184. Chapter 184: Hidden (Seeking Monthly Votes)

"Master..."

Shi Wanwan held Lian Laogui Lian's corpse, her jade face full of tears.

And the Wan Shouzong Sect disciples behind her were like mourning their parents.

Originally, when the Blood River Hall Second Hall Master appeared, they still had a glimmer of hope.

But they didn't expect that killing star's sword to be so fast that even a mid-Jin Dan cultivator could hardly save anyone.

And they didn't expect that the Heaven Sword Sect had actually sent a famous Jin Dan sword cultivator, and even that Blood River Hall Second Hall Master seemed to have been killed with one sword?

Fang Xing was accustomed to this.

Having condensed the Sword Heart, he naturally knew the power of the Sword Intent, a Rank 3 means.

Especially since Fu Hongyi had long since formed a Jin Dan and had deep cultivation, his execution was even more terrifying, making him a true peak Jin Dan combat power!

Furthermore, sword cultivators generally have deep killing intent, and Fu Hongyi was one of the best among them!

Therefore, the Blood River Hall Second Hall Master fled as soon as he saw Fu Hongyi, only it seemed he didn't succeed.

He manipulated the Rank 3 puppet, slowly collecting his spoils, while his main body stepped forward: "Uncle... I am acting under the Sect Master's orders to clear Zheng State. Today, the mission is complete. The Wan Shouzong Sect is indeed involved with the demonic path. Not only the Wan Shouzong Sect, but the land of the Five Sects and Ten Nations has been infiltrated by the Ten Thousand Phenomena Demonic Sect..."

He handed over a jade slip, which contained the 'Eighteen Golden Corpse Heaven-Turning Formation', the Ten Thousand Dharma Secret Realm, and more detailed information about the Five Sects and Ten Lands.

Fu Hongyi scanned it slightly and nodded: "You did well... This time in Zheng State, you have killed the prestige of my Heaven Sword Sect. Your talent in sword path is truly boundless, the Supreme Elder will surely be overjoyed when he sees it..."

"It cannot compare to Uncle Fu's sword technique supernatural power of killing the Blood River Hall Second Hall Master with one sword."

Fang Xing habitually humbled himself.

"These small-time cultivators, False Jin Dans are like clay chickens and pottery dogs, even True Dans... are actually just so-so."

Fu Hongyi seemed to think of something, his face showing a hint of aftertaste: "With your current Virtual Dan magic power and Rank 3 sword technique, ordinary Jin Dan cultivators are no match for you. If you want to duel with swords, you still have to find the True Inheritor disciples of Nascent Soul sects! Those disciples are the real opponents, especially Jin Dan cultivators, killing them is endless fun! You'll know what I mean when you kill one."

'This expression, this tone... seems like a pervert.'

Fang Xing complained in his heart, and then heard Fu Hongyi say: "Of course, our sect has always been kind to others and is a major orthodox sect, so we can't easily slaughter the True Inheritors of other Nascent Soul sects. However, there will be many opportunities in the upcoming battle with the Ten Thousand Phenomena Demonic Sect."

This was a standard sword cultivator, happy to hear of war.

Fang Xing thought for a moment, looked at the wooden-faced Shi Wanwan and the many Wan Shouzong Sect cultivators, and asked: "How should the Wan Shouzong Sect be dealt with?"

"The Sect Master has ordered to use the Wan Shouzong Sect as a base to build a barracks and wait for the opportunity to break into the land of the Five Sects and Ten Nations to fight the demonic path!"

Fu Hongyi said: "I am the commander-in-chief of this battle and have the power to make decisions on the spot... These Wan Shouzong Sect cultivators colluded with the demonic path and should have been killed... but considering their hard-won cultivation and the upcoming great war, they will all be demoted to slaves. Whether they go to be mine slaves or beast slaves is fine... it can be arranged by the Outer Hall."

As soon as these words were spoken, those Wan Shouzong Sect disciples breathed a sigh of relief.

Especially those Foundation Establishment Elders!

It wasn't that they didn't want to run, but they knew they couldn't run at all.

Soon, the entire Wan Shouzong Sect began to move, and along with Fu Hongyi came a large number of Outer Hall cultivators, turning the Wan Shouzong Sect into a stronghold, removing the original formation, and beginning to upgrade and renovate it.

They prepared to use this place as a permanent stronghold to fight the demonic path.

If Fang Xing hadn't removed the Wan Shouzong Sect, Zheng State might have become a bridgehead for attacking Qi State.

But now the situation had changed drastically. Fu Hongyi sat in Zheng State and unceremoniously issued a decree, conscripting a large number of cultivators from the Profound Heaven Sect, Black Heaven Temple, and many Foundation Establishment forces to come to the front line for use.

The dark clouds of the great war between the orthodox and demonic paths were simply on the verge of breaking out!

Inside the temporary camp.

Fang Xing's status was noble, second only to Fu Hongyi, so he occupied the second-best Rank 3 high-grade spirit vein cave dwelling.

"Yu Jianzi, we in the Outer Hall were afraid you would be impatient with trivial matters, so we specially selected a maid for you to take care of your daily life. What do you think?"

The Outer Hall Shi Zhishi who came to hand over with Fang Xing happened to be someone Fang Xing knew, the 'Xue Zhishi' who loved fishing and led him into the Heaven Sword Sect.

Xue Zhishi smiled until his eyes disappeared, and he even winked at him.

"Maid... taking care of daily life?"

Fang Xing looked at the charming female cultivator behind Xue Zhishi and touched his nose with a guilty conscience.

'Could it be that I indulged slightly at the Qingyan Market and the reputation spread to the Outer Hall?'

However, looking at the female cultivator's face, Fang Xing still couldn't help but speak: "Fellow Daoist Shi..."

This woman was Shi Wanwan, who at this time looked calm, bowed, and said: "Wanwan pays respects to Yu Jianzi... I hope Yu Jianzi will take me in."

"Cough cough..."

Fang Xing looked at Xue Zhishi suspiciously, only to see Xue Zhishi looking serious.

"Forget it... you stay for now."

He waved his hand, and after Xue Zhishi left, he looked at Shi Wanwan: "Fellow Daoist Shi... is your sect still okay?"

Shi Wanwan's body trembled, and she gave Fang Xing a very complex and difficult look.

If it weren't for this person killing three False Jin Dans and the Jin Dan Supreme Elder of the Wan Shouzong Sect, how could she have fallen to this point?

As a result, now, he was still pretending to ask about her state?

"Not very good... many disciples in the sect have been demoted to mine slaves... those with skills have been incorporated into the Outer Hall, and perhaps they will make a living by raising demon beasts in the future."

Shi Wanwan answered with her head lowered.

She came to serve Fang Xing, neither voluntarily nor involuntarily.

After all, if she could win Fang Xing's favor, the treatment of those disciples might be better.

"Back then... on the flying boat, was it you who let those two Qi Condensation disciples stop?"

Fang Xing asked a baffling question.

"So what if it was? So what if it wasn't?"

Shi Wanwan looked at Fang Xing's young face, feeling a bit dazed in her heart.

The sect had racked its brains and finally dominated Zheng State, but what was the result?

Under this person's sword light, it was all a joke!

"Although those two pieces of trash would have just been throwing their lives away even if they acted... I still appreciate your favor."

Fang Xing waved his hand: "If Fellow Daoist Shi is willing, you can leave!"

"Leave?"

Shi Wanwan's body trembled. To be able to obtain freedom, countless Foundation Establishment cultivators in the sect would envy her.

But she finally shook her head: "Wanwan only wishes to be a maid for the Young Master..."

"That won't do. Although your cultivation is not very good, I still don't have the intention of keeping a master-killing enemy by my side..."

Fang Xing waved his hand.

Even if this Shi Wanwan was very beautiful, what kind of maid did he want that he couldn't have?

Why keep a remnant of the Wan Shouzong Sect?

Even if he planted some sea-of-consciousness restrictions, blood contracts, or soul contracts, there was still a certain probability that they could be broken.

Even if the probability was very small!

And if you don't gamble, you definitely won't lose!

Shi Wanwan's expression instantly turned extremely pale...

After sending Shi Wanwan away, Fang Xing returned to the cave dwelling and began to count the spoils.

According to the rules of the cultivation world, the storage bags of enemies killed alone naturally belong to oneself.

Therefore, the storage bags of the three False Jin Dan cultivators and Lian Laogui Lian were all Fang Xing's.

Besides that, there was that Rank 3 giant flood dragon, which also belonged to Fang Xing.

However, because its body was too large, Fang Xing only took the Rank 3 demon core, the best pieces of skin, and some essence blood.

The remaining Rank 3 demon beast meat was purchased by the Outer Hall at a discounted price, which was considered a benefit for the disciples participating in the war.

'This time, after occupying the Wan Shouzong Sect, at least the cultivators going to war can eat demon beast meat full of vitality every day, right?'

Fang Xing thought amusingly.

Then, he opened Lian Laogui Lian's storage bag again.

This Wan Shouzong Sect Master was quite wealthy, but the most valuable thing on him was the Wan Shouzong Armor magic treasure.

Besides that, there was a pile of high-grade spirit stones, a large amount of demon beast fur, bones, etc...

As for cultivation inheritance and the like?

Such a big Wan Shouzong Sect had been taken down, if he wanted them, he could just go to the Scripture Pavilion and copy them.

The storage bags of the other three False Jin Dan cultivators were about the same. Apart from each contributing a magic treasure and a large amount of demon beast materials, there was nothing that made Fang Xing's eyes light up.

'Sure enough... the Wan Shouzong Sect specializes in beast taming... the secret techniques and magic treasures I want that can trigger the inner demons of cultivators... are simply not there.'

'However... within the Heaven Sword Sect, there should be collections in this regard. Although I can't return to the main sect now, this wartime barracks should also have a war merit list, which can be exchanged...'

Cultivators fighting to the death naturally have merit rewards.

These merits can even be exchanged for Foundation Establishment Pills, spirit pills that increase magic power, and even Jin Dan formation treasures!

Therefore, every great war in the cultivation world, although very cruel, is also a rare opportunity for low-level cultivators.

After every great war, countless loose cultivators who were originally in the mud take advantage of the situation to rise, reaching Foundation Establishment and even condensing a Jin Dan.

As for condensing a Nascent Soul?

That is thinking too much. The Nascent Soul opportunities in the Untamed Lands are still too few, basically impossible to be issued as rewards.

Even in major Nascent Soul sects, such opportunities are held by Nascent Soul True Monarchs, who carefully select Nascent Soul seeds.

And they have to wait until the Nascent Soul Great Zhenjun enters the old age stage before considering bestowing them to cultivate the next generation of Nascent Soul True Monarchs.

Some Nascent Soul sects are lucky to achieve one Nascent Soul, and they don't have the ability to cultivate a second Nascent Soul Great Zhenjun at all!

'The Heaven Sword Sect's Nascent Soul opportunity... I don't even know if it exists...'

oCO

Fang Xing complained and began to meditate and practice.

The news of the upcoming great war between the orthodox and demonic paths spread throughout the Untamed Lands, and many cultivators were shocked, fearful, excited, and agitated...

Even the battlefields between the orthodox and demonic sides were not just this one in the Five Sects and Ten Nations.

However, on Fang Xing's side, the main forces were the Heaven Sword Sect and the Ten Thousand Phenomena Demonic Sect.

The Heaven Sword Sect only needed to pay attention to the battlefield of the Five Sects and Ten Nations.

Fang Xing practiced for a few days and walked out of the cave dwelling.

He transformed into a sword light and flew into the high sky, seeing that the original Wan Shouzong Sect mountain gate had long since changed its appearance.

Even if Lian Laogui Lian were resurrected, he might not recognize it.

A large number of beast pens were leveled and transformed into cave dwellings and barracks.

Formation flags stood proudly, with sharp aura rushing into the sky, manifesting the shadows of ten thousand swords in the high sky.

That hidden killing intent made even the current Fang Xing feel a sense of awe.

"Quasi-Rank 4—Master Master Wan Jian Return to Sect Formation!"

"This is the sect's formation master directly pulling out the original formation of the Wan Shouzong Sect and urgently modifying it..."

"The real Master Master Wan Jian Return to Sect Formation is actually a Rank 4 formation, but the spirit vein here is not good, and it was arranged in a hurry. Having a quasi-Rank 4 is already not bad."

A quasi-Rank 4 formation, as long as there are high-level cultivators presiding in the center, resisting Nascent Soul cultivators for a period of time is not a problem.

This is enough to serve as a solid stronghold.

If Zheng State falls into the hands of the demonic path, this place will become a fortress that is difficult to take down.

After his chaotic mess, it can barely be said that the offensive and defensive situation has changed, and he has occupied a certain initiative.

Fang Xing glanced at it and landed in a plaza.

A large number of cultivators retreated in awe.

Not to mention his Heaven Sword Sect robe, just his face alone was known to everyone in Zheng State by now.

Suppressing the Profound Heaven Sect with one sword was nothing.

Picking the Wan Shouzong Sect with one sword, killing one True Dan and three False Jin Dans, his fierce name could simply stop children from crying at night!

'The sect conscripted so many Zheng State cultivators to come, 80% are just cannon fodder...'

Fang Xing was speechless in his heart.

Of course, he also knew that these low-level cultivators, although looking like ants, were actually quite useful in the great war.

For example... they could serve as logistics, mining ore, providing pills and talismans, repairing magic tools, etc...

Furthermore, the elites among them could be trained to form battle formations!

If there were dozens of Qi Condensation cultivators, cooperating tacitly and forming a formation, it was not impossible to rival Foundation Establishment cultivators.

If you gather hundreds or thousands of Qi Condensation, dozens of Foundation Establishment... combining their magic power, it would be Jin Dan level!

'Of course, this kind of blessing is not as convenient as my Virtual Dan... but on the battlefield, there is no need for too fine operations. Once the magic power intensity is reached, just bombarding is enough...'

Fang Xing came to the center of the plaza and saw a huge pitch-black stone tablet.

The stone tablet was set with restrictions, and one could see lines of heavenly materials, earthly treasures, cultivation techniques, pills...

'The carrot in front of the donkey...'

He glanced at it a few times, and a smile appeared on his face as he walked toward the stone houses on the edge of the plaza.

Inside the stone houses, there were False Jin Dan cultivators sitting in town.

"Yu Jianzi?"

Seeing Fang Xing, they immediately came out to welcome him.

Fang Xing glanced at them and found it was Huang Zhishi from the Outer Hall. They were all old acquaintances.

"How much war merit do I have now? I happen to want to exchange for treasures."

He asked.

"This... Yu Jianzi killed many high-level cultivators and investigated the intelligence of Zheng State, making outstanding contributions... I wonder what you want to exchange for?"

If it were a Zheng State cultivator who came, Huang Zhishi could have pushed him back.

For example, rare pills like Foundation Establishment Pills are basically settled after the war.

If you are unlucky, waiting for decades is possible.

But True Inheritor disciples of the main sect are different.

"I saw a 'Six Desires Inner Demon Talisman' on the list, just that one."

Fang Xing waved his hand.

"Yes!"

Huang Zhishi nodded repeatedly, but his heart stirred.

The 'Six Desires Inner Demon Talisman' ranks Rank 3 high-grade, and even Jin Dan cultivators will fall for it if they are not careful.

Furthermore, it leans toward the demonic path and is not an attack or defense type talisman, so its use is very narrow.

I don't know who the Yu Jianzi is planning to secretly harm by exchanging for this talisman?

However, thinking of Fang Xing's fierce name, he definitely didn't dare to ask.
