Unlike the Wuxiang Sect and other Northern Territory forces that came to Eastern Azure City, the name of the Red Cloud Sect is much more illustrious.

As soon as the Red Cloud Sect's flying boat arrived, many curious onlookers stopped to watch.

Not only that, even the East Cang City Lord's Mansion specially sent people to welcome them.

After all, the Red Cloud Sect is one of the three giants of the Northern Territory, and with the Cyan Thunder Sect's semi-seclusion, it may even be considered one of the two giants of the Northern Territory.

When the Red Cloud Sect party was escorted into the City Lord's Mansion, upon hearing that the Red Cloud Fairy did not come along, East Cang City's City Lord Zhang Ling felt somewhat regretful.

Like Qingxuanzi, Zhang Ling also has a bit of admiration for the Red Cloud Fairy who is famous throughout the Northern Territory.

"It's a pity your master didn't come; I've heard that not only will a Source-Breaking Pill, which drives countless Innate cultivators mad, appear at this grand gathering, but also middle grade and even upper grade Grandmaster Pills."

A Grandmaster Realm pill, if effective, can save years of arduous cultivation!

Upon hearing this, Su Wan said, "Before my teacher left the sect, they didn't specifically mention whether they would attend the gathering, perhaps they might arrive once it starts, it's uncertain."

Zhang Ling chuckled and said, "Though I am not in the Northern Territory, your Northern Territory has been quite lively recently, several events have reached the Eastern Territory."

"I've heard that recently in your Northern Territory a powerful martial arts grandmaster appeared, with the most impressive record of fighting two at once outside a small city, killing a Grandmaster Fifth Layer and a Grandmaster Second Layer?"

Su Wan nodded, somewhat helplessly, "This is indeed the case, that mysterious grandmaster is currently the most discussed martial artist in our Northern Territory, countless people are immensely curious about them."

"My master is busy these days precisely because of this mysterious grandmaster."

The Red Cloud Fairy's pursuit of the mysterious grandmaster is no secret in the Northern Territory.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Ling was about to say something when suddenly a subordinate came to report from outside.

"City Lord, people from the Western Territory's Purple Origin Sect have arrived."

Immediately, Zhang Ling first glanced at Su Wan sitting on a chair.

Su Wan's expression indeed changed slightly.

The Western Territory's Purple Origin Sect... has always had a grudge with their Northern Territory's Red Cloud Sect.

Now that her master hasn't come, upon hearing that people from the Purple Origin Sect have arrived, Su Wan felt somewhat nervous.

But leaving now is inappropriate, to not even dare to meet the other side would undoubtedly weaken the prestige of her own sect.

"Please invite the members of the Purple Origin Sect to come in," Zhang Ling said in a deep voice.

A moment later, another group of people walked in from outside the City Lord's Mansion.

In an instant, the leading middle-aged man's gaze swept over City Lord Zhang Ling, and after greeting with a smile, it locked onto Su Wan, who was clad in Red Cloud Sect attire.

"Greetings, City Lord Zhang... didn't expect City Lord Zhang to have guests here."

The middle-aged man said with a mock smile, "Turns out it's the Northern Great Sect, friends from the Red Cloud Sect."

Su Wan did not speak, the Red Cloud Sect Great Elder beside her snorted coldly, "I wondered who it was, so it's friends from the Western Territory's Purple Origin Sect. It's been a long time, Elder Liu, how come you're still at Innate Ninth Layer, is the Grandmaster Realm that hard to breakthrough?"

"Elder Liu, please come in." Zhang Ling seemingly didn't hear the gunpowder-filled conversation between them, inviting the Purple Origin Sect's group in with a smile.

Elder Liu, who is also the Great Elder of the Purple Origin Sect, responded coldly, "If Liu were to breakthrough, I suppose some yapping people would not dare to speak up now!"

Zhang Ling was somewhat helpless, slightly shook his head, and said, "Is Elder Liu leading the team for this grand gathering?"

Elder Liu glanced at the Red Cloud Sect Great Elder and sneered, "Our Sect Leader is in seclusion and will soon emerge! Once they emerge, they will come to East Cang."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Ling was slightly moved; the Purple Origin Sect's Sect Leader Zi Wuji has been at Grandmaster Seventh Layer for many years.

From Elder Liu's tone, could it be that there's a chance to breakthrough to Grandmaster Eighth Layer this time?!

If that's the case, they might once again suppress the Northern Territory's Red Cloud Sect, after all, the Red Cloud Fairy's realm is Grandmaster Seventh Layer.

The Red Cloud Sect Great Elder's old face also changed slightly; someone as experienced and shrewd as Elder Liu Lei being so arrogant at this time surely has something to rely on.

...

Meanwhile, in the Black Tide Forbidden Land.

Deep within the Black Tide Forbidden Land, a tall figure in black clothing is battling a terrifying Violent Ape King, towering ancient trees are falling, the ground cracking, terrifying deep pits resembling bomb blasts everywhere!

At this time, the man in black also had blood seeping out, staining the black clothes, turning it dark.

But even so, the black-clad figure showed no signs of retreat, wielding a long sword, a scarlet river appears above his head, as if it wanted to overturn everything!

"You're truly a madman!"

Upon witnessing this, the terrifying Violent Ape King spoke human words; it is a fierce beast of the Grandmaster Realm, possessing not weak intelligence aside from instinct.

Watching the red river manifesting, feeling the terrifying turbulence, the Violent Ape King covered in numerous scars also felt fear.

"I'll let you have it! Madwoman!"

The Violent Ape King roared unwillingly, glanced at the soon-to-mature pair of Dual Divine Fruits, and fled swiftly.

In this Black Tide Forbidden Land, there are numerous opportunities; there's no need to sacrifice its life here.

If injured, even severely injured... even if it's the Violent Ape King, it would still face threats from similarly formidable beings.

After all, it itself is also a highly nourishing "Treasure Medicine"!

Watching the Violent Ape King retreat, the black-clad figure remains motionless.

A few seconds later, a mouthful of fresh blood is spewed out, staining the face cloth red.

The entire momentum weakened significantly.

However, gazing at the two almost mature Dual Divine Fruits, a hint of joy flashed in the eyes of the black-clad figure.

"The Dual Divine Fruits which bear fruit once every fifty years!"

Though not as good as the Three Divine Fruits that flourish and bear fruit every hundred years, consuming one for a cultivator of the Grandmaster Realm is stronger than ten upper grade Grandmaster Pills!

While healing, the black-clad figure vigilantly monitored the surroundings.

Within half a day, these two Spirit Fruits will fully mature!

Fortunately, this place was originally occupied by the Violent Ape King, the entire vast territory filled with its aura, even Innate Realm fierce beasts, and low-tier Grandmaster Realm fierce beasts dare not easily approach.

Finally, several hours passed; watching the fully matured Dual Divine Fruits displaying mysterious colors, the black-clad figure immediately stepped forward to harvest them.

The branches beneath instantly withered.

At this moment, the Communication Jade Token came with movements; the black-clad figure took a look, eyes narrowed slightly.

"Purple Origin Sect…"

Rapidly leaving this place, the black-clad figure found a secluded cave, took out one Dual Divine Fruit, and directly consumed it.

The other was carefully stored into a Storage Ring, placed in a Jade Box.

The black-clad figure plans to save this one as a bargaining chip to attract the Northern Territory's mysterious grandmaster to join her Red Cloud Sect.
