SFS Chapter 1262
Chapter 1262
"Be careful, Celestial Master's disciple, Cui Ming."
"The demon seed is hidden very deep; it must have been planted by the Demon-Sealing Clan a long time ago."
While [Drunken Wanderer] was still in shock, Xu Shan suddenly changed the subject.
His intention was to remind the other party to be wary of receiving messages from them during their nighttime operation.
"The Demon-Sealing Clan, in alliance with the Barbarian Clan, besieged Zhenwu Mountain. Moreover, after brazenly breaching several barriers, I realized that some of my disciples had betrayed us."
"Bringing Cui Ming up the mountain this time is also another test!"
"I didn't expect it to be him!"
"Rest assured, Duke Xu, the entire Zhenwu Mountain community will fully cooperate with your operations here."
Upon hearing this, Xu Shan nodded emphatically and said, "Okay."
"But before that, the Celestial Master has to put on a show with me."
"Ok?"
……
Cui Ming and the others, who had been sent flying by Xu Shan's slap, were no longer as arrogant as before.
But sticking together for warmth, they started slandering Xu Fengnian in front of him, who had rushed over after hearing the news.
"Your Highness, this Duke Xu is far too arrogant."
"You'd kill us over a mere disagreement?"
"This clearly shows they don't take our Northern Liang Royal Palace seriously."
"We've been guarding the borders for the Ming Dynasty, and this is how he treats us?"
"that is!"
"Not only towards the Northern Liang Prince's Mansion, but this Xu fellow was also extremely arrogant towards the [Drunken Wanderer] Celestial Master."
“Right in front of him, he slapped Senior Brother Cui away.”
Faced with the crowd's united hatred, 'Xu Fengnian' outwardly reprimanded them, but inwardly he was overjoyed!
After succeeding tonight, he planned to use his status as the crown prince to sow discord between Northern Liang and the imperial court.
They even openly opposed the Ming Dynasty.
At that time, the Northern Liang army marched from Jizhou into Lu and Yuzhou, drawing fire from the barbarians. Meanwhile, the barbarians, after occupying Jinzhou, marched into the Central Plains from the west.
The Northern Liang army was used to wear down the Ming army, while the barbarians reaped the benefits.
Now, he needs these offerings to garner his shared hatred of the enemy.
"The Duke of Xu came here to save the princess."
"This is a distinguished guest invited by the Crown Prince."
"Whatever grudges you have, put them aside for now."
"Alright, you guys go down the mountain first."
"We can discuss other matters after tonight."
Chen Youliang and the others, who also sensed their young master's dissatisfaction with Xu Shan, secretly noted it down and then clasped their hands in a fist and said, "We will obey the young master's orders."
"But Your Highness, let us make this clear from the outset."
"In the Northern Region, Beiliang is in charge, and we swear to defend it to the death. But if it were the imperial court, we would be unable to comply."
The implication is that the people of the Northern Liang Prince's Mansion only obey the orders of the heir apparent.
This is also the outcome that Pudu Cihang, who seized this body, hoped to see.
'boom. ’
'Boom.'
As the group forcefully uttered these words, a series of ear-piercing sounds of fighting suddenly erupted from within the Futian Cave, which was protected by a barrier.
"Ok?"
Upon hearing this, everyone instinctively looked in the direction of the voice.
At the entrance of the cave, Xu Shan's figure could be vaguely seen.
"Celestial Master, you flatter me!"
After saying this, Xu Shan turned around, his face pale.
Upon seeing 'Xu Fengnian', he immediately said, 'Your Highness, such a wonderful place as Futian Cave is beyond my ability to enjoy.'
"In that case, the Duke will wait outside."
"When you are ready to launch your attack, then call upon the Duke of this land."
Before Xu Fengnian could even speak, he had already turned and left.
"This……"
Upon hearing this, Pudu Cihang's face was filled with embarrassment. But inwardly, he was secretly delighted.
It seems that the protective [Drunken Wanderer] has developed a grudge against Xu Shan because of the Cui Ming incident.
Then when I start tonight, the two of us won't be able to work in the same direction.
Just as Pudu Cihang predicted...
Not long after Xu Shan left, [Zui Xiaoyao], with blood still at the corner of his mouth, walked out with a furious look in his eyes.
"You have no respect for your elders."
"If it weren't for my junior brother's guidance, would you, Xu Shan, be where you are today?"
Upon seeing this, both the Crown Prince and Cui Ming quickly stepped forward to offer their advice.
After calming him down, Pudu Cihang turned around and said to his deputy with an excited expression, "Everything is going according to plan."
"Order your men to quickly dig a tunnel through the underground passage."
"Make sure tonight's operation goes perfectly."
"Yes!"
Just as Pudu Cihang was confident of victory and actively preparing for battle.
The system notification sound rang in Xu Da Guan Ren's ears.
'Ding dong. '
"Congratulations, host. You have successfully deduced the [Celestial Origin Star Array]."
'Ding dong. '
"The host has already completed the deduction of the [Heavenly Origin Star Formation]. The [Earthly Fiend Star Formation], a variant of it, is expected to be deduced within thirty minutes."
"The [Reversal of Heavenly Gang] is currently being deduced."
Upon hearing this suggestion, Xu Shan stood atop Lingshan Peak, overlooking the hands-on 'Xu Fengnian' and his team.
Then, a cold smile appeared on his face as he muttered, "You crave to possess my body and dominate the [Twelfth-Grade World-Destroying Black Lotus]."
"And how could I not also covet your Yin and Sha origins?"
"The Twelfth-Grade World-Destroying Black Lotus is just a few petals away from fully blooming."
"I wonder how much of a surprise you can bring me."
After muttering these words, Xu Shan turned around and added, "After tonight, there will be no more [Earth Demon King] in the Three Realms."
It was past midnight, and the stars were twinkling in the sky.
This is the perfect time to launch an attack!
The central area of the formation was the ice bed where Xu Ying was located.
At this time, Xu Shan and his group had already arrived here ahead of time.
"Princess, Duke Xu..."
"The Crown Prince has ordered that the formation be officially activated in a quarter of an hour."
"He sent his servant to ask if anything else needs to be prepared."
"That's all, you can go now."
"Yes."
After saying this, the attendant immediately added, "To ensure the safety of the princess and the duke, the heir has specially set up a protective array around them."
"To protect the true soul!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Shan immediately nodded.
A few breaths later, the talisman array suddenly activated.
Xu Shan and Xu Ying were 'sealed' inside separately.
Feeling the deep affection of her brother, Xu Ying smiled with relief on her pale face and said, "After the Youzhou incident, Feng Nian has matured."
Upon hearing this, Xu Shan smiled and said, "Princess!"
"It's easy to draw the skin of a tiger, but hard to draw its bones; it's easy to know a person's face, but hard to know their heart."
"Ok?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Ying looked at Xu Shan in surprise and asked, "Duke Xu, what do you mean by that?"
Now that things have come to this, Xu Shan has no need to hide it from the other party any longer.
The true situation was summarized concisely and clearly.
"what?"
After hearing this, Xu Ying, shocked and struggling to sit up, stared at Xu Shan with a cold expression and suspicious eyes, saying, "Duke Xu..."
"My father has just passed away, is the court so eager to take his place?"
"Does Duke Xu find it laughable to fabricate such a reason?"
"Ok?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Shan was taken aback at first, then replied, word by word, "Princess, do you know what it means to..."
"Does a dog bite Lü Dongbin and not recognize a kind heart?"
