Bitter Realm: My Feet Step Through the Flames of War

"Chu Yi, it's late at night, why aren't you asleep yet?"

"Wu Feng, I won't be at ease if you don't come home."

"Chu Yi, this is Xiao Liuguang, my brother."

Xiao Liuguang stepped forward in surprise: "No wonder Dafeng abandoned the country and its people, it turns out it was because of your wife."

Hen Wufeng immediately stopped him: "Don't talk nonsense."

Jing Chuyi and Xiao Liuguang exchanged greetings and then returned to their inner room to rest.

Hen Wufeng took out two jars of wine from the house, tossed one to Xiao Liuguang, and the two drank heartily under the moonlight.

It wasn't until he'd finished a jar of wine that Hen Wufeng revealed the reason: "Back then, I fell in love with Chu Yi at first sight. She was from the Central Plains, and I married her according to Central Plains customs. But on our wedding night..."

Jing Chuyi's younger sister, Jing Chusheng, fell in love with her brother-in-law. Under Yue Jiaozi's influence, she even poisoned her sister herself, hoping to take her place.

With the poison penetrating his heart, Jing Chuyi's life hangs by a thread. At this moment, Yue Jiaozi comes to Hen Wufeng's door to make a deal, asking Hen Wufeng to raise his sword in exchange for him healing Jing Chuyi.

However, his treatment only kept Jing Chuyi alive; in reality, Jing Chuyi's condition was worsening, much like ALS.

Even so, Henwufeng refused to give up hope. He left the Kingdom of Revelation and brought his wife to live near Benjue Zen Forest.

Xiao Liuguang asked, puzzled, "What is 'nurturing a sword'?"

"The golden Buddha you see contains a supremely evil sword. This sword needs to absorb the holy energy of a high monk to unleash its full power."

"what!"

"I know little about this knife. He instructed me to guard the Benjue Zen Forest and to eliminate any martial arts practitioners who approach the forest or come to investigate."

"So vicious, who is this person?"

"I only know that his name is Ghost Qilin Master, but he always wears a chilling ghost mask and holds a white bone fan, and no one knows his true face."

"Ghost Qilin Lord, how hateful!"

Xiao Liuguang knew that Wu Feng had done many wrong things, but he couldn't bear to blame his brother.

As he drank heavily, he secretly plotted to lure out the Ghost Qilin Master, then force him to heal his sister-in-law, and finally leave this place with Henwu Peak and his wife.

If we take them to Tiandu, the Martial Lord should take them in, right?

Xiao Liuguang and Henwufeng were reunited after a long separation and drank themselves into a stupor. However, on the top of Kuigu Mountain, the Ghost Qilin Master that Henwufeng had mentioned was coldly watching the two of them.

"The Trayastrimsa Dragon Slayer Technique is not yet fully developed; those who commit evil deeds will be spared. Hate Wufeng, I'd like to see how you choose between your wife and your brothers?"

The fake Ghost Qilin Master, the real Yue Prodigy, waved his white bone fan, a hint of mockery on his lips.

He had finally found this demonic blade that could break through the innate divine emperor's aura, how could he allow anyone to ruin his plans?

Let's go back to a long time ago.

The Divine Emperor Dragon King and the Black Universe Prison Dragon Emperor fought for the Panlong Dragon Pearl, resulting in both of them being severely injured and falling three thousand feet into the Yellow Springs. They were eventually sealed by the earth's energy and became the Panlong Ancient Wall.

This place also became the starting point for the establishment of the Yama's Ghost Prison.

Later, the Empress removed the Dragon Pearl, infused it with the blood of the former Ghost Prison War God, and used the Blood Essence Creation Technique recorded in the Mysterious Vein Mirror to create Emperor Dragon Yin.

The Black Universe Dragon Emperor came to the Ghost Prison in search of the Dragon Ball, but was killed by Emperor Dragon Yin, who was unaware of the truth.

The Prison Dragon Queen recognized Emperor Dragon's offspring as her bloodline. Before her death, her flesh and blood transformed into the Prison Dragon Queen Armor to protect Emperor Dragon's offspring, while her beast bones and claws became the Black Dragon Spear, which became Emperor Dragon's offspring's weapon.

Two more eggs were born from dragon essence. One of them transformed into the warhorse Yefeng, the son of the Emperor Dragon, and the other was placed by the Empress at the entrance of the Ghost Prison to wait for it to hatch. Unexpectedly, the little prison dragon ran to the Bitter Realm after hatching.

After capturing it, Yue Jiaozi refined it into the Trayastrimsa Dragon Slash. He then controlled Jing Yanfu to sit on the throne and sealed the sword in the golden Buddha to absorb the Buddha's energy. After years of nurturing, it is about to be completed.

"Xiao Liuguang, one of the eight top swordsmen participating in the sword duel, has close ties with Tiandu. Could his arrival here be at Luo Hou's behest?"

For some reason, Yue Jiaozi recalled the game of chess between Xuan Mo and himself.

After Luo Hou and Zong Hengzi left, Yue Jiaozi restored the game. In the midst of the thrilling battle, he discovered a terrifying fact: Luo Hou had not made a single mistake from beginning to end.

With a master who never makes mistakes and an organization possessing unparalleled combat power, Yue Jiaozi had no choice but to devote half of his energy to paying attention to this suddenly emerging opponent.

Soon after, another unexpected event occurred on the side of the Father of Illusion, with Luo Hou forcefully entering the battle for supremacy in the Ancient Plains.

Fortunately, the eight candidates listed by Luo Hou were more perfect than his own plan; otherwise, Yue Jiaozi would have surely stopped this unprecedented event.

Zonghengzi, Kuahuanzhifu, and Henwufeng—three people who appear to have no connection whatsoever—are all involved with Luohou, and Yuejiaozi sensed the risks involved.

But so what?

I have many enemies, one more won't make a difference.

He waved his fan and slowly walked down the mountaintop. The moon was waning and the night was deep; the world was silent.

"The land of marshes and rivers is now a battlefield, how can the people find joy in their simple lives? Please do not speak of the glory of being ennobled, for the success of one general is built upon the bones of ten thousand."

Chapter 327: Dealing with the Eight Legions - Using a Man-to-Man Tactic

Ruoye Zhi Qiu created a new sand table based on Luo Hou's blueprints.

The sand table features mountains, seas, islands, caves, cities, and some unique buildings. Apart from being scaled down, it is virtually indistinguishable from real mountains and rivers.

Even the waves of the sea are constantly rising and falling.

The Defeng Ancient Road and the Elf World are located in the mountains, and the bright moon of the very king never returns to the sea. Across the sea is Shiliu Island, which is the stronghold of the Eight-Headed Evil God.

The two cities are Mo Tun Bu Dong and Tian Du.

Another whale suspended in the air is naturally the Cloud Sea Immortal Sect, while the Midnight Mini-Theater is tailor-made for the Underworld.

The underground cave is the Netherworld, and deep within the Netherworld lies a disgusting brain, throbbing violently.

The new sandbox encompasses the major forces currently on the stage, presenting a complex and intertwined landscape. Unlike the Six Kings Opening Heaven, which, despite creating a map dividing the world into eight parts, was merely a joke to the Bitter Realm.

This is not the case now. Any force has the ability to cause disasters in the Bitter Realm. Strategically, we can disregard the enemy, but tactically, we must take them seriously.

Among the various forces, Luo Hou made his move against Fei Chang Jun first.

Both the Ancient Path of Virtue and the Immovable City of Demon Devouring are pillars of the righteous path, so there is no need to criticize them. As the victim, the Elf World has no reason to target them.

As a tool, Di Ming's current task is to create the power of blood darkness, and all he needs to do is prevent the disaster from happening.

The real crisis lies on Shiryu Island, but Rahu will not stop the release of Yamata no Orochi.

When Yamata no Orochi lands in China, it will be met with a deadly trap.

The eight classes of beings will die before it.

Finding and eliminating the King of Strategy is the top priority for Tiandu.

Luo Hou decided to adopt a man-to-man marking tactic.

In response to the current situation, Huang Quan and his wife were recalled by Luo Hou two days ago, leaving Liao Tian and Ji Wuxia to guard the maritime trade routes. Chao Yizhu and Qing Shuangtai's business in Zi Zhou Jing Yuan was also handed over to Jun Shepo to manage.

Apart from the Zhi Xin family being unable to extricate themselves from the Ten Thousand Demon Prison Sea, Shao Hao remained in Tianjiang, enjoying himself and unwilling to return, while everyone in Tiandu had already returned.

This was a small meeting held in Wu Jun's study.

Luo Hou first distributed the prepared list to everyone: "There are a few people in the martial arts world that you need to keep a close eye on. If you have the opportunity, kill them."

Huang Quan took the list, and saw that the title read "The Eight Legions of Heavenly Evil":

【The Last Evil King - Yu Bian Jialuo】

His true identity is Desert Eagle, an orphan of the Wind Clan, currently residing in Immortal Foot, and has a close past with Tianji of the Cloud Sea Immortal Sect.

It was handled by Mo Dao Juechen.

[Conquering the Evil King·An Qi]

Their true identity is complex, and they may appear in places such as the Emperor's Terrace and the Three Realms Pagoda.

Huang Quan is in charge.

【The Evil King Who Controls the Heavens】

His true identity is Huo Feixiong, the former Sword Emperor. His whereabouts can be found in Daowu King Valley.

It was handled by Tian Dao Xiao Jian Dun.

【Yaksha Owl King - Chi Luo】

A Japanese from the East, based at Mount Shihu.

It was overseen by Chao Yi.

【Asura King - Conquering All Calamities】

His true identity is Xingxiu Yiqi, the closed-door disciple of Daohuang Sheng Wuji, and he appears in Daowu King Valley.

It was handled by Qing Haichao.

"The information about these five people is inaccurate; you will need to search for it yourselves. In addition, these five people possess evil spirits. If you are not careful during the battle, the evil spirits will transfer into your bodies and try to take control of them."

Huang Quan spoke first: "Such evil deserves to die! But if they are among the Eight Legions, why are there only five on the list?"

"Of the other three, one is far overseas, one has not yet been resurrected, and the last one is unmatched."

King Xian, having failed to secure a mission, was filled with disbelief upon hearing this: "Unrivaled? I do not believe such a monster exists in the world."

Luo Hou asked calmly, "Have you ever seen the military might of your Great Lord at his peak?"

"No, he was already on his last breath when I was born."

"Even when he was on his last breath, he still taught you the Dustless Divine Intoxication Technique. His strength is still above that of a Great Lord in his prime."

The King of Xian opened his mouth wide, but then closed it again.

The others understood the unspoken message: this mission was far from simple. Coupled with the danger of being possessed by an evil spirit, they couldn't help but show a cautious expression.

It seems irresponsible to simply throw out an unreliable list and then make the people of Huangquan risk their lives to keep an eye on them, but Luo Hou had no better solution.

In times of crisis, someone always has to step forward.

Luo Hou continued to assign tasks: "Ji Xiashang, you take Wan Gu Chang Kong and Ya Hun to the Evil Valley in the Northern Region, eliminate the beast demon Fen Sanhua, and obtain the Hundred Cold Qi of the ferocious leader Evil Lai."

One Page Book doesn't need to exaggerate the body of the Father of Illusion to nurture the Spirit Pearl; taking the Qi of a Hundred Cold is just a casual move.

However, since the Heavenly Sword Elder's consciousness was about to be devoured by Evil, rather than waiting for the three villains to commit evil deeds, it would be better to eliminate the scourge for the people in advance.

"Xia Shang accepts the order."

"After obtaining the Qi of Hundred Cold, go to Benjue Zen Forest to support Xiao Liuguang and retrieve that demonic sword."
