The arrival of the Xuantian Holy Land was not as aggressive as imagined.
The leading youth was a cultivator in the Transformation God stage, and the strength of the others was below him. Apart from this imposing golden chariot, no one else was seen.
The Xuantian Holy Land cultivators who came to Taiping City numbered less than thirty, and the highest cultivation was only in the Transformation God stage.
They were as relaxed and comfortable as if they were returning home, with a hint of pride and confidence of wealthy people returning to their hometown.
It was truly outrageous!
"Greetings, everyone, members of the Ancient Immortal Dao lineage! I have long admired you!"
The leading youth had handsome features, but his smile always gave people a cold and gloomy feeling. He introduced himself, "I am Zhang Cheng, a direct disciple of the Xuantian Holy Land, here to take back my disappointing junior brother."
Although both were direct disciples of the Holy Land, there was a difference of two major realms between Zhang Cheng and Zhao Li's cultivation.
"Did you bring the apology gifts?" Luo Liuxi asked in an indifferent tone.
As the saying goes, one shouldn't hit a smiling face.
Since the Xuantian Holy Land was putting on such a friendly attitude, Taiping City would play along to see what their intentions were.
"Of course, it was our Xuantian Holy Land that offended you first, so we should apologize. However, I want to see the situation of the Xuantian Holy Land disciples first before making a decision," Zhang Cheng said with a fake smile.
"Follow me. You can come alone; the rest of you stay here. City Lord Yuan will entertain them."
Luo Liuxi floated towards the Demon Suppression Division, and Zhang Cheng followed unhurriedly.
Chen Changsheng also moved, walking side by side with Zhang Cheng, as if they were old friends of many years.
"Is this fellow Daoist the rumored Director of the Demon Suppression Division? You are indeed a talented person. I heard that you used to live in Miaoxian City?"
Zhang Cheng's sudden words surprised Chen Changsheng even more, making him unable to figure out what the other party wanted to do.
When transmitting messages from afar, the Xuantian Holy Land was as aggressive as if preparing for war.
In the end, they only sent a direct disciple in the Transformation God stage, along with thirty or so ordinary disciples with uneven cultivation levels.
Everyone was calm and collected, as if the ones imprisoned in the dungeon were not Xuantian Holy Land disciples, but ordinary prisoners.
On such a short journey, Zhang Cheng even had the mood to try to get close to Chen Changsheng, which seemed very strange.
"I did live in Miaoxian City for a while. Is fellow Daoist interested in the Taihang Region?" Chen Changsheng said calmly.
Zhang Cheng smiled and said, "It's not really an interest, it's just that a genius junior brother appeared in the Holy Land some time ago, but he died tragically in the Taihang Region not long after joining the Holy Land."
"After investigation, it was discovered that my genius junior brother seemed to have visited the Myriad Hands Palace before his death…"
Xuantian Holy Land, the tragic death of a genius disciple, visited the Myriad Hands Palace.
Connecting the three, Chen Changsheng couldn't think of anyone other than Lan Mian. It seemed that Zhang Cheng knew something and suspected him.
Was it a test? Or a warning?
"I wonder what the cultivation level of your junior brother is, and what his name is? Perhaps I've met him," Chen Changsheng said with a normal expression.
"My junior brother's cultivation was not good, just a small Qi Refining stage, but his talent was unparalleled…"
Before Zhang Cheng could finish speaking, Chen Changsheng interrupted, "Qi Refining stage running from the Nine Dragons Region to the Taihang Region? That's probably not convincing, right?"
With the cultivation of the Great Perfection of the Qi Refining stage, it would take at least twenty to thirty years to go from the Nine Dragons Region to the Taihang Region.
"Hahahaha! That's indeed the case. Actually, I sent my junior brother to the Taihang Region back then. He inexplicably said he wanted to go to the Taihang Region to find a Daoist partner, and as his senior brother, of course I had to do my best to help."
Zhang Cheng chuckled, "His name is Lan Mian. I wonder if fellow Daoist has any impression?"
While the two were chatting, they had already entered the Demon Suppression Division, following the passage all the way deep into the dungeon of the Demon Suppression Division.
Chen Changsheng raised his eyebrows, surprised, "You know what, I did encounter a Qi Refining stage cultivator named Lan Mian, but this person practiced a body of evil arts. I guess it's just a coincidence, right?"
"Evil arts? That shouldn't be. My junior brother's talent is unparalleled, and he disdains to come into contact with demons and evil ways."
Zhang Cheng shook his head, his face full of confusion.
Chen Changsheng had been observing the person's expression and aura, and secretly activated the Heavenly Eye Divine Power several times, but did not detect any signs of the other party practicing evil arts.
"Your people are inside, go take a look."
"We only caught two people in total, so naturally there are only two people," Luo Liuxi said with a charming smile, pure white spiritual light swirling around her, isolating all the approaching killing intent.
"Good, good, good! What a Taiping City! You killed more than ten disciples of my Xuantian Holy Land, and now you still have the face to talk and laugh with me. Is this the true face of Taiping City? You really don't take my Xuantian Holy Land seriously…"
Boom!
Zhang Cheng was like an erupting dark snake, and the pressure of the Transformation God stage suddenly pressed down, the enormous pressure enough to instantly crush the Golden Core stage into minced meat!
Luo Liuxi lightly raised her hand, and the flowing light Dao technique formed a shield, helping Chen Changsheng block the wave of true energy.
The two Transformation God stage fluctuations competed against each other, and in a trance, a game of Dao technique domains had been completed.
The strength of the two was evenly matched!
Zhang Cheng was secretly shocked that Luo Liuxi, who had just entered the Transformation God stage, had such cultivation.
Chen Changsheng snorted coldly and casually threw out a formation flag, and the formation patterns in the dungeon lit up with dazzling light.
The trapped killing formation was activated!
The Demon Suppression Division disciples in the dungeon quickly rushed from various passages, standing at the formation points and holding formation flags, ready to launch an attack at any time.
Zhang Cheng's eyes narrowed, and he said coldly, "My Xuantian Holy Land endures humiliation and bears the burden, and negotiates with your Taiping City to redeem people, but Taiping City wants to wipe us all out. How is this different from demons and evil cultivators?"
"Moral kidnapping is useless. You attacked first. Double the apology gifts and an apology, and you can still leave," Chen Changsheng said expressionlessly, "Don't mistake our concessions for fear, otherwise you will be like them, becoming people to be redeemed."
"Fine, your Taiping City is really powerful. The humiliation of today, my Xuantian Holy Land will definitely repay a hundredfold in the future."
Zhang Cheng snorted coldly, retracted his true energy Dao technique, and returned to his previous peaceful state.
Zhao Li woke up slowly, and when he saw Zhang Cheng's face, he directly lowered his head in shame, "Senior brother, I'm sorry…"
"It's okay, you are the youngest generation of direct disciples, and you still have a great future. Today's lesson is just an experience for you. Come back with me."
Zhang Cheng showed a smile again, and with a casual finger, he woke up the unconscious Shangguan Yi.
Watching the departing figures of the three people.
Chen Changsheng and Luo Liuxi stood side by side, their eyes flashing with light golden light at the same time.
"This Zhang Cheng has been acting all along. Is he acting for us, or is he acting for Zhao Li?" Chen Changsheng frowned slightly.
Luo Liuxi replied softly, "He is acting for Zhao Li, and he is also acting for us. He is acting in a way that is elusive, so as to cover up his habits."
"There is something strange about this person. Lan Mian's evil arts are inseparable from this person. I even suspect that Zhang Cheng is just a fake name, and his real identity may be someone from the Sacred Sect of Wages!"
