Judging from the traces at the scene, the Sun and Moon Army must have been annihilated.
This news shocked everyone currently, as to what kind of power could have wiped out Great Zhou’s most elite force, leaving not even one survivor.
Could there be an extremely powerful force lurking in the shadows?
All the forces became vigilant.
A top-tier army of Great Zhou, silently wiped out, nobody would believe there were no issues involved.
However, the other two armies were subsequently found after a deliberate search.
The Zhou Tian Army seemed to have already been overtaken by a power, though it was uncertain which one; it could be confirmed to be the Great Zhou Imperial Family.
As for the Heavenly Blue Army, they remained stationary at their garrison, seemingly uninterested in all the contention.
Until one day, a person in white descended from Beihua State and entered the camp of the Heavenly Blue Army.
Not long after, Divine Lady Peak released a message, Divine Lady Peak’s goddess had a revelation from the heavens.
“The heavens are aware of the sufferings of the people, bestowing upon Divine Lady Peak the duty of choosing an emperor on behalf of the heavens, disciples of Divine Lady Peak to enter the world, to seek the person destined by heaven, to establish the next dynasty.”
The message sent out by Divine Lady Peak directly exposed Great Zhou’s shame.
Although there are still many members of the Imperial Family in Great Zhou, apart from the missing Crown Prince, there is no longer a direct lineage; even King Yong Nian who took over Shuzhou was just one of the collateral lines.
But now the status of the imperial family is of no use anymore.
Divine Lady Peak spread such a treasonous message, yet no one set out to punish them, signifying the complete downfall of Great Zhou.
Unless someone from the Great Zhou Imperial Family emerges victorious, but other forces will not allow this opportunity.
Great Zhou, can now be declared completely extinct.
“Choosing an emperor on behalf of the heavens?”
Wang Sheng, of course, also learned of this message and his lips revealed a hint of a cold smile.
Divine Lady Peak was indeed formidable, even knowing how to occupy the moral high ground.
Even if those powerful forces take it lightly, the common people are very easy to be misled.
With just a little maneuvering, Divine Lady Peak could make all the forces in the world uncomfortable.
Such tactics are extremely disgusting, and perhaps many forces have yet to realize some of these things. By the time they react, Divine Lady Peak might have already gained a huge advantage.
“Never underestimate anyone.”
As for other news, he was naturally aware of it.
The alliance of Spirit Sword Valley and Heavenly Saber City was defeated a month ago and still has no way to challenge the checkpoint at Jiangyuan City.
It’s even hard to gather so many people again to confront them in the short term.
It seems the storm has passed.
But even with incomplete information, Wang Sheng understood that things were not so simple.
The apparent calmness is deceiving, but the undercurrents are getting more and more turbulent.
It’s only temporarily calm now because there are no good solutions.
But Spirit Sword Valley and Heavenly Saber City will definitely not give up so easily.
It’s very likely they will start from the top.
As long as King Yong Nian is dealt with, all the problems will be solved smoothly.
Wang Sheng also felt a sense of urgency within.
Next, it will mostly likely see the outbreak of battles at the Grandmaster level.
Although it may not affect him, he wouldn’t bet on it.
And now, if he wants to greatly enhance his power, the most hopeful method is actually to increase the strength of his blood.
The progress of his Blood Qi Smoke is already over eighty percent.
He was just over ten percent away from reaching the next realm.
Under the integration of the Inner Core Skill and the Five Internal Organs Containing God, the strength of his blood, which served as the foundation of his power, only needed a significant enhancement for the quality and intensity of his Qi-Blood Power to improve.
The improvement of Qi-Blood Power was also related to the progress of “Refining Essence to Qi, Refining.”
By then, both his Divine Thought and the strength of his physique would see a great improvement.
The progress bar for the Five Internal Organs Containing God and his True Body didn’t need to be checked to know it would grow.
This was an overall improvement, all of which contributed to an increase in strength.
Because of the presence of “momentum,” his power had already reached the critical point of a Great Grandmaster.
Under such circumstances, as long as he reached the next realm of Blood Qi Smoke.
At that time, he would surely not fear facing a Great Grandmaster.
This was also the realm most likely to be reached in a short amount of time, of course, and this so-called short time was relative to his other skills.
After all, both the Five Internal Organs Containing God and True Body required a great deal of time.
According to the progress, the only significant enhancement possible in a relatively short period of time would be blood strength.
“Let’s dedicate some time to focus on Ba Duan Jin!”
Having undergone numerous adjustments, whether Ba Duan Jin still counted as such was something even Wang Sheng didn’t have a clear answer for.
However, since it was the skill that had helped him escape many predicaments, Wang Sheng had never considered changing its name and continued to refer to it as Ba Duan Jin.
After shifting his focus to Ba Duan Jin, the progress bar for Ba Duan Jin accelerated.
But correspondingly, progress on the Inner Core Skill and other Cultivation Techniques slowed down.
However, the most important thing at the moment was the need for a powerful combat force to face various situations; this was the best choice.
Spirit Sword Valley and Heavenly Saber City were certain to initiate the next battle soon.
Shuzhou would not remain tranquil for long.
And the real situation was just as Wang Sheng had speculated; these two powers were the closest to Shuzhou and thus very clear about the actual state of Shuzhou.
It could be said to be a land full of Spiritual Medicine, with numerous opportunities.
Even if they ultimately couldn’t monopolize Shuzhou, they had to get their share of the spoils.
Resources, something every power was lacking.
Especially the current Shuzhou, which seemed to be in a nascent state with many Medicine Kings emerging.
The people from both powers were very tempted.
However, Jiangyuan City had no way to make a breakthrough for the time being, so the people from both forces decided to organize a group of over a hundred individuals to secretly enter the borders of Shuzhou in search of rare resources.
These hundred-odd people were not those scattered individuals entering Shuzhou in search of opportunities.
They had specialized treasure-seeking devices in their hands.
Such devices could find places dense with Spiritual Medicine, then carry out a search, their efficiency unknowably higher than that of ordinary Martial Artists.
“Our only goal in entering Shuzhou is to search for resources, try not to cause trouble, and avoid getting close to the core force areas of King Yong Nian until the main army invades.”
The leader knew it would be difficult to restrain these Martial Artists.
King Yong Nian was already consciously limiting the powers of Martial Artists who wanted to enter Shuzhou.
Heavenly Saber City and Spirit Sword Valley were under his close watch; many of the people they sent into Shuzhou had been removed, and entering Shuzhou had cost both forces quite a lot.
Everyone knew that there was a lot to gain from entering this time, and they needed to compete for benefits, so it was practically impossible to truly restrain these individuals.
But as the leader, he still needed to issue a reminder.
If they sought their own deaths, that would be no concern of his.
“The maps in your hands have marked some places that might have strong individuals; entering those areas discreetly is fine, but if you act recklessly, you’ll bear the consequences… Now, follow me into Shuzhou…”
