In the Imperial Garden, Song Xuan and Yang Guang were drinking tea and chatting.
Without the blessing of the aura of the throne, Yang Guang was much more casual at this time, drinking tea, looking at the scenery around him, and even stretching.
"I used to indulge in drinking and sex, and didn't care about external affairs. I looked happy, but in fact I was never happy in my heart. The first thing I thought about when I opened my eyes every day was whether someone would come to take my head today.
Now that the throne has been abdicated, I feel more relaxed. At least I can sleep peacefully at night!
To be honest, I really didn't expect that you have already conquered three of the four great clans. As for the Song clan, what are you going to do with it?"
"The Song Clan is a little different from the other three!" Song Xuandao: "Because their head Song Que is a Grand Master-level existence!"
"Song Que is the great master?"
Yang Guang was stunned for a moment, then sighed and said: "It's a pity that these nobles have never really been loyal to the imperial court. Otherwise, if Song Que was willing to go out with the army and restrain Fu Cailin, Goguryeo would have been included in the territory of my Central Plains Dynasty!
"
Song Xuan took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "He refuses to be loyal to the imperial court, just because the imperial court is not strong enough, and the royal family lacks a top powerhouse who can intimidate the forces in the world!
You can't even play with the powerful families, let alone those martial arts sects who can control the situation behind the scenes!"
Yang Guang said helplessly: "If we talk about martial arts masters, the imperial court may be able to recruit a few, but there is really nothing we can do about the grand master. The imperial power is supreme in the eyes of ordinary people, but it is a joke in the eyes of the grand master.
To be honest, I still don’t understand why, as the Grand Master, you still care about this throne? Power should not be attractive to you anymore, right?"
"Power and I are indeed like floating clouds!" Song Xuan said with a smile: "If I said that I just want to calm down the troubled times as soon as possible and let the people live a stable life, would you believe it or not?"
Yang Guang was stunned, "At your current level, do you still care about these ordinary people?"
Song Xuandao: "I used to be just one of these living beings! I am still willing to help them with things they do casually!"
With that said, he stood up and said: "Okay, take your concubines and move to Prince Xian's Mansion. From today on, you are no longer the emperor, but a Prince Xian of my Wu Dynasty.
If you stay on your own terms, I can still ensure that you will be a wealthy and idle person for the rest of your life!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he flew up, and the black iron heavy sword whizzed out and landed at his feet.
Yang Guang looked at the figure riding the wind with his sword, his eyes full of envy.
Compared with such a powerful man who can cultivate immortality and live freely in the world, his previous so-called emperor status does seem too insignificant.
Lingnan Song Family.
Song Que, who looked like a heavenly sword exuding strong sword intent, was sitting cross-legged in the Song family's knife-sharpening hall, quietly listening to the report from the Song family's second-in-command, Song Zhi.
"I really didn't expect that with Yang Guang's temperament, he would abdicate the throne." Song Zhi laughed and said: "It is said that the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty were deceived at that time, and Yang Guang's plan was completely disrupted."
"This can be regarded as Yang Guang's last counterattack against me and other powerful families!" Song Que said calmly.
"Brother, since Song Xuan has ascended to the throne, he shouldn't come to my Song family to fight you again, right?"
Song Que shook his head, stood up, and the sword intent around his body began to surge violently, and said in a deep voice: "No, he is already here!"
Song Zhi was horrified, and suddenly turned his head to look outside the knife-sharpening hall, but saw a green figure in the distant sky wielding a sword. As the figure appeared, there was the sound of wind and thunder in the sky and the earth.
, as if the whole world was cheering and cheering for his arrival.
"It used to be said that this person was a member of the Taoist sect. I was still a little skeptical, but now it seems that he is indeed a member of the Taoist sect!"
Song Zhi swallowed and said: "This is not a method that a martial arts master should have at all. This is definitely a magical power possessed by the legendary Taoist Qi Refiner!"
Song Que nodded and said: "The defeat of Jing Nian Temple is not unjust!"
The next moment, Song Que's body suddenly jumped up, and the sword intent around his body was extremely condensed, looming like a thunder suddenly appearing out of thin air.
In the sky, Song Xuan naturally saw Song Que, the heavenly sword soaring into the sky. In his field of vision, the opponent seemed to have turned into a sword. With one sword, he broke through the barrier between heaven and earth and slashed in.
The world's magic sword!
In an instant, the magic sword flashed, revealing Song Que's figure in the void, and then he cupped his fist and saluted Song Xuan who was stepping on the heavy sword.
"Should I call you Demon Emperor, or should I call you Martial Emperor?"
Song Xuan smiled and said: "You can call me Your Majesty!"
The two looked at each other for a while, and after a long while, Song Xuandao said: "There is no way, but there is a method. There is a method, but there is no way. Apart from the sword, there is nothing else! The world says that Ning Daoqi is the greatest master in the world, but for me
It seems that in a life-and-death fight, you have a better chance of surviving than Ning Daoqi!"
In Song Xuan's opinion, Song Que's state of Heavenly Sword was that of entering Taoism through martial arts.
The sword is him, he is the sword, extremely pure, and the path Song Xuan took is exactly the opposite extreme.
What this person pursues is the ultimate in swordsmanship, and he is following the ultimate path.
A single strike of the knife was the ultimate attack method that would separate life and death. Although Song Xuan had never seen Ning Daoqi, he had a general guess in his mind.
In terms of overall strength, Song Que may not be stronger than Ning Daoqi, but in a simple life-and-death fight, Song Que, who is extremely loyal to the sword, should have stronger attack power!
Song Que looked calm and said calmly: "You can see through my roots, but in my eyes, you are like a cloud, chaotic and shapeless, without any clues.
In this regard, I lost one point.”
"Oh? I thought that a master like you, who is very dedicated to his own way, would never admit defeat!"
Song Que said indifferently: "What I said is just the truth. But there are many factors that determine victory or defeat. No one dares to say that we will definitely win before we have played before!"
Having said this, he slowly pulled out the knife behind him: "Can I ask you a question?"
"explain!"
"Are you of Han descent?"
"yes!"
Hearing this, Song Que's face softened a lot, and there was even a hint of a smile on his lips, "I don't understand a bit, why do you, a Taoist cultivator, sit on the throne for?"
"No reason, I just want this troubled world to end as soon as possible!"
"That's all?"
"Isn't this enough?"
Song Que was silent for a moment, then nodded, "That's enough."
As he spoke, the aura around him began to rise rapidly, and the sword intent soared into the sky like a giant pillar, and the stirring winds and clouds in the world began to collapse.
"If you defeat me, I will recognize you as the lord of the world and am willing to serve under you!"
