Tianxuan Mountain, Tianxuan Peak.

“This is very bad.”

Sect Leader Gongsun Yun’s heart trembled, feeling that his entire being was in disarray.

Although he had long known that Sanzhou would become a place of turbulent conflicts, he hadn’t expected it to arrive so soon, nor had he imagined that it would start in Leizhou.

A True Martial Realm battle, no less.

Sect Leader Gongsun Yun activated the Mountain Protection Array at once and took out a palm-sized copper bell, ready to stimulate it at any moment.

Even though the battlefield was tens of thousands of miles away from Tianxuan Mountain, Gongsun Yun dared not be negligent. Should the battle fully erupt, hundreds of thousands of miles of land could be flattened or even turned into a colossal pit in minutes.

Luckily, the distance was not too short; with his cultivation, he could drive the copper bell, coupled with the Mountain Protection Array, to fend off the aftermath.

“It’s bad, Prince Wu’an can’t hold on; the gap in strength is too vast.”

Gongsun Yun’s complexion changed, and he couldn’t help but cry out in alarm.

Although Tianxuan Mountain had not sided with the Daqian Empire, he was somewhat partial to Prince Wu’an, hoping that Prince Wu’an would be strong enough to suppress these disturbances, seize the opportunity and return to the Capital City soon so that Sanzhou could continue to remain peaceful.

But Prince Wu’an had disappointed him, or perhaps it was the woman clad in a colorful skirt, stepping on colorful clouds, who was too strong.

With just a single slap, she had forced Prince Wu’an into a sorry state; he had to strike with full force dozens of times to barely hold her off, which clearly showed that although Prince Wu’an’s strength was preposterous within the Myriad Phenomena Realm, it paled within the True Martial Realm.

Any True Martial Realm Emperor Wu could crush Prince Wu’an.

Seeing the standoff between the two and then Prince Wu’an’s retreat, Gongsun Yun finally breathed a slight sigh of relief.

“It’s actually the Dragon Lady, the reincarnation of the Dragon Saint.”

Gongsun Yun’s mind was still heavy with worry. Who in Leizhou from the major forces didn’t know the legends of Yingyuan Mountain? They had all explored it countless times, finding nothing.

He finally understood why Prince Wu’an had waited so many years in Huozhou—it was all for the treasures left by the Dragon Saint. Now that the Dragon Lady had returned, quite a few True Martial Realm Emperor Wus were likely watching, wanting to intervene.

If it came to that, there might very well be a massive brawl in the True Martial Realm, and it all depended on whether the Dragon Lady’s strength could suppress the entire scene. If she was too strong, she would face joint attacks from all True Martial Realm opponents.

“Alas, Tianxuan Mountain just wants to develop peacefully, why is it so difficult?” Gongsun Yun sighed in resignation.

In such circumstances, even if the Tai Xuan Sect offered support, unless a True Martial Realm Emperor Wu took action, they couldn’t fend off the pressures from all sides for Tianxuan Mountain.

“Second, third, fourth generation Grandmasters, have you reached the True Martial Realm?” Gongsun Yun muttered in his mind.

Immediately afterward, Gongsun Yun thought of his direct disciple, Han Li, admiring his skill in laying low, considering himself far inferior compared to his disciple.

Han Li seemed to have cultivated to the master level of the Myriad Phenomena Realm, and now still pretended to be a God Refining Realm real person, having run off to Yuanzhou early, avoiding all these disturbances without any pressure.

He also knew that Han Li was now frantically marrying and taking concubines in Yonchang Manor, taking two wives and seven or eight concubines in just three months, living a carefree and happy life.

As Han Li’s master, he was enduring hardships in Tianxuan Mountain, treading on thin ice, facing great pressure every day, and finding no joy in anything.

“Truly laying low.” Gongsun Yun lamented, feeling a trace of sourness in his heart.

Not only Tianxuan Mountain, but also Leizhou’s Sword Cleansing Pool, True Sun Sect, and even the major factions of Huozhou and Qingzhou had all begun to prepare, thinking of how to protect their Sects in this impending storm.

Since Prince Wu’an retreated to Huozhou and the Dragon Lady disappeared, the situation in Sanzhou once again calmed down a bit, seemingly returning to its prior tranquility.

But everyone knew it was only temporary; when the storm struck again, it would be even more fierce and vast.

At that time, the True Martial Realm Emperor Wus would all take to the stage one after another, vying for that great opportunity—it was a stage for the True Martial Realm.

Those below the True Martial Realm, even masters of the Myriad Phenomena Realm, wouldn’t dare compete for it; the fallout from a True Martial Realm battle could grievously injure them or even kill them outright.

Only those peak figures of the Myriad Phenomena Realm, confident in their own strength, would dare to muddy the waters and attempt to snatch victory from the jaws of peril.

Above the Leizhou sky, the Dragon Lady stood tall, her figure and aura concealed as she overlooked the mountains and rivers below.

After disappearing, she did not head straight for Yingyuan Mountain, which would have been too obvious, as several True Martial Realm Emperor Wus were secretly watching.

The Dragon Ball was actually not on Yingyuan Mountain but within an independent secret territory, created by a large array, highly concealed, and undetectable even to True Martial Realm Emperor Wus and Divine Yuan Realm Martial Emperors.

According to her original plan, she had intended to wait until she had cultivated to the Divine Yuan Realm before coming back to retrieve the Dragon Ball, but unfortunately, plans went awry.

The main peak of Yingyuan Mountain had been leveled, resulting in a minor flaw in the array, affecting the secret territory and causing a leakage of the Dragon Ball’s aura. Although the array quickly repaired it, this still attracted the attention of some powerhouses.

Long Yue had no choice but to change her plans and prepare to retrieve the Dragon Ball ahead of schedule, for if the array continued to operate for a while, it would malfunction, and the secret territory would be exposed, potentially snatched away by that brat Prince Wu’an.

This was something she absolutely could not accept.

Although these powerhouses couldn’t locate the entrance to the secret territory, they were certain there was a great opportunity here, each preparing and keeping a close watch.

As soon as the secret territory emerged, or someone opened it, they would reveal themselves, rushing into the secret territory to compete for the loot.

Long Yue was well aware of their intentions. She also knew that her reincarnation couldn’t be kept a secret; perhaps powers like the Da Qian weren’t aware, but those truly at the pinnacle of Qianyuan Divine Province, like Bai Yujing, Myriad Demon Mountain, Xumi Mountain, and even Penglai and other Sacred Lands, definitely knew.

These Sacred Lands, with their deep roots, each had produced Heavenly Immortals in ancient times; those with larger schemes would not covet her Dragon Ball, while those with lesser schemes would send people to fight for it, though they would not go too far, sending only True Martial Realm forces at most, as they still had reputations to maintain.
