It turns out, they were the main characters.

This is putting pressure on them. Logically speaking, the Liangyi Sect would never step forward for the sake of a mere cultivator.

In the middle of Liangyi Peak.

In an elegant pavilion, Consort Shang Yan silently took a sip of tea, looked at the silver-haired beauty before her, and smiled, "How you perform is up to you."

Lin Ling looked at the chessboard in front of her and said calmly, "The chessboard is the Southern Wilderness."

Thunder rumbled in the sky, and the main road was stirred by Lin Ling's words.

Shang Yanfei cooperated by raising her hand and gently patting it on the chessboard.

The chessboard trembled slightly.

Almost instantly, the entire southern wilderness trembled violently!

In the Southern Wilderness, several forbidden beings opened their eyes almost simultaneously, awakened by this terrifying aura.

“The chessboard is also the Western Regions,” Lin Ling continued.

"Shang Yanfei, how dare you—!"

In the Western Regions, powerful figures were alarmed and enraged. These powerful figures could sense danger in advance, and even though Shang Yanfei had not yet made a move, they already had a premonition of something.

Shang Yanfei smiled brightly: "Guess whether I dare to or not?"

She slammed her hand on the chessboard.

Chapter 224 Seeds of Hatred (4K)

That slap was clearly just an ordinary slap on the chessboard, but in the next moment, a deafening roar suddenly resounded throughout the entire Western Regions.

Immediately afterwards, the ground began to shake violently!

"Amitabha."

At this moment, a Buddhist chant slowly resounded throughout the Western Regions, as if thousands of people were shouting at the same time, echoing throughout the Nine Provinces.

Immediately afterwards, a golden light shot into the sky, piercing the long night. In a certain area of ​​the Western Regions, beneath the gloomy black clouds, a huge Buddha statue quietly appeared in sight.

What followed was a surge of golden light like a tidal wave, and the ground that had been shaking quietly calmed down.

In the Western Regions, many Buddhist disciples looked up, their expressions slightly tense. Although they didn't know exactly what had happened, they roughly knew that it seemed a powerful figure from the Western Regions was fighting against the sect leader of the Liangyi Sect in the Eastern Continent.

The reason for this remains unknown.

“Consort Shang Yan, the Liangyi Sect has never had any friction with the outside world in the past. Your actions this time are pushing the Liangyi Sect into an abyss of no return.” From the depths of the Southern Wilderness, an evil god slowly spoke.

"While the spirit dragon's words may be law, it doesn't mean it won't suffer a backlash. Do you really intend to use the Two Elements Sect to fight against both the Southern Wilderness and the Western Regions at the same time?" Another cold voice rang out. Although the tone was extremely forceful, it was actually giving Shang Yanfei a way out, not wanting a real conflict to occur.

The Spirit Dragon's abilities are terrifying. Although she cannot speak frequently due to some kind of 'restraint,' every word she utters resonates with the Great Dao. If she were to fight desperately, the Southern Wilderness would suffer enormous losses.

At that time, other entities lurking in the shadows may be able to reap the benefits.

“Amitabha, Mr. Shang, please think it over carefully before you act.”

"It is not a wise move for the Liangyi Sect to confront the Southern Wilderness and the Western Regions head-on," a Buddha said slowly.

“A purple phoenix lotus,” Shang Yanfei said.

"As for why we need to find the Purple Phoenix Lotus from the Western Regions, you know better than I do."

Why did the Western Regions speak up for the Southern Wilderness when the Eastern Continent and the Southern Wilderness were in conflict, and even stand on the side of the Southern Wilderness?

Normally, wouldn't it be better for the Western Regions to watch the two sides fight from the shadows?

Just like the other forces that are currently silent.

But the Western Regions opened this door.

The only explanation is that the Western Regions were involved in the obstruction of the Azure Emperor, and even reached some agreement with the Southern Wilderness, so they had no choice but to step in.

After all, those who want to stop the Azure Emperor's rebirth are far more than just the evil gods in the Southern Wilderness.

In the past, the Azure Emperor had been to the Western Regions, and it seemed that some unpleasant things had happened. Now that they knew the Azure Emperor had reunited with the cauldron, the powerful figures in the Western Regions naturally did not want the Azure Emperor to return to the Dao Integration Realm.

"In addition, I also need a portion of the Emperor-grade medicinal herbs from the Southern Wilderness," Shang Yanfei said calmly again.

"Demanding medicinal herbs from both the Western Regions and the Southern Wilderness at the same time is far from enough with just the Liangyi Sect." Finally, an evil god in the Southern Wilderness couldn't help but make a move. It stretched out a huge hand from the depths of the Southern Wilderness, covering the sky and the sun, and reached out towards the Eastern Continent.

In the Eastern Continent, many cultivators were terrified, realizing that some evil god in the Southern Wilderness was refusing to back down and was about to make a move!

However, before the giant hand could touch it, thunder suddenly roared, followed by a slow voice: "The Two Elements Sect isn't enough, how about adding the Forbidden Zone as well?"

Amidst the rolling thunder, a majestic voice resounded throughout the land, and before the evil god's hand could even touch the edge of the Eastern Continent, pitch-black flames instantly blazed at the border of the Eastern Continent.

boom!

A deafening tremor resounded at the border of the Eastern Continent. The evil god quietly withdrew his hand, seemingly somewhat shocked and angry: "Lord of the Forbidden Zone, what does this have to do with your Forbidden Zone?!"

In a sense, the Forbidden Zone can be considered a special 'hidden world'. Even if the Eastern Continent disappears, the Forbidden Zone will still exist. This is one of the reasons why the Forbidden Zone has never intervened in any disputes in the Eastern Continent in the past.

However, it doesn't make sense that the master of the penalty area would make a move at this moment.

"That cultivator is my daughter's Daoist partner," the Lord of the Forbidden Zone said calmly.

That monk...?

The Azure Emperor's Daoist partner is also the son-in-law of the Lord of the Forbidden Zone...?

Even these old monsters found this hard to believe, and even found it utterly absurd.

Given the personality of the Lord of the Forbidden Zone, how could he possibly allow his son-in-law to have more than two Daoist partners at the same time?

But the ruler of the restricted area would also not lie about this.

This means that... the boy who died unexpectedly may have really boarded the forbidden zone ship!

As the voice of the Lord of the Forbidden Zone faded, the tense atmosphere seemed to cool down quietly.

If it were just the Liangyi Sect, the alliance between the Western Regions and the Southern Wilderness might be able to persuade Consort Shang Yan to back down. But if the Forbidden Zone is added, or even the Azure Emperor...

In the Southern Wilderness, an evil god slowly spoke, "I can decide to hand over the Emperor-level medicinal herbs of the Southern Wilderness to the Liangyi Sect."

The evil god paused for a moment, then continued, "The Ascension Ceremony of the Two Elements Sect is renowned throughout the Nine Provinces, attracting numerous cultivators from across the land every year. How about we use this Ascension Ceremony as a basis for a bet?"

"If the Eastern Continent wins the final Ascension Tournament, these medicinal herbs from the Southern Wilderness will serve as a congratulatory gift. I will also present an eighth-grade pill as a reward for the tournament. If, by chance, my disciple from the Southern Wilderness wins the Ascension Tournament, you only need to return a portion of Emperor-grade medicinal herbs to us afterward. How about that?"

"If we wager on this, the Purple Phoenix Lotus can be handed over to the sect today. What do you think, Benefactor Shang?" A powerful figure from the Western Regions also spoke up.

"The winner of this Ascension Tournament will be awarded an Emperor-level medicinal herb and two Grade 8 pills. Each of the three of us will contribute one portion."

If a being at the Dao Integration Realm were to make a move, the entire Nine Provinces would be thrown into chaos.

Two Emperor-level medicinal herbs are extremely precious to such a powerful being, but the Southern Wilderness and the Western Regions are already in the wrong, and with the interference of the forbidden zone, and even the existence of the Reincarnated Empress... it still requires careful consideration.

All the powerful figures from all realms sensed the aura of the Reincarnated Empress. The puppet beside her was also a 'Reincarnated Empress' and was also at the Dao Integration Realm, so she was definitely not to be underestimated.

The rebirth of the Azure Emperor is now a foregone conclusion. Coupled with the combined influence of the Two Elements Sect, the Forbidden Zone, and other factors, neither side wants to continue entangled in this matter.

Moreover, he had considerable confidence in his own clan's disciples, whether from the Western Regions or the Southern Wilderness.

Shang Yanfei tapped her knuckles lightly on the table and said calmly, "One thing is one thing. A bet is fine, but it has nothing to do with this matter."

Many people were shocked, not expecting this sect leader to be so assertive. She meant that she could accept the bet at the Ascension Conference, but this matter would be settled separately.

"What I want is an apology from you, not to entangle the two issues together."

When that voice rang out again, the evil god in the Southern Wilderness remained silent for a long time, and the Buddha of the Western Regions also did not speak.

"A natural disaster will strike the Southern Wilderness," Lin Ling said softly.

No sooner had he finished speaking than a sudden downpour began in the Southern Wilderness.

At the same time, deep within the Southern Wilderness, a deity slowly spoke: "This was indeed caused by the ignorance of some people who recently joined the Southern Wilderness. We will send imperial-grade medicinal herbs as an apology. In addition, we will also personally send people to apologize to the Yaochi Holy Land."

If Mu Zhian were here, he would probably complain right now: "Here we come. Whatever happens to Classic is the work of temporary employees hired from outside. It has nothing to do with us."

"Amitabha, the Purple Phoenix Lotus, I will hand it over to Benefactor Shang today." The powerful figure from the Western Regions also spoke up.

In reality, the biggest instigator of this matter was the first Demon Emperor. Whether in the Southern Wilderness or the Western Regions, they were merely going with the flow.

However, the Southern Wilderness and the Western Regions still tacitly apologized, because they were indeed in the wrong in this matter.

But the real reason is the existence of the Spirit Dragon. If she were to speak, it would cause huge casualties. Neither the Western Regions nor the Southern Wilderness are willing to actually take action, as this would cause turmoil in the Nine Provinces and affect their future cultivation.

Under normal circumstances, the spirit dragon would not interfere in external affairs. No one knew why she would help a minor cultivator, and even make her words come true several times.

Nobody wanted to keep gambling.

Shang Yanfei quietly withdrew her gaze and said calmly, "Since you all seemed interested in the Ascension Ceremony, I'll join you in a bet."

As this sound rang out, thunder suddenly boomed, as if Heaven had responded to the bet between the three parties.

A bet between the Two Elements Sect and the Western Regions and the Southern Wilderness!

This news caused quite a stir, exciting many young cultivators in the Eastern Continent.

Geniuses from all over the land gather at the Liangyi Sect to select the strongest among the younger generation in the Ascension Tournament!

Geniuses emerge in great numbers throughout the land, and none are willing to submit to another. This is because it is an era in which geniuses abound, and all kinds of powerful physiques exist in this era.

But what kind of physique will be able to go all the way in the Ascension Conference is something that people are really looking forward to.

Even after the three parties withdrew their supernatural powers, the topic was still being hotly debated throughout the Nine Provinces.

The Liangyi Sect was bustling with unprecedented activity.

Amidst this lively atmosphere, Mu Zhian's 'body' was also sent back to the Liangyi Sect that evening.

Tonight, a continuous drizzle falls within the Liangyi Sect, the raindrops pattering on the ground like countless lotus flowers blooming.

It is unknown who first discovered this matter, but almost that very night, the news of Mu Zhian's death spread throughout the Liangyi Sect.

The fairy in the green dress slowly pushed open the gate of Tianhe Garden and walked into the villa.

Beside her, Ye Lingxuan and Wei Mengrou both had expressionless faces.

Although the medicinal herbs in the Southern Wilderness might be able to piece together the scattered spiritual consciousness and bring it back, no one knows whether they can ultimately save him.

Even with hope, seeing Mu Zhian's pale face encased in the ice sculpture still caused Ye Lingxuan and the others a sharp pain in their hearts, like being pricked by needles.

"I'll go find Qian'er first," Ye Lingxuan said softly.

Ye Qian was unaware of this matter. Not only Ye Qian, but most people probably wouldn't have imagined that the three parties would cause such a commotion, almost leading to a major war, all because of the death of a cultivator in the Refining Spirit Realm.
