Gao Wu: A centenarian old man, many children and good fortune! Chapter 150

The fall of Fourth New Xuzhou was like a heavy boulder pressing down on the hearts of all high-ranking officials in Fourth New Nanjing City. Xiao Yan knew that if this cancerous tumor was not removed as soon as possible, it would eventually lead to greater disaster. Therefore, even while consolidating his own strength, handling internal city affairs, and… being busy with his “sowing plan,” he never relaxed his intelligence gathering on the Xuzhou direction.

Zhao Meng’s special investigation team, like countless eyes and ears spread out, risked great danger to continuously infiltrate the outskirts of Xuzhou, trying to obtain more accurate information.

Every month, new news, like a trickle, flowed to Xiao Yan’s desk.

The initial reports mostly concerned Xuzhou’s city defenses. After occupying Xuzhou, the Blood Ghost Cult did not merely burn, kill, and plunder; instead, they quickly transformed it into a heavily fortified military stronghold. The city walls were covered with energy barriers shimmering with evil runes, and a large number of Blood Ghost Cultists patrolled day and night, including many high-level powerhouses. Inside the city, it was enveloped by a thick blood mist, making it difficult for spiritual power to penetrate, as if hiding some unspeakable secret.

As time passed, the investigation team’s infiltration deepened. More shocking and disturbing intelligence began to trickle back.

Some intelligence indicated that the Blood Ghost Cult was extensively capturing surviving civilians within Xuzhou City, herding them like livestock, seemingly preparing for some evil ritual.

Other intelligence stated that in the core area of Xuzhou City, the Blood Ghost Cult had erected an enormous, terrifying altar built from countless bones and flesh. Every time night fell, eerie blood-red light would illuminate the altar, accompanied by countless agonizing screams and wails, as if a large-scale human sacrifice was taking place.

There were even some sporadic, unverified reports suggesting that the Blood Ghost Cult seemed to be using Xuzhou’s ley line energy, as well as the resentment and life force of countless sacrificial victims, to try and awaken or… create some extremely terrifying entity!

This intelligence, like pieces of a puzzle, gradually outlined the Blood Ghost Cult’s chilling conspiracy in Xuzhou.

Every new piece of news heightened Xiao Yan’s sense of crisis.

…

Another two months passed.

At this moment, nearly half a year had passed since the confirmation of Fourth New Xuzhou’s fall.

In these past six months, Xiao Yan was like a sponge, continuously absorbing the surrounding energy and knowledge. His strength, through continuous consolidation and comprehension of laws, gradually awakened and erupted with astonishing power, like a dormant volcano.

His mastery of the War King Stage Two Peak had reached an unparalleled level, as if this realm was tailor-made for him. Every move, every breath, contained infinite profoundness, leaving people in awe.

However, Xiao Yan was not satisfied with this; his gaze had long surpassed the Second Stage Peak and looked towards the higher Third Stage. Although that barrier seemed out of reach, Xiao Yan could vaguely feel that the distance between him and it was gradually closing.

In countless training sessions and battles, Xiao Yan continuously challenged himself and broke through limits. His state of mind also greatly improved during this process, becoming more stable and resolute.

And his “meritorious” wives, under the new round of “sowing,” also successively brought exciting good news. Lin Yue, Chen Siyu, Ye Zihan, and ten other wives, as if favored by heaven, almost simultaneously became pregnant again! This joyous news was like a spring breeze, bringing Xiao Yan endless joy and anticipation.

Although the system’s potential evaluation for these children mostly remained at the “Excellent” or “Good” level, without the higher “Legendary” rank appearing, this was already enough to satisfy Xiao Yan. After all, the simultaneous gestation of ten high-potential offspring was an extraordinary achievement in itself.

Xiao Yan knew that the birth of these ten children would bring unprecedented prosperity and development to his family. They were like brilliant stars that would shine brightly in the days to come. And the simultaneous gestation of these ten high-potential offspring also meant that in the near future, Xiao Yan’s family would usher in a terrifying “bloodline torrent” level of improvement!

This “bloodline torrent” would not only greatly enhance Xiao Yan’s family’s strength but also lead to a qualitative leap in their social status and influence. Xiao Yan seemed to already see his glorious future of continuously growing stronger and becoming invincible.

Speaking of Ling Shuang, Lin Wei, Tao Ling, and Bing Yu, these four women were not ordinary; they were “expectant mothers” carrying six months of pregnancy! Now, the fetuses in their wombs were already over five months old, and their life energies were becoming increasingly strong.

Especially the fetus in Ling Shuang’s womb, after evaluation, was determined to be “Excellent+” level, which was truly astonishing! The energy fluctuations emitted by this little one were even more unique, a strange state where cold and heat intertwined.
