Only after unifying the world did I realize that immortals existed in this world.

Chapter 108 Newcomers Arrive, But It's Like Drawing Water with a Bamboo Basket

As the sun sets, the tiger's fur trembles gently in the wind.

Xie Cangrong had other matters to attend to, so he left first.

Gong Qiao sat in her wheelchair, seemingly lost in thought.

"Cough cough cough~"

Ning Boxing seemed to have been forgotten. He coughed lightly twice and said, "Lord Gong, I haven't told you yet, have I? Let me tell you how I killed this tiger! Let me tell you—"

He spoke animatedly, trying to lighten the mood.

Logically speaking, Gong Qiao could have simply left with a cold face.

only----

Gong Qiao's eyes flickered, and she suddenly interrupted his rambling, asking, "General Ning, is horseback riding fun?"

Ning Boxing was taken aback, thought for a moment and said, "It's alright at first, but it gets boring after a while."

Is running fun?

"Um...it's alright."

Is jumping fun?

""

"Forehead----"

Is walking fun?

'

"Forehead----"

Her questions became increasingly bizarre, and Ning Boxing didn't know how to answer them.

These were clearly ordinary things, but when the girl brought them up, they seemed inexplicably sad.

She raised her hand, grasping at the distant setting sun, the translucent jade bracelet reflecting in her increasingly bright eyes: "General Ning, if my leg heals, will he like me?"

No matter how beautiful or capable a woman is, throughout history, no monarch has ever favored a sick woman.

But not long after, she was no longer one.

Bathed in the glow of the setting sun, the girl's face was breathtakingly beautiful under the gentle touch of the sunset.

Ning Boxing: ————

His brain, honed by muscle training, raced through the air and finally came up with what he considered the most suitable line: "Lord Gong, whether your leg is alright or not, His Majesty loves you."

"Cough cough————"

[At this point, I hope readers will remember our domain name: 20 ...

"Lord Gong, I just remembered something, so I'll have to go now. Farewell!"

Before Gong Qiao could respond, he fled as if he were escaping.

Gong Qiao didn't care about him; she just looked at the bracelet on her wrist and smiled faintly.

Xie Cangrong returned to the palace and gently spread his palm.

As if summoned, the imperial seal emerged from the ground and fell into the palm of the hand.

His consciousness rose, overlooking the entire Great Xia.

In Lieyang City, in addition to Lu Junfeng and his five other outsiders, Jing Lan and her group have also arrived. Zhou Xin is currently deploying the team, and several of Jing Lan's disciples will embark on their return journey tomorrow.

These people were all under his control.

only----

Just today, at the Ordnance Bureau, while he was chatting with Gong Qiao and Ning Boxing.

-

He sensed a new intruder.

This time, however, the direction was not the East Sea where the cultivators had been arriving one after another, but rather the distant West. There lay endless, towering mountains, and no one knew where they ended.

With the help of the imperial seal, he could locate the other party's position, which was extremely faint and weak, like a flickering candle in a strong wind, which would be extinguished if he was not careful.

He lowered his eyes and placed the jade seal on the ground.

He immediately called out, "Mr. Xu!"

"His Majesty!"

"you go----"

In the deep jungle, a white figure flashed by.

It moved forward at an incredible speed, leaving no trace. Only a few rays of light pierced through the gaps in the dappled leaves, barely illuminating its nimble figure for a fleeting moment.

It was a white wolf, its agile and nimble body leaping hundreds of feet in an instant, its bright white fur swaying lightly in the strong wind.

So hungry————

So tired————

So painful————

It has never fought so hard since it was born.

It was just running frantically, unaware of how far or how long it had been running.

As the sun and moon revolved, he had lost all sense of time.

All it knows is to run, all it knows is to survive.

It traversed the withered bone forest, a forbidden area of ​​the Demon Kingdom, bypassed a rushing river, crossed a meadow full of flowers, and ran through endless dense forests and high mountains. It dared not linger; in each new place, it seemed to sense some strong will observing it, as if hidden danger lurked within.

Fortunately, the magical artifact given to it by its master has been protecting it and supplying it with magical power—otherwise, it would not have been able to survive until now.

Passing through layers of dense forest, it seemed to have stumbled into a brand new world, a place that the ancestors of the Demon Kingdom had never reached before.

Vast and magnificent, profound and boundless.

With a leap, it burst out of the jungle and plunged off the cliff. Before it lay a vast, open plain, exuding an aura of tranquility and peace.

The refreshing air rushed into my body, but it also brought endless fatigue.

It seems safe here; no one will want to kill it anymore.

It finally couldn't hold on any longer and collapsed to the ground. In its dying moments, it only saw two somewhat bewildered human faces.

When the sun rises again the next day, everything will begin a new chapter.

Officials at the Ordnance Bureau noticed that their previously stern and unyielding leader seemed much more lenient and would even occasionally break into a smile.

The war ended. Although they had not contributed any power, at least no one was injured or killed. The Jinglan disciples boarded a cloud boat and, carrying the elders' mission, crossed the poisonous miasma of the Abyss Sea on their way home.

On the other side, in the four continents of immortals and demons.

"What should we do about Li Shanhai?"

"Our disciples are no match for that monster!"

The cloud boat hovered in the air, and a group of Taihua disciples had already cleaned up the mess left by the Demonic Sect and gathered in mid-air.

They were dressed neatly and had serious expressions.

They await only an order from above, and they will traverse the terrifying abyss of poisonous miasma to rescue another land ravaged by the demonic sect.

The small fishing village that was once slaughtered by the demonic sect has now become a stronghold of the immortal sect.

Several high-ranking elders of Taihua and stewards from various halls gathered together to discuss and plan.

The appearance of Jinglan Sect also disrupted Taihua's plans.

Yun Shu hadn't expected Qin Song to break the rules and ask the Supreme Elder to intervene. The Demonic Sect's entrenched power had been eradicated far too decisively.

The aftermath of this dispute was erased, forcing Taihua to bring forward all decisions.

Moreover, Jinglan then crossed the sea and left. If they were to reap the benefits, Taihua would be at a great loss.

Because Xiao Zheng had been to Da Xia, he was the main person in charge of this operation.

The elders of several battle halls, as well as the peak masters of each peak, all had to obey his orders.

Hearing the questions from the group, Xiao Zheng frowned.

Taihua Sect is currently facing several problems.

Without suitable protective magic weapons, high-level combatants naturally cherish their reputation and are unwilling to cross the poisonous miasma.

Li Shanhai barged through recklessly, and even if he was injured, it was not something an ordinary disciple could handle.

Taihua knew very little about the Great Xia, and was unaware of the current situation across the sea. Lacking intelligence, no one was willing to make the first move.

He shook his head, and faced with numerous questions, simply said in a deep voice, "Zhou Xin has also gone there. The ruler of Great Xia is not someone to be trifled with. They can deal with Li Shanhai."

"The best course of action now is to immediately send the disciples from each peak to depart!"

"The hundreds of millions of people of Great Xia need our salvation!"

"Pass down the order: depart immediately!"

He suppressed everyone's doubts and gave the order in a deep voice.

only----

Just as the Taihua Cloud Boat was ready to set sail, another cloud boat returned through the poisonous miasma.

The Azure Cloud Banner of the Jinglan Sect fluttered in the wind.

They are back.

Xiao Zheng looked up at the swaying cloud boat returning, and frowned repeatedly.

Why are they back?

How could it be so fast?

If Jinglan returns at this time, only two things can happen.

Firstly, the enemy was too powerful, and they were no match for them, so they were forced to flee and return.

Secondly, the enemy has been dealt with.

Neither of these points is good news for Taihua.

However, Xiao Zheng would prefer the former.

If it is the latter, it means that the turmoil has ended and has not caused any serious consequences.

Taihua is likely to get nothing.

If a large number of disciples from the Demonic Sect were to venture deep into the heart of the Great Xia, it would be a difficult situation to handle in a short time. Could Jing Lan really resolve it so quickly?

With a flash, he left his spot and soared into the sky.

The leader of the Jinglan Sect was Zhou Xin's personal disciple. Looking at Xiao Zheng, who exuded a powerful aura, he couldn't help but frown: "Master Xiao Zheng, what is the meaning of this?"

This journey was not pleasant.

They endured the poisonous miasma to escape, intending to help the Great Xia, but were almost beaten instead. Even after the misunderstanding was cleared up, there were still some lingering emotions.

However, regardless of the circumstances, the Great Xia's self-defense was justified. Compared to the Great Xia, these Jinglan disciples disliked the Taihua Sect members even more.

The sect leader and Zhou Xin were already very dissatisfied with many sects in the Immortal Alliance because of this operation, and this sentiment was also conveyed to the disciples below.

All are not fools.

When the Demonic Sect attacked before, Taihua sealed off the territory, allowing the Demonic Sect to act recklessly. Now that Jinglan has taken action to wipe out the Demonic Sect, you have come out again, gathering so many people, all high and mighty. What do you want to do now?

Xiao Zheng lowered his eyes and revealed a kind smile: "Zeng You, where is your master?"

Even if one is dissatisfied, the other party is still of a higher status than oneself, and disrespecting them will only invite gossip.

Zeng You suppressed his emotions and cupped his hands in a gesture of respect towards Xiao Zheng: "My master is not here. If you have any instructions, please tell me."

Xiao Zheng smiled and said, "Crossing the Abyss must have been an unpleasant experience! You all look listless and dispirited. Why don't you come to my Taihua for a few days to rest and recuperate?"

Zeng You replied in a formal tone, "Thank you for your concern, Master. We dare not trouble Taihua with such a small matter. We have important matters to attend to and must return to our sect immediately."

"I see—"

"We are about to set sail to help the Great Xia subdue the demons and protect hundreds of millions of people from being slaughtered by the demonic sect."

Xiao Zheng narrowed his eyes, pointed to several Taihua Cloud Boats, and asked them, "Zeng You, now that you have returned from the Abyss Sea, do you know how the situation is in Great Xia? Could you tell us so that we can prepare in advance?"

"Heh~"

Upon hearing this, Zeng You chuckled, meeting Xiao Zheng's probing gaze with a strange sense of satisfaction: "Taihua is truly compassionate, but if it's for helping Great Xia subdue demons, then there's no need for the Taihua Immortal Sect to trouble themselves!"

Xiao Zheng frowned slightly: "What does this mean? That Li Shanhai is not easy to deal with, so you must not be reckless."

This information cannot be concealed; if you want to know, just go and see for yourself.

Since they were all part of the same alliance, and Xiao Zheng's status was higher than his own, Zeng You didn't hide anything: "The demonic invaders have all been eliminated, Great Xia is safe, and the people are safe. You should take care of Heming Continent, Master!"

"Huh? How is that possible?"

Xiao Zheng looked into Zeng You's eyes, hoping to see the hint of a lie within them.

However, the other party was completely open and honest.

Zeng You shrugged and said indifferently, "If you don't believe me, you can go and see for yourself."

Xiao Zheng: ————

Of all the sects in the Immortal Alliance, Jinglan Sect is the least likely to lie. If what Jinglan Sect says is true, then the worst-case scenario has still occurred.

The Demonic Sect has been wiped out?

Is it Jinglan? Or Daxia?

Xiao Zheng preferred Jing Lan.

But no matter who it is, it won't benefit Taihua.

Being too late means all your efforts will be in vain.

He forced a smile and praised, "Jing Lan truly has remarkable skills!"

Zeng You didn't take credit, but just shook his head and said, "We didn't do anything. By the time we arrived, the Demonic Sect had already been wiped out, and Li Shanhai was dead."

Xiao Zheng: ————

The worst possible outcome.

Zeng You glanced at him and continued, "Master, if there's nothing else, could you please let us leave?"

"My master is still waiting for me in Daxia. We have important matters to attend to and need to go back to report to the sect leader."

"hehe----"

Xiao Zhengqian chuckled and waved his hand, indicating, "Please go ahead."

Xiao Zheng returned to the stronghold and looked in the direction where Jing Lanyun's boat had gone, his face turning cold and desolate.

"Xiao Zheng, what happened?"

"Why is Jinglan back?"

"Are we still going?"

Several elders gathered around him, and seeing that he looked unwell, they kept asking him questions.

Xiao Zheng simply said in a deep voice, "Elder Lu, go back to the sect and report to the sect leader that the Great Xia has eliminated the demon and it seems that no chaos has been caused."

"this----"

"Elder Song, send Gao Yilang's ship of disciples out to sea to Great Xia and ask Lu Junfeng about the current situation in Great Xia."

"good!"
