BXBX NOVEL Chapter 54 - Endlessly
Chapter 54: Endlessly
After the war, the entire world was left in shock.
Many experts from the State of Qi as well as the other big sects had failed to cross the border of the State of Great Xia.
They had suffered great casualties and were not able to launch another attack.
The Dark Yin Sect was at the end of its rope over the State of Great Xia.
But Liu An and Liu Rui knew this issue wouldn’t end in such an easy way.
Zhao Seven was a serpent who always hid in dark corners. He would never give up the idea of attacking the State of Great Xia again.
Time passed slowly.
Soon, a year had gone.
In the Underground Palace, Li Mu jumped out from the Demon Locking Well.
“Congratulations to the host for checking in at the Demon Locking Well. You have received a Great Recovery Pill as a reward.”
Liu Mu threw the pill in his mouth and swallowed it.
Immediately, he received 60 years’ worth of power.
His Cultivation Achievement had reached the Perfection of the Perfected Person.
What is the next realm?
Liu Mu has been trying to find the answer for many years. But he failed to get any useful clue.
Does it mean I have to perform Secluded Cultivation?
Li Mu shook his head.
He decided to find the opportunity to visit the Xia Family.
Maybe he could find answers for many questions in his heart in the Xia Family,
such as the Demon Locking Well.
He might also get answers about the higher realms and the situation of the South Continent.
By lying beside the Demon Locking Well, he began to practice his skills and attempted to find a breaking point in the Zaohua Sutra.
As Li Mu was immersed in his cultivation, a blood mist rose from the Demon Locking Well.
The blood mist came together and filled the entire Underground Palace.
Swish! Swish!
When the blood mist approached Li Mu, it started to tremble and was not able to come any closer.
Then, a strand of black gas appeared in the blood mist.
The black gas turned into a giant head, which opened its bloody mouth and was about to bite Li Mu.
Boom!
A streak of golden light gushed out from Li Mu’s body.
“Ouch!”
The black gas retracted into the well again.
The blood mist also dissipated.
“D*mn! You are lucky that my body and my laksana are locked. Otherwise, I won’t allow a villain like you to jump in and out above my head. Sooner or later, I will come out! And you will be my first nutrient!”
A resentful voice came out from the well.
Hall of Harmony
Liu An opened a bamboo tube and took out an envelope from it.
Two wax seals were on the envelope.
Liu An checked it carefully to ensure that it was a report that hadn’t been opened yet.
Scratch!
Liu An tore open the envelope and read the letter carefully.
“As expected, the Dark Yin Sect won’t give up so easily. The State of Chen, the State of Wei, and the State of Zhou…how dare they!”
Liu An threw the letter on the table.
After the last two battles, the State of Qi was low on its military strength.
Male adults were quite rare in most cities of this nation.
In other words, it was impossible for the Dark Yin Sect to mobilize soldiers.
A lot of Warriors had also run away from the State of Qi.
The rest of the Warriors had already been killed in the previous battles.
Under the control of the Dark Yin Sect, a lot of male adults died in the invasion of the State of Great Xia. But more male adults were used by the Dark Yin Sect as nutrients. The Warriors in this nation suffered the same fate as the male adults.
Since the Dark Yin Sect was not able to mobilize soldiers or Warriors from the State of Qi,
They started to assemble forces from other nations.
Now, five armies, which had two million soldiers respectively, were marching towards the border of the State of Great Xia.
“The Dark Yin Sect will never abandon its intention to destroy us,”
Liu An said worriedly.
The thing that he was most worried about had happened.
The Dark Yin Sect had controlled many nations and sects.
Numerous soldiers and experts would become the State of Great Xia’s enemies.
Everyone knew the consequence of becoming the public enemy of so many nations and sects.
“This is a never-ending attack,”
Several courtiers said worriedly after reading that letter.
Their hands were trembling feebly.
“If we can’t conquer the State of Great Xia, we can’t leave those soldiers and Warriors on the battlefield this time. We’d better use them as our nutrients,”
Zhao Seven said in an Underground Palace in the Luoshen Mountain.
He had run out of time.
The news about the Dark Yin Sect reached the Central Continent at last.
Once experts from the Central Continent were sent here to investigate this issue, all of them would be eliminated because they were not able to rival those experts at all.
The only method was to save the guy in the well so that he could take the blame for them.
Zhao Seven could find a place to hide or escape from the South Continent.
There are so many nutrients. Among them, many are Warriors at the Saint-level. I can enhance my Cultivation Achievement by another three tiers just by absorbing them!
The eyes of several elders lit up as they came to this realization.
“My lord, please send me to the front line.”
“That can wait. You need to go to the State of Great Xia’s imperial palace with me first. After this trip, you will go to the front line,”
Zhao Seven said dismissively.
Gasp!
Those elders became nervous immediately.
“My lord, we are not powerful enough to defeat that Swordsman Cultivator. You should let us absorb the nutrients first. After enhancing our Cultivation Achievements, we can go to the State of Great Xia’s imperial palace together. Is that okay for you?”
An elder stood up and said with dread.
The higher their Cultivation Achievements were, the more fearful they were to lose what they had.
They didn’t want to make sacrifices after spending so long cultivating.
Some of them were almost killed last time. They didn’t want to risk their lives again.
Since a perfectly safe method was available, why should they take the risk?
“Elder Qin, you have absorbed all the other grand elders in your sect. You’re already a tier four Perfected Person. What are you afraid of? We have so many people here! If you can’t rival that guy, just run away,”
Zhao Seven said as he furrowed his eyebrows.
“He is a Swordsman Cultivator after all! If I can’t match him then I will be killed by him in no time,”
Elder Qin said lamely.
“Is that what you’re thinking of now?”
“My lord, we don’t need to send so many people to attack the State of Great Xia. Leave them to us, so that we can improve our Cultivation Achievements for one or two tiers. Then, we can rush into the State of Great Xia’s imperial palace and kill them all.”
“Humph! If you absorb those nutrients, I’m afraid the experts from the Central Continent will stand in front of us before you can conquer the State of Great Xia. All of us will be killed then.”
It is impossible for them to get rid of the bad influence…
if they killed ten million people.
He would have done that if he didn’t worry about the consequence of killing so many people at the same time.
“My lord, it will still be quite influential if we absorb those nutrients after occupying the imperial palace of the State of Great Xia!”
“It’s different! You can absorb those nutrients once you’ve occupied the State of Great Xia’s imperial palace. Nothing will have changed… even experts from the Central Continent are sent there.”
Zhao Seven said confidently.
“My lord, can you tell us why, please?”
“Today, I shall tell you the secret. Do you know the history of the Luoshen Mountain?”
Zhao Seven asked.
It’s time to reveal the truth to these elders.
2 hours later
Zhao Seven spoke as he pointed in the direction of the State of Great Xia’s Imperial Palace.
“As long as that Grand Ancestor can come out, you can enjoy those nutrients any time you want. The Grand Ancestor will protect us. In the future, no matter if you choose to act wildly or to hide in mountains, it will be much easier.”
The hall dropped into a dead silence.
“I am willing to go with you, my lord.”
“It’s time to risk our lives. It’s actually not that dangerous. We only need several people to stall the Swordsman Cultivator, or to draw him away. Then we only need to send one person to the Demon Locking Well and take away that spell.”
“If that Swordsman Cultivator can be kept busy, this task won’t be very difficult. Please count me in,”
Elder Qin nodded his head.
“To be fair, we need full participation from everyone,”
Zhao Seven said to the rest people.
“Right! We don’t allow some people to absorb those nutrients as we risk our lives on the front line.”
Ten million soldiers had been deployed on the border.
Everyone in the State of Great Xia watched the “enemies” nervously.
“It seems that the members of all the big families and sects have been sent here!”
An Mu, who was standing on the highest position of the barrier, looked at the thickly-dotted enemies.
Within the ranks of the enemies were many powerful Warriors.
“As you wish, my lord!”
“Send the message to the capital! I guess it won’t be so easy to defend this time around.”
An Mu took a deep breath and wiped away the sweat on his forehead.
Swish!
On a ridge in the distance, several swords could be seen flashing in the air.
Three women in white picked up a head with their swords.
“Hmph! How dare you sneak into our nation! Do you think the members of the Baiyun Temple are morons?”
The next moment, the three women disappeared.
Ding-ding-dong
Almost immediately, the sound of Guqin filled a valley that was about 50 kilometers away from that ridge.
The next moment, a Warrior from the Dark Yin Sect spat blood and fell dead.
Liu Rui put down the Guqin in her hands and left that valley.
“I didn’t expect to see the dignified Qingyun Sect become the Dark Yin Sect’s running dog. Zhao Seven, you’ve always liked to use these lousy tricks.”
When Liu Rui appeared again, another five apprentices of the Dark Yin Sect tried to sneak into the State of Great Xia through a loophole on the border.
