Chapter 598

That day, the idle Ye Zhangqing, at Xu Jie's invitation, went together to One Yuan City to play.

"It's been so long since I joined the sect, but I still haven't properly toured this One Yuan City."

"With the rise of the Dao Yi Sect, the three Yuan Cities have expanded again in scale, becoming without doubt the premier city of Dongzhou."

"Cultivators are everywhere, the streets bustle with people coming and going, and the shops on both sides are packed with people."

"It's really lively."

"Hehe, you didn't know, huh? This liveliness is inseparable from Elder Ye."

"Me?"

Ye Zhangqing frowned, hearing that, Myriad Phenomena replied.

"At least half of the people here have come for our Dao Yi Sect's Canteen, all wanting to taste Elder Ye's cooking."

"Is that so........."

"I never expected the Canteen's fame to have grown this big now."

"As everyone strolled leisurely, Xu Jie was spending lavishly; seeing this, Ye Zhangqing teased."

"Third Senior Brother, have you struck it rich?"

"He? He just sold a spot yesterday for 120,000 top-grade spirit stones."

"Hehe, I've been short on funds lately; I only made up my mind with great difficulty."

"In response, Xu Jie gave an embarrassed laugh."

"Selling a meal directly brings in 120,000 top-grade spirit stones, yet Xu Jie still looks pained."

"Come on, pills, pills, personally refined by a seventh-grade Pill Master, pre-orders accepted."

"Dharma treasures, spirit artifacts, divine weapons, professionally crafted by a seventh-grade Weapon Refiner, custom orders accepted."

"Talisman seals, talisman seals, personally inscribed by an eighth-grade Talisman Seal Master, buy three get one free."

"Besides the normal shops on both sides, One Yuan City also has many more stall vendors."

"Moreover, these folks all have considerable cultivation, and many are high-grade Alchemists, Weapon Refiners, and Talisman Seal Masters."

"With their cultivation and status, they wouldn't need to set up stalls here, would they?"

"Ye Zhangqing was curious, but after Xu Jie and the others explained, he quickly understood."

"It's still for the Canteen—a meal costs over 100,000 top-grade spirit stones; even Alchemists, Weapon Refiners, and Talisman Seal Masters find it hard to stomach."

"So they directly set up stalls within One Yuan City."

"Nowadays, the three Yuan Cities have long become Dongzhou's largest trading hub for pills, dharma treasures, spirit artifacts, divine weapons, and talisman seals."

"High-grade pills and dharma treasures unavailable elsewhere can be found here."

"And if even the three Yuan Cities don't have them, then basically nowhere else does either."

"Even these Alchemists, Weapon Refiners, and Talisman Seal Masters have teamed up with some local merchants to spontaneously organize auctions."

"It's said that now there is one auction per day."

"Selling pills to pay for meals—that's what these Alchemists have in mind."

"It's truly outrageous; in such a short time, the three Yuan Cities have undergone such a huge change."

"While Ye Zhangqing and the others were strolling, inside Huling, a host of Huling Demon Kings and three Tiger Demon Emperors were solemnly discussing something."

"The current situation in Dongzhou probably can't accommodate us anymore."

"Just because the Dao Yi Sect hasn't moved yet doesn't mean anyone can guarantee it won't later."

"The Eastern Sea Water Clan fled, Yuan Mountain was destroyed; now only our Huling remains, and the Dao Yi Sect surely won't let us continue to exist."

"You mean like raising them in captivity like Yuan Mountain?"

"Eighty percent likely."

"The Dao Yi Sect's hegemony is absolutely a disaster for Huling."

"As a demon race, the Dao Yi Sect definitely won't let Huling continue to exist; the best outcome would be to be kept in captivity, merely lingering on."

"Even so, the Huling Demon Kings find it hard to accept."

"However, facing the current Dao Yi Sect, Huling is simply no match."

"Currently, the options left for Huling seem to be only one."

"That is, like the Eastern Sea Water Clan, flee Dongzhou and head to Beizhou."

"Hearing the Demon Kings' words, the three leading Tiger Demon Emperors remained silent until finally speaking."

"I originally thought the Buddhist Faction could defeat the Dao Yi Sect; who would have expected the current outcome."

"Let's go."

"All three demon emperors made the decision to head to Beizhou, at least to preserve some sparks for the Tiger race."

"Following the demon emperors' decision, numerous demon beasts of Huling began to gather toward the depths of Huling."

"Faced with Huling's such abnormal movements, the Dao Yi Sect naturally noticed it immediately."

"For no apparent reason they started gathering; what are these demon beasts up to?"

"The news quickly returned to the Dao Yi Sect."

"Senior Brother."

"Inside the Dong Fu, Wu Shou hurried over; Qi Xiong, who was practicing Xiūliàn cross-legged, opened his eyes and asked with a smile."

"What's wrong?"

"There's a situation over at Huling."

"Oh, these beasts still aren't behaving? Instead of us going to find them, they can't hold back?"

"Is Huling really stubborn? The Dao Yi Sect temporarily ignores them, yet they themselves seem to want to cause trouble."

"Qi Xiong secretly thought so, but Wu Shou shook his head."

No, it looks like Huling is planning to run.

Huling's movements show no intention to attack; instead, they look more like preparations to flee.

"Run? Where could they possibly run to in Dongzhou?"

"Perhaps not Dongzhou; like Long Aotian, they might be heading to Beizhou."

Wu Shou had a guess in his mind: if Huling isn't stupid, it naturally couldn't stay in Dongzhou; going to Beizhou would be the best choice.

Upon hearing that, Qi Xiong also nodded, but this time we can't let them get away—they're all food.

"You, Shi Song, Hong Zun, and Lin Potian go together and take Huling."

He dispatched four Great Saints at once, plus other saints; Qi Xiong plans to turn Huling into a pasture like Yuan Mountain, to serve as a food base for the Dao Yi Sect.

"Okay."

With the Dao Yi Sect's strength, taking Huling is no longer a problem.

As Wu Shou left, Qi Xiong also secretly thought that Dongzhou should also undergo a great cleansing.

For example, evil spirits and those demonic cultivators.

Now that the Dao Yi Sect dominates Dongzhou, those hidden threats obviously cannot be allowed to remain.

Directly suppressing them is the best choice.

Moreover, the Dao Yi Sect indeed has this capability, so Qi Xiong didn't hesitate much and quickly launched a purge of Dongzhou.

This purge mainly targets the Demon Race, evil spirits, and demonic cultivators.

As for these beings, the Dao Yi Sect has no intention of holding back.

Wu Shou led people to Huling, while Bai Hua Xianzi, Qin Shanhei, Mo Yun and the others, under Yu Mo's leadership, cleared out the demonic cultivators.

As for Qi Xiong, he personally led the forces to encircle and annihilate the evil spirits.

For a while, Dongzhou seemed to fall into chaos again, but people didn't pay much attention to such turmoil.

Put simply, this is just a simple suppression by the Dao Yi Sect; the Demon Race, evil spirits, and demonic cultivators, facing the Dao Yi Sect at its zenith, basically have no power to resist.

Such turmoil will soon be quelled and won't last long.

Among the demonic cultivators in Dongzhou, there is only one Great Saint; at this moment, that Great Saint is being besieged by Yu Mo and two others, with no chance to escape.
