Chapter 454

“Find Xu Yan and Meng Chong!”

Alliance Hierarch spoke solemnly, “Also, keep a close watch for any strong Loose Cultivators who have entered Yuzhou.”

“Yes!”

The Left Protector nodded, then hesitated, “Xu Yan and Meng Chong move in secret. Finding them will be extremely difficult. I’m afraid that before we find them, the Yushen Sect and the Su family may already be a step ahead.”

The Alliance Hierarch’s face darkened. The all Ages Alliance, due to its inability to openly operate, was ultimately inferior to the intelligence capabilities of Yushen Sect and the other Spirit Sects and families in Yuzhou.

After all, the whole of Yuzhou was under the rule of these Spirit Sects and families.

“Closely monitor any activities from the Refining God experts of Yushen Sect and the Su Family. As soon as anything unusual is discovered, notify me immediately.”

Alliance Hierarch thought for a moment and commanded.

In all of Yuzhou, from the Spirit Sects and family’s Martial Artists to the lowest ranking Loose Cultivators, everyone is searching for signs of Xu Yan and Meng Chong. Whoever provides clues will receive a Spirit Crystal reward.

Who wouldn’t be tempted?

“The power of the Spirit Sects and the noble families is indeed terrifying.”

Meng Chong sighed.

“Heh, Yushen Sect and the Su Family, huh?! I’ll take them down sooner or later.”

Xu Yan sneered.

The two were in a store, buying books describing all kinds of treasures in Ling Domain. They overheard the Martial Artists discussing about the bounties set by the Yushen Sect and the Su Family.

Now, the entire Martial Arts world of Yuzhou was in an uproar because of these two.

The city they were in was under Yushen Sect’s control. Almost every Martial Artist in the city was looking for them.

However, Xu Yan and Meng Chong were not flustered at all.

Both their appearances and their auras had been completely changed.

Even if a Refining God Heavenly Man were to face them, they wouldn’t be recognized.

After buying the books they needed, the two went around the city.

“Killing a Refining God Heavenly Man is a bit difficult, but killing a greater Heavenly Man is as easy as turning over a hand. The great Heavenly Man here is an affiliate of the Yushen Sect. Let’s add some fuel to their fire!”

Xu Yan sneered.

“The bounty set by the Yushen Sect is still lacking. It’s not bold enough.”

He thought of adding fuel to the fire, making the Yushen Sect to further increase their bounty.

The next day, a piece of news shocked the whole city.

The City Lord has been murdered!

The murderer was Xu Yan!

And he even left behind a message mocking the Yushen Sect!

“Who does Xu Yan think he is, being so arrogant? A mere Loose Cultivator dares to take on a Spirit Sect as their enemy, and it’s Yuzhou’s number one sect at that!”

“Even though I feel that Xu Yan is on the path of self-destruction, I don’t know why, but I find it quite refreshing!”

“I feel the same, those bastards from the Spirit Sects are getting what they deserve. I somehow feel incredibly proud.”

The Loose Cultivators discussed excitedly.

Meanwhile, Yushen Sect was shocked.

Xu Yan had brazenly appeared in the city and no one had noticed.

Even after the City Lord was murdered, it took a long time for people to discover!

By now, Xu Yan must have already escaped from the city.

Shortly after the Yushen Sect’s city lord was killed, the emperor backed by the Su Family, was also killed.

The murderer was Meng Chong!

This immediately gave the Yushen Sector and the Su Family, a strong sense of crisis.

The worst thing wasn’t having a strong enemy, but not being able to find the enemy!

Just as Yushen Sect and Su Family’s strongest were marching out in all directions, looking for Xu Yan and Meng Chong, a three-tiered Spirit Sect that was loyal to the Yushen Sect and the Su Family and that had participated in the pursuit, their Sect Master was assassinated right outside of their sect gate!

Xu Yan and Meng Chong even swaggeringly declared that those who dared to meddle in their dispute with the Yushen Sect and the Su Family, should not be surprised if they show no mercy!

Another Refining God expert was ambushed!

Yuzhou’s martial arts world was truly shaken, even the neighbouring Luo State’s major Spirit Sects and families knew about the two ferocious Loose Cultivators in Yuzhou.

They were even killing the Refining God Heavenly Man of the Spirit Sects and the families!

Following these events, the three-tier Spirit Sects and the families who were participating in hunting down Xu Yan and Meng Chong, immediately started backing off!

They did not want to be ambushed and killed!

While the temptation of advancing to a second-tier Spirit Sect or Wealthy Family and spirit crystal mines was great, if their lives were gone, everything would be meaningless.

“Dad, do you see this? These people are vicious. Don’t think that Loose Cultivators can’t be ferocious. Don’t forget about the Blood Demon.”

Shen Haizhou said to his father.

He was also shocked.

Xu Yan and Meng Chong, these two, were truly brutal.

“What my son said is correct. Thankfully our Shen Family did not get involved.”

Shen Wang nodded.

Although the Shen family was powerful, they could not withstand the attention of these two ferocious men. He, Shen Wang, did not want to face a difficult situation.

In a city within Zheng Country, Xu Yan and Meng Chong walked side by side.

“It’s time to go back.”

Since the Jade Spirit Sect and the Su Family were on guard, an ill-considered attack would easily lead to an ambush. Therefore, the two did not plan to continue, but to return to their master’s temporary residence instead.

…

After Li Xuan taught Fang Hao the martial arts of the mysterious door, he occasionally checked on Fang Hao and found that Fang Hao had been contemplating the cultivation technique on the mountain top.

A few days later, Fang Hao still hadn’t figured it out.

Li Xuan was not in a hurry. The Daoist Golden Book gave a high evaluation of the difficulty of understanding the martial arts of the mysterious door, so it was not something that could be done overnight.

Even if it was just getting started.

While researching the Heaven and Earth laws in the Book of Tai Cang, on top of the Soul Pedestal, the Daoist Golden Book flipped open, and golden light poured out.

Li Xuan couldn’t help but feel joyous, had Fang Hao understood the mysterious door martial arts?

He quickly dismissed that thought. According to the feedback rules of the Daoist Golden Book, a new martial arts system would only receive feedback after the entry-level cultivation is completed.

“Your disciples Xu Yan and Meng Chong have besieged a Refining God Heavenly Man, and your Divine Annihilation Technique has been enhanced.”

Li Xuan: …

What’s up with Xu Yan and Meng Chong?

Did they kill a Refining God Heavenly Man again?

“Was it someone from the Jade Spirit Sect, or the Su Family?”

Li Xuan did not pay much attention to it. Xu Yan and Meng Chong were calculated in their actions, and in terms of martial arts world experience, they were far more experienced than their master.

One day, Fang Hao came down from the mountain, saying he was going to find a place to cultivate. Once he found the right place, he was confident that he could start his practice.

Li Xuan was secretly delighted, it seemed that Fang Hao had figured out how to cultivate the mysterious door martial arts.

“Is it by leveraging the power of heaven and earth, setting up the mysterious door formation, and then cultivating?”

Li Xuan speculated in his heart.

Two days after Fang Hao left with Little Ha, he came back.

“Master, I’ve found the place to cultivate. Now I need to prepare for the entry-level cultivation.”

Li Xuan nodded and said, “Whatever you need, just say.”

“Thank you, Master!”

Fang Hao was overjoyed.

So, he started to set up a forging platform in the manor. Su Lingxiu helped him complete this platform that he needed for cultivation.

After all, alchemy and artifact refining have some similarities.

After the forging platform was set up, Fang Hao began to forge treasures. These treasures were imprinted with formations by him during the forging process.

Li Xuan silently observed for a moment and roughly guessed Fang Hao’s cultivation method for the martial arts of the mysterious door.

“Fang Hao actually figured out this cultivation method. Could this be the real method of cultivating the martial arts of the mysterious door? Is it feasible?”

Li Xuan quietly got excited.

He had created the martial arts of the mysterious door, and although the entry-level cultivation was not specific, he had provided a theoretical framework. What Fang Hao had comprehended was the most challenging and mysterious method outlined in this theory.

“If this is indeed a viable method, the strength of the martial arts of the mysterious door will exceed my expectations.”

Li Xuan couldn’t help but look forward to it.

It took Fang Hao three days to forge the treasures he needed, which differed from each other, such as long rods, round plates, pillars, and pedestals.

“Junior Brother, how do you plan to use these things you’ve forged?”

Su Lingxiu asked curiously.

Each treasure seemed to have nothing to do with the others, and she couldn’t figure out how they were relevant to the cultivation of the mysterious door martial arts.

“They are to leverage the power. I’m not sure if it will be successful.”

Fang Hao scratched his head and said shyly.

“Master, I am ready.”

Fang Hao approached Li Xuan and respectfully said.

“Yes, follow what your heart has discerned.”

Li Xuan nodded.

“Yes, Master!”

Fang Hao stated firmly.

Just as he was about to set off to his chosen location for cultivation, two figures landed in the manor.

“What’s going on?”

Xu Yan and Meng Chong looked around curiously.

When the two returned, they found the manor in an unusual state, as if it was enveloped in an unknown power, causing a sense of bewilderment and dizziness, creating some kind of illusion.

“Senior Brother, it’s a formation, the array plate forged by Fourth Junior Brother and activated by him!”

Su Lingxiu greeted the two senior brothers with a smile as soon as she saw them return.

“Formation?”

Xu Yan and Meng Chong were taken aback. So this was a formation?

It certainly felt unusual.
