Longevity Begins with the Seven Injuries Fist
Chapter 468 - 268: Celestial Buddha Palm! Divine Movement! Telepathy!
The grand army of the Crown Prince, Nineteen Prince, and Thirty Prince, surged mightily towards the Southern Domain.
A mass of around three hundred thousand soldiers kicked up a cloud of rolling dust.
The sounds of hooves, footsteps, and armor clashing nearly echoed across the entire sky.
After the incident with the White Lotus Sect, these three brothers temporarily united to eliminate threats within the Liang Kingdom that endangered them.
The Crown Prince invited the Abbot Kong Wo from the Great Buddha Temple to assist, while the Nineteen Prince enlisted the help of the True Profound Sect.
As long as they searched the Southern Domain and obtained information about that mysterious figure, they would immediately relay the news to the Great Buddha Temple and the True Profound Sect.
They did not believe that with the involvement of both Daoist and Buddhist sects, the mysterious figure could still survive.
...
This army of roughly three hundred thousand troops trampled the official road into pits and destroyed the farmlands of the commoners.
Their presence was overwhelmingly powerful wherever they went.
Li Xuanji had already received the news.
’What should I do?’
Li Xuanji, with slightly graying temples and a handsome face, could not help but support himself on the table upon hearing the news, and a trace of panic appeared on his face.
Though, over the past few years, his poise had grown significantly.
But after all, he was just in his early thirties and had not seen much, so upon hearing the imminent approach of the court’s grand army, potentially involving both Daoist and Buddhist sects, his heart naturally panicked.
An army of about three hundred thousand plus the two sects, no matter who came, could not help him, not even that mysterious martial artist.
However, he quickly forced himself to calm down.
’Under my command, there are still many martial artists and much power.’
’Besides, according to Master’s plan before, it was to conquer the Southern Domain within twenty years.’
’Now, it has been only four years, and I have already taken the Southern Domain, much faster than expected.’
’Even if I abandon it now, it would still be fine.’
Thinking of this, Li Xuanji immediately made a decision.
He must gather the core warriors of the Heaven-Breaking Army and completely hide them!
As for the cities in the Southern Domain, he would abandon them all, leaving them to the three princes of Liang Kingdom.
After making the decision, Li Xuanji immediately summoned his subordinates and dispatched martial artists with exceptional skills in evasion to various places to spread the message.
... 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦
After disseminating the information, Li Xuanji began to disguise himself.
For the sake of safety, he decided not to hide in the Liang Kingdom anymore.
Because this land, after all, was the dominion of the Liang Court, wherever he hid, he might be discovered.
Although the Heaven-Breaking Army had experts in disguise, who could change his appearance, he could not conceal the martial aura of reaching the Middle Stage of Gang Condensation Realm.
Especially since what he cultivated was the Rakshasa Kui Divine Skill.
The Rakshasa Kui True Qi was extremely domineering and fierce, highly potent, and he could not conceal the aura it exuded entirely through Concealing Qi.
As long as the abbot of the Great Buddha Temple or the Sect Leader of the True Profound Sect saw him, they could discern his cultivation.
He planned to take his household retainers and some absolutely loyal experts to sea to avoid capture.
He thought, the vast ocean, once at sea, would leave no trace.
Even if the imperial army was vast, and the monks from the Great Buddha Temple and Daoists from the True Profound Sect were formidable, they would not be able to find them.
When going to sea, he would naturally send someone back to gather information.
As long as chaos broke out again in Liang Kingdom, he could summon the hidden Heaven-Breaking Army and make a comeback.
As for his fraternal twin sister, Li Yujing, he left her in Jiannan Prefecture City.
After all, besides the retainers of the Heaven-Breaking Army, no one knew the relationship between Li Yujing and Li Xuanji.
Li Yujing did not have to flee with him but could stay in Jiannan Prefecture City to continue managing the merchant guild, essentially acting as Li Xuanji’s eyes and ears.
...
Li Xuanji took his retainers and a dozen loyal martial artists toward the south.
To the extreme south lay the ocean.
At this moment, the sky was already beginning to lighten.
A group of about thirty people was swiftly moving through the forest under the emerging dawn.
Those retainers weak in Lightweight Skill, like Elder Qingxuan, were carried by formidable martial artists as they traversed the forest.
In the middle of their flight, they suddenly felt a powerful presence arise to their right.
A glance revealed a tall and strong monk, with a curly beard hanging straight to his chest, walking in the air towards them.
The monk’s feet stirred the wind, sweeping up sand and pebbles, and his steps crushed bushes and stirred up dust on the ground.
And the monk was approaching extraordinarily fast.
When Li Xuanji and the others first saw the monk, he was still a hundred miles away.
In the blink of an eye, it seemed he was only a few hundred meters away.
"Kong Wo?!"
Seeing the monk’s beard and that incredible Lightweight Skill, the name Kong Wo surfaced in Li Xuanji’s mind.
In the Liang Country Martial Arts, monks with such Lightweight Skill were very few.
And the most formidable among them was Kong Wo.
Clang!
Once Li Xuanji guessed that the monk before him was Kong Wo, he immediately drew his Treasure Saber with a swipe at his waist and held it before him.
Upon hearing Li Xuanji’s words, his retainers and subordinate martial artists became serious, drawing their weapons or adopting defensive stances.
Li Xuanji’s heart raced, disregarding any possible side effects, he fully activated the Rakshasa Kui Divine Skill!
Instantly, the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi churned, distorting the air.
An extremely domineering aura burst forth from Li Xuanji, lifting his cloak!
The Treasure Saber in his hand glittered with a chilling gleam, emitting a hissing Sword Qi.
Kong Wo saw that Li Xuanji, despite being at the Gang Condensation Realm, could instantly elevate his strength to the Divine Realm, and his eyes slightly brightened.
’Using bodily harm to force out the body’s potential martial skill, is that it?’
