778: The murderer of Xu Changqing

"Changqing is dead..."

Xu Mang's expression was dim, his heart was burning with anger, yet he had nowhere to vent it, because he didn't even know who had killed his son.

He didn't believe Xu Changqing would die from dangers in the Source Beginning Divine Mine. With six-tenths of Sword Dao Profundity in his hands, plus a Quasi-Emperor from Shu Mountain, Xu Changqing's strength was not weak.

Everyone within the Source Beginning Divine Mine would be suppressed; even Transcendent Quasi-Emperors would be suppressed to Void God Realm Peak.

And as long as his son, Xu Changqing, broke through to the Void God Realm, even if it was just the Early Stage, even the suppressed Transcendent Quasi-Emperors would be unable to pose any threat to him.

Under these circumstances, everyone else could leave the Source Beginning Divine Mine alive, so why couldn't his son?

"Changqing is not a reckless person; someone must have killed him, someone even more powerful."

Xu Mang clenched his fist. This was his intuition, the intuition of a Sword Cultivator.

At this moment, a Shu Mountain Elder appeared not far away, then quickly approached Xu Mang.

This Elder also had the Cultivation Realm of a Six-Tribulation Quasi-Emperor, and was a pillar of Shu Mountain, a high-level combatant.

"Sect Master, it has been investigated. According to the Disciples who entered the Source Beginning Divine Mine with the Saint, at first the Saint was pursuing Sword Dao Profundity, and initially chased it to a mysterious Sword Origin Tree, within which there was a wisp of Sword Dao Profundity."

"However, the Saint encountered a powerful young Sword Cultivator at that time. That person was also after Sword Dao Profundity, and his Sword Qi was extremely sharp."

"Moreover, that mysterious Sword Cultivator was actually the person being hunted by Xiaoyao Divine Sect, Moon Worship Holy Land, and East Flower Holy Land together!"

The Elder said.

Then, he took out a Jade Slip. When the Jade Slip was opened, it immediately projected a young man's face.

After listening, Xu Mang's eyes instantly sharpened. He stared intently at the young man's face in the image; this young man was naturally Chu Ying.

"So, you think it's very likely that this person killed my son?" Xu Mang asked the Elder.

"If the Saint and this person were both competing for Sword Dao Profundity, then if the Saint's strength was inferior to this person, and the Saint also possessed six-tenths of Sword Dao Profundity... this person is indeed very likely to be the killer of the Saint."

"Mm."

Xu Mang nodded. His expression became calm, but the Elder knew very well that the calmer he was, the angrier he was. As the Sect Master of Shu Mountain, a peerless Sword Monarch, Xu Mang would not let this matter rest.

The hatred for his son's death was irreconcilable.

...

"Beidou Star Sea forces, since you refuse to submit, then let's go to war."

A deep, low voice echoed outside the Illusory Extinction Starport. A vast Cultivator army, stretching for ten thousand li across the Starry Sky, densely packed, blocked the boundary between the Beidou Star Sea and the Second Segment of the Ancient Star Road.

As these words fell, the densely packed Cultivator army began to advance!

But first, leading the charge, was an assault formation composed of the various Immortal Dao Lineages from the Second Segment of the Ancient Star Road, all Cultivators at Void God Realm Completion and ordinary Quasi-Emperor Realm!

Their numbers exceeded ten thousand! Extremely terrifying!

"Kill!"

"Those who obey me live, those who defy me die! You are merely putting up a desperate struggle!"

In an instant, figures streaked across the Starry Sky, various profound lights exploded, and all kinds of Dao and Martial Skill erupted in the Void Realm.

"Shu Mountain Sword Cultivators!"

Alliance Leader Xu Mang roared deeply.

"Here!"

All Shu Mountain Disciples responded with a loud roar.

"Draw your swords!"

As the Alliance Leader of the Beidou Alliance, Xu Mang, gave the order, the Void God Realm and ordinary Quasi-Emperor Disciples of Shu Mountain began their charge and slaughter, meeting the assault formation of the Dark God Cult and Paradise Palace army.

"Kill!"

But they were only the first wave to charge.

The various Dao Traditions of the Beidou Alliance also dispatched powerful Cultivators. Since it was an Alliance, naturally Shu Mountain would not be the only one to send people; in that case, the Beidou Star Sea would inevitably be unable to withstand the enemy's army.

Fengyun Holy Land, East Flower Holy Land, Butian Holy Land, Intercepting Heaven Holy Land, Xiaoyao Divine Sect, Moon Worship Holy Land, Chaoyuan Palace, etc., all went to battle.

In addition to the direct combatants, there were many battlefields on both sides, with each side dispatching powerful experts to contend, either ordinary Quasi-Emperors or Transcendent Quasi-Emperors.

In short, soldier against soldier, general against general.

However, the Beidou Star Sea was too vast, and one Illusory Extinction Starport could not completely block the advance of the Dark Paradise army.

This battle line was also very long.

Thus, the Cultivator army of the Dark God Cult and Paradise Palace began to infiltrate from various directions, even seeking out remote and desolate Star Domains and Starry Sky to secretly sneak in.

"Killing a Cultivator of an Immortal Dao Lineage from the Beidou Star Sea counts as one military merit point!"

Military merit points only became important during times of war. In previous wars across the All Heavens and Myriad Realms, Cultivators would kill hundreds of thousands or millions of enemies to earn military merit points.

Because this war was on an extremely vast scale, almost sweeping across a considerable portion of the Starry Sky, from the depths of the Second Segment of the Ancient Star Road all the way to the Beidou Star Sea, the scale was already considerable.

No Dao Tradition would dare to default on military merit points; this was recognized by all Dao Traditions in the All Heavens and Myriad Realms.

Moreover, the Dark God Cult, Paradise Palace, and other forces themselves had declared that military merit points could be used as contribution points within their sects, so no one doubted it. Instead, they engaged in various massacres for military merit points, daring to charge into battle.

Coincidentally.

The unmanned Star Domain where Chu Ying and his Beauties were located happened to encounter a wave of Cultivator teams from the Dark God Cult and Paradise Palace advancing via a flanking maneuver.

Chu Ying, who was cultivating, opened his eyes, frowned, and exclaimed in surprise, "Someone's here!"

"And quite a few of them."

"Void God Realm, Quasi-Emperor... Could it be the Cultivator army from the Dark God Cult's side?"

Chu Ying's eyes flickered as he awakened all the Beauties who were settling their cultivation and comprehending Cultivation Technique.

And they immediately sensed the situation.

"It's time for you to practice. These people should be just right," Chu Ying said with a slight smile.

"Of course."

Wan Yichun raised her fair, proud swan-like neck. She smiled gracefully, looking at Chu Ying and saying, "How about we compete to see who kills more enemies? The one who kills more... you'll give a reward?"

"What kind of reward do you want?" Chu Ying looked at her in surprise.

But then again, Wan Yichun had been by his side for so long, and he still hadn't 'eaten' her.

"I want you," Wan Yichun blinked her beautiful eyes and licked her fiery red lips.

"So direct? Don't you even consider other conditions?"

Chu Ying chuckled.

"If I win your favor, won't I have everything else?" Wan Yichun smiled charmingly.

Involuntarily, Chu Ying looked at the others.

Ximen Xiaoxue said, "I think that's fine. I also want to receive a reward from my husband."

Saying this, she looked at Chu Ying with eager eyes.

Li Yushu also had a very expectant expression.

He Xiaoliang's expression was indifferent and cool. She bit her lip and nodded gently.

Ling Xuejiu folded her arms and said indifferently, "Aren't you rewarding him?"

She glanced at Chu Ying, her eyes somewhat disdainful, still arrogant.

"I..."

Oriental Qiner stammered, "I'm fine with anything."

To this, Chu Ying could only smile helplessly: "Alright, as you wish."
