The very center of the continent, the royal city of the world's largest empire, the Yunxiao Kingdom, is as busy as it was hundreds of years ago.

The current emperor of the Cloud Realm has always been fanatical about cultivation, and he is particularly persistent in the path of immortality. Today was her two hundredth birthday, so a grand banquet was held in the royal city to celebrate with the sky, declaring that those who came would not be refused.

Vassals from all over the country and several kings from neighboring countries attended the feast, and hundreds of well-known cultivators made a special trip to attend the feast, which was warmly welcomed by the Empress of the Clouds.

The tens of millions of people of the royal city were also filled with joy.

In the evening, a mysterious man dressed in black and wearing a hat suddenly appeared at the banquet, nodded to the empress from a distance, and then sat down in an inconspicuous place.

At night, singing and dancing are leveling.

Everyone was drunk, and they became more and more unscrupulous to act on the palace maid who was waiting for food and drink. Some palace maids kept dodging, and some wanted to refuse and welcome.

The female emperor sitting on the throne suddenly broke the glass wine glass in her hand.

The sound of soldiers was everywhere, and the ancient and solemn chant was hidden in the noise.

The ordinary people at the banquet had their own doubts, but the cultivators from all over the world invariably changed their faces.

"Your Majesty, what do you mean by this?" a tall warrior shouted angrily.

The chanting gradually became faster, and countless light purple rays lit up under everyone's feet, intertwining with each other in a complex manner, forming a mysterious array. Almost at the same time, the bodies of everyone present began to tremble slightly.

Emperor Yunxiao condescendingly looked at the sudden chaos at the banquet and smiled without saying a word.

An old cultivator with profound qualifications stood up, snorted heavily, looked at the empress and asked loudly: "Have you even ignored the basic rules? As the lord of a country, you dare to enter the devil's path and do the world's disapproval! After today, you will definitely be notorious in the sky, and the day of the country's death is approaching......

With that, several protégés who came with him angrily and eagerly swept away from the field.

The man in black in the corner stopped singing, and his figure was like the wind, and in an instant, he stopped in front of them, revealing a face full of scars under the hat.

The man in black smiled evilly, his voice hoarse, "Since you have come, all the gentlemen should stay here......"

The chanting was even more rapid, even with a certain terrifying penetrating power, and the ordinary people present were already unconscious, while the cultivators were all covering their ears with hideous faces. The old cultivator who had suffered the greatest impact had already bled from seven orifices, and slowly knelt on the ground, and the protégé next to him was even more unknown.

The incriminating invectives rang out one after another around him......

The Empress rose from her gold-encrusted throne and was overjoyed at the prospect of a hundred years of life.

After living for 200 years, she knew that her time was numbered, so she stole the longevity of others through this evil method. She was convinced that only she could continue the dominance of the empire, otherwise the Central Plains Dynasty, which had long been known as the "Land of Abundance", would fall into endless wars for the next hundred years.

"Everything I do is for the people of Zhongzhou, what right do you disobedient people who are dying have to be sarcastic?"

The empress stood proudly, and the man in black opposite her was preparing for the end of this sacrificial ceremony, and the smile on her face became more and more evil.

One by one, the people who had fallen and those who were still struggling to support themselves fell into despair. Their skin began to dry up, their life force was rapidly draining, and even their souls were gradually dissipating......

The Empress suddenly screamed, because she sensed that the few longevity she had left was suddenly almost exhausted!

"You!" she pointed at the man in black in horror, "we have an appointment!"

"Hahaha......" The man in black took off the hat on his head and looked at the empress who began to age in an instant like a fool, "You ignorant earthly lord, didn't you expect today's ending on the day you asked me for help?"

"You, and their ......" The man in black solemnly folded his hands, worshiped the heavens with great reverence, and whispered in the magic circle that was running to the extreme: "It's just my nourishment......

The huge royal city suddenly became gloomy. A certain Tianbei Sword Cultivator who was out of the mountain gate for the first time on a mission walked into the royal city and couldn't help frowning.

This is not at all the same as the instructions in the task manual...... Zhang Yusheng didn't want to deal with this kind of trouble at all. He thought that he only needed to teach a lesson to a certain unlucky cult who had the audacity to go to the secular world to make trouble, but he found that the situation had become so tricky this time, that even the feng shui of the entire royal city, no, the entire empire, began to be turbulent......

But it's just a solo mission...... Zhang Yusheng shook his head helplessly—he had a strong premonition that if he waited for the news from here to reach Tianbei or Qingcheng, and then waited for the senior brothers and elders with sufficient qualifications to be sent over to serve as deacons...... This place may have been completely cult for a long time.

Case...... Zhang Yusheng looked up at the eerie and terrifying palace in the distance, turned around and looked at the tall city gate, thought for a while, and then prepared to go out of the city without hesitation - to report to the mountain gate!

Outside the city gate, many black-clothed people were walking in slowly, unimpeded along the way.

"it!" Zhang Yusheng stopped again, and sneaked his right hand towards the special saber of the Tianbei disciple behind him, preparing to take it off and throw it away so as not to reveal his identity.

It seemed that someone had suddenly discovered something, so a black shadow galloped towards Zhang Yusheng.

The sword is like a rainbow. The black shadow was unexpectedly forced to retreat by Zhang Yusheng, but the sword body engraved with the word "Tianbei" appeared unusually eye-catching in the eyes of the masters of the evil sect.

Why do you want to use such a ostentatious sign? Do you have to let the entire cultivation world know about Tianbei's arrogance? Zhang Yusheng slandered his own mountain gate in his heart, and under the gaze of many murderous eyes, he retreated again and again.

Then he seemed to think of something, and ran in the direction of the palace.

The disciples of the Ungraced Sect, who were extremely nervous and waiting, were a little confused for a while.

"The people from Tianbei are coming so fast?" the black-clothed man in the circle frowned as he looked at Zhang Yusheng, who suddenly broke in.

Zhang Yusheng calmly stopped between the dried corpses, and looked at the man in black who looked more like a zombie with scars on his face, imitating the movements of Gong Lingyu, standing with a sword and a hand. "The Mountain Sect sent me to meet with the lords of the secular realm of the Sky Realm, and I have important matters to discuss. ”

"Oh?" the man in black looked solemn, pointed to the dying empress opposite, and said, "She is Yun Lin, the old lord of Yunxiao, and I will be the new lord of Yunxiao after seventy breaths." Xiao Wudao, the young sect leader of the Lower Grace Sect, please give me a little time. ”

"Okay......" Under the gaze of the empress who was struggling to support her luck with the remnants of the clouds, from surprise, despair to resentment, Zhang Yusheng replied calmly, "You are Sister Wuxia's younger brother, right? ”

"Oh?" Xiao Wudao's face calmed down, and his voice was slightly kind: "Yes." Can you tell me how my sister has been doing these years?"

Zhang Yusheng continued to maintain that chic standing posture with a smile on his face: "With the help of Senior Brother Lao Gonglingyu, Senior Sister Wuxia and Senior Brother Qin Feng have always respected each other on the avenue in Tianbei Hidden Peak...... It is the purest place in my heavenly north, and I envy my other disciples. ”

"Your Excellency has been too modest. Xiao Wudao smiled sincerely. The empress finally flew away with her extremely sarcastic eyes, and at the same time, there were only hundreds of dry bones left in the automatically dissolved magic circle, except for Xiao Wudao and Zhang Yusheng.

A large number of men in black appeared nearby.

Xiao Wudao slowly walked through the mess all over the ground, sat on the throne that belonged to the lord, and clapped his hands gently, and the elders of the Wuen Sect stepped forward one by one to report the situation, and their eyes swept over Zhang Yusheng who was still standing between the bones from time to time.

"yes, I see. You guys are doing a great job. The report finally ended, and Xiao Wudao nodded with satisfaction. Zhang Yusheng also understood the current situation from the mouths of these people: the entire Yunxiao Kingdom has been completely controlled by the Wu'en Sect with lightning speed, and of course, most of the methods used are demonic methods that cannot be seen. All the temples, Taoist temples, martial arts halls, and sword fields in the Yunxiao Kingdom will be demolished one by one by the evil sect, and churches that belong to the Graceless Gate will be vigorously built throughout the empire. The Wu'en Sect decided to announce to the world and the entire cultivation world that they had a firm dominance over the Yunxiao Kingdom, the Zhongzhou Empire, and it also meant that the tentacles of the evil sect had officially extended into the secular world......

They were waiting for the voice of the cultivation world bigwigs like the Tianbei Sword Sect or the Qingcheng Martial Academy, so as to decide the strategy that the Wu'en Sect would adopt in order to develop in the next few hundred years.

At this moment, all eyes were focused on Zhang Yusheng's body, and no one would think that the appearance of this Tianbei disciple was just a coincidence. The Tianbei Sword Sect must have seen the extremely long-term situation, and their attitude will affect countless cultivators.

"So......" Xiao Wudao looked at Zhang Yusheng's eyes, "Tianbei can care about these little fights we have in Zhongzhou?"

Without waiting for Zhang Yusheng to speak, Xiao Wudao explained: "The decline of the Yunxiao Kingdom in recent years is obvious to all, and what the Empress Yunxiao did before has also seriously violated the rules set by your decency together, so Yunxiao will die, and I will replace it without grace...... As your faction Gong Lingyu said, everyone goes their own way. Since Tianbei and Qingcheng are unwilling to meddle in the world, I don't want to give it a try. Then the Zhongzhou Yunxiao Domain will be handed over to me to govern, and I will promise not to intrude on Tianbei and other domains, and the 'country of abundance' is still the 'country of abundance', is it okay?"

As if talking between friends, Zhang Yusheng unconsciously looked carefully again at this unrecognizable young sect leader of the Graceless Sect and the future helmsman of the Demon Dao, who was as infamous as himself, and saw his confidence and an indescribable charm from the face full of scars and hideous and terrifying, so that Zhang Yusheng almost replied "yes" involuntarily......

But he suddenly remembered that he was not Tianbei's envoy at all, and he didn't seem to have the qualifications to speak on behalf of Tianbei.

So he nodded calmly and turned to leave in full view of everyone.

A silvery-white glimmer of light flew in front of Zhang Yusheng from a great distance.

Too fast, really too fast...... Zhang Yusheng suddenly had the illusion that the blow seemed to be sent by Gong Lingyu...... He had seen Gong Lingyu's shocking sword that tore through the sea of clouds in the north of the sky, and at that time he was sitting on the top of a certain sub-peak looking at someone pretending to be forced from afar, and then he personally felt the sword intent that was close at hand, as cold as the wind, like the sickle of death...... How similar to this silver light!

Again, again......

Really, I hate this feeling of powerlessness.

At the moment of life and death, the young man resolutely drew his sword, and the sword qi bloomed like an ice lotus.
