He knew that the Marquis of Zhenxi commanded hundreds of thousands of troops, and if he were to add the aid of the Medicine Man Technique, he would have the power to rebel, and the consequences would be unimaginable!
The Emperor of Beili sat on the dragon throne, his brows furrowed, his eyes deep and complex.
His fingers tapped lightly on the armrest as he fell into deep thought.
Time passed second by second, as if all 550 worlds had stood still.
Finally, the Northern Emperor came to his senses. He raised his head, his gaze sharp as a hawk's, and said to the chief eunuch standing to the side:
"Send someone to investigate this matter immediately. If the Marquis of Zhenxi's mansion has indeed mastered the art of drugging people, then I have no choice but to strike first and destroy the Marquis of Zhenxi's mansion!"
His voice was cold and resolute, carrying an unwavering determination.
The head eunuch was slightly startled, and quickly bowed in response:
"Yes, Your Majesty. This servant knows what to do."
His voice was deep and respectful, and a resolute glint flashed in his eyes.
Emperor Bei Li nodded and continued:
"There's one more thing. Immediately send someone to capture Baili Dongjun, who uses the Western Chu Sword Song."
The chief eunuch bowed again and replied:
"Yes, Your Majesty. This servant will handle this matter as soon as possible."
After speaking, the chief eunuch slowly withdrew from the Golden Palace, leaving Emperor Beili alone on the dragon throne, pondering his next move.
Just as the Grand Eunuch was arranging for experts to capture Baili Dongjun, Li Chengtian's carriage happened to be resting by a lake.
Li Chengtian slowly stepped out of the carriage. Wen Hujiu and the others, who had just woken up, quickly bowed and greeted him.
"Your honor."
Li Chengtian nodded slightly and said, "Yes!"
Then, looking at Baili Dongjun, he continued:
"You did well this time. I told you before, if you could get that Celestial Palace-grade treasure sword,..."
I will teach you a sword technique. I always keep my word, so I will now teach you a sword technique.
Upon hearing Li Chengtian's words, Baili Dongjun's face lit up with ecstatic joy, his eyes gleaming with excitement.
However, at that moment, Li Chengtian suddenly appeared in front of Baili Dongjun with astonishing speed.
Baili Dongjun was completely unprepared for this turn of events and didn't even have time to react.
Li Chengtian extended a finger and gently touched Baili Dongjun's brow.
In an instant, a powerful force surged into Baili Dongjun's mind.
A horizontal sword technique, which Li Chengtian had continuously refined and reached the level of a terrestrial immortal, was directly transmitted into his mind.
This horizontal sword technique is the culmination of Li Chengtian's many years of hard work, containing endless sword intent and the essence of swordsmanship.
It is not just a sword technique, but also a comprehension and breakthrough in the way of the sword.
At this moment, this horizontal sword technique was deeply engraved into Baili Dongjun's soul like a brand, becoming a precious asset on his path of cultivation.
A few breaths passed, and after Li Chengtian finished teaching, he returned to his previous position.
Meanwhile, Baili Dongjun stood there blankly, receiving the Horizontal Sword Technique, a level of a terrestrial immortal, that Li Chengtian had passed down to him in his mind.
Wen Hujiu saw the dazed Baili Dongjun and wanted to go forward to check on him, but Mingyue Xin stopped him directly:
"I advise you not to disturb him. He is currently receiving the sword techniques passed down to him by the master. If you rashly disturb him..."
Then he might lose this opportunity that the master has given him.
Upon hearing Mingyue Xin's words, Wen Hujiu abruptly stopped, his eyes widening in astonishment as he stared at the stunned Baili Dongjun. His mouth agape, he murmured after a long pause, "This... how is this possible?"
Mingyue Xin glanced at the warm wine pot, her tone carrying a hint of disdain:
"What's impossible? As long as you reach a certain level, this is how martial arts techniques are taught."
This method allows learners to grasp the essence of the technique more deeply; if a learner has sufficient comprehension, they may even directly reach the stage of minor mastery.
After hearing Mingyuexin's explanation, Wenhujiu smiled awkwardly, secretly relieved. It turned out he wasn't ignorant after all.
However, he still had some doubts and couldn't help but ask:
"But I've never seen anyone teach martial arts like this before."
Mingyue Xin chuckled softly, turning her gaze to Lei Mengsha and the others, only to see that they all wore expressions of utter surprise.
She chuckled inwardly, knowing that these people must also be seeing such a peculiar method of instruction for the first time.
So she comforted the warm wine pot, saying:
"Don't worry, you'll get used to it gradually."
At this moment, Lei Mengsha, Ye Dingzhi, and the others also recovered from their shock. They looked at each other, their eyes filled with amazement.
They knew that to be able to teach martial arts in such a miraculous way, one must have extremely high cultivation and skill.
It seems that this mysterious venerable one not only possesses unfathomable strength, but also has a far greater understanding of martial arts than ordinary people.
After the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the hidden internal energy within Baili Dongjun instantly entered his eight extraordinary meridians, and his cultivation level directly broke through to the Free and Easy Realm.
Then Baili Dongjun opened his eyes, drew the Undying Dust sword from his waist, and leaped into the lake to begin practicing his horizontal sword technique.
Boom boom boom!
Around Baili Dongjun, water dragons surged and crashed across the lake, like ferocious giant dragons. Each impact created huge splashes and waves, causing the entire lake surface to boil.
With a loud shout from Baili Dongjun:
"Across a thousand miles," he swung the Untainted Dust sword in his hand faster and faster, his swordsmanship becoming increasingly fierce.
The eight water dragons merged together, forming a huge water column that crashed towards the center of the lake.
boom!
In an instant, a huge hole was punched in the center of the lake, and the bottom of the lake could even be seen.
The lake water seemed to have been blown open, splashing up waves dozens of feet high, as if it were going to drown the sky.
Wen Hujiu, Ye Dingzhi, Lei Mengsha, and Sikong Changfeng, who were on the shore, stared in disbelief at Baili Dongjun's horizontal sword technique.
They had never imagined that the Horizontal Sword Technique could be so powerful; it was truly earth-shattering.
After a long while, Sikong Changfeng stammered:
"Wow...that's powerful! I reckon even a master of the Free and Unfettered Heaven Realm would be annihilated by this move!" The others nodded in agreement.
Wen Hujiu couldn't help but nod and say, "Indeed, anyone in the Nine Heavens Realm who is hit by this move will surely die. Even if I were hit by this move, I would probably be seriously injured."
Lei Mengsha, one of the Eight Young Masters standing beside Wen Hujiu, was deeply shocked upon hearing Wen Hujiu's words.
He stared wide-eyed in disbelief at Baili Dongjun, who was practicing swordsmanship in the distance.
He simply couldn't believe that Baili Dongjun, whom they had once considered a "noob," had made such amazing progress in such a short period of time.
Your Majesty's methods are truly extraordinary!
Lei Mengsha sighed inwardly, his respect for the Venerable One growing ever stronger.
At this moment, Baili Dongjun finished his practice and gracefully leaped back to the shore.
He wore a smile, his gaze confident and unwavering, as if the whole world was at his feet.
He looked at the shocked crowd and smiled smugly:
"Hahaha! How about that? My skills are pretty good, right?"
Ye Dingzhi stared at Baili Dongjun, his feelings quite complicated.
Just moments ago, he needed to conserve his strength to defeat Baili Dongjun, but now he clearly realized that he probably couldn't last more than ten rounds against Baili Dongjun.
This huge gap made him feel a little frustrated, but he was more amazed by Baili Dongjun's growth.
Li Chengtian silently observed Baili Dongjun, a satisfied expression on his face.
He nodded and said approvingly:
"Not bad. I'll arrange for you to become an apprentice in a while."
Upon hearing this, Baili Dongjun felt a surge of excitement.
He hurriedly bowed and thanked him, saying, "Thank you very much, Your Excellency."
Li Chengtian nodded slightly.
Then, he turned his gaze to Ye Dingzhi and calmly said:
"Come with me, I have something to say to you."
After saying that, he turned around and walked away.
Seeing this, Ye Dingzhi followed Li Chengtian without any hesitation.
After arriving at a dense forest, Li Chengtian stopped, turned around, and looked at Ye Dingzhi, saying slowly:
"Do you want to seek revenge against the Northern Li royal family?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Dingzhi's body trembled violently, and a hint of barely concealed excitement flashed in his eyes as he asked in a trembling voice:
