“Hey! It’s another first-level Perfected Person. Let’s die together!”
“Even a one-year-old baby can become a Perfected Person. The prenatal qi from the Well of Prenatal Qi must be really thick. Well of Prenatal Qi, here I come!”
“We’re going to be rich!”
“After we take the Well of Prenatal Qi, I will cultivate for another three years!” They all yelled from the sky.
At the same time, they started their attack on the Imperial Palace from above.
Whoosh!
The moment these attacks touched the palace, sword qi began to rise from the Imperial Palace.
Whoosh!
The ninth-level Perfected Person who was in front suddenly stood up and shouted, “Oh no!”
His heart immediately filled with terror.
He turned around and fled.
Whoosh!
The sword flashed across the horizon.
“No!” The young man’s cry stopped abruptly.
Suddenly, he realized that he had lost control of his body.
His life flashed before his eyes.
He noticed a corpse falling down.
This corpse looked so familiar!
It was his own body!
Thud!
The corpse fell on the ground as the youth’s eyes gradually dimmed.
It was a trap!
If he had another chance, he would have asked the other disciples to test the waters first.
He had not anticipated this to happen!
How careless!
This would be the last careless mistake he ever made.
Who would have thought that this remote place would be like this?
The young man didn’t know that his thoughts were similar to those who had died before him while trying to besiege the Xia Family.
Bang bang!
Without having the time to react, dozens of bodies fell from the sky.
Their heads were all separated from their body.
Only Liu An was left alone in the air.
What had just happened?
Was he dreaming?
Inside the Imperial Capital, the force suppressing the warriors suddenly disappeared.
The force had come quickly and disappeared just as quickly.
On Mount Yan, Liu Rui rushed to the Imperial Palace together with several masters the moment the force disappeared.
The masters in the underground palace also headed out.
“What happened?”
“Masters attacked the palace!” After quite some time, Liu An finally recovered from the panic.
It was terrifying.
Dozens of advanced Perfected Persons had attacked at the same time.
That force had been so strong that it felt as if the sky was falling.
Soon after that, sword qi swirled around every corner of the Imperial Palace.
Everything happened so quickly.
And now it left so suddenly.
A group of eunuchs knelt to the ground, dripping with cold sweat. “Your Majesty, we deserve to die!”
It had been so terrifying.
“It’s not your fault. Let’s go see who we have lost,” Liu An said.
As soon as he stepped out, there was a corpse in front of him.
There was still an expression of surprise and disbelief on its face.
They could see that at the moment of death, the victim was very confused.
This corpse must have been one of their leaders.
“Your Majesty, this person’s cultivation level...”
Several great masters circled around the corpse.
Even if he were already dead, they still couldn’t determine his cultivation level.
“He seemed to be an advanced Perfected Person or even an expert Perfected Person!” Liu An said with lingering fear.
“Gasp!”
The crowd gasped and then fell silent.
The masters felt a chill go down their spines.
“And he died just like this?”
“Yes!”
“There is one more over there!”
The masters quickly brought all the corpses to the Hall of Harmony.
Even though these corpses were dead, the people who had been suppressed by the earlier force dared not to move forward.
“Your Majesty, these people...” the Imperial Horse Directorate said.
So many masters had been killed in just one breath. Was there another master in the Imperial Palace?
Years ago, there had been rumors about how powerful the guardian protecting the palace were.
They thought that the guardian would just be an expert Perfected Person.
But they were surprised by the events that just happened that day.
If the guardian did all this, then they could only imagine how powerful the guardian must have been.
This person didn’t even bother to appear in person and had just used sword qi throughout the entire attack.
“Eunuch Li was behind this,” Liu An said, not even bothering to hide this fact.
“Eunuch Li?”
Liu An wiped away the sweat on his forehead. “You only need to know that he is called Eunuch Li!”
“Okay!” The masters looked at each other.
They now had some peace of mind.
They knew that there was someone powerful protecting the Imperial Palace.
And this master’s cultivation was unfathomable.
They could just focus on their own cultivation now.
The masters who joined the royal family recently suddenly found that they had gotten a good deal.
They were able to utilize the royal resources, and there was no need for them to protect the royal family.
They didn’t even need to serve the emperor!
Now that the Kingdom of Great Xia was very strong, no one would dare to offend them.
They would never betray the kingdom!
It had been too frightening!
In an instant, everyone viewed Liu An with more respect.
*****
In the Honghai Sacred Ground, the soul flickers went out one by one.
Puff! Puff!
In an instant, the hall was covered with black smoke.
Outside the Hall of Soul Flickers, the lady who was sweeping the floor suddenly looked up and stared at the black smoke rising from the Hall of Soul Flickers.
“How is this possible?”
She tossed the broom to one side and dashed into the Hall of Soul Flickers.
“Impossible!”
“No...”
After a long while, a roar came from inside the Hall of Soul Flickers.
Then, a force from a half-step Virtual Realm master suddenly erupted over the Honghai Sacred Ground. This force only existed for a second before it disappeared without a trace.
After that day, the Honghai Sacred Ground never saw the sweeping lady again.
*****
The Honghai Sacred Ground was now in chaos.
Many other cultivator families continued to frantically attack the Honghai Sacred Ground.
One month later, Elder Mu managed to occupy the Honghai Sacred Ground.
A large number of South Continent masters streamed into the Sacred Ground.
The major families in the South Continent and the Honghai Sacred Ground fought for each other’s resources.
Other than a few Honghai Sacred Ground families who managed to escape with some resources, most of the resources were taken over by Elder Mu and the Xia Family’s elders.
At a time like this, who would dare to oppose the Xia Family?
All the resources in the Honghai Sacred Ground was then allocated between the Xia Family and the Mu Family.
Everything was carried out in an orderly manner by these two families.
The Honghai Sacred Ground in Zhongzhou became known as the South Continent Sacred Ground.
Every single family in Zhongzhou sighed silently after receiving this news.
“Zhongzhou is going to change!”
If they could easily kill Qiu Honghai and Qiu Shuzhen, they shouldn’t be easily provoked.
They didn’t even dare to think about it.
*****
30,000 miles north of the Honghai Sacred Ground, a towering mountain range stood in the center of the endless plains.
From the plains, the mountains seemed to reach up into the clouds.
The highest peak stood out among the other mountaintops.
There were numerous palaces scattered from the top to the bottom of the mountain.
This was the location of another martial arts Sacred Ground in Zhongzhou, the Huan Yu Sacred Ground.
The creator of the Sacred Ground, Huanyu, had lived there for thousands of years.
This Sacred Ground was not weak, but strong.
After tens of thousands of years, there were two Virtual Realm masters in the Huanyu Family and one Virtual Realm master in the Hai Family.
Hence, the Huan Yu Sacred Ground was renamed to the Huanhai Sacred Ground.
These two families had a firm control over all the resources in the Huanhai Sacred Ground.
The highest peak of the Holy Land was a piece of Forbidden Ground.
A girl with long hair appeared outside the Forbidden Ground.
Thud!
On the highest peak, the female cultivator knelt down.
Tears flowed down her gaunt cheeks and fell on the stone steps of the highest peak.
At noon every day, the women would kowtow in the direction of the highest peak and shout loudly, “Qiu Baihui, please beg the Sacred Ground ancestor to take revenge for our brothers and uncles.”
She did this every day for three months!
The woman on the highest peak was covered with fallen leaves.
A voice drifted from the highest peak. “Sigh! Baihui, just head back! It’s not that we don’t want to help you. It’s that we really can’t help you!”
“Sacred Ground ancestor, please take action!”
“Baihui, what is your granduncle’s cultivation level?”
“Ancestor, my granduncle has been a third-level Virtual Realm master for many years.”
“If even a third-level Virtual Realm master who was dressed in black rhino armor was killed, the opponent must be at least a fifth-level Virtual Realm master. How am I supposed to help you take action against him?”
“Ancestor, you have been a fifth-level Virtual Realm master for many years...”
“I can’t do it!”
“Ancestor, you can work with other masters to get rid of this South Continent traitor. We are both from Zhongzhou. We can’t let the South Continent people take advantage of us and steal our resources.” Qiu Baihui wiped her tears with her sleeve after saying that.
