My Meaning!
In the hazy starlight.
Patriarch Xuanji sat on his celestial chariot, looking at Zhurong Ying standing in the Winged Serpent Lake, his face so gloomy it seemed as if water could be squeezed out of it.
Ancient gods and demons at the Void Return level are incredibly powerful to Earth Immortal Loose Immortal; even the Duke Feather God would instinctively feel fear when facing them.
But to true celestial beings, especially top-tier celestial beings like Patriarch Xuanji with long lifespans, he was nothing more than a foolish and reckless man.
The mortal Ji Clan was saved by Zhurong Ying, but the Patriarch Xuanji didn't care.
What truly angered him was the attitude of Zhou Hao, the master behind this god-demon.
"I haven't even gone to find Yun Yuchan yet. Now you've sent a demon to protect Ji Ning's clan. Do you really want to be an enemy of my Shaoyan Clan?" Patriarch Xuanji's eyes were filled with murderous intent.
If he hadn't still retained some rationality and wasn't unwilling to easily fall out with Zhou Hao before the end, given his usual temperament, he would have already taken direct action against Zhurong Ying.
Even now, Patriarch Xuanji feels he has been tolerant enough towards Zhou Hao.
Even when they were sent to capture his people, they were specifically instructed not to harm them.
When has the Shaoyan Clan ever cared so much about others?
At this moment, Duke Feather God's expression suddenly changed. "Ancestor, the Loose Immortal sent to Xiangcao Valley have returned with a message. During their operation, they encountered Zhou Hao's Second Primordial Spirit avatar. All four Loose Immortal were captured by him, but no members of Zhou Hao's clan were captured."
The four Loose Immortal were led by an old man with a hooked nose; the one who went to the Xiangcao Valley this time was his Second Primordial Spirit.
His true form was in the capital, which is why he was able to quickly send messages back to his people.
"Useless." Patriarch Xuanji snorted, then sneered, "It seems Zhou Hao doesn't want to talk properly, so he can't blame me."
Call!
A mountain, a thousand feet tall and resembling a star, suddenly appeared in front of the Patriarch Xuanji, about to be hurled at the ancient god-demon Zhurong Clan below.
The void in front of the god-demon distorted, and with one step, he vanished from the Winged Serpent Lake.
"They're gone?" Both Patriarch Xuanji and Duke Feather God stared in astonishment at this scene.
The ancient gods and demons who were just now filled with murderous intent, seemingly eager for a fierce battle... have they just left like that?
Feeling fooled, the murderous aura in Patriarch Xuanji intensified. His consciousness followed the direction Zhurong Ying had fled, and amidst the shimmering starlight, the Nine Dragons Immortal Carriage also gave chase.
Ten Thousand Myriad Sword City of miles away.
A burly man with a red face suddenly appeared outside the city.
"Haha, that celestial being certainly didn't expect that I, Old Zhu, would just leave like that." Zhurong Ying chuckled to himself.
The master's order was to prevent the Shaoyan Clan from slaughtering the Ji Clan members.
I've saved all those mortals; there's not a single human in Winged Serpent Lake now... Laozi don't have time to fight with a Celestial Immortal.
"Huh? Oh no! They're coming!"
Zhurong Ying glanced at the distant void, then turned and roared into the Myriad Sword City, "Quickly release the restrictions and let me in. I am Zhurong Ying, a servant of the Changsheng Zhou Hao, and I have been ordered to guard the Ji Clan."
He had discovered that there were many demon soldiers in the city, as well as several immortals from both the human and demon races. In addition, this was a city of the Great Xia Dynasty and the lair of the Yan Mountain Ji Clan. Hiding inside would not only allow him to carry out his master's orders, but also avoid confronting the Shaoyan Clan of the Shaoyan Clan.
It must be said that the ancient gods and demons, who have been evading capture by the Great Xia Dynasty for countless years since the time of the ancient gods and demons, are far more intelligent than other foolish gods and demons when it comes to protecting their lives.
Within the Myriad Sword City.
Ji Ning's master, "Immortal Dian Cai," stood on the city wall, with Ji Liuzhen, Ji Jiuhuo, and other high-ranking Purple Mansion Cultivator from the Ji Clan clan standing beside him. Ji Ning's spirit beasts, the Azure Snake and the Whitewater Marsh, were also present.
Zhou Hao, the Immortal of Changsheng?
The high-ranking members of the Ji Clan clan looked at each other in bewilderment.
Although they were only at the Purple Mansion Realm, they were no strangers to Zhou Hao, the ' Changsheng Immortal' who had been the most famous in Anchan Prefecture for the past ten years.
That's a super being comparable to a celestial being in the teleportation realm.
Would such a person send servants to protect the Ji Clan clan?
"It's that ancient god-demon at the Void Return level from the Prison Mountain Great Marsh!" exclaimed the girl in green robes, who was actually the Azure Snake.
She was present when Zhou Hao subdued Zhurong Ying, so she recognized him at a glance.
Ancient gods and demons at the Void Return level?
Ji Jiuhuo, Ji Liuzhen, and the others were all stunned.
Even the Immortal Dian Cai was startled.
The crowd was overjoyed.
With the assistance of ancient gods and demons of such power, even if that Heavenly Immortal Xuanji is mad, he can do nothing to the Ji Clan clan today.
Brush!
Zhurong Ying's figure flashed and he also arrived on the city wall. With a wave of his hand, more than twenty ships and more than a thousand mortals appeared on an open space inside the city.
"These are Ning'er's servants from Clear Heart Island," the old patriarch, Ji Jiuhuo, exclaimed in surprise.
"The celestial being from the Shaoyan Clan went to Winged Serpent Lake to kill these mortals, but I saved him," Zhurong Ying said.
"He doesn't even spare mortals, Heavenly Immortal Xuanji is truly shameless," Immortal Dian Cai said hatefully.
No sooner had the words left his mouth than a flash of starlight appeared in the sky, and the Nine Dragons Immortal Carriage appeared not far outside the city.
"He runs really fast." When Heavenly Immortal Xuanji saw the red-faced giant on the city wall, he sensed in his mind that it was the ancient god and demon from before. After briefly checking the true situation Myriad Sword City, his expression immediately changed.
"There are so many demon soldiers? And two Loose Immortal from the demon race? Ji Ning's master, that sword immortal named Dian Cai, is here too?"
Although Heavenly Immortal Xuanji was extremely angry, he knew that no matter what, he could do nothing to the Myriad Sword City today.
Moreover, this is still a city in the Great Xia Dynasty. If they were to openly attack Myriad Sword City, even if they were Shaoyan Clan Immortal of the Shaoyan Clan, they would still be wanted and pursued by the Great Xia Dynasty for breaking the rules.
At that point, things will be even more embarrassing.
Patriarch Xuanji was a decisive man, and immediately ordered, "Fu Jun, give the order to send people to monitor the entire Yan Mountain area!"
This is Ji Ning's tribal homeland; I refuse to believe he'll never come back.
"Yes, Ancestor." After a slight pause, Duke Feather God still asked, "Then, are people also arranged to monitor Yun Yuchan's place in the Changsheng Estate?"
Ji Ning is nowhere to be found, and Yun Yuchan is currently at the Changsheng Estate in Anchan City.
However, unlike the weak Ji Clan clan, Zhou Hao was not someone to be trifled with.
That ancient god-demon at the Void Return level alone would require dozens of Earth Immortal and Loose Immortal to subdue without the intervention of Celestial Immortals.
"The Changsheng Estate..." Patriarch Xuanji pondered for a moment, "Go there yourself first and see what Zhou Hao has to say before making a decision."
Whether it's war or peace, we must make things clear face-to-face.
However, Patriarch Xuanji had already foreseen this and knew that Zhou Hao was more likely to refuse. Considering his status, he naturally did not want to go again.
"Yes," Duke Feather God respectfully replied.
There was no danger within Anchan City, so he had nothing to worry about.
As for losing face... isn't that exactly what the clan leader does? He can't just let the clan's celestial ancestor lose face.
"I'll return to the capital first. You go see Zhou Hao." After saying this, Patriarch Xuanji was about to teleport away over a great distance.
Sudden--
Boom boom boom boom boom...
Twelve ancient array flags appeared out of thin air, and thousands of bolts of lightning instantly erupted in the void within a radius of thousands of miles.
"Boom!"
Countless bolts of lightning raged across the sky.
That terrifying power of heaven and earth made almost all living beings in Myriad Sword City tremble with fear.
Since ancient times, thunder has been used to punish on behalf of heaven, instilling fear in countless living beings.
Even powerful cultivators have to overcome three calamities and nine tribulations. When they reach the limit of Void Return, they must also undergo the heavenly tribulation in order to continue their cultivation.
The reverence for thunder is deeply ingrained in the very marrow of all living beings, especially among cultivators.
"What happened?"
"Who is this expert in lightning magic?"
"Could it be another celestial being from the Shaoyan Clan?"
The two rogue Loose Immortal on the city wall exchanged a glance, both harboring numerous thoughts.
"Shaoyan Clan really so crazy as to attack Myriad Sword City? This is a city of the Great Xia Dynasty!" Immortal Dian Cai's expression also turned grim.
Only Zhurong Ying was most familiar with Zhou Hao's Second Primordial Spirit clone's many techniques and magical treasures, and immediately said, "Everyone, don't panic, my master has arrived."
Is he an Changsheng?
Everyone was taken aback.
Above the sky, a man in a green robe slowly emerged from the depths of the thunder.
Amidst the raging thunder and lightning, streaks of electricity snaked behind the man, as if he were draped in a long cloak.
His gaze swept down upon the Nine Dragons Immortal Carriage below, and he spoke coldly:
"Xuanji, you went to great lengths, even sending people to my tribe to 'invite' my people, so why are you returning to the capital before even seeing me?"
Is he Zhou Hao?
"Zhou Hao, what do you mean by this?" Heavenly Immortal Xuanji's face darkened, her voice equally cold.
At this moment, the five elements of heaven and earth are in chaos, and space is unpredictable, so even a celestial being like him cannot teleport.
Zhou Hao sealed off the void the moment he appeared... This is a tactic that cultivators usually employ before engaging in life-or-death battles.
"What do I mean?" Zhou Hao laughed.
What I mean is... you should stay here today!
First update.
