In the blink of an eye, ten years had passed.
The situation in the Red Dust World did not seem to be much different from before.
The Righteous and Demonic Paths were still separated.
But comparatively speaking, the situation was much simpler than before.
On the side of the Righteous Dao, the number one holy land of Taoism, the Green Ox Monastery of Green Ox Mountain, was a cornerstone of the Righteous Dao. It was overseen by the number one expert of the Righteous Dao, the Green Ox Monastery Master, Yu Qingniu.
The Extreme North Heavenly Lake, Xian Tian Palace, the Heavenly River, the Li Clan of the former Qin, the Cheng Clan of the former Chu, the Xu Clan of the former Zhou, and the Wei Clan of the former Wei under the coordination of the Green Bull Monastery formed the righteous faction in the Human World.
On the Diabolism side, the Hierarch of the Ancient God, Jiang Yi, and the Lord of Azure Dragon Island, Bao Lvqi, joined forces with Blood River, Swallow Mountain, Black Water Extreme Palace, Misery Sea, and other forces to form the Diabolism camp.
It was difficult for the top experts of the Demonic Dao to match the Righteous Dao's Azure Bull Monastery Master.
However, the Righteous Path did not completely gain the upper hand.
Among the Martial Sovereigns of the Mortal World, there were other experts who could rival the Green Bull Monastery Head.
"Mad Emperor" Bie Donglai didn't need to be mentioned. In theory, he was the number one demonic cultivator in the mortal world.
It was just that this person was eccentric and his mood was hard to predict. Even the people of the Demonic Path didn't want to deal with him, so it was difficult to regard him as a cornerstone.
Compared to Bie Donglai, the other Dark North Sword Master, Zhu Ping, was perhaps a bit more reliable.
In the past, Zhu Que, who had been regarded as one of the leaders of the righteous path, now had a vague position.
He himself stood aloof from worldly affairs and had no intention of getting involved in the battle between the Righteous and Demonic Paths.
However, his wife, "Jade Dragon" Han Zheng, was the direct descendant of the Azure Dragon Island.
Although Zhu You rarely interacted with Azure Dragon Island, the people of the Righteous Dao inevitably had misgivings.
The complicated relationship made both sides care about it.
For example, the righteous sacred ground, Xian Tian Palace.
To this day, there was still no Martial Venerable Realm giant guarding the place.
But no one in the mortal world dared to look down on them.
Not mentioning the Heavenly Phoenix, it was rumored that Ji Zhong had already ascended to the Martial Venerable Realm during the Star Brilliance Battle ten years ago.
After the great battle, he and the Heavenly Phoenix had disappeared, and there had been no news of them for ten years.
But no one could guarantee that he wouldn't suddenly come back.
Even without the Heavenly Phoenix, she was still a true Martial Venerable.
On the other hand, the Blood River Bloodline was also a prickly hedgehog.
Ten years ago, the Blood River Lineage's tenth generation Blood River Ancestor, Xue Anyan, mysteriously disappeared. The Blood River Lineage finally had a new leader, but they were once again leaderless.
Their old enemy, the Milky Way, who had been suppressed by them to the point of suffocation, was thus saved from danger.
On the other hand, they were in big trouble.
First, Old Monster Blood River made a comeback and tried to reclaim the throne of Lord Blood River.
Then, the God of Slaughter, Shen Tianzhao, descended once again.
Since Xue Dark Sky was not around, Shen Tianzhao did not even wait for Martial Saints to advance to the Martial Saint realm. He immediately went to kill the Blood River's inheritor.
Although he was cultivating the Blood River Sword Technique, Shen Tianzhao did not have the intention to rule over the Blood River.
All he wanted was for the Blood River Lineage to disappear completely.
Blood Sun Midair and Old Monster Blood River, two experts of the Blood River Sword Dao, engaged in a battle of the pinnacle.
In the end, Shen Tianzhao won and killed Blood River Demon.
Although Shen Tianzhao had to retreat with serious injuries, no one in the Blood River Bloodline could contend against him from then on.
After he recovered from his injuries, he immediately made a comeback.
But this time, he ran into a tough nut to crack.
He was strong, but his background was even stronger.
Su Ye, who was wandering in the mortal world, meddled in the affairs of the Blood River Bloodline.
Two young geniuses, one sword and one spear, engaged in a great battle.
The final result was Shen Tianzhao's defeat.
"Ghost Dragon" Su Ye's reputation was further increased.
Shen Tianzhao could only leave hatefully.
The aftermath of this battle was not any less than the battle itself.
Su Ye meddled in the affairs of the Blood River Bloodline and protected the Blood River Bloodline from Shen Tianzhao's sword.
His identity was special, which made it hard for others in the mortal world not to associate it.
Everyone couldn't help but suspect, could it be that Zhi Zun had ordered for his junior to protect the Blood River Bloodline?
To the Blood River Bloodline, this rumor was even more powerful than having another Martial Venerable.
After that, everyone tried to find all kinds of channels, beating around the bush, and even personally met the Demon King to find out what was going on.
The answer they got was that Su Ye's actions had nothing to do with the Demon King.
This made everyone heave a sigh of relief, but in the end, they were still a bit cautious, not to push the Blood River Bloodline too far.
The Sky River Bloodline, which had the deepest hatred with the Blood River Bloodline, suffered even more damage. Shen Tianzhao, on the other hand, went into seclusion after his defeat. He calmed down and vowed to destroy the Blood River Bloodline after breaking through to Martial Venerable.
In this way, because of Su Ye's unintentional action, the Blood River Bloodline finally preserved some of its strength and was able to continue to stand in the mortal world.
However, Chen Luoyang's ban on killing made it difficult for them to continue to develop and recover.
Their original path of retreat, the Blood Sea, was now occupied by Shen Tianzhao. No one wanted to go to him and find trouble.
Therefore, the Blood River Bloodline could only struggle in the mortal world. After ten years, they finally recovered a little bit of their strength.
Right now, the situation between the righteous and demonic sides in the mortal world was about to be broken.
Until the tenth year of the Demon King's rule in the mortal world, the situation seemed to have changed again.
Because there was news that the successor of Zhi Zun was going to walk in the mortal world.
Everyone couldn't help but be in a trance, thinking of the scene when the Demon King first appeared in the mortal world.
Now, his successor was also going to walk in the mortal world. Would it be another new legend?
For the high-level powerhouses in the mortal world, this was not good news.
No one dared to forget the legend of the Demon King's rise in the past. With the current situation, was there going to be another retired emperor above everyone's head?
No matter what their thoughts were, after the news spread, the mortal world suddenly gathered again, and everyone acted together.
With the precedent of the Demon King, no one dared to be negligent anymore, and they all paid 120% of their attention.
After all, the Demon King didn't say to let that kid fight on his own like the Demon Venerable did.
Of course, ten years had passed, and all kinds of rumors from outside the mortal world kept coming.
Now, everyone had a tacit understanding that when the Demon King moved in the mortal world in the name of the Demon Venerable's successor ten years ago, the Demon Venerable had probably already died.
But now, the Demon King was in the mortal world, perfectly fine.
News and intelligence kept coming back.
The successor of Zhi Zun left Luoyang City in the sky.
The successor of Zhi Zun walked in the mortal world, all the way to the east.
The successor of Zhi Zun left the land and entered the East Sea.
Everyone pondered about it and felt that something was wrong.
The successor of Zhi Zun walked eastward on the sea. Was he going to Azure Dragon Island or the former Fusang Island?
Well, after Fusang Island was occupied by Blood River, it had been renamed Blood River Island.
Where was the successor of Zhi Zun going?
On Azure Dragon Island, a green-clothed woman stood side by side with a black-clothed old woman.
"Master, I'll go take a look," Han Zheng said to Azure Dragon Island Master.
Azure Dragon Island Master nodded, "Be careful."
Han Zheng responded. She then stepped on a blue cloud and headed towards the north.
She soon discovered that the successor of Zhi Zun wasn't going to Azure Dragon Island.
His target was Blood River Island.
The higher-ups of other forces also quickly received the news, and everyone was shocked again.
The successor of Zhi Zun entered the mortal world, and the first stop was the bloodline of Blood River. Was he looking for trouble, or did he have a friendship with Blood River?
Thinking of the past when Su Ye helped Blood River, everyone couldn't help but think.
In particular, many people knew that the successor of Zhi Zun was named Su Yuan, and he was Su Ye's nephew …
After the bloodline of Blood River learned of the news, they were surprised and not so optimistic.
Others didn't know, but they knew.
After Su Ye defeated Shen Tianzhao, they also wanted to build a good relationship with Su Ye.
But it was difficult to communicate with him.
He was like a smaller version of Heavenly Demon Ye, or a smaller version of Bie Donglai.
In the end, they almost annoyed Su Ye, and she taught them a lesson.
In the end, the bloodline of Blood River could only give up the idea of befriending Zhi Zun.
Now that the successor of Zhi Zun had specially come to visit, the people of Blood River felt nervous.
However, now that things had come to this, they could only solemnly welcome the successor of Zhi Zun.
On the sea, a handsome young man in black walked on the sea leisurely, as if he was taking a casual stroll.
When he appeared outside Blood River Island, the hearts of everyone in Blood River tightened.
This young man's eyes flashed with a dark gold light, and he was dressed in a black robe, causing everyone to recall the figure from ten years ago.
Compared to the figure of the past, the youth was less valiant, but more delicate and pretty.
However, he was only sixteen or seventeen years old, and looked like he had already broken through to Martial Saint Realm.
Such a young Martial Saint, in the history of the Red Dust World, only Emperor Zhou Xu Ruotong had done so.
The blood of the Ancient God's Fiendgod had always been known to be quick, but this young man had become a Martial Saint at such a young age. Other than the blood of the Fiendgod and his own talent, it definitely couldn't be separated from the teachings of Zhi Zun.
Around Blood River Island, many people had already arrived. Everyone wanted to know why the successor of Zhi Zun had come to Blood River Island this time.
Everyone in Blood River was also uneasy.
The black-clothed young man came closer, and he was very polite, without any arrogance, "Everyone, sorry to disturb you."
The current leader of Blood River, Elder Xue Cangsheng was the first to speak, "I, Xue Cangsheng, greet the successor of Zhi Zun."
The other heirs of Blood River also bowed silently.
"I wonder how our sect can help you today?" Xue Cangsheng asked.
Su Yuan, who had already grown into a young man, said, "Someone in your sect has broken my master's ban on killing. I, Su, have received great kindness from my master. Now that I have entered the world, the first thing I do is naturally to uphold my master's order and punish the person who broke it."
When everyone in Blood River heard this, they were all shocked.
Everyone looked left and right.
Xue Cangsheng sucked in a cold breath, forcing himself to calm down. He hurriedly asked, "Could there be a misunderstanding? Or someone is falsely accusing me? "
Su Yuan calmly shook his head, his gaze sweeping around and landing on one person, "Xueling Peak, right?"
That person's expression instantly changed.
Without waiting for him to speak, Su Yuan continued, "Three days ago, you slaughtered more than seven hundred people on a small island. To cover it up, you sank the entire island into the ocean. However, you were just trying to be smart."
The other party's expression calmed down, "I did it unintentionally, I definitely didn't do it on purpose. I won't dare to do it again. Please forgive me, Mr. Su."
Su Yuan shook his head, "You purposely killed people to cultivate the Blood Ocean Heaven Sorrow Art.
No one is allowed to break my master's ban on killing. "
