The crisis in Shengfeng City was effortlessly resolved with Tangyu and Sun Wukong's intervention, bringing immense relief and celebration to the entire city. The warriors also celebrated this grand victory, venting all the pent-up emotions that had been accumulating in their hearts.

For months, all of Shengfeng City's residents had been besieged and terrified by the army of the Yao Race. This torment was incredibly unbearable.

The resounding victory in this battle finally allowed people to hold their heads high.

Tangyu and Sun Wukong did not linger long; after resolving the crisis, Tangyu announced his departure.

Holy Sun said, "Tangyu, thank you so much for this time. Be careful out there."

Tangyu smiled and said, "There's no need for such words between brothers. If it weren't for your rescue back then, I might have been long gone. And the generosity of the Shengfeng City Lord has greatly benefited me. Today was just a minor matter. You all should also be on guard. We'll handle the Yao Race. In the short term, they should withdraw a bit, but with the impending calamity, I might not be able to look after you all, so if possible, I would suggest you evacuate to Yanshan City."

"Although Yanshan City is already overcrowded now, my Master has arranged for people to quickly open underground shelters to accommodate more individuals. Shengfeng City's population is only in the tens of thousands; I believe Yanshan City can still accommodate you all. If you add your strength from Shengfeng City, Yanshan City will become even more fortified. Of course, the decision is entirely yours. If you choose to go to Yanshan City, now is a great time; the Yao Race's army in the area has been pushed back by us, and this side has also retreated, making it an opportune moment."

Upon hearing Tangyu's words, the Shengfeng City Lord frowned thoughtfully.

It's not that he is unwilling to leave; he knows Shengfeng City is too isolated and fragile here. Not to mention the Yao Race army, during the calamity, Shengfeng City would be utterly defenseless, unable to withstand any onslaught. Truthfully, evacuating to Yanshan City to settle there would be a good thing.

After all, now, besides the Jiuzhou Immortal Sect, Yanshan City is the safest place in the Jiuzhou Immortal Sect area.

Moreover, if the calamity erupts, even the Jiuzhou Immortal Sect might not be safe. Top-tier Immortal Sects would definitely be the first targets during the calamity. Everyone wants to go to Yanshan City, much safer than Xia Country.

The noblewoman, Holy Sun, and other trusted aides were eagerly looking at the Shengfeng City Lord, naturally hoping he would agree.

The Shengfeng City Lord hesitated for a moment before nodding, "Alright, then we'll go to Yanshan City. I can only give up Shengfeng City; as long as its residents can follow me, I can protect them, and that's enough. Going to Yanshan City is indeed the best choice. Tangyu, I will have to rely on you for this matter."

Tangyu also smiled and said, "You don't have to be so polite, Shengfeng City Lord. Having your experts join Yanshan City will also make our city stronger. It is a good thing."

Holy Sun smiled, for having a brother like Tangyu is indeed fulfilling in this life.

Tangyu's gaze suddenly fell upon the noblewoman, saying, "Aunt, you are at the Golden Core Realm Ninth Layer, right? You've stayed there for quite some time but have never been able to open the Zifu and step into the Zifu Realm. This barrier is like a heavenly chasm."

The noblewoman nodded and sighed, "Yes, I reached the Golden Core Realm Ninth Layer ten years ago, but have stagnated thereafter. The Golden Core Realm is probably my limit. This heavenly chasm is insurmountable for me. Failing to achieve the Zifu is my destiny and nothing worth forcing."

The noblewoman sees this point quite philosophically.

But she has a loving husband and a talented son; she certainly has nothing else to pursue.

The noblewoman was a noble Princess from Xia Country, and in her youth, she was exceptionally talented and stunningly beautiful. It's not a surprise that the Shengfeng City Lord would fancy her; after all, the Shengfeng City Lord was extraordinarily talented and remarkably outstanding back in the day. Had he not fallen in love early and lost interest in adventure, his achievements might have been even greater. Otherwise, he wouldn't still be at the Zifu Realm Third Layer now.

But considering the Shengfeng City Lord's age, reaching such a high Realm is indeed impressive.

The Shengfeng City Lord was widely renowned in his youth.

Tangyu said, "Aunt, with your talent, I actually believe you can break through this heavenly chasm and reach the Zifu Realm. However, your heart is deeply rooted in the mundane world, too focused on family matters; unable to sever those ties, you cannot fully devote yourself to cultivating Taoism. This has led you to develop some mental blocks thus far."

The noblewoman chuckled softly, "Perhaps, but it doesn't matter. Being able to live happily together as a family is enough for me; that's my greatest happiness. I never pursue the nonexistent Immortal; having reached this Realm and living for a few hundred years is sufficient."

Tangyu smiled, his heart filled with increasing admiration for Holy Sun's mother. To hold love in such high regard, to be able to dedicate so much, to act with such freedom, is truly rare to find.

Tangyu's hand moved suddenly, tossing a Qiankun Bag to the noblewoman, and with a smile, he said: "Holy Sun and I are brothers, and this is the first time I've met you, my aunt. Last time I was grateful to receive a secret technique from the Shengfeng City Lord, so I am giving this small gift to my aunt. You should prepare to head to Yanshan City quickly, we will leave first, until we meet again." With that, he and Sun Wukong rapidly departed.

Tangyu left just like that. By the time everyone reacted, Tangyu had already left, disappearing out of sight.

The noblewoman was slightly taken aback, wondering how she could accept something from a younger generation like Tangyu. But before she could speak, Tangyu was already gone, so she turned to look at Holy Sun.

Holy Sun laughed heartily and said: "Forget it, mother. Since brother Tangyu has given it to you, you should accept it. No need to be overly polite with him. He and I are brothers through life and death."

The noblewoman shook her head and chuckled; all she could do was accept it. But upon opening the Qiankun Bag, she was taken aback. Seeing the noblewoman's expression, both Shengfeng and Holy Sun also looked over with curiosity. When they saw a Purple Sun Pill inside the Qiankun Bag, they too were taken aback, truly shocked.

A Purple Sun Pill, it is indeed a Purple Sun Pill.

"This—" Shengfeng was momentarily speechless: "A Purple Sun Pill, Tangyu really is generous. One can't help but admire him. A single Purple Sun Pill is enough to create a Zifu Realm. Such a precious treasure, he actually gave it away so casually. This friendship is indeed profoundly deep." While saying this, Shengfeng also looked at Holy Sun and said: "Holy Sun, you are truly fortunate to have such a brother. I granted him a secret technique before simply because I felt a connection, yet I never expected such a karmic result, which is also my fortune."

"Madam, since this is a gift from Tangyu, you should accept it. In such critical times, consuming this Purple Sun Pill can help you breakthrough to the Zifu Realm. In doing so, we will also have an additional means of self-preservation."

The noblewoman nodded: "Hmm, we owe Tangyu yet another great favor. We will repay him in the future when there's a chance."

------

After leaving Shengfeng City, Tangyu and Sun Wukong directly set upon the Yao Race main forces within Xia Country's borders, launching a direct assault on the Yao Race army's headquarters, initiating a massive slaughter.

Although they had received news beforehand, no one expected Tangyu and Sun Wukong to attack so swiftly. As a result, they were caught off guard, and their forces collapsed into disarray. Several Zifu Great Demons were all slain, with none able to escape. Sun Wukong also crushed many formidable Golden Core Realm beings with the Jingu Bang.

The Yao Race armies in the Yanshan region and within Xia Country were almost completely swept away by Tangyu and Sun Wukong, temporarily liberating these two territories.

After dealing with these forces, Tangyu and Sun Wukong continued their domineering sweep. In the Jiuzhou Immortal Sect territories bordering the Dark Nether Wilderness, there were a dozen or so second-rate Immortal Sect powers. Tangyu and Sun Wukong slaughtered through these, causing the Yao Race forces to collapse with countless casualties. The Yao Race armies ceased their advance, not daring to venture further, instead joining forces to combat Tangyu and Sun Wukong. The fame of these two rapidly spread.

However, their alliance was still to no avail.

Tangyu and Sun Wukong were far too powerful, unstoppable in their path, defeating gods and exterminating Buddhas. Even when two or three Yao Race armies joined forces, they could not deal with Tangyu and Sun Wukong. The two were akin to War Gods; even faced with an encirclement of ten to twenty Zifu Realm Great Demons, they forcibly tore open a massive breach, slaying all of the Zifu Great Demons.

Tangyu was currently at Zifu Realm First Layer, but his true strength enabled him to slay a Zifu Realm Seventh Layer expert, and he even had the power to contend with Zifu Realm Eighth Layer.

As for Sun Wukong, his combat strength was not much inferior to Tangyu's. Particularly, the battles along the way greatly spurred Sun Wukong, allowing him to grow rapidly in combat. Being a Heaven and Earth Spiritual Artifact, Sun Wukong's realm progressed quickly, and his strength grew swiftly.

In these battles, Sun Wukong's cultivation speed became monstrous, having already broken through to the Zifu Realm Fourth Layer, his strength suddenly surpassing Tangyu.

Tangyu, over these days, also made considerable progress. His realm fully stabilized at Zifu Realm First Layer, early phase of Divine Demon Refinement Scripture Fourth Layer. His cultivation technique saw many refinements, edging close to a breakthrough, needing only a chance to achieve it.

The Pangu Nine Axes was faintly nearing a breakthrough to the Eighth Axe, and Square Inch Kill was increasingly formidable. Against sub-Zifu Realm Fourth Layer Great Powers, Square Inch Kill alone allowed Tangyu to instantly kill them. Only a few Zifu Realm Third Layer Great Powers could avoid instant death from a single strike. This unparalleled spell of Square Inch Kill was exceptionally formidable. If it could advance further, it would indeed be terrifying.

The third style of the Bright Moon Sword Art had also begun to take shape, waiting for Tangyu to seize an opportunity to create it.
