Chapter 88 Zhou Qing ascends to the top of the Heavenly Ranking
"Sect Master Chu, the Great Xuan Imperial Family has suddenly produced three Grandmasters at the Celestial Realm, and they are even Grandmasters with demonic bloodlines, yet there was no prior indication of this. There must be some unknown secret behind this."

Zhou Qing suppressed the national spirit weapon and looked at Chu Linfeng.

If the Great Xuan royal family possessed such a foundation, with three Grandmasters at the Celestial Realm, the situation wouldn't have developed to this point.

Whether it was the naturally strong Vajra Stone of the Great Spirit Kingdom in the north, or Lin Nantian who previously worshipped the Fire Cult and now established the Yan Kingdom, or Zhou Qing, they had all been suppressed by the Grandmaster of the Celestial Realm long ago and had no time to grow.

Therefore, these three grandmasters are very likely to have appeared recently.

“Demons are beings from another world,” Chu Linfeng said in a deep voice. “I have seen records about demons in some ancient books. In ancient times, demons once caused an unprecedented catastrophe.”

A brutal war broke out between humans and demons, causing immense suffering and death, changing the very fabric of the world, and shrouding the entire world in bloodshed and despair.

Ultimately, with the help of the sacred lands, the Mountain and Sea Realm drove out the demons, but at a terrible cost, with countless powerful figures perishing.

Now that demons have reappeared, the Great Xuan royal family has likely been infiltrated. Our strength is insufficient to combat them; we must notify the hidden sects.

Although Chu Linfeng is a Grandmaster.

But he was unaware of the existence of the World Cauldron.

Aside from reclusive sects, only the royal families of each dynasty knew of the existence of the World Cauldron. The royal families were responsible for guarding the World Cauldron to prevent any accidents.

If any demons or monsters attack the World Cauldron, the dynasty's royal family can mobilize the power of the nation's destiny to enhance the World Cauldron's power.

"Is Sect Master Chu able to contact hidden sects?"

Zhou Qingdao.

“The blessed lands where the hidden sects reside are isolated from the world. Unless they show themselves, it is difficult for outsiders to enter them,” Chu Linfeng said. “However, we are currently in the midst of a dynastic change. Lin Nantian of the Yan Kingdom is the chosen one supported by one of the hidden sects and will replace the Great Xuan Dynasty. As long as we inform Lin Nantian of this matter, he will naturally contact the hidden sect behind him. I will personally go there. During this time, I will trouble Young Master Zhou to oversee the sect.”

"no problem."

Zhou Qing nodded.

……

……

the other side.

Northern border region.

During the battle between the two armies, the Demon Blood Grandmaster of the Great Xuan Royal Family appeared, transforming into a fire crow wielding the power of the True Fire of the Sun.

Wherever the sun's true fire passes, everything is evaporated and reduced to nothingness.

Faced with the true fire of the sun, the naturally indestructible diamond of the Great Spirit Kingdom vanished from the world without even uttering a scream.

This scene filled the soldiers of the Great Ling Kingdom with terror and fear. Their great general had perished in the sea of ​​fire.

With the death of Tian Sheng Jingang Shijian, morale collapsed instantly, and the soldiers of the Great Ling Kingdom began to scatter and flee, thinking only of escaping this land of death.

However, the Grandmaster of the Demon Blood of the Great Xuan Royal Family did not stop there. He spread his wings and flew high, his fiery crow body drawing scorching trails in the air. Wherever he passed, the soldiers of the Great Ling Kingdom were easily set on fire like scarecrows and turned to ashes.

The balance of war tipped completely at this moment, and the army of the Great Xuan Dynasty, led by the royal demon blood grandmaster, swept through the enemy lines with unstoppable momentum.

The Great Spirit Kingdom's defenses were broken one by one amidst despair and fear.

at the same time.

Three more Grandmasters of Demon Blood from the Great Xuan royal family arrived in the Yan Kingdom.

Under the attack of three Grandmasters of Demon Blood, and with the addition of another national treasure spirit weapon, Lin Nantian, even with the Transformation-level spirit weapon of the Great Wei Dynasty, was unable to withstand the onslaught alone, and the battle was extremely difficult.

In the end, Lin Nantian and the three Grandmasters of Demon Blood perished together, and the Guardian Spirit Weapon flew back to the capital of the Great Xuan Dynasty.

The seventh day of the tenth month of the fourteenth year of Yuanfeng.

On this day, three momentous events occurred that were enough to shock the world.

The first major event was that the Great Spirit Kingdom's innate diamond-hardness was killed on the northern frontier battlefield by a Grandmaster of the Great Xuan royal family.

The second major event was the mutual destruction of Yan Kingdom's ruler Lin Nantian and three Grandmasters of the Great Xuan Imperial Family.

The third major event was that the Great Xuan royal family also sent three Grandmasters to the Yutian Sect to capture Zhou Qing, the most wanted criminal on the wanted list. However, they were all killed by Zhou Qing alone, and the Azure Bird Spirit Seal, one of the two national treasures, was lost as a result.

As these three major events unfolded, the world was in an uproar.

You must understand, these are Grandmasters of the Celestial Realm, not just ordinary cabbages on the street. Yet, the Great Xuan Royal Family suddenly produced a total of seven Grandmasters.

On the northern frontier battlefield, three Grandmasters perished alongside Lin Nantian, and three more Grandmasters died at the hands of Zhou Qing.

It is said that the newly appointed governor of the Eagle Wolf Guard is also a Grandmaster.

That makes eight grandmasters.

What's even more shocking is that Zhou Qing killed three Grandmasters single-handedly, and these three Grandmasters were carrying national treasures.

Upon hearing this news, although Zhou Qing was not yet a Grandmaster, Feng Manlou immediately included him in the Heavenly Ranking.

Moreover, he was ranked number one on the Heavenly Ranking. Although some people thought that Feng Manlou was trying to curry favor with Zhou Qing, Zhou Qing's achievements were undeniable; four Grandmasters had already died at his hands.

None of the other Grandmasters on the Heavenly Ranking have a record of defeating another Grandmaster, let alone Zhou Qing killing four Grandmasters.

Therefore, Zhou Qing's ascension to the top of the Heavenly Ranking is well-deserved.

……

……

at the same time.

The hidden sect behind Lin Nantian also learned of this news.

Other reclusive sects are isolated from the world.

However, this time it's the turn of the hidden sect behind Lin Nantian, the Nine Yang Sect, to establish their dynasty and collect the national fortune and incense offerings.

Therefore, the Nine Yang Sect still has a channel to maintain contact with the outside world, and Lin Nantian also has disciples of the Nine Yang Sect by his side.

For example, the Queen of Yan Kingdom was a true disciple of the Nine Yang Sect.

Upon learning that the Great Xuan Sect possessed a Grandmaster with demonic blood, the entire Nine Yang Sect was extremely shocked.

They are a force that has been passed down since ancient times, and their sect has detailed records of the ancient demonic calamities.

The appearance of a Grandmaster of Demon Blood is no small matter. Although he is not a real demon, it at least shows that the Great Xuan Dynasty is involved with demons. If it is not dealt with in time, it may cause a great disaster.

The Nine Yang Sect immediately contacted several other hidden sects.

Although the major reclusive sects have closed their gates and isolated themselves from the world, they still have special means to communicate with each other.

Five light screens appeared in front of the Nine Yang Sect Master.

Within the territory of the Great Xuan Dynasty, there are a total of six reclusive sects and aristocratic families.

The Nine Yang Sect is just one of them; there are also the Xuanhuang Sect, Lingxiao Sect, Shura Sect, Baili Family, and Nangong Family.

"Sect Master Liu, the Great Xuan Dynasty was established with your support. Now that a Grandmaster with demonic blood has appeared, how do you explain this?"

Someone immediately spoke up, questioning the Xuanhuang Sect.

The one who spoke was the sect leader of the Lingxiao Sect. The Dawei Dynasty, which was overthrown by the Daxuan, was supported by the Lingxiao Sect.

Faced with the questioning from the Lingxiao Sect, Sect Master Liu of the Xuanhuang Sect remained calm and slowly spoke: "Sect Master Qin, this matter is indeed beyond our expectations. We have been paying attention to the development of the Great Xuan Dynasty, but the appearance of the Demon Blood Grandmaster is something I, like you, have only just learned about."

He paused for a moment, then continued, “Everyone, from ancient times to the present, each sect has supported the dynasty more than once. You should all know about the strange space beneath the capital of the dynasty, where the World Cauldron is located, suppressing the passage between the Mountain and Sea Realm and the Demon Realm. Now that a Demon Blood Grandmaster has appeared in the Great Xuan, it is a big problem for all of our hidden sects. We should work together to deal with it, instead of blaming each other here.”

At this moment, the Nine Yang Sect Master spoke up: "Sect Master Liu is absolutely right. If this matter is not handled properly, it may affect all our hidden sects. We must take action as soon as possible and never let the calamity of demons reappear in the world."

"The demon blood grandmasters who appeared in the Great Xuan royal family are all at the martial arts spirit level. There are no primordial spirit grandmasters who have reached the fourth level of the Heavenly Human Realm. This means that the matter is still under control. Sect Master Liu, please send someone over."

"Indeed, the Great Xuan Dynasty was supported by your Xuanhuang Sect after all, but now a Demon Blood Grandmaster has appeared. No matter what, you have an inescapable responsibility, and the Xuanhuang Sect should step in to resolve this."

"Sect Master Liu, your Xuanhuang Sect should send a Grandmaster of the Nascent Soul stage to investigate the situation. Moreover, you must arrange manpower as soon as possible to prevent the situation from deteriorating further."

The sect leader of the Asura Sect and the heads of the other two aristocratic families also spoke in succession.

"No problem, my Xuanhuang Sect is willing to be the vanguard and send experts to the Great Xuan Dynasty to investigate the situation first." Sect Master Liu said in a deep voice: "However, if the situation in the Great Xuan Dynasty is out of control, I hope that all sects and families can also lend a helping hand and face this crisis together. After all, if the passage between the Mountain and Sea Realm and the Demon Realm is damaged, it will be a disaster for the whole world."

"It's natural."

"It is our responsibility to protect the boundaries between mountains and seas."

"If the Great Xuan Dynasty is truly beyond our control, we will naturally not sit idly by."

"..."

The sect leaders and patriarchs of the reclusive sects all spoke up, expressing their willingness to lend a helping hand at this critical moment and jointly resist the possible calamity of demons.

Seeing this, Sect Leader Liu felt somewhat relieved: "I will immediately arrange for people to go to the Great Xuan Dynasty to investigate. Let's keep in touch."

The westernmost part of the Great Xuan.

This is a desert, vast and boundless, with yellow sand filling the sky, as if even the sky itself has been dyed yellow.

Suddenly, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth was attracted by a mysterious force, gathered together, and then condensed into a portal.

Through the portal, one can see a hidden world inside, with cities and many humans living there.

Furthermore, the spiritual energy within the cave is far more concentrated than that outside.

This blessed land is the location of the Xuanhuang Sect.

As the portal to the grotto opened, a tall figure flew out from it and headed straight for the capital of the Great Xuan Dynasty.
