The Cangling Zhang family dominates the continent!

"Hahaha, Fellow Daoist Zhong, long time no see!" Meng Zihua, a mid-stage spiritual realm expert of the Meng family, laughed.

He was dressed in brocade and jade clothes, playing with a string of spiritual beads in his hand, with a faint smile on his face, looking quite amiable.

"Friend Meng!" Earl Xiba, Zhong Wude bowed to Meng Zihua.

He was wearing a black robe, his face was stern, and his eyes were as deep as the abyss, giving people a sense of majesty, which was completely opposite to Zhong Yihao's arrogance.

"You two old guys got here really quickly!" Just as the two were about to exchange a few words, a slightly younger voice suddenly came from a distance, with a hint of dissatisfaction and provocation in the tone.

As the voice came, a middle-aged man in a white Taoist robe flew over on a sword at an extremely fast speed and arrived in front of the two of them in the blink of an eye.

He had a graceful figure, his long hair dancing in the wind, and in his hand he held a long sword that flashed with cold light, making him particularly eye-catching.

"Hmph, old ghost Wangchuan, you're not slow either!" Seeing Zhou Wangchuan in front of him wearing a Taoist robe and looking a little showy, Meng Zihua snorted coldly and his face darkened slightly.

He and Zhou Wangchuan had always been at odds, so naturally, there was a lot of sarcasm and ridicule when they met.

Zhou Wangchuan laughed heartily, a sly glint in his eyes:

"What's wrong? Brother Meng doesn't seem happy to see me! Could it be that you're still upset after losing to me last time?"

Meng Zihua sneered and responded, "Brother Zhou, you're joking. I'm not that petty. It's just that the grudge between you and me is difficult to resolve today." After saying that, he stared at Zhou Wangchuan sharply, as if he wanted to see through him.

The situation on the scene suddenly became tense, as if a storm was about to come.

After witnessing this scene, the low-level monks who were closer quickly moved away and watched from afar, fearing that they would be affected.

They knew that such a powerful monk could take their lives with just one move, so they chose to keep their distance to ensure their own safety.

"My two fellow Taoists, please give me some face. We all came here to explore this secret realm. How about we put aside the past grudges for the time being?" Zhong Wude looked at the two people who were about to fight and spoke to mediate.

The two men, who had no real intention of fighting, restrained their momentum when they heard someone coming out to give them a way out.

They all understood that this was not the time to settle personal grudges.

"Hmph! I'll give Brother Zhong a favor today, but you won't be so lucky next time!" Meng Zihua glared at Zhou Wangchuan fiercely and said something cruel.

Although he was dissatisfied, he also knew that it was not appropriate to argue with the other party under such circumstances.

"Unfortunately, that's what I wanted to say as well," Zhou Wangchuan responded without hesitation. He also knew that he couldn't back down at this moment and had to demonstrate his stance and strength.

"Fellow Daoist Zhong, are the five-rank forces coming only to our three families? Are there other forces coming?" Meng Zihua looked at Zhong Wude and asked. He frowned, seeming dissatisfied with the situation.

"How is that possible? Aren't there still disciples of the Hanhai Sect here? And also members of the Xia family, the royal family of the Linyue Dynasty. How could they possibly give up this opportunity to go to the secret realm?"

Zhong Wudao pointed at the disciples wearing Xia family and Hanhai Sect clothing and said, his tone also had a hint of dissatisfaction.

"Hmph! They want to enter the secret realm without putting in the effort. They're dreaming!" Meng Zihua said angrily, looking at the disciples of the Xia family and the Hanhai Sect. His eyes revealed anger and dissatisfaction, and he was clearly very dissatisfied with these people's attitude.

"So what? Can you stop them? Don't forget, the Xia family member is still alive!" Zhou Wangchuan taunted Meng Zihua, looking at him in anger. His words were filled with provocation and sarcasm.

"Zhou Wangchuan! Stop being so sarcastic! Humph!" Hearing this, Meng Zihua cursed. His face turned gloomy, and his eyes flashed with anger, obviously angered by Zhou Wangchuan's words.

"Alright, stop arguing. Let's attack this energy barrier together. It will only cost some spiritual energy. It's nothing. Don't you want to know what treasures are inside?"

Seeing the two about to quarrel again, Zhong Wude spoke up. His voice was full of authority, which temporarily stopped the quarrel between the two.

"Then let's get started!" Meng Zihua said, a glint of greed flashing in his eyes. However, the others didn't notice.

They all longed to obtain the treasures within the shield and were willing to pay any price for it.

"If the three of us work together, we can break the shield in a week at most!" Zhou Wangchuan said confidently. They were all powerful cultivators and believed that their strength could break the shield.

After hearing Zhong Wude's words, the two nodded in agreement and said, "Okay, let's do it together!"

Then, the three of them stretched out their palms at the same time and continuously injected the spiritual power in their bodies into the energy shield.

Their spiritual powers gathered together to form a powerful force that impacted the shield.

The shield trembled slightly under their attack, but was not broken immediately.

However, over time, some small cracks appeared in the shield.

Although these cracks were tiny, they gave the three people hope. They continued to increase their spiritual power output, trying to expand these cracks and eventually break through the shield...

City Lord’s Mansion, inside the Jiuxuan Star Tower!

Zhang Chentian sat cross-legged on the cushion, thinking secretly in his heart: "Calculating the time, the ancestors and others will be able to reach Nanshui City in three days at most, and the secret realm has just begun, so there is still enough time!" He stared ahead, his eyes revealing determination and expectation.

However, Xiaota on the side frowned and said dissatisfiedly: "Humph, don't you know to send people to Qingquan Island to watch? You insist on asking me to investigate the situation there!"

Zhang Chentian quickly apologized and explained, "Sending people back and forth would waste a lot of time. Besides, with a strong man like you here, why would we need to send people..."

After hearing this, Xiaota snorted proudly, but the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. Zhang Chentian saw this and continued to praise him, "You are so powerful and capable. It is really rare in the world!"

Xiaota was amused by Zhang Chentian's praise and said angrily, "Stop flattering me. Don't even think of asking me to help with such trivial matters in the future!"

Zhang Chentian nodded repeatedly and promised solemnly, "Yes, yes, yes! From now on, I will never trouble a tower master like you to handle such trivial matters!"

"What you said hits the nail on the head. Back then, when my spiritual body appeared, all the mother tower spirits were mesmerized by my handsomeness..." The little tower proudly recounted its "heroic days".

"That's right! That's right!" Zhang Chentian nodded in agreement.
