  Lin Shu’s first reaction was that the Great Wizard was very arrogant.

  However, considering his mysterious and unpredictable strength, it was not easy to judge if his tone was arrogant.

  This great wizard……in an instant, killed thousands of people, and then thought that he destroyed the whole village of Peach Blossom Land in this way. It could be seen that he was indeed extremely cruel, and he was not a person who could be guessed by common sense.

  Another point was that Qing Ming Demon Lord wanted him to find the peerless manuals, and the Great Wizard was also looking for the peerless manuals. The difference was that the Demon Lord wanted him to find only two books and burn them, while the Great Wizard obviously wanted to wipe out all the ascension masterpieces that Southern Xia possesses.

  Even many days ago, Xiao Xuan mentioned that the Great Wizard was very fond of collecting manuals.

  Was there any connection between the two?

  Xiao Shao: “Did you see it?”

  Lin Shu: “I saw it.”

  This method made thousands of people burst open at the same time and turn into blood. Apart from some elements of witchcraft, it was more of the absolute suppression of powerful spiritual power!

  In a very short period of time, the spiritual power of that area was pressed to the extreme, just like solid — and the mortal’s flesh and body had no resistance!

  To explain it in the way of modern physics, it was similar to a person who was originally on land and then was suddenly thrown into the deep sea. Under the terrible pressure, the whole person was pressed into a tiny bit. Then, the pressure dissipated instantly, and his whole body exploded with no bones left.

  Though this method was terrible, there was still a silver lining .

  \r \r \r

  This method was not effective for immortal cultivators, or at least they would be prepared, because immortal cultivators could also manipulate spiritual power, they could detect changes in spiritual pressure, and could resist in time.

  But the good news did not provide any sense of assurance.

  If one could compress the spirit power to this point in an instant, then you could clearly see the powerful control ability of the wizard.

  Lin Shu thought to himself that even he could not do it at the peak of his cultivation.

  However, he was a sword cultivator, he had no special advantage in the way of spiritual power, and maybe he could not be compared in this way.

  But in any case, the Great Wizard’s strength was at the peak of the Tribulation.

  As for where this peak can go, there was no reference, but there was also no comparison.

  Lin Shu said, “What shall we do?”

  “We wait.” Xiao shao said, “There is someone who is also in peak of tribulation in Jubei City.”

  Lin Shu breathed a sigh of relief.

  In other words, although Jubei Pass is the only natural danger between the north and the south, it would be too dangerous if it was only guarded by the Dynasty’s cavalry, they would be at a disadvantage when a powerful enemy struck.

  Just as he was thinking about it, he saw an old man walking up slowly on the city wall.

  The old man was not tall, and his appearance was unremarkable. He wore a brown cloth, as if he was just one of the hundreds of ordinary old people who could be seen on the street.

  Then he heard the old man say slowly, “Your Excellency suddenly visited and threatened to massacre the city. It would be too much to think that Southern Xia is unmanned.”

  The Great Wizard’s tone was lazy and sloppy, “Cang Wuji, you come for nothing.”

  Hearing the name “Cang Wuji” reminded Lin Shu.

  Southern Xia has four peerless manuals, that is to say, under normal circumstances, only four sects could have characters who could survive the tribulation–except for some amazing talents.

  There was the 《Solitude》 in Phoenix Mountain Villa, 《Parts of Ten Thousand Creation》 in Dream Hall where Yue Ruohe lived, and 《Illusion and Reality》 in Huanhai Tower. There were very few people in this sect, but the Sage’s in Huanhai Tower were also studying in the Academy. They often wore purple clothes and veils. Lin Shu had seen them many times. In addition to these three, the remaining one was the Henglian sect, they owned 《The Whale Drinking and Swallowing the Sea》, that is, the sect where Cang Min lived.

  This old man seemed to be the old master of Henglian Sect and Cang Min’s grandfather.

  Senior Cang holding a simple broadsword in front of him said, “Please enlighten me.”

  The Great Wizard was still leaning on the seat, “Fifteen years ago, Meng Fan was still no match for me. How about you now compared to Meng Fan 15 years ago?

  “This old man has aged years, and it is true that I cannot be compared with General Meng. Your Excellency led thousands of troops to besiege him when he was alone, you are really despicable.”

  The Great Wizard laughed and said, “Meng Fan’s rescue and help came so late, he was alone in the isolated city, no wonder I could defeat him easily.”

  Lin Su suddenly opened his eyes.

  What does he mean by “Fifteen years ago, General Meng was no match for me”?

  Also, thousands of troops besieged him alone, and the cavalry rushing to help late——

  Ling Xiao once told him about a past event.

  It was said that in the battle of Changyang 15 years ago, the Great Wizard of the Northern Xia Dynasty arrived, and the army rushed to help but arrived too late. There was a man who guarded the lonely city at night and died with a thousand arrows penetrating his heart.

  That person, it seemed to be…… Mr. Meng.

  He looked at Xiao Shao.

  Xiao Shao nodded.

  Old story, so that’s how it is.

  It turned out that the Peach Blossom Land massacre was not the only grudge between them and the Great Wizard.

  zaki~ this is a very short chapter, I think our dear author is preparing us for something wild later on.
