Chapter 330
Chapter Title: Heavenly Realm
I spent seven days and nights straight honing the spells of the Heavenly Divine Scripture. Spells normally require years of practice at minimum, but I already possessed the foundational spell knowledge from the Earth Immortal Mangyang, plus a substantial base of spiritual power. Even in that short training period, I managed to wield the Heavenly Divine Scripture to a usable degree.
Mangyang said,
"Baek Woong, Word has come from the Sword Demon."
"What did he say?"
"After the Nangong Family's funding dried up, the Five Great Families' council formally voted to expel them. The Sword Demon is mobilizing the underworld forces in Anhui Province to whittle down the Nangong Family's experts."
"Hmm."
It was unfolding just as expected.
The Five Great Families, who dominated the Central Plains, weren't the type to lose even one member under normal circumstances. Each boasted prosperity beyond belief for a single family. But with their family head and young lord missing, the elders crippled in their martial arts, and even their ally faction abandoning them, it was only natural. The Nangong Family was already as good as half-ruined.
