If I'm not mistaken, she has already mastered 27 cultivation techniques of the Free and Unfettered Sect.
No, I can't give up. I must seize the opportunity on Xia Ke Island.
If I were outshone by two younger people, where would I put my old face?
The Great Han World Alliance.
A mysterious destiny chart is slowly rotating.
Suddenly, a soft golden light burst forth from the horoscope, and several words slowly flew out from within this golden light.
"The dragon's roar in the heavens startles the world, and the wind and clouds gather to swim in the shallow waters."
Upon seeing these two sentences, a stern-faced man was about to ask a question.
But before he could speak, all the golden characters shattered into fragments, and even the destiny chart cracked instantly.
Upon seeing this, the stern-faced man shouted, "Mud Bodhisattva, what's going on here?"
As he spoke, a sharp killing intent instantly enveloped the person with a face covered in festering sores.
"It's impossible!"
"This is absolutely impossible!"
The man, who resembled a beggar, ignored the murderous intent surrounding him and immediately ran to the horoscope to examine it.
After a moment, the man named Mud Bodhisattva suddenly burst into laughter.
"Hahaha!"
"In vain I, the clay bodhisattva, spent my whole life believing in fate and exploring the secrets of heaven, only to end up with such an outcome."
"It was all for nothing in the end!"
"If that's the case, why should I bother coming here!"
As he spoke, the clay bodhisattva threw the cracked fate plate on the ground and then stomped on it hard.
It seems that something is about to be completely destroyed.
Having vented his anger, the clay bodhisattva slumped to the ground and turned his head slightly to look at the man beside him.
"Xiong Ba, I can't predict your fate."
"Why? What just happened?"
"Ah!"
The clay bodhisattva gave a wry smile and said, "You saw what just happened."
"Those two sentences are your destiny for the rest of your life, and also your fate."
"However, the will of Heaven cannot be defied. You know this principle, I know this principle, and everyone in the world knows this principle."
"Even people from the 371 Nine Provinces Continent, 729 throughout history, and 119 people know about it."
"But just now—no, not long ago—the Mandate of Heaven ceased to exist."
Hearing the claim that destiny did not exist, Xiong Ba was also shocked.
"Why does the Mandate of Heaven no longer exist?"
"Because someone who can defy fate has appeared, and this person exists."
"Human destiny is no longer immutable."
"Perhaps you don't understand this clearly, so let me explain it more clearly."
"The prophecy for the first half of your life is: 'A golden carp is no ordinary fish; it will transform into a dragon once it encounters wind and clouds.'"
"You, Xiong Ba, took Bu Jingyun and Nie Feng as your disciples. From then on, the world will be smooth sailing. Moreover, these two have helped you conquer most of the country."
"Thus, the prophecy has been fulfilled."

Upon hearing this, Xiong Ba hurriedly asked, "What does 'The dragon's roar in the nine heavens shakes the world, and the wind and clouds gather to swim in shallow waters' mean?"
"It's very simple: success and failure both depend on favorable circumstances."
"The world has gained its current state because of the winds and clouds, and it will also be destroyed because of the winds and clouds."
"This is destiny, and no one can change it."
"But things are different now. People who are not bound by fate have appeared, and what was once an unchangeable destiny is no longer immutable."
After hearing Mud Bodhisattva's words, Xiong Ba's face turned extremely gloomy.
First, they didn't believe they would be defeated by Feng Yun; second, they feared the person who could defy fate.
"Who is this guy?"
“I don’t know either,” the Mud Bodhisattva said with a smile, shaking his head. “But anyway, it wasn’t me.”
"I can only sense that this person is gradually influencing the destiny of the Nine Provinces Continent."
"It's almost spread to the Han Dynasty now."
"If Chief Xiong doesn't believe it, just wait a while and you'll see. The martial arts world of the Great Han is about to be turned upside down again."
Da Han Inn.
A group of people were gathered in the room discussing something.
"Commander Wang, we have now left the territory of the Great Song Dynasty and entered the Great Han Dynasty."
"Are we really on the right track?"
"The Han Dynasty is practically a shell of its former self. If anything goes wrong, we can't bear the blame!"
"Why not go through the Sui Dynasty, but instead enter Qin through the Tang Dynasty?"
Faced with this question, even a leader-like figure frowned deeply.
This man was none other than Wang Wu, the Imperial Guard who saw Li Chengqian off.
"Of course I know that it would be more convenient to enter the Sui Dynasty first and then enter the Qin Dynasty through the Tang Dynasty. After all, we are an envoy of the Ming Dynasty, and other dynasties still have to give us some face."
"But have you all considered this issue? The Tang Dynasty and the Sui Dynasty are now like fire and water."
"If we were to go through the Sui and Tang dynasties, how many complications would arise?"
"The Ming Dynasty's envoy traveled thousands of miles to deliver a message to the Qin Dynasty, and even passed through the Sui Dynasty along the way."
"If I were the Tang emperor, I would definitely think this was a plea for help from the Sui Dynasty, that the Sui Dynasty wanted to join forces with the Ming and Qin states to besiege the Tang Dynasty."
"By then, let alone whether we can deliver the letter, it will be a question whether we can even leave the Tang Dynasty alive."
Hearing this, everyone was very confused.
"No, why would the Emperor think that? We were just delivering a letter to Mr. Li!"
"It has nothing to do with the struggles between dynasties."
Upon hearing this, Wang Wu laughed and asked, "Does the Tang Emperor know who Mr. Li is?"
"The name of Ping An Inn has only gradually spread to the Sui Dynasty. The three great dynasties of Qin, Tang and Han have no idea that Ping An Inn exists."
"If we use Mr. Li as an example, do you think the Tang Dynasty would believe us?"
"What kind of person could have an emperor send a letter on his behalf in the form of an official document?"
"At that time, people will only think we are lying."
"But it's different when we enter Qin from Han. The Han court is practically non-existent, and nobody cares about us."
"The only things we need to guard against are the bandits and robbers on the road."
After hearing Wang Wu's explanation, everyone nodded in agreement.
"Alright, let's get going. The sooner we deliver the letter, the sooner we can finally breathe a sigh of relief."
"Yes, Commander Wang."
"By the way, what should we do with all these Legend of Sword and Fairy novels?"
Chapter 389 The Future Innkeeper: Someone is Scheming Against Li Chengqian
"Just throw it away."
"His Majesty ordered us to bring a set of the Legend of Sword and Fairy novels as a state gift. To prevent any unforeseen circumstances, we brought a total of twenty sets."
"Who would have thought that the journey would be so smooth, without any losses whatsoever."
"Now that the Han Dynasty is in chaos, carrying several large boxes will easily attract attention."
"We only need to bring two or three sets."
"Yes!"
Two large trunks were left behind at the inn right after Wang Wu and the others left.
The books in the box have changed slightly.
At the end of every Legend of Sword and Fairy novel, there are a few lines of text.
Peace Inn, safe passage, swords roam the martial world, laughing at the world; if mortals do not understand, ask the Peace Sword Immortal.
- Li Chengqian.
The Imperial Palace of the Sui Dynasty.
Emperor Sui flipped through the novels about immortals and swords that had recently circulated in the Sui Dynasty.
"General Yuwen, do you think this Immortal of Peace is really as miraculous as the legends say?"
Faced with the emperor's question, Yuwen Huaji was unable to answer for a moment.
This tale of the immortal sword was only recently introduced to the Sui Dynasty.
After the Legend of Sword and Fairy tales were introduced to the Sui Dynasty, a tremendous upheaval swept through the martial arts world of the Sui Dynasty.
The list of beauties from the Ming Dynasty, known for their unparalleled elegance, and the list of beauties from the Song Dynasty, known for their ethereal grace, are just some of the many lists that attract countless martial arts enthusiasts.
Therefore, countless martial arts practitioners clamored to go to the Peace Inn of the Ming Dynasty and ask the Peace Sword Immortal to rank the Sui Dynasty as well.
After all, the Heian Sword Immortal mentioned it in the side story of the Legend of Sword and Fairy.
