Martial Research Master

“How could you three be this powerful?” The vice-leader blurted with a grim expression. Each of the figures was equivalent to a 9th layer Qi King. His situation was getting worse by the second. He was almost out of Qi. If this went on, the backup wouldn’t be able to reach here in time.

“Still hoping the people you just contacted would come to rescue you?” Li meng couldn’t help but smile. Each of the three figures suddenly used the full force of their law energy. When the law materialized, the vice-leader following them by scared silly.

“Heavenly laws!! The two of you are heavenly law users.” A shaking voice was heard.

“Great guess. Too bad you didn’t realise this earlier.” Li Meng used. Two incredible beams of light hit the vice leader’s body, blasting it to the wall behind. His figure penetrated through the wall and stayed there, unable to move. Blood could be seen flowing out of every crevice, and a sharp decline in the aura was felt by the group.

“Take him to the cave and interrogate. Make him spill the whole plan of the Mad-lions. Although he wouldn’t be knowing all of it, we would be able to get a general idea.”

Xuan Luo was shaken awake from the shock he had just received. The attack back there would have been enough to inflict serious injury on him, and the two figures were not even sweating. This mysterious group from Thunder-academy was too scary.

“Why did you insist on dealing with him here?” After picking the vice-leader, the four figures were on their way to the cave. Xuan Luo couldn’t help but ask the reason behind the decision.

“The talisman he sent back there was not only a message but also enabled the receiver to learn the location from which it was sent. The cave and the area nearby is way far from this place, and hence would remain away from the suspicious spot.”

.....

“Why would they try to investigate this case anyway?”

“The Mad-lions are trying to form a coalition to take over the city forces. Their success would result in them becoming the hegemonic force of the eastern borders. I couldn’t allow them to control the situation completely, and hence managed to suggest a change in arrangement.”

“My idea managed to gain the support of all other groups and hence has incurred a great loss on the Mad-lion’s plans. They sent him to investigate our group and eliminate me.”

“The Talisman would convey the message that a whole group of Qi King ambushed him, which would lead them to believe that our base must have been somewhere nearby the area, for us to be able to dispatch so much force. They would be kept busy due to the matters of the coalition and the search.”

“Try to find out as much information as you can from the vice-leader. I need to know every single detail regarding the whole power structure of the organisation. We need to plan accordingly. You need to return to secluded cultivation and increase your power. One of the other members of our group is also going to break through soon, and he will be assisting you in future.”

“You will be leaving?” Xuan Luo was surprised.

“I need to leave within another week. Meanwhile, you need to prepare for the future. It would be better if you could have another breakthrough before I leave the mountain. We need to consolidate our power before the situation goes haywire. You also need to prepare a backup plan for unforeseen circumstances.”

“I need to have two more breakthroughs and reach the peak of Qi King if I want to completely dominate the situation. Only then could I have the confidence to confront Qi Emperors.” Xuan Luo was serious.

“This is going to be a force which belongs to you and me. It needs to grow strong enough to completely control the Taiwan mountains. Although that not going to be easy or happening in near future, we do need to prepare. Neither of us will be staying here after breaking into the Qi Emperor level.”

“You’re going to take part in the Royal road too?” Xuan Luo asked.

“Why wouldn’t I? I need to grow strong and dominate everything. I also need you to grow strong and try to claim the heritage here before me. The outskirts already have the inheritance of a QI monarch. I hope to see even more mysterious and powerful possessions in the middle region. But those parts are dominated by sects and filled with emperors.”

“We need to increase our strength as far as possible before and during the royal road. Only by becoming a Qi Monarch could we have a chance to take complete control of the region. Meanwhile, plant seeds for the future needs.”

Xuan Luo nodded.

The two figures soon became busy planning and conspiring against the Mad-lions. Soon enough spies were sent to other forces. The best way to take down a tree is by devouring it from the roots.

...........................

Mad-lions-

“The reply from all the leaders were received. They have agreed to participate in the coalition and appoint the Mad-lions as the leader. I have planned to host the ceremony three days from now.” Lion ti, the strongest vice-leader spoke up.

“What about Mingde? Did you manage to locate their base?”

“We didn’t. Although we suspect that the group is situated somewhere in the region near which the message talisman was discovered, the area is just too big. Even the reply from their leader arrived out of nowhere at our doorstep.”

“We need to find them fast. The situation has advanced too deep to change now. If the vice-leader spill the beans on all our preparation, we might some great hurdles while establishing the coalition. ”

“What could a lowly vice-leader like him do? The information available to him is not too big to bring harm to us. We need to focus on the coalition.” The Qi Emperor spoke in a casual tone.

“The guy who interfered last time is no simple man. He could devise a lot of our plan from the slightest of clues, which the vice-leader is more than capable enough to provide.”

“The situation can’t be changed now. We could only proceed with the plan.”

“What if they try to make an exchange?” Lion Ti spoke.

“Use bait to draw the rat out of his hole. We will eliminate them after that.” The Qi Emperor said with a grim tone.

“What about the third brother?”

“The third brother said that he will be returned within the month-end. He is confident enough to break through the QI Emperor rank by then. He wants us to protect him while he does that.”

:” That goes without saying. Just ask him to be patient. We are more than capable enough to control the situation for a long time. There wouldn’t be any sudden movement from the shadows during the first month. Unless of course, they manage to plan real good.”

The Mad-lions started to rush the situation. They wanted the coalition formed as soon as possible.

...................................................

Pill valley-

“Are you sure about the situation?” Ti Shen just got a shocking piece of news.

“He insists that he will be breaking through the Qi King level in 3 days.

“It is only the second month since he went to seclusion. He has enough time to build his foundation. He shouldn’t rush things.” Ti Shen was insistent on having Lu Ming stay within the Qi general realm for some more time.

“He said that he is more than confident of breaking through the Qi King level.”

“DOesn’t he wants to connect with multiple Heavenly laws?” This was the reason behind Ti Shen’s concern. He knew that Lu Ming can easily break through the Qi King level and connect with a Heavenly Law. What he wanted was for his disciple to connect with multiple Heavenly laws. He would be more than happy if he could connect with more laws than him.

What sort of a genius would someone who manages to connect with three Heavenly laws be like. He recently got a piece of news about someone managing to achieve the feat in the Thunder Academy and nether palace.

“He says that he will connect with 3 Heavenly laws at the very least.” Ti Shen’s eyes bulged out on hearing this. Lu Ming was confident of connecting to 3 Heavenly laws. Even their valley founder wouldn’t speak with such confidence.

“It’s his path. Let him do what he desires. Prepare all the resources according to his requirements. Tell him to come to me after 3 days for proceeding with the breakthrough.”

....................................

Crimson Lord world-

“Are you sure about trying to connect with four Heavenly laws? It isn’t that simple boy. Three Heavenly laws almost made you half-dead last time. Just how are you planning to do this?” The Keeper understood the reason behind Long Tao’s ambition, but this was just too much.

“I have a plan charted out which could help me reach that level.”

“Your soul wouldn’t be enough.” The Keeper spoke frankly. The only Heaven-defying thing that all the avatars had in common was the Grandmaster level soul.

“I am thinking about activating the body laws during my connection to the four Heavenly laws. I already have law bases that would be directly activated as soon as I begin my breakthrough. I could use it to propel my body for the event.”

“Why are you in such a rush?” The Keeper asked.

“The barrier to achieving Chaos law is no small matter. It is only now that I understand how powerful it is. I fear that continuing at the same pace wouldn’t enable me to connect with a Chaos law.
