The twenty-seventh year of Emperor Ming’s reign.

winter.

A heavy snow fell.

In the courtyard, Su Chen got up early in the morning, wearing a white fox fur coat.

The Daxuan Imperial City is very lively today.

And he.

I always like to watch the fun.

"The best martial arts club in the world."

"The three major factions in Jianghu have organized this conference without the Great Xuan Court, and it is right next to the imperial city. I'm afraid this is a test of the court. It's going to be interesting to watch..."

"Either the imperial court will lose face, or our emperor will have to find a way to either incorporate the three major factions or suppress them."

"I think it should be the latter. The imperial court has a Qingshan Martial Saint, so it's hard to say whether there is a second Martial Saint hidden. I even suspect that the number of grandmasters in the imperial court is definitely inflated!"

A village outside the imperial city.

Those coming and going are all powerful practitioners.

Some of them were discussing it.

The weakest of them are top masters of the first or second rank, and there are many masters among the strong ones. Even if some of them have young faces, they are all the descendants of Daxuan and several powerful dynasties and forces nearby.

"In my opinion."

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this won't end well."

Su Chen mingled in the crowd and chatted with a smile.

Thanks to Tiansui for his blessing.

There are ten grand masters on the Great Xuantian List.

However, there are still only three seats occupied by the imperial court.

Under normal circumstances, if a dynasty can give birth to one or two great masters, it is already considered a strong national strength. If it can give birth to a martial saint, even if the national strength is weak, it is still the top among the three thousand countries.

The Daxuan Dynasty now has ten grand masters, making it a first-class powerful country.

But this strength breeds internal strife.

The reason is that there is an imbalance in power between the imperial court and the three major factions.

A Grandmaster can still hack and kill in a disorderly manner, but a great Grandmaster, as long as he does not linger in the battle, can kill his way in and out seven times among thousands of troops without any problem.

If the seven grand masters of the three major sects unite together, they may even have the opportunity to overthrow the rule of the imperial court, which is something the imperial court cannot tolerate.

The world's number one martial arts tournament is held.

The general process is that the younger generation of disciples from the three major sects of Daxuan defend the ring, allowing the younger generation from other dynasties to challenge them.

And then.

That is, the newly promoted masters of the three major sects will come on stage and fight with other masters to show the powerful foundation of their sects.

"admit!"

On the high platform, there was a young man in red who sent a young master sent by the Daning court for exchanges to the stage, which instantly attracted cheers.

He is very powerful and has already reached the first level of Golden Body Realm. Basically, no one among the younger generation present can be a match for him.

Among those who applauded.

Su Chen was also among them. He kept agreeing and clapping, just to join in the fun.

"I'm afraid that Yu Wenzhi from the Tianyu Sword Sect will soon reach the Grandmaster level."

"It's so scary."

"Damn it!"

"How come such a good thing as Tiansui ended up in the territory of the three major sects of Daxuan, allowing them to eat it to their heart's content..."

In secret, there were angry voices and discussions.

They never showed up, but they were paying attention here.

Obviously.

They are the Shadow Dragon Guards of the Great Xuan Court, with special secret discs to monitor this place.

The three major sects were just small sects in the past.

He was just lucky. He obtained the most Heavenly Marrow among the first batch outside the imperial city. As a result, he soared into the sky and was unstoppable, growing into a giant in the world.

The world's number one martial arts competition continues.

soon.

After a few days, I couldn't go on.

Just because.

A rumor inexplicably appeared at the world's number one martial arts conference.

Rumor has it.

Celestial marrow, integrated into flesh and blood, is a rare treasure of creation. Even if one eats the flesh and blood raw, one can still plunder three or four tenths of the essence of the celestial marrow.

At first, no one cared.

Until the heroes of the three major sects who swallowed the Heavenly Marrow died inexplicably, and their bodies were stripped of flesh and blood, leaving only bones, which were obviously eaten by someone.

"Is this Emperor Ming's move?"

"Rumors are like knives, and they can kill people."

Next.

For several days.

The atmosphere at the world's number one martial arts conference became weird.

"Bastard!"

"You can hurt people with rumors, but why don't you dare to do it with real weapons?"

The three major factions cursed.

They didn't take the rumors seriously.

after all.

They soon found the murderer, skinned him and tore off his tendons as a warning.

it's here.

Their three major sects have five grandmasters in charge, so how could they be afraid of the little rumor spread by Emperor Ming? If they were really afraid, it would be a real joke.

"Rumors are the most terrifying."

"not to mention."

"Who said this is just a rumor?"

Su Chen gazed at this peaceful yet turbulent martial arts conference, and knew in his heart that the three major sects were no match for Emperor Ming.

This world's number one martial arts conference was held by the three major factions to challenge the imperial court and show off their muscles, but it might turn out to be their own grave.

Tiansui is the legacy left behind by Chu Yuntian after his death. Compared to the great supernatural powers of immortals, it is insignificant, but to martial artists, it is a peerless treasure.

The mortal body is simply unable to fully digest the power of the Heavenly Marrow. Those who eat the flesh and blood of the Heavenly Marrow can indeed obtain some of the Heavenly Marrow's power to nourish the soul.

In other words.

The rumor is true.

then.

Late at night, even though there were five grandmasters from the three major sects guarding the city, someone still disappeared in the city, which angered the grandmasters and they took action, killing many thieves.

But the news that those who eat the flesh and blood of the sky can really break through spread like wildfire.

Day two.

The atmosphere at the martial arts conference became strange.

"Bastard!"

"How dare you!"

"Our three major sects, the Tianyu Sword Sect, the Lingyun Sect, and the Chixue Sect, together have five grandmasters here..."

The leaders of the three major factions gathered in the pavilion, and veins on their foreheads were throbbing.

They somewhat regretted holding this martial arts tournament.

The original intention was to test the strength of the imperial court.

result.

Emperor Ming didn't even send anyone to participate. Instead, they were thrown into a state of confusion by a tiny rumor.

Not holding it anymore?

Then they would become a laughing stock.

"continue!"

“Increase patrols.”

"If anyone dares to attack the Heavenly Marrow again, we will directly kill them along with the sect they came from!"

The head of Lingyun sect spoke coldly.

The three major factions reached a consensus.

however.

The scary thing is.

At this time, the three major sects did not know that outside the Great Xuan Dynasty, there was another rumor circulating along with the first rumor.

That is, the grandmaster swallows the heavenly marrow and hopes to become a martial saint in the world.

The human martial saint swallowed it.

Perhaps, it is possible to prolong life.

Day three.

Something terrible happened.

An old man came staggering over, his linen clothes all turned bloody. Every step he took left a bloody footprint, but the blood was not his.

But it was the circle of heads hanging around his waist.

"Who is this old man?"

"and many more."

"Why does that head look so familiar? Why does it look so much like our Great Night Nation's Grandmaster, Mr. Buguo?"

"hiss!"

"That head belongs to Grandmaster Wuji! The five or six heads around his waist are all top-notch Grandmasters."

At this moment, panic was boiling.

Countless cries of fear were heard, and finally someone recognized the identity of the old man in blood-stained clothes. He was actually a martial saint who had become famous in the Three Thousand Kingdoms of Ksitigarbha two hundred years ago.

"Xu Xueyi!"

“The Blood-Cloaked Martial Saint, the Man-Slayer Martial Saint, he has so many names. It was because of his wanton killing of innocent people that the Martial Saints of the entire Dizang Three Thousand Kingdoms joined forces to hunt him down…”

"How can it be!"

"How is it possible that a person who lived two hundred years ago is still alive?"

Exclaimed again and again.

Some people fled, some stopped, and some came forward to chat.

puff!
Those who talk to others will be beheaded.

Those who stopped were panic-stricken.

Those who escape, those who are Tiansui will die, and the rest will live.

"I heard." "There are Tiansui people gathering here. I came here uninvited. I hope you don't mind..."

Xu Xueyi, who looked very old, was greedily eating the flesh and blood of a Tiansui person as he spoke.

This blood-robed martial saint came for the Heavenly Marrow One.

In fact.

Among these rumors, except for the one that it can prolong life which is false, the rest are true.

Even the idea of ​​prolonging life is only half true and half false.

after all.

The nourishment of the soul will indeed make those who are about to die full of energy, with blood and flesh excited, and they will feel that their lifespan has been increased in a short period of time.

"Bastard!"

"A human martial saint, so what?"

"You are already old!"

"Die!"

All the grand masters present, as long as they had swallowed the Heavenly Marrow and been contaminated by its aura, now shared a common hatred and attacked the Blood-Clothed Martial Saint together.

We have to take action.

Judging from the look of this Martial Saint, it is clear that he has no intention of letting go of any of the Tiansui people.

For a while.

There were seventeen grand masters present.

But it's useless.

one move!
Although the Blood-Clothed Martial Saint was old, he only used one move to kill these great masters.

After one move.

All was quiet.

"Emperor Ming has good tactics."

"A few rumors, without even a trace, caused the three major sects to vanish into thin air."

"Even the Martial Saint has unknowingly become his pawn."

Su Chen sighed a bit.

immediately.

He shook his head and was about to leave.

It’s not lively anymore.

But I'm leaving soon.

It is hard to imagine that this terrifying emperor who could easily stir up trouble and manipulate people's hearts was just a puppet emperor twenty or thirty years ago.

Time is the most unpredictable.

No one knows what changes a person will make or what kind of person he will become many years later.

at the same time.

Qiu Ming Palace.

Emperor Ming put down the book in his hand, listened to the report of the Shadow Dragon Guard, and casually stamped the imperial seal on the imperial edict that had been written long ago.

then.

The mighty army crushed towards the three major sects.

After the martial arts tournament.

There will no longer be any three major sects in the martial arts world.

"Ants."

"A swarm of ants."

"You also want to overthrow the Great Mysterious Heaven? Do you think you deserve the title of the best in the world? How ridiculous."

Emperor Ming, from beginning to end, never took the three major sects seriously.

Today.

He took out a piece of celestial marrow from the plate presented by the chief eunuch and put it into his mouth.

now.

The aura of Emperor Ming is already that of a top master.

He is only one step away from becoming a grandmaster.

But he still felt it was too slow.

"How about the Grand Master?"

"Martial Saint, so what!"

"Compared to the high and mighty immortal, they are all too weak."

Emperor Ming looked up.

The Ksitigarbha demon that had left to hunt Chu Yuntian had returned again at some point in time. It was hovering above the palace, greedily devouring the defiant spirit of fate that emanated from Emperor Ziming.

It has also become stronger.

Perhaps it was the pressure from the aura of a perfect emperor.

And I don't know why.

Emperor Ming, who was just a mortal, seemed to be able to see this Ksitigarbha demon.

……

……

The three major sects disappeared.

The world's number one martial arts conference has become a laughing stock.

All the grand masters were destroyed.

Grandmaster, only a few escaped.

in contrast.

Quite a few young talents of the first and second ranks escaped, including Yu Wenzhi from the Tianyu Sword Sect.

He was in trouble.

The identity of Tiansui is known to everyone.

He also lost the protection of the Tianyu Sword Sect. As soon as he escaped, he became the target of public criticism and was besieged by everyone.

The younger generation is not that scary.

but.

There was also a master who escaped.

"Yu Wenzhi."

"You caused all of our seniors to perish here. Why are you three sects holding a martial arts conference for no reason? You even call it the best martial arts conference in the world? Bah, are you worthy of it?"

"Please keep your life with us!"

The plains were covered with wild grass.

Yu Wenzhi, with his red robe stained with blood, was fleeing in a panic. Behind him, two masters, one black and one white, were chasing him with ferocious looks.

Yu Wenzhi's face was full of misery.

He started practicing at the age of ten, and only opened his mind at the age of twenty with the help of Tiansui. Since then, he has soared to the sky. In just a few years, he has risen from a humble fifth-grade body to the first-grade golden body realm.

Finally, he became the eldest senior brother of Tianyu Sword Sect and had a bright future.

result.

Today, I fell directly into the dust.

The sect no longer exists.

Even the identity of a Tiansui person has become a hot commodity, and will inevitably lead to endless hunting in the future.

Also in this wasteland.

then.

Spiritual rain descended and washed his whole body, a creation of heaven.

now.

As panic-stricken and embarrassed as a dog.

"My life is at risk."

Just now.

Yu Wenzhi showed a glimmer of hope in his despair. He saw a figure in white in the wilderness, which seemed to be his last straw.

"senior!"

"help me!"

"I am Yu Wenzhi, the senior brother of Tianyu Sword Sect. I will reward you handsomely for saving me."

Hear the words.

Su Chen turned his head and looked.

There was a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"Weird."

"Can you see me?"

"Normally, mortals can't see me."

Done.

Su Chen suddenly understood.

The Yu Wenzhi in front of him had a brilliant physique, which was obviously not a martial arts physique, but an immortal spiritual root, or at least the most top-level qualification for cultivating immortals, a heavenly spiritual root.

In addition, in the past, he was washed all over by the rain formed by the fall of Chu Yuntian, a nine-transmigration celestial being, and he could be said to have barely stepped half a foot into the door of immortality.

There was even self-generated Qi inside Yu Wenzhi's body. Because there was no immortal inheritance in this world, he himself didn't even know that, in addition to being a first-grade golden body in martial arts, he was also a first-grade immortal Taoist priest in Qi refining.

Taoist immortal.

No wonder I can see Su Chen.

Although he is only at the first stage of Qi Refining, he is no longer an ordinary person.

at this time.

Su Chen was exposed by this one word.

Even the two masters on the side, following the sound, actually saw Su Chen's trace. They were a little worried at first, but seeing Su Chen's age, they instantly became extremely arrogant.

Such an age.

Even if he had been practicing since his mother's womb and was gifted with extraordinary talents, he was still just a teenager. How strong could he be? At best, he would be at the first or second level.

Such a master is considered a master in the ordinary world, but he is nothing in front of these two masters.

"Where did you come from, kid? How dare you show up here? It's your bad luck."

"Go away and die."

The black and white demons are both masters who are used to being domineering. Naturally, they will not take Su Chen seriously. They will kill Su Chen with a casual blow.

In this regard.

Su Chen shook his head, feeling helpless.

"Take action against me?"

"When I became a master of martial arts, you were not even born yet. Are you worthy enough to attack me?" (End of this chapter)
