Chapter 574: War Court Myth, Facing Fate

In the early morning, the sun pierced through the ruined imperial city filled with smoke. Corpses could be seen everywhere, and the broken walls were stained with blood.

Bai Sheng, covered in dust, stood on the ruins, looking at the tragic scenes in all directions. His pupils trembled and he dared not accept what he saw.

The city that seemed the most prosperous to him was reduced to ruins overnight. He was even more moved when he saw that only half of the mask of the swordsman was left.

"how so……"

Bai Sheng talked to himself, his voice trembling.

He felt like he was in a nightmare, a nightmare from which he could not wake up.

He looked up into the distance, then he rushed down and began to look for Gu An everywhere. When he came across a corpse along the way, he would force himself to look through it, suppressing his fear and nausea.

The sun continued to rise, and until noon, he still hadn't found Gu An, and his hands were covered in blood.

Exhausted, he knelt down on the street, and he didn't even have the strength to raise his head.

After searching for a whole morning, he no longer felt any fear in his heart, only numbness.

A figure appeared in front of him. He saw the other person's shoes, but was unable to speak.

Su Jin looked down at Bai Sheng and sighed, "Didn't you say that you would rather die in the mouth of a monster than live a dull life? Last night you saw a monster that most mortals will never see in their lifetime. Shouldn't you be thankful?"

Bai Sheng lowered his head and asked weakly, "Are you also such a monster..."

"I'm not so bloodthirsty, but I have killed humans and monsters." Su Jin replied, and this answer made Bai Sheng fall into silence.

Su Jin continued, "Since you have witnessed the extraordinary power, come and practice cultivation with me in the future."

"Help me...find...Brother Gu..."

Bai Sheng said this with difficulty. After saying these five words, he completely lost his strength, fainted, and fell forward. Fortunately, Su Jin supported him in time.

Su Jin hugged Bai Sheng with a smile on her face. She had been fantasizing about this action for thousands of years and finally she did it.

"Don't worry, I will definitely protect you in this life, just like you risked your life to protect me ten thousand years ago."

Su Jin whispered to herself, she picked up Bai Sheng, and then flew away.

Her spiritual awareness enveloped the entire city and then continued to spread outward.

"Strange, where on earth did he go? Was he eaten by a monster?"

Su Jin muttered to herself in confusion, but she didn't think much about it. After all, she had already helped Bai Sheng look for it, so if he couldn't find it, it wasn't her fault.

She held Bai Sheng in her arms and flew towards the distance, disappearing into the horizon in the blink of an eye.

The dark clouds in the sky have dispersed, and the sun is shining on this ruined imperial city. Faintly, there is a trace of foul air dissipating.

…

Inside the Wushi Daochang.

In the courtyard, Gu An was lying in a rocking chair reading a book, and from time to time he instructed Shen Zhen on how to operate the Taiqing True Fire under the refining cauldron.

Ten years have passed since I separated from Bai Sheng.

Shen Zhen turned his head to look at Gu An and asked, "Gu An, what is the origin of Dao Ting? It is widely known in Qiankun Sect that Dao Ting will become a sect that unifies the world."

Gu An answered casually: "The Dao Court, like the Holy Court, was once the overlord of a vast world. After the Great Thousand World was reshaped, they developed very rapidly. Of course, they were able to do this because there was a powerful being with profound Taoism behind them."

"How strong is he? How is he compared to you?" Shen Zhen asked with a raised eyebrow.

Gu An smiled and said, "It's hard to say since we haven't fought each other before."

"Well, from what you said, that person is definitely not your opponent."

Shen Zhen rolled her eyes at Gu An. Gu An could hear her inner voice. This girl admired him very much and was amazed at his strength, but her tone was different.

Gu An flipped through the pages of the book while saying, "But it's too early for Dao Court to unify the Tianling World."

"How far into the future can you see?" Shen Zhen asked curiously.

In fact, she was extremely curious about Gu An's cultivation, but she had been forbearing and was too embarrassed to ask. If she could find a chance to test it, she would naturally not let it go.

"Don't ask, the secret cannot be revealed."

Gu An said perfunctorily, then he turned over and faced Shen Zhen with his back.

Shen Zhen snorted, then concentrated on comprehending the Taoist treasure in the refining cauldron.

The courtyard fell into silence, with only the occasional sound of wind blowing through.

The Three Pure Ones True Fire under the refining cauldron swayed continuously, as if it would never go out. As it swayed, time passed quickly.

Spring goes and autumn comes.

Five hundred years passed.

Five hundred years later, Gu An was still lying on this chair, and Shen Zhen was still sitting in front of the refining cauldron.

Gu An stood up and put the Travels of the Green Hero into his arms. He picked up the Qinghong Sword and pulled it out of the scabbard.

The sound of the sword being unsheathed startled Shen Zhen. She turned her head to look at Gu An, watching him fiddling with the sword in his hand. She was about to ask, but suddenly, her face changed and she looked up abruptly.

Not only her, but everyone in the dojo was startled and looked up.

I saw black spots appearing in the blue sky. These black spots quickly expanded like black holes, making the sky look full of holes.

"What is that?" Shen Zhen asked with a frown.

Gu An did not look up. He gently waved the Qinghong Sword and replied, "It is a transcendent force from outside the universe, called Zhan Ting."

"Battle Court?"

Shen Zhen had never heard of this name. She asked in surprise, "Why do these powerful sects like to be named after the court? Holy Court, Dao Court, War Court, the Heavenly Court in your book doesn't really exist, does it?"

At first, she had doubted whether The Investiture of the Gods and Journey to the West were true. Now that she thought about it, it was really possible. After all, Gu An's skills were beyond her imagination.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

"It can't be said. It can't be said." Gu An smiled meaningfully.

He was thinking about what kind of sword moves to use to sweep the battlefield.

At this moment, he suddenly felt something, turned his head and looked into the distance, a strange color flashed in his eyes.

The direction he was looking was exactly the direction of Taixuan Gate.

At the same time, on the distant Taicang Continent.

Zhu Xing and Ye Cang appeared under Long Qing's attic. The soul of the ancestor Qingtian also flew out of Ye Cang's body. He looked up at the sky with a frown.

"The War Court is so terrifying..." Patriarch Qingtian said to himself.

Zhu Xing also looked at the sky with an expression of disbelief on his face.

Patriarch Qingtian turned his head to look at him and asked, "Aren't you also from Zhan Ting? I heard that you want Taixuan Sect to replace Zhan Ting?"

Ye Cang also looked at Zhu Xing, he heard the sarcasm from Patriarch Qingtian.

Zhu Xing took a deep breath and said, "I didn't expect that Zhan Ting would have such a strong foundation. It seems that that person has come out of seclusion and summoned all the powerful people who have been away for a long time."

"Strange, he clearly disdains the Long family, and those who target the Long family are just the gods of war..."

Patriarch Qingtian guessed: "After all, even the Heavenly Spirit God has fallen, and Zhan Ting still dares to come. He must have a certain confidence."

Zhu Xing couldn't answer, he was in a state of confusion.

The pressure from the arrival of the War Court frightened him, and he couldn't imagine facing those war gods, especially that being.

That existence was a myth and legend of the War Court. Even though he had reached the Xuanyuan Zizai Fairyland, he had never seen that existence.

Bang——

The door of the attic opened and Long Qing walked out of the room. He walked down the stairs at an unhurried pace and his face was very calm.

A figure suddenly appeared at the bottom of the stairs. It was Long Qing's son, Long Teng.

"Father, where does the strange phenomenon in the sky come from? Why do I feel my energy and blood surging uncontrollably? I even..." Long Teng asked with a frown.

Long Qing walked to the corner of the stairs, looked down at him, and said, "You even have hostility and murderous intentions in your heart?"

Long Teng's eyes widened and he asked, "Father, do you feel the same way?"

Long Qing continued to walk down. He turned his head and looked at the sky, saying, "There are some things that I can't tell you in time, and you don't need to know them. Just wait and see."

"Watch out? Father, what are you going to do?" Long Teng frowned again, feeling a strong sense of uneasiness in his heart.

Long Qing came in front of him, but he felt that Long Qing might disappear at any time, which made him subconsciously raise his hand and want to grab the hem of Long Qing's clothes.

Zhu Xing, Ye Cang, and Patriarch Qingtian, who knew the fate of the Long family, all remained silent and stared at Long Qing.

Ye Cang clenched his fists, feeling very unwilling.

He didn't expect the battle court to come so quickly.

Five hundred years is a long time for mortals, but for him, his cultivation level has not yet had enough time to break through and is far from enough to help his master.

Just by feeling the vast pressure covering the heaven and earth, Ye Cang knew that he could not interfere with this cause and effect fate.

only……

How would the master deal with this? Ye Cang felt that the master's cultivation was not much higher than his, but the master's calmness made him look forward to it.
