Chapter 260: The Remnants of the Great Zhou

After Nie Zhangqing succeeded in the challenge that day, he left Wudi City, entered the Bodhisattva Temple, and returned to Nanjun.

Therefore, Du Longyang couldn't find Nie Zhangqing outside Wudi City.

Du Longyang couldn't find Nie Zhangqing, which meant he couldn't communicate with Master Lu. How could he not go crazy? The Immortal Slaughter Plan was imminent, and Lu Fan's help was very important. After all, it was not easy to find a fighter of Lu Fan's level.

Because of the changes in the Demon Realm, top powerhouses like Du Longyang had to advance their plan to kill the immortals.

Beiluo, the island in the middle of the lake.

While Du Longyang was extremely anxious, Lu Fan was feeling the power of transformation. Although the change this time was not as huge as the improvement of his Qi Refining level, it was still a transformation after all.

The strength of the soul and the strength of the body both broke through the thousand level.

Both spiritual awareness and strength have been greatly improved. Although there has not been a qualitative change, it is much stronger than before.

At least, Lu Fan himself has a clear feeling and understanding.

…

Imperial capital.

As night fell, the prosperous imperial capital seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep.

After the fall of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the former capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty was on the verge of collapse. However, after Xiliang took control of the capital, the city finally recovered.

Quiet Imperial Capital.

In a not-too-narrow alley, two groups of people gathered here.

There were fluctuations of spiritual energy flowing, and it was obvious that there were cultivators among these two groups of people.

These two gangs are gangster forces active in the darkness of the Imperial Capital. The Black Dragon Gang and the Northern Tiger Gang can be said to be the two most powerful gangs in the Imperial Capital today.

Occupies a huge territory.

The leader of the Northern Tiger Gang is a very talented practitioner. After just a short period of practice, he has already reached the peak of Qi Dan. It is precisely because of this talent that the young man, who was originally just a gangster, has suddenly become the leader of the Northern Tiger Gang.

He even took over the restaurants and brothels on several long streets in the imperial capital.

As for the Black Dragon Gang, like the Northern Tiger Gang, it is also a new force.

Liu Yuanhao, the young leader of the Black Dragon Gang, transformed the original Black Dragon Gang of only a few people into a large gang with hundreds of members in a short period of time.

The recent battle was a battle between two major gangs.

They were afraid of attracting the attention of the Xiliang Army, which now controls the Imperial Capital, so they agreed to fight in this alley.

The moon is like a hook and the night is gray.

The gangsters in the alley were all holding cold weapons. As for the weapons, there were of course many kinds, including axes, long knives, and even hoes.

Liu Yuanhao was dressed in a black robe and looked indifferently at the Northern Tiger Gang across the alley.

The leader of the Northern Tiger Gang also looked at him with a sneer.

This confrontation between the two major gangs will determine who can completely unify the chaotic gangs under the imperial capital and become the true underground emperor.

Both Liu Yuanhao and the leader of the Northern Tiger Gang are ambitious. The victorious side will be able to command hundreds of gangs, large and small, in the capital, and have a lot of room for maneuver.

Basically, all the restaurants and brothels in the imperial capital are under the control of this force.

Although not as rich as a country, it is no problem for him to become a hegemon.

Liu Yuanhao raised his hand and flicked his fingers forward gently.

The next moment, the Black Dragon Gang members behind him rushed out, waving their weapons, their blood boiling.

The Northern Tiger Gang also rushed out shouting and killing.

The number of people on both sides was about the same, and soon they collided in the alley.

The collision of murderous aura and the collision of weapons also made a heavy sound.

The blood splattered in an instant, looking extremely cold in the cold night.

The Northern Tiger Gang took the initiative.

As soon as he moved, violent spiritual energy suddenly swept up.

At the peak of Qi Dan, even the former martial arts masters would not dare to confront him with such strength! He was like a real tiger.

Many members of the Black Dragon Gang coughed up blood and flew backwards when they were touched by it.

This battle was brutal. Late at night, a bloody fight between the two gangs broke out silently in the alley, and the blood dyed the inside of the alley red.

Liu Yuanhao was wrapped in a black robe and smiled coldly.

Like the Black Dragon Gang, the Northern Tiger Gang is a powerful gang that rose to prominence in a short period of time.

The Northern Tiger Gang viewed the Black Dragon Gang as their biggest rival, but the Black Dragon Gang led by Liu Yuanhao did not take the Black Dragon Gang seriously at all.

Liu Yuanhao was ambitious, and he had a huge ambition.

The Northern Tiger Gang is just a stepping stone for him to realize his ambitions.

"kill!"

Liu Yuanhao growled.

He opened his hands, and white flames burned in his palms.

In the Black Dragon Gang.

Suddenly, several men in black robes took off their black robes, revealing a cold look. There was a black scale on their foreheads, and a powerful aura burst out.

This gave the leader of the Beihu Gang a shock.

He saw the black scales on these people's foreheads and his eyes narrowed.

When he was weak, he had seen such black scales.

"Black Dragon Guard?!"

The leader of the Northern Tiger Gang roared in shock.

This roar quieted the battle shouts in the entire alley.

Many people turned their heads and looked over in disbelief.

Black Dragon Guard? The Black Dragon Guard of the Great Zhou Dynasty? The remnants of the Great Zhou Dynasty? ! "Black Dragon Gang... Black Dragon Guard..."

The leader of the Beihu Gang stepped onto the ground and began to retreat.

The fear that had once dominated the Black Dragon Guards began to spread within him.

Liu Yuanhao smiled coldly.

As his strength grew, these Black Dragon Guards in hiding finally recognized him and began to join his Black Dragon Gang.

Let’s work together for Liu Yuanhao’s great goal.

"Surrender, or...die."

Liu Yuanhao, Tao.

His eyes under the black robe were extremely cold and exuded an evil look.

He controlled the flames, and the flames jumped down, exuding an extremely cold breath.

The corpses on the ground seemed to come back to life under the leaping flames. Four of them, one by one, staggered and climbed up from the ground crookedly.

Controlling the dead?! The young leader of the Black Dragon Gang has such power? The leader of the Northern Tiger Gang's heart shrank, and he suddenly felt a little cold.

Although Liu Yuanhao was not as strong as him, but... this method made the leader of the Beihu Gang feel terrified.

In addition, there are those powerful Black Dragon Guards, who were once the first batch of practitioners when the era of practitioners began. These people are extremely powerful.

The leader of the Northern Tiger Gang had already intended to retreat.

There are not many Black Dragon Guards, only four left in total.

There seemed to be black scales inlaid on their foreheads, and the black scales spread to their entire bodies, making these people look like they were possessed by a black dragon.

The evil black dragon of the previous Zhou Dynasty left an indelible impression on these people.

The members of the Northern Tiger Gang have lost their will to fight.

They dropped their weapons one after another, held their heads and knelt on the ground.

The leader of the Northern Tiger Gang felt that the situation was moving away from him.

The Northern Tiger Gang, which had always been invincible and swept through all the gangs, seemed to be completely suppressed at this moment.

The leader of the Northern Tiger Gang did not want to surrender, but all of his trusted subordinates knelt on the ground.

The leader of the Beihu Gang was heartbroken.

He roared.

"Surrender or die?"

There were white flames floating around Liu Yuanhao's body. He looked at the leader of the Beihu Gang calmly and said.

If a person at the peak of Qidan could be used by him, Liu Yuanhao would not want to kill him.

Such masters are rare.

The leader of the Beihu Gang roared angrily, but as he roared, the sound gradually faded away.

He knelt on the ground in front of Liu Yuanhao.

He didn't want to die, so he chose to surrender.

Liu Yuanhao laughed.

Tonight, all the gangs in the capital are under the jurisdiction of the Black Dragon Gang.

The four Black Dragon Guards landed behind Liu Yuanhao, their auras rising and falling.

"Thank you for your hard work, uncles."

Liu Yuanhao's mouth corners curled up slightly.

"I heard that the Overlord is not in the Imperial Palace..."

"The main army of Xiliang is not in the Imperial Capital. The Imperial Capital is now governed by a woman."

"The Overlord conquered the world with great difficulty, but he actually lost it to a woman? We should prepare well... summon the former troops of the Great Zhou Dynasty. We... the Black Dragon Guards will restore the glory of the Great Zhou Dynasty!"

Liu Yuanhao raised his head, looked at the dark clouds and said.

The leader of the Beihu Gang, who was kneeling on the ground, trembled, raised his head in disbelief and looked at Liu Yuanhao.

He didn't expect that the Black Dragon Gang had such ambitions.

"From today on, my Black Dragon Gang will no longer be a gang of thugs. We will become a powerful force, a force of cultivators!"

"We inherit the will of the Black Dragon! We represent the glory of the Great Zhou!"

"From today on, our Black Dragon Gang will be officially renamed the Black Dragon Cult!"

Liu Yuanhao spread out his hands and said with great heroic spirit.

Flames one after another floated out from the corpses controlled by Liu Yuanhao.

It quickly penetrated into Liu Yuanhao's body.

Liu Yuanhao's breath swelled up, and the next moment, the white flame grew stronger.

A vortex of fire suddenly appeared above his head.

The eyes of the four Black Dragon Guards and the leader of the Northern Tiger Gang who was kneeling on the ground narrowed.

"Ti...Tizo!"

…

Beijun, Daxuan Kingdom.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

In the Great Xuanxue Palace, Tan Tai Xuan began to visit and observe.

After so much preparation, the Daxuan Academy was finally established. He bought a mansion from a noble family and improved it into the academy.

The facilities of the academy are very good and there are many students who sign up.

However, when Tan Tai Xuan visited, he still showed a look of worry.

The students of the academy not only learn cultivation methods, but also learn the theories and knowledge of various schools of thought, in addition to these, they also learn riding, archery and combat.

The theories of the Hundred Schools of Thought were not difficult to spread because there were books preserved from the Great Zhou Dynasty's library.

However, the practice of cultivation and fighting made Tan Tai Xuan very dissatisfied.

Because, it has no special features and is still the same method of training the Xuanwu Guards.

What is the significance of building such a school?

What is the difference between the practitioners trained by the army and the practitioners trained by the army? When the time comes, we will compete with the Overlord's army.

Isn't it just a competition between Xiang's army and Xuanwu guards? This is not what Tan Taixuan wants to see.

Mo Ju, wearing a crane cloak, slowly followed Tan Tai Xuan.

Tan Tai Xuan looked at Mo Ju and said earnestly, "Ju, I did not create the academy to copy the Xuanwu Guards. Cultivation should be diversified, not just one mode."

"Do you know Bai Yujing?"

"Young Master Lu is the one who has foresight. His maid can make pills, which is a kind of practice. The former Tianji family has become the Tianji Pavilion, which specializes in deduction, which is also a kind of practice. There is also the Jiju Pavilion, which focuses on refining equipment, which is also a kind of practice."

“Practice is rich and varied, not just about practicing hard.”

"In fact, we don't have to worry about the battle with the Overlord's army. After all, one year is too short. If we lose, we lose... What can Overlord prove if he wins?"

"However, in the future, the practitioners of our Great Xuan Nation will be diverse and shine in various industries. This is the original intention of practice."

Tan Tai Xuan Dao.

Mo Ju waved his feather fan lightly, a little dazed. He didn't expect that Tan Tai Xuan could see so clearly.

"Your Majesty, the master has personally traveled around the world, collecting the strengths of hundreds of schools of cultivation. Now that Baiyujing has opened its library, the master should have gone there. When the master returns, he will develop and cultivate the strengths of hundreds of schools of cultivation in a targeted manner."

Mo Ju said.

Mo Beike's views are actually somewhat similar to Tan Tai Xuan's.

However, Mo Beike was more ambitious. He felt that spiritual practice had more development prospects than the various schools of thought in the past.

It is said that the era of the Hundred Schools of Thought has come to an end.

but……

Is it really over?

Mo Beike said that as long as there are people in the world, the various schools of thought will not disappear.

As long as the ideas remain, the era of the Hundred Schools of Thought will continue to exist.

Tan Tai Xuan nodded slightly.

"I hope so."

Mo Ju waved his feather fan and looked at Tan Tai Xuan curiously, "Your Majesty, what happened to those invading alien races?"

Speaking of the war between foreign races, Tan Tai Xuan couldn't help but straighten his back and smiled.

"Those alien races from the other side of the desert are indeed very strong, especially their military formations. Unfortunately... they came at the wrong time, or were born at the wrong time."

Tan Tai Xuan smiled with some complacency.

"The Xuanwu Guards are an army of cultivators. These alien races face the army of cultivators just like we once faced the disciples of Baiyujing..."

“The ending speaks for itself.”

"We captured nearly half of their army, and drove the remaining horses back to the endless desert."

"We seized all their supplies and gear. Without them, they would not be able to survive the desert with only the water in their water bags."

Tan Tai Xuan Dao.

He said it indifferently, but he didn't care at all.

After all, those who invaded Tianhan Pass were alien races. Since they came, they must be prepared to die.

"I once thought that the only enemies outside of the Great Zhou were the Five Barbarians. I never expected that in addition to the Five Barbarians, there were actually such terrifying foreign races lurking in the world. If it weren't for the advent of the Age of Cultivators... it would have been an absolute disaster."

Mo Ju shook his head and sighed.

Tan Tai Xuan nodded: "So, we have to become stronger, not only ourselves but also our descendants. Only when our descendants are strong, Da Xuan will become stronger!"

…

In the vast desert.

The dust is rolling.

The sparse team trudged through the desert. They took difficult steps, leaving footprints in the sand, but the footprints were quickly swallowed up by the wind.

King Alex walked in the front.

King Ali, who was once full of vigor and vitality, was in a very miserable state.

His lips were cracked, so he untied the water bag and poured water into his mouth. After pouring for a long time, only a small drop of water dripped down with difficulty.

King Alex's throat rolled.

Behind him, there was another plop sound.

A Marton soldier fainted due to extreme lack of water.

The crowd had already become numb, and no one made any move.

Their water bags were all empty, and the fate of this Marton soldier would most likely be their future fate.

King Alex was somewhat unwilling, so he clenched his fists, but then let go dejectedly.

"Practitioners..."

King Alex shook his head.

The invincible army of Marton suffered a crushing defeat in front of an ancient country.

However, what made King Alex despair was that he learned that there was a stronger country in that ancient kingdom.

Those powerful men who were like gods could completely tear apart the military formation that even the most powerful generals could not break with just one move.

What a terrifying power that was! In this battle, King Ali was not wrongly defeated.

He conquered so many countries that his heart became a little swelled.

Now, he has suffered a failure, which has undermined his confidence.

Now, the supplies have been confiscated.

They couldn't even get out of this vast desert alive.

They need water.

Without water, they would surely die.

However, according to the original route, unless they get out of the desert, there will be no water.

King Ali continued to trek, and one soldier after another fell to the ground and was swallowed by the yellow sand.

The number of soldiers behind King Alex was dwindling.

Finally, the powerful King Alex also fell.

The soldier supported his body.

suddenly.

far away.

A general from the Kingdom of Marton came trudging over excitedly.

His face was full of surprise and he shouted excitedly.

"king!"

“There’s an oasis!”

King Ali, who had been looking sick, suddenly had bright eyes, as if he were regaining consciousness.

He got up.

Standing on a mound in the desert, looking into the distance.

But in the distance, there was a green land just as the general had said.

It is so exciting to see a touch of green in the yellow light.

That's an oasis!

An oasis in the desert.

If there is an oasis, there must be a water source! King Alex and his soldiers were all excited, as if they had unlimited strength.

They trudged towards the oasis.
