Whoosh!
A gentle breeze swept across the sky like chaotic blades. A cultivator at the second level of the True Martial Realm, who could not dodge in time, was killed on the spot.
"The 13th one!"
Peng Qing read his mission silently as he sheathed his saber.
"Legacy Mission: Killing one is a crime, killing 10,000 is a hero, killing nine million is a hero!"
"Mission Requirement: Kill a certain number of True Martial Realm cultivators!"
"Current Mission Completion Rate: 1310000!"
"Mission Time Limit: Three Years!"
"Mission Reward: Complete Legacy!"
"Mission Failure: Lose the Legacy!"
As for the mission requirements …
Peng Qing did not feel much about it.
After all, this was a game world. No matter how many people he killed, they were just NPCs.
In his eyes, this was just a set of cold data.
What Peng Qing really cared about was …
10,000 True Martial Realm cultivators.
This was not a small number. In half a month, he had only killed 13 of them by using the Wild Wind Chaotic Blade Slash and the low-grade Spirit Weapon, the Weeping Blood Blade, which Dao Nu had given him.
Meanwhile …
Just as Peng Qing was collecting his spoils of war, Dao Nu's voice was heard from the ring. "There are limited True Martial Realm cultivators in the True Dominion. If you want to complete the mission, it would be best to head to the Spirit Dominion."
"Given my current strength, wouldn't it be too risky to head to the Spirit Dominion?"
"Although you are at the first level of the True Martial Realm, you have the Weeping Blood Blade, which belonged to the previous owner. This is a weapon that can kill even more people.
As long as it kills enough people, it will transform and become stronger.
Given your current strength and the Weeping Blood Blade, ordinary Inner Energy Realm cultivators are no match for you.
If you head to the Spirit Dominion, you can run away even if you can't defeat them, as long as you do not deliberately provoke Spirit Martial Realm cultivators. You don't need me to teach you this principle, do you? "
"The Spirit Dominion?" Peng Qing repeated.
Dao Nu's old voice added, "The True Martial Realm cultivators in the True Dominion are the peak. If too many True Martial Realm cultivators are lost, everyone will be on guard.
Although there are not many experts in the True Dominion, the sects have a strong foundation. If they use these methods, it will be very difficult to contend with them.
On the contrary, although the True Martial Realm in the Spirit Domain were experts, they were not the top. It was normal for some True Martial Realm experts to fall in battle.
If you want to complete the mission and obtain the supreme inheritance, you must have courage that ordinary people don't have. "
Dao Nu's words …
His words scattered Peng Qing's hesitation.
Indeed.
Although he was at the first level of the Martial Realm, his comprehensive strength had already surpassed this level.
In addition, he had killed thirteen Cultivators of the True Martial Realm, so he had almost reached the peak of the first level of the True Martial Realm. It would not be long before he could break into the second level of the True Martial Realm.
Thinking about it this way, Spirit Realm wasn't out of the question.
"What's going on? Another elder is missing!"
Zhang Jiye's face was cold as he looked at the crowd below. He felt a surge of anger in his chest that was about to explode at any moment.
One of them braced himself and replied, "When we rushed over, there was only a mess left on the spot. I'm afraid that Elder Liu has already met his end."
"Sect Master, in just three days, three of our elders have gone missing, and one of them has been confirmed dead. I'm afraid the same is true for the other two.
Could it be that the other sects are secretly targeting us?! "
"Investigate. Focus on those three sects and see who is most likely to do it," Zhang Jiye suppressed his anger and said coldly.
His sect only had a dozen or so True Martial Realm martial artists.
Now they had lost three Martial Realm cultivators. The loss was not small at all.
In Zhang Jiye's mind, the culprit must be an enemy of the sect.
As for whether it was the Mutants who did it.
He had never considered this question at all.
Even if the Mutants had the strength to do it, the sect had not been destroyed. Those who had died in the hands of the Mutants could be resurrected, even if there was a three-day buffer period.
However, it had already been three days since the first elder had fallen.
No resurrection!
That meant the culprit was not the Mutants.
Some judgments were so simple, but in Zhang Jiye's eyes, they were iron-clad facts.
He just wanted to know now.
Which sect was it that wanted to make a move on him?
Zhang Jiye had already felt as if a layer of black fog had enveloped him. In the dark, there seemed to be scarlet eyes coldly staring at him, ready to pounce on him and give him a fatal blow at any time.
At the same time …
The other sects in the True Dominion were also secretly investigating.
This was because they had lost a few Martial Realm cultivators during this period.
—
In the study room, which was as bright as day, Marquis Beiyun was holding a book and studying it carefully. The spirit incense on the table lit up, its fragrance filling the entire room.
Tuk tuk!
"Marquis, I have something to discuss with you!"
"Come in!"
Marquis Beiyun said faintly. However, his gaze was still fixed on the book in his hand.
Yi ya!
A slight sound was heard, and the door was pushed open. The person who came in was a tall man in casual clothes.
When he saw Marquis Beiyun, he immediately lowered his head and cupped his fists. "Greetings, Marquis!"
"Tell me, what happened?"
"We have found the remnants of Marquis Yifeng!"
"Huh?" Marquis Beiyun's hand, which was holding the book, paused. His gaze finally landed on that person as he asked, "Where is he?"
"He is outside. He said he wants to see you, Marquis!"
"Is there anyone else besides him?"
"I did not see him."
"Ask him to come to the side hall to see me!"
Marquis Beiyun put down the book in his hand, stood up, and walked out of the study room.
That person followed behind Marquis Beiyun. When he left the study room, he turned around and respectfully closed the door again.
In the side hall.
Marquis Beiyun sat on the main seat. Below him stood a middle-aged man in shabby clothes who smelled of dust and carried a bag on his back.
"Greetings, Marquis Beiyun!" After saying that, the middle-aged man knelt down directly.
Marquis Beiyun's expression was gentle as he said with a chuckle, "I am very curious. Why did the remnants of Marquis Yifeng choose to walk into a trap?"
"I was originally from the Great Zhao Kingdom. However, I was bewitched by Marquis Yifeng and had no choice but to embark on this path of no return. Now that I have come to realize my mistake, I have specially come to ask for your forgiveness!"
"Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"
Cheng Zhong's body trembled slightly, but he still replied firmly, "I am afraid. However, since I have done something wrong, I only have myself to blame even if I lose my character. I just hope that Marquis Beiyun can see that I am willing to admit my mistake and be lenient!"
Marquis Beiyun picked up the teacup beside him and gently touched the teacup with the lid. He said, "A prodigal who has turned over a new leaf is more precious than gold. This is certainly a good thing. However, I heard that the remnants of Marquis Yifeng are by your side. Where is he now?"
"Marquis Beiyun, please take a look!" Cheng Zhong untied the bag on his back and raised it high above his head with both hands.
Seeing this, the guard at the side stepped forward and took the bag. Then, he opened the bag and revealed a black box.
Then, the guard took the box and walked to Marquis Beiyun's side. He handed it forward and said respectfully, "Marquis Beiyun, please take a look!"
"Open it!"
"Yes!"
Hearing this, the guard immediately opened the box.
Suddenly.
A foul smell came from the box.
Marquis Beiyun glanced at the box and his eyes seemed to fluctuate. Then, he waved his hand and signaled the guard to leave with the box.
Then.
He stood up from the main seat and came to Cheng Zhong. He shook his head and said with a smile, "You did a good job. A wise man submits to circumstances!"
Cheng Zhong still did not dare to raise his head. He replied fawningly, "Marquis Yifeng was wrong. The son has to pay his father's debt. The existence of Marquis Yifeng's son is naturally a mistake.
I'm just putting righteousness before family. Everything is for the sake of the imperial court! "
"What a good way to put righteousness before family!"
Marquis Beiyun nodded and the smile on his face became even brighter. However, the words that came out of his mouth made Cheng Zhong's smile freeze on his face.
"Men, drag him away and feed him to the dogs!"
"Yes!"
The guards on both sides stepped forward and directly lifted Cheng Zhong up and dragged him outside.
Cheng Zhong immediately panicked. He struggled desperately and shouted, "Marquis Beiyun, I've already made up for my mistakes. Please spare my life. Marquis Beiyun …"
"Didn't you say that you brought this upon yourself?"
"Marquis Beiyun, I was wrong. Please spare my life. I'm willing to be at your beck and call. I won't have the slightest disloyalty!"
Cheng Zhong shouted crazily. He wanted to use his Quintessential Essence to break free. However, the two guards' actions were like pliers that firmly locked him in place. There was even a power that far exceeded the Real Martial Arts Realm that imprisoned his Quintessential Essence.
Then.
Cheng Zhong shouted as he was dragged away.
Marquis Beiyun's gentle face gradually turned cold. He looked at the door that had disappeared and muttered to himself, "Wang Yin, I'm afraid you didn't expect that your last son would be cut off in this way!"
He seemed to have seen Marquis Yifeng's high-spirited appearance.
Marquis Beiyun could not help but feel a little emotional when he compared the current situation with his entire family being killed and the last bloodline being cut off.
Not long after.
A guard came to report.
"Marquis, he has been dealt with!"
"Very good. Bury the remains of Marquis Yifeng's son as well!"
"Yes!"
After the guard left.
Just as Marquis Beiyun was about to leave, someone came to see him.
"Marquis, there is a letter regarding the True Dominion of Mount Liang!"
"Present it!"
"Marquis, please take a look!"
That person respectfully handed over a letter with both hands. Marquis Beiyun returned to his seat and sat down. Then, he stretched out his hand to take the letter and spread it open.
About ten breaths of time later.
Marquis Beiyun put down the letter, looked at the person in front of him, and said, "Take my token and go to the Ministry of Revenue. Ask them to write an official document saying that I have agreed to build a city for the Yuan Sect."
"Yes, Marquis Beiyun!"
After the guard left.
Marquis Beiyun did not do anything, but the letter quietly turned into powder and disappeared.
"Build a city?"
"It seems that the Origin Sect is developing faster than I thought!"
He had been keeping an eye on Yuan Zong's recent actions. After all, Beiyun Mansion was under his jurisdiction. Nothing could escape his eyes and ears.
When he found out that the Origin Sect had more than 1,000 Internal Energy Cultivators, Marquis Beiyun basically understood that the Origin Sect should have been promoted to a fourth-level force.
The destruction of the Seven Sects had caused quite a commotion.
However, the Origin Sect had a good reason to do so. Therefore, after this incident caused some commotion, it did not continue to spread. Instead, it slowly calmed down.
Marquis Beiyun had originally planned to warn Qin Shujian if the Origin Sect destroyed the Seven Sects and wantonly attacked the other True Dominion Sects with the strength of the sect.
However, after the destruction of the Seven Sects, things had calmed down.
Regarding this …
Marquis Beiyun once again thought highly of Qin Shujian.
He had potential!
He could only advance and retreat!
Such a person was a rare talent no matter where he was.
Just as the official document was being approved …
The Origin Sect was already preparing to build a city.
Large amounts of silver had been spent. Then, large amounts of materials had been purchased from the Carrier Business. The large amount of transactions had made Gu Feng smile from ear to ear during this period.
As the steward of the branch …
If the transactions and profits of the branch that he was in charge of were high enough, he would be able to obtain many benefits.
Now that the Origin Sect was building a city …
The amount of silver needed to be spent was in the millions.
A transaction of such a large amount could not be ignored no matter where it was.
Needless to say …
There were not many rich people in the Liang Mountain True Dominion. As a result, the transactions of the branch each month ranged from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands.
It was hard for Gu Feng not to be excited now that he had suddenly received a large order worth millions.
Furthermore, given his relationship with the Origin Sect …
The more powerful the Origin Sect was, the more benefits he would be able to obtain.
Therefore …
Gu Feng had put in a lot of effort this time to help the Origin Sect prepare enough materials to build a city.
Meanwhile …
Qin Shujian had asked someone to collect a few large pieces of ore materials. Then, he carved and cast them bit by bit according to the appearance of the Thousand Mountain Blood.
That's right!
He was following the instructions of the Cosmic Bow and building a Dao artifact stone statue.
However, this matter …
Qin Shujian did not ask someone else to do it. Instead, he completed it himself.
On the peak of the Liang Mountain …
There was a total of seven pieces of black ore that were about 20 feet tall. Qin Shujian was holding the Thousand Mountain Blood in his hand. He was relying on the appearance of this Dao artifact to carve the ore bit by bit.
The easiest way to connect the Dao artifact's aura with the stone statue was to use the Dao artifact to carve the stone statue out personally.
Although the ore in front of him was very hard, it was still like paper in front of the Dao artifact. A lot of it was easily shaved off.
When the Cosmic Bow saw this, it was very envious.
It was the dream of any spiritual object to be worshipped by living beings.
If the Dao artifact could use this opportunity to obtain a trace of Zu Bing's power, other spiritual objects could do the same.
The reason why it had a higher spirituality than other spiritual objects was because the Coiling Stone Sect worshipped it day and night.
Unfortunately …!
There were too few people in the Coiling Stone Sect. Even after hundreds of years of worship, its spirituality had increased and it was still a middle-grade Spirit Artifact. It was not even qualified to become a superior-grade Spirit Artifact.
The Cosmic Bow also wanted the people of the Origin Sect to worship it, but it knew very well that this was not realistic.
Other sects treated their Spirit Artifacts as treasures, but the Origin Sect had a Dao artifact.
If it dared to make this request …
The Cosmic Bow even suspected that it would be destroyed by Qin Shujian in an instant.
