Chapter 560 The inherently evil Moon-Worshipping Ghost!
Zhao Linger had never enjoyed the treatment of a princess since she was a child, so she was a little nervous. However, Murong Fu had seen a lot, so he waved his sleeves and said calmly, "No need to be polite, stand up!"
He waved his sleeves, and with a gentle aura, he helped everyone up.
Some Bai Miao masters subconsciously used their internal energy to fight back, but they felt that they could not exert any strength at all. Their own strength was like a drop in the ocean, disappearing without a trace. Murong Fu's internal energy made them go with the flow, unable to resist.
Everyone was startled. The Miao region has always respected strength, and the Bai Miao leaders who were currently attending the meeting were all top-notch masters of the Miao region. However, when Murong Fu waved his sleeves, their bodies were unable to resist, which showed the huge gap in strength between the two sides.
"My Lord, are you really an immortal?" asked the King of Nanman after he stood up.
"For you, yes." Murong Fu said, "There are still two masters from the Shushan Sect who haven't caught up with me. Let me lend them a helping hand!"
As he spoke, Murong Fu turned around, his spirit left his body, and sensed the auras of the Sword Saint and the Drunken Sword Immortal.
Soon, he caught the breath of the two men. Although they were very fast, they were still a long distance away from the Dali Kingdom.
They are behaving normally, the abnormal one is Murong Fu.
"Ten thousand swords return to the clan."
Murong Fu said softly.
As he spoke, Murong Fu gently pulled at the void.
Murong Fu used himself as the core of the sword intent and used the Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin.
But the targets were only the Sword Saint and the Drunken Sword Immortal.
Ten thousand swords return to their origin, using the most authentic and original sword intent in the world to summon the sword intent and flying swords in the world.
However, after Murong Fu reached a higher level, he became a kinder person and would not deprive others of their flying swords, lest they suddenly lose their weapons and be defeated in the middle of a battle.
He often just took away the opponent's sword intent and condensed it into Ten Thousand Swords Returning to the Origin.
At this moment, Murong Fu's target was to seize the flying swords of the Sword Saint and the Drunken Sword Immortal.
"I feel the purest and most authentic sword power in the world." The Sword Saint was puzzled at first, and then his expression changed drastically, "Junior brother, be careful!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the flying sword under his feet instantly traveled through time and space, traversing space at an extremely fast speed.
The same goes for the Drunken Swordsman.
The two men didn't know why, but they could not resist the sword intent. Unless they gave up their flying swords, they could only calm their minds and use the sword energy to protect their bodies.
In a flash, the Sword Saint and the Drunken Sword Immortal appeared in front of Murong Fu.
They understood immediately.
The two men fell to the ground, and the Drunken Swordsman laughed and said, "You really scared me just now. I thought we were attacked by some monsters. It turns out that you, Senior Murong, are the one behind it. This move is really powerful. It's as if our sword intent and flying swords were attracted by a more authentic sword intent, cutting through time and space and arriving here in an instant."
Murong Fu said: "This is called the Ten Thousand Swords Returning to the Origin."
The Sword Saint said: "It is worthy of the name."
When the King of the Southern Barbarians and others saw Murong Fu pull out two sword-controlling masters by pointing to the void, they were so shocked by Murong Fu's method that they were dumbfounded and speechless for a long time.
Zhao Linger was proud of her husband's abilities.
Did Murong Fu do it on purpose or by accident?
Of course it was intentional and careless.
Murong Fu understood one thing very well, that is, the world only recognizes strength. If he wanted to subdue the King of Southern Barbarians for Zhao Linger, if he wanted to pursue efficiency, he should not be humble and low-key, and then slap others in the face or something.
That's silly.
As long as he shows his unpredictable methods, people like the King of Southern Barbarians will naturally respect him as a god and will not dare to have any other thoughts about Zhao Linger.
"This is the head of Shushan, the Sword Saint Dugu Yuyun!" Murong Fu pointed at the Sword Saint and introduced him to everyone, "He can be said to be the best swordsman of the contemporary era!"
The Sword Saint felt that Murong Fu was being sarcastic to him, so he could only humbly say, "In front of Senior Murong, I am not worthy of the title of Sword Saint."
The Southern Barbarian King looked at the Sword Saint and said in a lost voice, "It turned out to be the Sword Saint Dugu from Mount Shu? You have wiped out the demons and shocked the world. Even in Miao Territory, we have long heard of your great reputation. Seeing you today, I can see that you are as strong as a dragon and as majestic as a mountain. You have the bearing of an immortal!"
Murong Fu was an unknown person in this era. Although he had extraordinary abilities, the King of the Southern Barbarians did not recognize him.
But the Sword Saint of Mount Shu was a senior master who suppressed this era, and the King of Southern Barbarians had heard of his name for a long time. However, people like the Sword Saint were like dragons in the sky, and it was difficult for mortals to catch a glimpse of them.
Now that he had seen it with his own eyes, the King of the Southern Barbarians felt very honored.
However, even the Shushan Sword Master called Murong Fu his senior, and said that his swordsmanship was not as good as Murong Fu's. It seems that this Dali princess is no longer an orphan, but has a truly powerful backer. The situation in Dali is probably about to change.
"You're too kind." Facing the compliment from the Southern Barbarian King, the Sword Master remained calm.
"This one is the Sword Saint's junior brother, the most unruly master in Shushan, the Drunken Sword Immortal Situ Zhong!" Murong Fu pointed at the Drunken Sword Immortal with a smile, "There is a poem to prove it: I ride the sword on the wind to slay the demons between heaven and earth. With wine I am happy and carefree, without wine I am also crazy. I drink up the rivers and lakes, and drink again to swallow the sun and the moon. I can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk, only I am the Drunken Sword Immortal!"
The Drunken Swordsman's old face turned red, feeling a little embarrassed.
If he recited this pretentious doggerel in front of a junior like Li Xiaoyao, it would naturally sound majestic and impressive.
But when Murong Fu, who was more than ten times more capable than him, read it out, it was a bit like the class teacher reading out a classmate's love letter, which was a very embarrassing scene. Fortunately, the old face of the Drunken Swordsman was very thick-skinned, and he quickly lost his embarrassment and smiled, "I don't deserve this praise. I'm just a drunkard!"
Nanman Wangdao said: "I have long heard of the name of Senior Drunken Swordsman. Today, I saw that Senior was as ethereal as an immortal, extraordinary and impressive."
The Drunken Swordsman looked at his own trough nose and his tattered Taoist robe, and finally confirmed that the Southern Barbarian King had indeed never heard of him and was only complimenting him randomly.
However, he was open-minded by nature and did not care. After all, his senior brother was famous all over the world, and he was much inferior to him. It was normal that he was not recognized by the people in Miaojiang.
"This one is the leader of the Bai Miao tribe, the King of Nanman." Murong Fu introduced the King of Nanman to the Sword Saint and the Drunken Sword Immortal.
The King of the Southern Barbarians secretly thought: This Prince Consort Murong is an immortal himself, and his abilities are even better than that of the Sword Saint of Shushan. He also brought with him the Sword Saint of Shushan and his junior fellow disciple, the Drunken Sword Immortal. The Shushan sect is the largest sect in the world and is very powerful. What on earth does he want to do?
The King of the Southern Barbarians fully sensed Murong Fu's strength, but he did not understand Murong Fu's true purpose.
Fortunately, Murong Fu did not intend to play tricks, but came straight to the point and said: "King of the Southern Barbarians, I brought Ling'er to Dali this time to restore order and bring peace to the people of Dali!"
The King of the Southern Barbarians heaved a sigh of relief, realizing that Murong Fu did have political ambitions, probably for Zhao Linger.
But she was not afraid of political struggles. Although the Bai Miao tribe had become independent, they were still willing to accept the Witch King's lineage as the legitimate one. Otherwise, she would not have sent Gai Luojiao to find Zhao Linger.
"May I ask how your Excellency plans to restore order?" asked the King of the Southern Barbarians.
Murong Fu said in a clear voice: "Everyone, the chaos in Dali today is caused by one person, and that person is the Moon Worship Sect's leader. This Moon Worship Sect leader plotted against the Witch Queen when he founded the Moon Worship Sect."
"The Moon Worshiper has raised an evil water monster. This water monster has great power and can cause a flood. Do you remember the flood in Dali?"
The Bai Miao people suddenly recalled the scene of the flood disaster that year.
"This was actually done by the Moon Worshiper?" The Nanman King was shocked. "Back then, they worshipped the Moon Worshiper and said that the disaster was caused by the Witch Queen. His Majesty the Witch King had no choice but to imprison the Witch Queen to appease the people. Later, the Witch Queen died of illness, and the princess was taken away."
Murong Fu asked, "Do you believe what the Moon Worshiper said?"
The King of the Southern Barbarians said, "Of course I don't believe it, but I just guessed that the natural disaster happened at that time, and the Moon Worshiper was trying to divert the disaster and slander the Witch Queen. I didn't expect that the natural disaster was actually caused by the Moon Worshiper. Is this water monster really so terrifying?"
Murong Fu said: "The water monster is one of the five monsters sealed by the ancient goddess Nuwa. I don't know how it was released by the Moon Worshiper. You have heard of the story of Nuwa mending the sky. You should know that in ancient times, there was a flood, the sky collapsed and the earth cracked. Nuwa refined stones to mend the sky and save the people. Among them, the one who created the flood was this water monster. The water monster is born in water, it is difficult to kill, and it is very scary."
“The Moon Worshiper…” The Nanman King’s face turned pale.
Compared with the water monsters raised by the Moon Worship Cult, the poisonous beasts they raise are simply child's play!
The Miao people have worshipped Nuwa for generations. It turns out that this water monster was one of Nuwa's enemies back then. No wonder it could cause a huge flood. But how could human power contend with such a monster?
"The Moon Worshiper is a lunatic! He started the flood just to exclude the Witch Queen who could seal the water monster, because the Witch Queen is a descendant of Nuwa, and the descendants of Nuwa inherited Nuwa's spiritual power, which is a huge threat to the Moon Worshiper." Murong Fu said, "The water monster caused a huge disaster, and the Witch Queen couldn't bear to see the people suffer. After entrusting Ling'er to the knight, she sacrificed herself and sealed the water monster. What about dying of illness? This is simply the history book of the Moon Worshiper, which is a distortion of history!"
After Lin Qing'er sealed the water monster, the Moon Worshiper was still alive and held tremendous power. Naturally, he would not allow Lin Qing'er's contribution to saving the world to be known to others.
Therefore, the Moon Worshiper tampered with history and took credit for stopping the flood. He also said that the Witch Queen brought misfortune and was punished by heaven, so she died of illness.
The high-ranking officials such as the King of the Southern Barbarians who were at odds with the Moon Worshiping Leader naturally understood that this could not be the truth, but they did not know the true history either.
However, most of the common people believed the nonsense of the Moon Worshiper.
"I knew it, I knew it, this Moon Worshiper is a demon!" the old Bai Miao leader shouted angrily, "He is so cruel and outrageous!"
Nanman Wangdao said: "The conflict between the Black Miao and the White Miao was caused by the Moon Worshiper, who was behind the scenes fanning the flames. I have always known this, but I never thought he would do such a thing. His evil is even worse than I thought."
Murong Fu said, "It's not just that! After the Moon Worshiper seized power, he also assassinated the Witch King, because after the death of the Witch Queen, the Witch King repented and wanted to deal with the Moon Worshiper. But the Moon Worshiper's men were already inside and outside the palace, and the Witch King's plan to purge the court was known to the Moon Worshiper. The Moon Worshiper personally killed the Witch King, and then let a tree spirit with the ability to transform into the Witch King's appearance."
"What? Is there such a thing?!" the Nanman King was shocked. "But if you think about it carefully, the Witch King was not as incompetent as he is today ten years ago, and he did not completely obey the Moon Worshiper. It's just that in the past few years, the Witch King has listened to the Moon Worshiper in everything. Ah, this evil Moon Worshiper, he actually killed the king! Hateful!"
The top leaders of the Bai Miao tribe cursed.
In fact, they don't have much loyalty or good feelings towards the Witch King.
Regardless of whether the current Witch King is real or fake, it was always the Witch King himself who allowed the Moon Worshiper to dominate the world in the early days.
In recent years, the Moon Worshiper has been suppressing the Bai Miao tribe in the name of the Witch King. Fortunately, the Bai Miao tribe is actually an armed separatist tribe and their own poison is very powerful, so they can compete with the Moon Worshiper.
As a result, the little loyalty the Bai Miao people had left to the Witch King had long been exhausted, and they often cursed the Witch King in private.
But the Witch King is Zhao Linger's father after all. Princess Zhao Linger is very skilled and she even relied on her beauty to capture a powerful immortal. The immortal also invited masters from the Shushan School to help.
They did not think there was anything wrong with this behavior. Miao women did not have the same concept of chastity as Han women, and they did not practice "double purity". If Zhao Linger had not gotten there first, the King of Nanman would have even wanted to seduce Murong Fu himself. After all, Murong Fu was indeed a handsome young man, and his heart was filled with love.
Now that Zhao Linger has the strength and status, of course they have to keep the name of Zhao Linger's father, the Witch King, secretive for the sake of his dignity, and pretend that everyone loves the Witch King and is sad, indignant, and regretful about his death.
"And the current drought in Dali Kingdom is also related to the Moon Worshiper!" Murong Fu said firmly.
There is no evidence for what he said.
But no evidence is needed.
Evidence is needed for a lawsuit. This is a coup and a tragedy!
A coup only needs a reason and coordinates!
"The drought is also related to the Moon Worshiper?" The Southern Barbarian King was surprised. "Isn't the water monster related to water? Can it only release floods?"
Murong Fu said, "Have you forgotten? The Witch Queen had already sealed the water monster. In order to unseal the water monster, the Moon Worshiper has been consuming Dali's national fortune and extracting Dali's water spirit power. After all, the water monster lives when it encounters water. Over time, Dali began to suffer from drought. Now that the drought in Dali is so severe, it means that the water monster has been unsealed. The Moon Worshiper has also sent people to find Ling'er, which means he is ready to show his cards!"
"If we don't stop him, he will capture Ling'er and steal Nuwa's spiritual power. With the help of the water monster, he will provoke a war and flood the seven armies. Your Bai Miao tribe will be wiped out. And he will rule the Dali Kingdom legitimately, and even invade the Song Dynasty, the Western Xia Dynasty, and the Liao Dynasty! Unify the world and do whatever he wants in the world. Isn't this a catastrophe for the people?"
"To sum up, this Moon Worshiper is no longer an ordinary cult leader. We must strike hard!"
