"Xia Mang?"

"How did they get here so fast!"

The three Pure Yang True Immortal gasped.

It should be noted that although the fighting between the group seemed slow, in reality, it had only taken three breaths from their appearance until now.

There was turmoil and chaos throughout the Great Xia World, and the previous failure of the twelve Celestial Immortal assassins.

Even if the Xia Emperor had been keeping a close eye on this place, it would still take at least several breaths for him to arrive from the Great Xia Royal Capital to provide assistance after discovering the incident!

Moreover, there's the Blood Lotus True Immortal's isolation space, where the master of the Heaven and Earth Great Dao is located.

According to their previous estimates, the Xia Emperor would appear at least six or seven breaths later.

That much time was enough for them to kill Zhou Hao, or at the very least, to suppress and take him away.

The woman in the green robe looked grim.

The Blood Lotus True Immortal was both anxious and furious.

"Damn it, damn it, damn it!"

They were so close to success.

As long as Zhou Hao is suppressed, he can be brought back to his lair.

Even if he cultivates the Eight-Nine Arcane Art to the ninth level, he will only face certain death.

Even if the Daoist Sanqing wanted to help, it would be useless.

But now that Xia Emperor has appeared, and in his true form at that, the three of them, who are only two or three tenths of the strength of their true selves, would probably be killed in one or two moves in front of Xia Emperor.

"Go!" the woman in the green robe shouted telepathically. "Blood Lotus, quickly lead us away."

They are only launching this preemptive strike to disrupt the Great Xia World; it is not yet time for them to truly confront the Xia Emperor with weapons.

Moreover, Xia Emperor was of extraordinary birth and background, possessing several powerful innate spiritual treasures, and was already renowned. Even if the three of them joined forces to besiege him, they might not be able to defeat Xia Emperor.

If we don't leave quickly, our avatar will truly perish here...

The battle in the Stele Mountain Great World is at a critical juncture. If their souls are damaged as a result, affecting the other side, it would be a great loss.

"But my magical treasure..." the man in the fiery red Daoist robe said unwillingly.

"Didn't Zhou Hao take a lot of my Green Eyebrow Needle too?" the woman in the green robe said angrily.

What kind of time is this to still feel sorry for Lingbao!?

"This time we've really lost big time," the man in the fiery red Daoist robe said, filled with regret.

Losing a mid-grade innate spiritual treasure is painful enough for Pure Yang True Immortal.

call.

Immediately, the Blood Lotus True Immortal, along with the woman in the green robe and the man in the fiery red Daoist robe, used an escape technique to instantly break through the void and teleport away.

"You run fast, don't you?" Xia Emperor sneered.

A Pure Yang True Immortal who had comprehended the Heaven and Earth Great Dao was determined to escape, and it was too difficult to stop him.

Even he could only watch as the other party escaped.

"Thank you for saving me, Your Majesty," Zhou Hao flew over and expressed his gratitude.

If Xia Emperor hadn't arrived in time, even if I had escaped death, I would have suffered heavy losses, especially since my master, Kong Fang, was still alive.

If I can escape, my master might not be spared any harm.

"I previously used my magical artifact to detect the battle here and saw that there were Celestial Assassins from the Blood Cloud Tower present. I knew that their main target this time was you. I originally intended to teleport here, but I discovered that this place was isolated by space, making teleportation impossible. I immediately realized something was wrong and had no choice but to forcibly tear through space to teleport here," Xia Emperor said. "Fortunately, I made it in time. If I had been a step slower..."

At this point, Xia Emperor was also somewhat frightened.

If Zhou Hao were to get into trouble on his own turf, even if the Daoist Sanqing wouldn't actually blame him, if he offended that Dao Sect leader, he might face countless troubles in the future.

"Huh? You're injured?" Xia Emperor looked Zhou Hao closely and immediately noticed that his divine power fluctuations were abnormal.

"It's the flying needle magic weapon of that woman in the green robe from before," Zhou Hao nodded.

"The Green Fox's Green Eyebrow Needle." Xia Emperor was startled.

That was the renowned magic weapon of the Green Fox True Immortal, most adept at destroying the God-Devil Body Refining who had refined their bodies like gods and demons.

When the Huayan Heavenly God fell, it caused quite a stir in the Three Realms.

After all, it wasn't a time of great calamity; even a true immortal or celestial being might not die in hundreds of millions of years.

"How are you feeling?" Xia Emperor asked. "These ' Green Eyebrow Needle ' were forged from the eyebrows of the Green Fox after she entered the Pure Yang True Immortal realm. There are a total of 3,659 needles, and they are extremely insidious. Once they are shot into a person's body, they directly pierce the divine soul that is integrated with the flesh and blood. Moreover, after absorbing the enemy's divine power, they can split into countless forms, making them extremely difficult to remove completely. Unless one abandons most of their divine power, even a little bit left will multiply."

"I have mastered the Eight-Nine Arcane Art, and my divine body is comparable to a high-grade immortal magic weapon. Although these flying needles are strange, they will not cause any problems for the time being," Zhou Hao said with a smile.

With three true immortals by his side, abandoning most of his divine power would be tantamount to courting death.

Although it's safe now, there's no guarantee that accidents won't happen again.

"So it was the Eight-Nine Arcane Art. No wonder it could hold out until now," Xia Emperor realized.

If an ordinary Void Return Divine Demon were struck by the Green Eyebrow Needle, they would likely not survive even a few breaths without immediately abandoning their divine power to isolate the flying needle.

When he left the Heavenly Brilliance Hall earlier, Zhou Hao had not yet revealed his profound skills and supernatural abilities. However, upon learning this now, he was still filled with envy for this Xia Clan Great World Lord, who came from an extraordinary background.

The "Eight-Nine Arcane Art," hailed as the most powerful divine ability below the level of true gods, will inevitably make anyone who has the opportunity to learn it a dominant force in the Three Realms.

Moreover, the person in front of him is a disciple of the leader of the Dao Sect.

He had no doubt that Zhou Hao could gather the terrifying resources that others would need to cultivate profound skills and supernatural powers.

"Zhou Hao, you'd better be careful from now on," Xia Emperor warned. "Among the Myriad Phenomena True Person you killed at the Immortal Fate Assembly, one was Blood Lotus, the only son of that dark-skinned, thin old man who comprehended the Heaven and Earth Great Dao. I initially thought you only killed one of his avatars, and that Blood Lotus feared the Three Pure Ones and might not dare to attack you."

"It now appears that he has joined the Wujian Faction, and in the coming catastrophe, we will be mortal enemies, and he will surely fight you to the death. A Pure Yang True Immortal who has comprehended the Heaven and Earth Great Dao is determined to kill you; this is very dangerous."

"The Wujian Faction?" Zhou Hao looked at Xia Emperor in confusion.

"That is a colossal entity no less powerful than any of our Three Realms. It was this Wujian Faction that caused the ancient Pangu World to shatter and become the current war of destruction in the Three Realms." Xia Emperor's expression was solemn, and his tone was filled with deep apprehension.

"What?" Zhou Hao exclaimed in surprise.

The cause of the ancient war of destruction... was actually the Wujian Faction?

"At that time, my strength was still weak, and I did not participate in the War of Destruction. My knowledge was limited, and I was only told some things when I went to see my master this time." Xia Emperor shook his head.

"If you want to know more, go ask your master. The Three Pure Ones were one of the leaders of our Three Realms at that time, and together with the Lady Nuwa, they defeated the Wujian Faction. The Daoist Master knows even more details than my master."

"Hmm." Zhou Hao nodded and made a mental note of the name ' Wujian Faction '.

As for the assassination attempt by the Blood Lotus True Immortal later, he didn't care too much.

Having experienced this ambush, I will never give them another chance.

"Do you want to come back to the Great Xia Royal Capital heal your wounds?" the Xia Emperor asked. "Within the Heavenly Brilliance Hall, as long as it's not True God Dao Ancestor makes a move, I'm confident I can protect you."

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. I plan to go to my master in the Heavenly Realm to heal my injuries further," Zhou Hao said.

There was also a primordial spiritual treasure bronze cauldron being suppressed within his own Cosmos Diagram, which he needed to deal with.

This is not an unclaimed spiritual treasure; it can be refined as long as the spirit of the artifact is dealt with.

According to the Cosmos Diagram, even ordinary Dao Ancestors would find it extremely difficult to seize a primordial spiritual treasure that already has an owner.

For this reason, it is rare for spiritual treasures to be directly stolen in the Three Realms.

Besides the fact that there are very few treasures that can take away spiritual treasures, it's also because even if they are taken away, they are very difficult to refine.

"Very well. It's even safer with Daoist Master." Xia Emperor nodded, flipped his hand, took out a jade talisman, and handed it over. "This is my Signal Talisman. If you encounter danger in the Great Xia World in the future, you can crush the Signal Talisman, and I will arrive instantly."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhou Hao accepted the Signal Talisman.

"Improve your strength as soon as possible," Xia Emperor said solemnly. "This is just the beginning. In the future, there will be all kinds of opponents and countless battles... As long as you are a living being in the Three Realms, you cannot avoid them. Only by becoming stronger can you have a better chance of surviving this calamity. If we wait until the calamity is at its most devastating, even many powerful beings will perish."

Thinking of what his master, the Crimson Bright Dao Ancestor, had said, and sensing that a great battle between his side and the Wujian Faction was inevitable, deep in the eyes of the Xia Emperor, there was a lingering worry.

Even a supreme being like his master is worried about this catastrophe in the Three Realms, so he might perish in this calamity.

"Your Majesty's rescue today is a great blessing. If you ever need my help in the future, I will do my utmost to assist you." Zhou Hao's expression was equally solemn.

Although the cause of this catastrophe is still unclear, seeing the Xia Emperor in such a state, and hearing that the opposing faction is the Wujian Faction that caused the ancient war of destruction, they know that this calamity is no small matter.

The Xia Emperor is an existence that has lived from the ancient world to the present day, and compared to myself, he undoubtedly knows better how to survive a great catastrophe.

Befriending a powerful Pure Yang True Immortal immortal like Xia Emperor would be a great help to him in the future.

"Alright." Xia Emperor smiled slightly.

Zhou Hao's words have already made his stance clear, and his good intentions have not been in vain.

Inside that magnificent hall in the hidden world.

The Blood Lotus True Immortal, the woman in the green robe, and the man in the fiery red Daoist robe were all here.

"This operation to disrupt the Great Xia World has progressed smoothly in all areas except Anchan City. My Blood Cloud Tower's tokens have also been sent to the top tribes of the Great Xia World," Blood Lotus True Immortal said coldly.

The operation was generally successful, but the assassination attempt on Zhou Hao in Anchan City resulted in the loss of eighteen Celestial Immortals under his command and the destruction of a pawn, the ' Celestial Sacred Sect '.

Although this loss is insignificant compared to the power he can control, it's not even a drop in the ocean.

However, his inability to kill Zhou Hao still left him feeling resentful.

"I think Zhou Hao must be killed." The man in the fiery red Daoist robe said in a hoarse voice, "He's already a threat now, but once he transcends tribulation and becomes a Celestial God... he'll be more than just a threat. Xia Mang rushed here to rescue us and curry favor; I'm afraid he won't stand idly by when we conquer the Great Xia World."

"Of course we won't stand idly by," Blood Lotus True Immortal chimed in. "His whereabouts before appearing in the Great Xia World Great Xia World a mystery, but he has cultivated there for nearly a hundred years, and his sect is the Mu Yang Sect, which is in cahoots with Xia Mang. How could he just watch the Great Xia World descend into chaos? And don't forget, his current master is the Daoist Sanqing."

The Daoist Sanqing were the mortal enemies of their Wujian Gate Sect.

This battle between factions is far more intense than any personal grudge; it will only end when one side is completely wiped out.

"He certainly deserves to die," the woman in the green robe said. "But Zhou Hao is protected by the Eight-Nine Arcane Art, so killing him won't be easy. We can only suppress him first, and then try to kill him. But just now, he has already left the Great Xia World and gone to the Heavenly Realm ..."

"The Heavenly Realm?"

The expressions of the Blood Lotus True Immortal and the man in the fiery red Daoist robe changed.

The Heavenly Realm is the main base of the Three Realms.

The strongholds of the Dao Sect and Buddhism are there, as are the strongholds of the human royal family and even those ancient great clans in the Heavenly Realm.

In the Great Xia World, even if celestial gods and immortals are dispatched, there's not much need to worry about Dao Ancestors and powerful beings interfering.

At this point, the turmoil had just begun, and the top experts on both sides reached a consensus to restrain each other: if one side wouldn't make a move, the other wouldn't either.

This is a tacit understanding.

After all, it's just true immortals and gods making a move; no matter how big the commotion gets, the situation can be controlled.

However, if powerful figures were to intervene and fight, the impact would be much greater.

It's even quite possible that the final battle will be triggered ahead of schedule.

This is something no one wants to see when both sides are still preparing and merely vying for their own destiny.

However, if someone recklessly ventures into the Daoist Dao Sect's stronghold in the Heavenly Realm, or even goes so far as to kill the Dao Sect leader's disciple, then the situation becomes different.

Such blatant provocation would be met with intervention from powerful figures in the Dao Sect, and their own powerful figures would certainly not offer assistance.

And most importantly, even if we wanted to save them, we couldn't...

"Green Fox, what do you suggest we do?"

Both the Blood Lotus True Immortal and the man in the fiery red Daoist robe looked at the woman in the green robe.

Although they held similar positions within the Wujian Faction, there were still differences between them.

Both the Blood Lotus True Immortal and the man in the fiery red Daoist robe were leaders of separate factions established within the Wujian Faction.

One was in charge of the assassin organization ' Blood Cloud Tower ', and the other was in charge of ' Demon Cave ', which built puppets for their own side.

The woman in the green robe, ' Green Fox Zhenxian', is from ' Wujian Gate,' a strategist-like faction directly under the Wujian Faction.

These conquests across vast worlds were all led by the highly intelligent leader of the Wujian Gate Sect, with the other two providing support.

Therefore, Green Fox Zhenxian is the one among the three who can truly make the final decision.

Of course, if the three leaders have a conflict with each other, they need to report it to the powerful figures in the camp for a judgment!

"I think we should report this to the God King," said the Green Fox Immortal solemnly.

"The God King?" The man in the fiery red Daoist robe hesitated for a moment. "To alarm the God King over this matter?"

The God King is the Dao Ancestor and a powerful figure in their Wujian Faction, and also the supreme leader in charge of conquering various great worlds.

"Are we just going to stand by and watch Zhou Hao rise to power without reporting to the God King?" Blood Lotus True Immortal retorted.

The man in the fiery red Daoist robe paused upon hearing this.

"I agree with Green Fox's approach."

Blood Lotus True Immortal continued, "Zhou Hao is too monstrous. He's already this monstrous after only recently becoming a disciple. If he's given more time to overcome the Heavenly God Tribulation, he'll immediately become a top-tier Heavenly God, or even reach the level of Lü Dongbin, a being capable of changing the course of a great world. I believe such a prodigy is worthy of being reported to the God King."

"That's right." True Immortal Green Fox nodded. "Given that True God Dao Ancestor won't act easily, the influence of a top-tier Celestial God is too great."

"Alright. I agree too." The man in the fiery red Daoist robe no longer objected.

I apologize again to everyone for the reckless actions I took in order to achieve perfect attendance!

I promise it will never happen again.

Thanks to Lao Tie 'Huanshi Xinghen' for the reward of 6500 points.

Thank you to my friend 'Life's Watch' for the 100-point donation.

Thank you to my friend with the last four digits '1181' for the 500 points.

Thank you to my friend 'QWER5883' for the 100-point reward.

I bow in gratitude to the Suifeng!
