Chapter 1038: Powerful Enemies in the Sea Region

Xuanyi looked at the peerless figure before him and swallowed hard in secret.

This was Bai Xianzi!

Ten thousand years ago, she was already a supreme powerhouse, a top-tier existence among the Great Vehicle Stage cultivators who invaded the Immortal Abandoned Land at that time.

A tyrannical existence that once nearly drove the ancient mighty figures of the Immortal Abandoned Land to despair.

Today, her strength had clearly become even more terrifying.

Just a moment ago, this Bai Xianzi had single-handedly and forcibly held off twenty Great Vehicle Mid-Stage cultivators.

Her strength could be called terrifying!

He hesitated for a moment, then a fervent smile spread across his face.

He bit the bullet and came before Bai Xianzi, cupping his fists with a cautious expression, "I am Xuanyi, greetings to Bai Xianzi."

"Earlier, many thanks to Bai Xianzi for your help."

Xiaobai glanced at Xuanyi indifferently, "You need not thank me; the reason I took action was because of Wang Jianqiang, and it has nothing to do with you or anyone else in the Immortal Abandoned Land."

"If not for him, I would not care whether you live or die."

Xiaobai's blunt words made Xuanyi's expression stiffen, "Fairy, that is not quite right. Regardless of who you took action for, we are part of the beneficiaries, so we should offer our thanks."

Having said this, the smile on his face grew a bit richer, "I didn't expect that you, Fairy, are also a person who appreciates talent, to actually admire Wang Jianqiang so much."

Xiaobai's expression flickered, and she nodded noncommittally.

Just then, Xuanyi's voice came again, "Coincidentally, I have a deep friendship with Wang Jianqiang, just like brothers."

"Since Xuanyi and Brother Wang have such a bond, counting it up, you are not an outsider to me either."

Xiaobai was taken aback and looked deeply at Xuanyi.

This person's personality was somewhat similar to Wang Jianqiang's.

She shook her head, "I know what you want to say; rest assured, I no longer have any designs on the Immortal Abandoned Land."

After speaking, she ignored Xuanyi.

Her figure flashed, and she appeared beside Wang Jianqiang.

Seeing this, Xuanyi let out a long sigh of relief.

At the same time.

Xiaobai moved her mind.

An invisible force surged out, enveloping her and Wang Jianqiang, isolating them from the outside world.

"I must leave."

Before Wang Jianqiang could speak, Xiaobai suddenly said.

Wang Jianqiang was stunned, "Isn't your speed of crossing the river and tearing down the bridge a bit too fast? You've only just recovered and you're already planning to abandon your humble husband?"

Xiaobai rolled her eyes at Wang Jianqiang, "What nonsense are you spouting? I am not leaving on purpose, but out of necessity."

Having said this, she was silent for a moment and continued, "I actually come from the depths of the Sea Region Outside the Realm."

"Ten thousand years ago, in order to escape the pursuit of a powerful enemy, I fled to Youzhou."

"Later, I heard of the Immortal Abandoned Land..."

"The reason I entered the Immortal Abandoned Land back then was not actually for its effect of increasing lifespan, but to use the Boundary Wall outside the Immortal Abandoned Land to shield myself from my enemy's detection."

Hearing this, Wang Jianqiang raised an eyebrow.

Many years ago, he had learned from Lan Nianbing that Xiaobai was not a cultivator of the Eight Continents and likely came from the Sea Region.

Now, this speculation was finally confirmed.

It was just that he hadn't expected that the reason Xiaobai appeared in Youzhou and entered the Immortal Abandoned Land was to hide from a powerful enemy.

Xiaobai's strength was so great, to be able to force her to this point...

Just how strong was her enemy?

A Great Vehicle Late Stage cultivator should not have this capability.

Could it be a Great Vehicle Perfection?

Or perhaps...

That which had long since vanished from the Immortal Abandoned Land and even the Eight Continents...

The legendary Void Refinement Stage cultivator, an existence like a Land Immortal?

A moment later.

Wang Jianqiang came back to his senses, and after pondering for a moment, his expression became grave, "You are in such a rush to leave..."

"It wouldn't be that your enemy has already tracked you down, would it?"

Xiaobai nodded, "You must have noticed the arrival of those eight cultivators from the Eight Continents Outside the Realm earlier, and the matter of the Sea Clan launching a massive attack on the Eight Continents Outside the Realm, right?"

"If my guess is correct, those Sea Clan members are likely here because of me."

Hearing this, Wang Jianqiang's eyes widened.

It had been ten thousand years since Xiaobai fled to the Immortal Abandoned Land.

He never expected that her powerful enemy would still not have given up on hunting her down!

What kind of grudge or hatred was this!

And...

Setting aside the strength of the other party for a moment.

This influence was simply too terrifying, wasn't it?

Across such an unknown, vast distance, they were actually able to mobilize such a powerful force of the Sea Clan.

One must know, this was an army capable of shocking the cultivators of the Eight Continents!

Such a terrifying influence...

This almost surpassed his understanding.

Could it be...

Is Xiaobai's enemy truly a figure like the legendary Land Immortal?

Otherwise, how could they possess such terrifying power?

If that is the case, even if Xiaobai's strength is formidable, facing such a powerful enemy would likely be extremely dangerous.

Thinking of this.

Wang Jianqiang took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down, "Since the Boundary Wall of the Immortal Abandoned Land can help you shield yourself from the perception of powerful enemies, you could just as well remain in the Immortal Abandoned Land; why leave?"

"Wouldn't that be even more dangerous?"

Xiaobai sighed, "The Boundary Wall outside the Immortal Abandoned Land can indeed help me hide my tracks, but that is only if the Boundary Wall is intact."

"Now that the Boundary Wall has been broken, the Boundary Wall has lost its use for me."

"Once the Eight Continents fall, not only will I become a turtle in a jar, but the entire Immortal Abandoned Land will also be implicated because of me."

Hearing this, Wang Jianqiang fell silent.

A sense of powerlessness deeply permeated his body and mind.

First, the Eight Continents Outside the Realm attacked the Immortal Abandoned Land, and now Xiaobai is being hunted by a powerful enemy...

It had been a long time since he felt this powerless.

In the end, it is still because my strength is insufficient.

He sighed and did not continue to urge her to stay, "When do you plan to leave?"

After a moment of silence, Xiaobai said, "Immediately."

Upon hearing this, Wang Jianqiang nodded, "You must survive."

Xiaobai felt a deep sense of worry in these words, and her heart was moved.

Before she could react, Wang Jianqiang's voice came again, "You still owe me a gambling debt that hasn't been repaid; you must live well and come back to pay me."

Xiaobai:...

After rolling her eyes at Wang Jianqiang, Xiaobai said softly, "I am leaving."

"Wait."

Wang Jianqiang suddenly spoke up to stop her, "At least leave a way for me to find you; leaving so decisively, are you trying to welsh on the gambling debt?"

Xiaobai:...
