Elder Tianjun left with the remaining people, but Long Jiuye, who was seriously injured, stayed behind to stop the pursuers of Qihai Daomen.
Long Zhixin and several other members of the Long family burst into tears, wishing they could stay with Master Long Jiu to live and die together.
The others were silent, with sad looks on their faces. Long Jiuye was already seriously injured. Those who stayed to block the Taoist sect obviously had the intention of death.
Soon after, Tianjun Su Lao and the others met the Tang people who came to support them. It was not until this moment that they truly breathed a sigh of relief.
And this night finally passed.
What happened in Pinghai City shocked the entire Nine Kingdoms. No one expected that the people of Qihai would suddenly attack at this time and capture a large city by the sea so quickly.
Emperor Tang was furious and came to Pinghai City with his sword in hand, intending to kill all the people in Qihai with one sword.
As a result, they encountered the obstruction of the most powerful people in the Seven Seas. The two most powerful people fought fiercely at sea.
While Emperor Tang was being entangled by the most powerful men in the Seven Seas, people from the Taoist sect used Pinghai City as a springboard to continuously attack the territory of the Tang Kingdom.
The Tang State is one of the Three Kingdoms. It is powerful and has a profound foundation. Naturally, it is not an easy bone to crack.
Many masters from the Tang Kingdom went out to fight against the people of the Qihaidao Sect. The war swept many places in the Tang Kingdom.
As for the other two countries, Qin and Yuan were silent for the time being, and they did not send anyone to help Tang.
This is also a long-standing agreement between the three countries. Unless a war breaks out between the two countries, unless the war sweeps across the entire three countries, if an invasion occurs in a single country, it will be handled by one country itself, and the other two countries will not interfere.
If you intervene, there will inevitably be some unclear suspicions. In order to avoid suspicion, it is indeed very wise not to intervene at this time.
At the beginning, the Tang State could temporarily restrain the Daomen's troops and prevent them from continuing to invade the Tang State's territory.
But not long after, the troops from the Buddhist and Confucian sects also arrived. It was not until this moment that the army of the Seven Seas was truly assembled and invaded the Tang Kingdom from all sides.
In order to better cope with this war, the Tang royal family moved ordinary people to safe places to avoid unnecessary casualties.
On the tenth day after the Pinghai City Rebellion, all sixteen coastal cities of the Tang Kingdom were controlled by the troops of the Three Sects of the Seven Seas.
After the Three Sects of the Seven Seas took control of the sixteen coastal cities, it opened up a big gap in the Nine Kingdoms, and they could continuously send people from the Seven Seas to join the war.
However, the Three Sects of the Seven Seas have also encountered considerable trouble. Under the call of the Tang royal family, all the sects, large and small, in the Tang Kingdom have gathered together and formed a coalition under the control of the royal family to jointly fight against the Three Sects of the Seven Seas.
The sect forces that can take root in the Tang Kingdom basically have two skills. No matter how bad they are, they can always come up with one or two strong ones who are not weak.
The coalition forces composed of all the sect forces were quite powerful, and with the help of many experts from the royal family, it was difficult for the Seven Seas and the Three Sects to occupy more territory of the Tang State. The Tang State even launched a counterattack and recaptured two coastal cities.
However, with the continuous arrival of people from the Seven Seas, the pressure on Tang State is increasing, and the situation is precarious.
If Emperor Tang could take action, then these people from the Seven Seas and Three Religions would naturally not be afraid and could wipe them out with a wave of his hand.
But there are also top experts in Qihai, and it is impossible for Emperor Tang to deal with the troops of the three religions in Qihai.
Tang Dynasty, Jianchi Sect.
If we were to say which country had the most kendo sects in the entire Nine Kingdoms, it would undoubtedly be the Tang Kingdom.
The first emperor of the Tang Dynasty started his career by slaying a dragon with a sword and established the Tang Dynasty for thousands of years. Most people in the royal family used swords as weapons, and few people knew how to use other weapons.
The royal family of the Tang Kingdom also vigorously supported those swordsmanship sects, so the number of swordsmanship sects in the Tang Kingdom was the largest in the entire Nine Kingdoms.
Over the years, the Tang Kingdom has produced countless masters of swordsmanship. Some have been wielding swords for decades, while others have been unknown for most of their lives, just to use the most amazing sword.
The Jianchi Sect was a very inconspicuous sect among the many kendo sects in the Tang Dynasty. Even though the royal family of the Tang Dynasty supported various kendo sects, the Jianchi Sect was deteriorating and its talents were withering.
On this day, within the declining sect of Jianchi Sect, the old sect leader sent out all the dozens of disciples he had, whether they were going to seek refuge in other countries or joining the Tang coalition to fight against the Three Religions of the Seven Seas. , the old sect master didn’t stop it.
After dozens of disciples kowtowed, they all walked down the mountain gate with swords in hand and shed tears. None of them went to seek refuge in other countries. They all rushed to the front line where the war was fiercest.
After all the disciples left, the old master of Jianchi Sect let out a long sigh, looked up at the sky, and walked to the dry pond named Jianchi.
The reason why the Sword Pond Sect is called the Sword Pond Sect is precisely because of this sword pond. Unfortunately, after thousands of years, the sword pond that was originally filled with swords has dried up to the bottom and is in dilapidated condition.
"Sealing the sword for a lifetime, it seems that before death, I still have to take one more sword before I am willing to accept it." The old sect leader murmured to himself as he looked at the dried up sword pool.
Suddenly, a young man in plain white clothes walked over from behind. When he saw the old sect leader standing by the sword pond, the young man looked sad.
"Grandpa, do you still want to hold the sword?" The young man didn't have any internal energy fluctuations in his body. He seemed to be a very ordinary person.
The old sect leader turned his head, looked at the young man, his eyes were soft, and said with a smile: "It won't work if you don't take it. The Tang State is in trouble. If I die, I can't see it, but I'm still alive. If I don't do something, , I can’t close my eyes even if I die.”
The young man pursed his lips and knelt on the ground silently: "But I can't bear to leave grandpa."
The old sect leader smiled, walked up to the young man, and touched his head. His old and muddy eyes were full of reluctance and love.
"Twenty-six years ago, I picked you up from the snow and raised you, but I didn't teach you any martial arts. Did you ever blame me?" the old sect leader said.
The young man shook his head repeatedly: "I have never complained about grandpa. Xuesheng only hopes that he can always serve grandpa."
The old sect leader smiled, reached out and took out something, and handed it to the young man.
"Take it, you will be the sect leader of this Jianchi Sect in the future. Don't let the sect that grandpa and I have worked so hard to support fall." The old sect leader said.
The young man named Xuesheng was holding the sect leader's token, but his face was filled with tears. He bit his lips and tried his best not to cry.
The old sect leader also quietly wiped away a trace of tears, and then flew into the sky in one leap.
"Here comes the sword!!!"
The peerless sword light soared into the sky from the withered sword pool.
