Chapter 401 Qiu Ziyue, Don't Go Too Far
Qiu Ziyue saw through the window that the barrier was about to break, her brows furrowed slightly, and she thought:
"It seems that this little mountain is indeed quite capable and should not be underestimated."
Zhu Wen and his generals were all taken aback; they hadn't expected that Xiao Shanzi actually had some skill.
Qiu Langyu, who was watching from the window, realized that it was Xiaoshanzi who had broken through the barrier.
He angrily said, "Xiaoshanzi, how come it's you?"
Xiao Shanzi was momentarily distracted. He opened his eyes and recognized Qiu Langyu, which made him somewhat flustered.
Qiu Ziyue asked Qiu Langyu what exactly happened.
Qiu Langyu told Qiu Ziyue that this little mountain was Qiu Xiaoshan, the doorman of Qiu Tianya, Qiu Ziyue's master.
Because Qiu Ziyue had been studying by the side of Valley Master Qiu Ruoshui for many years.
Qiu Tianya had been in seclusion for a long time, so Qiu Ziyue had never met him before.
After Qiu Langyu finished speaking, he strode out of the inn and asked:
"Qiu Xiaoshan, what brings you here?"
Seeing that he couldn't avoid the question, Xiaoshanzi hastily responded:
"Senior Brother Qiu, I have learned a great deal by being by Senior Qiu's side, but Senior Qiu often goes into seclusion to cultivate and dismisses us disciples."
Having nowhere else to go, I joined the army. Recently, my mother has fallen seriously ill and needs a lot of money for treatment, so I had no choice but to take action.
Qiu Langyu said, "Your mother is seriously ill and needs a lot of money. We can give it to you, but you cannot help the wicked and ruin the reputation of my Passion Valley."
"Haha, so you're from the Valley of Passion. A great teacher produces a great student."
No wonder Qiu Ziyue and Qiu Xiaoshan, you are both more skilled. Although I, Tao Akun, lost, I did not lose face.”
Tao Akun laughed.
Yelü Bei watched with great interest from the side:
"The culture of the Central Plains is profound and extensive, and the martial arts of the Central Plains are also unfathomable, which is truly breathtaking."
Yelü Zhigudao:
"The Valley of Passion is full of experts. Even the doorman is so powerful. It seems that the Valley of Passion lives up to its reputation."
Zhu Wen, worried that the situation might change, threatened from the side:
"Little Shanzi, you must break this barrier today. Your mother's life is in your hands. Do you understand?"
Xiao Shanzi apologized to Qiu Langyu with a helpless expression:
"Senior brother, I was forced into this situation. For the sake of my mother, I had no choice but to offend you."
By this time, most of the incense had burned out, and Xiaoshanzi seized the last opportunity to do his best.
Qiu Ziyue had already made a plan when she saw that the first barrier was about to be broken.
She quickly enlisted the help of Leng Feng, who had some knowledge of the Five Elements Shield.
They began preparing talismans, ritual implements, and other items, and started setting up a second, more robust barrier.
Qiu Ziyue waved her hands continuously, chanting complex incantations, and streams of spiritual energy flowed from her fingertips, merging into the air.
Leng Feng was responsible for setting up formations around the area and carving various mysterious symbols on the ground and walls.
Before long, with Qiu Ziyue's final soft shout, the second barrier was successfully formed.
Outside, with a soft sound, the first barrier completely collapsed, and Zhu Wen and his generals cheered with joy.
"Soldiers, charge! Raze the inn to the ground and tear Qiu Ziyue and her accomplices to pieces!"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The millions of soldiers poured into the tiny inn, pouncing on a lamb like a pack of hungry wolves.
The innkeeper and the few travelers inside were not simple people either.
They were also prominent figures in the martial arts world back then.
So they haven't been clamoring to check out and run away these past few days.
Instead, they came out to watch the excitement.
One of the passengers said:
“Zhu Wen, you old scoundrel, have caused the people to be displaced. Today is the perfect day for you to come and I will surely finish you off.”
Other passengers also said:
"Zhu Wen, you old scoundrel, caused our family to be destroyed and our lives to end. I haven't drawn my sword in a long time. I'll cut off your head to comfort my family."
…………
Zhu Wen, still furious, continued to boost the morale of his soldiers:
"Charge!"
However, when the millions of soldiers rushed towards the inn, they found that they could not break through the new barrier no matter what they did.
Zhu Wen asked Xiao Shanzi with a puzzled look:
"How is this going?"
After careful observation, Xiaoshanzi replied:
"Your Majesty, they have already set up a second barrier."
Upon hearing this news, Zhu Wen flew into a rage, pointing at Xiaoshanzi and roaring:
"What should we do now? If you can't break this barrier for me,
Not only will you lose your head, but your elderly mother won't survive either. Do you understand?
Xiao Shanzi felt a chill run down his spine, knowing he had no way out and could only grit his teeth and agree, trying again to find a solution.
Just then, Qiu Ziyue said leisurely to the person next to her:
"Let's go have lunch and let them keep busy outside."
As she spoke, Qiu Ziyue led the way into the inn, and the others followed suit, all with relaxed smiles on their faces.
It seemed as if they didn't care at all about the crisis outside.
Qiu Ziyue was also generous, inviting other passengers to have dinner together:
"I can see that you are all renowned figures in the martial arts world back in the day. Today, I have put you heroes in such a predicament."
Please bear with me, but I, Qiu Ziyue, will definitely make sure you get out unscathed, so please don't worry."
"Miss Qiu, what are you saying? In these chaotic times, we are all pitiful people with nowhere to go."
We were just about to settle accounts with that old scoundrel when he came knocking on our door. Now it's our chance to settle accounts with him."
"A burly man with a thick beard said heartily."
"Yes, Miss Qiu, my wife and I were originally an honest and upright family, but this chaotic world has forced some of us to starve to death and others to die of illness."
"I'll sell my children, but today, this old hag is risking my life to fight that old scoundrel Zhu Wen. It won't be a wasted life."
An elderly woman in her sixties also spoke.
The shop owner was a man of strong character, and he generously and magnanimously ordered the waiter to serve him the best wine and dishes.
Everyone sat together, drinking heartily and sharing their hardships and struggles.
Qi Yuxuan and Li Cunxu sat beside Qiu Ziyue, constantly serving her food.
Qi Yuxuan and Li Cunxu were very well-behaved at the moment and stopped arguing. Qiu Ziyue was enjoying herself like a queen.
"My lords, after we finish our drinks and meal, how about we go to the courtyard and have a get-together?"
I'll play the piano and dance for you all; just enjoy the show.
Everyone applauded and cheered.
"My wife, it's fine for you to act crazy and make a fuss sometimes."
"But we can't let these people lose their lives for nothing today; that's no joke," Qi Yuxuan warned.
Qiu Ziyue smiled calmly, as if she had been prepared for this.
"We've adjusted our plans a little, my husband. You'll see soon enough."
Qi Yuxuan knew Qiu Ziyue's style; once she was confident, she would always go all out.
However, even when facing a massive army, his palms still sweated.
"Twilight Sparkle, have you had too much to drink? Once the barrier breaks, there are only a few dozen of us. How can we withstand an army of thousands?"
"Senior Brother Qiu Langyu asked."
"Yes, Ziyue, you're still as crazy as ever, but don't go too far," Zhao Wanqing kindly reminded her.
Leng Feng remained unusually calm:
"Since Twilight Sparkle likes to play, we'll play with her. I think it's quite exciting."
Arutai and Xiaowan were engrossed in eating, seemingly gathering their energy for a big battle later.
Li Cunxu heard everyone talking about it.
He laughed and said, "Your Highness, I've always supported your silliness."
This time is no exception. It's been a long time since I've seen you play the piano and sing. Shall I sing for you again today?
To be continued in the next chapter!
