Longevity: Starting with an infant's innate growth potential

"Brother Zhou, are you alright?"

"Zhou Ling, are you alright?"

After killing three fourth-tier Starsea aliens, Qi Jianzhi and the others came to Chen Ling's side and asked with concern.

They all knew that if Zhou Ling hadn't blocked the blood domain of that fifth-tier Star Sea alien, none of them would have escaped.

Moreover, the four of them were once again shocked by Zhou Ling's strength.

This was a genuine kill of that fifth-tier Starsea alien, offering no assistance whatsoever.

Zhou Ling is currently only at the late stage of the Golden Core realm.

Their cultivation level is not as high as Feng Lan's and the others.

However, the four of them were also overjoyed.

After all, they were already allies with Zhou Ling, and the stronger Zhou Ling became, the more benefits they would naturally receive.

"It's alright, let's get out of here first!"

Zhou Ling said in a deep voice.

After refining the medicinal power of the Haoyuan Pill, his cultivation level recovered somewhat.

However, it is unclear whether there are other alien races in the vicinity, so we should leave this place as soon as possible.

Not only him, but the other four also suffered considerable losses.

The five of them immediately boarded the warship and sped off towards Moonlit Immortal City.

Zhou Ling ordered the Blood Thunder Raven to continue leading the way.

The Blood Thunder Ravens also suffered considerable casualties in this battle, with over thirty Blood Thunder Ravens killed, including a fourth-tier Blood Thunder Raven Demon King that was seriously injured.

Zhou Ling also took out some blood medicine, gave it to the Blood Thunder Raven, and then put it into the beast-raising bag.

At the same time, he also put the corpses of the fifth-order Starsea alien and the other four-order Starsea aliens into his beast-raising bag.

As food for Blood Ravens.

The flesh and blood of these alien races from the starry sea contain abundant essence, which is undoubtedly a great tonic for demonic beasts.

Otherwise, leaving the corpse in the sea of ​​stars would be too wasteful.

With these alien corpses from the Star Sea, the Blood Thunder Raven Demon King should be able to recover soon.

"Brother Zhou, will Moonlit Immortal City be breached?"

On the deck, after taking the pill, Qi Jianzhi spoke to Zhou Ling with a worried expression.

Logically speaking, the battle in Moonlit Immortal City should be fierce right now.

It's impossible for the alien races of the Star Sea to send out another fifth-tier race member to roam the star field.

Moreover, he was accompanied by several fourth-tier Starsea aliens, so his combat strength was not low.

In the attack on the human immortal city, it can even play a key role in determining the outcome of the battle.

Therefore, encountering someone in this place is undoubtedly a very strange thing.

Another possibility is that Moonlit Immortal City has already been breached!
"probably not."

Zhou Ling shook his head and said in a deep voice, "When I left Sun City, the city lord told me that the battle there was still at a stalemate, and Moon City could not have collapsed so quickly."

"Then this matter is strange."

"Could these alien races from the Star Sea be lying in ambush here?"

Qi Jianzhi scratched his head, his tone full of doubt.

After all, they had only just left the Dark Star Domain.

Even fifth-order Star Sea aliens in the Dark Star Domain would not be able to find their location.

Therefore, this matter left him somewhat puzzled.

"This fifth-tier Starsea alien, accompanied by seven fourth-tier beings, has clearly come prepared!"

At this moment, Pei Qingshuang spoke up.

Of the five, she had the most insightful analysis.

Upon hearing her say this, the other four people's eyes all turned to her.

"Fellow Daoist Pei, what do you mean?"

Chen Ling asked thoughtfully.

He also harbored doubts about the Star Sea aliens' strategy of besieging a point and attacking reinforcements.

These alien races from the star sea were lying in ambush here to deal with the reinforcements from Sun City.

However, in this situation, it seems that there shouldn't be only this many people.

"Perhaps they are targeting Fellow Daoist Zhou!"

"Don't forget, you're now number one on their kill list!"

Pei Qingshuang said with a serious expression.

She didn't want to believe it even as she said it.

However, upon analyzing the entire situation, it is highly likely.

If it were an ambush of human cultivators coming to provide support, the number of people involved would not be this small.

But if that were the case, it wouldn't be what she wanted to see.

This undoubtedly indicates that their whereabouts were known to the alien races of the Star Sea.

There can only be two explanations for this situation.

The first is the existence of a Star Sea Alien reconnaissance point in Sun City.

Another possibility is that there are spies from the Star Sea alien race within the Sun City.

Regarding the first point, their inspections over the past few months have confirmed that these strongholds have been basically completely eliminated.

However, if it's the second point, then the situation becomes complicated.

We must find this lurking spy as soon as possible.

Otherwise, it would pose a significant threat to Sun City and even the entire Sword Qi Great Wall.

"But how did they know our whereabouts?"

Qi Jianzhi asked with a furrowed brow.

The battle he just fought left him feeling extremely shaken.

Pei Qing Shuang's beautiful eyes swept over the four people. After a moment's hesitation, she said, "I'm worried that someone from inside Sun City might have leaked the information?"

Upon hearing this, the other four people couldn't help but gasp.

Qi Jianzhi looked incredulous, shook his head, and said, "But only City Lord Cheng and a few others knew we were going to Moonlit Immortal City!"

"It can be said to be extremely secretive, even though there are spies from the Star Sea alien race lurking in Sun City."

"They have no way of knowing our whereabouts!"

Feng Lan and the others also showed the same look of confusion on their faces.

"I don't know about that."

"Anyway, we just need to be extra careful from now on!"

"However, one thing is certain: this time, their target is none other than Fellow Daoist Zhou!"

Pei Qingshuang said decisively.

"They're after me, could it be that kid Tao Yue leaked the information?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Ling subconsciously spoke up.

Regardless of whether it's true or not, let's put this label on him first.

After all, the forces behind Tao Yue are much stronger than his.

Judging from Tao Yue's various actions, there is a high probability that they will take action against him.

Although I'm not sure, I certainly can't miss this opportunity.

Upon hearing Zhou Ling's words, the other four exchanged bewildered glances.

They all looked somewhat surprised.

"Tao Yue can't be that bad, can he?"

Pei Qingshuang said hesitantly.

"I think it's him."

"You don't understand him. He's a very petty person!"

"Now that he sees Brother Zhou's score is so high, he naturally can't wait to use the Star Sea Alien Clan to get rid of Brother Zhou."

"If we are also eliminated, then he will naturally be able to get into the top three in this trial!"

Qi Jianzhi found the argument increasingly reasonable, his eyes filled with anger, and he gritted his teeth.

"I'm not sure if that's right, but I'd better inform City Lord Cheng of the current situation first, so that he can be careful!"

Zhou Ling took out a specially made communication jade, activated it, and informed Cheng Yi of the general situation of the battle just now.

Tell him to be careful, as there might be spies in Sun City.

As Zhou Ling and Qi Jianzhi spoke, Feng Lan and Pei Qingshuang's expressions also became somewhat solemn.

If Tao Yue was indeed behind this, then it's a serious matter.

Logically speaking, Tao Yue shouldn't be such a person who can't distinguish right from wrong.

But given the current situation, he also seems to be somewhat suspicious.

······.

Inside the city lord's tent in Sun City.

Cheng Yi and Fei Qinan, along with two other Nascent Soul cultivators, were discussing the defense of Sunrise Immortal City. Suddenly, the sound transmission jade on their bodies trembled.

"not good!"

Cheng Yi took out the communication jade, and his expression changed slightly.

This is a sound transmission jade used in emergency situations.

Once it sounds, it definitely means a crisis is brewing.

Then it will be stimulated.

"Lord Cheng, I have important news to report. We were attacked by a fifth-order Star Sea alien race. Fortunately, I have already killed this villain."

"However, our whereabouts have been leaked, and I suspect that someone in Sun City leaked the information."

"The city lord must also be wary of Tao Yue!"

"what?"

"Zhou Ling has killed another fifth-tier Star Sea alien?"

Upon hearing this, the surrounding Nascent Soul cultivators couldn't help but show expressions of shock.

It's important to understand that killing a fifth-tier Starsea alien is no easy feat.

Even for Nascent Soul cultivators like them, it would be impossible to kill a fifth-tier Star Sea alien unless it was a two-on-one situation.

Otherwise, you need to be stronger than someone in a lower rank to have a chance.

Fighting against opponents of the same level is virtually impossible.

Zhou Ling had been in Sun City for less than half a year, yet he had already killed two fifth-tier Star Sea aliens.

How could they not be shocked!
These fifth-order interstellar alien races are not leeks (exploited resources).

"Zhou Ling and his group were attacked as soon as they left the Dark Star Region. It seems there's something fishy about this!"

"Fichnan said in a deep voice."

Cheng Yi nodded slightly, "No matter who it is, if they really collude with the alien races of the Star Sea, even the Heavenly King himself can't protect them!"

"However, this incident also serves as a reminder that we need to be even more careful going forward!"

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded.

"This kind of thing must never happen again."

"This time Zhou Ling and his team were strong enough to avert the crisis, but they won't be so lucky next time!"

Ficchinan's eyes flashed with a sharp light, his tone indignant.

He had always thought it was unsafe for Zhou Ling to go to Moonlit Immortal City, and he never expected that something would happen.

Upon hearing this, the other Nascent Soul cultivators also nodded in agreement.

"Bring Tao Yue here and ask him first!"

Cheng Yi spoke up.

······.

"This kid has reached 80,000 points, what's going on?"

Inside a tent in Sunrise Immortal City, Liu Zhengjia looked at the trial cultivators' scoreboards and said with a gloomy expression.

"Senior Liu, could it be that he has killed another fifth-tier Star Sea alien?"

On the lower right, Tao Yue also looked at the scoreboard and said with an incredulous expression.

His voice trembled slightly.

Last time I witnessed Zhou Ling kill a fifth-tier Star Sea alien.

Although the battle was fierce at the time, he felt there was still some luck involved.

Most importantly, it was with the help of the Sunlit Immortal Sword and Ficchinan, among others.

Yet, even in this passive situation, they were still able to kill a fifth-tier Starsea alien.

This strength is too terrifying!

"This kid is really lucky; he even managed to escape this!"

Liu Zhengjia's eyes flashed with a cold light.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Ling managed to evade this seemingly foolproof plan of using someone else to kill him.

These alien races from the Star Sea are utterly useless.

Under these circumstances, Zhou Ling absolutely cannot be allowed to live.

Liu Zhengjia crushed the fourth-order jade bead in his hand.

But then his gaze suddenly darkened, and he thought to himself, "This is bad!"

He then transmitted his voice to Tao Yue, saying, "No matter what happens later, you must say you don't know anything!"

"You are a disciple who came to participate in the trial. You are from Sun City, so we can't do anything to you!"

He scanned the area with his divine sense and could sense that Cheng Yi was heading this way.

Judging from their posture, they seem to have ill intentions.

Upon hearing this, Tao Yue's expression changed. From Liu Zhengjia's words, he immediately realized that something was wrong.

How could Cheng Yi and his team have discovered the situation so quickly?
My whole body trembled involuntarily.

If it is proven that he colluded with the alien races of the Star Sea, not only will he be finished, but his Tao family will also certainly not have a good ending.

With a look of terror on his face, he said, "Senior Liu, you have to save me!"

This wasn't his idea.

It was all done by Liu Zhengjia; he had never had any contact with the alien races of the Star Sea.

"Don't worry, everything will be fine!"

Liu Zhengjia said calmly.

But in his heart, he was plotting how to find an opportunity to silence Tao Yue.

To avoid implicating him in this matter.

"Liu Zhizheng, Tao Yue is indeed in your camp!"

At this moment, Cheng Yi walked directly into the tent without saying hello.

Behind him followed three Nascent Soul cultivators, including Fei Qinan.

"Lord Cheng, what brings you in such a hurry?"

Liu Zhengjia frowned and said in a rather displeased tone.

Entering the tent without prior notice was clearly a sign of extreme disrespect.

"Liu Zhizheng, please forgive me, I have something to ask Tao Yue!"

Cheng Yi cupped his hands in greeting and said calmly.

"Oh, City Lord Cheng, Tao Yue is a disciple who came here for trials, and has nothing to do with your Sunrise Immortal City!"

Liu Zhengjia glanced at Cheng Yi and said with a serious expression.

"Trial disciples are naturally none of our business, but secretly colluding with alien races from the Star Sea is a capital offense, and any human cultivator can kill them!"

Cheng Yi said indifferently.

On his way here, the more he thought about it, the more suspicious he felt about the whole thing.

After all, only a few of them knew that Zhou Ling and the others had gone to Moonlit Immortal City.

He and Ficchinen could not possibly inform the alien races of this news.

He also notified Tao Yue to collect the elixir.

I originally thought Tao Yue would go to Moonlit Immortal City with Feng Lan and the others.

Unexpectedly, he did not go.

This suddenly increased suspicion against him.

"Lord City Lord, this junior does not understand what you mean?"

Tao Yue bowed to Cheng Yi and said solemnly.

"Come with me, I need to ask you a few questions, don't worry!"

Cheng Yi nodded and said.

Upon hearing this, Tao Yue couldn't help but look at Liu Zhengjia.

"Go!"

"Just answer whatever Lord Cheng asks. You are a disciple personally selected by the higher-ups of the Dao Alliance. As long as you don't make any mistakes, no one can do anything to you!"

Liu Zhengjia narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a deep voice.

Tao Yue then got up.

"Lord Cheng, Tao Yue is the grandson of Tao Yi, the headmaster of the Xuan Yuan Dao Academy!"

"Don't mess around!"

As Cheng Yi led Tao Yue out of the tent, Liu Zhengjia spoke up again.

"Even if Tao Yi comes in person, I will still handle this as a business!"

Cheng Yi replied indifferently, and then left the camp with Tao Yue.

Fichnan and his two companions followed.

Liu Zhengjia's expression changed slightly.

He could sense that Cheng Yi and the other three seemed to have come for him.

If they weren't allowed to take Tao Yue away, they might have attacked. (End of Chapter)
