Chapter 317 Killing Zhou Liu, the King Has No Regrets
Beijun, Tailing.
Xue Tao walked out of the Qinglong Dragon Gate, covered in blood, and arrived at the top of Tailing Mountain.
"Your Majesty, the matter has been settled. The Black Dragon Cult has been defeated. The Overlord is unrivaled in bravery and strength. He has killed the seventh-level golden elixir on the human list with one punch."
Xue Tao knelt on one knee and said seriously.
Tan Tai Xuan put down the teacup in his hand, took three or two steps forward, and helped him up.
Xue Tao couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, the Overlord is so powerful that no one in the world can stop him."
What he meant was that Xiliang was, after all, a strong rival of Daxuan, and it was unclear whether Tan Tai Xuan's sending troops to help was a good thing or a bad thing.
Tan Tai Xuan paced on the top of the mountain, looking at the Great Xuan Academy below with a deep gaze, but he did not answer Xue Tao's words.
After a long silence, Xue Tao found this weird atmosphere difficult to endure.
Finally, Tan Tai Xuan spoke, but the problem had nothing to do with Xiliang.
"The leader of the Black Dragon Cult, Liu Yuanhao, seems to be alive. I heard that the Black Dragon Cult is the remnant of the Black Dragon Guards, and has some relationship with our Great Xuan..."
"Give orders to send people to keep a close eye on the situation in the Great Mysterious Territory. Once the followers of the Black Dragon Cult enter the Great Mysterious Territory, send troops to attack them immediately."
"The world originally maintained a delicate balance, but the Black Dragon Cult has muddied this clear water. What I hate most is people who stir up trouble..."
"Besides, if Daxuan sends troops, the Black Dragon Cult will definitely bear a grudge against us, so there is no need to hesitate. Rather than letting the Black Dragon Cult come to attack me, I'd rather kill them first."
"If you encounter the Black Dragon Cult, beat them to death!"
Tan Tai Xuan Dao.
Upon hearing this, Xue Tao stood solemnly.
"I obey your orders!"
Afterwards, Xue Tao bowed, retreated step by step, and left the top of Tailing Mountain.
Tan Tai Xuan's order to severely attack the Black Dragon Cult made Xue Tao excited.
After Xue Tao left.
Tan Tai Xuan stood on the top of the mountain, his eyes frowning.
He looked towards the east, and a gentle breeze blew, ruffling his robe.
There was a faint feeling that a storm was about to come.
"Black Dragon Cult..."
"Tianyuan exotic land."
Tan Tai Xuan exhaled slowly. This world, which was like a fish pond, was about to become muddy.
…
South County.
Tang Xiansheng was watering the flowers in the back garden. He picked up a wooden bucket, scooped a spoonful of water from it, and gently watered the flowers.
Tang Guo was sitting on a wooden chair, eating some fruit.
Suddenly, the sound of footsteps was heard outside the yard.
A Southern Army commander wearing armor stepped into the courtyard.
"Prefect."
The commander knelt on one knee and said respectfully.
"You're back?"
Tang Xiansheng didn't look back, but continued to scoop a spoonful of water and pour it on the flowers.
"The Overlord displayed his divine power, the third-class sequence of Dao was extremely terrifying, and he killed the seventh-level golden elixir on the human list with a punch. The Black Dragon Cult escaped from the Imperial Capital, and Xiliang won a great victory."
The commander of the Southern Army recounted the situation of the turmoil in the imperial capital.
Tang Xiansheng finally put down the wooden barrel.
"He actually killed a person who is on the Human Rankings and is a 7th Rank Golden Core."
Tang Xiansheng put his hands behind his back, paced slowly, returned to the rocking chair, and lay down comfortably.
"I wonder what the attitude of the forces in the Tianyuan foreign land will be..."
"The dead man was a disciple from one of the four major forces in the foreign land?"
Tang Xiansheng asked.
The commander seemed to have known that Tang Xiansheng would ask this question, and immediately told him what he had found out: "Zhou Liu, the eldest senior brother of the Cang Jian Sect, has reached the seventh level of the Golden Core, and is known as the genius who has the greatest hope of leading the Cang Jian Sect to become a first-class force in the Tianyuan Foreign Land."
When Tang Xiansheng heard this, his eyes flashed slightly.
"I heard that in the foreign land, the four major forces are called holy places, and other forces obey the orders of the four major forces. The Cangjian Sect may seek justice from the four major holy places."
"However, there is a greater possibility that the Cang Jian Sect will become a pawn pushed forward by the Four Sacred Grounds."
"A chess piece to test Bai Yujing's attitude."
Tang Xiansheng said slowly, as if he was talking to himself.
But no matter what, Tang Xiansheng was very clear that this world... was going to be a little chaotic.
After a long time.
Tang Xiansheng looked at the commander who was kneeling on the ground and said slowly: "Go to Wolong Ridge. The world is going to be in chaos. Let Yi Mo return."
The commander was slightly stunned.
However, he still bowed and retreated.
Tang Guo, who was sitting on a chair and eating fruit, couldn't help but brighten up her eyes.
"Brother is coming back?"
For a moment, I was so happy that I forgot to eat the fruit.
Tang Xiansheng reached out and rubbed Tang Guo's head.
…
Origin Lake.
Island in the middle of the lake.
Lu Fan, who was setting up the "Yin Yang Game", was suddenly shocked.
A line of system prompts popped up in front of his eyes.
"Congratulations to the host for completing the side quest 'There is no more Baiyujing in the world', leaving behind a legend that the world reveres, and obtaining the reward 'Heaven-covering Array'."
Hearing this, Lu Fan paused in his move and raised his eyebrows.
He threw the chess piece into the chess box, leaned back against the Thousand Blade Chair, and placed his palm on the gauntlet.
"Have you completed the side quest?"
Lu Fan seemed to be thinking about something.
My heart was moved.
A plan for the formation suddenly emerged in his mind.
The name of the formation is "Futian", which sounds very grand.
This was the first time that Lu Fan learned the art of formation from the system.
Before, when Lu Fan used formations, he used the runes on the preaching platform to set up the formations, relying on his own understanding to activate the formations.
For a moment, Lu Fan felt a little expectant and curious.
"Heaven Covering Formation: One of the Four Heaven Punishing Formations, an Earth-level defensive formation."
Lu Fan looked at the system's introduction to the formation and his brows furrowed.
"The Four Heaven-Slaying Formations, this is actually just one formation... one formation is at the Earth level."
Lu Fan took a deep breath.
What level of formation is the four Zhutian formations after they are assembled?
Moreover, the most important thing is that Lu Fan found that this Heaven Covering Formation only said that it was Earth Grade, but did not say what grade it was. In other words, the strength of this Heaven Covering Formation depends on the level of the person who set up the formation? Lu Fan stroked the Youxuan ring, thinking a lot in his mind.
He put away the Reiatsu chessboard.
His mind sank into the preaching platform, and like a child who had discovered a new toy, he began to study the Heaven-Covering Formation.
Inside the preaching platform.
Lu Fan's robe floated as he sat upright on the Bagua formation platform.
The operation method of the "Futian Formation" emerged in my mind.
"Qian, Dui, Li, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Gen, Kun..."
Lu Fan recited in his mouth.
Clouds rise and wind surges.
The Bagua runes continued to circle along his body, and began to form a sky-covering formation.
It was not difficult. With Lu Fan's current soul strength, after failing more than a dozen times, he finally succeeded in constructing the formation model.
However, what surprised Lu Fan was...
This formation actually requires an earth-level spiritual tool to serve as the center of the formation.
At this time, Lu Fan suddenly realized something.
It turns out that the power of the Futian Formation depends on the arrangement of the spiritual tools at the center of the formation.
This made Lu Fan fall into solemnity for a moment.
Because, with his current level of weapon refining, he didn't know if he could create an earth-level spiritual tool...
In short, setting up this sky-covering formation was a huge challenge for him.
…
West County.
On the banks of Dongyan River.
Luo Mingsang stood there, her skirt fluttering in the wind, looking towards Longmen.
Finally, after seeing Overlord and the Xiliang army that originally guarded the imperial capital retreat from Longmen, Luo Mingsang's tense heart suddenly relaxed.
I'm glad you're okay.
The Black Dragon Cult dared to take action even though they knew that Overlord had already comprehended the third-level sequence of Taoism. It was obvious that they had a backup plan. Sure enough, Luo Mingsang soon learned that Liu Yuanhao had colluded with the genius on the Human Ranking to deal with Overlord.
Fortunately, Overlord has now returned alive.
Overlord walked out of the Dragon Gate and couldn't help but smile when he saw Luo Mingsang.
Make arrangements for the army returning from the Imperial Capital.
He rewarded Xu Chu with a lot of spirit stones to help him heal his injuries.
Overlord and Luo Mingsang had a detailed discussion.
Luo Mingsang was fine, and the Overlord felt relieved.
"I killed Zhou Liu... things are not over so quickly."
The Overlord sat in the big tent and said seriously.
"Behind Zhou Liu, there is a sect in the Tianyuan foreign land called the Cangjian Sect... Their sect leader is a powerful Yuanying realm expert."
"Nascent Soul is a realm above the Heavenly Lock."
"Among the Five Phoenixes today, except for the hidden Bai Yujing, no one is at the Nascent Soul stage..."
Overlord said.
Inside the big tent, many generals of Xiliang Kingdom gasped.
"Your Majesty, are you saying that this Nascent Soul Realm expert will avenge his disciple?!"
"Your Majesty, there is no coward in Xiliang. If he dares to come, Xiliang's 100,000 cavalry will not be vegetarians!"
The generals clapped their hands and said solemnly.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Worry appeared on Luo Mingsang's brow.
She is not as optimistic as these generals.
Although Overlord has comprehended the third-order sequence of Taoism, can he really defeat someone in the Nascent Soul stage?
Just like Ti Zang... can he defeat Tian Suo? It's hard to say...
The higher the realm, the more difficult it is to fight the enemy across borders.
Overlord seemed to know this, too.
He raised his hand and pressed lightly.
“Although I have provoked a Yuanying realm cultivator, I do not regret it… Although Zhou Liu was bewitched by the Black Dragon Cult, since he is my enemy, I will not be merciful. If I am soft-hearted, I will be the one to die.”
"Therefore, I have no regrets in killing Zhou Liu!"
"However...if that Yuanying realm cultivator from the Cangjian Sect really comes to kill us, I will move the battlefield to the boundless desert."
"If I die, you should keep a low profile and don't let Xiliang be destroyed."
Overlord said seriously.
There was unexpectedly some sadness in his words, causing many generals' eyes to turn red.
"Your Majesty! There are no cowards in Xiliang. We will live and die with you!"
Xu Chu slammed the table and stood up, yelling.
The Overlord glared at him.
Xu Chu exhaled through his nostrils and slowly sat down.
"You guys don't obey my orders?"
The Overlord glanced at everyone in the tent, his eyes sharp and oppressive.
Everyone was speechless.
"This king is not stupid. The appearance of this Nascent Soul Realm cultivator is most likely a test from the Tianyuan Alien Realm."
Overlord said slowly.
Luo Mingsang's long eyelashes trembled when she heard this.
"Probing?"
Being a smart person, she guessed it quickly.
"Are the four holy places in Tianyuan Foreign Land trying to test Baiyujing's attitude?"
Luo Mingsang was extremely solemn.
As soon as the words came out.
The atmosphere in the big tent suddenly became gloomy.
"Young Master Lu took Bai Yujing into hiding, but it is hard to say whether he really hid himself and really didn't care about worldly affairs..."
“Compared to the overseas Tianyuan foreign land, the Wuhuang cultivation world is too weak.”
“Once I lose, and Young Master Lu doesn’t take action… perhaps, in the future, the lives of Five Phoenix practitioners will become increasingly difficult.”
"Perhaps this is also the tempering that Young Master Lu left for the Five Phoenix cultivation world..."
"However, I will still stop this battle!"
The Overlord clenched his fists, and there was a hint of fighting spirit sweeping through the tent.
A heavy atmosphere lingered and the generals didn't know what to say.
"Damn it, on what basis... If this Nascent Soul Realm wants to cause trouble, he should go to the Black Dragon Cult leader Liu Yuanhao. It was he who instigated Zhou Liu to kill the king! Can the king just let me be killed? How unreasonable!"
Xu Chu, with bandages wrapped around his burly body, said with some reluctance.
"reason?"
"The bigger the fist, the more right it is."
Overlord glanced at Xu Chu.
"Besides... Zhou Liu did die under my fist."
"Moreover, if I die, the Nascent Soul Realm may not spare Liu Yuanhao of the Black Dragon Sect. Everything... is just a matter of time."
The way of the overlord.
Not much more was said.
The Overlord soon dispersed.
After he talked to Luo Mingsang, he left Xiliang.
We arrived at Wolong Ridge through Longmen.
He came to a small mountain outside Wolong Ridge. The mountain was not a blessed place and the spiritual energy there was only average.
However, among the current powerful forces in the world, Tianji Pavilion, one of the four pavilions, is above them.
He climbed up the stone stairs step by step to the top.
Lu Mu tapped his wooden stick and looked at the Overlord climbing up the stone steps.
"King Xiang, long time no see."
Lu Mu smiled.
Behind him, the veiled Luo Mingyue looked at Overlord with mixed emotions.
Overlord smiled and bowed to Lu Mu.
The two discussed for a long time on the top of the mountain.
Afterwards, Lu Mudui asked Overlord to take Luo Mingyue away from Tianji Pavilion.
Before leaving, the Overlord asked Lu Mu for a divination.
However, Lu Mudui shook his head: "Fortune-telling, the Overlord should not look for me."
When the Overlord heard this, his expression froze.
Then, he turned and left with Luo Mingyue who was holding the pipa.
The wind on the top of the mountain blows gently and it is a bit cool.
The beautiful woman walked over and glanced at Lu Mudui.
"You just let him take Mingyue away like that?"
The beautiful woman said.
"He won't do anything bad to Mingyue. He brought Mingyue back to Xiliang...just for some protection."
Lu Mu looked at him with a deep and complicated gaze and said.
"Assure?"
The beautiful woman was a little confused.
"After all, Mingyue has been instructed by Young Master Lu and is considered half a disciple of Baiyujing. If she were in Xiliang, once Overlord was defeated, the strong men from the Tianyuan foreign land would be a little afraid and would not dare to... start a massacre in Xiliang."
Lu Mu sighed.
"The Overlord is making arrangements for his afterlife in advance... to prevent any disaster before it happens."
The beautiful woman was stunned when she heard this: "Will the Overlord be defeated?"
Lu Mu looked at the beautiful woman as if she was a fool.
"Do you think the Overlord is Young Master Lu?"
"The leader of the Cangjian Sect, Zhou Haisheng, is a veteran Yuanying Realm cultivator. The gap between Yuanying and Tiansuo is even greater than the gap between Tiansuo and Ti Zang..."
"Zhou Liu is Zhou Haisheng's grandson, and he is also the hope for the rise of the Cangjian Sect. But now, his grandson has been killed, and the hope for the rise of the sect has been strangled. Do you think Zhou Haisheng... will show mercy to the Overlord?"
"I read a fortune-teller's divination a while ago, and it is estimated that Overlord will face great danger in this battle."
Lu Mu sighed and shook his head.
Overlord brought Luo Mingyue to Xiliang, and soon he left again.
His time was running out. He could feel that dark clouds were gathering in the east of the continent.
Luo Mingsang took Luo Mingyue's hand. The two sisters hadn't seen each other for a long time and felt a little strange. However, blood is thicker than water after all, so they soon started chatting together.
The Overlord came to the secret realm of Wolong Ridge.
Lu Mudui asked him to find someone, and Ba Wang actually guessed who this person was.
Looking at the mysterious and magnificent Wolongling Secret Realm, which is a secret realm arranged by immortals, the Overlord can actually choose to stay in the Wolongling Secret Realm for the rest of his life.
In the secret realm, you are not allowed to fight, even if you are in the Nascent Soul stage.
However, he was worried about Xiliang.
Therefore, he must face this catastrophe.
Zhong Nan, Xiao Yue'er and others walked out of the second prison gate, and saw Overlord with a somewhat grim look on their faces.
The previous confrontation in the Imperial Garden of the Imperial Capital had brought the temperature between the two sides to freezing point.
The Overlord sat cross-legged in the secret realm of Wolong Ridge.
I waited for almost a day.
The Overlord's eyes suddenly lit up.
He saw a figure with his chest and belly exposed, walking out of the second prison gate with a step that showed no regard for anyone.
This person is none other than...
The one who comprehended the fourth-level sequence of Taoism... Mo Tianyu!
PS: I was busy with some things today, and I will start writing immediately after I’m done. There will be another update in the evening.
