Actions of All Parties

As Su Yan reversed the flow and completed a full Great Cycle within her body,

a prompt suddenly sounded in Chen Feng’s mind.

【Disciple Su Yan has mastered the basics of the Northern Darkness Divine Skill, achievement unlocked: Master Teacher】.

【Reward: Master’s Northern Darkness Divine Skill realm elevated to the Unity of Heaven and Man】.

“Whoa!”

“Amazing!”

“She learned it all at once!”

Chen Feng hadn’t expected that, despite Su Yan’s older age and physical disability,

her learning ability would be so extraordinary.

She mastered the skill in one go.

Originally, Chen Feng thought it would take several days of instruction.

But now, with his Northern Darkness Divine Skill perfected, and his confidence bolstered by his participation in the Kunlun Founding Ceremony,

he was more assured than ever.

Su Yan looked at Chen Feng in shock,

suddenly understanding many things.

She finally realized just how formidable her master truly was.

No wonder she was just a martial novice four months ago,

and now she had become a martial practitioner.

Such a miraculous technique—upgrading was inevitable.

Seeing that his disciple had already grasped the basics, Chen Feng couldn’t help but warn her:

“Su Yan, I’m teaching you this technique not so you can harm others.”

“Of course, I’m giving it to you for your own use.”

“But I hope you’ll walk the righteous path and not hurt the innocent.”

“I want those whose qi and blood you take to be truly deserving of it.”

Chen Feng feared that if Su Yan was caught, she might betray him as her master.

If that happened, he would be labeled a member of the Swallowing Heaven Club and be locked away in a dead-end job.

Su Yan smiled faintly.

A word popped into her mind:

“Saintly!”

“Master, don’t worry. If I get caught, I’ll just say I’m a member of the Swallowing Heaven Club.”

Chen Feng gave an awkward smile.

“That’s not what I meant.”

Curious, Su Yan asked,

“Master, if you have such a miraculous martial skill, why has your cultivation progressed so slowly?”

Chen Feng answered seriously,

“To be honest, I’ve never absorbed anyone’s qi and blood.”

Never absorbed anyone’s qi and blood?

Yeah, right!

Su Yan didn’t believe it.

If he hadn’t absorbed even one person,

how could he have increased his qi and blood by two hundred points in just four months?

What a liar!

What she didn’t know was that just yesterday, Chen Feng had increased his qi and blood by another two hundred points.

Otherwise, she would have despised her master even more.

Even a young Martial Saint probably couldn’t do that.

“Since I’ve already learned the Northern Darkness Divine Skill, I’ll go back and practice on my own.”

Now that Su Yan had acquired such a miraculous skill, she just wanted to quickly refine the qi and blood within her body.

To rapidly increase her cultivation, aiming to break through to Grand Master or even Martial Sovereign.

All in preparation for the slaughter of the Nine Great Families.

Chen Feng nodded.

Although he had reached the Unity of Heaven and Man realm with the Northern Darkness Divine Skill, teaching it was truly difficult.

He couldn’t just bring someone over and say, “Master absorbs a breath, disciple learns to absorb a breath!”

In the end, Chen Feng still felt uneasy and said,

“This technique is too special. I can’t teach you step by step.”

“You’ll have to rely on your own practice, slowly and steadily. Don’t rush.”

“You absolutely must not take the wrong path.”

Su Yan replied,

“Master, rest assured, I will never harm the innocent.”

But in her heart, she thought,

“In this world, who is truly innocent?”

Western Continent.

Alliance Tower.

A secret conference room with only three people inside.

The Western Continent’s Governor looked at the leaders of the Southern and Northern Continents and revealed his plan.

“The Kunlun Founding Ceremony of Great Xia, which happens once every sixty years, is approaching.”

“This time, we must find a way to sever the Great Xia Dragon Vein.”

"Only by doing this can we shatter Great Xia’s dominance over the world."

"Then, when the time comes, we’ll rise up together and divide Great Xia among ourselves."

"Next, let’s discuss how many troops you plan to send this time."

One by one, numbers were reported.

In the end, the total added up to over a million people.

Every time Kunlun Mountain opens, a vast fog spreads over the entire mountain range, drifting deep into Great Xia’s borders.

Because the fog covers such an enormous area, it gives outsiders like them a golden opportunity.

Moreover, visibility within the fog is extremely low. As long as you keep your bearings, it’s easy to enter the sprawling mountain wilderness.

The Western Continent’s governor smiled.

Throughout history, every time Great Xia’s Kunlun Mountain opened, the number of troops they sent never exceeded a hundred thousand.

Relying on generations of accumulation,

they had obtained more and more of Great Xia’s martial arts manuals.

And they had recruited and bribed more and more traitors.

This time, they decided to strike all at once—to destroy Great Xia’s dragon vein and sever its fortune.

At this moment, the Southern Continent’s governor spoke up:

"Can we really trust that Great Xia noble family cooperating with us?"

The Northern Continent’s governor frowned in thought:

"We can’t fully trust them. We’ll decide based on the situation."

"Anyway, once this cooperation ends, that’ll be the time to eliminate them."

Finally, the Western Continent’s governor took out three photos.

"This man is a newly emerged prodigy from Great Xia. On the back are his detailed records."

"His martial arts realm has reached the pinnacle of the Three Heavenly-Level Arts."

"He’s also one of our main targets this time."

"Try to capture him alive. If you can’t, then destroy him. In any case, we can’t let this kid return to Great Xia alive."

At the same time,

within the Great Xia Yelü family,

all the elders gathered together.

"Kunlun Mountain is about to open. The Western Road has already been contacted."

"As long as we help sever Great Xia’s dragon vein, we’ll become the number one noble family on the Western Continent."

An elder frowned and said:

"Do we really have to become traitors?"

"Isn’t there any other way?"

The current clan leader sighed.

"I don’t want to be a traitor either, but there’s no choice."

"Among the nine great families, our Yelü family has declined the most."

"The only martial ancestor stationed in the clan is nearing the end of his life, and there’s no successor."

"Once the ancestor is gone, we’ll be at the mercy of the other eight families, divided and conquered."

Another elder said:

"Regarding Kunlun Mountain, let’s not rush to pick sides too early."

"Wait and see how things unfold. Whichever side grows stronger, that’s the one we join."

After he finished speaking, the room fell silent for a moment before everyone nodded in agreement.

At the War God Martial Hall,

Xiang Jingpeng looked at the five men before him and said:

"You are all veterans of the War God Martial Hall."

"You must have seen how badly the hall has suffered recently."

"If it weren’t for me spending nearly a million to grease the wheels upstairs and downstairs, our hall would have already shut down."

"All this is because of Chen Feng. I’ve heard that this kid will also be participating in this Kunlun Mountain event."

"This time, Chen Feng must die."

The five senior coaches of the War God Martial Hall all nodded in agreement.

They hated Chen Feng to their core.

Not because of any deep affection for the hall,

but because they all held shares in it.

The recent troubles of the War God Martial Hall had caused each of them heavy losses.

Not only had the martial arts school’s reputation taken a nosedive, but they also couldn’t attract any new students.

On top of that, a group of trainees were demanding to quit the school.

“That kid only has 300 health points. The five of us, all top-tier warriors, could crush him like an ant.”

“The Kunlun Mountains are vast and boundless. No one would even notice if someone died there.”

“Master, we’ll bring you good news soon!”

The Wei family of Saint City.

Wei Xu’s face was grim.

Three times in a row, they had failed to deal with Chen Feng.

This matter had already stirred discontent within the family.

“This time, you will personally lead the team into the Kunlun Mountains to capture Chen Feng.”

“If you fail again, don’t bother coming back.”

The cold, soft voice made sweat break out on Wei Xu’s forehead.

Before the young master standing in front of him, he didn’t dare to lift his head.

They were both members of the same family, both surnamed Wei.

But their statuses were worlds apart.

Leaving the young master’s office, Wei Xu personally selected one hundred elite warriors.

“Chen Feng! This time, I refuse to believe I can’t catch you.”

Outside, the Martial Dao Guild was watching closely, so the Wei family couldn’t act directly.

But within the vast Kunlun Mountains, they would have no restraints whatsoever.
