Chapter 255 - 173: Devil Princess and Senior Sister Have Children, Married Twice, Took Concubines Five Times_1
Yinyang Sect, the entrance to the sect.
Dugu Bing had healed his wounds and was bitterly cultivating, with the aim to return to the fourth layer of the True Martial Realm.
When he received the news, he was immediately dumbfounded and felt his head clang loudly.
What the hell?
When had he ever ordered someone to cause trouble in the Daqian Empire?
Dugu Bing felt incredibly wronged, as if, despite sitting at home, trouble had come from the sky.
While he silently cultivated, a huge black pot had been pinned on him, which made Dugu Bing very unhappy, as he hated being made a scapegoat for others.
Thus, Dugu Bing left his seclusion to investigate but found no useful information.
The person who died was indeed a Cultivator of the demon path from the Yinyang Sect, with a not insignificant status; however, his relationship with Dugu Bing was just average. The real power within Yinyang Sect lay in the hands of the Sect Hierarch.
As for who the True Martial Realm Emperor Wu was that made the move, Dugu Bing couldn’t find out from Tianji Pavilion. He only knew that the person was skilled in the Dao of the Saber and wore a bronze mask, which left him speechless.
What exactly was the Daqian Empire? Wasn’t it just a small and insignificant empire?
Why were there so many unknown True Martial Realm Emperor Wus continuously emerging, each more troublesome than the last?
First, it was the reincarnated Dragon Girl of the Sacred Dragon, then Li Feiyu, and now a bronze-masked saber wielder. Would there be another mysterious True Martial Realm Emperor Wu next time?
Dugu Bing frowned, feeling that Li Feiyu was truly a bastard. Was it because he didn’t give him face last time that he had to bear such a grudge?
Last time, Li Feiyu had severely injured him and his cultivation fell. Now Li Feiyu couldn’t find the real culprit and directly framed him instead, which really annoyed Dugu Bing.
However annoyed he was, he could only hold it in; Dugu Bing didn’t dare to go and cause trouble in the Daqian Empire. If he presented himself on Li Feiyu’s doorstep now, he would likely end up being killed by him.
“If I find out who did this, I’ll flay and bone you,” Dugu Bing declared menacingly before retreating into seclusion. The Sacred Dragon Secret Realm would emerge in half a year, and he had to strive to recover to the fourth layer of the True Martial Realm.
If various forces were to move against the Daqian Empire by then, he could take the opportunity to seek revenge on Li Feiyu and kill him. Dugu Bing had always held grudges in his heart.
Daqian Empire, Capital City.
After receiving the report, Emperor Qian hurriedly entered the core forbidden area to report to the venerable ancestor of the empire, Zhènxióng.
Once Emperor Qian had left, Chu Dingqian’s expression relaxed considerably. He had granted Li Feiyu so many benefits; although Li Feiyu was arrogant and lecherous, he was reliable when needed.
Chu Dingqian silently gauged Li Feiyu’s speed. It would indeed take some time to travel from the Capital City of Daqian to the Canghai Sect, and it made sense that the bronze-masked saber wielder had left immediately after the attack, making it plausible for Li Feiyu to miss him.
Chu Dingqian was pleased with Li Feiyu’s attitude. He was afraid that Li Feiyu would take the benefits without doing the work, and just idling would have complicated matters.
“However, who could this bronze-masked saber wielder be?” Chu Dingqian pondered in secret.
There were only two True Martial Realm Emperor Wus who used sabers in the Xuan Domain, and judging by the martial skills used by the bronze-masked saber wielder, it was unrelated to either of them. Besides, those two had no connection with the Canghai Sect and were unlikely to act on its behalf without good reason.
Suddenly, Chu Dingqian’s pupils constricted as he considered a possibility: Could the bronze-masked saber wielder be Li Feiyu?
If it were Li Feiyu, then all his actions would be an attempt to cover up his tracks. The first time Li Feiyu appeared was at Tianxuan Mountain, facing a crisis and claiming to repay a debt of gratitude.
Now, a crisis was threatening to destroy the Canghai Sect, and yet again a mysterious True Martial Realm Emperor Wu showed up to solve the problem, with another unknown origin.
“How is that possible?”
Chu Dingqian sighed, feeling he was being overly suspicious. The bronze-masked saber wielder couldn’t be Li Feiyu.
Li Feiyu was skilled with the sword, while the bronze-masked wielder excelled with the saber, and their martial intentions were different; it was unlikely they were the same person.
Furthermore, there were no connections between the Canghai Sect and Tianxuan Mountain, nor between Li Feiyu and either, and Chu Dingqian was well aware of the details of the Canghai Sect—there were no True Martial Realm Emperor Wus behind it. Why would Li Feiyu bother to save the Canghai Sect?
At least Tianxuan Mountain was a branch of the Tai Xuan Sect in the Dao Domain, so it was feasible that Li Feiyu could have been requested by a True Martial Realm Emperor Wu of Tai Xuan Sect to come to the rescue.
“It seems they must come from the Sword Domain, a True Martial Realm indeed, but their intentions are unknown,” Chu Dingqian murmured to himself.
The Four Sacred Lands of the Human Clan include White Jade Capital from the Dao Domain, Xumi Mountain from the Buddha Domain, Heavenly Demon Hall from the Devil Region, and the House of Divine Armies from the Sword Domain.
The sword is considered the king of all weapons and is the most commonly used in the Sword Domain, which boasts the highest number of strong practitioners. Consequently, the domain housing the House of Divine Armies is known as the Sword Domain.
The second most prevalent and powerful group in the Sword Domain are the saber wielders. In addition to swords and sabers, the domain contains cultivators who specialize in spears, halberds, axes, maces, hooks, forks, whips, clubs, hammers, and more, although their numbers are significantly fewer than those who wield swords and sabers.
As one of the Four Great Sacred Lands of the Human Clan, the House of Divine Armies is not only powerful and profound, but it is also skilled in crafting magical treasures, having forged numerous Spiritual Artifacts, Magical Treasures, Divine Weapons, and Emperor Weapons. It is rumored that the House has even created several Immortal Artifacts.
At least one-third of the weapons in Qianyuan Divine Province are produced by the House of Divine Armies, and countless cultivators hold it in high regard, for it provides the opportunity to acquire powerful Heaven Rank Artifacts, Divine Weapons, and even Emperor Weapons at a relatively low cost.
The House of Divine Armies has a place called Thousand Soldiers Alley. For a fee of one hundred Top Quality Spirit Stones, one can stay there for half a day, where countless weapons are available, ranging from Heaven Rank Lower Grade Magical Treasures to Emperor Weapons.
As long as one receives the acknowledgment of a weapon, it can be drawn and taken away. Even if unsuccessful, one parting gift of an Earth-Level Lower Rank Magical Treasure awaits upon leaving.
The admission fee of one hundred Top Quality Spirit Stones is quite steep, equating to one million Lower Grade Spirit Stones. However, it is significantly less than the value of the Divine Weapons in Thousand Soldiers Alley.
