Apart from that, the Nine Armies looked like one big force on the outside but there was certainly some personal agenda among each fortress. If they were to really start a battle, members of certain fortresses would not give their all as they were afraid that many of their people would die.
Hence, those who wanted to stay alive had to try their best in increasing their fighting prowess and raise everybody's combat power. In that case, they would be able to react to sudden situations.
It had to be mentioned that the martial art technique Fane obtained this time was an exceptionally good one. Even when he was not training during the daytime, the swirl in his body could continue rotating. This helped him to proactively absorb the Chi from the atmosphere which in turn slowly increase and stabilize his fighting prowess. If he sat down to train at night according to the martial art technique, the effect would definitely be better.
'According to the current situation, my level would completely stabilize after two more days. By then, I can try refining the third-grade intermediate pill and I will not need to be afraid of the usual masters at the ultimate god-level.' Fane secretly thought about it and was slightly expectant toward it. If he could not increase his strength speedily, he would not be able to fight back when he comes face to face with true masters.
However, two badly wounded disciples from the Bloodshed Clan returned to their pavilion in an extremely embarrassed manner. "Elder, elder! Something bad has happened!" Both disciples directly rushed into the room of the Bloodshed Clan’s First Elder and started yelling loudly.
The First Elder was getting ready to rest. He asked impatiently when he saw the two disciples. "What's going on with the two of you? Don't you guys possess quite a high fighting prowess? How can you guys get hurt when both of you are in the first-stage ultimate god-level? Did you guys meet some strong monster beasts while searching for treasures in the forest?"
One of them said, "There were too many of them and several of them are in the first-stage ultimate god-level and peak stage of the true god-level. Two out of our four people died and we escaped with much difficulty."
The First Elder frowned and said, "Who are they? Could they be members of the Nine Armies? D*mn it! The members of the Nine Armies dare take action against us? This doesn't sound right. Even members of the Nine Armies would not act so shamelessly? How would so many of them surround and attack the four of you guys? How many people were there?!”
"There were several thousands of them and they mentioned that they were members of the Hall of Divine Royal. We realized later on that these people were not members of the Nine Armies, they are people from the abandoned world!” Another man had an excited expression on his face. "During our journey back, we met members from some other families. We secretly listened to their conversation and it turns out, quite a number of forces came in with them. There were a total of 400 to 500 thousand people!"
“Oh my god, are these all true? This is a huge issue and you guys cannot lie. If I find out that any of you are lying to us, the same day next year would be the anniversary of your death!" The First Elder of the Bloodshed Clan stood up from his chair in excitement after he heard this. He could not believe what he had just heard.
"It's true, First Elder. Look at the embarrassing state we are in, do we look like we need to lie to you? Elder, you should have a discussion with the pavilion master about this as this is a really important matter!" Both disciples looked at the First Elder anxiously as they were afraid that the First Elder would not believe them.
