Chapter 216 The Penglai Family’s Request!
Lin Wudao didn’t leave the Shangqing Sword Palace immediately after going through his gains.
Instead, he planned to stay here for a while longer.
The destruction of the Shangqing Sword Palace would definitely shock the entire Qingcang Territory and even the Green Heaven Region. It would not be long before many large factions would come to investigate.
Lin Wudao wanted to use the destruction of the Shangqing Sword Palace to announce the power of the City of Sin to the entire Green Heaven Region and even the Great World of Divine Desolation.
He believed that with the Shangqing Sword Palace as a warning, any other major powers that wanted to touch the City of Sin would have to think twice.
Thinking of this, Lin Wudao immediately sat cross-legged in the Shangqing Hall. Then, he took out the Corpse-refining Furnace and began to refine the large number of corpses stored inside.
Although the owners of these corpses had relatively weak cultivations when they were alive, no matter how small a mosquito was, it was still meat. It was good enough to be able to absorb some power.
It was better than him cultivating by himself.
…
Just like that, as Lin Wudao immersed himself in cultivation, time pa.s.sed quickly.
Half a month pa.s.sed.
At this point, tens of thousands of cultivators had already gathered outside the ruins of the Shangqing Sword Palace. All of them widened their eyes and looked at the scene in front of them in disbelief.
There was shock, disbelief, panic, and fear in the crowd.
“Ha! The Shangqing Sword Palace was really destroyed! Is Lin Wudao from the City of Sin that terrifying? The Shangqing Sword Palace has been pa.s.sed down for 9,000 years. Its foundation and strength are not weak, but it can’t even stop him?” A person from a large faction said in shock.
“Isn’t the Shangqing Sword Palace guarded by a legendary Extreme Dao ancient spiritual weapon? How could it be destroyed by Lin Wudao overnight? ”
“Who knows?”
“Is there a possibility that the Shangqing Sword Palace is not Lin Wudao’s match even after using their Extreme Dao weapon?”
“If that’s the case, that would be too terrifying…”
…
Discussions rose and fell.
Then, they fused into his body.
The corpses in the Corpse-refining Furnace included more than 8,000 cultivators from the Buried Although many were shocked by the sudden destruction of the Shangqing Sword Palace, they were even more bewildered. They wanted to know just how powerful Lin Wudao really was.
In Shangqing Hall, Lin Wudao did not care about the shock and discussion of the outside world.
In the past half a month, he had been concentrating on refining the corpses. Strands of essence were filtered through the corpse refining furnace and absorbed.
Then, they fused into his body.
The corpses in the Corpse-refining Furnace included more than 8,000 cultivators from the Buried Dragon Secret Realm, 100,000 citizens of the City of Sin, and 8,000 sect members of the Shangqing Sword Palace.
Boom!
As the last corpse was refined, Lin Wudao’s cultivation finally reached the mid-stage of the Heavenly Nirvana Realm.
He was not very satisfied with this result, but he did not complain too much.
After all, the cultivation of those corpses was very low, so he could not gain much from them at all. After the Corpse-refining Furnace extracted one ten-thousandth of their essence, there was not much left.
Moreover, the further one cultivated, the greater the gap between realms.
It was already very good to be able to break through to the mid-stage of the Heavenly Nirvana Realm.
…
“Someone.”
Lin Wudao called out softly after sensing his strength.
“Greetings, City Lord!”
Murong Shan appeared in front of him at his fastest speed. His expression was extremely respectful.
“How long has it been since I started cultivating?”
“City Lord, it has been exactly half a month!”
Half a month?
Lin Wudao nodded.
Immediately after, his powerful divine sense swept across the outside world and he discovered the figures of a large number of cultivators.
“City Lord, outside… Many people have come. Moreover, they seem to be from major powers outside of the Qingcang Territory. In addition, according to my understanding during this period, the background of the Shangqing Sword Palace is not simple. It’s said that it has a close relationship with Infinite Sword City…”
Murong Shan pondered for a while before mustering up his courage and speaking up.
Infinite Sword City?
Lin Wudao raised his eyebrows slightly.
This was already the second time he had heard of Infinite Sword City.
“Is Infinite Sword City very strong?”
“Yes!” Murong Shan nodded.
“City Lord, I heard that the Infinite Sword City is one of the top magnates in the Great World of Divine Desolation. It has been pa.s.sed down for more than ten thousand years. Its power and foundation are extremely powerful. In the vast Great World of Divine Desolation, only the Taiqing Dao Sect, the Taiyi Dao Sect, the True Martial Divine Palace, and other major factions can compare to them. The inheritance of the Shangqing Sword Palace is most likely from the Infinite Sword City,” Murong Shan reminded him.
Obviously, He was worried that Lin Wudao would suffer the revenge of the Infinite Sword City after destroying the Shangqing Sword Palace.
After all, compared to the Infinite Sword City, the Shangqing Sword Palace could only be regarded as an ant-like existence. It was not presentable at all.
Such an ancient power was simply beyond his imagination! Therefore, Murong Shan’s heart was filled with panic and worry.
Compared to him, Lin Wudao’s expression was very calm and composed. There was not the slightest ripple on his cold face.
“Infinite Sword City, huh? It won’t be long before I will also step on it…”
His indifferent voice slowly sounded.
What? Would he destroy the Infinite Sword City in the future?
Murong Shan was shocked when he heard this!
“Looks like the City Lord is even more powerful than I imagined…”
He secretly took a deep breath.
After that, under the gazes of many cultivators, Lin Wudao steered a spiritual boat and turned into a stream of light that soared into the sky. In the blink of an eye, he left the territory of the Shangqing Sword Palace.
…
Two days later, Lin Wudao returned to the City of Sin.
Just as he sat down, a guard came to report, “City Lord, someone who claims to be from the Penglai family requests an audience!”
Were they finally here?
Upon hearing this name, Lin Wudao’s eyes were filled with a faint sense of puzzlement and curiosity. He really wanted to know why the Penglai family, which had always been uninvolved in worldly affairs, would rescue Han Qingshan and the others.
“Welcome them in.”
“Yes, sir!” The guard replied respectfully.
Very quickly, he brought a large group of people to the main hall of the City Lord’s Mansion.
The leader was a middle-aged man with a refined temperament. His cultivation was at the early stage of the Divine Mansion realm. Among the people Lin Wudao had come into contact with, he was not considered powerful.
Other than him, there was also a peerless, otherworldly woman in white and a girl in purple who exuded a spiritual aura.
Further behind were Han Qingshan, Zhao Mang, and the eleven mourners that Lin Wudao was familiar with.
“Greetings, City Lord!”
“Young Master!”
When they saw Lin Wudao, Zhao Mang and Han Qingshan immediately greeted him respectfully. However, their faces were filled with shame and they did not dare to look up at Lin Wudao.
“Get up! This turn of events is not your fault. That Lü Qinghou killed 100,000 citizens of the City of Sin, but I have already taken revenge. From now on, the Green Heaven Region will no longer have the Shangqing Sword Palace.”
Lin Wudao spoke softly.
What was that? The Shangqing Sword Palace had been destroyed?
Upon hearing this, Han Qingshan and Zhao Mang were shocked.
Obviously, this news had a huge impact on them.
Among the people present, only Xiao Jinglun and the others from the Penglai family maintained their calm and indifferent expressions.
However, a trace of shock still flashed across the depths of their eyes.
Although he had heard Xiao Ziyi’s prediction before, Xiao Jinglun could not help but be shocked when he heard the news of the destruction of the Shangqing Sword Palace.
Lin Wudao was even more mysterious and powerful than he had imagined.
“You guys can leave first!”
As he spoke, Lin Wudao gave Han Qingshan and Zhao Mang the Great Heavenly Cycle Pills he had obtained previously. Then, he gave each of them a Human Dao ancient spiritual weapon.
After they left with grat.i.tude, Lin Wudao turned his gaze to Xiao Jinglun and the others.
“This time, thank you for saving my subordinates, Clan Leader Xiao! Otherwise, it is likely that these few subordinates of mine will not be able to escape the fate of death.”
“City Lord, you’re too polite. It’s just a small matter. Moreover, even if I didn’t make a move, Lu Qinghou wouldn’t have been able to kill those eleven subordinates of the City Lord given their powerful bodies. Seriously speaking, it must have been somewhat unnecessary for me to act,” Xiao Jinglun said with a smile.
In response, Lin Wudao shook his head.
Although the bodies of the 11 mourners were indestructible, they were very weak. It was impossible for them to withstand Lu Qinghou’s powerful strength.
Without Xiao Jinglun’s help, Han Qingshan and Zhao Mang would have died. He had to return this favor.
“Clan Leader Xiao has saved the lives of my subordinates. Is there anything I can help the Penglai family with?”
“Well, to tell you the truth, we have indeed come to the City of Sin this time to seek help from the City Lord…”
Speaking of serious matters, Xiao Jinglun’s expression also became solemn.
“Clan leader, feel free to speak! As long as I can help, I will definitely not decline,” Lin Wudao said calmly.
Hearing this, the worries in Xiao Jinglun’s heart immediately lessened.
“It’s like this. In a few days, the Taicang Ancestral Land will open. At that time, the Penglai family would like to ask the City Lord for help to head to the Taicang Ancestral Land and rescue one of our ancestors. After this is done, the Penglai family is willing to use an Extreme Dao ancient spiritual weapon as a reward,” Xiao Jinglun said sincerely.
Hmm? Taicang Ancestral Land?
Upon hearing this, Lin Wudao’s lips curled into a faint smile.
What a coincidence. He was also going to the Taicang Ancestral Land next.
However, the Penglai family actually had an Extreme Dao ancient spiritual weapon?
For them to be willing to pay such a price, what kind of ident.i.ty did the so-called ancestor have? How powerful was he?
Thinking of this, Lin Wudao could not help but ponder.
