Chapter 1506

Qing’an County.

A middle-aged man led a horse and followed the bustling crowd into the county town.

He looked to be in his thirties or early forties, and although his attire was ordinary, his determined expression and resolute bearing made him seem unfathomable.

However, the pedestrians walking around the middle-aged man seemed to be completely unaware of his presence, only instinctively avoiding him, and no one blocked his path.

When night fell, the middle-aged man checked into an inn.

The next morning, just as dawn was breaking, he left the inn and headed south out of the city.

However, just as the middle-aged man rode his horse three li out of town, a graceful figure appeared in the road ahead.

It happened to block his path.

The middle-aged man’s gaze sharpened, and a look of incomparable complexity appeared in his eyes.

After hesitating for a moment, he dismounted and walked towards the other person.

鈥淢iss Zhen Zhen, it’s been a long time.鈥�

The person blocking the road was Wang Zhen Zhen.

She smiled and said, 鈥淗uo Wu Ji, why are you here instead of staying in Changyi?鈥�

In truth, the two had only met once, and that was decades ago.

Huo Wuqi gazed at Wang Zhenzhen, a hint of nostalgia in his eyes. 鈥淚 came to see Master Wang to persuade him to leave the Yunmeng Marshes.鈥�

Wang Zhenzhen said indifferently, 鈥淚 heard that you were ordered by Li Yuanhao to lead an army to subdue the Yunmeng Marshes. Now you’ve come here alone, aren’t you afraid that my father will slap you to death?鈥�

Huo Wuqi smiled bitterly, 鈥淢aster Wang has done me a favor by teaching me, and if I had a choice, I wouldn’t want to be an enemy of Master Wang.鈥�

In fact, compared to Wang Chen, the person he wanted to see more was this woman in front of him.

For decades, Huo Wuqi had never forgotten Wang Zhenzhen.

Even though over the years he had married and had children, and his martial arts had reached the realm of grandmaster, he could not erase this figure from the depths of his memory!

But Huo Wuji knew very well that it was impossible for him and Wang Zhenzhen.

Wang Zhenzhen frowned: 鈥淵ou are already a grandmaster, so why do you have to be Li Yuanhao’s little dog?鈥�

She had only met Huo Wuji once, but she had met Li Yuanhao, the Emperor of Hongwu, three times.

This question pierced Huo Wuji’s soul, causing his eyes to twitch involuntarily. He replied, 鈥淚 owe my achievements today to Your Majesty’s kindness, so…鈥�

However, Wang Zhenzhen didn’t care about his difficulties at all, and sneered, 鈥淗uo Wuji, my father, my family and I will never leave Yunmeng Daze, so you should forget about it.鈥�

After a pause, she continued, 鈥淪ince you are also considered to be my father’s half-disciple, as long as you never come to Yunmeng Daze again in the future, I will let you off.鈥�

鈥淵ou?鈥�

Although Huo Wuji’s mood was low, he couldn’t help but laugh at Wang Zhenzhen’s arrogant words, no matter how deep-seated he was: 鈥淢iss Zhenzhen, you…鈥�

The next moment, his expression suddenly became grave: 鈥淵ou are also a grandmaster!?鈥�

At this moment, Huo Wuji’s mood was extremely bad.

Because he suddenly realized that he had completely underestimated Wang Zhenzhen.

Or to be more precise, he had not been able to see Wang Zhenzhen’s strength and cultivation from the beginning.

And he still couldn’t see it now!

You have to know that Huo Wuji has already entered the realm of the supreme grandmaster, and his eyesight is also sufficient to match his cultivation. As a result, he was unable to see through the other party’s true nature.

What does this mean?

Wang Zhen Zhen didn’t answer, just staring coldly at Huo Wu Ji.

Her contemptuous gaze was like a heavy slap in the face, causing Huo Wu Ji to feel a long-lost pain and intense shame. His previously unwavering resolve suddenly cracked.

Huo Wu Ji was not an ordinary person after all. He took a deep breath and suppressed the shame and indignation in his heart.

The grandmaster said in a deep voice, 鈥淓ven if you are also a grandmaster, it is useless to add Master Wang, because Dawei has already mastered the means to cultivate and restrain grandmasters!鈥�

鈥淚 can tell you that in addition to me, there are three other grandmasters in Dawei at the moment!鈥�

鈥淚n this expedition to the Yunmeng Daze, in addition to the 300,000 elite troops, all the grandmasters, including me, will participate in the battle.鈥�

“Miss Zhen Zhen, I have said all I need to say, so you had better watch yourself.鈥�

Clang!

As soon as Huo Wu Ji finished speaking, he heard a sword clang suddenly ring in his ears.

A warning suddenly arose in his heart, and he felt a coldness in his brow. A chill instantly entered his brain, and he felt as if he had suddenly fallen into an ice cave.

Huo Wu Ji’s pupils suddenly contracted, and he involuntarily took a step back.

The shock in his heart was beyond words!

He subconsciously raised his hand and touched the area above his brow, only to discover a sword scar.

His fingertips were already stained with blood!

Wang Zhenzhen, who was holding a long sword in her hand, said disdainfully, 鈥淕randmaster? How dare you, a nobody, call yourself a grandmaster? My father also said that you are the son of fortune born in a time of crisis, but you are no better than that.鈥�

Huo Wuji’s face instantly turned red.

Since he had achieved martial arts mastery, he had never encountered such blatant humiliation and contempt!

However, what made Huo Wuqi feel extremely sad was that he was unable to refute, let alone counterattack.

Although Wang Zhenzhen’s sword was a sneak attack, it was truly at the level of crushing, making him clearly and unequivocally realize the gap between himself and the opponent.

If Wang Zhenzhen was already so powerful, then what realm was Wang Chen in?

Huo Wuqi thought that after he had broken through to the level of grandmaster, there were not many people in the world who could rival him.

But then Wang Zhen Zhen told him that he was a fake!

Huo Wu Ji had never heard the word 鈥渇ake鈥� before, but he understood exactly what it meant.

鈥淕o,鈥�

Wang Zhen Zhen said indifferently. 鈥淒on’t come back. I’ll be waiting in Qing’an for the 300,000 elite soldiers of Great Wei and the Grandmaster. If you’re still here, I won’t hold back!鈥�

Huo Wu Ji left.

He walked away in a daze, even abandoning his mount.

From then on, neither the Wei court nor Huo Wuji’s family and relatives ever saw the Grandmaster again.

Not even news of him was heard.

Huo Wuji’s whereabouts have become a mystery forever.

One month later, the three major armies of Great Wei 鈥� the Flying Tigers, the Green Wings and the Heroic Forces 鈥� totalling 300,000 troops, gathered in Qing’an County under the command of the three Grandmasters, preparing to launch a campaign against Yunmeng Daze.

The result was that on the second day after the three armies had gathered, the three heads were hung on the flagpole in front of the camp.

These three heads were none other than the heads of the three grandmasters!

The morale of the 300,000-strong army collapsed instantly. Although it did not reach the point of collapse due to the restraint of many generals, it was obviously unrealistic to conquer Yunmeng Daze.

Ten days later, the three major armies withdrew from Qing’an County in disgrace.

This defeat prevented the Great Wei Dynasty from sending troops to conquer Yunmeng Daze again, and Tianyun City was able to enjoy peace for hundreds of years!
