Azur Lane: I Crossed the Graduation Port Area

Chapter 1137: Palm Life and Death Technique

In the central province of Natlan, the lights of the bustling imperial capital dyed the sky, which was already deep in the night, almost as bright as day.

This ancient city located in the center of the Natlan Empire is no different from usual days, still bustling with lights.

From time to time, extreme warriors and flying spiritual weapons would fly over the towering and prosperous city, while there were also a large number of vendors on the streets shouting loudly to attract customers.

If the number of guards stationed at the city gates was not twice as many as usual and the pass checking for people entering and leaving the city was not more strict, no one would have imagined that the Natlan Empire was now suffering an unprecedented crisis.

And in the inner city of the imperial capital, where ordinary people are not allowed to enter, on the observatory.

A black-haired man with a gloomy face and wearing a black and white Taoist robe was looking up at the stars with his hands behind his back.

The great master of Natlan, Wu Pengcang.

Behind him stood four hunchbacked old men, also wearing two-color Taoist robes.

"The Ninth Ancestor's life force is completely cut off? Is this true?"

After gazing at the stars in silence for a long time, Wu Pengcang finally closed his eyes and turned to look at the four Nascent Soul ancestors from the family.

"Not only is his life force cut off, his karma...is gone."

A hoarse voice of an old woman from the Wu family who was in the Nascent Soul stage sounded, with hatred and worry in her tone, and she continued:

"Qiong Jiu originally intended to get rid of Bingjiaxian's Zhenbing by taking over his body, but..."

"Bastard!"

Before he could finish his words, Wu Pengcang suddenly frowned and shouted angrily, interrupting the ancestor of the family without any courtesy:

"Are you all old and confused? How dare you disobey the punishment bestowed by the military immortal?!

"Nine reincarnations, nine reincarnations!

"If she hadn't taken the initiative to break away from the Way of Heaven and join the reincarnation, how could our Wu family have controlled the military power so easily!

“That idiot Wu Qiong Jiu caused the military immortal to wake up prematurely, which has already ruined my plan. The Southern Province Tianxie League should not have appeared in the world at this time. This is karma!

"The cause and effect have been erased, and it is not a pity for Wu Qiong to die nine times!"

After being scolded by Wu Pengcang, the four ancestors of the Wu family could only tremble and remain silent.

The reason is simple. Wu Pengcang is the great state teacher of the dynasty and the leader of Yantiansi. His cultivation is at the ninth level of Nascent Soul, and he is only one step away from reaching the state of asking for the Way.

Being able to achieve such achievements at such a young age, even the first ancestor of the Wu family can only treat him with courtesy in front of Wu Pengcang.

With a long sigh, Wu Pengcang suppressed his anger and said calmly:
“Fortunately, the Immortal Soldiers has not yet fully awakened, and has not discovered that the Natlan Heavenly Dao has been controlled by us.

"Regarding the person from the Tianxie League, have you contacted him?"

After hearing Wu Pengcang's question, the four ancestors of the Wu family finally felt relieved.

One of the old ancestors with a goat beard answered confidently:
"This matter is progressing smoothly. The Third Ancestor has sent a message some time ago that the evil cultivator is very interested in sharing the Natlan Heavenly Dao.

"He only made one request, which is that we need the help of Heaven to find the real murderer who killed his junior sister."

Upon hearing this, Wu Pengcang sneered disdainfully:
“I didn’t expect that the evil cultivator would actually ask the Wu family for help. This is really ridiculous and absurd.

"Let the Third Ancestor tell him that as long as the Tianxie Alliance is willing to serve as the vanguard of the attack on Saint Lothalon, the entire Natlan Heavenly Dao can be given to him."

The words of this great state teacher made the four ancestors of the Wu family tremble all over.

The old woman who had spoken earlier questioned in a trembling voice with some disbelief:

"Do you really want to give the Heavenly Dao to the evil cultivators? What if..."

"Do you think that the Heavenly Dao of this land still has a future?"

Wu Pengcang once again interrupted the old woman with a cold tone and asked coldly:
“People in the Great Wilderness of the Western Regions are eating each other, the Great Wall Guards in the North are out of control, the Eastern Peak Karma is experiencing turmoil for unknown reasons, and more than half of the Southern Province has been devoured by evil cultivators!
"Tell me, what future do you have if you stay in this land?! Are you just waiting to die like those old-fashioned monsters?"

His voice became more and more excited, and finally turned into an almost roar.

The terrifying pressure from the ninth level of the Nascent Soul made the four ancestors feel their souls turbulent and they dared not say another word.

"The Teaching Nation, ah, the Teaching Nation."

After venting his anger, Wu Pengcang revealed a sinister smile:
“Since that mercenary group was able to kill the evil king, it means that the teachings in that country must have a different way of heaven from Natlan.

“Once I have mastered the complete Heavenly Dao of a foreign country, why should I worry about not being able to reshape the Heavenly Dao of Natlan?

"By then, I will be the only immortal in this world, and the Wu family will become the ruler of the entire world!"

After these words were spoken with strong ambition, the four Yuanying ancestors of the Wu family knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Wu Pengcang.

In terms of talent and potential, Wu Pengcang is undoubtedly the best in Natlan. In terms of means and ambition, he has overthrown the emperor of the empire, monopolized the military power, and frightened the kings of the five states into compromise.

Even the residual soul of the evil king in the Wu family's forbidden area was refined by him, allowing the entire Wu family to obtain the extraordinary means for the foreign evil demons to seize the way of heaven.

"Not only the Teaching Nation, but also Liaozhou Divine Land and Oran will..."

Just as Wu Pengcang was bathing in the starlight, with his arms outstretched as he spoke of his great plan, his expression suddenly changed, and he roared in anger:

"Who dares to mess with the cause and effect of my Wu family?!"

This sentence was amplified countless times by his cultivation, like a thunderclap, almost causing the entire inner city of the imperial capital to shake violently from the pressure.

If there hadn't been a soundproof formation set up around the astrological platform, this sentence would have spread throughout the entire imperial capital.

It wasn't just Wu Pengcang who looked horrified.

The four Yuanying ancestors of the Wu family all spat out blood, climbed up in disbelief and widened their eyes.

The Nascent Soul Patriarch with a goatee seemed to remember something, and he covered his chest and roared in fear:

"This technique is about controlling fate! The only one who can change the way of heaven with such brutal means is the former great master Zhuo Haokong!"

"Impossible! Didn't he die long ago? And the Heavenly Grade Spiritual Weapon is also... Damn it! Quickly go to the Heavenly Dao Altar in Si Nei!"

Wu Pengcang suddenly opened his eyes wide, and before he could finish his words, he eagerly used his body skills to rush to the national altar where the Wu family controlled the Natlan Tiandao.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

Including him, all the Wu family monks throughout Natlan felt that an invisible hand had cut something off from them.

"puff!"

Wu Pengcang suddenly fell to the ground when he was halfway through the rush. He felt a pain in his chest and spat out a mouthful of blood.

At this moment, his cultivation level actually fell to the eighth level of the Nascent Soul Realm.

Not only him, but all the Nascent Soul ancestors of the Wu family, whether they were in seclusion or outside, saw their cultivation level drop by one level at this moment.

"Backlash! No! Who is it? Who is it!!!"

Wu Pengcang stood up in a panic, and ignoring the surprised looks of the imperial guards who were surrounding him, he let out a heart-wrenching roar towards the sky.

And just at this moment, an old ancestor of the Wu family flew in from outside the imperial city, covering his chest with blood at the corner of his mouth and landed in front of him.

"Peng... Master Imperial Master, something terrible has happened!

"The life tablet of the third ancestor of the family has shattered. He died in Nanzhou!"

After hearing the words of the family ancestor, Wu Pengcang seemed to have finally found the answer to the collapse of the Wu family.

With the support of the guards around him, he used up almost all of his skills and gritted his teeth to say five words in a determined tone:
"Evil Cultivator... Heavenly Evil Alliance!"

The surrounding guards and the ministers from the imperial capital who rushed to the scene upon hearing the news all heard clearly what Wu Pengcang said.

Everyone was horrified at what could have made the Grand Master so hateful towards the Southern Province Evil Cultivator Alliance, and many ministers from Southern Province had expressions of excitement and mockery on their faces.

Prior to this, the issue of resolving the rebellion of the evil cultivators in Nanzhou had always been suppressed and delayed by the Grand Master and the ministers of the Wu family in the court.

Obviously, dealing with the evil cultivators is the most urgent task, but the Grand Master and the Wu family have put the issue of punishing the Northern Great Wall Guards for disobeying military orders on the agenda.

In their opinion, Wu Pengcang and his family, who looked so miserable at this moment, were just raising a tiger to harm themselves and would reap what they sowed!
At the same time, in the ruins of Dakang County in Nanzhou, which had long since become a dead place.

Under the night sky shrouded by black clouds, tens of thousands of evil righteous men from various sects in Nanzhou were dressed in white mourning clothes and were extremely silent, which was extremely abnormal.

It was as if a grand mourning funeral was going on.

And in the center of the gaze of countless evil cultivators, the ruins of the former county magistrate's mansion in Dakang County have been cleaned up, and replaced by a magnificent mourning hall that is almost comparable to a palace.

But if you look closely, you can see that the area around the mourning hall is littered with dried corpses and skeletons, so many that they cannot be counted with the naked eye.

A gust of cold wind blew by, and the air seemed to be filled with the painful wails of countless wronged souls.

The most conspicuous among these corpses was a dried-up corpse still wearing a black and white Taoist robe, with a look of fear on its face until death.

It turned out to be the third ancestor of the Wu family who had been drained of all vitality.

Song Qianji, wearing white mourning clothes and with bloodshot eyes, had one foot on the dried corpse of the third ancestor of the Wu family. He kept tearing the wailing Nascent Soul into pieces bit by bit and rubbing it into pills.

As if sensing something, Song Qianji, who had already become a questioner, suddenly raised his head and looked towards the east with his scarlet eyes.

After crushing the remaining Yuanying of the third ancestor of the Wu family who was constantly torturing him in his hand and swallowing it alive, Song Qianji raised his mouth to a twisted smile of bloodthirsty madness:
"The person who killed my junior sister... has found you."
