Invincible Over the World
Chapter 276 - 276 276 City of the Gods

276: Chapter 276: City of the Gods 276: Chapter 276: City of the Gods “Indeed, Big Brother, Black Demon City must be unstable right now; this is a perfect opportunity for us to take over!” The second brother, Liu Dingrong, also spoke up in agreement.

Liu Minghai furrowed his brows and turned to ask the third brother, Liu Wu, “Who is the City Lord of Black Demon City now?”

“It’s Jiang Tianhua, the Sect Leader of the Blood Yan Sect.

Rumors say that Jiang Tianhua joined forces with Chen Xiaotian, caught Nine Evil Sect off guard, attacked them, and then killed Hu Han,” the third brother, Liu Wu, answered.

Liu Minghai fell into deep thought.

Seeing this, all four of them fell silent.

A while later, Liu Minghai lifted his head and asked, “Has Su Meimei now surrendered to Jiang Tianhua?”

“Yes, Big Brother,” the third brother, Liu Wu, nodded and, after a pause, continued, “It’s still uncertain how Jiang Tianhua managed to persuade Chen Xiaotian to join forces with him, and to get Su Meimei to betray Hu Han and surrender to him!

Besides Su Meimei, many elders from the Nine Evil Sect also betrayed Hu Han.

It’s precisely because of this that Jiang Tianhua and Chen Xiaotian were able to easily kill Hu Han!”

Liu Minghai shook his head and said, “I’m afraid the matter isn’t that simple.”

The four of them were taken aback.

“Big Brother, do you mean to say there are other forces behind Jiang Tianhua?” the third brother, Liu Wu, asked, a notion dawning on him.

Liu Minghai nodded and said, “Based on my conjecture, that’s likely the case.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t be possible for Jiang Tianhua to persuade Chen Xiaotian to join him and for people like Su Meimei to betray Hu Han in such a short time.”

The four of them exchanged glances.

“Big Brother, what should we do now then?” the second brother, Liu Dingrong, asked.

Liu Minghai pondered and said, “Have someone investigate and confirm whether Jiang Tianhua really has the backing of other forces.

If he does, it’s likely they have more moves to make, so we must be prepared in advance; if not!” as he said this, Liu Minghai’s eyes flashed with a bloodthirsty light, “then we must take over Black Demon City before others make their move!”

“Yes, Big Brother!” the four of them responded respectfully.

“Also, keep an eye on Ghost Shadow Sect.

The Sect Leader of Ghost Shadow Sect has been getting rather close with the people from Wind Swirl Valley lately.

If Ghost Shadow Sect has ulterior motives, we will have to eliminate them!” Liu Minghai said with a stern voice.

The four of them acknowledged with agreement.

Like with Blood River City, the cities around Black Demon City, although aware of Hu Han’s death, did not dare to act rashly.

Instead, they were investigating whether Jiang Tianhua had the backing of any forces and, if so, which powers from the Chaotic Land were behind him.

Inside the City Lord Mansion of Black Demon City, Huang Xiaolong listened to the reports from Jiang Tianhua, Chen Xiaotian, and Su Meimei concerning the reactions and movements of the cities around Black Demon City upon learning of Hu Han’s death and nodded.

There were a total of six cities within ten thousand li around Black Demon City.

Each of these six cities had forces not much different from those of Black Demon City; some were stronger and some were weaker.

After listening to the reports about the movements and reactions of the six cities, Huang Xiaolong asked the three for details about the distribution of forces and related sects within these cities.

The three of them reported for several hours.

Several hours later, Huang Xiaolong had a clear understanding of the forces around Black Demon City.

“Blood River City,” Huang Xiaolong muttered to himself.

After gaining a clear understanding of the forces around Black Demon City, Huang Xiaolong decided that his next target would be Blood River City.

Because the situation in Blood River City was similar to that of Black Demon City.

In Black Demon City, the Nine Evil Sect, the Blood Yan Sect, and the Sky Witch Sect coexisted as three major forces, with the Nine Evil Sect as the dominant one, whereas in Blood River City, the Five Poison Sect, the Ghost Shadow Sect, and the Tornado Valley were the three major forces, with the Five Poison Sect being the most powerful.

Since he had decided that Blood River City would be his next target, Huang Xiaolong instructed Jiang Tianhua, Chen Xiaotian, and Su Meimei to keep an eye on the movements of the Five Poison Sect, the Ghost Shadow Sect, and the Tornado Valley, looking for opportunities to make a move.

After instructing the three to monitor the movements of the Five Poison Sect’s forces in Blood River City, Huang Xiaolong turned to Jiang Tianhua and said, “Find out if there’s a city in the Chaotic Land that’s holding an auction for First-grade Spiritual Stones soon.”

“First-grade Spiritual Stones.” Although Jiang Tianhua wondered what Huang Xiaolong needed First-grade Spiritual Stones for, he did not dare to ask more questions and respectfully responded in the affirmative.

Huang Xiaolong waved his hand and dismissed the three of them.

Once the three had left, Huang Xiaolong entered the Inner Hall of the Sumeru Divine Mountain to begin his cultivation.

Lately, Huang Xiaolong’s Spiritual Power had been improving rapidly.

He hoped to advance his Ancient Puppet Technique to the Second Rank as soon as possible.

If Huang Xiaolong could cultivate the Ancient Puppet Technique to the Second Rank, it would be of great help both in future battles and in subduing and expanding his power.

Moreover, Huang Xiaolong’s Yijinjing had also been cultivated to its final form, the Finishing Move.

Soon, Huang Xiaolong would be able to completely master the twelve moves, reaching Little Perfection, forming an inner core within his body, from which True Yuan would emerge.

As the inner core circulated every moment, the True Yuan would flow endlessly.

With the presence of True Yuan, Huang Xiaolong’s cultivation speed would once again increase significantly.

Hence, apart from practicing the Sumeru Divine Skill, the Asura Technique, and the Yijinjing, Huang Xiaolong focused mainly on the Ancient Puppet Technique and occasionally practiced the Asura Sword Technique.

Also, whenever Huang Xiaolong found time, he went to the battlefield he passed by when he first entered the Chaotic Land to practice the Asura Ghost Claw.

With the presence of the Death Spirit Cloud formed from the concentrated essence of blood and spirits on that battlefield, the first move of his Asura Ghost Claw, the Ten Thousand Ghosts Howling, had also improved greatly.

Half a month passed.

One day, Jiang Tianhua came to report, “Young Master, I’ve found out that in one month, there will be an auction in the City of the Divine Spirits where they will auction First-grade Spiritual Stones.”

“Oh, the City of the Divine Spirits,” Huang Xiaolong said.

The City of the Divine Spirits was one of the Top Ten Cities in the Chaotic Land, ranking second only to Sin City, which was first.

The City of the Divine Spirits was an ancient city left behind by various ancient clans and the Divine Race.

Its current City Lord was one of the Ten Great Dominators of the Chaotic Land.

As for his strength, no one knew, only that he had been a High-level Holy Domain Expert for many years.

“Yes, Young Master.

In addition to the auction of the First-grade Spiritual Stones, it is said that a Heavenly Grade Technique and a Combat Skill will also be auctioned,” Jiang Tianhua continued his report.

“A Heavenly Grade Technique and Combat Skill?” Huang Xiaolong was slightly surprised.

Jiang Tianhua went on to say, “And they are Intermediate Heavenly Grade Techniques and Combat Skills.

The technique seems to be called the Great Thousand Skill, and the combat skill seems to be called the Limitless Wind-breaking Finger.”

The Great Thousand Skill?

Limitless Wind-breaking Finger?

Huang Xiaolong nodded; he had heard Zhao Shu and Zhang Fu mention these before.

This auction of Intermediate Heavenly Grade Techniques and Combat Skills in the City of the Divine Spirits was bound to be extremely lively.

“Help me make the arrangements; in two days, I will head to the City of the Divine Spirits,” Huang Xiaolong decided after a moment and spoke to Jiang Tianhua.

Traveling from Black Demon City to the City of the Divine Spirits, with Huang Xiaolong’s current speed, would take roughly one month.

Jiang Tianhua responded respectfully, and then he reported to Huang Xiaolong the movements and reactions of the Five Poison Sect, the Ghost Shadow Sect, and the Tornado Valley in Blood River City.

After listening, Huang Xiaolong nodded and ordered Jiang Tianhua to keep a close watch on the movements of the surrounding cities during his trip to the City of the Divine Spirits and to defend Black Demon City well.(To be continued.
