Do You Want Luo God City to Become the Overlord of the Northern Heavens Continent?

"Something terrible has happened!"

After cultivating in seclusion for a month, Luo Li's door was knocked on.

When she opened it, she found An Ran outside.

Had An Ran gone out recently?

"What happened, An Ran?"

Luo Li was somewhat surprised. What major event could have happened in the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy right now?

At the very least, nothing among the students should have affected her.

After all, she was now the undisputed number one on the Heavenly Ranking among countless students.

Even Shen Cangsheng had acknowledged this after returning to the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy.

After all, Shen Cangsheng knew very well how formidable Demon Dragon Son had been.

An Ran was extremely anxious and immediately said,

"The Punishment Hall Three Generals of our Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy were ambushed by Mo Xingtian of the Dragon Demon Palace and have all been captured!"

Captured?

Luo Li froze. She did not know what the Punishment Hall Three Generals were.

But she knew Mo Xingtian of the Dragon Demon Palace.

He was the number one enemy on the Bounty Ranking, worth ten million Spiritual Value.

There was also a Divine-grade Spiritual Art and a Peerless Spiritual Artifact as rewards.

Without question, he was a ruthless figure every student in the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy wanted to kill.

But killing him was difficult.

"What exactly is the Punishment Hall...?"

Luo Li's first question left An Ran momentarily speechless.

That was true.

Luo Li had only joined the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy recently. How could she know what the Punishment Hall was?

Let alone these so-called Three Generals.

"The Punishment Hall is short for the Hall of Punishment."

An Ran calmed down and explained, "It is responsible for monitoring the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy and hunting the enemies of the Dragon Demon Palace. Most of its members are senior brothers and sisters who previously graduated from the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy. Among them are many former top ten experts on the Heavenly Ranking, and even former number ones."

"At the very least, they have reached the Heaven-reaching Realm."

"If Shen Cangsheng were willing to remain at the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy after graduating, he would most likely join the Punishment Hall."

"The Punishment Hall Three Generals are the finest of last year's graduates. They were top figures ranked within the top three of the Heavenly Ranking."

"Mo Xingtian, the number one on the Bounty Ranking, was being hunted by the Punishment Hall Three Generals."

Hearing that, Luo Li understood.

It seemed the Dragon Demon Palace had been unable to find her, the one who had killed Demon Dragon Son, and had instead set its sights on the Punishment Hall Three Generals of the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy.

The capture of the Punishment Hall Three Generals was undoubtedly a tremendous blow to the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy.

They could then use this to force the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy to hand over Luo Li in exchange for a chance at saving the Three Generals' lives.

Then, as An Ran had said, something truly terrible had happened.

No matter what choice it made, the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy would lose face.

Unless it could use this opportunity to strike back at the Dragon Demon Palace.

Only by even publicly executing Mo Xingtian could the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy wash away its humiliation.

"Tsk, looks like things are about to get interesting."

When Zhao Chen heard that the Punishment Hall Three Generals had been captured by Mo Xingtian, he could not help sighing.

The conflict between the Punishment Hall Three Generals and Mo Xingtian was a contest between the younger generation.

But once one side's strength shattered the balance, the game of cat and mouse could no longer continue.

Now that the Dragon Demon Palace had flipped the table, the only target it could be aiming at was Luo Li.

"Nine-leaf Sword Grass, this is very bad for Luo Li!"

An Ran had long noticed that Nine-leaf Sword Grass possessed intelligence no less than that of a human.

Seeing that Nine-leaf Sword Grass was not worried in the slightest and was instead unusually excited, she could not help reminding it,

"The Dragon Demon Palace wants the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy to hand over Luo Li in order to spare the Punishment Hall Three Generals!"

"Can that possibly be fun?"

Little Nine Netherbird yawned and perched on Luo Li's shoulder.

Then she glanced at An Ran.

What a joke.

With a big shot like her here, was there any need to fear a mere Dragon Demon Palace?

"So Lady Jiuyou has already finished her seclusion? Then I was simply overreacting!"

When An Ran saw Little Nine Netherbird appear, her expression immediately changed, and she was no longer anxious.

After all, this was the genuine divine beast, the Nine Netherworld Dark Bird!

She had heard that after successfully overcoming her tribulation, she had reached the peak of the Fifth-grade Supreme Realm.

After a month of cultivation, she had likely reached an even higher realm.

Perhaps she had already entered the Sixth-grade Supreme Realm!

The Sixth-grade Supreme Realm.

On the Northern Heavens Continent, she was probably already the second strongest expert, wasn't she?

Judging by apparent strength alone, that was indeed the case.

Aside from the Northern Sea Dragon Kun, the academy-protecting divine beast of the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy that remained hidden from the world and cultivated in seclusion year-round, even Dean Ta Cang and the Black Dragon Supreme of the Dragon Demon Palace were only in the Fifth-grade Supreme Realm!

Hearing An Ran's respectful form of address, Little Nine Netherbird raised her chin, thoroughly pleased.

The Northern Sea Dragon Kun could be addressed as Lord Northern Sea by the students and elders of the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy.

As a dignified divine beast, the Nine Netherworld Dark Bird, with the incomparably noble Primordial Undying Bird Bloodline flowing through her body, what was wrong with being addressed so respectfully as well?

Nothing at all!

If she had not been mindful of Nine-leaf Sword Grass, she would have already traveled the world in human form.

She was, after all, the Palace Mistress of the Nine Nether Palace. How could she casually reveal her true form?

Luo Li smiled faintly and said, "It's fine. Where are the Punishment Hall Three Generals now?"

After cultivating for a month deep within the Seventh-level Spirit Gathering Array, she did not feel she had improved much.

If she wanted to reach a higher realm, she still needed to venture out and gain experience.

Since Mo Xingtian wanted to show himself, she did not mind dealing with him for the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy.

An Ran clenched her hands and said gravely, "Western Wasteland City, in the northwest of the continent."

Western Wasteland City was within the territory of the Western Extremity Hall, a Supreme-level power guarded by Supreme Realm experts.

She was considering whether the Western Extremity Hall had secretly joined forces with the Dragon Demon Palace.

Otherwise, why would Mo Xingtian choose to threaten the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy alone in Western Wasteland City?

"Is it only Mo Xingtian? Are there no other elders from the Dragon Demon Palace?"

What Luo Li needed to consider was whether the Dragon Demon Palace was prepared to confront Supreme Realm experts.

If other Heaven-reaching Realm elders from the Dragon Demon Palace were present, this trip to Western Wasteland City could very well trigger a Supreme-level war between the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy and the Dragon Demon Palace.

Once that happened, it would affect everything. Perhaps a new struggle for supremacy would begin.

Either the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy would suffer devastating losses, or the Dragon Demon Palace would flee in disgrace.

"The information I received is that Mo Xingtian alone captured the Punishment Hall Three Generals."

An Ran paused before continuing, "But I think the Dragon Demon Palace is insidious and cunning. There must be Heaven-reaching Realm elders lying in ambush. Moreover, their Supreme Realm experts will also be hiding in the shadows."

"If you gain the upper hand, the Dragon Demon Palace will probably step in without hesitation."

That matched Luo Li's expectations.

The corners of her lips curved slightly as she chuckled. "Do you want Luo God City to become the overlord of the Northern Heavens Continent?"

Cultivating within the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy was merely a brief transition.

Competing against those Supreme-level powers on the Northern Heavens Continent was the true tempering.

Even the Dragon Demon Palace, with only a Fifth-grade Supreme Realm expert, had once become an overlord-level power of the Northern Heavens Continent.

So why could Luo God City, now guarded by a divine beast in the Sixth-grade Supreme Realm, the Nine Netherworld Dark Bird, not replace it?

At the very least, the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy would not have to worry about Luo God City becoming like the Dragon Demon Palace.

After all, Luo Li, the City Lord, had come from the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Chen could not help giving a thumbs-up as he said in complete agreement,

"Yes. Very much!"

With the cultivation resources of the Northern Heavens Continent, they would have enough to advance into the Supreme Realm.

Once Zhao Chen and the others possessed Supreme Realm cultivation, they could head to a broader world for further development!

For example, Tianluo Continent, one of the ten great supercontinents of the Great Thousand World!

An Ran was overwhelmed with excitement and could not help asking, "Then when the time comes, will I still be the Deputy City Lord?"
