Chapter 337
Dongyang county.
Qiannu Palace.
In the newly built palace, the Empress wore a little makeup. She frowned and pursed her red lips. She stared at the chess board in front of her and was deep in thought.
On the chess board, Black and white chess pieces were crisscrossed. They looked messy, but there were hidden rules and mysteries.
Opposite her was a graceful female official. She wore a standard robe and a tall hat.
“Your Majesty, it’s your turn to play chess.”
The female official reminded her.
The empress waved her hand in annoyance.
“I’m not playing anymore...”
The Empress said.
She had wanted to play to her liking and learn how to play chess well. At that time, she would at least have the same hobby as brother Lu. Brother Lu loved to play chess and his chess skills were exceptionally high. The Empress understood this.
Didn’t du Longyang play a game of chess with brother Lu and had an epiphany? Now, he was bound to die and break through to the Yin master realm?
Therefore, the Empress also began to learn how to play chess.
However, it seemed that her chess skills were limited. If she wanted to play chess with brother Lu, she was still far from it.
This female official was a national chess player and her chess skills were superb. However, when the Empress played chess with her, she was completely powerless when faced with the female official’s attack.
“Chess requires a calm heart. Your Majesty, Your Heart... is not calm enough.”
The female official smiled.
The Empress rolled her eyes and said, “Let’s call it a day.”
When the female official heard this, she stood up and bowed. She took small steps and left the palace.
The Empress leaned against the railing and poured herself a cup of fruit wine. Her red lips touched the cup and she drank the wine in the cup.
The warm and sweet wine made the Empress’s agitated heart gradually calm down.
Suddenly.
The Empress’s beautiful eyes landed on the cup.
The wine in the cup was like a mirror, but it was rippling in circles.
Oh?
The Empress felt something and put down the cup in her hand. Her body instantly disappeared from where she was.
..
The four nascent soul realm experts of the sacred land looked at the terrifying aura that was rapidly gathering over, and their faces suddenly turned deathly pale.
“It’s the demoness of Buzhou Peak!”
A nascent soul realm expert stared at Zhu Long, who had her eyes closed, and exclaimed in shock.
The Little Flying Dragon’s enormous body stood still. Its fleshy wings spread out, and it faintly seemed to be able to cover the sky.
The heavenly dragon species from the eight great dragon gates were all attracted over.
The gathering of so many heavenly dragon species caused the four nascent soul realm experts to lose even more of their desire to fight.
What was the point of fighting.
Just killing the demoness of Buzhou Peak, who didn’t even bat an eye when she was a nascent soul, was enough to make them feel despair. Moreover, in terms of the other heavenly dragon species from the Dragon Gate, that Azure Dragon was also a terrifying existence that could fight against an advanced nascent soul realm expert.
The four nascent soul stage cultivators landed on the ground.
They restrained their auras and didn’t dare to make any unusual movements, as if they were afraid that their own unusual movements would cause these heavenly dragon species to attack.
The Little Yinglong’s body became as large as a mountain. It raised its dragon head and looked like a Dragon King that summoned all the Dragons in the world.
Zhu long, Azure Dragon, and many other Dragon Gate heavenly dragon species arrived one after another.
The Little Yinglong was very proud.
Look... This was his Yinglong’s card!
The card of the Dragon Whelp that the young master favored the most!
What was four nascent soul stage cultivators?
If another 100 came, he, the Little Yinglong, would receive them all!
Ni Yu’s eyes sparkled when she saw this.
Zhu long fought against 27 nascent soul stage cultivators on Buzhou Peak alone, and she even killed her way to fame. This caused Miss Zhu Long’s position in Ni Yu’s heart to rise infinitely.
The current Ni Yu was Zhu Long’s little fangirl.
Seeing Zhu Long’s appearance, her heart actually rejoiced.
Bang!
The Azure Dragon landed on the ground. Her dark golden eyes swept over, and a sharp aura spread out in all directions.
The four nascent soul realm experts from the Tian Yuan region didn’t even dare to breathe loudly.
The surrounding cultivators from the various large factions of the Tian Yuan region who were secretly observing also trembled.
Zhu long landed gracefully. She closed her eyes and her long eyelashes trembled slightly.
Her pretty face faced Little Yinglong and Ni Yu.
“Oh? Father didn’t appear?”
Zhu long frowned slightly as she asked.
As though she had noticed the smug look on Little Yinglong’s face, Zhu Long’s body instantly disappeared from where she was.
She reappeared in front of Little Yinglong’s mountain-like body.
He slapped out his delicate hand and landed it on the head of the Little Yinglong.
A loud sound rang out.
PA!
The Little Yinglong was instantly stunned by the slap.
It was just a slap when they met. Big Sister, please give me some face.
“I’m asking you a question.”
Zhu long closed her eyes and said indifferently.
The Little Yinglong felt extremely wronged. Her huge body instantly became smaller and transformed into a petite figure.
He landed on Zhu Long’s shoulder and hummed for a while.
It was as if he was communicating in ‘Dragon language’.
“Young master asked us to attend the appointment and be in charge of the bet between Da Xuan and Xi Liang...”
Ni Yu hurriedly said from below.
Zhu long nodded slightly and floated to the ground.
Ni Yu’s large eyes flickered. She took out a pill wrapped in sugar from the cloth bag and handed it to Zhu long.
“Big sister, eat the sugar,”ni Yu said.
Zhu Long had a hesitant look on her face. However, she recognized Ni Yu, her father’s servant girl.
Therefore, she didn’t refuse. She took the pill and stuffed it into her mouth.
The heavenly dragon species in the surroundings all emitted a terrifying aura.
Zhu long held the pill in her mouth and lifted the back of the Little Raindragon’s neck.
“I thought father was here.”
“Don’t shout if you have nothing to do.”
Zhu Long said.
The Little Raindragon pursed her lips.
In the distance.
The hearts of the four nascent soul realm cultivators from the Tian Yuan region trembled.
Zhu Long’s words made them understand that this little girl and this Little Dragon Cub were most likely the maidservant and pet that had concealed a terrifying existence!
The four nascent soul realm cultivators who didn’t even dare to breathe loudly looked at each other and saw the fear in each other’s eyes.
They actually attacked that servant girl and pet!
The legendary person was like a sesame seed. Once he was found out, their sect would be destroyed.
Even the lord of the sacred land might not be able to save them.
Boom!
Suddenly.
A terrifying aura swept through the sky.
Red robes fluttered.
A graceful and elegant figure suddenly tore through the air.
Zhu Long’s tightly shut eyes trembled slightly as a terrifying aura emanated from her body. She raised her hand and a milky-white thread quietly coiled around her slender fingers.
In the sky.
The Empress’s beautiful eyes were like a painting, and her smile was like a flower.
Her eyes lit up as she looked at Ni Yu and Little Yinglong.
“Little girl Ni, Little Stupid Dragon!”
The empress laughed.
Her figure landed beside Ni Yu.
As if she didn’t sense the empress’s hostility, the tyrannical aura on Zhu Long’s body couldn’t help but spread out.
The four nascent soul realm experts from the Tian Yuan region originally thought that the Empress would come and seek justice for them.
But they didn’t expect..
That the Empress was actually on their side?
The hearts of the four nascent soul realm experts suddenly became increasingly gloomy.
The great battle didn’t erupt in the end.
The appearance of the Empress resolved this conflict very quickly.
Azure Dragon, Red Dragon, and other existences followed the Dragon Gate back.
Zhu Long was very cold and didn’t stay long. She originally thought that when Little Yinglong appeared, her father would appear as well. She didn’t expect that Little Yinglong was just blindly calling out.
Therefore, Zhu long directly turned into an afterimage and disappeared, returning to Buzhou Peak once again.
As for Ni Yu and Little Yinglong, they were brought by the empress to the palace of Qian ‘er to play.
..
Young Master Lu’s maidservant and pet from White Jade capital appeared in Dongyang County!
This news spread out from the Tianyuan faction in Dongyang County that was being beaten up. Very quickly, it spread across the entire world.
This was the first time that White Jade Capital had reappeared in the world after disappearing for so long. How could it not attract the attention of the world.
It was said that young master Lu’s maidservant had used a black pot to beat up the forces of the Dongyang County’s Tian Yuan region.
This caused the five Phoenix cultivators to smile knowingly.
The White Jade Capital was the force of the five Phoenix after all.
Of course, other than these, the world was more concerned about young master Lu sending his maidservants and pets to reappear. What was his purpose?
Was this to pave the way for the White Jade Capital to reappear?
However, many people thought about it and felt that it was unlikely.
That was because it had only been a short while since white jade capital had gone into hiding.
What was the meaning of going into hiding so quickly?
Soon, someone realized that the news of Ni Yu’s appearance was for the one-year pact that white jade capital had witnessed back then.
The one-year pact between Daxuan and Xiliang!
As soon as this news was released, the cultivators who did not mind watching the show immediately became excited.
In other words, this maidservant was an emissary with young master Lu’s will, and she came with a mission!
..
Tai Ling.
Tantai Xuan held the letter in his hand.
“Ni Yu, that girl?”
“Young master Lu sent her to witness the bet this time.”
Tantai Xuan took a deep breath, and his eyes were actually a little sharp.
In the small building.
Mo Beike, Mo Ju, and Jiang Li were also sitting on chairs, drinking hot tea.
Mo Beike’s heavy bags under his eyes twitched, and he chuckled, “Your majesty, it seems like we can’t afford to be careless in this competition with Xiliang.”
“Since young master Lu is so concerned, we have to give him the respect he deserves. We have to treat him seriously.”
Mo Beike said.
Mo Ju also nodded, “This can be considered as young master Lu testing the results of our Great Mysterious Academy.”
“Although a year... is a little rushed, and the results may not be too mature, but... at the very least, we have to show the advantage of our Great Mysterious Academy.”
Tantai Xuan looked at Jiang Li. “Old Jiang, do you think... that we have an advantage when competing with the Xiang family Army of Xiliang?”
“The advantage is not big. The winner is 73% .”
Jiang Li said.
Then, he thought for a moment and added, “The Xiang family army of Xiliang is 73% , the Great Mysterious Academy is 33% ...”
“Old Jiang, are you trying to boost other people’s morale and destroy your own family’s prestige?”
Tantai Xuan was unhappy.
The Great Mysterious Academy was his heart and soul. He was unhappy that Jiang Li was so straightforward in belittling him.
“The Great Mysterious Academy is a place to train talents. It develops in a variety of ways and is relatively balanced in all aspects. However, when it comes to combat... it is indeed inferior to the soldiers of Xiliang Xiang family army.”
Jiang Li said.
He was the successor of the art of war, so he could naturally tell.
“The main thing is to look at the rules. Young Master Lu’s rules are the key.”
Mo Ju nodded slightly.
He actually did not think highly of the Great Xuan College.
The Xiang family army was an extremely fierce army of cultivators.
Even the black tortoise guards might not be able to win in a battle of pure combat strength, much less the children of the Great Xuan College.
Tantai Xuan frowned, “No matter what, I am the bunch of bastards that support me!”
..
The next day.
The Heaven’s legacy pigeon flapped its wings and dropped its white feathers.
One flew into the Tai Ling House.
The other flew into the West Liang Tent.
Tantai Xuan and the Overlord both received a message from the Heaven’s legacy pavilion.
“Competition location... Bei Luo.”
The Overlord looked at the message on the black yellow paper and raised his eyebrows.
Bei Luo, this city that was hard to forget.
The next moment, the Overlord sent a message to Xu Chu.
Xu Chu carried a huge metal ball on his back. Behind him, ten Xiang family soldiers covered in thick metal armor walked out of the Overlord’s tent.
The overlord lifted the tent’s curtain, and Luo Mingsang and Luo Mingyue, who was holding a lute and wearing a veil, followed.
Looking at the ten Xiang family soldiers who were as energetic as stoves, a look of satisfaction flashed across the Overlord’s eyes.
“Are you confident that you can go to beiluo and fight against the students of the Great Xuan College?”
The Overlord asked.
The ten Xiang family soldiers, who were covered in thick armor, looked at the Overlord, and their eyes were filled with fanaticism.
“Yes!”
All of them roared!
“Your Majesty, these ten are carefully selected by me. They are good seedlings under the age of twenty in the Xiang family army.”
“The strongest one is called Zhao Zixu. He just completed the refinement of the last hidden treasure yesterday!”
Xu Chu said.
The eyes of the soldier who was called out immediately lit up. He raised his head and puffed out his chest as he took a step forward.
Majestic spiritual energy swept over and actually formed a spiritual energy armor on the surface of his body. It was extremely lifelike.
“The peak of the body snatching realm?”
The Overlord’s eyes lit up, and he actually had a surprised expression.
Although the changes in the world made the birth of body constitution realm much easier than before.
However, the Overlord still couldn’t forget how many times he had been beaten up when he entered body constitution realm.
It was still very rare for a genius to be able to cultivate to the peak of body constitution realm so quickly.
“Not bad, not bad...”
“This battle, Fight Well!”
The Overlord said.
He put on his armor and walked towards the soldiers.
It was as if these soldiers were soldiers.
He raised his huge fist.
The soldiers clenched their fists in excitement and clashed with the Overlord’s fist. The moment their fists clashed, these soldiers felt as if their hearts were burning!
Their faith in victory was burning.
The overlord placed his hands behind his back and looked to the east.
He still remembered the time when he made the bet and left bei Luo City.
Lu fan actually had high hopes for the Great Xuan College.
However, the Overlord was not convinced.
His soldiers were definitely not weak!
..
Similarly.
Below Tai Ling, at the Great Xuan College’s training ground.
The students of the Great Xuan College who were dressed in tight clothes were also facing Tantai Xuan’s mobilization.
“The establishment of the Great Mysterious Academy was not easy. All of you are the hope of this king and the entire Great Mysterious Nation!”
“All of you are the proud sons of heaven. All of you are the focal points of the future!”
“This is the first battle that you will experience. It will definitely be the most important battle in your lives.”
Tantai Xuan said.
“The iron-blooded soldiers of the black tortoise guards used their flesh and blood to build the Great Mysterious Academy for you. They fought with their enemies in front of the spirit stone mines and sacrificed their blood to obtain the resources for your cultivation.”
“Your elder Mo traveled the world alone and visited all the major factions in the jianghu, seeking to record all kinds of cultivation paths between life and death...”
“For what?”
“To prove to the world that the establishment of the Great Mysterious Academy... Was Right!”
Tantai Xuan roared.
He had said a lot.
The blood of the students of the Great Mysterious Academy was also boiling. Their eyes were red as they clenched their fists.
Tantai Xuan personally went down and walked towards the 10 selected students, patting their shoulders gently.
They were the hope of the Great Mysterious Kingdom, fighting for the Great Mysterious Kingdom, for the Great Mysterious Academy’s Honor!
..
Northern Luo City.
Northern Luo City was built on top of the towering northern Luo Peak.
Luo Cheng sat cross-legged in front of the city gates. His aura was constantly fluctuating and powerful.
He, who was at the peak of the body refining stage, became more and more profound and powerful.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes.
At the end of the horizon.
A figure flew over at an extremely fast speed.
The terrifying aura covered Luo Cheng’s face, causing him to hold his breath.
Below the city gate.
A beautiful and luxurious woman in a red robe stood there like fire.
The woman was holding a little girl and a small yellow dragon in her hands.
Luo Cheng relaxed his tense mood when he saw the little girl, and a smile appeared on his face.
It had been a long time since he last saw Ni Yu.
..
The venue of the competition between the Great Mysterious Academy and the Xiang family Army of Xiliang was Beiluo City.
This once famous city had once again become the focus of the world.
Wolong Ridge, in the secret realm of the nine prisons.
Many people didn’t continue cultivating. Jing Yue walked out of the prison gate with the Jingtian sword on his back and big-headed nie shuang, who had become much stronger.
NIE shuang, who had been cultivating hard in the secret realm, had grown a lot. His skin was bronze, and his expression was firm and full of energy.
“Ni Yu is back?”
Nie shuang clenched his fists, feeling a little excited.
Jing Yue carried the sword on his back. He licked his lips and nodded.
NIE changqing also came out of closed-door cultivation, which was rare.
He returned to beiluo with nie shuang and Jing Yue.
It wasn’t just them.
All the forces, all the aristocratic families, and even the cultivation forces of the Tianyuan region sent their strong practitioners to beiluo.
As for beiluo, it did not reject any of them. It opened the city gates, allowing cultivators to enter one after another.
Even without the white jade capital, Beiluo City still had an unimaginable amount of confidence.
Lu Muye also came.
He revealed his exposed front teeth and smiled very happily.
Apart from that, Lu Dongxuan, Xie Yunling, and Hua Dongliu also came. They were the representatives of the hundred schools of philosophers. Mo Beike had once looked for them and taken away their inheritance.
The children of the Great Mysterious Academy cultivated their inheritance.
Hence... They were also very concerned about this battle.
Ever since the Battle of Buzhou Peak, the world that had been silent for a long time was once again bustling with activity.
Three days later.
Outside Beiluo City, in the west.
There was smoke and dust billowing.
The sound of horse hooves exploding sounded like deafening thunder.
One after another, the Xiang family army donned in awe-inspiring iron armor rode their horses over. The Overlord rode on a black maned horse with its mane fluttering in the wind. It was as if Black Lightning was tearing the earth apart.
Behind him were Xu Chu and the ten Xiang family soldiers who had been selected.
After that..
There were hundreds of Xiliang iron cavalry who had come to boost the morale of the troops!
Their discipline was strict, and there seemed to be a fire burning in their eyes.
Northern Luo City, north.
The sound of wheels rolling over the ground brought with it an oppressive and noisy atmosphere.
Inside the carriage.
The students of the Great Mysterious Academy, who were dressed in scholarly robes and sitting quietly, held their breaths and focused their attention, waiting for the battle that was about to begin.
Tantai Xuan’s carriage was in the lead.
Apart from that, there were black tortoise guards riding their horses, and they also had an extraordinary aura.
One came from the west, and the other came from the east.
The Great Mysterious Academy and the Xiang family Army of Xiliang had made an agreement for a year. At this moment, it was like a prairie fire, like a burning red sky.
Before they met, the conviction of neither side was willing to admit defeat. They clashed in two different directions in beiluo!
