Looks Like Dongfang Yao Still Packs a Punch
Within a secret realm.
It was a rather desolate area when viewed from afar.
Here, the ground is mostly soil and stone, and it is completely flat as far as the eye can see.
Even at night, this place is sparsely populated.
Most people who pass through this place quickly sense it and then do not linger.
At this moment, a slight ripple appeared in the void.
Then, within the illusion, a figure appeared and said in a loud voice:
"Things over there are almost done. How's the progress here?"
As the voice faded, another figure slowly appeared.
If any core disciples of the Extreme Arms Holy Land were present, they would be surprised to discover that the figure emerging from behind was none other than their ancestor!
"The work here is much more complicated. They've been busy for so long, and they're still far from finishing."
Jiang Yuanyin said, shaking his head slightly:
"Moving the Nine-Story Tower out of this secret realm is extremely difficult. For now, the best approach is to use it within the realm first."
The newcomer nodded, looked down, and after a moment said:
"We're still quite a ways off from the Nine-Story Tower's appearance. With the current methods, the descendants of various factions certainly can't trigger its Nine-Story Tower on their own."
Jiang Yuanyin nodded slightly and looked at the newcomer:
"Now that things are almost done on my senior brother's end, let the sect release some information to guide disciples from all sides to make changes so that the Nine-Story Tower can be activated as soon as possible."
"That's exactly why I came here." The man said, pausing slightly, then continued:
"Also, someone has discovered the ruins of what may be a teleportation array left by someone before us. Junior Brother Jiang, would you like to go and take a look?"
"Teleportation array ruins?" Jiang Yuanyin thought for a moment, then shook his head.
"I don't know much about formations. If you discover anything, just let me know later, and I won't waste any more time."
"Alright."
As soon as the voice faded, the person disappeared.
Jiang Yuanyin stood there for a moment, shook his head slightly, and then his figure slowly disappeared.
The next day, the sun rose.
Among the Eighteen City, Gu Chen and Xiao Ye embarked on their journey.
As the two left, they saw a large group of figures approaching from a distance.
Their burly figures made it easy to recognize that the people who came were none other than the Star Moon Holy Land.
"The people from the Star Moon Holy Land are here again!"
Someone spoke up, and everyone around tensed up, ready to retreat into the city at any moment.
At the same time, someone couldn't help but speak up:
"Are they here to get revenge?"
Soon, upon seeing the group's condition, many people couldn't help but breathe a slight sigh of relief.
Accompanying the disciples of the Star Moon Holy Land were several severely injured and dying spirit beasts.
Although the people from the Star Moon Holy Land all looked grim, as if they had swallowed flies, they did not exude any aura of power.
"So they've come to pay tribute."
After understanding the situation, everyone was filled with emotion, and at the same time, they couldn't help but recall the scene of threatening the people of the Star Moon Holy Land yesterday.
Who would have thought that the Star Moon Holy Land, with its extraordinary strength, would actually be so easily intimidated?
Having strength—no, having a large number of strong helpers—is truly of paramount importance.
On the other side, after confirming that the people from the Star Moon Holy Land were not there to cause trouble, Gu Chen and Xiao Ye's flying boat also headed towards Crescent Lake.
About an hour after the two left.
In the city, Lu Changzhi finally woke up from his sleep.
Lu Changzhi glanced at the latest news sent by Xunyuan Peak and his expression changed slightly.
"It seems the sect is preparing to move forward with the matter of the Nine-Story Tower."
The sect had issued a mission to make as many people as possible aware of the Nine-Story Tower.
Besides the benefits of entering the Nine-Story Tower, another important aspect is how to expedite Nine-Story Tower appearance from the secret realm.
"Since the Nine-Story Tower is almost finished, let's wait a little longer."
Lu Changzhi said softly.
The reason he was waiting was because he had an unused opportunity for Sudden Enlightenment.
As the saying goes, good steel should be used on the blade, Nine-Story Tower, a place even Ancestor Jiang (the legendary ancestor of Chinese medicine) valued highly, is clearly the most suitable.
Since it's almost here, let's not rush and wait a little longer.
After reviewing the other information, Lu Changzhi focused his attention on his External Avatar.
By calling out to the system, the location of Gu Chen and Xiao Ye was quickly determined.
"The journey is slower than I expected."
With a soft remark, Lu Changzhi waited where he was.
Knowing he wouldn't be able to get up, he deliberately placed his External Avatar near the path the two of them would inevitably take yesterday.
This way, I won't miss my sleep, and I won't have to rush to catch up.
As he waited, Lu Changzhi noticed a group of people approaching him from not far away.
Of course, to be precise, it means passing by my place.
After all, the current state of this External Avatar is not human.
I casually used the system to access the information of this group of people.
Almost all the names I saw began with the word "Dongfang" (East).
"Judging by their spirits, the people of the Dongfang Clan must have had a good harvest."
Their gazes settled on Dongfang Yao, the young man who led the group.
He still remembered this Dongfang Yao.
It wasn't that the other party had done anything wrong, but rather that when he first arrived in Heaven's Chosen City, he was trying to find opportunities, and the first person he looked at was this Dongfang Yao.
The result was that it wasn't a good start, but a bad one.
The main reason is the other party's talent for Stirring Up Trouble, that is, he can always use his abilities to cause trouble and disasters that others cannot at crucial moments.
In this respect, he was once reminded of Luo Zhen; the two were remarkably similar.
In addition, Dongfang Yao's [Dao of Formations Specialization] also reminded him of Xu Kun.
"However, judging from this, it seems that this talent for Stirring Up Trouble is still somewhat less powerful than Luo Zhen's."
Lu Changzhi made a rough estimate.
After all, judging from the expressions on the faces of the Dongfang Clan accompanying Dongfang Yao, they didn't seem to have encountered any danger or trouble.
It's more like they've received some great opportunity or benefit.
With a sudden thought, Lu Changzhi tried to assess the fortune of this group of people.
Then, Lu Changzhi fell silent for a moment.
He intends to retract what he just said.
To put it simply, regarding the specific fortune of these people, apart from Dongfang Yao whose fortune was tinged with black, the fortune of the others was mostly tinged with bloodlust. Although the degree was not as deep as Liu Qingyan's before, since they had it, it was definitely not a good thing.
"It seems it's not as bad as I thought; it does have some power after all."
Lu Changzhi couldn't help but shake his head at this.
If he had limited energy, he would like to follow along and see how the other party Stirring Up Trouble.
However, that's not feasible right now.
Gu Chen and Xiao Ye were already approaching.
Let's go to Crescent Lake first, find out what happened in the Trial Realm back then, and what kind of crisis might exist before we proceed.
As for Dongfang Yao, I'll look into it when I have some free time.
As Gu Chen's flying boat passed by, his External Avatar followed closely behind a moment later.
