From the ancient flying ship emerged a myriad of figures. The cultivators were surrounded by flowing light, offering up magical artifacts that hovered, a posture of being ready for battle at any moment.
Looking at the vast and mighty disciples of the Profound Heaven Holy Land in the sky, Chen Changsheng and Luo Liuxi smiled at each other, their expressions relaxed and natural, continuing to play chess unhurriedly.
Coming with so few people, they wouldn't even be enough for Old Zhuo's slap to make a sound.
The elders of the Ancient Immortal Dao lineage were not flustered at all.
Only Yuan Rao from within Taiping City soared into the sky, her face calm as she said, "I wonder why the Profound Heaven Holy Land has come? What relationship does this Lan family have with your Holy Land?"
"Playing dumb, are you? You in Taiping City clearly knew that the Lan family was under the protection of my Profound Heaven Holy Land, yet you still sent people to exterminate their entire family. If you don't give a reasonable explanation for this matter, my Profound Heaven Holy Land will flatten this place!"
Zhao Li, holding a battle halberd, said with overwhelming killing intent, "And also the Director of your Demon Suppression Division, he seized my Wandering Dragon Battle Halberd. Why hasn't it been returned yet?"
As his words fell, several Nascent Divinity stage auras erupted from the void, suppressing Yuan Rao.
In fact, Zhao Li's words were somewhat untenable. Yuan Rao could find rebuttals to every single one of his statements.
But the advantage lay in the assistance of the Nascent Divinity stage elders in the shadows, forcibly interrupting Yuan Rao from speaking. Coupled with the magnificent aura of ten thousand cultivators floating in the air, it momentarily intimidated many cultivators in Taiping City.
"What's the situation? The people from the Profound Heaven Holy Land are here again?"
"Wait, why did you say 'again'? Has the Profound Heaven Holy Land been here before?"
"Of course they've been here. It happened in the Fourth District. It's said that the Profound Heaven Holy Land suffered a silent loss in the end, and even spent a huge sum of money to redeem someone."
The cultivators of Taiping City looked up and discussed, their faces showing no fear.
Since the establishment of Taiping City, there had never been any turmoil, giving the common people and cultivators a great sense of security.
Therefore, even knowing that the Profound Heaven Holy Land had arrived, everyone was not flustered at all.
Rumble!
An invisible true energy erupted within Taiping City, colliding with the Nascent Divinity stage aura, turning into surging waves of air. The booming sound was deafening.
Yuan Rao stood in the air, her figure not even budging.
It wasn't that her cultivation was strong, but that Taiping City was no longer the same as when it was first established. Just the Nascent Divinity stage elders of the Holy Land could not threaten Taiping City.
Seeing this, the Holy Land elders hidden in the shadows all had slight changes in their expressions, feeling the warning from a great power in Taiping City.
Frightened, they immediately sent Zhao Li a true energy transmission, telling him to act according to circumstances and not to incite conflict within Taiping City.
These words instantly weakened Zhao Li's aura by half.
Yuan Rao replied indifferently, "The Lan family launched a surprise attack on the Director of our Taiping City Demon Suppression Division, so naturally they must bear the consequences. I don't think there's anything wrong with the Ancient Immortal Dao lineage's actions. The grievances of the cultivation world have always been like this. If the Profound Heaven Holy Land intends to avenge the Lan family, then come at us."
Whoosh!
In an instant, tens of thousands of cultivators in Taiping City soared into the sky, arranged in formation, completely surrounding the people from the Profound Heaven Holy Land and others.
In the eyes of Chen Changsheng and others, Zhao Li's behavior of coming to the door and shouting was particularly foolish.
The Profound Heaven Holy Land would definitely not really fight with Taiping City. The matter of the Lan family was actually not something that could be brought to the table.
Zhao Li came here only to regain face, not because he really wanted to avenge the Lan family, so he planned to use the name of the Holy Land to intimidate Taiping City.
If it were other sects, they would definitely choose to back down, so as to avoid further intensifying the conflict between the two sides.
Unfortunately, the members of the cultivation group had all seen the world. In their eyes, the Holy Land was just a larger sect, without much glory.
So what if it's a cultivation Holy Land? If you dare to come to Taiping City and shout, we'll beat you up!
No one can make Taiping City bow its head!
Zhao Li's face was particularly ugly. He suddenly understood that the reason Senior Brother Zhang didn't come was not to give him a chance to take revenge, but because Senior Brother Zhang knew Taiping City better and knew that Taiping City was tough, so he was unwilling to stand up for the Lan family.
If today's matter was not handled well, it was very likely that the Profound Heaven Holy Land would be disgraced again.
As a direct disciple of the Holy Land, he was the cause of two disgraces. The Holy Land might remove his status as a direct disciple…
But in the end, it couldn't change the fact that Zhang Cheng possessed a demonic art.
Where did this demonic art come from? Why preserve this demonic art? The reason behind it was terrifying to think about.
"How about this, let the Director of the Demon Suppression Division return my Wandering Dragon Battle Halberd, and then let him fight me. If he wins, my Profound Heaven Holy Land will not interfere in this matter. If he loses…"
Zhao Li grinned hideously, "The Profound Heaven Holy Land won't make things difficult for you. This person's death can also be considered the end of the Lan family's grievances, how about it?"
As long as the other party agreed, he would beat Chen Changsheng to death in front of everyone!
If he didn't kill the other party, it would be difficult to relieve the hatred in his heart.
After hearing these words, Yuan Rao couldn't help but sneer, "You brought so many people to my Taiping City just to find our Demon Suppression Division Director for a one-on-one duel? I see that the Profound Heaven Holy Land can't find any successors. Anyone can be a direct disciple of the Holy Land. It's really laughable."
Zhao Li's face darkened, "The Profound Heaven Holy Land has already shown as much friendliness as possible. If Taiping City doesn't appreciate it, don't blame the Profound Heaven Holy Land for being ruthless."
"Ruthless? How are you going to be ruthless?"
Chen Changsheng suddenly floated up from the backyard of the Dao Treasure Pavilion, standing with his hands behind his back, and said, "Where is your so-called friendliness reflected? Bringing ten thousand cultivators to the door to intimidate us, is this your friendliness?"
"You're willing to come out and accept the challenge?"
The moment he saw Chen Changsheng appear, Zhao Li's eyes blazed with fire.
His Nascent Soul cultivation suddenly erupted, and the Five Elements Chaos Domain instantly covered a hundred miles!
"Accept the challenge? That's not the case, but you really can't leave. You didn't learn your lesson from being redeemed before. This time, if you don't pay a hundred times the price, the Profound Heaven Holy Land shouldn't even think about taking anyone away."
The Dragon Elephant Suppressing Heaven Halberd appeared in Chen Changsheng's hand, and the Undying True Phoenix Domain expanded, tearing a zone of true fire from the Five Elements Chaos Domain.
The two men's battle halberds collided, and countless void cracks were torn out between the clashing of metal.
Wandering dragons soared, phoenixes screeched, and the dragon and phoenix phenomena fought each other.
The sky within a hundred miles was covered in crimson, and the violent air waves impacted, spreading out bursts of scorching heat.
"I have already broken through to the Nascent Soul stage, what are you going to use to compare with me?!"
Zhao Li waved his battle halberd, slashing out a light blue wandering dragon that swept in all directions, his face twisted as he roared.
"It was fine to pretend to be a Golden Core before, but now that I have entered the Nascent Soul realm, are you still going to continue pretending?"
"You couldn't possibly be my opponent in the same realm, and you still want to kill me as a Golden Core cultivator?"
"Die!"
Rumble!!!
A hundred-foot wandering dragon roared to the sky, Zhao Li wantonly burst out his true energy and Dao techniques, dragging out countless flies from his body.
In the Five Elements Chaos Domain, hundreds and thousands of clones suddenly stepped out, attacking Chen Changsheng at the same time.
One man becomes an army, fighting in all directions!
In his impression, Chen Changsheng was just a Nascent Soul cultivator, a Nascent Soul old monster who liked to pretend to be a Golden Core.
He was defeated by Chen Changsheng in the Nascent Soul stage, not by Chen Changsheng in the same realm.
At this moment, Zhao Li was bursting with confidence, determined to end the battle quickly with his strongest posture, so as to regain the face he had lost.
Chen Changsheng was facing a Nascent Soul cultivator for the first time, and a top-notch genius at that. He didn't dare to underestimate his opponent.
He directly activated the Divine Elephant Unconscious Body, and the Phoenix True Fire was attached to the Dragon Elephant Suppressing Heaven Halberd, also meeting the opponent's sudden offensive with his strongest posture.
