Yang Shenting, the emperor of the Xuanyuan Dynasty, took the initiative to invite Dongfang Su, the emperor of the Tianwu Dynasty!
As soon as this news came out, the seven Southern Wilderness countries were shocked.
Because it has been many years since an emperor took the initiative to invite another emperor to fight.
This is a contest between emperors.
It is not only about the victory or defeat of the two emperors, but also about the dignity of the two dynasties.
One hair move affects the whole body.
Once such a battle is lost.
The blow to our own dynasty was really too great.
But Yang Shenting did this.
And it was still done with great fanfare.
This is enough to show that Yang Shenting came prepared and with very strong confidence.
For a time, there was a lot of discussion in Nanhuang.
"Didn't you say that the Xuanyuan Dynasty was going to form an alliance with the Tianwu Dynasty? Why did it suddenly happen like this?"
"Who knows, but I still don't know if Dongfang Su will accept the challenge."
"Yang Shenting is really decisive. He took the initiative to invite a fight. If Dongfang Su refuses to fight, he will inevitably be called cowardly."
"But if you accept the challenge, it will be a huge loss if you lose."
"Hey, I guess there will be a good show anyway."
...
When the news reached the Tianwu Dynasty, it also caused a great stir.
capital.
Royal Palace Hall.
Dongfang listened carefully to the reports from everyone below, his expression was as usual, nothing unusual.
"Your Majesty, we don't need to pay attention to Xuanyuan Dynasty's invitation to fight. We can even ask Xuanyuan Dynasty whether they want to tear up the alliance agreement?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, this battle is completely meaningless. If we accept the challenge, it will not do any good to either dynasty."
"Your Majesty, please give me a clear warning."
"Your Majesty clearly shows you!"
...
All the ministers spoke out one after another.
They all felt that Xuanyuan Dynasty's invitation to fight was very rude, and there was no need for Tianwu Dynasty to respond.
Dongfang Su nodded slightly, but did not speak.
"Your Majesty, the envoy from the Xuanyuan Dynasty has arrived!"
Outside the palace, a guard said loudly.
"Come in."
"yes!"
Soon, a messenger dressed in brocade came in.
All the ministers in the main hall looked at this man angrily.
The envoy in brocade clothes showed no fear and walked calmly to the center of the hall.
"Cui Shangyuan, the envoy of Xuanyuan Dynasty, pays homage to His Majesty Emperor Wu."
Cui Shangyuan bowed to Dongfang Su.
"Expensive envoys are exempt from courtesy."
Dongfang spoke calmly.
Cui Shangyuan straightened up and presented a letter of challenge with both hands.
"Your Majesty the Emperor Wu, this is a letter of war written by my Majesty himself. I would like to ask His Majesty the Emperor Wu to read it."
Dongfang Su heard this and narrowed his eyes slightly.
The officials present were extremely angry.
"What a courage!"
"How dare you come to our Tianwu Dynasty to declare a challenge?"
"Your Xuanyuan Dynasty is too arrogant!"
...
The officials reprimanded him.
But Cui Shangyuan remained calm and turned a deaf ear.
Dongfang Su looked at this man's composure and secretly admired him.
If a person who can be sent as an envoy to send a letter of war can't even hold up to this scene, he is not worthy of being an envoy.
Dongfang Su opened the letter of war, and there was no unnecessary words in it.
There is only one big and powerful character.
war!!!
There is only one word "war" written on the letter of war.
An awe-inspiring fighting spirit suddenly came from the letter of challenge.
It was as if Yang Shenting had arrived and wanted to fight Dongfang Su with all his strength.
Dongfang Su couldn't help but feel moved.
Then he became excited.
He stood up suddenly.
Holding the letter of challenge in hand.
"Go back and tell Yang Shenting this letter of challenge..."
"I took it!!!"
Wow!
The officials were in an uproar.
Unexpectedly, Dongfang Su would eventually accept the challenge.
"Your Majesty, you absolutely must not do this."
"If we lose this battle, where will our Tianwu Dynasty's face be?"
"Your Majesty, please think twice."
...
It's a pity that Dongfang Su has made up his mind at this time.
I couldn't listen to any advice at all.
Cui Shangyuan smiled.
"Then please ask His Majesty the Emperor Wu to set a date and place for the battle."
Dongfang thought carefully.
"In seven days."
"As for the place to fight, it should be at the Tiantian Peak at the junction of our two countries."
"yes!"
Cui Shangyuan handed over his hand and immediately left.
Dongfang Su also immediately announced his withdrawal from the court.
The ministers shook their heads, sighed, and left one after another.
Dongfang Su returned to the back hall.
"Your Majesty, do you really want to accept the challenge?"
Gu Yue appeared and looked at Dongfang Su with some confusion.
Dongfang Su glanced at Gu Yue.
"You have been with me for so many years, don't you still understand me?"
Gu Yue was startled and then fell silent.
He knows Dongfang Su very well.
Dongfang Su was not just the emperor of the Tianwu Dynasty.
He is also a strong martial artist.
In Dongfang Su's mind, his pursuit of martial arts was even higher than the position of emperor of the Tianwu Dynasty.
To put it bluntly, Dongfang Su is actually a pure warrior.
Facing the challenge, Dongfang Suruo refused to accept the challenge.
Then he is no longer a martial emperor.
"Your Majesty, you will definitely win!"
Gu Yuexin said secretly.
...
As soon as the news of Dongfang Su's acceptance of the battle came out, the Southern Wasteland became even more lively.
Many warriors came from all over the country and rushed to the Tianwu Dynasty.
They all wanted to see with their own eyes who would have the last laugh in this confrontation between the two emperors.
And at this time.
Ye Qingyun, the handsome boy from Fuyun Mountain, has no idea what is happening outside.
He has been really bored these days.
So I thought about going out for a walk.
Ye Qingyun got a map of the Tianwu Dynasty.
I studied it for most of the day.
final decision.
He wanted to visit a place called Split Sky Peak.
Split Heaven Peak is located at the junction of Tianwu Dynasty and Xuanyuan Dynasty, half of it is in Tianwu Dynasty and half is in Xuanyuan Dynasty.
This place is full of peaks and mountains, and the scenery is magnificent and truly one of a kind.
Ye Qingyun planned to take a walk here.
However, he also knew that he was a mortal and if he had to go to such a far place, his life would be in danger if something happened along the way.
So Ye Qingyun approached Huikong.
Let Huikong accompany him to Split Heaven Peak.
After Huikong found out, he agreed immediately and was very happy.
"It is a great honor for this humble monk to accompany the Holy Son on his travels!"
Huikong immediately decided to take all the monks under the mountain to travel with Ye Qingyun.
Ye Qingyun quickly stopped him.
He didn't want to bring a large group of people, especially a large group of monks.
This is too conspicuous.
I just want to go out and walk around quietly and don't want to cause too much trouble.
In the end, Huikong only brought people from Shaolin Temple to follow Ye Qingyun.
There are a lot of people in just one Shaolin Temple.
In addition to Huikong, there are also Xu Hai, Xu Zhu and his son.
Plus the old blind man and brother Chu Hanyang.
There is also Song Rouer.
A total of people.
They all want to travel with Ye Qingyun.
Ye Qingyun stood in front of the gate of Shaolin Temple, looking at the man in front of him, feeling helpless.
What kind of combination is this?
The Seven Strangers of Jiangnan?
"Holy Son, it's time for us to set off."
Huikong put his hands together and said.
"Let's set out now. If we get to Split Heaven Peak, we can arrive there in about seven days."
