Mourning robes and hemp to bid a beloved master farewell, demonic clouds press upon the border as war smoke rises

The death of Gongye Chun was a great loss for the Jade Spring Sect and even the entire Vast Waves Alliance.

Jade Spring Sect, deeply grateful for his kindness, arranged his funeral with the respect due to a Supreme Elder.

All the original disciples of Spring-Returning Mountain wore mourning clothes and cried out that Heaven was unjust.

But time is the most merciless thing.

Whether one is a genius or a mediocre cultivator, when the time comes, so be it; those destined to die will die.

After the funeral arrangements were completed, all the cultivators returned to their original paths.

Now that True Person Mei has emerged from seclusion and taken charge of the sect, Chen Shuangbai, the Far-Reaching Luminous Sword Immortal, has been freed from his constraints and specially arranged for Feiguang to take him to Hengzhang City.

Hengzhang City.

Mystic Sea Avatar sensed the arrival of the main body immediately and had been waiting outside the city for a long time.

Suddenly, a flash of blue light appeared in the sky. When he came to his senses, Feiguang and Chen Shuangbai were already in front of him, their Movement Method shimmering with Divine Ability light, showing no signs of fatigue from the long journey.

"My lord."

Mystic Sea Avatar, spoke softly.

Chen Shuangbai nodded, then turned to look at the two people beside her.

These were his eldest disciple Chen Fuguang and his third disciple Lu Xiangyuan.

As for the second disciple Chen Yazhen and the fourth disciple Gao Yi.

One of them is still traveling abroad. The last time he sent a message, he said he had gone to the Wu Country. Presumably, he went to either Turbid Wave Pavilion or Calming Waves City, so Chen Shuangbai was at ease.

Gao Yi has not yet Foundation Establishment and is still confined to Jade Screen Peak to cultivate. With Changming watching over him, nothing major is likely to happen.

When Chen Fuguang and Lu Xiangyuan saw their master looking over, they respectfully bowed and said, "Disciples greet Master."

Chen Shuangbai nodded, and a buoyant force lifted the two of them up. A glint of jade light flashed in her eyes, and she said with great satisfaction, " Fuguang, you're quite good. You've already Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, but you still need to hold back a bit to avoid any slip-ups."

Although Chen Fuguang can now almost control the burning yang energy within his body, Chen Shuangbai still points it out to him, wanting him to be careful at all times.

Chen Fuguang readily agreed.

As for Lu Xiangyuan... she is also in the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage.

To be fair, her innate Pearl-Holding Physique made her a perfect fit for the Jade Spring Sect, a major sect specializing in water magic.

Even though his aptitude was slightly inferior to his senior brother's, he still managed to surpass him. Moreover, he had honed his skills on this battlefield for many years and was definitely not the kind of person who only knew how to cultivate in the mountains.

" Xiangyuan also very good."

Upon receiving praise from his master, Lu Xiangyuan immediately beamed with joy and said in a carefree manner, "How could my humble achievement compare to Master's Far-Reaching Luminous Sword Immortal, whose fame resounds throughout the north and south?"

Chen Shuangbai smiled and nodded at her, then turned her gaze to her Mystic Sea Avatar, and with a flick of her finger, three scrolls of notes fell in front of her.

Mystic Sea Avatar Divine Sense, probed into it, paused slightly, then understood, and said with a hint of helplessness, "So... you really want me to extend my knowledge in the realm of Dao of Alchemy?"

Chen Shuangbai glanced at the avatar, then opened his right palm, revealing a brilliant, Divergent Flame that was red on the outside and purple on the inside. It resembled a frolicking firebird, which he tossed into the air and landed in front of the Mystic Sea Avatar.

It is indeed [ Cinnabar Purple Profound Fire ].

"I'm currently overwhelmed with other matters, and I suppose you're free of anything, so I'll leave everything to you."

Mystic Sea Avatar uttered a few words, but due to the domineering nature of the main body, he could only accept them and turn back to study the profound principles of Dao of Alchemy within.

He sought an incarnation to refine elixirs for himself.

This idea had already formed in Chen Shuangbai Qi Refining Stage.

Now my wish has come true.

After speaking with Mystic Sea Avatar and giving guidance to his two disciples on their cultivation, Chen Shuangbai inquired about the current situation in Hengzhang City. Upon learning that everything was safe and sound, Chen Shuangbai went to find the two Nascent Soul True Lord were stationed there.

Originally, there were three people stationed here: Painstaking Heart Sect True Lord Kuchan of the Kuxin Sect, True Lord Huoyang of the Setting Sun Sect, and True Lord Qingyu of the Turbid Wave Pavilion. However, the defense line between Wu Country and West Kingdom was too difficult to manage with True Lord Suwen alone, so True Lord Kuchan was transferred elsewhere.

Inside the main hall of Hengzhang City.

Chen Shuangbai came here to meet the two True Lord.

Both Nascent Soul True Lord treated the brilliant Jade Spring Dao Child and the Far-Reaching Luminous Sword Immortal with great kindness, especially True Lord Qingyu, who displayed the loving demeanor of an elder.

After exchanging greetings with the two True Lord, Chen Shuangbai inquired about the situation of the various tribes in the Ning Country Demon Cave.

True Lord Qingyu said in a deep voice, " Ning Country is adjacent to the Spirit Gauze Sea. If the demons from the sea want to come ashore, this is the first stop. However, we have not yet observed the aura of Nascent Soul level demon lord. It seems that currently only a small group of demons have come ashore."

True Lord Huoyang nodded in agreement, saying, "These days, those Golden Core cultivators in the Holy Origin Demonic Alliance are so terrified by you, Sword Far-Reaching Luminous Sword Immortal, that they hardly dare to show their faces."

"The front line is very secure; there's no need to worry."

"That would be best. Then we'll have to trouble the two True Lord to oversee things..."

Just as Chen Shuangbai finished speaking, a deafening roar suddenly came from outside the hall.

The three transformed into colorful lights and escaped from the palace, arriving in the sky. Each activated their Divine Ability or eye techniques, and they all looked towards the Ning Country's territory. There, they saw patches of fiery clouds, and one after another, violent and loud bird cries came from the layers of fiery clouds. Faintly visible within the clouds was a colossal creature covered in shimmering gold and blazing purple flames, resembling an ancient ferocious bird, surging about, displaying the power of Nascent Soul Demon Lord.

Chen Shuangbai immediately recognized him and blurted out, " Crimson Flame Demon Lord!"

It was none other than the master of the Crimson Fire Cave, an old demon lord in the Nascent Soul Middle Stage!

True Lord Huoyang was also in the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, but just looking at him from afar made him feel a chill run down his spine, and the Divine Ability light around him flickered.

At the same level, the higher the bloodline talent of Demon Cultivator, the higher their combat power, even surpassing that of a human cultivator at the same level.

The premise is that one cultivates oneself without relying on external objects.

"You've really come at the right time. Planning to go ashore already? Aren't you afraid we'll unite again and..."

True Lord Qingyu was speaking bitterly at first, but after saying half of it, he realized something and stopped talking.

Now that the twelve kingdoms have been reduced to Six Alliances, constantly at war with each other, how can they so easily set aside their grudges and join forces again?

Before the three could speak again, two more powerful Yao Qi surged in from the sea.

One surged forth a rolling black tide, within which turbid mist and fiery energy surged, and a gigantic black-scaled python, hundreds of feet long, could be vaguely seen writhing within it, appearing exceptionally ferocious and terrifying.

The other one was billowing yellow smoke, from which the clanging sounds of gold and jade stones clashing could be heard. The occasional glimpses of scales and claws confirmed its identity Demon Cultivator.

Two more Nascent Soul Demon Lord appeared, arriving one after the Crimson Flame Demon Lord, shrouded in formidable demonic power and accompanied by their blood relatives and former subordinates.

True Lord Huoyang's face immediately turned solemn, and he slowly said, "This is not a good sign..."
