"Boom..."

The tide of blade Qi shattered the thunderous sword Qi, violently pouring down.

Zhang Xuansu snapped back to reality, hurriedly dodging to the side.

The tide of blade Qi grazed the hem of Zhang Xuansu’s robe, falling into the forest below and kicking up a sky full of dust.

After steadying himself, Zhang Xuansu fixed his gaze on the area below, only to see that within the dust, dozens of acres of forest had turned into an ice-covered snowscape...

"Excellent, excellent, excellent!"

He couldn’t help but loudly applaud, saying, "What a move, to replace the will of the heavens with one’s own, to borrow the momentum of the world for oneself, truly brilliant, truly brilliant indeed!"

Yang Ge landed some thirty feet away from him, looking down with a sigh of regret at the slowly revealing icy landscape on the ground and said, "After all, it’s a fledgling technique, there’s excess force but insufficient intent."

Zhang Xuansu opened his mouth but didn’t know what to say.

He felt that Yang Ge was showing off

but he didn’t have any evidence...

It was quite a while before he spoke up, "I sense that your technique has yet to reach its full potential, is there a follow-up move?"

Yang Ge said, "Yeah, do you want to see it?"

Zhang Xuansu clenched his fists, but ultimately waved his hand, saying, "That won’t be necessary!"

Yang Ge said, "That’s really a pity... after we finish, let’s talk below."

Indeed, there was a follow-up to that move.

He just hadn’t created it yet.

The two landed by the fire pit, and Yang Ge sat down with a lazy plop, saying, "We’ve fought, now can you tell me why those gray grandchildren under you have chosen this time to create chaos? Don’t fob me off with some Buddhist and Taoist disputes, I’m more aware of the situation in the court than you are!"

Zhang Xuansu wanted to refuse, but glancing at the Cold Moon saber that Yang Ge held tightly and did not let go, he finally spoke, "The world may be on the brink of chaos."

Yang Ge was taken aback, suddenly standing up, his brows furrowed fiercely, and asked, "What did you say?"

Zhang Xuansu pointed towards the sky, "The stars say so!"

Yang Ge’s frown relaxed, and he questioned, "You believe in that stuff?"

Zhang Xuansu angrily said, "You ignorant youth know nothing..."

Before he could finish, he caught sight of the veins popping on the hand Yang Ge held the saber with and quickly changed his tune, "Astrology and divination are the prized skills of the Heavenly Master’s Mansion, how can they be wrong? Moreover, I have personally witnessed a very similar celestial phenomenon... one hundred and eighty years ago!"

Yang Ge’s brow slowly furrowed as he asked emphatically, "Are you saying that the realm of Shenzhou is about to see a dynastic change?"

Zhang Xuansu looked directly into his fierce eyes, calmly responding, "You can choose not to believe, but isn’t it better to be prepared just in case?"

Yang Ge let out a light "heh" and scoffed, "Of course I don’t believe, and you’d best not either, it’s not good for your longevity!"

Zhang Xuansu was furious, "You scoundrel, how dare you insult your elders!"

Yang Ge expressionlessly raised his saber, pointing at him, "Disagree? Then let’s fight again!"

Zhang Xuansu’s expression stiffened, and with a huff, he flung his sleeves, "I refuse to stoop to arguing with a junior like you!"

Yang Ge lowered the Cold Moon saber and spoke softly, "It’s been with such difficulty that the common folk have begun to hope for a full belly. If anyone dares to extinguish that sliver of a meager hope... a hundred deaths would not atone for such a sin!"

Zhang Xuansu looked at him and suddenly let out a light sigh, his voice full of earnest, "Young man, do you understand that the will of heaven cannot be defied?"

"Heaven has its will, and I have mine!"

Yang Ge said expressionlessly, "Even if human strength can’t compete with fate, I can still touch my chest and say with a clear conscience ’I did my best.’ On the other hand, you people have cultivated Dao and martial arts your whole lives, don’t tell me all you’ve achieved is becoming resigned to your lot? Wouldn’t that be cultivating nonsense?"

Zhang Xuansu shook his head helplessly, not refuting his statement, nor inclined to explain anything to him.

Yang Ge didn’t care to waste more words on this stubborn old man either, "Fine, I’m going back to Lu Ting. You’d better take good care of those gray grandchildren of yours, don’t do any more unscrupulous things, and don’t bother me if it’s not necessary... "

He conjured a blade Qi and soared into the sky, "If this happens again, I won’t be this amiable!"

Zhang Xuansu watched him go, sighing yet again, "To be young, is truly wonderful!"

In Yang Erlang, he saw the shadow of his own youth.

Back then, he too had been as spirited and indignant as Yang Erlang.

But now, all he wanted was to continue living, to enjoy a long life...
