From the time Zhao Changhe disguised himself and entered the Lu family's forbidden area to the time the ancient sword soared into the sky, it sounded very grand, but in fact it did not take very long, only about the time of an incense stick.
At about the same time when Zhao Changhe and Sisi arrived at the forbidden area and met the old man from the Lu family, the atmosphere in front of the Tang family's door finally became heated.
Tang Wangsheng naturally prevented others from entering the Tang family, but under the constant provocation of the Lu family and the lurking Maitreya believers, the major families and other people who did not know the truth became more and more convinced that there was something fishy about the Tang family that prevented everyone from entering.
In fact, if you put yourself in their shoes, no one would allow thousands of people to rush into their home!
But at this moment, it is not clear.
Tang Wangsheng's words were useless, so he finally started to threaten: "Everyone, please look carefully at where we are! This is the Tang family. Do you want to rebel?"
I have to say that this matter is not handled well, and I still don't realize what kind of situation I am in. Once these harsh words came out, it was over. People became even more excited. Under the leadership of the Lu family, they began to attack the gate of the Tang family. Some people even used Qinggong to rush directly to the top of the wall.
Tang Wangsheng was furious: "Stop them!"
After such a long stalemate, the Tang family and the guards were well prepared and quickly rushed forward. Naturally, a fierce battle broke out in front of the Tang family's gate.
The situation is completely messed up.
The Tang family is indeed the strongest family in Gusu, with a profound foundation. Without mentioning the Tang family members themselves, the family has recruited countless masters and talents. At most, each family can still fight back and forth at the door.
But when Tang Wangsheng saw this chaotic scene, he finally began to feel uneasy.
What if we hold on? How do we end it
“Whoosh!”
A sword came from the side, and it was Lu Yuanting, the head of the Lu family, who went straight to Tang Wangsheng and stabbed him with a sword.
Tang Wangsheng was furious: "Catch you, the thief, and the matter will be over!"
Lu Yuanting just sneered.
The two family heads quickly engaged in a fight.
Both of them are at the ninth level of the Xuanguan realm and are not on the human list. They are equally matched. Tang Wangsheng originally thought that he was slightly stronger than Lu Yuanting, but as the fight went on he felt something was wrong.
Lu Yuanting's level was indeed not very special. The strange thing was that the battle situation around him was inexplicably like someone would suddenly chop at him with a knife, and after a while someone would stumble towards him and stab him with a sword, and after a few more moves, one of his own people would be hit by him.
But they were all directed at him, and had no effect on his opponent Lu Yuanting at all. It was as if someone was constantly taking sides, but when he tried to find out what the problem was, he couldn't find it.
There were Maitreya followers mixed in with the troublemakers, but Tang Wangsheng was unaware of them from beginning to end.
Under the secret efforts of the Maitreya believers, the guards of the Tang family began to retreat step by step without noticing. After a while, the gate was lost and was forcibly blasted open, and countless people rushed in.
Tang Wangsheng secretly cried out that something was wrong and shouted sternly, "Protect the family in the backyard!"
As a result, no one paid any attention to the so-called family members, and everyone rushed to Tiger Hill at the back of the mountain first.
Lu Yuanting wanted to create the illusion that the evil spirit of the Tang family had infected Gusu, inciting others to overthrow the Tang family and then cooperate with the Maitreya sect to change the world. Of course, he would not give himself an excuse to deal with any family members. His goal has always been clear, which is to reach the Tiger Hill Sword Pond and draw out the evil spirit inside.
Tang Wangsheng had no idea of all this. He led the Tang family's forces, sweating profusely, fighting and retreating, gradually retreating to Tiger Hill and guarding the Thousand Man Stone.
Lu Yuanting stopped everyone and shouted, "Brother Tang! We came here only to verify the evil of Tiger Hill, not to deal with your Tang family. Do you understand now?"
Tang Wang laughed in anger: "Then I want to ask you, do you understand what is going on now? There is no evil spirit in the Tiger Hill Sword Pond!"
"That may not be the case!" Lu Yuanting waved his hand coldly: "Bring Shaoxiong here!"
Tang Wangsheng was stunned when he saw someone in the distance leading Lu Shaoxiong and the others forward. Lu Shaoxiong, who had been mad and irrational, no longer looked crazy, but his expression was still listless and there was still a murderous aura on his body, as if he had been temporarily suppressed.
Tang Wangsheng had a bad feeling in his heart.
It seems that the Lu family came well prepared. Could it be that Lu Shaoxiong can really trigger some resonance here
Lu Yuanting said: "Brother Tang, if you have nothing to hide, would you dare to let me go to the sword pond and give it a try?"
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Tang Wangsheng instinctively felt that something was wrong, but he could not find any reason to stop it, so he could only ask, "If there is no problem, how do you plan to end it?"
Lu Yuanting sneered: "Lu, pay with your head!"
Tang Wangsheng took a deep breath and had nothing to say. He could only watch Lu Shaoxiong walk to the edge of the sword pond. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Lu Shaoxiong walked to the edge of the sword pond, squatted down a little weakly, stretched out his hand and gently stroked the water, as if to measure the water temperature, and then slowly went into the water, going deeper and deeper, and slowly only his head was exposed outside the water.
People almost held their breath, watching the changes in the pool water.
After waiting for a while, it seemed nothing.
Tang Wangsheng was just showing a look of joy when he heard the crowd suddenly shouting, "It's moving! The water in the pond is moving!"
Tang Wangsheng looked over in shock, and sure enough, the water in the pool began to shake, creating ripples as if there was wind blowing. But in fact, it was a very quiet night with no wind, not even a person's hair was blown.
How does the water move
Sensing carefully, there seemed to be a very slight tremor coming from below, as if the aftermath of an earthquake in a very distant place had reached this place.
If there were anyone here who had experience at the Ancient Sword Lake, they would know that there was a different dimension superimposed here that was in turmoil.
But most people didn't know this, not even Tang Wangsheng himself, and he was at a loss for a moment when faced with this inexplicable tremor. Even though no one sensed any evil spirit, everyone looked at Tang Wangsheng with doubts.
The reason is actually very simple:
The sword energy that remained in Lu Shaoxiong's body, which had caused Longque to be excited at the beginning, could naturally also cause resonance with the sword energy of the same origin as it, as if it had found a clone across the world, "finally seeing the outside world", so the sword energy below began to gather, and was ready to move outward.
This location corresponds to the location of the main mausoleum. According to the old legend, "Below the Sword Pool is the Sword Emperor's Mausoleum" is the truth. The sword energy gathered below at this time is the sword energy at the entrance of the main mausoleum that Zhao Changhe saw.
When Lu Shaoxiong brought the sword energy in his body to the sword pool above, it triggered the sword energy below to respond, and the space shook slightly. This was the signal for an appointment with the old man of the Lu family.
Just the sword energy echoing may not be enough, and it may not be able to trigger the sword energy to rush up. But if someone offends the mausoleum at this time, causing the evil energy to sweep and gather, will this condensed evil energy just kill the offender and then dissipate? After the evil energy takes shape, it is not so easy to dissipate. It will only rage and continue to tear apart all the lives it sees!
But isolated by space, what kind of life can it "see"
Of course, it was the object above that was responding to him. There were lives all around him! Originally, it was equivalent to having a clone outside. Now, if he rushed over, he would "join" it.
It’s a very simple theory, and it’s also the only way the Lu family could think of to break through this space. After Lu Shaoxiong was accidentally hit by a sword energy, the Lu family began to plan for this moment.
They had never considered the possibility of the Sword Emperor's revival, nor had they thought about what would happen if the evil spirit came out and wreaked havoc in Gusu.
They just wanted to break through this space and naturally put all the consequences on the Tang family, thus fulfilling the Lu family's century-old wish.
Any subsequent matters can be handled by Maitreya on the Earth List!
But while everyone was questioning, Tang Wangsheng was stunned, and Lu Yuanting was ecstatic, more than ten breaths passed and the water in the pool was still just swaying, and nothing happened.
Naturally, Zhao Changhe was fighting fiercely with the old man at this time, interrupting the process.
Lu Shaoxiong was sweating profusely in the water, wishing he could dig out the sword energy in his body, but the water in the pool was still swaying.
Lu Yuanting's joy froze on his face. What was going on? We had tested it many times before at the entrance. The sword energy would indeed gather and rush out because of the external sword energy. Could it be that the same thing was not true at the exit
Or did something go wrong with our ancestors down there
While he was hesitating, he suddenly heard shouting and killing in the distance, as if there were thousands of soldiers fighting outside, and flames shot up into the sky.
Tang Wangsheng suddenly ordered his nephews and nephews: "Go and see what happened."
There was no need for anyone around to check. Soon, the guards outside the Tang family came running in to report: "Master, the young master led the army into the city and found Maitreya believers ready to go near our city gate. They seemed to be waiting for an opportunity to seize the city in one fell swoop. After being discovered by the young master in advance, the army and the Maitreya believers started fighting... Then Maitreya believers rose up everywhere in the city, seizing gates everywhere. Even Master Pu Xin from Jingxin Hall turned out to be a Maitreya believer..."
Tang Wangsheng stared at Lu Yuanting fiercely: "Is this the reason why you gathered together to frame my Tang family today! You want to remove this tough guy from my Tang family so that you can cooperate with the Maitreya Sect to control Gusu, right?"
Lu Yuanting was stunned. How could things turn out like this
Not only was there no movement in the water of the pond, but how could Tang Buqi, the famously incompetent man of the Tang family, have led his troops into the city in advance and discovered traces of the Maitreya Sect
At this moment, an extremely fat figure flew over under the moon, laughing wildly: "The evil spirit rising to the sky, of course it was caused by the Tang family!"
Maitreya religion, leader Maitreya!
As he spoke, Maitreya suddenly threw something out of his hand and accurately smashed it into the pool before anyone could stop him.
The water in the pool roared wildly, and the evil spirit finally overflowed. In front of the main mausoleum gate below, the old man of the Lu family had just died, and the evil spirit swept wildly, and the shape of an ancient sword began to rise into the sky.
Maitreya laughed loudly, "The Tang family brought evil to the city and Maitreya saved all living beings. What else is there to doubt?"
A pool of spring water appeared under the moon, and the clouds seemed to carry the sigh of a fairy: "If you really suppress the whole scene, perhaps this rhetoric will spread all over Jiangnan in the future... But unfortunately, although I am a little late, I finally caught up."
