Protagonist:

Xu Changqing

Ten out of ten, there's twelve out of ten something wrong!

Xu Changqing immediately became alert, then silently walked behind Qin Baili and Li Lingbi, only then letting out a breath of relief.

Following that, no matter what the surrounding people said, he couldn't be bothered to pay attention anymore.

His attention remained gathered on the surroundings, constantly on guard against something.

If there was even the slightest bit wrong, over a hundred Spirit Talismans and a dozen or so Spirit Tools would activate in an instant.

If possible, he even wanted to find an opportunity to leave.

Right at this moment, a droning sound came from the sky.

Listening to it, it seemed something was approaching.

"Burning Heaven Palanquin?"

"First Quarter Moon Ship?"

"Disciples of the Longhu Immortal Sect and the Inviting Moon Immortal Sect have arrived!"

The widely knowledgeable Qin Baili recognized the approaching things at a glance.

The others, upon hearing they were disciples of the other two Great Immortal Sects, instantly grew interested.

Blazing light soared in the east; nine sturdy blood steeds pulled a burning fire palanquin treading through the air, atop which were Longhu Immortal Sect disciples.

Silver light flickered in the west; a Moon Ship emanating a clear, cold aura drifted over lightly just like that, atop which were Inviting Moon Immortal Sect female disciples.

"Hahaha!"

Qin Baili laughed heartily: "Isn't this Zhao Lie, Su Ningshuang?"

Zhao Lie, Golden Core Perfection.

Longhu Immortal Sect Core Disciple, ranked second.

Three meters tall, broad-shouldered and thick-backed, eyes cold as Cold Iron.

Wearing a set of Xuan Iron Scale Armor, the armor plates engraved full of Suppression Runes, a half-severed Chi Hong Long Blade hung at his waist, his whole body emitting an unapproachable aura.

Crouched at his side was a massive black tiger, its gaze equally cold and sharp.

Su Ningshuang, Golden Core Late Stage.

Inviting Moon Immortal Sect Core Disciple, ranked seventh.

Because she originated from a Mortal Dynasty, she was known as the Seventh Princess.

White clothes surpassing snow, green hair like a waterfall.

A bright Moonlight Hairpin inserted in her hair, a faint silver Crescent Moon Mark on her brow.

Her character was cold and lofty, distant from human feelings.

She had no pet, but rather held a Chan Chen in her arms.

Zhao Lie said expressionlessly: "As expected, when it comes to seizing opportunities, your Dongting Immortal Sect is forever the fastest."

Su Ningshuang lightly nodded her head, unknown whether in agreement or in greeting.

Qin Baili waved his hand: "Where, where, we just arrived not long ago."

Zhao Lie led the Longhu Immortal Sect disciples behind him to land, sweeping the surroundings with sharp gaze; seeing the entire Xuanxin City already dilapidated beyond measure, his brows instantly furrowed: "Where are the City Lord's Mansion and the Five Great Families?"

Su Ningshuang followed closely behind, landing and likewise observing the four directions, appearing very vigilant.

Qin Baili replied: "The City Lord's Mansion and Five Great Families all fled; now only a small number of survivors remain."

Zhao Lie's face darkened upon hearing this: "Courting death!"

Su Ningshuang finally spoke, her voice clear and cold as she asked: "Presumably those matters, you two Dao Friends both know, right?"

Qin Baili slightly nodded: "Us, aren't we all here because of the Huang Quan Alliance?"

Hearing the three words "Huang Quan Alliance".

The surrounding people's reactions varied.

Xu Changqing looked toward Ji Mingxuan and the other survivors, discovering their reactions were very strange.

The Danjia living here looked quite bewildered; this is the normal reaction.

But the other few low-realm cultivators instead revealed a trace of terror.

Logically speaking, they shouldn't be able to contact such things; after all, they lack the qualifications and strength.

At this time, Su Ningshuang said seriously: "With the Dragon Vein dead, the Canglan Sea Region becomes a source of Evil Water; all kinds of Spiritual Treasures, Water Demons, Sea Monsters, even Demonic Beasts will emerge.

Unknown what the Longhu Immortal Sect and Dongting Immortal Sect intend?"

Xu Changqing heard this and recovered from his shock, thinking secretly: "So it's about dividing territory now?"

Zhao Lie didn't speak, but looked at Qin Baili, his pupils flashing slightly.

Qin Baili said with a light laugh: "Dongting's meaning is, in a few more years the Thousand Sects Dharma Assembly will begin; why not make this place a trial ground."

Zhao Lie slightly nodded: "Our Longhu Immortal Sect thinks the same."

Su Ningshuang's willow brows lightly raised, a suspicious look appearing on her face: "Your Dongting Immortal Sect and Longhu Immortal Sect want to pull other cultivation forces in to jointly operate the Canglan Sea Region?"

Qin Baili and Zhao Lie glanced at each other, then simultaneously nodded: "Correct."

Xu Changqing pondered: "With such huge benefits, the Three Great Immortal Sects' high levels definitely communicated in private; still having disciples come out to wrangle, probably wanting to see whose disciples can kill out real results."

It is both a test and establishing prestige.

The winners not only get benefits, but can also establish prestige among peers.

Losing is just right for tempering one's character, saving future stumbles.

After all, the several Core Disciples present are pillars of the Immortal Sect, and may become future High Levels.

Moreover, Xu Zhangqing discovered something.

The first batch to come here were either the Sword Path's number one genius of Dongting Immortal Sect,

or fierce men like Zhao Lie who look skilled at slaughter at a glance.

Or existences like Su Ningshuang who are cold and unfeeling.

If you call it a coincidence, that's too coincidental; it feels intentional.

Next, Qin Baili, Zhao Lie, and Su Ningshuang continued their exchange.

Disciples of the other two Great Immortal Sects scattered in all directions, beginning exploration and investigation.

Li Lingbi brought Chu Qiu, Xu Zhangqing, Han Xin, and Xuan Cang, five people heading toward the City Lord's Mansion.

Originally Ji Mingxuan wanted to come along, the reason being very simple: he had stayed here the longest and was also an eyewitness to the whole matter.

But Xu Zhangqing, citing danger, refused the other's kindness of leading the way.

Chu Qiu chuckled: "Junior Brother Xu, are you worried about Juling Abyss?"

Xu Zhangqing helplessly said: "Does worrying help?"

Given the current situation in the Canglan Sea Region, Juling Abyss and the Mermaid Princess will both leave him.

Fortunately, the hundred-year fishing rights to Juling Abyss were given by others, and the Water Spirit Fruit for the Mermaid Princess was accidentally picked up.

Li Lingbi speculated: "Juling Abyss is the place in the Canglan Sea Region that produces the most Spiritual Treasures; now that this place has become the source of Evil Water, treasures will become even richer."

"But whatever is yours, we still have to fight for it."

Xu Zhangqing hastily cupped his hands: "Thank you, Senior Brother Lingbi!"

Not long after, everyone arrived at Jiao Nest District.

On the left side was Zhenjiao Tower.

On the right side was the City Lord's Mansion.

However, they had already been severely destroyed.

Zhenjiao Tower was first split in two, then destroyed by a Jiao Dragon, and now lies in ruins.

As for the City Lord's Mansion, it was even more shocking.

It looked like the Jiao Dragon was venting its anger, almost razing this place to the ground.

Seeing this, everyone could only first go to the gap on the left side of Zhenjiao Tower, then look downward.

Directly below, namely the original position where the Jiao Dragon was suppressed and imprisoned, seemed to be a well.

The water was ink-green, looking quite disgusting.

Even though the Jiao Dragon had already left, it still emitted a cold and sinister aura.

Han Xin observed while analyzing: "Xuanxin City's feng shui has been severely damaged, and the key lies precisely in this Zhenjiao Tower."

Xu Zhangqing felt regret: "Once there was a Jiao Dragon very close to me; I lived above, it lived below, what a pity I missed it!"
