Lu Changsheng entrusted the Dark Domain to find the person who was forcing the Divine Realm to exterminate the Mortal Realm.
I was just hoping for the best, but I never expected to get a lead so quickly.
This brought a slight joy to Lu Changsheng, as it was the only good news he had received in recent days.
So he hurriedly asked, "What clue?"
The Dark Lord smiled wryly, "Don't be hasty. This clue only means there might be a lead to that person, and even if it is, it only provides a direction."
Lu Changsheng said, "It's alright, go ahead and say it. It's better than having nothing at all."
Upon hearing this, the Dark Lord nodded and said, "Senior should know about the Dark Ranking, right?"
Lu Changsheng nodded and glanced at Liu Ziru was panting heavily, weak, and slumped on the ground beside him.
Liu Ziru came to the Wilderness Realm and ended up in this situation because he was on the Dark Ranking.
"What does this have to do with the Dark Ranking?"
"Follow me." As he spoke, the Dark Lord led Lu Changsheng to the stone house complex on the grassland. In the center of the stone houses stood a dark stone tablet that seemed to reach the heavens and the earth!
This stone tablet is the Dark Ranking, which records twenty names.
Lu Changsheng looked up and saw that his name was still in second place.
The first place winner remains shrouded in mystery.
The Dark Lord explained, "Given your strength, you're definitely number one. However, this Dark Ranking has a special mechanism: mystery."
At this point, the Dark Lord waved his hand, and the layers of thick fog covering the first name dissipated, revealing only one character above.
early.
Looking at the character, Lu Changsheng frowned slightly and said, "Could this be that person's name?"
The Dark Lord shook his head and said, "It's uncertain. No one knows when this character appeared on the Dark Ranking. Even Elder Yang couldn't predict it, which is why this person was placed at the top of the Dark Ranking. However, the Dark Ranking only lists people who exist in the Mortal Realm. That's why we're wondering if it's possible that the person at the top of the Dark Ranking is the one you mentioned."
early...
Lu Changsheng frowned slightly. What exactly did this word represent?
Are there any other clues?
The Dark Lord shook his head and said, "We can't detect any information about this person yet, and we can't even pinpoint who they are. However, this is currently our only clue."
Lu Changsheng nodded.
Although this clue isn't very useful yet, it's at least a lead.
"Let's keep gathering information."
The Dark Lord nodded.
During this period, the Mortal Realm, with the help of the Immortal Realm, made rapid progress in reconstruction.
The reconstruction of the Azure Firmament Academy did not involve relocating it to another place; it was carried out right there in the Ancient Battlefield.
Once everything is rebuilt, a grand ceremony will be held to reward those who have made contributions. Ye Qiubai and his group have made extremely significant contributions to this war.
Meanwhile, Ye Qiubai and his group have spent ten years in the Fusheng Diagram, digesting the experience and cultivation gained from this great battle.
Everyone's cultivation level has greatly improved.
Ye Qiubai completed a double jump, reaching the Late God Lord Realm.
Hong Ying at the Half-Step God Emperor realm.
Ning Chenxin is also capable of contending with someone at the Half-Step God Emperor Realm.
Xiao Hei is still in the Mid God Emperor Realm, and has been focusing on stabilizing his bloodline during this time.
Shi Sheng reached the Late God Lord Realm.
Mu Fusheng... Mu Fusheng found a place to cultivate alone this time, and even Ye Qiubai and the others did not know how much he had improved.
During this great battle, Mu Wan'er refined a large number of pills, Dao of Alchemy improved extremely rapidly. By cultivating with the Alchemy Saint Scripture, she even reached the realm of Half-Step God Emperor.
The same applies to Xiao Shitou.
Fang Qiong went directly to the Immortal Realm after entering the Late God Lord Realm.
In the Immortal Realm.
Lindong City is an inconspicuous, marginal town.
There are only three major forces here.
The City Lord's Manor, the Far East Sect, and the Cheng Lineage.
There were originally four major forces, but the Fang Lineage was wiped out by the City Lord's Manor's Mansion in conjunction with the Far East Sect.
The former site of the Fang Lineage residence has now been transformed into a restaurant.
As the waiter was calling out to customers outside the restaurant, he suddenly noticed a man standing at the entrance, staring blankly at the building.
The waiter paused for a moment, then tentatively stepped forward and asked, "Sir, would you like some drinks? Don't let our restaurant's recent opening fool you; our wine is universally acknowledged as the best in Lindong City!"
Fang Qiong looked at the waiter and then nodded slightly.
Seeing this, the waiter's face lit up with joy, and he quickly gestured for him to come in, saying, "Sir, please come in!"
Sitting down, Fang Qiong said, "Bring a pot of wine."
The waiter nodded and said, "Alright, please wait a moment."
After bringing the wine, Fang Qiong stopped the waiter and asked, "Where is the owner of this restaurant? Tell him an old friend has come to visit."
The waiter was taken aback. Although his eyes showed some suspicion, he still smiled and said, "Alright, the master happens to be entertaining guests at the restaurant today. I'll go and inform him."
Having said that, he hurriedly walked toward the cabinet.
Not long after.
Suddenly, a young man dressed in luxurious brocade robes appeared at Fang Qiong's table and sat down opposite Fang Qiong.
The man carefully examined Fang Qiong, then said, "Friend, who are you? I've never seen you before..."
Halfway through his sentence, the man looked somewhat surprised and asked, "But you do look somewhat familiar. May I ask who you are?"
Fang Qiong silently downed the wine in his glass. His face was filled with sorrow as he said sadly, "This wine has gone bad."
Has it gone bad?
The man was taken aback for a moment, then laughed proudly, "Of course, this kind of wine used to be run by the Fang Lineage, but now that the Fang Lineage is gone, our City Lord's Manor has made our own, and we've managed to recreate some of it."
Wine was also a major industry for the Fang Lineage.
The Fang Lineage's wine is renowned not only in Lindong City, but also in dozens of surrounding cities.
It tastes good and can improve one's health, so it naturally became famous.
"Yeah, it's a hodgepodge, a complete mess, you could only call it a pile of dog shit."
Hearing Fang Qiong's words.
The man's face slowly darkened. He stood up, stared at Fang Qiong, and said in a sinister tone, "Friend, it seems you've come to cause trouble. Besides, in this entire Lindong City, no one dares to provoke the City Lord's Manor, unless..."
Before he could finish speaking, the man's eyes widened as he looked at Fang Qiong, his pupils slowly contracting and trembling!
Pointing at Fang Qiong, who had looked up at him, he stammered, "You... you couldn't possibly be?!"
Fang Qiong nodded, then sat on the wooden chair and made a grasping motion in the air. Instantly, the man's neck was gripped by an invisible hand, and he slowly floated in the air. No matter how much he struggled, it was to no avail; he could only look at Fang Qiong in terror.
Fang Qiong said in a chilling tone, "Call for help now. Summon everyone from the City Lord's Manor, or you'll miss your chance."
