Having mastered the Daoist arts, you're telling me you're in a world of demons and monster

Rumble!

The thunder in the heavens grew increasingly violent, purple lightning tore through the sky, gales swept across the ground, and dark clouds, like the sky itself collapsing, pressed heavily over Qingshan County, as if they were about to fall into the Milky Way at any moment.

Within the hundred-mile radius of Qingshan County, everyone was astonished, but they only thought it was an unusual celestial phenomenon and did not think much of it.

Outside Jiang Xuanjing's secluded courtyard, Zhao Wuduan was already trembling with shock, his expression changing drastically.

"this……"

Could it be a strange phenomenon caused by the cultivation of a senior?

He couldn't help but think about it.

Jiang Xuanjing had just said he wanted to cultivate when this strange phenomenon suddenly appeared!

"If that's true, then Master Jiang... can only be a highly accomplished Daoist!"

Upon thinking of this, Zhao Wuduan felt an overwhelming surge of excitement.

As a centurion of the Xuanjing Division, he cultivated diligently for many years before finally reaching the fifth realm of martial arts, the state of perfect blood and qi.

With Qi and blood flowing freely throughout the body and mind, generating endless vitality, one can already be considered a skilled practitioner.

While entering the realm of martial arts cultivation is difficult, breaking through it is relatively easy.

Within the Xuanjing Division of Yunzhou, there are countless individuals whose Qi and blood are flawless, and even those who have reached the sixth level of martial arts, Qi and blood transforming into spirit, are not uncommon.

Is it possible to enter the path of Taoism?

The difficulty of directly entering the Dao realm is as difficult as ascending to the heavens!

The vast Xuanjing Division has not had a single Dao-entering expert to suppress it in this Yunzhou Prefecture!

For this reason, Zhao Wuduan had never witnessed the power of a Daoist.

All of it is just speculation and conjecture.

"I wonder whether you attained enlightenment through martial arts or through magical techniques?"

"One should attain enlightenment through martial arts; in this world, there are very few who can attain enlightenment through magic..."

Cultivating magical arts is already incredibly difficult, reaching the initial stage is extremely challenging, breaking through to the next stage is even more difficult, let alone reaching the Dao realm?

It is also more difficult than martial arts!

This is a principle universally acknowledged by practitioners throughout the world.

But it's strange, really.

Even after cultivating magic to such a high level, many of the inheritances are still scattered throughout the world and have not been completely collected.

But martial arts are different.

All superior martial arts techniques were firmly controlled by aristocratic families, sects, and even the imperial court.

Without entering the door, one cannot learn the method, and will not even have the chance to glimpse the path.

It was precisely because of this that the group of demons and monsters hiding in Yu Family Fort were able to manage to capture a few magic cultivators who had developed magical powers.

As Zhao Wuduan was pondering, he suddenly thought of something.

He quickly straightened his robes, carefully examined himself in the bronze mirror to make sure his appearance was proper and there was no disrespect in the slightest, and then slowly walked to the courtyard where Jiang Xuanjing was, stood with his hands at his sides, and waited respectfully.

He remembered clearly that before going into seclusion, Jiang Xuanjing had said that the seclusion would last no more than a few hours.

In this short time, he naturally had to maintain a proper demeanor and dared not be negligent in the slightest.

……

Before long, the Milky Way seemed to collapse, and torrential rain poured down.

Thunder roared across the sky like a divine chariot, and the storm and heavy rain spread rapidly, extending from Qingshan County all the way to the counties under the jurisdiction of Zhangtai Prefecture.

Lu'an, Sanhe...

All the way to Zhangtai Prefecture was shrouded in mist and rain.

In the city

At the top of a tall building.

A tall figure leaned against the railing, gazing into the distance, seemingly taking in the entire city.

She was an extremely alluring woman, with her hair piled high in a bun and a gold hairpin tucked into it at an angle. Her pale white, wide-sleeved dress could not conceal her exquisite figure, her jade-like neck was fair and slender, and her collarbones were delicate and clearly defined.

He was dressed in a bright fur coat, exuding an air of nobility and possessing a dignified and imposing presence.

"Bai Wuyai is dead."

The alluring woman gazed at the raindrops, large as beans, then slowly withdrew her gaze, her expression thoughtful.

"How could this be?"

Behind the woman, a middle-aged man dressed in brocade robes was pouring himself a drink. Upon hearing this, his expression changed drastically, his wine cup paused, and his tone was full of disbelief:

"Doesn't Young Master Bai wear a protective jade amulet bestowed by the King himself? Not to mention within Zhangtai Prefecture, who in the entire Yunzhou could kill him? How could he die so easily?"

If Zhao Wuduan were here, he would recognize at a glance that the person drinking alone was none other than Lü Zongwang, the commander of the Xuanjing Division and his superior.

This man was over forty years old and looked extremely heroic. His martial arts cultivation had already reached the sixth realm. In the Zhangtai Prefecture, there were very few who could rival him.

But now, in front of this woman, he was extremely cautious, not daring to even glance at her out of the corner of his eye.

Everyone in the Xuanjing Division knew that Commander Lü was always lustful, but when faced with this alluring and imposing woman, he dared not even entertain a single romantic thought, as if looking at her for too long would set him on fire.

"How would I know that?"

The alluring woman chuckled, her tone carrying a hint of nonchalant arrogance.

"My good-for-nothing brother is dead, so what? It's not a big deal."

"But he is still a descendant of our father, and we cannot simply ignore him."

"Moreover, he also bears the heavy responsibility entrusted to him by the Moon Department..."

She paused, her gaze darkening slightly, and calmly instructed, "How about this, Lü Zongwang, you take some men and go there yourself."

"You go to investigate as the commander of the Xuanjing Division. Just observe and do nothing. Even if some human expert does kill him, he probably won't easily attack you. That should be enough to protect yourself."

"Remember, if anything happens, contact me immediately."

Upon hearing this, Lü Zongwang's expression suddenly froze.

To be honest, he really didn't want to go.

The fact that a cultivator from Qingshan County could kill Bai Wuyai, and that it happened at this crucial moment, is truly alarming.

Are they those top sect prodigies who have reached the sixth level of magic?

Or……

A powerful cultivator who has entered the Dao realm?

Unfortunately, he is now powerless to control his own destiny.

The woman before him, whom he dared not even glance at, shared the same bloodline as Bai Wuyai as the Heavenly Wolf King, but her cultivation was far more formidable, and she was even bestowed a name by the Heavenly Wolf King himself.

骊。

Bai Li.

In the Sirius Moon Clan, the royal family all use "Bai" as their surname, but very few are granted a single-character name, and all of them are the most powerful contenders for the position of young master.

He wouldn't dare to be presumptuous even with Bai Wuyai in person, let alone Bai Li, he could only obey orders.

"I'll go right away, but... what should we do with the original plan?"

Lü Zongwang's expression turned solemn.

On the surface, he was still a commander of the Xuanjing Division of Daxin, stationed in a certain area and in charge of a region, and had not completely betrayed Daxin.

What they are doing now is nothing more than watching both sides and secretly placing bets.

After all, if the Eight Demon Clan were to break through the impassable pass, the border regions such as Yunzhou would inevitably fall, so he had to plan his escape route in advance.

Not only was he fully aware of this, but looking across the entire Yunzhou, how could there be no one else secretly siding with the demon race?

It's impossible!

Daxin was weak in the border regions such as Yunzhou, which was obvious to anyone with discerning eyes.

This is not simply a matter of strength versus weakness, but rather a reflection of how long the central government has neglected these matters.

Daxin implements a system of rotating officials, but here, how long has it been since the officials were replaced?

Furthermore, there have been times in history when the demon race ruled the world and dominated the human race.

It was all of this that made people like Lü Zongwang have other ideas.

"rest assured."

Bai Li smiled brightly and charmingly, reaching out her slender hand to catch a drop of rain.

"Everything is under control."

"You can go by yourself."

This grand plan, meticulously crafted over a century, would not be abandoned simply because of the death of Bai Wuyai.

"Yes."

Lü Zongwang got up and left.

But as soon as he stepped down the stairs, all the expressions he had shown in front of Bai Li vanished, replaced by a somber look.

High up in the building, only Bai Li remained, leaning on the railing to admire the scenery, her smile growing increasingly eerie.

"The God of Ruins... is probably about to make a move."

"And those disciples of the Void Dao Palace, I wonder if they can be of use to me..."
