Three of the Sacred Envoy of Boyu had come after them. They were blown into the sky by a talisman from Li Qiang on the nameless planet. Although they were not injured, they were in a sorry state. In addition, the teleportation array was shattered, and they lost their trail for a while.

The three men searched aggressively, and since many planets in this area were inhabited by cultivators, they easily found some cultivators and interrogated them about how they were no match for them. Soon they found the location of Sealed Fate Planet.

Unfortunately, they stumbled upon the Sacred City's outpost, which was a satellite of Sealed Fate Planet. The outer perimeter was protected by a barrier, but they didn't care about anything else and immediately began to break through it as soon as they came into contact with it.

The restrictions on the Sacred City were set up by Qian Shanyong, and were not methods used by ordinary Cultivation Realm. The three of them failed to break the restrictions, but instead attracted countless disciples of the Sacred City. The two sides started fighting after exchanging only a few words.

The disciples of the Sacred City were all cultivators, and although they were very strong in the Cultivation Realm, their opponents were experts from Xinbo Cape. How could these cultivators be a match for them? Several of them were quickly injured.

This enraged the cultivators of the Sacred City, and some experts at the Spirit Severing Realm and Body Integration Realm attacked. As a result, each of Bo Yu's three Holy Envoys released a strange cyan wave, severely injuring the Sacred City experts who came out to fight.

When Qian Shanyong and Li Qiang arrived, the cultivators of the Sacred City had already retreated and were fully activating the Sacred City's protective barriers, resulting in a temporary stalemate between the two sides.

The Sacred City's base is a planet orbiting Sealed Fate Planet. After being repaired by Qian Shanyong with immense Law Power, and through the tireless efforts of the Sacred City's cultivators, the entire planet was transformed into a massive fortress.

The Sacred City has three layers of defense, all constructed with Immortal Method, making them difficult even for Luo Heaven High Immortal to break through. Let alone three Holy Envoys, even if Seven Sacred Envoys of Boyu came together, they might not be able to break through the Sacred City's defensive restrictions.

Qian Shanyong and his group quietly appeared behind the three holy envoys, who were still vigorously attacking the defenses, with deafening roars.

Li Qiang glanced at Qian Shanyong and found that he was really angry, his face was terribly gloomy.

Chiming followed behind Li Qiang and whispered, "Big brother, is this his house? Hehe, how pitiful, someone attacked his home. Big brother, are you going to go and fight back?"

Li Qiang turned to look at him with a half-smile and said, "Are you bored and want to fight to relieve your boredom...?"

For some reason, Chiming felt uneasy whenever he saw Li Qiang's smile. He chuckled awkwardly and quickly moved aside.

Qian Shanyong said calmly, "You all stay here and watch." He flew over slowly, clapping as he flew, "How impressive! How skillful! Amazing! Xinbo Cape a bunch of blind fools... Fight on... Why did you stop? Keep fighting!" His voice was as cold as the winter wind, and everyone could hear the hatred in his words.

Dainan Fengyu whispered, "Brother Qian is really angry. Let's move closer."

Li Qiang finally saw the true face of the Sacred Envoy of Boyu, and a chill ran through him.

The appearance and clothing of these three men were completely unexpected to him. Each of them was bigger than the last, the shortest being over two meters tall and the tallest being two and a half meters tall, twice as wide as him. Their armor gleamed with a bluish light, seemingly made of metal, and their faces were completely hidden in a strange mask. The tallest of them also had three strange long chains on his back, with sharp triangular ends.

Li Qiang asked in a low voice, "Who are they? Why are they so strange?"

Tianshi said, " Xinbo Cape is a very strange place. As far as I know, the people there are completely different from the people here. They are anomalies. Because they live in this realm, the Immortal Realm doesn't bother with them. As long as they don't interfere with the Cultivation Realm, the Immortal Realm won't bother with them. They are born as savage warriors with extremely strong strength."

Li Qiang muttered to himself, "A born savage warrior?"

Tianshi nodded and said, "They possess many strange abilities, completely different from those of the Cultivation Realm, and rarely seen even in the Immortal Realm. Fortunately, they are basically inseparable from Xinbo Cape, and only a very few can leave with the power of the Holy Armor..." Before he could finish speaking, a strange howling sound rang out.

The three holy envoys didn't care who the visitor was. They acted as if they hadn't heard Qian Shanyong's words. The tallest of the three holy envoys glanced at Qian Shanyong, and suddenly his holy armor shone with a bright blue light, while the three chains on his back shimmered with a faint golden radiance.

With a piercing shriek, the three chains clanged together with a sharp sound and "whoosh" swept towards Qian Shanyong. Almost simultaneously, the two holy envoys beside him also made their move.

Not only Qian Shanyong, but even Li Qiang and the others following behind him were enraged. These three were too unreasonable.

Chiming took out the All-Heaven Divine Staff and lunged at the three of them with a strange laugh.

Dainan Fengyu gave a soft shout and instantly teleported behind the three of them.

Tianshi swayed to the left, Hen Buyi to the right, and Li Qiang sank down to block the three of them from below.

In the blink of an eye, the group, with remarkable coordination, trapped the three holy envoys in the center.

Qian Shanyong's Fierce Condemnation erupted.

No one expected that Qian Shanyong's first move would be Fierce Condemnation; he was probably driven mad with anger.

Seeing the situation was dire, Li Qiang swung his War Soul Saber to protect himself and quickly dodged downwards, knowing how powerful that thing was.

Chiming, who had also suffered from Fierce Condemnation, shot out a string of golden stars from his All-Heaven Divine Staff and flew upwards.

Dainan Fengyu activated her bracelet and retreated as well.

Except for Hen Buyi, everyone else retreated.

The three holy envoys from Xinbo Cape then realized something was wrong. They hadn't expected there to be such a powerful expert here. The three of them were trapped in the black ripples emitted by the Fierce Condemnation and struggled desperately.

Hen Buyi was jolted to the brink of Fierce Condemnation. He hurriedly unleashed a Immortal-Gathering Thunder, and using the recoil, he escaped in a sorry state, cursing under his breath.

The three envoys tumbled and rolled in the Fierce Condemnation ripples. The tall envoy let out a sharp roar, and the three chains on his back flashed with golden light. Two of them quickly broke through the ripples and extended to the other two envoys. The two of them grabbed the chains at the same time, and the three of them finally came together under the pull of the chains.

Three streaks of azure light flashed, and the three people quickly connected, forming a strange, enormous creature.

Qian Shanyong immediately sensed something was wrong; the combined strength of the three of them greatly increased.

The three holy envoys were like sharp arrows piercing through the clouds and mist; the ripples Fierce Condemnation emitted were fiercely split open, and a golden chain rapidly coiled towards Qian Shanyong.

Qian Shanyong sneered and shouted, "You dare to show off this little thing here!" He gently turned his hands, and the Immortal Spirit Instruction was suddenly released, the Fierce Condemnation ripples immediately changing.

Li Qiang looked up and saw a huge black vortex appearing in the sky, making a rumbling sound. He was startled. It seemed that Qian Shanyong had not fully unleashed the power of his Fierce Condemnation last time.

Suddenly, Li Qiang understood that Qian Shanyong had never intended to do anything to him from the beginning; he was merely testing his strength.

The form of the Fierce Condemnation changed drastically, and the outward-rushing black ripples formed a huge vortex, causing the three holy envoys to struggle once again in the black torrent.

Qian Shanyong shouted, "That's all! You three think you can show off here? If it were your Black Sacred Guards from Xinbo Cape, that would be more like it. Hmph, let me teach you a lesson first, sir!"

A golden light Fierce Condemnation ripples. With a loud "crack," the three were thrown around in the vortex like balls, their sharp screams filled with terror.

The three of them finally lost their nerve. They were utterly humiliated as soon as they made a move. Although they were protected by holy armor, they were unable to fight back. It was a truly pathetic situation.

Another scream rang out, and one of the three holy envoys raised a glowing bead, uttering a string of strange words that none of the people present could understand.

As he spoke haltingly, the bead in his hand began to swell and glow, and the black ripples emitted by the Fierce Condemnation could not conceal the bead's brilliance.

The man spoke more and more urgently, his voice growing louder and louder, and gradually, the bead emitted countless rays of white light.

Dainan Fengyu shouted, "Brother Qian, be careful!"

Qian Shanyong was extremely experienced in combat. Although he didn't know what the guy was holding, he knew it must be something powerful.

He continuously made hand Immortal Spirit Instruction and shouted, "Condense!" The swirling black ripples surged rapidly towards the three holy envoys, enveloping them.

Soon, the fluctuating black patterns gradually solidified, trapping the three people inside, like tiny insects frozen in ice.

The holy messenger who held the shimmering bead could no longer utter a sound; the bead still shone with a blinding white light.

From afar, Chiming shouted in admiration, "Amazing! Immortal Luo Heaven High Immortal is truly remarkable! He subdued them cleanly and efficiently, haha!"

Li Qiang also laughed and said, "Of course the boss of Sacred City is powerful..." The two brothers flattered Qian Shanyong in unison.

Tianshi, Dainan Fengyu, and Hen Buyi stepped forward together. Li Qiang and Chiming praised Qian Shanyong, but instead of moving forward, they took a small step back.

Since witnessing Chi Wuyu's power, Li Qiang has become even more cautious than before. Chiming is a cultivator who is still not confident in his own strength after cultivating to godhood. It's better for Li Qiang to stay away from someone who can contend with Luo Heaven High Immortal.

Both of them instinctively moved away, not actually noticing anything amiss, and therefore did not issue a warning.

Tianshi and the others had too much confidence in Qian Shanyong. Seeing that Qian Shanyong subdued the three holy envoys, they flew over together.

Just as Qian Shanyong finished his last Immortal Spirit Instruction, he suddenly felt uneasy and hurriedly activated his immortal armor's defense to its maximum.

Having spent so much time with Qian Shanyong, Dainan Fengyu suddenly realized what was happening. She rapidly activated her immortal armor, and countless colorful ribbons flew from her bracelet, enveloping her. She cried out, "Everyone, be careful!"

In an instant, the bead in the envoy's hand exploded.

No one expected the bead to explode with such power; the three holy envoys shattered into countless fragments on the spot, and the solidified energy formed by the Fierce Condemnation also dissipated.

Chiming was the furthest away and reacted the fastest; in that instant, he teleported away.

Li Qiang did not leave. He formed a golden light barrier with his War Soul Saber in front of him, his eyes fixed on Qian Shanyong.

At the same time as the explosion, Qian Shanyong into the air; he had immediately dodged away as soon as he sensed something was wrong.

Dainan Fengyu also teleported away, leaving only Tianshi and Hen Buyi affected.

Tianshi was, after all, an immortal. His strength and reaction speed were both top-notch. Two rapidly spinning red and white orbs of light suddenly appeared in front of him. Although the huge shockwave pushed him far away, it did not harm him in the slightest.

Hen Buyi suffered a great loss; he was the weakest among them and not quick-witted enough, so he was immediately drawn into the mess.

The shockwave from the explosion shimmered with countless fine, cyan needles. They would immediately converge upon any obstacle they encountered, like iron needles meeting a magnet, and their numbers would only increase.

Li Qiang didn't pay much attention at first, but after a while, he felt the War Soul Saber getting heavier and heavier, which surprised him. He suddenly expanded the golden light screen, but more cyan needles were attracted to it.

What made things even more embarrassing for Li Qiang was that, because he expanded his protective light barrier, he not only attracted more cyan needles, but even the Hen Buyi, whose body was covered in porcupine-like thorns, was drawn to him.

Li Qiang knew that if Hen Buyi were to crash into the light barrier formed by the War Soul Saber, he would be severely injured, if not killed. His defenses would not be able to withstand the War Soul Saber. Helpless, Li Qiang had no choice but to turn around and fly away.

The exploding bead from the Holy Envoy shattered the outermost layer of defense of the Sacred City, leaving behind a sky full of flying blue light, Li Qiang flying around in all directions, and Hen Buyi following closely behind.

When Chiming teleported back and saw this scene, he was so surprised that his eyes almost popped out. He laughed strangely, "Haha, big brother, Old Hen isn't a woman, why are you hiding?"

Li Qiang cursed, "Damn it, what are you watching for! Don't let Old Hen run into my blade barrier, separate him... watch out for the blue light on his body."

After Tianshi dispelling the azure light surrounding him, Tian Shi shouted, "This is the Great Slaughter-Chasing Needle, cultivated in my true form... Only my natal fire can incinerate it!"

Hen Buyi had been struggling to hold on, desperately resisting the Great Slaughter-Chasing Needle. He was stunned by the explosion, but thanks to Tianshi's reminder, pale blue flames rose from his body, and the Great Slaughter-Chasing Needle around him quickly entered the flames.

Li Qiang shouted, "Where did I get this natal fire... Ugh... This thing is so annoying!"

Qian Shanyong shouted, "Any true fire is acceptable, but absolutely do not use yin fire!"

Li Qiang understood; they wanted to use Yang Gang True Fire. He was a master of fire manipulation, but he hadn't realized it for a moment.

The War Soul Saber suddenly transformed into a raging inferno, emitting a startling rumbling sound.

Before long, the Great Slaughter-Chasing Needle adhering to the War Soul Saber gradually disappeared, and Li Qiang felt that the War Soul Saber in his hand was much lighter and more agile.

Soon, the flying Great Slaughter-Chasing Needle were swept away by everyone's concerted efforts.

Hen Buyi a severe blow to his vital energy. Fortunately, he was Loose Immortal without a physical body, otherwise he would have been in serious trouble.

He felt a sense of panic. He had less than a hundred years left before his second tribulation, and being injured now would be fatal for him. He didn't have enough time to cultivate.

Li Qiang said, "I didn't expect the Three Holy Envoys to self-destruct and die. Impressive." He was very puzzled. Although the Three Holy Envoys could not defeat Qian Shanyong, there was no need to use such extreme Law Technique to fight to the death. Are the people of Xinbo Cape all so terrifying that they would use powerful Law Treasure recklessly as soon as they sensed something was wrong? He really couldn't understand it.

Qian Shanyong shook his head and said, "They didn't die; they went back to Xinbo Cape."

Tianshi interjected, "They won't die, but these three won't be able to fight for a long time. Old Qian, they already know about this place; it'll be troublesome later."

Chiming said recklessly, "Come on, let's fight! Ha, who's afraid of who?"

Li Qiang said, "Don't be reckless. We're not afraid of fighting, but the cultivators on Sealed Fate Planet can't handle it. Old Qian, maybe the only solution is to go to Xinbo Cape..." After saying that, he stared intently at Qian Shanyong. If he didn't care about the safety of Sealed Fate Planet, his plan would fall through.

Qian Shanyong thought for a moment and said, "It seems the only option is to go to Xinbo Cape. Ugh, that awful place..."

Li Qiang felt a surge of secret joy. He discovered that Qian Shanyong had deep feelings for Sealed Fate Planet, like a protective old man who would step in to stop anyone who threatened his children and grandchildren.

Based on this alone, Li Qiang's impression of Qian Shanyong improved considerably.

Hen Buyi sighed, "Lord Gan, I'm afraid I can't go..."

Qian Shanyong said, "This injury is nothing to worry about; he'll heal you quickly." He pointed at Li Qiang and said confidently.

Li Qiang laughed and said, " Old Hen, I'm about to cultivate the Divine Pill on Sealed Fate Planet. If you're lucky, your injuries will heal quickly, and with the effects of the Divine Pill, your next tribulation might be much easier."

Upon hearing this, Hen Buyi immediately felt much better and hurriedly stepped forward to express his gratitude.

Li Qiang grabbed him and laughed, " Old Hen, don't be so polite, we're all on the same side. By the way, I ran into Bai Huang the other day..."

Hen Buyi asked in surprise, "Oh, how is Brother Bai Huang?"

Li Qiang shook his head and said, "He couldn't overcome the tribulation; his soul was scattered."

Hen Buyi sighed deeply, his mood somber. "Brother Bai Huang... what a pity, what a pity... he was too proud." He paused, then continued, "I once advised him to Liberation by Violence his Loose Immortal and cultivate as a wandering immortal, but alas, Brother Bai Huang was truly arrogant and disdainful of that path... Where did he undergo his tribulation?"

Li Qiang said, "On the Heavenly Court Star." He didn't want to explain anymore; every cultivator had their own choices, and all their efforts would bear fruit during the tribulation.

The fate of the Old Man Baihuang was almost predetermined, and he himself knew it in his heart. However, he must have been trying to survive the tribulation by clinging to the belief that human will can overcome fate and by relying on the picture book, but in the end, he was reduced to ashes.

Qian Shanyong said, "Brother, let's go to the Sacred City to refine pills; it's safer there."

Li Qiang said, "No, I prefer to refine pills at the Ancient Sword Academy." He had a plan in mind: he would invite experts from the Ancient Sword Academy and the Chongxuan Sect to observe the cultivation of divine pills and let them experience the essence of pill refining for themselves.

He laughed and said, " Old Qian, don't be so stingy. If you feel your disciple is being taken advantage of, then let them all come and see."

Qian Shanyong laughed and scolded, "You're too clever for your own good. Fine, we'll go as you say." With a flick of his sleeve, a golden light enveloped everyone and they were instantly teleported away.

The group returned to the Ancient Sword Academy and landed on the training ground of the Golden Qilin Sword Academy.

There were hundreds of cultivators standing in the training ground, including disciples of the Chongxuan Sect.

As soon as Qian Shanyong, Li Qiang and the others appeared, the surrounding cultivators were forced back by the aura they exuded, and a large area of the training ground was immediately cleared.

Li Qiang asked curiously, "What's going on here? Why are you all standing here?"

Qian Chi'ou rushed over and said to Li Qiang, "Was it Junior Uncle and you... fighting with someone just now? The whole sky brightened up, and all the sects forbade their disciples to go out and watch, so everyone stayed in the training ground."

Li Qiang nodded and said, "Have the disciples disperse."

"Master! Master!"

Li Qiang turned his head and couldn't help but smile, "It's Yi Qing and Shengzhen. Are you getting used to it?" He felt a little guilty. He was always running around and had no time to teach his disciples. Only Zhao Hao was doing a little better. As for the other disciples' cultivation, heaven knew.

Xuanyuan Yiqing glanced at Qian Shanyong and the others, and whispered, "Master, this place is wonderful, completely different from our Linming Planet. Master, how come there are so many immortal seniors here?"

Bai Shengzhen stepped forward respectfully and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Master."

The disciples gradually dispersed, and Misila and Liu Dayue from the Chongxuan Sect walked over.

Liu Dayue bowed and said, "Junior Uncle, is this your newly accepted disciple?" He had been eagerly waiting for Li Qiang's disciple, and now that he had seen him, he was determined not to let him go.

Misila laughed, " Dayue, you're too impatient. Can't you wait a bit? Brother, when are you planning to leave this time?"

Li Qiang smiled wryly, "Brother Mi, Dayue, it seems we'll be leaving soon, and to a very far place. Dayue, I promised you last time I'd send two disciples to the Chongxuan Sect. These are Xuanyuan Yiqing and Bai Shengzhen, both disciples I took in at Linming Planet."

Xuanyuan Yiqing and Bai Shengzhen hurriedly stepped forward to pay their respects.

Liu Dayue readily agreed, then grabbed one person in each hand and gave each of them a flying sword.

Feeling embarrassed, Misila quickly found two Law Treasure and gave them to them.

Xuanyuan Yiqing and Bai Shengzhen surprised to obtain two Law Treasure so easily, and couldn't help but marvel at how impossible this would be in Linming Planet. They were unaware that the Chongxuan Sect was renowned for its weapon crafting.

Li Qiang said, " Dayue, from now on you'll be in charge of guiding their cultivation. I won't be staying on Sealed Fate Planet for very long. Maybe next time I come back, we'll be heading back home." He unceremoniously handed the responsibility to Liu Dayue.

Misila shook his head and laughed, "You brothers in this lineage... sigh, you're all the same. You take in disciples and then abandon them, running off to do whatever you want. Brother Wu and Brother Fu are the same."

Upon hearing that he was returning to his hometown, Liu Dayue disregarded everything else. He would have done anything ten times more difficult than taking care of two disciples. He nodded repeatedly and said, "Don't worry, Junior Uncle, I will definitely teach my two junior brothers well... Then I'll take them back to the Chongxuan Sect first."

Li Qiang reached out to stop them, saying, " Dayue, Brother Mi, don't rush off. I'm about to start refining pills here. All the experts in alchemy from the Chongxuan Sect are welcome to come and watch. This time, we're cultivating a divine pill."

Li Qiang's last words stunned Misila and the Qian Chi'ou beside him. Alchemy is a compulsory course for every cultivator. Even immortals would not give up the opportunity to see the cultivation pill, let alone cultivators.

Misila said excitedly, " Dayue, send your two junior disciples back to the Chongxuan Sect and immediately notify the sect's experts to come and learn. Also, invite Brother Chen Zhifeng over. Hehe, if I don't notify him... my brother will scold me to death."

After agreeing, Liu Dayue left with Xuanyuan Yiqing and Bai Shengzhen.

Qian Chi'ou said, " Senior Hou and Senior Xuan Long have already arrived at the Ancient Sword Academy. They were personally escorted back by Paben and are now recuperating in the Encircling Sword Pavilion. Should Junior Uncle go and see them?"

Before Li Qiang could answer, Qian Shanyong and Dainan Fengyu came over.

Li Qiang knew that Qian Shanyong had been keeping an eye on things here, and he had already heard the news of Xuan Long's arrival.

Qian Shanyong said, " Wood Dragon arrived? Take me to see him."

Li Qiang asked in surprise, "It's Xuan Long... Where did this Wood Dragon come from?"

Dainan Fengyu said with a grin, " Xuan Long's nickname in the Immortal Realm is 'Wooden Dragon '."

Li Qiang looked on in surprise. He glanced at Qian Shanyong and asked, " Old Qian, what's your nickname? I'm really curious."
