After noticing the abnormality, the three of them immediately moved forward. When they were about a hundred miles away, Xiao Chen suddenly stopped. At this moment, Shen Jing and Zi Yuan could also vaguely sense that there was an extremely heavy layer of restrictive power in front of them.

Twenty years ago, when Xiao Chen came here, he did not have such a restrictive force. It seemed that there had indeed been a lot of problems in Immortal North Ancient Realm during this period of time.

“Celestial Pogoda is in Immortal North Ancient Realm’s East Sky Peak City. It’s not too close to here. We need to hurry.” Hua Weiyang said as he looked at the vast mountain range in front of him.

“Yes.”

Xiao Chen nodded and did not hesitate. Celestial Pogoda was far away from Sky Peak City in the east. If the four of them went over now, it would take about two to three days.

Heavenly Peak City was named Heavenly Peak City because there were peaks that rose into the clouds. Furthermore, this city was one of the several large cities in the Immortal North Ancient Realm. From ancient times until now, countless cultivators had gathered in this city. It was called Heavenly Peak City, but in reality, it was like a small cultivation country.

However, Tian Feng City was most special because apart from some powerful cultivation clans and sects, there were three other special forces in Immortal North Ancient Realm. And these three forces were all in Tian Feng City, namely, “Divine Martial Palace”, “Profound Frost Pavilion”, and “Celestial Pogoda”.

For thousands of years, the number of disciples who walked out of these three places was like the stars in the sky. They could not be counted on. Therefore, no matter how powerful the clans and sects in Immortal North Ancient Realm were, they still had to be wary of them.

Although these three forces had declined for some unknown reason in recent years, Divine Martial Palace was still the strongest in terms of strength and scale. Next was the Profound Frost Pavilion. Celestial Pogoda, once famous throughout the Ancient Realm, had fallen under these two clans for some unknown reason.

Although today’s Extreme Pagoda’s strength and scale seemed to be inferior to the first two, wanting to enter Celestial Pogoda for cultivation was the most difficult of the three. There were many clans or sects that wanted their people to enter Celestial Pogoda for cultivation, but in the end, almost all of them failed.

At this time, in the eastern district of Heavenly Peak City, this was originally where Celestial Pogoda was. Normally, no one from Divine Martial Palace or Profound Frost Pavilion would come here.

Although these three forces were all in Heavenly Peak City, because Heavenly Peak City was extremely large, the three forces were also very far apart. Moreover, these three forces had been in a competitive relationship for thousands of years, but it was not too much to say that they were hostile to each other.

However, due to the special reasons of the three forces, the three clans would not fight with each other. If the three clans were to start a war, it would probably affect the entire Immortal North Ancient Realm and even involve some ancient cultivation forces. At that time, it would be inevitable for them to have a bloody battle.

Evidently, no one wanted to see such a situation. Therefore, even if the disciples of the three forces clashed below, it would still be the disciples themselves who settled the situation. The elders would not come forward.

It was precisely because of this that the disciples of Celestial Pogoda would not normally go to the north city where Divine Martial Palace was located and the west city where Profound Frost Pavilion was located. Similarly, the people of Divine Martial Palace and Profound Frost Pavilion would not come to the east city.

However, at this moment, people from Divine Martial Palace could be seen everywhere in Dongcheng. They swaggered along the streets without a trace of fear. Instead, they had lost Celestial Pogoda’s disciples. Such a strange phenomenon had never been seen in hundreds of years.

At this moment, within the group of peaks, an ancient tower towering into the clouds could be seen vaguely between the peaks. That was Celestial Pogoda. It had been standing here for thousands of years, but now it was enveloped by layers of dark clouds. It looked exceptionally oppressive.

In the past few months, the dark clouds had shrouded not only the ancient pagoda that had stood for thousands of years, but also the disciples who refused to leave no matter what.

But now, Celestial Pogoda was at the moment of life and death, but there were still some people who were unwilling to leave. They still insisted on staying and making a final resistance, even though this final resistance did not seem to be of any use.

“Senior Sister Ling Luan, they will be here in three days. What should we do now …”

At this moment, everyone in the crowd was a little nervous, and in the middle, there was a girl dressed in white.

The young girl did not seem to be very old, and her appearance seemed to be only seventeen or eighteen years old. She held a jade note tightly in her hand. At this moment, she stared at the jade note tightly and did not dare to relax for a moment. This made her look more mature than the people around her.

She was precisely the young girl Ling Luan from back then. Even though twenty years had passed, her appearance still did not change much compared to back then. The only difference was that she looked more resolute and mature now, less childish than before.

Back then, when she first arrived in Celestial Pogoda, she was ignorant. Along with other new disciples, she was often bullied by Feng Gufei and other old disciples.

At that time, the old disciples under Feng Gufei had taken over their cultivation valley and prevented them from cultivating. In the end, she had no choice but to ask Xiao Chen for help.

At that time, she was only a small junior sister, but now, she has become the junior sister of so many people behind her.

“Don’t worry, Senior Sister Qin E and the others will definitely be able to rescue him within three days …”

Ling Luan clutched the jade slip in her hand tightly. Now that the Spiritual Energy inside the jade slip did not fluctuate violently, it meant that Senior Sister Qin E and the others were fine.

During this period of time, Divine Martial Palace had captured quite a few disciples of Celestial Pogoda for various reasons, imprisoning them all and humiliating them with bullying. As for the senior apprentice-brother and senior apprentice-sister who had gone to save them, in the end, they were not rescued, but instead fell into the hands of the other party.

If it was a man, it would be fine. At most, he would be severely beaten and his muscles and bones would be shaken. However, if it was a woman, she would often be humiliated and suffer unspeakably.

In the past, even if the two clans were at odds, the Divine Martial Palace would never dare to do so. However, from a few months ago, the cultivation of the Divine Martial Palace’s elders had suddenly increased greatly, and even their disciples’ cultivation had improved by leaps and bounds.

Before, Celestial Pogoda’s strength had always been inferior to Divine Martial Palace’s, but now, it was unable to withstand their attacks. Now, the entire East City had almost fallen. Only near Celestial Pogoda, there was still a defensive formation. Those people were temporarily unable to attack, but it was only a matter of time.

Three days later, there will be a competition between Divine Martial Palace and Celestial Pogoda. Similar competitions are common in the past in the three families, and they will be held on a regular basis.

However, this time was obviously different. In the past, no matter what, it was just a point. The three clans were bound by rules, and this time, it was most likely a matter of life and death.

Now that Divine Martial Palace had spoken out brazenly, if Celestial Pogoda won this time, they would let him go. If Celestial Pogoda lost, then one person’s cultivation would be crippled.

These words were absolutely not alarmist. Today, Divine Martial Palace could do anything. Therefore, yesterday, Qin E and the others quietly sneaked to save people. If they rescued them, then there was no need to accept this competition. If they were not rescued, then there was no other way. In the end, they had to fight.

It was obvious that the competition was only on the surface. Divine Martial Palace’s real goal was to capture the entire Celestial Pogoda. Who was behind this and why was that person behind it? Disciples did not know, but Daoist Gudeng Four Daoists did not know.

But so what if they knew? Everyone in Immortal North Ancient Realm still said that True Monarch Xuanxiao was an extraordinary expert from the outside world, and no one could expose his true colors. And with the strength of the four of them, they were far from being True Monarch Xuanxiao’s match.

…

Three days had passed. These three days, the entire Celestial Pogoda had been shrouded in dark clouds. The hearts of the disciples seemed to be shrouded in layers of dark clouds, and they were constantly panicking and uneasy.
