Bitter Realm: My Feet Step Through the Flames of War

Luo Hou walked into the shop on his own: "I've come to do some business."

"what business?"

Zang Lanshan waved his fan and stood in front of Luo Hou.

"The vast heavens stretch endlessly, the boundless earth seems to have no end. The shepherd of the heavens is the shepherd of the earth, the shepherd of the land is the shepherd of the people. The shepherd of the people is the shepherd of the heart, the shepherd of the heart is the shepherd of benevolence."

"Hmm? Who exactly are you?!"

The ugly woman's aura changed instantly, and a chilling coldness emanated from Zang Lanshan.

Then, with a loud "bang," the door of the coffin shop slammed shut behind Luo Hou and Shao Hao, and their swords were drawn, pressing forward to kill them.

Before Luo Hou could make a move, Shao Hao clapped his hands together and clamped the slashing blade between them.

The chill in the air immediately subsided.

"Young lady, please don't be impulsive. We're here to do business."

"I only do business with the dead, kill!"

Zang Lanshan gathered his true essence and pulled with all his might, but the slashing blade was as if it had been imprisoned by a tremendous force, and it did not move an inch.

She immediately used the knife as a fulcrum and launched a series of kicks at Shao Hao, the force of which was fierce and merciless, filled with anger and killing intent.

Shao Hao also kicked out with both legs, and with the four legs intertwined, Zang Lanshan was once again restrained.

Luo Hou released his divine sense to search for any activity inside the shop. Sure enough, there was a unique spiritual energy hidden in the backyard. Although it was faint, it contained a touch of holiness.

He stepped into the backyard.

Zang Lanshan panicked, abandoned his sword, and struck Luo Hou's back with both palms at the same time.

With a flick of his sleeve, Luo Hou knocked her to the ground.

Zang Lanshan screamed, "Stop! You're not allowed in!"

Shao Hao couldn't bear to see her like this, so he helped her up from the ground: "Your godfather has no ill intentions, please calm down, young lady."

Seeing Luo Hou standing beside a heavy, large coffin, Zang Lanshan trembled all over: "Who exactly are you?"

“My godfather is the Lord of Tiandu, the Martial Lord Luo Hou, and my name is Shao Hao.”

"Rahu...it's actually Rahu!"

Having the ability to run a chain store business in the Bitter Realm, Zang Lanshan was certainly not ignorant. Upon hearing that the visitor was the Lord of Tiandu, his face instantly turned pale.

Luo Hou asked her, "Are you calm now?"

Zang Lanshan nodded frantically: "Please don't hurt the person in the coffin."

How long until your father wakes up?

Zang Lanshan dared not refuse to answer: "I do not know, perhaps a few years, perhaps several decades."

"When he wakes up, let him go to Tiandu first. I will help him eliminate his greatest rival in life."

"Since it's a business deal, what do you want?"

“I want you to lend out the ancient radiance at the appropriate time.”

Zang Lanshan was startled again: "So you really came for Gu Yao. Lending him out, that sounds too good to be true!"

Luo Hou said calmly, "This is the goodwill that Tiandu has shown, and it is also your only chance to change your fate. Lin Ruomei, you are a good daughter, but not a good clan leader. When you truly want to take on the responsibilities of a clan leader, remember to come to Tiandu to find me."

"You really know everything?"

Luo Hou didn't say anything more; given her current state of being easily frightened, she couldn't come to any conclusions.

He led Shao Hao out of the Tiantian Coffin Shop.

After walking only a few steps, Shao Hao kept looking back.

"how was it?"

"Godfather, is the man lying in that coffin the father who buried the girl?"

How do you know?

“I can sense her feelings for her father. Why don’t you help them, godfather?”

Luo Hou sighed: "I will do my best, but it also depends on their own choice. This family is very stubborn."

"Where do we go next?"

"Hao'er, the sea of ​​knowledge is boundless; would you be willing to journey there?"

The sea of ​​learning is boundless. The Imperial Academy was founded by the students of the Imperial Academy. Although the master of the Imperial Academy is dead, in terms of ethics, Shao Hao is the young master of the sea of ​​learning.

A hint of confusion flashed in Shao Hao's eyes; the vastness of knowledge held no resemblance to anything he had ever encountered.

"Godfather, whose bloodline am I, really?"

"The bloodline of Death and Ichiyō is derived from the Grand Master of the Imperial Academy."

"Therefore, the boundless sea of ​​learning has nothing to do with me."

"It's rare for you to have some free time today, so your godfather will take you sightseeing."

Shao Hao became happy: "Why not go together?"

What was once thought to be a desolate wasteland is now bustling with activity as reconstruction work is underway.

On the construction site, Situ Yan ran around with the construction drawings in his hand, constantly directing the workers to operate the equipment, while Yang Sen was talking to Shu Loulong Su, seemingly discussing enrollment matters.

Upon seeing Luo Hou, Long Su was astonished: "Why has the Martial Lord come here?"

"On a whim, are you trying to rebuild the boundless sea of ​​learning?"

"Indeed. And who is this?"

Luo Hou remained silent, letting Shao Hao answer on his own.

Shao Hao bowed to Long Su and Yang Sen: "I am a subordinate of Tian Du, accompanying Lord Wu on this leisurely journey."

"Unfortunately, it's not finished yet, so we can't serve tea."

Shao Hao glanced at it a few times and then stopped lingering: "Senior is so busy, it is not appropriate for me to disturb you for long. I will come to visit you again after I resume my studies at Xuehai Wuya."

"You're welcome."

The two left, discussing the current situation of the three religions along the way.

Since Long Su has participated in the reconstruction of the Boundless Sea of ​​Learning, he must intend to lead the new Confucian school. I wonder if the Boundless Sea of ​​Learning will become a teaching branch of the Confucian school or remain as one with the Confucian school.

In either case, Shao Hao had no interest in participating.

When Luo Hou and Shao Hao returned to Tiandu, a new variable emerged.

Yu Bufan, injured, came seeking help: "Martial Lord, the Burial Blade Society attacked the Northern Branch of the Sealed Blade World, resulting in over a hundred casualties. I personally led the Fourth Rank reinforcements, but the enemy not only broke the Four Symbols Formation of Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter, but also killed Winter Snow."

"Burial Sword Society?"

“Indeed, the Burial Blade Society targets those who wield swords at every turn. I had already restrained my sword guards to avoid conflict with them, but they still broke into the Northern Forum and killed people without any reason.”

The headquarters of Fengdao Tianxia is located at Shenwu Peak, and there are four branch headquarters: Beilun, Xizao, Nanwu, and Dongpin. Although the number of people left behind in the branch headquarters is not as large as that in the headquarters, there are still hundreds of elites.

The Burial Knife Society came prepared.

Upon seeing Yu Bufan injured, Mo Dao Juechen was filled with rage and immediately requested, "Martial Lord, allow me to proceed to the Northern Forum!"

"I'm going too!"

"Challenging Fengdao Tianxia is challenging Tiandu. Martial Lord, we must not let the Burial Blade Society off lightly!"

Ji Xiashang said, "If the enemy is coming for Tiandu, they certainly won't wait to die in Beilun. Perhaps they have already moved their positions."

"Then what should we do?"

Ji Xiashang waved his fan: "Shenwu Peak is the headquarters of Fengdao Tianxia. Dongpin has long been ruined because of the former owner of Fengyou, while Xizao is closest to Tiandu. Therefore, the branch of the Burial Blade Society is most likely to go to Nanwu. Why don't we set up a trap there?"

Luo Hou nodded.

"As for personnel arrangements..."

Ji Xiashang was unsure why Wu Jun wouldn't let him leave the house. Although he wanted to verify his guess, he assigned other people to do it instead.

"Please have Huang Quan lead the team. Xiao Jiandun and Mo Dao Juechen will go together, while Yu Bufan will stay in Tiandu to recuperate."

Xiao Ri Biao protested, "I want to go too."

"As for you, if you go to Xizang with Ye Shen, it's possible that Zang Dao will come to Xiwulin to die."

Chapter 190: A sneak attack on a big book? The Heavenly Duke retaliates instantly.

In a valley in the southern part of the Bitter Realm, towering peaks stand on both sides, embracing the sky, while verdant pines and trees soothe the soul, and waterfalls and springs flow like smoke.

The Southern Dance Branch of the Heavenly Sword Sealing Sect is located here. Internally, it serves as a place for teaching and testing newcomers; externally, it maintains the daily security of this region.

The world's sealed sword has a history of a thousand years, and despite many ups and downs, it remains steadfast.

At this moment, a hundred elite members of the Burial Blade Society were deployed to block the entrance to the valley, and ten artillery vehicles were positioned at the branch's gate.

All that was needed was for the governor's order to fire the cannons.

At the very front of the procession was a soft chair covered with a tiger skin, where Jiang Yue, the head of the Burial Blade Society, was half-reclining, looking languid.

Du Changchun asked, "Governor, how much longer do we have to wait?"

"Waiting for the people from Tiandu."

"This is?"

"The order from the commander is that this battle will not be fought in the land of the swords, but in the capital."

Du Changchun was greatly surprised. The person in charge of the Burial Blade Society, who was also the true founder, Bu Wu Donghuang Qi Taizu, was a legendary figure who had long since disappeared. How could he suddenly issue an order?

"But Tiandu?"

Besides surprise, Du Changchun also felt fear. Not long ago, they ambushed Qi Luosheng at Yuyang River, using cannons and rare poisons from the Western Regions, but they still failed to kill Jiangshan Kuaishou.

The people of Tiandu are said to be even more powerful than Jiangshan Kuaishou.

"How is Tiandu?"

Hen Jiangyue narrowed her eyes, shooting out a cold glint.
