Remould the Glory of Sword Art-Chapter 1255 - 166: Northern Border Battles (Part 2)
"Luo Lie is heavily injured, and Luo Hai nearly perished?"
The second piece of news disclosed by Mi Yun shocked everyone present.
You must know.
The One Strike Sect, apart from the "Fan Yin Temple," is undoubtedly the first great sect in Li Kingdom... Luo Lie is the Great Destiny Carrier who masters the Rule of Destruction, possessing powerful cultivation of the Yang God Sixth Realm!
Nalan Xuance, along with those two Yang Gods from the Great Li Imperial Family, almost completely annihilated the One Strike Sect!
"How are the two of them now?"
Chen Chong’s eyes flickered slightly.
"The two of them narrowly escaped and have currently been taken to Phoenix Seal City in Wu State."
In Mi Yun’s words, there is one word that is quite important.
[Taken!]
It is apparent that Fan Yin Temple had already anticipated this sudden assault and took countermeasures.
"Mr. Chen, there’s no need to look at me like that."
Noticing Chen Chong’s gaze, Mi Yun honestly said, "That great crisis at Xuanbei Pass exhausted most of my Power of Cause and Effect Dao Realm, which has not yet recovered. The resolution of this assault entirely relied on the measures left behind by the Zen Master."
The news of the Zen Master’s death is no secret here.
However...
This Great Virtue of Buddhism, second only to the Qing Deng Ancestor Master, left numerous contingencies before his ’death’.
Chen Chong had deep experience regarding this matter.
"So, it seems..."
Chen Chong lowered his gaze and said, "The One Strike Sect cannot be relied upon for this battle in Wu State."
"Indeed."
Mi Yun stated straightforwardly, "Sect Master Luo Lie is severely injured. Even if the Crown Prince fights his way to the foot of Phoenix Seal City, it will be difficult for him to join the battle."
Nalan Xuance lost an arm.
However...
He also eliminated a potential disaster!
If it weren’t for this assault, Luo Lie might very well become a sharp blade aimed at Qian State in the future, much like Chen Chong!
"This news is terrible."
Jian Qingqiu lowered his voice, "This battle was already difficult to fight, and now the odds of victory have diminished..."
Although it is a grand confrontation of hundreds of thousands of Iron Cavalry.
However, a Great Cultivator like Luo Lie is no less significant than an entire state’s Iron Cavalry.
In this level of ultimate confrontation.
When two armies face off, the Yang God experts are sure to deploy their Lifebound Cave Heaven, opening a void battlefield beyond the heavens.
If the Yang God battle is lost.
Even if the Iron Cavalry wins... it will be in vain.
A Great Divine Ability User at this level, without being affected by Cause and Effect Karmic Force, can easily massacre an entire city single-handedly!
"Here’s the third piece of news."
Mi Yun could tell that the atmosphere in the City Lord Mansion was quite heavy at this moment.
Two consecutive bad news items had put pressure on great generals like Chen Chong and Han Li.
"Is it good news?"
Han Li’s voice was tinged with tension.
"Sort of..."
Mi Yun smiled bitterly and said word by word, "Today, the Zen Master... appeared."
"???"
These three pieces of news, each one more explosive than the last.
The third piece of news even made Chen Chong stand up in shock.
"What?"
The Three States Iron Cavalry Lord, for the first time, lost his composure in front of others, revealing an incredulous and bewildered expression.
Two years ago.
He personally confirmed the Zen Master’s death.
Yet Mi Yun says...
The Zen Master has appeared?!
"To be honest."
Mi Yun folded his hands in his sleeves, his expression becoming solemn: "Although the Zen Master has passed away, it cannot be considered a ’true death’ in the traditional sense. His current situation is very similar to those two Sect Leaders over in the Great Chu Dynasty..."
"You mean..."
Chen Chong stared at Mi Yun, his voice trembling, "The Zen Master never died. He is... in Divine Travel."
"Yes."
Mi Yun calmly stated, "This is why the Fan Yin Temple can persist with great difficulty in such a declining tide."
With these words.
Many bewildering questions are instantly resolved.
"..."
Chen Chong’s expression was complex, his eyes gradually revealing a look of realization.
A Divine Traveler.
Traverses the River of Destiny, observing both past and future. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶
Planting causes, reaping effects.
His own Time Dao is the cause sown by the Zen Master... and joining the Fan Yin Temple’s camp today is the fruit he reaps.
"But there’s no need to be too pleased."
Mi Yun looked towards Han Li, earnestly explaining: "The Zen Master’s appearance is certainly a blessing, but this appearance lasted less than half an incense stick, and in the Red Pearl Cicada Country, he only met with me alone..."
"So... he has... already left?"
Du Yunzhong cautiously spoke.
Usually brash in his actions, having followed the Great General through the south and north, Du Yunzhong generally held no reverence for the vast majority of ’powerful beings.’
But the Zen Master... was definitely an exception.
The power of this Great Divine Ability User of Buddhism has already reached the pinnacle of the world.
Du Yunzhong dared not act rashly.
"Yes."
Mi Yun nodded and said, "Before leaving, he specifically mentioned you."
"Me?"
Du Yunzhong was taken aback, feeling flattered but also anxious.
All these years.
As the main force in Destroying Buddha, he committed quite a few karmic deeds.
Within the borders of Yuan Province, ancient temples and Buddhist temples.
He couldn’t recall how many he led people to flatten...
Fortunately, he didn’t commit too many murders.
Thankfully, the Great General ordered him to imprison monks rather than kill them; otherwise, how could Du Yunzhong have the face to cooperate with the Fan Yin Temple camp here at Xuanbei Pass?
"He said, ’Lay down the butcher’s knife, become a Buddha on the spot.’"
Mi Yun softly spoke, "Master Du, you need not look back, just focus on the path ahead. Everything in the past has become smoke and clouds, all is fate."
"This..."
Upon hearing this, Du Yunzhong felt a mixed array of emotions stirring within his heart.
Though clumsy, he understood the implication behind these words.
This remark from the Zen Master truly alleviated the greatest concern in his heart...
With these words, if the final battle in Wu State is victorious in the future, as a former sinner of ’Destroying Buddha in Yuan Province,’ he will not face post-autumn reckoning from the Fan Yin Temple.
"Many thanks for the Zen Master’s generosity."
After a sigh, Du Yunzhong bowed to Mi Yun.
The Zen Master’s Divine Travel has already departed.
This bow could only be directed towards Mi Yun.
"You’re welcome."
Mi Yun didn’t take advantage of this, returning the courtesy, then turning to face Chen Chong.
He slowly said, "Mr. Chen... the Zen Master also had words for you."
"Oh?"
Chen Chong raised his eyebrows.
"The great calamity is not over."
With a solemn expression, Mi Yun said gravely, "Mr. Chen is the Great Destiny Carrier of Li Kingdom in this era; every move you make will influence the great tide."
The great affairs of the world, are they born from all living beings?
Or are they born from one or two Great Destiny Carriers?
If you’ve stepped into the River of Destiny... you’ll find the answer.
The one stirring the great tide is certainly not the millions.
In this great tide of Li Kingdom, the person able to play a crucial role.
Is none other than... Chen Chong!
"Mr. Chen, you are now the Lord of Three States Iron Cavalry of Yuan, Yu, and Wu States."
Mi Yun stared at Chen Chong, his words forcefully resonating: "Together with Chong State... the vast majority of the Iron Cavalry of the Northern Four States are under your command. If you intend to march south, pulling the rug out from under, then those wagering their lives with you will no longer be just those two or three hundred thousand Iron Cavalry. There will also be billions of living beings from the Northern Four States."
