HEAVENLY DAO RANK: I WAS EXPOSED AS A SWORD GOD
Chapter 22: You Know Nothing
The news that the Netherworld Demon Sect had conquered most of Mo Prefecture with the help of the Northern Desert Wolf King Clan spread like wildfire in the Great Xia Dynasty.
The world was shaken as panic spread.
Because the disciples of the Netherworld Demon Sect practically occupied half of the Hidden Dragon Rank. It was a constant reminder to everyone how frightening and powerful the Netherworld Demon Sect was.
The Heavenly Dao Rank seemed to be shrouded in terrifying dark clouds. It enveloped the entire dynasty and commoners, making them feel uneasy.
Moreover, the news of the demon child destroying the Heavenly Water Pavilion had overshadowed the hearts of the people of the Great Xia Dynasty.
Now, the Netherworld Demon Sect had encroached on the territory of the Great Xia Dynasty with the Northern Desert Wolf King Clan, killing the famous general of the Great Xia Dynasty, Ye Gusheng, and his troops.
To the commoners, this was simply a sign of the collapse of their world.
Moreover, the Wolf King clan had always been a thorn stuck in the hearts of the citizens of the Great Xia Dynasty. Their presence was like a sword hanging above their heads.
Hence, it was easy to imagine their panic when hearing that the Wolf King clan had invaded Mo Prefecture.
Thus, insecurity and fear plagued the nation.
In the imperial palace of the Great Xia Dynasty, in the emperor's room.
“Cough, cough, cough.. Is Ye Guxiong's injury serious?”
On the bed, the sick and weak Murong Cang asked weakly.
He nearly died on the spot from anger when he heard about the situation of Mo Prefecture.
Ye Gusheng had been killed in that battle, and Ye Guxiong was also seriously injured.
That meant that the Great Xia Dynasty had lost two of its most powerful generals at once.
The loss of a large part of the Mo Prefecture region was a crushing blow.
“Currently, we have sent him back to the Ye Residence. His life is no longer in danger, but it might be difficult for him to immediately enter the battlefield.” The Grand Commander, Zhao Qiu, said, “The only person who can lead the fighting forces now is Ye Guxing from the Ye Family, but he is currently guarding the borders of Qing Prefecture.”.
"Then send Ye Guxing!" Murong Cang said.
"Your Majesty, then the Xi Liang Dynasty might take the opportunity to attack!" Prime Minister Zhu Hongyuan said.
“Qingzhou Jade Peak Path is easy to hold and hard to storm. Even if the Xi Liang Dynasty wanted to attack, they would not be able to break through the border in a short period of time. The war in the north is more urgent now.We must stop the Wolf King clan from advancing south no matter what!” Murong Cang said weakly, then coughed loudly.
In the past hundred years, the military power of the Xi Liang Dynasty had become far superior to the Great Xia Dynasty.
More than a decade ago, the Xi Liang Dynasty invaded the Great Xia Dynasty and annexed a vast territory.
In the end, the Great Xia Dynasty had no choice but to hand over the entire Wen Prefecture to the Xi Liang Dynasty and compensate them a large amount of gold, silver, and treasure.
He even sent many princesses through political marriages in exchange for more than ten years of peace.
However, in recent years, the Xi Liang Dynasty seemed agitated and wanted to create trouble.
The Great Xia Dynasty was currently facing internal and external threats.
However, Murong Cang knew he did not have much time left. He can't do much.
Zhu Hongyuan fell silent. He had no voice about the war, and he had no better idea at the moment.
The north is more urgent than the west.
They could give up more land in the west in exchange for temporary peace.
Instead, the invaders in the north wanted to eat meat and drink blood. They killed, robbed, and committed all sorts of notorious crimes. They were savages who were impossible to negotiate with.
…
Mo Prefecture Great Xia Dynasty, Netherworld Demon Sect.
The Sect Master of the Netherworld Demon Sect, Mo Lin, removed his mask and walked towards a middle-aged man who was being held back by magic equipment. He said with a cold smile, "Qingyun Zi, it has probably been a long time since someone called you like this!"
The man turned his head towards the voice, and a hint of surprise appeared on his handsome face. "That's you!"
This man was none other than Li Yu's father, Li Qingyun.
Li Qingyun was in Qingshang City, located about 30 kilometers from Luo Water City, tricking a large family into investing in her Daoist temple.
In the end, he had just cheated a large sum of money when he was kidnapped by the Netherworld Demon Sect.
At first, he was a little surprised. Did the Netherworld Demon Sect take the wrong medicine?
What's the point of kidnapping a person like him who only has a handsome face?
The enemy must have met on the narrow road!
"What's wrong? You can't stay in the Netherworld Cult anymore and come to the Great Xia Dynasty to form your own faction? Li Qingyun asked while grinning.
Mo Lin coldly snorted as she looked at Li Qingyun with a mocking expression and said, “What right do you have to speak ill of me here? As the mighty and illustrious Holy Son of the Divine Horizon Holy Land, you actually slaughtered your way to the Clear Void Holy Land and killed many orthodox experts for a demonic girl. No matter how I think about it, your actions like that sound like something we can only do.”
"Li Qingyun, I think you should have really joined our Netherworld Cult back then!" Mo Lin looked at Li Qingyun teasingly.
After the Heavenly Dao Rank revealed the top genius of the Great Xia Dynasty was Li Yu, he coincidentally heard the name Li Qingyun during his investigation of 'That's a Pretty Great Sect'.
He had not expected that Li Qingyun, who was as dazzling as a star, as powerful as a god, and who shook the world and led the era, would become like this.
Appeared in a small place like this in the Great Xia Dynasty.
Back in his glory days, Li Qingyun had fought against the world alone for the sake of the woman he loved. Although it had caused quite an uproar, it was limited to the circles of the cultivation world, and few people in the secular world knew of it.
There were probably some people in the Great Xia Dynasty who had heard of this event. Still, not many knew about Li Qingyun.
Mo Lin was from the Netherworld Cult in the Great Zenith Domain and was a core member. Therefore, he had met and fought Li Qingyun many times.
They know each other too.
As the Holy Son of the Sacred Firmament Holy Land, Li Qingyun had led attacks in the past and killed many Underworld Cult disciples.
Her beloved sister had died under Li Qingyun's sword that year.
Therefore, he and Li Qingyun could be considered irreconcilable.
However, Li Qingyun was too strong back then. Even ten of him were no match for her. He had even lived in fear of being under the mercy of this person.
Who would have thought that the world was fickle and this blessed son of heaven would fall from grace overnight?
Li Qingyun became a scum hated by the people from the orthodox path, and her reputation was destroyed when she was expelled from the Great Region of Zenith.
From then on, he disappeared and gradually disappeared from everyone's memories.
Mo Lin had not expected to meet him here in the Great Xia Dynasty.
“Ptui, don't flatter yourself. You guys are not worthy!” li Qingyun's.
Mo Lin grabbed onto Li Qingyun's collar and shouted furiously, “Li Qingyun, stop with that arrogance here. Do you think you were still Qingyun Zi back then?
“Your cultivation level has been crippled by the Divine Horizon Sacred Lord, and your meridians have been broken by members of your orthodox sect. What's the difference between you and the trash now? Whoever my disciple can easily crush you to death!
“If you want to kill me, then kill me. Stop that shit!” Li Qingyun looked impatient.
After experiencing the ups and downs of life, he had long been indifferent to life and death.
Now that he was in Mo Lin's hands, he had never thought of leaving alive.
“Hmph, then you might have to wait. When you and your son are reunited, I'll personally send you both on a journey. With your son Li Yu by your side, you will no longer be lonely traveling to the underworld!” Mo Lin said with a cold smile, his gaze ice-cold.
“You want to use me to lure Li Yu here!?” Li Qingyun's expression changed as she revealed a shocked expression.
“Haha, so how about that? Are you scared?" Mo Lin laughed. He was very pleased with Li Qingyun's reaction.
He wanted Li Qingyun to feel how it felt to be overcome with fear.
"No, it's just that your Netherworld Demon Sect is done!"
Li Qingyun's reply surprised Mo Lin.
"What's? Do you mean by chance that Li Yu can exterminate my Netherworld Demon Sect? Ha ha! Li Qingyun, are you trying to intimidate me? You must come up with a worthy reason first! You really think that a brat like Li Yu could overturn the heavens?
“Even if he was the first in the Hidden Dragon Rank, it was only ranked among a group of children. Do you think he is truly invincible?
“And don't you think it's a shame to use your son to scare others? Li Qingyun, you really are becoming more and more delusional the longer you live. I really underestimated you!”
“Huh, there are many people who underestimate me. Who do you think you are? You better think hard about your last words! Li Qingyun could not be bothered to talk nonsense with Mo Lin.
He thought Mo Lin had kidnapped him to take revenge for what happened back then.
He had not expected this person to want to implicate Li Yu.
The fool of the demon path, you know nothing about my son's strength.
