Apocalypse City.
Imperial Palace, Imperial Study Room.
Emperor Tai'an frowned and asked in a deep voice, "Has the Southern Clan truly been destroyed?"
The Grand Eunuch Zhuo Qing nodded solemnly: "Not a single member of the Southern Imperial Family survived. They were all utterly annihilated, their souls completely lost. They lived in extreme fear. Even the most skilled martial artists above the Xiaoyao Heavenly Realm were wiped out."
Emperor Tai'an continued, "Have you discovered the true identity of the purple-robed demon?"
The Grand Eunuch Zhuo Qing shook his head: "That purple-robed demon is extremely mysterious. It's as if he suddenly appeared. Only people saw him at the beginning. After the Qingfeng Sect incident, none of those who saw him survived."
Emperor Tai'an frowned even more deeply: "How strong is the purple-robed demon? How confident are you in defeating him?"
“Fifty percent,” said the Grand Eunuch Zhuo Qing. “His strength is also at the half-step Divine Travel Realm. The Southern Jue Royal Family also has a Grand Elder at the half-step Divine Travel Realm, but he has disappeared without a trace. He is probably already dead.”
"Only 50%?"
Emperor Tai'an said with a worried expression, "If that purple-robed demon invades Beili, I'm afraid Beili will also suffer a great loss of life."
The Grand Eunuch Zhuo Qing shook his head: "The strength of the Jianghu in Bei Li is far greater than that in Nan Jue. Moreover, everyone is now on high alert. That purple-robed demon will not be so easy to infiltrate."
"These are truly turbulent times!" Emperor Tai'an sighed deeply.
Chapter 18 Divination of Heavenly Secrets: A Demon Lord is Born and a Great Calamity Descends!
Shadow Sect.
As Luo Qingyang listened to the news brought by his master Yi Bu, a look of shock gradually appeared on his face.
"Nan Jue was destroyed?! And by a purple-robed demon?! This is unbelievable!"
Luo Qingyang's eyes flickered, and he said with some shock.
Just over ten days ago, he heard that Ye Dingzhi's master, Yu Shengmo, was challenging masters all over the Southern Secret Arts, fighting Yan Lingxia to become the number one master in the Southern Secret Arts.
But in such a short time, Nan Jue was suddenly wiped out!
And most importantly.
That's the Southern Manual!
One person alone destroyed the entire Nanjue Kingdom!
Hearing this, Yi Wenjun, who was standing to the side, looked even more surprised, and a look of worry appeared on her pretty face.
That purple-robed demon sounded terrifying, and Ye Dingzhi happened to be in Nanjue.
Hopefully, nothing bad will happen to Ye Dingzhi.
otherwise...
Six months from now, no one will come to rescue her.
Yi Bu said in a solemn tone, "This matter has now caused a huge uproar throughout the entire Nine Provinces. Everyone is speculating about who the purple-robed demon is and searching for his whereabouts."
Luo Qingyang asked in confusion, "Master, does that mean there isn't even a trace of the Purple-Robed Demon in the entire Nine Provinces?"
Yi Bu shook his head helplessly: "This purple-robed demon appears and disappears without a trace. He suddenly appeared more than ten days ago. Most of the people who saw him are already dead."
"After Nan Jue was destroyed, he completely disappeared without a trace. Even Bai Xiaotang, the most well-informed organization in the martial arts world, had no news of him."
Luo Qingyang was astonished: "Even the Hundred Knowledge Hall has no news? It seems that this purple-robed demon is truly terrifying."
"One person can destroy a country. That purple-robed demon must be at least at the half-step Divine Realm. There are only a handful of peerless masters in the world. I wonder who he is?"
Yi Bu nodded: "Throughout the entire Nine Provinces, there are only a handful of peerless masters at the half-step Divine Travel Realm. However, I think it's very likely that the Demon Lord only advanced to the half-step Divine Travel Realm after slaughtering the entire Southern Scripture."
at this time.
Yi Wenjun subtly tugged at Luo Qingyang's sleeve.
Luo Qingyang glanced at his junior sister Yi Wenjun and noticed a hint of worry in her eyes. Knowing her best, he quickly understood what she was thinking.
He pondered for a moment and asked, "Master, I heard that Ye Dingzhi is also in Nanjue now. I wonder if there has been any news about Ye Dingzhi recently?"
As soon as these words came out.
Ibn looked at his disciple and daughter with a slightly somber expression.
"how?"
"Even now, you're still fantasizing that Ye Dingzhi will come and steal the bride?"
Yi Wenjun's beautiful eyes welled up with tears as she pleaded, "Father, please tell me..."
[Linglong]
Luo Qingyang couldn't bear to see his junior sister cry, so he immediately knelt down on one knee and pleaded, "Master!"
Upon seeing this, Yi Bu snorted coldly and said, "After Yu Shengmo died, Ye Dingzhi appeared once at the Beili Qianyue Iron Shop, and then disappeared without a trace."
Upon hearing this, Yi Wenjun felt a sense of relief.
It seems that Ye Dingzhi has already entered Beili, and has just managed to avoid that purple-robed demon.
Luo Qingyang was relieved. If anything happened to Ye Dingzhi, he wouldn't come to steal the bride six months later.
My junior sister is really going to marry Xiao Ruojin.
Although his favorite person was his junior sister, he would rather see her happy.
......
Qingcheng Mountain.
A figure, resembling a deity, sat cross-legged, eyes closed in meditation.
His purple Taoist robe billowed without wind, his hair was gray, and he had a wisp of white beard on his chin. He exuded an indescribable air of otherworldly elegance.
Sudden.
This god-like figure suddenly let out a muffled groan, and a trickle of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
"Master!"
Upon seeing this, Zhao Yuzhen exclaimed in alarm.
Then, he quickly went up to help his master up.
"Ahem! It's alright." Lü Suzhen coughed and waved her hand.
"Master, what's wrong?" Zhao Yuzhen asked worriedly.
I have been living in Qingcheng Mountain for more than ten years.
In his heart, his master was the most powerful person in the world, like a god.
But now, Master suddenly vomited blood, something that had never happened before!
Lu Suzhen wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, slowly stood up, and gazed southward.
"Disciple."
Lu Suzhen's expression was extremely serious: "During this period, the celestial phenomena have been chaotic, a giant dog has swallowed the sun, and the south is faintly tinged with blood, as if a great demon has been born."
"I just performed a few divinations, for the sake of the world, and also for you."
"The first hexagram is extremely ominous, the second hexagram is extremely ominous, and the third hexagram... is also an extremely ominous sign."
"I spared no effort to use my life essence to forcibly investigate the will of Heaven, but in the end I violated the secrets of Heaven and suffered a backlash."
Zhao Yuzhen pursed his lips; he had never seen his master look so serious before.
“Master, even if a great calamity befalls the world, we can simply stay here on Mount Qingcheng.”
Zhao Yuzhen had no desire to concern himself with matters down the mountain; he only wanted to stay in Qingcheng Mountain for the rest of his life.
Lü Suzhen sighed and shook her head.
"Although I suffered a backlash, I also gained some understanding of destiny."
"In the destiny of Heaven, a demon will be born, and at that time the whole world will be devastated and desolate."
"Even Qingcheng Mountain is not immune to this custom."
Zhao Yuzhen was taken aback: "Master, you are an immortal mortal. Even if a demon were to emerge in this world, you could kill it single-handedly..."
"Cough, cough, cough!"
Zhao Yuzhen was interrupted by a violent coughing fit halfway through her sentence.
Lu Suzhen looked at the blood she coughed up on her hands and shook her head with a bitter smile.
“Disciple, I forcibly performed divination, which violated the secrets of Heaven. Even though I am a human immortal, I cannot contend with the entire Heavenly Dao.”
"The time I can spend with you is at most... three days."
"Master!!!" Zhao Yuzhen's face was full of disbelief, and tears welled up in her eyes.
He hadn't expected things to happen so suddenly.
Lu Suzhen gently wiped away Zhao Yuzhen's tears and said with a smile, "There's no need to be sad for your teacher."
"I have lived long enough as your teacher."
“My disciple, when you were born, a rosy glow appeared on your face, and a rainbow light was faintly visible between your eyebrows. Then you were taken to Mount Qingcheng and have never stepped down from Mount Qingcheng in the past twenty years. However, you will eventually have to come down the mountain.”
"You possess both the martial and celestial fortunes of Qingcheng Mountain, and have mastered the Great Dragon Elephant Strength and the Boundless Sword Technique. You are the best in Qingcheng Mountain in terms of Taoist skills and swordsmanship in the past hundred years. At the age of 16, you became the youngest Celestial Master since the founding of Qingcheng Mountain."
"It is a blessing for Qingcheng Mountain to have such a gifted person stay here. It is also a regret for Qingcheng Mountain that he cannot leave the mountain. If you were to leave the mountain, you would surely cause a great stir."
"In this world, only you can withstand a fraction of that demon's power."
at this time.
Zhao Yuzhen was already in tears.
Lu Suzhen gently stroked Zhao Yuzhen's head and slowly said, "You are destined to face a calamity. Remember, do not fall into the mortal world."
.......
Three days later.
The former leader of Qingcheng Mountain, Lü Suzhen, has passed away.
Zhao Yuzhen became the youngest sect leader since the founding of Qingcheng Mountain.
Chapter 19 How can a mere mortal list possibly assess a banished immortal?
Just as the Southern Jue was destroyed, the entire Kyushu was filled with panic.
An explosive piece of news spread throughout the entire Kyushu.
this day.
To everyone's surprise, Bai Xiaotang changed the rankings of martial arts in the world, becoming the undisputed champion.
It's worth noting that less than a month has passed since the last top-ranked list was released.
In the past, Baixiaotang's list was usually published every three years, and sometimes once a year.
There has never been such a short and frequent change of rankings.
With the release of the top-ranked list.
The entire Kyushu was thrown into utter turmoil.
Baixiaotang has three lists in total.
These are the Hundred Weapons Ranking, the Fine Jade Ranking, and the Unrivaled Ranking.
The Hundred Weapons Ranking mainly ranks the weapons in the world, the Fine Jade Ranking showcases the most outstanding young figures, and the Peerless Ranking represents the most powerful masters in the martial arts world.
However, this ranking does not include the imperial court, underground rivers, outer heavens, Penglai Island, and other places.
It only ranks the various powerful figures in the martial arts world.
People in the imperial court cannot participate in the rankings, and the Dark River and the Outer Heaven are too mysterious to be calculated.
But this time, to everyone's shock, the list of top players released by Baixiaotang actually included information about the Purple-Robed Demon.
The purple-robed demon is the most watched person in the entire world right now.
Everyone was extremely eager to learn about the purple-robed demon.
This way.
The list of the most outstanding scholars in the Hundred Schools of Knowledge quickly spread throughout the world, attracting everyone's attention.
