And now, the Duke of Montenegro was sitting on the Throne of Storms in Storm City by the sea.
There were several grand knight guards, an elite troop of several Knight Attendants, and an army of several thousand people around him. They were guarding the throne at all times, protecting it tightly. They were worried that the Duke of Montenegro’s enemies would use the beheading tactic.
In the eyes of most people in this world, no one could shake the Duke of Montenegro.
Besides that, Levi also discovered the real cause of his father’s death.
The Duke of Montenegro was the mastermind behind his father’s death. The Earl of Blood and the Earl of Silversilk were accomplices.
The false information the Duke of Montenegro provided caused his father’s army to be surrounded by the Tuva Empire. In the end, after his father fought to the death and came out, he was personally killed by the Duke of Montenegro!
All of this was a scheme by the ambitious Duke of Montenegro.
When the Tuva Empire started a war against the royal empire during the
Millennium Holy War, the Duke of Montenegro also secretly fueled the fire.
It was said that the Duke of Montenegro was acquainted with the influential figures in the Tuva Empire.
He had to find out more after getting the information he wanted from the Earl of Blood.
Levi let the Earl of Blood continue to play his role.
Then, when the Earl of Blood had a chance to see the Duke of Montenegro, he would bring him along.
It was not impossible but unnecessary for him to break in directly.
There was still a particular risk in doing so. It was best to use the method of infiltration and assassination. It was more secure.
As for the Earl of Blood, Levi would turn him into a living corpse after he completed the quest.
Then, he would kill all the members of the Earl’s family, leaving no one alive.
With that, Levi could take back Tulip Hill.
Whether he continued to be a lord or retired, handing over the territory to others and collecting the money himself was fine.
Besides the Duke of Montenegro’s information, Levi also received exciting data from the Earl of Blood.
It was about his old enemy, the Bird of Death’s Voice.
According to what the Earl of Blood knew, the Duke of Montenegro had hired an assassin from the Bird of Death’s Voice to assassinate a great noble in the south.
The time was set at the end of the month.
This assassin was Levi’s old acquaintance, Pale Shadow.
This made Levi a little happy.
He was worried that he would not be able to find Pale Shadow.
He did not expect to see him again so soon.
“I’m looking forward to it.”
Levi sighed in his heart.
In the following days, he lived in Flower City.
He cultivated silently while asking for the information he needed in the Shining Tavern.
During this period, his Giant Breathing Technique reached level 6.
With the blood of the Great Ice Ape King, the Giant Breathing Technique was
very fast to cultivate.
Moreover, Levi had already reached the limit of how many breathing techniques he could use.
This allowed his breathing technique to progress faster.
Even a breathing technique as tricky as the Giant Breathing Technique was not difficult for Levi.
The Red Lotus Breathing Technique, the Thunder Wolf Breathing Technique, and the Elephant Turtle Breathing Technique had all been mastered.
Now, Levi’s breathing technique system has taken shape.
The defensive breathing technique would be focused on Black Snake. The other breathing techniques would all be used to break through the limits of the Black Snake Breathing Technique.
Strength-based breathing techniques were based on the Red Lotus.
The speed-type breathing technique was temporarily focused on Siren Breathing Technique.
Endurance-type breathing technique was mainly based on the Blood Whale.
Perception-type breathing technique was the Man-Faced Spiders.
As for the type of constitution, he would temporarily focus on the Vortex Beast.
If he had a better substitute in the future, he would switch to a better breathing technique. After all, the quality of the Vortex Beast was too poor, and he could only cultivate it to the limit of level 7.
On the other hand, the Earl of Blood had not done anything so far.
Levi even asked him to take out the breathing technique inheritance map to test the Earl of Blood’s honesty.
Although he was unwilling, the Earl of Blood did not dare to resist.
Strangers had threatened his family during this period.
This made him realize that Levi was not trying to scare him.
Moreover, he felt like he was dying every night when he went to sleep. It was as if countless spiders were crawling all over his body.
He did not know if the poison Levi mentioned was real, but he did not dare to take the risk. Otherwise, he would die!
He could only do whatever Levi said.
Just like that, Levi obtained another top-notch speed-type breathing technique inheritance diagram.
Blood Beast Breathing Technique.
This was a speed-type breathing technique that could be cultivated to the limit of level 9.
“Perhaps this breathing technique can replace the Siren Breathing Technique and become my main focus in speed-type breathing techniques in the future.”
After obtaining this breathing technique, Levi also incorporated it into his cultivation system.
“I’ve learned too many breathing techniques during this period. I need some time to digest them. I can’t learn new ones.”
Levi woke up from his breathing technique cultivation state.
He had just learned the five breathing techniques of Ostrich Mountain, Red Lotus, Elephant Turtle, Thunder Wolf, and Blood Beast.
All of them were of excellent quality or above.
His strength would soar again when he reached the limits of these breathing techniques.
Time passed daily, and soon, it was the end of the month.
Levi got up from his cultivation state.
“Magic Shark, Demon Mountain, Demon Hai, follow me.”
Having made preparations, Levi, who was fully armed, brought his three living dead companions out of the city.
He was going to welcome Pale Shadow.
The Green Bug Territory, the territory of the Scorpion Family, was a notorious family and was unpopular among southern noble circles..
