Chapter 790: Chapter 568: After Dealing with You, Back to Southern Hong

One by one, the Black-backed Jiaos ascended Mount Yu, bringing a letter after letter on Jade Slips, which piled up on the table like a small mountain.

In the vast Western Hong, even though the Dragon King slumbered, it still had a full seven Dragon Princes seated in power, each of whom could be compared to those at the Unity Realm Stage, but a woman from the east had taken control of the most important channels of information.

The Dragon Consort of Mount Yu was indeed as legendary as her name implied.

Zi Xian quietly surveyed the Jade Slip in her hand, then carefully selected several slips and handed them to Ji Jingxi, "You see."

As she spoke, she invoked a breath to stimulate the Jade Slip, and a round, mirror-like scene emerged in the inner chambers.

One could only see, in a bustling market.

A young man dressed in a long shirt adorned with green feathers sauntered through, his expression relaxed. The next moment, he suddenly found himself blasted away without any sign of response.

Under the shocked gaze of many cultivators, a tall and imposing figure strode out of the crowd, covered head to toe in a dark golden robe. He walked up to the young man and, without haste, lifted his foot and methodically crushed the other’s skull.

From beginning to end, there was no dialogue between the two, not to mention any enmity or grudge.

Even before being blown away, the young man had intentionally avoided the unusually tall and strong man.

The thick scent of blood began to permeate the market.

The large man slightly bent down, extending a scaly and rough hand-claw from the wide sleeve of his robe, grabbed the young man by the collar, hoisted the corpse, and left the market without uttering a word.

Only after his figure disappeared from sight did the marketplace erupt with a violent shriek!

"There’s a Great Demon!"

The crowd scrambled in disarray in all directions, and the once bustling street suddenly became empty and silent.

"..."

Ji Jingxi exchanged glances with Zi Xian from the corner of her eyes.

The scenes in the other Jade Slips were not much different from this one.

Outside the treasure land of an Immortal Sect, clouds and mist swirled around, exuding a quiet and tranquil aura.

Suddenly, sharp and mournful cries of the phoenix shattered the peace.

From out of the clear blue sky, a number of massive shadows fell, crashing onto the Sect Protection Array!

It was a group of resplendent Glazed Green Phoenixes, their strong bodies covered in wounds, nearly soaked in blood plasma, with terrifying gashes that were startling to behold, revealing the twitching of their innards.

"Cry!"

They looked up to the sky in terror, frantically flapping their wings and stirring up massive invisible Heartflames in an attempt to flee.

Boom!

A figure clothed in the same dark golden robe suddenly descended, ignoring the Heartflames, and his boots brutally crashed down on the phoenix’s chest, destroying their bones with overwhelming force, even shattering the Sect Protection Array with numerous dense cracks.

In the face of such a dramatic turn of events.

The entire Immortal Sect was rendered silent, not even the Sect Master daring to take another look.

Fortunately, this significant figure did not seem to have any intention of taking his anger out on anyone else, his targets crystal clear. After swiftly reaping the lives of several Green Phoenixes, he waved his hand, taking their enormous corpses, and disappeared in an instant, crossing the sky and vanishing.

The person in the last Jade Slip was even more fierce.

Dressed similarly to the previous two, he struck with Spiritual Techniques that had reached the stage of Perfection, clearly not a Demon but a Cultivator.

Dazzling sharp edges fell like a torrential rain, enveloping the entire area within sight, cleansing the turbid waters.

The group of Green Phoenixes trying to seek help from the Dragon Palace were pierced through by the sharp edges, their long Green Plumes shattered like dead branches and leaves, and they died almost instantaneously, tragically floating atop the dark red waters.

This brutality unfolded right under the eyes of the Western Dragon Palace.

Yet the Cultivator draped in the dark golden robe knew no fear, and even before he left, he slightly lowered his gaze to glance at the Dragon Palace under the water. Had it not been for his hood obscuring his features, his contempt would have been as clear as if written on his face.

"Sigh."

Zi Xian exhaled softly, murmuring, "Great Demons, Cultivators, unclear origins, consistently ruthless and decisive, their purpose so focused, without a single superfluous movement... they are not an opponent to be taken lightly."

Even with her Boundary, she would still reveal the fluctuations in her heart during confrontation.

This group, however, was neither angry nor annoyed, neither happy nor sad. They gave the impression of being heartless stones or mere weapons in the hands of others; aside from slaughter, they seemingly had no thoughts of their own.

What kind of beings could gather such a formidable group together and train them to be like this?

Keep in mind, Ji Jingxi had encountered a Cultivator at the Heaven Realm Stage who wasn’t even part of this group. Who knows how many aces the Ten Thousand Demon Hall is hiding. If what is being revealed now is just the tip of the iceberg... that’s a bit frightening.

Thinking this, even Zi Xian started to feel the situation was tricky.

They had thought they were catching shrimps in murky waters, making a big fuss over nothing and not worth panicking over, yet unexpectedly, they were facing a fierce dragon crossing the river.

Moreover, this band of felons seemed to have quickly figured out the ins and outs of Hongze, finally abandoning their cautious and covert behavior. They started to show their true colors, baring their ferocious fangs at this water realm!

"What I’m more curious about is, what exactly do they want to do?"

Ji Jingxi diverted her gaze, lowering her head in contemplation, "They first tried to save the leader of the Green Phoenix clan, but then turned around to slaughter its kin so brutally. Surely it can’t be simply because they failed to save him, so they’re just venting their anger?"

"If they can’t subjugate something, they won’t allow anyone else to touch it?"

"..."

Hearing Ji Jingxi’s resigned half-joke, Zi Xian paused for a moment, then laughed, "Let’s hope it’s not that simple. The current state of Hongze cannot withstand such a reckless and unreasonable force causing trouble."
