I searched for corpses in the Wuding River to extract entries

Above the boundless blue sea,
A magnificent heavenly palace seemed to grow out of the clouds, suspended in the void, unfettered by the earthly constraints.

The heavenly palace is surrounded by clouds and mist, with pavilions and towers scattered in an orderly manner. Every brick and tile exudes a faint fairy spirit.
It looks like the jade buildings in fairyland, which makes people believe that this is the holy land where the gods roam in the legend.

In this magnificent complex suspended in the sky,
The most eye-catching thing is the mountain gate that looks like a real dragon leaping high into the sky.

It is standing quietly at the forefront of the Heavenly Palace, guarding the gateway to the Holy Land of Tianhai.

Deep inside the heart of the Heavenly Palace, hidden behind the dense mist,

There is an extremely quiet quiet room, which is the core place of Tianhai Holy Land and also the place where the Lord of the Holy Land practices in seclusion.

In this quiet room, the eyes of the Holy Lord of Tianhai suddenly opened.

There was a gleam of disbelief in his eyes: "Long San, is dead?!"

Long San was almost as powerful as the Holy Lord of Tianhai. His death was undoubtedly a great blow to the Holy Land.
But from his point of view, this is actually a good thing.

The Holy Lord of Tianhai felt mixed emotions. He was well aware of how powerful Long San was, and he also knew that Long San was going to the State of Qi.

This made him wonder, could it be that Qi Tianhua personally ended Long San's life?
But based on what he knew, Long San and Emperor Qi should have a very good relationship, so why would they suddenly take action?

Thinking of this, Tianhai Saint Lord's brows couldn't help but frown, and his heart was filled with waves that were difficult to calm down.

Qi Tianhua is the Emperor of Qi. Since the founding of the State of Qi, the throne has never changed.

This is because Emperor Qi is extremely powerful, and he was a cultivator who once followed the God to attack the Maha Realm.

Moreover, the Holy Lord of Tianhai knew a secret about Emperor Qi, which was that Qi Tianhua had obtained a complete inheritance left by the Divine Sovereign by chance many years ago.

This inheritance was extraordinary. It not only made Emperor Qi's strength soar, far beyond the scope of ordinary gods,

It even allowed him to touch the edge of the long river of time.

This level of cultivation is unprecedented even in the entire Tianhai.
Only the Tianhai Patriarch who created the glorious Tianhai Holy Land and was feared by all can be compared with him.

But the glory of Patriarch Tianhai eventually became a thing of the past.

In his later years, in order to pursue the illusory destiny, he resolutely chose to shut himself up in seclusion.

Trying to break through the bottleneck of the divine realm and comprehend the way of time.

Unfortunately, this gamble ended with Tianhai Patriarch going insane and committing suicide.

Since then, although Tianhai Holy Land still has a constant stream of powerful gods,
But the strength of each generation gradually fades like the afterglow of the setting sun.

By the time of the current Tianhai Saint Lord, his cultivation strength can no longer be compared with those of his predecessors who conquered the Maha Realm back then.

Facing a powerful person like Qi Tianhua who was almost standing on the threshold of the long river of time, Tianhai Saint Lord was unwilling to give in.

But he also clearly realized that even if he tried his best, he would probably find it difficult to match him.

Moreover, as Qi Tianhua, the emperor of Qi, became more and more powerful, the pressure on him as the master of Tianhai Holy Land also increased day by day.
It was as if an invisible mountain was pressing down on his heart, making it difficult for him to breathe.

This pressure not only comes from the fear of the Emperor Qi's strength, but also from the worry about his ambitious ambitions.

Moreover, his most gifted disciple Chu Junyin was so talented that his talent was even far superior to his.

However, due to his identity issue, he was forced to give up his position as Daoist Son by Qi Tianhua and other elders in the holy land.

From this we can get a glimpse of how great the influence of the Emperor of Qi was.

If it was really Emperor Qi who ended Long San's life personally, it means that Emperor Qi is very likely to take action against Tianhai Holy Land, or even want to establish his own holy land and break away from Tianhai's rule.

When he thought of this, Saint Tianhai's heart began to beat like a drum, and an indescribable sense of crisis enveloped his whole body.

If this is true, I am afraid he will not be able to escape the assassination of Emperor Qi.

In order to seize the opportunity, the Holy Lord of Tianhai immediately laid out a few bamboo sticks and began to tell the fortune.

Although Emperor Qi is strong, the Holy Lord of Tianhai is also a powerful god.
He has his own unique way of understanding and applying the great Dao, and can naturally calculate some things.

Just as he was concentrating on trying to catch a clue from the hexagram,
The accident happened suddenly. In just a few blinks of an eye,

The divination stick in the hand of Saint Tianhai suddenly shattered without any warning, scattered all over the ground, and made a crisp and harsh sound.

"Qi Tianhua... has fallen..."

An indescribable astonishment surged in the heart of Tianhai Saint.

The news of Long San's death had not yet been fully digested, and then the Emperor Qi passed away.

These two powerful men died almost at the same time, with only a few sticks of incense sticks between them.
With such a coincidence, how can one not feel suspicious?
However, Qi Tianhua's death was undoubtedly an unexpected relief for the Holy Lord of Tianhai.

This powerful man who used to be on par with him, and even had the potential to surpass him,
Now that it no longer exists, it has undoubtedly lifted a huge weight off his heart.

But this relief did not last long, as a new and more pressing question emerged in his mind.
The being who can easily end Qi Tianhua's life, his real target is the Tianhai Holy Land, or is it just the Qi State?

The answer to this question is crucial to the future of Tianhai Holy Land.

If the mysterious strong man is coming for Tianhai Holy Land, then the entire Holy Land will face an unprecedented crisis.
And if it were only for Qi State, Tianhai Holy Land might be able to avoid this storm temporarily.

But no matter what the truth is, one undeniable fact is that there is someone who can kill Qi Tianhua.
He also has the ability to move into the Tianhai Holy Land as if no one is there and take his life easily.

"It seems that even in this Tianhai Holy Land, absolute safety cannot be guaranteed."

The Holy Lord of Tianhai sighed secretly in his heart.

He slowly stood up and walked out of the quiet room.

The Holy Lord of Tianhai is now preparing to go to Qi State in person to see with his own eyes what is happening there.

……

This day was destined to be remembered by countless Qi monks.

The dragon's turning over, which could be described as the end of the world, and the scarlet hand that seemed to extend from hell, became a great calamity for all the cultivators.

Although the mortals were basically safe, the monks suffered heavy losses.

Moreover, it was so sudden and unexpected that even those cultivators who did not die had to start over because their magic power and blood were severely damaged.

As the Holy Lord of Tianhai witnessed the devastated land, an indescribable compassion surged in his heart.

He used his supernatural powers and supreme magic to fill most of the cracks one by one.

However, he was powerless to do anything for the monks who were injured in the disaster.

According to what Saint Lord Tianhai learned from questioning the remaining monks, they only knew that it was the sudden flipping of the earth dragon, the turbulence of spiritual power, and the appearance of those scarlet tentacles.

I don’t know anything else.

Although the Holy Lord of Tianhai felt heavy in his heart, his steps never stopped and he continued to rush towards the imperial city of Qi.

When he stepped into the once prosperous but now devastated imperial city, the scene before him made him tremble with fear.

The walls were broken, blood flowed like a river, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood and despair.
It seems that every inch of land is telling the story of the tragedy.

Fortunately, before Emperor Qi fled, he used the secret treasure of the God to revive some monks. From a monk who survived the fierce battle in the palace, the Holy Lord of Tianhai learned a shocking news.

The person who killed Emperor Qi was actually his most promising disciple Chu Junyin.

This news was like a bolt from the blue, striking the heart of the Holy Lord of Tianhai.
The shock and confusion in his heart surged like a tide.

The name Chu Junyin carries too many expectations and memories for the Holy Lord of Tianhai.

His talent is one of the rare geniuses even in the hundreds of thousands of years of history of Tianhai Holy Land.

Thousands of years ago, Chu Junyin's Dao heart was broken by the scheme of Emperor Qi.
From then on, his path of cultivation came to a standstill and he made no further progress.

The Holy Lord of Tianhai knows that talent is important on the path of cultivation.

But character and understanding are the key to whether a person can go further.

Chu Junyin's experience made him heartbroken, but he could do nothing about it.

When he learned that his disciple Chu Junyin's Taoism heart was destroyed, the anger in Tianhai Saint Lord's heart erupted like a volcano.

That was his disciple whom he had high hopes for, and the star of hope that would carry the future of Tianhai Holy Land.
But overnight, his faith collapsed and his path of cultivation came to an abrupt halt.

However, facing the divine weapon of Emperor Qi, even though the Holy Lord of Tianhai was extremely unwilling and angry,
I could only suppress the anger in my heart and choose to endure it.

He knew very well that with his current strength, he could not withstand the attack of the divine weapon, let alone seek justice for Chu Junyin.

But now, Chu Junyin has burst out with enough strength to kill Emperor Qi.

This news was like a bolt from the blue, shocking Saint Lord Tianhai so much that he couldn't recover for a long time.

He couldn't understand how a disciple whose Tao heart was destroyed and whose cultivation had stagnated for a thousand years could possess such amazing strength.

The Holy Lord of Tianhai knew very well that Chu Junyin had a deep hatred for the State of Qi, and this hatred was enough to make him do anything.

In shock and confusion, Saint Lord Tianhai also caught a glimpse of something unusual.

He believed that even with Chu Junyin's talent, it would be impossible for him to suddenly burst out with such amazing strength.

Unless there is a more powerful existence behind him, controlling everything in secret.

And this existence is most likely a powerful god, or even more terrifying.

Thinking of this, a strong sense of crisis surged in the heart of Tianhai Saint Lord.

He understood that if Chu Junyin was really possessed by a powerful god,

Then what he will face will not only be the destruction of Qi State, but also a disaster that will affect the entire Tianhai Holy Land.

After hesitating for a long time, the Holy Lord of Tianhai finally decided to go to the State of Chu in person to find out the truth.

He wanted to see with his own eyes what the disciple who once had high hopes for had become.

Whether Chu Junyin's strength increased greatly due to a fortuitous encounter, or he was unfortunately possessed by a certain powerful god, these are not problems that can be solved by escaping.

When he stepped into the State of Chu, he did not choose to conceal his identity.
Because in such a situation, any covering up is unnecessary.

Only by revealing one's identity can one meet Chu Junyin in the most direct and efficient way.

It was not as complicated and tortuous as imagined, and the Holy Lord of Tianhai met Chu Junyin smoothly.

Just like the last time they met hundreds of years ago, this time they also met again in Chu Junyin's palace.

When their eyes met again, Tianhai Saint Lord was surprised to find that Chu Junyin did not seem to have changed much.

The Holy Lord of Tianhai could feel that Chu Junyin's spiritual aura, although still familiar, was more elusive than before.

This change made Saint Lord Tianhai feel both relieved and worried.

Fortunately, Chu Junyin's strength has indeed made a qualitative leap.
This proves that he did not sink in the collapse of his spiritual faith, but found a new direction.

The worry is, is there something else hidden behind this change?

Sitting in the familiar yet slightly weathered pavilion, Saint Tianhai's state of mind is no longer the same as before.

The one who received him was a slightly fat middle-aged Taoist priest. He exuded a fiery blood energy, and his cultivation had reached the Pure Yang realm.

Within the State of Chu, he was undoubtedly a frontier governor.

It is not surprising to see him in Chu Junyin's palace.

However, what surprised the Saint Lord of Tianhai was that this middle-aged Taoist priest actually called himself his Grandmaster.

Doesn’t this mean that this middle-aged Taoist is Chu Junyin’s disciple?

With full of doubts, he asked Chu Junyin for confirmation.
And the answer he got was just as he had guessed.

What was even more shocking was that from Chu Junyin's mouth, Tianhai Saint Lord also learned a shocking piece of news.

It turned out that Emperor Qi and Long San both died at the hands of Chu Junyin.

This news was like a thunderclap that exploded in the heart of Saint Tianhai, shocking him so much that he couldn't recover for a long time.

However, no matter how shocked we were, the outcome could not be changed; the death of these two people was a foregone conclusion.

And to some extent, the death of these two people may not be entirely a bad thing for the Tianhai Holy Land.

At least, the Holy Lord of Tianhai can take this opportunity to concentrate the power of Tianhai Holy Land in his own hands.
This will undoubtedly be of great help to his future layout and planning.

Although he was full of curiosity and confusion about Chu Junyin's rapid growth in strength, the Holy Lord of Tianhai did not ask.

He knew very well that this was Chu Junyin's adventure, and it was the most taboo topic among cultivators.

Everyone has his own secrets, everyone has his own opportunities,
As a teacher, all he could do was give Chu Junyin enough trust and support.

After carefully observing Chu Junyin's words and actions, Saint Lord Tianhai felt an inexplicable sense of security in his heart.

Judging from Chu Junyin's words and actions, he should not have been possessed by another spirit.

This made him secretly relieved. At least from the current situation, Chu Junyin was still the disciple he was familiar with.

After a moment's silence, the Holy Lord of Tianhai slowly spoke:
"Jun Yin, are you willing to return to Tianhai Holy Land with me? With your current strength, even if I pass the position of Holy Lord directly to you, I'm afraid no one will be able to raise any objections."

To the surprise of Lord Tianhai, Chu Junyin rejected his invitation without hesitation.

There was no hesitation or reluctance in the tone of refusal, as if the decision had already been made.

The Holy Lord of Tianhai was slightly stunned, then he was relieved.

So the Holy Lord of Tianhai did not force him any further, but just nodded gently, then turned and left the palace.

He knew that the Chu State was in a troubled time.
The death of Long San allowed him to seize the opportunity to consolidate power, while the fall of Emperor Qi gradually calmed people down.

All of this is an opportunity for the future development of Tianhai Holy Land.

Chu Junyin did not choose to leave because the expansion of the blood river was no longer something that Tianhai could accommodate, so it would be the same no matter where he was. (End of this chapter)
