“It’s said that martial artists will be a little stronger than Weapon Masters and Spirit Summoners of the same level when they reach the Divine Power Realm. Now, I’ve finally seen what it means to be ‘a little stronger’!’
“You’re all wrong. It’s not the Divine Power Realm that’s strong, but Han Zhao! ”
Han Zhao had already become the focus of the entire East Victory Continent. All the aristocratic families were discussing him.
Of course, the martial artists were no exception.
Tens of thousands of martial artists rushed to the Cloud Prefecture with their families. This matter could not be hidden.
When people asked, these martial artists did not hide it.
For a moment, even those martial artists who were not well-informed and some rich children who wanted to learn martial arts joined the martial artist army.
Tens of thousands of people ran to the Cloud Prefecture’s Furious Flood Dragon Island.
High-level martial artists traveled fast and had strong endurance. They were even faster than low-grade martial artists riding horses.
In addition, a portion of the local aristocratic families in Cloud Prefecture also learned of the news.
Han Zhao rose to fame in an extremely short period of time and became the number one person in the East Victory Continent. His deeds were quickly exposed.
Although Han Zhao was a martial artist, he had a close relationship with Su Tianqi, Qi Yuntian, Qi Xuanming, Ji Baiwei, and the other descendants of aristocratic families. His female friends were also members of an aristocratic family.
Therefore, he clearly did not view the members of the aristocratic family as enemies. Many descendants of the aristocratic families who were not ambitious in their families also joined the martial artist army and rushed to the Cloud Prefecture’s Yuan Chang County together.
Yuan Chang County was one of the top ten counties in the Cloud Prefecture. There were several Martial Saint-level experts at the Fiend Condensation Realm.
In the past, Yuan Chang County was led by three factions, the Qin family of the Martial Academy, the He family, and the Shangguan family of the Furious Flood Dragon Gang.
The Academy Head, Qin Qingxu, the He family’s ancestor, He Wuji, and the Shangguan family’s Shangguan Lie controlled more than half of the resources in Yuan Chang County.
However, later on, Shangguan Lie disappeared, He Wuji died, and Qin Qingxu went to the outer seas. For a moment, there were no Martial Saint Realm experts in Yuan Chang County on the surface.
Fortunately, the Martial Academy and the County Lord were both forces of the
Imperial Court, and the Furious Flood Dragon Gang had the backing of Qi Yuntian, a member of the Spirit Guardians. Therefore, Yuan Chang County was still led by the three major factions on the surface.
However, in the dark, the various factions were also constantly thinking of fighting for more benefits, so there were constant conflicts in Yuan Chang County.
After leaving the capital and arriving at the upper reaches of the Long Forest River, even the Furious Flood Dragon Gangs position as the overlord on the river would be challenged.
The Qi family could guarantee that the core interests of the Furious Flood Dragon Gang would not be damaged, but Qi Yuntian would not care about small fights usually. The higher-ups of the Furious Flood Dragon Gang were also embarra.s.sed to casually ask the Qi family for help.
However, ever since the Water Envoy of the Furious Flood Dragon Gang broke through to the Fiend Condensation Realm two years ago, the situation had improved greatly.
The position of the overlord of the Furious Flood Dragon Gang on the river was completely stabilized.
However, something strange had happened recently, causing Shui Jingfeng to sense that something was wrong.
At this moment, in the Furious Flood Dragon Palace in the mountain range in the center of the Furious Flood Dragon Island.
Shui Jingfeng was dressed in a purple robe. He sat on the golden throne that symbolized the position of the Sect Master and listened to the report of the Soaring Eagle Hall’s Hall Master, Chu Anping, absent-mindedly.
Eleven years had pa.s.sed. Compared to his dark and thin appearance back then, Chu Anpings face was ruddy and much paler. Clearly, he had been pampered these years and had become much richer.
“Sect Master, recently, our brothers from the Soaring Eagle Hall encountered a few more martial artists who were investigating the location of the Furious Flood Dragon Island. I personally went to investigate and realized that a few of them were also Grandmaster Realm martial artists, so I didn’t dare to follow too closely.” Chu Anping said respectfully.
As a trusted aide nurtured by Han Zhao back then, he was also deeply trusted by Shui Jingfeng.
Although he still held the position of the Hall Master of the Soaring Eagle Hall for so many years, the Soaring Eagle Hall had already become the largest branch of the nine halls under the Furious Flood Dragon Gang.
The power he actually held was not inferior to any regional envoy.
Before Shui Jingfeng could speak, a fat old man on his right muttered,
“Another batch of martial artists has arrived, and there’s even a Grandmaster
Realm existence. Could it be that someone wants to deal with my Furious Flood Dragon Gang?!”
This person was the Earth Envoy, Yan Sheng.
“The Furious Flood Dragon Gang is backed by the Qi family. We hand over so much profit every year. It shouldn’t be possible for a few Grandmaster Realm martial artists to deal with us, right?” The Hall Master of the Punishment Hall said uncertainly.
“The key is that this is already the third batch. If there are more in the future, there will be huge trouble.” Yan Shengs expression darkened.
“I’m only asking about the Furious Flood Dragon Island, but I don’t know that the Furious Flood Dragon Gang is definitely an outsider!” Chu Anping said.
At this moment, everyone was discussing animatedly, but Shui Jingfeng was
sitting diagonally on the throne, and the fingers of his right hand gently slapped the armrest while he was in a daze.
“Gang Leader?”
Everyone argued for a long time. Seeing that Shui Jingfeng did not react at all, they looked at him in unison.
“Huh?” Shui Jingfeng came back to his senses.
“Gang Leader, what are you thinking about?” As Chu Anping was close to Shui Jingfeng, he went forward to ask.
“I’m wondering if the rumors are true,” Shui Jingfeng said.
“What rumor?” Everyone was a little puzzled.
“A month ago, the Qian Heaven Palace trial ended. An earth-shattering battle erupted near the Heavenly Profound Mountain in Cang Prefecture. I heard that several Weapon Masters died,” Shui Jingfeng said again.
“Weapon Master?!” The gang members in the field were shocked.
The martial artists present were all upper echelons of the Furious Flood Dragon Gang. They naturally knew the secrets of the aristocratic families, especially when Young Sect Master Han Zhao was around. They had provoked many aristocratic families.
The Young Sect Master was forced to leave his hometown because he had offended too many aristocratic families.
To the disciples, the Weapon Master was an existence even stronger than a Martial Saint.
After all, the disciples of Snake-level aristocratic families were much stronger than Martial Saints of the same level..
