The Violetsea Cave had a feud with Feng Feiyun, but Feng Feiyun's evil affinity had been suppressed so he didn't want to kill too many people. As long as they didn't actively cause trouble, Feng Feiyun wouldn't kill them.
The supreme elder was an early half-step Giant, an expert of the previous generation. However, his battle prowess was only on par with the three corpses. Even with a corpse controller talisman, he would still lose. After some calculations, he gave up and answered Feng Feiyun.
"We received news that the heretical king has come into being. The ten halls of the Senluo Temple will be unified. Not long ago, the Tenth, Eighth, Seventh, and Fifth Halls were subdued by the heretical king's young lord. Some voluntarily submitted while others swore to resist.
For example, the Tenth Hall resisted the most but it still fell under the banner of the Senluo Temple. Even their lord was killed. "
"The Third Hall was the fifth to receive the letter of submission. However, the Third Hall Lord was bold and ambitious. His cultivation was extremely profound, at the ninth level of Heaven's Mandate, so he refused to submit.
Alas, in just one day, the entire city fell with thirty percent casualties. The rest were captured and brought back to the Senluo Temple's headquarters for interrogation. "
The supreme elder from Violetsea exclaimed: "The four walkers of Senluo, Life, Aging, Sickness, and Death, have come out again. Each of them is a monster of the heretical path. I personally saw the walker fight against the Third Lord in the mountains. More than ten peaks collapsed and three lakes were filled. In the end, the walker defeated the Third Lord and took him away."
Though he was a half-step Giant and could command an entire region, he wasn't enough before a true master.
Feng Feiyun naturally knew about the heretical king but Bai Ruxue didn't. She asked in astonishment: "Heretical King, are you talking about the Beacon King that has been missing for two thousand years?"
"Yes, the Beacon King." The controllers from Violetsea Cave were alarmed at the mention of this name.
For most people, if they disappeared for two thousand years, there would definitely be no one in the world who would remember them. But the Vile-Emperor's fame hadn't faded after two thousand years.
"So it was the young lord who took down the Third Hall."
Feng Feiyun pondered. Each of the ten halls of the Senluo Temple was very powerful. Even if they couldn't compare to the four great clans, they were still much stronger than a marquis faction. They were the overlords of the heretical dao.
The combined power of the three halls was comparable to any of the four great clans. Now, the young lord had seized five of them with lightning speed. Adding the first hall he had taken control of from the very beginning, the young lord had, in fact, taken control of six halls.
None of the four great clans could compare to the current Dark Asura Hall.
If the young lord really managed to combine all ten halls into one, then the Senluo Temple would be even stronger than before. At that time, even the imperial court would be inferior.
"That means Bi Xianxian and the other demonesses have already been brought to the Dark Asura Hall's headquarters."
Feng Feiyun didn't care about these demonesses, but he did care about their blood bracelets.
"Let's go!"
Feng Feiyun jumped back onto the tiger's back. Bai Ruxue obediently followed as well. Its wings flapped like a windmill as its gigantic body soared into the sky.
The old men from Violetsea heaved a sigh of relief after Feng Feiyun's departure. However, their expressions immediately turned cold with murderous glints in their eyes.
"Feng Feiyun is here again, we must inform the cave master immediately. It's best if we kill him before he returns to the capital."
"That's right!
Feng Feiyun might be strong right now, but his wings haven't fully grown yet. Without the power of the Divine King's faction, he's nothing. Our cave has many experts who can kill him. "
"He must be looking for someone from the Third Hall. Right now, he should be heading to their headquarters. There are several places he has to pass through on the way, I can definitely ambush him."
"Let's go!"
The supreme elder quickly ordered people to put all the corpses they found into the sarcophagus. The group then left Dark Crab City and headed west. They traveled through the night and spent three days to leave the Heavenly Wondrous Mountain Range.
They didn't return to the Western Realm Prefecture. Instead, they went to a city of death at the edge of the mountain range.
This city of death was located at the edge of Central Royal Prefecture, the intersection of Grand Southern, Ancient Jiang, and Central Royal. This was a strategic location, so the Violetsea Cave Lord temporarily turned this place into a palace for the cave's operations.
"Ancestor Lu, why are you all injured?
Where are the others? "A young disciple from the Violetsea Cave went to support the most heavily injured old man.
The Great Elder walked straight into a palace shrouded in eerie Yin energy and paid his respects to Violetsea Cave Master, Violetsea King.
"Feng Feiyun is here again. Though he's just a pawn, we still need to be careful."
Violetsea King was lying in a pool of blood, bathing in blood. The blood was like tentacles that kept drilling into his body.
"Feng Feiyun has a feud with us. Back then, the Yama Decay Blood almost took his life. His cultivation isn't strong enough right now so he won't attack us. However, with his talents, he'll become a top expert in less than thirty years. Plus, he has the power of the Divine King's faction. He'll definitely target us first."
Violetsea King closed his eyes and smirked: "The Divine King's faction?
The Jin Dynasty will be gone in thirty years, so how can there still be one?
However, Feng Feiyun is indeed a big threat. Getting rid of him will save us a lot of trouble.
Bu Tian. "
In the great palace, the yin wind gathered and formed a pale-faced man. He just stood there, the yin qi on his body was extremely strong. He said, "Here."
The supreme elder felt a chill run down his spine after seeing this man, as if he had fallen into an ice cave. Could this be the cave master's first disciple, Bu Tian?
He stood in the center of the palace and was very respectful towards Violetsea King. His left sleeve gently fluttered in the wind. He only had one hand.
"Your battle corpse has reached the Corpse King realm, right?" Violetsea King asked.
Bu Tian nodded mechanically: "It has reached the initial stage, but it needs to be tempered in order to truly have the power of a Corpse King."
Bu Tian waved his sleeve and a man covered in scales rushed in from outside the palace. These scales were refined from Black Tortoise Iron and were engraved with formation runes. Bu Tian had personally inlaid them one by one. Even a spirit tool might not be able to penetrate this layer of scales.
The man covered in scales opened his mouth and let out a long howl. His mouth had long since rotted, and corpse energy surged.
"Very well!
I'll give you a chance to become a Corpse King. Didn't you want to become famous after one battle?
Go kill one person and you'll become famous, famous throughout the world. "Violetsea King said.
Bu Tian's expression remained calm despite the coldness around him: "Kill who?"
"Feng Feiyun.
Feng Feiyun is currently on his way to the Senluo Temple's headquarters. Kill him now and your fame will be even greater than his. "
Before Violetsea King could finish, Bu Tian had already disappeared from the palace. The Corpse King covered in scales naturally followed behind him.
The supreme elder asked: "Cave Master, Feng Feiyun is a cunning person. Should we send a few experts with Bu Tian to ensure that nothing goes wrong?"
"No need, Bu Tian will be absolutely safe."
…
The Senluo Temple's heritage was extremely ancient. There were many rumors regarding its founding in the heretical faction.
There were many different opinions regarding its location. Some said that it was in the Ancient Jiang Prefecture's Grassland Swamp. Others said that it was in the Heaven's Will Prefecture's hundred thousand miles of grassland. Others said that it was in Bronze Cauldron Mountain.
However, very few people knew where the headquarters of Dark Asura Hall was located.
"Follow the Heaven's Equal Mountain Range all the way to the east until you reach the end, then enter the Ancient Jiang Prefecture. We should be able to find the Senluo Temple's headquarters in that vast and boundless land."
Bai Ruxue had never been to the Dark Asura Temple's headquarters. She had only heard legends about it from her elders, so she was able to find its approximate location.
It had always been occupied by the First Hall of Senluo. It had a sacred status that couldn't be violated.
"The Senluo Temple is actually in Ancient Jiang Prefecture." Feng Feiyun mused.
Ancient Jiang was at the edge of the Jin Dynasty. It had the most primitive forest in the entire dynasty. A group of powerful Jiangs lived here. They were more than three meters tall and were born with great strength. They were simple and honest, living a primitive tribal lifestyle.
There were many tribes in Ancient Jiang, but only three were the biggest. They had extraordinary battle prowess and millions of warlike warriors.
Among them, there were some powerful barbarians who were five to six meters tall. They could uproot a mountain with one hand, and with a single roar, they could scare away spirit beasts that had cultivated for thousands of years.
Central Royal was the largest prefecture in Jin, occupying one-third of the entire dynasty. However, in terms of territory, Ancient Jiang was still the biggest. This was because it was at the edge of the dynasty, backed by Endless Land. It stretched for 800,000 miles to the east before reaching the other dynasty, Qian.
Jin and Qian were 800,000 miles away from each other. This desolate forest was the territory of Endless Land. Humans rarely went there.
Thus, there was a popular proverb in Jin: "Among the eight great prefectures of Jin, the smallest is Grand Southern, the largest is Central Royal. The barbarians of Ancient Jiang are bigger than daddy."
This meant that the smallest prefecture in the Jin Dynasty was the Grand Southern Prefecture and the largest was the Central Royal Prefecture. Meanwhile, the Ancient Jiang Prefecture was even bigger.
Cultivators from the Jin Dynasty rarely came to Ancient Jiang because they were very xenophobic. Some tribes even ate humans. Only supreme experts who had reached a very high cultivation would go to the Endless Land in search of the fortune of the immortal dao and immortal medicines.
