Chapter 556: Chapter 315: Pioneering a New Martial Arts Realm, Sword 1 Enters Divine Sight Realm (Part 3)

After speaking, Qin You waved his hand,

a group of people grandly headed towards the outside of the Astronomical Bureau.

At this moment, outside the Astronomical Bureau, chaos reigned.

The Astronomical Bureau, a city within a city,

at this moment had its gates tightly shut, with countless martial artists from the Astronomical Bureau gathered upon the city walls.

And at this time, like an ocean wave surging forth, the army had already surrounded the Astronomical Bureau on all sides, archers in the front, heavy cavalry in the back, poised for action.

In front of the main city gate,

Rong Yichu, Nangong Weiyang, and Kou Baimen rode their horses at the front.

Rong Yichu held up a Holy Decree, speaking coldly: "Director Qin of the Astronomical Bureau, Prefect Wu Qian of Shuntian Prefecture, colluded with the Crown Prince Ji Yunyang in a plot to rebel. By order of His Majesty, we execute the traitors and enter the capital to serve the king!"

Nangong Weiyang slowly raised his hand,

and in an instant, countless archers sprang into action.

Just at that moment,

a calm voice emerged from within the Astronomical Bureau: "Mr. Rong, what a clever move, using a false decree to turn black into white, to transform rebellion into loyalty!"

Qin You, leading the senior members of the Astronomical Bureau and Shuntian Prefecture, walked out and stood atop the city walls, gazing at the army outside.

Nangong Weiyang’s raised hand did not fall, but instead looked towards Rong Yichu.

Rong Yichu narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "Director Qin, Prefect Wu, as colleagues, I hope you two can find your way back!"

Qin You chuckled softly and replied: "Mr. Rong, I also wish to advise you to find your way back. With your talents, there is still a path to greatness. Do not let a moment of impulse lead you astray, or you may regret it immensely later!"

Rong Yichu sighed lightly and shook his head slightly.

"Director Qin, you are the one who is mistaken!"

Rong Yichu looked at Qin You and sighed: "Ah, you have spent your life running about; when young for the country and the people, when old for yourself. Yet repeatedly, due to a lack of discernment, you have walked the wrong path. Even now, you continue to err due to this lack of insight!

Director Qin, I understand your desires, yet you are still as always, unable to see clearly. Relying on the goodwill between you and Mr. Yang Yuzhi, what you desire is within easy reach. My lord, unparalleled throughout history, what you seek is incredibly precious to the world but to my lord, it is merely a worldly possession,

you have countless methods to fulfill your vow, but you insist on choosing the most foolish way!"

Qin You sneered, saying: "I won’t deny that in my life, I’ve misjudged many people, but this time, I’m absolutely certain that I will not fail. Mr. Rong, you are a scholar and cannot understand the significance of what I seek to people like us!"

Rong Yichu shook his head slightly and remained silent.

Nangong Weiyang slowly gestured, saying: "Release the arrows!"

In an instant, countless arrows poured down like torrential rain, swiftly shooting towards the Astronomical Bureau’s people.

However, just as the rain of arrows fell,

the air seemed to freeze,

weak and indistinct waves like ripples gently spread, freezing all the arrows by the Astronomical Bureau’s walls. A terrifying pressure suddenly descended like a gale, causing many warhorses to retreat continuously.

Two figures floated up, standing in mid-air above the city walls.

"Land Immortal!"

Gu Family’s Ancient Kiln was shocked, riding to Rong Yichu, nervously saying: "Mr. Rong, it’s the Nine Ancestors of the Ji Family and the Lü Family’s Seven Ancestors, both are Land Immortals from a hundred years ago, this is trouble!"

In the sky,

the Nine Ancestors of the Ji Family snorted coldly, resembling thunder exploding, sweeping towards the entire city, coldly declaring: "Rebellious traitors intent on revolt, must be executed!"

As his words fell, he gestured with his hand,

those arrows frozen in the sky rapidly reversed direction, flying back furiously at the Yunzhou army,

at the same time, the Nine Ancestors of the Ji Family and the Lü Family’s Seven Ancestors exchanged glances, swiftly diving towards the army, their targets were Rong Yichu, Nangong Weiyang, and other high-ranking members of Marquis Yun’s Mansion.

Yet just in that instant,

a third terrifying presence suddenly emerged between heaven and earth, a monstrous force from within the Yunzhou army, like a clawing dragon swiftly forming into a sky-reaching vortex, golden beams thousandfold, radiant in a billion ways, exceptionally dazzling, directly absorbing all the blinding rain of arrows.

"Boom!"

The terrifying vortex moved, reaching the heavens, connecting above and below, its momentum overwhelming, shaking the fields.

At this moment, the Nine Ancestors of the Ji Family and the Lü Family’s Seven Ancestors originally prepared to charge halted, glancing at each other and seeing doubt in each other’s eyes.

"This presence..."

"Land Immortal?"

Atop the city walls, Qin You also showed confusion, saying: "Haven’t heard of any Land Immortals in Marquis Yun’s Mansion?"

This moment, everyone was astounded,

only Nangong Weiyang and Rong Yichu exchanged a glance,

Nangong Weiyang immediately commanded the army to spread out on both sides, creating a path.

Amid everyone’s amazement,

a young man in plain attire, holding a sword resembling a fire poker, walked from the street towards the gates of the Astronomical Bureau. As he moved, the sky-reaching vortex vanished, countless arrows clattering down onto the ground, piling at the street like a mountain, blocking the whole street.

That young man dressed very simply, without any accessories, even his hair was bound with a hemp rope, beard unkempt, body lean, face devoid of expression, stepping forward one step at a time before ascending into the air.
