The Demon King is back, leading adorable kids on an adventure around the world!

The guide unleashed a ball of white light that shot into the void, instantly transforming into a large flying ship. He shouted to Nian Nian and the others:

"Everyone, please board the ship. We still need to pick up the other geniuses from the Southeast Region. We can head to the Central Region only after all the participants have arrived."

Niannian and the others didn't stand on ceremony. They each boarded their own flying boats, led the messengers to the cockpit, started the ships, and disappeared in a streak of light.

Luo Tian watched as Nian Nian and the others' flying boat departed, his eyes becoming profound.

He knew very well how dangerous their trip to the Central Region would be.

Jin Wuming will definitely not let them get away with this. His pawns will be indispensable in the arena competition, and even those old fogies from various regions are his henchmen.

Who knows when they might launch a devastating attack on Nian Nian and the others?

"Fang Yuanshan, come see me!"

Luo Tian's voice echoed throughout the Fang family compound, even shaking the clouds in the sky.

A moment later, Fang Yuanshan, leaning on the wooden stick, walked over shakily.

"My lord, what can I do for you? Please give your instructions."

"I have reinforced the Fang family's formation again. I entrust you with the entire process of activating the formation. I have other matters to attend to, so I'll leave this to you. There shouldn't be any trouble in the near future."

After saying that, Luo Tian pointed his finger, and a golden light shot into Fang Yuanshan's brow. The latter paused for a moment, then bowed.

"Thank you, sir. When will you return?"

"I don't know when, and perhaps I won't be back. These jade slips contain some cultivation techniques passed down in the world of immortality. I'll give them to you as a way of repaying the kindness of your ancestor back then."

Luo Tian took out several jade slips and handed them to Fang Yuanshan. Then, his body soared into the sky and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Fang Yuanshan stood there, stunned for a long time, before letting out a long sigh.

He shook his head and swayed back into the house. With the cultivation techniques and formations given to them by Luo Tian, ​​the Fang family's crisis had disappeared.

On the other side, there were a few more people in the large flying boat. One of them was Chu Xuan, who had fought with Nian Nian before, and the other were several young powerhouses who had recently returned.

Chu Xuan's eyes would glance at Nian Nian intentionally or unintentionally, but each time he was glared back by Xiao Jin.

"Are these the people who won spots in the competition a while ago? They don't look that great!"

A genius with a sleazy appearance, a crooked mouth and slanted eyes, spoke up jokingly.

His expression made it seem as if he were the number one person in the world, as arrogant as could be.

Niannian didn't even lift her eyelids, completely ignoring her.

But Xiao Jin couldn't stand it. He glared at him, showing his big white teeth, and spoke in an icy tone.

"So, it's your Grandpa Dragon, what's wrong? Trying to cause trouble? Is being a mid-stage Mahayana cultivator so awesome?"

"You...you just wait, you'll see what happens on the stage! Remember, my name is Wang Qiang, don't die without even knowing your opponent's name."

Wang Qiang's face turned red from the retort. He uttered a harsh remark, then sat down and remained silent.

The other people in the group, not wanting to get involved, stayed out of it.

As the airship passed over the Sea of ​​Death, it began to shake.

Niannian saw the sea below, the water was black, and huge waves tens of meters high were churning up, with sea beasts and monsters swimming in it.

Suddenly, a deafening roar erupted, and an enormous head emerged from the sea.

The aura emanating from his body had actually reached the mid-stage of the Tribulation Transcending Realm.

Following it, several other sea beasts of the same level emerged from the water.

"Damn it, we've run into the most formidable horde of monsters in the Sea of ​​Death."

The guide's face turned ugly, and the other two people traveling with him were also sweating profusely.

"The swarm of Netherworld Sharks—each one possesses the strength of a Tribulation Transcending cultivator! This is a huge problem!"

The guide trembled slightly, his inner tension and fear written all over his face.

Wang Qiang, Chu Xuan, and the others looked grim. They had only just entered the Sea of ​​Death and had already encountered such a thing; they could only say they were extremely unlucky.

Meanwhile, Xiao Niannian acted as if nothing was wrong, completely disregarding the sea monsters below and continuing with her daily activities.

Wang Qiang looked at Xiao Niannian and the others and sneered coldly:

"Ignorance is bliss! A Mahayana early stage cultivator, a peak Integration stage cultivator, and two mid-Integration stage cultivators—a bunch of brats! Who gave you the courage?"

He could discern the cultivation levels of Xiao Niannian, Xiao Xiao, Qi Qi, and Luo Qianqian, but not Xiao Jin and Luo Nannan.

However, in his eyes, these two must have some kind of secret technique to hide their cultivation level, and their cultivation level was definitely not that high.

Little King Kong initially retorted a few times, but now that he realized this guy was just a master of empty talk, he lost interest.

He secretly channeled a wisp of dragon might, crushing it down upon the sea beasts in the area below.

Even a trace of dragon might from a peak Earth Immortal is something those sea beasts below cannot withstand.

The moment they came into contact with the dragon's might, the countless Netherworld Sharks roared and plunged into the seabed, never daring to surface again.

The giant waves of the Sea of ​​Death subsided, as if what had just happened had never occurred.

The guide was dumbfounded. What was going on? He just showed his face and then nothing happened?

Despite his doubts, he had no time to consider anything else. He took out several more top-grade spirit stones and stuffed them into the energy core. The flying boat then became a blur and sped forward.

Nothing else happened on the rest of the journey; the sea creatures that we used to see seemed to have vanished all today.

Only Xiao Nian and the others knew what had happened. With Xiao Jin, the Tyrannosaurus Rex of the sea, around, how could those sea beasts dare to come out and act recklessly?

After three days of flight, the airship finally carried everyone to the edge of the Central Region's sea area.

The guide breathed a sigh of relief and piloted the flying boat toward the location of the Central Region Grand Competition.

In less than half a day, the flying boat arrived at the edge of a large city.

He put away the flying boat and led everyone into the city.

The airspace above the city is a no-fly zone. Violating the rules will result in arrest. At best, one will be permanently disqualified from entering the city; at worst, one will be killed on the spot.

Xiao Niannian and her group followed the guide into the city.

This is a second-rate city, still some distance from the central region.

Even so, it's still much better than the main city in the southeast region, where the streets are lined with vendors hawking their wares.

The various sounds mingled together, deafening everyone. Anyone you randomly pulled over from the roadside was at least at the Fusion Stage.

Even the beggars in the corner have the cultivation level of the Void Refinement stage. As expected, big cities are different; cultivation resources are abundant, and even a pig can be turned into a powerful being.

Little Niannian's eyes never stopped moving as she walked, looking here and there, her heart brimming with curiosity.

If Xiaoxiao hadn't been holding me back, I don't know where I would have run off to again.

The guide led everyone to an inn and then left, telling them before he left that the competition would not officially begin for another three days.

During this time, they are free to move around, but they cannot violate the city's rules; otherwise, they will be disqualified from the competition if anything happens.

Xiao Niannian and the others all entered the inn and were led to their respective rooms by the inn's staff.

On the other side of the city, Luo Tian glanced at this place from afar, a meaningful smile appearing on his lips.

"Jin Wuming, your little bugs should be arriving soon, right? It would be best if they all came at once; I hate trouble..."
