Chapter 395

With Jue Wushen's death, all the Wu Lin people he had bewitched finally woke up.

At this moment, the fastest runners had already reached a spot not far from Li Taibai.

Because he had just unleashed this great move, everything within a li of Li Taibai had already become a scorched wasteland.

The bewitched Wu Lin people happened to be right at the outer edge of the scorched earth.

Looking at the still-smoking scorched earth, which had nearly become a dead zone.

All the Wu Lin people who had come to their senses could not help but feel their scalps go numb.

What on earth had just happened? How had they almost carelessly lost their lives?

"Do you still want to enter the War God Palace?"

Li Taibai wore a smile on his face, as refreshing as a spring breeze.

But in the eyes of every Wu Lin person present, that smile was almost no different from the Grim Reaper.

Jue Wushen's strength alone could be glimpsed from the Ghost Luo Sha under his command.

Yet even such a powerful expert couldn't take even half a move.

Did people like themselves truly have the right to pass Li Taibai and enter this War God Palace?

Moreover, Li Taibai was only the Fifth Dragon Head; above him were still the Four Great Dragon Heads.

Especially Ximen Wudi, the number one expert of the Nine Provinces' forbidden list, who had struck fear into countless experts.

Thinking of this, all the Wu Lin people present shook their heads vigorously, like a rattle-drum.

"Fifth Dragon Head is joking. This treasure and blessed land should naturally belong to the worthy."

"In all the Wu Lin across the Nine Provinces, what force is more qualified than the Qinglong Society to obtain this War God Palace?"

"Exactly, exactly! The Qinglong Society should rightfully obtain the War God Palace. Whoever disagrees, I, Dadao Wansan, will be the first to disagree!"

"I, the Soul-Chasing Sword, am the second…"

"I'm the third…"

"Fourth…"

For a moment, across the entire plain, the cries supporting the Qinglong Society rose one after another.

Anyone who didn't know better, seeing this, might think the Qinglong Society truly had the hearts of these people.

The people of the Three Great Imperial Courts saw this and could not help but curl their lips.

But in the end, they didn't dare say much more.

In truth, all three houses wanted to redirect the trouble elsewhere; none dared to start a war with the Qinglong Society on their own without the approval of the Three Great Emperors.

After all, setting aside Ximen Wudi, just look at the two from the Qinglong Society right before their eyes.

Li Taibai, who had obliterated Jue Wushen in a single move without leaving even scraps, and Di Shitian, whose depth was unfathomable and yet impossible to see through.

And who knew whether there were still others hidden in the shadows!

The experts of the Three Great Imperial Courts present, aside from the Living Buddha of Lotus and Shang Yang, all asked themselves whether they could not achieve what Li Taibai had done—killing Jue Wushen in one move.

"Alright, since you all have no objections, then our Qinglong Society will accept the War God Palace."

Li Taibai had thoroughly enjoyed his fill of showing off before the crowd this time, and after receiving endless flattery, he was practically floating as he walked.

Without even glancing at the grim-faced people of the Three Great Imperial Courts, he led Di Shitian, turned, and entered the War God Palace.

"Living Buddha, are we truly going to give up just like that?"

Long Xiang Seng was unwilling to accept it.

"That's right! The Khan is determined to obtain the War God Palace, and this time sent the four of us…"

Monk Huanxi could not help but add fuel to the fire.

Suddenly, a faint ripple stirred before the War God Palace—ordinary people naturally could not detect it.

But the Living Buddha of Lotus naturally could.

He twirled his fingers and pointed as he spoke,

"Haven't you received the news?"

"Earlier, the Qinglong Society's Third Dragon Head Senior Dugu Qiubai, together with Yunzhou's Sword Saint Senior Dugu Jian, paid a joint visit to the Zhoutianxia Society."

"These two were only about at the Supreme Mythical Realm, yet they actually forced Xiong Ba and a mysterious expert to flee in defeat."

"Because of this, the Tianxia Society's reputation plummeted, and it could no longer hold its position as hegemon of Yunzhou. Surely you've seen this news?"

"Ah? What of it?"

Monk Naomo, whose injuries had not yet healed, asked blankly.

"Idiot!"

"These two had ordinary cultivation, yet they could force a regional hegemon to flee—clearly they had other trump cards."

"I heard the Khan say that Senior Dugu Qiubai apparently used a forbidden technique, and it nearly caused Xiong Ba and the other to perish at the Tianxia Society."

The Living Buddha of Lotus could not help but curse out loud.

"That exaggerated?"

The three Long Xiang monks could not help but stare in astonishment.

Although a Supreme Mythical Realm expert was not invincible, each of them had life-preserving means, let alone Xiong Ba, a veteran Supreme Mythical Realm expert.

Yet Xiong Ba had nearly perished because of it. Just what technique had Senior Dugu Qiubai used?

"Enough! Since the Third Dragon Head has such a trump card, do you think the Fifth Dragon Head has none?"

"Moreover, if my guess is correct, another Dragon Head has just followed Li Taibai into the War God Palace."

"Two Dragon Heads…"

The three Long Xiang monks no longer dared to make a peep, and could only respond in silence.

On the other side, the situations in Great Qin and Great Tang were much the same.

Watching the War God Hall slowly close as the time limit expired, they all sighed in unison, then led their subordinates and turned back.

The moment Li Taibai and his two companions entered the War God Hall, the Heavenly Dao Golden List in the void trembled slightly.

Bursting forth with resplendent light.

It lasted only an instant.

Yet it drew the attention of the world.

A few breaths later, as the Jin Guang faded.

Lines of text slowly reappeared.

【Nine Provinces Combat Power Ceiling Board — (Tied) Thirtieth Place: Xie Tiao, Cultivation: Half-step Mythical.】

【Identity: First Sect Master of the Great Sui Demonic Path's Xieji Sect, the Demonic Path's inaugural Evil Emperor!】

【Xie Tiao was born into the noble Xie clan, a descendant of Xie Xuan's branch, gifted with extraordinary intelligence from childhood, cultivating the three teachings of Confucianism, Daoism, and Buddhism alike.】

【Before the age of thirty, he had never practiced martial arts】

【Once, while wandering mountains and waters, he stumbled into an ancient tomb and obtained a scroll of silk】

【This book was precisely the work compiled by "Heavenly Demon" Cang Qu from the rarest texts gathered across the realm, containing the original prototypes of the martial arts of the Momenliang Sect's Six Paths】

【When Xie Tiao first encountered this book and set foot upon the martial path, his progress changed several times in a single day.】

【In merely one month, he advanced from an ordinary mortal to the Innate Realm】

【At that time, moved by an insight in his heart, he came to White Horse Temple and chanced upon the Fomen master Di Ni.】

【He actually took the essence of the silk scroll to study with Di Ni, and discussed it with her.】

【Di Ni observed it, silently committing it to memory, yet deliberately misled Xie Tiao, saying the book was of the Xie Sect and could never achieve the Great Dao.】

【Afterward, she instead used this book as a basis to create the "Pudu Cihang" and the "Supreme Wisdom Scripture"】

【Xie Tiao, however, was not beguiled by her, and instead kept excavating various ancient tombs, hoping to fully master what was recorded in the silk scroll】

【Ultimately, through painstaking solitary effort, he finally created the demonic path's supreme mental art, the "Dao Heart Demon Planting Great Law"】

【His realm likewise soared, until he reached the Half-step Mythical Realm】

【Heavenly Dao Evaluation: Born of noble lineage, naturally broad-minded; pity that he was confined by the patterns of his predecessors, and in the end never walked out his own Dao】

【Heavenly Dao Reward: Immortal-grade technique "Demonic Heart Dao Planting Art." If combined with the "Dao Heart Demon Planting Great Law" for joint comprehension, one may perhaps obtain a supreme divine art】.

235 — Fastest record of falling off the board!

【Nine Provinces Combat Power Ceiling Board — (Tied) Thirtieth Place: Lord Chuan Ying, Cultivation: Early Mythical.】

【Identity: Originally the Chief Guardian National Offering of the Great Sui Imperial Court, now serving under the Qinglong Society】

【Lord Chuan Ying was endowed with extraordinary spirit from youth, disinclined to play and gather with other children】

【He would often venture alone into the Shenshan, returning only after several days】
