"Ding! Congratulations to the host for opening the silver treasure chest. You have obtained 20 mid-grade Earth-tier Energy-gathering Pills!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for opening the silver treasure chest. You have obtained 30 thousand-year-old Tai Chi Fruits!"
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for opening the silver treasure chest. You have obtained a rare refining material, Fallen Star Steel!"
…
Ye Qing listened to the system beep in his mind and was in a good mood. He did not lack Energy-gathering Pills. The main thing was that he had obtained a piece of Fallen Star Steel. He could use it to refine equipment and improve the quality of the peerless sword!
In the void, a peerless sword appeared. The body of the sword was dazzling, and the tip of the sword was flowing with a green light.
Since he had obtained the Fallen Star Steel, Ye Qing did not delay and immediately began refining equipment.
"Weng!"
He opened his mouth and spat out the True Samadhi Fire. The blazing flame quickly melted the Fallen Star Steel.
Next, Ye Qing merged the peerless sword with the Fallen Star Steel. The body of the sword shone with starlight, and it looked even more extraordinary.
Fallen Star Steel was an extremely precious refining material. It could not be found in the Northern Desert. It could only be found in a large place like the Heaven's Wall City.
However, Fallen Star Steel was priceless and difficult to obtain. Ye Qing had rummaged through the Chu Family's treasury and found various refining materials such as Dragon Flame Black Iron, Black Frost Iron, Thousand Star Steel, and so on. They were all good refining materials. Unfortunately, they were only mid-grade refining materials and could not be compared to Fallen Star Steel.
Fallen Star Steel was an upper-grade refining material. It was a treasure that countless refining masters dreamed of.
Dragon Flame Black Iron, Black Frost Iron, and other materials were slightly inferior when used to refine Earth-tier magic treasures. Now that Ye Qing had obtained the Fallen Star Steel, he must make good use of it and forge a truly peerless sword. It had to be at least of the upper-grade Earth-tier to be worthy of the title "Peerless Sword".
Now that the Fallen Star Steel had been successfully smelted, the next step was for Ye Qing to start refining a peerless sword.
With Ye Qing's superior refining skills, it was not a problem at all. In an instant, the peerless sword was successfully refined. With the help of the True Samadhi Fire, whether it was refining pills or refining weapons, Ye Qing could achieve twice the result with half the effort.
Buzz!
Suddenly, the peerless sword let out a series of sword cries. Ye Qing's heart moved. He held the peerless sword in his hand and slashed in the air. With a loud bang, the entire palace collapsed!
Ye Qing was stunned. He hadn't even used any martial skills. He had only used a simple sweep of his sword to destroy a palace. He had to admit that the power of a peerless sword was very strong.
After refining Meteor Steel, the peerless sword had become a mid-grade Earth-rank magic treasure, and its might had become even more tyrannical.
In the following days, Ye Qing continued to stay in the Chu Clan. On one hand, he took pills to cultivate and stabilize his cultivation. On the other hand, he would give pointers to the younger members of the Chu Clan when he was free.
In Black Wind Ridge, there was no movement for the time being. The First Master said that he wanted to destroy the Chu Clan, but in reality, he didn't dare to do so.
Previously, the Third Master and forty elite bandits of Black Wind Ridge had died in the Chu Clan, causing Black Wind Ridge's vitality to be greatly damaged. For the time being, there was no need to talk about revenge.
In Heaven's Wall City, it was calm on the surface. However, there were undercurrents surging in the dark.
The Zhao Clan was a colossus in Heaven's Wall City. They had always been at odds with the Chu Clan and had always wanted to destroy the Chu Clan and occupy Heaven's Wall City.
Recently, the Zhao Clan had good news. The Zhao Clan's proud son, Zhao Tianlong, had gone to Liangchuan City in Liangzhou to gain experience and made a name for himself. He had received the recognition of one of the seven noble families, the Ye Clan, and had joined the Ye Clan's Outer Clan!
Zhao Tianlong had made a name for himself in Liangchuan City. After joining the Ye Clan's Outer Clan, his identity and status had immediately changed.
Now, Zhao Tianlong had ended his training in Liangchuan City and returned to Heaven's Wall City. He was ready to help the Zhao Clan do something big.
When Zhao Tianlong returned to Heaven's Wall City, the Zhao Clan was overjoyed and gave him the grandest welcome. With Zhao Tianlong around, the Zhao Clan had climbed up the big tree known as the Ye Clan. Their future was limitless.
The Zhao Clan's Patriarch, Zhao Rui, was overjoyed. Zhao Tianlong was his son and had always been gifted. Now that he had made a name for himself in Liangchuan City and received the recognition of the Ye Clan, it could be said that he had returned home in glory and brought glory to his ancestors.
Zhao Tianlong was in high spirits. When he returned to Heaven's Wall City, he received news of Zhao Aotian's death. He was instantly enraged.
Zhao Tianlong and Zhao Aotian were cousins and had a close relationship since they were young. When Zhao Tianlong returned to Heaven's Wall City, he wanted to drink and chat with Zhao Aotian. However, he did not expect that Zhao Aotian had already fallen.
Zhao Tianlong investigated the situation and found out that the murderer was a young man named Li Xunhuan. He immediately wanted to take action to avenge Zhao Aotian.
However, Zhao Rui stopped Zhao Tianlong and told him about the various rumors about Li Xunhuan.
It was rumored that Li Xunhuan had killed the Second Head of Black Wind Ridge in the outskirts of Heaven's Wall City.
It was rumored that Li Xunhuan had single-handedly killed the Third Head of Black Wind Ridge and forty elite bandits.
It was rumored that Li Xunhuan was an alchemy grandmaster who could concoct pills with a wave of his hand.
When Zhao Tianlong heard the various rumors about Li Xunhuan, he became even angrier. He did not care who Li Xunhuan was. Anyone who dared to touch his brother was courting death!
"Father, I will immediately go to the Chu Clan and kill that Li Xunhuan!"
Zhao Tianlong was filled with anger and had nowhere to vent it. He must kill Li Xunhuan and avenge his brother. Otherwise, he would suffocate to death!
"Tianlong, calm down. Now that Chu Renjie is protecting Li Xunhuan, if you want to kill Li Xunhuan, you must first go through Chu Renjie!"
"Father, you don't know this, but I have already awakened my memories. In my previous life, I was a Yama King from hell. Now that I have returned from hell, my strength has increased greatly. Even if Chu Renjie stops me, I can still kill Li Xunhuan!"
Zhao Tianlong sneered, his face was filled with confidence. When these words came out, Zhao Rui could no longer remain calm.
"A Yama King from hell?
Sky Dragon, don't talk nonsense. We need to take our time and think about how to avenge Ao Tian. "
Zhao Rui was dumbfounded. What Yama King from hell? Returning from hell? This was simply a fantasy. How could he believe it?
"Father, it's fine if you don't believe me. With my current strength, I can fight against Chu Renjie, not to mention Li Xunhuan."
Zhao Tianlong's face was cold. His words revealed a strong sense of confidence.
"Tianlong, it's not that I don't believe you. It's just that the Chu Clan has deep roots. Since we have made a move against the Chu Clan, we must deal with them once and for all."
Zhao Rui was secretive. He stroked his beard and said: "I heard that the Second and Third Leaders of Black Wind Ridge died at the hands of Li Xunhuan. The First Leader of Black Wind Ridge must hate Li Xunhuan to the bone. We can go to the First Leader and discuss this. Perhaps we can ally with the Black Wind Ridge!"
Zhao Rui explained his intentions. Allying with the Black Wind Ridge was indeed a good idea. Moreover, the success rate of this alliance was very high.
"Alright, Father. We have made sufficient preparations to destroy the Chu Clan in one fell swoop. In the future, Heaven's Wall City will belong to our Zhao Clan!"
Zhao Tianlong muttered to himself. He temporarily suppressed the anger in his heart. The reason he returned to Heaven's Wall City was to help the Zhao Clan destroy the Chu Clan.
In the process of destroying the Chu Clan, Zhao Tianlong could easily get rid of Li Xunhuan.
"Tianlong, I'll have to trouble you to make a trip to Liangchuan City. If you can get the help of the Ye Clan's experts, that would be great."
Zhao Rui's eyes flashed. Since Zhao Tianlong had joined the Ye Clan, he must know some of the Ye Clan's experts. If he gave them some gifts, he might be able to get the Ye Clan's help.
"Father, you're right. With my position in the Ye Clan, I can invite a Ye Clan Elder over!"
Zhao Tianlong's eyes lit up. He had just joined the Ye Clan not long ago and had already become a member of the Ye Clan's Outer Clan. Moreover, many Ye Clan Elders had expressed that they could marry their daughters or granddaughters to Zhao Tianlong. With this marriage, they could rope in Zhao Tianlong to become a member of the Ye Clan's Inner Clan.
As he spoke, Zhao Rui took out various precious treasures, including mid-grade Earth-tier martial skills, mid-grade Earth-tier magic treasures and so on. He handed them to Zhao Tianlong and asked him to bring them to the Ye Clan.
However, Zhao Tianlong waved his hand and said with a face full of confidence, "Father, with my talent, it's enough to gain the attention of the Ye Clan. I don't need any gifts to invite a Ye Clan Elder."
After Zhao Tianlong finished speaking, he immediately walked out of the room and headed towards Liangchuan City.
Suddenly, Zhao Tianlong's pupils shrank as he saw a middle-aged martial artist in black robes flying towards him from the sky!
