Ever since the fight between Ye Chen and Shi Potian had ended, almost all of the disciples from the top martial institutions had fought against each other, and none of them seemed to want to fight again.
"Brother Ye, are you alright?" Seeing Ye Chen's pale face, Luo Hanshan thought that Ye Chen was suffering from some serious side effects after using the [Heart Refining].
Ye Chen shook his head, "Just a small thing, brother Luo, don't worry."
Luo Hanshan said, "You'd better not use this move in the future, it's too dangerous, either you or the enemy will die."
"Thank you, brother Luo."
This Luo Hanshan was a nice guy, he was neither arrogant nor rash, never discouraged, and always treated people with kindness. He never acted like the second brother or the son of the leader of the Sky Cloud Martial School.
Luo Hanshan grinned and said, "You are a treasure of our Sky Cloud Martial School, how can I not care about you?"
Hearing him, the Head Elder and the Fourth Elder also grinned.
The sun slowly went down.
The fighting performance was coming to an end.
Zhuang Qingxian stood up and said, "Everyone, although the fighting performance is over, the celebration banquet is not. There will be a banquet in the evening, I hope you can all come."
"No problem, we rarely come to the Emerald Martial Palace, we are not in a hurry to leave."
"Since there will be a banquet for us, let's enjoy ourselves!"
"Leader Zhuang, don't worry, we will definitely attend the banquet."
It was already late, and it was not convenient for them to travel. Therefore, they didn't refuse and decided to stay in the Emerald Martial Palace for the night, and leave the next morning.
…
The banquet was very sumptuous, everyone started to eat.
In a secret hall of the Emerald Martial Palace.
The hall was brightly lit, and the elders of the top four martial institutions were sitting in the hall. The leader of the Emerald Martial Palace, Zhuang Qingxian, was sitting in the first seat, and two inner elders of the Emerald Martial Palace were sitting beside him.
Zhuang Qingxian glanced at the crowd and said, "I have called you all to attend this meeting because I have an important announcement."
The Head Elder of the Rudra Martial School was a beautiful woman, about thirty-five years old. She said, "What is it, is it related to the top five martial institutions?"
"Related to the top five martial institutions?"
Hearing the woman's words, the others seemed to be thinking about something, and their faces turned serious.
Zhuang Qingxian nodded, "It's indeed related to the five major sects, but it's not that serious for now. Half a month ago, a disciple of our Emerald Martial Palace found a branch of the Ghost Corpse Mountain by chance. Although he didn't manage to sneak in, judging from the security around it, it is undoubtedly one of the most important strongholds of the Ghost Corpse Mountain, which is used to train the new generation of Ghost Guards. "
The branch of the Ghost Corpse Mountain!
Ghost Guards!
Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air. The incident of Malevolent Earth Sect being annihilated was still vivid in their minds.
The Ghost Man was one of the one hundred and eight ghost warriors of the Nine Evil Cult, and his power was as deep as the ocean. Although he hadn't fully recovered from his injuries, and hadn't reached his peak, he was still not someone that the leaders of the top martial institutions could compete with, even if they joined hands. The Ghost Man used to live in the Ghost Corpse Mountain. Later on, a great war broke out, and the Ghost Corpse Mountain was destroyed. However, its name was still there, and it became a symbol of the Ghost Man's power.
Besides the five loyal ghost servants, the Ghost Man also had a large number of ghost guards. The ghost guards were divided into four levels. The low level ghost guards were the weakest, equivalent to Late Condensing Reality Realm warriors. The mid level ghost guards were equivalent to Early Clasping Yuan Realm warriors. The high level ghost guards were at Mid Clasping Yuan Realm, and above them were the top ghost guards at Late Clasping Yuan Realm. Each level of ghost guards had a ghost guard leader, who was the most powerful ghost guard of the same level.
If that was all, there would be no need to worry too much. After all, it was not that easy to increase one's cultivation, and training ghost guards was not something that could be done in a day or two.
However, the reason why the Ghost Man was able to rank in the upper middle level among the one hundred and eight ghost warriors was not because of his own power. Instead, he relied on the method of training ghost guards. No one knew where he found a scroll that could stimulate the potential of the human body. This scroll could allow ordinary people to have a cultivation speed that was even faster than geniuses. Of course, there were also disadvantages. Because of the excessive stimulation of potential, the ghost guards who trained in this scroll could not live past the age of forty. Only a few of them could live past the age of forty, and their bodies would start to deteriorate. They would age prematurely.
Because of this, the ghost guards of the Ghost Corpse Mountain were all extremely cruel and evil. They wanted to enjoy everything they could before the age of forty, and they did not care about anything at all.
The Head Elder of the North Snow Martial Academy said, "Leader Zhuang, you mean, we should destroy the Ghost Corpse Mountain's branch?"
"That's right, we can't let the Ghost Corpse Mountain rise again. We have to do everything we can to weaken the Ghost Corpse Mountain's power before the Ghost Man fully recovers. Otherwise, in a few years, the five top-ranked martial institutions and the entire Windy Nation's martial world will face a disaster."
As the leader of the five top-ranked martial institutions, the Emerald Martial Palace not only needed to suppress the other four top-ranked martial institutions, but also needed to eliminate all the dangers of the Windy Nation. Otherwise, they would be the first ones to suffer.
The Head Elder of the Sky Cloud Martial School nodded, "That's right, I agree with Leader Zhuang's suggestion. Do you have any plans? Besides, we are still not sure how powerful that branch of the Ghost Corpse Mountain is. If we attack it recklessly, I'm afraid something unexpected might happen. "
The Fifth Elder of the Purple Sun Martial School sneered, "Since when did the Sky Cloud Martial School become so timid? It's just a branch of the Ghost Corpse Mountain, how powerful can it be?"
The tall and sturdy Fourth Elder retorted, "How about your Purple Sun Martial School take the lead?"
"Facing an external enemy, the five top-ranked martial institutions should work together. If our Purple Sun Martial School takes the lead, wouldn't that be breaking the rule? Don't even mention it." The Fifth Elder of the Purple Sun Martial School glared at the Fourth Elder of the Sky Cloud Martial School.
Seeing this, the Head Elder of the Rudra Martial School shook his head and said, "Let's hear what Leader Zhuang has to say first."
Zhuang Qingxian sorted out his thoughts and said, "I think the five top-ranked martial institutions should each send out a group of warriors to attack the Ghost Corpse Mountain's branch together. In each group, there should be at least three Late Clasping Yuan Realm warriors, seven Mid Clasping Yuan Realm warriors, and fifteen Early Clasping Yuan Realm warriors. The total number should be over a hundred. Of course, we can also bring some of our disciples to train themselves in the battles."
"Great, let's do that! When should we do it? "The North Snow Martial Academy's style had always been swift and decisive, just like their blade skills.
"The eighth of August!"
Zhuang Qingxian continued, "Tomorrow morning, you have to be careful on your way back. I suspect that some people from the Ghost Corpse Mountain have sneaked into the Emerald Martial Palace. They might try to harm you."
If it weren't for the fact that the Ghost Corpse Mountain was right under his nose, Zhuang Qingxian wouldn't have reminded them at all. After all, all of them were top-ranked inner elders of the four top-ranked martial institutions. Even one death would be a great loss, not to mention those talented disciples who could become the pillars of their martial institutions in the future.
However, for the long term, Zhuang Qingxian had to say it out loud. Otherwise, if they were ambushed on their way back, some people would start to suspect the Emerald Martial Palace, and it would be even more difficult for them to work together in the future. At the very least, the Emerald Martial Palace was the overlord of the Windy Nation. One or two top-ranked inner elders and talented disciples would not be able to shake their foundation, so there was no need to worry too much.
Late at night.
The starlight was dim, and the moon was hiding in the clouds.
The ground was pitch black.
A chopstick-shaped insect with four pairs of wings flew up from a luxurious yard, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
In the Green Willow House.
Under the crystal lamp, Ye Chen started reading the sword manual from the beginning again.
The battle this afternoon had benefited him a lot. His understanding of swordsmanship had also deepened. Especially after seeing so many experts of the younger generation spar with each other, it had broadened his horizons a lot. In this regard, he felt that he was far from reaching the limit of what he could achieve. He wanted to gain some insights from the sword manual.
As he flipped through the pages of the sword manual, Ye Chen's eyes shone even brighter.
In the other residences, none of the young warriors who had participated in the fight this afternoon had fallen asleep. Just like Ye Chen, they had all learned a lot from the sword manual. As long as they could digest all of these, they would definitely be able to make further progress and surpass their opponents who were at the same level as them.
The night was getting darker, and the Emerald Martial Palace was in a dead silence.
…
In the morning, Ye Chen and the others immediately bid farewell and came to the entrance of the Emerald Martial Palace.
Swoosh!
He blew a whistle that contained his Zhen Qi.
The Wind Vulture, which was standing on a mountain not far away, flew over at an extremely high speed and landed in front of the five of them.
Getting on the vulture, the Head Elder said in a deep voice, "On our way back, we need to rest and store up our strength, and prepare for the upcoming battle."
Luo Hanshan was shocked and asked, "Head Elder, what happened?"
The Fourth Elder shook his head and responded, "Don't ask too much, maybe we have been worrying too much."
Hearing this, Ye Chen, Luo Hanshan and Luo Hanshan's eyes flashed with a strange light. Did something big happen? Last night, the leader of the Emerald Martial Palace had called them to the banquet because of this.
The Wind Vulture flew into the clouds, its speed instantly broke through the sound barrier, and flew away at lightning speed.
In the afternoon.
The Wind Vulture was already around twenty thousand miles away from the Emerald Martial Palace.
A strange bug brushed past the Wind Vulture, which attracted Ye Chen's attention. Soon, a few more bugs were discovered. Perhaps it was because the Wind Vulture was too fast and those bugs were relatively small, neither the Head Elder nor the Fourth Elder noticed them.
When the ninth bug was discovered, Ye Chen couldn't help but ask, "Head Elder, what's wrong with these bugs?"
The Head Elder turned around and took a glance at Ye Chen. Seeing that he didn't seem to be joking, he hurriedly stopped the Wind Vulture, looked around, and immediately found a chopstick-shaped bug.
"Come here!"
The Head Elder waved his hand, and that chopstick-shaped bug was sucked into the Head Elder's hand without any resistance.
Squeak, squeak, squeak …
The bug was around four inches long, slim and black, with four pairs of thin black wings on its back. Its head was a round ball, which was filled with compound eyes, which made it look extremely creepy and scary. At this moment, the chopstick-shaped bug was struggling in the Head Elder's hand, trying to break through the Zhen Qi barrier and fly out.
With a single glance, the Head Elder and the Fourth Elder's faces darkened.
The Fourth Elder said word by word, "Four-winged Black Demon Bug."
Luo Hanshan was shocked, "Is this the Four-winged Black Demon Bug that was raised by the Ghost Artist, one of the one hundred and eight ghost warriors of the Nine Evil Cult? It's said that this bug is extremely fast, and can be used as a spy. Although it's small, it's as powerful as a third-grade demon beast."
He was the son of the leader of the Sky Cloud Martial School, and he knew quite a lot about the Nine Evil Cult's annihilation. Therefore, he immediately realized what was going on once he heard the name of the chopstick-shaped bug.
"Indeed, prepare for battle! Our every move is under the enemy's surveillance, they should be not far from here. "The Head Elder shouted.
