First, Wait and See; If Things Go Badly, It Won't Be Too Late to Leave
Night falls in the city.
Inside the room, Luo Zhen stood with his legs apart, glanced down, then looked up at the night sky, his expression one of utter frustration.
"Why can such severe injuries heal so quickly, but this..."
Even after all this time, that feeling of being out of touch still hasn't returned.
He swayed his body, then let out a long sigh, adding to his sense of frustration.
"It seems I can no longer wear the storage ring."
Looking up at his empty palm, Luo Zhen murmured softly.
He felt as if he had some kind of grudge against the storage ring.
Last time, the storage ring vanished into thin air at a crucial moment; this time, it simply exploded.
None of them were able to stay properly.
"It seems this storage ring belongs to the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty."
Lu Changzhi withdrew his attention from his storage ring and spoke softly.
Just before going to sleep, he suddenly remembered this.
After looking at it, there's nothing particularly noteworthy.
Inside were several bottles; when gently opened, a strong smell of blood wafted out.
According to the system's description, these bottles contain the essence and blood of human cultivators.
Considering Luo Zhen's situation, he quickly came to a rough guess.
"They were already collecting essence blood, and now they've lost so much. The Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty might not be able to hold out much longer."
Lu Changzhi glanced in the direction of the Southern Region and spoke softly.
We need to keep a close eye on Zhou Xun's situation during this time.
After putting away the storage ring, Lu Changzhi lay down on the bed and went to sleep.
The night passed quickly.
After a period of intense activity, the fervor surrounding the Eastern Region has begun to subside.
After all, despite the great commotion, there's been no concrete discovery of anything.
However, despite not finding any treasures or anything like that, some people still took notice.
Unbeknownst to many, the cultivation environment in the Eastern Region seems to be improving.
This conjecture was later confirmed by others.
For a moment, everyone who came had the same feeling.
The Eastern Region, especially the Heaven-Reaching Mountain Range, is likely to become a highly sought-after area.
Still nothing found.
Inside the flying boat, Qin Jiuxiao looked down, his brows slightly furrowed.
This trip to the Eastern Region, while nothing bad happened, didn't bring me any unexpected opportunities either.
After several days of this exploration, they had gained absolutely nothing.
It's somewhat of a waste of time.
"No, we can't stay in the Eastern Region any longer." Qin Jiuxiao looked towards the Eastern Region.
There's not much time left to decide the position of the Holy Son; I need to go back and make some more preparations.
If nothing unexpected happens, I should be able to make another breakthrough in the future.
As for the Eastern Region, since we haven't been able to find it for so long, it seems there really isn't much left.
At that moment, he spoke up to the Human Dao who were with him:
"Let's go, prepare to return to the holy land."
Upon hearing this, the others in the group did not object.
The flying boat changed direction and began heading towards the Cloud Heaven Holy Land.
After proceeding in this manner for some time...
Ahead, several flying boats that were moving forward suddenly changed direction and sped straight toward the flying boat where Qin Jiuxiao was.
"Not good!"
Someone noticed this and immediately spoke up, hissing:
"A flying boat is heading towards us; I'm afraid they're up to no good!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Jiuxiao immediately looked over.
His expression quickly darkened.
This trip to the Eastern Region was about to end, and now they have to pick this crucial moment to cause trouble for themselves!
Brush.
With a flash of light, a talisman appeared in Qin Jiuxiao's hand.
However, it did not rush to use it.
Aside from the high value of the talisman used for escape, another reason was that the last time he used it, he had just teleported away when he was hit by something and lost all his belongings.
For now, let's hold onto it and wait and see.
If the situation becomes unfavorable, it's not too late to leave!
Four flying boats approached each other in an arc shape, the distance between them constantly decreasing.
"We are people from the Cloud Heaven Holy Land. What is the meaning of your actions?"
From within the flying boat, an accompanying elder stepped out, looked at the several flying boats, and asked in a deep voice.
Swish, swish, swish.
Several figures emerged from the arriving flying boats.
They all wore black robes and masked faces.
Such attire caused the faces of several elders from the holy land to darken instantly.
"Enemy attack! Defend against the enemy!"
As soon as the voice fell, light surged across the surface of the flying boat, and a defensive array rose up.
At the same time, several elders from the holy land activated their auras, took out their weapons, and looked warily at the people arriving by the flying boat.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh.
The men in black, without uttering a word, acted swiftly and decisively, attacking the airship.
"Not good!"
An elder from the Cloud Heaven Holy Land gave a low shout and said:
"There's Transcendent Realm expert!"
As soon as the words fell, the expressions of Qin Jiuxiao and the others in the flying boat all changed.
Transcendent Realm expert, leading so many people, with such a grand display—was it specifically targeting them?
Qin Jiuxiao's expression changed, and he raised his hand, intending to use the talisman.
At that moment, a low shout rang out, as loud as thunder.
Do you all think that my Cloud Heaven Holy Land is easy to bully?
The sound was like rolling thunder, resounding throughout the land, its power immense.
Along with the sound came an astonishing power, accompanied by a vast aura that rippled outwards from the center of Qin Jiuxiao and the others' flying boat.
Under this influence, the movements of all the men in black paused.
Meanwhile, inside the airship cabin, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"As expected, the Holy Land did have a backup plan."
"That's good. Now that the powerful figures from our Holy Land have stepped forward, the trouble should be resolved."
"It's all thanks to Senior Brother Qin. As a quasi-saint, even the elders secretly protecting him are so strong. It's truly enviable."
Qin Jiuxiao didn't say anything, but temporarily lowered his raised hand.
Suddenly another voice rang out:
"Yes."
As if in response to the voice just now, thick black smoke appeared out of thin air and spread out at the same time as the voice rang out.
This black smoke was extremely unique; it was not ordinary smoke, but pitch black. Wherever it spread, it not only made it impossible to see through, but also interfered with the exploration of divine sense.
At the same time, a series of breaths emerged.
Boom boom boom!
Three Transcendent Realm auras surged into the sky in succession.
The Holy Land elder, who had just calmed down, immediately changed his expression again.
The fact that the other side sent so many powerful individuals suggests that this was premeditated.
Immediately, he spoke up, hissing in a low voice:
"Hurry up!"
As the sound rang out, the airship abruptly changed direction, heading towards a place where there were no obstacles behind it.
At the same time, above the flying boat, the Transcendent Realm expert from the Holy Land also made his move, gathering powerful offensive and defensive techniques in an attempt to delay the three Transcendent Realm experts.
