He begins by being granted the title of King of Qin and builds the supreme immortal court of the Gre

"General Li, you're too kind."

"Since I ascended from the lower realm, I was fortunate enough to be valued by General Li and given the position of commander. It is because of the cultivation resources in the city that I have the strength I have today."

Facing Li Yun, Xiao Ling also adopted an extremely gentle attitude.

After all, he had only just ascended from the lower realm, and his strength had inexplicably increased too quickly, which would inevitably arouse suspicion among those who were interested.

However, I happened to obtain some cultivation resources from Tianyun City, which I can use to explain the reason for my strength improvement.

For those with extraordinary talent in the lower realms to achieve such a rapid improvement, while extremely difficult, is not impossible.

as predicted.

Upon hearing Xiao Ling's words, Li Yun did not say anything more.

The other party smiled and said, "Cultivation resources are secondary; the main reason is that Fellow Daoist Xiao himself is extraordinary."

He was very clear about Xiao Ling's cultivation resources.

Compared to other ascendants, this person received ten times the cultivation resources granted by City Lord Su.

Given such abundant cultivation resources, it's not impossible for the opponent to have such a significant improvement in strength.

Whether in the lower realm or in the divine realm, there are indeed some monstrous martial arts beings whose combat power far surpasses that of beings at the same level.

soon.

After the bandit captain was killed, the remaining bandits fled in panic one after another.

The remaining soldiers of Tianyun City under Zhang Huai's command, along with the dozens of ascendants, also gradually gathered there.

At this moment.

Countless eyes converged on Xiao Ling.

The expressions on everyone's faces as they looked at Xiao Ling revealed a mixture of shock and excitement.

The bandits they faced in this battle were quite strong. If it weren't for Xiao Ling's extraordinary prowess, Tianyun City would likely have suffered considerable losses.

We are now in a dangerous situation.

After a brief conversation with Xiao Ling, Li Yun glanced around at the surrounding crowd.

"We've all gathered here to rest for a while before continuing our operations."

Li Yun called out to the group.

The group dispersed to different places and then sat down to rest.

Although they won a great victory, they only faced a portion of the bandits' forces, and they will inevitably continue to fight against the bandits in the future.

Xiao Ling and Li Yun sat on the ground.

He glanced around and saw the scene was a complete mess.

Although it was only a brief exchange, the bandits still managed to inflict some losses on Tianyun City.

among them.

The Tianyun City side lost more than ten soldiers, while the Ascended side lost more than twenty.

no way.

Within the same realm, these Heavenly Bandits, having always resided in the God Realm, are stronger than those who ascend from the lower realms in terms of power.

Furthermore, some of the ascended beings were once invincible in the lower realms and naturally looked down on these heavenly bandits from the divine realm, thus underestimating their enemies and suffering danger.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Ling couldn't help but think of the powerful figures from the New Heaven Realm who had ascended to the God Realm with him.

Especially the immortals and gods who were originally under the command of the Great Xia Immortal Dynasty.

This time, after ascending to the realm of gods, I don't know why I was separated from them in different places, and I have no idea what their current situation is.

Have you also encountered situations like Tianyun City, where you were sent to deal with the bandits?

The immortals and gods of the Great Xia who came to this divine realm with him were only a few dozen people. These were the foundation for his future development in the divine realm, and losing even one of them would be a huge loss.

Fortunately.

Before he decided to ascend to the God Realm, he used various resources and the power of the Heavenly Realm's origin to significantly enhance the strength of all the immortals and gods of the Great Xia Dynasty.

Almost all of them have been elevated to the legendary level of the Saint Realm, and they have even condensed and created their own star power.

With such strength, even if one ascends to the realm of gods, this power is far beyond what ordinary ascendants can match. Even in the realm of gods, one would possess a certain degree of self-defense and resistance.

at this time.

Xiao Ling suddenly felt something strange in his body.

After careful perception, he clearly noticed a faint aura of bloodlust emanating from his body.

A thought came to my mind.

A blood-red light slowly emerged from the sky above.

If one did not possess sufficient strength, it would be difficult to perceive this bloodthirsty aura.

"This is......"

Xiao Ling frowned slightly, then looked at Li Yun beside him.

The latter also sensed the unusual aura that had suddenly appeared on Xiao Ling's body.

"It's malevolent energy!"

Li Yun's expression was extremely solemn as he said, "This is a method controlled by the Heavenly Bandits, specifically used to track martial arts beings."

"It must be that bandit captain who just died. In his dying moments, he used a special method controlled by the bandits to plant this murderous aura in Fellow Daoist Xiao!"

malevolent energy?

Xiao Ling sensed the murderous aura that Li Yun had mentioned. He hadn't expected that the bandit captain had silently laid such a trap for him when he died.

Xiao Ling immediately took action, attempting to remove the malevolent energy clinging to his body.

This thing is not a good thing.

If it continues to exist, it will undoubtedly allow the bandits to constantly search for and track its movements.

Currently, he has no idea what kind of strength this bandit is.

With this malevolent aura attached to him, he would undoubtedly become a sitting duck for the bandits.

A force was activated, gradually eroding and removing the malevolent energy attached to the body.

"Fellow Daoist Xiao, this evil energy entering the body is not so easy to eliminate."

Seeing Xiao Ling deep in thought, Li Yun reminded him, "This evil aura is a technique created by a powerful member of the Heavenly Bandit Organization. Anyone who comes into contact with it will only be able to dissipate on its own after eighty-one days."

"only......"

Xiao Ling asked curiously, "But what?"

"However, during these eighty-one days, those who are afflicted by the evil energy will be subjected to endless attacks from powerful members of the Heavenly Bandits."

As he spoke, Li Yun looked at Xiao Ling with a solemn expression.

He had dealt with the bandits several times, and there were also powerful figures in Tianyun City who had been affected by the bandits' evil aura and suffered endless attacks from them.

Few of these martial artists who were attacked were able to escape.

Xiao Ling: "..."

According to the other party, he had undoubtedly received a "hunting gift" upon first entering the realm of gods?

This luck is simply unbelievable.

"A malevolent aura..."

Xiao Ling muttered to himself as he began to unleash his power.

Seeing this, Li Yun, who was standing nearby, wanted to speak up and comfort him.

"Fellow Daoist Xiao, this murderous aura is difficult to..."

Before Li Yun could finish speaking...

bang!!!

The malevolent energy attached to Xiao Ling's body suddenly exploded.
