Perfect World: Start by traveling to the Wuwang Mansion

Chapter 303 The Journey Begins!

The disciples of Yun Palace immediately stood up straight and became serious when they felt Shi Qingyun's gaze sweep over them.

Like a soldier waiting to be tested at any moment, his aura suddenly changed.

Despite his injuries, his pure fighting spirit seemed to soar into the sky, instantly dispersing the dark clouds that had gathered there.

Shi Qingyun felt their imposing aura and nodded in satisfaction.

Compared to when I left, the disciples of Yun Palace have made great progress in both their cultivation level and combat strength.

I suppose I've lived up to their expectations.

However, they still need further tempering. At this point, they need blood and fire to refine their fighting spirit and combat power.

"Back!"

With a wave of his hand, he manipulated the universe, and their figures vanished from the spot in an instant.

As soon as Shi Qingyun and the others returned to the Cloud Palace, Chen Xuan immediately presented a report on the Cloud Palace's development over the past few years.

"Since the Palace Master subdued the forces near Cloud Palace, more and more young prodigies have joined Cloud Palace."

"Furthermore, after Cloud Palace seized the territory and resources of those forces, it also accelerated Cloud Palace's development."

"Now, Yun Palace can be considered a second-rate sect in Shidu Prefecture!"

As Chen Xuan spoke, a hint of pride appeared on his face.

This was his answer sheet to Shi Qingyun, and he was really looking forward to Shi Qingyun's evaluation.

Feeling the intense gaze in Chen Xuan's eyes, Shi Qingyun couldn't help but smile and nod at him. He recognized Chen Xuan's leadership abilities.

"Indeed, Yun Palace is thriving under your management, but you also need to work on improving your strength."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xuan smiled awkwardly, scratched his head, and immediately changed the subject:
"At this time, Shidu Prefecture is facing a great calamity. We need the Palace Master to give us instructions on what to do next."

When this matter was mentioned, the smile on Chen Xuan's face slowly faded, clearly indicating that he was also very troubled by the current situation.

Fortunately, Shi Qingyun returned and told him about their plan to move away from Shidu Prefecture.

"Since those powerful forces have already moved away from Shidu Prefecture, then let our Cloud Palace take over this place!"

Shi Qingyun spoke slowly, revealing that he had never considered leaving this place, and that confronting the Underworld would be helpful to his plans.

After learning of Shi Qingyun's decision, Chen Xuan quickly went to arrange various matters, without even thinking of refuting anything.

They fully supported Shi Qingyun's decision, especially after seeing him kill the cultivator who had killed them with a single move, which made them trust him even more.

After Shi Qingyun made the decision, the entire Cloud Palace began to operate rapidly.

In less than half a day, a series of messages about the Underworld land fell before Shi Qingyun.

“In these places, there are Netherworld Slayers leading teams who are capturing cultivators everywhere.”

"Next, we will split into several groups to strike at the people of the Underworld."

"By recruiting those who were willing to resist, we have strengthened the power of the Cloud Palace!"

Mu Qing, Chen Xuan, and other high-ranking members of the Cloud Palace considered the plan proposed by Shi Qingyun and all felt that there were no problems with it, so they all nodded.

"In that case, let's begin!"

"It's time for Cloud Palace to take center stage!"

Upon hearing this, a fiery glint appeared in the eyes of everyone below, if things proceeded as planned.

At that time, not only will the strength of Yun Palace increase greatly, but they will also gain the entire Shidu Prefecture as a foundation.

"Follow the order!"

After bowing to Shi Qingyun, Chen Xuan, Mu Qing, and the others quickly disappeared from the main hall.

Outside the main hall, squads of Yun Palace disciples, fully equipped and ready to go, were already waiting for this expedition.

"Gentlemen! The great moment for Cloud Palace has arrived!"

"The deceased's descendants and family will be protected by the Cloud Palace!"

"Even though we are facing a superpower this time, we will win!"

"Let's go to the bloody battle!"

"I pledge my loyalty to the Palace Master!"

Upon hearing this, the eyes of the many Cloud Palace disciples underground immediately lit up with red light.

Most of them come from families with weak influence, which prevents them from developing their talents, so they join the Cloud Palace, which is composed of geniuses from various states.

Upon hearing Chen Xuan's words, his blood boiled with fervor. Moreover, the purpose of the Underworld was to sacrifice a great continent for its own benefit.

The fire within his chest was instantly ignited, and he shouted:
"Fight! Fight! Fight!"

"I pledge my loyalty to the Palace Master!"

Holding a Heavenly Thunder Spear, Chen Xuan's eyes flashed with a fiery light. He lightly touched the air with his toes and immediately led a team away.

After that, Mu Qing, Xiao Hong, and Xiao Bai each led a team away, as did the newly arrived Bao Cai and Peng Yong, each leading a team to set off.

The once bustling Cloud Palace was now only occupied by Shi Qingyun and a few disciples on duty.

Shi Qingyun stepped forward, his figure flashed, and he quickly appeared in mid-air, his aura restrained, with natural power flowing around him.

After determining the direction, they quickly headed in that direction.

Kongyuan Sect was originally a third-rate sect in Shidu Prefecture, but today it has met with annihilation.

The current sect leader of Kongyuan Sect looked at the battle outside with a dazed expression and a chill running through his body. He felt a deep sense of despair enveloping him.

"Heaven is going to kill me!"

"Is my Kongyuan Sect destined to be wiped out here?"

He himself was only at the True God Realm, so he was naturally unable to withstand the attack from a group of True Gods led by a group of Heavenly Gods.

"Ah--"

"Seize them all! It is your honor to have them as provisions for Lord Underworld's advancement!"

A man wearing a ghost mask looked at the bound cultivators with a hint of contempt in his eyes.

"Even if I die, I will not let you succeed!"

Just as the leader of the Kongyuan Sect decided to self-destruct and perish together with them.

Roar--

A cry that pierced the clouds and broke the dawn echoed from the void, followed by a burst of blazing Dao fire sweeping out from the sky.

The moment it landed on the previously arrogant Celestial Cultivator, it instantly reduced him to ashes.

Little Red let out another sharp cry from its beak, and the flame instantly flew back, leaving Little Red with no choice but to sigh in admiration.

The Dao Fire given by their master was indeed powerful; it directly killed a Celestial God cultivator in just a short while.

Behind him, the Cloud Palace disciples rushed out instantly and engaged in battle with the Netherworld cultivators.

The fighting spirit rising from his body was fueled by blood and fire.

In the void, Xiao Hong's enormous figure flashed with dazzling crimson and white light.

As the light gradually faded, Xiao Hong's figure shrank into a small child and walked out of the light.

Although he still possessed a youthful air, the aura emanating from him was enough to shake the very void. Little Red's gaze fell upon the crowd below, and she spoke calmly:

"Would you be willing to join the Cloud Palace to resist the enemy?"

The indifferent words reached the ears of the Kongyuan Sect Master, who was startled. He had heard of the Cloud Palace's great reputation.

Unexpectedly, such a small child possessed such terrifying strength, which deepened the awe the Cloud Palace held in their hearts.

He glanced around at the ruins of the sect and then at the Kongyuan Sect disciples whose eyes burned with rage.

Without further hesitation, he spoke solemnly to Xiao Hong:

"Thank you for your help, fellow Daoist. I am willing to join the war against the enemy with the strength of the Kongyuan Sect!"

Xiao Hong smiled upon seeing this, and then led the group to fly towards the next location.

Ten thousand mountains, the Xuan Kong Dao Gate.

The current leader of the Xuan Kong Dao Sect, a master cultivator at the Self-Slaying Realm, is currently engaged in a fierce battle with the Self-Slaying cultivators from the Netherworld.

After being ambushed from behind, Xuan Ying retreated rapidly, hovering in the sky, looking at the sect that had been turned upside down.

He glared at the two men before him, his eyes filled with undisguised killing intent, and spoke in a cold voice:

"The people of the Underworld are truly going too far! Taking advantage of the fact that my sect's patriarch went to the borderlands, they actually committed such a despicable act!"

"Do you intend to break the ancient covenant?!"

Upon hearing this, the two from the Underworld merely chuckled, completely disregarding his words, as terrifying Dharma images rose from the ground behind them.

He then launched a devastating attack on Xuan Ying, no longer intending to hold back.

Boom——

The enormous Dharma image trapped Xuan Ying firmly in the center, and the terrifying killing intent completely blocked his escape route.

The numerous Xuan Kong Daoist disciples who were fighting the people of the Underworld below were all furious, watching their Dao Master being bullied.

Anger surged in his eyes, and his fighting spirit soared accordingly, leading to an even greater battle.

Although Xuan Ying was a master cultivator at the Self-Severing Realm, he quickly fell to the bottom when faced with the combined attack of two cultivators of the same realm.

Kaka-

Looking at the enormous hand pressing down from above, even with a thousand rages in his heart, he could only transform them into a deep sense of grief and indignation.

Just as he was despairingly waiting for the towering giant to come crashing down, he suddenly saw that everything around him seemed to have frozen in time.

The Daoist magic that was suppressing his body was quickly broken away with a soft sound.

Suddenly looking in a certain direction, his pupils contracted instantly.

The space suddenly cracked open, and amidst the surging chaos, a graceful figure slowly emerged.

He didn't display any imposing aura, but with each step he took, it was as if he were facing the Great Dao, and the pressure on his body increased dramatically.

Who are you, fellow Daoist?

"Why are you obstructing my actions in the underworld?"

The two Netherworld cultivators who had been so arrogant were now kneeling in the void, with a tremendous suppressive force pressing down on them.

The space beneath his feet crumbled inch by inch, his eyes filled with horror. He looked at Shi Qingyun, who was walking towards him step by step, and asked in a cold voice, attempting to intimidate the other party in the name of the Underworld.

"The people we've found are from the Underworld."

boom--

As soon as he finished speaking, a blood-red aura emanated from his body, and the void shattered inch by inch.

The two, who were about to launch another intimidation attack, suddenly lost their footing and fell directly into the void cage.

"We're both at the same level of the 'Slaying Myself' realm, do you think you can kill us?!"

"Blood Burn! Explode!"

Looking at the enormous void pillars erected all around, one of them had intense killing intent in his eyes and coldly questioned Shi Qingyun, who was high above him.

As he finished speaking, streaks of crimson light emanated from his body, and his previously withered form instantly became fuller.

His fingertips grew rapidly, and he grabbed heavily at the void pillar in front of him, the whooshing sound echoing within the cage.

Thorn Lala——

Blinding streaks of fire shot out, and as the attack landed, runes on the Void Divine Pillar instantly began to flash.

The cracks that appeared on the cage healed instantly.

"how come!"

Seeing that their attack had failed to break the cage, they were immediately alarmed, but before they could make any further moves...

Then Shi Qingyun made his next move.

In response to their questions, he slowly extended his hand and grasped it in the direction of the two men, causing the entire cage to instantly shrink.

Immense pressure descended upon the two of them, and shackles surged forth from the void.

The void was stagnant like a swamp, and immense pressure surged within the cage like a tide, causing the two people, whose faces were already flushed from the oppressive force, to be further weakened.

At this moment, drops of blood seeped out from the pores, the blood and qi in the body flowed in reverse, and yin and yang rose up, turning into shackles that tightened rapidly.

"Rao——"

"life--"

As soon as they uttered the words of begging for mercy, spiderweb-like cracks immediately appeared on their bodies.

Shi Qingyun's eyes were calm and still, and his hands, clasped together, clenched tightly, instantly unleashing huge waves of energy.

bang——

Under his cold gaze, the two people's bodies instantly exploded, and a blood flower burst open within the void cage.

"Still trying to escape? How naive!"

Shi Qingyun curled a mocking smile at the corner of his mouth, pointed his finger at the void, and a dazzling sword light shot out.

click -

The sword light pierced through layers of space and quickly cut through two golden figures that were disappearing into the void.

Accompanied by a piercing scream, the two primordial spirits that had been fleeing through the void transformed into wisps of golden light and vanished into the void.

His relaxed and carefree demeanor deeply shocked the Dao Master of the Xuan Kong Dao Sect who stood behind him.

"Thank you so much for your help, Senior Dao... I am deeply grateful!"

Although Shi Qingyun's appearance and his boundless vitality suggested he was not old, Xuan Ying dared not address him as a fellow Daoist and immediately changed his address.

"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Xuan Ying. I am the Palace Master of Yun Palace."

Shi Qingyun didn't mind Xuan Ying's restraint and nodded slightly to him.

"What?! You're the Cloud Emperor!"

"I'm sorry, I was being presumptuous."

Xuan Ying realized that her reaction was a bit too much, so she immediately spoke to Shi Qingyun.
