Chapter 306

These six were precisely the most trusted and most powerful existences, carefully selected by Prince Xu Xiao of Beiliang from among the three hundred thousand Beiliang Iron Cavalry and adopted as his sons!

Each and every one of them was an unparalleled fierce general who had crawled out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and each and every one had hands stained with endless blood and lost souls!

Each and every one's cultivation base had reached a terrifying realm that defied belief!

The one leading them wore a suit of white battle armor; his face was handsome, yet his temperament was as cold as frost, like ten thousand years of black ice.

The aura emanating from his body was as deep as the ocean and boundless, having clearly surpassed the Fan Chou of a Grand Master and reached the terrifying realm of a First-Transcendence Earth Immortal!

He was the commander of the thirty thousand Beiliang Iron Cavalry, the one hailed as the "White-Clothed Soldier Immortal"—Chen Zhibao!

The other five adopted sons behind him, such as Yuan Zuozong, Chu Lushan, and Ye Xizhen, were all top-tier experts at the Grand Master level and even the Grand Master level!

This was the strongest trump card and power of the Beiliang Wang Fu, aside from Xu Xiao himself!

"Transmit this Prince's order!" Xu Xiao looked at the six adopted sons before him and spoke in a cold voice, filled with unquestionable majesty and killing intent!

"Chen Zhibao, you shall immediately assemble our Beiliang elite, a total of two hundred thousand troops!"

"You six shall lead them personally, travel day and night, board ships and sail out to sea, heading for the Taohuadao in the East Sea!"

"This Prince orders you, at all costs, to bring Fengnian... bring the Crown Prince back to this Prince safe and sound!"

"As for that ignorant and death-defying evil dragon, and that so-called Taohuadao..."

"For this Prince... completely, erase them from this world!"

"This Prince wants the entire world to know what fate awaits anyone who dares to touch my Xu Xiao's son!"

"Yes! Your son obeys!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Zhibao and the other five adopted sons all trembled violently, their eyes exploding with overwhelming killing intent, and they answered in unison!

They could clearly feel that their adoptive father had truly been struck by Lei Ting's wrath this time!

A bloody storm capable of making the entire East Sea tremble was about to unfold!

Just then.

The strategist Li Yishan, who had always stood beside Xu Xiao with a thin face and eyes as cold and venomous as a snake, coughed lightly, stepped forward, bowed, and said:

"Prince, this matter... still requires long-term planning."

"That Peach Blossom Island is far away in the East Sea; although our Beiliang Iron Cavalry is unmatched in the world, they are not skilled in naval warfare."

"Moreover, if the army marches through the Great Song by land, it will likely attract the vigilance and obstruction of the Great Song imperial court and numerous Wulinmen Sects, unnecessarily increasing variables."

He paused, a glint of calculation flashing in his eyes, and continued:

"In Li Yishan's opinion, we can sail from the northern lands, bypass the Great Song's territory, and strike directly into the East Sea."

"In this way, we can catch them off guard without them knowing or suspecting!"

"Additionally, regarding this battle at Peach Blossom Island, aside from our Beiliang Wang Fu, the ones who suffered the most severe damage were the Fomen and that Cihang Jingzhai."

"It is rumored that the two peerless successors of Cihang Jingzhai, Shi Feixuan and Bi Xiuxin, were both captured alive by that sea dragon, had their Wu Gong crippled, were reduced to cauldrons, and suffered endless humiliation."

"Cihang Jingzhai and the Fomen are of one breath and branch; Dingranbu Society will not let this go."

"We can send someone to secretly contact Cihang Jingzhai and act together with them!"

"As far as I know, the founding ancestor of Cihang Jingzhai, the Earth Nun, is a top-tier existence with unfathomable strength who has long since reached the Immortal Realm!"

"If we can obtain her assistance, plus the hidden moves you, Prince, have secretly prepared, that mere evil dragon will surely find it impossible to escape even with wings!"

Upon hearing this, a look of approval flashed in Xu Xiao's eyes; he nodded and said, "Good! This matter shall be done as you say!"

"Immediately send someone to contact Cihang Jingzhai!"

"This Prince wants that evil dragon to know what it means to have no way to heaven and Rudiwu Sect!"

For a moment, the entire Beiliang Wang Fu was shrouded in an aura of grimness!

Countless troops began to be mobilized secretly!

Countless experts also began to gather quietly!

They were brimming with killing intent, determined to level Peach Blossom Island and slay that black sea dragon that dared to challenge the dignity of the Prince of Beiliang!

At the same time.

Far away in the Great Sui Dynasty, a thousand li distant, at the Imperial Treading Peak, Cihang Jingzhai.

This Xian Sect pure land, hailed as the holy land of the white path of the Wu Lin, was now clouded with sorrow, the atmosphere solemn.

Within Cihang Jingzhai, after learning that the two disciples she cherished most and had placed her highest hopes on, Shi Feixuan and Bi Xiuxin, had met with misfortune at Taohuadao, been captured alive by that mysterious sea dragon, had their Wu Gong crippled, and were reduced to cauldrons, the current abbess, Fan Qinghui,

felt as if struck by a bolt from the blue, filled with shock, anger, grief, and pain!

Her beautiful face was filled with unbelievable horror and endless sorrow.

She never expected that her two disciples, who were so proud and talented beyond compare, would end up in such a miserable state!

This was not only a great personal humiliation for them, but also a huge blow to the centuries-old reputation of her Cihang Jingzhai!

Just as her heart was filled with grief and helplessness, and she did not know what to do,

a secret letter from the Beiliang Wang Fu was delivered into her hands.

The letter detailed the Beiliang Wang Fu's willingness to join forces with Cihang Jingzhai to jointly punish the evil dragon of Peach Blossom Island and rescue their respective successors.

Looking at the letter in her hand, Fan Qinghui's heart was filled with mixed emotions, and she hesitated.

She naturally knew that the strength of that sea dragon was unfathomable; even two ancestors of the Fomen at the Earth Immortal level had perished in its hands.

Relying solely on the power of her Cihang Jingzhai to go and punish it would be no different than throwing an egg against a stone, inviting humiliation upon oneself.

Cooperating with the Beiliang Wang Fu, although it was like making a deal with a tiger, was indeed the only opportunity currently available to rescue Feixuan and Xiuxin.

Just as she was torn and found it difficult to decide,

suddenly, a terrifying aura, boundless and filled with holiness and purifying power, shot up from the forbidden area behind the mountain of Cihang Jingzhai!

Immediately following, a hoarse voice, as if it did not eat the food of the human world and filled with compassion and majesty, slowly sounded beside Fan Qinghui's ear:

"Qinghui, do not worry."

"That Eastern Sea evil dragon acts against reason, slaughtering the innocent; heaven's justice can no longer tolerate it."

"This old one will personally go to Taohuadao to subdue demons and eliminate evil, setting the record straight."

It was indeed the founding ancestor of Cihang Jingzhai, who had been in seclusion for centuries and long forgotten by the world—Di Ni—who had finally emerged from her retreat!

Upon hearing this, Fan Fan Qinghui was overjoyed, immediately knelt on the ground, and respectfully said, "We welcome our Sect Ancestor's emergence!"

Di Ni's figure slowly appeared before Fan Fan Qinghui.

She looked like an ordinary white-haired old nun with a kind face, yet within those eyes seemed to contain endless wisdom and stars, unfathomably deep.

She continued, "However, that evil dragon possesses extraordinary strength and has already taken the form of a true dragon; relying solely on this old one, I may not have a hundred percent certainty."

"To be safe, this old one must also invite a senior brother to go together."

"He should also come out and stretch his muscles and bones."

Having spoken, her figure turned into a streak of flowing light and vanished into the horizon.

The one she went to invite was a peer equal to her, also a Land Immortal with unfathomable strength who had hidden away for many years—the Heavenly Monk!

Clearly, to deal with Ning Chuan, Cihang Jingzhai was also preparing to send out its entire force!

Above the Jianghu, due to the intervention of major top powers, earthquakes became constant and waves grew treacherous.

·· ·Begging for flowers···· ····

Countless gazes turned toward that mysterious island located above the Eastern Sea—Taohuadao.

Everyone was waiting, preparing to see how the Beiliang Wang Fu and Cihang Jingzhai would respond to this domineering, lawless Dragon Island Lord.

A world-shaking great war sweeping across the entire world seemed... about to erupt!

Yet at this moment, Taohuadao remained peaceful and serene, as if all the turmoil of the outside world had nothing to do with this place.

Under the improved mental cultivation method provided by Ning Chuan and the careful teaching of Xiao Xiao Yuanshan, a Grandmaster powerhouse, the cultivation base of the island's disciples and servants advanced a thousand li a day, making rapid progress.

The entire Taohuadao was filled with vigorous vitality and powerful aura.

Ning Chuan's own cultivation base, through the continuous refinement of demonic power and the contemplation of numerous Daoist scriptures, became increasingly perfect and unfathomably deep.

He could clearly feel that the moment to trigger the second heavenly tribulation—the Transformation Tribulation—was getting closer and closer.

With just one more opportunity, perhaps it would happen naturally.

On this day.

Above Taohuadao, the clouds and winds changed color once again!

A powerful aura filled with charm and demonic strangeness, yet carrying a touch of holiness and solemnity, shot straight up from the small courtyard where Zhu Yuyan was in seclusion!

There stood Zhu Yuyan's enchanting figure in mid-air, surrounded by a layer of strange qi that was neither black nor white, neither righteous nor evil!

Within her dantian and sea of qi, the demonic sect Dao Heart, which had originally been somewhat unstable, with the help of the Dragon Essence Blood bestowed by Ning Chuan and the improved 【Xuan Nu Tian Mo Ce】.

Successfully condensed into a true Jin Dan, containing the mysteries of the Land Immortal Realm!
