Stronger by Killing

Chapter 337 - 269: Another Storm Rises in Great Desert City (3)

Your cultivation talent is very strong, any martial arts or divine technique can be easily cultivated in your hands. This is an unparalleled talent. If you could learn more divine techniques, under the Grotto Heaven Realm, you would absolutely be invincible."

Gu Zhan nodded,

He naturally knew his own shortcomings,

Given the chance, he certainly wouldn’t mind cultivating a few more Water Manipulation Skills. After all, it’s just a matter of killing a few more people,

Unfortunately, the foundation of the Beidou Bang is still too weak. He could only hope to borrow from other sects in the future through friendly relations.

...

The turmoil after the righteous and demonic battle quickly spread throughout Yunzhou. During the time Gu Zhan and the others rushed back from Bright Moon Gorge to Great Desert City, it was already known across Yunzhou.

Dragon King Mo Jingzhou, after being dormant for more than ten years, once again appeared in the public eye with an invincible kingly posture.

Although many people knew this was Mo Jingzhou’s final battle,

it did not hinder the grandeur of his battle,

After obtaining the Beidou Bang’s approval, all major wind media in Yunzhou released a new edition of the Grandmaster List that hadn’t changed in many years in a very short time.

The battle of Bright Moon Gorge,

Dragon King Mo Jingzhou ascended to the top of the Grandmaster List,

becoming the universally recognized first grandmaster in Yunzhou, also known as Yunzhou’s top expert.

At the same time,

the various battle situations that appeared in the Bright Moon Gorge battle were also revealed to Yunzhou under the rendering of the Jianghu wind media.

This battle brought many who had been in seclusion for years back into the public eye and allowed many who were not very famous to suddenly gain fame in the martial world,

However,

besides Mo Jingzhou,

In the battle of Bright Moon Gorge, the name that spread the most belonged to the Beidou Bang’s Palm Seal - God of Slaughter Gu Zhan.

This battle,

The name God of Slaughter was universally acknowledged throughout the Jianghu,

And Gu Zhan’s name directly leaped out of the younger generation’s title.

With various wind media vying to report,

Gu Zhan’s achievements stirred up a huge storm in Yunzhou.

The battle of Bright Moon Gorge,

One man bore half of the Righteous Dao Martial World’s battle achievements,

One man beheaded nine grandmasters, one of whom was Tian Ze, the number one prodigy of the Demon Dao, plus Tian Ze’s mount that equaled a grandmaster, making it ten grandmasters, and two supreme grandmasters,

And in Great Desert City, consecutively beheaded Grandmasters Liu Zuifeng, Xiao Xiangzi, and Grandmaster Ghost Fang, which means that in this righteous and demonic battle, Gu Zhan killed twelve grandmasters, three supreme grandmasters, and countless great cultivators. This achievement, not even many supreme grandmasters have achieved,

One man overwhelmed the entire Demon Dao, who dared not respond,

The might of the God of Slaughter, shocking the world!

However, for Gu Zhan, it didn’t leave much impression. On the way back, he stayed within the Beidou Bang’s ranks, and after returning to Great Desert City to meet with the stationed disciples of the Beidou Bang, he also stayed in residence, only occasionally meeting Mo Jingzhou and Xiao Chen, and rarely appearing in public.

As for the disciples within the Beidou Bang, they were already very respectful to Gu Zhan, and faced with Gu Zhan who returned with supreme prestige, they could only continue as always.

However, those disciples of the Beidou Bang did become quite prominent; during this time in Great Desert City, they walked as though with the wind, and the various sects of the martial world were more respectful, and even when facing the other four top powers, Beidou Bang disciples could hold their heads high with pride.

Mo Jingzhou’s final battle was called a swan song by the public, and Gu Zhan’s battle at Bright Moon Gorge was unparalleled through two generations. With these two present, the Beidou Bang’s glory was unmatched for a time.

Beidou Bang’s temporary headquarters.

Gu Zhan, Mo Jingzhou, and Xiao Chen sat together chatting, mainly Gu Zhan and Mo Jingzhou talking, while Xiao Chen listened with expressive gestures on the side.

"The negotiations between Sword King City and the Astronomical Bureau should be almost done." Mo Jingzhou poured a cup of tea for Gu Zhan and said, "Our various factions staying in Great Desert City has not placed little pressure on the court. The autonomy of the Cyan Gorge Covenant will be yielded."

Gu Zhan slightly nodded and said, "How is the situation in Yundong?"

Mo Jingzhou replied, "After Marquis Liu was seriously injured, Marquis Chengyang took full command, repeatedly defeating the White Lotus Sect several times, but it did not change the overall battle situation. Yundong and the White Lotus Sect are still in a deadlock, but nowadays the court is constrained everywhere and cannot provide much support. The outcome of this battle is hard to say."

Gu Zhan furrowed his brows and asked, "If the White Lotus Sect wins, what about Yunxi?"

"It doesn’t matter," Mo Jingzhou said, "Whether the White Lotus Sect or the court wins, they won’t rashly act against Yunxi. They will opt for appeasement, and Yunxi’s autonomy will not be affected."

After saying that, Mo Jingzhou suddenly opened his mouth and said, "By the way, a message recently came from Yundong about Qi Baiyu."

Gu Zhan narrowed his eyes slightly,

He knew that a battle with Qi Baiyu was destined,

Although he now had confidence in dealing with Qi Baiyu, a lion fighting a rabbit still uses full strength, moreover someone like Qi Baiyu, a monstrous genius, he would not underestimate someone like Qi Baiyu.

"What news?" Gu Zhan asked.

"Qi Baiyu got married?" Mo Jingzhou said.

Gu Zhan was stunned,

Qi Baiyu is a Sword Fool,

A madman obsessed with the Sword Dao actually got married,

He couldn’t imagine what kind of woman could catch Qi Baiyu’s eye.

"Are you surprised?" Mo Jingzhou chuckled.

Gu Zhan nodded.

Mo Jingzhou smiled and said, "I was quite surprised when I received the news too. This matter is not a small one in the martial world, but due to the widespread attention on the righteous and demonic battle recently, it didn’t cause much of a stir.
