"You're not a human being!"

Many members of the Tianfeng family gritted their teeth, hating the Mountain-Splitting War God.

"Why would a powerful War God like you become a henchman for the Mu family? Aren't you ashamed? You've disgraced the image of a War God."

"Their alliance is definitely aimed at my Tianfeng family!"

"Ughhhhhh, that's fucking awful!"

...

Within Tianfeng City, the members of the Tianfeng family utterly despised the Mountain-Splitting War God.

If it weren't for the sake of the God of War's reputation, even harsher words could have been uttered.

Several dozen miles away from Tianfeng City, atop an ice mountain stands a dark brown, pointed ancient castle, a place reserved for the most promising members of the Tianfeng family who receive special training.

Typically, the castle only houses a few hundred people, a far cry from the tens of thousands of people the Helian family has in Tianfeng's main city.

The Tianfeng family's original surname was Helian.

As the main base of the Tianfeng family, Tianfeng City is undoubtedly one of the thirty-six main cities of the Duanmu Continent.

The Duanmu Continent is inherently cold, with short summers and long winters.

Located at the northernmost tip of the Duanmu Continent, the Northern Cold Region, as its name suggests, has a very harsh climate.

The Duanmu Continent has four regions: the Southern Mountain Region, the Eastern Hua Region, the Western Tang Region, and the Northern Cold Region. Among them, the Northern Cold Region is the coldest, followed by the Western Tang Region, while the Southern Mountain Region is relatively warm.

Otherwise, why would the two consecutive Gods, the Divine Axe God and the Thunder Blade God, establish their capital in Nanshan City in the Nanshan Region?

The four or five million people in Nanshan City did not appear out of nowhere.

Nanshan City is the most magnificent city on the Duanmu Continent, and even on the Nine Provinces Continent, it is comparable to Yuwang City.

It can be said that Nanshan City is very prosperous and has a large number of martial artists. Otherwise, why would Cao Ya choose Nanshan City as the location of the Martial Court? There is no other reason than that he was considering the same factors as the Divine Axe God and the Thunder Blade God.

However, in winter, even in the southernmost Nanshan region, the temperature can drop to minus 10 or 20 degrees Celsius, making it unbearably cold.

Needless to say, the Northern Cold Region is even worse.

The iceberg outside Tianfeng City never melts, occasionally melting some snow. But when winter comes and a few heavy snowfalls occur, it freezes back into solid ice, which is difficult for even martial artists to break.

This ancient castle atop the iceberg holds an extremely high position in the hearts of the Tianfeng family members, far surpassing that of Tianfeng City.

Because the highest authority of the Tianfeng family—the Tianfeng War God—usually resides in the Tianfeng Canyon, which is not far from here. Once he leaves the Tianfeng Canyon, the Tianfeng War God will live in this castle most of the time.

This castle is also known as the Palace of War!

Only those who have been War Gods of the Tianfeng family for generations are qualified to become the Palace Master of the War God Palace.

In the cold and desolate hall.

A cold-looking man in a black robe and with long silver hair sat high in the hall. His presence seemed to freeze the atmosphere of the entire hall.

"Teacher, it has been confirmed that the news from Wuting did indeed come from the Rising Sun Trading Company," said Iron Sword Martial Saint Helian Haoyan, bowing deeply.

Helian Haoyan, the Iron Sword Martial Saint, is also at the Innate Golden Core Realm, only one step away from entering the Void Realm.

However, the Iron Sword Martial Saint is still somewhat inferior to the Rising Sun Martial Saint.

After all, the Rising Sun Martial Saint has almost broken through the gate of the Void Realm, and will surely become a God of War within ten years!

Iron Sword Martial Saint, however, had no confidence whatsoever in achieving the Void Realm War God status.

Helian Haoyan, the "Iron Sword Martial Saint," already possessed a cold demeanor, but compared to his teacher, he paled in comparison.

The God of War, Tianfeng, sat there like a point of ice and frost; the closer one got to him, the lower the temperature became.

The God of War, Tianfeng, stood high above, his gaze sharp as a sword, piercing straight to the heart.

He gave a cold laugh and said:

"It seems that with Cao Ya, the 'God of War Who Splits Mountains,' as an ally, the God of War of Yunmeng can no longer restrain himself and wants to recreate the feat of the God of Thunder Blade and unify the world."

The Iron Sword Martial Saint bowed and asked:

"Teacher, what should we do?"

The Heavenly Wind War God coldly said:

"Want to unify the world? Have you even asked me? I will personally go there on the day the God of War of Splitting Mountains officially establishes the Martial Court in Nanshan City."

Iron Sword Martial Saint's face lit up with joy.

With the God of War Tianfeng on the move, how could the Martial Court Ceremony still be successfully held?

Although the God of War Tianfeng didn't say it, the Martial Saint Iron Sword would never believe that the God of War Tianfeng's visit was to celebrate the birth of the Martial Court and to have a drink with the God of War Splitting Mountain and the God of War Cloud Dream.

The Heavenly Wind War God stared coldly at the Iron Sword Martial Saint, and said with displeasure:

“Your cultivation is too slow. Mu Wang of the Mu family is probably about to break through to the God of War realm, while Cao Ya, who came from a wandering knight background, is already the ‘Mountain-Splitting God of War,’ yet you are still stuck in the Golden Core realm…”

The Iron Sword Martial Saint smiled bitterly.

Achieving the Void Realm grants one the prestigious title of War God, resounding throughout the world and ensuring their place in history a thousand years later. With such immense allure, who wouldn't want to break through to the Void Realm?

The difficulty of comprehending the Way of Heaven and Earth becomes clearer the closer one gets to the state of emptiness.

Otherwise, the number of powerful warriors in the world would not be so small.

Including the newly crowned Mountain-Splitting War God, there are only three.

"Teacher, I..."

The Iron Sword Martial Saint had barely opened his mouth when he was interrupted by the Heavenly Wind War God with a wave of his hand, who coldly said:

"I don't want to hear your explanations, I only care about the results."

"I don't want you to fail again and again."

The cold voice of the God of War Tianfeng made the Iron Sword Martial Saint dare not even breathe.

Helian Haoyan, the "Iron Sword Martial Saint," first lost to the Rising Sun Martial Saint of the Mu family of the Rising Sun Merchant Guild, and thus lost any connection with the title of "Strongest Martial Saint."

The subsequent appearance of the new "Strongest Martial Saint" Teng Qingshan, and the attainment of the Void Realm by "Mountain-Splitting Martial Saint" Cao Ya, who changed his name to "Mountain-Splitting War God," caused the Heavenly Wind War God to become dissatisfied with the Iron Sword Martial Saint's cultivation progress and began to exert pressure.

"Yes," replied the Iron Sword Martial Saint with a stern expression.

The God of War, Tianfeng, said coldly:

"This time, you will come with me to Nanshan City to witness the battle between the war gods. Perhaps this will inspire you."

The God of War, Tianfeng, was determined to cause trouble and disrupt the founding ceremony of the Martial Court by leaving the Northern Cold Domain and entering the Southern Mountain Domain, and by arriving in Southern Mountain City. He wanted to tarnish the Martial Court's prestige.

Tianfeng War God didn't intend to completely defeat Wuting. In his eyes, although the alliance between Pishan War God and Yunmeng War God was aimed at him, they were still two war gods. He was alone, and even though he had gone far in the Void Realm, he really had no confidence in fighting two against one.

Of course, if he wanted to leave, he was confident that no one could stop him.

The God of War of Yunmeng? He's no better than him.

A god of war who splits mountains? A newly crowned god of war? Come on, that's a stretch.

Xitang Domain, Yunmeng Ancient City.

Cao Ya stayed for a few days before leaving.

When they left, Teng Qingshan hadn't come out yet, probably because he hadn't found the Yunmeng White Fruit. It was a treasure of heaven and earth, one of the three great treasures of the Duanmu Continent, and it only grew in the Yunmeng Marsh, making it extremely precious.

However, Cao Ya was completely useless to the three great spiritual treasures of Duanmu Continent, so he didn't care about them at all.

He left Yunmeng Ancient City, his destination being Nanshan City. Along the way, he visited many cities and passed through villages.

If a martial court is truly established, in addition to suppressing disorder and reducing killing, it is necessary to issue decrees to improve the lives of ordinary people as much as possible.
