The Ten Great Commanders had a very high status in Azure Sky. They were equivalent to the Xiu Clan's high consecrators.
Only by becoming one of the Ten Great Commanders would one be qualified to compete for the position of Marquis of the Five Directions.
Although the Xiu Clan was the dominant power in Azure Sky and ranked among the top ten in the chaos void, the Xiu Clan was still in control.
However, the Marquis of the Five Directions and their subordinates were the ones who controlled the cities and waged war against the outside world.
In principle, anyone from Azure Sky could compete for the position of Marquis of the Five Directions and Ten Great Commanders.
This also happened to confirm the Xiu Clan's policy of governing Azure Sky.
Delegating power, providing benefits, and firmly binding them to the Xiu Clan. In this way, the Xiu Clan would not only continue to be the dominant power, but would also be able to endure for a long time.
In less than three days, Venerable Black Red returned to Returning Heavens City.
His expression was somewhat gloomy. Fang Chen found out that the betrayal of Returning Heavens City's Lord was indeed supported by a major power.
As for which power it was, it was still unknown.
However, the death of Returning Heavens City's Lord had completely disrupted their plans.
For the time being, those hidden powers would not dare to cause trouble in Returning Heavens City.
"Could it be a power from another heaven?" Fang Chen asked.
Venerable Black Red shook his head in contemplation.
"The Xiu Clan has been ruling Azure Sky all these years and has offended many powers. Many powers second only to the Xiu Clan were forced to submit to the Xiu Clan. As long as there is an opportunity, they will definitely not miss it."
Venerable Black Red's meaning was clear. He suspected that the other first-rate powers of Azure Sky were behind this.
However, there was no clear evidence for this, so it was difficult to do anything about it.
After all, the Xiu Clan's every move could cause dissatisfaction in Azure Sky and lead to war.
Although the Xiu Clan was strong, they could not withstand the collective resistance of all the powers in Azure Sky.
"I will report this matter to the clan. You don't have to worry." Venerable Black Red said.
"There are still three months before the Battle of the Ten Great Commanders begins. When the time comes, many old monsters will come out to compete. Cultivate well."
Venerable Black Red left Returning Heavens City. The Big Black Dog also left.
Returning Heavens City regained its peace. However, as time passed, the Battle of the Ten Great Commanders drew closer.
The air was filled with an oppressive aura atmosphere.
It gave off the feeling that a storm.
However, during this period, Fang Chen had been cultivating.
It was already very difficult for him to take another step forward.
There was a gap between the Mystic Star Realm and the Mystic Light Realm that some people couldn't cross in their entire lives.
However, Fang Chen wasn't afraid of Mystic Light Realm martial practitioners at all.
However, just as Venerable Hei Chi had said, there were many people who wanted to compete for the position of Ten Great Commanders. There were even some old monsters who had cultivated for hundreds of millions of years.
Those old monsters might have limited potential and might not be able to reach the level of Ancient God in their lifetime.
However, after countless years, the battle experience they had accumulated was enough to crush all the younger generation.
Fang Chen didn't dare be careless. He had been studying the Asura Sword Dao.
Hiss hiss hiss!
In the City Lord's Mansion, Fang Chen sat cross-legged on the ground.
With a thought, the Bloodline Copper Mirror appeared in Lin Yun's body. When Lin Yun took a closer look, he saw traces of blood on the Bloodline Copper Mirror.
This was Fang Chen's essence blood, and also the purest bloodline power.
Ever since he had absorbed the blood of the Wolf God, his blood contained the Wolf God's bloodline.
The Wolf God's bloodline was also a branch of the Darkness Bloodline.
With the help of the Bloodline Copper Mirror, the Darkness Bloodline hidden in his body had been completely activated.
Fang Chen could even feel the power vibrating in his blood. It was extremely powerful.
"Is this the Darkness Bloodline?"
Fang Chen opened his palm, and a trace of black blood circled around it. A trace of a smile appeared in his eyes.
Weng ~ ~
The Bloodline Copper Mirror let out a loud sound and continued to enter Fang Chen's blood, changing his bloodline power.
The Darkness Bloodline was one of the most ancient bloodlines in the Primal Chaos Void.
The Son of Darkness was so strong because he had the Darkness Bloodline. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to defeat the Sky Battler.
Hu ~ ~
Lin Yun took a deep breath and threw this to the back of his mind. The most important thing right now was to increase his cultivation.
…
In the distant Darkness Void:
Crack!
A spatial storm appeared in an instant and directly annihilated the calm Darkness Void.
Then, lightning flashed, thunder rumbled, and wolves howled incessantly.
In the terrifying storm, a werewolf strolled out. His body was covered with lightning.
He clenched his claws, and suddenly, the sky was filled with thunder and lightning.
He had a pair of golden eyes and was wearing a blood-red robe. He exuded a murderous aura.
He was the Fifth Wolf God of the Werewolf Clan.
"I feel the aura of the Wolf God's blood."
The Fifth Wolf God said eerily. His golden eyes emitted a terrifying light.
"In that direction."
The Fifth Wolf God's claws pointed in the distance and muttered to himself.
Then, his body flashed and disappeared into the Darkness Void again.
The Fifth Wolf God had a supreme status in the Werewolf Clan.
Moreover, the Werewolf Clan was a branch of the Dark Blood Clan. The Five Wolf Gods were the famous Wolf Guards of the Dark Blood Clan.
While the Fifth Wolf God was on the move, the Demon Clan was also secretly inquiring about Fang Chen.
Especially when the news of the Demon-sealing Tower spread, it caused an uproar among the Demon Clan.
The higher-ups of the Demon Clan had ordered to kill Fang Chen at all costs and take back the Demon-sealing Tower.
…
Time flew. Three months later, the Battle of the Ten Great Commanders took place as scheduled.
Fang Chen, the new City Lord of Huitian City, was led by the big black dog to the Xiu Clan's territory in the center of Qingluo Heaven.
"How is it?" Venerable Hei Chi asked.
Fang Chen nodded. "As long as there are no abnormal people, there shouldn't be a problem except for taking over the position of Commander."
In the past three months, another important thing had happened.
The Eight-Feathered Sky Sparrow had successfully evolved into a Nine-Feathered Sky Sparrow.
At that time, there was a strange phenomenon in the sky. The entire sky above Huitian City was covered by a red glow.
Some people thought that a supreme treasure had appeared.
But in the end, the City Lord's Mansion came out to refute the rumor. Only then did the restless people calm down.
The Nine-Feathered Sky Sparrow was the most powerful existence in their clan. It also had the purest bloodline.
Just as the Nine-Feathered Sky Sparrow had said, a trace of ancestral power had awakened in its body after it successfully evolved.
It was the only Nine-Feathered Sky Sparrow in the Primal Chaos Void in the past trillion years.
Luckily, it had the help of the Demon Tiger And Beast. Otherwise, it would have been difficult for it to evolve.
The Nine-Feathered Sky Sparrow's combat power was also a little exaggerated. It could even challenge the Demon Tiger And Beast in its ethereal form.
This made Fang Chen feel more at ease. The Nine-Feathered Sky Sparrow, the ethereal Demon Tiger And Beast, the Demon Sealing Tower, and the Hidden Star Sword were enough for him to fight against any Mystic Light Realm cultivator.
"The Battle of the Ten Great Commanders this time is grander than I imagined. Here is a list. If you encounter these people in the competition, kill them without mercy."
Venerable Hei Chi took out a small booklet and handed it to Fang Chen.
There were a lot of names written on it, and some introductions were attached at the back.
After reading it, Fang Chen was a little surprised.
Most of the people on the list were the City Lords of the one hundred and eighty cities.
This meant that a large portion of the City Lords had betrayed the Xiu Family.
Thinking back to the betrayal of the Huitian City Lord three months ago, it was terrifying.
Fang Chen's heart shook. Who was it that was targeting the Xiu Family? Wasn't this too terrifying?
So many City Lords had betrayed them under the Xiu Family's nose.
It could be imagined that the mastermind behind this was extremely powerful. Otherwise, they wouldn't dare to do this.
"Is there a problem?" Venerable Hei Chi asked.
Fang Chen shook his head. "No problem. But won't it cause a misunderstanding if I kill people in the competition?"
Venerable Hei Chi had thought about this long ago.
"Don't worry. I've already talked to the patriarch. You don't have to worry."
Venerable Hei Chi said, "Right, if you can complete this mission, one of the peak Venerables in the family will come with me to the Sky Pillar Zong Family."
Hearing this, Fang Chen was excited.
Wasn't the reason he fought for the position of the Ten Great Commanders so that he could gain the support of the peak Venerables from the Xiu Family?
Wasn't this an opportunity?
"Many thanks, Senior Hei Chi."
What Fang Chen didn't know was that Venerable Hei Chi had put in a lot of effort to get him the chance to complete this mission.
