All races revere me as the Heavenly Emperor, solely because of my nine disciples!

"what……"

"Do not……"

"Boom boom boom..."

Near the secret realm, while the Primordial Demon was wreaking havoc, on the other side, at the ruins of the former sacred site of Qiong Yao, a bloody massacre had also begun.

Since the destruction of the sacred site of Qiong Yao, people have been flocking there in recent years in search of treasures, hoping to find some of the legacy of the sacred site of Qiong Yao.

Of course, most of these people were independent cultivators. However, there were also some disciples from sects involved.

After all, it is the inheritance of a great holy land, and obtaining it would be a rare opportunity.

Meanwhile, thousands of treasure hunters perished under the weight of countless jade needles.

Ultimately, their vital energy and their souls all merged into the jade needle, making the runes on the needle even more dazzling.

In the sky, a stunningly beautiful woman stood on clouds, surrounded by 999 emerald needles that swirled around her. Every now and then, one needle would fly out, killing hundreds of people.

Soon, all the cultivators who came to search for treasure on the ruins of the Qiongyao Holy Land died, none of them able to withstand a single blow.

"The Fairy of Azure Waves..."

Finally, only a reluctant voice remained in the sky.

Clearly, someone recognized the woman.

That's right, the woman's name is Bibo, known as Fairy Bibo, and she is one of the strongest among the younger generation in the Northern Wilderness. She was once the Holy Maiden of Qiong Yao's Holy Land.

No one expected that when the Qiong Yao Sect was destroyed, she was not inside the sect and escaped the calamity.

Now that he has appeared here, his cultivation has reached the heavens and the earth, and no one can see what's in front of him.

"They destroyed my sect and ruined my lineage, and now they still dare to dream of unifying the world. How can I agree to that?"

A deathly silence hung over the ruins of Qiong Yao's residence. The woman spoke slowly, her voice filled with sorrow, endless resentment, and anger.

Soon, the surrounding towns also suffered massacres.

Bibo was not as cruel as Shimo Huan, who killed even ordinary people and slapped even dogs wherever he went.

But she showed no mercy to outsiders. Whether they were rogue cultivators or cultivators from other sects, they were all killed. In particular, cultivators from the Qian Dynasty and disciples of the academy became her targets.

At the same time, the same thing happened in the former territories of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Great Yuan Dynasty, and the Great Tang Dynasty.

Someone forcefully emerged, continuously destroying the banners of the Qian Dynasty.

All the Qian Dynasty's garrison and the academy's disciples were killed.

They are trying to break the unified structure of the Northern Wilderness with their own strength.

Because these people acted so suddenly, neither the academy nor the Qian Dynasty received the news for a while.

By the time the academy and the Qian Dynasty learned of the news, millions of people had already suffered a bloodbath at the hands of these people.

Among them were cultivators, as well as ordinary mortals.

……

"what?"

"Outrageous! Are these people courting death?"

That evening, Chen Xuan learned of the news and was immediately enraged.

"Send word to summon the eight saints—Jianfeng Yun, Xudao, Xuhai, Xuyun, Lianxing, Hongxue, Yaochi, and Jinhua—to come and pay their respects!"

Subsequently, Chen Xuan issued an order.

Now, he has gradually taken on the role of the ruler of the Northern Wilderness, his aura becoming increasingly terrifying. He is no longer the helpless emperor he once was, but a supreme sovereign, the ruler of this entire world.

As soon as he gave the order, eight streaks of light shot out from the academy, covering a distance of tens of thousands of miles in an instant.

"I have met His Majesty!"

Led by Jianfeng Yun, the eight saints simultaneously bowed to Chen Qian.

After all, he is the ruler of the Northern Wilderness, and they will still give him the respect he deserves. They will obey even his orders.

This concerns the interests of the Qian Dynasty, the interests of the academy's tradition, and the interests of every single one of them.

"Gentlemen, this is an emergency, and I understand you are truly left with no other choice!"

"This is the situation reported from below; please take a look!"

Without wasting words, Chen Xuan waved his hand and a series of memorials flew out, hovering in front of the Eight Saints.

Each of them picked up a folded document and looked at their faces, their expressions gradually becoming serious.

"There is chaos everywhere, and the person who made the move is unfathomable. I wonder about their cultivation level?"

Finally, Jianfengyun muttered to himself.

"That's right, these people are all too powerful. Before the people below could even figure out their strength, they were all killed or wounded. Those who were lucky enough to survive couldn't even fathom their true strength!"

"I know that this matter should not trouble you all; you should be assigned other tasks!"

"But the sacrificial ceremony to Heaven is just around the corner, and I will soon be enthroned!"

"And Elder Zhou's day of preaching is even more imminent. Time is too tight; there's no time to deal with these scoundrels!"

"Therefore, I would like to ask you all to take action and resolve this matter as soon as possible, so as not to cause any further complications!"

"Of course, one thing is certain: most of those who made these moves were outstanding disciples from the various holy lands, or even successors of holy sons!"

"With your combined strength, I believe taking them down shouldn't be too difficult!"

Chen Xuan nodded slightly, his expression dignified.

"Rest assured, Your Majesty, the unification of the world is an inevitable trend that cannot be defied. Since these people are courting death, we will show them no mercy!"

"Your Majesty is right, this matter cannot be delayed!"

Jian Fengyun nodded slightly, and his words were met with approval from the others.

"Alright, then I'll have to trouble you all!"

Without further ado, Chen Xuan ordered his men to activate the Emperor's Corner Teleportation Array, which then teleported the group to various locations to quell the rebellion.

I thought that with the Eight Saints taking action, this matter should be easily resolved.

However, three full days passed without any results.

That evening, however, news arrived that Jinlian was seriously injured and nearly died.

When someone brought her back to the capital, she had already fallen into a coma, and even her soul had collapsed.

……

"Junior brother... junior brother!"

Late at night, Zhou Hai was tempering his body on the third level of the Ice and Fire Torture Pool when a sudden, urgent sound startled him awake.

He suddenly opened his eyes, left the torture chamber, opened the courtyard gate, and saw Murong Xiao leading a group of people.

This is a group of female disciples carrying a person, Jinlian.

"what's the situation?"

Zhou Hai frowned; he could tell at a glance that Jinlian was in danger.

She was not only severely injured, but also poisoned, which tormented her flesh and soul.

"This is... the work of the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons?"

Before Murong Xiao could speak, Zhou Hai continued.

"Exactly!"

Murong Xiao nodded and asked, "Junior brother, are you confident you can save them?"

Zhou Hai didn't speak, but stepped forward and carefully examined the condition of a golden lotus. Finally, he said, "Senior brother, immediately send someone to the medicine garden to collect a Purple Flame Vermilion Fruit, a Snow Lotus Seed, and a Phoenix Tree Leaf!"

Upon hearing this, Murong Xiao immediately gave the order, and a female disciple carrying his token went to the medicine garden.

"Senior brother, tell me, what happened?"

Finally, Zhou Hai retrieved some other medicinal herbs from the alchemy treasure vault that the system had previously rewarded him with, and asked questions as he sorted them out.

Seeing him like this, Murong Xiao immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Otherwise, if this lineage were to lose a sage so soon after its establishment, it would be too demoralizing.

"That's how it is, Junior Brother!"

"Three days ago, some people appeared and caused trouble in various places. Among them, those whose identities were verified were: Bi Bo, the Holy Maiden of Qiong Yao Holy Land; Shi Mo Huan, the Demon Prince of Blood Refining Demon Sect; Ji Wushang, the Young Master of Ji Clan; Tuoba Wushuang, the Holy Maiden of Yuan Dynasty; and Li Qingyao, the Holy Maiden of Tang Dynasty!"

"In addition, there are many elders and elite disciples from these holy lands!"

"These people, due to entering the secret realm and other fortuitous circumstances, did not perish with the former holy land and are now wreaking havoc everywhere!"

"Upon learning of the news, Emperor Qian, to avoid any unforeseen complications, specially dispatched the Eight Sages to quell the rebellion!"

"However, three days later, these people disappeared immediately. Not only did the Eight Saints fail to find them, but Elder Golden Lotus was also seriously injured!"

"My guess is the same as my junior brother's; it must have been the work of the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons!"

"This Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons is too mysterious. It was once a great holy land in the Northern Wilderness, but it was wiped out tens of thousands of years ago by the Qian Dynasty and other holy lands!"

"I never expected them to survive even after they died. They showed up a few years ago and then disappeared, only to reappear here now!"

"According to sources, they may have already possessed a sage a few years ago, but no one knows what the current situation is!"

Murong Xiao's expression was solemn as he recounted all the information in one breath.

There was nothing we could do. The unification of the world was nearing its end, but we never expected so much chaos to suddenly arise.

So many threats lurk in the shadows. Especially this Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons, whose danger far surpasses that of the other remnants.

"Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons?"

"The Qian Dynasty has already unified the Northern Wilderness, so why didn't they find their lair? Not even the slightest clue?"

Zhou Hai raised an eyebrow.

"No, not a trace. Otherwise, we wouldn't have gone through all this trouble!"

"If we really find them, there's no need for them to even make a move; the Emperor will order their complete extermination!"

"The Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons is extremely dangerous and cruel, and to some extent, it is even more dangerous than the Blood Refining Demon Sect. It must not be allowed to live!"

Murong Xiao shook his head; this was what worried him the most.

After all, they are in the open while the enemy is in the dark, and they don't even know the strength of the enemy. How can they deal with that?

"I see!"

"Don't worry about this for now, I'll handle the rest!"

Zhou Hai waved his hand, and just as he was speaking, the female disciple arrived at the scene with the Purple Flame Vermilion Fruit, Phoenix Tree Leaf, and Blood Lotus Seed.

This is a blood-red chain, resembling amber or congealed blood, yet without any dark red hue, remaining a vibrant, glistening crimson.

In addition, the Purple Flame Vermilion Fruit is covered with a layer of purple flame, and touching it can instantly reduce mortals to ashes.

Phoenix-winged parasol tree leaves are a type of parasol tree leaf, but they differ from ordinary parasol trees. Their leaves resemble phoenix feathers, with phoenix patterns on them, making them quite mysterious. This gives them a medicinal quality reminiscent of a phoenix rising from the ashes.

After receiving the three doses of medicine, Zhou Hai waved his hand and took out the Saint King Furnace.

"Junior Brother, are you... going to refine medicine?"

Murong Xiao's expression changed, and he looked at Zhou Hai in disbelief.

Does he know how to make medicine?
