The Emperor of Zongmen Workers is here

At that moment, she suddenly sensed a powerful surge of magical energy coming from outside the city. Like surging waves, it assaulted her senses one after another. Her expression instantly grew solemn, and a deep sense of unease welled up within her. Without hesitation, she rushed out of the room to investigate.

"Everyone, be careful! Something's happening!" Jiang Qingwu's voice was remarkably clear in the still night, ringing like a warning bell in everyone's heart. Everyone quickly stood up, their sleepy faces instantly changing into a look of alertness. They all glanced around, ready to respond to any possible danger. They knew Jiang Qingwu would never issue such a warning lightly.

Everyone grabbed their weapons and followed Jiang Qingwu closely, arriving outside the city. The sight before them stunned everyone: In an open space outside the city, a black light shot straight into the sky, like a giant black dragon, emanating endless darkness and evil. A powerful demonic aura permeated the air, as if threatening to devour the entire world.

"It's the Chaos Orb!" Li Qinglian exclaimed, her eyes wide. Her voice was filled with fear and worry, for she knew the Chaos Orb's power well. This magical weapon possessed the power to destroy heaven and earth. If it fell into the hands of evil, the consequences would be disastrous.

Everyone's hearts sank, and they immediately flew towards the light. They saw a group of demon cultivators surrounding the Chaos Orb, attempting to seize it. Their eyes revealed greed and desire, seemingly oblivious to all morality and justice. "We can't let them succeed!" Jiang Qingwu shouted, his eyes wide with rage. The spells in his hand rapidly shifted, and a brilliant beam of light shot towards the demon cultivators like a meteor. Seeing this, the demon cultivators unleashed a variety of spells and magical weapons to counterattack. For a moment, a thrilling battle ensued in the air.

Lin Feixue, sword in hand, moved with lightning speed. Her sword strikes were fierce, each one imbued with murderous intent. In an instant, she slew several demon cultivators, sending blood splattering everywhere. Her figure darted across the battlefield with ease, becoming a nightmare for her enemies.

Meanwhile, Feng Ci busily set up the formation. He formed seals with his hands, and mysterious runes emerged from the air, forming a vast formation. This formation, like a dragnet, tightly restrained the demon cultivators' movements. They tried to break through the formation, but were repelled, unable to escape.

The runes in Shi Chenbai's hands shone with a strange light, like the brightest stars in the night sky. As his incantation rang out, rays of light from the formation surged out like a tide, enveloping the demon cultivators. These rays were no ordinary light, but rather contained powerful forces, each capable of weakening the demon cultivators.

The demon cultivators felt threatened, their faces darkening. They stopped scattering their attacks and began concentrating their strength, attempting to break through Shi Chenbai's formation. However, Shi Chenbai's formation was not so easily broken. He skillfully dodged the demon cultivators' attacks, constantly changing the formation's form, preventing them from finding a flaw.

At the same time, Zhongli Xiu, Su Chen, and the others also unleashed their own spells and techniques. Zhongli Xiu waved his hands, and flames erupted from his palms, forming a sea of ​​fire that trapped the demon cultivators. Su Chen wielded his longsword, his sword energy like a rainbow, and each strike carried a fierce murderous intent, making the demon cultivators afraid to approach.

The other monks were not to be outdone, and they all displayed their unique skills. Some summoned divine beasts, some performed teleportation, and others released powerful soul attacks. Their moves were different, but they all demonstrated great strength and determination.

The demon cultivators gradually fell into a passive position, and they began to feel fear and despair. They had originally thought that with their advantage in numbers and strength, they could easily defeat the group of cultivators, but now it seemed that they had underestimated their strength. In this fierce battle, everyone worked closely together, leveraging their respective strengths. They supported each other and jointly resisted the demon cultivators' attacks. Everyone knew that if they did not unite, they would be defeated one by one by the demon cultivators.

On the battlefield, flames blazed, spells intertwined in a dazzling display of color, like a grand fireworks display. Every moment, someone was wounded or fell, blood forming pools on the ground. But no one retreated. They stood firm, brandishing their weapons, unleashing their powerful magic, and engaging the enemy in a desperate struggle. They knew that this battle depended on the fate of all mankind. Failure would bring untold disaster to the entire world. Therefore, they must give their all, without a moment's slack.

Jiang Qingwu concentrated her efforts on reaching the Chaos Orb and searching for a way to seal it. Within her Qiankun Ring were several sealing artifacts gifted to her by her master, meticulously crafted and capable of unleashing immense power. However, the demonic cultivators, aware of the Chaos Orb's importance, fought desperately, protecting it at all costs. They continuously unleashed black magic, attacking Jiang Qingwu and the others, putting them in a difficult position.

In the fierce battle, Jiang Qingwu and his companions gradually gained the upper hand. With their superior martial arts and powerful magic, they gradually overpowered the demon cultivators. The demon cultivators began to retreat, and some, seeing the situation was dire, attempted to flee. However, Jiang Qingwu and his companions showed no sign of letting them go. "Want to escape? Not so easy!" Shi Chenbai snorted coldly. With a wave of his hand, Feng Ci coordinated the formation to transform, instantly trapping the fleeing demon cultivators.

Finally, after a fierce battle, Jiang Qingwu and his companions successfully repelled the demon cultivators. They used their wisdom and strength, skillfully employed formations and magic weapons, and temporarily sealed the Chaos Demon Orb after it was sealed.

Although the battle was arduous, they finally won and defended the peace of the capital of Southern Xinjiang. However, they also clearly realized that this was only a temporary solution to the problem and the real challenge had just begun.

"This is only a temporary solution. We must quickly find a way to completely seal the magic weapon," Shi Chenbai said solemnly. His gaze was firm and resolute, revealing both worry and determination for the future.

Everyone nodded in agreement. They knew the crisis wasn't over yet, and the road ahead was still filled with challenges. Only by making greater efforts could they protect the peace and tranquility of the Dongxu Realm.

After returning to the Southern Border capital, they immediately continued to discuss countermeasures. Shi Chenbai decided to lead the demon cultivators and their magic weapons back to the sect, report the incident in detail to the sect's leadership, and work with his fellow disciples to thoroughly research solutions. He would also inform the major sects about to depart for the Youhuang Secret Realm, reminding them to remain vigilant and jointly respond to potential threats.

In the days ahead, Jiang Qingwu and his companions work tirelessly to find a way to completely seal the magic weapon. They firmly believe that as long as they unite as one, they will be able to overcome all difficulties and safeguard the peace and tranquility of the Dongxu Realm.

Meanwhile, Jiang Qingwu and his companions chose to remain in the southern border capital. On the one hand, they continued their investigation into the clues leading to the magical artifact; on the other, they awaited the opening of the Mysterious Bamboo Realm in a month's time. During this time, they scoured the city for ancient tomes and manuals on formation secrets, hoping to find an effective method for sealing the Chaos Orb. Each ancient tome held a new hope, and each page brought them one step closer to success.

After several days of painstaking exploration and research, they finally discovered some valuable clues within a long-forgotten, yellowed tome. According to records, to completely seal the Chaos Orb, they must find a peerless treasure called the "Ethereal Crystal" and use it as the core of the seal. Zhongli Xiu frowned, worried, and said, "Ethereal Crystal? It's a rare treasure in the world. Where can we find it?" Jiang Qingwu's gaze was firm, and he replied without hesitation, "No matter how difficult and arduous the journey, we must find it."

So, they resolutely embarked on a journey to the mysterious land of the Southern Border—the Void Realm—hoping to find the Void Crystal there. Rumor has it that the Void Realm is fraught with danger, but also holds endless treasures and opportunities. Before setting off, they made thorough preparations, bringing with them ample supplies of elixirs and magical weapons, and even meticulously crafted some powerful formation runes, just in case.

The journey was filled with challenges and dangers. They not only had to face attacks from various ferocious beasts, but also had to decipher the traps set by mysterious formations. However, they remained steadfast in their goal, relying on their immense strength and fearless courage to overcome crisis after crisis, ultimately successfully reaching the ethereal realm.

The ethereal realm resembles a fairyland, shrouded in mist and a dreamlike atmosphere, making one feel as if they are floating above the clouds. However, behind this seemingly beautiful scene lies endless dangers and challenges. Here, every step is fraught with uncertainty and uncertainty, and the slightest mistake could lead to despair. Therefore, they must be cautious and vigilant at all times to prepare for any crisis that may arise.

In this mysterious and dangerous place, they encountered other immortal cultivators who were also treasure hunters. These people were all seeking the Void Crystal, hoping to obtain this magical gem. When Jiang Qingwu and his group encountered another immortal cultivator, he curiously asked, "Are you also here to look for the Void Crystal?"

Jiang Qingwu nodded cautiously and replied, "Yes, that's exactly why we're here. Do you know the exact location of the Ethereal Crystal?"

The immortal cultivator frowned, thought for a moment, and then said, "As far as I know, the Void Crystal is located deep within the Void Realm, hidden in a mysterious cave. However, finding this cave is not easy, as there are powerful guardian beasts there who will prevent anyone from approaching the Void Crystal."

Upon hearing this news, Jiang Qingwu and the others didn't retreat; instead, their resolve to advance grew even stronger. They knew that obtaining the Ethereal Crystal would require facing difficulties and challenges. So, after thanking the kind cultivator, they continued their journey, without hesitation, deeper into the Ethereal Realm.

After an arduous journey, they finally found the legendary mysterious cave. A thin layer of mist hung over the cave entrance, obscuring the view inside. However, the roaring sounds emanating from the depths of the cave instilled fear. Jiang Qingwu and the others took a deep breath, gripped their weapons, and cautiously entered the cave.

Outside the cave, a massive guardian beast blocked their path. Resembling a dragon, it exuded a powerful aura. Jiang Qingwu, his gaze stern, warned everyone, "This guardian beast is difficult to handle. Be careful." With that, he flashed towards the beast, sword in hand.

Seeing this, the others all took action, each displaying their own unique skills and magic weapons. For a moment, the entire space was ablaze with light, magic weapons danced, and spiritual energy surged.

Lin Feixue took the lead, wielding her sword. A sharp sword energy whistled out, slashing towards the guardian beast like lightning. The guardian beast, sensing the threat, roared angrily, spewing a stream of blazing flames from its mouth, colliding with the sword energy and making a loud noise.

Meanwhile, Feng Ci quickly set up a formation, attempting to trap the guardian beast. He waved his hands, and runes flickered in the air, gleaming like stars. As he moved, the runes gradually converged, forming a complex and mysterious formation.

The runes in Chen Bai's hands flickered continuously, and he continuously released various rune attacks, accurately hitting the guardian beast's weaknesses. Each attack caused the guardian beast to suffer unbearable pain, and it roared.

Jiang Qingwu nimbly moved around the guardian beast, searching for its weaknesses. Sometimes he swung his sword to attack, sometimes he used his body skills to dodge the guardian beast's attacks, like a nimble cheetah.

After a fierce battle, they finally found the guardian beast's weakness. Lin Feixue seized the opportunity, and her sword streaked like a meteor, piercing the guardian beast's eyes. The guardian beast screamed, and its massive body fell to the ground, sending up a cloud of dust.

They entered the cave, only to see a strange light shimmering within. This light emanated from the walls and floor, as if it were alive. Deep within the cave, they discovered an ethereal crystal. The crystal was transparent, and a mysterious light shimmered within.

Jiang Qingwu stepped forward and carefully examined the ethereal crystal. He discovered that the surface of the crystal was covered with runes, which seemed to contain some kind of power. He reached out and gently touched the ethereal crystal, feeling a cool breath coming from the crystal.

The soft light emanating from the ethereal crystal was as beautiful as a dream, seemingly imbued with endless mysterious power. Jiang Qingwu carefully reached out and gently removed the ethereal crystal, her heart filled with joy.

"Finally found it!" Zhongli Xiu said excitedly, his face filled with ecstasy.

The sky of the southern Xinjiang capital was covered with dark clouds, lightning and thunder, as if foreshadowing the coming of a huge change.
