401: They want to kill you!

“Unable to enter the Martial Dynasty for the next two hundred years? That’s not entirely true.”

The Silver-Haired Silver-Eyed Dao Lord shook his head.

Now that they had left the Martial Dynasty, they gathered together.

They discussed how to deal with the upcoming situation.

The Silver-Haired Silver-Eyed Dao Lord said, “Although the commotion this time was huge, I will arrange things for you later. After some time, when the matter fades, you will be able to enter the Martial Dynasty.”

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

They knew that from now on, they could only rely on him.

Although the Silver-Haired Silver-Eyed Dao Lord was also a rogue cultivator in the Great Wu Dynasty, he was a Dao Lord!

He was not suspected or controlled by the Martial Dynasty.

And most importantly, he had already experienced eight resets in The Primordial Martial Era.

His familiarity with the entire The Primordial Martial Era was unmatched.

He even knew the personality, preferences, and social connections of every Dao Lord in the Martial Dynasty.

If it weren't for the enormous commotion Xiao Shi caused this time, which completely altered the trends and developments for the next two hundred years, he would have even known what would happen in the next two hundred years.

However, even if this “beginning” was somewhat different from before, it didn’t affect him much.

He could still rely on his familiarity with The Primordial Martial Era to calmly deal with all changes.

“How long will it take for us to re-enter the Martial Dynasty?” someone immediately asked urgently.

The Silver-Haired Silver-Eyed Dao Lord thought for a moment.

“Around two hundred years,” he said.

As soon as he spoke, veins popped out on everyone’s foreheads.

Two hundred years?

A single reset only lasted three hundred years in total.

This meant that in this reset, they would lose most of their time for no reason, simply because they were implicated by Xiao Shi.

Although one or two hundred years was nothing to a Saint Grade with a long lifespan, what was lost in each reset was not just these one or two hundred years.

When The Primordial Martial Era began its reset, the entire The Primordial Martial Era would fall into a temporal stasis, lasting at least ten thousand years.

Even with their lifespans, they couldn’t withstand too many resets.

To waste a reset opportunity like this was completely unacceptable to them!

The Silver-Haired Silver-Eyed Dao Lord could only shrug helplessly.

This was already the limit of what he could do.

The commotion Xiao Shi caused this time was simply too great!

The Martial Dynasty would certainly not allow rogue cultivators to enter in a short period.

“I can only try my best to shorten the time for you, but the chances are not great.”

The Silver-Haired Silver-Eyed Dao Lord shook his head.

After saying a few more words to everyone, he left.

After the Silver-Haired Silver-Eyed Dao Lord left, everyone’s expressions turned cold, filled with killing intent.

There were some things they couldn’t say in front of the Silver-Haired Silver-Eyed Dao Lord.

After all, they all knew that his Dao of Goodness would make him treat everyone kindly, especially Xiao Shi, who was his key investment target.

If the Silver-Haired Silver-Eyed Dao Lord sensed their killing intent towards Xiao Shi, he would definitely warn Xiao Shi.

“This person… must die!!”

The white-haired old man, who had three sword sheaths on his back and had attacked Xiao Shi when he first arrived, said sternly.

The eyes of the others also emanated strong killing intent.

Their killing intent towards Xiao Shi was not just because they were implicated by him this time.

More importantly, it was for their own sake.

If they truly couldn’t enter the Martial Dynasty for the next two hundred years, such a price would definitely be unacceptable to them.

To break this deadlock, the best way was to kill Xiao Shi, then hand his corpse over to the Martial Dynasty, stating that Xiao Shi was the culprit who killed the Saint Grade of the Blood Extension Lower Kingdom.

This way, they wouldn’t be unable to enter the Martial Dynasty due to Xiao Shi’s involvement.

Secondly, they also thought of a crucial issue.

Even if they could enter the Martial Dynasty after two hundred years, Xiao Shi could also enter the Martial Dynasty.

If Xiao Shi were to kill a wave of Saint Grades from the Martial Dynasty then… their situation would become very unfavorable again!

In their opinion, once Xiao Shi had the opportunity to kill a Saint Grade from the Martial Dynasty, he would definitely do so.

After all, this was Xiao Shi’s Grasping the Dao method.

Thus, if they didn’t kill Xiao Shi, they would always be implicated by him and unable to practice Grasping the Dao.

And this wouldn’t just be for this reset.

It would likely be the case for every subsequent reset!

“He must die!!”

The Saint Grades present were not foolish.

Without needing others to explain, they all understood the stakes involved.

Each of them exuded strong killing intent.

The only thing that made them wary now was the powerful strength Xiao Shi had displayed.

“This person is proficient in powerful corpse control abilities, and he has many Saint Grade corpses in his possession. His own strength is also quite formidable. To kill him, we must unite and go all out,” said the Half-Step Dao Lord from the Martial Corpse Era in a deep voice.

The others also nodded in agreement.

They knew that if they fought alone, they might not be Xiao Shi’s match.

Xiao Shi’s feat of single-handedly annihilating all the Saint Grades of the Blood Extension Lower Kingdom had already made them clearly feel his terror!

Because of this, they felt it was very necessary to discuss tactics.

At the same time, the large beastman, covered in steel-like black fur, also took out a combined attack formation.

This combined attack formation could condense their power in a short period, achieving a synergy where one plus one was greater than two!

It was very suitable for them to use for a siege!

It could be said that with such a combined attack, they could even possess the powerful combat strength to face a Dao Lord!

“There’s still one problem,” the old man with three sword sheaths on his back said with a frown.

“How can we quietly approach him without him sensing us?”

Since they were all disciples of the Dao Ancestor, they could sense each other’s locations.

They weren’t worried about not being able to find Xiao Shi.

No matter where Xiao Shi was, they could clearly sense his location.

But if all of them collectively rushed towards Xiao Shi, Xiao Shi would inevitably sense it.

And in the current situation, once Xiao Shi discovered all of them gathering towards him, he would surely know they had ill intentions.

He would definitely try to escape directly.

At the same time, the Silver-Haired Silver-Eyed Dao Lord would also sense it.

If the Silver-Haired Silver-Eyed Dao Lord intervened then, their encirclement would be difficult to succeed.

In their opinion, the ideal situation was to quietly approach without Xiao Shi and the Silver-Haired Silver-Eyed Dao Lord noticing, giving Xiao Shi no chance to prepare, and directly catching him off guard.

At the same time, the Silver-Haired Silver-Eyed Dao Lord would also be unable to provide support in a short period.

This was the easiest way to kill Xiao Shi.

“I can perform a temporary concealment,” said the boy from the Scorching Sun Era, who had a golden sun pattern on his forehead.

Everyone’s eyes lit up.

This way, as long as Xiao Shi and the Silver-Haired Silver-Eyed Dao Lord couldn’t sense their location, they could launch a surprise attack and kill him!

...At this moment, Xiao Shi’s realm and strength were not only improving, but his entire life essence was also undergoing a qualitative change.

He carefully felt his Dao of Slaughter.

His Dao of Slaughter was somewhat different from other Dao of Slaughter.

Normally, the Dao of Slaughter had fixed power and strength, with little fluctuation or change.

However, his Dao of Slaughter possessed an important characteristic that other Dao of Slaughter did not have—growth!

His Dao of Slaughter could continuously grow and strengthen!

The main way to grow and strengthen was through the number of kills!

Simply put, the more kills he made, the more powerful his Dao of Slaughter would become.

At the same time, this kill count was not based on the kills he made in a short period, but rather his total kills throughout his life.

And besides the number of kills, the strength and cultivation of those he killed were also very important.

Currently, to understand his Dao of Slaughter more clearly and intuitively, Xiao Shi simply manifested his Dao of Slaughter.

Buzz!

As his thought moved, dense black threads, like meridians, instantly spread throughout his entire body.

Each black thread appearing on his body represented one of his past kills.

And as he made more kills in the future, these black threads would continue to increase.

Each black thread would bring him a powerful increase in combat strength.

And among all the black threads, one was the most prominent.

Because this black thread represented the Dao Lord that Xiao Shi had once killed!

He could clearly feel that the power contained within this black thread was the most astonishing!

It was far beyond what other black threads could compare to.

“In other words…”

“As long as I keep killing, especially powerful individuals, my Dao of Slaughter will become stronger and stronger!”

Xiao Shi’s eyes gleamed.

Although the Dao of Slaughter he now wielded was only a Lower Grade The Mortal Dao, Xiao Shi felt that with its growth potential, once it matured through his continuous killing, it would definitely not be weaker than those Upper Grade The Mortal Dao.

In fact, when Xiao Shi first wielded this Dao, he could have elevated it to an Upper Grade The Mortal Dao.

But he thought about it carefully and decided to reserve the Upper Grade The Mortal Dao slot for a Dao he would wield later.

After all, the three Daos he could wield had to be one Heavenly Dao, one Upper Grade The Mortal Dao, and one Lower Grade The Mortal Dao.

No matter what, there had to be one Lower Grade The Mortal Dao.

So he might as well use the Dao of Slaughter as his Lower Grade The Mortal Dao.

Of course, the improvement in his own strength brought by the Dao of Slaughter still needed to be verified by Xiao Shi in actual combat.

Now that he had successfully wielded his first Dao, he began to ponder the other two Daos.

The next two Daos he was to wield were one Upper Grade The Mortal Dao and one Heavenly Dao.

These two Daos… would certainly not be simple.

Currently, Xiao Shi didn’t have any good ideas yet.

For these remaining two Daos, he didn’t plan to wield existing Daos.

Instead, he intended to create his own Daos based on his own situation!

Throughout history, only Dao Ancestors and the wielders of various eras were capable of creating Daos!

Never had any Dao Lord been able to create a Dao independently.

Even the most outstanding Dao Lords of various eras could not create Daos independently.

But before Xiao Shi went to The Primordial Martial Era, he already had the idea of creating his own Dao.

This was not him overestimating himself.

His confidence mainly stemmed from an item that dropped when he first killed a Saint Grade.

【Name: dao foundation】

【Type: Dao Building Cornerstone】

【Grade: Saint Grade】

【Description: This is the foundation and prerequisite for creating a Dao.】

【Note: Holding a dao foundation grants you the opportunity to create a Dao.】

...With this item, Xiao Shi possessed the ability to create his own Dao.

However, he also knew that relying solely on a [dao foundation] was not enough to directly complete the creation of a new Dao.

He still needed many Dao Source.

“In other words…”

“No matter what kind of Dao I create next, Dao Source is something I must possess.”

Xiao Shi pondered this thoughtfully.

As he was deep in thought, he suddenly felt a jade slip in his storage space vibrate.

This jade slip was given to him earlier by the Silver-Haired Silver-Eyed Dao Lord for transmitting messages between them.

Now, as Xiao Shi picked up the jade slip, the voice of the Silver-Haired Silver-Eyed Dao Lord immediately came from within the jade slip.

“Come to me quickly! I feel… they want to kill you!”

“Hm?”

Xiao Shi frowned slightly.

“What do you mean?”

The Silver-Haired Silver-Eyed Dao Lord immediately told Xiao Shi about the situation where, after Xiao Shi killed many Saint Grades of the Martial Dynasty, the others were now unable to remain in the Martial Dynasty.

Although these people had not shown killing intent in front of the Silver-Haired Silver-Eyed Dao Lord earlier, the Silver-Haired Silver-Eyed Dao Lord knew what they were thinking.

He immediately warned Xiao Shi at the first opportunity.

“Come to the location I’ve designated immediately. I’ve established a sanctuary here that can hide you, so they won’t be able to sense your location,” the Silver-Haired Silver-Eyed Dao Lord said anxiously.

He didn’t want to see Xiao Shi killed.

However, Xiao Shi’s eyes lit up upon hearing this.

He hadn’t even thought of hunting them yet, and they were coming to seek death proactively?

He was about to refuse the Silver-Haired Silver-Eyed Dao Lord’s kind offer when he suddenly had an idea.

He mused that given the Silver-Haired Silver-Eyed Dao Lord’s style of action, if he appeared fearless in front of him, this guy would probably immediately notify the others not to come to their deaths.

After all, to the Silver-Haired Silver-Eyed Dao Lord, he was like a peace envoy.

He neither wanted to see Xiao Shi die, nor did he want to see others die.

“Can’t alert the enemy…”

Thinking of this, Xiao Shi immediately showed a hint of urgency at just the right moment.

“What location? I’m coming right now!”

The Silver-Haired Silver-Eyed Dao Lord didn’t suspect anything.

He immediately told Xiao Shi the location of the sanctuary and urged him to get there as quickly as possible.
