Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

Although he was indeed a bit surprised, Xu Zhangqing still did not develop any curiosity.

Therefore, when the Immortal Sect's Flying Giant Sword arrived, he immediately boarded it.

After waiting for a period of time, several more disciples boarded one after another, and when the time came, they departed from the Flying Crossing Point.

Just as the Flying Giant Sword carried Xu Zhangqing and the others into the sky, a sudden "Boom—" resounded from the distant Black Forest, as if something had exploded, causing even the ground to tremble violently.

Even a powerful shockwave swept in from far away; wherever it passed, grass and trees were shredded to pieces, and flying birds and insects were torn apart.

Even the Giant Flying Sword, controlled by a Metal Spirit Root and protected by the Immortal Sect's array, shook violently at this moment, and everyone sitting cross-legged on it trembled — one can imagine how powerful this shock was.

Xu Zhangqing's expression changed slightly, and he immediately shouted: "Go, go quickly!"

This matter, eight or nine times out of ten, is related to 【Qin Hua Golden Core Huang Yuanhua's Cave Abode】.

If nothing unexpected happened, that explosion just now absolutely killed many people; therefore, we must leave this place of trouble as soon as possible.

"What's that commotion?"

"Seems like something happened in the Black Forest!"

"I'm Leaving ah!"

At this moment, the entire Dongqing City was in an uproar.

Everyone knew there were monsters in the Black Forest, very dangerous, but this situation was absolutely a once-in-a-lifetime sight.

One could see many cultivators rising into the air via Travel Tools, all looking toward the direction where the explosion sounded.

Even some bold ones moved closer in that direction.

However, the aftershocks had not subsided when another wave rose.

Boom!

A second loud explosion.

Immediately after, a shockwave even more violent than the previous one surged toward this side at an even faster speed; all flowers, plants, trees, even the soil, shattered inch by inch.

Those cultivators who wanted to get closer didn't even have time to dodge; their flesh-and-blood bodies instantly turned into countless chunks of meat, internal organ fragments and foul-smelling blood raining down like rainwater.

Quite a few people got sprayed in the face, and many were scared out of their wits.

Those who originally wanted to check the situation all quickly retreated back into the city, completely daring not to go out.

Whoosh!

The Giant Flying Sword finally stabilized, then the sword body trembled and instantly turned into a streak of sharp golden light, slicing through the ten-thousand-meter sky at extreme speed, vanishing at the horizon in the blink of an eye.

"Phew!"

Xu Zhangqing let out a long breath.

Although he knew something would happen, he didn't expect the commotion to be this big; this time, who knows how many people died.

"What exactly happened in the Black Forest?" The fellow disciples all around wore looks of lingering fear.

However, everyone's eyes held only bewilderment; no one knew what was going on.

An hour later, everyone finally returned safely to the Dongting Immortal Sect.

When Xu Zhangqing once again set foot on the solid ground of 【Zhuqi Peak】, seeing fellow disciples all around and even acquaintances on the Arena, his hanging heart finally settled.

Didn't expect a mere Dongqing City could be this dangerous; truly don't know how many unknown secrets lie in the depths of the Black Forest.

Looks like that Golden Core King Zhenren back then chose to establish the Loose Cultivator market in that place — there's probably an even deeper reason behind it.

Hu Bugui shouted rather excitedly: "Lao Xu's back?!"

Xu Zhangqing asked in surprise: "How did Lao Zhao get on the Arena?"

Me, Hu Bugui, Zhao Ziyue — the whole Fishing Trio — almost without exception, none of us like fighting much; we prefer enjoying the cultivation life.

Especially this Zhao Ziyue — aside from making it rain on Xu Zhangqing's Spirit Fields, he only thinks about fishing; first time seeing him actually step onto the Arena, truly inconceivable.

Hu Bugui immediately said with a serious expression: "Someone's stealing our business, and their methods are extremely vicious — they even stole our Barbecue Seasoning.

Lao Zhao couldn't swallow it, so he made a bet with the other party: whoever loses must voluntarily withdraw from the Zhuqi Peak Square."

"Too impulsive; why didn't you wait for me to come back?" Xu Zhangqing heard this, narrowing his eyes as he looked toward the Arena.

Zhao Ziyue has a Water Spirit Root; the opponent has an Earth Spirit Root.

Because his Spirit Root is countered, Zhao Ziyue is very passive in combat.

He's only able to hold on until now by relying on the Water Spirit Root's unique enduring spiritual power, but even so, he still can't gain the slightest advantage.

It's very obvious the opponent came fully prepared.

I'm afraid, whether it's Zhao Ziyue, Hu Bugui, or even Xu Zhangqing, we've all probably been investigated thoroughly by someone.

"Lao Xu, you've got to think of something — we can't really withdraw from Zhuqi Peak, can we?" Hu Bugui didn't want to hand over the profits just like that.

Originally the number of people joining the alliance was decreasing, and now such an overbearing opponent pops up.

Xu Zhangqing frowned: "Just the alliance fees earn at least ten Middle-grade Spirit Stones a day, not counting the subsequent ingredient profits — indeed easy to be targeted."

Hu Bugui couldn't help asking: "Then what do we do?"

Xu Zhangqing looked at Zhao Ziyue struggling on the Arena, thought for a moment, and said: "Like this, I'll try contacting an acquaintance, see if they're willing to help; if it really doesn't work, we can only give up the Zhuqi Peak profits."

Hu Bugui said with a bitter face: "I've tried, no one's willing to help."

Xu Zhangqing didn't speak, immediately taking out several Communication Talismans.

One is Li Sancai.

One is Chu Qiu.

One is Bai Ling'er.

One is Han Xin.

Among those I currently know, only these few might be able to help.

Chu Qiu is outside attending that Zhengdu Conference.

Li Sancai has his cousin backing him, but Li Lingbi is currently hunting demons in the Central Region.

Then only Bai Ling'er and Han Xin remain.

Bai Ling'er's father is a Talisman Cultivator, so his status should not be low.

But recently, the two have had no contact at all.

Therefore, Xu Zhangqing pondered and injected his Wood Spirit Power into Han Xin's Communication Talisman first.

This person is also an Earth Spiritual Root and is an Array Master, perhaps able to help.

Time passed second by second, and Xu Zhangqing's Wood Spirit Power kept being consumed.

However, Han Xin on the Left Side showed no reaction at all, and Zhong Shi never picked up.

Xu Zhangqing muttered, "Elder Sister, you can't possibly be drunk this early in the morning, can you?"

"Hey~"

Finally, Han Xin's rather hoarse voice came from the Left Side, as if she had just woken up.

"Han Elder Sister~"

"Are you... Xu Zhangqing?"

"I've run into some trouble here; can you help me?"

"When did you ever ask Nong for help?"

"Not for nothing; if you can help, I'll surely thank you with generous gifts!"

"Tsk tsk tsk... I'll get up and go find you right now."

"I'm not at the Spirit Field."

"Then where are you?"

"I'm at Zhuqi Peak!"

Soon, the communication with Han Xin was interrupted.

The other side had just woken up and was hurrying over here.

Fortunately, Zhuqi Peak is directly above the Spiritual Vein, so it shouldn't take too long.

Xu Zhangqing thought it over and felt one Han Xin wasn't safe enough, so he injected his Wood Spirit Power into Li Sancai's Communication Talisman as well, to see if this person could help!!!
