On this day, the martial arts world of Yunzhou was in turmoil.
The Divine Sword Sect has been destroyed!
This is a first-rate force with a great reputation in Yunzhou. It has a Martial Saint Ancestor in charge and many experts at the Divine Power Realm as its backbone.
Now, however, they were directly and forcefully suppressed by the Six Doors, and the only Martial Saint Ancestor died on the spot!
Then, overnight, the century-old foundation of the Divine Sword Sect was destroyed.
And all of this was because of one sentence from someone!
Meanwhile, the third envoy of the Blood God Cult has also been proven to have perished!
And this was all because someone drew their sword.
The martial arts world was immediately thrown into turmoil. After all, these were two martial saint-level masters, who could be considered founders of their own sects and would be honored guests in any faction.
And this person's identity was exposed thanks to the efforts of certain individuals.
That was Li Ming from Cangzhou.
This newly appointed constable of the Six Doors stirred up a storm as soon as he arrived in Yunzhou. The deaths of two martial saints, one was directly related to him, and the other was directly caused by him!
When this news spread, many people found it hard to believe, after all, for a martial artist with supernatural powers to kill a martial saint was nothing short of a miracle.
It is a sight that is rarely seen even once in thousands of years.
Many began to question whether the imperial court was resorting to any means to demonstrate its power.
However, some people have come forward to refute this claim, stating that they witnessed it with their own eyes that day, and that the traces at the scene were obvious to all.
Even some ordinary martial artists went to the scene, looking at the sword marks left behind, and tried to comprehend the way of the sword.
Believe it or not, someone actually figured it out later, and it became a popular story.
After this battle, many people believe that Li Ming can be ranked first on the list of human beings.
Even the current number one Wan Qiankun and number two Jiang Yuanba have not yet been reported to have killed a Martial Saint.
However, some people felt this was inappropriate. The two top experts on the Human Ranking actually had the combat power to contend with Martial Saints before, and Wan Qiankun had even defeated a Martial Saint. Now that he is in seclusion and cultivating, his strength must be even more terrifying, and he may soon complete the fourth step of Martial Saint.
We cannot allow Li Ming to ascend to the top simply because he directly killed the Martial Saint.
A group of people also began to suspect that Li Ming had been concealing his cultivation level and exaggerating his age.
Moreover, their background must be extraordinary. They must have reached the Divine Power Realm long ago, but on the surface they started as a lowly constable. They might even be a member of the imperial family.
Surprisingly, many people believe this claim.
Even some princes from other regions felt this was possible and began to speculate whether it was the illegitimate son secretly raised by the reclusive Emperor of Da Xuan.
...
The sky was clear and blue, and the sun blazed overhead.
Inside Kunwu Mountain Villa.
The first thing Li Ming did after returning to Kunwu Manor after killing the Martial Saint was...
This involved cooperating with Fan Fanglin to directly kill and imprison most of those who sided with Elder Peng Yang.
The cause of the early death of the eldest son of the Fan family has also been confirmed, with Peng Yang admitting that he was responsible.
Even the death of Fan Fanglin's grandfather was related to him.
Finally, with Li Ming's support, Fan Fanglin took the position of manor lord and announced some important news.
That is, the Six Doors will cooperate with Kunwu Manor!
At Fan Fanglin's insistence, Li Ming became an honorary elder of Kunwu Manor, which brought him many benefits.
It should be noted that Kunwu Manor is an established power with hundreds of years of history.
Although it has declined, it still has its foundation. There are more than a dozen pseudo-divine weapons in the armory, and they are all of good quality. It is said that Li Ming can take them out and use them at will.
However, Li Ming only took the bow and arrows he had used before, as well as the nice armor.
【Piercing Divine Bow】
[Low-grade pseudo-divine weapon]
[Entry]: [Breaking Through Void (Red), Strengthening Oneself (Red), Gathering Qi (Red), Thunderous Roar (Red), Qi Locking (Blue)]
【Piercing Illusion (Red)】: 【The arrow strikes like a dragon, capable of shattering illusions and determining life and death!】
Peerless Divine Arrow
[Mid-grade pseudo-divine weapon]
[Entry]: [Peerless (Pale Purple), Roaring Wind and Clouds (Red), Chasing Life Across a Thousand Miles (Red), Severing Gods and Stealing Souls (Red)]
【Peerless (Pale Purple)】: 【An arrow forged by chance, peerless and unmatched. Once fired, the arrow is destroyed, possessing the power to sever cause and effect and destroy all things.】
【Heavenly Mystic Armor】
[Mid-grade pseudo-divine weapon]
[Entry]: [Immune to water and fire (red), Invulnerable to all weapons (red), Capable of changing shape (red), Invulnerable to all poisons (red), Untainted by worldly dust (blue)]
Even when dealing with Blood Madman San, Li Ming was reluctant to use the Peerless Arrow.
After all, it's a one-time use pseudo-divine weapon, so it feels unnecessary to waste it on an opponent of this level.
In the end, it turned out to be pretty much as he expected; there was indeed no need to use it.
This Heavenly Profound Divine Armor is also quite good; it not only has excellent defensive capabilities but also provides good resistance to attacks from water, fire, and poison.
It can change its appearance at will, without having to wear a full suit of armor to attract attention, and it can also cleanse itself of dust, making it an extremely rare pseudo-divine weapon.
This shows the grandeur of Kunwu Mountain Villa.
Kunwu Manor still possesses the ability to forge pseudo-divine weapons. As long as there are enough materials, they can forge them, which is a continuous source of wealth.
The Six Doors of Yunzhou can now directly customize weapons at Kunwu Manor, paying only a certain handling fee and having priority for forging rights, which has brought considerable benefits to those within the Six Doors.
Finally, after a combination of kindness and coercion, Fan Fanglin secured his position as the head of the manor. With Li Ming, a powerful figure, in charge, no one else dared to utter a single word of dissent.
Having done this, Li Ming could consider the matter closed.
If Fan Fanglin is in trouble, he can ask someone to notify him, and he will come to help.
After the Divine Sword Sect was destroyed, the Six Doors sent some of the vast resources they seized to him.
Li Ming thus replenished his wealth once again. As a newly emerging first-class power, the Divine Sword Sect had an unknown amount of wealth in its reserves. However, Li Ming now needed a lot of resources to nurture the sword embryo.
The spoils of war captured earlier were basically all fed to the precious sword embryo, making it stronger.
"I need to transform my true essence, which requires a lot of elemental crystals. I didn't expect to have another glutton."
Li Ming shook his head, feeling as if he were raising a child.
The kids are all grown up, time to buy a house.
His foundation is too profound, and the quality of his Primordial True Qi is extremely high. To transform it into True Qi, he would need a lot of resources and time to work on it.
As a divine object of heaven and earth, the sword embryo is currently stuck at the pseudo-divine weapon level. It is unknown how many materials it will need to be upgraded to a true divine weapon.
"I didn't expect that the matter of Kunwu Manor would be resolved in just a few days."
Upon learning that Li Ming had killed the Martial Saint, Guan Xin knew the matter was settled and immediately rushed over.
He had previously considered whether to inform the family patriarch to come and help.
Considering Li Ming's pride, he originally thought he would bring up this idea after Li Ming suffered a setback, but it turned out that it was completely unnecessary.
"However, Brother Li, you still need to be careful of the Blood God Sect. This demonic sect has been rooted in Da Xuan for a long time, and there are countless experts among them. Every elder is a martial saint level expert, and the sect leader and vice sect leader are even first-rank martial saints. Even the imperial court can't do anything about them."
Guan Xin said solemnly.
This was not an exaggeration; the Blood God Cult was infamous and its reputation was so widespread in Da Xuan that it could frighten even a three-year-old child into silence.
Many evil sects and heretics in various states and regions have some connection with the Blood God Cult, which can be considered the source of all evil.
The Azure Demon Society, which Li Ming destroyed in his debut battle, had an unclear connection with the Blood God Cult.
“I understand what Brother Guan means, but killing a mere Martial Saint of the Demonic Sect is one thing, but if the Blood God Sect wants revenge, then… let them never return!”
Li Ming's gaze turned slightly cold.
A faint but palpable killing intent emanated from him, his sharp edge chilling to the bone.
The Blood God Cult and his karma are inextricably intertwined.
However, if he becomes even stronger, it's uncertain whether the Blood God Sect can withstand the consequences!
Hearing Li Ming's domineering speech, Guan Xin was also influenced by his confidence. He originally thought that the Blood God Sect was extremely terrifying, but now he thought it was true.
Isn't this just one of those rumored villainous forces?
Every legendary rise is inevitably accompanied by the downfall of a foolish force.
Based on Guan Xin's years of experience reading classic texts, Li Ming's rise to power was unstoppable, and the Blood God Cult might just be a stepping stone.
"Ahem, Brother Li, I have an idea, but I'm not sure if I should say it?"
Suddenly, Guan Xin said mysteriously.
"There's no need for us to hold back; let's just speak frankly."
Li Ming said calmly.
Guan Xin nodded and whispered:
"I have a younger sister who is exceptionally beautiful and famous. She also highly praises you. I wonder if you have any interest in her."
You have to trust my judgment. If my sister were unattractive, I definitely wouldn't betray my brother.
Li Ming rolled his eyes at him. Did this guy want to be his brother-in-law?
Guan Xin had no ill intentions; he simply hoped to get closer to Li Ming.
For these aristocratic families, such ideas are not uncommon. Sometimes, when they encounter some exceptionally talented rogue martial artists, they will propose marriage... or even have the artist marry into their family.
Of course, Li Ming's current status is naturally that of a man in a political marriage.
The Guan family is a renowned family in Cangzhou, with considerable strength and several Martial Saint experts guarding the area, which can protect Li Ming from harm.
With Li Ming's talent, it won't be long before he reaches the top, and the Guan family will also be able to advance further as a result.
It can be considered mutual assistance.
