"Yang Qi!"
A gleam of light flashed in the burly man's eyes. The Corpse God Cult had been hiding in the dark for 100,000 years, so its intelligence capabilities were naturally not bad, otherwise it would have been completely eradicated long ago. In addition, Yang Qi was a genius who had gained great fame some time ago, so the burly man naturally knew Yang Qi.
“Then Yang Qi’s strength should only be an eight-star martial arts master, right?” The burly man frowned slightly.
"Shangguan Fei sent a message saying that this person had a temporary breakthrough and his combat power is comparable to that of an ordinary nine-star martial arts practitioner in the middle stage." The middle-aged man murmured.
"this… "
The burly man was stunned, with a hint of disbelief on his face. A temporary breakthrough, a huge increase in strength
"You should know Shangguan Fei's loyalty to the Divine Religion. If he has the chance, he will never give up the No Corpse Blood Formation!" the middle-aged man said in a deep voice.
The burly man smiled bitterly and nodded slightly. Shangguan Fei's loyalty was beyond doubt. His fanaticism towards the cult was even higher than his. He was definitely someone who was willing to sacrifice his life for the cult.
"We've been exposed, retreat!" The middle-aged man sighed. The No Corpse Blood Formation had failed, and the relationship between the Blood Moon Hall and the Corpse God Cult had been exposed. What awaited them next was an endless siege.
Hearing this, the burly man nodded. This time, the siege was different from the previous ones. In the past, it was just because they were causing trouble for the Holy Light Dynasty and the Bright Moon Dynasty, and the two small dynasties sieged them. At most, the super power issued a sect mission to let its disciples eliminate them and hone their disciples.
But now, the news that they are the remnants of the Corpse God Cult has been exposed. The ones who will surround and kill them next are not the two small dynasties, but the super forces. And those who come here for training are not the strong men within the super forces.
…
Yang Qi and the other two returned to Shihe City, and under Tian Hongchen's arrangement, they moved directly into a small courtyard of the city lord. The three of them had consumed a lot of energy in the previous fight with the practitioners of the Corpse God Cult, and they also suffered some injuries from the previous fight, so they started to heal their wounds directly.
When Yang Qi and the other two began to recuperate, Tian Hongchen immediately found the chief steward of the City Lord's Mansion.
"City Lord." The gray-robed old man came to Tian Hongchen and said respectfully.
"Mr. Wu, what do you think of the Deng family?" Tian Hongchen looked at the gray-robed old man beside him with a serious expression.
Deng family
The grey-robed old man was stunned, obviously not expecting Tian Hongchen to ask about the Deng family, but he quickly came to his senses and said seriously, "The Deng family is a local cultivation family in Shihe City. It was originally just an inconspicuous family, but in the past few decades, it has risen rapidly and has become one of the top families in Shihe City. It is even considered to be somewhat famous in our Mingyue Dynasty."
"You are right. The Deng family is a well-known cultivation family even in our Mingyue Dynasty." Tian Hongchen nodded slightly.
"By the way, how long has the Blood Moon Hall appeared in my Mingyue Dynasty?" Tian Hongchen seemed to have thought of something and suddenly asked.
"Blood Moon Hall first appeared in the Bright Moon Dynasty eighty years ago." said the gray-robed old man.
"What about the rise of the Deng family?" Tian Hongchen said indifferently.
"About sixty years ago." The gray-robed old man was startled, as if he had thought of something, and looked at Tian Hongchen and said, "City Lord, you mean..."
"It's not what I meant, but this matter has been investigated." Tian Hongchen smiled coldly.
In the past, he only thought that the Deng family was suspicious, but after Yang Qi's reminder, Tian Hongchen carefully checked the information about the Deng family and immediately found that the Deng family was no longer just suspicious. Although he had not yet started the investigation, he was already certain in his heart that the Deng family and the Blood Moon Hall were in collusion.
"Deng family!"
A gleam of light flashed in Tian Hongchen's eyes. As the lord of Shihe City, how could he bear to be plotted against by the cultivation forces under his command!
The sky just brightened and Shihe City welcomed the morning. The chaos of last night did not seem to cause much reaction in Shihe City. Except for the increase in the number of ordinary soldiers on the streets, ordinary practitioners still led a life no different from usual.
In a room in the courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion, Yang Qi had fully recovered from his injuries after a night of treatment.
"The Tianyuan Sword Formation has two levels in total. The first level only has nine sword shadows, and the second level has twelve sword shadows!" On the bed, a light flashed in Yang Qi's eyes. Although he had comprehended the Tianyuan Sword Formation, he had only comprehended the means of the first level.
The second level's means seemed to be only to condense three more sword shadows, but in fact, the difficulty of performing the second level Tianyuan Sword Formation was several times greater than that of the first level.
“However, with my current strength, when I use the Tianyuan Sword Formation, my combat power is comparable to that of a mid-stage Nine-Star Martial Sect practitioner. The power of the Tianyuan Sword Formation is truly terrifying.” Yang Qi sighed lightly.
The terrifying thing about the Tianyuan Sword Formation is that it is formed by one person, but can exert the power of a formation formed by several people. Naturally, the power is extremely terrifying.
"With my current state of mind, performing the first level is already the limit. It seems that performing the second level is unlikely." Yang Qi looked helpless.
The mental strength required to perform the Tianyuan Sword Formation is actually the soul strength. The stronger the soul, the faster it can perform the Tianyuan Sword Formation. The strength of the soul is difficult to change with external forces, and can only grow slowly with practice. The longer the practitioner lives, the stronger the soul is. Yang Qi is less than 30 years old, and it is amazing that he can perform the first level of the Tianyuan Sword Formation. After all, this is a sword technique at the martial king level, which is a martial art practiced by martial kings.
"Yang Qi!"
At this moment, a figure opened the door and walked into the room.
"Fortunately, I am not practicing, otherwise your barging in like this would probably affect my practice." Looking at Liu Fei, Yang Qi said unhappily.
"Your body's recovery ability is so strong that your injuries have healed long ago. How could I possibly disturb your recovery?" Liu Fei curled her lips and said lightly.
Hearing this, Yang Qi was speechless. It was clearly Liu Fei who suddenly broke into his room, but why did she say it as if something was wrong with him
"You are in such a hurry to see me, but what's the urgent matter?" Yang Qi looked at Liu Fei. Although Liu Fei was careless, he knew his limits and would not barge into his room so rashly.
"We have received news from the sect that the royal family has sent strong men to Shihe City, asking us not to leave yet and to cooperate with their actions." Liu Fei said seriously after hearing this.
“Huh?” There was a hint of surprise on Yang Qi’s face. The royal family that Liu Fei mentioned was not the royal family of the Mingyue Dynasty, but the royal family of the Great Chu Empire!
Although Yang Qi expected that the Corpse God Cult's use of the Corpse-Free Blood Formation would attract the attention of many superpowers, he did not expect that the royal family of the Great Chu Empire would actually send strong men directly to come.
"The Corpse God Cult only revealed a third-rate strength, but the royal family directly sent strong men to come. The hatred between the Corpse God Cult and the major superpowers is really not small." Yang Qi sighed in his heart. The fact that the royal family of the Great Chu Empire sent strong men to come shows how much the royal family values the Corpse God Cult. Even if it is just a possible clue, the royal family does not want to let it go. (To be continued)
