Hide in the Banished Palace and Level Up To A Big Boss Chapter 110: Zhongzhou Was In Turmoil

“Everything is taking a turn for the better! The next plan can proceed as scheduled.”

The long-browed old man took a deep breath, then he absorbed all the golden light from the lotus.

It had been a long time since he felt like this. His skinny body slowly reverted to normal again.

The damn change in Nanzhou! If it wasn’t for the change, his plan would have gone smoothly with no problems, and he would have been able to unify Zhongzhou. But the people of Nanzhou had forced him to advance his actions.

If Nanzhou regained the cultivation channel, it was hard to tell what would happen next.

Just a few years after the two Wells of Prenatal Qi were destroyed, the people from Nanzhou gradually had higher status in Zhongzhou. Clan Xia and Clan Mu even got their own Sacred Ground.

In the opinion of the long-eyebrowed man, it was all because of people from Nanzhou.

Now that the black qi on his brow had dissipated, he finally felt relief and he let out a large sigh.

The long eyebrowed man then began to run methods. A gold dragon appeared on his body as his face was lit up with gold light.

A few moments later, the golden light dimmed.

The long-browed old man opened his eyes, “What’s going on?”

Then he saw the golden lights on the lotus petals gradually faded. Soon, the petals turned gray.

The long-browed old man froze for a moment as anger flashed in his eyes, “Damn those people from Nanzhou!”

…

Under Luoshen River.

Li Mu touched the chain and cut it down with a sword.

Then he lifted the devil’s body and smashed it into pieces.

“What? Someone sneaked into the Imperial Palace of the State of Great Xia?”

He quickly flew into the palace.

“Two Virtual Realm experts… and one even reached the Medium Level. How many years has this guy been alive?”

Before he came to Mount Yan, he had stopped for a while and sensed the people hidden in the air.

At the same time, Li Mu perceived that the Prenatal Qi around him seemed to be decreasing. The two experts had done something to the Well of Prenatal Qi.

His eyes swept across the palace. Li Mu was relieved to see that Imperial Capital was safe and sound. But his face turned gloomy soon after.

How could the Sacred Grounds in Zhongzhou be so shameless? Why did they block the Prenatal Qi of Nanzhou again and again?

Li Mu drew his sword and moved toward the two people in an imposing manner.

All of a sudden, a storm appeared and the two experts felt a strong pressure heading toward them.

Over at Mount Yan, Jinzhe was relieved to see that Prenatal Qi was blocked and that the mission was completed without any problems.

Suddenly, an extremely strong force rose from the distance and headed towards the two of them like a sea wave.

“How powerful! It’s at least a Virtual Realm Upper Level!”

Jinzhe was impressed but his expression changed, “Damn it, it’s someone from the Virtual Realm of Nanzhou. We need to escape, quickly!” Jinzhe left everything behind and frantically made a run for it.

How was it possible? How could the Virtual Realm expert of Nanhou reach the Upper Level?

How long was he hidden? It was hard to imagine. He must have hidden for far longer than a grand ancestor!

Doomed! Jinzhe knew about this change but he didn’t expect it to be so important.

Did they fail to cut the cultivation channel? Their future plan might be affected too.

No! He had to run and tell the Grand Ancestor about this.

In the distance, Li Mu saw the Medium Level Virtual Realm expert trying to make his escape. Li Mu swiftly went after them without saying a word. But he was waiting for them to escape.

The reason was simple.

He didn’t want to hurt the innocent people in the Imperial Capital, so it was better to move the fight away from Mount Yan. He watched as the two men flashed across the sky like two meteors.

After flying away from the State of Great Xia, Li Mu suddenly accelerated and stopped Jinzhe.

“You cut the cultivation channel of Nanzhou and intercepted the Prenatal Qi here. Did you every think about the consequences of your actions?”

Li Mu knew many secrets from the historical records of Taiyue Sacred Ground.

With less Prenatal Qi, the cultivation channel had also declined.

Jinzhe froze. He turned and attempted to fly in the other direction.

“No answer? Time for you to die! Your blood will feed my Phoenix Blood Sword.”

Li Mu took out the Phoenix Blood Sword as lightning appeared in the sky.

“Sword Twenty-three!” Thunderlight and sword qi rose from several places around him.

Then Li Mu attacked Jinze with the sword.

“What?” Jinzhe was still running away but he suddenly froze when confronted by the sword.

“He’s not from the Upper Level… He is…”

Jinzhe’s body was cut into pieces before he could complete his sentence. Bits of his flesh scattered in the air.

When a Supreme Level Virtual Realm expert kills an Upper Level expert with all effort, it is immediate. Jinzhe was killed at once.

After killing Jinzhe, Li Mu turned towards the other Virtual Realm expert and killed him as well.

When Li Mu had appeared, Jinzhe had fled away. The second Virtual Realm expert had tried to run away in the opposite direction; in the east.

When Li Mu chased Jinzhe away, he made a detour back to Zhongzhou.

On the way, he felt the killing intent of the sword coming from behind. Suddenly, he felt something terrible must have happened.

“Such strong killing intention, I’m afraid that Jinzhe is dead now.” He suddenly lost all hope.

There was no way for him to escape since the opponent was so strong.

But he must inform others of this piece of news.

So he flew to a mountain and entered a cavern residence.

He left his methods, treasures, and the words he had to say in the cavern residence. After that, he escaped again.

But he was stopped not long after.

“Just kill me!” He was prepared to die.

Li Mu didn’t say anything and just struck him with the sword.

He then opened a big hole on the ground with his palm. He placed the body in the hole and covered it with dirt.

When he was done, Li Mu returned to the Well of Prenatal Qi and cut down the chains. After that, he used his force to keep the broken chain in his space system.

With one chain cut down, the people from Zhongzhou couldn’t do harm to Nanzhou anymore.

Li Mu also found two bodies in the pit. Their essence and blood had been drained when they were connected to the chains.

“Are they from Nanzhou? It looks like they died a painful death.” Li Mu took the bodies out and threw them away.

“Check-in!”

After a successful check-in, Li Mu left. Inside the palace, Prenatal Qi quickly appeared again after being suppressed for so long.

At the same time, fog appeared over the Luoshen River. The grass and trees in the surrounding areas sprouted and became lively once again.

The cultivators in the area suddenly had some sentiments. In just a few days, many of them made breakthroughs.

Six months later, along both banks of the Luoshen River, more cultivators appeared and settled down.

Even a few Noble Clans moved there.

…

In the Forbidden Ground of Qianyuan Sacred Ground, the old man with long eyebrows was sad.

He had guessed what happened, but he still aged after losing one cultivation channel.

“Advance the plan. We’ve waited for so many years and we still haven’t found any good opportunities. Instead, a bad change happened.”

The long-eyebrowed old man stopped. Then he looked down to think for a while. “Let Qiu Baihui out. Jinzhe is dead and we are short of hands. Let her be a pioneer. It’s not a bad idea for her to die there.”

“Grand Ancestor, what about the man Qiu Baihui brought here?”

“He is a powerful one. With Qiu Honghai and people from Nanzhou around, he could still be the city lord. He’s quite gifted. Let’s check if he is loyal to us and help him cultivate later on. In the next few days, we might need his help.”

…

In the pit of Prenatal Qi in Muguang Mountain, Li Mu closed his eyes and pondered. For him, cultivation was optional. With one check-in, he could get plenty of achievements.

Since he had nothing to do, he went to look at the historical records of Taiyue Sacred Ground.

Zhongzhou and the Qianyuan Sacred Ground had struck again.

Baimu Sacred Ground was annexed.

In total, six to seven thousand people from Clan Baimu were killed.

In an instant, Qianyuan Sacred Ground took control of half of Zhongzhou, and the remaining four Sacred Grounds in Zhongzhou were all in danger.

In Xiamu Sacred Ground, all the experts from Nanzhou had gathered together.

First Elder of Clan Xia glanced at the people in the hall. “Today, Elder Qishan of Huanhai Sacred Ground came to us,” he said. :Since Grand Ancestor is not here, we dare not make a decision alone. So, I invited all of you here to figure a way out together.

Mu Qingfeng nodded. “Just let them fight. We can stay aside and watch.”

“Qianyuan Sacred Ground wants to take control of Zhongzhou, that’s for sure. We should put aside our former grudges and join forces with the other Sacred Grounds in Zhongzhou. Let’s stop Qianyuan Sacred Ground together.”

“Objection! I think when they are almost done fighting, we should just surrender to Qianyuan Sacred Ground. There is nothing wrong with Qianyuan Sacred Ground ruling Zhongzhou.”

Everyone in the hall began to express their own ideas and a fight ensued.

Basically, there were three different opinions. First, the neutral ones wanted to stay and watch them fight. The second group wanted to join Huanhai Sacred Ground and fight Qianyuan Sacred Ground. The last few people chose to surrender.

“You spineless cowards! How can you submit to Qianyuan Sacred Ground?”

“So what? Are we a match for Qianyuan Sacred Ground? If we resist, everything we’ve achieved recently will be ruined.”

“Seconded! It is said that people in Qianyuan Sacred will be treated more fairly when compared with others. Since we can’t beat them, we should surrender so our offspring have a chance to survive.” Soon, the neutral side also split.

In the back of the main hall, two elders of Huanhai Sacred Ground looked at each other and shook their heads.

They didn’t expect that there would be people who would choose to surrender.

They thought for a moment and found that these people from Nanzhou didn’t do

anything wrong either.

When facing Qianyuan Sacred Ground, even Huanhai Sacred Ground was powerless. Let along the people from Nanzhou. Anyway, people from Nanzhou had just made some achievements recently.

If Qianyuan Sacred Ground hadn’t slaughtered nearly 10,000 people in Clan Baimu at one time, they would have thought of surrendering.

In the main hall, the quarrel was still going on.

The elders of Clan Xia and Clan Mu sat still and thought about something else in silence.

They didn’t want to be involved in the dispute between Qianyuan Sacred Ground and other Sacred Grounds.

Whether they resisted or surrendered, they would get nothing out of it.

The best result was to just continue the quarrel. It was a way to give Huanhai Sacred Ground an explanation.

Half a month passed and the quarrel was still going on.

In the back of the hall, the two elders of Huanhai Sacred Ground was beginning to feel anxious.

Half a year later, they got some news from their own Sacred Ground.

“Qianyuan Sacred Ground will lose in this battle, and you will regret it.” They said this and left.

At this point, the people of Nanzhou had split into two parties.

Three years later, Qianyuan Sacred Ground attacked Luojue Sacred Ground.

During this time, Zhongzhou was in turmoil.

At first, everyone in Zhongzhou thought that Qianyuan Sacred Ground could take down Luojue Sacred Ground easily. But there suddenly appeared more than a dozen Virtual Realm experts in Luojue Sacred Ground.

Everyone was shocked.

“They are from Dongzhou. Since Dongzhou is involved, Qianyuan Sacred Ground is in danger.”

“Those people from Dongzhou are trying to throw Zhongzhou into chaos and weaken us. They’re helping Luojue Sacred Ground to stop the unification of Zhongzhou.”

“So, the world will be in turmoil.”

“I’m afraid the chaos will go on for a long time.”

The battle became scorching.

Qianyuan Sacred Ground sent experts to attack the territories of Luojue Sacred Ground, as well as the other Sacred Grounds.

The other Sacred Grounds also sent a death squad to set fires in Qianyuan Sacred Ground.

Zhongzhou gradually went into disorder. There were people killing and being killed everywhere.

Forces disappeared and appeared overnight. People at the top level had to migrate.

Among other Sacred Grounds in Zhongzhou, people from Nanzhou all went to Xiamu Sacred Ground.

The Noble Clans of Xiamu Sacred Ground migrated to Muguang Mountain.
