Chapter 155: Undercurrent
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The entire Northern Region was in a state of panic.
Wherever the Sunset Monarchy passed, not only would they exterminate the sects, they would also not let go of the mortal cultivators and rogue cultivators on the way!
What shocked and puzzled everyone was that the corpses of the rogue cultivators and mortals were left with nothing but skin.
There was no flesh or bones! It was as if someone had drained them dry, which caused people to panic.
They began to escape from the Northern Region and headed to other regions.
Behind the battle line, Huang Yitong also received the news and looked at Huang Tianming who was cultivating calmly.
At this moment, he was a little unfamiliar with Huang Tianming.
Huang Yitong frowned and said, “Tianming, your actions are too much.”
Huang Tianming closed his eyes and replied slowly, “Why?”
“This is not beneficial to the Sunset Monarchy’s future position in the Northern Region.”
“Even if we rule the entire Northern Region, well lose the hearts of the people!”
Hearing this, Huang Tianming opened his eyes and sneered. “People’s hearts? What is that?” Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs N0velFire.ɴet
Huang Yitong was stunned.
“In this world, only the strong have the right to speak.”
“The weak can only be slaughtered by others. As long as they are strong enough and their fists are big enough, so what if they don’t have the support of the people?”
“Doesn’t everyone else have to submit to you?”
Huang Yitong’s expression was dark. Even he did not recognize Huang Tianming anymore.
However, the current Huang Yitong could not say anything else. He could only sigh and say, “Tianming, the establishment of a dynasty not only requires strength, it also the hearts of the people. I hope you can understand this.”
Huang Tianming did not respond.
However, he scoffed at Huang Yitong’s words.
Not to mention that he did not care about the life and death of the Sunset Monarchy at all.
Even so, as long as he had the strength, how could he not be able to gain a foothold?
On the other side, in the Cottage.
Everyone started cultivating again.
After Mu Wan’er returned from the mystic realm, she began to study medicinal pills even more diligently.
She had many strange ideas and refined many useful medicinal pills.
Ning Chenxin closed himself in his room and thought about his own Dao. What should he do in the future?
On the other hand, Blackie headed for the Northern Region.
After the mystic realm, Blackie had already finished cultivating the first level of the Eternal Demon Body.
The second level required an extremely cold place.
However, there was no extremely cold place in the Southern Region.
Even if it was an Ice Sword Spirit, an ordinary Ice Intent Realm could not be called extreme cold.
According to Hong Ying, there could be such a place at the extreme north of the Northern Region.
Blackie set off for the extreme cold of the Northern Region to temper his body and cultivate the Eternal Demon Body.
Hong Ying, on the other hand, cultivated all day long to recover her strength as soon as possible.
Ye Qiubai was also cultivating.
However, Mu Ziqing could tell that Ye Qiubai was not calm.
He would often look in the direction of the Northern Region while cultivating.
At this moment, Ye Qiubai finished his cultivation and looked in the direction of the Northern Region. He could not help but sigh deeply.
Mu Ziqing walked forward and sat cross-legged beside Ye Qiubai. She said gently, “What’s wrong? Are you thinking about the Northern Region again?”
Ye Qiubai smiled bitterly and nodded.
The Sunset Monarchy was a knot in his heart.
It was also his first target.
He had once said it with a sword in his hand.
In the future, he would hold the sword and flatten the setting sun!
Right now, the Sunset Monarchy had launched a war to unify the Northern Region.
They had made life difficult for the people, it was not a kind act.
However, if he encountered any injustice, it would also help to resolve it.
Mu Ziqing seemed to have seen through Ye Qiubai’s thoughts and comforted him, “I think Dean Qin and Senior Lu are right. What you need now is to increase your strength.”
“The current you is not enough to change the outcome of the battle after all.”
Ever since she solved the problem of her physique, Mu Ziqing’s realm was also improving rapidly.
Ye Qiubai smiled bitterly and said, “How can I not know this? However, I can’t calm down and have no way to resolve it.”
For that matter, Mu Ziqing couldn’t help Ye Qiubai resolve the knot in his heart.
On the side, Lu Changsheng looked at Ye Qiubai and said, “Alright, don’t think about it anymore. Come with me.”
With that, Lu Changsheng stood up and walked to the back of the cottage.
Ye Qiubai was stunned before following.
Behind the Cottage was a deep mountain.
As Lu Changsheng walked deeper into the mountains, he came to a waterfall.
The scale of the waterfall was not large.
However, the water flow was very intense.
It smashed into the lake like a falling meteor, causing countless splashes.
It formed a water-colored curtain and in the water-colored curtain was a huge rock.
Countless sword marks, spear holes, and fist marks were engraved on the huge rock.
However, the huge rock still stood in the middle of the lake.
It stood tall and upright. Under the torrent of the waterfall, there were no signs of corrosion!
Lu Changsheng walked to the side of the lake and pointed at the boulder. “That boulder is where the old man told the disciples to cultivate.”
Ye Qiubai was stunned before he reacted.
It was the previous owner of the Cottage.
“You can practice your swordsmanship on that boulder. I’ll allow you to head to the Northern Region when you can carve more than a hundred sword marks on that boulder.”
Ye Qiubai nodded. He leaped up and arrived on the huge rock.
However, he had only just stood on the boulder.
The torrential waterfall crashed down!
It smashed into Ye Qiubai’s body!
Ye Qiubai’s expression changed. The torrential waterfall was as heavy as 5,000 kilograms. When it struck his body, his body could feel intense pain!
Furthermore, even an ordinary person would not be able to stand firmly on it!
“Oh, that’s right. 1 can only use wooden swords.”
Hearing Lu Changsheng’s words…
Ye Qiubai gritted his teeth and took out his wooden sword. He wanted to swing his sword, but when he swung his sword, he was unable to stand firm because of the rapid waterfall.
He fell into the lake!
Ye Qiubai’s expression was solemn. He broke out of the water and stood on the huge rock again.
However, the situation was still the same as before.
He couldn’t even stand still.
Seeing this, Lu Changsheng let out a sigh of relief.
This waterfall was extraordinary to begin with. There was a weight array engraved in it.
Moreover, after his modifications, the strength of this Weight Array was even stronger than before.
It was to let Ye Qiubai stay in the Cottage.
Don’t go out and cause trouble for me!
What happened in the Northern Region had nothing to do with him.
Otherwise, Ye Qiubai would definitely cause a lot of trouble if he went to the Northern Region. At that time, he would have to clean up after him.
It was not easy for him to stop cultivating. He would let him cultivate here first.
Lu Changsheng thought.
He looked at Ye Qiubai, who had fallen into the lake again, and nodded in satisfaction.
He turned around and left.
It should be enough for Ye Qiubai to cultivate for a while, right?
A month passed quickly.
The battle in the Northern Region was still tragic.
However, because the various factions had joined forces, therefore, there were fewer incidents like the destruction of the sect.
The Sunset Monarchy had also made a corresponding plan.
The troops split into three groups.
It was led by the three experts under Huang Yitong.
They surrounded and intercepted the various factions of the Northern Region.
There were three coffins beside the three experts.
To prevent the experts of the Northern Region from launching a surprise attack,
Huang Yitong was in charge of the palace.
Huang Tianming, on the other hand, was ambushing them in the dark.
Instantly, the various factions of the Northern Region could not come up with a corresponding plan!
