This is a cultivation game, but its operation is terrible.

Jiang Liu's face darkened slightly, and then he clicked on the maps of several other states.

This area is the landing zone for players from Zone 2 and is not open to the public at this time.

This area is the landing zone for players from Zone 3 and is not open to the public at this time.

This area is a public area of ​​the open world and is only open to players at the Nascent Soul stage or above.

"Huh? Public area?"

He paused for a moment, his gaze settling on the central Divine Continent.

Public areas mean... that players from all servers can enter?

Does that mean that in the Zhong Shenzhou map, the private restrictions of the open world have been ignored, and it's possible to meet other players?

A single-player open-world exploration game instantly transforms into an RPG online game.

You really know how to stitch things together, Cultivation Era. I'm impressed that you can connect all of these together.

"Only those at the Nascent Soul stage or above can enter. It seems there are many powerful figures in the Central Divine Continent."

Jiang Liu sighed inwardly. He didn't even need to think to know that Zhong Shenzhou was a region where Nascent Soul cultivators were as insignificant as dogs and Spirit Distraction cultivators were everywhere. Isn't that how it's always written in novels?

A Nascent Soul cultivator is inferior to a dog?

Once I reach the Nascent Soul stage, I'll storm into the Central Divine Continent and see if I'll become a dog or a meat-eater!

He made a decision in his heart.

After clicking through all the other states one by one, he finally opened the Crimson Flame Divine State.

A panoramic map of the Crimson Continent appears.

The first thing he saw on the map was the magnificent city in the very center.

【Crimson Flame Immortal City—The headquarters of the Crimson Flame Branch of the Taiyi Immortal Alliance】

A city occupying the very center of the Crimson Flame Divine Continent, clearly visible even on a map, which is enough to show how large this city is.

He stared at the Crimson Flame Immortal City in the middle of the map for two seconds, then looked away at the bright area in the lower right corner of the map, which was the area he had created.

The size of Crimson Flame Immortal City on the map is larger than the Lingyun Sect, Divine Might Sect, White Dew City, and the wilderness area he has now established!

Holy crap, what a huge city!

The Tai Chu Sect's headquarters, which was only ten square miles in size, was worlds apart from the branch headquarters of the Taiyi Immortal Alliance; it was like comparing a small witch to a big witch.

I want it, I want it so much...

He wants to change his post...

Planning: Is this city for sale?

Jiang Liu's gaze lingered on Crimson Flame Immortal City for several seconds until the covetous look in his eyes disappeared before he looked at other areas on the map.

Around Crimson Flame Immortal City, there are several other prominent regional maps, namely Kaiyang Sect, Divine Pill Sect, Extreme Spirit City, Thunder Cloud City, and so on.

Besides the large sects and cities surrounding Crimson Flame Immortal City, there are nearly a hundred other regional maps of varying sizes on the map, densely covering the entire Crimson Flame Divine Continent.

There are quite a few maps, but I don't know if all of them can be destroyed...

These area maps, judging from their names, are all dominated by righteous forces. I wonder if they allow farming there.

Shouldn't you let them swipe it?

After all, Lingyun Sect and Shenwei Sect are also righteous sects, yet they still take down the sects without hesitation.

"We'll find out when the time comes; I don't want to dig three feet into the ground to find the demonic forces."

He muttered to himself, pausing for a few more seconds on the Crimson Flame Immortal City on the map before reluctantly closing the Crimson Flame Divine Continent map.

Crimson Flame Immortal City is too far away from him; he should take care of important matters first.

"First, I'll go back to the sect to build the Bloodbone Throne and the sect's protective formation, then I'll go to White Peak City to turn in the quest..."

Jiang Liu thought for a moment, then opened the mini-map and clicked on the teleportation point.

next second.

He then appeared at the sect's headquarters.

Upon returning to his sect's headquarters, he was searching for the best location to establish the Blood Bone Throne when he saw Zhang Shuyun rushing towards him.

"Junior Brother Jiang! Sect Master, you've finally shown up!"

Zhang Shuyun ran over anxiously, her expression showing a hint of panic, and said, "Something terrible has happened! More than fifty of our sect members have been detained by NPCs!"

Jiang Liu: "??????"

"what?"

Jiang Liu was taken aback, his brows furrowed slightly, and he asked with a grim expression, "What's going on?"

I only spent a few days farming Ghost Face Demon Palace, how come such a big thing happened in the sect in the blink of an eye?

My entire clan only has a little over two hundred people. Which NPC is so ruthless as to take away a quarter of my people at once?

You owe me money, right?

Chapter 165: If I give you face, you're an NPC; if I don't, you're a red-named monster (10,000 words daily, please subscribe!)

"You do not know?"

Hearing Jiang Liu's question, Zhang Shuyun couldn't help but find it hard to believe: "It's been more than ten days, haven't you seen the news?"

When he saw Jiang Liu suddenly return, he thought Jiang Liu had taken some time to come back to deal with this matter. He was about to give a detailed report, but he never expected that Jiang Liu was completely unaware of it!

Junior, this is your sect! Please, pay attention!

"Uh, more than ten days already?"

Jiang Liu felt a little embarrassed. At that time, he was busy spending money on in-game purchases, grinding monsters, drawing cards, and refining pills in an endless cycle, and he really hadn't paid attention to anything else.

"Ahem, didn't you see the system announcement? I'm busy with pioneering work, I don't have time to worry about anything else."

Jiang Liu coughed twice, forced an explanation, and then asked, "What exactly happened?"

"Didn't the sect leader acquire a spirit mine before?"

Zhang Shuyun replied, "At that time, Lao Qian also discovered a spirit mine in his Great World, so he gathered more than fifty sect members to attack that spirit mine."

"Then it was seized by the sect that owns the spirit mine and has not been released to this day."

Jiang Liu: "......."

He vaguely remembered seeing Qian Zhenghao say in the sect channel that he wanted to attack the spirit mine. He thought he was just saying it casually, but who would have thought that he would actually do it!

You dare to forcibly seize the property of NPCs? Who gave you the courage?

"That spirit mine is also a spirit mine in Bailu City, right?"

Jiang Liu frowned slightly and said to Zhang Shuyun, "Didn't they mention my name when they were detained?"

Zhang Shuyun: "??????"

Zhang Shuyun was speechless, unsure how to respond. She asked blankly, "Would mentioning your name work?"

"Of course it works!"

Jiang Liu said irritably, "Our sect has joined the Taiyi Immortal Alliance. As a member of the Immortal Alliance, I naturally have some influence among the NPCs."

If they haven't joined the Taiyi Immortal Alliance, then there's nothing more to say; let's just start a war.

But now that he has joined the Taiyi Immortal Alliance and has a behemoth backing him, which of these small sects around Bailu City would dare to disrespect him?

"Qian Zhenghao, right? I'll contact him right away. Honestly, he's always causing me trouble."

Jiang Liu opened his friends list and was shocked by what he saw.

All of them were missed messages; two-thirds of his friends had messaged him.

[Li Dongze: Qian Zhenghao, that idiot, screwed me over! Brother Liu, save me quick!]

[Li Dongze: Where is he? Where is my godfather? I've been mining for half a month, I'm going to die if he doesn't save me soon!]

[Yi Luoluo: Waaaaah, help me! Help me!]

[Yi Luoluo: Mining, mining, mining, this grandma's going to explode!]

[Li Nankun: Ahem, come back quickly if anything happens.]

Su Weiyang: ......

[Zheng Weiguo: Xiao Liu, it's undignified for a school principal like me to be working in a mine. Come pick me up right now.]

[Qian Zhenghao: Boss, can I do you a favor?]

Jiang Liu: "......"

Holy crap!

He was so angry that he laughed when he saw a bunch of SOS messages in his friends list, and veins popped out on his temples.

Qian Zhenghao has wiped out all the pillars of our sect!

Li Dongze and Su Weiyang are one thing, but Yi Luoluo, why are you joining in? Are you short of spirit stones?

Even the former headmaster got involved; he's still got it!

I'm impressed. Is the allure of a spirit mine really that great?

Jiang Liu, with a dark expression, opened Qian Zhenghao's chat box and sent a message.

[Jiang Liu: Are you still alive? Answer me.]

[Qian Zhenghao: Boss, I was wrong! I'll never go against you again. Please come pick me up, I really can't take it anymore!]

[Jiang Liu: Enough with the nonsense. Go tell them you're a member of the Taichu Sect under the Taiyi Immortal Alliance, and tell them to release the person immediately!]

Qian Zhenghao: ...Will this work?

[Jiang Liu: If that won't work, then you can keep mining.]

Qian Zhenghao: I'm going right now!

After about ten seconds, Qian Zhenghao replied.
