The Demon Slayer Martial Saint Begins with Insect Refining

Chapter 400 Going South
Su Yan became famous overnight. The Marquis of Champion's prestige was more convincing than ever before, and people trembled in fear.

Unlike the martial arts demonstrations held in front of the palace, the competitions held inside the palace were not widely known except among the civil and military officials.

Even if it gets out, not everyone will believe it.

Just like the seven people competing for the rankings, none of them believed they were inferior to the others before they had even faced off.

However, this time, seven Dharma Aspects descended upon the royal city, and each of them was at the eighth level of the Dharma Aspect Realm.

A terrifying aura enveloped most of the royal city, and everyone could directly perceive the power of this force.

He fought seven against one, but what was the result?

Su Yan didn't even release his own Dharma form, but instead unleashed an attack unknown to anyone, directly suppressing the seven people.

This action stunned many people. If even the eighth level of the Dharma Aspect Realm couldn't force Su Yan to reveal his true abilities...

So even if they went, the difference would probably not be significant.

Therefore, Su Yan's Wind and Thunder Insects remained quietly outside the Dragon Mansion for three days.

Within three days, no one dared to step forward and challenge them again.

"If Prince Li Zhanhai hadn't been absent from the capital, how could the senior disciple of the academy have made him feel that the capital was deserted after he came out of seclusion?!"

The students of Qintian Academy were filled with resentment, and an undercurrent of discontent had already formed.

They always considered themselves disciples of the Dali era, and even when they were in the capital, they looked at others with a certain arrogance.

But what did Su Yan do after arriving in the capital?
When the swords were pierced by the crowd, Wenhe was trampled underfoot; in front of the palace, Qintian Academy was ignored, the fortune of Xizhou Prefecture was controlled, and the academy's prestige was lost; now, the Dragon Gate Ranking has even suppressed their current successor of the Dharma Aspect Realm.

Kong Yushu, the senior disciple of Qintian Academy, is only ranked eleventh. Su Yan is only at the sixth level of the Dharma Aspect Realm. How did he manage to occupy the fifth position?

Jealous people cannot see Su Yan's talent; since they lack the ability to defeat him, they can only place their hopes on others.

"It's too late. Su Yan has already left the capital and headed south."

Before the people from Qintian Academy could summon Kong Yushu, Su Yan was already gone from the Dragon Palace. He had left the royal city and headed south to return to Lingnan Prefecture.
-
The Wind and Thunder Insect had already reached the late stage of the fourth rank. Su Yan transformed into wind and thunder, and accompanied by the Wind and Thunder Insect's wind and thunder wings, he traveled almost a hundred miles in an instant.

Below the Martial Saint realm, even among those in the Golden Body realm, there are probably few who can outrun him.

After leaving the royal city, Su Yan entered the territory of Lingnan Prefecture in just over an hour.

Accompanying him was Tai Lingyue, the Poison Dragon Taoist, who served as his protector.

"Should our Grandmaster Uncle return to the mountain gate first?"

On the back of the Wind and Thunder Insect, Tai Lingyue wore a strange expression, muttering to himself, "This kid's progress is so rapid; at his current speed, even a fifth-level Golden Body Realm cultivator might not be able to catch up with him."

"Let's go back."

Tai Lingyue already had a feeling that he probably wouldn't be able to continue as a protector for long.

Admittedly, Tai Lingyue possesses the strength of the seventh level of the Golden Body Realm, making him one of the best among those in the Golden Body Realm.

However, compared to Su Yan's progress, this mission of protecting the Dao was probably only for that period of time in Xizhou Prefecture.

Su Yan nodded, and sent the Wind and Thunder Insects transforming into rainbows, heading straight for the mountain gate.

Upon entering the territory of the Beast King Sect, the two saw towering peaks at the mountain gate, shrouded in rosy light, a scene of celestial beauty.

Disciples came and went, and strange beasts roamed freely. In less than a year, the place had become even more prosperous than before the great battle.

Before even reaching the mountain gate, they could already see three people waiting on Beast King Mountain.

Upon closer inspection, it was indeed Qiu Weifeng, Chu Qidao, and Gu Sanqian.

When Gu Sanqian saw the newcomer, his eyes first flashed with great joy, but then his face quickly turned gloomy.

"Haha, junior brother, it's been a long time. You've reached the peak of the ninth level of the Dharma Aspect Realm. Your progress is quite fast. Congratulations!"

When Tai Lingyue saw Gu Sanqian, he immediately tried to get close to him, but seeing his junior brother's gloomy face, he couldn't help but feel scared.

Even though he was a Golden Body Realm martial artist, when he left the Beast King Sect, his lineage was left with only one junior brother to support it. This was no small matter.

"I can't compare to my senior brother's carefree and happy life."

Tai Lingyue pretended not to hear and turned to talk to Chu Qidao and Qiu Weifeng.

"Senior Brother Chu is indeed exceptionally talented, having reached the Golden Body Realm. The Ancestor can rest assured now."

Qiu Weifeng chuckled and said, "Now that you're back, stay." The Beast King Sect has three Golden Body experts. Their strength might not be comparable to the Martial Saint Sect, but compared to other forces, they are definitely a cut above the rest.

Even if Tai Lingyue were to return to the Beast King Sect now, the Nine Peaks Sect wouldn't dare say anything.

Gu Sanqian frowned slightly: "Ancestor, Ayan needs a protector, otherwise..."

“Junior brother, you’re out of touch. This kid probably doesn’t need my protection anymore.”

Tai Lingyue briefly recounted what happened after the Battle of Xizhou Prefecture.

At this moment, Qiu Weifeng, Chu Qidao, and Gu Sanqian were completely dumbfounded, as if what they were hearing was a myth.

I thought the Battle of Xizhou Prefecture was impressive enough, leading an army to slaughter 100,000 people and defeating multiple high-ranking Dharma Masters in battles beyond their level.

They weren't in the capital and didn't know the details, but the rumors that had already spread were shocking enough.

But unexpectedly, the sage accepted a disciple, who ranked fifth on the Dragon Gate List, surpassing all the talented young men in the royal city, and becoming comparable to a golden statue...

"Getting old, getting old, hahahahaha"

As Qiu Weifeng said he was getting old, he burst into loud laughter, the sound echoing throughout the mountain gate.

Who understands him? The sect left him with his golden body, living on thin ice, afraid to die, afraid to fight, and afraid to take risks.

Now the sect has three Golden Body cultivators, and Tai Lingyue's momentum is extremely strong, with a glimmer of hope for becoming a Martial Saint.

He was already quite pleased.

Now Su Yan has presented him with an even greater gift: a sage accepting a disciple, a martial saint is within reach.

After Qiu Weifeng laughed, the four of them entered the main hall of Beast King Mountain.

"What are your plans now that you're back?"

Chu Qidao's gaze fell on Su Yan, who was currently ranked fifth on the Dragon Gate Ranking, naturally placing him in the eye of the storm.

More importantly, he also bears the identity of the swordsman who traverses the martial world.

The idea of ​​someone with the physical form of a Dharma being suppressing an entire martial arts world is itself a bit of a fantasy.

"Call them."

Su Yan spoke concisely and confidently.

The Blood Prison Demon Centipede is already a fifth-tier beast king, and this is his reliance.

Since we're going to conquer the world on horseback, let's use this sweeping conquest as a training opportunity.

He needs to continuously accumulate experience in martial arts, and the Insect Lord's experience also needs to be constantly increased.

Chu Qidao was surprised by Su Yan's confidence, but as the head of the Beast King Sect, he knew what he needed to provide Su Yan with.

"Take this token."

Chu Qidao gave Su Yan a token, which had over a hundred restrictions on it, intertwined and extremely intricate.

If the method of cracking it is even slightly flawed, the token will be destroyed in the next moment.

"I didn't expect you to have achieved this much within the Demon Suppression Guard. You were planning to make some covert arrangements to prevent the Beast King Sect from being destroyed in the conflict. Now it seems that these methods can be used for other purposes."

Su Yan looked surprised: "Sect Leader, what is this?"

"The tokens of control for all the Beast King Sect's hidden agents. In the past, I gradually separated many disciples to start their own sects in various places, and now they all have names. The sects also vary in size. The strongest is the Dharma Aspect Sect. If the Beast King Sect is destroyed, they will be the spark of the Beast King Sect."

Su Yan looked at Chu Qidao in surprise. This sect leader was indeed quite far-sighted.

Chu Qidao seemed oblivious to Su Yan's gaze and continued, "You can entrust the tasks of wielding the token, gathering information, and collecting rare and precious materials to them. I haven't been able to handle all the affairs of the thirteen prefectures of Dali with so many people. However, the Eastern Wilderness Prefecture, Chijiang Prefecture, Yaoshan Prefecture, and Tianyuan Prefecture are still somewhat useful."

Upon hearing this, Su Yan decided to speak up: "That's perfect. I would like to ask the sect leader to help me find two places: the lava volcano mountain range and a place where wind and thunder gather year-round."

What Su Yan did was the transformation of the two ferocious insects, the Molten Giant Scorpion and the Wind and Thunder Insect.

Although Chu Qidao did not know what Su Yan's purpose was, he offered his unconditional support.

He agreed: "I will help you find these treasure lands in three days."
