Inside the underground palace.
The huge ice jade mountain gradually shrank, turning into a statue sitting cross-legged, very similar to Dugu Ao inside.
The icy mist was hazy and cold.
Bi Qiu knelt on the ground, her body trembling. "This servant knows her mistake. Please punish me, Young Master!"
"Shan Gui Xiong is dead? Killed by a Martial Cultivator? And even killed by the 36 Heavenly Secrets Guards? "
Inside the statue, Dugu Ao opened his eyes, which flashed with electricity.
"That's right …"
Bi Qiu felt cold sweat dripping down her face. "We did not expect that Martial Cultivator to be on the Heavenly Phenomenon Ranking …
"Even if Elder Shan is no match for a Heavenly Phenomenon cultivator, with the 36 Heavenly Secrets Guards, it should not be a problem for him to protect himself … What about the information about the Martial Cultivator?"
Dugu Ao snorted coldly, and Bi Qiu's body immediately trembled as if she was enduring immense pain.
"The Martial Cultivator … calls himself Wu Ming. His birthplace is unknown, and he first appeared in Xingwu County. He displayed unparalleled martial cultivation and called himself a Daoist … He is currently on the Heavenly Phenomenon Ranking and is called 'Fallen Deity' …"
She was drenched in cold sweat, but she still bit her lip and reported the latest information.
By the time she was done, Bi Qiu looked like she had been fished out of the water.
"You already know the pain of the Yin-Yang Divine Talisman. Since the punishment is over, let's forget about what happened just now. But this Fallen Deity? His background is so mysterious? And he is so young … "
Dugu Ao muttered, "Keep an eye on this person. I have a feeling that he might be the biggest variable in my plan … Unfortunately … If not for the fact that I have yet to master my cultivation, I would really like to meet him personally …"
"No martial cultivator in the world can compare to Young Master in terms of talent!"
Bi Qiu said resolutely.
"Hehe … You are right!"
Dugu Ao laughed coldly. "Right now, the only thing standing in my way is the Martial Monarch Realm! Fortunately, I have already absorbed most of the Myriad Mountains Quintessential Qi. In another half a month, I will definitely be able to merge it into the Ultimate Two Mystic Technique! "
"Congratulations, Young Master! Congratulations, Young Master! "
"However, we can't relax now, especially when it comes to the variable, Fallen Deity. Take my token and summon Elders Tiancan and Dique. Then, order all the Heavenly Alliance branches to secretly monitor him …"
At this point, Dugu Ao changed the topic. "How is my fiancée? She was very noisy before … "
"Reporting to Young Master …"
Bi Qiu immediately replied, "The Green Lotus Saintess has been wandering around Maple City recently. She seems to be plotting to steal the Red Leaf Pill from the Four Major Forces …"
"Hehe … This lass wants to break through to the Godfiend realm as soon as possible so that she can surpass me and cancel the engagement. She's dreaming! My ancestor is Dugu Kuangfu, so how could I not know that this Fiendgod Blood Essence is at most slightly useful for nurturing children? Wanting to rely on it to break through is simply the ravings of a fool! "
Dugu Ao smiled coldly and said, "However, she is very scheming. Perhaps she still has some secrets. We have to guard against her!"
"Young Master is wise!"
Bi Qiu felt that she finally grasped an opportunity. She took the initiative to say, "The Green Lotus Saintess only thinks that we control the Azure Lotus Sect's five Lotus Envoys. She does not know that this servant has other channels and finally found out that the Divine Water Old Man once had a secret relationship with the Water Splitting Sword, Shi Shihan … Furthermore, Fallen Deity just appeared in Maple City …"
"Haha … they all bumped into each other!"
Dugu Ao smiled coldly and suddenly made a decision. "I'll suggest to the Azure Lotus Sect that the wedding schedule can be brought forward, right? After I come out of closed-door cultivation, I'll let the Green Lotus Saintess marry into my family … It is rather interesting to admire this lass's despairing face. Haha … "
…
"Martial Monarch Dao Comprehension Seal?"
The carriage sparkled. However, Wu Ming did not think about the Heavenly Alliance at all. Instead, he focused all his attention on this item.
"Unfortunately, this secret record only records … there is no detailed description, much less the location of the hidden treasures …"
To others, this seal might be somewhat mystical or just an ordinary stone with some commemorative value.
However, as long as it was something related to the Martial Monarch, it would have an inconceivable value. Even the Zang Clan would most likely keep it a secret.
"If it is really as I guessed, the Martial Monarch would not have given up on the Dao Comprehension Seal … It is more likely that he carries it with him … Thus, the Martial Monarch Dao Comprehension Seal is most likely not in the Eight Holy Lands but with the Martial Monarch …"
Wu Ming regretfully discovered that everything was back to square one.
If he wanted to find the Dao Comprehension Seal that was suspected to be a Master God's part, he first had to find the Martial Monarch.
Furthermore, the Martial Monarch's disappearance was the greatest mystery in history. If there were really clues, the Eight Holy Lands would have made their move long ago, and it would not have been Wu Ming's turn to come.
"Young Master, where are we going now?"
Lin Xinlan's soft voice came in from outside.
"Yes … to Gentle Wind Sacred City!"
Wu Ming made up his mind.
The Sacred Wind City was where the outer sect of the Heavenly Wind Sacred Land was located. This Sacred Land was one of the Eight Great Sacred Lands like the Greenlotus Sect. Moreover, it was famous for being well-informed. Half of the Four Rankings of Martial Artists that shocked the world came from it.
With the guarantee of the Holy Land of the Martial World, the Sacred City of Gentle Wind naturally became one of the new centers of the continent. It was also a place where information gathered. In terms of information gathering, there was no one in the world who could match it.
"First … I should find the whereabouts of the Martial Emperor or the Dao Comprehension Seal …"
Wu Ming's eyes swiveled as he pondered silently, "Of course … this hope isn't great. I can only pay a visit to this Holy Land … Speaking of which, the Mysterious Underworld True Skill is a fusion of the Wind and Water Ultimate Skills. It can be considered to be fated with me …"
…
The Wu Dynasty's Imperial Capital was located in the center of the continent. If one continued north, the weather would gradually turn cold, and they would arrive at the North Wind Region.
This region was covered in ice and snow all year round, and the north wind was cold, with the Beifeng County being the coldest.
Hu hu!
At this time, in the North Wind Region, white snowflakes slowly drifted down, the land was covered in silver, and the official road was even more silent.
Amidst the bitter cold where one's breath turned into ice, a black hurricane rushed over at an unbelievable speed.
Thud thud!
When it got closer, it was discovered that it was a knight. The steed it sat on was pure black, and it was covered in a layer of frost. Its shiny fur was still swaying in the wind. It could be seen that not only was this horse a rare good steed with an excellent bloodline, its owner must have cherished it very much.
The knight on the horse was wrapped in a black cloak, and his chest was bulging. At this moment, he waved his whip without hesitation, "Go!"
Pa!
The horsewhip fell fiercely, leaving streaks of blood on the horse's buttocks.
Hu hu!
Two thick clouds of white gas came out from the horse's nostrils. At this moment, the good steed seemed to understand its owner's determination, and used all its strength to turn into a gust of wind. Blood-red sweat actually flowed out from the pores on its body.
Ferghana Horse!
Even if this horse was placed in the largest carriage company in the North Wind Region, it would be the most precious treasure, and could be sold for a sky-high price!
But at this moment, its owner did not pity the horse at all.
"Wa wa …"
Suddenly, a wave of crying sounded like lightning, causing the knight's movements to become sluggish.
Bang!
Even though his steed was a divine steed, it had reached its limit at this moment. It suddenly stepped on a dark pit, and with a miserable cry, it fell to the ground.
Whoosh!
At the same time that the steed fell, the knight on the horse nimbly dodged, like a big mouse that had become intelligent. He sharply fell from the horse's back, and then rolled gently on the snowy ground. Soon after, he stood up and shook off the snow. Unexpectedly, he did not suffer the slightest injury, showing off his excellent Qinggong skills.
"Wa wa! Wa wa! "
At this moment, the crying in his arms became even louder.
The knight was stunned, and then immediately opened the bundle in front of his chest. There was actually a small swaddling cloth inside, made of high-quality natural silk satin. Inside, there was a baby with thick eyebrows and big eyes, crying loudly and clearly. He did not suffer the slightest injury from the previous violent movements. Obviously, he was specially protected.
"Black Wind …"
Looking at the crying baby, the knight gritted his teeth, and then looked at his beloved steed.
At this moment, although the steed could not stand up, its pair of large eyes were looking in the direction of its owner, revealing endless nostalgia.
There seemed to be tears in the knight's eyes. Suddenly, he waved his hand, stretched out his right hand, and stabbed his nails down!
"Neigh, neigh …"
The Black Wind Horse cried in pain, and five bloody holes appeared on its neck, gurgling with blood.
"Come!"
He brought the swaddling cloth forward, dipped a brocade handkerchief in the blood, and fed it to the thirsty baby.
Although the horse's blood was fishy, it was boiling hot, and it warmed the body. The baby seemed to be an extraordinary person, and only felt a little uncomfortable. Soon after, he gulped down the blood and fell asleep again.
"Black Wind …"
At this moment, the knight murmured, "There is no one for dozens of miles. I have to protect the young master, so I have to let you down …"
After saying a few words, he also stepped forward and drank the horse's blood.
After a few mouthfuls, he felt his stomach was boiling hot, and his spirit was refreshed. Only then did he stand up and look around.
The wind and snow were thick and heavy. Even a good steed would not be able to live for long if it fell and lost a lot of blood.
Li Fengyu tidied up the bundle, gritted his teeth, and cut off one of the horse's legs. Using his Qinggong, he disappeared into the forest by the roadside.
…
"Chirp chirp!"
There was no telling how long it had been, but the snow had covered the dead horse.
A few birds that looked like grey vultures landed, opened the snow, and gnawed on the dead horse. Some of them were hovering in the sky, making some kind of signal. Thud!
Thud!
Dozens of riders approached. The vultures cheered the moment their leader got off the horse.
"Night Illuminating Black Scale Horse?"
The leader of the cavalrymen was a middle-aged man with a hooked nose. He slapped the snow, and the frozen body was revealed.
His eyes glittering, he squatted and examined the body carefully. His meticulousness was quite similar to that of the vultures.
"Li Fengyu fell off the horse here two to four hours ago …"
A moment later, the man stood up. "He cut off another horse's leg. Does he want to use it as food? He must've brought few supplies with him. Right now, he only has a few mountain roads to choose from. Get off the horse and chase after him! Even if we have to chase him to the end of the world, we must kill the little bastard and eliminate him! "
"Yes, sir!"
The cavalrymen immediately got off the horse and dashed in the snow as if they were flying with their Qinggong. They were all top-notch martial arts experts!
