Chu Palace is magnificent.

"There is news from Qunxing Tower. They believe that the hidden sword cannot be Wu Yuan." A silver-robed man sitting on the throne in the center of the hall spoke slowly.

He has long hair, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and is about 1.9 meters tall. The way he moves his hands and feet gives off an air of nobility.

It is Chu Ping, the King of Baijiang, who is also the world-famous Dibang Grandmaster.

Ranked thirty-sixth in the "World Ranking", looking at Wanli Jiangzhou, he is recognized as the only master master who can compare with Grandmaster Yu.

"Your Majesty, for such a big matter, we cannot rely on the news from Qunxing Tower. We should make our own judgment." An elegant old man in the palace said softly: "Qunxing Tower also has its own position. What is important is your judgment, Your Majesty."

"I hope not." Chu Ping said in a low voice.

The elegant old man nodded slightly.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Wu."

Another burly man was full of energy and his voice was as loud as a bell: "No matter if it is true or not, it is beneficial to us that the Hengyun Sect has one more great master. Their hope of resisting the Jin Empire will be greater."

"yes!"

"A seventeen-year-old Grand Master will almost certainly enter the Heavenly Ranking in the future. It will be almost impossible for the Jin Dynasty to advance eastwards." The burly man said in a low voice.

"But if there is a seventeen-year-old grandmaster, then I'm afraid we will have to surrender." Chu Ping sighed softly.

"My lord, you are in trouble."

The burly man shook his head and said: "Even if the Dark Saber steps into the Heavenly Ranking in the future and demands our surrender, it won't cost us our lives."

"But if the Jin Dynasty comes and kills us, will we still have a way to survive?"

Chu Ping was stunned.

yes!

Both Hengyun Sect and Chu Ping were members of the Chujiang Empire in the past.

He proclaimed himself king and dominated one side, and the Hengyun Sect never publicly stopped him.

There is competition between the two sides, both claiming to be the heirs of the 'Chujiang Empire'.

In the future, no matter which side wins, they will not be killed.

What if Da Jin came to kill him?

A dead end!

"Your Majesty, if we just continue the 'Chujiang' ancestral hall, it will be enough for now." The elegant old man said softly: "But if we want to restore the glory of the empire, the important thing is not outsiders, but ourselves."

"Only when you are strong enough can you be truly powerful!"

The elegant old man said: "It's like the Jin Emperor. He was alone for more than two hundred years, and he had the vast territory that the Jin Dynasty has today."

"I see."

Chu Ping nodded slightly, with desire in his eyes: "Heavenly Ranking! Only the masters of the Heavenly Ranking can rebuild the Chujiang Empire."

"This time Chujiang Wonderland."

"It's our biggest opportunity."

…

The battle between Dark Saber and Wang Huang was extremely noisy.

The top leaders of all the forces in the world mostly focused on the "potential of the Dark Saber" and "the relationship between the Dark Saber and Wu Yuan", and secretly carried out a lot of work and even fought fiercely.

but.

For most of the warriors and people in Jiangzhou, as well as countless warriors in the world who know about this matter, what they are most passionate about is still all kinds of strange things about the hidden knife.

And - strength!

"happy!"

"Ten years ago, Grandmaster Xia Heng died in the Battle of Hengshan. It was simply a shame!"

"The grand masters of the Jin Dynasty are all capable of death, and the sects are all brave enough to kill."

"Kill all these bastards!" Countless warriors and people in the Hengyun Sect's territory were discussing excitedly.

They were originally subjects under the Chujiang Empire.

Chujiang and Jin fought fiercely for decades. Countless warriors went to the battlefield and died at the hands of the Jin Empire. Both sides accumulated a lot of hatred.

If we say that the Chujiang Empire was ‘officially corrupt’.

So, in the thirty years since Hengyun Sect took over, the governance has been excellent, and there has been no war for thirty years, which makes the people of several prefectures quite satisfied.

There are constant wars, who is willing to fight?

Naturally, most of the Hengyun Sect resented and even hated the Jin Empire that wanted to conquer them.

"Looking at Wanli Jiangzhou, except for Grandmaster Yu and King Baijiang, the other grandmasters have not yet had the record of killing the grandmaster!"

"How rare is it for a grandmaster to fall?"

"I think the strength of the Dark Knife Grandmaster is enough to rank among the top fifty on the Earth Ranking."

"It may be stronger!" Countless warriors in the Sixteenth House of Jiangzhou discussed, especially the members of the Hengyun Sect, who were even more excited.

Most of them have already determined that An Dao is a member of the sect!

…

The outside world seems to be in chaos.

But the senior officials of the Hengyun Sect were actually keeping a close eye on the Jin Empire, and the defenses on Yunshan Mountain became even tighter.

They all know that other forces are mostly 'curious' and rarely make any big moves.

Even if it is the archenemy 'Guiyu Sect', at this critical juncture, other sects in Dongzhou will not allow them to stab in the back.

The only one who needs to be on guard is Da Jin.

Nearly half a month has passed, and the Jin Empire has taken no other action except publicly 'refuting' the two letters of credence from Hengyun Sect, and at the same time replying with a 'national curse'.

The entire Hengyun Sect basically confirmed that the Jin Empire should choose not to engage in war.

Of course, the Yunshan guards still did not relax.

And this time.

A piece of news gradually spread among the middle and high-level officials of the Hengyun Sect. The high-level officials of the sect have reached a consensus - to designate Wu Yuan as the 'True Successor of Yunwu'.

A ‘ceremony’ will be held soon

…

Yunwu Hall, Wu Yuan’s single-family courtyard.

These days.

Wu Yuan has been practicing hard, not slowing down, his strength has steadily improved, and his injuries have also mostly healed.

The total amount of "bloody mist" brought by killing the Grandmaster is far greater than before.

In a short period of time, he didn't have to worry about lack of blood-colored mist.

today.

"Palace Master, Elder Huan, why are you here?" Wu Yuan looked at the two people who suddenly came to visit, feeling a little surprised.

Those who come, except Elder Huan who is often seen.

There is also Yan Hong, the master of the Caigong Hall, a gray-haired old man.

I only met Wu Yuan twice and never had much communication with him.

As far as Wu Yuan knew, Yan Hong was the eldest among the five palace masters. He was the same generation as the two princes, and he was also the most fair and strict.

certainly.

What Wu Yuan remembers most about Yan Hong is the ten Concentration Pills he gave him.

It was these ten concentration pills that helped Wu Yuan open the Upper Dantian Palace.

From then on, Wu Yuan's strength really improved by leaps and bounds.

"Sit down, don't be restrained." Yan Hong, who had white hair on his head, looked at Wu Yuan with a smile, but in fact, he was quite emotional in his heart.

Wu Yuan nodded.

He was grateful to Palace Master Yan.

"Wu Yuan, these days, everyone in the sect has been preparing for possible raids from the Jin Empire, so we haven't had time to look for you." Elder Huan said with a smile.

"I understand." Wu Yuan nodded.

Although he practiced in seclusion and did not attend martial arts courses, Fang Jiushan and Wu Longhe would come occasionally.

Therefore, he is generally aware of some of the sect's movements.

Many disciples of Yunwu Hall have received the news and must be prepared to fight or even break out of the siege and go down the mountain.
