Legend of Swordsman

The Nalan family's residence was raided because they had touched a forbidden scale, venturing into the sealed Wanzang Forest and openly trafficking quotas.

Wasn't this practically inviting disaster from the Qishen Temple?

Such audacity, so reckless, their deaths were hardly regrettable.

It was the same during the incident in the Heavenly Realm!

A peak-level expert, rampaging wantonly, plundering the inheritance of a Dao Lord Inheritor—it was a death wish.

Though they were tier 6 Emperors, facing a tier 5 Inheritor, their strengths were comparable.

Even if they killed their target, the Qishen Temple wouldn't be foolish enough to seek revenge; it could only mean the Inheritor lacked the strength to fend for themselves.

If they continued to protect without allowing any danger, how could they achieve anything significant in the future?

Tianchan's words served as a wake-up call to the Gui Ling Island Lord, who later grasped the underlying rationale.

As long as they didn't go too far, the Qishen Temple probably wouldn't take action against them.

After reaching an agreement, they began dispatching people to search for Gong Miaoyi.

They even offered a sky-high reward.

Just reporting Gong Miaoyi's location would earn a hundred billion godstones.

Capturing her could grant the protection of several tier 6 Emperors, countless treasures, and more.

This news drove the experts from the Outer Sea and the Western Coast mad.

Especially upon learning that Gong Miaoyi only possessed the peak strength of tier 4, all tier 5 Emperors mobilized, and even groups of tier 4 Emperors joined the search for Gong Miaoyi.

This event caused a sensation that lasted for a century.

The entire outer sea was boiling, and instead of capturing sea monsters, everyone was dreaming of getting rich.

Zheng Wuyang and the others, upon learning about it, were furious and cursed loudly.

Fortunately, Zhen Ling also provided assistance, and even the Emperors of the Grave God Mountain could go.

However, secretly, they informed the Elders Palace.

As for the people from the Qishen Temple, strict orders were given not to get involved.

They even instructed the temple members to inform all the peak-level experts. Anyone who intervened in this matter would face death.

Bai Yi was almost driven to madness. In the past, whenever there were any relics, they would get the best part, while others got the leftovers.

Now, not only did they not get the best parts, but they also didn't get any leftovers. How could he lead his people like this?

He had to go threatening those peak-level experts himself.

After offending people, he didn't gain any benefits.

Upon receiving the news, the Elders Palace directly ordered Wu Zuo from the Law Enforcement Hall to lead a team.

Wu Zuo was responsible for overseeing the situation, while the others were to compete for the treasures. The main goal was to establish influence in the Earth Realm.

This time, there was a legitimate reason to make a move.

For a while, the entire Western Sea was in chaos as numerous experts rushed in.

In the Chaos Region

The Ancestor of Great Xia also took action.

The old man with goat horns didn't bring anyone along; bringing someone would expose weaknesses.

He learned about this news inside the Elders Palace.

Wu Zuo and his team quietly entered the Chaos Region.

Jian Wushuang and others, who were still in seclusion in the Black Demon Sea, were completely unaware of these developments. They were still immersed in their cultivation.

Billions of miles away from this desolate island.

A team of powerful individuals led by a tier 5 Emperor navigated the underwater depths.

In the group, a tier 4 peak-level Emperor suggested, "Senior Mo, there's an unnamed small island ahead. Why not take a look there?"

These people were hastily assembled.

Now, a tier 5 Emperor could easily recruit over a dozen tier 4 peak Emperors. After all, although the target they were searching for was a peak-level tier 4, anyone sought after by so many powerhouses couldn't be an ordinary individual.

A common tier 4 peak-level Emperor probably wouldn't stand a chance. There had to be a tier 5 Emperor leading the way for assurance.

Even if they were defeated, at least they could survive and potentially profit by selling information.

A hundred billion godstones!

If they could seize this opportunity, each person would gain a hundred billion. Add to that the promises of several tier 6 Emperors, and they could dominate the entire Western Sea in the future.

"Hmph, are you silly or something? Do you think everyone else is a fool, hiding in such an obvious place on the island?" Laughter erupted when this statement was made.

The leading tier 5 Emperor interrupted, "Enough, we're here to find someone, not to play. However, since we've encountered it, let's take a look personally. We can't miss any opportunity!"

"Affirmative!"

"Senior Mo, indeed, your attention to detail is as fine as silk!"

The first to voice an opinion, a peak-level tier 4 expert, sneered inwardly. This was the advantage of formidable strength.

Their words conveyed a similar meaning, but the responses they received were worlds apart.

If he were tier 5 Emperor, oh, the difference!

Plop!

Naturally, he insisted on personally inspecting the situation. As he burst out of the water, many people mocked him.

He didn't mind that.

What if the target was indeed on that island?

Then, he would have achieved a great merit.

As he emerged from the water, before the seawater could even fall off him, a powerful aura erupted. It instantly evaporated the seawater, and then, with a burst of crackling sounds, a figure, accompanied by the sound of bursting energy, shot towards the desolate island.

"Is there someone?"

Bai Junwang was momentarily stunned, then stood up.

He had long ceased his cultivation; enhancing both his physical body and divine body required treasures, and he had exhausted the countless godstones, each worth billions.

His divine body, currently barely breaking through 30,000-fold its original strength, had been further boosted to 50,000-fold through the Heavenly Demon technique given by Jian Wushuang.

It could now rival the power of a tier 6 Emperor.

Coupled with the Origin Source, Bai Junwang could now go toe-to-toe with a tier 6 Emperor.

He had been biding his time, holding back his full power since obtaining the Origin Source.

However, he was ambushed and forced to flee, thanks to Jian Wushuang's desperate efforts.

Now, with his strength restored to that of a tier 6 Emperor, he was determined to seek revenge on Kun Tai. He planned to deal with him personally.

Encountering someone new, Bai Junwang's lips curled into an expectant smile.

"A tier 4 Emperor!" Bai Junwang shook his head. As he approached, he found a young man who happened to be quite ugly. Unable to suppress a sigh, Bai Junwang expressed his disappointment.

The newcomer, initially surprised, later showed delight.

He was genuinely happy to encounter another living being. Having spent years in the Black Demon Sea, this was the first time they had come across a cultivator.

The young man first felt joy, then some surprise, and finally furrowed his brows in slight worry. He couldn't discern the other's strength, fearing that he might be a hidden expert in this area.

As for whether it was Gong Miaoyi and the others, he had no idea because he couldn't even see the other person's face clearly.

Bai Junwang, on the other hand, was growing impatient. Stared at by an ugly fellow, he felt uncomfortable deep inside. Angrily, he said, "Kid, what are you looking at? Hurry up and get lost, or..."

As he spoke, Bai Junwang revealed his appearance.

Seeing him, the young man's pupils suddenly shrank, and he took in a sharp breath.

"You..."

He was so excited that he momentarily forgot about the rumors. Realizing this, he quickly transmitted the information to Senior Mo, then forcibly calmed down.

Bai Junwang sneered, thinking the other had been frightened. However, he was stunned when he noticed more people approaching from behind.

Inside the Time Pavilion, Jian Wushuang also opened his eyes, sensing a powerful aura drawing near, feeling a bit uneasy.

The Ultimate Dao had reached the peak of the seventh level. He had a premonition that adding one more word to 'Suppression' would allow him to break through, but for some reason, he couldn't decide on the right word.
