I tried to kill the heroines of destiny, but they ended up chasing after me.

Perhaps the incoming arrow was too powerful, for even before it arrived, the shockwave immediately knocked Huang Quan unconscious, as if it was about to injure his body.

But just then, a domineering voice suddenly rang out from outside the barrier above.

"Hmph! You think you can kill me? How dare you!" As soon as these words were spoken, a person whose appearance and body were indistinct and whose aura was not felt slowly walked out from the sky.

And as this person appeared, a thick white light immediately emanated from his body.

Upon seeing the white light, Xiao Qing's expression immediately revealed unparalleled horror, and she even involuntarily took two steps back!

"You...you are?!" Xiao Qing murmured, staring at the person enveloped in white light, her face instantly turning pale, her eyes filled with disbelief!

At the same time, as that person was speaking, he caught a glimpse of Huang Quan with his eyes closed, and saw the rapidly approaching black arrow...

The man was startled and completely ignored Xiao Qing. With a single step, his body emitted a burst of white light, heading straight for the Yellow Springs.

"The plan has only just begun. You are not yet ready to die..." With that, the man extended his left hand and lightly touched the arrow. In an instant, the sword vanished without a trace!

Then, a powerful destructive force erupted from the mysterious man, and together with the previous white light, it swept across the world in the blink of an eye.

With a deafening roar, the heavens and earth shattered, and everything was destroyed. Only a black vortex suddenly appeared in front of the mysterious man!

Before long, the mysterious man stopped caring about anything else, grabbed Huang Quan, and immediately walked into the black hole vortex, disappearing without a trace.

Seeing this, Xiao Qing wanted to stop it, but couldn't. She could only frown and mutter to herself, "What's going on?!"

Thus, the ordeal of life and death came to an end.

……

on the other hand.

Above the narrow gorge of the sea.

Just as Huang Quan was taken away by the mysterious person and Xiao Qing disappeared, almost all the powerful figures, including Jue Yi, Zhu Xinlan, Dao San, and Wan Feng, appeared at this place.

However, they did not appear at the same time, but arrived one after another. Their powerful divine senses swept across the sky layer by layer, eventually locking onto a high place in the sky. However, there was no one in that high place, which made everyone fall silent.

"There's an aura of a barrier, which must be related to the Huang Clan. Otherwise, with our strength, we definitely wouldn't have failed to sense it!" Jue Yi glanced at Zhu Xinlan and the others, his brows furrowing slightly, before analyzing in a low voice.

“Knowing is one thing, but there’s nothing we can do about it, since we don’t really know their strength!” Zhu Xinlan said.

"Dao San, what do you think?" Yan Tian asked Dao San in a low voice.

Dao San pondered for a moment and replied, "This matter is already quite obvious, but I don't think he has perished. He wasn't that weak, and I believe everyone understands that!"

Perhaps in response to Dao San's words, the moment he finished speaking, a black vortex suddenly appeared above them, and then a figure abruptly descended from the sky from within the vortex!

At this moment, those whose cultivation had reached their level naturally sensed immediately who was descending, and their expressions all changed!

"Is it Huang Quan?!" Suddenly, Wan Feng, who hadn't spoken, was the first to move, clearly intending to stay at Huang Quan's place.

Of course, this doesn't mean he reacted the fastest, but rather that the others, upon discovering Huang Quan, focused their attention elsewhere, such as the slowly dissipating black vortex!

"What is that?" Jue Yi's eyes flickered slightly, and he asked Zhu Xinlan beside him with a hint of seriousness.

“It seems… to be a power that doesn’t belong to the True Profound Continent!” Zhu Xinlan replied.

Soon enough, the black vortex dissipated completely, and Wan Feng caught the heavily injured Huang Quan. Everything seemed to have calmed down!

Only the wind in this narrow strip of sky above the sea is blowing stronger and stronger!

……

The endless wasteland is located in the southern part.

This is a black desert.

There is a black city here.

Although there were people in the city, it still exuded an aura of death.

At this very moment, in the heart of the city, inside a dilapidated building that resembles a temple, five people stand.

Among the five people were Huang Mao, Xiao Qing, Huang Sheng who was wearing golden armor, and the couple who stood behind him the whole time.

"Did we fail?" Huang Sheng asked calmly.

“There was interference from strangers,” Xiao Qing replied.

"Have you found this person?" Huang Sheng asked.

"No, it's like it just appeared out of thin air," Huang Mao shook his head and said.

"There are actually such people. It seems that the three forces have now become four forces," Huang Sheng said, frowning.

"Four forces?" Huang Mao murmured.

Given the current situation on the True Profound Continent, the original three forces referred to the Heavenly Realm led by the Yellow Clan, the True Profound Alliance led by the Tree of Time, and Huang Sheng's senior brother and senior uncle. However, the appearance of the mysterious person has changed these three forces.

"Then what should I do?" Huang Mao asked.

"No problem! Although we haven't figured out that person's background, I don't think he has any intention of hindering us from taking over the True Profound Continent, so our plan remains unchanged," Huang Sheng said solemnly.

“But… what if this person is trying to be the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind?” Huang Mao asked worriedly.

"Hmph!" Huang Sheng sneered: "As long as this person is not a true supreme expert, then I don't need to be afraid of him. Besides, if he wants to be the one to suffer the consequences, the Tree of Time and my senior brothers and uncles probably won't agree to it."

Huang Mao remained silent and did not respond.

Although he knew Huang Sheng was right, he still had an inexplicable sense of unease. Perhaps he was being too sensitive, or perhaps it was for some other reason he didn't yet understand...

"But no matter what..." Huang Sheng paused for a moment before continuing, "We can't just let so many great generals be lost like this..."

"What does the clan leader mean?" Huang Mao's eyes lit up as he asked.

"Order the Second and Third Vanguard Teams of Tianfang Realm, led by Huang Xing and Huang Zhan, to attack the Wasteland immediately! Remember! This time, we must take over the Wasteland!" Huang Sheng said with a ruthless look on his face.

"Yes!" Huang Mao nodded.

……

A desolate wasteland.

Before the arrival of the True Profound Alliance, this place was still controlled by the four major powers of the east, west, south, and north. But after the arrival of the True Profound Alliance, this place underwent earth-shattering changes.

Simply put, they were conscripted by the True Mystery Alliance.

Therefore, the desolate region has now become an independent entity, and Wan Feng has naturally become the temporary domain lord of this place.

Although during this period, apart from Hua Ge in the North District who wisely chose to agree, so-and-so in the East District, so-and-so in the West District, and so-and-so in the South District all put up a fight, unfortunately, their fights were like shit waiting to be flushed down a toilet—completely futile.

After all, they were simply too weak.

What did Chapter 240 research?

Of course, Wan Feng and the other powerful figures wouldn't care about this small place, or rather, this small place didn't even deserve their attention. So as long as those guys didn't affect them, they wouldn't interfere with their affairs.

South District, Underground City.

It's still that river, still that meadow.

Qian Tu, dressed in a blue robe, and the diviner who had never revealed his true form, were conversing here as always.

“Although these people haven’t interfered with our affairs, there’s always a chance something unexpected might happen. Do you have any good ideas?” Qian Tu asked the diviner with a slight frown.

The strategist shook his head and replied, "Not yet, but you don't need to worry. No one would expect that there is an ancient ruin in this underground city. Moreover, I have almost found the entrance to the ruin over the years. In about a month, we will be able to enter it silently."

"Are you sure you can do it silently? You know, the outsiders in the Desolate Domain these days are all at least at the Transcendent Realm!" Qian Tu asked with some concern.

"The Transcendent Realm? Heh!" Suddenly, the strategist scoffed and said, "So what? You've seen it yourself, they're busy defending against external enemies right now, how could they have time to care about us? You don't need to worry about it anymore."

Qian Tu remained silent. He knew the divination was correct, but he still couldn't let it go.

Seemingly sensing Qian Tu's worry, the strategist thought for a moment and then said, "Don't worry! As long as you can get what's inside the ruins, even if they discover what's going on here, you'll still have the right to talk to them. So don't worry unnecessarily; it's not good for either of us."

But at that moment, Qian Tu shook his head and replied, "No, I'm not just worrying unnecessarily..."

"Hmm?" The strategist murmured in disbelief.

At this moment, Qian Tu's tone subtly changed. He looked at the deducer shifting between the intangible and the tangible, and said calmly, "Actually, I've always had a question, but perhaps because I myself am attracted by the things inside the ruins, and also want to obtain that thing that can change my destiny, I've never asked you..."

"Oh? So that's the question you want to ask now?" the strategist suddenly asked.

"No, it's not that. I know I'll see the answer someday, and I also know that even if I ask now, you won't tell me the real answer. So I just wanted to mention it, that's all," Qian Tu said calmly.

"Hehehe!" the strategist laughed again, "Then I hope you never know the answer."

“That’s not impossible, but… I have one condition.” As he said this, a murderous glint suddenly flashed in Qian Tu’s eyes.

"Speak!" the strategist said succinctly.

"Help my son avenge his family," Qian Tu said fiercely.

“No problem. As long as my plan succeeds, the person who killed your son will be my enemy,” the strategist said solemnly.

……

The Eastern District remains unchanged from ten years ago, still under the control of the Wumen Alliance, whose leader is still Wu Feiyang.

However, when Wan Feng and his group arrived, Wu Feiyang did something extremely foolish. He thought that Wan Feng and his group were helpers invited by the other three district forces to destroy Wumen and seize the East District. So no matter how Wan Feng and his group explained, he inexplicably showed a look of being willing to die rather than submit, which was ridiculous. That's why his resistance was the most intense.

Fortunately, this person was not stupid. After being severely taught a lesson by Wan Feng and others, he finally quieted down. However, his Wumen was completely ruined, and no one knew where he had gone.

From then on, around the headquarters of the Tianan Chamber of Commerce in the West District, there was always a slovenly young man circling around, telling stories that ordinary people couldn't understand. Maybe the young man was crazy, or maybe no one believed what he said, or maybe both!

One night, several hot-tempered cultivators, who had just lost everything at the casino, came to the young man, filled with resentment. Perhaps to vent their emotions, they beat him up.

The young man was no longer a cultivator, but just an ordinary mortal, so he could not withstand such a blow. Thus, he died in an alley where no one cared, and no one paid any attention to him.

Before his death, his brilliant life flashed before his eyes like a revolving lantern, scene after scene, until he entered the cycle of reincarnation in the True Profound Continent with him.

……

The situation in the West District was the best, except for the Flower Pavilion, because Xu Tian'an was a businessman. Unlike Wu Feiyang, he was not impulsive. As soon as Wan Feng and others arrived, he personally went out to greet them and even ordered his subordinates to prepare rooms and meals at an extremely fast pace. Therefore, he was well-versed in human relationships and was almost completely safe.

However, some members of this alliance were used to the pleasures of the outside world, so they often experienced some "culture shock" after arriving here. Therefore, in order to solve this problem and to prevent the West District from suffering the same fate as the East District, Xu Tian resolutely sent out many women from the Hundred Flowers Pavilion to appease those people.

Seeing this, Wan Feng and other senior executives did not stop them, but simply warned them not to go too far.

……

The North District Flower Pavilion was mentioned by Huang Quan before their arrival, so even Wan Feng and his group did not interfere with it at all, only stationing some people to guard the North Gate.

In summary, based on the current situation, the eastern region is the worst, followed by the southern region, then the western region is slightly better, and the northern region is the best.

Of course, Hua Feiying, who had been living in the Flower Pavilion for a long time, also knew that she was safe and sound because of Huang Quan. So whenever she thought of this, of their encounter in a small town, and of the past, she would feel a bit complicated.
