Besides the parties involved.
The other factions in Nether River City were unaware of the Styx Sect's attack on the Supervisory Sacred Hall.
"Don't worry, those in the Three Treasures Sect who know about what happened today won't spread it."
A light veil of twilight enveloped a circular sofa in the room.
On the sofa, seven or eight young women, dressed in revealing clothing that even revealed glimpses of their fair, pink skin, were either lying on or embracing a man with disheveled black hair.
And those were the words spoken by the man.
After bringing Ye Qiubai and the others to this room, Dong Sanqiang left.
This man appears to be the important figure Dong Sanqiang was referring to.
Ye Qiubai stepped forward and asked, "Why do you think we need to hide this matter?"
The man opened his mouth, waiting for a woman to giggle and feed him a spiritual fruit. After swallowing, he explained, "It's simple. In my opinion, it's better to keep your actions from getting too much information from the outside world."
Everyone was taken aback.
"You should know that some people know you come from the lower realm, while others, after witnessing your talent and strength, speculate that you might be geniuses from the Upper Realm... But in my opinion, you do come from the lower realm, for a simple reason: there is no one like you in the Upper Realm."
The man's words were full of confidence, as if he had no doubt about his speculation. He continued, "Above the Soaring Realm, the worlds in the World Tree's canopy are basically ruled by one power, such as the Holy Realm ruled by the Holy Court. And the geniuses of these powers rarely go to the lower realms unless they hear some big news."
Moreover... I have never heard of or seen any of you before; you don't match my memory of you."
In just a few words, the man revealed his identity without hesitation.
From the Upper Realm.
This person is a big shot within the Three Treasures Sect... no, it should be Myriad Treasures Pavilion, which Myriad Treasures Pavilion probably also connected to higher-level forces.
Mu Fusheng frowned, a hint of seriousness flashing in his eyes, and said, "It seems you are well aware of our movements?"
"That's not the case. I've only heard the rumors that are already known to the outside world. Of course, the rumors about the Myriad Treasures Pavilion are more detailed than those circulating outside, but I haven't deliberately investigated them."
That means this person deduced they came from the lower realm based solely on rumors, and did not want to reveal their strength or identity to the outside world.
At this moment, the man stood up, and as he naturally opened his hands, two women put a brocade robe on him.
He lifted the veil, walked up to Ye Qiubai and the others, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, you are people that Myriad Treasures Pavilion has high hopes for, so naturally we won't do anything bad to you. If you don't believe me..."
With that, the man flicked his finger, and several strands of golden light shot towards Ye Qiubai and the others.
The group took the cards and looked down; they were several cards with golden dragon patterns on them!
Both its materials and the aura it exudes are far superior to the Thousand Treasures Card!
"This is Ten Thousand Treasures Card, and no one in the Soaring Realm has ever obtained one before." The man explained, his gaze falling on Hong Ying as he smiled, "In other words, from now on, Myriad Treasures Pavilion will invest in you with the greatest authority, and you can seek Myriad Treasures Pavilion's help for anything in the future."
"Why?" Ye Qiubai frowned. "We cannot accept rewards without merit. We cannot accept them without a reasonable explanation."
As he spoke, Ye Qiubai pushed the Ten Thousand Treasures Card out of his hand.
"The explanation is simple and cliché." The man didn't respond. "I think you possess both the talent of the geniuses from the Upper Realm and something they lack... Simply put, I have high hopes for you."
Then, the man looked at Hong Ying's furrowed brows and smiled, "Don't worry, I only admire your beauty and have no intention of forming a bond with you."
Xu Yeming quipped from the side, "You have quite a few women, don't you?"
The man said, "Them? I provide them with Cultivation Resources and support, and they serve me in return. It's a mutually beneficial arrangement, and there's no need for any karmic entanglement afterward."
At this point, the man looked at Hong Ying and smiled, "But you are different. Cultivation Resources and powerful backers are not enough to settle the karmic ties between us. Forming a bond with you means bearing much more, things I cannot yet bear."
Hong Ying's brows relaxed.
"Alright, if you're busy, you can go ahead. I think we'll have many more opportunities to get to know each other in the future." The man smiled, sat back on the sofa, and said with a smile, "By the way, my name is Bao Zhenshu."
After leaving the room,
Dong Sanqiang and the Grand Elder of the branch hall arrived together.
The Grand Elder's injuries had almost healed, and after thanking Dong Sanqiang, they returned together to the branch hall of the Supervisory Sacred Hall.
Upon returning to the branch hall, the branch hall's Grand Elder said, " The Yin Spirit Sect and the Styx Sect should behave themselves much better after this... However, once the main force returns, the grudges between us and the Styx Sect still need to be settled!"
Luo Ke waved his fist and said, "We'll wipe out the Styx Sect in one fell swoop!"
The moment the words left his mouth.
Rumble--!!!
A deafening roar shook the entire Nether River City!
The ground was shaking violently in waves!
Everyone was startled. Before they could even see what was happening outside, they sensed a massive surge of Evil Qi approaching!
When everyone came outside.
Look up at the sky.
A dark gray beam of light shot into the sky, seemingly piercing through the heavens!
That's... the direction of the Styx Sect!
Meanwhile...
An unexpected event also occurred in the Changsheng Realm.
Xiao Shitou cultivated within the Star Orbit Well, and his Void Sacred Body underwent a transformation!
The Power of Space within the Empty Realm Pearl completely merged into the Void Sacred Body.
It's not just about breaking through to a higher level.
Even Xiao Shitou himself was gradually merging into the endless space outside the space tunnel.
Lu Changsheng and Du Zhong immediately noticed and came to Xiao Shitou's side.
They forcibly dragged him out.
This is nothing like the usual battles where Xiao Shitou uses his body to suppress enemies...
If it truly merges into the endless space, Xiao Shitou's body, consciousness, and soul will also disperse to various places within the endless space.
How vast is endless space?
Simply put, he was dismembered!
Forget about whether they'll survive; they won't even be able to piece things back together.
At this moment, Willow Tree said, "Although Innate Dao Body is close to the Power of Dao Law... it has many advantages, but also fatal drawbacks... once cultivated to a certain level, it is possible to completely integrate into the Dao Law."
If one can successfully overcome this obstacle, then one's Dao Body will be fully formed.
If it fails... the body will become nourishment for the Dao Law...
Lu Changsheng frowned as he looked at Xiao Shitou, who had fallen into a coma. "How can we help him?"
The Willow Tree shook its head. "This process is usually impossible to intervene in with external forces."
So that means there's no hope?
But just then...
Within the Star Orbit Well, there were massive energy fluctuations!
