Chapter 948 - 300: A Drop of Treasure Blood

Yunshui City.

The development of events was indeed as Qi Buyu had anticipated.

Because of the lingering of the four people across the Laishui River, and most of the opportunity-rich lands of the Yuanzhao region already being occupied by others, those cultivators from the outer world, some of whom hadn’t gained enough benefits, had set their sights on the area of Yunzhong County.

These outer world cultivators were initially only lingering around Yunzhong County, probing to see where the bottom line of Yunshui City, supposedly backed by a local Nascent Soul True Monarch, lay.

But as they probed step by step, they gradually discovered that Yunshui City’s Nascent Soul True Monarch did not appear domineering, merely standing at the city’s cloud-laden skies.

More and more outer world cultivators, upon discovering this situation, began to act with increasing audacity.

First, Ning Zhen and Li Honghu, backed by the Cyan Moon Dao Sect, encountered several individuals from the Golden Luan Secret Realm while heading to the previously explored Dragon Tamer’s Mansion.

Conflict erupted between the two sides, battling fiercely over the skies of Hidden Dragon Mountain.

The fight between the Cyan Moon Dao Sect and the Golden Luan Secret Realm instantly drew the attention of many outer world cultivators.

Above Yunshui City, Qi Buyu had completely lost interest in drinking, worriedly keeping a vigilant eye on the powerful cultivators constantly gathering around.

"Can’t hold them back... can’t hold them back!"

"With so many Nascent Soul True Monarchs, if turmoil erupts, I simply cannot hold them back!"

After careful consideration, Qi Buyu realized that over time, at least dozens of Nascent Soul True Monarchs had arrived one after another!

The Golden Core Purple Mansion cultivators had surpassed a hundred!

A portion of these dozens of Nascent Soul True Monarchs and over a hundred Golden Core Purple Mansion cultivators were watching the battle between the Cyan Moon Dao Sect and the Golden Luan Secret Realm in the mountains, planning to sneak into the Dragon Tamer’s Mansion during their desperate clash to hunt for treasures.

Another part discovered signs of exotic treasures appearing in the Laishui River not far from Yunshui City, gathering on the southern bank of the Laishui River, waiting for an opportunity.

Qi Buyu knew well that at this moment, if just one cultivator among the many on the opposite river bank made a move, the others would immediately swarm and besiege him.

He wanted to flee, but he didn’t dare make any moves because of several Shen Family members in Yunshui City below.

"Ants!"

"A bunch of damned ants!"

"What sin did I commit to deserve such retribution!?"

Qi Buyu roared with anger inside, wishing he could rush down now and kill Shen Wen’an and others in the city.

Even now, he still believed that what he suffered today was all because of the Shen Family of Yunshui City, completely unaware that it was actually the calamity he faced as a local cultivator of the Yangnao Land.

And as the executioner who presided over a blood sacrifice, slaughtering over two million living beings of the Yangnao Land, his calamity was far from over.

Qi Buyu felt extremely anxious inside, not at all like the mindset a Nascent Soul True Monarch should possess.

He wore a solemn expression, watching the fierce battle erupting in the void above Hidden Dragon Mountain from a distance, struggling internally for a long time, ultimately gritting his teeth and forming finger techniques to strike at the void before him.

A ripple emerged in the void, followed by the slightly annoyed voice of Xu Xiu.

"Didn’t I say, unless it’s a life-and-death crisis, do not disturb me."

Xu Xiu was currently racing against time to extract the Dao Source and refine the Dao Source Secret Realm.

Such an initiative by Qi Buyu to contact him naturally displeased him greatly.

"Please calm your anger, my lord."

The arrogant and haughty Qi Buyu immediately adjusted his attitude to one of utmost respect and flattery when facing Xu Xiu.

With a respectful bow, he said, "My lord, the situation is somewhat out of control."

"I fear... fear I cannot control the situation, so I reluctantly consulted you."

Xu Xiu, after a brief silence, spoke, "Be specific, what has happened?"

Noticing his tone easing slightly, Qi Buyu was overjoyed and immediately bowed, saying, "There are still a few members of the Shen Family in Yunshui City for some unknown reason who have not left."

"Moreover, an exotic treasure has coincidentally appeared in the river several dozen miles south of the city, and the ancestral land of the Dragon Taming Clan in the mountains has also attracted the attention of those wolves."

"In recent times, dozens of Nascent Soul True Monarchs and over a hundred Golden Core Purple Mansion cultivators from the outer world have gradually gathered around Yunshui City."

"I fear that if any mishap occurs, the entire Yunshui City will be razed to the ground in an instant..."

His words trailed off there.

Xu Xiu, clearly understanding his implication, spoke coldly, "Put away your little schemes, I can tell you right now, whether Yunshui City is destroyed is not my concern."

"But the direct lineage of the Shen Family must not fall easily."

"They are both your calamity and mine."

"Even if you choose to betray me now and escape from the Yangnao Land, calamity will soon befall, and you’ll meet a violent death."

"If you don’t believe me, you can try."

Calamity!?

Qi Buyu’s heart trembled, having evidently never considered this from the beginning.

"My lord, this..."

On the other side, Xu Xiu sighed and said, "We, as cultivators of the Yangnao Land, are akin to offspring of the land’s essence."

"Now that the entire Yangnao Land is on the brink of annihilation, do you think all the living beings of the Yangnao Land can remain unaffected?"

He had not previously told everyone about the impending calamity the Dao collapse would bring to all life in the small world.

This was to prevent them from seeing the danger and harboring concerns in their hearts.

Now that everything was set in stone, he no longer intended to hide it.

Upon hearing this, Qi Buyu was taken aback.

But when he thought of his Longevity Pavilion disciples, his expression suddenly turned even grimmer.

Since every living being in the Yangnao Land has its own calamity, the disciples of the Longevity Pavilion would inevitably face theirs as well.
