“Indeed, everyone has witnessed Shen Yifeng’s strength.

The authority of the Divine Kingdom this time is below the Tribulation stage. Even though his realm is only at the Nascent Soul level, his combat power is a dimension reduction attack.

We can’t help but suspect that the reason so many great powers have suffered so many casualties this time is because Shen Yifeng has been continuously causing death and destruction inside.”

“Actually, the people from the Luo River Basin who have entered usually have balanced strength. Even with normal conflicts, it wouldn’t result in such a large-scale death toll.”

“Ha, moreover, the forces that suffered the heaviest casualties this time are mostly those with some conflicts with the Heavenly Dragon Race and the Ji Clan.

To say that they were eliminated in normal battles seems too coincidental.”

“…”

The people from different powers spoke one after another, their emotions growing increasingly angry.

Especially those forces that suffered heavy losses in the Divine Kingdom, they seemed to want to tear apart the Ji Clan and the Heavenly Dragon Race.

Seeing this, Yan Ling and the other Yan Clan members smiled slightly.

However, they did not take the lead.

Instead, they stood on the sidelines and watched from a distance.

“Our Yan Clan has suffered considerable losses this time, but fortunately, Miss Yan Xia’s vitality token hasn’t been shattered yet.”

“Indeed, if Miss Yan Xia had also perished, this time would have been an unbearable loss for our Yan Clan.”

“…”

While enjoying the spectacle, the many old men beside Yan Ling sighed with these reflections.

Upon hearing this, Yan Ling raised an eyebrow: “That girl will surely be fine. Didn’t you see who she went in with?

Not only will she be fine, she will probably have a very comfortable time in the Divine Kingdom.”

Saying this, Yan Ling’s tone became slightly unfriendly as he thought about how Yan Xia had repeatedly disobeyed his orders and entered the Divine Kingdom with the enemy.

He still harbored some resentment.

In his heart, he had already decided that once Yan Xia came out, he would need to suppress her a bit.

Hearing Yan Ling’s words, one of the white-haired old men of the Yan clan sighed.

“Miss Yan Xia is just being overly cautious, but it’s not her fault. After all, she has just returned to the clan.

This generation, our Yan Clan will certainly create a Twin Star situation.

I hope the young master can be more understanding.”

These old men who followed Yan Ling were all his confidants.

It was rare for them to speak up for Yan Xia.

Yan Ling raised his eyebrows again, but did not dwell on the topic.

Everyone’s gaze shifted back to the front.

More and more forces, those with Tribulation Realm and Celestial Being Realm auras, were directly locking onto Qiu Yaoyao and the others still present, including Ji Qinghshan and Ji Qinghe.

“Do these guys want to start a war with our Heavenly Dragon Race?”

Qiu Yaoyao’s lips curled into a contemptuous smile.

Although her cultivation is only at the Tribulation Realm, but her aura was no weaker than any of the others present.

And her identity as the first sequence in the Heavenly Dragon Race was enough to give her the confidence to face any situation without fear.

On the other side, Ji Qinghe’s aura remained hidden, her expression still calm.

A smile tugged at the corner of her lips: “I never thought that one day, my Ji Clan would become the target of everyone in the Luo River Basin.

I wonder what kind of explanation you all want from us?”

Ji Qinghe’s smile gradually turned mocking.

Looking at the people in front of her, Ji Qinghe felt a slight sense of contempt.

However, as she spoke, the people from the Ji Clan subtly moved closer to Qiu Yaoyao and the others from the Heavenly Dragon Race.

There were many people surrounding them, and if a sudden battle broke out, the Ji Clan would end up at a disadvantage.

In response to Ji Qinghe’s taunt, an old man in a black robe with a sinister look cackled, “Who doesn’t know that Shen Yifeng is your beloved, Ji Qinghe?

Who doesn’t know that last time in the Divine Kingdom, it was the Ji Clan that protected Shen Yifeng?

Otherwise, how could he have reached his current position?

To say that Shen Yifeng is not a hitman kept by your Ji clan, no one in the Luo River Basin would believe it.”

As soon as these words were spoken, Ji Qinghe’s face darkened.

A killing intent emanated from her.

“Hehe, what are you going to do, Ji Qinghe? Do you want to silence us by killing us?

Everyone in the Luo River Valley knows this. Can you kill us all?”

With someone leading the charge, many others quickly joined in.

“Right, others might be afraid of your Ji clan, but we are not afraid.

Do you think your Ji Clan would dare to make enemies of all the other cultivators in the Luo River Valley?”

“…”

The words of the crowd became more and more aggressive.

The Ji Clan had become the target of their attacks.

As more and more people joined in, Ji Qinghe’s face gradually calmed down.

“Fine, say what you want.

I won’t argue with you, but are you all calling for a direct war with my Ji Clan?

We cultivators can’t just condemn someone with words, right? We have to take matters into our own hands.”

As she spoke, Ji Qinghe’s face remained calm, but she had already taken out a green long sword.

At this moment, her fighting spirit seemed to be at an all-time high.

Perhaps it is the same in every world: if you do not resist, the endless insults and attacks will never stop.

But when you show your sharp edge, it will directly scare away countless cowards.

Seeing that Ji Qinghe had no intention of explaining and only wanted to fight, many people reluctantly took a few steps back.

And this scene once again made Yan Ling’s face turn grim from afar.

Ji Qinghe had always been the unattainable white moonlight in his heart, someone he, Yan Ling, had long regarded as his exclusive possession.

However, at this moment, Ji Qinghe was openly defending the enemy he despised the most right in front of all the forces in the Luo River Basin.

He hadn’t even had a proper confrontation with Shen Yifeng, yet he had already suffered repeated defeats.

“Shen Yifeng really deserves to die.

Perhaps the landscape of the Luo River Basin will indeed change.”

Yan Ling muttered to himself.

He immediately decided to stop being a spectator.

Taking a step forward, he moved to the front of the crowd.

His gaze fell calmly on Ji Qinghe and the Heavenly Dragon Race members beside her, including Qiu Yaoyao.

“Before we reach a conclusion, I would like to ask the members of the Ji Clan and the Heavenly Dragon Race to stay here and not move around.

If it is as everyone says, then the losses of all the forces in the Divine Kingdom will have to be properly addressed with your two clans.”

As he spoke, Yan Ling’s tone became quite stern.

It was as if he had already taken on the role of enforcer for this incident.

However, when he said this, a look of surprise appeared on the faces of those around him.

Everyone knew the relationship between the two of them.

In most people’s minds, wasn’t Yan Ling the number one sycophant of Ji Qinghe?

Even though there had been endless friction between the Ji Clan and the Yan Clan, it had mostly been done in secret.

In public, Yan Ling had often maintained his image as a devoted lover.

Why had he suddenly stood up and opposed her openly?

Regardless, it was a good thing for the others that Yan Ling had taken a stand.

Ji Qinghe just looked at him indifferently, showing no emotional fluctuation.

It seemed like she had already anticipated that Yan Ling would cause trouble at this moment.

Her complete indifference.

But this indifference also pierced Yan Ling’s heart deeply.

It seemed as if all his fantasies about Ji Qinghe had been shattered at this moment.

He no longer cared about what he couldn’t obtain through proper means, and of course, he wouldn’t destroy it completely.

Instead, he would use even stronger means to take it forcefully in the future.

At that time, as far as Yan Ling was concerned, Ji Qinghe would no longer be his lover.

Just a servant!

“Interesting, I didn’t expect the opening of the Divine Kingdom to actually push such a powerful ally to our Heavenly Dragon Race.”

At this moment, Qiu Yaoyao smiled at Qing Mo beside her.

In the Luo River Basin, they were naturally formidable, but no one would ever complain about having too many allies, especially when it came to a top-tier force like the Ji Clan.

“What should we do now?”

Qing Mo looked at Qiu Yaoyao and asked.

Although his cultivation was indeed stronger than Qiu Yaoyao’s, his status could not be compared to Qiu Yaoyao’s first-tier status.

Qiu Yaoyao raised an eyebrow: “Of course, if these guys want to fight, we won’t be afraid.

But from their appearance, it seems like they just want to surround us without attacking, trying to force us to give up some benefits with words. How is that possible?

And my main interest right now isn’t to fight with them.

Let’s wait a little longer. I want to know exactly what happened in the Divine Kingdom.”

Although she hadn’t had much interaction with Shen Yifeng, Qiu Yaoyao knew that Shen Yifeng would never randomly kill innocent people.

After all, many of the people who had died earlier had nothing to do with Shen Yifeng’s background.

In her opinion, something unexpected must have happened in the Divine Kingdom.

And she believed that most people could think of something like that as well.

Their current actions were merely an attempt to find an opportunity to provoke the Heavenly Dragon Race.

Qing Mo nodded. Since they had decided to ignore them, they simply sat down in the void.

They immediately entered a state of calm cultivation.

As Qiu Yaoyao had predicted, when they decided to ignore the others, even though the surrounding crowd became increasingly angry, no one dared to make the first move.

After all, they were just a bunch of clowns.

Su Jingzhen and the others had no idea what was happening outside the Divine Kingdom.

With Shen Yifeng traveling at full speed, he had already brought Su Jingzhen to Clear Light Ridge.

Luckily, everything was still calm here.

The people who had been threatened by him earlier had actually not left.

After all, Su Jingzhen had said that Bai Suzhen had already memorized everyone’s aura, and leaving would mean certain doom.

Compared to taking their chances elsewhere, it was clearly more important to preserve their own lives.

“I can sense that the void of the Clear Light Ridge is now filled with a tempting aura.

This is the kind of power that the ancient demon king used to lure and dominate others’ divine consciousness, although it’s not particularly strong.

If we hadn’t caused such a commotion in the Divine Capital, the Clear Light Ridge would probably be empty by now.

And all the people who entered the Divine Kingdom would have become food for the old demon king and his followers.”

When Su Jingzhen felt the situation at the Clear Light Ridge, her face showed considerable shock.

“Master, there is no time to waste. Let’s get started.”

Clear Light Ridge was a vast area, and they might have to rely on Master’s strength.

Before Su Jingzhen’s words had even left his mouth, Shen Yifeng took a step and stood high above Clear Light Ridge without any hesitation.

Immediately, a formidable aura emanated from him, spreading out in all directions from his position.

Everyone within the range of the Clear Light Ridge could feel it.

In the next instant, he spoke out loudly in Su Jingzhen’s name: “I am Su Jingzhen. Everyone, gather here immediately!”

His combat strength was already comparable to that of an Ascendant, and under the influence of such a massive energy, even those who were in the midst of cultivation in some special areas of Clear Light Ridge were instantly awakened.

Upon hearing that it was Su Jingzhen in person, everyone hurriedly rushed toward the source of the voice.

Although Clear Light Ridge was quite large, the cultivation levels of those who had entered this time were also relatively high.

In less than the time it takes to burn an incense stick, thousands of people had gathered before Su Jingzhen.

Seeing these people, Su Jingzhen’s expression turned grave.

He couldn’t imagine the level the Ancient Demon King would reach if all these people became his food.

“Everyone, abandon everything in Clear Light Ridge.

You don’t need to hand over what you’ve gained during this time.

Now, I only have one request: retreat to the northwest!”

After saying that, Su Jingzhen told them the exact location.

The thousands of people in Clear Light Ridge were stunned for a moment, not understanding what Su Jingzhen meant.

However, they didn’t have to understand.

At this moment, Su Jingzhen’s gaze shifted to Shen Yifeng, who understood immediately.

He immediately drew his Killing Sword.

“Everyone, act now.

Otherwise, my Sword of Slaughter will show no mercy!”

Shen Yifeng’s cold voice echoed, and the aura of death instantly spread throughout the area, locking onto everyone present.

Only then did many of the people in Clear Light Ridge realize that the one who had arrived was Shen Yifeng!

This was the first time they had seen Shen Yifeng in the Divine Kingdom, and they were terribly shocked.

But now, they also felt a real sense of imminent death.

How Shen Yifeng had entered was no longer important.

No one dared to hesitate, and they immediately sprinted in the direction Su Jingzhen had indicated, fearing that one step too late would result in being caught by Shen Yifeng’s sword energy.

Indeed, absolute power and the threat of death were the most effective ways to ensure compliance.

Seeing these people leave, Su Jingzhen did not relax.

His expression became even more serious.

He unconsciously glanced in the direction of the capital.

“I hope Suzhen can hold out.”

But then, he did not hesitate and turned to Shen Yifeng again. “Master, let’s go.

The time we have left is limited.”
