Douluo's Blue Silver Family

Chapter 337 The Lively Northern Region

Several months have passed, and Yuan Changqing has been hearing about some recent events in the Northern Region.

First, they learned about Ye Fan from those cultivators. Ye Fan had returned to the Northern Holy City from the Azure Dragon King and had joined forces with the descendants of the Seven Great Bandits of the Northern Region.

They also swept through the stone workshops of various holy lands in the holy city of the Northern Region, cutting out many rare treasures, such as the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Sword and the seeds of the Qilin Immortal Medicine. Of course, there were also many sources.

Moreover, they also cut out ancient creatures from those source stones: a monkey with golden hair and a stunningly beautiful woman.

However, the woman was pierced through the chest by a spear and was eventually snatched away by the golden-haired monkey.

It can be said that Ye Fan is now doing very well in the Northern Region. He has not only made many like-minded friends, but also earned enough source material for cultivation from those stone workshops.

However, this is only a drop in the bucket. You have to understand that as you go further and your strength increases, that little bit of source energy will not last long at all.

Not to mention the tens of millions of kilograms of source energy needed when facing the Four Great Tribulations, and that's an understatement.

Of course, Ye Fan did make a name for himself, but he also attracted the attention of various holy lands and powerful families, and not just one or two.

Fortunately, Ye Fan had learned some secret techniques from the Origin Heaven Book, which allowed him to disguise himself and change his appearance, making it easy for him to escape.

It is said that they eventually disappeared without a trace, and even the holy lands and noble families searched the entire Northern Region but found no trace of them.

However, Yuan Changqing guessed that Ye Fan must have run away with Black Emperor and was probably hiding.

After all, they've been targeted by major powers in the Northern Region. If they don't run now, when will they? These powerful forces are not easy to deal with.

Another point is that Ye Fan needs to improve his strength right now. Since he obtained so much source from the Holy City, he can take this opportunity to increase his strength.

……

Recently, another piece of news has been circulating in the Northern Region, concerning one of the Nine Secrets. This has attracted the attention of various major forces, who have all sent their successors there.

It is said that this was caused by a group of tomb raiders. In a place called Licheng, the group stole some ancient artifacts and sold them to an ancient weapons shop in the Northern Region.

Later, someone purchased a broken bronze bell from that ancient weapon shop and discovered some ancient characters on it. After having the characters deciphered, news about the Nine Secrets emerged, immediately causing a huge uproar in the Northern Region.

The person who bought the bronze bell found a master who, after repairing the bell, discovered about a hundred characters on it and deduced that it might be an ancient funerary object.

However, these are not the main points. The main points are the information recorded in writing, which is about the life record of a cultivator and information about one of the nine secrets of that cultivator's family heritage.

The Nine Secrets are the ultimate techniques that can be comprehended by one person. They are truly unparalleled divine techniques throughout history and have never been surpassed. Even the forbidden secret techniques created by the great emperors later on cannot compare to them.

Perhaps only the nine secret techniques created by the Ruthless Great Emperor to counter the Nine Secrets can contend with it, but strictly speaking, there is still a slight difference.

However, this is only true for others. If it were used by the Ruthless Emperor, then it would be a different story.

After all, when the creator creates something, he incorporates his own Dao, so naturally, when he uses it, it is as if the Dao is following him, which is incomparable to what was done before.

Getting back to the main point, the appearance of such a supreme divine technique in Licheng has naturally alarmed the major holy lands and aristocratic families.

Even some veteran powerhouses have been mobilized this time; these people are also the main force vying for the Nine Secrets.

As for the holy sons and daughters of those holy land families who came here, it was just a training exercise. This competition for the Nine Secrets can also be regarded as a trial, and of course, it also reduces the conflict between the major forces.

After all, if the two forces were to clash directly, and things got really heated, it would be a terrible thing.

Once top-tier powers start a war, it won't be easy to end it; the final result will inevitably be rivers of blood and devastation.

Moreover, now that this news has come, it will definitely be very lively there. Yuan Changqing also knows that Ye Fan eventually obtained the things there and used a clever escape plan to fool all the holy land families.

Not only that, Ye Fan also captured many holy sons and daughters alive, including the Yao Guang Holy Land, with whom he had clashed at the beginning.

Since the news came, Yuan Yue'er had asked Yuan Changqing if he was going. She was really looking forward to it and was even planning to go with the people from Yaochi Holy Land to see it for herself.

Yuan Changqing was quite interested in the Nine Secrets, and he knew that the Nine Secrets that appeared this time was the "Xing" Secret, which was a supreme divine technique about the ultimate speed and also involved the rules of space.

The footwork that Yuan Changqing and Ye Fan learned from the mad old man was evolved from the incomplete Xingzi Secret.

So, Yuan Changqing found Yuan Yue'er and Zeng Li and said, "Yue'er, this time, all the major forces must have gathered in Licheng. If you want to go, go with Yaochi Holy Land first."

Yuan Yue'er asked, "Dad, are you going?"

"Of course I'll go. I'll just watch the fun. I'll bring your mother with me, so I won't go with you. We'll come find you when we get to Licheng," Yuan Changqing replied.

……

When Yuan Changqing and Zeng Li arrived in Licheng from Yaochi Holy Land, many people from various major forces and many powerful cultivators had already arrived.

Since these people have come to Licheng, they must all be here for the Nine Secrets, after all, the Nine Secrets are too tempting.

"Quack quack quack..."

On the outskirts of Licheng, the mournful cawing of crows could be heard from time to time, sending chills down one's spine.

This is a mass grave, desolate and dilapidated, with graves that have been turned over everywhere, and skeletons scattered among them.

Clearly, cultivators who come here don't care about the graves here, even if they have to dig three feet into the ground, hoping that they will have a stroke of luck and find the Nine Secrets directly.

When Yuan Changqing arrived, he didn't dig up other people's graves like those cultivators. He just had to wait, and the underground palace would naturally be found and opened by them.

It is said that the underground palace is related to the Great Emperor Wushi. It is said that some people who wanted to be resurrected were suppressed here, as well as the arrangements made by those who wanted to be resurrected.

The Great Emperor Wushi placed a Chaos Stone here to suppress everything arranged here.

"Caw caw caw..." The cawing of crows was extremely mournful, circling back and forth in the mass grave, giving the impression that something ominous was about to happen.

"boom…"

Suddenly, the sound of fierce fighting came from afar, and two figures were fighting in the sky.

In the distance, divine light flashed and shone brilliantly. The energy of the battle shattered the void, and the sky trembled.

"This is a battle between the Holy Son of Yao Guang and the Golden-Winged Roc King," someone who knew the two said.

The battle between the two also attracted the attention of other forces, including the people from the Yaochi Holy Land.

Moreover, Yuan Changqing also discovered Duan De, this unscrupulous Taoist priest, who had previously tricked Ye Fan.

Duan De came here this time, definitely thinking there would be benefits to be had. He was bound to get something out of it. In the end, Duan De was tricked by Ye Fan, who got revenge for the last time.

With Zeng Li in tow, Yuan Changqing flashed to Duan De's side and asked with a smile, "Fellow Daoist Duan, it's been a long time! I never expected to meet you here again after all these years. What a coincidence!"

Yuan Changqing's sudden appearance startled Duan De, but he was relieved after seeing who it was.

The business Duan De is currently engaged in has attracted many people here who hate him to the core. If he is discovered, he can expect to be hunted down.

They even dared to trespass on the tomb of the Ji family's God King; their courage is commendable. It is said that the ancestral tomb of the fifth-largest bandit in the Northern Region has been dug up, and they are currently being hunted down.

"Oh, it's you, fellow Daoist! You really startled me. Where have you been all these years? I haven't heard from you at all," Duan De couldn't help but ask.

Yuan Changqing added, "Unlike you, I don't wander around aimlessly. I've been cultivating all along. After hearing the news here, I came to take a look."

Duan De then asked, "Why aren't you with that kid Ye Fan, fellow Daoist?"

"Hehe, Fellow Daoist Duan, I heard that you tricked him. Maybe you'll meet him this time," Yuan Changqing joked with a smile.

Duan De smiled awkwardly and said, "How can you say it's a trap? I'm helping him."

"Perhaps! However, Fellow Daoist Duan, you should still be careful. People from various major forces have come here, and some people hate you to the bone for what you did," Yuan Changqing also reminded him.

Duan De's eyes darted around instantly, and he pretended to be puzzled, saying, "Fellow Daoist, what are you talking about? I don't know anything about it."

Yuan Changqing shook his head and didn't say anything more, saying, "You'd better be careful. That's all I have to say."

After a while, Duan Decai nodded, as if acknowledging something, and said, "Thank you, fellow Daoist. I will be careful."

Then, he boasted, "Putting everything else aside, they're still a bit short of being able to catch me. I'm quite skilled at escaping."

Duan De's words were not untrue; otherwise, he wouldn't still be alive and kicking. Every time he was being chased, he narrowly escaped, showing he actually had some skill.

With the gathering of various holy lands, such as the Ancient Jiang Family, the Myriad Beginnings Holy Land, the Great Evolution Holy Land, the Ancient Ji Family, the Yaochi Holy Land, the Purple Mansion Holy Land, the Dao Yi Holy Land, the Thirteen Great Bandits, etc., they are all top forces above the Big Dipper.

The arrival of these forces is not so friendly to rogue cultivators. Even if they find the Nine Secrets, they don't have the life to take them.

"With the appearance of the Nine Secrets, the younger generation of various forces have gathered. This may be a battle for the qualification of the Great Emperor!" Yuan Changqing couldn't help but say, looking at the young people of various forces.

Duan De nodded in agreement, saying, "Judging from the situation, it really does look like a contest for the imperial path. However, whether one can ultimately ascend to the imperial path depends on fate."

"boom……"

Suddenly, a powerful figure made a move, and a gaping hole was torn open in the ground, creating a massive fissure hundreds of feet deep that extended directly into the earth.

"retreat!"

Countless streams of yin energy shot into the sky, chillingly cold, causing the cultivators present to shiver involuntarily.

Then, a surging, overwhelming yin energy swept across the sky, transforming into dark clouds that blotted out the sun.

"Waaaaah..."

From within that gloomy, eerie aura, as if a ghost were passing through, it burst forth, its murderous intent soaring to the heavens, the wind whipping up the remaining clouds, and the ground trembling.

Countless ghostly soldiers and generals, like an iron torrent, charged forward, seeking to destroy and annihilate everything in their path.

However, these terrifying ghost soldiers and generals are not frightening to cultivators. On the contrary, they make people feel that there must be a divine treasure below.
