Chapter 209

It seems that the world is really going to be in chaos.

And their Wudang Sect must make full preparations.

At the same time, the distant Great Sui Dynasty, Mount Ditashan, Cihang Cihang Jingzhai.

This immortal gate pure land, known as the holy land of the martial arts world, which has seemed transcendent for hundreds of years but has actually been influencing the pattern of the world in secret.

At this moment, it was gloomy, and the atmosphere was solemn to the extreme, as if even the mist in the mountains carried a trace of sadness.

Inside the Quiet Convent, the contemporary Convent Master Fan Fan Qinghui, after hearing the news transmitted back from the East Sea regarding the two ancestral masters of their sect, the Heavenly Monk and the Earthly Nun, both having fallen at the hands of the flood dragon of Taohuadao.

The whole person was like being struck by lightning, shocked and angry, sad and pained!

Her pretty face was filled with unbelievable horror and endless fear!

She never expected that the two sect ancestors who had already reached the Land Immortal realm, possessed unfathomable strength, and were enough to suppress the entire martial arts world and guard the peace of Cihang Cihang Jingzhai for hundreds of years.

Actually... actually fell so easily?!

And, they died at the hands of that... that legendary demon dragon?!

Even their golden cores and relics were devoured by the other party as trophies!

"No! This is impossible! This is absolutely impossible!"

Fan Fan Qinghui screamed, her voice becoming sharp and harsh due to extreme anger and fear, no longer having her usual dignity and composure.

She was so angry that she vomited a mouthful of blood, staining the white ground in front of her with a striking crimson.

"Is there... is there really no expert in my Buddhist sect who can subdue this lawless demon dragon?!"

"Are we just going to watch it do whatever it wants in this world, kill the innocent, and blaspheme the gods and Buddhas?!"

She let out a cry filled with unwillingness and despair.

But, immediately, she remembered the terrifying strength of that dragon, which suppressed several Land Immortals with a flip of its hand and shook the heavenly tribulation without dying.

And the demonic means of defying the Dao and refining the entire Songshan Shaolin Temple on Mount Song into "provisions."

A deep sense of powerlessness arose in her heart.

She gave a bitter smile, slumped on the ground, her eyes filled with gray and confusion.

She knew that from now on, her Cihang Cihang Jingzhai, and even the entire Buddhist sect, would probably never be able to claim to be the "leader of the righteous path of the world," hold the bull’s ear of the martial arts world, and choose the emperor on behalf of heaven as before.

Even, they needed to worry at any time whether that moody and decisive East Sea Dragon Lord would personally kill her Mount Ditashan because of the offense of the Heavenly Monk and Earth Nun, and completely... erase her Cihang Cihang Jingzhai from this world like Songshan Shaolin Temple on Mount Song.

For a moment, endless fear and despair enveloped this contemporary Convent Master of the Cihang Quiet Convent.

However, at this moment, the atmosphere in the entire world was the most silent and the most oppressive.

It was still that... Northern Liang Prince’s Mansion, located in the northwest border, filled with iron-blooded and slaughtering aura.

When the news of the death of Sword Saint Xu Xu Yanbing, the fall of the White-Clad Military Immortal Chen Chen Zhibao, and the total annihilation of the 200,000 Great Snow Dragon Cavalry.

Was passed back to the Northern Liang Prince’s Mansion through the mouths of those martial artists who luckily escaped.

The entire Prince’s Mansion fell into a deathly silence.

Those 300,000 Great Snow Dragon Cavalry who had once swept the world and were fearless, after learning this news.

All remained silent, but in their red eyes, a monstrous rage and... a trace of unconcealable fear burned, enough to burn the entire world to ashes!

Northern Liang Prince Xu Xiao, the "Human Butcher" who had once spent his life in battle and killed countless people.

After learning this news, his hair and beard turned white overnight!

He locked himself alone in front of his late wife Wu Su’s tomb for a whole day and night, not saying a word, not eating or drinking.

No one knew what he was thinking during this time.

Only knowing that when he walked out of the tomb again the next day.

On his face, which had originally carried a bit of majesty and domineering aura, only endless... fatigue and madness remained!

He talked to himself in front of Wu Su’s tomb, repenting, his voice hoarse and filled with pain.

"Susu... I’m sorry... it’s me... it’s me who didn't protect our Fengnian well..."

"It’s me... it’s me who was too arrogant, too underestimated the heroes of the world, that made him... made him fall into such a dangerous situation and suffer such great humiliation!"

"Don't worry, Susu, I... I will definitely avenge Fengnian! I will definitely smash that demon dragon into ten thousand pieces, grind its bones and scatter its ashes! Use its blood to wash away the shame of my Northern Liang!"

And then!

Monstrous rage and crazy killing intent erupted in Xu Xiao’s eyes!

He issued a crazy order that was enough to shake the entire world!

He wanted to... withdraw all defenses on the Northern Mang border!

Gather the 30,000 Great Snow Dragon Cavalry and all the troops of Northern Liang!

At all costs, he wanted to... take revenge!

"Prince! You can't!"

The poisonous strategist Li Li Yishan, after hearing Xu Xiao’s crazy decision, was scared out of his wits and hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him bitterly.

"Prince! You are putting the entire Northern Liang into a place of no return!"

"Once the defense against Northern Mang is withdrawn, the tiger and wolf army of Northern Mang will definitely take advantage of the void and drive straight in! By then, the millions of people in my Northern Liang will all become lambs waiting to be slaughtered! This... this must not be done!"

However, at this moment, Xu Xiao had long been blinded by anger and hatred, becoming headstrong.

He couldn't listen to any persuasion at all!

He let out a roar filled with threats and madness toward the direction of the Liyang Imperial Capital:

"Pass the order! Tell the Emperor of Liyang!"

"This Prince only gives him seven days!"

"Within seven days, if he does not send a large army to take over our Northern Liang’s defense line in Northern Mang!"

"Then this Prince will immediately open the border and let the million-strong iron cavalry of Northern Mang step into the Central Plains!"

"By then, the responsibility for the chaos in the world and the suffering of the people will be borne by the Liyang Imperial Family!"

He actually... actually wanted to use the safety of the entire world to threaten the Liyang Imperial Family!

He planned to gather all the experts and all the troops of Northern Liang to fight a life-and-death battle with the dragon on Taohuadao at all costs!

Li Li Yishan looked at Xu Xiao, who was like a madman, and could only give a bitter smile helplessly.

He knew that he could no longer persuade this Northern Liang Prince whose eyes were blinded by hatred.

Northern Liang is in danger! The world is in danger!

Xu Xiao ignored Li Li Yishan.

He walked straight toward the Listening Tide Pavilion, which symbolized the highest achievement of Northern Liang martial arts and was also the most mysterious!

He walked straight to the bottom floor of the Listening Tide Pavilion!

That was a forbidden area that even he didn't dare to step into easily!

Because, there, a true... Sword God was imprisoned!

He looked at the closed stone door made of ten-thousand-year mysterious ice, took a deep breath, and shouted in a hoarse and majestic voice:

"Li Li Chungang! The favor you owe my Northern Liang, it’s time... to pay it back!"

And at this time, Taohuadao.

Ning Chuan was in his small courtyard, in seclusion.

The disturbances outside, and the impending disaster, he seemed... completely unaware, or rather, didn't care at all.

For the past few days, he had immersed all his heart and soul in the deduction and perfection of the [Nine Tribulations Dragon Transformation Method].

He carefully observed the changes in celestial phenomena, felt the rotation of the sun, moon, and stars, and realized the mysteries of the laws of heaven and earth.

He also verified the Daoist scriptures obtained from the Quanzhen Sect and the Xiaoyao Sect’s *Xiaoyao Scripture* with what he had learned, integrating them.

Inspiration kept flashing in his mind, and his understanding of the Great Dao of heaven and earth and the evolution of life became deeper and deeper.

Finally, after spending countless heart and inspiration, and using massive demonic power to deduce.

He successfully deduced the third tribulation of the [Nine Tribulations Dragon Transformation Method]—the True Dragon Tribulation!

Although it was still just a prototype, there were still many places that needed to be perfected.

But this was undoubtedly another huge, milestone breakthrough!

Ning Chuan’s heart was filled with unspeakable joy!

"True Dragon Tribulation!"

"As long as I can successfully pass the Human-Form Tribulation, cultivate the demonic power in the dragon pearl to the nine-turn completion, and thoroughly stabilize the human form."

"I can trigger this third heavenly tribulation—the True Dragon Tribulation!"
