The sect is full of evildoers, but I am the eldest brother.

Compared to the Chao Xi duo, who stood at the back of the crowd, unaware of the progress of the negotiations, Gu Yi, thanks to the Hundred Refinement Ancestor, was fortunate enough to stand in the front row on the side, witnessing this historically significant negotiation that concerned the life and death of the Hundred Refinement Pavilion and was worthy of being recorded in history, together with many powerful cultivators whose cultivation far surpassed his!

However, those with great supernatural powers who can ascend to the other shore are ultimately few and far between. Even the Hundred Refinements Pavilion, which has existed for thousands of years, only has a few more great supernatural powers than other forces of the same level in the present world.

More often than not, they are the mainstay between the Other Shore Realm and the Transformation Bridge Realm and the Opening Sea Realm.

There were cultivators of the same cultivation level as Gu Yi present, but he was a rather special case.

Needless to say, the Demon-Eyed Saintess is a genuine Yin-Yang Heavenly Realm Great Divine Power Master, more than qualified to occupy a place. And then there's the Desert Silver Wolf, who is the leader of the Ten Thousand Blade Swords, so it's only natural that he'd appear in this group.

Even Tang Yi, aside from having the power of the ancient Flame God flowing within her, still has the title of Elder of the Hundred Refinements Pavilion and a noble five-star weapon refiner to back her up.

Gu Yi, a completely unfamiliar face, stood out conspicuously among the powerful group led by the three founders of the Hundred Refinements Pavilion, including the Supreme Sage.

From the moment they appeared, they aroused suspicion among the bandits who stood on the opposite side, eyeing them with predatory intent, as if they were prey.

A few people recognized Gu Yi.

The unassuming Golden Lion King is one, and Mo Xinren, who stands at the forefront, is another.

But compared to the Golden Lion King, whose eyes were filled with resentment and who, despite having his arm reattached, was still bothered by the loss of his arm, Mo Xinren was more surprised to see an "old friend" again.

Since this guy is here, does that mean... Caiyunxian, who's taking care of the child, is also nearby?

Mo Xinren had never witnessed the Green-Robed Swordsman's Sword Opening the Heavenly Gate, nor the White-Haired Madman's superb martial arts, nor the Donglai Lord's Heavenly Way of Impermanence, nor the Little Dragon Emperor's Laughter Across the Vast Ocean, nor the Sword Lord who exemplified "Innate Invincibility" and became the first immortal in later generations!

But he witnessed it firsthand in the city of trade...

One person is comparable to a super power, mastering a thousand great paths, possessing a thousand illusory bodies, each of which has attained the fruit of great supernatural powers - Dream Cloud Immortal!

Throughout history, there have been countless powerful beings who have ascended to the other side of the world, but only a handful have become well-known to the world and left a lasting mark on history books.

In the past, it was truly rare for such a peerless genius to emerge!

But in this era, a total of ten people appeared!

Moreover, there are more than ten!

These ten individuals, however, have spread their fame further than others, and their deeds and strengths are slightly greater, making them easier for people to remember.

As the ancients said, heroes of the world are as numerous as carp crossing a river.

Anyone who can leap over the dragon gate.

They often achieve lasting fame and are remembered for generations.

Without a doubt, Caiyun Xian, ranked third on the Prodigy Ranking and comparable to a super power, made a move that taught Mo Xinren, the city lord of the Trading City who had not been in office for long, a lesson that left a great shock in his heart.

If Mo Xinren had the powerful assistance of Caiyun Xian, he wouldn't even need the help of the Desolate Clan; he would have his own means to force the Hundred Refinement Pavilion to step down!

Anyway, before personally witnessing the other top talents from the Five Regions listed on the list, Caiyun Xian was already the only one Mo Xinren had ever seen so far...

The number one person with supernatural powers in this world!

A thousand powerful beings who have reached the other shore of the Yang Heaven Realm—who wouldn't be intimidated by such a sight?

In the past, Mo Xinren had always looked down on these so-called prodigies.

They even thought that he could sleep with her too!

Bragging is something anyone can do. How could anyone possibly split the heavens in two with a single sword?

It doesn't exist at all!

It's not that Mo Xinren underestimated the man in blue robes who was "only known by name but never seen in person." After all, to become the universally recognized "leader of the five regions," no matter how mythologized he was, it would be unreasonable if he didn't have some real skills.

But to cleave the heavens in two with a single sword...

It sounds like a complete fantasy...

However, what Mo Xinren didn't know was that the leader of the Five Regions, the man in green robes, had truly cleaved this sky in two!

Many people have heard of and witnessed this feat!

As for Caiyun Xian, she is not the number one supernatural being in this world. This is just Mo Xinren's opinion. At least in the present and future generations, at the same level, there are only a handful of people who can give Caiyun Xian a headache.

This includes the guy who comes to mind first when people mention "invincible from birth".

Unfortunately, this guy is starting to falter a little bit...

Ten years have passed, and he's no longer invincible. He even has to find a sturdy tree to hide under when Caiyunxian blows on him. He's not what he used to be.

"Elder Tang, what do you think of the matter that the desert bandits just mentioned, which is about each side taking a step back?"

Gu Yi asked Tang Yi in a low voice.

"Humph!"

Tang Yi snorted coldly, unable to control her voice, and bluntly revealed, "It's not that simple. It's just a means to force others to submit to circumstances!"

"That sounds nice, but you're even sending people to intervene in the existing system, change things, and improve it to achieve friendly coexistence. Do you think that's possible?"

"They are clearly driven by greed, coveting the legacy of my Hundred Refinements Pavilion. They want us to cede territory and submit to them, starting with reforming the system and gradually annexing us!"

The demands of the desert bandits were mainly twofold.

First, they asked the Hundred Refinement Pavilion to carve out nearly half of their territory, leaving them space to live in the northern desert.

Secondly, envoys were sent to the Hundred Refinement Pavilion to learn about and discuss subsequent rectification matters, promote friendly exchanges between the two sides, and achieve complete internal and external unification of the northern desert.

They spoke with great conviction and high-sounding words, but in reality, everyone present knew their true purpose: as Tang Yi revealed, it was a means to force others to submit to circumstances.

In short, if reality were truly as wonderful as the desert bandits had negotiated, they should have shown the proper attitude from the beginning, instead of releasing the demonic giants and wreaking havoc in the city!

While everyone was helpless against the demonic elephant giant, the desert bandits below were also openly committing robbery in the city. The number of innocent lives lost at their hands and the wealth lost by the Hundred Refinement Pavilion were countless.

Life is precious and can only be lived once; it is priceless and cannot be measured by value!

But in the eyes of these utterly depraved bandits, human life was as worthless as grass.

P.S.: Just a little background: Old Ye's return is already on the agenda, and Gu Yi's new identity will also replace the Sword Lord and continue to be passed down.
