The backyard of the Dao Treasure Pavilion.
Four people sat around playing cards.
A figure suddenly appeared beside Chen Changsheng, respectfully saying, "Director, a secret realm has been discovered in the Fourth District, but it has been occupied by disciples of the Xuan Tian Holy Land."
Chen Changsheng, who was playing cards with the girls, paused and turned his head in confusion, "What did you say? Xuan Tian Holy Land? Are you sure?"
This is太平[Tàipíng] City!
Disciples of the Xuan Tian Holy Land appearing in太平[Tàipíng] City and seizing the opportunity of a secret realm?
Isn't that a bit of a fantasy?
"Yes, they claim to be from the Xuan Tian Holy Land. We can't verify the truth of their words for now, but they are quite arrogant and blocking the entrance to the secret realm," the太平[Tàipíng] City disciple replied truthfully.
The message was reported too hastily to determine whether they were using the name of the Xuan Tian Holy Land.
But generally speaking, no one would impersonate a Holy Land.
Firstly, the number of Holy Land disciples is small, and they are rarely encountered in the cultivation world. Secondly, if the Holy Land investigates, the impersonator will die miserably. Even the names of demons and evil beings are more useful.
Chen Changsheng continued to draw and play cards, as if nothing had happened, "What is their strength? I remember Ning Zun and his sister Ning Jing are in the Fourth District. They should be able to handle it, right?"
"Their cultivation is between the Qi Refining and Golden Core stages. The Ning siblings are indeed in the Fourth District, but we dare not offend the disciples of the Xuan Tian Holy Land too much..."
"Offend? They are the ones invading太平[Tàipíng] City and seizing resources. They are the ones offending太平[Tàipíng] City, not the other way around. Don't distort the facts."
Chen Changsheng flipped over his mahjong tile.
"I win!"
Chen Qianqian, sitting on the left, smiled and said, "If they are really disciples of the Xuan Tian Holy Land, Ning Zun and Ning Jing's strength might be a bit lacking. The foundation of a Holy Land should not be underestimated. Why don't I go there myself?"
"No need, I'll go. I'd like to see the abilities of the Holy Land disciples."
Chen Changsheng waved his sleeves, and the moment he stood up, he遁入[dùnrù] entered the void, rushing to the Fourth District at an astonishing speed.
...
Inside the dark and humid cave, energy stirred up a storm, and disciples of the Xuan Tian Holy Land stood in opposition to the cultivators of太平[Tàipíng] City.
Shangguan Yi was full of murderous intent, shaking off the blood on her sword.
She looked coldly at the dozens of dead and wounded cultivators in front of her, disdainfully saying:
"You're really ignorant. I told you that this place has been taken over by the Xuan Tian Holy Land, but you insisted on coming to die. Not even a Golden Core stage cultivator. Is this the foundation of太平[Tàipíng] City? It seems I overestimated you."
"I don't even need Senior Brother Zhao to take action. I alone am enough to destroy all of you!"
Many cultivators lay on the ground inside the cave, injured and filled with anger.
Being at the same Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment cultivation levels, they couldn't even beat the other party's ten-odd people combined. They were truly disgraced and humiliated beyond compare.
At this moment, two Golden Core auras swept over, and the cultivators of太平[Tàipíng] City immediately turned their anger into joy.
Ning Zun and Ning Jing had arrived!
"Just two Golden Core cultivators, yet you dare to spout nonsense?"
Shangguan Yi's true energy erupted, and sword energy and Dao techniques swept across, directly slashing towards Ning Zun and Ning Jing.
The three figures transformed into streaks of light, fiercely clashing in the winding and rugged cave.
The entire cave trembled, causing rumbling sounds like an earth dragon turning over.
The injured cultivators of太平[Tàipíng] City took the opportunity to retreat outside the cave. The Golden Core aura emanating from the cave was astonishing.
Subsequently, the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment stage Holy Land cultivators also withdrew from the cave. The battle of Golden Core cultivators was no small matter; the aftermath of their Dao techniques could kill them on the spot.
Seeing this, the cultivators of太平[Tàipíng] City immediately surrounded them.
"What are you trying to do? Do you want to be unfavorable to my Xuan Tian Holy Land?"
The Xuan Tian Holy Land cultivators vigilantly used defensive Dao techniques, sternly warning, "Don't think you can win. Once Senior Brother Zhao takes action, both of them will die!"
"What a joke. You're causing trouble in太平[Tàipíng] City and still want to leave unscathed? You are now illegally invading and seizing太平[Tàipíng] City's resources. We have the right to control you."
"You want to leave after causing trouble in太平[Tàipíng] City?"
Hundreds of cultivators flew in from all directions.
With the leader's command, Dao techniques and formations were used in a one-stop service, directly suppressing and binding all the Holy Land disciples outside the cave.
As the number of太平[Tàipíng] City cultivators increased, everyone's courage also grew. Why should they be timid when doing things in their own home?
Even if you are from the Xuan Tian Holy Land, it's not allowed to rush into their home to snatch things. The Ancient Immortal orthodoxy is not to be trifled with!
...
At this moment, Shangguan Yi was unaware of the situation outside. She was doing her best to fight two opponents.
Ning Zun and Ning Jing's Dao technique level was somewhat beyond her expectations.
The two figures took turns entering the void, their speed so fast that even divine sense could hardly capture them, forcing her to rely on quick reactions to dodge.
Deep purple chains stretched out from the void, relentlessly chasing after her like灵蛇[língshé] spirit snakes.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, a chain flew out from the dark corner of the cave, accurately latching onto Shangguan Yi's slender waist.
Ning Jing's figure appeared from the void, gripping the top of the chain with both hands and yanking it violently.
Boom!
Shangguan Yi felt like she was a held meteor hammer, suddenly smashing through the hard cave wall.
Immediately afterwards, overwhelming sword energy spread out, forcibly tearing apart the chain's restraints. Just as she was about to counterattack Ning Jing, a chain emerged from a tricky angle in the void with a whoosh.
This time, the chain bound her hands. Ning Zun's hands bloomed with thunder techniques, rapidly spreading along the chain.
Anxious lightning struck Shangguan Yi's body, scorching her skin and numbing her whole body.
Ning Jing seized the opportunity to use void techniques, and several deep purple chains suddenly flew out from the deep purple void space.
This was an extension of the void technique, the void chains that the siblings had comprehended during their travels with Zhang Qingxuan.
The siblings cooperated tacitly, like Yama, the soul-reaping king, manipulating one chain after another, binding Shangguan Yi in mid-air in an embarrassing posture.
Shangguan Yi's cheeks flushed red, and her true energy spread out like a raging wave, creating a deafening roar.
However, no matter how hard she struggled, she couldn't shake the chains in the slightest, and she couldn't help but angrily and shamefully say, "Let me go! Do you know that I am a disciple of the Xuan Tian Holy Land? Senior Brother Zhao, a direct disciple of the Holy Land, is nearby. If he comes, you will suffer!"
"Even the disciples of the Xuan Tian Holy Land are subdued by our siblings. I still prefer your unruly appearance just now," Ning Zun chuckled.
Ning Jing's figure floated out of the void, expressionlessly reminding, "Brother Zun, don't be careless. She said there is still a direct disciple, who is at least at the Golden Core stage. Let's take this woman out first and notify Director to handle it."
"Senior Brother Zhao, save me!!"
Shangguan Yi shouted hysterically in one direction.
Boom!
Suddenly, an invisible force enveloped them.
Ning Zun and Ning Jing's expressions changed drastically. Just as they were about to enter the void to avoid it, they suddenly found their bodies bound by an invisible force, unable to move in mid-air.
"Puff!"
The next second, the two spat out blood and flew horizontally as if they had been struck hard, their figures turning into black lines, continuously crashing through several cave walls.
