In May of the 12th year of Emperor Awakening, Rong City was in a state of emergency. The two tribes of the Barbarians and the Wilderness launched a large-scale attack. Ma Guanshan was transferred back to Rong City, and nearly a hundred cultivators from the Outer Court were conscripted.
The war lasted for more than two months.
In July of the 12th year of Emperor Awakening, the Saint Emperor personally led the army and killed many Desolate Man leaders. He was praised by the world and the morale of the soldiers in Rong City was greatly boosted.
…
After Qu Youfeng's death, the truth couldn't be hidden. The greedy supervisor became the object of disdain.
After the deceiving the emperor, Wang Ba successfully rescued Wang Yuanlang and made a scene in the Lonely Moon Tower. Although no one was killed, the junior commanders were all seriously injured.
After that, Yan Shiyi disappeared. Some said he was killed by Wang Ba, while others said he chose a place to cultivate in seclusion. The day he came out would be the day he would avenge himself.
It was worth mentioning that after Qu Youfeng's death, Skycloud Pavilion immediately changed. However, there were not many changes to the Asura List. Unsurprisingly, Yan Zhaoyang replaced the last person on the Asura List and became the new expert on the Asura List. Although Yan Shiyi was missing, he had pushed Qin Guanyue down to the ninth place.
Yanshan Robber had two masters on the Asura List and joined the ranks of the major forces.
In addition, Skycloud Pavilion added a new Heavenly Favorite List. Like the Asura List, there were 11 places on the list. The requirement to be on the list was to be under the Cultivation Realm and 30 years old.
Among them, Ji Tiansheng had single-handedly killed many Desolate Man leaders and was ranked at the top of the list. It could be said that he deserved his reputation.
In second place was Qin Yiqiu, the only heir of the Qin Clan of Xiliang.
In third place was Lennon, the third prince of the Desolate Man. He cultivated the King's Soul and could fight against a cultivator.
In fourth place was Yan Wushuang, the commander of the Yanshan Robber Swordsman Battalion. He was on the list with his unparalleled fast sword. Since Chen Ping, who was as famous as him, had broken through the Cultivation Realm, he wasn't on the list.
In fifth place was Lord Protector Li Yixiu, the son of the Minister of Finance, Li Boyong.
In sixth place was Lord Lianhai Changjin, the world's number one master.
Ranked seventh was Xiao Sannong, another genius swordsman that appeared after Xiao Sibai of Changping Xiao Clan.
Ranked eighth was the Buddha Diagram of the Willow Forest Monastery, currently the instructor of the Inner Academy.
In eighth place was Prajna Buddha Buddha Diagram of Willow Forest Academy, who was now an instructor of the Academy of Inner Court of the Academy of the Academy of the Academy.
There were two people in the tenth place. The first was Shi Gandang from the Western Liang Military Academy, who was known as a human chariot. The second was also from the Western Liang Military Academy, who was known as a godly archer, Zhao Bingren.

The first problem came from Fu'er. She was very clingy and often ate and slept with him, causing many misunderstandings.
The second worry came from Shen Liuyun. She almost treated him like a three-year-old child. She often came to ask about him. For example, did he eat on time? Did he bathe and sleep on time? She even played matchmaker and other trivial things that had nothing to do with cultivators. Sometimes, she would send some food over. She often had a sudden impulse to cook for him. Every time this happened, it was Yan Li's nightmare.
The third worry came from the treasured weapons. He could not choose between the Parting Cliff and Profound Jun. The former was used in the Hidden Sword Tactics and was blessed by the heavens; the latter was simply tailor-made to kill in one strike. Every single one of them could stand on their own, and every single one of them was unique. However, this was also the source of his troubles. With his current abilities, he could only support a single precious artifact's growth.
For example, in the past half a year, he had used up most of his points to exchange for the Shadowless Starthread and fused it into the Leaving Cliff. Only then did he manage to refine the embryo to its limit, which was a perfect embryo. At this moment, the Leaving Cliff could truly be considered a "real object", a Precious Artifact with an actual form.
However, this did not mean that it could advance. Not to mention the soul stones required for advancement, the large amount of Shadowless Starthread required for advancement was not something that he could afford right now.
To advance a Common Grade Precious Artifact into a Martial Grade Precious Artifact, other than the soul stones, he also needed treasures of the same nature as the precious artifact. The Leaving Cliff was made from pure Shadowless Starthread. Therefore, during the advancement, he needed the same amount of Shadowless Starthread as he had refined the Leaving Cliff. Simply put, two Common Grade Leaving Cliffs could be combined into one Martial Grade Leaving Cliff.
Although he had won a lot of money in the Black Mountain, the Shadowless Starthread could not be bought with money. Stars fell once every hundred years in the Divine Great Land, so the Shadowless Starthread was not much. The supply could not meet the demand. Only the Academy's points could be used to exchange for it.
Profound Jun was not a Precious Artifact yet, but it had the potential to become one. The reason lay in the material. It was originally a Top Grade Precious Artifact, but it was forged by the "fire refining" method. Needless to say, it was strong and sharp, but it could not be put into the Source Sea to be nourished.
It would take a lot of effort for it to continue to grow. Now, Yan Li was trying to "External Refining", which meant constantly infusing Primordial Qi and slowly nourishing it, to see if he could leave a soul mark. If he could, then it could continue to grow.
At this time, the sun was very hot. Yan Li looked at the time, then put away Profound Jun and walked to the Duckweed Garden.
He had been coming frequently recently, but Xiao Chun had already ignored him, minding his own business and cleaning the yard.
"Where is the householder?" Yan Li asked casually.
"Not here," Xiao Chun answered stiffly.
The [Prajna Buddha Diagram] had a special study room, which contained many ancient books that had been transported from the Willow Forest Monastery. Yan Li had come here every day for the past two months in order to find the whereabouts of the Icy Soul Dark Dew.
After he recovered, he asked around and learned that the "Icy Soul Dew" had the effect of prolonging one's life, but it had not been seen in the Divine Great Land for hundreds of years. This item was not a medicinal ingredient, but a liquid formed from a precious jade after it had absorbed the essence of heaven and earth. It had the miraculous effect of stabilizing the soul, prolonging one's life, and consolidating one's realm. It was a treasure that every cultivator dreamed of.
Although he had gained a lot of knowledge in the last two months, he had not found a single clue about the "Icy Soul Dew". He saw that Shen Liuyun's life was slipping away bit by bit. Perhaps she would fall into a deep sleep the next day, never to wake up again.
Moreover, in the last few days, Shen Liuyun had not come to find Yan Li. Her classes had also stopped. Those absurd concerns from before seemed to be her last words, causing Yan Li's heart to burn with anxiety.
No matter how anxious he was, he could not change the current situation. Instead, he could not calm his heart and search for information.
Feeling a bit of a headache, Yan Li put down the book and rubbed the space between his brows. Suddenly, he saw that the sun had already set outside the window. An afternoon had passed without him realizing it.
Xiao Chun brewed a cup of tea and came in, setting it on the table before leaving.
Yan Li knew that the Buddha Prajna had returned. Only with her return would this stubborn little girl take the initiative to brew tea for him. Otherwise, she would not do it even if she was beaten to death.
Drinking a mouthful of tea, he said, "I rarely see the householder go out."
As expected, the Buddha Prajna walked in from outside the door, asking, "Any gains today?"
Yan Li shook his head, saying, "Perhaps there are no clues in these books at all." This one sentence exposed his mood. This was a rarely seen negative attitude from him.
The Buddha Prajna casually picked up a book and sat down in front of the table. She lightly flipped it open, her jade hand caressing the pages. The contents seemed to bore into her heart, and she continued flipping. Although she could not see, she could read much faster than a normal person.
Yan Li instantly felt somewhat ashamed. He said no more, continuing to work hard.
The two quietly read. Time flew, and in the blink of an eye, it was already late at night.
"Young Master Yan, let's stop here for today," The Buddha Prajna closed the book.
"Go rest first, householder. I'll continue reading," Yan Li replied without raising his head.
The Buddha Prajna stood up, saying to the yawning Xiao Chun who was waiting at the side, "Xiao Chun, change a cup of tea for Young Master Yan. You can go to sleep."
Xiao Chun said, "Got it! Miss hasn't even finished her evening lesson. Go quickly. Don't waste a good time of cultivation for the sake of an annoying fellow. "
Yan Li paid him no heed.
After changing a cup of tea for him, Xiao Chun looked carefully at his face, secretly lamenting, 'What a pity that such a good-looking face actually grew on the body of a murderous demon king.'
The oil lamp reflected Yan Li's shadow. It was very long, stretching all the way into the boundless silence of the night. There seemed to be an echo. Listening carefully, it was the neigh of a fine horse.
At the Gate of Golden Light, not far from here, a rider came from the northwest. As he crossed the moat, the horse suddenly whined and fell forward. The rider flew out and landed on the hard bridge. He broke his front teeth and scratched his face, but he didn't care about it. He rushed straight to the gate and shouted in a hoarse voice, "Open the gate! Open the gate! "
"Who goes there?" A shout came from the gate tower.
The rider took out a black token and showed it to the guard on the gate, "Liu Chen, Ruling Fate Warden of the Serene Prefecture, open the gate. I have an urgent report!"
The guard extended his torch and saw a big "Serene" character on the token. He knew that it was the seal of the Serene Provincial Governor.
According to the rules, the gate could not be opened, but the small gate could be an exception. The guard opened the small gate and let the rider in.
The rider borrowed a horse and went straight to the Sacred World Palace. With the seal of the Serene Provincial Governor, he arrived at the Purple Chen Hall of the Palace of Great Clarity without any obstruction.
At this time, a young man wearing armor hurried over and said from afar, "What urgent report from the Serene Provincial Governor that disturbs the peace of the palace in the middle of the night?"
The rider said respectfully, "I can only say it after seeing His Majesty."
The young man was Wang Yuanlang. He was originally guarding outside the palace walls. After the Qu Youfeng incident, he was inexplicably transferred to the inner court. In fact, it was a way for Ji Tiansheng to appease Wang Ba.
Wang Yuanlang didn't know the subtleties of it. He only knew that he was favored by the Sage Emperor and didn't even care about Li Yixiu.
Of course, he couldn't act out against the rider. He could only grab a subordinate and asked, "Have you informed His Majesty?"
"I have already sent someone to the inner court."
Wang Yuanlang nodded majestically. He looked left and right and said unhappily, "Where did that old eunuch Yang An go?"
His subordinate couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. Even Wang Ba didn't dare to call Yang An like that. He reminded, "General, you forgot that His Majesty sent eunuch as an imperial envoy to Changping County's Xiao Clan to discuss the management of Xiao Pavilion."
"Oh, yes, there is such a thing." Wang Yuanlang nodded in satisfaction.
"His Majesty has arrived!" A sharp voice came from Zichen Palace Hall.
Wang Yuanlang immediately called out, "Follow me in and explain things clearly. If the matter isn't as serious as you say, you can do as you see fit!"
The rider followed suit and knelt down in the hall.
"Forget it. What urgent report from Youzhou? "Ji Tiansheng's voice came from behind the curtain.
The rider took a deep breath and said, "Reporting to Your Majesty, the Willow Forest Monastery was massacred by a mysterious person. Apart from Monk Fa Xiang's whereabouts, hundreds of monks died …"
The atmosphere behind the curtain suddenly surged violently. After a while, it calmed down. "Are there any clues?"
The rider said, "On the night of the incident, the citizens of Xiao City saw something strange. They said that someone was flying in the sky."
"Who was it?"
"It was foggy and I couldn't see clearly."
"What else?"
"Nothing."
"I understand. You can go back and rest. Someone, take him to the Imperial Academy of Medicine for treatment. "
After the rider left, Wang Yuanlang woke up from the shock. "Monk Fa Xiang is a super expert ranked third on the Asura List. Who dares to …"
"Wang Yuanlang!" Ji Tiansheng interrupted him.
"Here." Wang Yuanlang knelt on one knee.
"Immediately bring people to Xiao City and protect Yang An's safety. At the same time, find out the truth behind the massacre of the Willow Forest Monastery."
Wang Yuanlang was overjoyed. "I will definitely not disappoint Your Majesty!"
