"Yes. It is said that the Blood Demon Sect sent out two Profound Void Realm Elders and the Kōshū sent out one Profound Void Realm Elder to kill Ji Wudao and Ji Wujiang. Their momentum was unprecedentedly strong. If Zhao Xingwu and Yan Song hadn't arrived in time, they might have succeeded."
Shen Wuming said with a solemn expression.
Shen Lang grinned. Two Blood Demon Sect Elders, one Kōshū Elder, and a Golden Corpse. That was four Profound Void Realm experts. Shen Lang couldn't help but inwardly click his tongue.
Excluding the incident in Martial City and the Hero Assembly of the Zaohua Sect, the number of Profound Void Realm experts who appeared to kill Ji Wudao and Yan Song was the highest.
Including Ji Wudao and Yan Song and Azure Dragon Zhao Xingwu, there were a total of eight Profound Void Realm experts. How intense would the battle be?
It seemed that this trip to the Southern Mountain Range wouldn't disappoint him.
"Then the imperial court will just let it go like this?" Shen Lang asked doubtfully.
Shen Wuming shook his head and said, "I don't know about that. However, it's said that the Only Sword Sect seems to be very angry. Because of the death of that Profound Void realm elder, the Only Sword Sect sent out all of their known Profound Void realm experts. The head of the Sword Sect even said that this time, even if the entire world doesn't suppress the Blood Demon Sect and the Corpse Controlling Sect, he, the Only Sword Sect, will suppress them."
Shen Lang was stunned. "Is the Lone Sword Sect going to fight to the death with the Blood Demon Sect and Kōshū?"
Shen Wuming nodded. "More or less. According to others, the Profound Void Realm Elder who died seemed to be the Sword Sect Master's teacher. When the Sword Sect Master just entered the sect, he became the Profound Void Realm Elder's disciple. The Sword Sect Master is overflowing with talent. In less than a hundred years, he cultivated to the Profound Void Realm. He doesn't seem to be much weaker than Jiuxiao Zhenren."
Shen Lang had already guessed the identity of the Lone Sword Sect Master. Who among the people who could sit on the helm of the twenty-one forces weren't outstanding talents? If it was a mediocre person, even if his father was a peerless expert of the Immortal Martial Realm, he wouldn't be able to sit on the seat.
The Solitude Sword Sect was the only sect among the twenty-one forces that mainly cultivated the way of the sword. Even among the four sects, its strength was ranked among the best.
Among the four sects, the strongest was the Four Symbols Sect, followed by the Lone Sword Sect, followed by the Tian Luo Sect, and lastly, the Stellar Pavilion.
The reason why the Four Symbols Sect was so strong was because their cultivation technique was too strong. The Savage Art of Four Symbols was the strongest body cultivation technique among the twenty-one forces. The Lei Family's Five Lightning Mysterious Art was inferior.
The Lei Clan was famous because of the special characteristics of their lightning-type Zhen Qi, while the Four Symbols Sect walked the path of pure body refinement. It was said that when the four Venerables of the Four Symbols Sect worked together and set up the Four Symbols Great Formation, they could even contend against an expert of the Immortal Martial Realm.
However, it was only a rumor. According to Shen Lang's estimation, it shouldn't have reached the level of contending against an Immortal Martial Realm. Otherwise, it wouldn't just be a rumor.
After that, Shen Lang said a few more words to Shen Wuming and left.
This time, Shen Lang came back to tell Shen Wuming to be more vigilant and to send more people to scout for information in the Eastern Region. In any case, there were rogue cultivators. It would be a waste if they didn't use them. Although the Blood Demon Sect wouldn't come to the Eastern Region, they still had to be on guard.
Shen Lang returned to his courtyard. The Sword Saint had already returned to his room to rest. Shen Lang had just opened the door when he smelled the fragrance of food.
"Young master, you're back," Shen Qing was sitting at the table with her chin in her hands. When she saw Shen Lang open the door, she happily stood up and said, "Young master, you're back."
Shen Lang smiled and said, "Yes, Qing 'er is still the best. Every time I come back, I can smell the fragrance of food."
Shen Lang picked up his chopsticks, picked up a piece of fish and put it into his mouth, "Oh, not bad. Qing 'er's cooking is getting better and better."
Shen Qing picked up the wine pot and poured a cup of wine for Shen Lang. She said happily, "Young master, you should eat more. The next time you come back, my cooking will definitely be better."
Shen Lang laughed heartily, "Alright, if your skills improve, this young master will reward you handsomely."
Shen Qing's big eyes suddenly flashed and asked, "Young master, what reward?"
Shen Lang smiled mysteriously, "I can't say, I can't say."
Seeing that Shen Lang was teasing her, Shen Qing covered her mouth and laughed, "Well, then Qing 'er will wait for young master's reward."
"Haha, don't worry. When your young master makes a gift, it will definitely be of high quality. I guarantee you'll be satisfied." Shen Lang laughed.
...
Night fell. Lin City was even more lively at night than during the day. Fireworks could be found everywhere.
Lin City was a big city in the entire Jiangzhou. Otherwise, the Li family would not have settled in Lin City.
The Shen Family was brightly lit. The guards carried torches and constantly patrolled back and forth in the Shen Family's courtyard.
A few people dressed in luxurious black and gold robes silently appeared in the courtyard of the Shen family.
Then, those people identified the direction and walked straight to Shen Lang's courtyard.
The patrolling guards did not notice the arrival of these uninvited guests at all and continued to patrol step by step.
The door to Shen Lang's room opened and closed.
A few figures appeared in Shen Lang's room.
"Emperor."
These people were Ximen Chuixue and the others.
Shen Lang, who was sitting cross-legged on the bed, slowly opened his eyes and said lightly, "You're here."
Just as Ximen Chuixue and the others entered the Shen Family, Won Jin-yang, who lived in Shen Lang's courtyard, sensed them.
They were all experts of the Profound Void Martial Stage. Even if Ximen Chuixue and the others hid well, it was impossible for Won Jin-yang not to notice them at such a close distance. Ximen Chuixue and the others did not intend to hide. They just slightly restrained their aura to prevent the martial artists of the Shen Family from discovering them.
Ximen Chuixue and the others had just entered Shen Lang's room when Won Jin-yang followed.
Won Jin-yang had just entered Shen Lang's room when he felt a murderous aura rushing towards him.
"Haha, we're on the same side." Won Jin-yang hurriedly greeted them.
What a joke, the room was filled with the Kings of Hell from the Hades. If they misunderstood, he would be torn apart in an instant.
Shen Lang slowly stood up and said coldly, "This time, all of you will follow me to the Southern Region. King Yanluo and King Cakravarti will follow Zhang Tianling and the others. King Chujiang and King Pingdeng will act in secret. Let Zhong Kui follow as well. The more people, the better."
"As for Houtu and the others, let them stay in the Eastern Region. This time, the Southern Region will be very chaotic. With their strength, it is very likely that they will be in danger. Moreover, I feel that this time, the Eastern Region will not be peaceful."
Ximen Chuixue and the others clasped their fists and said, "We obey Emperor's decree."
Won Jin-yang looked at Ximen Chuixue and the others and could not help but secretly click his tongue. Just from the aura alone, none of these people were weaker than him. Moreover, he knew that the people of the Hades could not be judged by common sense. It was said that every person of the Hades was invincible in the same realm. No one had ever seen a person of the Hades lose in the same realm.
