Go Get Stronger

Xing Yunhai had been hiding his true strength.

This matter instantly made everyone aware that something was fishy.

The infighting within this family is not simple either.

What is the relationship between the Xing family's collateral branches and the Heavenly Palace? An Yi pondered and asked.

Hua Fengyu shook his head: There's no real relationship. The few powerful ones among the Xing family's collateral branches were all killed by Murong Qinghong.

An Yi raised an eyebrow: Then why wasn't Xing Yunhai killed?

Hua Fengyu said: Because he wasn't powerful!

An Yi: ...

Xing Yunhai is Xing Yunjun's full-blooded younger brother and should have been the rightful successor to the Heavenly Palace.

Although Murong Qinghong is ruthless, she still didn't dare to openly move against Xing Yunhai.

She could still forcefully pin the hat of rebellion on some of the Xing family's collateral branches to eliminate dissidents.

But Xing Yunhai was different; his status was too sensitive.

If she really acted against him, putting aside everything else, just the court of public opinion would be enough to make her restless and sleepless.

Xing Yunhai's subsequent pig-fattening-style growth allowed Murong Qinghong to secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

Just a good-for-nothing playboy! He won't amount to much.

Of course, Murong Qinghong never imagined that a child in his teens back then could possess such deep scheming!

Two at the Heavenly Apex stage, interesting. An Yi said slowly, raising an eyebrow.

With the Heavenly Palace embroiled in internal strife, their Asura Sect could relax a bit.

But they still couldn't let their guard down!

Next, no matter who wins between them.

The Asura Sect will become the next target.

How strong is the Heavenly Apex stage?

Shangguan Qianqian inquired.

In her past life, the battle between Long Aoyun and Murong Qinghong was not known to the world.

Therefore, the strength of the Heavenly Apex stage had always been a mystery.

An Yi shook his head: It's hard to describe, but very strong overall.

This stage is more like a watershed for strength. The leap from the Spirit Gathering stage to the Heavenly Apex stage is a qualitative transformation.

If both Murong Qinghong and Xing Yunhai are Heavenly Apex stage martial artists.

Then for their Asura Sect to take down the Heavenly Palace would be nothing short of a pipe dream.

Everyone fell silent for a moment.

A sect entrenched in the Immortal Gate world for a thousand years had far more profound heritage than they had imagined.

Lin Chen finished wiping his Cloud-Splitting Staff and slowly walked to the door.

Hey, where are you going?

An Yi saw this and asked with a raised eyebrow.

To get stronger!

Lin Chen said plainly, pushed open the door, and walked straight out.

He had thought his strength had already reached the peak of this world.

But after the battle with Xing Yunjun, where he was forced to flee like a rat under overwhelming power, he was thoroughly awakened.

His current self was merely a frog at the bottom of a well, viewing the sky from his limited perspective.

His pride would not allow him to lose so miserably!

What's up with the second boss?

Tu Langlang scratched his head and asked curiously.

An Yi stared at Lin Chen's retreating back, slowly let out a breath, and his expression turned serious.

Although he always acted carefree and cheerful, his heart wasn't as joyful as he appeared on the surface.

The existence of the Heavenly Palace was like a massive mountain, weighing heavily on him, making it hard to breathe.

If he were still a lone wolf like before, it would be one thing.

One person full, the whole family fed.

With his formidable personal strength, no one could do anything to him.

But now, he was the leader of the Asura Sect!

He had to shoulder the responsibilities of a leader!

Ding! Triggered side quest [Savage Growth]!

An Yi: ...

He was just talking; the system didn't have to take it so seriously.

An Yi curiously opened the task description.

[Savage Growth]

Task Description: Reach the Spirit Gathering stage within ten days!

Task Rewards: Evil Power +20! Reputation +1200! [Shadow Wings] x1!

An Yi raised an eyebrow.

What the hell, it actually wants him to get stronger himself!

Then what's the point of having this damn system!

Suppressing his anger, An Yi already saw the mission countdown on the system interface.

I might need to go out for a few days. An Yi said.

Shangguan Qianqian said solemnly: What about the task of persuading the Bai family?

Currently.

Among the three great families of the Heavenly Palace, the Murong family has been destroyed.

The Hua family can already be confirmed as an ally.

Only the Bai family is the most indecisive. If they become an opponent, they would be an extremely troublesome existence.

Qianqian, I leave it to you!

An Yi patted Shangguan Qianqian's shoulder and said seriously.

Shangguan Qianqian narrowed her eyes: Are you trying to run off again?

An Yi: ...

This really wasn't his fault; it was all the damn system's doing.

After An Yi left, Shangguan Qianqian's expression turned cold as she looked at everyone: Next, who will be responsible for negotiating with the Bai family?

Everyone remained silent.

This was a tough nut to crack.

Hua Fengyu said: My Hua family can step forward to invite the Bai family, but as for your side...

Ning Er volunteered: I am proficient in negotiation and discussion...

Shangguan Qianqian nodded: Then it's settled, Bai Xiu will handle it. Does anyone have any objections?

At that moment, Bai Xiu was lying back in his chair, fast asleep.

The others shook their heads.

Very well, unanimously approved!

In the inn room.

Via, a warrior from the Ghost Hand clan, looked bewildered at An Yi and asked uneasily: B, Boss, I wonder, why you, you called for me...

An Yi raised an eyebrow. Was that how the pause was supposed to go?

Oh, it's nothing much.

An Yi stared intently at Via's thick, large arms and said leisurely: Your hands are so thick and big; there must be some reason for that.

This, this...

Via looked completely confused. Did the boss call him because he had his eye on his hands?

In our Ghost Hand clan, we apply the spring water from our tribe since childhood, that's why...

An Yi grinned, revealing a smile: Perfect, that's the one!

He knew it! In this world, it was impossible for an entire clan to possess Dark Spirit Veins without a reason. There had to be a cause!

Back then, all members of their Night Gate had Dark Spirit Veins due to some special circumstances.

Boss, what do you mean... Via showed a curious expression.

An Yi patted his shoulder: Take me to your tribe. We leave now!

One day later.

The Tianluo Forest echoed with the roars of beasts.

Countless demon beasts ran amok, and birds filled the sky in chaotic flight.

Because, the man who had slaughtered countless demon beasts had returned.

Kid, do you know why you can't utilize the power of the dragon vein? It's because of your body!

An aged voice came from within the jade pendant.

Lin Chen's gaze turned grave.

He had long been aware of this problem.

The jade pendant was like a lake, and his body was like a wooden bucket.

No matter how vast the lake or how much water it held, he couldn't draw too much water with this bucket!

Now, what he needed was to constantly expand the bucket to hold more water.

The Vajra Art you cultivate has body-tempering effects. Unfortunately, you possess the wind attribute. The Vajra Art only has auxiliary effects for you. It would be even better if you had the metal attribute.

The aged voice sounded somewhat regretful.

Lin Chen said slowly: Is there a way to increase my strength in a short time?

Hah, don't you know who I am!

The voice from the jade pendant carried a tone of pride: However, you must endure it!

Lin Chen's expression remained indifferent as he stepped towards the depths of the Tianluo Forest.

Vast amounts of energy radiated outwards. From afar, the demon beasts scattered in panic!

Wait, I want to know, what happened while I was asleep?

Bai Xiu yawned.

He completely didn't understand how he ended up being responsible for negotiating with the Bai family.

Just because his surname was also Bai?

This is the Immortal Gate world; trying to claim kinship won't work!

Big brother, I'll help you!

Ning Er patted his chest, then pulled Tu Langlang over: Of course, Langlang too!

Tu Langlang waved shyly at Bai Xiu.

Bai Xiu felt even more speechless, but his lazy eyes also turned serious.

Winning over the Bai family won't be easy.

We must figure out the interests at stake here.

By the way, where is the Bai family located?

Celestial Palace.
