After being demoted, my 300,000-strong army trampled the imperial city!

Li Zhou led Qin Hao and Ling Xue on a tour of Piaoyu Mountain, introducing scenic spots and important locations within the sect.

Li Zhou was an open-minded person with extraordinary manners and speech. Moreover, he was also a Martial Emperor. Qin Hao and Ling Xue had a good impression of him.

"The outer sect disciples have limited talent and often go down the mountain to cause trouble. The outer sect masters are often in seclusion and therefore neglect to discipline them. I hope you two will not take offense."

"It's alright, they've already paid the price."

As Qin Hao was speaking, a group of disciples blocked his way.

This group of people came specifically after hearing about what happened down the mountain. Their request was simple: the two of them had to fight to see if they were qualified to be honored guests.

Ling Xue coldly replied, "Do you really think my brother and I are afraid of you? If you want to fight, then fight!"

Qin Hao nodded excitedly. He loved fighting the most, and this would be a good way to test the difference between the two of them and the core disciples of this sect.

Seeing that the two were interested, Li Zhou led everyone to the martial arts arena.

Before the battle began, Li Zhou sent a telepathic message to several disciples with decent cultivation levels, instructing them to exercise restraint and not bring disaster upon the sect.

"Senior brother, we have our own plans. At this moment, we are only trying to bring glory to our sect. Otherwise, others will think we are weak and easy to bully."

"Indeed, this time we must let these two know how powerful we are."

The disciples discussed among themselves, their eyes filled with intense indignation.

Qin Hao was the first to step onto the stage, proudly declaring, "Martial Emperors are welcome to participate."

"I'll meet you!"

One of the Martial Empresses appeared on stage in the later stages of her reign. She was one of the top-ranked core disciples, who cultivated the Piaoyu Mountain Sacred Scripture and was also among the best in the art of attack.

Qin Hao was not afraid of him. He waved his hand as if calling a cat or dog, which enraged the other party, who then attacked.

The battle was evenly matched, but as time went on, Qin Hao suddenly suppressed his opponent with a flash of killing intent, causing the disciples watching to gasp in surprise.

Qin Hao, with his special bloodline deliberately chosen by Chen Futu, also cultivates the Devouring Heaven Blood Demon Technique. He is not someone an ordinary Martial Emperor can easily mess with.

With a loud bang, the disciple was punched off the martial arts stage, coughing up blood and weakening.

Ling Xue smiled faintly, "As expected of the senior brother."

My senior brother has only been cultivating for half a year, yet he has grown from an ordinary person to a Martial Emperor. Even if she were to fight him with her Martial Venerable cultivation, she might not be a match for him when he is fully wielding the Blood Demon Technique, let alone these disciples.

"continue."

Qin Hao remained calm and composed, and continued to beckon with his hand.

The disciples of the Piaoyu Sect were furious. One after another, they went up on stage and were defeated one after another.

No one noticed that Qin Hao was subtly plundering their blood essence, and his cultivation level was slowly rising during the battle.

This is why Chen Futu said that the Devouring Blood Demon Technique was too overpowered. As long as the opponent was injured, his blood energy would be drawn to repair and replenish the true essence consumed. Fortunately, they were guests in the Piaoyu Sect, and Qin Hao did not go too far, otherwise these disciples would have been drained dry.

"Is this all the strength your Raindrop Sect has?"

Following Chen Futu's side, Qin Hao also learned to be assertive. His gaze swept over the disciples, who gritted their teeth in frustration but were helpless.

Because they really couldn't beat Qin Hao.

Li Zhou shook his head and sighed. Qin Hao was too powerful. He hadn't suffered any damage in the series of battles. Unless a true disciple came.

The true master possesses the strength of a Martial Venerable, and if he were to make a move, it would be suspected of bullying the weak.

Qin Hao said, "It's alright. Even if the core disciples come, we can still fight."

"Senior brother, let me do it."

Ling Xue jumped onto the martial arts stage and transmitted her voice, "Senior Brother is cultivating the Devouring Heaven Blood Demon Art. If he fights with a Martial Venerable, he will inevitably be exposed. Our purpose in coming here is only to go to Giant Wood City. We must not cause any more trouble."

Qin Hao thought for a moment and then agreed: "Junior sister, teach their true disciples a lesson and let them know how powerful we are."

"Don't worry, senior brother, I'll take care of everything."

Ling Xuexiu has just begun to grasp the basics of the Great Grade Azure Lotus Technique, and her swordplay and killing prowess are extremely impressive. It's a good time to test her combat effectiveness against her peers.

"Daring to challenge the true teachings, how arrogant!"

A man in his thirties came up on stage. He was Li Yuan, Li Zhou's cousin and a true disciple.

Although this person is only at the mid-stage of Martial Venerable, his combat strength is far beyond that of ordinary core disciples.

Ling Xue didn't say much. She drew her sword, and her true energy bloomed like a blue lotus, strange and beautiful. Just one glance was enough to tell that this kind of temperament was a technique above the Saintly Path.

"kill!"

Li Yuan launched an attack, and Ling Xue swung her sword, the illusory image of a green lotus radiating light.

The two figures moved in a dazzling display.

One of them cultivated the Emperor's Law, while the other was a true disciple. They were evenly matched in the first half, but in the second half, Ling Xue's Azure Lotus Shadow Killing Technique left Li Yuan riddled with holes.

"So strong!"

Li Yuan was defeated, having lasted a total of twenty moves.

"Concession."

Ling Xue remained as indifferent as ever, her lotus-like appearance captivating all who beheld her.

Li Yuan blushed as he looked at her, suddenly realizing that the woman in front of him was even more beautiful than his fellow disciples in the true lineage.

“Junior Sister Ling Xue’s cultivation is exceptionally strong; I am no match for her.” Li Yuan clasped his hands in a fist salute and stepped down from the martial arts stage.

Seeing this scene, the disciples watching the battle were all dejected.

Even the true disciples have been defeated; Ling Xue's talent is probably comparable to the unparalleled prodigies of those super powers in Zhongzhou.

Some elders who were watching from the shadows were embarrassed and wanted to say something, but Jia Hongshan stopped them in the end.

Qin Shao, suspected to be a descendant of the Emperor's blood, went out to travel, and the disciples he took in were naturally unparalleled geniuses. The defeat of the Piaoyu Sect disciples was not unjust, unless a genius of an equally super power intervened to fight against them.

In the following days, disciples continued to challenge Qin Hao and Ling Xue. Even those who forcibly raised their cultivation level by taking forbidden pills could not defeat them at the same cultivation level.

Gradually, no one dared to challenge it anymore.

Qin Hao and Ling Xue gained a lot from their constant sparring and battles, especially Qin Hao, who entered the mid-stage of Martial Emperor after subtly absorbing various kinds of blood energy.

It's a pity that the saints and saint kings who died at the foot of the mountain have too much blood energy to absorb yet, otherwise their cultivation could have increased even more.

On his last night at the Piaoyu Sect, Jia Hongshan found Chen Futu and tried to establish a relationship by offering the Piaoyu Mountain's secret techniques. Chen Futu refused, as these techniques were only at the Saint level and contained far too many secret techniques in the Nameless Stele.

The two disciples under his seat cultivate the Devouring Blood Demon Art, which can be upgraded, and the Emperor-level Great Grade Azure Lotus Technique. Cultivating other holy temples would be a waste of time.

"I wonder what Mr. Qin desires?"

Jia Hongshan was willing to go all out for the future of Piaoyu Sect. As long as Chen Futu asked, he would do whatever it took, no matter how difficult it was.

Chen Futu said, "Since the Grand Elder is so willing to make friends, I won't stand on ceremony with you. Help me collect some rare medicinal herbs so I can refine pills. Next time we meet, we'll be friends."

"Okay, I'll take out some stock for Mr. Qin right away."

Before long, Jia Hongshan delivered many rare medicines, including precious items that could be used to refine holy pills.

Finally, Jia Hongshan said awkwardly, "I wonder if you could refine an elixir to prolong life? My sect's patriarch is very old..."

"Okay, consider these medicinal herbs as payment."

Chen Futu casually put the medicinal herbs into his system space, and the other party was overjoyed upon hearing this.

And so, Chen Futu made a small promise that he would have someone deliver the pills to Piaoyu Sect in the future.
