[Please support the genuine version and read the latest chapters on the Qidian Chinese website!]
There are eight people in the stone room, all of whom are Yuanji realm martial emperors.
Seven men and one woman, each from the eight emperor-level forces in Dongzhou Continent:
Imperial royal family, Shengjue Temple, Ziyun Mountain, Holy Fire Sect, Saintess Pavilion, Murong Family, Hou Family, Zheng Family!
In addition to the ancient saint relics discovered secretly by oneself, one can secretly explore them alone. The public ancient saint relics must be explored together by eight emperor-level forces. This is an agreement.
The person who spoke was the Emperor Wu of the imperial family—Sikong Jilai!
His eyes were like eagle eyes, staring at a wall carefully. This place... used to be a bookshelf. After Lin Xuan broke it off, there were traces of it.
Sikong Jijie came to the wall, carefully observed the traces, and said, "They are very fresh traces. Just in the past few months, someone came here and took away some things."
Several Emperor Wu came to the wall, and some who were careful discovered the location of the desk before, and there were also some faint traces on the ground.
Emperor Zheng Jiawu ‘Zheng Tuo’ said: “There are also traces here. The treasures left by the ancient saints… must have been taken away!”
The martial emperors nodded secretly, with expressions of pity on their faces.
Even the Yuanji Realm Martial Emperors are interested in the treasures left by the ancient saints.
The Yuanji Realm Martial Emperor is the pinnacle of martial arts in Dongzhou Continent. Once you reach the Martial Emperor realm, it is too difficult to find treasures that can have an effect on the Martial Emperor's cultivation or strength, and the Ancient Sage's Relic happens to be one of them.
The ancient sage's relic was taken away first, which naturally made the Martial Emperors feel pity.
Unfortunately, after that, they all had doubts in their minds.
Daokong, who was wearing a Taoist robe and had a bald head, said: "No one has ever walked on the road we came on. How did the person who took the ancient sage's treasure get here, and where did he leave after taking the treasure?"
Among the eight, there was another bald head.
This bald man is wearing a monk's robe, he is a serious monk, and he is Kong Yan, the Emperor Wu of Shengjue Temple.
Kong Yan snorted lightly at Daokong's disgusted look.
Daokong looked at Kong Yan and chuckled, saying: "Senior Brother Kong Yan, do you know?"
Kong Yan said: "I don't know."
Daokong said disdainfully: "I don't know what to hum!"
Kong Yan turned his head to one side, not looking at him.
The martial emperors looked at each other. This stone room had no other entrance or exit except the one they had just opened. They really couldn't figure out how the person who captured the treasure came here and how he left.
Sikong Jilai, who was the first to discover the traces, narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Check it out and find out who has entered this ruins in the East Ji Region and who has had special experiences in this ruins. It shouldn't be difficult to find out..."
The eyes of all the Martial Emperors lit up.
Someone praised: "Best regards, Brother Sikong!"
The eight Martial Emperors left the Ancient Saint Ruins and then investigated in the East Ji Territory... Who had entered the Ancient Saint Ruins, and what did they do in the ruins?
After such an investigation, a special existence was naturally found—Lin Xuan!
The other Martial Kings who have entered the ruins of the ancient saint have similar experiences. They either gained some benefits by exploring the periphery, or after passing through the Sword Domain Hall, they broke into the Sword Tower and failed before even getting through a few floors.
Only Lin Xuan seemed to have passed the nine-level trial of the Sword Realm, and... it took a full month to return to the stone hall where the Sword Tower was located.
The answer is obvious!
Lin Xuan is the person most likely to obtain the ancient sage's relic.
In order to test this idea... the eight great Martial Emperors entered the ruins of the ancient saint again. There were restrictions in the sword tower. As Martial Emperors, they could not enter, so the eight of them joined forces to directly attack the sword tower.
An ancient sage relic has gone through countless years, and the restrictions inside it are naturally difficult for the eight great martial emperors to join forces.
The knife tower collapsed under the attack of the Eight Great Martial Emperors, and a small teleportation array appeared inside.
Through the small teleportation array, you can directly reach the final stone chamber of the ancient saint ruins!
This discovery directly confirmed that Lin Xuan was indeed the one who obtained the ancient sage's relic. For a moment... all the great martial emperors had their own plans in mind.
Lin Xuan was no longer in the East Ji Region, but the Eight Great Martial Emperors found out that Lin Xuan entered the Demon King Ridge and was suspected of going to Dongzhou Continent.
The Eight Great Martial Emperors hurriedly left the East Ji Territory and went to Demon King Ridge to look for Lin Xuan.
Entering Demon King Ridge, the eight Martial Emperors dispersed. Among them... seven Martial Emperors directly captured the Demon King in Demon King Ridge and asked about Lin Xuan's whereabouts.
Only the Martial Emperor ‘Daokong’ of Ziyun Mountain, after parting ways with the other Martial Emperors, passed directly through the Demon King Ridge and flew towards the northwest.
From the moment he learned the information about 'Lin Xuan', Daokong immediately realized that the young ninth-level Martial King he met in Demon King Ridge who traveled from the East Ji Region to Dongzhou Continent completely matched Lin Xuan's information and must be
Lin Xuan has no doubt.
Daokong was delicious. Lin Xuan's roasted Snow Wolf King meat made him addicted to it. He also agreed to bring Lin Xuan the materials for brewing fine wine. In order to facilitate the search for Lin Xuan, Daokong naturally secretly left Lin Xuan with it.
Make a mark.
Therefore, Daokong was able to directly sense Lin Xuan's location. He did not need to ask others and then slowly track him, but directly pursued Lin Xuan.
…
Xia Jiangyu!
It is located in the northeast of Yunhuang Dynasty and is connected to Yaowang Ridge.
The Xia family is a prominent family in the Xiajiang region and was once the family of Emperor Wu.
Sixty years ago, the Emperor Wu of the Xia family passed away. Without the emergence of a new Emperor Wu, the Xia family fell out of the ranks of Emperor Wu's influence and gradually faded away from the stage of the Yun Dynasty.
But... a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. In the Xiajiang Region, the Xia family is still the dominant force, superior to all other king-level forces.
In the Xia family's mansion, in the backyard of the main mansion, there is an underground secret room.
Xia Dongsheng, the head of the Xia family, is practicing in the secret room. On his forehead, a black flame mark appears.
If Lin Xuan were here, he would definitely recognize it as the 'Evil King's Mark' on the forehead of King Wu of the [Evil Alliance].
The Evil Alliance is just a branch of the [Evil Temple] in the East Ji Region. In Dongzhou Continent, the [Evil Temple] is called the Evil Temple. It has the Dongzhou Continent headquarters in the territory of the Dongzhou Empire, as well as the headquarters of each of the four dynasties.
There is a branch.
The Xia family was once the Martial Emperor's force as famous as Fengtian Tower, and had great fame in the Yun Dynasty.
However, with the death of Emperor Wu, their strength was greatly reduced. The Xia family could no longer compare with Fengtian Tower and other Emperor Wu forces, and their sphere of influence was constantly being eroded by other major Emperor Wu forces.
Now, we can only rule the roost in this temple in the Xiajiang region.
And... in the Xiajiang Domain, all the major king-level forces are more or less involved with other Martial Emperor forces, and they have also begun to work both overtly and covertly against the Xia family.
The Xia family urgently needs a new powerful Martial Emperor to appear to rectify their reputation.
It's a pity that there is no talented person with the qualifications of a Martial Emperor in the Xia family.
Xia Dongsheng's cultivation level has been stuck at the ninth level of Feitian Realm for many years, making no progress. As he gets older, his potential gradually dwindles, and he almost loses hope of breaking through to the Martial Emperor.
For his own hope of becoming the Martial Emperor, and for the future of the Xia family, Xia Dongsheng became determined and invested in the [Evil Temple], hoping to use the power of the Evil Temple to aspire to be the Martial Emperor.
Xia Dongsheng was given the Mark of the Evil King, and gained the powerful martial arts from the Evil King Palace and the resources provided by the Evil King Palace. As expected, his cultivation level improved again, and the hope of breaking through to the Martial Emperor was restored.
This year is already the tenth year that Xia Dongsheng has joined the Evil Temple, and his cultivation has already reached the level of Xuandan.
In the Xuandan realm, one needs to compress the whole body's strength and condense a Xuandan in the Dantian. From then on, with a Xuandan in hand, my life is at my discretion, my life level will undergo transformation, and my lifespan will explode to five hundred years.
.
Xia Dongsheng has compressed half of his body's strength and condensed a virtual elixir in his dantian, which belongs to the Half-Step Martial Emperor. As long as time accumulates, when all the strength of his body is pressed into his dantian, the virtual elixir turns into a real elixir, it will be considered official.
Step into the Xuandan realm and become a true Martial Emperor.
Today, while Xia Dongsheng was practicing, his mind suddenly moved.
"Huh? Curse of the evil god?"
Xia Dongsheng murmured, turning his head slightly, as if looking in a distant direction.
In the [Evil God Temple], if a member with a complete 'Evil God Mark' planted by the 'Evil God Statue' is killed by someone, the 'Evil God Mark' will turn into a curse and enter the body of the murderer.
Anyone who possesses the 'Mark of the Evil God' can sense the 'Curse of the Evil God' within a certain distance.
The evil god's mark on different warriors has different names. The evil god's mark on the Martial Emperor is called the evil emperor's mark. The evil god's mark on the Martial Emperor's body is called the evil emperor's mark. The evil god's mark on the Martial King's body is called the evil king's mark.
The Evil King's mark on Xia Dongsheng's forehead is one of the complete 'Evil God's Marks', and he can naturally sense the 'Evil God's Curse'.
【Evil King's Palace】The law decrees that any member of the Evil King's Palace who encounters someone with the 'Evil God's Curse' will be killed without mercy!
Xia Dongsheng's eyes flashed sharply, and he murmured to himself: "If you don't take the road to heaven, you will have no way to hell. You are really asking for your own death."
Then, Xia Dongsheng suddenly raised his voice and said loudly: "Thunder, Black Mountain, Storm!"
The loud voice spread directly through the Xia family's mansion.
Immediately... three figures leaped from all directions and landed in the backyard of the Xia family's main residence. They were three ninth-level Martial Kings.
"Thunder is here!"
"Black Mountain is here!"
"The storm is coming!"
The three ninth-level Martial Kings all held scrolls toward the main room in the backyard with respectful expressions.
Xia Dongsheng's voice came from inside: "You three, rush to Niutou Mountain immediately, intercept a passing ninth-level Martial King, and bring his head to see me."
"yes!"
The three of them said in unison, followed the order and left.
Niutoushan is located about 120 miles east of Xiajiang City.
Xia Jinglei, Xia Heishan, and Xia Baofeng left the Xia family and arrived at Niutou Mountain not long after.
The three of them landed on the top of the mountain. Xia Jinglei said in surprise: "The master of the house is really clever. How did he know that there would be a ninth-level Martial King passing by Niutoushan?"
Xia Heishan said: "The head of the family wants to become the Martial Emperor, and the abilities he possesses are naturally beyond our ability to understand."
Xia Baofeng said: "Come, come, as expected, someone is flying towards this side, it should be the ninth-level Martial King."
While he was speaking, the powerful aura of King Wu came from far ahead.
There were still about two hundred miles away from Niutoushan, and in the distant sky, a golden light was coming quickly.
In the golden light, there is Lin Xuan who uses [Golden Light Thunder Shadow] to fly away.
He left Yaowang Ridge and flew towards the direction of the Murong Family, which was to the northwest. He happened to arrive at the Xiajiang Territory in the northeast of the Yun Dynasty and passed by Xiajiang City.
Lin Xuan, who was on his way, obviously didn't know that because of the 'curse of the evil god', he was discovered from a distance by Xia Dongsheng, the head of the Xia family, and sent people to stop him.
Lin Xuan flew forward along a straight line, gradually approaching Niutou Mountain.
"The aura of the Ninth Level Martial King?"
Lin Xuan's mental strength is far better than that of an ordinary ninth-level Martial King.
Once the distance was close, even if Xia Jinglei and three other ninth-level Martial Kings restrained their aura, they were still discovered by Lin Xuan.
Lin Xuan looked down upon the three ninth-level Martial Kings.
But now one more thing is worse than one less thing. I don't know what the three ninth-level Martial Kings in front are doing... Lin Xuan chose to take a detour to avoid the three of them.
"He discovered us and wanted to go around Niutoushan."
"Haha... The head of the family said that he wants his head, so if you want to go through with it like this, there's no way!"
"Since the other party doesn't come up directly, then we can only take the initiative to intercept!"
Xia Jinglei, Xia Heishan, and Xia Baofeng spoke one after another.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The three people immediately rushed up from Niutoushan and flew directly in front of Lin Xuan to intercept.
Naturally, Lin Xuan cannot maintain top speed when flying long distances. Now his speed is comparable to that of an ordinary ninth-level Martial King. This allows him to continue flying for a longer period of time. In terms of long time, it is more effective than flying at top speed over a short distance and then resting to recover his true energy.
The normal speed of the ninth-level Martial King was naturally intercepted by the three opponents.
As the distance got closer, Lin Xuan's eyes fell on the three ninth-level Martial Kings, and when he saw their figures clearly, his eyes condensed slightly and stopped in the sky.
Enemies meet on a narrow road!
Lin Xuan had seen the three ninth-level Martial Kings in front of them in the East Ji Territory.
It was when the Hidden King's Secret Realm opened that year that three ninth-level Martial Kings who were forcibly sent into the Hidden King's Secret Realm were three young geniuses from the outside world.
The three young geniuses from the outside world all died in the Hidden King's Secret Realm.
These three ninth-level Martial Kings once tried to take Lin Xuan's life because of this, but were defeated by Zhenhai Dragon King's super strength.
Unexpectedly... I met him here today. The other party obviously blocked him on purpose. This made Lin Xuan a little confused. How did they know that they would pass by here?
Xia Jinglei, Xia Heifeng, and Xia Baofeng also saw Lin Xuan's figure clearly.
But...the three of them obviously couldn't connect the ninth-level Martial King in front of them with Lin Xuan, whom they met outside the Hidden King's Secret Realm two years ago.
What a huge difference!
At the two-year mark, Lin Xuan came out of the Hidden King Secret Realm and was still a master of the God Refining Realm. He had not even entered the Flying Heaven Realm.
Now, Lin Xuan is the ninth-level Martial King.
Even if the three of them felt that Lin Xuan's appearance looked familiar, they would never put the ninth-level Martial King in front of them together with the God Refining Grandmaster from two years ago.
"Boy! Where are you from and where are you going?"
"I'll wait here and lend you a head to use!"
"Be obedient and surrender your head, otherwise your life will be worse than death!"
Xia Jinglei, Xia Heishan, and Xia Baofeng spoke one after another with cold eyes and murderous intent.
The surging aura of the ninth-level Martial King, superimposed together, was like an overwhelming force, locking Lin Xuan in with one person's energy.
Lin Xuan looked calm, looked at the three of them, and said calmly: "Thunder King, Black Mountain King, Storm King, how did you know that I was passing by here and stopped here?"
