The news that Prince Jin had entered Lingzhou with the Martial Venerable Seal had spread throughout the martial arts world. Martial artists from all sects gathered in Lingzhou without prior arrangement. Within a ten-mile radius of Linxia Mountain, there were martial arts heroes everywhere. Almost every time you looked up, you could see a burly man holding a weapon or a graceful and charming female knight-errant.
On the official road, a carriage was seen moving slowly. The driver was a fair-skinned, beardless man. Just as the carriage was about to enter the Linxia Mountain range, more than ten martial arts practitioners blocked the road. Their clothes were embroidered with a symbol of a soaring eagle. The leader, a burly man, pointed a knife at the carriage and shouted, "This road is blocked! Leave immediately!"
The coachman frowned and said, "That's strange. In the past, I always came to Linxia Mountain via the Dukang Road. Why can't I pass through today?" His voice was quite high-pitched.
The burly man at the head of the group said, "Now all the major sects have gathered at Linxia Mountain to pay homage to the Martial Venerable Temple and offer sacrifices to the Martial Venerable Seal. Unauthorized personnel are not allowed to enter. Please leave immediately to avoid being accidentally injured!"
The coachman squinted and smiled faintly, "I didn't want to go in originally, but the people in my carriage want to go up Linxia Mountain to see the excitement. I hope you heroes will be lenient!"
The burly man sneered, "Who are the people in the carriage? Who has such a powerful background that they dare to force their way into Linxia Mountain?"
As he reached out to lift the carriage curtain, the pale-faced man shrieked, "How dare you!"
Before he finished speaking, his hand shot out and swiftly grasped the big man's pulse. His fingers were slender and delicate, and his skin was as white as snow, making him even more beautiful than a woman.
The burly man felt a surge of subtle internal energy rush into his body, instantly dissipating most of his strength. He trembled and cried out, "He's a martial arts expert! Everyone, quickly capture him!"
The pale-faced man chuckled, "How dare the insignificant Azure Eagle Sect act so presumptuously in front of us, even deceiving our esteemed guests! They're asking for a beating!"
Before he finished speaking, he transformed into a blur and suddenly darted into the crowd. Before the disciples of the Azure Eagle Sect could react, they were beaten to the ground, crawling on the ground and groaning in pain.
After clearing the obstacle, the pale-faced man jumped onto the carriage, preparing to continue driving. But then he heard a delicate voice from inside the carriage: "Eunuch Wang, who are these people? How dare they be so arrogant as to block the road in public?"
The pale-faced man smiled and said, "Your Highness, these people are disciples of the Azure Eagle Sect."
The woman inside the carriage exclaimed in surprise, asking with great curiosity, "The Azure Eagle Sect, is that sect powerful?" Eunuch Wang chuckled, "Not really powerful. At best, they're just the Zhao family's watchdogs. Calling them the Azure Eagle Sect is an exaggeration; 'flies' would be more fitting!"
The woman inside the carriage couldn't help but smile sweetly. Eunuch Wang flicked the reins and spurred his horse forward again. After passing through the blockade of the Eagle Gate, they continued towards Linxia Mountain.
As they approached the foot of the mountain, they could faintly hear the clanging of weapons and the sounds of fighting echoing from the mountain.
Suddenly, the curtain of the carriage was lifted by a fair, jade-like hand, revealing a beautiful face—it was Huangfu Yao.
Her eyes shone with curiosity as she gazed at Linxia Mountain and murmured to herself, "Is this the martial world? It's so lively and bustling."
Eunuch Wang sighed, "Princess, the martial world is not just lively, it's also very cruel. His Majesty has only allowed you to come and observe this battle so that you can see the true nature of this so-called martial world. This martial world is full of fighting and strife. Please heed my advice, Princess, and do not take any risks..."
Huangfu Yao covered her mouth and laughed, "Eunuch Wang, you are the number one expert in the palace. With you protecting me, what danger do I have to fear?"
Eunuch Wang sighed, "Your Highness, you don't know this. There's always someone better. Not to mention the martial arts world, which is full of hidden masters, even in the capital, you can find many experts who are more powerful than me. General Long's wife alone is unfathomable, not to mention General Long himself."
Huangfu Yao said thoughtfully, "Yes, General Long has already gone to Tianjian Valley to marry Miss Wei, and now he has three wives..."
As she finished speaking, her eyes welled up with tears.
Eunuch Wang asked in a low voice, "Princess, is there something you need to tell me?"
Huangfu Yao blushed slightly and deliberately changed the subject, saying, "It's nothing, I just don't know who's fighting so fiercely up the mountain."
Eunuch Wang said, "The people fighting should only be some small gangs affiliated with the Three Religions, Four Families and Five Sects. These martial arts giants are still testing each other's reactions, so they secretly encouraged some small gangs to come to Linxia Mountain."
Huangfu Yao asked with great curiosity, "So what should we do with this Martial Venerable Seal?"
Eunuch Wang said, "His Highness Prince Jin built a Martial Venerable Temple on the summit of the mountain to enshrine the Martial Venerable Seal. All sects and factions are extremely envious of this and want to seize it for themselves in order to control the martial arts world."
Huangfu Yao sighed, "So they ended up fighting fiercely on the mountain?"
Eunuch Wang nodded and said, "That's exactly right."
Huangfu Yao frowned and said, "Why not elect a highly respected person to be the leader of the martial arts alliance and hold the seal of the Martial Venerable?"
Eunuch Wang shook his head and said, "Martial arts practitioners are all arrogant. The so-called virtuous and respected people must surpass others in martial arts. Otherwise, it would be better to elect a learned scholar as the leader of the alliance."
Huangfu Yao said, "So we're just going to keep fighting like this?"
Eunuch Wang said, "Indeed, until the strongest martial artist is defeated. In fact, in the eyes of those people, this Martial Venerable Seal is just an opportunity to make a name for themselves. Everyone wants to use this opportunity to overpower the others, sweep away the martial arts world, and become the number one in the world."
Huangfu Yao frowned and said, "Becoming the number one in the world, yet having to constantly guard against those below you from being dethroned, isn't that kind of life incredibly boring?"
Eunuch Wang said, "Wherever there are people, there is a jianghu (江湖, a world of martial arts and chivalry); wherever there is a jianghu, there is strife. The source of strife is nothing more than fame and fortune, power and wealth. This is both the way of humanity and the way of heaven."
Huangfu Yao sighed in great disappointment, "Is this what the martial world is like?"
Eunuch Wang asked, "What does the princess think?"
Huangfu Yao said, "In my heart, the martial world is about roaming the world with a sword, drawing one's blade to right wrongs, and acting freely and naturally..." Before she could finish speaking, a round head fell from the mountain, startling Huangfu Yao so much that she turned pale and hurriedly hid inside the carriage. Eunuch Wang shook his head and smiled bitterly, "This is the martial world. A person who is alive and well one moment may be decapitated the next."
At this moment, a figure in crimson robes quietly appeared. A fair-skinned young woman stared intently at Linxia Mountain with a fierce look in her eyes.
Eunuch Wang couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Miss Cui, you've actually gotten involved in this mess too."
The young woman in crimson robes was none other than Cui Die. She glanced at the carriage and returned the greeting, saying, "So it's Eunuch Wang, the foremost master of the Forbidden City. I greet you. May I ask why you've also gotten involved in this mess?"
Eunuch Wang smiled and said, "This servant is only here on orders; anything else is beyond my consideration."
Cui Die said calmly, "I have other matters to attend to, so I will take my leave now, please!"
After saying that, he transformed into a stream of icy and fiery energy and rushed into the mountain.
Huangfu Yao peeked out from the gap in the curtain and whispered, "Eunuch Wang, can we still go up the mountain?"
Eunuch Wang said, "The princess shall make all the decisions."
Huangfu Yao hummed in agreement and said, "Then let's go up."
She paused, then added, "If there are any severed heads or severed hands later, Father-in-law, you must shield me from them. It's bloody and...it's terrifying."
Eunuch Wang couldn't help but smile, thinking to himself, "This little princess is quite amusing. Since she's afraid of blood, she still wants to go up and watch the excitement. Oh well, let her have her way."
After more than half an hour, the carriage arrived at the foot of the mountain. Due to the rugged mountain road, the carriage could not move, so the two had to walk.
Eunuch Wang was exceptionally skilled; the rugged mountain path was no different from a flat plain in his eyes. Huangfu Yaoqian was frail and weak; after a few steps, her limbs went weak, and she bent over, panting. Fortunately, Eunuch Wang helped her.
The eunuch lifted Huangfu Yao up by the back of her hand, and with the delicate little princess in tow, they sped off towards the mountain peak.
山路上尚有不少门派设置的关卡，用来防备外人进入，在皇甫瑶看来这座山脉俨然成了一个战场，各门各派在山上安营扎寨，彼此攻防互换，为的就是争夺供奉在武尊神庙的印玺。
王公公武功高超，就是带着皇甫瑶也能轻松闯过关卡，当来到半山腰时却见前方正在激战。
打斗的是三名男子，其中一人是个十五六岁的俊朗少年，手持一口长剑，剑锋锐利，剑身隐隐有寒光流动，显然是不可多得的宝剑，而围战他的人乃是两名道士，一者高瘦，一者矮胖，三人各展其才，斗得是璀璨异常，就连王公公也露出几分赞许的神色。
持剑少年边打边说道：“你们两个败类，简直是叫道宗蒙羞！”
高瘦道士哼道：“小鬼头多管闲事，真是可恶！快快给道爷让路，若不然叫你好看！”
少年眉头一皱，冷喝道：“让路也可以，把你一路上骗来的钱财归还回去，我便让你们离开！”
矮胖道士嘿嘿冷笑：“若不是看在你母亲的面子上，道爷岂会跟你客气。”
少年剑眉一扬，大喝道：“本少爷便叫尔等见识天剑谷绝技！”
话音未落，只见他挥手便抖出八朵剑花，顿时寒光挥洒，剑芒如雨，将两名道士牢牢困在其中。
皇甫瑶不由好奇地问道：“王公公，这是什么武功？”
王公公咧嘴笑道：“是青莲剑歌，想来此子便是天剑谷的弟子。而从方才那个矮胖道士说的那句话推断，此少年郎十有八九便是天剑谷的小少爷，魏剑鸣了！”
皇甫瑶又道：“既是天剑谷弟子，又是手持宝剑，更有绝世剑诀，他应该能赢吧。”
王公公叹道：“难说，此子虽有神兵，但根基不足难以发挥剑诀的奥妙，而那两个道人乃是老江湖了，无论是根基还是经验都这少年郎之上，再加上是以二敌一，胜算已足八成。”
随着王公公说话的片刻，高矮道人各自发招，左右夹击，一攻一守，避过了魏剑鸣的剑芒，猛地一下子抢入魏剑鸣身旁三尺之地。
高瘦道人目光一冷，手掌宛如毒蛇般窜向魏剑鸣的喉咙。
魏剑鸣也非省油灯，剑锋回旋，逆向朝着高瘦道人的手腕削去，眼看便要将其手腕斩断，却见那道人手掌一扬，往袖袍内灌入内力，整个袖子变得柔和棉韧，像是一条皮鞭般卷住魏剑鸣的剑锋。
高瘦道人以虚招诱敌，而矮胖道人则趁机出招，一指点向魏剑鸣的檀中穴。
魏剑鸣反应也不慢，左手横在胸口，封住矮胖道人的偷袭。
然而攻势易挡，后劲难防，魏剑鸣只觉得整条手臂变得酸麻无力。
高瘦道人嘿嘿一笑，再向袖子注入更多的内力，使得袖子变得犹如铁链一般，紧紧缠住魏剑鸣的宝剑，而矮胖道人则趁机向魏剑鸣出招，仅仅三招的功夫便将这个小少爷逼得手忙脚乱。
魏剑鸣咬牙道：“好贼子，竟然会使囚魔锁，真是侮辱了这门道宗武学！”
囚魔锁乃是道门的一种类似太极盘丝手的武功，将内力灌入袖子、长鞭、绳索等一些柔软的物体内，藉此封锁敌人的神兵利器，着实难缠也。
剑锋被锁，又有敌人扰战，魏剑鸣渐感不耐，怒提真元，剑锋绽放寒冽光芒，只见他手腕一扭，强行绞碎高瘦道人的衣袖。
囚魔锁被破，高瘦道人依旧沉稳，他步步紧逼，以快急的掌法攻击魏剑鸣，而矮胖道人则以灵巧的身法在外围扰战，使得魏剑鸣空有一身剑法，却难以施展。
正所谓一寸长一寸强，一寸短一寸阴，两人心知魏剑鸣兵刃锋锐，故而贴身缠战，藉此压制剑锋走势。
魏剑鸣江湖经验尚浅，遇上这么两个老狐狸，顿时陷入一片支拙。
高瘦道人窥准破绽，大喝一声中，扫开中宫，一掌印在魏剑鸣胸膛。
魏剑鸣只觉得两眼一黑，胸口一阵剧痛，在他正要吐血之时，却感体内生出一股暖流，瞬息间平复内息，稳固气脉，将对手的劲力瓦解于无形。
只闻一声闷哼，发掌打人的高瘦道人竟是整条手臂发麻，身子被雄沉之气震退。
矮胖道人定神一看，只见一人单手按在魏剑鸣背后，正是以隔山打牛的手法将高瘦道人逼开。
魏剑鸣回头叫道：“姐夫，你怎么来了？”
龙辉收回按在魏剑鸣背后的手掌，苦笑道：“你这小子早早地跑出天剑谷，你娘亲和姐姐怕你出意外，死命地催我来找你！哎，这几天，我赶路都快赶疯了！”
魏剑鸣蹙眉道：“如今武尊印玺就摆在临夏山，我身为天剑谷弟子，怎能不来替天剑谷争一口气呢！”
龙辉伸手敲了他一个脑瓜子，喝道：“胡闹，就你这三脚猫的功夫也想来争夺武尊印玺，怕你连山顶都没上去就被人家打成猪头马面了！”
武尊印玺进入灵州，引得武林各派蠢蠢欲动，但于秀婷却依旧沉着，丝毫没有出手干预的意思，而魏剑鸣年少气盛，一心想替天剑谷争光，于是趁着母亲不注意便偷偷跑来临夏山，魏雪芯担忧弟弟安危，于是便让丈夫连夜追赶，这可苦了龙辉，本来是左拥右抱的齐人艳福，如今却成了辛苦奔波的劳累命。
看着小舅子平安无事，龙辉也算放下心头大石，问道：“剑鸣，你怎么跟这两个道长打起来了？”
魏剑鸣咬牙道：“我在赶赴临夏山的路上便遇上了这两个贼道，他一个装鬼去当地的大户人家作怪，闹得好几座庄园鸡犬不宁，另外一个便装作做世外高人来捉鬼，合伙骗取钱财，我看不过眼便跟他们打了起来！”
龙辉哦了一声，点点头道：“原来如此，你且把剑借我一下。”
魏剑鸣奇道：“为何？”
龙辉笑道：“你这小子空有一身剑法，却不通灵活运用，既然你叫了我一声姐夫，今天便教你几招！”
魏剑鸣心知龙辉武功不凡，于是便爽快地将剑递了过去。
高矮道人四目紧视龙辉，沉声道：“阁下既然是于谷主的佳婿，还请买个面子给家师。”
龙辉眯眼道：“家师？你们师尊是何方高人？”
高瘦道人拱手道：“家师乃是正一天道元鼎真人，在下道号悬灯，这位乃吾师弟悬壶。”
龙辉翻了翻白眼，说道：“管你师父是谁，总之你们打了我的小舅子，今天别想走得轻易。”
悬壶怒道：“有本事就放马过来，道爷我若皱一皱眉就不是好汉！”
龙辉冷笑一声：“就你这装神弄鬼的怂样也敢自称好汉！”
说话间，身影一动，一剑刺向悬壶心口。
悬壶沉稳以对，脚踏乾坤步，故技重施，欲以近身猛击的方法压制龙辉的剑锋走势，谁料龙辉中途变招，将剑刃一收，手握剑柄狠狠地锤在悬壶胸口，打得他满地打滚。
魏剑鸣不由一愣，龙辉这一手简单直接，却是瓦解对手近身缠战的最好方法，他不由暗忖道：“方才怎么没想到这一招呢？”
龙辉一击打倒悬壶后，便转身跟魏剑鸣说道：“剑鸣，武学一途，本是不拘一格，莫要被有形的招式束缚了自身。”
就在他说话间，身后劲风吹拂，正是悬灯暗中偷袭。
龙辉头也不回，反手便是一剑，锐利的剑气嗖的一声便将悬灯的七处大穴锁住，使他动弹不得。
龙辉轻松败敌，将长剑还给魏剑鸣，指着那两个道人说道：“马上给我消失，若是不服大可叫你们师父过来与我一会！”
两人恶狠狠地瞪了龙辉一眼，相互搀扶着离开。
龙辉暗忖道：“既然已经进入临夏山，那便不能独善其身，听说这个元鼎真人乃是野心勃勃之辈，一直窥探着道宗教主之位，视仙宗遗脉为眼中钉。既然是敌非友，那便趁这个机会削其威风，也好替鸿钧道长扫开障碍。”
就在这时，龙辉忽然听到身后传来一个清脆的叫声：“龙大人！”
回头一看，只见皇甫瑶笑语嫣然地朝自己走来，于是拱手道：“原来是瑶映郡主，龙某这厢有礼了。”
皇甫瑶见他说话生分，芳心不禁一痛，语气有些幽怨地道：“龙大人，上回你可答应过要跟人家说一些打仗的事情，可是到了现在你还没有跟人家说上半个字呢！”
龙辉微微一愣，尴尬地笑了笑道：“郡主，真是对不住，由于这些日子琐事太多，龙某实在是分身乏术。”
皇甫瑶咬了咬水润的朱唇，正想说话，却听一阵阵哀嚎声响起，两人的话题瞬间中断。
龙辉抱歉地笑了笑，说道：“郡主，龙某先上山瞧一瞧，就此别过！”
拉上魏剑鸣转身便走，皇甫瑶呆呆地看了看龙辉远去的背影，转头说道：“王公公，劳烦你带我上山了。”
王公公咧嘴一笑，伸手托住皇甫瑶背门，施展轻功嗖的一下便朝山峰窜去。
方一到山顶，龙辉便看到崔蝶杀入战圈，以一敌众，丝毫不落下风，那些围攻的武林人士衣服上都绣着一个雄鹰标志，正是苍鹰门的弟子。
只见崔蝶左手烈火，右手寒冰，连环出招，一口气扫开十多名高手，娇叱道：“苍鹰门的狗腿子，马上让赵桧给我滚出来！”
龙辉恍然大悟，原来崔蝶是来找赵桧算账的，但是赵家的人尚未露面，所以拿苍鹰门来出气，也算是敲山震虎。
苍鹰门只是二流帮派，门内并无高手，在崔蝶面前简直就跟苍蝇没什么分别，只看崔蝶玉掌翻飞，娇躯飘舞，几个起落便将这苍鹰门的主力扫荡一空。
看着七零八落躺在地上的苍鹰门弟子，崔蝶柳眉倒竖，雪靥泛起晕红桃色，显然怒气未平。
龙辉暗中传音道：“蝶姐姐，且冷静下来，赵家的人还没到，无谓跟这些走狗计较。”
崔蝶回音道：“非也，赵家的大队人马已经进入临夏山的北面山脉，我是抢先一步扫开山上的障碍罢了，并非单纯地出气发泄。”
龙辉微微一愣，说道：“赵家的人马什么时候来的，我怎么没收到消息？”
崔蝶说道：“临夏山北面临近焱州驻军的营地，赵家的人马是从军营借道进入临夏山的。”
驻军？龙辉不禁大吃一惊，焱州可谓是天剑谷的地盘，风吹草动都难以瞒过于秀婷的慧眼，但于秀婷也有难以窥探的地方，那便是军营，赵家从军营借道十有八九是来个暗度陈仓之计，趁着其他势力尚未反应过来先行占据临夏山，赵桧虽然无足够的实力夺去武尊印玺，但也足够影响局势。
龙辉深吸一口冷气，回音道：“蝶姐姐，赵家进入焱州驻军营地莫非是齐王所为？”
崔蝶叹道：“若真是齐王还好，事实上他们是由宋王安排的，据我崔家得来的情报，与赵家随行的还有靳紫衣和尹方犀。”
骇人的消息一个接一个，龙辉霎时有些应接不暇，头脑都有些发昏。
“当初在京师便看到尹方犀和裴国栋混在一起，而赵家跟裴家乃是联姻士族，尹方犀与他们同行也算合情合理，只是宋王何时将手伸入军队了？”
龙辉传音回去。
崔蝶说道：“自从你与魏姑娘成婚后，皇上便开始分解兵权，连齐王都受到波及了，如今宋王和晋王的心腹都已经被皇上调入兵部。”
龙辉顿时明白过来，皇甫武吉如此大动作地分解兵权实际上时为了防他，毕竟他的几个妻子都不是省油灯，秦素雅背后乃是财大气粗的江南秦家，魏雪芯则是天剑谷长女，龙辉他现在已经是一个不可小视的存在，若再手握兵权，其实力将可以撼动九五之尊。
龙辉不禁暗自冷笑：“怪不得当初我向皇甫武吉请示要离京前往天剑谷成婚，这老小子竟然答应得这般爽快，他原来是借故将兵部的权力分解，减低我在军中的影响力，如此一来，曾与我并肩作战的齐王便也受到牵连。”
崔蝶顿了顿，又说道：“昨天我接到大哥的传信，周皇后亲自出面，替齐王请来了韦驮菩萨和六界尊者。”
龙辉再度吃了一惊，思忖道：“如今三王背后都有三教势力支持，双方是合作互利，各自结识，三教要借皇室的力量夺去武尊印玺，为教主宝座铺路，而三王则要借三教之影响力替自己储君帝途扫平障碍。”
平复凌乱的心绪，龙辉知晓此时不宜与崔蝶太过亲近，只是打了个表面的招呼便拉走了魏剑鸣。
两人便在山顶闲逛，魏剑鸣提议到武尊神庙去瞧瞧，龙辉点了点头便带着他一同走向神庙。
临夏顶峰，只见一座庙宇巍峨耸立，端的是金碧辉煌，七宝灿然，殿堂外墙雕刻着各种壁画，有天神佛陀，亦有灵禽仙兽，正门牌匾上以金漆写着一个大大的武字，苍劲有力，直透人心，隐隐有股不可置疑的威严。
龙辉在外围扫了一圈，发现神庙百步之内隐藏着不少暗桩，想必是监视神庙的情况。
魏剑鸣奇道：“神庙外边似有不少高手潜伏，但内部却不见任何活物气息，这是为何？”
龙辉笑道：“原因有两个，第一，如今临夏山的各路人马只不过那几个大势力的附庸，主人没来他们怎敢进入。第二，这武尊印玺非同小可，谁若轻易踏入庙宇，便会成为众矢之的，便成了这个互相牵制之局。所以朝廷根本就不用派人把守，就这么随意地将印玺丢在里边，外边的人也不敢轻易去碰。”
魏剑鸣低声道：“既然那些高手都没来，不如咱们就进去把那个武尊印玺卷走吧。以姐夫你的武功，临夏山内根本无人是你的对手。”
龙辉摇头道：“就算我拿了印玺离开此地，那我后半生可要受到各方势力的关注了，到时候我想跟你姐姐好好说个话恐怕都难！”
魏剑鸣道：“那我们现在该做什么？”
龙辉靠着一株大树坐下，伸了伸懒腰道：“等，等谷主来了再说。”
魏剑鸣跺脚道：“等娘亲来了，其他大门派也都来了，到时候可就难说了。”龙辉打了个哈欠道：“来了更好，大家把话都摆在台面上说清楚，岂不更好。你可知道如今三教已经分成两大派系，第一个派系便是前教主指定的接班人，而第二个派系便是教中的元老又或者是新的精英，这两大派系都在紧紧盯着这个教主宝座，武尊印玺便是他们用来争夺教主的一个大筹码，所以这个情况下，天剑谷还是保持观望为好。”
魏剑鸣蹙眉道：“这般前怕狼后怕虎的，如何能成就大业。”
龙辉苦笑道：“傻小子，有时候安生立命远比成就一番事业要难，天剑谷之所以能屹立不倒，便是韬光养晦，不轻易卷入任何风波。这次武尊印玺只不过是皇帝抛出来让三教内乱的引子，我们保持观望即可。”
魏剑鸣说道：“既然如此，那为何娘亲还要来临夏山？”
龙辉道：“虽说事不关己，但皇甫武吉绝不会让任何一派势力做大，若天剑谷不来临夏山，难保他还会用什么诡计引咱们入局，与其等着对方暗算，倒不如选择有利形势主动出击。这次天剑谷不用出真功夫，只是走个过场罢了，让三教自己争个头破血流，当然必要的时候，于谷主还是得出面主持大局的。”
听了龙辉的解释后，魏剑鸣总算明白过来，叹道：“哎，我本想做番大事，谁知道差点坏了娘亲的计划。”
龙辉笑道：“在我看来，扬名立万不如保全亲人，剑鸣，你可是你们家唯一的男丁，你娘亲和姐姐今后还得由你照看，你今后得要学的东西还很多。”
魏剑鸣吐舌道：“别别，这种重任还是有姐夫你来担待吧，小弟实在才浅学疏。”
这个慵懒的小子，还真够滑头的！龙辉刚想骂他几句，却是心生戒备警兆，立即说道：“剑鸣，注意了，有高手来了！”
话音未落，一道人影疾驰而至，朝着武尊神庙扑去。
龙辉暗吃一惊，现在谁都不敢轻举妄动，这个人究竟是何来头，竟如此明目张胆地硬闯武尊神庙。
来人强势压境，引来周围的武林人士的注意，纷纷拿起兵器向他招呼，只见刀枪剑戟，弓弩暗器，一股脑地对准来者。
刀兵袭杀，那人却是巍峨如山，静若大地，忽闻他一声大吼，滂湃音波猛然爆发，那些武林人士尽数被震得倒地不起，口吐白沫，捂着耳朵痛苦呻吟。
是佛家的辟邪梵音！龙辉定神一看，只见一名身披土黄袈裟的僧者傲然而立，其身材健壮，肌肤晶莹，双眉如刀，眼眸中自有一股不怒而威的气度。
魏剑鸣凝神片刻，脱口说道：“是六界尊者中的地尊者！”
龙辉心头一紧，暗忖道：“听蝶姐姐说齐王昨天刚请来韦驮菩萨和六界尊者。此地距离玉京足有千里之遥，就算快马加鞭，也得花上几天功夫，为何今天此人便出现在此？”
Long Hui thought for a moment and suddenly realized: "King Qi must have secretly reached an agreement with the Six Realms Venerable. This monk had already secretly rushed to Linxia Mountain. Yesterday's so-called invitation was just a show, deceiving the eyes of various forces and making others think that the Six Realms Venerable was still in Yujing, thus lowering their guard, while this monk took the opportunity to seize the Martial Venerable Seal."
Currently, all forces are restraining each other, making it extremely difficult to deceive the enemy. However, on the surface, King Qi asked Empress Zhou to invite Buddhist masters to come out of seclusion and provide protection. In reality, he had already made contact with the Buddhist sect and carried out a secret operation to deceive all forces. Before the masters arrived at Linxia Mountain, he seized the Martial Venerable Seal in one fell swoop.
"Just now I was marveling at King Song's clever tactic of using the military camp as a cover, but who would have thought King Qi would be even more ruthless, launching a direct attack straight to the heart of the enemy. Now that the main forces of all sides are still on the periphery, this monk has the strength to completely crush these lackeys on the mountain." Long Hui smiled bitterly to himself. "These big shots are really cautious in their actions, hiding their main forces and sending some vassal gangs to lead the charge, thinking they could test the enemy's strength. Who would have thought that King Qi's eyesight is so sharp, seeing through their respective concerns, and catching everyone off guard with the simplest and most direct method!"
The struggle for the Martial Venerable title is also a continuation of the struggle for the Crown Prince. Prince Qi secretly laid out a plan, first establishing contact with the Buddhist forces and secretly dispatching the Earth Venerable to Linxia Mountain. While the other forces were still in the stage of testing each other, he gained an absolute advantage. Yesterday, he staged a good show of inviting the Buddha to come out of the mountain, making everyone think that he had finally won a strong ally and was powerless against Linxia Mountain. This combination of deception and reality, and the interplay of the orthodox and the unorthodox, was enough to make Princes Song and Jin suffer a complete defeat.
Such an action could not be taken without sufficient courage and boldness. At least in the early stages, all the major forces were still in the preparation phase. If they acted rashly, they would most likely suffer self-destruction. Therefore, all the major forces used some lackeys to cleverly probe the enemy's strength and weakness.
But King Qi did the opposite, laying a trap by sending powerful experts like the Earth Venerable to crush the mountain's lackeys. It was a case of superior forces against inferior forces, making it difficult for them not to win.
Wei Jianming whispered, "Brother-in-law, should we make a move?"
In truth, it didn't matter much to Long Hui who got the Martial Venerable Seal. What he was concerned about was when the battle for the seal would end. If the Martial Venerable Seal fell into someone else's hands too early, it would have a huge impact on his subsequent plans, and might even ruin everything. But if he made a move now, it would be tantamount to going against the Qi King, and the situation would be equally bad.
"The Valley Master won't arrive until tomorrow at the earliest. The other experts from the three sects are all on the outskirts of Linxia Mountain. Sister Die is no longer a member of the Han family, so she has no reason to interfere in this Martial Venerable competition. She can only target the Zhao family. Now, only I on the mountaintop can stop this monk..."
Long Hui's mind raced, and he finally made a decision—to make a move! Just then, two figures appeared not far behind Long Hui; they were Huangfu Yao and Eunuch Wang.
Huangfu Yao stared intently at Long Hui, while Wang Gonggong's eyes flashed with a deep look as he carefully watched Long Hui, recalling Huangfu Wuji's secret instructions to him—pay attention to all of Long Hui's movements!
