Upon hearing these words, a sudden flicker of icy killing intent flashed across Jiang Jingxing's eyes holding the purple giant sword, but it soon vanished.

In reality, with he and Wan Ming's power combined, there was an opportunity to severely wound Master Xuan Gu, and perhaps even kill him.

However, the two were wary of the Six Demon Countries Alliance behind him, and did not dare to attack directly.

Yet if they continued to stalemate like this, the situation would undoubtedly be extremely unfavorable for them both.

Once Master Xuanfeng recovered and wielded the Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure, the Yin Yang Qi Cauldron, even if they joined forces, they would only be able to maintain a stalemate at most.

After all, Master Xuanfeng's cultivation was much deeper than theirs.

Even with Master Xuanfeng's current state of Mana depletion, unable to unleash the full power of the Spirit Treasure,

it was still completely adequate to deal with Jiang Jingxing and Wan Ming.

At that moment, the roles might completely reverse!

"Friend Wan, we can't continue this stalemate any longer," Jiang Jingxing transmitted via Divine Sense.

"I am well aware of that."

Wan Ming replied through Divine Sense transmission, "So over the past few months, I've been probing this Profound Bone old ghost's techniques, and now I've got him mostly figured out."

"Next, pay heed to cooperate with my actions, I have confidence to severely wound him, but not kill."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Jingxing's eyes brightened at once, accepting without hesitation.

No wonder over the past few months, Wan Ming kept dragging him to battle Master Xuan Gu every now and then.

He originally thought it was purely for venting anger, but there was this underlying reason.

Wan Ming and Jiang Jingxing exchanged glances and then forcefully attacked Master Xuan Gu.

Under the fierce assault from both, Master Xuan Gu gradually began to fall into a disadvantage.

At this moment, Hongyi, who had been feigning to be in combat on the battlefield but was actually observing the situation, was invigorated upon seeing this scene.

He quickly transmitted over, "Nine Nether Elder, is this the opportunity you spoke of?"

A moment later, the chilling voice of Nine Nether Elder echoed hauntingly in Hongyi's Sea of Consciousness, "Today is the day to deal with this Profound Bone brat!"

...

...

Two months later.

Xu Ping, weary from travel, finally arrived at Yue Country's foremost grand city, Luoyun Immortal City!

He planned to set up a Third-rank Middle Grade Array on Thousand Leaves Mountain, requiring exceedingly rare materials that could not be collected in ordinary places.

So, he came to Luoyun Immortal City!

Before entering the city gates, a majestic grand building stood before him, which was the gate of Luoyun Immortal City.

The city gate soared dozens of zhang high, forged from an entire block of profound iron great stone.

The two heavy gates were open, like the gaping maw of a giant beast, welcoming guests from all directions.

"This Luoyun Immortal City is indeed grander than Qiu Xuan Immortal City!" Xu Ping mused to himself, while striding into the city gates slowly.

However, upon stepping inside, he was shocked to find the many cultivators within the Immortal City exhibiting diverse expressions, fervently discussing something.

"What has happened?"

Xu Ping displayed a puzzled look, contemplating that it must not be a trivial matter to stir up such widespread discussion among the city's cultivators.

So, he casually summoned a young cultivator at the second level of Qi Cultivation and immediately asked: "What major event has occurred to cause such widespread discussion within the Immortal City?"

"In response, senior!"

The young guide bowed respectfully to Xu Ping and answered, "The situation of the Three Countries' war has now taken a drastic turn, affecting the entire Yue Country, hence all cultivators in Luoyun Immortal City, regardless of cultivation level, are discussing this matter fervently."

"Drastic change in the situation of the Three Countries' war?"

Upon hearing this news, Xu Ping's brows immediately furrowed tightly, with a sense of inexplicable anxiety surging within him.

Before he could inquire further, the guide of Qi Cultivation continued:

"Originally, with the involvement of Profound Bone Elder, the war situation among the three countries was locked in a deadlock."

"But just two months ago, during the fierce battle between True Monarch Jiang, True Monarch Wan Ming and Master Xuan Gu, a Nascent Soul Cultivator hidden within the Profound Nether Sect suddenly attacked Master Xuan Gu."

"This hidden Nascent Soul Cultivator concealed himself so deeply that Sect Leader Jiang and True Monarch Wan Ming did not notice, thus they had no chance to hold back, instantly killing Master Xuan Gu, even his Nascent Soul couldn't escape!"

"What!"

Hearing this earth-shattering news, Xu Ping's face changed drastically.

This was a matter of great consequence!

It's foreseeable that given the Six Demon Countries Alliance's nature of revenge, they wouldn't let it go easily.

Facing such a formidable enemy, even if Hu and Yue countries joined forces, they definitely wouldn't be able to contend.

With the ruthless nature of the Six Demon Countries Alliance, it wouldn't be impossible to wipe out these two countries.

At that moment, Xu Ping couldn't help but feel an overwhelming urge to immediately flee Yue Country at all costs.

The young guide saw the abrupt change in Xu Ping's countenance and naturally could guess some of his thoughts.

This was quite normal, not to mention Foundation Establishment Cultivators, even Golden Core Cultivators, upon learning this news, might flee Yue Country.

"Senior, there's no need for excessive worry."

The young guide paused for a moment, then comforted, "Regarding the accidental killing of Master Xuan Gu, True Monarch Jiang and True Monarch Wan Ming have already devised comprehensive countermeasures."

"Otherwise, Luoyun Immortal City would have plunged into chaos long ago, how could everyone still be so calmly discussing here now?"
