Chapter 1507: Refining the Heart in the Mortal World (51)
Qing'an County.
A middle-aged man led the horse and followed the bustling crowd into the county town.
He looks to be in his late thirties or early forties. Although he is dressed in ordinary clothes, he has sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, a resolute expression, and an unfathomable demeanor.
However, the pedestrians walking around this middle-aged man seemed not to be aware of his presence at all. They were just avoiding him out of instinct, and no one would block him.
When night fell, the middle-aged man checked into an inn.
Early the next morning, when it was just dawn, he left the inn and headed south out of the city.
But this middle-aged man had just walked three miles away on horseback when a graceful figure appeared on the road ahead.
It just blocked his way.
The middle-aged man's gaze was focused, with an extremely complicated look in his eyes.
After hesitating for a moment, he turned over and dismounted, and then faced the opponent.
"Miss Zhenzhen, long time no see."
The person blocking the road was none other than Wang Zhenzhen.
She smiled and said: "Huo Wuji, if you don't stay well in Changyi, why are you here?"
Speaking of which, the two actually only met once, and it was decades ago.
Huo Wuji stared at Wang Zhenzhen, with a trace of nostalgia in his eyes: "I came to see Master Wang and wanted to persuade him to leave Yunmeng Daze."
Wang Zhenzhen said calmly: "I heard that you were ordered by Li Yuanhao to lead an army to conquer Yunmeng Daze. Now you come here alone, are you not afraid of being slapped to death by my father?"
Huo Wuji smiled bitterly and said: "Master Wang has given me the gift of preaching. If I have a choice, I don't want to be an enemy of Master Wang."
In fact, what he wanted to see more than Wang Chen was the woman in front of him.
For decades, Huo Wuji never forgot Wang Zhenzhen.
Even if he married a wife and had children over the years, and his martial arts entered the realm of a grand master, he could not erase this beautiful image deep in his memory!
But Huo Wuji knew very well that it was impossible for him and Wang Zhenzhen.
Wang Zhenzhen frowned: "You are already a grand master, why do you still want to be the dog of this guy Li Yuanhao?"
She only met Huo Wuji once, but she had a three-way relationship with Emperor Hongwu Li Yuanhao.
This question pierced Huo Wuji's soul, causing the corners of his eyes to twitch involuntarily, and he replied: "I cannot achieve what I have today without His Majesty's kindness, so..."
However, Wang Zhenzhen didn't care at all about his difficulties and sneered: "Huo Wuji, my father, I, and my family will never leave Yunmeng Daze, so you'd better give up."
After a pause, she continued: "Since you are considered half of my father's disciples, as long as you never come to Yunmeng Daze again, then I will let you go."
"you?"
Although Huo Wuji was in a low mood, he couldn't help but laugh when he heard Wang Zhenzhen's shameless words: "Miss Zhenzhen, you..."
The next moment, his expression suddenly became extremely solemn: "You are also a grand master!?"
At this moment, Huo Wuji was in a very bad mood.
Because he suddenly realized that he had completely underestimated Wang Zhenzhen.
Or to be more precise, he didn't see Wang Zhenzhen's strength and cultivation from the beginning.
And you can’t even see it now!
You must know that Huo Wuji has entered the realm of the supreme master, and his eyesight is enough to match his own cultivation. As a result, he was unable to see through the opponent's details.
what does that mean?
Wang Zhenzhen did not answer, but looked at Huo Wuji coldly.
Her cold and scornful eyes were like a slap on Huo Wuji's face, making the latter feel pain and intense shame that he had not seen for a long time, and cracks suddenly appeared in his originally strong will.
After all, Huo Wuji was not an ordinary person. He took a deep breath and suppressed the shame and anger in his heart.
The Grand Master said in a deep voice: "Even if you are also a Grand Master, it is useless to add Master Wang, because Wei has already mastered the means to cultivate and restrain Grand Masters!"
"I can tell you that besides me, there are three other great masters in Wei Dynasty!"
"In this expedition to Yunmeng Daze, in addition to 300,000 elite soldiers, all the great masters including myself will participate in the battle."
"Miss Zhenzhen, that's all I have to say, you can take care of yourself."
Clang!
As soon as Huo Wuji finished speaking, he heard the sound of a sword suddenly ringing in his ears.
A warning sign suddenly arose in his heart, and he felt a chill between his brows, a chill instantly entering his brain, and his whole body felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
Huo Wuji's pupils suddenly shrank and he took a step back involuntarily.
The shock in my heart cannot be described in words!
He subconsciously raised his hand and touched the area between his eyebrows, only to find that there was a sword mark on it.
The fingertips are already stained with blood!
I saw Wang Zhenzhen on the opposite side holding a long sword and said disdainfully: "Grand Master? How dare a parallel import like you be called a Grand Master? My father also said that you were a child of luck who was born in response to a calamity, but that's nothing more than that."
Huo Wuji's face instantly turned red.
Ever since he achieved great success in martial arts, he has never encountered such naked humiliation and contempt!
However, what made Huo Wuji feel extremely sad was that he was unable to refute, let alone fight back.
Because although Wang Zhenzhen's sword was a sneak attack, it was actually at the level of crushing, allowing him to clearly realize the gap between himself and his opponent.
Wang Zhenzhen is so powerful, then what level is Wang Chen in?
Huo Wuji thought that after he broke through to the realm of Grand Master, there were not many beings in the world who could rival him.
In the end, Wang Zhenzhen told him that he was just a parallel importer!
Huo Wuji had never heard of the word "parallel imports" before, but he could completely understand its meaning.
"You go."
Wang Zhenzhen said calmly: "Don't come again. I will wait for the 300,000 elite soldiers and grand masters of the Wei Dynasty in Qing'an. If you are still there by then, I will not show mercy anymore!"
Huo Wuji left.
He walked away so distraught that he even abandoned his mount.
So far, neither the Wei court nor Huo Wuji's relatives and relatives have seen this great master again.
There is not even any news about him.
Huo Wuji's whereabouts have become an eternal mystery.
A month later, the three major armies of the Wei Dynasty, Feihu, Qingyi, and Xiongwei, with a total of 300,000 troops, gathered in Qing'an County under the command of three great masters, preparing to launch an expedition against Yunmeng Daze.
As a result, on the second day when the three armies gathered, three heads were hung on the flagpole in front of the camp.
These three heads are exactly the heads of the three great masters!
The morale of the 300,000-strong army collapsed in an instant. Although it did not collapse due to the restraints of many generals, it was obviously unrealistic to conquer Yunmeng Daze.
Ten days later, the three armies withdrew from Qing'an County in despair.
And this time's failure prevented the Wei Dynasty from raising troops to conquer Yunmeng Daze, and Tianyun City was able to enjoy peace for hundreds of years!
