Imperial henchmen? Never been struck by the sword of the Six Doors (a secret police agency).

Overlord moved swiftly, arriving directly at the most powerful sect in Jiangdong.

Within the Jianmen Pass of the River.

The appearance of the Overlord immediately alarmed the sect leader and elders of the area.

"Who is coming?!"

The sect leader was startled and quickly came out of the main hall.

The other elders arrived at the same time.

"Wenwu, not bad."

"A few old fogies, have one foot already in Rongji?"

"That's not bad, there's still some time before he's buried."

The overlord glanced at the rest of the group, his tone disdainful.

Upon hearing this, several of the older elders turned ashen with anger.

Even though they are martial artists, they avoid words like "old man" and "death".

Because they truly have no hope of breaking through, they are even more reluctant to hear about these things.

There are also differences between martial artists.

Not everyone is like Qin Qiong, who enjoys risking his life.

"This venerable one..."

The sect leader took a deep breath and looked at the Overlord.

No matter what, he is still a Martial Venerable.

They can't afford to offend the Martial Venerable.

Don't be fooled by how the Martial Venerables look like quails in front of the current Prince An.

As long as one stays away from those ancient secret realms, a Martial Venerable can live a very comfortable life.

Even if they get close, they will still get a share of the opportunities.

Outside the gates of major martial arts sects, in small towns like Bianyun City back then, Guanshan remained a dominant force.

Of course, there are many geniuses now. Although Guanshan can still act as a local tyrant, if he breaks the law and violates discipline, he will die when the Six Doors come to his door to kill him.

Not to mention that the chief constables of each region have all become much stronger.

"I am the Overlord, and I have come today to take you under my control."

"Follow me, conquer Jiangdong, and then we will share the resources with you."

"What's so difficult about getting promoted and integrating yourself into the team?"

The overlord looked at the group of people in front of him and waved his hand.

Silence, only a deathly silence.

The elders were either shocked, thoughtful, or greedy.

Upon hearing this, the sect leader looked at the Overlord with the eyes of someone looking at a madman.

However, they had a strange feeling that this matter had a chance.

If you ask them why, they will only answer with two words.

Overlord.

The title of Overlord is the best reason.

This is the biggest difference between martial arts sects and aristocratic families.

Powerful families will not blindly trust someone just because of their reputation.

They will assess the situation and maximize the benefits for their own family.

As for the martial arts sects, upon hearing the words "Overlord," most of them began to wonder if they could actually do it.

The title of Overlord reassured them.

This guy is incredibly skilled in combat.

For them, in martial arts, stagnation means regression.

There's such a great opportunity right now, it seems like we should take it?

Even if they fail, they can shirk responsibility and say that they were held hostage by the tyrant.

The Jianghe Sword Sect is currently in such a situation.

Most of the elders were getting restless.

In their view, this was indeed a good opportunity.

Obtain the resources, then make a breakthrough.

Of course, the reason why the elders of Jianghe Sword Sect dared to make this decision was because the dynasty had not taken action for too long.

Under the constraints of the Six Doors, the old martial arts sects knew just how terrifying the Six Doors were, and therefore behaved themselves.

Those who weren't honest are all dead now.

The emerging sects fill the void left by these unruly sects.

Furthermore, it has been a long time since the last large-scale purge of martial arts sects by the Six Doors.

Now, this emerging force has less awe for the Six Doors.

More than anything, people were dissatisfied.

Right now, there is an opportunity to become stronger, an opportunity that is rare and hard to come by.

If the Xuanyuan clan knew what these people were thinking, they would only laugh.

A martial artist's motto is "If you don't advance, you retreat," which serves as a reminder and a means to hone one's skills.

Instead of becoming a gambler.

The only consequence of becoming a gambler is death.

"You are responsible for summoning the leaders of other sects to come and pay homage to me."

Seeing that everyone was interested, the Overlord slowly landed and entered the main hall.

The other elders looked at each other in dismay.

Then, they scattered in all directions.

The more people you recruit, the more power you'll have.

The sect leader quickly followed suit and began to flatter the overlord.

The overlord smiled smugly.

Although he had died once, it had made him much more clear-headed.

But his inherent vanity and arrogance haven't diminished much.

......

The Jianghe Sword Sect acted swiftly, and other emerging sects followed suit one after another after learning of the matter.

In their view, this was indeed a rare opportunity.

Soon, many emerging martial arts sects, and even some older martial arts sects, joined the Overlord's ranks.

Fang Xuanlin always felt that people in the martial arts world were brainless, and that he was influenced by these people.

The Overlord acted swiftly, and within three days he had trained the sect's disciples into battle-hardened elites.

Disciples of sects are easier to train than children from respectable families.

Of course, it's not without its drawbacks.

They were not as fearless as the army trained by Bai Qi.

They were indeed strong, but once their morale collapsed, their defeat was more than a hundred times faster than that of ordinary soldiers.

Once at a disadvantage, one can use their lightness skill to escape immediately.

You can count on them when things are going well, but don't expect them to help you in tough battles.

This is also why the overlord preferred daughters from respectable families.

However, with the Hegemon personally leading his troops, winning a battle with an easy advantage is not a problem.

However, the overlord soon became frustrated.

The Six Doors had already evacuated the people and local officials.

The Six Doors knew that, from now on, no one who joined the Overlord's ranks would escape unscathed.

Let Prince An massacre Jiangdong first, then they can take care of the aftermath.

Soon, the army led by the Overlord occupied one empty city after another.

The local martial arts sects were all in high spirits, believing that the Overlord could truly rival the imperial dynasty.

The other prominent families simply followed the Six Doors.

Before leaving, he even fabricated the illusion that he was being coerced by the Six Doors.

This infuriated the Overlord.

He had no doubts; he was only thinking about reclaiming the aristocratic family.

The overlord then rested and reorganized his troops, intending to cross the river directly and then advance westward.

At this moment, the morale of the people of Jiangdong was high.

They were completely unaware that a pale golden aura flashed by.

The earth veins are satisfied with the current situation.

From the perspective of the Earth Vein, it is necessary to have Prince An take action again to deter all sides of the world.

At the same time, the Overlord's True Essence Martial Arts can help the opponent advance further in martial arts.

The former is just incidental, while the latter is of utmost importance.

These brainless new sects are no different from the foreign ones.

Even when foreign nations knew how powerful the dynasty was, they still provoked us in various ways.

Only by carrying out destruction from time to time can others understand why a dynasty is a dynasty.

......

Underworld, Houtu Palace

At this moment, Prince An's aura became as deep and boundless as the ocean, emanating a heavy, profound, and serene aura from within.

Suddenly, Prince An slowly opened his eyes.

This time, golden veins surged in his eyes.

As the earth's veins surged, the mountains and rivers of the world flowed and transformed.

The Five Sacred Mountains, Youdu, and Immortal Mountain flashed by, and finally the true meaning returned to Prince An's body.

The oppressive feeling brought by the powerful true meaning and artistic conception gradually subsided.

Li Junsu exhaled a breath of stale air, looked at Houtu, and his eyes showed a hint of admiration.

He has initially grasped the true meaning of mountains and rivers, and plans to fully absorb it later.

The best way to absorb it is through battle, honing oneself while comprehending its true meaning.

This profound meaning is far too magnificent and powerful.

If we only rely on seclusion, it will take at least a year and a half to process it.

This was even after he had taken the elixir that Shennong had specially prepared for him.

Without the aid of elixirs to enhance one's comprehension, it would take at least three to five years to grasp this true meaning.

Those born with innate spirituality are truly favored by heaven and earth.

"Senior, I'm busy with official duties, so I'll take my leave now."

Li Junsu stood up and spoke.

Judging by the time, he has been in seclusion for a little over half a month.

After finishing official business, sparring with Senior Zhulong should help me grasp the true meaning more quickly.

Next, we need to have the Human Emperor and the Ancestor of the War God strengthen the phantoms on the Heavenly Star Martial Arena.

"Okay, someone outside is looking for you too."

"After you have absorbed the true meaning of the mountains and rivers, there are still rivers waiting for you."

"Pay attention to rest."

Houtu looked at Prince An and spoke with incredibly gentle eyes.

"must."

After Li Junsu bowed respectfully, he slowly disappeared.

"You all, hurry up and find me some rare and precious herbs."

After watching Li Junsu leave, Houtu transmitted her voice again.

This time, the Emperor of Fengdu wept.

......

Prince An's Mansion, Study

As soon as Li Junsu appeared, Bai Xingling, who had been waiting for a long time, stood up.

"problem occurs."

Bai Xingling looked at Li Junsu and flicked her tail.

"what's up?"

Before Li Junsu could even sit down, upon hearing this, he immediately asked.

"The Overlord has appeared."

"He raised an army in Jiangdong."

"Now Jiangdong has rebelled."

Bai Xingling looked at Li Junsu and swallowed hard.

The atmosphere in the study instantly turned cold.

"Are the people alright?"

Li Junsu narrowed his eyes, a murderous intent rising within him.

The earth's energy is now at its peak, a truly prosperous era.

Whoever disrupts the peace and prosperity of this era shall die.

"It's alright, the Six Doors have already evacuated officials and civilians in advance."

"Bai Qi and Li Jing have already returned to the capital. The emperor is holding a meeting in the palace. You should go quickly."

Bai Xingling looked at Li Junsu and explained concisely.

"I'll be back soon."

Li Junsu nodded, his figure turning into death energy and disappearing from the spot.

"Jiangdong...is about to be awash in blood."

Bai Xingling muttered to herself.

......

Liangyi Hall

At this moment, the court officials were very quiet.

The emperor sat in the main seat, showing no sign of urgency.

They are waiting, waiting for the return of the God of War and the Butcher.

They are also waiting, waiting for Prince An to appear.

They didn't have to wait long.

The God of War and the Butcher of Men, as soon as they stepped into the main hall, deathly energy gathered in the empty seat next to the emperor.

When Li Jing and Bai Qi walked to their seats and sat down, Li Junsu also appeared and took his seat.

"Everyone's here, let's serve the wine."

The emperor laughed.

"You all know what happened."

The emperor looked at his court officials, his tone very relaxed.

"Your Majesty, how could the earth's veins reflect the Overlord's image?"

Bai Qi was somewhat puzzled.

Given the tyrant's personality, he would almost certainly rebel; how could he possibly reflect on the other side?

"Is this what Brother Yu was talking about... fishing?"

Li Junsu sat in his seat, watching the maid put down the wine cup, propped his face up with one hand, and picked up the wine cup with the other to play with it.

Li Tian'ao's teachings came back to mind once again.

“Jun Su, remember this: the wealthier you are, the more easily you become out of control.”

"Because they have more confidence."

"Having enough confidence will only make them bolder and bolder."

"Remember, never be arrogant because of your wealth."

"Otherwise, it's easy to set yourself on fire."

A thought flashed through his mind, and Li Junsu took a small sip of his drink.

That's how it is now. In Jiangdong... it seems to be getting a bit out of control because of capital.

“Jiangdong is prosperous, and the martial arts sects there have always been suppressed by the Six Doors. Now, the appearance of the Overlord has ignited their ambitions.”

"If I'm not mistaken, the Overlord's Reflection was deliberately created by the earth's veins."

"The purpose is to make these people expose themselves."

Fang Xuanlin then spoke softly.

"I see."

Bai Qi nodded upon hearing this.

That makes sense.

"The spiritual energy of the earth's veins seems to be getting stronger?"

Upon hearing this, a glint flashed in Li Jing's eyes.

The timing of the reflection of the earth's veins can be described as perfect.

It just so happens that both he and Bai Qi were leading large armies, reflecting the Overlord.

In this way, they can take action directly.

The thought of sparring with the Overlord made Li Jing's blood boil.

Bai Qi had clearly thought of this as well, and was somewhat expectant.

"Jun Su, what do you think?"

Seeing Li Jing and Bai Qi's expressions, the emperor understood their restlessness and turned to Li Junsu with a smile.

He was a little curious: if the Overlord brought out his elite troops from the martial arts world, could they hold their own against the Tiger Slaughter Guard?

"I will kill him."

Prince An lazily lifted his eyelids and drank the wine in the cup in one gulp.

As Li Junsu finished speaking, Li Jing and Bai Qi exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with regret.

"Haha, okay... then I'll leave it to you."

The emperor looked at Li Junsu and laughed as he spoke.

"I will be right back."

After saying this, Prince An disappeared from the spot.

"The Immortal Master Wujing".

The emperor looked at Yun Wujing.

Yun Wujing nodded and waved his hand.

At this moment, the Jiangdong projection appeared before everyone's eyes.

......

江东

At that moment, the Overlord rode a jet-black steed, with a vast army behind him.

The Overlord is planning to cross the river.

Just as the Overlord was about to give the order for the army to set off, a jet-black aura of death appeared before the army.

Deathly energy gathered, and the black and red dragon robe, under the cover of night, took on a silent majesty.

Before Prince An even appeared, a million lives were already taken.

Everyone felt a tremor in their hearts and a tightness in their throats.

Prince An stepped out, and a gentle breeze lifted the hem of his robe.

Despite being a solitary figure, he caused the entire army to freeze in place.

They... felt an even stronger... pressure from Prince An than from the Overlord.

No, that wasn't oppression, but pure...killing intent.

The steed beneath the king's steed was startled and reared up.

The overlord landed smoothly, and the horse immediately fled.

But the overlord couldn't care less about that anymore.

"Who are you."

The Overlord looked at the Prince of An with an extremely solemn expression.

"The dead need not know my name."

Li Junsu looked at Ba Wang with indifferent eyes.

"Insanity!"

After saying this, the Overlord waved his hand, and a giant halberd appeared.

"burn one's boats!"

The Overlord, wielding a giant halberd in both hands, leaped up and slammed it down directly on Prince An's head.

A powerful, overwhelming pressure, capable of splitting mountains and shattering peaks, descended directly from the sky.

Overlord, relying on his own true essence, even shattered space itself.

With a single strike, the halberd fell with the force of an apocalypse.

Prince An merely lifted his eyelids slightly in a lazy manner.

Faced with such a powerful strike, he counted on his fingers.

The fingers collided with the heavenly soldiers, and neither side would yield to the other's momentum.

The next instant, Prince An flicked his finger.

Like a swirling abyss of death energy, it transformed into a monstrous dragon and roared past.

The Overlord was blasted away, leaving only the giant halberd spinning in mid-air before it pierced the ground.

Dead silence, absolute dead silence.

With a single finger, how can one contend against a top-tier martial master who possesses heavenly soldiers?

But before everyone could recover from their shock...

"Roar!"

An ancient roar echoed throughout the entire Jiangdong region.

The phantom images of the four evil spirits slowly emerged behind Prince An.
