As Ning Changge spoke, the Seven Heroes of Wudang immediately sensed even more things that were off.
Mo Shenggu exclaimed:
“That’s right! Thinking about it now, the Third Prince’s actions seemed deliberately exposed to us.”
“And the Mongol Yuan army arrived very quickly, almost as if they were prepared beforehand.”
One by one, they pointed out the inconsistencies. Previously, they had been preoccupied with rushing back to Wudang to inform Ning Changge and Zhang Sanfeng, feeling responsible for the trouble they had caused, without thinking things through.
But now, with this new perspective…
Song Yuanqiao and the others’ eyes widened, speaking in unison:
“The Mongol Yuan deliberately framed Wudang! Using the Third Prince as an excuse, they have a ‘just cause’ to attack us. It’s often said that even a tiger doesn’t eat its cubs, but the Great Khan of Mongol Yuan is willing to sacrifice his own son – truly ruthless!”
Everyone understood. This was clearly a scheme orchestrated by the Mongol Yuan, using Wudang’s sense of righteousness against them.
Song Yuanqiao and the others looked anxiously at Zhang Sanfeng and Ning Changge.
During their time in the Sui Dynasty, they had witnessed numerous military campaigns, especially the might of the Mongol Yuan’s Heavenly Wolf Army, each soldier as ferocious as a wolf. “Ewwwww—” Clau makes the sound of a wolf.
The relationship between Wudang and the Mongol Yuan was not good. During the first Dragon Slaying Assembly, a Secret Sect Divine Monk had died at Ning Changge’s hands, indirectly disrupting the Mongol Yuan’s plans in the Great Ming Dynasty. Later, there was Jinlun and the black-robed Land Immortal.
Several Mongol Yuan experts had fallen at Wudang.
Thus, seizing the immortal methods by force was the Mongol Yuan’s only option.
After a quick divination, Ning Changge understood the situation.
Sensing everyone’s apprehension, he smiled faintly:
“Everything remains as before. Wudang’s true strength has yet to be revealed to the world.”
Hearing these composed words, everyone was taken aback. They had expected Ning Changge to have a countermeasure but were surprised by his nonchalance.
Zhang Sanfeng was momentarily stunned.
Suddenly, he recalled the gift Ning Changge had given him on his centenary celebration last year:
The Circumventing Stars Formation Sword Array!
The others quickly remembered this as well.
Song Yuanqiao’s face lit up with excitement:
“Changge, are you truly confident?”
Ning Changge nodded with a smile:
“Don’t worry. Since the Mongol Yuan wants to come, they’ll be a perfect example. We can kill the chicken to scare the monkey”. Clau makes an intense voice and sound, representing those animal killings.
His words were calm, yet filled with an invincible aura.
Huang Shang and the others were taken aback. Ning Changge rarely displayed such dominance; most of the time, he defeated his enemies with a casual wave.
“Kill the chicken to scare to monkey.”
But considering that their opponent was the Mongol Yuan Dynasty, they knew what level of confidence those words held.
Everyone’s expectations rose.
They hadn’t seen Ning Changge in action for a year and had no idea what level he had reached. Their initial panic gradually subsided. Ning Changge’s confidence and calmness subtly influenced them. With Ning Changge at the helm and the numerous Land Immortal-level fighters at Wudang, they didn’t believe the Mongol Yuan could do much!
Ning Changge smiled faintly and returned to the Scripture Pavilion.
“Prepare yourselves. The Mongol Yuan army will likely arrive soon.”
He wasn’t feigning composure.
Now that he had reached late-stage Foundation Establishment, he was unafraid even if he faced the army alone. Moreover, with Wudang’s resources backing him, he was even less concerned. During the previous Dao-Buddhist battle, many were coveting Wudang. Some Land Immortals even tried to force their way up the mountain, only to be effortlessly dealt with by Ning Changge.
He knew who was behind those attempts.
Now that his cultivation had advanced further, it was time to settle the score.
Everyone’s hearts tightened, and they began preparing.
The gates of Wudang Mountain sealed shut, and disciples began bustling with activity.
Various factions were shaken by the news of the Seven Heroes of Wudang killing the Mongol Yuan’s Third Prince. The events that transpired in the Sui Dynasty were no secret; many were aware of them.
In the Mongol Yuan’s imperial capital…
The atmosphere was heavy. Temujin, like an enraged lion, exuded a fierce aura. He roared: Clau making a “RAAAAAWR!!” sound.
“Audacious Wudang! Daring to kill a prince of my Mongol Yuan! If this vengeance is not exacted, how will my Mongol Yuan maintain its standing in the Nine Provinces? How can we become the rulers of all?!”
“National Preceptor, you will be fully in charge of this matter. The million-strong Heavenly Wolf Army is at your disposal. I want to see Wudang reduced to ashes!”
His face was contorted with fury, but deep within his eyes, there was an unsettling calmness, depth. “Mmm…” Clau makes a sound of intrigue.
All the officials were filled with apprehension.
The Great Khan desired Wudang’s immortal methods.
But they hadn’t expected him to be so ruthless. They thought the unappreciated Third Prince suddenly gained attention when the Great Khan was deciding on an heir.
Now, with this news, only the insightful ones understood the depth of the Great Khan’s intentions.
National Preceptor Basiba respectfully replied: Get full chapters from N()velFire.net
“Rest assured, Great Khan. Within three days, I will lead the army to obliterate Wudang, to soothe the Third Prince’s spirit in the heavens!”
He made no mention of the immortal methods.
