After receiving the news, the City Lord immediately reported it to the Military Palace.
In the Commander-in-Chief's Residence.
"Commander-in-Chief, a powerful Sword Cultivator has recently appeared in our Carefree Manor. He came from the border and defeated all his enemies along the way. No one who was challenged by him won."
The bodyguard said softly.
However, Fang Chen did not care.
What did this have to do with him?
His only mission now was to win the Nine Palaces Tournament and then head to the Mystic Realm.
"Commander-in-Chief, according to the news from the City Lords of the border cities, this Sword Cultivator in black seems to be related to you?"
After hearing this, Fang Chen finally stopped what he was doing. He looked up at the bodyguard behind him and asked, "Related to me?"
"This person claimed that someone in the Carefree Manor rejected his master's invitation to be his disciple. Therefore, he wants to defeat all his enemies along the way to find this person and defeat him."
He just wanted to prove that his master's choice was right.
He was the true successor of the direct line of descent. The person who had rejected his master was not qualified at all.
Fang Chen frowned.
"Demonic Mountain Supreme?"
This was because the only expert related to him was Demonic Mountain Supreme.
Moreover, he had rejected Demonic Mountain Supreme's invitation to be his disciple in front of everyone.
The bodyguard nodded. "The Sword Cultivator in black is most likely Demonic Mountain Supreme's disciple. His purpose of entering the Carefree Manor and heading west is to command you."
"Haha."
Fang Chen grinned.
"It's okay. Don't worry about it."
"Commander-in-Chief."
The bodyguard seemed to be worried about Fang Chen. However, the latter did not care at all. He did not say anything else.
After he left.
Fang Chen opened his palm and a scroll suddenly appeared in his palm.
Whoosh!
The dossier was slowly opened, and there were golden words written on it.
Then, Fang Chen began to read it seriously.
Soon, he shook his head and sighed.
"As expected of the Origin World."
This scroll recorded a secret technique from the Origin World. In terms of grade, it was not too high.
However, it was far more exquisite than the secret techniques he had encountered in the Chaotic Realm.
"Under the perfect operation of the Heavenly Way, even the creation of secret techniques has become so perfect."
Fang Chen sighed repeatedly in amazement. It was impossible to create such a perfect secret technique in the Chaotic Realm. Only the Origin World, which relied on the perfect operation of the Heavenly Dao, could succeed.
Whoosh!
Fang Chen took a deep breath and collected his thoughts. His consciousness enveloped the scroll and he began to cultivate.
The trip to the Devil's Pool had allowed him to obtain the Nether King's Invincible Nether King Physique.
At this point, he could be considered a "real" member of the Devouring Demon Clan. At least, the aura that he exuded from his every movement gave off such a feeling.
The secret technique was called Nine Demon Swallowing Swords.
It was also a secret sword technique. It was said that one of the generals under the Devouring Demon Clan Leader had created it.
Unfortunately, that battle general died not long after he was created.
In fact, the Demon Devouring Nine Swords had not been completed yet. Strictly speaking, it was incomplete.
However …
Even so, it was not something that anyone could cultivate.
It was said that.
No one in the Origin World had been able to completely master the Nine Devil Devouring Swords.
Until now, the person with the most monstrous potential in the Sword Dao had only mastered eight swords.
…
The Liu family.
"Patriarch, are we just going to let go of a hundred drops of blood?"
"That's the accumulation of our Liu family over the years. It's the hope of the younger generation in the clan."
"Yes, that damned guy is too arrogant. It's said that not long ago, he publicly killed Xiaoyao Hou's personal disciple, but the latter did not punish him."
Some people nodded in agreement.
"That's right. I also heard that after Xiaoyao Hou learned of his monstrous potential, he actually made an exception and let him enter the Devil's Pool to cultivate."
Everyone in the Liu family knew the seriousness of the situation.
The potential of the Military Palace Commander had already been recognized by Xiaoyao Hou.
The latter opened the Devil's Pool to let him cultivate. This also showed his attitude.
Once Xiaoyao Hou sent him to the four branches to cultivate, the Liu family would never be able to take back a hundred drops of blood.
"We can't wait any longer."
Many elders looked at Patriarch Liu.
The latter pondered. This was a matter of great importance and could not be impulsive.
Otherwise, the Liu family would be completely destroyed if they were not careful.
"Patriarch."
A white-haired old man called out in a hoarse voice.
Finally.
The head of the Liu Clan came back to his senses. He swept his gaze across the crowd and said, "The Liu Clan will definitely get the 100 drops of blood back. As for the military commander, he will definitely pay a heavy price for ignoring the Liu Clan."
After pausing for a moment, Patriarch Liu continued.
"Not long ago, the Moon Palace Palace Master Yueheng came to me personally."
Everyone was puzzled.
The Moon Palace was Xiaoyao Hou's force. Why would they come to the Liu family?
"The Moon Palace wants to get rid of the Military Palace Commander and take first place in the Nine Palaces Tournament," Patriarch Liu said.
"They know about the grudge between us and the Military Palace, so they made the request."
He clearly remembered Yueheng's original words.
The Liu family needed to provide five peak Saint Emperor experts to temporarily join the Moon Palace team to stop the Military Palace.
The Moon Palace Master had already seen the list of names submitted by the Nine Palaces.
Lin Chen was on it.
"Instead of taking the risk to charge into the Military Palace and assassinate Lin Chen, why don't we cooperate with the Moon Palace? What do you all think?" Patriarch Liu asked.
Everyone looked at each other and agreed.
"If that's the case, then the Liu family will be prepared. When the Nine Palaces Tournament starts, we will definitely take Lin Chen's life."
…
While Fang Chen was cultivating the Demon Devouring Nine Swords, many things happened in the Xiaoyao Manor.
The most unexpected thing was the black-robed swordsman. He traveled west and defeated countless enemies before finally stopping in front of the Military Palace.
All the forces were secretly paying attention to him.
Just as Fang Chen guessed, the black-robed swordsman was here for him.
"Lin Chen, get out here!"
His voice was loud and spread throughout the entire Military Palace.
"How dare you!"
The guards of the Military Palace rushed out immediately, wanting to kill this person.
Swoosh!
However, what welcomed them was a sky full of sword light.
Swoosh!
Blood rained down as the sword light soared into the sky.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Only then did everyone realize.
The guards of the Military Palace had been killed, and the black-robed swordsman stood with his hands behind his back, carrying a long sword on his back. It was as if he had never attacked.
The air was filled with blood and killing intent.
"So powerful?"
In the dark, many forces gasped and retreated, afraid that they would be affected by the powerful sword light.
"I am Master Demon Mountain. I am here today to prove to the world that you are not qualified to be my Master's disciple."
As soon as he said that, everyone was enlightened.
So …
The black-robed swordsman was targeting the commander of the Military Palace, Lin Chen.
"Where did the courage you had when you rejected my Master go?
Why are you willing to be a coward? "
Seeing that there was no movement from the Military Palace, the black-robed swordsman mocked.
Military Palace, Commander's Residence.
"Commander." The bodyguard asked Fang Chen for his opinion.
"Ignore him."
Fang Chen couldn't be bothered with such a person. It was a waste of time.
