Chapter 515: Chapter 278: The Four-sided Martial Arts Academy closes down, mishap in the Death Swamp
At this time, the battle in Four Direction City had come to an end.
Out of the tens of thousands of Qilin Army soldiers, less than ten thousand remained.
However, there was not a trace of sadness in their eyes. Instead, there was joy of surviving this calamity and shock from witnessing the arrival of a godlike being.
For these Qilin Army soldiers, the Golden Body Realm and the Rune Seed Realm were almost insurmountable existences.
There was not much difference between the Golden Core Realm and the legendary gods.
Now, the revered ‘god’ has fallen, and the golden rain that descended healed their injuries and even broke through their long-held bottlenecks.
“I never expected that one day, I would be able to break through to the True Qi Realm,” sighed a burly Qilin soldier.
Lu Yun, who had killed Fan Xinghe and Mo Wuzong, two Golden Core Realm powerhouses, in a domineering manner, now appeared indifferent.
Killing two Golden Core Realm experts was really not a big deal for him.
Not to mention that he had already begun cultivating the Great Sun Undying Golden Body and tempered twenty Imperishable Golden Bones.
After upgrading both Heaven and Earth Draw Saber Slash and Demon Slaying God-Killing Saber to the second level, his strength had undoubtedly undergone a qualitative change compared to when he first broke through to the Rune Seed Realm.
With a sigh, Lu Yun noticed a Sumi Ring flashing in the blood stain left on Mo Wuzong’s body.
He grabbed it, and the Sumi Ring turned into a beam of light, falling into his palm.
Mo Wuzong’s spiritual imprint remained on the Sumi Ring, and Lu Yun casually urged his Martial Arts Will.
After raising his Martial Arts Will to the third rank, it was easy for him to erase the spiritual imprint on it.
Most of the items inside were random and messy, making Lu Yun frown slightly.
His main target was pills, and it would be nice if there were other good items.
Unfortunately, after searching for quite a while, he only found two eighth-grade pills and tens of thousands of spirit crystals.
In his view, Mo Wuzong was the Saint Child of the top power in the region, the Red Moon Demon Sect. He should at least not be poor.
“The Saint Child of the Red Moon Demon Sect only has these things. It’s truly disappointing,” Lu Yun shook his head slightly, his face filled with inexpressible disappointment.
If Mo Wuzong were still alive, he would surely curse angrily.
Not to mention that he had consumed a lot of treasures to break through to the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm.
Just the Blood Spirit Ghostly Spear alone was a Treasure Artifact.
An eighth-grade pill was also an extremely precious existence.
Just then, Master Changshan approached, bowing slightly to Lu Yun, “Fortunately, Saint Child Lu Yun arrived in time, otherwise, I might have fallen into the hands of the remnants of the Red Moon Demon Sect.”
“It was a simple matter, don’t mention it.” Lu Yun put away his spoils of war and waved his hand.
Immediately afterward, his gaze swept over the crowd and asked indifferently, “Which of you is the Prefect of the Four Direction Prefecture?”
Because they had seen Lu Yun’s domineering killing of the two Golden Core Realm cultivators, everyone both admired and feared him, not daring to meet his gaze.
Gu Shunzhang stepped forward, took a deep breath, and said calmly, “I am Gu Shunzhang, appointed by the imperial court as the Prefect of the Four Direction Prefecture. However, due to internal and external threats, my title as Prefect is somewhat undeserved.”
His gaze fixed on Gu Shunzhang, Lu Yun spoke indifferently, “Don’t worry, we have come to eliminate the hidden dangers within the Four Direction Prefecture. Just go ahead and do your job.”
“Report all the specifics about the hidden dangers within the Four Direction Prefecture to me.”
“Alright, but since you all have traveled a long way and the Demon Suppression Army has arrived, please rest in the city for a while. Once I have all the information organized, I will report it to you in person.”
“Very well.”
Lu Yun nodded slightly and then entered Four Direction City with Gu Shunzhang and the others.
Four Direction City covered a wide area and had a large population, making it qualified to become a county capital.
However, due to the chaotic situation and the recent attack by Mo Wuzong and sect martial artists such as the Green Jade Sect, all doors in the city were closed, and few people could be seen on the streets.
Lu Yun wasn’t concerned about all this.
Everything would change once the Four Direction Prefecture was fully established.
After arranging excellent accommodations for Lu Yun, Bai ChangFeng, and the others, Gu Shunzhang immediately ordered his subordinates to gather information on the remaining power of the Red Moon Demon Sect and the sects within the Four Direction Prefecture.
Since his right-hand man, Uncle Liu, had fallen into the hands of the sect martial artists, his hatred towards the sects deepened, and he wished to capture all the sect forces within the area at once.
Now that such a powerful Demon Suppression Army was in place, clearing all the sect forces within the Four Direction Prefecture had naturally become his main task.
Gu Shunzhang’s work efficiency was high, and he soon presented all the details to Lu Yun.
According to the imperial court’s division, the Four Direction Prefecture currently included Four Direction City and a total of twelve cities, with a considerable distance between them, as well as more than ten sects of various sizes, including the Green Jade Sect and the Red Sun Sect.
Aside from the Green Jade Sect, Red Sun Sect, as well as a few other sects, the remaining sects had been completely disbanded.
In addition, there were many remnants of the Red Moon Demon Sect wandering within the Four Direction Prefecture.
The existence of sect forces and the remnants of the Red Moon Demon Sect had stalled the implementation of policies in the Four Direction Prefecture.
Moreover, the residents and martial artists in the city did not know whether they belonged to the jurisdiction of the county government or the sects.
Under these circumstances, it was impossible to establish the Four Direction Prefecture.
Gu Shunzhang’s intelligence report was very detailed, describing the situation of the sects and the remaining forces of the Red Moon Demon Sect within the Four Direction Prefecture and its surroundings. He also submitted the information to Lu Yun in the form of a document before leaving..
