RETURN OF THE RULER

135. The appearance of black clouds.

As Ilena was busy awakening all of her elements and would absorb the energy in each formation ball, Yang Xuan thought that he would raise a demon sword that was at the sky level to the heavenly level.

Yang Xuan had already forged many different types of weapons to the divine level, he had also upgraded thousands of sky-level weapons to sell at the auction house belonging to the temple in the jiang empire.

Actually Yang Xuan upgraded all the weapons he had taken from various places as he was about to travel towards the southern region. He had also forged many weapons to get used to it so that there was no mistake when forging a heavenly level weapon. As a God forging in his first life naturally Yang Xuan would receive the lightning forging tribulation for the first time. So before that happens, of course, he must also need careful preparation.

Yang Xuan took out a vessel from her storage ring then looked for a safe place to keep Ilena from being disturbed. While Ilena had just finished absorbing the energy inside one ball of solar formation took even a week. The energy within the three sun formation spheres would require at least a month for Ilena to absorb.

A failed plan.

In the area of the Temple of thunder precisely in the villages and small towns looks happiness on the faces of the residents, the region looks more alive than ever. The area of the halilintar temple now has five small towns and dozens of villages under the protection of the thunderbolt temple. The extinction of the east wind sect and the city of shenzhen as well as the dozens of sects around the region made the area around the thunderbolt temple look deserted and there was no tight guard.

The thunder forest the forbidden place of the east wind sect had previously been the site of the establishment of the thunderbolt temple, Yang Xuan chose the location of the temple in the region so that the temple party could easily reach several villages and small towns in case of an attack. The destruction of the Cao clan was in fact so influential to Cao Ming that he could not develop the region to the fullest. Among the dozens of temples the development of the thunderbolt temple belonged to the slow category, it was just that Yang Xuan had never bothered with it. The destruction of the city of shenzhen was very influential for the region.

After long observing the region several black-robed men came out from hiding, they even casually walked towards the wind valley city which was the nearest city from their hideout to search for information.

After arriving at the gate of the wind valley city it turned out that they could not escape easily. However, after paying with dozens of gold coins the black-robed man was finally let in.

After entering the wind valley city they entered a simple tavern.

"Welcome to the east valley store, sir. Please sit down." a servant politely directed his guest to sit down. But his feelings were already uneasy near his guest, cold sweat dripping from his forehead. He immediately hurriedly asked to dispel his nervousness.

"We want wine and the best food." one of them spoke politely while putting down dozens of gold coins.

"Is it enough." the old man asked politely after putting a gold coin on the table. They seemed to be very careful to carry out his plan.

"Quite sir, even this is too much" the servant replied politely as he returned some gold coins.

"Take it Miss, serve wine to the guests who visit this donkey." The other old man spoke politely while smiling kindly.

"Thank you, sir," the waiter replied and hurried to the kitchen to prepare his guest's order.

As the group of black-robed men were engrossed in eating the dishes they ordered, Cao Ming suddenly appeared with the three elite disciples of the thunderbolt temple. Although the area of the temple is quiet, in fact the news of the emergence of foreign guests is not difficult to detect the temple, in fact, the distance between the temple of lightning with the city of the wind valley is quite far.

"Brother Wo, it turns out it's you" Cao Ming said as he looked at the foreign guest.

Cao Ming looked carefully at the black-robed men, although he knew one of them usually the guest immediately gave him a visit to the area of the temple of thunderbolt.

"Brother Ming, you are indeed extraordinary, no wonder people praised the loyalty of the chiefs of the temples in this region. We have even just arrived in this region but you already know about it." replied the demon field sect master.

"Brother Wo, what need do you need to suddenly visit my territory?"

Cao Ming said very carefully, the strength of those foreign guests is even several levels above him.if only the head of the demon sword sect is sure he is still capable of killing him. However, some old men came along with the demon sword chief so he became wary.

Cao Ming sent a message to the tens of thousands of thunder temple elders because he felt that something was wrong, he did not want anything bad to happen. Although he had known the head of the demon sword sect since young, in fact he had remained vigilant as it was not unusual for him to see a group of demon sword sects suddenly appear in the region and bring in dozens of high-level cultivators.

The demonic sword sect elder smiled when he saw Cao Ming's vigilance, he allowed Cao Ming to sit down while ordering wine.

"Brother Ming, you're too shy. I never intended evil to come to this region, you know for yourself no, even we have been friends since we were young." said the demon sword chief politely.

"Thank you, brother Wo. You are indeed a good friend." Cao Ming retorted no more.

They continued to talk in the tavern until midnight, when going home to the temple, Cao Ming already felt his body very heavy, suddenly he spewed a mouthful of fresh blood from his mouth. The head of the demon sword sect suddenly rose from his sitting position then helped Cao Ming.

"Brother Ming, what happened." the head of the demon sword sect looked panicked and had Cao Ming's subordinates bring him to the lightning bolt.

Some of the Yang people happened to feel that Cao Ming rushed to bring their chief and sent a message back to the entire temple to prepare to greet them halfway because they felt that something was wrong, especially after their chief spewed out fresh blood. From the beginning they disagreed with Cao Ming for letting strangers roam their place.

The group of demon sword sect head followed Cao Ming's army very carefully until it arrived at a hill. While passing through the hill, the head of the demon sword sect directly attacked the people carrying Cao Ming, the group easily crippled Cao Ming's subordinates.

But when they launched the action thousands of temple groups suddenly emerged from the top of the hill to surprise them.

A raid?!

******

The white desert city was previously a black desert city that Xuan Li had taken over with the zhang hua kingdom. The city looked luxurious after they had cleared it. The leader of every city in the north was the king of the city and had palaces in every city.

An information gatherer entered the meeting hall of the white desert city palace casually.

"Great grandfather and the elders all, apologize if I am too presumptuous to disturb this precious meeting." bowing respectfully.

"Hu'er, what information do you want to convey so you rush back from the northern sea city area?" Xuan Li spoke while raising an eyebrow. The head of the information gathering group of the entire temple was still a descendant of Xuan Li.

"Great grandfather, when our group left the black mountains to search for the location of the demon controller, we accidentally found a large sect of black streams there. Our group spied on him for some time and we accidentally saw their ship sailing east. We still had time to follow him but we lost track as we did not dare to enter the ancient desert. We believe they will head for the Hou clan because the fishermen also said so." Xuan Hulian revealed the information they had gathered.

"Chairman, this we need to investigate, the northern sea city is a city that is very rich in resources, however, until now the city has not been included in the category of large cities. From the beginning I had been convinced that in that area it was not only the demon controllers that existed and it was evident that a large sect of black streams also existed around the black mountain." said an elder.

Xuan Li was still calmly sitting in his chair, actually he wanted to take action to investigate the mysterious forest as the source of the matter continued to center from there. Only, the area was too frightening. The northern sea city was also not part of his territory, but the temple party had already overspent so much that he would help Xuan Liang settle the matter.

After all, the temple group was too busy just to find stealth controllers, how could it be that the group would enter the ancient desert to the mysterious forest. Although the black mountain and the northern sea city were not included in its territory, it would also disturb the development of the entire region of the bow desert if the problems in that place were not immediately resolved. As for the territory it was part of Xuan Liang or the territory of the sun city.

It was just that Xuan Li was astonished that the remaining group raids such as the Hou clan, the demon blood clan, the demon sword sect and the black sea sect were too suspicious that he thought the matter needed to be investigated.

"Hu'er, give my regards to your uncle in the city of the Sun and other cities, we will go to the northern sea city to ask for an explanation from the black sea sect. We will hear what the reason they are heading towards the eastern part of the region is. So tell the elders of each city to prepare an army in the northern sea city." Xuan Li ordered.

"Good great grandfather."

Hearing Xuan Li's reply, Xuan Hulian immediately walked out of the meeting hall, he was overjoyed when Xuan Li responded to his report. He had also taken into account the losses of the temple side over the past few months in the region. He called his men to deliver a message to every city king throughout the bow desert.

"Liang'er, has already messaged me several times since he is desperate to take control of the northern sea city, only, his strength is so weak that he does not dare to invade the territory." Xuan Li sighed heavily. In reality his grandson Xuan Liang or the head of the sun hill temple had not been able to control half the region of the bow wasteland. Xuan Liang's strength was still at the Five-star earth level and it wasn't enough to rule over half the region of the bow wasteland.

"Did Young Master Yang never visit the region?" an elder asked Xuan Li because they did not know where Yang Xuan was.

"Chairman, we can't expect Yang'er to always be in the front row, even now we don't know where he is. If we can't solve a problem like this, I'm sure Yang'er will be disappointed in us." Xuan Li said firmly.

"Right is what the chairman said. Although Young Master took over this territory, it does not mean this territory for him but for all of us, even so far we have never given him a gift. If we can't just fix this territory, do we still dare to show our faces before, Young Master." said the other elder chimed in.

Xuan Li stood up from his seat with dozens of elders following him from behind. They would set off for the sun city with hundreds of temple elders from various cities.

After waiting for the last few hours the alliance continued to emerge. They were low-level elders to high-limb elders. Xuan Li's group flew towards the sun city.

Seeing that the citizens who already knew the temple were astonished who was making chaos again in the region so that the temple alliances suddenly gathered. They already know that the temple only likes peace so they know the temple group continues to spread goodness to the countryside, but if the temple group is angry then disaster will come.

Of course it did not escape the eyes of the cultivators, they immediately gathered to provide assistance because they would get paid a lot.

Sun City

The city of bow that froze before had already turned into a city of sun and was already inhabited by thousands of citizens. Xuan Liang gathered the remote villages and moved the city to the sun to make it look more alive. It has only been a few weeks but the city is crowded.

Xuan Liang had already gotten a message from his grandfather Xuan Li for them to head towards the northern sea city, naturally it made him very happy, because even though the sun city was the most barren city in the region of the bow desert. He should be able to provide protection to his entire territory in order to collect gold coins, if only collecting taxes he was unsure of being able to develop the city.

Upon seeing Xuan Li have arrived, Xuan Liang immediately greeted him as the temple party that had come was directly led by his grandfather.

"Grandfather, welcome to my palace.this is truly a happy day for the city of sun after we finish" Xuan Liang greeted with dozens of elders.

"Have you put together an alliance of temples of the sun city area for this invasion. We better destroy the sect, so that the demon group doesn't dare to do anything because I'm sure the demon group must know the attack we do if their residence around the black mountain." xuan Li said after seeing thousands from Xuan Liang's group gather.

He thought before Yang Xuan visited the area there was no harm in them attacking the black sea sect in order for the silhouette control group not to make a random mess. They all looked up at the sky as they felt awkward with the black clouds suddenly gathering and issuing streams of electricity.

As they gathered in the courtyard of the sun city palace to discuss the assault strategy, a great tremor suddenly occurred making them shocked. The residents of the sun city panicked and tried to save themselves, in the entire area of the city the black sun cloud slowly gathered and continued to expand until the entire eastern region and the clear sky suddenly darkened.

Of course the temple officials who saw the phenomenon became vigilant, the omen of the black cloud appeared there were only two possibilities. Someone received a lightning tribulation stau someone summoned lightning to use a high-level skill.

BOMM!!

BOOM!!
