The First Sage of Military Strategists

Upon hearing this, the old man frowned: "Cheng Yinsha actually died at the hands of a native? Is that really true? If you dare to deceive me, I will make you wish you were dead!"

Lei Wanlong hurriedly replied, "It's absolutely true, how could I dare to lie to you?"

“Since that’s the case, then come in. It seems there are some powerful figures in this world. However, no matter how powerful he is, I don’t take him seriously. Don’t worry, as long as you stay here, no one can kill you.” The old man turned around and flew towards the island below.

Lei Wanlong breathed a sigh of relief. This old man was called the Beast King, and he was a very famous figure in the Upper Realm.

In the Upper Realm, all those who can be granted the title of Emperor hold a position second only to the Emperor and above all others, making them among the most powerful individuals besides the leader of the Myriad Paths Alliance.

Nian Wanxiu was such a person. He was the Supreme Elder of the Ten Thousand Beasts Pavilion and followed the path of controlling ten thousand beasts to prove immortality. Everyone in the Upper Realm had to give him some respect.

Moreover, he had heard that this person had a strange temper and was unpredictable, so he would not have come here to seek Nian Wanxiu's protection unless he was forced to.

While they were pondering, Lei Wanlong had already led Xu Yan and the others to fly above the island. After the mysterious power withdrew, the scene before them suddenly changed dramatically.

Everywhere, shouts of killing, cries, and screams echoed. Every city was in chaos, and everyone was fighting each other like madmen. Even seven- or eight-year-old children were killing.
The entire Kamikaze Island has been transformed into a living hell, with rivers of blood and corpses stretching for miles as far as the eye can see.

Nian Wanxiu flipped his palm, and an ancient primordial stele appeared in his hand. Then, Lei Wanlong saw wisps of red smoke rising from the island, suddenly converging above the ancient stele and transforming into a crimson precious pill.

Nian Wanxiu suddenly opened his mouth and inhaled, and the precious pill transformed into a stream of crimson energy that fell into his mouth.

"Could this be the Primordial Ancient Stele that seals the Angry Heavenly Demon?" Lei Wanlong pondered for a moment and then asked tentatively.

“You do have some insight. That’s right. I have taken the inheritance of the Wrathful Demon. Now, the minds of everyone on this entire island have been twisted by me. Even the smallest anger and dissatisfaction deep in their hearts will be amplified rapidly, and these angry emotions will become nourishment for strengthening their souls and bodies,” Nian Wanxiu said calmly.

The expressions of Xu Yan and the others behind him were complicated. The people of the upper realm really did not regard the people of the lower realm as human beings. Such wanton slaughter was no different from the demons of ancient times. This island had at least several million people. I'm afraid it won't be long before Nian Wanxiu completely slaughtered them all and turned them into nutrients for Nian Wanxiu to grow stronger.

Such unscrupulous behavior in order to enhance one's strength would be considered evil cultivation in ancient times, and would be condemned by everyone.

But in this situation, everyone in the lower realm is in danger and can barely protect themselves. Who can deal with this demon?
Nian Wanxiu's gaze swept across the group and landed on Xu Yan and the others.

"These people have the poison of the Thunder Tribulation Pill in their bodies. It will take effect in seven days. The poison will turn into lightning and travel throughout their bodies. I'm afraid they will suffer a fate worse than death."

Upon hearing this, Xu Yan and the others' expressions changed drastically. They had long suspected that the pills given by Lei Wanlong and the others were problematic, but they had no choice in order to survive. Now it seemed that they were drinking poison to quench their thirst.

Lei Wanlong glanced around and sneered, "I originally wanted to keep it a secret for a few more days, but since the Douhuang has made it clear, there's no need to hide it anymore. The pills you took before were called Thunder Tribulation Pills, which were waste pills obtained from the failed attempt to refine the Heavenly Thunder Tribulation Pill. Although they can help people break through realms, a large amount of pill poison will remain in the body. This pill poison is extremely difficult to remove and extremely difficult to detect. Once the poison takes effect, it has already penetrated deep into the soul and body. Only by continuously taking the antidote refined by my Xuanlei Sect can you save your life."

However, you need not worry. As long as you listen to me and do whatever I tell you to do, the Thunder Tribulation Poison will never take effect.

Xu Yan and the others all looked helpless. They knew that Lei Wanlong was not a good person, but they had no choice but to jump into the trap he had woven. In the end, it was because their own strength was too weak.

Nian Wanxiu suddenly said, "Do you want to live? I have a way to eradicate the poison from the Thunder Tribulation Pill in your bodies."

Lei Wanlong, standing to the side, looked embarrassed upon hearing this. He hadn't expected that Nian Wanxiu would so readily contradict him after he had just made his harsh remarks.

However, he dared not say much, but respectfully said, "These people are all legendary figures in the history of this world. If you want them, please take them as soon as possible." Nian Wanxiu said calmly, "I am in seclusion here and cannot go out. I will use a secret method to help you enter the Rainbow Transformation Realm. All of you, please bring Han Qing to me. I have heard that he possesses the inheritance of the Gluttonous Heavenly Demon, and I will definitely try to find a way to snatch him away."

"We are willing to follow you, sir!" Xu Yan and the others hurriedly bowed and responded.

They've come to realize these past few days that Lei Wanlong is at most a mid-level figure, not particularly powerful, while the Dou Huang in front of them is the real powerhouse. Since there's always the risk of being schemed against no matter who they follow, they might as well follow the Dou Huang.

Lei Wanlong, standing to the side, was quite displeased, but still wore a warm smile on his face.

...

at this time.

Yuelu Academy.

Han Qing was staying in the central pavilion of the academy, which was named Shenxing Pavilion. It was the most magnificent and tallest building in the academy.

If you stand on the top floor of the attic, you can overlook the entire college.

Normally, this is where Han Qing and Yan Qiuling live, and only those in high positions at the school are qualified to enter.

At this moment, in the main hall on the first floor of the pavilion, Han Qing was forging battle armor for thirty-six powerful members of the academy, including Qi Guanzi and Zhou Xiaoru.

This time, the Silver Emperor's sudden attack, which killed Chen Zhen in one move, served as a wake-up call for him.

Although with him in charge, no one would dare to offend him under normal circumstances, there are always exceptions. If he were to go out one day and not be able to return in time, and a powerful expert of the Silver Emperor level were to descend, the vast academy would probably only have Yan Qiuling and Qi Guanzi with the power to resist, and no one else would be able to provide assistance.

Coincidentally, Han Qing had recently killed many powerful individuals and looted a lot of armor and magical artifacts from them.

He could directly devour these things to strengthen himself, but after a moment's thought, he chose to forge them into armor. This would allow the entire academy to rise to a higher level, and even if he were to encounter a powerful figure like the Silver Emperor in the future, he wouldn't be unable to escape even if he couldn't defeat him.

At this moment, all thirty-six people sat around Han Qing, waiting patiently.

"This is the Rose Thorn Armor, Qiu Ling. This armor can enhance demonic magic, making it most suitable for you."

"Thank you husband!"

With a whoosh, the blood-red armor with unusual blood-red patterns suddenly merged with Yan Qiuling, the armor perfectly conforming to her body and outlining her graceful curves.

"This armor is called the Zhou Tian Star Armor. It is surrounded by thirty-six stars and is both offensive and defensive. Mr. Zhou, your physique is weak, so this armor is most suitable for you."

"Thank you, young master!" (End of chapter)
