Chapter 273 The Dust Has Settled
The moon was in the middle of the sky, but the wind showed no sign of stopping, blowing the entire night sky clear like a piece of dark blue crystal.
Today was the middle of the moon, and the light of the full moon illuminated the world, even the stars disappeared.
In this night that seemed like daylight, a fierce battle was going on in Yandu City.
"Yan Xizhao, do you have to kill them all?" Wei Tianlin couldn't help but roar.
He, who used to be high and mighty, no longer had the spirit of the past, and was covered with scars and in a mess.
Yan Xizhao was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, just waved his hand.
In an instant, the army behind her surged up like a tide.
Wei Tianlin showed despair.
At this time, there were only a few guards left around him.
Although Yan Xizhao's people also suffered heavy losses, they still had an overwhelming advantage.
So facing the oncoming army, Wei Tianlin recalled his previous ambitions and the desperate situation he was facing, and could only sigh helplessly.
"It is not my fault that Heaven has not destroyed Dayan."
After saying that, Wei Tianlin drew his sword and committed suicide on the spot.
After his death, the remaining guards did not surrender, but shouted.
"Master!"
Then they rushed up with red eyes.
Although these people were determined to die, the huge gap in strength soon killed them under the sword.
With just one charge, Wei Tianlin, the master of the Wei family, and the remaining elites under his command were all killed.
This top family with a hundred years of inheritance was declared extinct.
Yan Xi looked at the dead bodies on the ground, and finally waved his hand, "Next one."
That night, dozens of wealthy families, including the Wei family and the Lin family, were completely wiped out.
The Xuanyang Sect was destroyed, most of the elders were killed, and this once glorious top sect was declared expelled.
And with the destruction of the old order, new heroes often come into being.
For example, Zhao Ya, who killed Xie Tianfeng with a knife, became famous that night, and his master Lu Dingtai was also remembered by the world.
But the most dazzling one is Yan Xizhao.
Because she almost turned the tables under almost impossible circumstances.
This also made many people sigh that the fate of Dayan is not over, otherwise how could there be a genius like Yan Xizhao.
Zhao Ya didn't know about these disturbances. At this time, he was doing something similar to Yan Xizhao.
The difference is that Yan Xizhao killed people in the open, while Zhao Ya was chasing them in secret.
Outside the city of Yandu.
Feng Rong ran out in a panic following the leader of the Bliss Sect.
"Master, I have a large sum of money hidden outside. Please don't abandon me!" Feng Rong was afraid that the master of the Bliss would abandon her again, so she begged.
"Don't worry, if I planned to abandon you, why would I come to the palace to find you?" The master of the Bliss explained.
But Feng Rong was still a little worried.
Because for Feng Rong, who was bought by the Bliss Cult since she was a child and specially trained to be a tool to seduce high-ranking officials, she was very familiar with the morals of these people in the Bliss Cult.
These people have no bottom line to speak of. They will not hesitate to sell out their parents for the sake of profit, let alone she is just an ordinary person.
That's why she repeatedly stated that she still had a fortune hidden outside, just to let the master of the Bliss Cult not abandon her.
The master of the Bliss Cult was also a little depressed at this moment.
Originally thought that after climbing the big tree of the Wei family, she and the Bliss Cult would be able to rise to prominence from then on.
But he never expected that the plan could not keep up with the changes. Xuanyang Sect and Wei Family were defeated, and the defeat was horrible.
At that time, the leader of the Jile Sect knew that the situation was not good, so he did not even dare to show his face and ran away directly.
But he did not leave directly, but ran to the palace to find Feng Rong, intending to kill this person first.
After all, if she fell into the hands of Yan Xizhao and others, she would definitely betray the Jile Sect and himself.
Wouldn't he be in danger?
And as long as he killed her, all the blame could be pushed onto Wei Tianlin.
But Feng Rong was not a fool. When he saw the Jile Sect leader rushing in with murderous intent, he immediately understood that the situation outside was obviously not good, so he immediately offered all the wealth he had plundered during this period, and at the same time said that he had buried treasures outside the palace, just to save his life.
These words touched the Jile Sect leader.
Now the foundation of Yandu City must be ruined. If you want to make a comeback, you must have a lot of wealth as a backing.
For this reason, the leader of the Ji Le sect changed his mind and took Feng Rong to run out of Yandu City in the chaos.
At this moment, they were already more than ten miles away from Yandu City. Although they could still see the flames rising into the sky, they could no longer hear the shouts and screams.
Until then, the leader of the Ji Le sect felt relieved a little, and was about to stop and question Feng Rong about where she hid the money.
But at this moment, he felt a flash in front of his eyes, and then he saw a figure appear in front of him.
A person that the leader of the Ji Le sect didn't want to see in his dreams.
"Zhao... Zhao..." He couldn't even say a complete sentence.
Zhao Ya just smiled slightly at this.
"You ran quite fast. If I hadn't discovered it early enough, you would have really run away."
"Zhao Ya, you and I are not interfering with each other. Can you give me a face and let me live? As long as you raise your hand, I have 100,000 taels of gold notes to offer."
The situation was stronger than the person, and the leader of the Bliss Sect planned to spend money to save his life.
But Zhao Ya didn't give him this face at all.
"No!"
After saying these two decisive words, Zhao Ya rushed forward.
After a cup of tea.
Zhao Ya went to Yandu City, thinking about the information he had pried out from the leader of the Bliss Sect.
Most of the elites of the Bliss Sect were killed in this battle.
With the death of this leader, the Bliss Sect was in name only, and even if a few small shrimps survived by chance, they would not be able to cause any trouble.
Thinking of this, Zhao Ya couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, and then quickly returned to Yandu City with the hundreds of thousands of taels of gold notes he had looted from the leader of the Bliss Sect and Feng Rong.
As soon as he returned to Jingzhao Prefecture, he saw that Lan Tang and Lan Qingshan, the grandfather and grandson, had escorted Zui'er back safely.
It turned out that before returning to Yandu City, Zhao Ya was afraid of encountering any danger, so he went to the Lan Family Escort Agency and asked the grandfather and grandson to personally protect Zui'er and follow behind.
And told them to wait until the war in the capital was settled before entering the city.
Although this battle was tragic, fortunately the result was good, and everything was finally settled.
Zhao Ya did not go to see Shang Jingchuan, because he knew that Shang Jingchuan must be busy at this time.
He went directly to a small courtyard in the back court to see his master Lu Dingtai.
The first sentence after meeting, Lu Dingtai did not ask what Zhao Ya had done, but asked directly.
"When do you plan to go to the foreign land?"
"My original plan was to return to Yunxiao County to see you after finishing the affairs of Yandu City, and then get up to go to the foreign land. Now that you are here, I don't have to go back." Zhao Ya said.
Lu Dingtai nodded, "Okay, with your current strength, it's better to go to Huawai sooner rather than later, because if you want to open your meridians, only the big sects of Huawai Thirteen Sects will not delay you."
Lu Dingtai didn't know how to open the meridians.
After all, when he left Huawai, he was only in the fourth realm.
So at this moment, he was most worried that Zhao Ya would delay his future cultivation because of some trivial matters.
Zhao Ya knew this very well, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
Lu Dingtai was really good to him.
Just the fact that he came all the way to Yandu City for him was enough to prove that the master's call was not in vain.
Thinking of this, Zhao Ya suddenly thought of something, and then smiled and said: "Master, do you know what I did when I was out for more than 20 days this time?"
"What did I do?" Lu Dingtai asked.
Zhao Ya then roughly recounted how he seized the treasure map from Fu Tingyuan, how he found clues, and then went to Wanshou County, went deep into Wanshou Mountain, and finally found the remains of the King of the East.
Of course, Zhao Ya did not explain many details here.
Especially the last secret book of the Star-Swallowing True Power, Zhao Ya was even more vague.
It was not that he did not trust Lu Dingtai, but it was really related to the more mysterious Yuanhai Realm. It was best not to tell anyone about this, otherwise it would easily cause unnecessary trouble.
Even so, Lu Dingtai's eyes were full of surprise.
Especially when he heard that Fu Dongjun was in a state of seclusion in order to break through, and finally died with regret, he could not help but sigh.
"This person can be regarded as a true warrior, but his ending is a bit regrettable."
"Yes, but I saw some of the explanations of martial arts by Senior Fu Dongjun on the wall of this tomb, especially on how to open the meridians and how to cultivate the foundation of true power. Senior Fu Dongjun explained it in great detail."
Lu Dingtai was interested, but did not ask any more questions.
Because even if Zhao Ya was his apprentice, he had found this secret with great difficulty, and he was embarrassed to ask.
Zhao Ya naturally saw this, so he smiled and said, "Master, do we need to be so polite between master and apprentice? Even if you don't ask, I want to tell you these things."
Then Zhao Ya combined his own understanding and told Lu Dingtai what opening the meridians was and how to cultivate the foundation of true power in the dantian.
Of course, Zhao Ya did not mention the method of cultivating the star-swallowing true power, but gave Lu Dingtai the Xuanyang True Power Secret Book that he found from Xie Tianfeng.
Xie Tianfeng obviously has absolute confidence in his own strength, otherwise he would not carry such a precious secret book with him.
With this as a reference, Lu Dingtai will have a clearer understanding of how to cultivate true power and how to open the meridians.
When Lu Dingtai reaches this level of martial arts practice, many principles are basically understood at once, and Zhao Ya does not need to explain them at all.
After listening, Lu Dingtai remained silent, and then sighed sincerely after a long while.
"This senior Dong Wang is really a martial artist with natural talent. If I live in the same era, I will make friends with him no matter what."
"Yes, what he lacks may be a little luck."
Lu Dingtai glanced at Zhao Ya, suddenly smiled, and then reached out and patted him on the shoulder.
"I understand your good intentions. Don't worry. I am not old yet. I couldn't see the way forward before, so I wasted my time. Now you have told me how to go next. I will not waste this opportunity. After all..."
A brilliant light flashed in Lu Dingtai's eyes. "I also want to see what the scenery will be like after I have achieved enlightenment and opened my meridians."
"Okay, then I wish you an early enlightenment and opening of your meridians in advance." Zhao Ya said with a smile.
"You kid... But I like to hear that." Lu Dingtai laughed, but suddenly coughed again.
Zhao Ya hurried forward, "How is it? Were you injured in the battle with Xie Tianfeng?"
Lu Dingtai waved his hand, "No big deal, just the lung meridian was injured by the Xuanyang True Energy, and it will be fine after two days of recuperation."
"But before you go to the Huawai Land, I have a few things to remind you." Lu Dingtai's face became solemn, and he said solemnly.
"Okay, Master, please tell me."
"Although your talent is the highest I have ever seen in my life, even the Tianjiao I saw in Huawai Land that year is not as good as you, but you must not be proud and complacent because of this, because Huawai Land is a real place where dragons and crouching tigers are hidden, and being cautious is the kingly way."
Zhao Ya nodded immediately, "Don't worry about this, I understand."
Lu Dingtai also knew that Zhao Ya had a calm personality, and this reminder was just for precaution.
He was afraid that Zhao Ya would be complacent because of his achievements during this period, which would be dangerous.
Now it seems that I was worrying too much.
"The second is Zui'er!" Lu Dingtai paused, then said.
"That foreign land is different from the past. It will be inconvenient for you to take her there. It will be even more troublesome if you encounter any danger, so I think you'd better leave her here."
"Of course, if you are worried about Zui'er's safety, you can leave her to me. With me here, no one dares to touch her hair. How about it?"
Zhao Ya looked at Lu Dingtai deeply, and finally bowed solemnly.
"Master, in fact, if you don't mention this, I will tell you later, because on the way back, Zui'er herself told me that her current strength is a huge gap with mine. If this continues, she will only be left further and further behind by me, so she wants to stay and find a master to practice martial arts well."
"And you are naturally the most suitable candidate!"
A big stone fell from Lu Dingtai's heart.
When he said this just now, he was a little worried that Zhao Ya would not be willing.
Unexpectedly, he also had this plan, which saved me from persuading him again.
"Okay, leave her to me. I will teach her well and let her grow up as quickly as possible. Although it is impossible for her to catch up with you, at least she can't be so far behind."
