“This matter starts with the internal strife in the Hundred Spirit Sect. The ancestor of the Hundred Spirit Sect, Yu Xuanji, is a second-generation awakener of the spirit beast bloodline, the Ice Phoenix. He is extremely powerful.”
“However, the cultivation technique he cultivated seemed to have hidden dangers and was discovered by his senior sister from the same sect. While he was undergoing nirvana, she colluded with the White Tiger Aristocratic Family to launch a sneak attack and severely injured him.”
“Now that this ancestor of the Hundred Spirit Sect has fled to our Great Wei’s Cloud Prefecture, the Hundred Spirit Sect refuses to give up and wants to use the White Tiger Family’s Hundred Bird Battleaxe to find this ancestor.”
“The demons want to find the Essence Soul Bead, so they joined forces with the Hundred Spirit Sect and the White Tiger Aristocratic Family to pressure the higher-ups of Great Wei.”
“Once a war breaks out in the Chu Country, the Cloud Prefecture will definitely be plunged into misery and suffering. At that time, regardless of whether we agree or not, the Blood Sacrifice will be necessary.”
“Isn’t Great Wei the strongest among the three countries? Is Chu really so fearless?” Han Zhao pondered and said.
“Because there are also many peace factions among us. Only the higher-ups of the Cao family and the Qi family fight. The other aristocratic families don’t think there’s a need to fight the top aristocratic families of Chu,” Qi Xuanming said in a low voice.
“Internal strife is really the eternal theme of humans.” Han Zhao sighed inwardly.
“There are even some extreme Weapon Masters who think that this is the best opportunity to use the Blood Sacrifice Divine Weapon to increase the level of the Divine Weapon. Mortals are still the foundation of spirit beast aristocratic families, but to some Divine Weapon Family, mortals are treated as food by them. These aristocratic families are no different from demons.” Qi Xuanming clenched his fists.
“In order to use the Blood Sacrifice Hundred Bird Battleaxe, the Hundred Spirit Sect and the White Tiger Aristocratic Family need some women born during the Yin Year, Yin Month, and Yin Hour as special offerings. Your senior sister meets the conditions. Furthermore, she’s a Grandmaster-level martial artist. It’s a great supplement for divine weapons.”
“Can’t the Qi family stop the people from the Hundred Spirit Sect and the White Tiger Aristocratic Family?” Han Zhao’s heart sank.
“We can only temporarily block the Snake-level experts for you, but you have to deal with people at the same level as you yourself. The leader of the
Hundred Spirit Sect and the White Tiger Aristocratic Family is called Murong Qi. He’s ranked 19th on the Qilin Ranking and is a second bloodline awakener.” Qi Xuanming frowned.
“I only need to deal with people of the same level?” Han Zhao was stunned.
Seeing Han Zhao’s performance, Qi Xuanming added, “Those who can enter the top 20 of the Qilin Ranking are all peerless geniuses of the East Victory Continent. They either have powerful spirit beast bloodlines or have inherited the special talent of powerful divine weapons. All of them have the ability to fight above their level.”
When his Eldest Senior Brother was at the Five Qi Perfection realm, he had once severely injured a third-level Snake-level demon with the Mystic Heaven
Spirit Slaying Sword Technique. Even so, he was only ranked third on the Qilin Ranking.
“As for Cao Xuan, who was ranked first back then, and Yu Chongxiao, who was ranked second, their strength is even more unfathomable.”
“Thank you, Brother Qi. I’ll be careful.” Han Zhao had a rough understanding of his combat strength.
Excluding the lifespan burning of the Withering Style, his current strength was still clearly far from the top three of the Qilin Ranking.
Of course, he was not dealing with the top three monsters. This guy was only ranked 19th.
“The best solution now is to move to Cloud Prefecture City or directly move to Heavenly Prefecture’s Great Liang City. Under my Qi family’s nose, the people from the Hundred Spirit Sect and the White Tiger Aristocratic Family won’t go overboard.” Qi Xuanming pondered and said, “However…”
“Brother Qi, there’s no harm in saying it,” Han Zhao said seriously.
“There aren’t many higher-ups in the Qi family who support Eldest Senior
Brother and me on the martial path. Now, if we provoke the Hundred Spirit Sect and the White Tiger Aristocratic Family for Brother Han, the Eldest Senior Brother will have to bear a lot of pressure,” Qi Xuanming explained.
“I understand. I have to prove my value.” Han Zhao understood.
If there was a choice, he was naturally unwilling to leave.
The Furious Flood Dragon Gang could bring him an endless stream of gold and resources. If he went to the center of the Great Wei in the Heavenly Prefecture, Great Liang, he would have to rely on others to live.
He had to go to Great Liang, but not now.
“Now that the martial arts are weak, many aristocratic families don’t want another person like my Eldest Senior Brother to appear.” Qi Xuanming looked apologetic.
He sincerely believed that Han Zhao’s martial arts talent was not inferior to Qi Yuntian’s. The only difference was his background. Without a powerful background, the path of martial arts was very difficult.
“No matter what, I have to thank Brother Qi for bringing me this news.” Han Zhao cupped his fists and bowed. “To be honest, I’ve recently made a breakthrough in my saber technique. I might have a chance of winning against Murong Qi.”
“What? Brother Han has made another breakthrough in his saber technique?!”
Qi Xuanming was shocked and hurriedly said, “Since Brother Han is confident, I’ll gather information about Murong Qi for you. I hope it’ll be helpful to you.”
As he spoke, Qi Xuanming left in a hurry.
“Thank you, Brother Qi.” Han Zhao couldn’t help but sigh. This Qi Xuanming was really a person to befriend.
Han Zhao immediately set off.
“Yu Niang, Yu Niang!” On the way, he kept calling her through his bloodline connection with Yu Niang. However, because he was far away, he could not contact her directly.
“Is she resisting me?
Han Zhao frowned slightly. He could sense the fluctuations in Yu Niang’s emotions in the bloodline connection. It seemed to be very different from her original personality.
“Looks like I have to upgrade the Blood Spirit Policy!’
Han Zhao returned to the Furious Flood Dragon Island and announced that he was cultivating in seclusion. Then, he headed straight for the underground secret chamber of the Furious Flood Dragon Hall.
Standing in front of Shangguan Lie’s coffin, Han Zhao took a deep breath and took out the alchemy furnace and the raw materials to refine the Dragon Blood Pill from the Sumeru Pouch.
Now, it was time to increase his combat strength..
