The magic spell that was formed by the fusion of the Xuanming Divine Light Sword and the Divine Wind Wings is called Kunpeng Wings. It can fly into the sky and hide underground, and control the power of Feng Shui, just like the blue-winged Peng bird, a strange beast in the Beiming Abyss.

It is said that this strange beast is a descendant of Kunpeng. It is born with supernatural powers. With the vibration of its wings, it can soar into the sky. It is good at controlling the divine wind and the underworld water, causing countless lives to have their flesh and blood destroyed and their souls eroded by the divine wind of the underworld.

There is no doubt that this kind of fusion spell is extremely difficult and has extremely subtle requirements for the control of mana and spells.

Lu Chengfeng immersed himself in practicing magic and kept trying.

Even though he had refined the relevant gifts, he did not have the immortal's precise control over spells, magic power, soul, and the laws of heaven and earth, so he inevitably failed again and again.

Time passes, time flies.

Heavy snow covered the entire earth, and the Yuncang Mountains became increasingly quiet.

The woman sat cross-legged on the green lotus, leaving the overlord of the north helpless.

Even though the war in the south was in full swing and attracted the attention of people all over the world, the story of Xiang Qingchi blocking the Yuncang Mountain Gate gradually spread more and more widely, causing a sensation in the entire world.

"Princess Youdu came to Yuncang in person, sitting cross-legged on a green lotus, blocking the door and inviting a fight. King Beijiao stayed indoors and avoided the fight. The Yuncang Mountain was isolated from the inside and outside for three months now."

"I have never heard of Princess Youdu's reputation before, but as soon as she appeared, she stepped on the entire Yuncang Sword Sect and the Northern Dragon King and made a sensation in the world."

"It is said that the Northern Dragon King has already broken through the realm of heaven and man, but he is still forced by the Princess of Youdu to not dare to step out of the mountain gate. You can imagine how terrifying her strength is."

"In recent years, there have been more and more young heroes in the martial arts world. First, Zhao Tianyou defeated an army of thousands of soldiers single-handedly by the Sanchuan River in Yuchuan County. Then, the Northern Dragon King Lu Chengfeng defeated the uncrowned king of the north, Xiang Yuan. Then, the crown prince Liu Wu of the Later Han Dynasty destroyed the Wu Kingdom in one battle and shocked the world... Now, Princess Youdu has blocked the gate of Yuncang Mountain for three months, forcing the Northern Dragon King to avoid fighting."

"There are so many heroes in the world, I wonder who will be the one to rule the world in the future."

"There are countless evildoers and geniuses in the martial arts world, but the Crown Prince Liu Wu of the Han Dynasty is clearly superior. He has surpassed his peers and has the potential to be invincible."

……

Countless people in the martial arts world were talking about it. The existence of masters in the realm of heaven and man not only affected the various gangs and sects, but also had a huge impact on the future of the thirteen states in the world.

Those young overlords are actually influencing the fate of countless ordinary people in the world. How could they not pay attention?

……

South, outside Danyang City.

Several months had passed since Liu Wu last defeated the King of Chu.

Liu Wu did not kill Mi Ying directly, but instead ordered his army to slowly withdraw from Danyang City and leave Chu through the Danjiang River.

He himself stayed on a low mountain outside Danyang City, suppressing King Mi Ying of Chu, preventing him from escaping and not allowing anyone to approach.

After that, he stopped moving, as if waiting for something.

Before I knew it, more than half a month had passed and it was already the twelfth lunar month. The weather was getting colder and colder, and even in the south it had started snowing.

And for some reason, the south this year seems to be colder than ever before. It snowed for three days and three nights, and even the vast surface of Dongting Lake was covered with a thick layer of ice.

Even many people in the city were frozen to death.

King of Chu Mi Ying was already dying, his body was broken and he looked like a beggar, falling in front of Liu Wu.

His hair was disheveled and he smelled bad. The snow had fallen on his body, forming a thick layer. If it weren't for his faint breath, anyone would have thought he was a frozen corpse.

The king who once dominated the world has become a prisoner today.

Prince Liu Wu of the Han Dynasty, dressed in golden armor, looked like a sculpture, quietly gazing at the entire Dongting Lake. Until that night, the surface of Dongting Lake was frozen three feet thick, heavy snow covered the entire sky and earth, and the temperature dropped to an unprecedented level.

He turned around suddenly, and the iron spear in his hand instantly pierced through the head of King Mi Ying of Chu. With a click, the bones shattered, and blood spilled all over the ground, flowing on the snow.

The tip of the gun glowed with red-gold luster, instantly tearing apart his soul.

A great hero of his time, King Chu Mi Ying, died in the wilderness.

However, Liu Wu did not notice that when Mi Ying's soul was destroyed, a white lotus slowly bloomed, disappeared silently from the ground, and then appeared under the river surface covered by ice and snow.

The white lotus was spinning, with a green light flowing in the center and a dragon's roar faintly resounding.

At the same time, deep in Dongting Lake, it seemed that a huge monster had awakened from its slumber. Its body swayed, causing the water below the entire Dongting Lake to stir and create numerous ripples.

boom! boom! boom!
The undercurrent at the bottom of the lake caused huge waves, forming an extremely terrifying whirlpool, and causing a huge torrent.

What’s even more terrifying is that several underground water veins in Dongting Lake experienced tremendous explosions, making the already terrifying waves even more turbulent.

Click! Click! Click!

The originally solid ice surface on Dongting Lake was torn apart in an instant, and the waves rolled up snowflakes that rushed straight into the sky.

Liu Wu was the first to notice such a big commotion. His face turned extremely pale and he rushed towards Dongting Lake immediately.

However, it was too late. This horrific scene had already turned into a natural disaster after its initial gestation. Dongting Lake completely rioted, setting off an unprecedented tide.

Nothing can be undone.

An unprecedented catastrophe swept across the entire Danyang County.

The raging flood submerged everything, and all living beings were drowned in the waves amid screams, wails and despair.

……

The news quickly spread to the Han capital in a very short time.

King Liu Jing of Han looked at the memorial in his hand with a very grim look on his face.

"Bastard thing!"

He slapped down, smashing the table in front of him to pieces, and the memorial in his hand was directly turned into powder.

"Send an imperial decree, and have the Crown Prince return to the capital immediately without delay."

……

At the same time, what happened in Danyang County spread quickly to all directions.

Even Lu Chengfeng received the secret letter.

Zhu Yuxian personally delivered the secret letter. After reading it, Lu Chengfeng's face suddenly became extremely ugly.

"What's wrong?" she asked curiously. As the man became stronger and stronger, she rarely saw him with this expression.

Lu Chengfeng said in a serious tone: "On December 28, heavy snow fell from the sky. A rare blizzard occurred in the south, and the vast Dongting Lake was covered with a thick layer of ice."

"On that day, the Han army, which had been besieging Danyang for months, suddenly launched the fiercest attack. Han Crown Prince Liu Wu killed Chu King Mi Ying with a single spear, completely ending the last national destiny of the Great Chu Dynasty."

"However, something that no one expected happened. Even when heavy snow fell and the lake was frozen, Dongting Lake still erupted with a tidal wave that was rare in a thousand years, and endless waves flooded the earth." "The water of the Danjiang River rushed out of the river channel and ravaged the entire Danyang County. The people of Danyang County, a population of tens of millions, seven cities, countless villages and towns, and 300,000 Han troops were all submerged by the flood."

He said in a deep voice: "This incident has spread far and wide, causing a sensation throughout the world. The entire county has completely turned into a swamp, with corpses floating on the water, everywhere."

"This is a disaster that has not happened in a thousand years. It shocked the martial arts world and caused a stir in all directions. This is unprecedentedly tragic. In the past, no matter how great the natural and man-made disasters were, it would not be possible to turn an entire county into a deadly place and cause the extinction of millions of lives."

"When a rabbit dies, the fox mourns. All creatures of their own kind feel grief for each other. I'm afraid there will be a chain reaction next."

Zhu Yuxian's expression also changed. "In a county, there are probably tens of millions of common people. What a disaster that would be."

Lu Chengfeng nodded: "The secret letter said that once the news spread, countless heroes in the martial arts world rushed to the south to go to Danyang for disaster relief."

"There are also countless people living near the water who have been frightened and have abandoned their homes and businesses, leaving the places where their ancestors have lived for generations and migrating to other places."

"Although the Crown Prince Liu Wu of Han conquered the State of Chu, he was also caught up in a huge political turmoil. Although the details of the war to conquer Chu are unknown to ordinary people, they cannot be hidden from the leaders of major forces. Now the King of Han has summoned him back to the capital."

Both of them were silent for a long time, their eyes changing as they thought about the subsequent changes that this incident would cause.

Liu Wu ignored the threat of King Mi Ying of Chu and shot him to death on the day when heavy snow fell and Dongting Lake froze, thus triggering this unprecedented disaster.

It can be said that he is currently being pointed at and reviled by thousands of people. I don't know how many people in the underworld regard him as an executioner and a butcher, and wish to eat his flesh and drink his blood.

The King of Han issued an imperial edict, ordering Liu Wu to return to Hanzhou quietly, and he disappeared without a trace.

The turmoil caused by this incident not only affected the north, but also the Han Dynasty itself. Civil and military officials, local aristocratic families, and ordinary people were all in an uproar.

The Han Dynasty, which had unified the south and swallowed up the world, had to stop its expansion.

Although Liu Wu was the most powerful man in the world, he committed such heinous crimes and bore endless infamy, causing turmoil both inside and outside the Han Dynasty.

It can be said that even though the Han Dynasty has unified the south, it is still inevitably caught in great chaos.

Governing the world has never been accomplished by relying solely on powerful military force. Liu Wu's killing of Mi Ying almost cut off the destiny of the Han Dynasty, bringing the dragon's soaring momentum to an abrupt halt, forcing it to hide its minions and recuperate.

After Zhu Yuxian and Lu Chengfeng discussed for a long time, they clearly realized the current situation and pattern of the world. It turned out that this was a good opportunity to intervene in the South.

But now the Yuncang Sword Sect's mountain gate was blocked by that crazy woman Xiang Qingchi, and they could only watch and sigh.

Zhu Yuxian came and went in a hurry. After communicating with Lu Chengfeng, she left quickly. She had just broken through to the celestial being realm, and her foundation was not as solid as Lu Chengfeng's. She also needed to practice her magical powers, which took a huge amount of time.

But she didn't notice that Lu Chengfeng's gaze as he looked at her back was particularly solemn.

The changes in the south were seen by many as natural and man-made disasters, but Lu Chengfeng detected a struggle among immortals from clues.

For example, why did that sudden and unprecedented heavy snow come just when Liu Wu needed it most, freezing the entire surface of Dongting Lake for him?

Even if King Chu Mi Ying was a powerful celestial being, even if he was proficient in formations, what qualifications did he have to set up such an earth-shattering formation that could cause the waters of Dongting Lake and Danjiang River to burst their banks and flood an entire county?

But in the end, heavy snow fell and the lake froze, causing such terrible catastrophic consequences. What secrets are behind this?
Lu Chengfeng seemed to see two immortals using the magic tricks of Crown Prince Liu Wu of Han and King Mi Ying of Chu. Both sides used their own methods and even invoked celestial phenomena and took advantage of the terrain to engage in an extremely mysterious and unprecedented battle.

In the end, King Mi Ying of Chu died and the State of Chu was destroyed, but the water of Dongting Lake flooded Danyang and even plunged the entire Han Dynasty into great chaos.

Lu Chengfeng couldn't tell who would win or lose, but he also realized the huge crisis.

"Liu Wu is most likely the reincarnation of the Red Dragon. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to improve his strength to such a terrifying level in such a short period of time. At such a young age, his cultivation is higher than that of a cheater like me. If he is not the reincarnation of a real dragon, then it's really weird."

"The immortal behind Liu Wu originally wanted to use him to unify the south. Then, in order to retrieve his true dragon body, Liu Wu would definitely march straight in and march to the foot of Yuncang Mountain."

"And Xiang Qingchi is the reincarnation of Azure Dragon. If it weren't for my appearance, Youdu would have swept across the Northland as a hegemon. When Xiang Qingchi returns, he will become a being similar to Liu Wu."

"They are one in the south and one in the north, each of them controls half of the country."

"And the Yufa Tianzong is in Zhongzhou, and they may also have an immortal behind them."

"The situation in the south has temporarily subsided, so the north is likely to become the focus of their struggle next."

"The old monk chose me as a pawn to fight Xiang Qingchi and at the same time to seize the remaining soul of the red dragon and contain the south."

"If I accept the white lotus, I will become someone like Chu Wang Mi Ying... and this person now will be... Zhu Yuxian!"

Lu Chengfeng was horrified when he thought of this. Perhaps the struggle in the north had already begun silently without his noticing.

"Xiang Qingchi suddenly blocked the door, and he did so for several months. My soul gave me a warning, and I had an extremely strong sense of crisis, but I could not detect the source of the crisis."

"Could it be that those people behind this have already taken action?"

He frowned, "The old monk has placed a bet on Zhu Yuxian. He will definitely take some action this time, using Zhu Yuxian to fight against the person behind Xiang Qingchi."

"The key point of the southern war is the fight between Chu King Mi Ying and Han Crown Prince Liu Wu. Mi Ying is obviously no match for Liu Wu. The deeper battle behind this is at Dongting Lake."

"So if those people behind the scenes want to take action in Yuncang Mountain, where will they choose as the entry point?"

Although Lu Chengfeng had not refined much of the immortal gifts, he now began to try to figure out how to plan his moves from an immortal's perspective.

"There are no large rivers or lakes near Yuncang Mountain. There are only mountains. Of course... there is also the suppressed red dragon under the mountains..."

"What will they do?"

"Red Dragon... could it be fire?"

Lu Chengfeng thought hard, but still couldn't come up with a clear idea.

"Red dragon, mountains, water and fire..."

He took a deep breath. "No matter what the people behind the scenes are planning, they need to go through Xiang Qingchi. She is an extremely critical chess piece."

"As long as I can successfully use my magical power, Acacia Buckle, on him, I can completely reverse the current situation."

"We must hurry up and cultivate Kunpeng Wings. The sooner the better."

Lu Chengfeng calmed down his mind and no longer cared about the ups and downs in the outside world. He put all his energy into practicing magic.

A month later, in order to quell the growing chaos inside and outside the Han Dynasty, the King of Han had to order the abolition of Prince Liu Wu's position and enthrone him as Prince of Danyang, responsible for saving the people, quelling disasters, and washing away sins.

The South was unified, but had to stop its expansion, which gave Zhongzhou and the North a rare opportunity to catch their breath.

As the cold winter gradually passes, spring arrives, all things come back to life, and the climate begins to become warmer.

The white snow on Yuncang Mountain is gradually melting.

Lu Chengfeng spent the entire cold winter in Kunlongyuan.
