Seeking Martial Dao in All Reborn Lives

Back when Zhao Xuanqi had first entered the Harmony realm, if Earth Elder hadn’t led the way, even he would likely have been unable to pass through the Fog.

The Eight Dragons Muddled Pearl Land, the hiding place of the Exotic Beast Jiang Wu.

At this very moment, a black-robed figure walked straight into the depths of the Illusion Barrier, using no navigational aids whatsoever. When he reached a place where the Fog was too thick to see through, he slowly raised his palm.

VMMMM!!

A glazed, jade-colored light suddenly surged from his body, making him appear like a Divine Demon.

The surrounding Illusion Barrier began to vibrate violently. It was as if the very world, enveloped by this jade-colored light, was trembling from the man’s power.

He raised his palm high above his head. Bathed in the lustrous, jade-like light, his entire hand became as translucent as fine jade.

SWOOSH!!

The next moment, his palm chopped down violently.

WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH!!

The Illusion Barrier before him was split in two by this Hand Blade. At a glance, it looked as if he had cleaved the very heavens and earth apart.

This path didn’t extend for tens or hundreds of meters, but for several kilometers, leading all the way into the Blessed Land itself.

The Illusion Barrier was utterly incapable of hindering him.

With a single step, his figure advanced as if using Shrinking Inches. Strangely, the Fog he parted only surged back to close the path after he had passed, restoring everything to how it was.

It was as if the world itself was making way for him, not daring to disturb his descent.

Soon, the man passed through the Fog and entered the Blessed Land.

SWOOSH!!

He had just stepped into the Blessed Land when a figure shot over from the distance at blinding speed, landing right in front of him.

It was the master of this land, the Exotic Beast Jiang Wu.

Seeing the black-robed man, Jiang Wu’s expression turned grim and wary. "Why is it you?!" he said, his voice low. "You should be in Shangjing. What are you doing here?"

"Elder Jiang, I need to borrow your home to meet a guest. Also, I’ll need you to deliver an invitation to the Martial Arts Association for me. My time is limited—I only have half a day."

"If no one shows up after half a day... well, it would be a real pity what happens to this Blessed Land."

The black-robed man said nonchalantly. He calmly pulled back his hood, revealing a face that everyone in the Divine Land knew.

Hearing the man’s words, Jiang Wu’s expression grew even uglier.

...

...

A large warehouse somewhere in Jinmen.

Dozens of figures were gathered inside the spacious warehouse.

Eleven people stood at the forefront.

These eleven were seated together, every one of them tall and powerfully built, with vigorous Qi and Blood and an extraordinary bearing. The look in their eyes was so intense it seemed as if sparks could fly through the empty air.

They were the masters from the various armies. Qi Hongxuan, Meng Dongtai, Bi Celestial Mansion, and the others were all present, discussing the situation in Jinmen.

"I don’t approve of this operation," Qi Hongxuan said, voicing his disapproval of the plan proposed by the newly arrived reinforcements. "My only goal is to protect the Phoenix Army’s current assets and interests in Jinmen. I have no desire to fight for control of the city."

’These newcomers want to take advantage of the fact that the armies have gathered so many masters in Jinmen, while the experts from the Martial Arts Association are exhausted and severely wounded after the battle. They’re trying to seize further control of the city.’

"This is a rare opportunity. The Martial Arts Association only has a few Harmony masters left, and Yang Xun and Li Ping of the National Salvation Association are severely wounded. The situation is unstable, and we aren’t trying to drive the Martial Arts Association out of Jinmen. But if we band together, we can at least secure more benefits."

A man with androgynous features and an effeminate air spoke up. His voice had a sharp, piercing quality, like a bird’s cry, that was slightly grating and left one feeling unsettled.

"The Martial Arts Association may not have many people, but they are all top-tier masters, and they have Zhao Xuanqi himself watching over things," Qi Hongxuan said with a frown. "His power has reached an unfathomable level. He killed the Neon Lord and two other masters who were helping him! That’s the reason the Neon People withdrew from Jinmen. Do you really think he’s so easy to deal with? One wrong move and we could lose more than we stand to gain. What’s more, we owe the Martial Arts Association for their help in this matter."

"Hahaha."

Just then, a laugh rang out, its vibrations echoing throughout the warehouse.

The laughter came from an incredibly tall man built like a mountain. His body was covered in a network of black lines that resembled cracks in parched earth, giving him an extremely ferocious appearance.

This was one of the Seven Fiends: Yu Qing, the "Earth Extremity" of the Giant Spirit Army.

"It seems you’ve all been scared witless by this man. Let’s not even get into the actual strength of those Neon masters, or whether he used some trick to win. Let’s just say he really is that powerful. Even so, after fighting one battle after another, he must have put his life on the line and exhausted everything he had to get that result last night. How could he possibly be uninjured?"

"With so many of us here, even a Military Commander would have to back down, let alone one man."

Yu Qing said, a faint smile on his face.

"Correct," Song Lan chimed in. "We’re only leveraging the situation to secure more benefits in Jinmen and force the Martial Arts Association to make some concessions. This isn’t a fight to the death. Given their current state, I doubt the Martial Arts Association would dare to fight us to the death anyway. As long as we make our intentions clear and show them our strength, they will yield."

"If you’re still worried, then Yu Qing and I will take the lead. You all can just provide support from the side. Of course, should we succeed, our two groups will take the lion’s share of the profits."

Song Lan proposed calmly.

"Well..."

Hearing this, Qi Hongxuan and the others frowned, though they seemed somewhat tempted.

’If it wasn’t a fight to the death, just forcing the Martial Arts Association to yield a bit... that might not be impossible.’

’And since Yu Qing and Song Lan were willing to spearhead this and take the fall if it went wrong, the risk to everyone else wouldn’t be too high.’

’Besides, any favor they owed had been more than repaid. After all, those people from the Martial Arts Association and the National Salvation Association had practically emptied their armies’ storehouses in Jinmen. The value of those rare resources was more than enough to cover the debt, so they were even.’

’But the moment they thought of Zhao Xuanqi, their expressions changed.’

’It was undeniable that this whole affair in Jinmen had left an indelible impression of Zhao Xuanqi on their minds.’

’Immensely powerful. Utterly unfathomable.’

’Not even some Military Commanders had made them feel this way. It completely extinguished any desire to provoke him.’

"And here I thought the famed Sixteen Generals of the Divine Land were something special. Are you all just a bunch of cowards? Do you have any idea what people are saying about you after this battle? I thought you’d just been careless and stumbled, but now I see the truth. I’m actually ashamed to share the same rank as you."

"After this whole Jinmen affair, you should probably just resign your titles as Sixteen Generals."

Yu Qing said, smirking at the others.

Qi Hongxuan, Meng Dongtai, and the others knew he was just trying to rile them up, but they also knew he had a point. If they didn’t make a move, not only would they be unable to face their Military Commanders after Jinmen, but their reputations would also be destroyed.

Even for Martial Artists who had reached the Harmony realm, how many could truly let go of fame and fortune?

’Maybe this plan was worth a try after all.’

Just as they were about to give their answer.

"You’d better think carefully before you answer."

Just then, a voice suddenly rang out from outside. A figure walked slowly through the main doors, his presence completely unnoticed by any of the Harmony masters until he appeared.

"Who’s there?!"

Yu Qing and Song Lan whipped their heads around, trying to see who had just arrived.

But Qi Hongxuan, Meng Dongtai, and the others shuddered the moment they heard the voice.

After everything that had happened in Jinmen, how could they possibly forget that voice?

All eyes turned to the main entrance. The man strolling leisurely through it was none other than Zhao Xuanqi.
