“Interesting. This Su Jingzhen seems even more impressive than I expected,” Zou Zeyu remarked with a smile to the Second Elder beside him.

Sometimes, just observing a person’s demeanor can give a general sense of their character.

At this moment, Su Jingzhen appeared to Zou Zeyu as someone who embodied the poise and charisma expected of a young prodigy.

“What does the Holy Son think?”

Upon hearing Zou Zeyu’s praise, the Second Elder beside him looked somewhat surprised.

It was rare for him to hear Zou Zeyu compliment anyone.

Before this, the only young person who had caught his attention was Tuoba Junlin from the Tuoba family.

“As for the specifics, we haven’t had a head-on confrontation yet, so it’s hard to say for sure.

But I believe he should be about as good as Tuoba Junlin.

Now I can somewhat understand Yuebai’s choice.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t be the Luo Yuebai I’m familiar with.”

As Zou Zeyu spoke, there was a hint of satisfaction in his heart.

If Luo Yuebai’s choice of candidate was outstanding, at least he wouldn’t feel too defeated in this regard.

He wouldn’t be too disappointed in Luo Yuebai.

Meanwhile, Tuoba Junlin’s lips curled into a smile.

“Elder Qin, did you see? The one from Longyan City and Su Jingzhen really seem to hit it off.

As merchants, there’s no need for us to get directly involved in many matters.

We only need to conduct our business properly.

The rest is none of our concern.”

Tuoba Junlin spoke with his usual calm demeanor, his eyes still carrying their characteristic arrogance.

The bent old man, Elder Qin, nodded slightly, saying nothing more.

As time passed, more and more people gathered at the edge of the gray mist.

At this moment, on a rooftop not far from Su Jingzhen and the others, a group of ten suddenly appeared.

Seeing these ten people, Su Jingzhen’s smile reappeared.

“It really is a small world. Is this what they call a fateful encounter?”

Su Jingzhen couldn’t help but tease.

Xuening and the others also turned their gaze in that direction.

Standing next to them were none other than the ten members of the Dongxuan Academy who had crossed paths with them on the road.

As soon as Su Jingzhen’s voice rang out, the expressions of the young people from Dongxuan Academy suddenly changed.

During the previous battle between Cang Yun and Su Jingzhen, Su Jingzhen had left an indelible impression on them.

In fact, Su Jingzhen had even cast a shadow over them.

It wasn’t that they had come here specifically because they saw Su Jingzhen and the others.

The gray mist’s periphery was mostly occupied by cultivators from various factions.

However, because it was near the Evil Moon Sect, some people instinctively avoided approaching.

Thus, the group from Dongxuan Academy had arrived at this position first.

Now, facing their rivals in such close quarters, Han Ning and another Soul Formation stage cultivator instinctively wanted to lead their group away.

Yet, looking around, they found no suitable place to relocate.

Dongxuan Academy was not an insignificant force.

With two Soul Formation stage cultivators leading the team, they stood out significantly.

They had already attracted attention.

Retreating now would suggest they feared the Evil Moon Sect, which would damage Dongxuan Academy’s reputation.

“Those people are from Dongxuan Academy, the top holy land in Huangzhou!”

“I wondered who dared to stand so close to the Bloodhand Asura and others. If it’s Dongxuan Academy, then they indeed have the qualifications.

I heard they have dispatched two Soul Formation stage cultivators this time!

They are among the most powerful forces gathered in Dan Holy City.”

“If Evil Moon Sect wants to compare with Dongxuan Academy, they would have to bring their main sect.

To be honest, Linjiang Branch is still a bit lacking.”

“However, their choice of position probably indicates they know the Dantai clan’s heir is at Linjiang Branch.

That means our competitive pressure will increase significantly.”

As the presence of Dongxuan Academy was recognized, discussions among the surrounding cultivators resumed.

Their purpose was speculated upon.

Everyone admired this well-known force.

However, they did not realize that Dongxuan Academy had already suffered setbacks here at the hand of Evil Moon Sect.

At this moment, Han Ning and the other cultivator took the initiative to clasp their hands in greeting towards Shen Yifeng.

They seemed to express some form of goodwill, showing that Dongxuan Academy held no enmity towards the Evil Moon Sect.

Shen Yifeng nodded silently, showing no intention of engaging in further conversation.

After all, he had previously stated that he would personally seek an explanation from Dongxuan Academy after this matter.

The atmosphere grew increasingly awkward.

About half an hour later, on a rooftop in the distance, the short and stout Ouyang Mingyue suddenly took flight on his flying artifact.

Standing high in the sky, Ouyang Mingyue looked down at the crowd and said with a smile, “I am Ouyang Mingyue.

Let’s cut to the chase. We are all gathered here with the same goal: to explore the ruins of the Dantai clan.

The gray mist before us is a chaotic energy barrier guarding the Dantai ruins. Its weakening speed has been slowing down progressively.

I estimate it’s nearing its lowest point.

Whether it will rebound and become stronger after reaching the lowest point is anyone’s guess.

Therefore, I, representing the Alchemist Association, boldly propose that all Nascent Soul stage and above cultivators work together to find a breakthrough point and dispel this chaotic energy completely.

What do you all think?”

As Ouyang Mingyue spoke, he maintained his cheerful demeanor.

The Alchemist Association, like the Treasure Gathering Pavilion in many ways, was in a neutral position.

However, when it comes to something like the Dantai clan’s ruins, a former sacred place of alchemy, they naturally want to take the lead.

With the Alchemist Association’s reputation, they indeed have the right to lead.

After all, Ouyang Mingyue, with his late-stage Nascent Soul cultivation, combat power nearing the Soul Formation stage, and his status as a top-tier fifth-grade alchemist, was among the most elite present.

“The Flowing Wind Sword Sect has no objections.”

“The Lingxiu Pavilion has no objections.”

“Spirit Sound Valley has no objections!”

As soon as Ouyang Mingyue finished speaking, several top-tier factions quickly voiced their support.

Most of the first to respond were the top factions from Yunmeng City.

Spirit Sound Valley and others had previously worked with the Alchemist Association during the Alchemist Conference, so there was a natural rapport.

Seeing this, the factions from the Holy City system looked at each other for a moment before also expressing their support.

In fact, it didn’t matter much who they followed.

“The Bai Family has no objections!”

“Tian Sha Sect has no objections!”

Tuoba Junlin’s expression darkened.

Originally, the Treasure Gathering Pavilion also had the qualifications to take the lead in this matter.

Moreover, he had intended to use this opportunity to raise the profile of the Holy City Treasure Gathering Pavilion.

However, with the Alchemist Association taking the lead first, he felt somewhat resigned.

Since the stakes were not very high, he could only declare loudly, “The Holy City Treasure Gathering Pavilion has no objections!”

In just a few moments, all the top-tier factions present had expressed their stance.

No one had any objections to Ouyang Mingyue’s leadership.

At this moment, a Soul Formation stage aura suddenly surged within Dan Holy City.

The oppressive force of the Soul Formation stage directed itself straight at Su Jingzhen and his group of four.

“I am Zhou Tong!”

Before you enter the ruins today, I may have to delay you for some time.

Before opening this barrier, my Zhou family must first settle some old scores with Evil Moon Sect’s Linjiang Branch!”

A tall, white-haired figure appeared before everyone’s eyes, his voice resonating with an air of age and authority.

This person’s aura was clearly at the mid-stage of the Soul Formation realm.

Behind him were four or five Nascent Soul stage cultivators, all exuding a murderous intent.

Their gazes toward Su Jingzhen and Shen Yifeng were filled with a hatred so deep it seemed they wished to devour their flesh and drink their blood.

“See, this is the trouble with the cultivation world. After dealing with the younger generation, the older generation will come around.”

At this moment, Shen Yifeng’s gaze suddenly shifted to Su Jingzhen.

Before Su Jingzhen could speak, he continued, “In the future, when you traverse the cultivation world, no matter where you go, unless you have the strength to exterminate an entire family, you must handle your tracks meticulously when killing.

And try to avoid doing it in front of a large audience.

I haven’t taught you many lessons, but this is the first one.”

As Shen Yifeng spoke, his tone was notably serious.

Su Jingzhen was momentarily stunned. From Shen Yifeng’s words, it seemed he was not overly concerned about the Zhou family’s threat.

Indeed, after killing Zhou Xian and his companions last night, Su Jingzhen had anticipated that the Zhou family would seek revenge.

He just hadn’t expected it to happen at this particular moment.

When the Zhou family appeared, Su Jingzhen’s mood grew heavy.

The Zhou family had chosen their timing well.

Under the watchful eyes of all the top forces in Qingzhou and the surrounding regions, they had specifically named the Evil Moon Sect’s Linjiang Branch.

Many top-tier factions were aware of the competitive relationship between the Linjiang Branch and the Longyan branch.

They were also familiar with the Evil Moon Sect’s traditions.

By naming the Linjiang Branch, Zhou Tong effectively prevented the main sect from intervening.

Since the day Zou Zeyu and Luo Yuebai’s duel began, Evil Moon Sect’s main sect had stated they would not provide additional support.

Moreover, at this moment, everyone’s attention was still fixed on Xuening.

The Zhou family’s challenge against Evil Moon Sect’s Linjiang Branch was something all the other top forces were eager to see.

Thus, even if Evil Moon Sect’s main sect wanted to step in, it wouldn’t be so straightforward.

Before Su Jingzhen could ask further, Shen Yifeng stepped forward.

“Old Zhou Tong, instead of enjoying your twilight years in the Zhou family, you come here to stir trouble?”

As Shen Yifeng spoke, he already had his killing sword in hand.

His arrogance was palpable, almost imperious.

“Shen Yifeng, others might fear the name Bloodhand Asura, but I do not!

And my Zhou family members are not so easy to kill!

Today, under the witness of all the friends in Dan Holy City, my Zhou family challenges your Evil Moon Sect’s Linjiang Branch to a battle!

A fight to the death, Shen Yifeng, do you dare?”

This was the most straightforward provocation, or perhaps a brazen strategy.

Zhou Tong knew that a proud and confident person like Shen Yifeng could not possibly refuse.

Furthermore, if the Linjiang` Branch did not dare to fight in front of everyone, it would be a significant blow to their prestige.

Thus, while the Zhou family appeared to be blinded by hatred, they were actually quite cunning.

A cold smile reappeared on Shen Yifeng’s face. “A fight to the death, how will it be fought?”

Zhou Tong’s murderous intent intensified.

His gaze swept over Su Jingzhen and Shen Yifeng once more, then he continued, “It’s simple. Today, all Zhou family members who have arrived in Dan Holy City will engage in a chaotic battle with all members of your Evil Moon Sect’s Linjiang Branch present here.

To the death!

So that today either my Holy City Zhou family or your Evil Moon Sect’s Linjiang Branch will survive!”
