The protagonist of this crossover film and television series is disrupting the plot again.

Chapter 444 The Young Swordsman's Tale: Underworld Chapter 12

Xiao Yu always proves himself to everyone through his actions just when others think they know him well enough.

No, you know far too little about me!

Just when everyone was guessing that Xiao Yu's main purpose was merely to weaken the power of the martial arts world, they discovered that his plan was far more than that.

While the martial arts world was in turmoil, he had already delivered Xiao Lingchen to Ye Xiaoying, completely shattering Ye Xiaoying's dream of rebellion and supporting Xiao Lingchen.

Xiao Ruofeng and his son Xiao Lingchen have twice disappointed their Langya Army, greatly diminishing their prestige within the army.

This was undoubtedly the best opportunity for Xiao Yu to win over people's hearts.

However, Xiao Yu waited patiently.

Just as the audience in the main hall began to doubt whether Xiao Yu truly intended to consolidate his power within the military, Xiao Se finally arrived at the border.

After everyone around him was forced to the battlefield, Xiao Se finally let go of all his burdens and appeared directly in the army.

The Langya Army is the Langya Army of Beili, and it is also the culmination of Xiao Ruofeng's life's work.

After Xiao Ruofeng's death, only two people could inherit this estate.

First, there is Xiao Lingchen, who inherited Xiao Ruofeng's bloodline; second, there is Xiao Se, who inherited Xiao Ruofeng's mantle.

However, Xiao Lingchen has lost the trust of the Langya Army because he betrayed them, and Xiao Se is also dying from his serious injuries.

Against this backdrop, Xiao Yu became their only lifeline.

So, after being repeatedly asked and declined by everyone, Xiao Yu went with the flow and successfully took over the Langya Army.

At this moment, Xiao Yu's entire plan was perfectly closed, with each step interconnected and flawless.

Xiao Chong and Xiao Se are no match for him. The position of crown prince is already in Xiao Yu's grasp, within easy reach.

The martial arts world forces were also severely weakened and continued to expend their strength on the battlefield, making it difficult for them to regain their former glory.

Bei Li's formidable rival, Nan Jue, is also thrown into chaos due to internal strife.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Yi let out a heavy sigh and said with a solemn expression, "Xiao Yu is truly shrewd. While we thought he was just preparing to compete for the position of crown prince, we didn't know that he had already been secretly paving the way for unifying the world in the future."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Xiaokang slowly nodded, his eyes gleaming with anticipation: "Xiao Yu is ambitious, has a broad vision, is meticulous, acts decisively and skillfully, and his strength is extraordinary. I seem to already see the day when he leads Beili to unify the world."

Emperor Mingguan sighed softly, his tone a mixture of relief and lingering fear: "Thinking back on it carefully, we were really lucky. If it had been Xiao Yu who competed with us for the throne back then, it would have been a real unknown who would have won it."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Xiaokang nodded in agreement, and his opinion of Xiao Yu improved even further.

Emperor Tai'an, beaming with pride, boasted to everyone, "Luckily, I was wise enough to bestow Yi Wenjun upon my third son as a concubine, which is why we have such an outstanding grandson as Xiao Yu. I..."

Emperor Xiaokang couldn't stand his smugness, so he frowned slightly and glared at him.

Emperor Tai'an was startled and quickly changed the subject, saying, "Of course, this is also the will of Heaven, destined for a great ruler to emerge from Beili!"

Emperor Xiaokang then withdrew his gaze.

Just when everyone thought that Xiao Yu would finish the battle smoothly and then return in triumph to inherit the throne, an unexpected change occurred.

In order to resist the Northern Li army, the new emperor of Nanjue, Wu Qinghuan, actually used a secret technique to lure immortals down to the realm.

Upon seeing the opening between heaven and earth, the faces of everyone in the hall changed drastically, and they immediately cursed loudly.

They've been dead for so long, they must know the secrets of the celestial beings.

Wu Qinghuan's actions were undoubtedly like opening the door to thieves and letting wolves into the house.

With the power of those immortals, how many people in the entire human world could rival them?

Moreover, the martial arts world in the north is nearly extinct, and there are very few skilled individuals left. It is likely that they could not even stop an immortal in a single round.

Thinking about it this way, everyone became even more anxious.

I thought that Beili would soon achieve glory under Xiao Yu's leadership, but who would have thought that something like this would happen?

"Oh dear, Xiao Yu has really brought trouble upon himself this time. Now, thanks to his schemes, the martial world has suffered heavy losses. Who can resist the immortals of the lower realms?"

"Although Xiao Yu is powerful, he is ultimately just a human. How could he possibly resist an immortal?"

"Yes! What if Nan Jue really made some shady deal with those immortals? Wouldn't Bei Li be in danger?"

"Everyone, please calm down. I see that although Xiao Yu's expression is cold, he is not afraid. He must have already made up his mind."

"Oh dear, what could he possibly care about? Back then, the four great families worked together to barely drive the immortals out of the mortal realm. Now that the immortals have reappeared, the four great families have long since vanished, leaving only scattered forces. How could they possibly contend with the immortals?"

It wasn't that they didn't believe in Xiao Yu's strength, but rather that the immortals were simply too powerful.

How could Xiao Yu possibly withstand all the immortals on his own?

Just as everyone was as anxious as ants on a hot pan, wishing they could rush into the big screen to help Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu on the screen suddenly raised his hand, pointed straight to the sky, and entered a state of divine travel.

After that, everyone's eyes were opened.

The immortals, whom no one present could do anything about, were all killed one by one by Xiao Yu, who was wielding the Heaven-Slaying Sword.

To prevent the immortals from escaping, Xiao Yu even set up the "Severed Ground to Heaven" barrier, trapping a group of immortals firmly on the ground and killing them all.

Xiao Yu continued fighting until no immortal dared to descend to the mortal realm, only then did he withdraw the 'Heaven-Severing Technique'.

Upon seeing this, everyone was overjoyed, believing that the calamity caused by the immortals had been averted.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Yu, alone with his sword, charged straight into the sky.

Ten days later, Xiao Yu returned successfully, and the hall erupted in excited cheers.

Although they knew Xiao Yu was capable, they never imagined he could be this capable.

Subsequently, Nanjue was destroyed. After exonerating Xiao Ruofeng, Emperor Mingde issued an edict of self-reproach and abdicated to become the retired emperor. Xiao Yu then became the emperor of Beili without any suspense.

Several years later, he unified the world and became the universally respected ruler.

Seeing this, everyone slumped back in their chairs, completely at a loss for words to praise Xiao Yu.

They could hardly believe that such a person was actually their descendant.

"Actually, I still have one question,"

Emperor Xiaokang suddenly spoke up: "Given Xiao Yu's personality, he shouldn't have shown any mercy to Xiao Chong and Xiao Chuhe in the end, but he let them go. Why is that? Also, he seems to be paying too much attention to Xiao Ruofeng."

“I feel the same way.” Upon hearing this, Emperor Mingguan sat up immediately: “Xiao Ruofeng and he didn’t have a close relationship before, but I found that he seemed to treat Xiao Ruofeng differently, and even took good care of his son Xiao Lingchen.”

"I thought it was just my imagination, but it turns out everyone feels the same way."

The group was engaged in a heated discussion, and Xiao Ruofeng, who was at the center of the conversation, couldn't help but turn his gaze to the big screen.

Just then, the scene on the screen suddenly changed, revealing a pitch-black night sky dotted with countless stars.

Deep within the imperial mausoleum of Tianqi City, Xiao Yu, then the Crimson King, looked at the tombstone before him, a fierce glint in his eyes: "Ruofeng, rest assured, we've been brothers for decades. Now that you've been forced to your death, your brother will definitely avenge you..."

"Ruofeng? Brother?"

Those watching from outside the screen exchanged bewildered glances upon hearing this conversation.

Then, the night on the screen gradually faded away, replaced by a vibrant red.

Jingyu Wang, who was waiting to greet his bride, noticed that his younger brother looked unwell and beckoned to him with concern.

"younger brother……"
