuals are the skills and techniques of the four sects. Can they just be given away or be taken by other people?

He thought for a while, and felt suspicious about this matter.

The Great Wizard had asked for the four secret manuals. However, he didn’t directly put pressure on the four sects. Instead, he directly called out to the emperor of the Southern Xia Dynasty, which was inherently a bit of a problem.

He wanted to ask Xiao Shao, but before he could ask, Xiao Shao said, “Go to the Dreamscape.”

Yes, go to the Dreamscape.

It was the fastest way to send a message.

The Shangling Dreamscape connects all the people in the Academy, which was equivalent to connecting all the sects of the Immortal Dao. Once Mr. Meng knows about this, it is equivalent to the Grand Master also knowing it. Once the Grand Master knows, the Dynasty will naturally know.

Xiao Shao said, “You go and tell Mr. Meng what you saw in Northern Xia and tell him about the current situation.”

Lin Shu nodded, took out the jade talisman, and sank his consciousness into it.

This was the fastest method. First of all, Mr. Meng cannot be regarded as a living person strictly speaking. His spiritual thoughts could be divided into countless incarnations, dealing with different things at the same time, and they could talk about things separately, which could save a lot of time. Secondly, Xiao Shao’s grasp of the political situation of North and South Xia obviously surpassed him. Explaining the status quo of Northern Xia to the Great Wizard would be much better than him.

The next moment, he came to the Dreamscape.

Mr. Meng was still at the mountain top, at the small pavilion, and wearing the blue dress, standing in the small pavilion with his back facing him.

Mr. Meng turned around. “Taoist friend, you are here.”

He is still so young and gentle, with a gentle smile.

After a while, he seemed to notice that Lin Shu’s expression was different, and asked, “Taoist friend, but something happened?”

“Yes.” Lin Shu said.

Then, he told about the Great Wizard coming to Jubei Pass and putting a black barrier, trapping the entire city, threatened the Jubei Pass to send a letter to the emperor asking for the four secret manuals—— and then he slaughtered thousands of people with just a thought and confronted the old Cang Wuji. The series of events that he witnessed was completely told to Mr. Meng.

When he was talking, Mr. Meng did not interrupt, but frowned slightly and listened quietly.

Until he finished speaking, Mr. Meng looked at the distant sea of clouds and said, “I’ve been afraid of this day coming for a long time.”

His eyes were half-closed, and his figure seemed lonely and desolate.

Lin Shu couldn’t understand Mr. Meng’s expression.

“It was just unexpected that it would come true in just 15 years.” Mr. Meng closed his sleeves and opened his eyes again. He had a clear eye and was calm like water. “Only the little Phoenix told me about the recent situation of Northern Xia twenty years ago, the Great Wizard got the secret manual “Floating Zen Art Collection” in an ancient tomb of a great demon. He killed the former Great Wizard and controlled the Northern Xia Dynasty. Five years later, he marched South and swallowed me. Thousands of miles of rivers and mountains ended in Changyang.”

Mr. Meng paused and said, “At that time, his “Floating Zen Art Collection” was only a small success, and he made two thousand miles of blood flow into rivers. This technique is horrible and strange, and the scene of great success is unimaginable.”

Lin Shu asked, “Then he… is in the realm of Mahayana now?”

Mr. Meng said, “I don’t know yet, but according to your description, he can pick up thousands of people at his fingertips. Even if he has not succeeded, he has made great progress.”

After speaking, Mr. Meng turned his head to look at him, and solemnly said, “Taoist friend.”

Lin Shu looked at Mr. Meng.

He heard Mr. Meng said, “The four secret manuals should never be given out. At this time, I’m already telling Shangling Academy. I would have to trouble Taoist friend to find out whether it’s possible to break the black evil barrier.”

Lin Shu said, “Okay.”

——Is Southern Xia going to be tough?

“If it can be broken, we will definitely send reinforcements in two days.” Mr. Meng said.

Lin Shu and Mr. Meng looked at each other, and suddenly found that the always gentle and clear eyes of Mr. Meng were now entangled with extremely complex emotions.

“If not…” Mr. Meng closed his eyes and said, “No matter how tragic you and Little Phoenix see, remember to protect yourself and don’t do anything.”

Lin Shu was stunned.

He asked, “Why?”

“The Great Wizard has excellent cultivation skills. However, he is not very old. During the Battle of Changyang, he was just less than 30 yrs old.” Mr. Meng said, “Our court is still at a disadvantage in the face of the Northern Xia Dynasty. The reason lies not in the number of elite troops and the rise and fall of national strength, but there in the absence of such an amazing figure.”

Lin Shu thought about the cultivators who had crossed the tribulations and ascended.

There were many cultivators in the Tribulation in the South Xia Dynasty, and those who had ascended were not very few.

But without exception, they were all old people who were on the brink of their deaths, like the Elder leader of the Dream Hall. Even the majority of them follow the “He Dao”, and the lethality of “He Dao” is far less than that of “Po Dao”.

On the battlefield where immortal cultivators and wizards participated, it was often the top few people, or even the top two people, that determined success or failure.

Mr. Meng said, “There may not be such a person in a century; however, you and Ling Fengxiao are both just like this.”

Lin Shu thought that he knew what Mr. Meng meant.

He only saw Mr. Meng slowly saying, “Although this matter is not what I wish for, it will even make me regret it for a lifetime. However, the blood of Jubei Pass can flow, and you two must not make mistakes. Taoist friend, do you understand?”

Lin Shu didn’t know how to answer.

He didn’t answer, but asked, “Has the great demon who left “Floating Zen Art Collection” ascended?”

Demon Lord Qing Ming wanted to find the secret manuals, and the Great Wizard also wanted to find the secret manuals. Had the Great Wizard been ordered by the immortals of the fairyland?

But Mr. Meng replied, “No. Most of the demonic cultivators died of Qi deviation, and rarely succeeded. The great demon was killed facing the lightning tribulations. Taoist friend, why do you ask?”

“Somewhat curious.” Lin Shu said, “Why does the Great Wizard want the secret manuals?”

Mr. Meng only said, “The four manuals are the foundation of immortality.”

Lin Shu nodded.

Before leaving the Dreamscape, Mr. Meng once again exhorted, “Taoist friend, there is a method of incarnation outside the body in the “Floating Zen Art Collection”. The Great Wizard may not come with his real body. Even if he conquers the northern city and the immortal masters gather, he has the power of the first battle. You two must remember to protect yourself.”

Lin Shu came out of the Dreamscape and met Xiao Shao’s eyes.

They looked at the city wall again.

At the top of the city, flying sand and rocks, the wind and clouds changed color, just before he went to the Dreamscape, Senior Cang and the Great Wizard had already started fighting.

Like Cang Min, Senior Cang was good at defending with a broadsword.

And the Great Wizard——

Lin Shu couldn’t see his way or even his style.

There was no other reason. The wizard’s control of spiritual power is too terrible. It seems that as long as he simply activates the spiritual power, he can play with the world in his palm.

——This scene was even familiar. When Xiao Shao defeated Cang Min so easily in the martial arts arena.

Senior Cang won’t last long.

Lin Shu was looking there.

Mr. Meng had said, “Remember to protect yourself.”

It was said that as long as the green hills last, there would always be firewood to burn.

It was also said that the lush mountains will not grow old and the green waters will flow forever.

He and Xiao Shao really did have the power to protect themselves. If there was really no way to escape, they could also protect themselves by entering the  Qingming cave.

But if so … If so!

The Peach Blossom Land massacre will reappear in Jubei City.

But Mr. Meng would never tell him to be alone. What did Xiao Shao think?

Will he choose to save himself for the future?

The Great Wizard was indeed an amazing figure, but after ten years, or even five years later, Xiao Shao will just be a fish in a pond.

If you keep a low profile, you may not be able to confront the Great Wizard one day.

Lin Shu suddenly thought of the Kingly Way of “killing one person, saving ten people, killing ten thousand, saving a hundred thousand people”.

He looked at Xiao Shao.

Then he saw Xiao Shao’s five fingers slowly clenched the sword in his hand.

Xiao Shao’s sword is called “Guiltless”.

All of a sudden, Lin Shu was a little distracted and thought, so Xiao Shao has always been a complicated man.

The path that the world expected this person to take, it was not the sword in his hand.
