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

Wuli Mountain, Longhu Mountain, Jiuchong Mountain, Huntian Palace, Feiyu Sect...

Even people from the Aurora King's Holy Land have come!

Gu Yi identified the various forces from the Central Plains in the air one by one. The absence of the Immortal Cloud Holy Land surprised him, but the arrival of the Aurora King Holy Land was even more unexpected!

Since the people from the Aurora King's Holy Land have all arrived... does this mean that Lord Donglai has also come in person?

Hong Jun, also known as the Purple Qi Comes from the East, was born into the Hong family, a family of cultivators in the Central Plains. Later, he became a disciple of the Peerless King of the Aurora King Holy Land.

Thanks to him, the Hong family rose to prominence and became one of the many affiliated forces of the Aurora King Holy Land, transforming from a third-rate family into a high-ranking clan comparable to the first-rate ones!

Of course, compared to pseudo-first-class forces like Jiuchong Mountain, Huntian Palace, or even the Liuli Chamber of Commerce, the Hong family's size is far from sufficient.

However, because of Donglai Jun alone, even a long-established first-class power like Jiuchong Mountain dared not offend the Hong family rashly.

Not to mention the first-class or pseudo-first-class forces below them.

This truly embodies the saying, "When one person attains enlightenment, even his chickens and dogs ascend to heaven!"

Although he didn't want to admit it, Gu Yi still came to a harsh reality from his past experiences, which was...

Ziqi Donglai Jun, who ranks fourth on the list of geniuses, has never truly gone all out!

Of course, it's also possible that Gu Yi never used his full strength to fight Hong Jun one-on-one, and Hong Jun always knew to make concessions when he encountered the infamous old friend in green robes. However, if you underestimate the Heavenly Envoy - Lord Purple Qi from the East, you will suffer a great loss!

Take, for example, the aloof and unconventional assassin of Dark Fragrance Valley, who kills without shedding blood and has never failed since his debut. His only failure was at the hands of Donglai Jun.

It was this one and only mistake that ended Wan Ruofeng's career as an assassin.

It almost cost Wan Ruofeng his life!

Within and outside the Three Realms, only Tao is supreme.

Heaven and earth were born together with me, and all things are one with me.

Observe the way of Heaven, and act in accordance with Heaven.

Follow the way of heaven and control everything.

Heavenly Envoy, Lord of Purple Qi from the East—Hong Jun!

Hong Jun's Dao is similar to, almost identical to, Gu Yi's Dao.

However, the difference lies in their perspectives: one focuses on the external world and neglects their own emotions, while the other focuses on their inner self and emphasizes their true inner feelings.

Furthermore, one of them was surnamed Hong, and the other was surnamed Gu.

"What to do now?"

The long-haired member of the Wilderness Clan turned to their elder brother and secretly transmitted his voice, saying, "This boy doesn't care about our feelings at all, nor about the lives of our clan. He's just a willful and reckless madman. If this continues, I'm afraid it will disrupt our original plan..."

"Do you have a better idea?"

The elder brother of the Wilderness Clan interrupted, his gaze still fixed on the front, a hint of ferocity in his eyes, his expression unchanged—cold, composed, and exuding an imposing aura without anger.

It was as if the death of his companion was nothing more than a trivial matter in his eyes.

"The hopes of our people are all placed on this man."

The older brother said indifferently, "If you have a better way, don't hide it. If not, just do your job properly!"

"Yes."

The long-haired barbarian sighed inwardly and respectfully agreed.

"Gui Chen greets Junior Uncle He."

"Yes, Nephew Guichen, you are too kind. Please rise."

He Chengxiang stepped forward and helped a disciple who was about to bow in respect.

This disciple was no ordinary person found anywhere in the Ninefold Mountain Sect; rather, he was the most prized disciple of the Azure Sky Peak Master and the current sect leader of the Ninefold Mountain Sect.

He is also Xue Guichen, the legitimate Holy Son of the Ninefold Mountain Sect!

Yuan Huanyan is powerful because she possesses an innate Nine Extremes Demon Eye.

But Xue Guichen's power has only one reason.

His name is Xue Guichen!

A prodigy whom even Gu Yi in his prime had to be wary of, the Kunlun Divine Child, Xue Guichen!

Only a short-sighted person would think that the Five Domains Prodigy Ranking is based on strength.

That's not wrong.

Because some people do indeed make it into the top ten based on their own abilities.

There are countless heroes in the world, but only ten can secure a place on the list. It would be hard to believe that they don't have some real talent.

But that only accounts for a small part of the reasons.

The real big wins come from the reputation you accumulate.

If we set aside all other factors and fight a fair battle, the Kunlun Divine Child would be second to none!

But if we disregard all factors and adopt an absolutely fair and just arena system, the guy at the bottom would be none other than the top-ranked Green-Robed Swordsman himself!

Yes, the result was indeed quite dramatic.

"Nephew, has the Sect Master also come here?"

He Chengxiang inquired.

"The sect leader must remain at the mountain gate to guard against petty villains."

Xue Guichen shook his head sadly. His face, handsome and refined, was now shrouded in an unyielding sorrow. He sighed:

"To be honest, before I personally visited Hundred Refinement City and witnessed the devastation there, I was always skeptical about the Heavenly Mystery Elder's prophecy of disaster!"

"But I can't find any evidence to refute it."

"After all, the Old Man of Heavenly Secrets left behind a prophecy when no one was aware of it, and then paid for it with his life... The price was far too heavy!"

Xue Guichen sighed softly, then composed himself and explained the reason for his arrival:

"This matter has a very serious impact. The sect leader specially sent me to investigate the truth of the prophecy. I just didn't expect to run into Junior Uncle and two Junior Sisters here."

As she spoke, Xue Guichen's gaze lingered on He Ying for a moment, and she roughly guessed why He Chengxiang was here. Then she continued, "The Tianji Pavilion has been spreading this news widely. As Junior Uncle has seen, all kinds of forces have sent people here."

"I think Fairy Qingyue is probably like me, just a scout, to test whether the prophecy has any credibility!"

Xue Guichen turned his head and glanced in Xiao Qingyue's direction, "Otherwise, there wouldn't have been just us this time."

"As for the Dragon Emperor, he... well, according to my guess, he is probably here seeking revenge because of the former Holy Son of the Ming Sect, which is why he traveled thousands of miles across two regions to seek revenge."

There's a saying that Xue Guichen didn't say.

In this situation, some things are not suitable to be said in a crowded place.

Saying it will only affect morale and cause unnecessary trouble.

What Xue Guichen actually wanted to say was that the Dragon Emperor came to die, the Thirteenth Princess came to collect the Dragon Emperor's body, and the people from the Qishi Mansion came to protect the Thirteenth Princess who was collecting the Dragon Emperor's body.

Everyone knows that Lei Zun and Long Di have a close relationship and cherish each other, but people would not describe them as friends who would risk their lives for each other, because, putting themselves in each other's shoes, the strong have their own pride, and neither of them wants to drag the other down because of their own.

Lei Zun achieved his "innate invincibility" through speed, but such a prodigy known for his speed ended up with no remains.

Such a result is extremely strange and incomprehensible!

Strong people always respect each other.

The Dragon Emperor would never concern himself with matters that Lei Zun was unwilling to discuss, but now that Lei Zun was dead, the Dragon Emperor was determined to seek justice for his friend!
