Chapter 165: Li Shenzong wants to explore the underworld, and Xiao Shenzong goes to the remnant prison [Three more! ] It was evening and the sky was dark. The middle-aged soldier pushed the door open and walked into the room. Behind the curtain, he bowed slightly and presented the letter with both hands. Then a white hand reached out and took the letter. "The previous news was wrong. It was said that this young man named Wuchang had cultivated to the Refining Essence Realm after ten thousand years of Kongqing." The middle-aged soldier whispered, "From what we can see today, that is definitely not the case!" "Although I know that Wanzai Kongqing has never been transported to Gaoliu City, I also think that this boy should have just entered the realm of refining essence." A voice came from inside, smiling and saying, "I never thought that the disciple would surpass the master. Wuchang is stronger than Han Zheng." After hearing the news that the two sons of the Shi family had died in Fengcheng, he already knew that there would be changes in this battle. I just didn't expect that the defeat would be so miserable as described in the letter.

Xu Dingye has already received the true teachings and has almost reached the highest level of refining essence. His attainments in swordsmanship surpass those of the younger generation and can stand shoulder to shoulder with those of the older generation. "Xu Dingye is known as the Little Divine Sect outside." Li Shenzong chuckled and said, "When I was at the peak of the Refining Essence Realm, I was only slightly better than him... This boy beat him by twenty-two swords, and is still better than me back then!" "General, you are a genius. No one in Qifeng Mansion over the past three hundred years can be compared to you." "After today, it already exists." "This boy is Han Zheng's successor. What do you think we should do?" "After I have explored the forbidden area and obtained the token, I will go to Gaoliu City." "That forbidden area has already lost more than 200 elite soldiers. We have only discovered one of the entrances to the underworld." "There is no such thing as the underworld. It is just an ancient existence that has been lost in the long river of time." Li Shenzong said quietly: "After this battle, Xu Dingye should go to Canyu Mansion to sharpen his character..." After a pause, Emperor Li Shenzong said, "As for Han Zheng, I believe that the knot in his heart in the Qi Refining Realm has been untied. In the spring of next year, let him come and make the final break with me!" “What about this impermanence?” "Impermanence..." Li Shenzong's laughter seemed to be slightly amusing, and he said: "Although Gaoliu City is large, it is not the largest main city of Qifeng Mansion... Young people want to climb to the top, and they must come to Qifeng Mansion for a walk!" "After the matter in Gaoliu City is completely settled, I believe he will come to Qifeng City." "We defeated Xiao Shen Zong today. Do you think he wants to defeat Li Shen Zong?" Laughter spread behind the curtain, and soon Li Shenzong sighed: "You should leave first, I can't help it, I want to kill someone!" "Take care, General!" The middle-aged soldier quickly saluted and stepped back, with a hint of worry in his eyes.

- In Gaoliu City, two days passed in the blink of an eye. However, the controversy surrounding the battle the day before has not yet subsided, and people are still talking about it hotly and discussing it endlessly. "Ugh……" The man guarding the door sighed and rubbed his brows. He is Xu Dingye's senior brother and Li Shenzong's top disciple. It’s just that his talent is not as good as Xu Dingye, and his cultivation is also slightly inferior to Xu Dingye. Thinking about the scene of the battle the day before, I still feel scared. He exhaled and suddenly his whole body stiffened. With his cultivation level at the Refining Essence Realm, he was completely unaware that there was an old man beside him. "I've met the master of the palace!" "Where is Xu Dingye?" The Lord of Canyu Mansion said calmly, "After this defeat, he should follow me to Canyu Mansion to sharpen his mind... This is a message from your master." "I know." The man paused, pointed inside, and said, "He has been drunk for two days and hasn't woken up yet." "I'm afraid there is no wine in Gaoliu City that can make a person in the Refining Spirit Realm drunk for two days." The Lord of Canyu Palace waved his hand and pushed the door open. Then I saw wine jars scattered all over the room. Xu Dingye leaned against the window, holding a jar of wine in his hand, and drank it all in one gulp. "Master, are you ready to set off today?" "Look at you, aren't you ready?" "I'm alone and can go anywhere with a sword." Xu Dingye threw the wine jar, breaking it on the ground and the wine spilled out. "What a waste of wine." The Lord of Canyu Mansion shook his head and said, "Do you know how much grain is used to brew a jar of wine? The process is complicated and how difficult it is? In Canyu Mansion, even I often can't find wine..." "That's why you should drink more." Xu Dingye laughed and said, "Food is indeed hard to come by... I have been to the Pure Land, met the exiled people, and lived in the outer city of Gaoliu for a few days. Few of them can eat enough." "Then why are you so wasteful?" The Lord of Canyu Palace frowned. "This is the last time." Xu Dingye exhaled and said, "I won't do it again." "Are you so frustrated by this defeat?" The Lord of Canyu Palace came closer and said calmly. "I am not as skilled as the other party and was defeated by him, but it is not bad." Xu Dingye said with a smile: "In the past, I was always called the Little Divine Sect and always regarded myself as the master of the next generation... I was too proud and arrogant, but now I am more sober." "Look at you, you are so drunk, you don't look sober." The Lord of Canyu Palace shook his head. "Being defeated is frustrating, but in one encounter, I was slashed 23 times and only scratched the opponent's sleeve." Xu Dingye said helplessly: "This makes me wonder if I am a waste."

"If you are a waste, there will be no more talented people in Qifeng Mansion except Wuchang." said the Lord of Canyu Mansion. "That's true. Even if he fails miserably, at least he is the only one stronger than me in this generation." Xu Dingye said. "He has entered the Qi Refining Realm." The Lord of the Canyu Palace spoke again, speaking in a deep voice. "..." Xu Dingye's expression suddenly changed, but the next moment, he let out a breath: "Then it makes me look even more useless?" “Come with me to Canyu Palace. I guarantee that you will enter the Qi Refining Realm within a year.” The Lord of Canyu Palace said sternly. "Even my master couldn't make me enter the Qi Refining stage within a year!" Xu Dingye frowned. “But I can do it.” The Lord of Canyu Mansion said in a normal tone, “That’s why your master sent a message to me, asking me to take you to Canyu Mansion.” "What do the younger generation need to pay?" Xu Dingye asked in a deep voice. "Canyu Mansion is relatively isolated from news compared to Qifeng Mansion." The Lord of Canyu Mansion stroked his beard and said, "This time, you should come to my Canyu Mansion as the current number one person in Qifeng Mansion." "What do you mean?" Xu Dingye was stunned. "I have a disciple who is about the same age as you. He is known as the best of his time in Canyu Mansion." The Lord of Canyu Mansion said with a smile. "Lend me, Xu, to make him famous? To become the next Wuchang?" Xu Dingye was slightly angry. "No, my disciple is not as talented as you." The Lord of Canyu Palace paused and said, "Go and challenge him! Your master sent a letter with a declaration of war!" "Hmm?" Xu Dingye was stunned at first, then suddenly realized and said, "You see, this battle has made Gaoliu City's business prosperous and the source of income is vast. Do you want to follow suit?" "That's hard to hear." The Lord of the Canyu Mansion looked outside and said, "Look at how many people from all races gathered in Gaoliu City before and after this battle... How many young people were excited, it really strengthened the power of our human race!" "The Canyu Mansion is worse than the Qifeng Mansion, and the demons are more brutal." "The human race is struggling to survive. The younger generation is struggling to survive. They are depressed and have no hope for the future." "What Canyu Mansion lacks right now is this momentum of morale!" "Xu Dingye, as the number one person in Qifeng Mansion, you challenge the number one youth in Canyu Mansion. This is enough hype!" When he said this, the look in his eyes when he looked at Xu Dingye was as if he was looking at a gem, quite kind. "Wu Chang is stronger than me. You should ask him to come over." “No, Wuchang is too strong. He was chopped down with one blow.” The Lord of Canyu Palace shook his head and said, “Didn’t you see how many people came here from a long distance to witness this battle… but how many of them returned disappointed because you guys fought so boringly?” "..."Xu Dingye was silent for a moment. "More importantly, you will live in Canyu Mansion for several years." The old man said solemnly, "You must first defeat my disciple's grandson, spread your fame far and wide, arouse people's enthusiasm, and strengthen Canyu Mansion's business... Pah, big momentum!" "and then?" "After a year or so, when you kill demons and fight alongside them, everyone will regard you as a member of the Canyu Mansion. By that time, you will have entered the Qi Refining Realm." "What happens next?" "Then I will fight Wuchang! The battle at Gaoliu Castle the other day, and the Canyu Mansion will appear again!"

"Do you want him to chop me another twenty or thirty times?" "We are both in the Qi Refining Realm, so it won't be that serious." The Lord of Canyu Mansion stroked his beard and smiled, saying, "This time, Canyu Mansion's business, ugh, morale... depends on you! Wait a year later, Canyu Mansion will challenge you for another battle!" "Gao Liucheng borrowed the power once, and you want to borrow it twice. Isn't that a bit too much?" "Would you like that?" "One year later, I will fight again. I promised." Xu Dingye nodded slightly and said, "There shouldn't be any brothels in Canyu Mansion, right?" The Lord of the Canyu Palace was stunned for a moment, and said, "Before you leave, do you still want to go?" Xu Dingye shook his head quickly and said, "Knowing shame leads to courage. I didn't learn the art well, so I wasted too much energy in the brothel. From now on... I will not touch alcohol or women anymore." - Linjiang Division. Lin Yan sat on the top of the city wall with his eyes slightly closed. The ancestral orifice between his eyebrows was already filled with nine streams of true qi. These are the purest true qi that is refined from one's own foundation! "From now on, you can try to increase your true energy with evil spirit." Thinking this, Lin Yan stood up and asked, "Did the Lord of Canyu Palace take Xu Dingye away?" "Exactly." Xu Qing nodded and looked at Lin Yan with a look of awe. "You and I are still the same, there is no need to be like this." Lin Yan patted his shoulder, but suddenly his expression changed slightly and he looked forward. Xu Qing followed his line of sight, frowned, and said, "Those are the children of the rich and powerful from Licheng, and the group behind them are from Fengcheng's business... What's wrong?" "I left town this morning." Lin Yan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said, "They should be turning back, why did they return to Gaoliu City?" "At noon today, someone destroyed three clean places south of Gaoliu City." Suddenly, Lord Lu's voice came from behind, saying, "Three in the east, three in the north... In just one hour, nine clean places were destroyed." "Because of your battle with Xu Dingye, a large number of people who came to Gaoliu City from all over the country will be trapped in this city." "Someone wants to destroy all the clean land around Gaoliu City and turn Gaoliu City into an isolated city!" "Attacking Jingxia is not Jie Jin's style." After a brief pause, Lord Lu said, "But this was definitely done by Jie Jin!"
