Protagonist:

Xu Changqing

Seeing this, Qin Hundred Li showed no surprise at all, saying expressionlessly, "Under the cover of my Divine Sense, did you think I wouldn't discover it?"

Lowering the height of the sword light, on the surface it was to approach Xuanxin City, but in reality it was to lure out the sea monsters in the water.

Even when tentacles several dozen meters long appeared, he didn't even summon a Magic Tool, merely stepping lightly on the sword light beneath his feet.

With a "puff" sound, the large sword light immediately split into dozens of zhang-long small sword lights.

Xu Changqing saw it in his eyes and secretly thought: "This move is a bit like the Golden Blade Technique."

Both can be large or small.

Large sword light splits into small sword lights.

The only difference is that Qin Hundred Li's power is greater, and it looks even more visually impactful.

Soon, these tentacles were severed by the sword lights one after another; let alone attacking, they couldn't even get close.

The other Golden Core Stage cultivator in the team, Li Lingbi, had no intention of making a move from start to finish, merely watching with great interest.

After all, Qin Hundred Li, as the Core Disciple Number One of the Immortal Sect and a top-tier genius in the Sword Path, if he couldn't even kill a single sea monster, it would be the same whether he made a move or not.

Hualala!

The sea monster in the water, in pain, stirred up waves several zhang high.

Wave crests continuously collided, splashing countless water droplets.

Just when everyone thought it would continue to attack, they discovered its aura was growing weaker and weaker.

"It ran away?"

"I'm leaving!"

"Just this?"

The sea monster choosing to escape left Xu Changqing and the others dumbfounded.

But on second thought, it seemed reasonable enough.

However, Qin Hundred Li had no intention of letting go of this fellow who had lain in ambush in the water to attack them; his gaze became exceptionally sharp, as if he could pierce through the ink-green Evil Water.

Then with a flick of his Sword Finger, the separated sword lights fused together at extreme speed.

Afterward, they transformed into a golden Giant Sword nearly ten zhang long, slanting downward into the water like a collapsing sky pillar.

The sea surface split in two, revealing the many water demons and creatures inside; perhaps influenced by the Evil Water, each one bared fangs and brandished claws, their faces hideous.

However, faced with Qin Hundred Li's casual strike, they didn't even have the ability to resist, and were erased in an instant, not even leaving a trace behind.

Puff.

The sea monster attempting to flee deeper was even pierced through by a single sword.

The massive Giant Sword stuck in its body; no matter how it struggled, it couldn't break free, its body tearing open shocking wound after shocking wound at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Blood mixed with some kind of liquid sprayed out frantically.

It twitched a few times, then lost all movement.

Xu Changqing couldn't help but shake his head: "Why did you have to provoke him?"

Qin Hundred Li's mind moved, and the golden Giant Sword brought the sea monster corpse several dozen zhang long flying out.

At this moment, everyone finally saw its appearance clearly; it turned out to be a colossal squid.

Its whole body was covered in smooth ink-colored scales, shimmering with a strange ghostly light under the sunlight.

Its head was like a towering mountain peak.

Its two eyes were like blood-red lanterns.

Even dead, it still emanated a terrifying fierce baleful aura.

The next second, as the golden light dissipated, this sea monster corpse vanished into thin air.

No need to guess — it was definitely moved by Qin Hundred Li into a storage artifact.

This one strike alone deterred the scene.

Whether water demons or sea monsters, none dared to make a move, all fleeing toward the depths of the Canglan Sea Region.

Afterward, Qin Hundred Li led everyone to land lightly.

After a month's time, Xu Changqing and Chu Qiu once again set foot in Xuanxin City.

Pity that things are not as they were; however glorious it was before, that is how ruined it is now.

On the original streets, cultivators and Loose Cultivators of all kinds were countless; now not a single one could be seen — obviously, all who could run had run.

Not long after, Qin Hundred Li led Xu Changqing and the others to find a group of Survivors.

Never expected that there would actually be an acquaintance.

Xu Changqing recognized him at a glance: "Linghe Sect's Ji Mingxuan?"

Ji Mingxuan froze for a moment, then stared wide-eyed: "Xu Spirit Envoy?"

Li Lingbi was surprised: "You know him?"

Xu Changqing introduced: "This is the Eldest Senior Brother of the Linghe Sect."

Hearing he was from the Linghe Sect, everyone felt very surprised and couldn't help but look a few more times.

To become the Eldest Senior Brother, one must far surpass fellow disciples in all aspects.

In other words, this person has great talent in planting and cultivation.

Ji Mingxuan said quite excitedly: "Presumably, all of you are disciples of the Dongting Immortal Sect!"

Xu Zhangqing briefly introduced: "This is Senior Brother Qin Hundred Li……"

After hearing this, Ji Mingxuan was left speechless.

Just Qin Hundred Li alone was already famous throughout the Tianyuan Realm; unexpectedly, Li Lingbi had also come.

Although the others were not recognized, and some had not even heard of them.

But since they could come together, they definitely were not simple.

Xu Zhangqing asked: "Aren't you at Linghe Sect?"

Ji Mingxuan revealed a wry smile: "I was invited by Zhao Qianyun, originally planning to go to Rumeng Island, but unexpectedly missed the timing, and then was trapped here."

Chu Qiu raised an eyebrow: "Your strength is not bad either, why didn't you run?"

Ji Mingxuan glanced at the people behind him and countered: "If I ran, what about them?"

Although there were several cultivators behind him, most were ordinary people.

Judging by their clothing and appearance, they should be Danjia living here.

Qin Hundred Li's eyes flashed slightly, revealing a look of appreciation: "Courage is commendable."

Xu Zhangqing stepped forward and patted his shoulder: "Leave the rest to us."

Ji Mingxuan felt a great sense of relief: "That's great."

Chu Qiu asked again: "What about Zhao Qianyun?"

Ji Mingxuan replied: "Before the incident happened, he had already led people to Rumeng Island; if nothing unexpected happens, he should have landed on the island by now."

Rumeng Island is a Secret Realm.

To some extent, it is even safer than the current Xuanxin City.

Xu Zhangqing was very curious: "What is the situation at the City Lord's Mansion now?"

Ji Mingxuan revealed a look of fear in his eyes: "The first thing the flood dragon did after breaking free was to destroy the City Lord's Mansion, kill and eat the people inside."

Li Lingbi narrowed his eyes slightly: "There are so many cultivators in Xuanxin City, and the City Lord is even at the Golden Core Stage, with the Five Great Families protected by spiritual arrays; just like that, they're gone?"

In the corner, a low-realm cultivator spoke: "Most of the people from the City Lord's Mansion and the Five Great Families went to Rumeng Island; only the Long Family had people left behind, but they also ran away later."

Li Lingbi revealed a cold smile: "Isn't that too coincidental?"

Normally speaking, with Xuanxin City's scale and strength, even if the flood dragon broke free, it wouldn't become like this.

With so many cultivators and Loose Cultivators, even if their realms were low, united they were still formidable.

How could it be like now, the city destroyed and people fled?

The whole thing inside and out exudes a strange flavor.

Based on the information obtained so far, the City Lord's Mansion and the other four families brought a large number of Xiuxian Zhe to Rumeng Island; just at this time, the Sea Bottom Dragon Vein was slain by the Yellow Spring Alliance.

Then it triggered a chain of reactions, such as the flood dragon breaking free and various parties fleeing.

Overall, it feels like Xuanxin City was deliberately abandoned by these people.

Xu Zhangqing thought to himself: "Not right!"
