Time flew and 30 years had passed since the change on the Dragon Abyss Star.
That was an unprecedented event on the Dragon Abyss Star and all the living beings on it trembled in fear!
The change in the abyss first attracted many Earth Immortals before Heaven Immortals appeared.
In the end, even legendary Perfected Immortal experts descended while a golden divine dragon that was a hundred thousand feet long was provoked!
The battle in the starry skies shocked the living beings of the Dragon Abyss Star so much that they would never forget it.
This battle had a huge impact on the Dragon Abyss Star as well.
There were many Black Immortals who died in the abyss on the Dragon Abyss Star.
It was said that a commander of Dragon Abyss City died in the abyss.
Up till now, that abyss had always been a forbidden ground in Dragon Abyss City and no living being dared to step foot into it!
After the massive battle, the many Earth and Heaven Immortals had already dispersed.
However, many cultivators and living beings on Dragon Abyss City did not dare to act rashly still.
Be it the eight major factions or the Four Great Bandits, almost all of them chose to lie dormant, afraid that they would attract a calamity.
It was only after 30 years when there were no more Earth or Heaven Immortals that the Dragon Abyss Star gradually returned to normal.
Many fights and killings between cultivators reappeared and some factions were tempted to make moves as well.
In a mountain range, ancient trees stood lushly.
Under the shroud of the night, the forest shone with a faint green light. It was extremely terrifying and the air was filled with a murderous aura.
“Wind Flame, why are you looking for me?”
Suddenly, a voice sounded from above.
A figure stood on a branch at the top of the ancient tree, swaying with the branches as though he was stuck to it.
In the depths of the forest, a gigantic shadow gradually walked out—it was a Black Scale Fiend Wolf that was dozens of feet tall!
On the back of the Black Scale Fiend Wolf sat a cultivator—it was the First Boss of the Evil Wolf Army, Wind Flame!
“Cang Ya, have you forgotten that Blood Sun Valley was destroyed 40 years ago?”
Wind Flame asked.
Cang Ya was the Dao title of the Gang Leader of Goshawk Gang!
“Fufu,”
Cang Ya stood at the top of the ancient tree and chuckled. “All these years, you’ve been extremely close to Blood Sun Valley and worked with them. Our Goshawk Gang has nothing to do with Blood Sun Valley.”
Wind Flame said, “You’re right. However, don’t forget that you and I helped a lot back when Sky Pillar Stronghold, Wind Cloud Gang and Honor Villa were destroyed!”
“And now, the Territorial Lord of Snow Wind Ridge is a survivor of the three major factions back then!”
Cang Ya was silent.
Wind Flame continued, “Right now, after Snow Wind Ridge destroyed Blood Sun Valley and devoured it, its strength and reputation are rising continuously.”
“If Snow Wind Ridge truly grows stronger, do you think those survivors of the past will let us off?”
“Hmph!”
Cang Ya harrumphed coldly. “The reason why Snow Wind Ridge is so famous today is because of that Su Zimo who appeared out of nowhere.”
“Right now, Su Zimo has already died in that abyss for 30 years. What’s a mere Snow Wind Ridge worth?!”
Wind Flame said, “In my opinion, it’s better to get rid of Snow Wind Ridge as soon as possible lest they continue to grow into trouble. Furthermore, Snow Wind Ridge has accumulated countless cultivation resources in their territory after destroying Blood Sun Valley.”
“After destroying Snow Wind Ridge, we’ll split the cultivation resources evenly. It’ll be enough for our two armies to cultivate for many years and our strength will increase significantly.”
Another person walked out from the forest and said in a deep voice, “As long as our two armies join forces, we’ll definitely be able to flatten Snow Wind Ridge with ease!”
The person who spoke was the Second Boss of the Evil Wolf Army.
“Oh? You’ve already cultivated to the Level 8 Black Essence realm!”
Cang Ya swept his spirit consciousness across the Second Boss and was slightly surprised.
“Gang Leader Cang Ya, you sure are sharp,”
The Second Boss smiled gently. “Notwithstanding the fact that Su Zimo is already dead, even if he’s still alive, including your vice gang leader, the four of us Grade 8 Black Immortals can kill him together!”
Cang Ya pouted and said with conviction, “Even Earth Immortals and Heaven Immortals were not spared from that unforeseen event 30 years ago. As a Grade 6 Black Immortal, he must have definitely died in that abyss.”
“It’ll be strange if he’s still alive,”
Wind Flame asked, “In that case, are you agreed, Brother Cang Ya?”
Cang Ya pondered for a moment before nodding. “No problem. In 10 days, our two armies will gather and flatten Snow Wind Ridge!”
“Alright!”
Wind Flame burst into laughter.
…
Snow Wind Ridge.
For cultivators of the upper world, 30 years passed in the blink of an eye.
Over the years, although the number of people in Snow Wind Ridge increased continuously and their strength increased steadily, the cultivation realms of everyone in Snow Wind Ridge did not change significantly.
The Territorial Lord of Snow Wind Ridge, Yue Hao, was still only a Grade 7 Black Immortal.
The greatest change was that Yue Hao and Xia Qingying were already married and became Dao companions.
After destroying Blood Sun Valley 40 years ago, the two of them were already in love and had feelings for one another. It was only natural that they were Dao companions now.
Outside the hall, the wind and snow howled.
Yue Hao had a calm expression as he stood at the entrance, looking at the snow outside in silence with a hint of worry.
Light footsteps sounded behind him.
“Husband, what are you worried about?”
Xia Qingying could tell that Yue Hao was troubled and came to his side, asking gently.
Yue Hao turned around and smiled at Xia Qingying without saying anything.
“Are you worried about Fellow Daoist Su?”
Xia Qingying asked again before sighing. “Sigh, there’s no news of Fellow Daoist Su for so many years. He’s probably doomed.”
“Brother Su is my benefactor. Back then, I was the one who did not stop him and allowed him to take the risk alone,”
Yue Hao lowered his head slightly in self-blame.
“It’s not your fault. Given Fellow Daoist Su’s character and methods, if he wants to go, who can stop him?” Xia Qingying consoled.
Yue Hao said, “Over the years, although Snow Wind Ridge has been developing steadily and its strength has been increasing continuously, there has always been a huge latent danger.”
“The reason why Snow Wind Ridge was able to gain a foothold on the Dragon Abyss Star after destroying Blood Sun Valley without anyone challenging us for the past ten years was entirely because of Brother Su’s notorious reputation.”
“But now that Brother Su’s fate is unknown and Snow Wind Ridge lacks a top-tier expert like a Grade 8 Black Immortal, I’m afraid trouble is about to descend.”
Xia Qingying smiled. “Snow Wind Ridge has you. Cultivate diligently and try to break through to the Level 8 Black Essence realm as soon as possible.”
Yue Hao shook his head. “Given my current cultivation, I’ll need at least a thousand years to reach Grade 8 Black Immortal even if I have sufficient resources…”
“I’m worried that Snow Wind Ridge won’t be able to last till then.”
“How can that be?”
Xia Qingying smiled. “We’ve just been rebuilt for dozens of years and don’t have any deep feud with the major factions. I believe they won’t attack Snow Wind Ridge for no reason either.”
Yue Hao looked into the distance and said softly, “I’m not worried about the major factions, but the two bandit groups…”
