Swoosh!

Zhang Qian hadn't even reached the foot of the Southern Maniac Mountain when a figure suddenly appeared in front of him, grabbed him by the collar, and urgently asked, "Where is it?!"

"In Changyun Prefecture!"

Without even seeing who was in front of him, Zhang Qian replied directly.

Swoosh!

The figure flashed, and the person before him had already flown into the sky, rapidly heading towards Mingyuan City.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh!

Several more figures appeared, Li Yukun and Sang Zhenye immediately pursued Hu Yiqiu, while Jian Cangqiong, Li Qingzhu, and Dao Yeming all appeared in front of Zhang Qian.

"Greetings…"

Zhang Qian hurriedly attempted to salute.

"No need for formalities, just explain the situation clearly!"

Jian Cangqiong waved his hand.

"We've arrived…"

Zhang Qian also knew this was no time to waste time, so he quickly explained the situation.

"Ye Ming, you stay and search for Bu Fuqi, Qingzhu, let's go!"

Jian Cangqiong instructed in a deep voice, swiftly dashing towards Mingyuan City. Li Qingzhu, with a sullen face, followed him. Dao Yeming took to the air, flying towards the elders' residence area.

Mingyuan City.

"Shut down the teleportation array for inspection!"

An authoritative shout resounded in the teleportation array area, and a stooped old man appeared beside the teleportation array.

A group of cultivators guarding the teleportation array were taken aback. An armored man approached the old man and asked in confusion, "Steward Li, wasn't the teleportation array just inspected less than ten years ago?"

"No nonsense, Domain Lord's orders, inspect the teleportation array!"

Steward Li spoke in a low tone.

"Yes!"

The armored man responded respectfully, turning to a few cultivators near the teleportation array and saying, "Shut down the teleportation..."

"Wait a moment!"

A loud shout cut through as a figure rushed towards the teleportation array.

"Shut it down!"

Steward Li's expression changed, and he shouted.

"We'll see who dares!"

Buzz!

An angry roar echoed, and a powerful Great Dao pressure enveloped the teleportation array area. A rich wine aroma emerged, and the entire sky was covered by a vast blue river of wine!

All cultivators around the teleportation array were suppressed by the powerful pressure, unable to take any action.

"Hu Yiqiu, what are you trying to do? Are you going to defy the Domain Lord's orders?"

Steward Li's face changed dramatically as he yelled angrily, a hint of panic showing in his eyes.

Swoosh!

Hu Yiqiu, holding his identity token, was about to speak when his expression suddenly froze, and a cold glint appeared in his eyes. He glared fiercely at Steward Li and rushed directly into the teleportation array.

With a flick of his hand, a supreme Spirit Stone appeared in Hu Yiqiu's hand, which he directly threw towards the teleportation array's activation point.

Buzz!

The teleportation array shook, and a grand light emerged from it.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh!

At that moment, several figures dashed into the teleportation array.

Whoosh!

The teleportation array lit up with a flash, and those who rushed in vanished without a trace.

Swoosh!

Just after Hu Yiqiu and others teleported away, a figure enveloped in radiant light appeared beside Steward Li.

"Greetings to the Domain Lord!"

"Greetings to the Domain Lord!"

Steward Li and all the others around the teleportation array immediately knelt down and respectfully saluted the newcomer.

"Still a step too late!"

A somewhat regretful voice came from within the light: "Steward Li, who all went in?"

"All four Great Elders of Changlin Academy except for Bei Nu went in, along with Principal Jian Cangqiong, and the two Supervisory Elders Sang Zhenye and Wu Xianxia!"

Steward Li replied respectfully.

"Forget it! The actions on that side should be concluded by now!"

An indifferent voice came from the radiance, with light bursting forth and then disappearing without a trace.

...

Shangluo Family Manor, northern suburb of Hui City.

"Second Elder, how is it?"

In a luxuriously decorated bedroom, Bo Liancheng asked the white-haired old man beside him.

The two stood next to a bed, on which Jiang Chen lay like a lump of mud.

"His injuries are the most severe. It seems in the fight, he shielded others from most of the impact."

Second Elder spoke softly: "His Sea of Consciousness has been pierced by the power of the Great Dao and can't be healed!"

Bo Liancheng was slightly taken aback, his brows furrowed, as he looked deeply at Jiang Chen and then asked again, "What about the others?"

"The young girl is fine, she had a protective inner armor which is now destroyed. Her injuries are the lightest, though her original Great Dao was shaken, it's not severe. The others' external injuries are manageable, but the wounds on their original Great Dao are very troublesome!"

Second Elder explained the situation of the others.

"Second Elder, I trouble you to make sure they are healed. If not healed, at least awaken them. Our plan needs their help to be completed!"

Bo Liancheng spoke in a low voice: "If we can gain their trust, especially the trust of that girl, it will make our actions much more convenient once I enter the Changling Main Court. At that time, we could find that place much quicker!"

"Alright!"

Second Elder nodded slightly: "Let's go to the girl first, try to awaken her. It would be best if you could win her over, that would be even more reliable!"

"Don't worry Second Elder, I'll certainly try my best!"

Bo Liancheng smiled faintly, an obscene smile appearing in his eyes.

The two got up and left the bedroom, closing the door behind them.

"Cheng'er, Second Brother."

A voice called out, and a dignified, commanding old man approached the two.

"Great Elder!"

"Elder Brother!"

Bo Liancheng and the Second Elder bowed with respect to the old man.

"I heard you've brought the children of some important figures from Changlin Academy and Changling Academy?"

The dignified old man glanced at the bedroom door and then turned to Bo Liancheng.

Bo Liancheng nodded slightly: "They are the granddaughter of Ouyang Song, one of the Eight Great Elders of Changling Academy, the son of Changlin Academy's principal Jian Cangqiong, and two disciples of Elder Wine-crazed."

"Oh?"

The dignified old man's expression changed, showing delight: "This is great news! Second Brother, make sure to heal them, especially Ouyang Song's daughter and Jian Cangqiong's son. Healing these two could gain us a huge favor! With this favor, our operations will be much simpler!"

"Rest assured, elder brother, I'll do my utmost!"

The Second Elder nodded firmly.

The dignified elder took one more look at the bedroom door before turning and leaving.

Phew!

Once the three dignified elders had all left, a sound of relief echoed in the bedroom.

"Thank you, you saved me once again!"

Jiang Chen expressed his gratitude from within.

When Sun Xiang's attack erupted, a subtle yet extremely powerful spatial Dao power emerged from the depths of his Sea of Consciousness, dissipating most of the aftermath of Sun Xiang's strike. Otherwise, even the mere edges of the shockwave would have left them unable to survive the full force of an Integration Realm Cultivator's attack aftermath.

Jiang Chen's consciousness had remained awake, with the tearing pain from his Sea of Consciousness not even giving him the chance to faint.

Poseidon!

Bo Liancheng's Great Elder is Poseidon!
