Dominating Martial King-Chapter 1285 - 461: Rebellion Banner

For example, Chu Xisheng not long ago in the Ten Thousand Demon Cave and the Grey Wolf Plain battlefield, he had already completed almost all of the All Heavens Secret Ceremony of the ’Heaven Slaying Blade’!

To what extent did he complete it?

If Chu Xisheng were to focus solely on the Heaven Slaying Blade, he would have no problem advancing to First Grade now. Even advancing to Super-grade in the future wouldn’t be impossible.

Any thought or movement he makes now receives a response from the Heavenly Annihilation Rule.

According to Chu Yunyun’s assessment, Chu Xisheng’s integration with the Heavenly Annihilation Rule is on par with the Su Feng Blade.

So now, his study of the Heavenly Punishment Martial Intent is progressing by leaps and bounds.

This Heavenly Rules and Laws are responding to him, embracing him.

The White Tiger Marquis clearly also wants Zuo Qingyun to emulate this path, refining his martial arts in battle, and compensating for Zuo Qingyun’s lacking All Heavens Secret Ceremony.

This fit well with Chu Xisheng’s intentions.

Lu Luanti’s side was in need of assistance, though the Water Sky Association was in disarray, it had large numbers. Those Protector Guests were outwardly compliant but secretly plotting.

A single Mad Sword Feng San was not enough to ensure foolproof protection.

Although Zuo Qingyun’s Upper Second Grade cultivation was somewhat watered down, his robust Cross Training Domineering Body was enough to bully the majority of the Third Grade.

Especially in battlefield scenarios and in narrow street cities, which were particularly suitable for Zuo Qingyun at present.

Moreover, there was the White Tiger Marquis with Fifth Grade Upper cultivation, enough to compensate for Zuo Qingyun’s weaknesses.

While Chu Xisheng let go of the two, he used the Supreme Blade Shu Huaishi’s eighty-percent Talent Card, which he had been reluctant to use, on Zuo Qingyun.

Any Super-grade Martial Cultivator is a person of extraordinary talent.

Shu Huaishi’s eighty-percent talent was enough for any martial cultivator to cultivate to Upper First Grade.

This was expected to enable Zuo Qingyun to quickly master his powers.

After bidding farewell to the two, Chu Xisheng returned to the Chu Mansion in West Mountain Town.

A day later, he led the members of the Iron Banner Gang to move to the headquarters of the Iron Banner Gang.

He moved the headquarters of the Iron Banner Gang back, which was the stone castle at the Eastern Dock of Xiushui County.

Two years ago, Iron Madman had constructed a large-scale hall here, along with many Disciple Residences, planning to make this the headquarters of the Iron Banner Gang.

Later, Tie Xiaosheng continued the effort, taking a year to finally complete this headquarters.

This place was much superior to the Chu Mansion.

The Tie brothers used solid materials, not only was the fort wall strong, but it was also equipped with a complete array inside, with defensive capabilities comparable to the county.

Unfortunately, they couldn’t enjoy it as they withdrew under the pressure of the military force from the Extreme East Ice City, dissolving into the populace.

It wasn’t until Chu Xisheng had a great battle with the ’Ice City Extreme Sword’ in Jiangnan County, forcing Ice City to deal with the culprits.

This not only greatly enhanced the prestige of the Iron Banner Gang but also allowed them to proudly move the headquarters back to its original location.

For more than a month thereafter, Chu Xisheng stayed here.

Though the matters were busy, with countless complications arising from the gang’s turmoil, everything went smoothly.

Internal Affairs Hall Master Lu Pingyuan, with the help of Iron Banner Hall Master Sikon Xin, rebuilt the gang members’ roster and archives.

Surprisingly, the list of gang members on this roster increased by over a thousand from before.

Yet no matter how Lu Pingyuan investigated and pursued leads, he couldn’t discern where these additional thousand-plus people came from—

The Iron Banner Gang also newly recruited 12,000 official gang members to fill the newly constructed three War Halls.

These gang members were of very high quality.

Aside from the few hundred Jianghu martial artists who came because of the fame and pledged loyalty to the Infinite Blade Lord, causing Lu Pingyuan extra headache, the rest were reliable recruits from the outer circle.

All of them had cultivation above the Ninth Grade, with a third reaching the Eighth Rank, with qualities almost on par with the border army.

It’s worth noting that at this time, the Iron Banner Gang controlled the only maritime trade route between You State and Jiangnan States.

Due to the main city of the Extreme East Ice City occupying the sky over the outer sea of Daning, the maritime route was almost severed, only sea ships flying the Iron Banner Gang’s flag could navigate the sea to reach You State, where they procured various secret medicines and spiritual treasures.

—They could even get a nine percent discount from the Formless Divine Sect.

So within just a month and a half, with two round trips of the Iron Banner Gang organized merchant fleet, they earned a fortune.

In just one transaction, they earned the gang as much as 3,000 portions of Eighth Rank secret medicine, and 10,000 portions of Ninth Grade secret medicine.

The military situation on Fei State’s side was also going smoothly.

After Lu Luanti took over command, the effect was almost immediate.

The six Protector Guests were greatly motivated, working together with unstoppable momentum, and had consecutively defeated the Water Sky Association in twenty-seven battles, slaying tens of thousands of Water Sky Association members, with no fewer than thirty Fourth Grade martial cultivators dead or wounded.

This surprised Tie Xiaosheng greatly.

The combat power of these Protector Guests was somewhat incomprehensible.

Whenever they wanted to win, they almost never lost. Even when the Water Sky Association Master with Lower First Grade cultivation personally acted, they were able to retreat unharmed. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

In short, due to the vigorous fighting of these Protector Guests, the Iron Banner Gang not only occupied the southern four counties of Fei State, but also advanced north along the river, heading towards the four county cities to the west of Fei State.

However, the current focus of the battlefield has shifted to the waters of the Shenxiu River.

Just half a month ago, Zhoou Liangchen unified 150,000 Iron Banner Gang navy to advance upstream west, winning several battles, forcing the Water Sky Association to continually retreat.

The Water Sky Association might be apprehensive of Chu Xisheng’s Divine Intent Touch Death Blade, constantly avoiding large-scale battles. At first, they split the navy into more than ten groups, attempting to conduct guerrilla warfare in the expansive Dongyang Lake, enticing the Iron Banner Gang to divide their forces.
