Imperial Treasure

Chapter 1374 - 790: Three Kingdoms Allied Forces!

The days sailing at sea were indeed enjoyable. Dongfang Bubai and Snow Qianxun were not the type to flaunt their affection intentionally in front of others... They could easily showcase their love at any moment unintentionally!

Fortunately, both Sui Yi and Sect Master Yan were people with broad minds, not sensitive to such things, and didn’t feel "offended" at all.

Of course, in the eyes of the Ten Commandments, their Master and Sect Master Yan had an aura of a divine couple that was quite compatible, so they wouldn’t necessarily be overshadowed by the other two....

So the days were quite harmonious.

"We’ve arrived at Dongming."

Dongming was the home ground of Dongfang Bubai. After Sui Yi met the Lady of Dongming and Lie Xun, he didn’t question whether they had joined forces with Jin at Luoyang, partly because such matters are about different factions’ ways of exercising power; helping you is a favor, not helping you is their duty; just because of Dongfang Bubai’s relationship with him, should he disregard all of Dongming?

Secondly, she wasn’t concerned about Jin and his superior, let alone Dongming.

Therefore, Sui Yi never intended to ask the Lady of Dongming these questions, and the Lady of Dongming didn’t mention them either, so both sides quietly let these matters pass.

However, from the Lady of Dongming’s words, the five immediately discovered a serious issue.

"Are you saying... more than two years have passed?" Sui Yi looked at the Lady of Dongming: "Is it my more than two years, or Dongfang’s more than two years?"

The Lady of Dongming looked a bit strange: "It’s yours, Mr. Sui...."

If it were Dongfang Bubai’s time, it would be fine, but if it’s Sui Yi’s...

Then we have a problem.

She had spent at most two months in the Lost Lands.

How did it suddenly become more than two years!

And from the perspective of the Lady of Dongming and others, Dongfang had been away for about five years.

Sui Yi and Dongfang Bubai exchanged a glance, truly odd; the time inside the Lost Lands doesn’t correspond with the time outside?

Space-time, space-time, the flow of time differs.

Sui Yi frowned deeply, subconsciously touched the Cangwu Power in his palm.

Another part of the Cangwu Power exists in this space-time, or... someone else here has altered the space-time?

"If more than two years have passed, has anything happened over in the Central Plains?" Sui Yi asked this question.

The Lady of Dongming smiled, "I knew you’d ask this, sir... More than a year ago, you and the Dongying Yan-Yang Master Qingming made an agreement for a year, he came as promised, but did not wait for you; he fought Ning Daoqi, in that battle, he and Ning Daoqi were evenly matched... Though ultimately defeated, he said before leaving that he would return this year, and by then Hermit Ning would certainly not be his match.... Meanwhile, Miyamoto Musashi fought Heavenly Saber and was also defeated, and Heavenly Saber has already reached Sect Master Level.... However, far from being Qingming’s match..."

The good news is that Sui Yi’s missed appointment didn’t cause any adverse impact on the Central Plains Martial Arts, the bad news is that Qingming’s talent far exceeded the imagination of the Central Plains People, in a mere year, he was evenly matched with Ning Daoqi, and given the progress speed of the young versus the old, Ning Daoqi this year might not be able to match Qingming.

Dongfang Bubai and others are not of this world, so naturally, they didn’t care, they all looked at Sui Yi.

"Now you don’t have to worry, Mr. Sui is back, and Dongying still fears facing defeat."

The Lady of Dongming’s words made Sui Yi raise an eyebrow slightly: "I won’t interfere."

Hmm?

"There will naturally be others to deal with Qingming..." Sui Yi said indifferently.

Glanced at the Lady of Dongming.

"There are people hidden within the Central Plains... far beyond your imagination."

"The young generation is the most terrifying."

Dongfang Bubai naturally understood that the strongest luck in this time-space was with Twin Dragon, and following them were Wanwan and Shi Feixuan, so would these four be the main force?

More than two years is enough time for these four’s skills to skyrocket, including rising stars like Yang Xuyan and Hou Xibai, they will gradually surpass their predecessors...

Sui Yi and others didn’t linger long in Dongming, they sailed straight back to the Central Plains, hearing something during their journey in the sea.

——Three days ago, a large ship of the Mu Mansion from Dongying had already entered Luoyang’s territory.. And for unknown reasons, there seemed to be unrest in many areas of the sea, feeling that there were some inexplicable masters around...

"What a coincidence." Dongfang Bubai stretched lazily, smiled at Sui Yi: "But compared to these people from Dongying, I think you should be more concerned about those inexplicable masters."

Sui Yi said nothing.

He looked toward the direction of Luoyang’s premises.

This battle might be more complex than expected.

Luoyang Subduing Dragon and Taming Tiger Tower.

The Subduing Dragon and Taming Tiger Tower is a Buddhist stronghold, also the most beautiful place in the outskirts of Luoyang; it’s next to Jingnian Zen Temple, inherently possessing an aura beyond the earthly realm.

Buddha talks about subduing dragons and taming tigers, Luoyang has double towers, namely, Subduing Dragon and Taming Tiger.

The two towers stand side by side, and at this moment atop the Subduing Dragon Tower stands a figure, this person is Qingming, his hunting clothes are very apparent, and below the tower are many onmyoji masters along with Miyamoto Musashi sitting cross-legged on the platform, there are many Dongying Warriors who’ve crossed the sea, after two defeats, the Dongying Warriors have grown extremely curious and combative towards the Central Plains Martial Arts World, they’ve come in droves, just to compete with the Central Plains, now, below the Subduing Dragon Tower, there are hundreds of top Dongying Warriors, forming quite a formidable force.

They are waiting, waiting for the masters of the Central Plains to fulfill their promise.

The third battle!

Qingming kept watching the seas direction, he was waiting for someone, the one who effortlessly defeated him more than two years ago...

For some reason, he had defeated Ning Daoqi and lost to that person, yet in his heart only valued one the most.

Perhaps because Ning Daoqi still adheres to the martial way, while only that person truly embodies the technique.

On this third trip to the Central Plains, Miyamoto Musashi once asked him, "Do you have confidence to deal with Ning Daoqi?"

"Ning Daoqi? This time, it won’t be Ning Daoqi fighting against me..."

"Could it be her?"

"If she doesn’t come, then it can only be Shi Zhixuan."

At this moment, Qingming is waiting here.

The masters of the Central Plains have arrived.

The Central Plains has now fully entered the phase of "power," meaning both the martial world and the officialdom are mutually influencing each other, forming various factions. Individual cultivation is quite rare; most have joined a faction to vie for dominance.

For instance, Wagang Stronghold, the Li Family, the Yuwen Family, the Song Family, the Righteous Army, the Flying Horse Ranch, etc...

At this moment, these forces and sects are residing near the Subduing Dragon and Taming Tiger Tower, and from afar, they can already see the towering Qingming.

"Arrived so quickly."

"This year might be tricky, even Hermit Ning said he might not be a match for this Yan-Yang Master."

"If we lose, it would be a huge embarrassment for the Central Plains."

Not just embarrassment!

However, most people of the Central Plains don’t think they will lose, because Ning Daoqi is not the only one from the Central Plains.

"Here they come!"

A saber from the sky, its glare domineering!

With a buzz, the saber falls, and Song Que stands on the rooftop opposite Miyamoto Musashi, his robes fluttering, and says calmly: "Arrived early, almost made you wait..."

Miyamoto Musashi, leaning on his sword, raises his eyes and says: "Just you?"

Song Que clasps his hands behind his back and responds calmly: "They have many matters...I am too idle, couldn’t wait..."

Pausing for a moment, he adds: "Besides, too many would not be good for you, though you have brought quite a few."

The people from Dongying display some anger, Miyamoto Musashi raises his hand and says: "Song Que, you are well aware today...this challenge for the Central Plains will be tough, you might as well hope for Mr. Sui, who has been missing for over two years, to return in time...

"But she also doesn’t seem to be from the Central Plains."

Implying that even if she comes, it won’t have much impact on the Central Plains’ momentum.

Song Que remains noncommittal, and at this time....

Ning Daoqi finally arrives.

Beside him is Fan Qinghui, the two Sect Leaders arriving together, reminding everyone of the time when Sui Yi battled Qingming, when these two Sect Leaders also watched together, and of course, there was Zhu Yuyan at that time.

Qingming sees Ning Daoqi and smiles lightly: "The Hermit is as young as always."

Such a full remark of mockery.

Still not younger than you.

Ning Daoqi, also with good nature, laughs: "Not as fit as you young people, coming every year, this year I can’t bear it."

Is he admitting inferiority to Qingming?

Down below, those who have observed the past years such as Shang Xiuxun, feel a jolt in their hearts.

"Looks like this year indeed isn’t good," Qin Shubao sighs.

Shen Luoyan says: "The battle hasn’t started, nor ended, never draw conclusions hastily...besides, how do you know Ning Daoqi is the strongest now?"

Not Ning Daoqi, could it be Song Que? Or....

Shi Zhixuan? Zhu Yuyan?

But will these two make a move?

"The Hermit knows...every year when I come, my target is not you, nor other people, it’s a pity she still won’t come this year..."

Qingming says indifferently and suddenly adds: "Since she’s not coming, then this year’s martial discussion might as well expand the scope."

What does this mean?

And at this time....

"Ning Daoqi...long time no see."

"Song Que...haven’t seen you in years."

The almost simultaneous voices cause Ning Daoqi, Fan Qinghui, and Song Que to slightly change their expressions.

Following are the directions from the north and south.....

When Fu Cailin appears, Song Que frowns.

And when that tall, wicked, and domineering person appears, Song Que’s face darkens.

"Bi Xuan"

Behind these two are members of the Fu Family from Goryeo and disciples under the Martial Saint Sect of the Turks, the manpower of these two groups even surpassing the people from Dongying.

But their combined strength is about the same.

Together...terrifying!

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

The masters from the Central Plains, who were still dispersed on the streets or various taverns watching, say nothing and fly out of their places, gathering together, looking at the incoming three forces.

Turks, Dongying, Goryeo!

The three parties join forces! This is a game between martial arts and nations!

"Ah~~ this is indeed a big game," Natasha sitting on the third-floor platform of a tavern, legs crossed, glances at the Three Kingdoms Allied Forces by the Subduing Dragon Tower, raises an eyebrow, and laughs: "Hey, lady, do you think the Central Plains can get through today? Are we really not going to make a move?"

Hell’s Wan Ge, arms crossed leaning against the railing, dressed in long pants and leather clothes, looks cool and stern.
