My blind date failed, so I had to ascend the throne and become emperor.

Chapter 193 - A Disaster for the Country and the People

Before going into seclusion for spiritual practice.

There are still many things to prepare.

First and foremost, the spiritual vein cave needed for cultivation must be resolved as soon as possible. The third-order spiritual veins at Black Crow Lake are sufficient for cultivators like Chen Xue, Tian Xiaoqin, and Jiang Xia, but far from enough for Zhou Ping.

Although he possesses immortal energy within him, the spiritual energy from the external veins is also extremely important.

So the next ten years.

While cultivating the secret technique of male-female co-cultivation given by the Phoenix Fairy, Zhou Ping also cultivated with Jiang Xia, Chen Xue, Tian Xiaoqin and others. He also took Zhu Xiaoyue, who had feelings for him, into his life. So far, he had four concubines by his side. If you include those who were related to him, that would be five. It's just a pity that the beautiful woman in black armor has not been heard from since the last time he went to the Lotus Pond.

While his strength was rapidly increasing, he took advantage of the chaos in the Crimson Cloud Mountains to directly attack the Canglan Sect, a demonic sect that possessed fourth-order spiritual veins. The Canglan Sect was considered relatively strong among the Nascent Soul cultivators in the Crimson Cloud Mountains, but when faced with a monstrous talent like Zhou Ping, the two Nascent Soul Grandmasters in the sect were wiped out in a single exchange, and the rest could only submit.

Thus, Huangling Mountain, led by Zhou Ping, easily took over the territory of the Demonic Path Canglan Sect, and its sphere of influence suddenly expanded.

Upon hearing this news, the Golden Core cultivators of Chiyunfang were so shocked that they were speechless. They were still worried about the expansion of Huangling Mountain and Black Crow Lake, but the other side directly occupied Canglan Sect!

That's a powerful force at the Nascent Soul stage!

The entire Chiyunfang area combined is no match for the Canglan Sect.

react.

Whether it was the Crimson Cloud Merchant Alliance or the Foundation Establishment and Core Formation forces like the Le Xiang Pavilion, they all abandoned their idea of ​​secretly joining forces to fight against Huangling Mountain and hurriedly came to offer their congratulations. However, in just over ten years, Zhou Ping had become a completely different person, and these Foundation Establishment and Core Formation forces were not even qualified to see him.

Only those with a good relationship with the person can enter Black Crow Lake.

After taking over the Canglan Sect.

Zhou Ping then planned to go into seclusion with Jiang Xia to fully absorb and digest the immortal energy in their bodies. This time, they might have to cultivate together for decades, and he wouldn't have time to accompany Chen Xue, Tian Xiaoqin, and Zhu Xiaoyue. Therefore, before going into seclusion, he devised a cultivation plan for the three women and used the national fortune virtual frame to enhance three cultivation techniques suitable for them. In addition, he used his innate divine abilities to improve their aptitude.

"How much their cultivation can increase over these decades depends on their own fate!"

Looking at the three women.

He murmured.

Of the four women currently by his side, Jiang Xia is undoubtedly the strongest in terms of strength and cultivation, while Chen Xue, Tian Xiaoqin, and the newly recruited Zhu Xiaoyue are relatively weak.

However, spending these decades in the Canglan Sect was undoubtedly the best time for cultivation.

All miscellaneous tasks have been completed.

He then officially went into seclusion to cultivate alongside Jiang Xia.

The affairs within the sect were still handled by the steward, Xue Dier.

……

The years are long.

A century has passed in the blink of an eye.

Since several Nascent Soul Realm cultivators perished in the Lotus Pond, the Crimson Cloud Mountain Range has become increasingly chaotic. It was already a chaotic place of cultivation, with demons, righteous cultivators, and demonic cultivators all mixed together. However, each sect still had certain rules within its territory, but now there are no rules at all. Cultivators are fighting and killing each other everywhere, vying for resources and territory.

In particular, the demon race and demon cultivators led by Jiaolong Valley took the opportunity to expand rapidly because they did not go to Lotus Pond, and besieged the righteous path and the demonic path, causing some promising Nascent Soul stage cultivators to have to leave the Crimson Cloud Mountain Range.

However, the Crimson Cloud Mountain Range is quite vast, and the Flood Dragon Valley will need time to digest the cultivation land it occupies. Moreover, their main attack areas are the Crimson Bright Mountain and the Demon Lake. As for the Canglan Sect where Zhou Ping is located, although it is also quite chaotic, the demon forces like the Flood Dragon Valley have not yet affected this area.

In addition, Zhou Ping's strength in annihilating two Nascent Soul cultivators from the Canglan Sect was so terrifying that no one dared to provoke the new Canglan Sect.

This day.

Above the verdant mountains.

Several streaks of light flashed by and landed on the mountainside.

As the light faded.

The figures of five male and female cultivators were revealed. One of the female cultivators wore a veil, but her figure was full and rounded, especially her breasts, which were quite impressive, and her hips were as alluring as honey.

If someone at the Nascent Soul stage were here, they would immediately recognize that this woman possesses a plump, delicate, and icy-skinned body. However, if one has exceptional insight and experience, they could also discern an even deeper level of rare Ice Phoenix Body.

"We can't catch up with those demon cultivators from Jiaolong Valley for now. Two hundred miles ahead is the territory of Canglan Mountain. It used to be the territory of the Canglan Sect, but it was later occupied by a mysterious expert and became the territory of Huangling Mountain of Chiyunfang. As long as we enter its territory, we don't need to fear the demon cultivators from Jiaolong Valley."

The composed-looking, burly man glanced at the veiled woman and asked, "Junior Sister Yu Die, how are your injuries?"

Soon a soft voice rang out, "Senior Brother Feng, I'm fine. It's just that I used some methods earlier, which took a lot of effort."

Among the other three cultivators, one of the Golden Core cultivators couldn't help but ask, "Fellow Daoist Feng, why are those demon cultivators from Jiaolong Valley so closely pursuing Fellow Daoist Yudie?"

The cultivator surnamed Feng hesitated and said, "Junior Sister Yu Die has a special physique, which is beneficial for those demon cultivators to break through their bottlenecks. That's why they are chasing after us so relentlessly. As long as the three of you escape this calamity and settle down, I will definitely reward you handsomely."

The other three nodded in agreement. They could also tell that the veiled woman had a rather alluring figure, and if they got closer, they could even smell a special fragrance that could make their magical power flow more smoothly.

This effect is clearly only achievable with a special constitution.

"Can Canglan Mountain really withstand Jiaolong Valley...? Right now, in the Chixia Mountain Range, Jiaolong Valley is practically the only dominant force. Chiming Mountain and Demon Lake have to retreat. If we're fleeing all the way and even Canglan Mountain can't hold us off, then we really have nowhere to go!"

The short monk sighed.

The cultivator surnamed Feng gritted his teeth and said, "It's definitely possible. Besides, the claws of the Flood Dragon Valley aren't that far away. It's only some of the demon cultivators who are chasing us."

"Alright, let's get back to normal quickly."

After a while.

Sensing the aura of the demon cultivators behind them, they immediately fled again.

Two hundred miles is a distance that these Golden Core cultivators can cover in a short time. However, as soon as they entered the territory of Canglan Mountain, the demon cultivators behind them caught up.

Whoosh.

A large amount of bluish-red gas spread out, quickly enveloping the cultivator surnamed Feng, the female cultivator Yu Die, and three other male and female cultivators.

The two women and three men were immediately trapped by the gas.

Immediately afterwards, array flags fell rapidly all around, forming the Azure Dragon Array, a well-known formation in Jiaolong Valley. This array faintly gathered an azure dragon, which circled and roared above the array, generating a pressure no less than that of a Nascent Soul cultivator.

The expressions of Yu Die and the cultivator surnamed Feng, who were enveloped by the formation, all became solemn.

One of the cultivators, surnamed Feng, used his magical power to shake the area, saying, "This is Canglan Mountain's territory. You demon cultivators dare to make a move here. Aren't you afraid of offending Canglan Mountain?!"

"Hahaha, what a joke! In the entire Crimson Cloud Mountain Range, who dares to stop the actions of Jiaolong Valley!"

"What kind of bullshit Canglan Mountain is this? When they see my Jiaolong Valley, they'll only kneel down and beg for mercy. You bunch of bastards, hand over that woman right now!"

These demon cultivators were merely humans practicing demonic arts, but judging from their appearance and demeanor, three of the seven pursuers had completely transformed into demons. However, the more completely transformed they were, the stronger they became. Seeing that they remained unmoved...

The short monk asked, "What should we do!"

Wearing a veil, Yu Die gently bit her red lips. "I can no longer use that kind of secret technique. If all else fails, just hand me over!"

The cultivator surnamed Feng resolutely said, "No, junior sister, we barely escaped with our lives. Even if I die, I will not let you fall into the demon's den."

The other three, however, had different expressions. They didn't want to perish with them. They had no choice but to flee before, but now that they had reached the edge of Canglan Mountain, they had a chance to survive. If they were to die here, it would be a tragedy.

But during their conversation...

In the distance, streaks of sword light suddenly appeared.

Several breaths.

These sword lights then descended around the Azure Dragon Formation.

"They are cultivators from Canglan Mountain!"

The cultivator surnamed Feng was overjoyed.

He had previously used his magical power to create a disturbance in order to attract the attention of the cultivators of Canglan Mountain. He had been to Canglan Mountain once before, and it left a very special impression on him. Even at the borders of its territory, there were always patrolling cultivators on regular patrols.

The territory was extremely safe, and no cultivator dared to cause trouble here. Even if there were cultivators who were about to undergo a tribulation, they would be caught quickly. It could be said that cultivation here was well-organized and operated in a stable manner. If he hadn't had important matters to attend to at the time, he would have considered settling down here.

The newcomers were the patrol team.

The squad leader, who was in charge, said, "This is the territory of Canglan Mountain, which is under the jurisdiction of my New Han Sect. Any cultivator who enters this place is absolutely not allowed to fight or engage in chaotic battles. This is the rule. You must immediately remove the formation!"

Upon hearing this, the demon cultivator grinned and said, "How ridiculous! Can't you guys tell that we are cultivators from Jiaolong Valley?"

"Dragon Valley?"

Listen to this.

The squad leader's expression changed drastically.

The Canglan Sect was well aware of the situation in the Crimson Cloud Mountains over the years. Flood Dragon Valley was arguably the strongest force, given that it had a Nascent Soul Realm expert in charge. However, considering the rules of the New Han Sect in the Canglan Mountains, the squad leader still forced himself to say, "No matter which force you belong to, once you arrive here, you must abide by the rules of our New Han Sect!"

Another demon cultivator said impatiently, "Stop wasting your breath on them, they're just a group of Foundation Establishment cultivators!"

The words fell.

The demon cultivator then made his move.

These seven demon cultivators were all at the Golden Core level, and their fighting power was not low. Even though the patrol team was protected by formations and treasures, they were no match for them. However, they still managed to hold out for more than ten breaths and transmit the message to the New Han Sect.

See this scene.

Both Yu Die and the Feng-surnamed cultivator trapped inside the Azure Dragon Formation were in despair.

Meanwhile, Xue Dier, the first deacon of the Canglan Sect, which was originally the Canglan Sect of the demonic path, received the news immediately and arranged for the Golden Core elders of the sect to go and provide support.

Such things have happened from time to time over the years. After all, there are always those who are blind to the rules. However, after a hundred years of development, the new Han Sect is no longer comparable to the original Black Crow Lake. In particular, it has an abundant supply of resources, and even Xue Dier has successfully broken through to the Golden Core stage.

The sect boasts over a hundred Golden Core cultivators, some of whom joined out of admiration, but 60% are former Foundation Establishment cultivators who have broken through to the next level. In addition, there are over a dozen Nascent Soul cultivators, making them incredibly powerful.

In the last twenty years, almost no power in the surrounding area has dared to provoke them.

Whoosh.

The journey from the sect to the border takes only a dozen or so breaths at the speed of a Golden Core cultivator. Upon arrival, Yu Die and the Feng-surnamed cultivators were still struggling to hold on.

Sensing the demonic aura of the demon cultivators, the Golden Core elders who had rushed to the scene immediately used the treasures they carried. Instantly, the Eight Gates Mirror, a magic treasure at the Nascent Soul level, appeared and restrained the seven demon cultivators.

The demon cultivators were no longer maintaining the great formation.

Yu Die and the cultivator surnamed Feng, who were inside the formation, took the opportunity to break through the formation and joined the battle against the seven demon cultivators.

"Fellow Daoists of Canglan Mountain, be careful! These seven demon cultivators are all Golden Core cultivators from Jiaolong Valley. They also possess a combined attack technique that is comparable to the power of a Nascent Soul cultivator!"

The cultivator surnamed Feng reminded him.

The Golden Core elder who arrived to provide support snorted, "These demon cultivators dared to annihilate my New Han Sect's patrol team. Today, they will surely pay for their blood debt!"

Xue Dier also arranged for a Nascent Soul level elder to arrive later to provide backup. Therefore, once this Nascent Soul level elder arrived, the stalemate suddenly turned into a one-sided situation, and the seven demon cultivators were easily dealt with.

The cultivator surnamed Feng and Yu Die immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Because of the involvement of Jiaolong Valley, the five Golden Core cultivators were invited to the sect of Canglan Mountain.

"Fellow Daoists, why are you being hunted down by the demon cultivators of Jiaolong Valley?"

"Snowflake asked."

The cultivator surnamed Feng answered in detail.

"Hmph, you deliberately lured the demon cultivators from Jiaolong Valley into the territory of my New Han Sect, causing my New Han Sect to lose six patrol team cultivators!"

Listen to this.

The cultivator surnamed Feng's expression changed, and he said awkwardly, "Fellow Daoist Xue, I admit that this is indeed my fault. I am willing to pay any price, but please protect my junior sister. She has a special physique and has always been coveted by the Flood Dragon Valley. Now, in the entire Crimson Cloud Mountain Range, only Canglan Mountain can protect her!"

Xue Dier couldn't help but look at Yu Die, who was wearing a veil. "Your figure is quite alluring and seductive. Take off your veil and let me see."

Yu Die hesitated for a moment, then raised her hand and removed the veil that could conceal her identity from being investigated.

And then I saw Yu Die's face.

Xue Dier and the other three cultivators were stunned for a moment.

They never imagined that such a stunningly beautiful woman existed in the world.

She is absolutely stunning.

Even the cultivator surnamed Feng, who had seen Yu Die's face, couldn't help but take a few more glances.

Upon seeing this, Yu Die quickly put her veil back on.

Suddenly, all the surrounding light became dim and colorless.

Xue Dier smiled charmingly, "She really does have a face that could bring ruin to a country, no wonder those demon cultivators all coveted her."
