Chapter 296 Surrounding the Mountain
At the same time, the Mohist School was working day and night to make a new batch of Mo Xia swords for the Shenwu Pavilion.

Li Jing, who was far away in Qizhou, finally ended his long battle and rushed back to Cangling City exhausted.

At this moment, he hurried back to Cangling City with his personal guards. Although his face was covered with dust from the journey, it could not hide his heroic spirit.

After hearing the news, Su Ye went to the hall of the governor's mansion to meet Li Jing in person.

"Thank you for your hard work, pharmacist!"

"This time, the pharmacist went east to conquer Qizhou and captured the King of Qi alive. We should congratulate the pharmacist!"

The moment Li Jing stepped into the hall, Su Ye stepped forward, held his hand tightly, and said with emotion.

"My lord, you are too kind. Jing was just fulfilling his duty as a military commander."

"Without the unconditional support and trust of the lord, Jing would not have achieved what he has today."

Li Jing bowed slightly and said in a deep voice.

The two smiled at each other, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Afterwards, Su Ye led Li Jing to his seat and the banquet began.

The two clinked their glasses and drank, and the atmosphere at the banquet became more and more lively.

Afterwards, Su Ye introduced to Li Jing the recent development of Shenwu Pavilion and its future plans.

When talking about the fact that the Mohist School was rushing to make a new batch of Mo Xia swords for the Shenwu Pavilion, a hint of admiration flashed in Li Jing's eyes.

"The Mohist skills are indeed well-deserved. It is really admirable that they can create such a sophisticated weapon."

Li Jing sighed as he played with the Mo Xia sword that Su Ye handed to him.

Previously, he was one of the three heroes of Fengchen.

Naturally, I understand how much of a benefit this exquisitely crafted Moxia sword can bring to a man of the world.

"Yes, the ingenuity and skills of the Mohists are truly amazing."

"With these sophisticated weapons, I believe the strength of Shenwu Pavilion will be further improved."

Su Ye nodded and smiled.

The two chatted and laughed happily, and before they knew it, it was already late at night.

After the banquet, Su Ye personally escorted Li Jing to the gate of the mansion.

The moonlight sprinkled on the two of them, coating their figures with a layer of silver glow.

At this time, in Yuzhou in the northern border of Daqian.

At this time, the Zixia Taoist sect was ranked among the top three in the northern part of Daqian.

Located on the top of Luoxia County in Yuzhou, it is surrounded by clouds and mist, like a fairyland.

At this time, the atmosphere within the Taoist sect was extremely depressing.

"It's bad, Master!"

"The mountain is full of Night Furies!"

A disciple dressed in the uniform of the Zixia Taoist sect ran hurriedly into the sect's main hall.

The leader of the Zixia Taoist sect was shocked, and a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes.

He stood up slowly, gathered all his internal energy, and leapt up.

Come to the highest point of the hall and look into the distance.

On the road below the mountain, I saw flags covering the sky and cavalrymen flowing like a stream.

That was the Night King's Night Evil Army, which had surrounded the Zixia Taoist sect.

Previously, Si Ruokong and others from Daqian raided King Yan and beheaded him.

The Night King, who was already in a vague offensive and defensive situation with the Fire King, had already sent his own celestial beings to provide support.

But before he could leave Yuzhou, he was stopped by the Tianren Patriarch of the Zixia Taoist Sect.

Therefore, under the influence of Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Guangyi, the Night King, who had already made up his mind, had reached the time of reckoning.

Before fighting the outside world, you must first make peace with the inside.

Let’s first eliminate those traitors in the Zixia Taoist sect in Yuzhou who have clearly made it clear that they are on the side of Daqian!

The entire Zixia Taoist sect seemed to be shrouded in a haze at this moment, and the disciples looked at each other, at a loss as to what to do.

They knew that the Night King's Night Demon Army was brave and good at fighting, and was famous in Yuzhou. They must have come with bad intentions this time.

The head sect leader took a deep breath. He had to stabilize the situation. For the future of the Taoist sect, he had to stand up.

"Everyone, there is no need to panic. Our Zixia Taoist sect has gone through many ups and downs. Today's predicament is just a test on our path of cultivation." He turned and said to his disciples.

However, despite what the leader said, everyone knew it in their hearts.

This time the Night Evil Army is coming with great force, and the Zixia Taoist sect will face unprecedented challenges.

As night fell, moonlight shone on the mountain gate of Zixia Taoist sect, illuminating the tightly closed door.

The Night Fury Army was like a black torrent, flashing cold light under the moonlight.

Their armor made crisp metallic sounds in the silent night, as if announcing their impending fate.

The Zixia Taoist sect is like a lone boat in a storm, about to face an unknown fate.

The disciples of Zixia Taoist sect stared nervously at the mountain below. They knew that this would be the toughest battle in their lives.

"Order all disciples to get ready!"

The head of Zixia Dao Sect solemnly instructed the elder beside him.
His eyes were determined and his face was serious, and an unshakable aura emanated from him, as majestic as a mountain.

Upon hearing this, the elder immediately bowed and replied, "Yes, Master!"

He then turned around and hurried away to convey the leader's orders.

The leader looked into the distance, looking at the aggressive Night Fury Army at the foot of the mountain, and sighed inwardly: This disaster has finally come.

The head of the sect took a deep breath, gathered his internal strength, and streaked across the sky like a meteor, quickly rushing towards the back mountain of the Zixia Taoist sect.

He knew that they needed a stronger force at this moment to fight against the Night King's attack.

The celestial ancestor who practices in seclusion in the back mountain is their last hope.

This is where the ancestor of heaven and man practiced in seclusion.

In the back mountain, after passing through pine forests and crossing mountain ridges, the head master landed gently in front of a quiet cave.

We came to a quiet place in the back mountain.

He walked slowly into the cave. The light in the cave was dim, but there was a mysterious atmosphere in the air.

I saw a white-haired old man in Taoist robes, sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed on a huge rock.

A faint purple aura lingered around his body, as if he had merged into one with the heaven and earth.

"Grandmaster, I have something to ask you."

The headmaster said respectfully.

After a moment, a long sigh was heard from the cave, and then a figure slowly stood up.

He was an old man with white hair and beard, a kind face, but eyes as deep as the sea.

He is the celestial ancestor of the Zixia Taoist sect, a legendary figure.

"What makes you so panicked?"

The ancestor of heaven and man spoke slowly, his voice revealing a kind of majesty.

The head of the sect took a deep breath and reported in detail the siege of the sect by the Night Evil Army.

His tone was serious, his face full of worry.

"Alas... the troubled times have arrived. Where in this world can I find a piece of pure land to find peace of mind and body?"

The ancestor of heaven sighed softly, with deep worry in his eyes.

The leader of the Zixia Taoist sect stood solemnly, looking worried.

"This matter is of great importance. Since the Night King dared to attack our Zixia Taoist sect so blatantly, he must have planned it for a long time and has made up his mind."

Upon hearing this, the Tianren Patriarch frowned and thought for a long time before he slowly spoke.

"Ancestor, what should we do now?"

The headmaster's heart tightened and he asked anxiously.

"You don't have to worry too much. My Zixia Taoist sect has been passed down for thousands of years and has gone through many hardships. We have our own strategies to deal with it."

"Thinking back then, the founder founded the Taoist sect in troubled times and went through countless hardships and obstacles, but he still stood firm."

"How can today's predicament be a problem for us?"

The Tianren Patriarch took a deep breath, tightened his hands behind his back, and said in a deep voice:

There was an incomparable firmness in his words.

It seems to be able to penetrate the dust of time, making people feel an ancient and majestic atmosphere.
