Chapter 102: Gathering of the Cultivators

Seven Stars, Dragon Abyss Sword!

The moment these five words were spoken, the entire hall erupted in excitement!

Merchants from all corners of the land had come primarily for this Seven Stars Dragon Abyss Sword! They had all prepared capital amounting to billions for this very sword!

“Oh? We just mentioned the Dragon Abyss Sword, and it’s actually being put up for auction now?”

Upon hearing about the Dragon Abyss Sword...

“How many days has it been?” After burning an incense stick and regaining half of his strength, Chu Feng looked up at Gu Jiu and asked.

With the power of the Titan force and destruction buffs fully activated, the level ten destruction buff increased his attack power tenfold. In one powerful strike with his Divine King Halberd, the chaotic void around him began to collapse on a large scale.

“This is a secret passage to Hogmod Village,” Fred said, pointing to one of the pathways. “There are seven secret passages in total; Ferchi only knows four of them.” He pointed out those four passages one by one.

“Let’s leave this matter here for now. We’ll discuss it again when Hua Manlou and Li Shengnan return,” Yaoyue waved his hand, signaling the others to descend.

A suffocating murderous aura began to spread in all directions. The surrounding temperature plummeted sharply. People felt unparalleled fear and unease, their breaths growing rapid and shallow.

“I’ve brought companions along,” Yuexi snapped his fingers, and Chienzuo Qian, riding Youluo, came running from afar.

“Yes, I try to live a few more years to save more money for my children. Society isn’t what it used to be—without money, you really can’t get by. I have a pension, and the government supports me, but she doesn’t. She’ll have to rely entirely on herself in the future,” the old man said happily.

If it weren’t for the bald youth, he might have tried to swallow a path forward. But with the bald youth present, he was much more cautious.

“Can’t we leave Wuji behind and launch a direct attack?” Ao Chunyi frowned and asked gravely.

To encourage social-run schools and competition among schools, the Xiheng County government allocated funding based not on the number of teachers but on student enrollment. Whether public or private, each additional student brought in more funding, and students had the freedom to choose their schools.

Not bad. Zhuang Wangu also felt it was about time—yes, it was about time. There had been too many battles recently.

Finally, one of the protagonists of this battle, the Northern Peak Heavenly Emperor Zhuang Wangu, arrived. As fate would have it, Mo Fei was about to fall to the ground. Zhuang Wangu teleported instantly to save the gravely injured Mo Fei. At that moment, amid the blinding pressure of the Asura’s blade, Zhuang Wangu charged forward as well.

What if Tai Chi energy was used proactively? Striking at the enemy’s lower stance with the sword chopping down, I bear force on the left while the sword strikes from the right, and vice versa. With these two forces interacting, wouldn’t both power and speed increase? Standing firm, it’s easy to dodge an arrow flying straight on. But if the arrow comes from the front and the target dashes quickly, it becomes much harder.

“Director Zhao, I’ve come to report on the work,” Huang Qingming said respectfully as he approached, head bowed.

In the eyes of the demon tribe, the primordial treasure—the Chaos Bell held aloft by the ancient ruler of a hundred million years ago—the usually stern and solemn Eastern Emperor Taiyi’s prestige surpassed even that of the Demon Emperor Jun. It was the tribe’s totem, the true spiritual anchor in their hearts.

However, no matter how many demons there were, what could they do? At this moment, facing two swords simultaneously, Zhuang Wangu was very serious as he sheathed his blade.

“Heh,” Dai Qi chuckled but no longer argued. Though used to being overbearing, he knew if the person upstairs found out about his words, dealing with him would be as easy as flicking an ant.

“The Divine Lord is merciful, redeeming us to return to our ancestral land. Even if I die, I will have the honor to face my ancestors.”

As for the matter at hand, Zhuang Wangu summoned the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord, instructing him to liaise with the Chan Sect. Naturally, they spoke of the return of the Benevolent Navigator to the human sect. Though the Benevolent Navigator was not a major figure, he was originally from the Jade Void Palace, so it was proper to notify the Jade Void Palace and give them a formal greeting.
