Compared to Yang Qi, the cultivation level of Blood Cloud Patriarch has hardly changed at all in the past few months. After all, Blood Cloud Patriarch does not have the means like Yang Qi, who relies on elixirs and Yuan Crystals to assist in his cultivation, and also has the cultivation experience of a peak strong man as a reference.
Just relying on the small blessed land occupied by the Blood Cloud Tower and absorbing the vital energy of heaven and earth for cultivation, the speed at which one's cultivation level improves is like water dripping through a stone. The results cannot be seen in just one or two months.
"I have made some progress and breakthroughs in my practice. I am very lucky." Yang Qi smiled. His rapid practice speed would sooner or later be known by others as he came into contact with strong people in the fetal breathing state. This was his biggest secret, so naturally he had to hide it.
“If Brother Yang’s success is considered a fluke, then the others would probably have no face to even talk about cultivation anymore.” Ancestor Xueyun said with a wry smile. Yang Qi’s rapid cultivation speed was extremely rare even in the ancient times when martial arts were flourishing.
"Brother Xueyun, the reason you came to me this time is not just because you want to see me, right?" Yang Qi smiled and said.
Upon hearing this, the Blood Cloud Ancestor nodded slightly, and immediately dismissed the other people from the Blood Cloud Tower before saying, "The Holy Envoy has appeared."
Holy Messenger
Yang Qi was stunned. He had only learned about the existence of the Holy Envoy from the animal skins passed down from the Blood Demon Cult a few days ago. However, looking at the appearance of Patriarch Xueyun, it was obvious that he had known about the existence of the Holy Envoy for a long time.
"Brother Yang's inheritance is probably not simple. He actually knows the existence of the Holy Envoy." Seeing that Yang Qi was a little dazed, Patriarch Xueyun couldn't help but sigh.
There are too few forces that know about the existence of the Holy Land and the Holy Envoy. The martial arts world today doesn't even know about the fetal breathing realm, let alone the secret holy land. None of the forces that know about the existence of the Holy Land and the Holy Envoy are simple forces.
“Brother Xueyun, you’re joking. I’ve only heard of the Holy Envoy, and I know nothing about the others.” Yang Qi shook his head with a wry smile. He didn’t know much about the Holy Land and the Holy Envoy. He only knew a few bits and pieces from the animal skins of the enchanting man and the Blood Demon Cult. Compared with a killer organization like the Xueyun Tower that has been passed down for hundreds of years, it’s far behind.
“The so-called Holy Envoys are nothing more than messengers of the Holy Land walking in the martial arts world. However, their strength is not bad. They are all strong men in the Fetal Breathing Realm. As for the Holy Land, I don’t know much about it, but I know that there are many masters in the Holy Land. Martial artists in the Fetal Breathing Realm can only be regarded as middle-level in the Holy Land.” said the Blood Cloud Ancestor.
Yang Qi nodded slightly, not too surprised. In fact, the Blood Demon Cult was destroyed by several Holy Envoys. He also learned from the animal skins left behind by the Blood Demon Cult that the Holy Envoys were not the strongest in the holy land.
“The Holy Envoys travel the world of martial arts, but they rarely show up. They are actually looking for disciples with outstanding talents for the Holy Land,” said the Blood Cloud Patriarch.
Looking for disciples
Yang Qi was stunned. He didn't expect that this was the role of the Holy Envoy. It was somewhat similar to the scouts in modern society, except that scouts were responsible for discovering celebrities, while the Holy Envoys were responsible for finding disciples with talent in martial arts.
“In addition to this, the Holy Envoy has another duty, which is to collect resources for the Holy Land. This time, the Holy Land that comes out is the Southern Border Holy Land.” Ancestor Xueyun said in a deep voice.
"The Holy Land of Southern Xinjiang? Is there more than one holy land?" Yang Qi was stunned and said in surprise.
He had always thought that the Holy Land was just one place, but what the Blood Cloud Ancestor said told him that there was more than one Holy Land! This was something he had never thought of.
"There is indeed more than one holy place. According to the classics left by the Blood Cloud Tower, there are three holy places that I know of." said the Blood Cloud Ancestor.
Three holy places
Yang Qi's expression changed slightly. These three holy places were only known to Old Ancestor Xueyun. Maybe there were other holy places that he didn't know about.
"As for whether there are other holy places, I don't know. In fact, this time I asked you to come here just for the birth of the holy land." said the Blood Cloud Ancestor.
“For the holy land? The Blood Cloud Tower doesn’t have any grudges with the holy land, right?” Yang Qi raised his eyebrows and looked at the Blood Cloud Ancestor.
"My Blood Cloud Tower doesn't have that much power to be involved with the Holy Land." The Blood Cloud Patriarch smiled bitterly and shook his head. "In the eyes of the Holy Land, we martial artists are just ants. Even the strong ones in the fetal breathing realm are just stronger ants."
Yang Qi nodded slightly. He did not find it strange. A thousand years ago, the Blood Demon Cult, the number one force in the martial arts world, faced the Holy Land, but it was destroyed by only six Holy Envoys. If the Blood Demon Cult did not have some tricks, it might not have been able to kill even the Holy Envoys.
The martial arts world a thousand years ago was much more prosperous than it is now. The martial arts world at that time was far from being a match for the Holy Land, let alone now.
"I wonder if Brother Yang has heard that more than a dozen small forces in southern Xinjiang have been slaughtered recently?" Ancestor Xueyun suddenly said.
More than a dozen small forces in southern Xinjiang were slaughtered
Yang Qi's expression changed. This was the first time he heard of this. Although he was already a priest of the Ninth Bureau of Guoan, it was only a figurehead and he would not be involved in the affairs of Guoan.
“Could this matter be related to the holy land?” Yang Qi frowned. Ancestor Xueyun suddenly mentioned Southern Xinjiang at this time. Perhaps this matter is related to the newly born Southern Xinjiang Holy Land.
"Yes, if I'm not mistaken, this matter should be pushed by the Southern Xinjiang Holy Land behind the scenes. As far as I know, the Southern Xinjiang Holy Land is the most evil force among the several holy lands. The Poison Sect was cultivated by the Southern Xinjiang Holy Land and is its spokesperson in the martial arts world." said the Blood Cloud Patriarch.
What
Yang Qi's expression changed drastically. The Poison Sect was actually related to the Southern Border Holy Land, and was also the spokesperson of the Southern Border Holy Land in the martial arts world. If it weren't for the Blood Cloud Patriarch, he would not have known about this at all. No wonder the charming man was confident that Yang Qi would be dead even if he was killed by Yang Qi after knowing that Yang Qi had no idea about the existence of the Holy Land. It turned out that behind the Poison Sect, there was actually such a huge force as the Southern Border Holy Land!
"The Poison Gu Sect has only been around for a short time. It is said that it only rose to prominence in the late Qing Dynasty. However, the techniques they practice are extremely vicious. In addition, they have the support of the Holy Land. Any force that knows the Poison Gu Sect is unwilling to provoke them easily." Ancestor Xueyun said indifferently.
No wonder the Martial Alliance did not dare to provoke the Poisonous Gu Sect in the first place. It was probably because they knew that the Poisonous Gu Sect had the support of the Holy Land.
"Brother Xueyun, you called me here just to tell me these, right?" Yang Qi frowned slightly and looked at the old ancestor Xueyun standing beside him.
“To be honest, the reason I’m looking for Brother Yang this time is to jointly fight against the Southern Border Holy Land.” Ancestor Xueyun said slowly.
Compete with the Holy Land
Yang Qi's face changed, and he looked at the Blood Cloud Ancestor in front of him in disbelief, and said with a wry smile, "To compete with the Holy Land, just you and I? Let alone the Holy Land, we can't even handle the Poison Sect alone." (To be continued)
