Cultivation begins in Qingfeng Market.

Youlian Zhenjun raised her hand and tore open the void, rushing towards the direction of Longyuan Immortal City.

Although the strength of Longyuan Immortal City was greatly reduced, the true body of Longyuan Zhenjun did not perish. He came out of seclusion and personally took charge of Longyuan Immortal City, summoning the remaining four Nascent Soul cultivators to discuss matters and appease the various forces in the city.

The order in the immortal city was barely stabilized.

When True Lord Youlian arrived above the Immortal City, she was once again filled with panic.

She made no attempt to be discreet—the power of a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator was like a dark cloud pressing down on the city, and the entire city's protective array automatically activated to its highest level.

True Monarch Youlian is a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, wielding a fifth-tier spiritual treasure; even ordinary peak Nascent Soul cultivators are no match for her.

Who wouldn't panic if such a terrifying figure suddenly appeared?

Not to mention Dragon Abyss Immortal City, which had just lost two Nascent Soul cultivators.

In the end, True Monarch Longyuan personally stepped forward, bringing with him a late-stage Nascent Soul Dharma Body to meet him.

Youlian Zhenjun glanced at the "Dharma Body".

This is hardly a Dharma body; it's clearly a puppet at the late Nascent Soul stage, probably one of the foundations of Dragon Abyss Immortal City.

Normally, True Monarch Youlian would inevitably try to get some freebies, at least a few fourth-tier spiritual items, but she wasn't in the mood right now.

She chatted briefly, explaining her purpose—she was just there to pick someone up and would be leaving soon.

Lord Longyuan readily agreed, his attitude extremely polite.

He knew, of course, that the loss of two Nascent Soul cultivators and four Dharma Bodies in Dragon Abyss Immortal City was inextricably linked to the Nine Nether Demon Sect.

But he was no match for them, and what could he do but swallow his pride and suffer in silence?

With a flash, Youlian Zhenjun landed directly in front of Lin Zhao and the other two. Upon seeing Youlian Zhenjun, the three of them bowed simultaneously.

True Monarch Tianqing and True Monarch Xuanyang had already returned directly to their sect, completely ignoring them—the defeat on the Void Battlefield had left them in no mood to come and fetch their juniors.

In the current endless sea of ​​demons, no one can stop True Monarch Youlian. Fortunately, she is not so petty as to bother with a few juniors.

Over tens of thousands of years of struggle among the various overlords, there are some unwritten agreements: important figures and core disciples of the overlord forces are generally not killed.

Just like the Heavenly Demon True Monarch before, if he used his full power in the void, he could at least keep one or two of the three of Tian Qing, You Lian, and Xuan Yang alive, and he could also get one or two fifth-order spiritual treasures along the way.

But he didn't, not because he couldn't, but because he didn't know how to do it.

If he were to actually do that, it would cause a huge commotion. He would then face not only the previous generation of Heavenly Demon True Monarch, but also the combined siege of several dominant forces.

Youlian Zhenjun grabbed Bai Jing and held her in her hand. Then she turned to Lin Zhao and Tian Hao with a smile and said something surprising: "What do you two think of my junior? Are you interested in becoming her Daoist partners?"

Lin Zhao and Tian Hao exchanged a glance and shook their heads simultaneously.

Bai Jing forcefully shook off her arm and snapped, "You old woman, if you want a man, go find one yourself, don't make fun of me!"

Youlian Zhenjun wasn't angry, but sighed with some regret: "What a pity, you girl, you have no taste."

She flipped her hand and took out a palm-sized token, which was completely black. The front was engraved with the character "幽" (you), and the back was the symbol of the Nine Nether Demon Sect—a vortex pattern formed by nine swirling demonic energies.

She casually tossed the token, which flew in an arc and landed in Lin Zhao's hand.

"Come visit my Nine Nether Demon Sect when you have time. With this token, the ordinary cultivators there won't dare to make things difficult for you."

Two hundred years from now, our sect's once-in-a-millennium Nine Netherworld Sacred Banquet will be held. You'll probably be qualified to attend then, and this token will save you a lot of trouble.

Lin Zhao looked at the token in his hand, unsure whether to accept it or not.

Although the Nine Nether Demon Sect and the Cloud Sea Azure Sea Sect are not exactly mortal enemies, they are certainly not friendly either.

Lord Youlian nodded in satisfaction.

The Nine Nether Demon Sect doesn't get along well with other dominant forces, but the Cloud Sea Azure Sea Sect generally remains neutral and there's no need to offend them.

Having more friends means having more options. Even if someone is just a Nascent Soul cultivator, who knows where they'll stand in a few hundred years?

Finally, as if she had just remembered something, she casually added, "Don't come for the next hundred years or so; the Nine Nether Demon Sect is not at peace."

Bai Jing immediately pressed for details.

Youlian Zhenjun briefly explained the matter of Tianmo Zhenjun taking Hou away, as well as the grudges between the two generations of Tianmo Zhenjun.

She didn't hide the fact that Lin Zhao and Tian Hao were listening nearby, because this matter wasn't exactly a secret.

As for the internal war within the Nine Nether Demon Sect, expecting demonic cultivators to keep it a secret is a naive and laughable idea.

Bai Jing felt a chill run down her spine.

The Heavenly Demon lineage's combat style of manipulating minds and wills is too bizarre, and its impact is extremely wide.

Once the two generations of Heavenly Demon True Monarchs start fighting, countless cultivators will be drawn in, and she doesn't want to stay in the sect and become cannon fodder.

Youlian Zhenjun shared the same idea, planning to take her away to avoid the limelight and return once things had settled down.

Before leaving, True Lord Youlian turned around and said to Lin Zhao, "Give my regards to True Lord Qingyuan."

Lin Zhao nodded in agreement.

If the Heavenly Demon True Monarch's previous strength was enough to compete for a top-three position in the Nascent Soul stage, now he is even comparable to a true Deity Transformation cultivator.

No one regarded Qingyuan Zhenjun as a Nascent Soul cultivator at all.

It's all over the place. It's all over the place.

For a period of time afterward, Dragon Abyss Immortal City was in quite a state of chaos.

The power structure within the Immortal City has undergone a major reshuffle—the industries, territories, and manpower left behind by the two fallen Nascent Soul cultivators all need to be redistributed.

With True Lord Longyuan personally overseeing the proceedings, the ownership of each fourth-tier spiritual vein, the management rights of each market town, and the profits of each merchant caravan all affected the interests of various parties.

Tianhao was also busy with his own affairs—as the Holy Son of the Tianlu Divine Sect, the intelligence he had gathered in this incident, the connections he had established, and his experience in the Nascent Soul Battle were all extremely valuable political capital that could solidify his status as the Holy Son of the Tianlu Divine Sect.

Lin Zhao was happy to have some free time, and six months later, he finally chose a suitable location.

He left Dragon Abyss Immortal City silently and came to the sea area where he had once encountered True Monarch Gray Owl.

The red coral reef that once covered hundreds of miles has completely disappeared; this is where True Lord Gray Owl set up the Heavenly Wrath trap.

Back then, the Mitian Alliance used the ruins of the treasure ship as bait to attract dozens of Core Formation cultivators to come and explore. In the end, all of them were secretly controlled and became puppets of the Mitian Alliance.

Later, the Nascent Soul True Monarch of the Myriad Laws Alliance came to investigate and completely destroyed the place—the coral reef was uprooted, the underwater mountain range was shattered with a single palm strike, and even the remaining fragments of the restrictions were cleaned up.

Not a single spirit stone or spirit vein remained on the sea.

The surrounding area was deserted, and the nearest settlement of alien races had been completely wiped out by the Alliance of Ten Thousand Laws.

Well, this is definitely Biluo Island's style of doing things.
