Chapter 737: Controlling the Slaughter Dao! (2)

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

An indescribable sense of power made Xiao Shi feel that he could easily crush himself, who was still a Sage a moment ago. “It worked!” His heart was filled with excitement. He had successfully transformed his first Dao with his Dao Origin, the Slaughter Dao! From this, he went from a Sage to the first realm of the upper three realms of the Martial Dao, the Daolord Realm.

At the same time, the matter of all the Sages in the Xueyan Kingdom being killed had already caused a huge commotion in the Wu Empire! It caused an unprecedented earthquake in the entire Wu Empire.

After all, such a thing had never happened since the establishment of the entire Wu Empire. While this shocked the Daolords and demigods, they were also thinking about the person who had carried out this matter.

“I can be sure that the person behind the scenes must be an itinerant cultivator outside our Wu Empire. The main method is a mysterious and unfathomable ability to control corpses. First, he steals the corpses of Sages, then he kills through the control of the corpses. From the information we have so far, the other party mainly has dream, corpse control, and self-destruction abilities.

“Although the Sage on the surface has already self-destructed and died, I’m sure that this person is most likely a pawn of the person behind the scenes. He’s not the person who planned all of this.”

At that moment, all the demigods and Daolords of the Wu Empire were gathered to discuss this matter. To them, the most important thing now was to find the mastermind as quickly as possible.

“It’s very likely that there’s more than one person behind this.” Demigod Tianxian tapped his fingers on the table. “Such an operation can’t be completed by just one person. I heard that some itinerant Sages have appeared in various countries recently? 1 suspect that it’s very likely that these itinerant Sages are here as spies. We need to control these itinerant Sages first. Perhaps we can obtain some clues from them.”

Everyone nodded in agreement. In the past, they did not care much about the attitude of these itinerant cultivators. They could freely enter and exit the Wu Empire. After all, they did not think much of these itinerant cultivators. They never thought that these itinerant cultivators could cause any waves in the Wu Empire.

Unexpectedly, they were actually plotted by these itinerant cultivators to slaughter all the Sages in a lower country.

“I’m not worried about finding these itinerant cultivators behind the scenes. What I’m worried about is, this might wake the Martial Progenitor up.”

One of the demigods expressed his concern. Even though this matter had blown up, in the eyes of demigods, this was only a matter at the level of a Sage. With their status, such a matter wasn’t worth their attention and attention.

If not for the fact that too many Sages had been killed this time, they could not even be bothered to appear. However, the awakening of the Martial Progenitor was a matter that they were extremely nervous and attached great importance to.

Even the leader of these demigods, Demigod Tianxian, frowned slightly with a worried expression.

The rules prohibiting the death of existences above the Sage Realm were personally set by the Martial Progenitor. Not long after the Martial Progenitor established this rule, he fell into a deep sleep.

However, these demigods knew how important this matter was to the Martial Progenitor. Now that so many Sages had died at once, it was inevitable that it would provoke the Martial Progenitor and wake him up from his slumber.

Sometimes, the more worried one was about something, the more it would happen. Just as the demigods were feeling worried, a terrifying will suddenly rose from the Wu Empire. The expressions of the demigods led by Demigod Tianxian instantly changed drastically. Even with their demigod cultivation, they felt humble in front of this will.

It was like a mortal meeting a god. Just the appearance of this will make them unable to help but kneel on the ground.

On the other hand, the matter of Xiao Shi killing the Sages of the Xueyan Kingdom in one go was also known by those half-step Daolords who had entered the Beginner Martial Era from other eras.

The moment they learned of this news, their expressions froze, and their entire bodies turned to stone on the spot. An indescribable storm rose in their hearts! They were all well aware of the difficulty of killing Sages in the Beginner Martial Era.

During the first few resets, one of them had once chosen the identity of the Slaughter Palm Dao. However, in the past 300 years, there was no chance of killing a Sage. But now, Xiao Shi, who had only been here for less than five years, had actually killed the Sages of the entire Xueyan Kingdom alone.

This stunned them all. They subconsciously guessed that the silver-haired and silver-eyed Daolord was secretly helping Xiao Shi. But on second thought, even the silver-haired and silver-eyed Daolord could not do this.

They began to inquire about Xiao Shi’s killing process and method. After knowing that Xiao Shi had actually used the corpses of Sages to kill these Sages, their hearts suffered an incomparably violent impact again.

Most of them immediately sent a voice transmission to the half-step Daolord from the Martial Corpse Era and asked her why she was helping Xiao Shi.

The half-step Daolord from the Martial Corpse Era was first puzzled by their questions. Then, after knowing that Xiao Shi had killed the Sages of the Xueyan Kingdom with the corpses of many Sages, the impact on her heart was instantly a hundred or a thousand times stronger than the others!!

“Impossible!!!” She cried out in alarm. As someone from the Martial Corpse Era, she knew better than anyone that it was not easy to control corpses. Even if it was her, she could, at most, control eight corpses with the strength of Sages.

It was impossible for her to control forty to fifty corpses with the strength of Sages. Moreover, she was not the only one who could not do it. Even in the Martial Corpse Era she was in, she had never heard of anyone controlling so many Sage corpses at the same time.

In theory, only the legendary Red Refinement Secret Technique had hope of reaching this step. But it was only a theory. After all, even someone who had grasped the Red Refinement Secret Technique could not refine so many Sage-level Red Refined Corpses. Therefore, when she found out about this, the impact she suffered was far stronger than others.

“Could it be that the later generations have already reached this level in the refinement of corpses?!” She could not help but have a guess. She also told the others that this matter had nothing to do with her.

Although she really didn’t want to admit it, she knew very well that this person from the later era had completely surpassed her, a Sage of the Martial Corpse Era, in terms of the control of corpses.

Just as they were shocked by this, the silver-haired and silver-eyed Daolord also sent them a message at this moment. “The Wu Empire wants to control us itinerant cultivators. Everyone, you’d better think of a way to leave the Wu Empire as soon as possible!”

Everyone was shocked when they heard this. They instantly realized that this was a measure taken by the Wu Empire after Xiao Shi killed those Sages. “Damn it!” Their hearts sank. They immediately used their own methods to leave the Wu Empire. They knew very well that once they were controlled by the Wu Empire, it would be difficult for them to achieve anything in the next 300 years.

None of them dared to stop at all. They immediately left the Wu Empire. They all had their own methods. They successfully left the Wu Empire in time before the Daolords in the Wu Empire took action.

After they left the Wu Empire, all of them were furious. They felt that they had been implicated by Xiao Shi for no reason. Hatred for Xiao Shi rose in all of them. More importantly, once they left the Wu Empire, they would no longer be able to control the Dao in their own ways. No matter what method they used to control the Dao, it could only be carried out in the Wu Empire.

Once they left the Wu Empire, they would never have the chance to master the Dao again. This immediately made them furious. As the saying went, cutting off someone’s financial path was like killing their parents.

Such an undeserved calamity had already made them enemies with Xiao Shi.. Especially if they could not enter the Wu Empire in the next 200 years, then this reset would be completely in vain!
