The Prophet and Ilia Danvers’ people did not make any waves.
Even the Lu family had no idea that Hu Rose, in just a single day, had managed to eliminate two once-mighty figures.
But with each passing generation, new talents rise, often accompanied by the fall of their predecessors.
After disposing of the bodies, Hu Rose turned and walked into the secret chamber behind the main hall.
There lay the White Lotus, along with a group of people trapped in coffins.
"To survive madness is to live. My Lu family will eventually break through this comfort and beco the ruler of the southeast, and even the world!"
He walked to the White Lotus and slowly knelt down.
The aura of the White Lotus comforted him.
As long as the White Lotus was there, Hu Rose would be safe for now.
And the assassins of the Lu family could also remain stable for the ti being.
As for the future?
Who knows what the future holds?
But he felt sothing was amiss. The White Lotus, usually warm and comforting, now felt sowhat cold.
Perhaps it was the intense killing intent just now?
Hu Rose didn’t care. He was in a very good mood, having dealt with the cult mbers and Ilia Danvers, leaving the Lu family unbound.
The future of the Lu family, how far they could go, and how high they could rise, all depended on their actions from now on.
"In chaotic tis, only heroes stand out."
Hu Rose clasped his hands together, murmuring, "May the ancestors of the Lu family bless , Hu Rose, to beco the hero of the Lu family!"
The White Lotus erodes the mind, driving one insane and violent!
A drastic change in temperant!
Especially after Julius Reed severed the White Lotus’s connection with those people, without its soothing presence, Hu Rose’s Heart Demon was no longer suppressed, making his mood swings erratic.
Sotis, he couldn’t even control his emotions.
He stood up, took a deep breath, and even though he sensed an unnatural force within him, he wasn’t overly concerned.
As a Martial Artist, spiritual power often surged within, and most anomalies would soon dissipate.
Leaving the underground palace, Hu Rose convened a family eting, relocating Lu family mbers into mansions previously belonging to other great families, seizing their nests.
The entire martial arts world was indeed shaken, but no concrete action was taken.
Apart from verbal condemnations, no force truly stood up to challenge the Lu family.
Idle talk wasn’t sothing Hu Rose cared about.
He had already comprehended the supre tos within the Yellow Lotus Shadow, which was why he agreed to Ilia Danvers’ plan to use the Yellow Lotus Shadow as bait.
Not only Silvio Reed wanted chaos in the world; after comprehending the truths within the Yellow Lotus Shadow, Hu Rose felt he too was qualified to vie for world dominance.
To intimidate the martial arts community, Hu Rose even issued a hero’s challenge, inviting top experts worldwide to the Lu family for a duel.
Of course, with everyone chasing the Yellow Lotus Shadow, naturally, no one was foolish enough to run into the Lu family’s trap.
Hu Rose could maintain this pretense unscathed.
At the very least, the world’s perception of the Lu family would change.
Having done all this, he gathered his subordinates, deployed the intelligence network, and began searching for Trent Marsh’s whereabouts.
To him, the person behind Ilia Danvers was surely Trent Marsh.
To conquer the world, War God Trent Marsh must be eliminated.
As for others, in Hu Rose’s view, they posed no threat.
But that young man troubled him greatly.
Oddly, despite searching for a long ti, his n couldn’t find any trace of the young man.
It’s as if he vanished into thin air.
...
Gaochang Labyrinth.
Trent Marsh, alone, with a sword on his back, crossed deserts and snow-capped mountains, finally arriving at the most mysterious place of Gaochang.
Gaochang Labyrinth!
Back then, Gaochang was a must-pass area on the Hexi Corridor, the most crucial passage in the western Nine Provinces.
However, there was a unique cave here, which no one dared to enter.
Of course, many martial artists attempted to venture inside before.
But once they entered, they never ca out.
Thus, this cave was known as the Gaochang Labyrinth.
Trent Marsh wiped the sweat from his face, untied the gourd at his waist, and took a swig of wine.
The fierce wind blowing from the Northern Border, drinking the strongest wine, his mind was clear.
The only thought was to take the Commander’s Seal and mobilize the Divine Weapon hidden in Li Si’s Hideout here.
This was a Divine Weapon capable of moving the world!
Others feared the Gaochang Labyrinth, but Trent Marsh did not.
He was War God!
Furthermore, he had the Commander’s Seal left by Silvio Reed at his waist.
What fear is there in dragon pools or tiger dens?
Trent Marsh raised the wine gourd, pouring the remaining wine over his sword.
He strode inside.
The labyrinth was dark.
Nothing could be seen inside.
But humans have not just eyes, but ears too.
Every step Trent Marsh took was careful enough.
He didn’t light a torch; people before him must have tried, but they never ca out.
This ant torches were useless, possibly even attracting danger inside.
After seventy steps!
Trent Marsh quickly slashed forward with his long sword!
Schlick!
The tearing sound ca, followed by the sound of two objects hitting the ground.
After the sound vanished, the labyrinth returned to silence.
Trent Marsh took a few steps forward, encountering nothing unusual.
But a minute later, many sounds erged!
The sound of countless crawling creatures scratching the ground reached Trent Marsh’s ears.
Trent Marsh’s right hand held the long sword against the ground, sprinting forward!
Swish!
The sword blade scraped the ground, sparking a fla!
The fla ignited the wine on the sword, bursting into a fierce fire!
The scene inside the cave beca visible to Trent Marsh for the first ti.
It was a narrow cave; the further he went in, the wider it beca!
When arriving, Trent Marsh keenly sensed that the cave entrance was only five or six ters wide.
But now, with his naked eyes, he could see it was over twenty ters wide!
The walls were covered in scorpions!
Dense and nurous!
Even Trent Marsh, worldly as he was, felt a tingling scalp at the sight.
By dim firelight, he saw countless bones behind him!
All left by those who entered the labyrinth before him.
Three ters ahead, there was another body.
Beyond that, nothing was visible.
That corpse, already the farthest any explorer of the Gaochang Labyrinth had reached.
"Damn it." Trent Marsh now just wanted to quietly have a bowl of porridge, but that was an extravagant hope.
Because he must first survive to eat porridge.
Whoosh!
The flas flickered incessantly as Trent Marsh, wielding the long sword, charged ever inward!
Those scorpions seed fearful of the fla, retreating one after another.
But Trent Marsh knew, fire alone was useless!
Otherwise, no one could have rely reached three steps before himself.
Sure enough, the scorpions spewed venom.
These toxins, undoubtedly, would be lethal upon contact!
"Slash!" Trent Marsh swept horizontally with his sword!
The blade’s force exploded!
Creating a powerful blast wave that flung the venom aside!
With the scorpions retreating, many murals appeared on the walls.
Trent Marsh focused his eyes, unable to resist a hearty laugh.
This mural was part of the Nine Provinces Mausoleum, known as the Heaven Mausoleum!
Upon leaving the Nine Provinces Mausoleum, Trent Marsh traversed the entire tomb!
Having seen everything he needed to see.
"So this is it, late brother put in so much effort!" Trent Marsh leaped into the air, jamming his long sword into the wall!
