"The Strongest Martial Emperor in the City"!
Upon hearing the visitor's answer, Emperor Mu Yan couldn't help but frown. It was obvious that he was somewhat dissatisfied with this result.
"Hurry up, you should know that if we fail to drag Emperor Lei Huang's lineage into the water, not only this emperor, but also our lineage will be punished because of the failure of this mission." Emperor Mu Yan said to the person who came.
Upon hearing this, the visitor immediately nodded and said, "I understand!"
He was naturally very clear about this principle. Although Emperor Mu Yan was the person in charge of this mission, they were the practitioners who specifically implemented the plan. Now that the mission had failed, none of the practitioners who participated in the mission could escape responsibility.
Emperor Mu Yan nodded, then waved his hand to dismiss the visitor, and then sat quietly alone in the dim hall. The high-level meeting that would be held soon would be the key to determining their responsibilities.
After a long time, Emperor Mu Yan sighed and said, "I hope everything goes well."
Yang Qi didn't know that the Immortal Temple had temporarily given up on hunting him. After parting with Emperor Yunshan, Yang Qi traveled through space more than ten times. Every time he traveled through space, he disrupted time and space, and even changed his appearance in the middle of the journey. He was extremely cautious.
After all, the Immortal Temple is quite powerful in the Dark Star Sea, and there are even strong men at the high-level Martial Emperor level. If he accidentally exposes his whereabouts and attracts the Immortal Temple's pursuit, it will be troublesome.
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, more than a year has passed since Yang Qi left Tielong City. After more than a year of adventure, Yang Qi has already approached the heartland of human cultivation civilization.
Compared to the Iron Dragon City area, the hinterland controlled by the nine major cultivation forces is obviously much more stable. Of course, this stability is still inferior to that of other star fields, but at least it allows Yang Qi to see traces of order.
Because of the relative stability, the atmosphere in the nearby star field is obviously much more relaxed. In a city standing in the void, Yang Qi is currently tasting fine wine in a restaurant.
At a wine table not far away, a burly man whispered, "Have you heard? The Lin family is finished. They were eradicated by the Black Mysterious Guards, and all the practitioners above the Martial King Realm have perished."
"I've heard about it a long time ago."
The companion of the burly man curled his lips and said, the Lin family has several martial emperor-level practitioners. The sudden demise of such a large family is not a trivial matter in the nearby star fields, so it is natural that the news has spread a long time ago.
"Then do you know why the Lin family was destroyed?" the burly man spoke again.
"this… "
Hearing this, several practitioners at the table shook their heads. They knew that it was the Black Xuan Guards who destroyed the Lin family, but they didn't know why the Black Xuan Guards attacked the Lin family.
However, the corps of practitioners directly under the nine major cultivation forces have a relatively good reputation, and no one suspects that the Lin family was destroyed as a result of personal vengeance.
"I have a friend who serves in the Black Profound Guards. I once overheard him mention this matter. It seems that the Lin family has colluded with some special cultivation force, which is why they were eliminated by the Black Profound Guards." The burly man said in a deep voice.
"They colluded with the other two major forces, so they deserved to be eliminated."
"That's right. The three major forces have been fighting for so many years and have deep resentment. If they collude with the other two major forces, isn't that courting death?"
The practitioners at the table immediately started discussing after hearing this, but no one expressed sympathy for the Lin family. The struggle between the three major forces would affect any practitioner with some strength. The practitioners in the hinterland of the nine major forces definitely had the strongest sense of belonging to the nine major forces, so naturally they had no good feelings towards the Lin family who colluded with the other two major forces.
"The Immortal Temple?"
Hearing the conversation of the practitioners at the wine table not far away, Yang Qi's eyes couldn't help but flash a gleam of brilliance. The Lin family was destroyed at this time, and was destroyed by the Black Xuan Guards. He immediately guessed that the Lin family must have colluded with the Immortal Temple.
After all, during this period of time, the nine major cultivation forces have been conducting internal investigations and investigating the cultivation forces under their command. Similar things happen from time to time. The Lin family is not the first and will not be the last.
“But killing all the practitioners above the Martial King level is a bit too cruel.” Yang Qi thought secretly. Even if the Lin family colluded with the Immortal Temple, the only people who knew about it were probably a few high-ranking members of the family. It was impossible that even the practitioners above the Martial King level would know about it.
Although Yang Qi felt that the nine major cultivation forces were too cruel, they also understood that they had their reasons for doing so. It was impossible for the nine major cultivation forces to completely dig out the power hidden in the dark by the Immortal Temple, so they could only kill the chicken to scare the monkeys, and use actions to tell other cultivation forces that once they colluded with the Immortal Temple, it would be a capital crime, and the entire family and even the sect would have no way out.
If anyone is to blame, they can only blame the top management of the Lin family for choosing to join the Immortal Temple, otherwise they would not have brought about their own fatal disaster.
Yang Qi shook his head and stopped thinking about it. This time he was not passing by the city in front of him, but came here specifically and traveled through the teleportation array in the city.
After more than a year, Yang Qi's body and soul have reached the limit of three-star Martial Emperor. Next, he needs to prepare for the breakthrough to four-star Martial Emperor. Now there is no suitable place for breakthrough, so he decides to go to Jiuyuan City for breakthrough.
Jiuyuan City is not one city, but nine cities, controlled by nine major cultivation forces. Jiuyuan City itself is only a part of a formation. In the center of the nine cities is Tianyuan City, which is also the base of the alliance of nine major cultivation forces.
Jiuyuan City has stood in the human territory for countless years. It is an absolutely safe place. If you break through there, you don't need to worry about any external dangers. That's why Yang Qi chose to go to Jiugong City to break through.
However, Yang Qi is still some distance away from Jiuyuan City. If he travels through space to get there, it will take a lot of time. In addition, because it is entering the heartland of the nine major cultivation forces, it is much safer and the training effect is limited. Therefore, Yang Qi chooses to take the teleportation array to travel.
After waiting for several days, Yang Qi received a message that the teleportation array would be opened today. He immediately rushed to the teleportation point. When he arrived, many practitioners had already gathered outside the teleportation point.
The teleportation array to Jiugong City is a long-distance teleportation array, so it is not opened every day. It will only be opened after a certain number of people gather.
As time passed, more and more practitioners came to the teleportation point. After all the practitioners arrived, under the leadership of the practitioners at the teleportation point, everyone came to the outside of the teleportation array.
Whoosh~
Just as everyone was preparing to enter the teleportation array, a cultivator suddenly attacked, and a sharp sword light flew straight towards the teleportation array.
"What?"
This sudden scene made everyone present's face change suddenly. Obviously, they did not expect that someone would attack the teleportation array at this time.
