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

Chapter 112 Opportunity to Move Crane Cry Continent

"Is this the Great Zhou Yao?"

Meanwhile, at a time when the situation between Daxia and Taihua was extremely tense.

On a small hill in the mortal dynasty of the Great Zhou, within the territory under the jurisdiction of Taihua, several unusual figures appeared.

A man and a woman walked in front, followed by five guards. Judging from their appearance and attire, they seemed to be different from those in the local area.

The middle-aged man leading the group had bright eyes and pointed directly at the city in the distance. He said to the woman beside him, "This is Yonghua City of the Great Zhou Dynasty."

He could see the city's power; even if it wasn't powerful, it was still the center of a nation's power, stronger than other places. Of course, it couldn't compare to the Taihua Immortal Sect.

These people were none other than Liu Bingxuan and his group.

They descended the mountain and began their exploration and surveying journey.

The Taihua Immortal Sect needs to manage the entire Heming Continent, so it is not far from the capital cities of the two surrounding dynasties.

In less than a month, they were almost at Yonghua City of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Leaving the Immortal Sect naturally allows one to relax a bit.

Liu Bingxuan was not a rigid or important figure; he would chat with his servants in his spare time.

Looking out over the city, Ma Chengyong couldn't help but curl his lip, "Tsk~ Lord Liu, this is nothing compared to our Great Xia!"

"The places protected by the immortal sects aren't necessarily that great!"

The cultivators of the Immortal Sect are very powerful. They possess many special abilities and can even create flying boats that the Great Xia Dynasty cannot yet develop.

However—unexpectedly, the secular dynasty here was nothing special; the people continued their farming life as always, using tools that were even inferior to those of the Great Xia.

The cultivators' powerful spells and advanced weapon-refining techniques—did not benefit the people here.

Along their journey, they passed through several cities and were shocked to discover that in this world inhabited by cultivators and immortals, the common people lived only average lives, even less prosperous than the people of the Great Xia Dynasty who had just experienced a period of chaos.

As for the distant Yonghua City, perhaps it was due to Ma Chengyong's affection for His Majesty and the Great Xia, but despite being a place protected by the immortal sect, the grandeur of that capital city seemed far weaker than that of Lieyang.

What I saw and heard at the Taihua Immortal Sect was vastly different from what I had seen and heard in the mortal dynasties since descending the mountain, creating a cognitive bias.

Even the guards couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Upon hearing this, Liu Bingxuan merely smiled, his eyes sparkling: "If the common people could live like immortals, how could that highlight the merit of cultivation or the virtue of the immortal sects?"

Where there is a gap, there will be conflict.

This is not a bad thing for him.

Just then, a guard ran up and reported to Liu Bingxuan: "Lord Liu, there is news. It seems that the Demonic Sect has invaded Heming Continent, which is why the Taihua Sect has sealed off the territory."

Liu Bingxuan seemed unsurprised, merely lowering his eyes before asking, "Is it truly the Demonic Sect? Is it the sealed-off southwest region?"

"yes!"

"southwest?"

Upon hearing this, Ma Chengyong frowned: "Lord Liu, the Southwest—the Southwest is not ours—"

They flew in from the southwest, which is their home, the Great Xia!

"It's alright!"

Liu Bingxuan shook his head, interrupting Ma Chengyong's worries: "There's nothing we can do here. Don't think about things we can't change. Just trust His Majesty!"

Having arrived here and seen this country, Liu Bingxuan was even more convinced that the Great Xia should rightfully be challenged.

Because—it was an independent dynasty, a dynasty not protected or controlled by monks.

What does this mean?

What would happen if the news reached the ears of the emperor and his people in this region?

The immortal sects of cultivators have always been proving one thing: the world needs them. Without them, chaos would ensue, the people would be ravaged, and the demonic sects would destroy everything.

Therefore, the protection of the immortal sects is always the condition they mention most often.

But now the Great Xia Dynasty has appeared!

The Great Xia does not need the protection of the Immortal Alliance; the Great Xia strives to protect itself.

The Immortal Sect is not afraid of the Demonic Sect, not afraid of battle, not afraid of death; what they fear is one thing—that the world can still function perfectly well without them.

And the Great Xia is this new world.

This trend has reached the world of cultivators, and may cause a revolution, leading the order that has been solidified for thousands of years in a completely unimaginable direction.

Is this really good?

The future is uncertain for ordinary people, but it may be bad for those who have already benefited from the status quo; nobody likes change.

Liu Bingxuan didn't know if the Taihua Sect had this idea, but someone in the Immortal Alliance would definitely see it.

Therefore, they instigated this chaos within the Demonic Sect.

Upon hearing this, Ma Chengyong swayed slightly and clenched his fists: "Yes!"

As the group chatted, "Giddy up!"

"drive!"

Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves came from not far away.

The guards immediately straightened up and formed their own battle formation.

This is a world of cultivators, where powerful forces that are difficult to contend with may appear, but in any case, they must fulfill their duties.

Before long, dust billowed as a spirited horse galloped in, and a group of fierce bandits surrounded them in an instant.

Several guards drew their weapons, their faces full of vigilance.

The leader, a man with a thick beard and a rugged face, clearly wasn't a good person. He drew a large knife and pointed it directly at Liu Bingxuan's face: "Leave the women and money! The rest of you can get lost!"

Ma Chengyong drew his sword and stood guard in front of Liu Bingxuan: "Lord Liu, be careful!"

However, Liu Bingxuan looked at the other party with great interest.

How fresh!

We were only a few dozen miles away from the capital of the dynasty, yet we still encountered bandits in this kind of territory.

"Um?

""

Seeing that Liu Bingxuan and his companions showed no fear whatsoever, the bandit leader frowned.

A sense of foreboding crept into my heart.

Liu Bingxuan looked at them with great interest: "Gentlemen, would you mind dismounting and having a proper chat with me?"

As he finished speaking, his eyes flashed.

His aura surged, and to the astonishment of the bandits, Liu Bingxuan's body rippled with energy and his magical power surged, a flower blooming in his dantian—

Liu Bingxuan's ability lies in "momentum." He can see the "momentum" of others, borrow it, and even use their methods. He can also create momentum and guide the overall trend.

Now, he is relying on the influence of the Taihua cultivators.

He took out a token and waved it in front of the group.

"This—this—"

"A cultivator?!"

The bandits trembled instantly, their faces filled with horror.

He immediately tumbled off his horse, knelt down, and prostrated himself on the ground, pleading, "I was blind and ignorant, and offended the Immortal Master Taihua! I beg you to spare my life! Spare my life!"

The burly bandit leader, no longer displaying his initial arrogance, chuckled dryly and said to Liu Bingxuan, "Immortal, please don't attack! Please don't attack! We are only acting under orders! You probably haven't received our order to subdue us!"

This is absolutely terrible luck.

Cultivators usually stay in their sects to cultivate, and when they go on missions, they're gone in a flash, so they're rarely seen. How come they bumped into them today?

Do these people still have time to wander around here and enjoy the scenery?

Liu Bingxuan looked at them with great interest: "Acting under orders?"

"To whom do you belong?"

The bandit coughed twice; revealing this would make things awkward for everyone.

But these were, after all, immortals of Taihua, capable of annihilating them with a mere breath. Meeting Liu Bingxuan's gaze, he forced a smile, took out an iron plaque, and finally said, "Immortal, we are acting on orders from the Prince Xian's Mansion—"

Liu Bingxuan didn't recognize the token in his hand at all, but he still nodded in a perfunctory manner.

He pointed to several women and children who had been kidnapped by bandits and said in a low voice, "Release them, and you can get out of here."

Hey~

The bandits immediately broke into smiles, kowtowing repeatedly and expressing their gratitude: "Thank you, Immortal Master! Thank you, Immortal Master!"

"We're leaving right now, we're leaving right now."

Having said that, he abandoned the people he had captured and spurred his horse to gallop away, afraid that if he was even a step too slow, Liu Bingxuan and the others would change their minds.

"Thank you, Immortal Master!"

"Waaaaah—Thank you so much, Immortal Master, for saving my life—"

"Thank you, Immortal Master!"

After the bandits left, the rescued villagers, with tears streaming down their faces, repeatedly knelt down to express their gratitude to Liu Bingxuan and his group.

Bathed in the reverence of these people, Liu Bingxuan narrowed his eyes slightly and looked towards the direction of the Great Xia in the southwest.

He has gradually found a way to leverage the opportunity to move Hemingzhou.

I wonder how the battle is going on in the Great Xia?

If Your Majesty wins, and if the power of Great Xia can be extended to Crane Cry Continent—

So, what will this place become?

These dull-witted people—they kneel down so easily, can't they stand up on their own?

"Sect Master, this—this, why are you here?"

Not long after the people from Taihua arrived, another group of cultivators entered the capital.

Inside the post station, Zhou Xin stared wide-eyed at the nonchalant man before him, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Why does Jinglan value Da Xia Yao so much?

They didn't even send a middleman; the sect leader came in person!

Aren't you even going to try to test the waters?

All things considered, this was only the second time the two sides had communicated.

Upon hearing this, Qin Song didn't put on any airs of a sect leader and rolled his eyes at him in a rather down-to-earth manner: "Do you think I want to sit on Jinglan Mountain every day?"

Negotiation was one aspect, but he was also genuinely curious about this new world.

He stood in the courtyard, looking at the magnificent aura gathered on the dome of Lieyang City, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

It's truly hard to imagine without seeing it with your own eyes.

This country is far more magnificent and greater than the intelligence reports describe.

He surveyed his surroundings and asked Zhou Xin, "I heard the Taihua Sect people came, what was the outcome?"

The post station for receiving foreign guests in Lieyang was very large. Taihua and Jinglan were assigned to different places, but Zhou Xin did not inquire about it.

"Tsk~"

However, he still knew most of the information. He shook his head and clicked his tongue, saying, "I heard he was scolded by the Emperor of Great Xia."

.

Hey~

"real?"

The Immortal Sect values ​​face above all else!

Qin Song was taken aback for a moment upon hearing this, but then his eyes crinkled into a smile, and he couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Hahahaha~"

"This emperor really has a good temper! Hahaha!"

"Okay, okay!"

"I like people like that!"

People with backbone and principles are much easier to get along with than shameless scoundrels.

Qin Song then asked, "When does he plan to see me?"

"Two days later."

"good!"

Qin Song nodded, looked up at the bustling city, and said, "Let's go out for a stroll now! Tell me, what have you seen and learned during this time—"
