Chapter 102: Bai Qiutang Visits

  Bai Qiutang followed Luo Rou out of the small wooden house. Outside, about 200 feet away, a line of twelve burly men covered in blood were walking towards them while chatting.

  These twelve men all had wounds on their bodies, with various claw marks on their faces, arms and thighs, looking very disheveled. However, these twelve big men didn't mind at all, and a look of comfort appeared on their faces.

  "Second Leader!" The twelve people looked at Luo Hui, who was walking towards them with big strides, and called out in unison, while also casting a slight glance at Bai Qiutang beside him.

  Luó Hù nodded slightly and said: "You've encountered quite a few dangers, haven't you?"

  "There's no big problem, as long as we don't encounter a fourth-order demonic beast. For us, it's not a huge issue." A middle-aged man who was standing in the middle of the twelve people and looked relatively small and ordinary said.

  "Alright, you all must be tired from this journey, go rest!" Luo Hua waved his hand and the twelve of them headed towards the water pool.

  "I need a good bath, I'm covered in blood and sweat, it's so uncomfortable!"

  "Go, I'm going to take a bath too!"

  "Let's go together!"

  Watching this group of men walk by, Bai Qiudong's eyebrows furrowed slightly, he felt ignored.

  "What do you think they're doing?" Luo Rou asked Bai Qiutang with a faint tone while looking at his furrowed brow.

  "Are they cultivators? I feel that the true energy within their bodies is not dense, at most equivalent to a late-stage martial artist's level. However, they give me a strange feeling! That feeling is like facing a powerful demon beast!"

  Lu E nodded and said: "Not bad, they were all cultivated by me and Luo Cheng! No, actually they were brought out by the young master! However, they are under my and Luo Cheng's management!"

  "They were originally supposed to follow the young master to conquer the world. Now that the young master is gone, they are our trump card for avenging him!"

  Bai Qiutang was somewhat skeptical, although he felt that powerful aura like a monster from these people, but for him it seemed there was no threat at all. "Do they have this ability?"

  Lu E's eyes narrowed, saying: "Each of them is not extremely strong, and they are equivalent to ordinary martial kings in the later period. However, when the twelve of them join forces, they have the power to kill a Martial Emperor in his early days! And they are just the strongest combination among this batch of people, others may not be as good as them, but they are not much weaker!"

  "Ah...!"

  Bai Qiutang took a deep breath and said, "How is that possible!"

  "You'll know how formidable they are when they make their move!" Luo Hui said casually without explaining.

  "Even if they are as formidable as you say, if they think they can take on the Wu Ding clan just with their own strength, they're looking for death!" White Autumn Hall was surprised by how powerful this group of people was, but he didn't think they had the actual ability to contend against the Wu Ding clan.

  Luó Hu did not refute him, knowing it was a fact. He said, "Since you've come, there must be some good news!"

  After all, Bai Qiutang is in charge of uniting those forces that were deceived by Wuding six months ago to fight against Wuding together!

  "I don't fully understand the forces that those people are in, I only know of the five major forces: Dà Cāng Lǐng's Pursuing Life Building, Mǎ Bù Pō's Yú Family, Lín Guān Chéng's Féng Family, Shuǐ Huá Chéng's Tiān Qǐ Zōng, and Dí Mǎ Chéng's Half Moon Sect."

  "In the past six months, I have visited Dashang Ridge's Pursuit of Life Building, Shuihuacheng's Tianqi Sect, Lingguancheng's Feng Family, and Dima City's Half Moon Sect. As for Mapo Slope's Yu Family, I didn't dare to go."

  However, the Da Cang Ling Zhui Ming Lou seems to be wary of Wu Ding Shi and is not prepared to take action. The Di Ma Cheng Ban Yue Zong is still hesitating, while the Shui Hua Cheng Tian Qi Zong and Lin Guan Cheng Feng Jia have readily agreed.

  Bai Qiutang slowly spoke of his experiences and achievements over the past half year. Upon hearing this result, Luo Hui's face sank, saying: "Are there any Martial Emperors among these two forces?"

  Bai Qiutang smiled wryly and shook his head: "No, but Liu Yidao of the Tianqi Sect has a combat power close to that of a Martial Emperor!"

  "This is far from enough. Without a strong martial artist like Wu Zun, just us wanting to contend with the Wudang Clan is simply seeking death! It seems you still don't know much about the Wudang Clan!"

  Luóu returned to Lóng Tiě Shān Jiǔ Zhài Gōu for a trip during these six months and ordered someone to inquire about the situation in Luò City. It was learned that, at present, the Niú, Chén, and Míng Yáng clans within Luò City have formed an alliance, which is specifically to resist the Wū Dǐng clan.

  "I just got back and haven't had time to understand yet!"

  Luó Huan thought for a moment and said: "At present, there are three forces in Luocheng that are competing with the Wū Dǐng clan. They are the Niú clan, the Chén clan, and the Míngyáng sect. These three major forces were originally on par with the Wū Dǐng clan and the Luó Shēng faction as the five major forces. Since the Wū Dǐng clan has a strong martial artist, these three major forces must also have strong martial artists. In this case, these three major forces have at least three strong martial artists. However, the Wū Dǐng clan can suppress the Niú clan, Chén clan, and Míngyáng sect, aside from the Luó Shēng faction's one strong martial artist, the Wū Dǐng clan has at least two strong martial artists! How can our small force compete with them?"

  "At least two Martial Emperors!" Bai Qiudong was shocked, truly shocked. To think that among the several city masters of Shan Guo, although they all had strong Martial Emperors stationed there, generally each only had one! But Luo City's Wu Ding clan actually had at least two!

  Just as Luo Yu and Bai Qiutang were discussing Wu Ding's strength, several noisy sounds came from afar. The two followed the sound and looked over, only to see twelve burly men covered in blood. After greeting Luo Yu, they each left on their own.

  Then, one after another, many people came back, all of them were covered in blood.

  "Maybe you can go contact the Luocheng Niu clan, Chen clan and Mingyang Sect. After all, we have a common goal, I think they shouldn't refuse!"

  After a moment of contemplation, Bai Qiutang raised his head and looked at Luo Hou, saying: "Alright then, I'll go contact those three families now. When Luo Cheng returns, tell him I came by!"

  Without waiting for Luo Yu's response, Bai Qiutang suddenly rose into the air, like a sharp arrow piercing through the void.

  This made the Blood God Palace members who were bathing in the pond extremely envious.

  "I don't know when we can fly towards the blue sky!"

  "What's the rush? Didn't the Great Leader pass down the 'Killing Devil Scripture'? As long as you cultivate patiently, continuously accumulate and lay a solid foundation, your cultivation will soar in no time!"

  "But it's said that the Slaughter Demon Scripture is too evil, and even the Great Leader has said that he's afraid we won't be able to control ourselves!"

  ……

  In the blink of an eye, a day had passed. In the Blood God Palace's campsite, most members of the Blood God Palace had gone out, only Luo Hui seemed to have reached a bottleneck in his cultivation and remained guarding the campsite!

  Whoosh!

  A figure descended upon this place, wearing a blood-red long gown, with black hair flying about, and emitting a strong bloody smell from his entire body.

  Luó Hù's eyebrows furrowed slightly upon seeing this person, the bloody smell was really too overwhelming, even Luó Hù couldn't help but feel a little unbearable. "Luó Chéng, the bloody smell emanating from your entire body has become much stronger recently!"

  "It can't be helped, the critical moment has arrived, my 'Blood God Scripture' is about to break through a layer and reach the second layer. At that time, my strength will have a qualitative improvement, perhaps not weaker than a strong Martial Honored." Luo Cheng's expression remained cold, even when facing Luo Hou.

  "This 'Blood God Scripture' is too powerful, having reached the second layer and already possessing the power to rival a Martial Grandmaster. If it's fully cultivated, what kind of power would that be?" Luo Hui couldn't even imagine.

  Luo Cheng slightly shook his head and said, "I'm not very clear about this either. The 'Blood God Scripture' has a total of six layers, but even Blood Saint, who was invincible on the mainland and among the saints, only reached the peak of the fourth layer when he was at his strongest. Logically speaking, reaching the fifth layer would be the realm of a Martial God, but what about the sixth layer? Is it the realm where even Martial Gods are not invincible?"

  Just as Luo Xuan was admiring Luo Cheng's ability to cultivate such a powerful technique, Luo Cheng said: "Even if I feel like I can break through to the second layer at any time now, there is still a hurdle that makes it difficult to break through. So, I plan to cross the Martial Emperor Tribulation first!"

  "Didn't you say that we should accumulate properly at the Wu Wang level?" Luo Hu was somewhat surprised, and in fact, when they reached his and Luo Cheng's level, although they were not yet Wu Huang, they were by no means weaker than ordinary Wu Huang. However, in order to accumulate more thickness, they had been suppressing it all along and hadn't gone through the tribulation!

  "My accumulation is almost complete, and I don't know how long it will take for that last bit to be complete. I can no longer wait! I must avenge the young master as soon as possible!!" Luo Cheng suddenly let out a loud roar like a wild beast.

  Lu Ou looked at Lu Cheng, who was raging, and a hint of sadness flashed in his heart. Although he had only been with the young master for less than half a year, Lu Ou had deeply engraved the young master in his heart. At the same time, a fierce fire also burned in his heart, and he too wanted to avenge the young master as soon as possible, exterminate the Wu Ding clan. However, he restrained himself with reason. He was not Lu Cheng, he did not have the Blood God Body, he did not have the "Blood God Scripture", and he even more did not have the inheritance of the Blood Saint. He could only rely on his own continuous efforts! Therefore, he had to lay a thick foundation first, and then break through, so that he would have the opportunity to take another step forward in the future.

  "Yesterday Bai Qiutang came."

  Luo Cheng slowly stopped roaring and asked: "What did he say?"

  "In the past six months, he has only won over Lin Guancheng's Feng family and Shuihuacheng Tianqi sect. These two major forces do not have a strong martial artist, but there is one who is close to the strength of a martial arts master, seemingly named Liu Yidao."

  "It was him!" Luo Cheng paused, recalling the brutal battle half a year ago, the middle-aged man who protected a young boy with his sword, and was heavily recruited by Wu Ding's ancestor.

  "Isn't it that if one isn't a Martial Emperor, they can have the battle strength of a Martial Emperor?" Luo Huo was somewhat incredulous. The gap between the Martial Emperor and the Martial Sovereign had been too vast previously; even if there truly were peerless geniuses who could rival the Martial Sovereign during the time of the Martial Emperor, they shouldn't be unknown names.

  "That one knife was indeed terrifying, but it barely approached the combat power of a Martial Emperor. And after he used that move, he had no strength left to fight back." Luo Cheng's expression was cold and frightening, but his eyes flashed with an unusual glint, "Half a year ago, he was only in the middle stage of Martial Emperor, I suppose in these six months, he has already reached the late stage of Martial Emperor. Perhaps he really does have the strength to heavily injure a pre-eminent Martial Emperor!"

  "Perhaps he alone is not enough, but I'm almost there too. Tomorrow I'll be crossing the Wu Huang Tribulation, and as long as I break through to the second layer of the Blood God Scripture, at that time I'll also be able to contend with an early-stage Martial Emperor. Wudeng won't live for much longer..."
