Various Schemings

As time passed, Bi Changsheng's identity as Ximen Xue spread wider and wider throughout Great Gan following the fall of the Grandmaster of Ningyun City, and it continued to spread at an ever-increasing pace.

Great Gan's Imperial Palace, within the Emperor's study.

A dignified man of middle age sat on the dragon throne, listening to the report of a Man in Black below.

This dignified man was none other than Gan Tianyu, the Emperor of Great Gan, the master of the entire Great Gan, and also a peak martial artist in the late Condensing Gang Realm.

The person reporting to him below was Ying Yi, the commander of his direct shadow guard.

"The last matter is that in Ningyun Prefecture, a martial artist named Ximen Xue killed Yang Chaoxing, a Condensing Gang Realm Grandmaster from Dan Cao Hall, five days ago."

Ying Yi reported all the major events that had recently occurred in Great Gan to Gan Tianyu, including Bi Changsheng's killing of Yang Chaoxing.

This was not surprising, as Condensing Gang Realm Grandmasters were important figures throughout Great Gan, so it was only natural that the Emperor of Great Gan would pay attention to this matter.

"Ningyun Prefecture, isn't that where the old fellow Fang Yaoyang is? I haven't settled the score with him for ignoring my advice and colluding with Ying Tianqing to attack Jin'an City."

Upon hearing this news, the Gan Emperor's first thought was of Fang Yaoyang.

Ying Yi below remained silent, knowing that his master was merely grumbling.

Their plan in Jin'an Prefecture had been successful, and coupled with the fact that the Yellow Heaven Cult had taken the initiative to attack Ningyun Prefecture, the Gan Emperor would not start a major war with the Divine Fist Sect over this matter.

"To be able to kill Yang Chaoxing at the late True Qi Realm, this Ximen Xue is indeed someone."

"Although Dan Cao Hall's techniques are not suited for combat, it is still very difficult to defy realms and defeat a Condensing Gang Realm opponent at the True Qi Realm. Even I couldn't do that back then."

"However, Ximen Xue's cultivation is still too low, and he doesn't pose much of a threat at the moment, so there's no need to pay too much attention to him for now."

After speaking about Fang Yaoyang, the Gan Emperor finally mentioned Ximen Xue, clearly indicating that in his heart, the Divine Fist Sect and Fang Yaoyang were more important than Ximen Xue.

"Yes."

Ying Yi responded upon hearing the Gan Emperor's decision.

"How is the Demonic God Army doing recently?"

After dealing with Ying Yi's report, the Gan Emperor took the initiative to ask Ying Yi.

"With the Blood Qi Great Pills sent by the Yellow Heaven Cult, the success rate of the test subjects' bloodline fusion has increased significantly. I believe there will be some results soon."

Ying Yi replied to the Gan Emperor without hesitation.

"Good, it was worth it for me to prevent other forces from interfering with the Yellow Heaven Cult's actions in Jin'an Prefecture in exchange for half of the Blood Qi Great Pills they obtained. They must speed up the progress. Recently, Condensing Gang Realm Grandmasters have been falling one after another, and Great Gan is likely to fall into chaos again..."

Hearing that the progress was good, the Gan Emperor praised him and continued to instruct.

"Yes."

Ying Yi acknowledged the order again before disappearing from the spot.

"Soon! Once I fuse with the bloodline and break through to a realm above Condensing Gang, the entire Great Gan will truly be my Great Gan."

After Ying Yi disappeared, the Gan Emperor muttered to himself.

Great Gan, Pingliang Prefecture, a place known for its fierce people and frequent chaos, had become one of the most active prefectures for the Yellow Heaven Cult.

"Master, a rather sensational event has occurred in Ningyun Prefecture recently, and the person who did it is somewhat related to our Yellow Heaven Cult."

In a large mansion in Pingliang City, a refined middle-aged man stood before an ordinary-looking middle-aged man sitting in a chair.

Although these two men looked unremarkable, few people who knew their identities could remain calm in their presence, because the refined middle-aged man was Wen Chengzhou, the Left Guardian of the Yellow Heaven Cult, and the ordinary-looking middle-aged man was none other than Li Tianhua, the leader of the Yellow Heaven Cult, a peak martial artist in the late Condensing Gang Realm.

"Oh? Tell me about it."

Hearing that the person was related to his Yellow Heaven Cult, Li Tianhua raised an eyebrow.

"Does the Master remember the incident a few months ago when an Elder under the Vermilion Bird Envoy invaded Lin'an City of Ningyun Prefecture without authorization?"

Instead of directly stating what happened, Wen Chengzhou asked Li Tianhua about it.

"Are you talking about that idiot who not only got himself killed in Ningyun Prefecture but also led to the death of the Vermilion Bird Envoy?"

Hearing Wen Chengzhou mention this matter, Li Tianhua was somewhat angry, as the death of the Vermilion Bird Envoy was the greatest loss the Yellow Heaven Cult had suffered in recent years.

However, in his opinion, the cause of this matter was still due to the Vermilion Bird Envoy's lax management. If their plan in Jin'an Prefecture had not already been completed, it might have been ruined because of this.

And that Elder, in Li Tianhua's view, was a complete idiot. With the Yellow Heaven Cult's style of doing things, invading Ningyun Prefecture was one thing, but that idiot was foolish enough to misjudge his own strength, not only getting himself killed but also bringing so much trouble to the cult.

"That's right, that idiot."

"The person who caused the sensational event in Ningyun Prefecture this time is the one who killed that idiot."

"The person who killed that idiot is named Ximen Xue. This time, in Ningyun City, he used his late True Qi Realm cultivation to defeat Yang Chaoxing, the Second Master of Dan Cao Hall, who was in the early Condensing Gang Realm, causing a sensation."

Clearly, Wen Chengzhou's view was similar to Li Tianhua's, considering Chen Pengfei to be a complete idiot who not only caused the death of the Vermilion Bird Envoy but also caused him to be injured in Jin'an City.

"A True Qi Realm cultivator defeating a Condensing Gang Realm cultivator... there aren't many such figures in the entire history of Great Gan!"

"However, his cultivation is still low, so there's nothing to fear."

Hearing the news of Ximen Xue's True Qi Realm victory over a Condensing Gang Realm cultivator, Li Tianhua was still a little surprised, but he didn't take Ximen Xue too seriously.

"My cult's Four Symbols Envoys cannot be without one for long. Do you have any suitable candidates to fill the position of Vermilion Bird Envoy?"

After chatting, Li Tianhua asked Wen Chengzhou.

"Reporting to the Master, none of the Elders in the cult have broken through to the Condensing Gang Realm yet, so there is no one who can take on the position of Vermilion Bird Envoy."

Hearing Li Tianhua's question, Wen Chengzhou respectfully replied.

"You compile a list of those who might break through to the Condensing Gang Realm, and provide them with an unlimited supply of Blood Qi Great Pills. Whoever is the first to successfully break through to the Condensing Gang Realm will be the next Vermilion Bird Envoy of the cult."

Seeing this situation, Li Tianhua directly spoke, anyway, they had obtained enough Blood Qi Great Pills this time in Jin'an Prefecture.

"Yes."

"Also, recently, tighten up your actions and don't be too public. We'll talk about everything after I come out of seclusion this time."

Seeing Wen Chengzhou agree, Li Tianhua continued to instruct.

"Could it be that the Cult Master is confident in breaking through?"

Hearing that Li Tianhua was going into seclusion, Wen Chengzhou, who knew what this meant, was overjoyed and asked Li Tianhua eagerly.

"That's right, I have already understood the path ahead, and with the supply of enough Blood Qi Great Pills, I will definitely be able to break through to that unprecedented realm."

"Once I successfully break through, it will be the time for my Yellow Heaven Cult to rule the entire Great Gan."

Li Tianhua said confidently and霸气.

It wasn't just the Great Gan court and the Yellow Heaven Cult; other major forces had also successively received news these past few days about Ximen Xue defeating a Condensing Gang Realm expert while only at the True Qi Realm. Among the top ten forces of Great Gan, their view of Ximen Xue, while shocked, was that his current realm was still low and he didn't pose too much of a threat to them. At most, some added that he was worth befriending.

However, there was one exception, and that was the Divine Fist Sect. Fang Yaoyang, who had personally witnessed the entire process, ordered as soon as he returned to the Divine Fist Sect that Divine Fist Sect disciples must not provoke people from the Crimson Blood Pill Pavilion, or they would be severely punished.
