Chapter 697: Chapter 533: Mutual Redemption, Return to Ban Shan Sect (Daily Life)

Western Hong, Teng Yun Market.

This place was originally a small market for Loose Cultivators to exchange goods.

But recently, the crowd coming and going has suddenly become much denser, with many direct descendants from major forces among them.

The turmoil that erupted a few days ago clearly put many nearby forces on high alert.

That familiar roar of a tiger most likely came from one of the three Harmonization Demons of the Frost Tiger Clan; it’s just unknown which giant is clashing with it and what the cause of the dispute is.

If two cultivators at the Unity Realm Stage do act, it signifies that Western Hong’s situation could very likely undergo a drastic change.

Those who could flee have fled, but for those who cannot leave due to various reasons, huddling together like this is the only option.

In a room of an inn.

The door is tightly shut.

A cold woman in white sits next to the table, her gaze quietly fixed on the teacup on the table.

Behind her, two young cultivators of extraordinary bearing stand side by side. Both their strength and attire reveal their identities as direct descendants of a major sect.

"Sect Master Ji, according to the information we’ve gathered, those two Unity Realm powerhouses seem to have only clashed briefly and haven’t caused any disturbance to Western Hong, so it should not affect our request for reinforcement," one of them said.

The Ling Yue Sect Daozi appeared steadier.

The Unparalleled Sect Daozi had a pained expression as he sighed, "But it’s a fact that we were tactfully rejected by the forces in Western Hong. I really don’t understand— we are all cultivators. There’s a great enemy like the Dragon Palace right in front of us, but instead of joining forces to resist them, everyone is attacking each other incessantly. No wonder the Western Dragon Palace finds it so easy, even having the leisure to meddle in the business of Southern Hong."

"Honestly... if we keep asking for help like this, I’m worried they’ll realize just how dire South Hong’s situation is, and instead of helping us against the Dragon Palace, they might even consider stepping into South Hong to share a piece of the pie," he continued.

The concerns of the Unparalleled Sect Daozi were not without merit.

After all, the reason they were here was because the Sect they had gone to for help had set their sights on a new force with a great chance of forming a pact with heaven and earth.

The Qi family had spent countless years of effort and finally had the chance to rise above the common throng, achieving a status among sects with Unity Realm powerhouses at their disposal; now it looked likely that this chance would slip through their fingers.

Becoming a sub-sect of that Sect might already be the best outcome for them.

The cultivators of those Immortal Sects showed off the strong preying upon the weak to an extreme degree.

The two Daozi, unable to stand by and also distrusting that Sect, thus turned to other forces. However, as soon as they started to show their intentions, they were politely rejected and sent away from the land of bounty.

"The situation at Yunhe Sect is rather good, but as Sister Lin said, it’s not that Yunhe Sect itself has any objection to the Dragon Palace; it’s just that the Daozi there has taken quite a fancy to Sister Lin..."

On mentioning this, the Unparalleled Sect Daozi felt somewhat embarrassed.

The renowned Seven Sons of South Hong had now fallen to the point where they had to seek help in such a way.

In truth, the situation wasn’t too bad at the moment.

All six Sect Masters were powerful Unity Realm giants in their own right, and together with the three major forces like the Treasure Flower Sect, they made up nine Unity Realm powerhouses, who in Western Hong could match the colossal might of the Western Dragon Palace.

In contrast, the Southern Dragon Palace had a total of four Unity Realm Dragon Sons and one Dragon King. Even if that South Dragon King was profoundly cultivated and could take on two at a time, at best, this was only akin to the South Hong Seven Sons.

If a fight really broke out, they wouldn’t have the slightest chance of winning.

The problem lay with the Western Palace.

With the eldest of the Qi family leading troops into Southern Hong, it wouldn’t affect the overall situation too much; the fear is that this was merely a probe. If the Seven Sons response wasn’t strong enough, the Western Palace alone boasted at least eight Great Demons comparable to those of the Unity Realm!

Over these hundred thousand years, the Western Dragon Palace has grown fat and powerful, a far cry from what it once was.

Plus, with its revered status in Western Hong — a call to arms easily heeded — if it really set its sights on dealing with the Seven Sons of South Hong, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Understood," said Sect Master Ji as she slowly stood up and walked towards the door. "You two continue; I’ll go have a chat with Zi Xian."

At this, the two Daozi fell silent.

Having been in Western Hong for several days, they had come to some understanding of the place. Although Zi Xian might have once been on good terms with Sect Master Ji, now... she was the famous Dragon Consort of Mount Yu.

The man she married was none other than the leader of the Qi family who led troops into Southern Hong.

"It’s just catching up on old times," Sect Master Ji shook her head, truly wanting to know the Western Dragon Palace’s stance.

If it came down to a fight to the death, the South Hong Seven Sons were not to be trifrighened.

Battles between figures at the Unity Realm, were not simply compared by numbers; take for example the group of Dragon Sons from the Southern Dragon Palace... their so-called comparison to the Unity Realm was not aligned with the level of the Sect Masters of the Seven Sons.

In front of these newly advanced Unity Realm cultivators or demons, the six of them were also considered veterans.

Ji Jingxi pushed the door open and leaned against the railing to look outside.

She was about to cast a spell to leave the place.

Just then, her gaze sharpened, landing on the figure of a young man, accompanied by attendants, walking outside below.

Even though the young man had changed his appearance and his eyes were cold, Ji Jingxi recognized him at a glance.

In the face of a vast gap in realms, even a perfected Illusory Form Technique had little effect.

"Why is he here?"

Ji Jingxi looked at the few people next to Shen Yi, and although there were still three, they clearly were not Su Hongxiu’s group of Daozi.
