Wow~~~

The thunderous array that had enveloped the void Myriad Sword City disappeared, leaving only a towering, gray-haired tree standing tall in the air.

Zhou Hao, who had returned to his normal size, stood in the air, with a deep pit hundreds of feet in diameter below him.

"It's over?"

On the city wall of Myriad Sword City, the Immortal Dian Cai, Zhurong Ying, the two Loose Immortal of the demon race, and the high-ranking members of the Ji Clan clan all stared in astonishment at the peaceful scene before them.

Previously, when Heavenly Immortal Xuanji abandoned his Immortal Mansion and escaped using the Great Teleportation Dao Talisman, it was tantamount to admitting that he was no match for Zhou Hao.

He naturally wouldn't publicize such a shameful act.

The harsh words he left behind were transmitted telepathically, and only Zhou Hao could hear them.

But nobody's a fool.

The aggressive Shaoyan Clan, who had been chased and beaten by Zhou Hao earlier, had now disappeared without a trace, leaving only Zhou Hao standing there unharmed. It was obvious who had won and who had lost.

Oh my god!

She's a celestial being!

How long has it been?

In just a few breaths, he was driven away by Zhou Hao?

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Zhurong Ying and Immortal Dian Cai, flew out from the city wall and flew towards Zhou Hao in the air.

One of them was Zhou Hao's servant, and the other had known Zhou Hao for a long time. As for the others, they only looked up at this peerless figure who had forced back the celestial being from the city wall, out of awe of his status and strength.

In mid-air.

Zhou Hao frowned as he looked at the Saha Treasure Tree.

"Bang bang bang~~~~"

A series of dull thuds emanated from beneath the Saha Treasure Tree, as if a terrifying giant were smashing the trunk beneath it.

In Zhou Hao's perception, the 360 Star Mountain Stones under the tree trunk have now coalesced into a starlight mountain peak. The ferocious face of the Heavenly Immortal Xuanji has also appeared on the surface of the mountain peak, controlling the mountain peak to shake continuously, trying to overturn the entire Saha Treasure Tree.

"You still won't give up even after I've suppressed you." Zhou Hao's eyes turned cold as he flung out the All-Heavens Divine Thunder Formation Banner he had just retrieved, setting up a thunderous sealing array to suppress the starlight mountain peak together with the Saha Treasure Tree.

With these two magical treasures working together, the Heavenly Immortal Xuanji on Starlight Peak let out a roar of resentment, and was then enveloped by a lightning net, before being suppressed by the Saha Treasure Tree by being drawn into its trunk.

Call!

Zhou Hao stored the Saha Treasure Tree inside the Cosmos Pearl.

Before he had completely refined the Star Mountain Stones, he dared not directly return the Saha Treasure Tree to his Purple Mansion Origin Sea.

Otherwise, if the Heavenly Immortal Xuanji has any hidden methods, the Saha Treasure Tree can be repaired even if it is damaged, but his own Purple Mansion Origin Sea is injured, then it will be troublesome.

"Owner."

"The Immortal of Changsheng"

Zhurong Ying and the Immortal Dian Cai flew over.

Zhou Hao turned his head and was about to speak when a spatial ripple suddenly appeared beside him, revealing a hunchbacked old man leaning on a wooden cane.

"Senior Mountain Bearer?" Zhou Hao went to greet him.

The one who arrived was none other than the Celestial Immortal Ancestor of the Beishan Clan Anchan Prefecture, ' Heavenly Immortal Tuoshan '.

When the Heavenly Immortal Tuoshan saw Zhou Hao and Zhurong Ying, he was taken aback, but when he saw the Immortal Dian Cai, he was relieved.

"What happened?" asked the Heavenly Immortal Tuoshan. "Was that strong fluctuation of heaven and earth energy earlier an attack on Myriad Sword City by that madman Xuanji?"

He had previously intervened at the Black-White Academy, telling Heavenly Immortal Xuanji to go find Ji Ning himself and not to pressure the Black-White Academy.

Not long after, a terrifying surge of energy erupted in Myriad Sword City. The Loose Immortal in the Black-White Academy again asked him for help, saying that the Immortal Dian Cai had come to Myriad Sword City to protect the tribe for his disciple Ji Ning.

The Heavenly Immortal Tuoshan assumed that the Heavenly Immortal Xuanji had not found Ji Ning and, in a fit of madness, intended to destroy the Immortal Dian Cai and the Myriad Sword City, so he rushed over.

"It was I who fought with that scoundrel Xuanji," Zhou Hao said. "Unfortunately, I couldn't capture him. He escaped using the Great Teleportation Dao Talisman. I only managed to suppress his magic weapon, the Star Mountain Stones."

"What!? You let him escape using the Great Teleportation Dao Talisman, and even suppressed his Star Mountain Stones?" The Heavenly Immortal Tuoshan's eyes widened, looking as if he had seen a ghost.

Heavenly Immortal Xuanji began cultivating in the ancient era of gods and demons, making him far more ancient than He Mountain Bearer, and his strength was no less than his own.

However, Zhou Hao managed to force Heavenly Immortal Xuanji to use Great Teleportation Dao Talisman to escape...

It should be understood that although celestial beings occasionally engage in battles for their tribes or for treasures, and too many battles will eventually lead to their demise, such events are extremely rare, occurring only once in a million.

After all, anyone who has reached this level must have ways to protect themselves.

In general, when two sides are locked in combat, if one side can force the other to flee, it means that the other side's strength has already overwhelmed the other.

"He was careless and mistook me for an ordinary Void Return Divine Demon." Zhou Hao shook his head and chuckled. "I used my supernatural powers to get close, and his Star Mountain Stones was blocked by my magic weapon, so naturally he could only flee."

"That shouldn't be the case," the Heavenly Immortal Tuoshan said in surprise. "Although Xuanji may not be considered a top-tier Celestial Immortal, he is most skilled in the field of starlight thanks to the Celestial Star Chart. He shouldn't be helpless once you get close."

"Celestial Star Chart?" Zhou Hao looked at the Heavenly Immortal Tuoshan with a puzzled expression.

"That's an ancient celestial-grade magic treasure that existed in the ancient Pangu World. Although it's only a top-grade celestial treasure, it's in no way inferior to a low-grade pure yang magic treasure," explained the Heavenly Immortal Tuoshan.

"The Celestial Star Chart, along with 360 high-grade immortal Star Mountain Stones, is enough to rival a mid-grade pure yang magic treasure. This has earned Xuanji a formidable reputation in the Three Realms, allowing him to retreat calmly even when facing a half-step pure yang expert. Otherwise, with his madman-like temper, even with the Shaoyan Clan behind him, he would have died eight hundred times over."

Zhou Hao nodded.

Although he was confident that even with that Celestial Star Chart, he would never lose to him.

But now that he was helpless after I got close, I realize that Heavenly Immortal Xuanji must have some skills to have survived this long.

"I guess he didn't bring the Celestial Star Chart with him this time. He didn't expect to run into you, and instead lost his Star Mountain Stones." The Heavenly Immortal Tuoshan laughed heartily. "Three hundred and sixty high-grade immortal magic treasures, tsk tsk, that's almost four low-grade pure yang magic treasures. That's enough to make him heartbroken."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Hao also laughed.

According to the value of the treasure.

Generally, one low-grade pure yang magic weapon is equivalent to one hundred high-grade immortal magic weapons.

However, this is only a general estimate, not an absolute one.

After all, even among low-grade pure yang magic treasures, their values can differ.

The 360 high-grade immortal Star Mountain Stones were the most treasured magical artifacts that the Heavenly Immortal Xuanji had refined over countless years. They were roughly equivalent to 400 ordinary high-grade immortal magical artifacts, far exceeding his previous gains in the Earth Ruins Realm.

Of course, that doesn't include the gains from the Blood-Transforming Divine Blade.

"Since the Heavenly Immortal Xuanji suffered such a great loss, could he possibly rally the Celestial Immortals of the Shaoyan Clan to come and reclaim the magic treasure from the Changsheng?" Immortal Dian Cai suddenly asked from the side.

The Heavenly Immortal Tuoshan was taken aback. After thinking for a moment, he nodded and said, "That is indeed possible."

Four low-grade pure Yang magic treasures are enough to drive celestial immortals mad and tempt even Pure Yang True Immortal.

Given Heavenly Immortal Xuanji's temperament and Shaoyan Clan's domineering nature, it's hard to guarantee that they won't take any further action after losing so much face this time.

"It's no use coming," Zhou Hao laughed. "I'm not stupid enough to wait outside the city for them to come and kill me. If you're so capable, come find me in the city."

"That being said, we must still be on guard," the Heavenly Immortal Tuoshan warned. "From now on, you must be careful whenever you leave the city. Your family and relatives should also be on guard."

"I've arranged everything." Zhou Hao nodded.

Now that the Iron Ox Tribe has the Yinglong Guard token, just like the Great Xia city is protected by the Yinglong Guard, no matter how bold the Shaoyan Clan is, they would not dare to directly attack the Xiangcao Valley.

Even if they could send some wanted criminals to their deaths, with the Daoist soldiers of the Marquis of Guangling's Estate and three Loose Immortal serving as retainers, it would be useless even if ten or eight Loose Immortal went.

Unless Shaoyan Clan has truly gone mad and sent out a hundred or eighty Loose Immortal.

Eastern Mound Prefecture is an extremely remote county in the Xia Clan Great World, and also one of the three major fiefdoms of the Shaoyan Clan.

The county is filled with mountains and rivers, and its geographical area alone is nearly ten times the size of Anchan Prefecture.

The Chenyu Mountain Range are the most important mountain range in Eastern Mound Prefecture, because Shaoyan Clan have lived and multiplied in this mountain range that stretches for nearly a million miles.

The Shaoyan Clan clan alone has over a million cultivators, including hundreds of Earth Immortal Loose Immortal, making it one of the three major strongholds of the Shaoyan Clan in the Xia Clan Great World.

"Call."

In mid-air, a figure appeared out of thin air; it was none other than the Patriarch Xuanji had escaped back using the Great Teleportation Dao Talisman.

Chapter Two may never be finished.

If I don't finish writing it, I'll post it tomorrow. Don't wait up, everyone.

Tomorrow at midnight.
