Chapter 151: Chapter 118: Demon Cave Gathering, Half a Year Later

Outside Jiangzhou City, on Daming Mountain.

The residence of the Broken Moon Sect.

As one of the Righteous Sects of Jiangnan Prefecture, the Broken Moon Sect had dispatched a large number of disciples to join the Jiangnan Prefecture Martial Arts Army, sending them to the front lines to fight the Daliang Alien Race.

As a result, the Sect had become much quieter. Most of those who remained were disciples in the Blood Forging Realm.

At that moment, Luo Tianhao, the Sect Leader of the Broken Moon Sect, was rubbing his temples in an ancient pavilion, a splitting headache written all over his face.

Across from him, a white-haired elder was studying a game of chess.

Seeing his distress, the elder advised, "Sect Leader, it would be best to make a decision about Elder Lu soon."

Previously, the Broken Moon Sect had appointed Lu Changfeng to the position of Honored Guest Elder.

Now, with the news of Lu Changfeng publicly joining the Saint Demon Sect, some had already begun to express their dissatisfaction with the Broken Moon Sect.

"Elder Lu... my dear Elder Lu, why did you suddenly join the Saint Demon Sect?" Luo Tianhao sighed, pressing a hand to his forehead.

Over the years, even when he was in seclusion, Lu Changfeng would visit the Broken Moon Sect a few times to give lectures.

With the help of Lu Changfeng’s extraordinary Sword Dao Talent, the Broken Moon Sword Manual had undergone significant improvement.

The cultivation speed of the Sect’s Blood Forging Realm disciples had increased considerably, which was equivalent to reinforcing the very foundation of the Broken Moon Sect.

For this, Luo Tianhao was still extremely grateful to Lu Changfeng.

"Forget it. I hereby announce that Lu Changfeng is stripped of his status as Honored Guest Elder!"

Luo Tianhao had finally made his decision.

The Taihong Association did the same. Their High Priest announced that they were severing all ties with Lu Changfeng.

The main association of martial arts halls on Five Horses Street also announced that the Changle Martial Arts Hall would be delisted, but Changle had already disbanded in Jiangzhou beforehand.

In short, everyone in Jiang City immediately turned Lu Changfeng into a cautionary tale.

Phoenix City, Yunyang Prefecture.

Zhao Xingtian, who was leading the disciples of the Xuanyuan Sword Sect within the Yunyang Martial Arts Army, also heard the news.

’What is that guy thinking, choosing to join the Saint Demon Sect?’

Zhao Xingtian knew Lu Changfeng. The man not only had terrifying Sword Dao Talent but was also a master strategist who never took a step he wasn’t sure of.

For Lu Changfeng to choose to join the Saint Demon Sect at this juncture, he must have extremely high hopes for them.

Recalling the recent rumors about the Saint Demon Sect’s Saint Master, Zhao Xingtian’s thoughts on the future of the Xuanyuan Sword Sect began to shift slightly.

What Zhao Xingtian could never have imagined was that Lu Changfeng was, in fact, the Saint Demon Sect Master himself...

...

The world descended into chaos.

The bombshell of Lu Changfeng joining the Saint Demon Sect caused a stir for a short while before things quickly quieted down.

The war between Jiangnan Prefecture and Daliang was still raging, and bigger news broke every day.

Casualties had begun to appear among those in the Rebirth Realm.

The first to die was a Supreme Elder from Jiangnan Prefecture’s Pure Yang Sect.

After stumbling into an encirclement and exhausting his Spiritual Power, he was blasted to death by an enemy Rebirth Realm expert.

Daliang also had Rebirth Realm experts who died in battle.

The hatred between Jiangnan Prefecture and Daliang grew ever deeper.

Jiangnan Prefecture’s Ten Great Sects and Eight Great Martial Arts Families all began to dispatch large numbers of their martial arts disciples to the battlefield.

Even Blood Forging Martial Artists could prove quite effective on the battlefield.

For instance, they could draw reinforced crossbows that ordinary people couldn’t. When hundreds of bolts from these crossbows were fired in a volley, even a Bone Forging Realm expert would have a hard time dealing with it.

As the war progressed, the Jiangnan Prefecture Martial Arts Army became more and more elite.

Fighting on their home turf, they more easily gained the support of the local populace.

Gradually, the martial arts army of Daliang Country began to achieve less and less success.

The various Martial Arts Powers throughout Song Country also watched the great war from the shadows, learning from it.

...

Half a year passed in the blink of an eye.

Snow fell thick and fast.

Outside Qin City, on a lake.

Lu Changfeng was on a pleasure boat with Hua Yiran and Chunzhu, enjoying the snowy scenery.

Snowflakes drifted down, blanketing the surroundings in white. The temperature was low, but since all three were Martial Artists, the cold naturally didn’t bother them.

In the past half-year, perhaps because their lives had been so happy and comfortable, the faces of both Chunzhu and Hua Yiran had become a little rounder.

As for Lu Changfeng, he had already reached Great Success in the Jade Bone stage.

The Inner Strength in his body began to temper his Jade Bones, pushing them toward the Copper Bone stage.

Having reached Great Success in the Jade Bone stage, Lu Changfeng’s base physical strength had increased by one thousand jin.

It didn’t seem like much, but when stacked with his Inner Strength, Martial Arts True Intent, and Demon Fiend Bloodline, this base number would change drastically.

Moreover, as Lu Changfeng’s Jade Bones evolved toward Copper Bones, his strength was increasing with every passing moment.

The Copper Bone Realm would add five thousand jin.

The Silver Bone Realm, ten thousand jin.

The Golden Bone Realm, twenty thousand jin.

And the Spirit Bone Realm, fifty thousand jin.

Right now, Lu Changfeng’s power was growing at a frenzied pace.

Lu Changfeng’s growth rate in the Bone Refining Realm far surpassed that of an ordinary person, thanks to the Secret Technique recorded in the Fengtian Saber Technique.

The Fengtian Bone Refining Heart Method.

This was an extremely rare Internal Cultivation Method for the Bone Refining Realm. Its cultivation requirements were also incredibly strict, demanding an exceptional Root Bone and the condensation of Fengtian Saber Intent.

As it happened, Lu Changfeng met both criteria, so cultivating it came naturally to him.

This was the advantage of having a legacy Cultivation Technique.

At every stage, the path of cultivation would naturally follow the clear road paved by one’s predecessors.

The end of the year was approaching, and the replication interface had refreshed four times during this period.

Lu Changfeng had used all four replications from the past half-year on Hua Yiran.

The first time, he replicated 0.5% of the Ancient Floral Fiend bloodline from Hua Youran for Hua Yiran.

The second time, he did the same, increasing the concentration of the Demon Fiend Bloodline in Hua Yiran’s body to 1%.

The third time, he raised the bloodline concentration in her body to 2%.

And on the most recent occasion, he increased her bloodline concentration to 4%.

The Ancient Floral Fiend... this Demon Fiend Bloodline was truly worthy of being the Hua Family’s ancestral inheritance.
