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

Upon receiving its master's task, Qiongqi immediately got up.

Then, Qiongqi spread its wings and soared away.

After leaving the study, Qiongqi's figure suddenly grew larger.

"Roar!"

A tiger's roar echoed throughout the palace, startling the Four Dragon Ancestors and the patriarchs of various families who were repairing the palace.

Qiongqi was entirely black and red, with its wings spread wide. The deathly aura did not dissipate but flowed within its wings, and the deep black color added a touch of nobility to it.

The demons, including Taotie and Chaos, roared in response to their third sister's call.

However, their voices were very soft, not much different from sobs.

The reason why is that Nuwa is still here.

They were aware of their own identities, unlike their third sister who was so flamboyant.

They knew that the reason their third sister could be so flamboyant was because Prince An favored her.

Nuwa would give King An face and not touch Qiongqi, or rather, she would not be able to touch Qiongqi.

You can't exactly go into the study to smoke Qiongqi cigarettes, can you?

But they are different.

If one day Nuwa secretly comes to their door to punish them, they can only laugh and say that they accidentally fell.

As for how the Demon Emperor fell and got hurt, that's not important.

After Qiongqi transmitted the King's decree, it flew directly to the land where ten thousand armies were vying for power.

The next instant, a streak of black and red light shot into the sky, its speed surpassing even that of Qiongqi.

Taotie was even more excited than Qiongqi.

Nothing else, why not fight?

If you're looking for a lineage, you'll definitely need to ask the Martial Venerable for their opinion.

If they disagree, they have to reason with them.

Taotie loves to move things.

Both Taotie and Chaos vanished into nothingness one after the other.

......

The Warring States Period

At this moment, independent cultivators arrived one after another, as did elders from various martial arts sects who brought their disciples.

Since the battleground of ten thousand paths isn't that dangerous, why not hurry up and come here to find the inheritance?

This group of Sword Sect elders came from Sword King City and Green Mountain Sword Sect.

Even the Hidden Sword Pavilion and the Falling Flower Sword Sect sent their elders and disciples.

There's no way around it; it's an ancient tradition, no joke.

Not all sword sects are like Sword Abode Mountain, which has all the necessary techniques and martial arts insights.

Besides the Sword Sect, others who wield knives and spears also gathered here, and it seemed that a great battle between sects and independent cultivators, elders and reclusive martial artists was about to break out.

"Roar!"

At that moment, a deafening tiger's roar echoed throughout the heavens and earth.

The elders reacted quickly and took immediate action.

Even with the elders' protection, the weaker disciples still had a trickle of blood at the corner of their mouths.

As for those rogue cultivators who lack life-saving methods, they should either immediately seal their seven orifices and temporarily feign death.

They would either be so shocked that they would bleed from all seven orifices, just one step away from death.

The elders stared in horror at the scene, then abruptly turned their heads to look at the sky.

Dark clouds rolled in from the sky, like a massive army pressing in.

Dark clouds stretched like the sea, and from within the deep waves, two blood-red figures leaped out.

"Qiongqi...Qiongqi?!"

One of the elders was completely dumbfounded.

"Taowu..."

Another elder collapsed to the ground.

Didn't Prince An come here once already?

What does it mean to say "The Four Fiends will come again"?

The appearance of Qiongqi undoubtedly angered many righteous martial masters, who immediately drew their swords.

Golden sword light rose from the ground, piercing through the dark clouds, allowing the morning light to shine into the area.

However, the black and red light directly brought out a dark and malevolent aura, which extinguished the golden light and caused the dawn to disappear without a trace.

Just like the hopes of the independent cultivators.

The Taotie charged directly into the battlefield, unleashing both malevolent energy and golden light simultaneously.

Seeing this, the other righteous martial arts masters were about to make a move.

The next instant, blood energy and turbid energy appeared simultaneously.

Chaos and Taotie arrived at this place.

Qiongqi was the last to arrive; she flapped her wings and slowly descended.

Those who don't know the truth would think she's the leader of the Four Fiends.

Below her, a group of elders and disciples had been gathered there for some time.

These are the elders and disciples of the Hidden Sword Pavilion and the Falling Flower Sword Sect.

They themselves knew that the Four Villains belonged to the Prince An's mansion.

I've come here just to flatter Qiongqi.

"Lord Qiongqi, may I ask what brings you here in person?"

Luo Li stepped forward, cupped her hands, and asked.

This time, Luo Li was leading the team again.

She cried. Her master had been throwing all sorts of official duties at her in order to make her the sect leader.

She even suspected that her master wanted to become a hands-off manager.

But she dared not say it.

She had said that her master would take action, but she couldn't defeat him.

There's no way around it; if you don't have the ability, you'll have to work like a slave.

Luo Li also yearned for strength at this moment.

Once she becomes stronger, she will turn around and exploit her master, making him work for her.

It's worth mentioning that Luo Li is now also a martial arts expert and is already ranked 20th on the Human Ranking.

Not to mention the Prince An's Mansion, it wouldn't even rank among the top in the Six Doors (a government agency).

But in the martial arts world, he's a well-known senior figure.

Is he alright?

And the nineteenth on the Earth Ranking is An Yishuang, the captain of the Hidden Sword Pavilion.

That is, the woman who is now looking up at Qiongqi.

After An Yishuang went into seclusion, she felt that she was just one step away from achieving complete self-realization.

Once she advances to the Martial Venerable level, she will naturally have to go to the Prince An's Mansion.

Over the years, she and Li Junsu had also corresponded. Given Li Junsu's personality, he had long ago agreed to let her stay at the Prince's residence.

In Prince An's view, it was perfectly normal for his sister's master to want a courtyard.

The Prince's mansion can accommodate anyone, even a wondrous being like the Holy Mountain Goddess, who lives there contentedly. What is my sister's master compared to that?

She was immediately assigned a task after just leaving customs, which made her very unhappy.

She originally planned to stay at Prince An's residence for a while.

"Roar."

Qiongqi looked at An Yishuang and Luo Li, and gave a low growl as a greeting.

She also knew which faction each of them belonged to.

We still need to offer them some protection.

This wasn't because Qiongqi was kind-hearted, but because it could go back and curry favor with its master.

Qiongqi flicked its tail, signaling them to follow it.

Just as Qiongqi led his men to set off, a sword light flew over.

The next instant, to the astonishment of An Yishuang and Luo Li, Qiongqi moved.

A claw tore through the void, black and red malevolent energy intertwined with death energy.

The malevolent energy shattered the golden light, but Qiongqi did not stop there. She lunged forward, and then her other huge tiger claw tore through space from below.

An Yishuang and Luo Li could only see a few streaks of blood.

Qiongqi flicked its tail, signaling them to catch the blood of the Martial Venerable.

An Yishuang and Luo Li then came to their senses and quickly took out the porcelain bottle to store the blood of the Martial Venerable.

This is good stuff.

Qiongqi simply stayed where it was, licking its claws with a mocking look in its eyes.

She is the smartest of the four fierce cats, and also the one who loves to tease mice the most.

If a cat isn't hungry, it won't kill the mouse immediately after catching it.

Instead, they will toy with the mice, playing them to death.

Currently, even Qiongqi, this large domestic cat, has developed this problem.

In Prince An's mansion, Qiongqi is indeed a big cat.

But once she left the palace, she was not only a top-tier demon emperor, but also one of the four infamous villains.

The Four Fiends were renowned demon emperors in ancient times.

An Yishuang and Luo Li looked at Qiongqi's back with complicated expressions.

Long ago, if Prince An wanted to shake the world, he had to take action himself.

Now, he can send out his henchmen and cause chaos in the martial arts world.

But if you really consider the time involved, it doesn't actually seem like that long.

It's only been about ten years since the rise of An Wang and his generation of prodigies.

For a martial artist, ten years is not a short time, but it is certainly not a long time either.

Having lived through the end of the Sui Dynasty, An Yishuang felt as if she were in another world.

An Yishuang felt as if she had been transported to another world, but the rogue cultivators were wailing and howling like ghosts.

They had come excitedly after hearing that there was no danger in the area.

They discovered that there really wasn't one, just as they were getting ready to search for the inheritance.

The four villains have arrived.

From being safe to facing imminent death, they were bound to wail and scream in despair.

As the rogue cultivators ran, a somewhat desperate thought popped into their heads.

Is Prince An their natural enemy?

Otherwise, there's no reason why Prince An would be involved in every dangerous situation.

......

Lingnan, the land of the Jiuli people

The true form of King An, who is regarded as the natural enemy by the rogue cultivators, has now arrived in the territory of the Jiuli tribe.

"Why are you here?"

The warlord stopped training his people, looked at Li Junsu, and a gentle smile came from behind his mask.

"Senior, this is..."

Li Junsu looked at the blood-red phantom in the center with some surprise.

The group of blood-red figures exuded power, killing intent, and morale.

To put it bluntly, it was the strongest and most prosperous of all the ancient tribes he had ever seen.

"These are the elite troops personally trained by Li Tan. They are the blood-red tsunami that ravaged the ancient times."

The Demon Lord's languid voice echoed in An Wang's mind.

"Then your elite troops, senior..."

Upon hearing this, Li Junsu turned his attention to the Demon Lord.

The Demon Clan fought the Jiuli Clan head-on back then.

It didn't rely on the Shennong tribe.

What about the elite troops of the Demon Lord?

"My elite troops?"

"If you want to take it, you'll need to nurture it with a large amount of earth veins."

"Even without ley lines, we still need life force."

"Right now, most of the power of the Demon Orb is only enough to sustain Yun Chu alone."

The Demon Lord smiled at Li Junsu.

"vitality?"

Li Junsu asked a question that was ambiguous.

Upon hearing Li Junsu's question, the Demon Lord naturally understood what he was thinking.

"The Undead probably never expected that they would face another calamity after their deaths."

"The Western Regions are truly blessed."

The Demon Lord thought to himself.

Her elite troops were not the same as the current elite troops of the demon race.

These belong to the Supreme Guard, the elite troops personally led by the Demon Lord.

Not only are they powerful fighters, but most terrifyingly, they can also contribute to the Demon Realm.

The Demon Realm absorbs external resources to nourish itself. After fully absorbing external resources, the Demon Realm will purify its demonic energy and nourish itself in return.

This cycle allows the Demon Realm to absorb external resources at a faster pace, and also makes the Demon Realm stronger.

Then the demon warriors will become stronger and stronger, and their speed of absorbing external energy will also increase.

Once they reach the critical point, these elite demons will be able to grasp the true meaning of the demon race and unleash the ultimate killing move of the demon supreme.

Although its power is not as great as the original body, it is still... the ultimate killing move of the Supreme Being.

It can be said that the demon race is a race born for killing.

After listening to the Demon Lord's description, Li Junsu touched the back of his neck.

It's very strong, and also terrifying.

However, this makes the Jiuli tribe, which was able to defeat the demons, seem even more terrifying.

Even if the Jiuli tribe won a Pyrrhic victory, it was still a victory.

"They are the elite I trained, waiting for the earth's veins to reflect upon them."

The voice of the military commander made Li Junsu temporarily suppress his thoughts.

"Senior, I would like to know information about the Undead and the Kuafu tribe."

Li Junsu looked at the military leader and spoke frankly.

"You want to rob them too?"

At this moment, Li Man subconsciously walked over and said.

The next instant, a streak of crimson light flew over.

Li Huang kicked his colleague, Li Man, sending him flying.

The warlord gave Li Huang an approving look.

What do you mean by "robbery"? That's called "borrowing".

Why are you suddenly interested in them?

The warlord then looked at Li Junsu with a look of satisfaction in his eyes.

It's a good thing that they know they're hunting...and finding allies.

"I've heard that the Undead have an Undead Tree, and I'd like to give it to a senior."

Li Junsu carefully considered his words before speaking.

At the same time, he realized that the soldiers had helped him a lot, so if possible, he should also prepare a gift for them.

"It's a good idea."

Upon hearing this, the warlord nodded.

"The Undying People... their land is overseas. If the earth's veins are willing to reflect, they should appear west of the Three Immortal Mountains."

"The priests there are quite strong, so this will be a good test for you."

"However... that applies to you before you killed Erfu."

"With your current strength... it will be very difficult for the other party to take you down if they don't absorb the life force of the Eternal Soil."

"If you are interested in honing your skills, you can have that priest absorb the soil of immortality."

The warlord's thoughts drifted away as he pondered something.

......

In my memory, the land of immortality, beneath the tree of immortality

A handsome, almost inhuman man, dressed in white, knelt on one knee.

"Who...who are you...?"

The white-clad man's face was stained with blood, and his elaborate, snow-white robe was also stained red with blood.

Even so, it did not make it look disheveled; instead, the bright red blood added a touch of tragic beauty to it.

"You do not need to know my name."

"I'll ask you one last time, will you truly not serve me?"

The young warlord stood with his hands behind his back, his chin slightly raised, speaking in a disdainful tone.

Beneath the mask, the voice only conveyed oppression.

“We have nothing to talk about with a butcher like you who kills without hesitation.”

After speaking, the figure in white directly planted the scepter into the ground, and the vitality of the Eternal Soil was absorbed at an astonishing speed.

"Eight Desolations".

"Slaughtering life."

Upon hearing this, the young warlord no longer held back.

Wielding the weapon of slaughter, he brought it down with a single stroke.

The vast land of immortals was directly divided in two.

The tsunami surged, and the undead were instantly crushed into dust by the aftershocks of the blood energy.

The immortal priest was even directly split in two.

Its physical body, consciousness, and origin were completely absorbed.

On the blade of the Thousand Slaughtering Slaughter, the Undead have been transformed into a battle mark, permanently sealed within it.

"Since you can no longer be used by me, death is the end you deserve."

After leaving behind that message, the Lord of War uprooted the Immortal Tree.

He would rather destroy a country than let it be won over by the Xuanyuan clan.

This is the Lord of War: domineering, cold, and ruthless.

The figure vanished, and the land of immortality was swallowed by the sea.

......

Jiuli tribe land

"If the immortal priest is willing to appear in the mortal world."

"He only wanted one thing, and that was revenge."

The warlord put aside his thoughts, looked at the Prince An in front of him, and scratched his cheek somewhat embarrassedly.

He felt that he had gone a bit too far in his actions.

"?"

Li Junsu was stunned for a moment.

"Haha, the Lord of War must have sunk someone's territory without a second thought."

"If these undead were to come back to life, they would naturally only think of revenge."

As one of the War Lord's adversaries, the Demon Lord naturally knew what kind of personality the other party had.

"..."
