Qinghe Immortal Clan.

Thousands of miles northwest of "Red Cloud Mountain", in an underground cave.

Song Xuanfeng, who was meditating with his eyes closed, suddenly sensed a slight fluctuation coming from the restriction in front of him and immediately opened his eyes.

Before he could get a clear picture of the situation, a streak of azure light appeared out of thin air in front of Song Xuanfeng.

Upon seeing the person who had arrived, Song Xuanfeng's expression softened slightly, and he quickly stepped forward and bowed.

"Third Grand Uncle!"

"Xuanfeng, how have things been lately? I've already designated this area as a no-go zone for mining, so no one should be bothering us now, right?"

When Song Xuanfeng returned to the "Floating Cloud Mountain Range" back then, because he switched to cultivating demonic techniques and couldn't show himself in front of people, Song Qingming settled him here.

Originally, this area was the territory of the demon race, and very few human cultivators would approach this place.

However, after the "monster turmoil" more than a decade ago, Crimson Cloud Mountain expanded northward by thousands of miles, and the area where Song Xuanfeng is located has now become part of the control of human cultivators.

In recent years, Song Xuanfeng has discovered that many human cultivators' demon-hunting teams have come to the vicinity, and some have even accidentally stumbled into the array restrictions that Song Qingming had set up.

Although these low-level cultivators failed to break through these restrictions and discover Song Xuanfeng's location.

But as time went on, Song Xuanfeng also became somewhat annoyed and could only secretly send a message to Song Qingming, who was far away in "Red Cloud Mountain," for help.

It wasn't until Song Qingming issued an order to turn the area within a hundred miles of this mountain into a mineral vein and to prohibit nearby cultivators from approaching that Song Xuanfeng's area finally became quiet.

"Thank you for your help, Third Uncle. No one has come to this area in the last few months. Did you come here to see Xuanfeng because you have other matters to instruct him on?"

“You told me last time that you wanted to find a battlefield to break through your cultivation level by using the Yin energy, and I’ve thought of a good place.”

"Oh! I wonder where Third Uncle is referring to?"

Upon hearing what Song Qingming said, Song Xuanfeng's expression immediately showed surprise, and he asked another question.

".."

In the "East Sea Immortal Cultivation Realm," in a grand hall in the southern sea region.

The Grand Elder of the Yunyang Sect, True Person Yuyang, sat at the head of the table, with six Nascent Soul cultivators standing on either side below. All of them had a solemn look in their eyes.

"Elder, did you summon us back for this meeting to support the Golden Dragon Island matter?"

The speaker was Jin Xuanyao, the third elder of the Yunyang Sect, a Nascent Soul cultivator at the fourth level, who had been a veteran Nascent Soul cultivator for nearly five hundred years.

Thirty years ago, after the Yunyang Sect and the Hundred Flowers Palace broke off relations, the two sides rallied together various sects and waged a war for decades, causing chaos throughout the cultivation world of the East Sea.

The Yunyang Sect, which was originally evenly matched with its opponent, was caught off guard by the reinforcements secretly invited by the Hundred Flowers Palace a few years ago.

After a fierce battle, the Yunyang Sect suffered a crushing defeat, with tens of thousands of cultivators killed or wounded, and even one Nascent Soul cultivator perished.

Now, facing the relentless pressure from the "Hundred Flowers Palace" allied forces, the Yunyang Sect, which has already fallen into a disadvantageous position, is gradually forced into a passive defensive posture, and the situation is becoming increasingly unfavorable for them.

Upon hearing Jin Xuanyao's question, Master Yuyang nodded slightly and said, "Junior Brother Jin is right. Since the battle of Jinsha Sea, we have lost a lot of territory over the years."

Now Golden Dragon Island is in grave danger. If we cannot hold it, the army of Hundred Flowers Palace will likely march south, and then it will be difficult for us to concentrate our forces to fight against them.

Now, our only chance to end this war is to fight to the death.

As soon as Master Yuyang finished speaking, an elderly man with white hair standing on the other side immediately cupped his hands and said:
“Fellow Daoist Yuyang, the protective formation on Golden Dragon Island is only a low-grade fourth-level formation. I’m afraid it will be difficult to withstand the army of Hundred Flowers Palace. Wouldn’t it be too disadvantageous to fight them there?”

"If a battle breaks out and the main formation cannot be held, our main force will likely have difficulty evacuating in time."

This white-haired old man was not a cultivator from the "Yunyang Sect," but rather one of the Nascent Soul forces allied with them.

Murong Xuan, the Nascent Soul Ancestor of the Seven Luminaries Sect.

The founder of the Seven Luminaries Sect was a guest elder of the Yunyang Sect before he reached the Nascent Soul stage. The two sects have always had a good relationship and have been allies for many years.

Seeing the worry on Murong Xuan's face, "Master Yuyang" gave him a meaningful look before waving his hand at him.

“Golden Dragon Island is our last line of defense in the north. If we lose it, Hundred Flowers Palace will be able to attack or defend at will, and can divide our allied forces into several pieces at any time.”

I've decided I can't back down anymore; I'll settle this with them on Golden Dragon Island.

Fellow Daoists, rest assured. The reason I chose Golden Dragon Island for the final battle is not without reason, but it is not convenient to tell you all at the moment.

"As long as we unite and defeat the Hundred Flowers Palace coalition, we will then pacify the northern seas. I will absolutely keep my promise to you."

"Oh! So Fellow Daoist Yuyang already has a plan to defeat the enemy, then we will naturally follow."

Seeing that "True Man Yuyang" suddenly showed a confident expression, the Nascent Soul cultivators standing below, though puzzled, did not ask any further questions and nodded in response.

".."

Half a month later, in the northern sky above "Golden Dragon Island".

Xia Mo, dressed in white, stood in front of the flying boat, gazing at the golden island below that was now completely surrounded.

A moment later, a purple beam of light suddenly flew from afar and landed on the flying boat. Soon, a young woman dressed in purple emerged from the beam of light.

"Senior Sister Xia, we have spotted the Yunyang Sect's treasure ships approaching from two thousand miles to the south. There are at least a dozen large treasure ships, and it seems they have come out in full force."

Upon hearing the news brought by the woman in purple, Xia Mo nodded calmly and then spoke:

"Okay! Send the order to Senior Sister Shen, telling them to continue their attack on the formation. The rest of you, stand by."

".."

Inside the "Golden Dragon Island" formation, two Nascent Soul cultivators stared solemnly at the various magical lights constantly attacking from outside the protective barrier.

"Fellow Daoist Qin, where are Fellow Daoist Yu Yang and the others? How long will it take for reinforcements to arrive?"

"Brother Mu Yuan, don't worry. The Grand Elder and the others sent me a message a few days ago that reinforcements have already been prepared. They definitely won't be able to take Golden Dragon Island."

The speaker was a thin, elderly man with a somewhat weathered face, dressed in a white Tai Chi robe.

Just as the two were talking, a tremendous tremor suddenly came from the location of the "mountain protection formation" in front of them, and the entire island trembled.

Upon being struck by this sudden and powerful attack, the man surnamed Qin frowned and shouted, "Not good! This is a level four spirit light cannon! They're probably going to go all out!"

Fellow Daoist Mu Yuan, quickly activate the backup formation and prepare all cultivators to leave the city for battle at any time!

"Fellow Daoist Qin, I'm afraid this backup formation won't be able to hold out for much longer. Please try to find a way to ask the Grand Elder for help as soon as possible."

Otherwise, once the great formation is breached, we will find it extremely difficult to fight against them.

After reminding the other party, the thin-faced old man quickly cast a spell to take out an array plate and throw it into the air. Soon, a white and transparent array reappeared in the sky above the island.

With the support of the double-layered magic array, the island formation, which had been swaying slightly, instantly stabilized.

Meanwhile, the man surnamed Qin immediately took out a sound transmission talisman from his body, and then cast a spell to make it turn into a white light and disappear from his hand.

As time ticked by, the roaring sounds outside not only showed no signs of abating but grew increasingly intense, causing the two men surnamed Qin to begin to feel anxious.

After waiting for more than an hour, the silhouettes of treasure ships finally appeared on the distant sea, with the banners of sects such as "Yunyang Sect" hanging on them.

Upon seeing this, Qin Tiangu, Lü Muyuan, and the others in the formation all revealed a hint of surprise.

"Reinforcements have arrived!"

"Haha, the reinforcements have finally arrived."

Upon seeing the arrival of the enemy reinforcements, the treasure ships that were besieging "Golden Dragon Island" immediately stopped their attack and turned around to meet the reinforcements coming from the southwest. The two sides soon met hundreds of miles away.

A flash of light appeared on the treasure ship to the south, and several figures appeared in mid-air. The leader was none other than the Grand Elder of Yunyang Sect, True Man Yuyang.

Meanwhile, on the side of the "Hundred Flowers Palace", ten Nascent Soul cultivators, led by Xia Mo, also stepped forward to confront them.

"Fellow Daoist Yuyang, it's been a long time! It's been a long time!"

"Hmph! Fairy Xia, with such a complete team, it seems you are determined not to give up until you take Golden Dragon Island today."

As his gaze swept over the familiar figures before him, a hint of coldness flashed across "Master Yuyang's" face.

Upon hearing this, Xia Mo immediately replied, "Fellow Daoist is right. The Hundred Flowers Palace on Golden Dragon Island is determined to be taken today. Even if you come, you cannot stop me."

"Hehe, it's still too early for Fellow Daoist Xia to say such things!"

As soon as "Master Yuyang" finished speaking, two more figures suddenly appeared out of thin air beside him.

The two men, one dressed in black and the other in white, were both middle-aged Taoist priests. Upon closer inspection, people realized that their faces were almost identical, like twin brothers.

Upon seeing that both of them exuded the aura of the peak sixth level of the Nascent Soul stage, a middle-aged woman standing on the Hundred Flowers Palace side immediately recognized them and showed a hint of surprise on her face.

"The Black and White Duo, I never imagined that the Yunyang Sect could even manage to invite the two of you!"

"Hehe! It's rare that Fellow Daoist Yuyang has extended such a generous invitation. With such a grand occasion today, how could my brother and I not come and join in the fun?"

Upon realizing that someone had recognized him, the white-robed cultivator among the two men glanced at the battlefield and immediately responded.

The two brothers before us are known as the "Black and White Duo," a pair of Nascent Soul cultivators who have long been famous in the cultivation world of the East Sea. They cultivate an extremely powerful body-refining technique, and when they join forces, they are no weaker than ordinary late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators.

The "Black and White Duo" were originally twin brothers who came from a Golden Core sect in the cultivation world of the East Sea. Later, their sect was swallowed up by a Nascent Soul force that suddenly rose to prominence in the surrounding area.

At that time, the two brothers had only recently reached the Foundation Establishment stage. They were fortunate enough to escape with their lives thanks to the sect's patriarch's protection, but were forced to become rogue cultivators. Later, they somehow found an opportunity and, despite being rogue cultivators, managed to cultivate all the way to the Nascent Soul stage.

After successfully forming their Nascent Souls, the two brothers joined forces to return to their sect and take revenge, directly destroying the Nascent Soul sect that had originally swallowed them up.

The two men slaughtered tens of thousands of disciples from the sect, their brutality shocking the entire cultivation world of the East Sea.

From then on, the two brothers earned the fierce nickname "Black and White Duo," which made cultivators outside the sect turn pale at the mere mention of their names.

Later, many Nascent Soul sects in the East China Sea cultivation world disapproved of the two's actions and wanted to join forces to hunt them down.

However, the "Black and White Duo" brothers were so powerful that even mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators couldn't defeat them. The sects that were chasing them not only failed to surround the two, but also suffered many disciples being killed in sneak attacks.

Finally, having no other choice, they had to give up and dared not cause them any more trouble.

Although the "Black and White Duo" had a very bad reputation outside, they were loners and were not tolerated by the major sects in the East China Sea cultivation world.

However, their cultivation and strength have improved rapidly over the years, and they have all reached the peak of the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

When the two brothers joined forces, they were so powerful that even a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator could not defeat them.

Upon seeing the infamous Black and White Brothers suddenly appear, the faces of everyone in the "Hundred Flowers Palace" changed slightly. They hadn't expected that the Yunyang Sect could actually get these two fierce stars to come.

Originally, the "Hundred Flowers Palace" had ten Nascent Soul cultivators, while the "Yunyang Sect" only had eight. Now, with the addition of the Black and White Brothers, the number of Nascent Soul cultivators on the other side has actually caught up with theirs.

Moreover, with the Black and White Brothers working together, their supernatural powers are equivalent to those of a Grand Master.

The opponent's overall strength has improved far beyond just having two more Nascent Soul cultivators; they have already surpassed the "Hundred Flowers Palace" side.

Seeing the surprised expressions on the faces of the other side, the Yunyang Sect naturally showed a hint of smugness.

After greeting the black and white brothers beside him, "Master Yuyang" looked with a smile at Xia Mo, who was still very calm not far away.

"Fellow Daoist Xia, I'm afraid that not only will you not get Golden Dragon Island today, but you will also have to vomit up everything you've eaten before."

"You've all arrived here, haven't you considered that the Jinsha Sea area behind us is now sparsely defended? If another surprise attack were to suddenly strike Jinsha Island at this time, would you still have a way to retreat?"

As they spoke, "True Man Yuyang's" smile deepened, and even the other Nascent Soul cultivators beside him showed a hint of surprise.

"I never expected that besides the two fellow Daoists, the Black and White Brothers, the Grand Elder would have such a hidden weapon. This time, we can be sure of our victory."

"Hahaha, I thought the Grand Elder was just comforting us, but it turns out there really are reinforcements."

".."

He thought that his words would be enough to make Xia Mo, who was standing opposite him, show some surprise and panic.

But to "Master Yuyang's" surprise, after hearing this news, Xia Mo in mid-air still looked at them calmly.

Just as "Master Yuyang" was filled with doubt and about to say something, Xia Mo, who had been silent for a moment, slowly spoke:

"The surprise attack that Fellow Daoist Yuyang mentioned, could it be the Heavenly Sea Alliance?"

"You, how do you know?"

Upon hearing this, "Master Yuyang" immediately changed his expression, looking at the other party with disbelief, and suddenly felt a bad premonition.

Xia Mo, standing opposite him, remained calm and indifferent.

"The conflict between Yunyang Sect and Baihua Palace, regardless of who wins or loses, is ultimately just an internal matter within the cultivation world of the East Sea."

"Your Excellency has gone so far as to involve the Heavenly Sea Alliance, which would break the rules. Don't you fellow Daoists understand that?"

"Hmph! The victor is king and the loser is villain. Rules are just things made by people."

Now that things have come to this point, if we still show such womanly compassion as you, I'm afraid we won't have a place to stand in the cultivation world of the East Sea.

"As long as I can defeat you, even if it comes at a price, my sect will not hesitate."

"No need for that. I've already dealt with the people from the Tianhai Alliance for you. They probably won't get anything this time."

Hearing Xia Mo's still calm reply, "Master Yuyang" couldn't help but laugh:
"Hahaha, the fellow Daoists of the Tianhai Alliance should have already arrived at Jinsha Island by now. Do you all think you can spare the time to go back today?"

"With my Heavenly Pill City here, how can we allow the people of the Heavenly Sea Alliance to run wild in the East Sea? Fellow Daoist Yu Yang, you have actually invited outsiders to interfere in the affairs of the East Sea. You are rather confused."

Just as "Master Yuyang" was feeling smug, a figure suddenly appeared in the distance of the battlefield.

Immediately afterward, a flash of light appeared, and an old man with white hair appeared and stopped in the middle of the battlefield. He was Xuan Tong Dao Ren, one of the three Supreme Elders of the "Heavenly Pill Alliance".

"Xuantongzi, didn't your Tiandan City say you wouldn't interfere in the affairs between our two sects? What are you doing here!"

"Fellow Daoist Yuyang, our alliance did indeed promise not to interfere in the war between your two sects, but the people of the Tianhai Alliance have entered the East Sea cultivation world without permission, and we have no choice but to deal with this."

The old Taoist priest has come today as requested to remind everyone that the people of the Tianhai Alliance have been defeated by us.

"Our alliance may refrain from interfering in your conflicts, but anyone who colludes with the Tianhai Alliance to plot against the cultivation world of the East Sea will be considered an enemy of my Tiandan City."

"You, Xuan Tongzi, you really were in cahoots with the Hundred Flowers Palace all along."

"Does your Tiandan City also intend to interfere in this battle today, hoping to get a share of the spoils?"

"Fellow Daoist Yuyang, you misunderstand. I have come alone today only to remind you all that Tiandan City will not interfere in your battle."

"Very well! Since your Tiandan City will not interfere, please leave the battlefield. Today, my Yunyang Sect and Baihua Palace will settle the score here."

Upon hearing that his prepared surprise attack had been repelled by "Tian Dan City," which had maintained neutrality, "Master Yu Yang" felt a great sense of regret.

However, as long as the army of "Tiandan City" does not intervene, they are still no weaker than their opponents on the main battlefield.

Seeing that Xia Mo did not say anything, Xuan Dao Dao Ren smiled slightly and his figure disappeared instantly, withdrawing from the battlefield.

Seeing that Master Xuantong had indeed left the battlefield, Master Yuyang and the others immediately relaxed and turned their attention back to the Hundred Flowers Palace.

"Fellow Daoists, we have no way out after today's battle, but as long as Tiandan City does not interfere, we still have the advantage here."

Please help hold off the others while my fellow Daoists Black and White deal with Xia Mo first.

"As long as we can kill this brat, Golden Dragon Island will not be our burial ground today. When we take Hundred Flowers Palace, our sect will definitely fulfill our promise to everyone."

"Rest assured, Elder, we will do our best!"

Upon hearing "Master Yuyang" transmit his voice, Jin Xuanyao and the others responded and took out their respective magical treasures to attack the other side.

Meanwhile, at the "Hundred Flowers Palace," Xia Mo and the others also activated their magical treasures and supernatural powers to fight the enemy.

The two Nascent Soul cultivators clashed instantly.

Seeing that the Nascent Soul Ancestors above had already started the battle, the treasure ships and flying boats of both sides on the sea also began to bombard their opponents, and countless Golden Core and Foundation Establishment cultivators flew into the air.

A life-or-death battle concerning the future of the "Eastern Sea Cultivation World" has begun.

High in the sky, the three brothers, "Jade Yang Master" and "Black and White Twins," had formed a triangle that surrounded Xia Mo.

Compared to Xia Mo, who had only broken through to the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm a few decades ago, "True Man Yu Yang" had already advanced to the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm for over three hundred years, and his cultivation had also reached the ninth level of the Nascent Soul realm.

After the two sects went to war, "Master Yuyang" and Xia Mo fought many times and had become very familiar with each other's supernatural abilities.

However, both of them were late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators. Although "True Man Yuyang" had a higher cultivation level, Xia Mo's metal-attribute cultivation technique and fighting abilities were more powerful than those of other cultivators of the same level.

The difference in their fighting strength was not significant. "Master Yuyang" could occasionally gain a slight advantage, but he couldn't do anything to Xia Mo.

But with the help of the "Black and White Duo" brothers, the two sides are now fighting against each other, making it a two-on-one situation.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Xia Mo is definitely no match for the three of them combined.

On other battlefields, the members of "Hundred Flowers Palace" were also held back by Jin Xuanyao and his group, and the two sides became entangled.

Although the Hundred Flowers Palace had one more Nascent Soul cultivator, the Yunyang Sect also had an unfamiliar Nascent Soul cultivator, who seemed to be the hidden avatar of the Jade Yang True Man.

The two sides are evenly matched in overall strength, and it will be difficult to determine a winner in a short period of time due to the entanglement.

Despite being surrounded by three opponents, Xia Mo showed no panic on her face. She skillfully manipulated the flower basket magic weapon in front of her with both hands, constantly resisting the three's attacks.

The "Black and White Duo" cultivated a body-strengthening technique. Faced with Xia Mo's petal attacks, the two brothers could easily withstand the attacks with their bare bodies and directly rushed to Xia Mo's side.

Faced with the two brothers' seemingly reckless close approach, Xia Mo was forced to retreat repeatedly, relying solely on her teleportation ability to evade their attacks.

After only a hundred or so rounds, he already showed signs of fatigue, and his spellcasting movements slowed down considerably.

"Haha, Fellow Daoist Yuyang, she's almost gone. If you don't use your trump card soon, don't blame us brothers if she gets away."

"Fellow Daoists, please help me hold her back. We must not let this woman escape today."

"Once you win her over, the Hundred Flowers Palace will be yours!"

Having said that, "Master Yuyang" turned cold, put away his magic weapon, and directly summoned a powerful golden talisman, casting a spell into it.

Just as "Master Yuyang" was concentrating on casting his spell, his divine sense suddenly sensed a dangerous aura coming from beside him.

Suddenly, a huge fist appeared beside him.

Before "Master Yuyang" could react, he screamed and was sent flying backward. (End of Chapter)
