You Dare!

Great Zhou, Lingyan City.

This was one of Great Zhou's most important major cities. Nearby were two fifth-tier Spirit Stone Mines, along with more than a hundred smaller mines of varying sizes. The ore and Spirit Stones they produced amounted to an oceanic quantity.

Not only that, Lingyan City bordered Tiankang Lake. Tiankang Lake abounded with a kind of Dragon Fish said to contain Dragon Qi. They were the favorite delicacy of great cultivators and an important resource controlled by the imperial court.

Hundreds of thousands of court cultivators alone were stationed along the borders of Tiankang Lake, forming a net that covered heaven and earth.

Lingyan City's City Lord, Yu Changqing, was a member of Great Zhou's imperial clan.

He was upright and impartial, a Spirit Transformation cultivator.

His eyes could not tolerate a single grain of sand. Over the years, he had executed four Spirit Transformation cultivators who had stirred up trouble, shaking the region with his might. One of them had even been his own brother-in-law.

His unyielding temperament was also an important reason why he could keep Lingyan City under control.

Yet at this moment, the face of this iron-willed City Lord of Lingyan City was deathly pale.

Before Lingyan City stood an army hundreds of thousands strong. Enormous Tower Ships floated in the air, their decks packed with rebel cultivators. Banners fluttered and snapped in the wind, carrying an overwhelming sense of oppression.

There were also terrifying demonic beasts as large as mountains mingled among the rebel ranks, a sight that shook the heart.

Yu Changqing, Lingyan City's City Lord, was still confident that he could hold off these rebels. But when he saw the barefoot woman in white at the center of the rebel army, his heart suddenly filled with bleak despair.

"Canaan Saintess!"
