"grandfather."

"Master."

"Master of the house."

"Fellow Daoist Ku Rong".

Xu Deyue, Xu Deling, Ye Fan, and Chen Changge all extended their greetings to him.

"Now that everyone is here, let's go to the East Gate to welcome the guests from the Tiancang Sect. The gates of our Yunxi City can't withstand their repeated knocking."

Xu Deling and the others felt a chill run down their spines.

Ye Fan asked, "Master, will the people from the Heavenly Cang Sect really come today?"

"Yes, and quite a few will come."

Xu Chuan looked at the three True Monarchs of the Blazing Sun, "If you three fellow Daoists do not wish to get involved, how about you stand aside and watch, and support us?"

True Lord Lieyang smiled and nodded, "We will listen to Fellow Daoist Kurong."

That was what they meant too.

Unless Yunxi City is truly facing a great calamity, they do not want to get too deeply involved in the struggles of Tiancang Prefecture.

After saying this, more than ten streaks of light flew towards the East District.

The East Gate is located near the Tiancang Mountains and is the only way to enter Yunxi City from the direction of the Tiancang Sect.

Xu Chuan led his entourage to the scene, hovering in mid-air about a mile outside the eastern city. They stood silently, their robes fluttering slightly in the wind, as if they were simply waiting for ordinary guests.

Besides the approaching Tiancang Sect members, the Mo and Lei families also knew that turmoil was about to occur in Yunxi City, and they all used their escape techniques to rush over here.

"Just now it was True Monarch Ku Rong and True Monarch Lie Yang, more than ten Golden Core cultivators came out, could it be that something big has happened?"

"Go and see?"

"That's exactly what I was thinking, fellow Daoist, let's go together."

Many Yunxi City cultivators who noticed Xu Chuan and his group also went out of the city to watch out of curiosity.

suddenly.

Two streaks of light landed on a nearby mountain, revealing the figures of the Mo family patriarch and Mo Wenshang.

Xu Chuan sensed something, glanced in that direction, but then quickly looked away.

soon.

A bold and unrestrained bolt of lightning swept across the opposite side of the nearby mountains.

Electric snakes faintly slithered around his body; he was none other than Lei Wuji of the Lei family!
After half a stick of incense.

At the edge of the sky.

Ten beams of light, each a different color and sharp in their own right, burst through the clouds, carrying immense pressure and a chilling aura. In an instant, they approached the eastern outskirts of Yunxi City.

The light suddenly stopped, hovering hundreds of feet away from Xu Chuan and the others.

As the light dissipated, ten Golden Core elders of the Tiancang Sect appeared, led by Sect Chairman Feng Yue, Grand Elder Qingmu Zhenjun, and Bingqian Zhenjun.

The two sides faced each other in mid-air, as if their invisible auras were clashing.

Aoki Shinjun sat in the center and glanced at the Mo and Lei families on either side.

"True Lord Lei Ji, Senior Mo, why have you come here?"

"Fellow Daoist Qingmu, please don't mind us. My Mo family is just here to join in the fun. There's no need for us to pay attention to you."

"My Lei family is one too," Lei Wuji laughed heartily.

"You'd better keep your word!" Bingqian Zhenjun said coldly.

Immediately afterwards, Xu Chuan spoke with a faint smile, "Fellow Daoists of the Tiancang Sect, I have been waiting here for a long time. Your presence truly brings honor to my humble Yunxi City."

Xi Fengyue glanced at the person opposite him, his gaze falling on Chen Changge, his pupils shrinking slightly. "Elder Chen, your injuries have indeed healed. Now that you're better, why don't you return to the sect?"

Chen Changge said, "I have already died once for the Tiancang Sect, so I can say that I have repaid the debt of gratitude."

"Today, I, Chen, hereby publicly announce that I am withdrawing from the Tiancang Sect and will henceforth serve as a guest elder of the Xu family and the deputy city lord of Yunxi City!"

The sound roared like thunder, quickly spreading for hundreds of miles around.

Countless people are discussing it.

"Chen Changge has actually left the Tiancang Sect? How could the Tiancang Sect let him go so easily!"

"Didn't you see that quite a few elders from the Heavenly Cang Sect have come? It must be for this matter."

"Let's go, let's go check out the East Gate!"

Many cultivators in the city were discussing the matter and all rushed towards the city gate.

It is human nature to look at the Eight Trigrams, and even those who cultivate immortality are human.

As for the crowd that had gathered at the East Gate, who had already sensed something was amiss, they all looked on in astonishment.

Someone praised, "As expected of True Monarch Ku Rong, the number one person below the Nascent Soul stage, he actually dared to openly provoke the Heavenly Azure Sect!"

Some people shook their heads and sighed, "It seems things are going to be difficult today!"

Some people were also curious, "I wonder how Yunxi City compares to Tiancang Sect in terms of strength now?"

"Judging from their aura, there are five cultivators at the late Golden Core stage or above on the other side, while Yunxi City only has True Monarch Lieyang and True Monarch Yanzhen."

"The strength of a cultivator is not determined by their realm. Don't forget the True Monarch Ku Rong. In the battle between the two palaces, he single-handedly fought against two True Monarchs of the Greedy Wolf Palace who had reached the Golden Core stage."

I think the outcome of today's match is unpredictable!

Elder Zhao, the Hall Master of the Punishment Hall, dressed in black robes, shouted sternly, "Chen Changge, how dare you! Today we will capture you, cripple your cultivation, and take you back to the Xuanbing Cave to suffer a hundred years of ice torture!"

True Lord Kuru, if you know what's good for you, hand it over willingly; otherwise…

"Otherwise what?" Ye Fan, dressed in a blue robe, stepped forward beside Xu Chuan, his face cold and stern, interrupting Elder Zhao's words.

Although his cultivation was slightly inferior, he was composed and unyielding.

"As far as I know, when Fellow Daoist Chen was critically injured and on the verge of death, your sect's True Lord Qingmu said that there was no way to save him and almost gave up."

Now that my master has miraculously saved his life at great cost, Fellow Daoist Chen is grateful for his kindness and has voluntarily come to join me. This is perfectly reasonable and he has no crime whatsoever.
If your clan cannot save him, does that mean others are not allowed to? If he is saved, is it tantamount to being a traitor to seek repayment?

"There's no such logic in the world!"

Ye Fan's words were sharp and to the point.

"Insolence!" Elder Yang of the Tiancang Sect angrily rebuked, "How can a mere child know the rules of the sect? Chen Changge is supported by our sect, and his life, death, or fate is to be decided by the sect!"
To switch allegiance to another sect without permission is treason!

This is a consensus!

True Lord Ku Rong, you have taken in a traitor of my sect without authorization. This is clearly a contempt for the laws of my Tiancang Sect and a provocation against the dignity of my sect!

"If you don't give us a satisfactory explanation today, don't blame us for enforcing our sect rules, capturing the traitor, and demanding an explanation from your Yunxi City!"

"Humph!"

Xu Deling also snorted coldly, his voice clear and melodious, and a phoenix-like aura burst forth, "This True Lord will see how you seek an explanation."
Fellow Daoist Chen wants to live, is that wrong?!
They can't even save people themselves, letting them die, yet they dare to spout such nonsense!
Does joining your Heavenly Azure Sect mean that everyone who joins is destined to be a servant of the Heavenly Azure Sect for life, with their life and death entirely at your disposal?!

"Stop talking nonsense!" Elder Zhao roared. "What rule has our Heavenly Azure Sect ever had? Don't tarnish the reputation of our Heavenly Azure Sect!"

If we admit it today, I'm afraid no one will be willing to join the Heavenly Azure Sect in the future.

Even the disciples within the sect today are prone to causing riots.

"Shut up!" True Monarch Qingmu immediately scolded Elder Zhao, then looked at Xu Deling and said, "It seems that Fairy Phoenix Feather has now mastered her supernatural powers. She truly deserves to be the number one prodigy of the previous generation."

I would like to offer my congratulations in advance.

The remaining members of the Tiancang Sect all changed their expressions.

Then, True Monarch Qingmu added, "But Fairy Phoenix Feather was wrong. Those who join the Heavenly Cang Sect are not bound to it for life."

If one's heart is not in the sect, keeping them around will only bring trouble.

But Elder Zhao wasn't wrong. Sects and aristocratic families all have their own rules and regulations. To switch to another sect without permission is tantamount to betraying one's sect!
Fellow Daoist Lei Ji, Senior Mo, what do you think?

What would happen if such people appeared in either of your families?

Lei Wuji laughed heartily, "Of course not!"

"My Mo family will not tolerate this either," Mo Wentian said calmly.

"Fellow Daoist Kurong, what will your Xu family do in the face of this matter?"

Aoki Shinjun stared intently at Xu Chuan.

His remarks, a strategic retreat to force the Xu family to admit their mistakes through the words of others, were far more sophisticated than those of the rest of the Tiancang Sect.

Xu Chuan smiled faintly, "Fellow Daoist Chen had not withdrawn before. Now that Fellow Daoist Qingmu, the Grand Elder, and Sect Master Xi have come, he just applied to withdraw from the Tiancang Sect in front of you."

Do you two agree?

The expressions of the Tiancang Sect members changed slightly, while Ye Fan and the others smiled and echoed, "That's right, Elder Chen was only temporarily staying in Yunxi City to recuperate from his injuries."

Today, he formally submitted his application to withdraw from the sect. The elders are all reasonable; surely they won't disagree?

Xi Fengyue gritted his teeth and said, "That's just sophistry!"

"Chen Changge never seemed like he was going to apply to leave the sect before!"

"Sect Master Xi, you are being a bit unreasonable. Fellow Daoist Chen is a Golden Core cultivator. Does he expect you to kneel before him and beg him to withdraw?"
Are the other Golden Core elders of your Tai Tian Cang Sect also of such lowly and insignificant status?

If that's the case, you might as well withdraw and join my Xu family.

My Xu family has a great thirst for cultivators at the Golden Core stage.

"My Mo family is one of them."

"My Lei family is one of them."

Both families acted as troublemakers.

"You guys!" Xi Fengyue pointed at Xu Chuan in anger, his whole body trembling slightly.

True Monarch Qingmu sighed softly, "Fellow Daoist Kurong, why make things so complicated? My Tiancang Sect once protected your Xu family, so we should be grateful to you, right?"

"During the war between the two prefectures, where did you find protection?" Xu Chuan said calmly, "That battle made me realize that only one's own strength can be relied upon."

If we had waited for someone else to protect us, my Xu family would probably have been wiped out long ago.

Moreover, Xu killed more than a dozen Golden Core cultivators from the Greedy Wolf Mansion during the battle between the two mansions. This merit should be enough to offset the small favor owed to him.

Fellow Daoist Aoki, what do you think?

"Fellow Daoist Kurong, are you determined to fight against my Heavenly Azure Sect?"

"It is the Tiancang Sect that is determined to make things difficult for my Yunxi City. Last time, the Chen family merely moved their clan to my Yunxi City, and True Monarch Bingqian came to question them!"
Now that Fellow Daoist Chen wants to leave the Tiancang Sect and join my Xu family, you have even led a group of elders here.

Two Golden Core Perfection True Monarchs, three Golden Core Late Stage True Monarchs, and five Golden Core Early and Middle Stage True Monarchs.

Fellow Daoist Qingmu, let me ask you, isn't this lineup enough to wipe out a top-tier Golden Core family?
"Do you intend to destroy my Yunxi City?"

Xu Chuan's voice grew increasingly heavy, and the oppressive aura emanating from his body became even more intense.

"If you retreat now, our two families can still live in peace as before; otherwise, Yunxi City will fight to the bitter end!"

"Can we really go back to the way things were?" True Monarch Qingmu chuckled awkwardly, his eyes gradually turning cold. "Speaking of which, I have fought alongside Fellow Daoist Kurong many times, but we have never actually clashed."

"How about I, Fellow Daoist Kurong, experience your extraordinary abilities today!"

Qingmu Zhenjun flew towards Xu Chuan. His magical power began to surge violently, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth around him faintly converged towards him. Thousands of illusory images of grass and trees floated behind him.

This is the Myriad Wood Divine Power that made him famous. Although it has not yet reached perfection, its ability to draw upon the spiritual energy of wood in the world and to generate and diminish it is enough to make cultivators of the same level wary.

Xu Chuan raised his hand, and Ye Fan and the others all retreated.

Countless vines, like dragons and snakes, coiled around the opposite side, each one brimming with vitality.

Upon seeing this, Lei Wuji's gaze sharpened. Last time he fought against True Monarch Qingmu, he was defeated by this ever-flowing artistic conception.

"The flourishing and withering of plants depends on a single thought of Xu."

"Desolate!"

A desolate Daoist aura swept out from Xu Chuan, and the originally lush and vibrant spiritual vines lost their luster at a visible speed.

It turned gray and shriveled, then broke apart inch by inch, turning into ashes.

They couldn't even get close to Xu Chuan!
The elders of the Tiancang Sect immediately changed their expressions.

Mo Wentian's gaze narrowed slightly, and he said calmly, "The ancient withering and flourishing divine power is indeed worthy of its reputation, far surpassing ordinary wood-type divine powers."

"Fellow Daoist Qingmu, your Myriad Wood Divine Power is completely countered by the Withering and Flourishing Intent!"

Aoki Shinjun frowned deeply, his fingers forming a sword shape as he pointed in mid-air.

In an instant, countless green wooden swords materialized out of thin air, transforming into a rain of azure swords that swept towards Xu Chuan with a sharp, piercing sound, like a river hanging upside down!

Wherever the rain of swords passed, the air seemed to be tinged with a bluish-green hue.

However, when these sword rains approached within tens of feet of Xu Chuan, their azure color gradually turned yellow and lost its vitality, only managing not to completely dissipate thanks to wisps of sword energy.

The remaining withered yellow sword energy continued to shoot towards Xu Chuan.

Xu Chuan flicked his sleeve, and a burst of azure light erupted, shattering all the sword energy!
"I see. The withering and flourishing conception is indeed very effective against wood-type magical abilities, but if it is not a pure wood-type magical ability, such as one mixed with sword energy, it will be difficult to be completely effective."

Mo Wentian stroked his beard and smiled faintly, commenting, "But even so, all your supernatural powers are based on the wood element. Without this foundation, the power of your supernatural powers would be greatly reduced."

This is still very disadvantageous for you.

Aoki Shinjun himself was certainly aware of this.

Now that things have come to this point, he naturally won't hold back. With a flick of his wrist, his natal magic weapon, the "Ten Thousand Wood Ruler," appears in his hand.

It is about four feet long, and its entire body is emerald green like warm jade that has been around for ten thousand years. Its surface is covered with countless mysterious wood-related spiritual patterns.

As the ruler shimmered with emerald light, he flicked it, and countless emerald rays appeared out of thin air, forming a torrent that swept towards Xu Chuan.

Xu Chuan patted his storage bag, and a beam of dark light shot out, instantly growing to several meters in size, blocking his way.

This is the superior-grade magic treasure, the "Double Profound Seal"!
Driven by Xu Chuan, it unleashed a powerful aura as majestic as the Three Mountains and Five Peaks.

The torrent of water seemed to crash into a thick mountain wall, only able to gently shake it.

"town!"

Xu Chuan made a hand seal, unleashing his sealing power.

All the measuring tools seemed to sink into the quagmire, their power greatly diminished.

Then he activated the "Double Profound Seal" and smashed it fiercely, directly shattering the entire torrent of foot-long beams. Countless beams of light turned into emerald light spots and dissipated into the air. "Something's not right. How could you possibly unleash a high-grade magic weapon to this extent!" True Monarch Qingmu stopped attacking and asked with a frown.

Not only him, but also Bingqian Zhenjun, Xi Fengyue and the others were all shocked.

It should be noted that the most famous and powerful magic weapon of the Kuru Zhenjun is the Azure Dragon Sword Formation activated by the Azure Dragon Umbrella, but now he has easily defeated the Qingmu Zhenjun with just the "Chongxuan Seal".

Although the Dao of Withering and Flourishing restrains its supernatural powers, the difference in their magical strength is enormous. It is impossible for someone at the early stage of the Golden Core realm to unleash such power from a high-grade magic weapon.

Mo Wentian swept his divine sense across the area and immediately looked on incredulously, "Golden Core Perfection?"

"No, your cultivation level is definitely at the early stage of the Golden Core realm!"

His eyes flickered slightly. "A Golden Core stage early level, with the foundation of a Golden Core perfection. It seems that Fellow Daoist Kurong has obtained considerable opportunities and good fortune in the past few years!"

Those present were all shocked upon hearing this.

"I heard that when True Lord Ku Rong fought against the Nie and Chao families of the Tanlang Mansion last time, he was at a disadvantage because of his lack of magical power. Now, he is making up for his last weakness."

No wonder he was able to gain the upper hand so easily when facing Aoki Shinjun.

"He truly deserves the title of the number one person below the Nascent Soul stage!"

Aoki Shinjun's face turned ashen.

Now that Xu Chuan has fully matured, even a Golden Core cultivator who has perfected their supernatural abilities and possesses a high-grade magic weapon would probably be no better than Xu Chuan.

But what he didn't know was that Xu Chuan's supernatural powers had already reached perfection.

Due to his greatly improved spiritual cultivation, he was even able to unleash the full power of the Azure Dragon Sword Formation.

According to Zhenyangzi, who originally crafted this magical artifact, very few people at the Golden Core stage could unleash its full power.

If one can utilize 70-80% of their full potential, they can dominate the Golden Core stage and have few rivals.

"Senior brother, I'm here to help you!" A cold shout rang out, and Bingqian Zhenjun, who could no longer hold back, took a step forward, and his body suddenly erupted with cold energy.

His face was as cold and stern as ancient ice, and his long, icy blue hair flew wildly.

As soon as it appeared, the surrounding temperature dropped sharply, and countless tiny ice crystals condensed in the air.

Aoki Shinjun looked at him, nodded, and did not refuse.

Xu Chuan was no longer someone he could handle alone.

A flash of blue light appeared in Binggan Zhenjun's hand, and his natal high-grade magic weapon, the "Mysterious Ice Soul-Slaying Sword," appeared in his hand, adding even more to its extreme coldness.

Xu Chuan flipped his right hand, and the Azure Dragon Umbrella appeared in his hand as well. The umbrella opened, and a dark blue light curtain descended.

With this defensive light barrier in place, even if the two of them attack at full strength, they can withstand it for more than a quarter of an hour.

Xu Chuan, of course, would not simply defend without attacking.

"cut!"

Bingqian Zhenjun suddenly brandished the "Mysterious Ice Soul-Slaying Sword," and a sword beam of ice-blue light, several dozen feet long, descended upon Xu Chuan.

Aoki Shinjun once again activated the "Myriad Wood Ruler" and launched an attack from the other side.

While manipulating the "Chongxuan Seal" to block the icy blue sword light, Xu Chuan flicked his fingers, and all the flying swords flew out from the ribs of the Azure Dragon Umbrella.

The flying swords created countless torrents of sword energy, which collided with the torrents of sword energy.

However, within the torrent of sword energy were twenty-eight magical flying swords, whose power far surpassed that of others. Even without forming a sword formation, they were not something that ordinary high-grade magical treasures could withstand.

The three were locked in fierce combat, their ferocious attacks causing the surrounding space to tremble. The energy aftershocks from their countless collisions spread out like ripples.

"Make your move!" Xi Fengyue immediately ordered upon seeing this.

"Yes!"

The seven Golden Core elders, led by Elder Zhao of the Punishment Hall, responded in unison.

Each of them wielded their magical weapons, transforming into several streaks of light that charged menacingly towards Ye Fan, Xu Deling, and Xu Deyue!

Ye Fan's gaze sharpened, and his fighting spirit suddenly erupted!
His skin glowed with a faint golden light, his muscles bulged like a dragon, and a powerful aura, like that of a savage beast, emanated from his body.

He took a step forward, causing the air to explode, as he faced Feng Yue, the chairman of the Tiancang Sect.

"Sect Leader Xi, your opponent is me!"

Ye Fan's voice was deep and resonant. His right fist was clenched tightly, and his muscles and bones made popping sounds. Instantly, his entire arm was covered with a layer of dark golden Sanskrit characters, and faint sounds of Sanskrit chanting could be heard.

Upon seeing this, Xi Fengyue's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise and doubt, but he was not afraid. He coldly snorted, "Arrogant brat!"

The cyan magic sword in his hand unleashed a fierce sword aura, transforming into a ten-zhang-long streak that tore through the air and slashed straight at Ye Fan's head!
"Brahma Holy Fist, Three Forms Combined as One!"

Ye Fan neither dodged nor evaded, but let out a low roar and threw out his right fist. There was no dazzling light, only pure and extreme power and endless vigorous fighting spirit!

The dark gold fist imprint flew out of his hand, swelled in the wind, and resembled a golden mountain, crashing heavily into the cyan sword energy!

"boom--!"

Amidst a deafening roar, the azure sword energy shattered inch by inch!

Xi Fengyue was forced back several steps!

His eyes widened in horror: "This power... how is this possible?!"

Ye Fan's fighting spirit surged, like a god of war. His figure moved like lightning, closing in, and his fists pounded out like a storm, each punch powerful and heavy.

This forced Xi Fengyue, a cultivator who had just entered the late stage of the Golden Core realm, to repeatedly parry the attacks.

Ye Fan's physical body was incredibly strong. Occasionally, he would use his arm to parry the sword's edge, producing a metallic clang and sparks flying everywhere.

"Third-tier physical body!"

Ye Fan's dual cultivation of body and spirit was already widely known, but no one expected that he would quietly break through his physical body again, reaching the third level.

Even his mid-grade magic weapon could only leave bloody marks on his mana membrane and powerful physique, and could not cause him any significant damage in a short time.

As everyone knows, Ye Fan has only been in the Golden Core stage for less than a year.

At this moment, he was locked in a fierce battle with Xi Fengyue, who was in the late stage of the Golden Core realm. Even Mo Wentian, the Mo family patriarch who was in the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, had his pupils constricted and revealed a heavy expression.

Mo Wenshang, Lei Wuji, and the onlookers were even more incredulous.

Rong Tianyang murmured, "Ye Fan is actually no less capable than his master. He can fight against a late-stage Golden Core cultivator right after forming his core!"

"Indeed remarkable!" Yan Zhenzhen sighed, stroking his beard. "Cultivating both body and Dharma is indeed powerful!"

On the other side, Xu Deling let out a clear whistle, and flames shot into the sky behind him. A six- or seven-zhang-tall phantom of a fire phoenix suddenly unfolded, and its scorching aura swept in all directions!
Her eyes shimmered with crimson-gold light, transforming into two burning flames.

The air itself seemed to distort as far as the eye could see.

He was confronted by Elder Yang of the Tiancang Sect, the ninth level of the Golden Core stage, the strongest being below Qingmu Zhenjun and Bingqian Zhenjun.

Although Xu Deling had only just entered the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, she was completely unafraid.

With a flick of her jade hand, a crimson, blood-red, tail-feather-shaped magical artifact wreathed in pure flames shot out, transforming into a lifelike fire phoenix that cried out as it pounced toward Elder Yang!
This was crafted from a feather of the ancient true spirit fire phoenix obtained from the Heavenly Pride Gathering Grotto.

At the same time, a flash of fire appeared around her, and a phantom of a battle armor made of pure heavenly flames with flowing runes appeared!

Although not fully solidified, it already provides considerable protection.

Elder Yang's expression was solemn. He summoned a mid-grade magic weapon, a bronze ancient shield, to protect himself, and at the same time activated a jade whisk, which was also a mid-grade magic weapon.

The whisk's countless strands of dust transformed into a long, emerald river, winding around the Fire Phoenix and Xu Deling.

However, the Fire Phoenix True Fire was domineering, and the green dust was burned to ashes as soon as it got close.

As the Fire Emperor's True Eye swept over him, Elder Yang felt a burning pain in his soul, and his spellcasting became slightly sluggish.

Xu Deling moved nimbly, closing in under the cover of the fire phoenix. His feather magic weapon sometimes transformed into a sword and sometimes into a whip, his attacks were extremely fierce, forcing Elder Yang to defend more than he could attack.

"As expected of the previous generation's number one prodigy, he has already reached the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, and his cultivation speed has even surpassed that of his grandfather!"

Mo Wentian said calmly, "The Divine Ability Core Formation, the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, is comparable to the late-stage of the Golden Core realm in terms of both the quality and strength of its magical power. Xu Deling, with his outstanding talent, is even more exceptional."

"Big brother, has Xu Deling mastered her supernatural powers?"

"That's right, it's a pupil-type divine ability!"

Mo Wentian sighed softly, "With just her alone, no one in my Mo family at the Golden Core stage can deal with her!"

"There is another fairy, 'Cold Moon,' who is in no way inferior."

Mo Wentian's gaze then swept towards Xu Deyue.

She was facing Elder Zhao of the Punishment Hall—a cultivator at the eighth level of the Golden Core realm!

With a cool and aloof expression, she lightly raised her hand, and a stream of light, as bright as moonlight and as cold as a spring, flew out from her sleeve. It was her natal magic weapon—Taiyin!
Although this treasure has fallen in rank, its essence remains. With the assistance of its spirit, Murong Yun, Xu Deyue, even at the early stage of the Golden Core realm, can unleash its full power.

A hazy, illusory moon appeared behind Xu Deyue, its clear light spilling down and covering an area of ​​several dozen feet.

Elder Zhao brought out two mid-grade magic treasures: a blood-red chain and a black ruler.

However, as soon as he entered the range of the moonlight, his speed dropped sharply and his spiritual light dimmed, as if he were frozen and eroded by the moonlight!

With a light tap of her jade-like finger, Xu Deyue's flying sword, "Taiyin," transformed into a cold, sharp light, aiming straight for his dantian!
Elder Zhao was horrified and retreated hastily, clashing with the black ruler while simultaneously manipulating the blood-red chains, which transformed into a blood-red python that attacked Xu Deyue in a strange and cunning manner.

Xu Deyue patted his storage bag, and a light blue mirror flew out, circling around him.

The crimson python lunged forward, only to crash directly into a pale blue light barrier, producing a violent roar.

Then Xu Deyue flipped her wrist and slashed her sword fiercely at the blood-red python.

The crimson python was cleaved in two and transformed back into a chain-like magical artifact, its crimson aura slightly dimmed.

It's not surprising that Xu Deyue possesses a top-grade magic weapon, but the fact that she can unleash its full power is something Xu Chuan couldn't do before.

Mo Wentian, Lei Wuji, Lieyang Zhenjun, and the others were all filled with doubt.

Even a high-grade magic weapon may not be able to fully unleash its power, even for a late-stage Golden Core cultivator. Otherwise, if an early-stage Golden Core cultivator wielded a spiritual treasure, wouldn't they be able to easily kill a Nascent Soul cultivator?

Upon seeing this, the other five elders of the Tiancang Sect immediately sent two of them to attack Xu Deling and Xu Deyue.

The other three rushed towards Huoyun Zhenren, Qingya Zhenren, and Chen Changge.

Even without Lieyang Zhenjun and the others making a move, the seven people from Yunxi City held off the ten people from Tiancang Sect, a lineup that included almost all cultivators at the late Golden Core stage or above.

Of the entire Tiancang Sect, only Bai Yan and another late-stage Golden Core elder remained to guard the sect.

East gate.

Whether on the ground, in mid-air, or on the city walls, the cultivators from all sides who were watching the battle discussed it animatedly, and exclamations of amazement were heard everywhere.

"Incredible! Absolutely incredible!"

An old cultivator with white hair clapped his hands in amazement, his eyes filled with shock. "I thought that with the arrival of two Golden Core Perfection True Monarchs from the Heavenly Cang Sect, accompanied by eight elders, we would surely be able to overwhelm Yunxi City and capture Chen Changge with overwhelming force."

Who could have predicted this outcome!

Beside him, a middle-aged scholar-like cultivator kept his eyes fixed on the white-robed figure in the core battlefield who was fighting two opponents with composure.

"True Lord Ku Rong... truly worthy of being the number one person below the Nascent Soul stage in my Heavenly Cang Mansion! Even with True Lords Qing Mu and Bing Qian joining forces, they were unable to do anything to him."

Instead, they were subtly suppressed!

Such combat power, is it not comparable to the legendary Heavenly Demon Lord from the War of the Two Prefectures?

"Look at the other members of the Xu family!" someone pointed to other battle groups, their tone excited. "Ye Fan's fist technique is fierce and unparalleled, and he can actually contend head-on with Sect Master Xi, who is in the late stage of the Golden Core realm!"

There is also the "Phoenix Feather" fairy, whose fire phoenix bloodline is domineering and unparalleled, suppressing Elder Yang, who is at the ninth level of the Golden Core stage, and another elder at the early stage of the Golden Core stage!
The "Cold Moon" fairy was equally formidable, taking on two opponents at once.

The Xu family's foundation... is truly unfathomable!

"The Cangzong sect really lost face this time." A low but undisguised gloating voice came from the crowd.

"They came with such a large force, only to kick a hornet's nest. I think the Tiancang Sect will not only fail to capture the traitor and intimidate Yunxi City, but it's also questionable whether they can escape unscathed!"

“That’s right!” someone else said. “The three elders of the Tianling Sect may seem to be standing by, but if Yunxi City is really in danger, they will definitely not stand idly by.”

"That's obvious, everyone knows that Fairy Phoenix Feather is the Sect Master of the Heavenly Feather Sect!"

"Alas, I wonder what the situation will be like in Tiancang Prefecture after today's battle?" an old man with white hair sighed. "If another great battle breaks out, I estimate that many more of our comrades will perish."

In the distance, on the mountain peaks.

Mo Wentian, the patriarch of the Mo family, and Mo Wenshang stood side by side, their expressions no longer relaxed and playful, but instead deeply solemn.

"What do you think about the injury?" Mo Wentian transmitted his voice.

Mo Wenshang remained silent for a moment, then slowly exhaled: "Unexpectedly, if it weren't for the Tiancang Sect's visit today, I'm afraid no one would know that Yunxi City's foundation has reached such a level."

He looked at Mo Wentian and said, "Brother, if Ye Fan and Xu Deling both reach the late Golden Core stage and join forces with Xu Chuan, can you stop them?"

"This is tricky, unless I can get my hands on a top-tier magic weapon!"

On the other side, Lei Wuji's eyes gleamed with a shrewd light, and his rugged face showed a variety of expressions.

"The Xu family has developed too fast. In just twenty or thirty years, they are showing a trend of surpassing the Lei family's thousand-year accumulation. But today, because of Chen Changge, the foundation of Yunxi City has been exposed, which is a real blunder."

Judging from the wisdom of the True Lord of Withering and Flourishing, this should not have happened.

Could it be that they want to accelerate the changes in the situation in Tiancang Prefecture?!

To intimidate the Lei family, the Mo family, and other forces, and to lure a large number of people to join them?!

A few moments.

A thought arose in Lei Wuji's mind: "If my Lei family helps the Xu family control Tiancang Prefecture, can my Lei family enjoy hundreds of years of peace and stability, and one day produce a Nascent Soul cultivator?!"

The Lei family is the least likely of the four forces to control Tiancang Prefecture.

They lacked Nascent Soul cultivators like the Mo family, and had far more talented experts than the Xu family. Furthermore, they were far inferior to the Tiancang Sect in terms of resources.

"Perhaps, this is the most suitable path for the Lei family!"

Just now.
