Chapter 84

However, envy is just envy.

Right now, the Green Dragon Society had just shown its hand.

Its momentum was at its peak, second to none.

Who would dare to pull teeth from a tiger's mouth?!

"Sword Heart? Mythical Realm-Breaking Pill?"

"Hmm, this time the Heavenly Dao reward is actually quite reliable."

Withdrawing his gaze from the void,

Ximen Wudi muttered to himself.

His expression appeared quite satisfied.

The reason he said this

was mainly because he suddenly remembered that fellow Li Taibai.

He clearly made it to fifth place,

but what was the result?

The first two rewards were actually useless things like Longevity Pills and "Transcendent Immortal" temperament!

He truly had an obsession with longevity and showing off in front of others carved into his bones!

Otherwise,

if he had been rewarded with something like a Sword Heart or Dao Heart, wouldn't that have been better?!

After grumbling silently for a moment,

suddenly,

Ximen Wudi frowned.

He subconsciously turned his head to gaze toward the northwest.

A ripple flashed through his deep and indifferent eyes.

The corners of his mouth curled into a faint arc.

Another continent, it's getting closer!

The complete Nine Provinces are right before my eyes!

Perhaps, in less than half a month or a month,

the Age of Great Contention will arrive!!

Thinking of this,

Ximen Wudi felt his blood boiling for the first time in a long while.

His fighting spirit was soaring.

But it didn't last long.

He returned to calm.

He composed his expression and gave an order in a measured tone.

"Pass down the order."

"Accelerate the progress in Great Sui and Great Han!"

"We must unify these two great empires before the other continent returns!"

"Additionally, we can begin arranging matters for Great Ming."

"As for the date, let's set it for the fifteenth of this month!"

"As for Great Song and Great Qing, the hidden pieces we planted can also be activated!"

His voice was very soft,

but the slaughter and blood it contained

were absolutely immeasurable!

Yet, Ximen Wudi felt not the slightest ripple.

In fact,

let alone a change in expression,

even his pupils merely shifted to an indifference that viewed life as nothing more than blades of grass!

To him,

as long as the goal could be achieved,

it didn't matter if countless people died!

Even if some of these people were innocent!

"We obey the Great Dragon Head's command!"

From the shadows,

a cold voice responded.

Great Ming, Ten Thousand Plum Blossom Villa.

"The Five Realms of the Sword?"

"Heh~"

"My sword does not need these flashy things!"

Staring coldly at the Heavenly Dao Golden List in the void,

Ximen Chuixue's voice was indifferent.

His face was filled with an expression of complete unconcern.

After speaking,

he slowly drew the black-sheathed sword from his waist.

He reached out and gently stroked the blade.

He turned his head to look at the distant Lanying.

His gaze shifted several times,

and in the end, it turned into determination.

He sheathed his sword.

He left the villa without looking back.

That white-clad figure, as pure as snow,

looked so cold, so heartless!

"He... ultimately chose the sword."

As the figure disappeared,

in the distance,

Sun Xiuqing's delicate body swayed slightly.

She whispered in a dejected tone.

Two lines of clear tears slowly slid down her cheeks.

Her beautiful eyes were filled with sorrow.

"The Five Realms of the Sword?"

"Does that mean the blade also has five realms? Or perhaps even more?!"

Deep in the bamboo forest,

a lame youth in black whispered to himself.

A flash of determination crossed his pale face.

Following this, his hands moved slightly, and he suddenly drew his blade.

He repeated the most basic moves over and over again.

One slash... one slash... another slash...

As if he did not know the meaning of fatigue.

Only the continuous sound of the blade breaking through the air remained in the bamboo forest. ===== CHAPTER 164 =====

Great Sui, Lingnan.

Inside the Blade-Grinding Hall.

Staring blankly at the content on the Heavenly Dao Golden List,

Song Que could not help but reveal a bitter smile.

"Is this the terror of a top-tier expert?"

As a master of the blade,

one could even say he was one of the few good blade users on the Nine Provinces Continent.

He had always prided himself on his extraordinary talent.

But at this moment,

he was still somewhat shaken by Dugu Qiubai.

Compared to him,

his own so-called Nine Blades of Heaven-Asking were like child's play.

Let alone the realms of the blade, he hadn't even walked his own path clearly yet!

If he hadn't sat in the Blade-Grinding Hall for many years,

his state of mind would have been honed to a level far beyond what it once was,

and he might have already had his Dao heart shaken by this!

Great Qin, Xianyang Palace.

"The Green Dragon Society has such a figure?"

Gazing at the content on the Heavenly Dao Golden List,

Ying Zheng frowned slightly.

As an emperor of great ambition and strategy,

his perspective and vision had always been more far-reaching than ordinary people.

Therefore,

he could naturally see the terror of Dugu Qiubai at a glance!

Looking through the history of the Nine Provinces,

one must ask,

which figure who acts like a founding patriarch is a simple existence?

Most importantly,

this was only the Third Dragon Head!!

Above him, besides Ximen Wudi,

there was also the Second Dragon Head of the Green Dragon Society!

One can imagine,

if the Fifth, Fourth, and Third Dragon Heads were already this terrifying,

then what kind of terrifying and majestic existence must the Second Dragon Head be, who stands above them?!

What kind of terrifying and towering existence must that be?!!

Thinking of this,

Ying Zheng's brow furrowed even deeper.

He did not forget to ask aloud,

"Still no news of the Green Dragon Society?"

"This subordinate is incompetent! I beg Your Majesty to punish me!"

Hearing this,

Zhang Han fell to his knees with a thud.

He lowered his head,

and cold sweat instantly broke out on his forehead.

In truth, he was anxious too,

but the key problem was

that the Green Dragon Society hid itself far too deeply.

Even if they increased their efforts,

the Nine Provinces Continent was vast.

Let alone the Black Ice Terrace,

even if there were ten times as many, it would still not be enough!

"Enough, this matter is not your fault."

Having thought of this as well,

Ying Zheng waved his hand, not holding it against him.

He knew

that since Ximen Wudi had always kept the Green Dragon Society hidden from the world,

it meant his plans were not small.

Thus,

how could they be found so easily?

If it were truly that simple,

would the Green Dragon Society still be as terrifying as it is now?!

Would he still have any need to be this wary?!

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Zhang Han wiped away his cold sweat, feeling a sense of relief in his heart.

"Although the fault is not yours, this matter must be followed up by you continuously!"

"Once there is the slightest news of the Green Dragon Society,"

"I hope to see it on my dragon desk!"

Seeming to think of something,

Ying Zheng's majestic face was filled with seriousness.

His tiger-like eyes were even somewhat soul-stirring!

"Yes!"

Zhang Han nodded heavily.

Great Yuan, Imperial City.

"Zhang Sanfeng, Zhang Daoling, Li Taibai, Xiaoyaozi, and now Dugu Qiubai."

"It seems that this remaining Second Dragon Head is likely no simple character either!"

Staring intently at the Heavenly Dao Golden List in the void,

Temujin's eyes flashed with brilliance as he sighed.

The shock in his heart regarding Dugu Qiubai

was no less than Ying Zheng's.

Perhaps even more!

It was just that he hadn't shown it.

"This person's cultivation is truly terrifying!"

Beside him, the National Preceptor Ba Shiba could not help but exclaim.

His originally solemn and grave old face

was now filled with heaviness.

As someone who had the fortune of having fought Ximen Wudi,

although he dared not speak recklessly about the other's strength,
