The Great Powers of the World
After this battle, most of the forces blocking the Black Heaven Hall were scattered, and a large number of small and medium-sized sects were wiped out and absorbed. Their scriptures were all transported to the Black Heaven Hall and handed over to Lu Li for research. The Ten Lower Palaces were also dispersed, each managing a region and continuously recruiting disciples to expand outward step by step.
In his bedroom, after finishing his Qi cultivation, Zhao Yifan thought about the previous battle and couldn't help but smile bitterly. He had indeed been careless during this period. Looking at the somewhat dim and lackluster Red Gauze Sword in the corner, he shook his head.
During this period, he thought he had taken the lead and that having the Red Gauze Sword would make things easier, so he relaxed his training, resulting in a very poor performance in battle. What frightened Zhao Yifan even more was Lu Li's somewhat disappointed words.
In his previous life, Ding Yuan was completely disappointed in him and gave up on training him. Fortunately, there was still a chance. At least now, the Black Heaven Hall had not given up on him. Zhao Yifan thought to himself, and so he began to practice various moves even more desperately.
Regarding the previous battle, Lu Li had actually been following along from beginning to end. He observed the entire battle situation. In that battle, most of the traitors were exposed and then imprisoned in the dungeon.
Among the ten halls, some disciples and followers with insufficient abilities were all eliminated, making way for more people to join the Black Heaven Hall. For example, the Greed Hall, whom Zhao Yifan had no recollection of before, died in this battle, and then more capable newcomers took over.
The cowardly spirit inherited from the South Heaven Sect, which dared not fight, was swept away in this battle. The image of the Black Heaven Hall as the overlord of the south has begun to emerge. It only needs a period of accumulation before it will once again show its fangs.
Furthermore, disciples from various sects, having been implanted with the Black Star, have begun to bring their sects' secret martial arts to join the Black Heaven Hall. The Black Heaven Hall's library is also becoming increasingly rich. During this time, Lu Li has been in the library and has begun compiling the next volume of the Black Heaven Scroll. It is estimated that new results will be available soon.
Meanwhile, various news also began to circulate in the martial arts world, indicating that the seeds of a great era of contention were beginning to sprout.
For example, in the imperial court, everyone in the palace died overnight. If the murderer hadn't carved his identity on the dragon throne, the ministers who went to court in the morning wouldn't have known that they had died from an "assassination."
Zhao Yifan looked at the intelligence report in silence, and then worked even harder, because the inscription on the dragon throne read: Ding Yuan and his disciple Lin Feng assassinated 1,234 people in the palace.
The others were shocked that these two had such ability—to kill over a thousand people without making a sound. These were a thousand people, not a thousand pigs; even pigs would scream when being slaughtered.
What shocked Zhao Yifan was that in his previous life, only Ding Yuan's name was engraved on the dragon throne. At that time, he was only seven or eight years old and had no ability to assassinate others, so his name was not engraved at that time.
However, the fact that Lin Feng's name appeared on the list this time means that Lin Feng has at least gained Ding Yuan's approval. This made Zhao Yifan laugh at himself for being a weakling in his previous life, and he also became more diligent. Perhaps I was not as good as you in my previous life, but I will be the strongest in this life.
Meanwhile, the Northern Ancient Moon Hall also began to appear in the sight of the martial arts world. Unlike Black Heaven, which rose to prominence through fighting, the Ancient Moon Hall silently controlled all the sects in a large area. One day, all these sects Aggregation together and announced the establishment of the Ancient Moon Hall, with its leader Hu Wenxu as its master.
Some predict that this is another Black Heaven Hall, and that the strength of its leader, Hu Wenxu, is unfathomable. There are rumors that he is another mythical-level martial artist, otherwise he wouldn't be able to make several Celestial-level martial artists submit.
Indeed, several famous Celestial Warriors from the history of the Northern Lands have appeared in the Ancient Moon Hall, all of whom have chosen to submit to the Ancient Moon Hall. This has made the Ancient Moon Hall's aura no less than that of the Black Heaven Hall, and perhaps even higher.
The world descended into chaos, with various sects vying for power. Except in the capital and other areas, the government became a mere figurehead. Qi Ye led a beautifully dressed little girl through this turbulent world, followed by a middle-aged couple.
This man and woman were originally two famous martial artists, but they fought each other for fame and fortune. As a result, during one of their duels, they both fell off a cliff and were seriously injured. They were trapped at the bottom of the cliff and could only support each other to struggle for survival.
They were unexpectedly discovered and rescued by a little girl named Nangong Liuli. Qi Ye healed their hidden injuries and helped them break through to the Celestial Warrior level. Thus, the man and woman voluntarily became servants, married, and called themselves Mountain Duke and Cliff Granny, while addressing Nangong Liuli as Miss.
Seeing the streets lined with homeless beggars, Nangong Liuli's rainbow-colored eyes revealed a sense of pity, and a trace of sorrow appeared on her small face. The next moment, the sky darkened, as if a sad rain of lilies was about to fall. She took out the dry food she carried and distributed it little by little. Suddenly, she heard crying from ahead.
Nangong Liuli quickly looked over and saw a little beggar lying on the ground, crying incessantly. She recognized him; she had just given him some dry food, but it seemed to have been stolen. So Nangong Liuli went over and gave him the last bit of dry food.
"I still have some left, hurry up and eat it before someone else takes it all."
The little beggar immediately stopped crying, staring at Nangong Liuli with his dark eyes. Nangong Liuli smiled, as if a rain of roses was about to fall from the sky. The little beggar took the dry food and said thank you.
"My name is Nangong Liuli, what's yours?"
"Chu Tianfeng," the little beggar answered softly.
"Miss, it's time to go." The Cliff Granny's voice came from afar. Nangong Liuli said goodbye to the little beggar, skipped away, and suddenly turned back to the little beggar, saying, "Be strong, okay?"
The little beggar, clutching the dry rations in his hand, watched the little girl walk away and made a vow in his heart.
Meanwhile, Xiao Leng was doing push-ups with difficulty under a waterfall in the mountains. Many times he wanted to give up, but with the encouragement of his ancestor in the pendant on his chest, he successfully persevered.
He was originally from the Xiao Clan family, a martial arts family. However, his mother was just a maid. After his father died in battle, their family's property was swallowed up by the Xiao Clan, leaving the mother and son destitute. Xiao Leng's talent was not very good. In the Xiao Clan, where everyone was a genius because of their special bloodline, he was practically a good-for-nothing.
So his mother took him back to their old village, but they unexpectedly encountered bandits. But now that I have a master and the ancestor's help is in the pendant on my chest, I must persevere, fight back against the Xiao Clan, and let them know that Hedong, and never underestimate a young man's potential.
In the Black Heaven Hall, Lu Li put down his pen. The second volume of Black Heaven was finished. In addition, the Dreamlands Realm of this world was about to open its doors to him. With these thoughts in mind, Lu Li began to enter the Dreamlands of this world.
Even I was poisoned by this chapter, so everyone should be careful.
