"I arranged multiple personnel to continuously monitor outside the 'Immortal Mansion Pavilion,' and puppets have also been arranged at various exits of the Red Moon Immortal Tower," the man in black robes said solemnly. "But we have yet to trace any signs of Li Xia."
Tu Chi couldn't help but feel annoyed.
If Wu Yuan were staying in a common cave mansion or shop, he could easily use the influence of the Tu Clan and the Red Moon Immortal Army to secretly observe.
But the Red Moon Immortal Tower?
Even if it were the ancestor of the Tu Clan, it would be difficult to infiltrate and observe.
As a Golden Core cultivator, he was very patient.
To achieve his goal, not to mention three months, he could wait for three years.
However, the time for the banquet was getting closer.
"Have you found the traces of other Azure Dragons?" Tu Chi asked, hoping to find other Azure Dragons easily.
He didn't want to trouble with Li Xia.
It was really unaffordable.
"Within the boundaries of Fengchuan City, we haven't found them yet."
The man in black robes shook his head with a bitter smile. "We also tried to purchase in the Immortal Realm, but the prices are too high. The lowest cost, even if delivered to Fengchuan City, is eighteen thousand Source Crystals."
Eighteen thousand Source Crystals? Tu Chi widened his eyes.
He could grit his teeth and spend two or three thousand Source Crystals, but over ten thousand? Even as a highly valued Golden Core cultivator in the Tu Clan, he would feel a bit distressed. He would have to sell half of his treasures.
Suddenly.
"Hmm?" The man in black robes exclaimed in joy. "Commander, just received a message. Li Xia has just left the Red Moon Immortal Tower. Judging by the direction, it seems they are leaving the city."
"Moreover, according to their sensed aura, Li Xia's Azure Dragon spirit beast has just entered the Spiritual Body Realm!"
"Spiritual Body Realm?" Tu Chi's originally irritated expression brightened.
A Spiritual Body Realm spirit beast, at the first stage, was worth tens of times more than the ninth stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm.
Moreover, among the three Azure Dragons he found, one of them was in the Spiritual Body Realm.
If they could pair up, that would be the best.
"Immediately follow them and don't lose track," Tu Chi said solemnly. "Quickly go and invite Guest Official Fang Youlong."

Chapter 203: The Black Yang Ship
After a moment.
Swoosh! A figure in a green robe flashed across the void and landed in the courtyard. It was a middle-aged man, wearing a crown hat, appearing quite refined.
He strode into the courtyard.
"Young Master Chi, are you looking for me?" The middle-aged man in the green robe smiled.
"Haha, Brother Youlong, you finally came." Tu Chi quickly stood up, a smiling face on him. "I was worried you wouldn't come."
"Young Master Chi invited me; how could I not come?" The middle-aged man in the green robe said with a smile.
Tu Chi's smile became even more brilliant.
"Young Master Chi, how's the situation? The report just came in that Li Xia is preparing to leave?" The middle-aged man in the green robe asked.
"Yes." Tu Chi nodded. "My subordinates are using the 'Tu Clan Immortal Hall' to transmit information to me, confirming Li Xia's location."
"From the comprehensive intelligence, it seems that Li Xia happened to pass by Fengchuan City, so he stayed for a while and then left," Tu Chi said.
The Tu Clan Immortal Hall was a small divine void created by the Tu Clan. It was quite rudimentary and had a limited coverage area, only covering the range of Fengchuan City.
Once outside Fengchuan City, the connection would be lost.
Compared to the 'Red Moon Immortal Realm,' it was much inferior, but its biggest advantage was that it was free, allowing a large number of ordinary cultivators to enter.
At least, it made communication and seeking help between each other much easier.
And through the divine void, managing the vast family became much more convenient for the Tu Clan.
"Is there any background information?" The middle-aged man in the green robe asked.
"Nothing found." Tu Chi sneered. "A Golden Core realm with a ninth-grade foundation is probably just lucky to break through."
"With such a foundation, it's impossible to be a disciple of a sect."
"As for a big family?"
"Even if it is, it's probably a waste not valued in the family and not within the boundaries of my Fengchuan City." Tu Chi shook his head. "No need to worry."
The middle-aged man in the green robe nodded.
A few months ago, Tu Chi came to him once, explaining the situation and hoping he could lend a hand.
In short, it was summed up in four words—assassinate Li Xia!
Looting required extreme caution. One had to estimate the opponent's strength, deduce their means and background.
"Moreover, in such conflicts between immortals and demons, most of the time, no one comes looking for trouble." Tu Chi said. "We also don't bully the younger generation."
In a duel between cultivators of the same realm, losing meant that one's strength was insufficient.
This was a hidden rule in the Red Moon Immortal Realm.
The competition in the path of immortality, for resources, opportunities, and the pursuit of immortality against the heavens, was inherently extremely cruel.
Of course.
Although it was an unwritten rule, occasionally, some super-existences' direct disciples or favored bloodline descendants would fall, breaking this tacit understanding, leading to retaliation and erupting into a great war.
"All right, since there's no problem, I agree." The middle-aged man in the green robe said.
"With Brother Youlong's help, it will surely be a sure victory." Tu Chi smiled. "According to the agreement, all the treasures of Li Xia will belong to Brother Youlong, and I will also provide three hundred Source Crystals as a reward."
"Only that Jiao Dragon must be captured alive, and it belongs to me." Tu Chi said.
"Got it."
"During the Elder's three-thousandth birthday celebration, Young Master Chi presenting a fairy chase composed of four Azure Dragons will surely win the favor of the Elder." The middle-aged man in the green robe also praised. "In the future, with Young Master Chi's family support, entering the Purple Mansion Realm is just around the corner."
"Haha, at that time, I will definitely not forget Brother Youlong's assistance today." Tu Chi laughed heartily.
This was exactly his plan.
"No time to delay, let's go." Tu Chi said. "I will send someone to track Li Xia all the way. When he is thousands of miles away from the city, we'll take action."
"Sure."
The two Golden Core cultivators, accompanied by more than ten black-robed attendants, quickly left the courtyard, turning into flowing light and flying towards the city gate.
...
Unaware of Tu Chi's actions, Wu Yuan had no idea.
After all, from Wu Yuan's perspective, encountering Tu Chi during the city entrance and having conflicts with him was just a minor incident, a small contradiction.
It's as if two billionaires were discussing a property worth millions and eventually parting ways without joy.
There were no other grievances.
Would it escalate to an endless battle? Unlikely.
Moreover, it had been three or four months, so Wu Yuan never thought the other party would be plotting to assassinate him.
Furthermore, while inside the city, his divine consciousness was suppressed, and Tu Chi's subordinates were meticulously using puppets to track from a distance.
So, even with Wu Yuan's powerful perception, he didn't sense the tracking from the puppets.
With the Qionghai King by his side, Wu Yuan calmly walked along the city passage without obstruction and left Fengchuan City.
Being in the Golden Core realm himself and having a spirit beast at the Spiritual Body realm level, the guards of the Red Moon Immortal Army in black armor were extremely respectful.
"Let's go!"
"Qionghai." Wu Yuan and the Qionghai King left the city, only to see countless mortals along the passage in the vast and boundless wilderness and mountains.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Wu Yuan and the Qionghai King turned into two fleeting figures, swiftly heading towards the direction of the Star Sword City.
When he first arrived in the Immortal Continent, Wu Yuan was still quite ignorant, relying only on the partial information given by the realm master through the immortal talisman.
But after several months.
Although Wu Yuan seemed to be cultivating in seclusion within the Red Moon Immortal Tower, he was actually exploring the entire Red Moon Immortal Realm.
It could be said that he had a deep understanding of the entire Red Moon Immortal Continent.
Shortly after.
Wu Yuan and the Qionghai King flew for thousands of miles, and the once vast Fengchuan City now appeared much smaller in their field of view.
"Hoo!"
Wu Yuan waved his hand, and a black flying ship about 130 meters long, 40 meters wide, and 30 meters high appeared in the void.
It exuded a heavy and ancient atmosphere.
"Master, is this the Grade Four flying ship warship 'Black Yang' that you purchased?" The Qionghai King's eyes lit up. "It feels different."
"Yes." Wu Yuan smiled slightly.
After exploring the Red Moon Immortal Realm and the experience of the previous assassination attempt, Wu Yuan, after all nine main-grade flying swords completed their transformations, purchased several treasures in the Red Moon Immortal Tower.
One of them was the current Grade Four flying ship warship, costing thirty-two thousand Source Crystals!
Incredibly expensive.
You should know that even a Grade Four spiritual weapon flying sword was worth only a thousand Source Crystals. This warship was equivalent to dozens of similar-grade magical treasures.
Through the Black Yang, Wu Yuan also realized the true value of the Penglai Palace, definitely worth more than a million Source Crystals!
As long as the damaged part was repaired, it could easily fetch a sky-high price of tens of millions of Source Crystals.
However, before, Wu Yuan didn't have such a large storage magical treasure. Moreover, he needed to keep the secret of the Central Earth Transmission Array, so he didn't collect it.
And now? The transmission array was cut off, and hoping to bring Penglai Palace over became a luxury.
In fact, as a life-saving object, even if he bought a higher-level warship, Wu Yuan also considered his own strength.
"With my current strength, I can protect the Grade Four flying ship warship." Wu Yuan thought to himself. "Higher-level? It's too easy to attract coveting."
Moreover, there were no higher-level flying ship warships available in the Red Moon Immortal Tower in Fengchuan City at the moment.
Although there were warships costing fifty thousand and eighty thousand Source Crystals, they didn't undergo a qualitative change. They were just larger and not suitable for Wu Yuan.
He ventured alone and didn't have such large space requirements.
"There are still three talismans." Wu Yuan's thoughts moved slightly, sensing three talismans emitting powerful auras floating in the storage magical treasure.
These were also life-saving items Wu Yuan purchased.
Each of these three talismans was worth tens of thousands of Source Crystals, totaling over a hundred thousand Source Crystals!
You should know that these life-saving talismans were disposable.
The power could be imagined.
"This is the role of Source Crystals. If you have a huge fortune, you have to find a way to convert it into strength." Wu Yuan's understanding was very clear.
Having Source Crystals in hand? It's useless!
Strength is the true way.
In Wu Yuan's plan, upon reaching Star Sword City, he would gradually exchange the remaining Source Crystals for treasures needed for cultivation.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Wu Yuan manipulated the 'Black Yang,' swiftly drilling out alongside the Qionghai King.
"Hum~"
The black warship slightly trembled, and its speed quickly soared to around twenty li per second, rapidly departing.
This wasn't the warship's maximum speed; it was just that the faster the flying ship, the greater the energy consumption.
Therefore, an appropriate speed could save Source Crystal energy the most.
As time passed.
In less than a quarter of an hour, when the Black Yang had flown about thirty to forty thousand li away from Fengchuan City.
Upon reaching a vast lake spanning over a thousand li.
Wu Yuan suddenly opened his eyes, awakening from meditation.
"What a strong fluctuation of spiritual energy in the heavens and earth?" Wu Yuan's divine consciousness instantly spread out, sensing in all directions.
He immediately judged that there was an astonishing spiritual energy fluctuation erupting and approaching from behind.
"Master, it's a warship, and it's moving so fast." The Qionghai King even growled lowly. He was a Spiritual Body realm cultivator.
In terms of vision alone, he was much stronger than Wu Yuan!
"Warship?" A hint of doubt flashed in Wu Yuan's eyes.
"Butchery! It's the Tu Family."
The Qionghai King said in a low voice, "I saw the emblem on the warship; it belongs to the Fengchuan Tu Family."

ps: First update.
Just returned to my hometown, a lot of things during the day, can only update at night, sorry! The next chapter will be longer as usual.
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 204: No Mercy (Seeking Monthly Votes)
"Tu Family? The emblem of the warship?" Wu Yuan's face turned dark.
In the past three months, since Qionghai King's breakthrough, Wu Yuan also obtained a copy of the Red Moon Divine Virtual Jade from the Red Moon Immortal Tower, which he handed over to Qionghai King for use.
However, he currently only had the authority of the eighth rank.
But it allowed Qionghai King to open his eyes wide in the Red Moon Immortal Realm, not only exploring the Tower of Books but also leaving his footprints in many places in Double Jade City.
Therefore, Qionghai King had some understanding of the situation in Fengchuan City.
"Could it be that Tu Chi really wants to deal with me? Because of a small matter?" Wu Yuan found it unbelievable.
For several months since he came to Fengchuan City, he had been very careful, not leaving the Red Moon Immortal Tower and avoiding interactions with others.
Tu Family? There was only one interaction with Tu Chi.
But would they seek revenge for such a trivial matter? Over the years, how many cultivators had Fengchuan Tu Family offended? And yet, they were still peaceful until now?
"Or is it that I have something in my hands that makes Tu Chi willing to take a huge risk?" A thought flashed in Wu Yuan's mind.
However, Wu Yuan's reaction speed was extremely fast. The moment he sensed something was wrong, his divine sense completely took control of the 'Black Yang,' no longer sparing Source Crystals, and madly urged the flying ship.
"Boom!"
The speed of the Black Yang immediately began to skyrocket, rapidly increasing from twenty li per second to thirty, forty, sixty, ninety... In just a few seconds, the Black Yang soared to its maximum speed of one hundred and thirty li per second!
This kind of speed was challenging for many Ninth-Rank Golden Core cultivators to achieve.
"Master." Qionghai King quickly judged, "The distance between us and them is widening."
Wu Yuan nodded slightly, his expression stern.
Although he was confident in his own strength, the other party was a Purple Mansion family, a local power. How could he know the reason for seeking him out?
If he killed the other party, it might attract the Purple Mansion True Immortal.
"My current strength is only dominant among Golden Core cultivators." Wu Yuan thought to himself, "I'm not yet ready to contend with a Purple Mansion True Immortal."
The Purple Mansion realm was crushing to the Golden Core realm.
Although occasional battles between Qi Sea realm cultivators and Golden Core realm cultivators were seen, it was extremely challenging for a Golden Core cultivator to fight against a Purple Mansion True Immortal by crossing realms.
So, Wu Yuan didn't want to stir up trouble and thought it was best to escape.
On the rapidly pursuing reddish-brown warship, both the silver-haired youth Tu Chi and the middle-aged man in a blue robe, Fang Youlong, had slightly changed expressions.
"So fast."
Fang Youlong solemnly said, "Young Master Chi, are you sure you didn't make a mistake? Didn't you say that the warship of this Li Xia is an eighth-rank spiritual weapon?"
"But this speed?" Fang Youlong pointed at the projection on the control platform and the speed calculation.
"At least a fourth-rank spiritual weapon flying ship." Fang Youlong said with a deep voice, "And it's an upper-grade fourth-rank spiritual weapon, worth at least twenty thousand Source Crystals."
Hearing the figure of twenty thousand Source Crystals, the faces of several black-robed followers beside them changed.
For them, this was an astronomical number.
"It's really fast." Tu Chi stared at the black flying ship fleeing at high speed, a hint of disbelief in his eyes and some unwillingness.
Did he make a mistake?
He initially judged Li Xia as a lucky weak Golden Core realm cultivator, but the flying ship that had just appeared was extraordinary.
"Boom!"
The warship manipulated by Tu Chi also increased its speed, reaching its maximum speed of one hundred and twenty li per second.
His flying ship was also a fourth-rank spiritual weapon, but it was clearly weaker than the 'Black Yang.'
Nevertheless, with this maximum speed, Wu Yuan couldn't shake off Tu Chi for a while.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
The two warships traversed the sky at an altitude of several thousand zhang, and the terrifying waves of energy roared, shaking the heavens and earth. One chasing, one fleeing; in a short time, the distance quickly expanded to nearly two thousand li.
And they were getting farther and farther from Fengchuan City.
"Young Master Chi, are you insane? Still chasing?" Fang Youlong frowned slightly. "This Li Xia obviously has an extraordinary background. Besides, even if you chase, you won't catch up."
"What you're doing is making enemies without end, and he will surely guess it's you." Fang Youlong said in a low voice, expressing some dissatisfaction.
Originally, he thought Li Xia had no background, so he felt it was okay to plunder a bit. But the current situation was completely different from what Tu Chi described!
Fang Youlong was not very willing to take risks.
"Young Master Youlong, we've
already offended him." Tu Chi said with a deep voice.
"That's on you, not me." Fang Youlong remained extremely calm. "Young Master Chi, if you can't find this Blue Dragon, there will be other opportunities."
"The key is that you can't catch up now." Fang Youlong shook his head.
In his impression, although Tu Chi was ruthless, he knew when to advance and when to retreat.
"I can catch up."
"As long as we don't let him completely shake us off." Tu Chi calmly said, "I have contacted two elder brothers from Fenghai City and Nanchuan City through the 'Tu Family Immortal Hall,' asking them to intercept ahead."
"What?" Fang Youlong was surprised, couldn't help but look at Tu Chi more.
Really ruthless!
The Tu Family was one of the top families in Fengchuan City and naturally had branches in more than a dozen sixth-rank cities.
And the direction they were flying happened to be towards Fenghai City and Nanchuan City.
In these two sixth-rank cities, there were Golden Core cultivators from the Tu Family stationed.
...
Inside the Black Yang.
"Clearly can't catch up, why still pursue?" Wu Yuan's eyes also flashed with a hint of anger.
Did Tu Chi really want to die?
"Calm down, cultivating the immortal path should not let anger and hatred affect judgment." Wu Yuan instantly calmed down. "Can't catch up, why still pursue?"
"It can only mean that the Tu Family is confident they can catch up to me? Why?" Are there means of acceleration?
If there were, they should have used them earlier.
"Then, what will be in front to block my way?" Wu Yuan instantly figured it out.
Thinking of this.
"Hum~" The Black Yang's hull slightly tilted, quickly fleeing in another direction.
However, the flying ship was not a cultivator. When flying at its maximum speed, changing direction was very difficult and slow.
So, Tu Chi had enough reaction time and quickly caught up.
"Sensed something and trying to escape?" Tu Chi's eyes showed a hint of madness. "Hmph! In the entire Fengchuan City, where doesn't my Tu Family have branches?"
"No matter which direction you escape to, you'll be intercepted." Tu Chi quickly communicated with Golden Core cultivators within the Tu Family through the Illusory Immortal Realm, leveraging his strong position and youth.
"Master Chi." Fang Youlong was somewhat worried. He felt Tu Chi was too crazy, and there was no need for this.
But how could he understand Tu Chi's thoughts and feelings?
"We've already offended him. Letting him go may lead to retaliation in the future. It's better to kill him while he's weak." Tu Chi said with a deep voice.
"I've already backed off, why are you biting on like a mad dog?" Wu Yuan was genuinely angry.
He didn't want trouble.
But the Tu Family was too much, isn't this too much of a bullying?
"Wanna die? I'll send you on your way." Wu Yuan's eyes turned ice-cold, saying in a low voice, "King Qionghai."
"Master, I understand." King Qionghai's heart was also filled with anger. "Prepare to kill."
"Okay."
"You take control of the flying ship, and at a critical moment, use the source crystal weapons." Wu Yuan instructed.
As a fourth-grade flying ship, it was naturally equipped with source crystal weapons, specially enhanced by Wu Yuan through trade.
It had tremendous power.
Of course, the drawbacks of source crystal weapons were also obvious, with a long charging time and relatively simple attack methods.
But in terms of absolute power, there was no doubt.
Quickly, King Qionghai took control of the flying ship, and the core of the ship gathered into a ball of light.
At the same time, with a slight vibration of the flying ship, the Black Yang began to decelerate continuously.
The copper-colored warship approached rapidly.
Whistling winds.
Below, the vast snowy land stretched endlessly, towering snow-capped mountains rising from the ground, giving off a hint of chill even in the high sky.
The climate on the Immortal Island was strange and ever-changing.
Within a radius of a million miles around Fengchuan City, there were all kinds of geographical environments.
They had just chased each other in battle, crossing tens of thousands of miles, passing through lakes, mountains, deserts, and grasslands.
This was the life of cultivators.
In the fierce pursuit and battle, traversing the vast land, some peak powerhouses might even shatter entire worlds.
Both large flying ship warships came to a stop, facing each other from tens of miles away in the void.
"Bang~ Bang~" The hatches opened.
"Sure enough, it's you, Tu Chi." Wu Yuan's robe fluttered, his eyes coldly fixed on the silver-robed figure in the void.
And the middle-aged man in the cyan robe who followed.
"Golden Core High-rank?" Wu Yuan's powerful divine sense could only vaguely sense the vitality of the two.
Wu Yuan was not sure about the specific cultivations of the two; he could only make a rough judgment.
Although, in theory, a ninth-grade foundation could continue to cultivate to the Purple Mansion realm, in reality, a ninth-grade foundation represented extremely weak talent, slow cultivation speed, and breaking through to the Golden Core realm would be difficult.
Therefore, most Golden Core cultivators had foundations around the seventh grade.
Especially those who could break through to the middle stage of Golden Core were very rare, and breaking through to this stage from an eighth-grade foundation was even more scarce.
This was why it became increasingly difficult for high-level cultivators to fight across realms. Because, originally, they were the elites among lower-level cultivators.
At present, these two Golden Core cultivators both stood out.
"Yes, it's me, Friend Lixia. It's been a long time." Tu Chi stared at Wu Yuan with a mocking look, using true essence to transmit his voice.
Wu Yuan's divine sense was powerful, concealing his aura.
Therefore, Tu Chi and Fang Youlong could not perceive any change in Wu Yuan's life force, which was one of the advantages of having a strong divine sense.
"Where's your Dragon Beast Spirit Pet?" Tu Chi glanced around.
"Still for the Spirit Pet?" Wu Yuan stared at Tu Chi.
"Yes! The Dragon Beast Spirit Pet." Tu Chi stared at Wu Yuan. "Lixia, I won't trouble you as long as you hand over the Dragon Beast Spirit Pet. I'll let you go."
Wu Yuan narrowed his eyes.
"Friend, don't deceive yourself. Perhaps you have some background, but this is Fengchuan City." Fang Youlong's voice was cold.
Fengchuan City was Tu Chi's territory.
"Fengchuan City?"
"Tu Chi." Wu Yuan's ice-cold gaze swept over Tu Chi and Fang Youlong. He slowly said, "I've activated the synchronized projection recording of the 'Scarlet Moon Immortal Realm' and submitted it to my sect and family. I advise you both to leave now."
"Once you decide to take action, believe me, you will regret it." Wu Yuan said indifferently.
Projection recording?
Wu Yuan did take action, but it was of no use.
Mentioning sects and families was just a bluff to intimidate the other party.
Indeed, Wu Yuan's words caused Tu Chi and Fang Youlong to pause slightly, and this was what they were most worried about.
The Scarlet Moon Immortal Realm was incredibly mystical.
It also made looting extremely risky.
Killing someone with significant background, unless done instantly, fast enough to catch the other party off guard, would easily leave evidence.
"In the immortal path, life and death are predestined," Tu Chi said coldly. "I'll advise you one last time, hand over the Azure Dragon, and I'll spare your life."
He wasn't really planning to spare Wu Yuan.
But he was worried that Wu Yuan might command the Azure Dragon to commit suicide before dying.
"Fine, I'll give..." Wu Yuan's words were cut off.
Boom! Wu Yuan suddenly rushed out like a lightning bolt, crossing tens of miles of the sky in an instant.
Boom! Invisible earth-yellow qi had completely descended, surrounding Wu Yuan, with vast sword qi crisscrossing the void.
At the same moment.
Swish! Swish! Swish! Nine streams of earth-yellow light shot out from Wu Yuan's palm, tearing through the sky, directly attacking Tu Chi and Fang Youlong.
Wu Yuan completely erupted!
In Wu Yuan's guiding principle, if he could avoid taking action, he would. But once he did, there would be no mercy.
"Kill!" Wu Yuan's killing intent soared.
"Not good!" Tu Chi's face changed slightly, and his figure violently retreated. He was surrounded by a blue qi, resembling flowing water.
Buzz~ Buzz~ Buzz~ Silver-colored treasures, shaped like pillars, flew out from Wu Yuan's hand, combining in an unpredictable manner.
"Tu Chi, is this what you called Golden Core First Stage? Easily captured?" Fang Youlong was also shocked.
Wu Yuan's eruption was too frightening.
Boom! Strands of green qi erupted from his body, spreading over a dozen miles. At the same time, a large cauldron quickly enlarged, supporting him, and a hazy light completely enveloped him.
In an instant, the domains of the three major Golden Core experts erupted simultaneously.
That's right!
In these months, Wu Yuan had quietly broken through to the Golden Core realm. In terms of true essence and magical power, he was comparable to the weakest Golden Core Seventh Stage.
When not erupting, he could hide his aura. Once he erupted, it would naturally be sensed.
Boom!
Boom! Boom! The domains of the three Golden Core experts collided simultaneously, sounding like the thunderous roar of the entire world.
One against two.
However, Wu Yuan's domain momentum, the overwhelming earth-yellow qi, crushed everything.
Fiercely pressing against the green and blue domains!
Taking absolute advantage.
"What realm is this?!"
"My domain comprehension has already reached the Third Stage." Tu Chi couldn't believe it.
"Our magical power clearly has the upper hand." Fang Youlong's face completely changed too.
The two of them, one cultivated to the Golden Core Seventh Stage, and the other was at the Golden Core Eighth Stage, both with a sixth-grade foundation. It could be said that in terms of magical power alone, they were stronger by several small levels, belonging to relatively powerful existences in the high-level Golden Core stage.
But in the collision of domains, they couldn't resist Wu Yuan at all?
It could only mean one thing - Wu Yuan's comprehension of the Dao was too high, and the power contained in his domain far exceeded theirs.
Especially Tu Chi, he completely understood. Where was Li Xia a weak Golden Core realm?
Clearly, he was an unparalleled genius!
"Fifteen years of enlightenment. My domain has already reached the Seventh Stage." Wu Yuan's eyes were incredibly cold.
As a giant earth deity, comprehending the domain was a threshold.
But once comprehended, as long as one followed a systematic cultivation, understanding would rapidly improve. In these fifteen years, Wu Yuan devoted his body and soul to cultivation.
The progress was astonishing, with profound accumulation.
Reaching the Seventh Stage of the domain? Quite normal.
But it's important to note that to step into the Violet Mansion realm, the comprehension of the Dao needed to reach at least the Sixth Stage of the domain. Only then could the virtual Violet Mansion or the engraving of the divine palace of mountains and rivers be constructed.
In other words, as long as Wu Yuan was given enough time, he could completely step into the Violet Mansion realm rapidly.
Speaking of it being slow, it was actually during the moment of domain collision where he had the advantage.
"Die." The nine lifebound flying swords controlled by Wu Yuan had completely erupted. Threads of sword light gathered and surrounded him, countless secret patterns appeared on the nine flying swords, finally converging into a terrifying divine brilliance!
Mystic Yellow Sword Array Second Stage – Nine Swords Form a Brilliance.
When facing a robbery before, Wu Yuan had used this move, but it couldn't be compared to today.
Because Wu Yuan had now broken through to the Golden Core realm.
Boom!
The sword, like a divine brilliance, shone incomparably brightly. The moment it took shape, it was surrounded by a faint earth-yellow qi, as if tearing through the sky and earth, directly splitting Tu Chi's green domain in half!
Where the divine brilliance reached, streams of green qi were directly annihilated.
Pong! Pong! Powerful silver bamboos were blasted away by the divine brilliance. The terrifying shockwaves swept in all directions, as if the explosion of heaven and earth, the shockwave instantly swept across a radius of hundreds of miles, even the earth was subjected to an astonishing impact, trembling.
"No!" Tu Chi widened his eyes.
Too fast.
In the blink of an eye, that terrifying divine brilliance had swept away all his attack and defense methods.
Leaving him with no time to react.
Pong!
The divine brilliance crossed the sky, also crossing Tu Chi's body. Even with battle armor defense, it still couldn't withstand such a terrifying impact, instantly turning into a mist of blood.
Tu Chi, dead!
In just one glance, Wu Yuan, who had broken through, killed the seemingly powerful Golden Core Eighth Stage cultivator, Tu Chi.
This scene completely stunned Fang Youlong.
"Escape!"
Fang Youlong's face turned pale, his figure rapidly retreating backward. A faint blue light shrouded him, boosting his speed to the limit, dashing towards the distance like lightning.
At this moment.
In his mind, there was no thought of confronting Wu Yuan.
"Escape?" Wu Yuan's eyes were cold, without any hesitation. His figure was like lightning, swiftly chasing after Fang Youlong.
At the same time, with a 'splash~', the nine swords that had originally formed the brilliance rapidly changed once again. Numerous flying swords combined like flowing light, quickly forming a strange shape.
No longer the traditional sword shape, but thinner and longer.
As if it were a giant-sized needle!
Wu Yuan flew at high speed, his momentum soaring, making every effort to prevent Fang Youlong from quickly pulling away. At the same time, he pointed his finger from a distance, "Go!"
Swish~
The sword formation, like fine needles, instantly shot out, with a speed several times faster than the brilliance of the sword formation just now.
Mystic Yellow Sword Array Third Stage – Inch-Sized Sword!
——
ps: Seeking monthly tickets!!
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 205: Unyielding Immortality
The Mystic Yellow Sword Array consists of ten stages, originating from the "Mystic Yellow Sword Canon." It has an inseparable relationship with the Mystic Yellow Ten Styles, or one could say they are one and the same.
Each stage of the ten-fold sword array represents a deep understanding of the 'mysteries of the earth.' For example, the first stage, 'Gathering Swords into Formation,' requires reaching the First Stage of the domain before it can be successfully executed.
The second stage, 'Nine Swords Form a Brilliance,' requires at least the Fourth Stage of the domain to cultivate successfully. It also demands a sufficiently strong Divine Soul, as well as considerable time to ponder and master.
Once mastered, the second style is enough to dominate among Golden Core cultivators.
The third stage, 'Inch-Sized Sword,' represents a high-level understanding of the mysteries of the earth, gradually approaching perfect mastery.
Like Wu Yuan.
Before arriving at the Red Moon Immortal Island, his comprehension of the mysteries of the earth was sufficiently high, and his Divine Soul was powerful. However, due to weak mana, he couldn't execute the third style.
It was only upon arriving at the Red Moon Immortal Island, smoothly stepping into the First Stage of the Golden Core, that his mana surged.
By combining mana, Divine Soul convergence, and profound accumulated understanding, he could barely execute it.
But it was far from perfection.
"Once Inch-Sized Sword is unleashed, even if done reluctantly, it can be considered flawless among Golden Core cultivators," Wu Yuan understood this point clearly.
Such terrifying power, once unleashed, could threaten even a Violet Mansion True Immortal.
Generally speaking, being able to master this move makes it no longer an issue to step into the Violet Mansion realm. Therefore, very few Golden Core cultivators have achieved this.
Originally, Wu Yuan didn't plan to unleash this ultimate move. However, Fang Youlong was escaping too quickly, and he was a Golden Core high-level cultivator who comprehended the Wind Domain.
In terms of strength, how could he be compared to Jinquan?
At this moment, Fang Youlong was exploding with speed, using treasures like the 'Speed Talisman' to boost his velocity.
Even for Wu Yuan, chasing him was much more difficult, and it was impossible to catch up using regular techniques.
"Kill!"
Wu Yuan's formidable Divine Soul worked hard to converge the nine lifebound flying swords. Even though the lifebound flying swords had less burden on the Divine Soul, he still faintly felt the pressure.
Nine swords converged into a giant needle, dazzling and radiant. A faint earth-yellow qi enveloped it.
As if piercing through the sky.
Swish!
The sword formation, like a needle, pierced through the long void, unbelievably fast, almost approaching Fang Youlong in the blink of an eye.
If the second style, Nine Swords Form a Brilliance, relied on an absolute burst of power, then the third style, Inch-Sized Sword, represented a special application of the mysteries of the earth.
The earth was boundless, yet the sword arrived in an instant.
This was the Inch-Sized Sword, a sword traversing the earth, a sword array that could merge with the earth's fluctuations and attack.
"So fast!"
Fang Youlong, who was burning his Golden Core essence to escape, was terrified by this sword. There were countless inheritances in the Great Dao, and numerous sword techniques. He couldn't recognize the Mystic Yellow Sword Array, but his Divine Soul warned him clearly, and he couldn't fake it.
Moreover, Tu Chi had just died less than a breath ago.
"Condense!" Fang Youlong gritted his teeth. He was well aware that only by giving it his all did he have a slim hope of surviving.
In almost an instant, one metal shield after another appeared out of thin air. In the blink of an eye, a large number of shields converged to form a massive shield array.
Surrounding Fang Youlong.
"Roar!"
The massive divine needle came whistling. Its speed was so extreme, and its power equally violent.
Golden Core First Stage, Seventh Stage of the domain, Yang Soul Divine Soul.
The combination of the two allowed Wu Yuan to burst forth with unimaginable strength.
Pfft~
The sword formation's divine needle pierced through the shields like tofu, easily catching up to Fang Youlong. It pierced through his domain and directly bombarded the layers of shields.
Accompanied by a terrifying explosion.
Several massive shields were instantly blasted away, and the uncontrollable impact sent them flying in all directions.
Wave after wave of shockwaves swept in.
Pfft~ The divine needle, however, didn't retreat in the slightest. With Wu Yuan's powerful Divine Soul, it only slightly diminished in power.
It continued to shoot towards Fang Youlong.
"Go!" Fang Youlong's eyes were full of determination. The giant cauldron under his feet suddenly flew out.
In an instant, the cauldron rapidly expanded, exuding a terrifying aura.
Boom, boom, boom~ A dreadful suction force emanated from the cauldron, instantly acting on Wu Yuan's sword formation.
This is his lifebound magic treasure.
Just like a sword, representing the most powerful attack in the vast world.
The cauldron also harbors special powers, representing the unquestionably strongest defensive treasure in the vast expanse of time and space.
The strongest offense and the strongest defense.
In an instant, they collided.
In this moment of electric sparks.
"Suppress!" Fang Youlong's hand consecutively produced three talismans, and the three talismans simultaneously exploded, acting on the giant cauldron.
Causing the cauldron to erupt with an unprecedented brilliance.
Wu Yuan's slaughter of Tu Chi happened too quickly and with terrifying strength. Tu Chi was directly killed, and Fang Youlong didn't even have time to react.
But Fang Youlong? He had enough time to react.
Pfft~ Pfft~ Pfft~ The sword formation's divine needle and the massive cauldron collided three times in the turbulent high air.
Each collision unleashed astonishing shockwaves.
Each confrontation caused cracks to appear in the massive divine needle and made the giant cauldron tremble incessantly.
Boom~ The giant cauldron was blasted away, but the divine needle formation's power was also exhausted, depleting its stored true essence.
Swish~ The sword formation turned back towards Wu Yuan, needing to reassemble and replenish true essence and mana.
And in that very moment.
"Activate! Kill!" Fang Youlong's eyes were ice-cold, seemingly roaring. His voice echoed in the minds of several figures in black robes on the Red Bronze Warship.
Tu Chi fell.
Naturally, Fang Youlong became the leader of this group.
Silently.
Swish! A dazzling endless 'red light' streaked across the sky. It was the source crystal weapon on the flying ship!
Directly targeting Wu Yuan.
"This is the only chance! Just one chance!" Fang Youlong stared at Wu Yuan, full of eagerness.
From the moment Tu Chi fell, he understood that things had taken a turn for the worse.
This was a Shura God.
Fang Youlong had quite a few life-saving methods, such as talismans, small source crystal weapons, battle puppets, and so on.
But none of them worked.
These auxiliary methods were easy to achieve at the Qi Sea and Golden Core stages. However, influencing high-level battles involving Golden Core cultivators was much more difficult, and treasures at that level were usually astonishingly expensive!
The treasures in Fang Youlong's hands, at most, could deal with high-level Golden Core cultivators.
Weapons and talismans capable of killing Violet Mansion realm cultivators were much more expensive than those possessed by many Violet Mansion True Immortals.
Fang Youlong, a guest of a family, had no significant background or great fortune.
How could he have such treasures?
The only opportunity was the source crystal weapon on the warship. It needed a long time to accumulate power for one strike.
However, the power unleashed by this one strike was often beyond imagination.
"This one strike, caught off guard, could kill even a Ninth Stage Golden Core cultivator," Fang Youlong stared at Wu Yuan. "Your strength is formidable, and the power of the sword formation is unimaginable, but it also means your true body is incredibly fragile."
A slight disturbance could lead to death.
So, Fang Youlong had been planning all along, waiting for the moment when Wu Yuan's sword formation was exhausted.
Boom!
Almost instantly, a terrifying collision erupted in the void, as if it wanted to destroy heaven and earth. The entire sky changed, forming an interweaving of red and earth-yellow colors.
"This?" Fang Youlong couldn't believe it.
Because what blocked his fatal strike wasn't Wu Yuan using other means; it was the Black Sun Number that had been following all along.
It, being the latecomer, took the initiative during the moment of the Red Warship's surge in spiritual energy.
The Black Sun Number had launched an attack!
In the end, the two streams of light formed by source crystal weapons collided head-on in the void. The aftermath spread far and wide, shaking the heavens and the earth.
And both warships were undisturbed.
"Go." Wu Yuan's eyes were ice-cold. The surging true essence rushed out of his body, quickly infused into the nine lifebound flying swords.
Swish! Swish!
The flying swords once again radiated brilliance, circulating through the heavens and the earth. They whistled and merged into the undulations of the earth, as if blending into space, flashing and leaping like lightning, swiftly attacking Fang Youlong.
Swift to the extreme.
At this moment, the distance between the two sides was over a hundred miles, but in the clash between high-level Golden Core cultivators, how close was this distance?
"Lixia! If you kill me, it means an unending vendetta with the Fenchuan Tu Clan." Fear flashed in Fang Youlong's eyes, the fear of death.
His voice echoed through the domain, resounding in the hundred miles of the world: "Let me go, and we can still talk. I..."
The fearful roar abruptly stopped.
Pfft~ The divine brilliance of the sword formation tore through the sky, instantly dispersing the opponent's shield magic treasure and directly piercing through his body.
Fang Youlong, dead!
His numerous magic treasures lost their master, quickly plummeting to the ground, and the vast green domain rapidly dissipated.
"An endless vendetta?"
Wu Yuan's eyes were cold, revealing madness: "I didn't want to provoke your Fenchuan Tu Clan, but now you've provoked me."
"Killing one is still killing!"
"Killing two is the same."
"I want to see if the Violet Mansion Patriarch of your Fenchuan Tu Clan can catch me." Wu Yuan's figure moved like lightning, swiftly catching up with the red warship that was accelerating to escape.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Domain-fused true essence gathered to form a giant palm, directly gripping the enormous red warship and then fiercely smashing it towards the earth below.

PS: First update.
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 206: Princess Haiyue (Seeking Votes)
Boom! Like a falling star, the massive flying warship instantly stirred up countless rocks and soil, causing surging waves to impact in all directions.
The earth trembled, and countless rocks and soil were thrown up to a hundred zhang high, spreading out for dozens of miles.
As if facing a natural disaster!
However, the red copper warship remained intact, without a single crack on its surface. It demonstrated the extraordinary quality of its material.
"So sturdy." A trace of coldness flashed in Wu Yuan's eyes.
A fourth-grade spiritual weapon flying ship, in terms of durability, was in no way comparable to a seventh or eighth-grade spiritual weapon flying ship. The materials of the two were completely different.
Unfortunately, with the fall of Tuchi and Fang Youlong, the remaining black-robed cultivators inside the flying ship were only Qi Sea realm cultivators. Even if they could reluctantly activate the source crystal weapons, they were powerless to control the entire flying ship.
However, as long as these black-robed cultivators remained concealed inside, Wu Yuan couldn't deal with them in a short time.
As for taking the time to concoct them? If there was enough time, Wu Yuan would naturally be willing.
"But I don't have much time left. Two high-level Golden Core cultivators have died, which is a major event for the Tu Clan." Wu Yuan pondered in secret.
There probably wouldn't be too many Golden Core powerhouses of this cultivation level in the Tu Clan. Ten? Twenty?
Therefore, once the Tu Clan received the news, would they seek revenge?
Wu Yuan didn't know.
Would the Violet Mansion experts from their clan rush over at the first possible moment? Equally uncertain.
"I can use the 'Red Moon Immortal Realm' to threaten them, and similarly, before their deaths, they can completely transmit the message back through the Red Moon Immortal Realm." Wu Yuan's thoughts raced, considering various possibilities.
The conclusion reached was—escape!
The faster, the better.
"You should understand that I have the ability to kill all of you." Wu Yuan's indifferent voice echoed through the heavens and earth, reaching the black-robed cultivators inside the flying ship.
"There are two options: either I break open the flying ship and kill all of you," Wu Yuan's voice was ice-cold, "or you come out yourselves. I guarantee not to kill you. You should all understand that this battle is not intended for slaughter."
A blatant threat.
As the dust settled, the world fell silent. Wu Yuan's gaze was icy, but in his heart, he silently counted: "One, two, three..."
While silently counting, whoosh! Whoosh! The treasures left behind by Fang Youlong and Tuchi, in the form of flowing light, quickly flew towards Wu Yuan.
When Wu Yuan silently counted to the sixth second, ready to give up and put away the remaining treasures to leave.
Suddenly.
The sealed door of the red copper warship unexpectedly opened, followed by more than ten black-robed figures flying out, all of them extremely fearful.
"Senior Lixia, we are willing to surrender." The leader, an elderly black-robed man, spoke in a deep voice, raising his palms towards the sky to show respect.
"We surrender."
These black-robed cultivators were both terrified and apprehensive.
The reason they chose to surrender was simple: even two high-level Golden Core cultivators were killed, and even the source crystal weapons were ineffective.
Resistance again? Certain death!
Surrender might offer a chance for survival.
"Fine, I will keep my promise and not kill you." Wu Yuan said indifferently, waving his hand and directly retracting the red copper warship, nearly 150 meters in length.
At the same time, he quickly collected many treasures left behind by Tuchi and Fang Youlong.
"You, come with me." Wu Yuan's thoughts moved, and the giant palm directly grabbed the black-robed elder, lifting him gently.
In front of Wu Yuan now, Qi Sea realm cultivators had absolutely no room for resistance.
"Go!"
Whoosh! Holding the black-robed elder, Wu Yuan transformed into flowing light and directly entered the opened cabin of the Black Sun, with the ship speeding up rapidly and heading towards the direction of the Star Sword City at full speed.
Source crystals?
At a critical moment, would Wu Yuan care about source crystal consumption?
"Go!"
Whoosh! Wu Yuan grabbed the black-robed elder, transformed into flowing light, and directly rushed into the open cabin of the Black Sun.
Immediately after that.
Boom! The speed of the Black Sun began to soar, quickly reaching its limit, and sped towards the direction of the Star Sword City at full throttle.
Source crystals?
At a critical moment, would Wu Yuan care about source crystal consumption?
Leaving behind more than ten black-robed figures who were staring at each other in confusion, they were at a loss. They never expected Wu Yuan would let them go so easily.
"Quick! Immediately report to the family." One of the black-robed figures reacted.
"Yes, report immediately."
"Hurry, enter the Tu Clan Immortal Hall." These black-robed figures began to transmit messages and seek reinforcements in a panic.
The pressure brought by Wu Yuan was too terrifying just now.
When on the brink of life and death, these black-robed figures were afraid to provoke Wu Yuan and dared not make any moves.
However, these black-robed figures were unaware that the Tu Clan had already received the transmission when Tuchi died.
... Inside the flying ship.
While part of Wu Yuan's consciousness manipulated the flying ship, the majority of his consciousness was interrogating the captured black-robed elder. "Speak, why did Tuchi have to kill me?"
This black-robed elder was obviously the leader among the black-robed cultivators.
So, Wu Yuan caught him to both escape and question, to understand the situation. For example, what was the cause? To avoid it in the future. Also, to gain a clearer understanding of the Tu Clan's strength, how many Violet Mansion cultivators, how many Golden Core cultivators?
Understanding the enemy was crucial.
Gritting his teeth, the black-robed elder said, "Senior Lixia, you said you would spare our lives."
"I spared them already," Wu Yuan said indifferently. "You only have two choices. Speak, and you live."
"Remain silent, and you die!"
...
While Wu Yuan was frantically fleeing and interrogating the black-robed elder.
After Tuchi and Fang Youlong died, the projection images they engraved just before their deaths quickly transmitted back to the Tu Clan automatically.
At the same time, deep within the ancestral hall of the Tu Clan, the 'life lamps' representing several Golden Core cultivators had already extinguished two lamps.
This meant that two Golden Core cultivators had fallen.
The news swiftly reached the Tu Clan's high-level experts, and then the Tu Clan's upper echelons also received the message.
"Tuchi is dead?"
"Even Fang Youlong died? They both had hopes of reaching the Violet Mansion realm, and they died like this." The Tu Clan's high-level members were extremely shocked.
Although the Tu Clan was powerful, losing two high-level Golden Core cultivators at once was a considerable loss.
Soon, these high-level experts from the Tu Clan saw the scenes of the two Golden Core cultivators just before their deaths through the messages in the Red Moon Immortal Realm.
They were even more astonished.
"Lixia? Where did he come from?"
"Is it his powerful cultivation or an unfathomable understanding of the Dao domain?" Many high-level members of the Tu Clan were shocked and frowned.
Why did Tuchi want to offend such a formidable expert?
"According to what Fang Youlong said before his death, this Lixia is still within the range of our Fengchuan City. There may be hope to catch up."
"Should we go?"
"Clearly, Tuchi intended to kill others, but he died. Do we still need to seek trouble? It's really embarrassing." Many Golden Core cultivators from the Tu Clan discussed.
Many of them didn't think retaliation was necessary.
In the path of immortality, life and death were determined by fate. Moreover, from any perspective, Wu Yuan was not at fault.
As for the several Golden Core cultivators who were originally supposed to be invited by Tuchi and were rapidly heading to the battlefield to kill Wu Yuan.
By now, they had all stopped.
"Tuchi actually died?"
"Weren't we about to capture him? But looking at the battle projection, Tuchi was actually killed instantly? How strong is this Lixia?"
"If we go, it's just seeking death!" These Golden Core cultivators secretly felt fortunate and returned to the city one by one.
"Let's wait for the responses from the few Patriarchs."
"Not urgent."
"To kill Lixia, unless the Patriarch intervenes, there's no hope," the Tu Clan's Golden Core cultivators reached a consensus.
In terms of strength, both Tuchi and Fang Youlong were among the top twenty Golden Core cultivators in the Tu Clan.
...The Tu Clan, as the vaguely top-ranked family in Fengchuan City, undoubtedly had a strong foundation with three Violet Mansion cultivators and one Mountain and River cultivator.
Especially the Mountain and River realm cultivator, the Tu Clan's patriarch, who had a lifespan of tens of thousands of years and had been alive for nearly three thousand years.
It was because of him that the entire Tu Clan expanded rapidly and rose to prominence.
Tuchi, as a favored and esteemed junior of the Tu Clan's patriarch, received the news from Fang Youlong via the 'Red Moon Immortal Realm' as soon as possible.
As for the other three Violet Mansion cultivators?
They were not in Fengchuan City at the moment, so although they received the news, they couldn't go to capture Wu Yuan.
This was the norm.
Just like Fengchuan City, where two or three percent of cultivators gathered because it was the place to witness plenty of treasures and receive various latest information.
Similarly, for Violet Mansion cultivators, Fengchuan City was a bit small. If they wanted to join a sect or seek treasures, they would go to higher-level cities!
For example—Star Sword City.
Or—Double Jade City.
So, the one who could truly chase after Wu Yuan in the shortest time was only the Tu Clan patriarch—Tu Guanghe.
And at this moment.
Tu Guanghe, who received the transmission, was currently in the 'Immortal Army Main Hall' in Fengchuan City, attending a tremendously important banquet and couldn't be distracted.
The residence of the Red Moon Immortal Army was vast, and the main hall was exceptionally lively today.
Gathered were prominent figures from the entire Fengchuan City, each holding power in their own right, with backgrounds, authorities, or formidable strength.
However, these figures who could shake Fengchuan City with a stomp were just guests today.
"Friend Tu, do you have something on your mind?" A melodious yet slightly indifferent voice suddenly sounded from the main seat.
In an instant.
Everyone looked towards the dazed Tu Guanghe.
"Hmm?"
Tu Guanghe instantly came to his senses, stood up, and respectfully said, "Your Highness Haiyue, it's my rudeness."
Sitting in the main seat was not a general of the Fengchuan City Immortal Army.
The general was waiting on the side.
Sitting there was a woman in silver armor, her long hair coiled up, her facial features perfectly proportioned, and breathtakingly beautiful, appearing to be around eighteen or nineteen years old.
However, her pair of eyes gave off an endlessly cold feeling!
Sitting there, this woman made these Violet Mansion and Mountain and River realm powerhouses feel their hearts tremble, involuntarily ignoring her beauty.
As if she were a female war god.
However, what made people most fearful was the figure standing behind the woman, completely shrouded in a black robe.
Mysterious! Aloof!
Only a pair of red eyes were exposed, but the blazing fire emblem on the chest alone was enough to make them shudder.
"Rudeness?" The woman in silver armor smiled mysteriously.
"Reporting to Your Highness."
Suddenly, a voice sounded, and a black-robed elder stood up, smiling, "Friend Tu is probably just receiving the news. Two Golden Core high-level cultivators from his clan were just killed not far from the city."
"Now, he probably doesn't want to accompany Your Highness but wants to seek revenge." The black-robed elder chuckled. "Friend Tu, I'm not wrong, am I."
Tu Lianhe's expression remained unchanged, but a hint of coldness flashed in the depths of his eyes.
That damn old man Dong!
"The Dong Clan is the only powerful family in Fengchuan City that can contend with the Tu Clan. These two clans have been competing for nearly a thousand years.
"Friend Tu, is that so?" The woman in silver armor spoke casually. "Two Golden Core experts were killed outside the city. Do you need to take action? Is there no one capable in your clan?"
Tu Lianhe was about to respond.
"Your Highness might not know. The deceased Tu Clan Golden Core cultivators were all at the high-level Golden Core stage, with extraordinary strength, yet they were killed in a very short time. The assailant probably has Violet Mansion realm strength," the black-robed elder replied first. "Tu Lianhe is increasingly resentful! His only thought was that, after the banquet, he must immediately find the traitor within the clan. The Dong Clan must have bribed a certain Tu Clan Golden Core cultivator; otherwise, how could they get the news so quickly?
"Oh? Violet Mansion realm strength?" The woman in silver armor flashed a hint of curiosity in her eyes and smiled. "Friend Dong, you speak so convincingly. Could it be that you have a battle projection? Bring it out, let me have a look."

ps: Second update
(This chapter is complete)
Chapter 207: Control Everything
"Your Highness, this?" The Dong Clan elder in black robes seemed hesitant, glancing at Tu Lianhe.
Seemingly afraid of offending the other party.
"What's this? Unwilling?" The woman in silver armor on the main seat slightly frowned and snorted.
This snort startled all the prominent figures in Fengchuan City present.
"Dong Tse, Tu Lianhe." The Fengchuan City Immortal Army Commander standing nearby sternly scolded, "What are you two doing? Just a battle projection, and you won't even offer your own unique skills? Don't you listen to Princess Haiyue's orders?"
"Hehe." The woman in silver armor showed a smile. "General Luo, there's no need for that."
However, her smile made General Luo and Tu Lianhe shiver.
It's not that they were cowardly; it's just that they understood the elevated status of the 'Princess Haiyue' before them.
Her astonishing background and overwhelming power.
Extraordinary talent to match.
If the other party hadn't coincidentally patrolled this area, this group of Violet Mansion and Golden Core realm cultivators wouldn't have qualified to share a hall with her.
"Your Highness, please wait." Tu Lianhe respectfully said.
He knew that he had already displeased Princess Haiyue, and if he truly angered her, it would be a catastrophe for the Tu Clan.
A single word from her could bring ruin to the Tu Clan!
Swish~
Tu Lianhe waved his hand, and countless rays of light appeared out of thin air, quickly forming a fully three-dimensional projection.
In the projection, there was the scene of Wu Yuan and Tu Chi, as well as Fang Youlong, fighting.
Everyone in the hall couldn't help but look over.
The woman in silver armor also casually glanced.
For her, coming to Fengchuan City was just routine business, part of her training mission.
As for watching a battle projection?
Just seeking some entertainment out of boredom. As for the scene of a few Golden Core realm cultivators fighting? It held no attraction for her.
But in the next moment.
"Hmm?" A hint of surprise flashed in the woman's eyes.
Because the scene that appeared in the projection was Wu Yuan displaying the second layer of the Xuanhuang Sword Formation, 'Nine Swords Become Radiant.'
"Interesting." The woman in silver armor muttered to herself.
"Such a powerful sword formation."
"A formidable realm."
"I know that Fang Youlong and Tu Chi have a keen sense of the realm, but even with a two-to-one advantage, they are still being suppressed?"
"A talented young man. With time for cultivation, entering the Violet Mansion realm should be no problem." These prominent figures in Fengchuan City were quietly discussing.
Only one white-robed elder.
He looked at the projection of Wu Yuan with a hint of surprise.
As the owner of the Red Moon Immortal Tower in Fengchuan City, if he remembered correctly, the person in the projection seemed to have recently entered the Golden Core realm.
Others might not know, but the shocking breakthrough commotion naturally didn't escape the notice of the Red Moon Immortal Tower.
Such strength?
The white-robed elder could recognize him at a glance, and the key was the 'Black Sun Ship' that Wu Yuan had purchased.
Ships of this level were often sold only after a long time, and the white-robed elder needed to personally inquire about them.
Suddenly.
The hall fell silent. The prominent figures of Fengchuan City were all staring at the projection.
Because!
The last strike from the white-clad youth Wu Yuan suddenly changed. At an incredible speed, it swept through the void, directly killing the wildly flying Fang Youlong.
The projection ended here.
"The final strike? There's a sense of merging into space, incredible!"
"Where did this kid come from?"
"His comprehension of the Dao is probably not inferior to many Violet Mansion cultivators, not weaker than us." These prominent figures in Fengchuan City were shocked and discussing.
Before this, they had only regarded the clashes and debates among the younger generation. When they looked at Wu Yuan, it was as if they were looking at a junior.
However, based solely on Wu Yuan's final move, these prominent figures understood that as long as he had enough time, he could definitely step into the Violet Mansion realm!
Not to be underestimated.
Similarly, when the woman in silver armor saw Wu Yuan kill Fang Youlong with one sword, and witnessed the dreamy and misty sword energy flashing through the void, a casual light emerged in her indifferent eyes.
"The third layer of the Xuanhuang Sword Formation?"
"This young man doesn't seem to have a strong mana level, but he can display the third layer? How high is his understanding of the mysteries of the earth? How strong is his divine consciousness?" The woman in silver armor felt a trace of curiosity. "I wonder which sect nurtured this genius."
Correct.
In the mind of the woman in silver armor, Wu Yuan had already been defined as a genius.
"I didn't expect to have such gains on a routine trip." The woman in silver armor thought to herself, "If I could subdue him?"
Although her status was high, if she really wanted to establish her own influence, she still needed a group of powerful followers. The strong individuals in her eyes were not even qualified at the Violet Mansion realm.
In her eyes, Wu Yuan was still weak, but he showed remarkable potential, worth cultivating.
"A Golden Core realm cultivator who can comprehend the third layer of the Xuanhuang Sword Formation; his potential is impressive. I just wonder how long he has been practicing and what grade his immortal foundation is." The woman in silver armor thought.
Less than two hundred years of cultivation, and an immortal foundation above the sixth grade, were all worth her efforts, in her decision.
Thinking of this, she glanced at the figure shrouded in black robes behind her and smiled, "Master Yu, I'll trouble you to go."
The figure in black robes nodded slightly.
Swoosh~
Beside him, a figure in white robes appeared, wearing a black mask, with vitality equally reaching its peak.
The aura of their divine consciousness was the same, with no difference from the figure in black robes.
As if they were one person.
This scene also quieted the hall, and everyone stared in shock at the figure in white robes.
Looking back at the figure in black robes standing still.
"The Dharmakaya!"
"The legendary Dharmakaya." Some Golden Core realm cultivators might not understand, but most of these Violet Mansion realm powerhouses came from sects, and while their realms might not be high, their knowledge was not low.
At this moment, they became even more in awe of the woman in silver armor.
The Dharmakaya!
Anyone who could cultivate the Dharmakaya was a super powerhouse that could dominate the Immortal Continent. Yet, it seemed like this figure was merely the protector of the woman in silver armor?
Hoo!
Silent and invisible, the figure in the white robe, wearing a black mask, had already disappeared in the hall, without causing any disturbance in the air.
The figure in the black robe still stood behind the woman in silver armor.
"Friends Tu and Dong."
The woman in silver armor smiled, "Could you perhaps tell me about the origin of the young man in the projection just now? Why did the conflict arise?"
"And other friends."
The woman in silver armor glanced at the others in the hall, "If anyone knows about him, I hope you can all inform me."
She needed more information.
Talent was only one aspect; origin, character, and many other aspects were crucial to her.
High talent, but if the character was bad, the woman in silver armor wouldn't want to recruit them.
"Your Highness, I have some information about him." The white-robed elder from the Red Moon Immortal Tower suddenly spoke, "However, according to the rules of the Immortal Tower, with Your Highness's authority, you can only access partial information, and the rest is beyond your knowledge."
"Alright, use the Red Moon Immortal Realm to provide me with the relevant information," the woman in silver armor said with a smile.
The white-robed elder nodded.
And in just two seconds, the part of her consciousness that had always stayed in the Red Moon Immortal Realm disappeared from the woman in silver armor. Her face's smile vanished for an instant, replaced by a trace of shock.
Her expression changed in the blink of an eye, quickly returning to normal, but it was noticed by the people in the hall.
Making these Violet Mansion realm cultivators even more curious.
What kind of information was it?
To make Princess Haimonth lose composure.
Seeing this scene, the old man from the Dong family revealed a smile with malicious intent, glancing at Tu Lianhe.
Tu Lianhe's face remained calm, but his heart had sunk to its lowest point.
He wasn't sure what Princess Haimonth was thinking.
However, such a trivial matter wouldn't cause that super existence to mobilize his Dharmakaya. After all, it wouldn't be to help the Tu family seek revenge.
Thinking of this.
"Your Highness, I am not very informed about this matter." Tu Lianhe took the initiative to speak respectfully, "But, based on what I know..."
He didn't dare to lie, quickly narrating what he knew.
The woman in silver armor listened quietly.
...
About two hundred thousand miles away from Fengchuan City.
A black flying ship, over a hundred meters long, was flying at an astonishing speed.
Inside the flying ship.
"A Violet Mansion cultivator, with amazing speed, can fly thousands of miles in a breath." Wu Yuan was calculating information, "That ancestor of the Tu family is unexpectedly at the Ninth Level of the Mountains and Rivers Realm? His speed will be even more terrifying."
Just now, he quickly interrogated the black-robed old man.
He obtained a lot of information about the Tu family.
For example, the cause of the incident, and how powerful the Tu family's strongest was.
Knowing the cause, Wu Yuan felt somewhat helpless; it was merely because Qionghai King was suitable to offer gifts to the other party. He thought it was unfortunate.
Calamity often descends from the sky, and this is what it refers to.
"After fleeing several thousand miles from the battle area, I immediately changed direction to escape." Wu Yuan thought to himself, "If a powerful Violet Mansion cultivator wants to capture me, he probably has reached the battle zone already. He is fast, but he doesn't know the direction of my escape."
Although the ancestor of the Tu family might not necessarily come to kill him.
But Wu Yuan didn't dare to bet. He could only do his best to escape.
Once he lost the bet.
His life would be over.
"As long as I can escape the range of Fengchuan City, then, wherever I hide in any fifth-tier city, the Tu family can't do anything to me." Wu Yuan's eyes flickered.
Fengchuan City was the Tu family's territory.
And in any fifth-tier city on the Red Moon Immortal Continent, they were protected by the Immortal Army, and Violet Mansion and Mountains and Rivers cultivators dared not act recklessly.
Fighting in high-tier cities would be seeking death.
"The farther I escape, the safer it will be." Wu Yuan was silently pondering.
Suddenly.
Buzz~ Suddenly, an invisible force swept across the huge flying ship. Following that, Wu Yuan felt his divine soul stagnate, and the surrounding space seemed to freeze completely.
Whether it was Wu Yuan.
Or Qionghai King.
Or the black-robed old man who was anxiously waiting not far away, the surrounding space froze simultaneously.
This terrifying force seemed to freeze everything. The flying ship stopped, the wind stopped, everything became quiet to the extreme. Even the thought processes of Qionghai King and the black-robed old man seemed to have slowed down a thousandfold.
Only Wu Yuan, relying on his powerful divine soul, could still operate his thoughts normally.
"What? Who is this?" Wu Yuan was shocked.
What kind of power was this?
Too terrifying!
Violet Mansion Realm? Mountains and Rivers Realm? No! Perhaps they could cause destruction, but they absolutely couldn't control the situation like this.
Dang~
The originally tightly closed cabin door suddenly opened.
Swoosh! A figure wearing a black mask appeared in the flying ship. His gaze swept over Wu Yuan, Qionghai King, and others.
What kind of eyes were those?
As if encompassing everything in the world, as if capable of seeing through everything, making Wu Yuan involuntarily shudder.
The gap between the two sides was too great.
It was as if there was an insurmountable difference in the level of life.
"Yang Soul Realm? Not bad, young man." The figure in the white robe spoke with a gentle voice.

Chapter 208: I Acquit You (Seeking Votes)
"Yang Soul Realm?" Wu Yuan was somewhat confused. What kind of existence was this that could see through his details at a glance?
It should be noted that the divine soul is hidden in the upper dantian palace. Normally, unless there is a collision of divine souls, it is almost impossible to be penetrated into the upper dantian palace by the enemy's divine soul attack.
But Wu Yuan felt that everything in the world was controlled by the other party, and his divine soul was not oppressed, indicating that the other party did not invade the upper dantian palace.
He was still seen through at a glance? It could only mean that the gap between them was truly too great, so great that it exceeded Wu Yuan's understanding.
"Refining Void Realm? Or the legendary Separation of Souls Realm?" Various thoughts flashed through Wu Yuan's mind.
Violet Mansion Realm? The possibility was too small.
"Young man, I will lift the restriction on you."
The white-robed figure with the black mask spoke in a gentle tone, "Princess Haimonth wants to see you. So, come back to Fengchuan City with me. Don't struggle, don't resist."
Princess Haimonth?
Who? Wu Yuan was full of confusion.
Whether in reality or during the months of wandering in the virtual realm, Wu Yuan had never seen such a figure.
But there was one thing.
The fact that the super existence in front of him addressed someone as 'Princess' meant that this person was definitely an extraordinary figure.
"Such a figure, would they be in Fengchuan City? Could it be the backing behind the Tu family?" Wu Yuan's mind was in a mess.
He understood that at this moment, life and death were not in his hands.
Escape? Struggle?
Not to mention that he couldn't activate any talismans, even if he could activate three life-saving talismans, in front of such a terrifying existence, it would probably be a joke.
Buzz~ An invisible fluctuation.
Immediately, Wu Yuan felt that the frozen space around him returned to normal, and he could control his body again.
It should be noted that just now, in an instant, except for the divine soul, Wu Yuan felt that even his blood and true yuan had lost control, and time seemed to have stopped.
"Younger generation Wu Xia pays respects to the senior." Wu Yuan slightly bowed, "May I ask how the senior would like to be addressed? And what does Princess Haimonth want from me?"
When you should bow, you should bow.
Stubborn? Wu Yuan didn't think the other party wouldn't dare to crush him.
Moreover, there was no shame in bowing to a super powerhouse.
Being alive is the most important.
"You knowing my name means that you naturally know." The figure in the white robe said lightly, "As for Princess Haimonth? She currently holds the position of the Red Moon Immortal Army commander-in-chief in Star Sword City."
Wu Yuan widened his eyes.
The Red Moon Immortal Army commander-in-chief of Star Sword City? Definitely a figure at the pinnacle of power in Star Sword City.
"Let's go!"
The white-robed figure with the mask waved his hand, and Wu Yuan felt the surrounding world change. He had followed the white-robed figure and left the flying ship.
The flying ship kept shrinking, as if it were a toy, falling into the hands of the white-robed figure, disappearing without a trace.
Wu Yuan was increasingly shocked.
It should be noted that King Qionghai and the black-robed old man were still in the flying ship; their lives couldn't be stored in a storage magical treasure.
"Feather Refining Void? Is it the Void Realm of Qi Refiners?" Wu Yuan secretly thought; this represented an extremely powerful method of Qi Refiners.
Swoosh!
An invisible force enveloped Wu Yuan, and immediately, he felt the surrounding world change rapidly, as if countless lights were flowing backward.
Even with Wu Yuan's powerful divine soul, he could only faintly feel that he was moving at high speed.
After only two breaths.
The scene around him returned to normal. A vast and huge city appeared in Wu Yuan's line of sight.
"Feng... Fengchuan City?" Wu Yuan's heart surged with shock.
It should be noted that according to Wu Yuan's estimation, he had already traveled about two hundred thousand miles away from Fengchuan City during his frantic escape, which was a very distant distance.
And this white-robed figure, carrying him, crossed two hundred thousand miles in two breaths?
One breath for ten thousand miles!
On average, one could move sixteen to seventeen thousand miles in one second. What a terrifying flying speed!
This is the true powerhouse of the Immortal Dao.
"Go down," the figure in white robes uttered two words.
No room for Wu Yuan to resist.
Buzz~ Silently, Wu Yuan felt the surrounding scenery change with a swish, and he found himself in the center of a majestic palace.
Hoo~ The white-robed figure with the mask took a step forward and merged into the black-robed figure behind the main seat.
Only Wu Yuan was left standing in the hall.
"Here?" Wu Yuan immediately felt a powerful and sharp gaze focused on him.
From all directions.
"Violet Mansion Realm!"
"So many Violet Mansion Realms." Wu Yuan was shocked. He swept his gaze around and felt the surging breath of powerful individuals from all sides.
Each one surpassed the strongest he had ever seen.
His divine soul gave warning signals.
Immediately, he understood that most of the people in this hall were at the level of Violet Mansion Realm and Mountain and River Realm.
More than ten of them.
Only such powerful individuals could pose such a threat to him.
However, Wu Yuan only glanced at the surrounding experts with his peripheral vision. The majority of his attention was instantly attracted to the silver-armored woman on the main seat.
Beautiful!
Absolutely beautiful.
Wu Yuan could swear that he had never seen such a beautiful woman, with an almost perfect face, as if born from heaven!
Wearing silver armor, she exuded a heroic and graceful aura.
What made him tremble was her pair of eyes, ice-cold to the extreme. Just a glance made Wu Yuan instinctively shiver, and he dared not meet her gaze again.
Like an ancient ice mountain.
"This silver-armored woman is a powerhouse, at least at the Violet Mansion Realm." Wu Yuan instantly judged.
And from the seating arrangement.
"Younger generation Wu Xia pays respects to Princess Haimonth." Wu Yuan bowed without a trace of hesitation, showing respect to the silver-armored woman.
Inside the hall, it was silent.
"Lixia? You are not stupid; you can judge that it's me at a glance." A pleasant and cold voice transmitted from the main seat.
Wu Yuan lowered his head to listen.
"You and the Tu family's matter, I've just learned about it." The silver-armored woman looked down at Wu Yuan, her ice-cold eyes seeming to penetrate him. "Tu Chi wanted to seize your spirit beast, fought with you, and you killed him. Is that correct?"
"Yes." Wu Yuan nodded.
"Tu Lianhe." The silver-armored woman's gaze swept over the old man beside her.
"Your Highness." Tu Lianhe stood up and bowed.
Wu Yuan finally understood. The old man next to him was unexpectedly the ancestral master of the Tu family, the Mountain and River Ninth Layer?
No wonder his gaze towards him was a bit different.
"Lixia, I, Zhuo Haimonth, in my capacity as the general of the Red Moon Immortal Army in Star Sword City, acquit you of any guilt," the silver-armored woman's voice was indifferent. "At the same time, Tu family has no involvement in this matter. I judge both sides to reconcile, with no blame for the past."
"Do you have any objections?" The silver-armored woman's gaze swept over the two.
"No objections, Your Highness is wise." Wu Yuan said solemnly; reconciliation with the Tu family was what he wished for.
Just arrived at the Immortal Island, he had not joined any forces yet, and Wu Yuan was unwilling to have enmity with Violet Mansion families.
Moreover.
Based on the existing clues, it was indeed Tu Chi's own decision, and it had little to do with the Tu family.
"No objections." Tu Lianhe said solemnly.
He felt stifled in his heart, but what could he do? Faced with the powerful 'Zhuo Haimonth,' he dared not show any dissatisfaction.
"In that case, both of you shall make a joint oath in the name of 'Taiyuan True Saint,'" the silver-armored woman said indifferently.
Tu Lianhe lowered his head.
Wu Yuan, on the other hand, remained calm in his heart.
Just like the Wu lineage cultivators, when making an oath, they often used 'Ancestor Wu' as the origin and would be bound by the supervision of the Ancestor Wu's karma.
Similarly, countless beings on the Red Moon Immortal Island were fundamentally under the rule of the Taiyuan Immortal Palace, and even the Red Moon Immortals were members of the Taiyuan Immortal Palace.
And Taiyuan True Saint was probably the supreme leader of the Taiyuan Immortal Palace.
Swiftly, Wu Yuan and Tu Lianhe made their vows one by one, feeling an invisible force acting on them.
However, the binding force was relatively weak.
"The banquet continues. General Luo, you will oversee the next proceedings," the silver-armored woman stood up and instructed.
"Yes," General Luo beside her respectfully replied.
"Lixia." The silver-armored woman looked down at Wu Yuan and said, "Follow me."
She took a step forward, walking out of the hall, and the black-robed figure behind her, along with more than ten figures similarly enveloped in red robes, quickly followed.
Wu Yuan hurriedly followed.
It wasn't until they all disappeared from sight that the atmosphere in the hall eased slightly, and discussions began.
"Princess Haimonth, did you take a liking to this Wu Yuan?"
"This Wu Yuan is truly lucky."
"We can't even become followers of Princess Haimonth."
"Hmph! If you have such talent, Princess Haimonth would probably take notice of you too." These Violet Mansion Realm experts discussed.
Only Tu Lianhe's expression was very unpleasant.
At this point, anyone could see that Princess Haimonth valued Wu Yuan highly.
Otherwise.
During the few days when the other party surveyed Fengchuan City, only General Luo received a routine audience, as for other Violet Mansion Realm experts?
None of them received a separate summons.
"Taoist Tu, your luck is truly bad this time," the Old Ancestor of the Dong family gloated.
"Are you here to see my joke?"
Tu Lianhe sneered, "Old Daoist Dong, I won't die even if you die twice before me."
After speaking, Tu Lianhe directly stood up and walked towards the outside of the hall.
The Old Ancestor of the Dong family's face immediately darkened. Tu Lianhe hit where he was worried. The lifespan of a Violet Mansion Realm was three thousand years.
But what about the Mountain and River Realm? A lifespan of ten thousand years.
Tu Lianhe, if placed among Qi Refiners, would have almost reached the end of his life, but among the Mountain and River Realm, he was still considered young.
"Hmph." The Old Ancestor of the Dong family pondered silently.
...
Wu Yuan followed Zhuo Haimonth out of the main hall of the Immortal Army. The group flew in the sky without any array restrictions.
They quickly arrived at an extremely luxurious mansion that occupied an enormous area. In the center of the mansion was a palace.
They came to a side hall.
"Lixia, take a seat," Zhuo Haimonth said lightly. She sat directly on the main seat, appearing quite domineering.
"Your Highness, I..." Wu Yuan was about to speak.
"Lixia, His Highness asked you to sit, so sit," a close follower in red robes said with a deep voice. The voice was neutral, making it impossible to discern the gender.
His whole person was shrouded in the robe, and the robe seemed to have an invisible force, making it difficult to spy on him.
Not only him, but Wu Yuan couldn't perceive the truth or falsehood of all these followers who came with the silver-armored woman.
Wu Yuan no longer stood on ceremony and sat down.
"Lixia, I let you reconcile with the Tu family. Do you have any objections?" Zhuo Haimonth looked down at Wu Yuan, and her aura slightly converged, making her eyes not so cold.
Her beauty became even more apparent.
"No objections." Wu Yuan said in a low voice.
"Don't be too constrained. You are different from those Violet Mansion cultivators just now," Zhuo Haimonth said indifferently.
Wu Yuan's pupils contracted slightly, wondering what she meant.
"You've cultivated for only a few decades? Just entered the first level of the Golden Core, but your life aura is strong, and you can refine the third level of the Mysterious Yellow Sword Formation. Your divine consciousness is also formidable," Zhuo Haimonth looked down at Wu Yuan and whispered, "Your Immortal Foundation is extraordinary, at least a fourth-grade Immortal Foundation. Your understanding of the Dao and the talent of your divine consciousness are both remarkable."
"Your future cannot be compared to those Violet Mansion cultivators."
Listening to this, Wu Yuan's heart surged with shock and awe. This Princess Haimonth seemed too formidable; in an instant, she almost saw through him.
"Thank you for the praise, Your Highness," Wu Yuan said respectfully.
"Don't be surprised. I've seen battle projections, and the 'Mysterious Yellow Sword Canon' is a powerful sword technique. Ordinary Violet Mansion cultivators might not know it, but it doesn't mean I can't recognize it," Zhuo Haimonth smiled, "As for your recent breakthrough, I learned about it from the Red Moon Immortal Tower."
"I have the authority to access some information from the Immortal Tower," Zhuo Haimonth said matter-of-factly.
But it made Wu Yuan even more astonished.
Immortal Tower authority?
Combined with the other's identity – the commanding general of the Immortal Army in a fourth-grade city.
And considering the protector accompanying her.
The nobility of her identity was simply unmistakable.
"I suggested you reconcile with the Tu family to spare you some trouble. After all, from what I understand, you haven't suffered any losses," Zhuo Haimonth looked down at Wu Yuan.
Wu Yuan nodded slightly.
Indeed, he hadn't suffered any losses.
"I've always been straightforward," Zhuo Haimonth said indifferently, "I'm not doing this solely because I favor you."
"Instead, I would like to invite you to become a member of my 'Immortal Guard.'"
