C391 The Start of the Chaos
The situation in the world was in turmoil because of Qu Qiong's death. The undercurrents between the forces of the ten princes had affected the major sects and even the major families.
The conflict between the Vast Sky Sect, Celestial Sword Sect, and Cloud Sky Palace and the academy had reached a boiling point. It could even be said that it was a fierce battle.
After Qu Qiong's death, there were also occasional news of Formless Stage experts dying. They either died in the fierce battle between the sects or were killed by the demonic devils of Demon God Sect and Heaven Shrouding Alliance.
There were even some black label assassins who tried to assassinate a Formless Stage warrior. The battle broke out within the city, and there were even some who were killed at the cost of their lives. According to the legends, with the help of the assassins, they succeeded in assassinating Taoist of Formless Stage.
The world was in an uproar.
It caused the Hunyuan Dynasty to be furious. The various city protection armies suppressed all directions, and even the White Dragon Guards of the Emperor of the Hunyuan Dynasty, the Chaos Origin Heavenly Lord, appeared. They killed all the small fries and sects that challenged the laws of the empire. Even Taoist of Formless Stage would be killed.
However, because of the secret competition between the ten princes and the danger of the empire, it seemed like it would be difficult to truly suppress the experts of the large sects.
It actually caused the situation to become even more strange and chaotic.
The Lords of a prefecture were at least Formless Stage, but they were still unable to suppress the chaotic situation in the prefecture. They could only barely maintain order.
However, Lee Yihong had no idea about what was happening outside, and he wouldn't pay any attention to it. Instead, he focused all of his attention on the Dao Circulating Pill in order to break through to the Formless Stage.
However, there were countless powers secretly paying attention to the Laucheng in Qingzhou Prefecture's Nanyang Prefecture, the Li Clan's Hao Clan, which was the core disciple of the academy, Lee Yihong.
There were even assassins with black cards who snuck in, wanting to find out more information about Lee Yihong. However, none of them came out. One after another, assassins disappeared from the Li Clan's Hao Clan. There were about six or seven of them, which made some of the powers who wanted to spy on the Li Clan feel afraid.
It also caused many powers to secretly speculate about the scariness of the Li Clan. When the news of Lee Yihong's disappearance in the academy and breaking through to the Formless Stage spread, the academy and even the Third Prince Yuan Ye, who had formed an alliance with Lee Yihong, would increase their protection of the Li Clan.
There were also many major powers who didn't care about the oppression of the Hundred Tribulations Hall and secretly befriended the Li Family.
"Master of the Lee family, a son must have a father. Yihong has shocked everyone in the world. It has only been a few days since you stepped into the Nirvana Stage, but your body has already shrunk to the size of a fist. I'm afraid it won't take long for you to step into the intermediate Nirvana Stage."
In the living room of the Li Family, a middle-aged man with a steady aura was holding a teacup and looking at Lee Yihong's father, Lee Aotian with a smile on his face.
"I have to thank Master Qiu for coming. Not only did he kill two geniuses from the Sansheng Taoist Sect, he also protected me for a hundred days. Aotian is truly grateful for that."
"Otherwise, even if I have already seen the mysteries of the Heaven Man Unity, it would be difficult for me to reach the Heaven Man Unity realm in such a short period of time, and I wouldn't have the time to break through."
With a dignified expression, Lee Aotian's eyes fell upon the stars, and he cupped his fist and bowed deeply towards the middle-aged man who had a steady aura. A subtle aura was constantly merging with the heavens and the earth from his body.
He had actually reached the Nirvana Stage.
The middle-aged man who had a calm and steady aura was the patriarch of the Qiu family of Tianyang City, Qiu Ting, who was a Late Period of Nirvana Stage warrior. Surprisingly, he was also in the Li Family of Laucheng. He had even brought Lee Aotian the heads of two assassins from the Sansheng Taoist Sect who had hunted down Lee Yihong.
"There's no need for that, Lee family Lord. Killing two assassins from the Sansheng Taoist Sect is nothing. Even without me, ordinary Nirvana Stage assassins won't be able to get close to your Li Family. This is the heavily guarded Prefecture."
"Hua ~!"
As Qiu Ting spoke, he glanced at the highest building within the Li Family a thousand meters away from the living room. On top of that building, there was a Nirvana Stage warrior wearing a black soft armor who looked like a guard.
As if he had sensed something. The man wearing the soft armor on the building immediately glanced in the direction of the living room, but he retracted his gaze without a trace and closed his eyes again to rest on the building.
"Hua ~!"
However, Qiu Ting's expression became more and more fierce as he looked at the row of ancient shelves behind Lee Aotian. He saw a shrunken woman sitting cross-legged on the ancient shelves. She had a solemn expression, but there was a charming look in her eyes, which made Qiu Ting's sharp eyes flash with a trace of fear and seriousness.
Putting aside the Unshakeable Stage guards in the Li Family, there were two Nirvana Stage warriors in the Li Family alone, and even Qiu Ting was shocked by their Late Period of Nirvana Stage cultivation base.
"Hehe, they are all sincere people who came to protect me."
Lee Aotian couldn't help but look at the mysterious and charming girl behind him and smile.
She shrunk her body and sat cross-legged on the ancient rack as if she was cultivating. She was the female assassin of the Sansheng Taoist Sect, Yue Que, who was branded with the soul imprint of Xuan Hui, the strongest assassin of the Sansheng Taoist Sect, the female assassin of the Sun Moon Star.
"To tell you the truth, the one outside is the night guard sent by Third Prince Yuan Ye to guard Laucheng. He is the night guard of the Lee family."
"This friend Yue Que gave me a fright when she first arrived. If it wasn't because of the message left by Yihong,i wouldn't have believed that a Late Period of Nirvana Stage assassin from the Sansheng Taoist Sect would come here to protect the Lee family."
Lee Aotian shook his head slightly and looked at the ancient rack behind him with a sigh. The charming female assassin from the Sansheng Taoist Sect, Yue Que, was carved out of white jade.
However, when Lee Aotian retracted his gaze, a bright light flashed across his eyes. When Yue Que arrived and claimed that she was Lee Yihong's master, Lee Aotian was shocked by her arrival. At the same time, he started to teach Laucheng a lesson.
"It was precisely because of the help of Fellow Daoist Yue Que that I was able to unify Laucheng in just a few days. I even lured out three Nirvana Stage experts who were hiding in Laucheng and were killed on the spot by Yue Que."
"Right now, the Laucheng is flourishing and developing. It has expanded in all directions, and everyone in the Xiangcheng City can cultivate. Whether it is disabled, beggars, or Humble Class children, all of them are able to read and write in the Dao-Seeking Tower. Those with talent can cultivate and even learn martial skills."
"What we lack the most now is time. If the Laucheng is given ten years or twenty years of credit, it won't be long before it becomes one of the top ten or even the top three city in the Nanyang Prefecture." Lee Aotian said with a divine light, "My heart of martial arts needs everyone to be like a dragon. The current willow is the true dragon of everyone. In a hundred years, it will definitely affect the entire Nanyang Prefecture."
Lee Aotian's eyes were filled with power and excitement.
"Oh, everyone is like a dragon?"
Qiu Ting was shocked when he heard this. He could not help but look deeply at Lee Aotian.
"Master of Lee family, your Dao heart is really grand. It seems like it has catered to the current situation. This is a gathering of the wind and clouds. The current situation creates heroes, and it's also because it allows the people of Laucheng to read and practice martial arts. It allows your mind to become clear and your thoughts to be developed. "
"If this continues,i think it won't be long before you can comprehend the artistic conception of the Truth Path!"
Qiu Ting's eyes lit up when he felt Lee Aotian's heart of martial arts. He was shocked. Such a figure was placed in the sect. They're all top geniuses.
"Hua ~!"
Yue Que, who was sitting cross-legged behind Lee Aotian, who had shrunk her body but still looked charming, opened her eyes slightly. She looked at Lee Aotian and Qiu Ting, then closed her eyes again.
The Li family, which was the highest building in Laucheng City, was called the guard of Ye 47 by Lee Aotian. He also glanced in the direction of the living room.
"Haha, this is all thanks to Yihong."
Lee Aotian hurriedly restrained his aura, but he couldn't hide the excitement in his eyes. He was able to comprehend the unity of heaven and earth so quickly, and he clearly understood what his Dao heart was. It was all because of the calligraphy piece that Lee Yihong left behind that contained an artistic conception of the Truth Path!
"Oh,brother Li's contribution?" Qiu Ting was a little surprised.
"Master Qiu. You have a good relationship with Yihong, and our families have already formed an alliance. Now that the situation has changed,i can show you the calligraphy piece that Yihong left behind that contains an artistic conception of the Truth Path. "
"Although you have already reached the Late Period of Nirvana Stage, and you have a supreme grade magic weapon, the Five Elements Mountain, you might be able to benefit from this calligraphy."
Lee Aotian slightly nodded his head. A bright light flashed across his eyes. A look that could make anyone feel like a dragon was looking at him, and anyone who saw it would be subdued.
"Oh, it contains the calligraphy of an artistic conception of the Truth Path!"
Qiu Ting's eyes lit up. He was a little curious about the calligraphy works left by Lee Yihong, but he did not have a trace of greed. If the Five Elements Mountain was willing to give a top-grade magic weapon to Lee Yihong, how could they be greedy for a piece of Lee Yihong's calligraphy work?
"Madam, go to the secret chamber and get the calligraphy left by Yihong."
Lee Aotian said to the dignified and elegant Lin Xue, who was sitting at the side with a smile but did not speak.
"Yes,master Qiu, please wait a moment."
"Hua ~!"
Lin Xue, who had a graceful and elegant body, had already drifted out of the living room with light steps. In Qiu Ting and Lee Aotian's eyes, although her movement technique was not worth mentioning, she already had the aura of an Unshakeable Stage.
Not only had Lee Aotian broken through, but also Lee Yihong's mother, Lin Xue, had also broken through to the true qi realm. She had also broken through to the Unshakeable Stage without being tempted.
Although the Laucheng still had the ten major families, major powers,shang Jia, and even some secret strongholds, no one dared to challenge Lee Aotian, the city lord.
The ten major families all followed Lee Aotian's lead. Even Jih Biefeng of the Ji Family, who was under the care of some core disciples of Hundred Tribulations Hall because of Jih Youyin, and Yuchi Lingye of the Yuchi Hao Family, who was under the protection of the Celestial Sword Sect's Nirvana Stage Spiritual Master, could only bow their heads to Lee Aotian.
Especially when two Late Period of Nirvana Stage warriors appeared next to Lee Aotian one after another. They killed a few Nirvana Stage warriors with lightning speed, and Lee Aotian himself had already broken through to the next realm. He had a good relationship with Qin Yu, and Qiu Ting would appear from time to time.
Even the assassins of Blood Moon Tower wouldn't dare to act rashly in Laucheng.
No matter if it was Lee Aotian's current cultivation base, Lee Aotian's status as the City Lord of Laucheng, or the experts of the Li Family, they were all comparable to the top families of Nanyang Prefecture, or even the top families of Qingzhou Prefecture.
Adding the deterrence of the academy and the increasingly powerful Third Prince Yuan Ye, the people of Hundred Tribulations Hall didn't dare to easily deal with Lee Aotian, and the Celestial Sword Sect wouldn't easily offend Third Prince Yuan Ye.
Not to mention the existence of Master of Qingzhou Prefecture. Everyone knew that Master of Qingzhou Prefecture was on good terms with Third Prince Yuan Ye. Simply put, the entire Qingzhou Prefecture was filled with the forces of Third Prince Yuan Ye.
At this moment, no one would challenge the City Lord of Laucheng, Lee Aotian.
Furthermore, not only was Lee Yihong a core disciple of the academy, his cultivation base was already at the Late Period of Nirvana Stage. There was also a new rumor that Lee Yihong had already broken through to the Formless Stage in the academy.
This news had even shocked the young geniuses of many sects.
Lee Yihong, who was reputed to be a peerless genius of the academy, was still the center of attention even though he had gone into seclusion and disappeared for a long time.
As time passed, although his popularity had settled down, it made people look forward to it even more.
