Chapter 482: Chapter 16 The Strong Wind Rises! (Request for Monthly Votes)_3

The elder casually jumped in and encountered a guard, whom he knocked unconscious with a single Sky Splitting Palm strike.

Then he found a place with wine and meat, and settled himself there.

Drinking and eating, he simply waited for that young man to show up.

......

In a grand mansion near the City Lord Mansion of Zhenbei City, some distinguished guests had recently moved in. The original Shadow Wall now bore the red Soaring Dragon emblem of the Imperial Family of Central State, but Zhenbei City did not provide these people with particularly high-ranking guards.

It was well known to the world: one of the few remaining dignities of the Central State Imperial Family.

Ji Yanzhong was here.

On the part of Zhenbei City, enough guards had been arranged for Ji Yanzhong, but no top martial artists. Ji Yanzhong did not care about this, as a benevolent elder who came to a Heroic Pass like Zhenbei City was only here to look for the Sword Master of Chi Xiao.

However, after Chi Xiao arrived in Zhenbei City, it remained as serene and silent as death.

Ji Yanzhong extended his hand and gently caressed the sword, sighing, "Oh Chi Xiao, Chi Xiao Sword, you have come to Zhenbei City, but why are you still unresponsive..." The Divine Weapon merely lay quietly and slept in the Sword Box, with no glimmer of light on the blade.

Ji Yanzhong sighed.

Stroking the sword, he pondered.

Today’s Zhenbei City seemed bustling with many affairs, with the Martial World warriors making lots of noise. The old Emperor’s uncle never cared about such matters, and having seen much chaos in the world, his thoughts inadvertently drifted to Yue Qianfeng.

It was said that the Heavy Armored Cavalry led by Yue Qianfeng were heading toward the land beyond the Gate.

From their trajectory, they were about to pass through here.

Ji Yanzhong remembered that when he was in Jiangzhou City, the Chi Xiao Sword seemed to have awakened once because of Yue Qianfeng. Now, the Chi Xiao Sword was in Zhenbei City, and Yue Qianfeng was coming here too. Could the world really be filled with such coincidences?

Ji Yanzhong mused to himself, "Could it be that the lad Yue Qianfeng..."

"Is indeed the Sword Master of Chi Xiao?"

The elder fell into silent contemplation.

At this moment, he suddenly sensed someone’s presence. Lifting his eyes slightly, the elder simply put his hand on the Sword Box and said kindly, "Visitors are guests, please come out."

From the shadows, footsteps were heard, steady and silent, as a young man emerged, dressed in a blue and white Taoist robe, a wooden pin holding his hair. With a faint smile on his face, he wore an antique long sword at his waist and looked composed.

Ji Yanzhong said, "Li Guanyi?"

He recognized this child.

A brave young man, whom he had taught the Red Dragon Power; a member of the Xue Family and the youngest Founding County Knight of Chen Country, who killed Tantai Xianming and fled from Guan Yi City, a fugitive wanted by Chen Country.

But looking at him, Ji Yanzhong simply said warmly, "It is Guan Yi."

"What are you doing in such a dangerous place as Zhenbei City?"

Li Guanyi said, "I have come to seek help from Senior Ji."

Ji Yanzhong asked in surprise, "You knew I was here?"

It was the intelligence from Changfeng Building.

The young man thought about it; indeed, intelligence networks were useful.

He said, "I just happened to know."

Ji Yanzhong nodded, looking at the youth’s appearance. As a generous elder, he had never liked Tantai Xianming, and Li Guanyi, a brave and spirited young man, was the type these elders favored, so he said kindly, "You must have had a hard time during this period."

He turned around, took a stack of delicate pastries from the table, and placed them on the table.

Then he poured a pot of tea and said, "Come, have something to eat."

Li Guanyi originally wanted to discuss serious matters.

Seeing such exquisite and lovely pastries, he thought of Shaking Light.

Hesitating, he still took out the pastries he had carried with him, which were packed from a teahouse.

Spreading them out, he packed away the delicate pastries Ji Yanzhong had brought over.

This made him feel slightly embarrassed, like a glutton, but Ji Yanzhong remained kind, saying, "How is it, if it’s not enough, I’ll have the cook make some wine and dishes. Although I’m not your teacher, I have taught you the Red Dragon Power, so stay here."

"I will take you away from here."

Ji Yanzhong assumed that Li Guanyi was desperate and had come to find him.

Li Guanyi said, "Thank you, senior, but that’s not why I am here to see you."

Ji Yanzhong was surprised: "Oh? What’s the matter then?"

Li Guanyi took out a letter, intelligence confirming the Yuwen Family’s collusion with the people of the Martial World. After reading it, Ji Yanzhong, the kind elder looked at Li Guanyi and said, "What do you need me to do?"

Li Guanyi bowed and said, "The Seal of Elder Xue has already arrived, but it has been detained by the City Lord."

"I will retrieve the Seal later, but with the City Lord’s betrayal, to have this Seal, it also requires someone with sufficient weight to possibly mobilize the troops in the city and eliminate the traitors to the country."

The youth spoke with calmness.

The night was clear, and moonlight fell, as Li Guanyi’s thoughts were crystal clear.

The City Lord, the four Jianghu Grandmasters, and even Yuwen Hua were not the focus.

The key was to command the troops!

Only by commanding the troops, it was possible to create a gap, allowing the Yue Family Army to leave successfully without a single loss.

After the Yue Family Army left, the continued internal inspections within Zhenbei City would allow Li Guanyi, Aunt, and Shaking Light to leave. The crux didn’t lie in one person or one event, but in the movement and changes of the troops in this Heroic City, a matter big enough to stir the winds of change in a nation.

Ji Yanzhong looked gently at the young man before him, faintly guessing his intentions, and said:

"How fortunate I am, an old man like me, to see a young hero like you."

"For you to come and find an old man like me, you are indeed unexpected."

Li Guanyi replied composedly:

"I have a teacher, who once said, we must unite all the forces that can be united."
