Chapter 71 The Rise and Fall of Northern Liang: A New Game
He is the sharpest blade in the Li Yang Dynasty!
It was also the deepest thorn in the heart of Emperor Liyang!
It is a terrifying existence that all martial arts practitioners in the world fear and tremble at the mere mention of it!
Because this King of Northern Liang hated people from the martial arts world the most!
He once personally launched the "Liang-Mang War" that shocked the world, single-handedly annihilating 400,000 Northern Mang soldiers!
They also slaughtered all the martial arts sects within the Northern Wilderness!
Rivers of blood flowed, and millions lay dead!
The cruelty of their methods and the intensity of their murderous intent are simply appalling!
And now, Yang Qian actually says that Yan Nantian's treasure is in Beiliang?
The key to unlocking the treasure is actually this ruthless, murderous prince?!
Is this a joke?!
Go to Beiliang to ask Xu Xiao for the treasure?
What's the difference between this and voluntarily sticking your head under the guillotine?
"Yang Qian, are you playing us?"
Yaoyue looked at Yang Qian with icy eyes. She suspected that this kid was up to some kind of scheme again.
"Are you kidding me?"
Yang Qian laughed upon hearing this. "Palace Mistress Yaoyue, do you think I still have any reason to play tricks on you?"
He shrugged, looking completely innocent, and said, "Everything I said is true. Senior Yan Nantian and Xu Xiao, the King of Beiliang, were sworn brothers! They fought side by side and dominated the world!"
"The so-called Yan Nantian Treasure is actually the spoils of war that the two of them plundered together back then! However, later, in order to pursue a higher level of martial arts and to avoid... cough cough, to avoid some Jianghu feuds, Senior Yan Nantian entrusted all of this treasure to Xu Xiao for safekeeping."
"The key to unlocking the treasure is a jade pendant with a qilin pattern that Senior Yan Nantian always wore close to his body! And that jade pendant is currently in the Valley of Villains!"
Yang Qian once again unleashed his boundless imagination, perfectly weaving Yan Nantian, Xu Xiao, and the elusive treasure together.
This story may sound a bit far-fetched, but upon closer examination, it makes perfect sense.
After all, given Yan Nantian's status and position as the number one swordsman in the world back then, the only person who could become his sworn brother was Xu Xiao, an equally unparalleled hero who was also a legend throughout history!
"you mean……"
Yaoyue looked at him, her eyes gleaming with contemplation. "Should we first go to the Valley of Villains to find the Qilin Jade Pendant? And then take the pendant to Beiliang to ask Xu Xiao for the treasure?"
"No, no, no."
Upon hearing this, Yang Qian shook his head, "Palace Mistress Yaoyue, you're oversimplifying things."
"What kind of place is the Valley of Villains? That's the lair of the Ten Great Villains! It's full of traps and teeming with experts! Moreover, although Senior Yan Nantian passed on all his skills to me, he's still imprisoned in the deepest part of the valley by the Ten Great Villains! If we rashly barge in, forget about finding any jade pendant; we probably won't even know how we died!"
"Then, in your opinion, what should be done?"
"Inviting Moon asked coldly. She had gotten used to following this kid's orders by now. Although she was very unhappy, she had to admit that this kid was indeed smarter than her."
"It's very simple."
A cunning, fox-like smile curled at the corner of Yang Qian's lips. "Using someone else to do the dirty work."
"Using someone else to do the dirty work? This is where dreams begin, and where dreams come true." Yaoyue and Lianxing were both taken aback.
"good."
Yang Qian nodded. "Think about it, why would that mysterious masked man launch such a high-profile attack on your Yihua Palace at this time? How did he know you weren't in the palace? And why did he join forces with the Ten Evils, the Blazing Fire Sect, and the Raging Waves Gang? What does this mean?"
Yang Qian posed several questions in a row, causing Yaoyue and Lianxing to fall into deep thought.
Yes, it's all too coincidental, so coincidental that it's like a huge conspiracy that was planned long ago!
This shows that...
Seeing their increasingly serious expressions, Yang Qian slowly revealed his guess, "Behind that masked man, there must be an even larger and more terrifying force! And this force is very likely a hostile nation that has been coveting our Great Ming Dynasty!"
"for example……"
A cold glint flashed in Yang Qian's eyes. "Li Yang! Or Bei Mang!"
"Their goal isn't just to deal with your Yihua Palace! It's to disrupt the order of the entire martial arts world of the Ming Dynasty! This is to prepare for their next invasion!"
"The reason that masked man dared to humiliate you so arrogantly was to force you out! To force you back to Yihua Palace to fight him to the death! Then they could lay a trap in Yihua Palace and wipe out the two of you, the most outstanding grandmasters of our time! Once you are dead, our entire martial arts world of the Ming Dynasty will be leaderless and vulnerable!"
Although Yang Qian's analysis was just his personal speculation, it was well-reasoned and logically sound, which sent chills down the spines of Yaoyue and Lianxing!
They never imagined that such a shocking conspiracy was hidden behind this!
Lianxing's voice trembled slightly, "We can't just stand by and watch our sisters in the palace be slaughtered, can we?"
"Of course not."
Yang Qian shook his head. "That's why I said I wanted to use someone else to do the dirty work."
He looked at Yaoyue, a confident smile spreading across his face. "We're going to Beiliang now! To find that King of Beiliang, Xu Xiao!"
"What?!"
Yaoyue and Lianxing were once again shocked by Yang Qian's bold idea!
"Going to Beiliang now? Are you crazy?!"
Yaoyue couldn't help but growl, "The Yihua Palace is in imminent danger! Instead of rescuing them, we're going to go to that godforsaken place, Beiliang?!"
"That's right."
Yang Qian nodded. "Precisely because Yihua Palace is on the verge of collapse, we must go to Beiliang! Because the only one who can save Yihua Palace right now is not us, but him!"
Yang Qian pointed north, "—The King of Northern Liang, Xu Xiao!"
"You want to use Xu Xiao's troops to deal with that masked man?"
Yaoyue instantly understood Yang Qian's intention. "But why should Xu Xiao help us? He's no relation to us, and he hates people like us from the martial arts world the most! It's already a favor if he doesn't kick us when we're down!"
"He will."
Yang Qian smiled confidently, "Because I have a reason he can't refuse."
"What reason?"
"It's very simple." Yang Qian looked at her and slowly uttered three words.
"Qin! Shu! Yu!"
