A fierce battle is currently taking place in a canyon.
Demonic beasts roared, Spiritual Qi surged, swords clashed, sand and gravel flew, and the mountains and forests trembled!
The air was thick with the stench of blood, and the ground was littered with corpses, a chilling sight.
"Hahaha, you lowly wench, you think you can steal this jade token? Die!"
Suddenly, a loud laugh echoed from the heavens and earth.
The next second, an old man with a goatee suddenly and frantically charged at one of the beautiful women.
With a roar, he struck out with his palm at the beautiful woman, and terrifying Spiritual Qi exploded instantly, causing the mountains to shake and the earth to tremble!
Qiu Yue's pretty face changed drastically as she looked at the old man who had suddenly attacked her. Her face turned slightly pale, and she made a move to retreat as her Spiritual Qi surged.
But at that moment, a figure suddenly pounced out from behind her, punching the old man with the goatee's hand that was coming at him.
With a loud bang, fists and palms collided in mid-air, producing an explosive sound. Immediately, both of them began to retreat.
The old man with the goatee retreated several meters in mid-air before regaining his balance.
He glared at the meddlesome fellow and gritted his teeth, saying, " Yan Ji, what do you mean by this? Does your Jade Lake Holy Land intend to join forces with the Ancient Desolate Holy Land?"
The old man, referred to as Yan Ji, slightly changed his Elder Cang expression upon hearing this, and said in a low voice:
"Hmph, old man Zhuge, don't spout nonsense! I only took action because I couldn't stand your bullying of the weak."
Yan Ji was also very frustrated, because it was not his intention to take action; it was Holy Maiden Shen Yao who requested it.
Originally, he was unwilling to pay attention to such matters, let alone get involved in the mess between the Ancient Desolate Holy Land and the Carefree Holy Land; he would have preferred to sit back and watch the tigers fight.
But to his surprise, Shen Yao had just sent him a telepathic message, asking him to help.
Upon hearing this, Zhuge Cheng was furious. " Yan Ji, so you're determined to oppose me and protect that lowly servant girl from the Ancient Desolate Holy Land?"
"To oppose my Carefree Holy Land, is it your intention, or the Jade Lake Holy Land's? Can you bear the consequences of siding with the Ancient Desolate Holy Land?"
Zhuge Cheng was aggressive, his gaze cold and menacing.
What business is it of the Jade Lake Holy Land Ancient Desolate Holy Land? What right does the Jade Lake Holy Land have to interfere?
Meanwhile, the Nascent Soul experts from the Ancient Desolate Holy Land who were battling the demonic beasts in the distance had returned to Qiu Yue's side.
It was clearly impossible for Zhuge Cheng to make a move against Qiu Yue again.
What a great opportunity, and it was ruined by that old bastard Yan Ji.
Yan Ji Zhuge Cheng's aggressive approach, Yan Ji felt immense pressure, even though his cultivation was at the Nascent Soul Peak.
Should we side with the Ancient Desolate Holy Land or oppose the Carefree Holy Land?
This is no joke!
Such a serious accusation, even for someone at the Nascent Soul Peak, would be unbearable.
Moreover, he is not qualified to make decisions on behalf of the Jade Lake Holy Land.
However, at that moment, a beautiful figure slowly walked out.
This person wore a long dress, had a graceful figure, and possessed an ethereal and noble air, just like a fairy.
Her face was veiled, and she said coldly, "This holy maiden owes Qiu Yue a favor. What's wrong with saving her once?"
"If you insist on pressing me with this, accusing my Jade Lake Holy Land of siding with the Ancient Desolate Holy Land, then this Holy Maiden will be willing to offer your suggestion upon returning home, as you wish!"
As soon as the words were spoken, the world fell into a sudden, deathly silence.
Zhuge Cheng of the Carefree Holy Land was so angry that his face turned blue, but he couldn't utter a single word.
Although Shen Yao's cultivation level was not as Yan Ji as Yan Ji's, her words carried much more Yan Ji.
Yan Ji's cultivation level is higher than Shen Yao's, but in terms of potential and status, he is far inferior.
"Snort!"
Since Shen Yao had already intervened, Zhuge Cheng naturally had no choice and dared not say anything more.
Given his status, he could be aggressive towards Yan Ji, but if he did the same to Shen Yao, he might actually push Jade Lake Holy Land to the opposite side of Carefree Holy Land.
In that case, Zhuge Cheng would be a sinner of the Carefree Holy Land.
" Qiu Yue thanks Fairy Shen for saving her."
Qiu Yue's beautiful eyes also fell on Shen Yao, and she slightly clasped her hands in thanks.
In fact, she was also somewhat shocked.
She hadn't expected Shen Yao to send someone to save her.
You should know that she and Shen Yao had absolutely no relationship whatsoever, and the claim that Shen Yao owed her a favor was utter nonsense.
Shen Yao smiled and said, "You don't need to thank me. If you want to thank someone, thank your Holy Son."
"Holy Son?" Qiu Yue was stunned.
Involuntarily, she thought of that dashing, handsome, and exceptionally talented young man.
But she couldn't understand when Ye Xuan and Shen Yao had any interaction.
The elders from the Ancient Desolate Holy Land were also somewhat taken aback.
However, seeing that Qiu Yue was alright, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
They all glared at Zhuge Cheng with gritted teeth. If looks could kill, Zhuge Cheng would have been killed a thousand times over.
The Carefree Holy Land Nascent Soul Peak actually dared to ambush Qiu Yue; they are utterly shameless!
However, it was also their fault for being careless; they were so engrossed in fighting for the jade tokens that they didn't act like this. Fortunately, Holy Maiden Qiu Yue was unharmed.
" Elder Mu and I will protect the Holy Maiden. You all continue. There are so many jade tokens here; we absolutely cannot let them fall into the wrong hands, especially not those scum from the Carefree Holy Land!"
One of the elders glanced at the battle in the distance and said in a low voice.
"Alright!" The other elders nodded and then joined the battle again.
In the distant valley, countless demonic beasts could be seen.
Moreover, each of those demonic beasts had a jade token around its neck.
Those jade tokens for the quota all emitted a faint glow, like divine light.
At first glance, the divine light was dazzling, truly breathtaking.
If you do the math, there are probably at least two hundred of them.
Two hundred jade tokens for each spot! What does that even mean?
However, the area was somewhat chaotic at the moment.
Some were attacking demonic beasts, while others were attacking cultivators; it could be said that everyone was attacking indiscriminately, all with the same goal: to seize the jade token.
It was truly a horrific tragedy.
Qiu Yue watched the battle in the distance and wanted to join in. She was actually quite strong; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to become a saintess.
However, considering the previous sneak attack and the presence of five Nascent Soul from the Carefree Holy Land over there, he ultimately gave up the idea.
Shen Yao was also watching the battle, but her mind was clearly elsewhere.
Her guilt towards Ye Xuan lessened slightly.
She had been chasing after Ye Xuan, but on the way she encountered Elder Yan Ji. Under Yan Ji Ji's strong persuasion, she finally chose to leave with Elder Yan Ji.
You should know that she knew back then that Ye Xuan went to rescue people, and that the disciples of the Ancient Desolate Holy Land were being besieged and killed by Zang Xingtian and others.
Ye Xuan saved her life, and even though he asked for a jade token for a spot, she was still very grateful to Ye Xuan.
After all, her life was far more precious than a jade token.
However, at that critical moment, she chose to leave with Yan Ji instead of going to help.
She has always felt guilty about this, and it's a deep guilt.
Just as Shen Yao was thinking about these things, suddenly, as if sensing something, her beautiful eyes looked in a certain direction.
In that direction, a large group of figures were approaching in a grand procession.
The leader, dressed in white, had a handsome face and an extraordinary demeanor, like a celestial being descended to earth.
His flowing robes gave him an air of elegance and unrestrained grace.
