Martial Arts Crossover: A fortune teller told Li Hanyi that she was destined to marry him.

Yue Ji silently appeared behind Duan Yanqing and suddenly attacked.

Hades was prepared and immediately swung his heavy sword at Duan Yanqing.

A series of deafening sounds rang out, and the force emanating from them caused the martial arts practitioners present to retreat in fear.

When they came to their senses, they saw that both Minghou and Yueji had been defeated.

Duan Yanqing stood there motionless like a zombie, but his voice echoed throughout the hall.

In the southwest corner of the hall.

Xu Fengnian said, "I never expected that this heinous scoundrel could use ventriloquism. He's really got some skills and deserves a reward!"

"This guy has a physical disability, yet he was still able to cultivate to the Free and Unfettered Heaven Realm. His perseverance is truly admirable."

Old Huang grinned and sighed.

Nangong Pushe kept a straight face, his hand quietly moving towards the twin swords at his waist.

Faced with such a powerful opponent, she didn't even have the courage to draw her sword.

She's still too weak!

As he pondered this, Nangong Pushe gripped his twin swords tightly once more.

Xu Fengnian glanced at her and said, "White Fox Face, don't worry, I will definitely get you a Heavenly Secret Token as a way of fulfilling my previous promise."

Nangong Pushe said, "Alright, I'll use the opportunity of entering Tingchao Pavilion to exchange for a Heavenly Secret Token."

"But let me do it this time."

Xu Fengnian pointed to the golden Heavenly Secret Token.

Time flies, and half an hour has passed in the blink of an eye.

Seeing that no one else was going to challenge her, Ye Ruoyi stepped forward and announced loudly:

"The time for defending the title has ended, and the Silver Heavenly Secret Token belongs to 'Heinous'."

"Next, we will decide who owns the Golden Heavenly Secret Token. The starting bid is 10,000 taels of silver."

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of wealthy businessmen dressed in fine clothes rolled up their sleeves, ready to bid.

But before they could speak, Xu Fengnian shouted:

"Xu Fengnian, the heir apparent of Beiliang, has offered one million taels of silver!"

To avoid a misunderstanding like last time, he added, "If someone offers a higher price, I will stop arguing."

Although this wasn't Xu Fengnian's first time bidding, his extravagance this time still made the wealthy people present feel inferior.

One million taels of silver—that's a figure that would make everyone hesitate.

After all, the Golden Heavenly Secret Token is only issued once every seven days.

Aside from people like Hua Manlou who are in dire need, who would waste a million taels of silver just to wait a few more days?

In the silence, Xu Fengnian finally obtained the Golden Heavenly Secret Token he desired.

"Please follow me upstairs, you two guests who possess the Heavenly Secret Token."

Ye Ruoyi said calmly, while subtly giving Sikong Qianluo a wink as a greeting.

As he went upstairs, Xu Fengnian suddenly remembered something and asked in a low voice:

"Fairy Ye, I left in such a hurry that I didn't bring any silver notes with me. Could I pay on credit?"

Ye Ruoyi smiled and pursed her lips: "Young Master Xu didn't leave in a hurry, but rather he left three years ago and hasn't gone home at all, has he?"

Xu Fengnian was taken aback: "How did Fairy Ye know?"

"Of course, it was the Celestial Immortal who told me."

"I also know that you deliberately pretended to be a playboy and used the excuse of traveling for three years to refuse the marriage bestowed by Emperor Liyang."

"It was only three years of hardship and traveling six thousand miles. This was the tribulation you were destined to endure."

"As for the one million taels of silver, you don't need to worry."

"As long as Beiliang still has a chance, you can borrow ten million taels without any problem."

Chapter 18 The Long-Haired Fairy

"At worst, we can use the fate of Beiliang to pay off the debt."

Ye Ruoyi said calmly as she walked.

Xu Fengnian and Lao Huang, who were following behind, couldn't help but shudder.

"At worst, we'll use the fate of Beiliang to pay off the debt!"

If someone else had said this, Xu Fengnian would have thought the other person was arrogant and ignorant, daring to threaten Beiliang.

Back in the Spring and Autumn Period, during the war between the states, Xu Xiao led 600,000 Beiliang troops to conquer six dynasties and sweep across most of the world.

His horse swept across the land, annihilating countless renowned sects.

Xu Xiao once said that the person in the world who could threaten him had not yet been born.

But when these words came from Su Chen's maid Ye Ruoyi, Xu Fengnian could no longer laugh.

Not only could he not laugh, he was even a little scared.

He felt that Ye Ruoyi wasn't joking, but stating a fact.

The Celestial Immortal truly has a way to weaken the fate of Beiliang!

Thinking of this, Xu Fengnian felt a bit more afraid of Ye Ruoyi.

What does it mean to say the harshest thing in the gentlest tone?

He truly witnessed it today.

However, Ye Ruoyi's words just now revealed a very crucial piece of information.

That was his three-year journey, a destined ordeal.

Just as Xu Fengnian was about to ask further, he realized that they had already reached the seventeenth floor.

Su Chen sat calmly in the main seat, but his eyes twitched slightly when he saw Xu Fengnian.

This is the main character in the snow, with an extraordinary background. He is definitely a big shot among big shots, with extremely strong luck.

"I have met the Celestial Immortal—"

The Four Evils, Xu Fengnian, Lao Huang, and Nangong Pushe stood on either side and bowed to Su Chen together.

Not to mention Su Chen's already renowned name, "Celestial Immortal," which had spread throughout the world.

Su Chen's unparalleled swordsmanship, capable of summoning heavenly lightning with a single strike, was enough to command respect. Especially considering what Ye Ruoyi said on the stairs, it not only terrified Xu Fengnian and Lao Huang, but also sent cold sweats down the spines of the Four Evils.

Although the world often talks about destiny, it is ultimately an ethereal and intangible thing. For Su Chen to be able to weaken Bei Liang's destiny—what a terrifying ability that is!

Ye Ruoyi never expected that a casual remark she made would cause such great psychological pressure on these people.

The seventeenth floor of the Dengtian Pavilion.

Su Chen nodded slightly in response to the bows of the crowd and said slowly, "Please rise."

After saying that, he raised his hand and took the Silver Heavenly Secret Token from Duan Yanqing's hand, a playful smile on his face.

Duan Yanqing was once again speechless with shock at Su Chen's methods.

Before he could react, Su Chen's voice rang in his ears again:

"Duan Yanqing, the leader of the Four Evils, is utterly wicked."

"He was the son of Duan Lianyi, the Shangde Emperor of the Dali Kingdom, and was once the Crown Prince Yanqing of the Dali Kingdom."

"In the fifth year of Shangde, a sudden upheaval occurred in the court. Emperor Shangde was murdered by the treacherous minister Yang Yizhen, and he fled Dali in the chaos."

"In the following years, he devoted himself to martial arts training and finally entered the realm of carefree heaven. He returned to Dali and wanted to use force to quell the rebellion."

"But because their whereabouts were exposed, they were ambushed by countless martial arts masters on the way, resulting in a bloody battle."

"Although he eventually eliminated all the enemies, he was also seriously injured, with both legs broken, his face disfigured, and his throat slashed, leaving him with no voice."

"Even with such severe injuries, he survived thanks to his strong will and insisted on coming to Dali."

"But by this time, the imperial court had changed."

"With the help of the loyal minister Gao Zhisheng and the eminent monks of Tianlong Temple, Duan Shouhui, the nephew of Emperor Shangde, quelled the rebellion and ascended the throne as Emperor Shangming."

"One year after Emperor Shangming ascended the throne, he became a monk at Tianlong Temple and passed the throne to his cousin Duan Zhengming, who is now Emperor Baoding."

"His last hope was to find a highly virtuous monk in Tianlong Temple, who was also his uncle, Master Kurong, to prove his identity and reclaim the throne that rightfully belonged to him."

"But Master Kurong was in seclusion at the time, and he waited for three months but could not see him, so he had no choice but to leave."

After Su Chen finished speaking, everyone in the hall showed expressions of shock.

Even his three companions were kept in the dark about Duan Yanqing's true background, let alone Xu Fengnian and his group.

This hidden secret completely changed their perception of Duan Yanqing.

If Su Chen hadn't revealed it, they would never have dreamed that this notorious leader of the Four Evils, who was infamous in the martial arts world of the Song Dynasty and had committed countless evil deeds, was actually once a noble prince.

Especially after hearing Su Chen recount Duan Yanqing's past in detail, they were so shocked that they were speechless.

Despite being the crown prince, Duan Yanqing's fate was exceptionally arduous, even more tragic than that of ordinary people.

He was forced to wander in a foreign land during his youth due to some reason.

When he returned after mastering his martial arts, he was scorned by many. His legs were broken, his appearance was ruined, and his voice was hoarse.

He finally returned to Dali, only to find that the court had changed beyond recognition and no one could verify his identity anymore.

Such an experience is enough to make one feel hopeless.

Xu Fengnian believed he had experienced many hardships, but compared to Duan Yanqing, they were nothing.

At this moment, Xu Fengnian felt a sliver of respect for this ugly villain for the first time, admiring his unwavering will.

"Duan Yanqing! Duan Yanqing!"

"I thought I had forgotten this name. It's such an unfamiliar name."
