“The two sides have been fighting each other for so long. They’ve both suffered such heavy losses without achieving their goals. In order to take a break, they have decided to change their target.”

Liu Yu was surprised. “They’re attacking the South Continent just because of that?”

“The person hiding in the Qianyuan Holy Land said that it was to channel the South Continent’s qi,” said Old Demon Han.

He was also confused by this.

What was the point of the Qianyuan Sacred Ground channeling qi?

He could understand if they wanted to plunder resources.

But the South Continent did not have much resources left for the Qianyuan Sacred Ground.

Unless there was some secret he was unaware about?

“To channel the South Continent’s qi?” Liu Yu frowned.

What did he mean?

“I only know that the South Continent’s prenatal qi is recovering. Could that be related to why they’re channeling the qi?”

“I have always wondered about the recovery of prenatal qi. But no one has any answers about this,” said Liu Yu.

He had only found out that the South Continent’s prenatal qi was much stronger than it had been many years ago by accident. Now, it could actually support the people’s cultivation.

He had tried to find out why, but to no avail.

“I heard that this matter is related to the Xia Family’s ancestor.”

“What has this got to do with the Xia Family’s ancestor?” Liu Yu asked in surprise.

“I don’t know. That’s all I know. I’ve just been tasked to come here, find the Xia Family, and inform him of this so that he can prepare in advance.”

Liu Yu fell silent.

His ancestor had not appeared for many years.

Back then, he had only showed up for an instant when the Xia Family was in crisis.

Then he disappeared without a trace.

There were rumors that he was not their Xia Family’s ancestor.

If he hadn’t seen the ancestor walk out of the Forbidden Ground with his own eyes, he wouldn’t have believed it either.

“What should I do? The ancestor is not here!”

“I have already told you the news I was supposed to tell you. Now, I am going to hide in the South Continent to give the Qianyuan Sacred Ground a nasty surprise.” Old Demon Han left.

Liu Yu became very anxious.

If the Qianyuan Sacred Ground really came to attack them, how could they possibly defend themselves?

The number of Virtual Realm masters they had was several times that of all the half-step Virtual Realm masters in the South Continent.

“What should we do?” Liu Yu was discussing the matter with Mu Qingfeng.

“Now, we can’t even protect these areas of the South Continent!” Mu Qingfeng said.

He was really anxious too, but he had no idea what to do.

“I heard that a lot of the people who broke into the State of Great Xia’s Imperial Palace were killed. Many who rebelled against the State of Great Xia were also killed. Perhaps the royal family of the State of Great Xia might have a way,” Mu Qingfeng reminded him.

“Brother Liu, I heard that you used to be from the royal family of the State of Great Xia. The State of Great Xia’s Imperial Palace is very powerful. Maybe you should...” Mu Qingfeng said as he patted his forehead.

“Really? Why didn’t I know about this?” Liu Yu asked in surprise.

“You should listen more to the rumors spread by the local warriors. Many years ago, the State of Great Xia slaughtered millions of other people from the other five nations as well as countless masters from various sects with a few secret weapons. These few days, none of the Zhongzhou bandits have dared to go close to the Imperial Capital.”

“Let me check!”

Liu Yu left immediately.

After inquiring someone about this, he didn’t believe it.

Was his third brother’s offspring really so capable?

How could they have fought the five nation army with countless masters in addition to so many demons?

It seemed almost like fantasy.

“I still can’t believe it!” Liu Yu murmured as he headed toward the State of Great Xia’s Imperial Capital.

He wanted to see with his own eyes how this emperor named Liu An had stopped so many bandits in Zhongzhou.

Before he arrived in the Imperial Capital, he could smell burned meat.

Inside and outside the Imperial Capital, there were countless corpses that had been scorched by fire.

Physically, these corpses seemed to be people from Zhongzhou.

Moving forward, he noticed that it was the corpse of a Zhongzhou bandit.

Either these corpses lacked arms or legs or they had huge holes in their bodies.

The bodies seemed to have been smashed by a stone thrown by a master.

“What’s inside?”

There was a large hole in the middle of all the corpses.

A strong smell radiated from the large hole.

“Why is there the smell of sulfur?”

In the palace, sulfur was used to kill insects.

Liu Yu remembered this smell very distinctly.

Closer to the Imperial Capital, the corpses he found were slightly different.

There were several burned marks on the corpses. When he turned over the bodies, he realized that the internal organs were all burned.

Liu Yu shuddered.

Other than Liu Yu, many of the people passing by Zhongzhou also broke out into cold sweat when they saw these corpses.

Even if they left the Imperial Capital, they wouldn’t dare to take any action.

“Where did the South Continent master get so many corpses to scare us with from?”

“Where did this master from the South Continent come from? Does he really think it is so easy to scare us?”

The few Zhongzhou people who passed by rubbed their noses. They didn’t believe that these corpses were killed by someone from the South Continent.

“They think these unusual deaths are enough to scare us? Hmph!”

Outside the Imperial Capital, the heads of Zhongzhou warriors were placed in a pile.

Many masters who had experienced the fighting in Zhongzhou would be stunned when they saw this.

How shocking!

Liu Yu glanced around.

After seeing this, the people of Zhongzhou didn’t dare to shout arrogantly anymore.

“Isn’t that Bai Weihu’s head?”

“Looks like it. How did he get his head chopped off? He’s the leader of the gang of horse bandits that were in Taiyue Sacred Ground for many years!”

“Look. Is the head over there Jin Zhoubao’s?”

“Only he will have four studs on his lip!”

“They are all advanced Perfected Persons. Who could have killed them?”

Several of the Zhongzhou people stared at this scene for a while. Then, they turned and left. They didn’t dare to go near Zhongzhou anymore and chose to stand outside the Imperial Capital and watch from a distance.

Whoosh!

Just then, a burst of sword light flashed in the Imperial Palace.

Liu Yu couldn’t help but take a step back.

Two corpses fell from the sky.

“Two more!”

Outside of the Imperial Capital, the South Continent warriors looked up and yelled, as if this was something usual.

Soon, a team of guards appeared in the city. They retrieved the two heads and threw them into the pile.

Blood still dripped from the severed heads.

Hiss!

In the distance, beads of sweat formed on the forehead of a man from Zhongzhou who had been spying on the Imperial Capital.

Fortunately, he had not been rash just now.

“Ancestor?”

Sword light flashed by with a trace of thunder and lightning.

Was his ancestor in there?

Pleasantly surprised, Liu Yu flew toward the palace.

But before he approached the palace, he was enveloped by a burst of murderous intent.

Shocked, he hurriedly flew down from the sky.

That burst of killing intent was definitely from a master of the Virtual Realm.

“Is Ancestor really in the palace? Why doesn’t he recognize me?” He walked to the gate of the palace.

“Stop!” Several guards vigilantly stopped Liu Yu and stared at him.

“Tell Liu An that his Ninth Uncle is back.”

In the Taihe Hall of Supreme Harmony, Liu An’s hair was half gray.

“Your Majesty, we don’t have enough oil or gunpowder!”

“We should still persist!”

“Your Majesty, if we keep persisting, we will eventually run out of resources.”

“Don’t worry! There is always a way.”

Liu An scratched his head.

Although the bodies of the Zhongzhou people were piled up and thrown all over the roads, there were still some arrogant Zhongzhou people who broke into the Imperial Capital and even tried to enter the palace several times.

What was happening outside?

In the vitality pit, Li Mu browsed through all the classics of the Taiyue Sacred Ground over and over again.

In all the records, there was no mention of the True Realm.

The most powerful cultivation level was only the peak of the Virtual Realm.

“Grandpa, I’m going to kill them!” Just then, Tingting approached Li Mu.

“Why? Look outside now.”

“Huh?”

Why was Muguang Mountain in a mess?

Using his divine consciousness, he sensed that there were many corpses around the vitality pit.

Li Mu flew out of the vitality pit and found that there were many Zhongzhou masters who had crossed Muguang Mountain.

“Are they heading to the Imperial Palace of the State of Great Xia?”
