"Dong, dong, dong …"
Xu Chuan walked into the palace with his head held high. In terms of status and experience, he was one of the few in the Tianji Empire. There were a total of five Sacred Martial Kings in the Tianji Empire, and two of them served the empire. One was Beiming Huan, and the other was General Zhang Cheng. The other three Sacred Martial Kings cultivated in the Tianji Sect and were not under the empire's control. Next were the eleven Sacred Martial Kings, and most of them cultivated in the Tianji Sect. There were only four Sacred Martial Kings in the empire, and Xu Chuan was one of them.
"Thank you for your hard work, Dragon Rider Xu Chuan!"
Beiming Yuan held onto the golden lion head on the throne. His face had a gratified expression as he smiled and said, "Did you bring the corpse of that Demon King level demon spirit?"
"Yes."
Xu Chuan turned his head, grabbed the demon spirit's corpse from the hands of his subordinates and threw it on the red carpet. He smiled and said, "In order to kill this demon king, my dragon mount suffered quite a bit of injury. It really suffered."
Beiming Abyss laughed heartily, "You've worked hard. Men, come and heavily reward Sir Dragon Rider Xu Chuan. Bestow him with 500 catties of gold and 500 catties of silver. In addition, bestow him with the title of a second-class lord and 500 hectares of land!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Xu Chuan bowed. Although the Tianji Dragon Riders were directly under Beiming Abyss's command, they were not part of the Empire's military. Instead, they were a group of independent people. That was why Xu Chuan's rank was only that of a dragon rider, and he did not hold any position within the Empire. As for titles like 'Lord' and so on, those were just empty titles. What Xu Chuan cared about was the gold, silver, and jewels that Beiming Abyss gave him.
Even though he was a Saint Martial King, he still needed to live a luxurious life after entering the secular world to cultivate. Xu Chuan owned a luxurious mansion that was worth ten million gold coins in Tianji City. There were five hundred guards and over thirty beauties in the mansion. If he didn't have these gold and silver rewards, it would probably be difficult for him to continue living such an immortal-like life.
Xu Chuan knelt on one knee and said, "Your Majesty, did the tongue we caught a few days ago confess anything?"
"Yes."
Beiming Huan said, "Beiming Huan, tell me."
"Yes!"
Beiming Huan nodded respectfully, "Dragon Rider Xu Chuan, soon, the empire will face a new war, and our opponent will be a continent on the other side of the ocean. That tongue seemed to have confessed everything. A month ago, the great battle in the Divine Realm officially ended. Lord Xi Yan Blazing Angel accidentally damaged the Wall of Order during the intense battle with the gods of the Eastern Celestial Heavens, causing the spiritual mountains of the two planes to collide and merge with each other. This caused the wall between our plane's plane and the Shattered Cauldron Realm's plane to officially disappear. Now that the two continents have completely merged, a new war is about to arrive.
Xu Chuan was dazed, "Shattered Cauldron Realm … what kind of continent is that?"
Beiming Huan smiled and said, "Don't worry, the Broken Cauldron World is still in the embryonic stage, and its power is far inferior to ours. The most powerful god in the Broken Cauldron World is only a God King who is in the thirtieth Heavenly Abode, and their weapons, weapons, and horses are all far inferior to ours. But the Broken Cauldron World is fertile, and the population is thriving. The spirit beasts in the forest are also quite famous, and their spirit cores can be used for our cultivation. So … as long as we take the Broken Cauldron World as our own, the Tian Ji Empire will definitely be able to develop in a hundred years, and then destroy the Heaven Jue Empire and the Dark Stone Empire, and unify the whole world!
"When do we leave?" Xu Chuan was a bit excited, "We have to act before the Celestial Empire and the Blackstone Empire find out. We can't let others get this fat meat first."
"Hey, don't be in such a hurry." Beiming Huan waved his hand and smiled, "Recently, I have been deploying troops at the border. We have to stabilize the border first before we can send some troops to conquer Shattered Cauldron Realm. In addition, I have also sent envoys to the two empires to ask for an alliance. Only with an alliance can we focus on attacking Shattered Cauldron Realm."
"Yes, I will listen to Marshal's orders."
"Mm, that's good, hahaha … Shattered Cauldron Realm will be ours sooner or later, no need to rush."
"Yes!"
…
The night was indescribably cold. The night of the Exile Land was full of slaughter, and one could even hear miserable cries from afar. No one knew which unlucky soul had died under a sharp blade.
"Rustle, rustle, rustle …"
The girl was kneeling in the grass with bare feet. There was a kind of black crawling bug in this patch of grass. Although this bug didn't bite, it was very disgusting when it moved. This demon spirit girl's arms and hair were almost covered with these bugs, but she didn't move at all, like a withered leaf hidden in the grass.
She had been waiting here for a whole day, but the Hunter from Hell still hadn't appeared.
She clearly remembered the battle two days ago. That Hunter in black armor had almost cut off his own arm with a single sword strike. Moreover, this Dark Hunter's movements were getting more and more frequent. All signs showed that he was eager to rule this area, and didn't want to let any of his opponents live.
Never be bullied by others.
These were her father's words. Although her father had died a long time ago, the young girl still remembered these words. These words were the law of her life in the Banished Lands. If anyone wanted to kill her, she must kill them first!
"Rustle …"
A strange sound came. It didn't sound like the sound of a pine insect crawling over the grass, but was completely different. It was the sound of boots stepping on the wet grass. It had rained half a day ago, and the ground was still wet.
The girl didn't move, but her pair of beautiful eyes quietly looked into the distance.
With the sound of footsteps, he had arrived.
The black soft armor was decorated with resplendent diamonds, blinding people's eyes. The black helmet looked so exquisite. A steel sword hung from his waist, and his palm was pressed on the sword hilt. He looked around with a sharp gaze, searching for his opponent. The cold night wind blew, making the long hair behind his helmet and trench coat flutter.
He had always been like this, pursuing the pinnacle of handsomeness, a man like the wind.
"Come out!"
He suddenly stopped, and his gaze was like a sword as he looked at the grass in front of him.
"…"
Silence. He seemed to be a little impatient. He raised his hand, and a ball of fire appeared. He shouted in a low voice, "Come out! Do you want me to personally invite you out? You're courting death! "
"Whoosh!"
The flame swallowed the entire field of wild grass, and suddenly there was a roar. It was a ferocious tiger from the Exile Land — the Horned Tiger. It was a fierce tiger with a sharp horn on its head, and it was at the top of the food chain in the Exile Land. There weren't many people who dared to provoke the Horned Tiger, and this man in front of him was one of them.
"Bastard, how dare you ambush me. You're courting death!"
He attacked. His fist was wrapped in flames, and he smashed it heavily on the Horned Tiger's abdomen from a strange angle. However, a tyrannical rebounding force attacked him. The Horned Tiger's skin was covered with Stellar Energy, and just as he was about to fall, the Horned Tiger flipped its sharp claws and swept them horizontally. A few bloody wounds immediately appeared on his shoulder.
"Damn it."
He took the opportunity to pull out his sword. The blade was wrapped in a ball of fire, a ball of golden light. This was a cultivator of the Law of Fire and Light.
The temperature and light of the spewing flames converged. He launched a fierce attack, and his whole body melted into the sword light. Blood splattered in the wind. When he pulled out his sword, the Horned Tiger could no longer resist. The messy sword wounds and holes on its body proved that the Horned Tiger was defeated.
"Roar …"
Amidst the miserable howl, the steel sword pierced straight into the Horned Tiger's mouth, and came out through its brain, carrying with it a strong smell of blood.
"Hmph."
He raised his palm and licked clean the tiger blood that had splattered on his palm. "Filthy trash."
But at this moment, a shadow passed by him, as silent as the wind.
"Rip …"
The sound was very light. It was a sharp knife, shining with a frightening cold light.
After the knife light, a thin wound spread out from his neck. With a "pu" sound, it completely bloomed, like a beautiful flower. Blood spurted out from his neck. He stood there dumbfounded, the sword in his hand still stabbed into the Horned Tiger's head. He raised his head, looking at the stars in the sky. His hair and cloak fluttered in the wind.
A man like the wind.
"Bang!"
After heavily falling to the ground, he died in humiliation. The sword in his hand was pulled out from the Horned Tiger's mouth. It was covered in blood, but under the moonlight, it shone with a demonic luster, as if it was responding to the light in the sky.
The demon spirit girl slowly walked over with the bloody knife. Looking at her opponent's corpse, her face was emotionless. She didn't even feel the joy of victory. She only felt that everything was as it should be.
Bending down, she picked up her opponent's sword. The moment the blade touched her hand, she suddenly froze. A vigorous and overbearing power seemed to be resonating with the sword in her body.
"Shua!"
The power in her arm flowed into the sword. In the next moment, golden crystals separated from the power and rapidly spun. What is this?
She was dumbfounded. She never thought that she would have a connection with a weapon. Moreover, these flying golden crystals were a type of pure energy crystal. But what was it?
"Who am I …"
She muttered to herself, but the chilling night wind of the Banished Lands answered her rampantly.
"Wu … Wu … Wu …"
She couldn't understand.
(This paragraph was so poetic that even I was moved.) …
"Knock, knock, knock …"
Violent knocks came from outside the inn's door. "Open the door, open the door! If you don't open the door, we will break it down! "
Lin Muyu woke up from his sleep. The divine power that he had used to transmit the message through his telekinesis last night was fully replenished. He floated up and opened the door to his room, only to see seven to eight armored soldiers staring at him. One of the soldiers was holding Liu Buyi in his hands. The poor Liu Buyi was already tied up.
"What is it?" Lin Muyu was so calm that it was exaggerated.
"What?"
An officer wearing a ten-man military rank smiled and said, "Are you a noble?"
"No."
"Do you have any friends who are nobles?"
"No."
"Then do you have money?"
"I am poor."
"Then congratulations, you have been conscripted by the imperial army in the West Mountain Province as a first-class private. Don't say anything. You will naturally understand your status when you reach the military camp!"
Lin Muyu narrowed her eyes.
Damn, they are grabbing a strong man!
