nIt was the time of spring, and in the past few days, it had been drizzling on the Sunset Peak,

nA few sharp bamboo shoot tips emerged from the bamboo forest, and the tender shoots were covered with water drops that fell in the wind.

n“Senior Brother, you brought me here to see this bamboo shoot?”

n“Wrong!”!

nThis was not an ordinary bamboo shoot. This was a bamboo shoot produced by a grade one spirit herb, purple spirit bamboo.

nIt was called purple bamboo for short.

nUh…

nSo Senior Brother really brought her here to look at the bamboo shoot. She thought…

nShen Yaoling looked away in disappointment.

n“Junior Sister, don’t judge this fellow just because he doesn’t look good. He tastes different from ordinary bamboo shoots!”

n“How is he different?”

nSeeing that Shen Yaoling was a little disappointed, a strange feeling rose in Su Xing’s heart.

nHe hurriedly rolled up his sleeves, intending to show off.

n“You haven’t gone out to eat these past few days. Senior Brother, I’ll show you a thing or two today.”

nIt was decided that it would be you.

n“Let’s eat today, braised spring bamboo shoots in oil!”

nAfter choosing some fresh bamboo shoots, Su Xing and Shen Yaoling left the bamboo forest.

nThey had recently changed a batch of good-quality equipment, and the efficiency of cooking had also increased by a lot.

nIn less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the dishes were already prepared.

n“Junior Sister, eat more.”

n“Okay.”

nToday, Shen Yaoling seemed to be a different person. Even when she was eating, her expression was a little different from usual.

nSeeing Shen Yaoling eating so elegantly, Su Xing was really not used to it.

nAfter the meal was full, Shen Yaoling even took the initiative to help clean up the dishes.

nShe looked like a good wife and mother.

nThis was absolutely impossible in the past. Every time she finished eating, she was the one who left the fastest.

nWhat happened today?

nDid this little girl encounter something difficult?

nShe wasn’t usually like this!

nSu Xing was puzzled.

nShen Yaoling said without thinking.

n“Senior Brother, don’t you have anything to say to Ling’er?”

nSu Xing was somewhat familiar with this scene. In the past, beautiful masters would also ask him this when they were in a bad mood.

nHe called out in his heart, “I’m fine, I’m familiar with this job!”

n“Junior Sister has become much more beautiful recently. In terms of temperament, she has already surpassed most women. She can be said to be one of the rare beauties in the heavens, one of the most beautiful women in the world.”

nA woman who adored her own looks could not help but feel a hint of joy in her heart.

nSenior Brother Su Xing usually looked honest, but she did not expect him to be so good at coaxing girls.

nNo, he had to keep a close eye on her in the future so that he wouldn’t harm other senior sisters.

n“Junior Sister, you can take it now, right?”

nShen Yaoling grabbed the Qiankun bag in her hands.

nShe changed her previous solemn look and put the Qiankun bag into her pocket with a giggle.

n“How can I take back what I gave you? I’ll accept it with a smile, Junior Sister!”

n“It was meant for you.”

nSu Xing rolled his eyes at her.

nConsidering Shen Yaoling’s physique, her cultivation method was different from that of the Lightning Heavenly Monsters Tribe.

nHe took out a porcelain bottle from his system bag.

n“Here. Since Senior Brother doesn’t have anything, I’ll give you this bottle of pills.”

n“What are these?”

nSeven round golden pills lay quietly in the porcelain bottle. They were the Tianji Qi Dominating Pills that he had seen before.

n“Senior Brother, these are too valuable…”

n“You can take these. Master has a lot of them. When I’m free, I can search master’s room and find the rest.”

n“Ugh!”

nThere were a lot of heaven-grade pills that could increase one’s cultivation strength!

nShen Yaoling was stunned for a moment. Then, she remembered how Su Xing had casually taken out the Tianji Qi Dominating Pill last time, as if he had given her a candy.

nWhat he said might be true!

nThis kind of heaven-grade medicinal pill was a very precious resource even among the Heaven Demon Rats. Shen Yaoling found it hard to imagine what kind of people her Senior Brother and Master were.

nA heaven-grade medicinal pill had appeared in such a barren Eastern Wilderness.

nShen Yaoling did not dare to think further.

n…

nAfter a long while.

nShen Yaoling announced that she had entered closed-door cultivation period as if she had obtained a treasure.

nThe energy of the black-robed old man and the others last time was too huge. Although they had successfully refined it with the help of Su Xing, they still needed to go into closed-door cultivation to master it.

nWhen she came out of closed-door cultivation again, she would be able to take another step forward.

nIt had to be said that the talent of the Lightning Heavenly Monster Tribe was so terrifying.

nNone of his Junior Sisters were mortals!

nSu Xing sighed and turned around, just in time to meet a pair of beautiful eyes.

n“Eh! Junior Sister, you came out of seclusion so quickly.”

nSu Xing was a little surprised. He actually couldn’t see Su Yan’er’s specific cultivation level.

nThe Empress’s strength was finally about to be revealed.

nSu Yan’er and Mo Yuanqing couldn’t help but be astonishingly talented. Their cultivation levels were also more ruthless than the other. It wasn’t an exaggeration for a cultivation maniac to be placed on these two Junior Sisters.

nAfter Mo Yuanqing, Su Yan’er also announced that she was going into seclusion to cultivate.

nIt seemed that the phenomenon of the Black Tortoise Constellation Array was quite big. Even the Empress had broken out of her closed-door cultivation.

n…

nInside the Mysterious Sky Sword Sect.

nThe phenomenon of the Black Tortoise Constellation Array also caused quite a stir.

nZhuang Changhe gathered a group of the sect’s upper echelons and began to investigate the source of the phenomenon.

nThe atmosphere that was originally filled with endless discussion suddenly came to an end.

nA steady middle-aged man from the Old City walked in quickly.

n“Sect Master, we’ve already investigated. The abnormal phenomenon this time caused a total of more than 200 disciples to have a breakthrough in their realms. Many elders also caused their bottlenecks to loosen, and they all announced that they were going into seclusion to achieve a breakthrough.”

n“For the time being, there haven’t been any adverse effects.”

n“Have you found out what the reason is?”

nThe great elder shook his head, and the other elders did not say anything.

nEveryone was obviously confused.

nOne wave after another, Zhuang Changhe had a headache because of this.

nThen, he subconsciously looked at the Sunset Peak.

nHe was deep in thought.

nThe abnormal phenomenon didn’t cause any damage to the Sect. On the contrary, many people from the Sect had benefited from it. It seemed that the other party didn’t threaten them, but was helping the Blackheaven Sword Sect.

nHe pondered about it again and had an idea in his mind.

n“Pass down the order. The patriarch has broken through and triggered the phenomenon of heaven and earth to benefit the Blackheaven Sword Sect. Tell all the disciples to speed up their cultivation. Don’t let down the patriarch’s kindness!”

n“We will abide by the decree.”

n“Congratulations to the patriarch for completing his divine technique. Congratulations to the rise of the Blackheaven Sword Sect!”

nEveryone’s eyes lit up, as if all their previous doubts were swept away.

nThey all shouted loudly.

nAfter giving a simple order, Zhuang Changhe dismissed everyone.

n“Alright, you guys can go down first!”

nAfter the group of higher-ups left, the main hall instantly became empty.

nZhuang Changhe looked around. Seeing that there was no one around, he rode his sword and flew straight towards the Sunset Peak.

n…

nAt this moment, a thousand miles away.

nDong!

nDong!

nDong!

nA muffled sound came from outside the Imperial Capital of Dafeng.

nIt was as if there was something huge rushing over from afar at an extremely fast speed.

nThe floating earth shook and the muffled sounds were dense.

nUnder the shocked gazes of the city guards, the Southeast direction of the city gate was covered in dust.

nFollowing that, over a hundred black armored soldiers with long blades at their waists galloped over on horeseback.

nBefore they arrived, a stern shout was heard.

n“All of you get out of the way! I have something to report to His Majesty.”

nFacing the Black Armored Army that was rushing over, the soldiers guarding the city did not dare to stop them.

nThey rushed into the city and headed straight for the palace.

n“Report! I have something to report!”

nThe Black Armored Army general in the lead knelt on one knee outside Yangxin Palace.

nAt this moment, Mo Shenghong was reading the memorials. The moment he heard the voice, he immediately retreated.

nHe looked down at the people below the stage.

n“Have you found them?”

n“Reporting to your Majesty, my 3,000 black armored soldiers have all moved out. We will be searching in four directions, east, south, west, and north.”

n“The area within a hundred miles has already been turned upside down.”

nBang!

nLooking at the memorials that were deeply embedded in the marble table, the black armored general’s face turned completely white.

n“Your Majesty!”

n“Go and find them again. If they’re alive, we want to see them. If they’re dead, we want to drag their bodies back!”

n“Yes, sir! I’ll go now.”

nBefore he could even wipe the cold sweat off his face, the black armored general retreated in fear.

n“Damn it, how could he escape?”

n“Trash, they’re all a bunch of trash!”

nThe sound of something breaking and the sound of rage rang out from the main hall.

nOutside Yangxin Palace Hall.

nThe two rows of followers stood in two rows. No one dared to make a single sound of heading east. They all lowered their heads in fear.

n
