I can see the hidden conditions of martial arts

Chapter 106 Overseas Islands Invasion, Zhou Lin Sets Off

[Thunder Finger] [Shocking Dragon Sword Technique]

These are the two martial arts of Taoist Tongtian, and Liu Yuan will naturally know them. Now that he has saved the other party, he will have to face Taoist Tongtian sooner or later. As the saying goes, know yourself and the enemy, and you will never be in danger in a hundred battles. It is just right to get familiar with these two martial arts.

When he heard that Ling Feng wanted these two special skills, Liu Yuan hesitated.

But he didn't hesitate for too long. He found paper and pen, wrote out the two secrets, and handed them to Ling Feng. Since the other party was on their side, he naturally hoped that the other party would have a greater chance of winning against Taoist Tongtian in the future. .

Although it is somewhat unethical to reveal the master's martial arts.

But in order to win the party struggle, he didn't care much.

【Thunder Finger】

[Level: Land Quality]

[Conditions for perfection: [-]: Innate late-stage cultivation!Two: The essence of thunder attribute!Three: Refining the essence of thunder attributes in a thunderstorm! 】

[Shocking Dragon Sword Technique]

[Level: Land Quality]

[Conditions for perfection: [-]: Innate late-stage cultivation!Two: One share of dragon’s inner yuan!Three: Concentrate your concentration and swing your sword ten thousand times! 】

Ling Feng glanced at the two martial arts. The perfect conditions were not difficult for him. The slightly more difficult thing was to find the essence of thunder attribute.

He could have asked Liu Ruomei to help him find it.

After all, the other party's business now covers all counties, and the intelligence network is very strong.

After seeing off Liu Yuan and Zhou Lin, Ling Feng came to the courtyard, took out a high-grade sword, and began to swing the sword with concentration.

This reminded him of the days when he went to the top of the mountain to swing his sword in Baiyun Sect day and night, no matter it was raining, raining or snowing, before he entered the path of martial arts.

However, his current [Piaomiao Wenxian Sword Art] has been perfected.

I didn't expect that I would have the opportunity to relive those years.

time flies.

In a blink of an eye, three days passed.

In Tianyi Palace.

Taoist Tongtian is sitting cross-legged and meditating, with white Qi floating above his head. It looks amazing, and his Qi cultivation is obviously extremely powerful.

At this time, there was a knock on the door.

He opened his eyes, dispersed his energy, and said calmly: "Come in."

A man in black walked in and bowed respectfully to Taoist Tongtian. The other person was the dead bodyguard secretly trained by Taoist Tongtian.

There is no name, just a simple code name.

His name is... Xiao.

"National Master, I saw Liu Yuan."

"What? Are you sure you read it right?"

Taoist Tongtian was a little stunned.

"It can't be wrong. I saw him going in and out of the prince's palace with the second prince. Moreover, the aura on his body is rich and strong, which is extraordinary and innate. There are not many people with this level of cultivation in the Great Zhou Dynasty." Xiao said calmly. .

"He is still alive despite my two palms?! Ling Feng... what method did he use to save him? This person is really unfathomable."

Taoist Tongtian frowned, and his fear of Ling Feng became even higher.

Then he asked: "Have you finished what I told you to do?"

"The summons has been sent overseas."

"Well, good." Taoist Tongtian nodded slightly, "The stalemate between Da Zhou and the overseas islands has been going on for so long, and now it is time to come to an end."

A sneer appeared on his lips.

…………

three days later.

A piece of news reaches the palace.

A large number of warships suddenly emerged from the overseas islands and were attacking the coast of the Great Zhou Dynasty!
Among them, Donghai County is the first to bear the brunt. Several cities have been captured. The people along the coast have been displaced. Tens of thousands of refugees are migrating to the interior of Dazhou.

After the news came, Emperor Zhou was furious.

The officials were frightened.

"Although the Overseas Islands have had friction with the Zhou Dynasty over the years, there has never been such a large-scale war, and they have never occupied a city along the coast. Now they not only went ashore, but also occupied four cities at once! The war has gradually spread to the entire East China Sea. The county’s trend is too fast.”

"The overseas islands have clearly been planned for a long time!"

"Yes, being able to achieve this step in such a short period of time is definitely not something that can be achieved overnight. People on the front line have said that there are hundreds of warships in the overseas archipelago, and they have obviously been secretly built for a long time."

"Overseas Islands, so ambitious!"

In the court, the ministers discussed one after another and denounced the rebellion in the overseas islands.

After hearing what everyone said, Emperor Zhou's face became more and more gloomy, "Now is not the time to rebuke the overseas islands, but to think about how to solve the problem first. The overseas islands have offended me, the Zhou Dynasty, who of you is willing to lead the attack!"

"The final general is willing to go!"

A military commander with a resolute face stood up.

"Oh, I wonder if General Li has any good ideas?"

"Back to your majesty, the overseas islands live on the sea all year round and are good at water warfare. But once they reach land, that is my great strength. Please give your majesty to the last [-] elite soldiers. Within ten days, we will be able to recapture the city and conquer the overseas islands. People from the islands, hurry back to the sea!" General Li said confidently.

After hearing his words, Emperor Zhou Longyan was delighted, "Okay, I will give you [-] elite soldiers and wait for your triumphant return in the capital!"

"Your Majesty, please relax."

General Li laughed, and then left to order troops.

Among the ministers, no one knew who it was, but he said, "It seems that what the Imperial Preceptor said is true. The Great Zhou Dynasty has really launched an army to cause disaster."

There was a strange color on the faces of the ministers.

They all thought about Tongtiantai.

When Emperor Zhou heard this, he also showed hesitation, "Did I really do something wrong? Tongtiantai, do you really want to do it as quickly as possible?"

He doesn't understand.

I was thinking about the people's livelihood, so why would I start a mutiny?
"Father, I think what the Imperial Master said before is reasonable. This matter of connecting the Tiantai cannot be delayed. I would also like to ask my father to prepare a decree to speed up the progress and make sure it is completed within one year." At this time, Da Prince Zhou Yu stood up and said.

Zhou Lin was not happy, "It will be completed within a year? Brother Wang, is it possible that he wants to exhaust the people to death? Now that the war has just started, there will be a lot of construction work. When the people's resentment boils over, it will only make the court lose the support of the people."

"Humph, it was because the Tongtian Tower was not built that there was a mutiny. Only by building the Tongtian Tower and stabilizing the national destiny can we achieve peace once and for all."

"Nonsense, how can the fate of our country in the Great Zhou Dynasty be determined by a tower to the sky?"

The two princes were arguing endlessly and seemed to be quarreling again.

And Emperor Zhou angrily shouted, "That's enough."

The crowd fell silent for a while.

"We will discuss the matter of Tongtiantai after General Li returns in triumph."

After Emperor Zhou finished speaking, he drove away.

News of the invasion of overseas islands also reached Ling Feng's ears.

After knowing this, he immediately thought of Tanshan Tanhua Sect in Donghai County, and he didn't know if the other party was okay.

He thought for a while, left the palace, came to the capital, and looked for Liu Ruomei.

Ask the other person to help you find out the information.

Then he did not return to the palace, and simply stayed temporarily at Liu Ruomei's place. He was not idle while inquiring about the news.

Continue to practice martial arts.

Among them, he has already satisfied the first of the three conditions of [Shocking Dragon Sword Technique], and the third, leaving only the second.

One portion of Jiaolong Neidan.

In the room, Ling Feng took out a portion of the extremely cold Jiaolong Neidan that exuded chilly air, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

"Haha, I didn't expect it to come in handy here."

This dragon inner elixir is exactly the inner elixir he obtained by killing the dragon in Qingjiang.

In the past, he used this inner elixir to practice [Yin Yang One Qi Jue], but he only used part of it, leaving more than half of it.

It has been kept in the sapphire ring by him.

With a thought in his mind, he began to refine the dragon's inner elixir.

soon.

The inner elixir shrank rapidly and was refined one by one by him. Finally, the entire inner elixir completely disappeared, and the [Shocking Dragon Sword Art] officially entered the state of perfection.

The subtleties of this sword art came to mind one by one.

However, although the sword technique has been perfected, there is no one to practice it with.

He doesn't yet know the specific power of this sword technique.

a few days later.

Liu Ruomei has already found out almost all the news about Donghai County.

"Sir, the current situation in Donghai County is not optimistic. General Li led [-] elite troops, plus Donghai County garrison soldiers, to attack Jiangyuan City the day before yesterday, but failed. Not only that, General Li died in battle, and his head was Cut it down and hang it on the city gate, causing tens of thousands of elite soldiers to become morally disorganized and return in defeat."

Liu Ruomei said eloquently.

Hearing this, Ling Feng narrowed his eyes slightly, "I have seen General Li's strength. He is a master close to the late stage of Xiantian. He was actually beheaded in front of the battle. It seems that many masters were dispatched in the overseas islands this time."

"I heard that there was only one person who beheaded General Li. The man was holding a scimitar. Everyone saw him fighting with General Li for more than ten rounds. Then the scimitar in his hand flashed with dazzling light, and General Li was beheaded. ”

"What masters have come to the overseas islands?"

"The list of masters that have been heard is basically here, but it is estimated that there are still masters who have not taken action and are still hiding."

Liu Ruomei took out a list.

Ling Feng took it over and looked at it. There were seven people in total.

Each one is innate.

The strongest one among them was the warrior who killed General Li and held a scimitar. The opponent's name was Hai Feihu. He looked only 50 years old, but his cultivation had reached the late stage of innateness and his sword skills were superb.Several innates including General Li have been killed.

"It's interesting, but if it's just these people, the overseas islands won't last long." Ling Feng said lightly.

After staying in the palace for so many years, he knows the inside story of the palace.

Leaving aside Taoist Tongtian, there are as many as five or six Xiantian late-stage masters in the palace, including Liu Yuan, a half-step master.

Not to mention the palace.

In the Jianghu, there is still the Grandmaster Li Chenyuan who is in charge. As long as the opponent takes action, the overseas archipelago can only send dozens of innates to besiege the opponent at one go.

Otherwise you will be defeated sooner or later.

Of course, these are all based on the situation that there are no masters overseas.

However, the overseas islands are coming fiercely this time, will there be no grandmaster?

Back to the palace.

Ling Feng heard the news that the second prince Zhou Lin was going to personally lead his troops to conquer the overseas islands and regain the lost territory!
It is said that Emperor Zhou was furious when news of General Li's death was returned to the palace.

The eldest prince was acting strangely on the sidelines.

It was said that the second prince once said that if there was a mutiny, he would personally lead the troops there, but now that the mutiny has come, why is he indifferent?

The second prince immediately stated that he would lead his troops to conquer the overseas islands.

Back at Tianxin Palace, Ling Feng happened to see Liu Yuan coming to him to say goodbye, apparently going to Donghai County with Zhou Lin.

"This expedition to the overseas islands is very dangerous, but it is also a rare opportunity. If successful, the second prince's prestige in the court will be greatly enhanced. With this military exploit, he will surpass the first prince!"

"This battle is very crucial, I have to go with you."

As he said that, he looked at Ling Feng expectantly.

Apparently, they hope Ling Feng can go together.

But Ling Feng was indifferent and nodded slightly.

"Then I wish you all the best of luck."

Liu Yuan was a little disappointed, "Won't Ling worship together?"

"Do you have His Majesty's wishes?"

"This...not really."

"That's right. Without His Majesty's will, how can I go with you? If you rashly propose to accompany me, what do you want Your Majesty to think? I feel that I, the Grand Master, have already sided with the Second Prince."

Ling Feng said lightly.

Liu Yuan also felt that it made sense, and then left.

Not long after he left, Ling Feng faintly heard the faint sound of a piano coming from the direction of Leng Palace, with a touch of sadness in the sound.

It's like a mother is worried about her son who is about to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy.

Ling Feng knew that Concubine Liu Guifei should know about the second prince's expedition.

Can be sudden.

The sound is interrupted.

His consciousness stirred and spread.

I saw Emperor Zhou visiting Leng Palace, and Concubine Liu was holding Qin and crying to her. Emperor Zhou looked pitiful and helpless.

Ling Feng's consciousness can see objects, but cannot hear sounds.

But fortunately, he has read quite a lot over the years.

Learned a lot of skills.

Among them...lip reading.

"Your Majesty, you are so cruel. My prince has just finished patrolling all the counties for you. He has worked so hard that he has lost weight. He has not rested for a long time since he came back. You asked him to conquer the overseas islands. I have heard about it. , are the overseas islands easy to mess with? Even General Lee is dead, if he has any shortcomings...

Well, then I won’t live either.

The master is gone, and if the emperor is gone too, there will be no point in my life. "

Concubine Liu's tears kept falling.

Emperor Zhou repeatedly comforted him, "I also tried to persuade Lin'er, but he insisted on going. I thought that since he has Liu Gongfeng following him, it shouldn't be a big deal."

"No matter how powerful Liu Gongfeng is, he is only one person, but there are many masters in the overseas islands, and they are fighting on the battlefield. How can Liu Gongfeng care for the emperor wholeheartedly? Who knows what will happen if he is slightly distracted?

No, Your Majesty, I want to leave the palace.

I also want to go to Donghai County with Huang'er. Even if my cultivation is not as good as Liu Chongfeng's, I am still talented and can help. "

Concubine Liu said, preparing to pack her things and leave the palace.

But Emperor Zhou shouted with a cold face, "Nonsense, you are the concubine of a widower, how can you go to the battlefield in person? Isn't this a joke?"

"I don't care. At worst, you will divorce me and expel me from the palace."

"Okay, okay, stop making trouble. I will make arrangements for Lin'er's matter." Emperor Zhou glanced at the direction of Tianxin Palace and made up his mind.

Ling Feng noticed Emperor Zhou's eyes, thoughtful.

Shortly after.

Emperor Zhou left Leng Palace and went straight to Tianxin Palace.

He did not exchange pleasantries and said straight to the point: "The main reason I came to see Ling Chongfeng this time is to give Ling Chongfang a task."

"Since I serve the imperial court, if the imperial court needs it, I should take action. Your Majesty, please tell me." Ling Feng said with a slight smile.

"I would like to ask Ling Gongfeng to go to Donghai County and secretly protect the second prince."

"In the dark?"

"Yes, it must not be known to outsiders. There is no purpose for this mission. If the sacrifice is discovered, it cannot be said that I sent you there."

Ling Feng thought for a moment and understood what Emperor Zhou meant.

The current situation of the party struggle is unclear, and Emperor Zhou has no clear preference for which side. If word spreads that he sent a master to help Zhou Lin, it will definitely cause speculation among interested people, wondering whether he is partial to Zhou Lin.

In order to prevent this situation, Ling Feng was asked to go secretly.

But no matter what, Emperor Zhou still asked him to help Zhou Lin.

So in the other person's heart, does he prefer Zhou Lin?

Ling Feng was thoughtful, but he was not stupid enough to ask. After all, his current personality was that of a master who was devoted to martial arts and not involved in party strife.

"Understood."

Ling Feng nodded slightly and accepted the task.

Immediately afterwards, he cleaned up and left the palace.

Zhou Lin led his troops to leave.

He followed up with his hind legs.

In the entire palace, except for the Emperor Zhou and the chief eunuch, no one else knew about it.

…………

Donghai County.

At this time, Donghai County has become the most dangerous place in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty.

War broke out frequently.

After the soldiers from the overseas islands came ashore, they burned, killed and looted, just like pirates. They also occupied several cities and were extremely arrogant.

The second prince Zhou Lin led his troops to Donghai County. When he saw the displaced refugees, he was filled with indignation.

Then, he joined the remaining soldiers and horses led by Donghai County Governor.

Before the arrival of the second prince, the governor of Donghai County could only take the remaining soldiers and horses to guard the main city of Donghai County, staying behind closed doors.

Relying on the tall city walls and sufficient armaments of the main city of Donghai Princess, they have been able to survive until today, but if they don't counterattack, they will soon be unable to hold on.

But counterattack is not easy.

"Soldiers from the Overseas Islands occupy three cities: Jiangyuan, Luoshui, and Qinglin. These three cities are connected by important roads, making travel extremely convenient. Once one of the cities is attacked, the other two cities can quickly provide support.

Not only that, behind the three cities is the coast!There are hundreds of overseas warships docked there. If something goes wrong, they can quickly evacuate and return to the sea without suffering any losses at all.

On the contrary, we have experienced their raging during this period, and our vitality has been severely damaged. We can only swallow this breath in vain. Once the soldiers and horses of the imperial court retreat, they will most likely come back again. "The governor of Donghai County said eloquently.

Hearing this, Zhou Lin frowned and said: "So, in order to prevent the disaster on the islands, we not only have to recapture the city, but also find ways to destroy their warships, and even annihilate the people of the islands...!!"

"Exactly."

"It seems the situation is more serious than imagined."

suddenly.

Zhou Lin looked at the map and noticed that there was a mountain behind the three cities. He asked curiously: "What is this mountain like?"

"Back to Your Highness, this is Tan Mountain. On top of Tan Mountain is the first sect in Donghai County, Tan Hua Sect." said the governor of Donghai County.

"What are they doing now?"

"Tanhua Sect was attacked by the people of the Islands before and lost a lot of people. I don't know what the specific situation is now."

Donghai County Sheriff said helplessly.

"This Tanshan Mountain is located behind Sancheng. If the people of the Islands want to evacuate and return to the coast, they will inevitably pass through Tanshan Mountain. If at that time, someone in Tanshan Mountain can block their retreat from behind and cooperate with us inside and outside, they can deal with it. The Islanders formed a pincer attack and wiped them out!

In this way, not only can the mutiny in the archipelago be solved, but their warships can also be saved without damaging them, and hundreds of warships can be gained for nothing! "

Zhou Lin's eyes lit up, "Send someone to Tanshan Mountain to inquire about the situation and see if there are still many people from the Tanhua Sect alive."

"Your Highness, there is no rush to inquire about the situation of Tanhua Sect. Rather than this, we must first think about how to defeat the Islanders. They have many masters. If we cannot defeat them, let alone attack them from a flank."

Sheriff Donghai said.

"Oh, master? I was just thinking about taking a moment!"

Liu Yuan smiled faintly and was eager to try.

Do you really think that he is called the number one innate in the Great Zhou Dynasty for nothing?
