  Jun Wu Xie’s gaze turned slightly cold as a glint flashed by her eyes.

  Ruan Zhongshan could no longer endure it any further!

  “Ruan Zhongshan, don’t you think your manner of talking is too arrogant? Don’t you think your appetite is too big? Since when did you have the right to want the things that belong to Sea Spirit City?” Jun Wu Xie coldly retorted.

  Ruan Zhongshan leaned back and tilted his chin up and scoffed: “Whether or not my appetite is big, you will know soon. Hmph, Yan Hai, I see that you are young and ignorant that’s why I gave you a way out. Did you think that after you have the elixir, you would be invincible in the world? Your little Sea Spirit City can’t withstand the glory of your treasure. I advise you to know the current affairs and honestly give me the formula and obediently provide the Sea Spirit Beasts and I may still leave you a way to live, but if you don’t know how to act, then don’t blame me for being rude! Your tiny Sea Spirit City is just but a mere speck, it can’t even be placed in my eyes!”


  “I won’t give you anything, but I would like to see how rude you would be.” Jun Wu Xie looked at Ruan Zhongshan coldly as her eyes narrowed slightly.

  Ruan Zhongshan sneered condescendingly at Jun Wu Xie and said with a mirth, “You can give it a try, can you handle my Long Xuan City’s pressure? Little brat, don’t think that just by being the City Lord of Sea Spirit City, everything would be easy. Sea Spirit City is a fart in eyes of the 72 cities! If not for needing your group of waste to provide Sea Spirit Beasts, did you really think that you can keep such a broken place? ”


  “Let me tell you! I am here for the formula in your hand, you have to give it whether or not you want to! My 20,000 strong army of Long Xuan City is a mile away from your Sea Spirit City! If you don’t be obedient and hand the formula to me, do you believe that I will let the three words ‘Sea Spirit City’ disappear forever in the Upper Realm tomorrow?! ”


  Ruan Zhongshan thoroughly revealed his plan in front of Jun Wu Xie. Everything happened as her expectations.

  Under Ruan Zhongshan’s show of his oppressive might, Jun Wu Xie remained unmoved. She looked coldly at Ruan Zhongshan who threatened her and replied lightly, “I don’t believe.”


  Ruan Zhongshan’s eyes narrowed slightly. Jun Wu Xie was definitely the toughest nut he had ever encountered. Be it either a hard or soft approach, none worked. Despite revealing about the army to pressure her into aceeding to his request in desperation, but now it seems that things did not head in the direction he had expected. Looking at Jun Wu Xie’s cold and proud appearance, she had not been affected by it at all!

  “Let’s wait and see.” Ruan Zhongshan stood up indignantly, and Xu Zu and others aside stood up one after another.

  When he saw Ye Sha step forward, Ruan Zhongshan sneered, “Why? You still want to detain me, with just this bunch of garbage here? Do you think you have the abilities?”


  Jun Wu Xie raised her hand at this moment to stop Ye Sha.

  “Let him go, I’d like to see if it’s my Sea Spirit City or Long Xuan City that disappears from the Upper Realm.”


  Ye Sha stepped back silently when he heard this.

  Ruan Zhongshan’s face was a little displeased, Jun Wu Xie’s arrogance had already exceeded his expectations.

  “Let’s go!” Ruan Zhongshan flourished his sleeves angrily and left with his men.

  After Ruan Zhongshan left, Jun Wu Xie still sat motionless in her chair, as if nothing had happened.

  After a short while, Jun Wu Xie raised her eyes slightly and looked at Ye Sha at the side: “Left already?”


  The words were strange, it seemed as if they were talking about Ruan Zhongshan, yet it also sounded as if they were talking about someone else.

  Ye Sha nodded and said, “Yes, there’s no one left.”


  A sneer flashed at the bottom of her eyes.

  Misty Cloud Translations

  At this moment, Qiao Chu and others walked out from behind the hall. When Ruan Zhongshan came, they had all stayed hidden behind the back of the hall and heard everything that Ruan Zhongshan said. Jun Wu Yao had set a barrier up prior to the meeting and it was made in such a way that Ruan Zhongshan could not discover their presence and had no idea that there were people behind that were watching everything.

  “I didn’t expect that the moment Ruan Zhongshan made his appearance, he would make our plan proceed so well. Little Xie, do you think that the person hiding in the dark was sent by Ruan Zhongshan?” Fan Zhuo sat down on the chair nearest to him as he asked in curiosity. From the moment Ruan Zhongshan had entered the main hall with his entourage, they had noticed that another presence had sneaked into the main hall and stayed hidden in the dark, watching everything in the main hall from start to the end. It only disappeared soon after Ruan Zhongshan left.

  The reason why Jun Wu Xie had a moment of silence after Ruan Zhongshan left was precisely because she discovered the existence of that person.

  “No.” Jun Wu Xie shook her head. That person’s breath was very faint. If one didn’t pay extra attention, it would not be easy to detect. He was obviously a master who was good at concealing his own spiritual power. Otherwise, it would not be possible to avoid Ruan Zhongshan’s perception.

  “Ruan Zhongshan is quite arrogant. Since he dared to tear off his mask in front of me, he would not go to the extent of sending someone to observe in the dark. I think that person’s appearance may have been an unexpected gain.” The edge of Jun Wu Xie’s lips curled up slightly.

  She thought that the bait they released could only catch Ruan Zhongshan, but she did not expect to catch an unexpected harvest.

  “Who was that?” Fan Zhuo asked with some confusion. That person had entered and left along with Ruan Zhongshan, it was obvious that he had come together with him. Now that Sea Spirit City was already in the hands of Jun Wu Xie, not to mention that there were the members of the Night Regime everywhere, so how else could a mysterious person appear?

  She did not rush to respond to Fan Zhuo’s question but raised her gaze to Ye Mei who walked in from the side.

  “What have you found out?”


  Ye Mei was responsible for all the movements in the City Lord’s manor. To sneak into the City Lord’s manor, that person would already be under the close surveillance of the Night Regime.

  “When that man came, he was masked so we couldn’t see his face clearly. But in terms of his breath, his strength should be of one who is able to condense out spirit inscriptions, but the amount he can condense is only a small amount. He followed Ruan Zhongshan as he entered the manor, so he is unlikely a person from Sea Spirit City.” Ye Mei informed her of his findings. From the moment the man entered the City Lord’s manor, each and every move of his had been intently recorded down by Ye Mei. The reason why he did not take him down was to avoid alerting the enemy.

  “Let someone check it out,” Jun Wu Xie said indifferently. If that person was not sent by Ruan Zhongshan, yet his strength was at such a strong level that could condense out spirit inscriptions, it meant that his origin was definitely not simple. If he wasn’t from Long Xuan City, it could only mean that he was a person from other cities.

  Ye Mei saluted and immediately retreated to arrange everything.

  Qiao Chu couldn’t help but ask, “Little Xie, you’re letting Ruan Zhongshan off the hook so easily? That guy’s mouth should be washed thoroughly! He had spoken to such an extent, why aren’t you going to get rid of him since he’s here?”


  When Ruan Zhongshan thought he could kill Jun Wu Xie in seconds, he didn’t know that in the eyes of Qiao Chu and the others, a person who could condense out spirit inscriptions at Ruan Zhongshan’s level, all Jun Wu Xie needed was to lift a finger. For Jun Wu Xie who could condense out two Spirit Rings, it was a simple feat to kill Ruan Zhongshan!

  Jun Wu Xie shook her head and replied: “It’s not time…… yet.”


  “What do you mean?” Qiao Chu scratched his head.

  Misty Cloud Translations

  Misty Cloud Translations

  “It’s easy to kill Ruan Zhongshan, but by simply killing him, we can’t make things bigger. Only by letting Long Xuan City’s elite be defeated in the hands of Sea Spirit City can the other City Lords of the 72 cities realize the changes in Sea Spirit City. “Jun Wu Xie explained patiently.

  To Jun Wu Xie, Ruan Zhongshan was just but a jumping clown. She did not even have any interest in him, let alone to rouse any anger. She had planned for so long and even gave Xu Zu so much “news”. It was not such a simple plan to kill Ruan Zhongshan alone.

  What she wanted was to make the whole Upper Realm know that there was something wrong with Sea Spirit City!

  Only by constantly creating conflicts, can her plan proceed along perfectly.

  Qiao Chu still had some queries but Hua Yao who could no longer take the baffled expression on Qiao Chu’s face continued to explain further: “What Little Xie means, is to use the battle between Long Xuan City and Sea Spirit City to stir things up and make the whole thing even bigger. If Little Xie kills Ruan Zhongshan, the other City Lords of the 72 cities would only that that Little Xie is the only strong person. But what if it was the entire Sea Spirit City that they had always looked down upon could easily destroy Long Xuan City? Then the effect would be completely different. ”


  The strength of one person was not really the revelation of strength. It’s difficult for two fists to defeat four fists and there is always the possibility of defeat.

  But the strength of a city cannot be shaken and the final result that Jun Wu Xie wanted was to make the 72 cities realize …… that if Sea Spirit City suddenly changed from being such a weak city to such a strong city, what was odd about it? As long as their suspicions have been raised, then the news about the elixir previously released by Jun Wu Xie would soon take root in the heart of those City Lords.

  The subsequent scramble …… would surely continue!

  This was the result that Jun Wu Xie wanted; a chess game that was large enough to drag all 72 cities into the quagmire!

  For the Upper Realm, this was definitely the beginning of a nightmare.

  The sudden revelation that appeared on Qiao Chu’s face had completely revealed his admiration for Jun Wu Xie who had thought of such a meticulous plan. It was a strategy that required foresight! Even if the people in the Upper Realm were clever and always in strife, it was still impossible to discover the true purpose of Jun Wu Xie.

  “Tomorrow, Ruan Zhongshan will launch an attack on Sea Spirit City. Let’s all rest for today. Give them a good beating tomorrow.” Jun Wu Xie slowly got up, the prelude to the play had been performed, all that was left was to watch the performance of the Night Regime and the Ghost Army.

  As soon as Qiao Chu and others heard that there was a fight, they were all riled up as they stood up in cheers as they swung their fists around. They could not wait to fight with the people from Long Xuan City, and even wanted to start the fight immediately.

  On the contrary, Jun Wu Xie did not even have the slightest change in emotion.

  The opponent was too weak, so weak that she could not even muster up a sliver of interest to fight.

  At the same time, following the departure of Ruan Zhongshan, a man in black quietly left from outside the City Lord’s manor and very soon disappeared into an inconspicuous house within Sea Spirit City.

  That humble house seemed to have been uninhabited for a long time, and it was a little dilapidated, but a slender figure sat quietly in the house.

  When the man in black landed in the courtyard, Zheng Weilong who was sitting in the courtyard also raised her eyes and looked at Ah Da who had returned in a hurry.

  “How was it?” Zheng Weilong was wearing a plain black robe which was the same as the soldiers of Long Xuan City. She posed as a soldier of Long Xuan City a few days ago and mixed in with the army. She joined the army that was stationed outside Sea Spirit City as Ah Da sneaked into Sea Spirit City.

  When Ruan Zhongshan led people into the city to find Jun Wu Xie, Ah Da who had been observing in secret started to follow him.

  Misty Cloud Translations

  Misty Cloud Translations

  Ah Da was not a person from Diminishing Moon City. He was a person whom Zheng Weilong had rescued back from the brink of death when she was younger. He was very skilled, but he almost died under the pursuit of his enemies.

  In the Upper Realm where relationships between humans were fragile and weak, it was rare to meet someone like like Ah Da who valued morality. He started to follow by Zheng Weilong’s side after he managed to survive to repay her life-saving grace. He stayed by her side and protected the weak her who had no spirit power. Before Zheng Weilong became an adult, Ah Da had lost count of the number of assassination attempts he had fended off from her ‘brothers and sisters.

  In terms of strength, if compared with Ruan Zhongshan, Ah Da’s ability to condense spirit inscriptions was similar, but in terms of stealth, Ah Da prevailed.

  Ah Da immediately told Zheng Weilong everything he heard in the City Lord’s manor.

  She did not speak for a long time after hearing his report as she sought to digest the startling information.

  “You mean, the reason why Ruan Zhongshan worked so hard to move the army was all for a formula of an elixir that belongs to Sea Spirit City?” Zheng Weilong furrowed her brows slightly after she heard his report.

  When he started amassing his army, she already felt that something was off. If not for that, she wouldn’t have snuck along, but it had never crossed her mind that all Ruan Zhongshan did would actually be for an elixir’s formula?

  Immediately, the thought that crossed her mind was that the formula was definitely not something simple! She was sure about it!

  “When Sea Spirit City stopped the supply of Sea Spirit Beasts, Ruan Zhongshan sent someone to Sea Spirit City to enquire, but then it seemed like something happened ……” Zheng Weilong narrowed her eyes as she thought back about Ruan Zhongshan’s slightly odd behavior before his departure. She immediately discovered what was odd about it and she asked: “Do you remember the person whom Ruan Zhongshan brought into his residence for a short time?”


  Ah Da nodded.

  “What’s was odd about that person?”


  Ah Da thought for a moment before saying: “The man has been to the City Lord’s manor once before. Ruan Zhongshan originally sent him to Sea Spirit City. He was not very powerful, but after he entered the City Lord’s manor for the second time and after he stayed there for a period, his strength suddenly soared. Although he still did not breakthrough to the peak of the Gold Spirit, he’s definitely much stronger than before.”


  Ah Da paused and said, “Hmm……I felt that it was a little strange before. There are many geniuses in the Upper Realm, but those people had shown a certain talent when they’re just a few years old. However, that person has passed the age. In terms of his original strength, he is not considered to be exceptionally talented, but he has made great progress in such a short period of time. This situation is intriguing. ”


  Xu Zu’s sudden increase in strength has garnered Ah Da’s attention. With Ah Da’s ramblings, Zheng Weilong fell into contemplation.

  Long Xuan City, Sea Spirit City, surge of spirit power, sudden interruption of supply of Sea Spirit Beasts, and a formula that Ruan Zhongshan led the army to snatch ……

  All the clues started to click together in Zheng Weilong’s mind, and gradually connected ……

  Suddenly, Zheng Weilong opened her eyes.

  “The formula for an elixir that could increase one’s strength?” Zheng Weilong suddenly said with shock as she continued to mumble to herself, “That’s right! The formula that Ruan Zhongshan wants must be a formula that can increase one’s strength! And that formula must use a lot of Sea Spirit Beasts as materials…… No wonder …… No wonder Sea Spirit City would suddenly interrupt all supplies to the 72 cities!”


  At this moment, Zheng Weilong’s heart suddenly started beating faster as all the answers that came together made her shocked!

  Misty Cloud Translations

  Misty Cloud Translations

  Zheng Weilong’s speculation not only surprised her, but even Ah Da was shocked!

  Ah Da looked at Zheng Weilong, who was shocked, but he already believed her speculation.

  Zheng Weilong was the lowest rubbish in the Upper Realm. Even if she was facing the aura of the mistress of the Discerning Moon City, she still received respect and favour. However, when her innate talent for spiritual cultivation was removed, she was given another specialty, wisdom.

  Zheng Weilong’s cleverness surpassed everyone that Ah Da had ever seen. If it wasn’t because she was born without the ability to cultivate spiritual power, with her wisdom, combined with a good innate ability, even the current Discerning Moon City Lord would not be able to hold her back.

  “Miss, do you mean …… the change in Sea Spirit City was because there is a formula that can enhance one’s spirit power?” Ah Da asked in surprise.

  Zheng Weilong frowned, “According to the current clues, this should be the case. Did you not notice that the mood of the people in the Sea Spirit City is a bit strange? The reason why Sea Spirit City is reduced to its current state is tied in with the weakness of its city dwellers. Although I have no spiritual power, and I can’t sense their strength, but after we entered the city, based on the behaviour of those people we have seen, they did not seem like those who have low powers. In fact …… I have a feeling that the strength of these people in Sea Spirit City are likely to be higher than Long Xuan City, moreover, it can be comparable to Discerning Moon City.”


  Zheng Weilong’s analysis hit the main points, and despite having few clues in this situation, she had completely discerned the situation created by Jun Wu Xie.

  When Ah Da heard Zheng Weilong say this, he suddenly remembered that almost none of the Sea Spirit City people they saw when they entered the city was at a level lower than Gold Spirit.

  Although they didn’t see many people, this probability was already amazing!

  “So it is no wonder that Yan Hai can be so calm when facing the threat of Ruan Zhongshan. As it turns out that he already has such a big gambling chip in his hands.” Ah Da recalled Jun Wu Xie’s calmness and arrogance. At first, he thought that Jun Wu Xie was young and had no sense of propriety but now it seemed that it was not the case.

  “Something’s wrong.” Zheng Weilong suddenly changed the direction of the discussion. “Although the strength of Sea Spirit City has improved, Ruan Zhongshan came this time alone to find trouble, and because of his overconfidence, he did not bring enough men. To repel Long Xuan City, the best solution is for Yan Hai to kill Ruan Zhongshan in the City Lord’s manor. Once Ruan Zhongshan dies in the hands of Yan Hai, then the soldiers of Long Xuan City will have no leader, and no more combat prowess. But …… Why did Yan Hai give up such a great opportunity? Since he has the confidence to repel Long Xuan City, why didn’t he make the first move? Instead, he gave Ruan Zhongshan a chance to attack?”


  A huge knot lingered in Zheng Weilong’s heart. She could not fully read Jun Wu Xie’s approach clearly. Vaguely, she felt that she must be missing something.

  “Maybe the kid is too confident. After all, he is young, and even if he is astute, he won’t be able to cover everything. The young are full of vigor. He holds the gambling chips in his own hands, so he may be so careless.” Ah Da guessed.

  “Is that so?” Zheng Weilong’s brows did not relax, she had an inkling that things were not as simple as Ah Da said.

  Sea Spirit City’s actions during this time were slightly high-profile. Was this because of Jun Wu Xie’s youthful arrogance or something else?

  Misty Cloud Translations

  Misty Cloud Translations

  “Let’s continue to observe.” Zheng Weilong couldn’t be sure in that instant.

  “Miss doesn’t plan to tell Ruan Zhongshan about this?” Ah Da looked at Zheng Weilong. The reason why the Lord of Discerning Moon City sent Zheng Weilong to Long Xuan City was very clear. He intended to betroth Zheng Weilong to Ruan Zhongshan to win over Long Xuan City.

  Discerning Moon City was not in a low position among the 72 cities, but Zheng Weilong’s father schemed for more than that. Several ladies of Discerning Moon City have been arranged to be sent to other cities, although not yet. The news had yet to be completely released, but at the present moment, the intent was clear.

  Zheng Weilong looked at Ah Da and sneered suddenly.

  “How can I not understand the meaning of my father, but Ah Da, I am not willing! I won’t resign to it! I, Zheng Weilong have no spiritual power, and I am a waste in everyone’s eyes. The influence of Long Xuan City is not essential to Discerning Moon City. But still, my father has sent me here. Obviously to him, the value of my usefulness is pitiful. I don’t like father or Ruan Zhongshan. I don’t want to be a waste forever. This time, maybe this is an opportunity. Ah Da, I want to take a gamble.”


  Zheng Weilong unleashed these things that had been buried in her heart for a long time, and only to Ah Da, she dared to say these things.

  She, Zheng Weilong, had asked herself, apart from spiritual power, she was not lacking in other areas when compared to others. But, in a place like the Upper Realm where the weak were prey to the strong, she was not even given a chance to prove herself.

  She was a pawn, an almost discarded pawn ……

  Ah Da fell into silence, watching a rare show of Zheng Weilong’s discontent, he was left speechless. He had watched Zheng Weilong grow up. He knew Zheng Weilong’s intelligence and wisdom better than anyone else. If Zheng Weilong was given some opportunities, she would have displayed greater use and purpose, but unfortunately, no one gave her this opportunity …… she had no right to say no ……

  “Ah Da is willing to lay down the ground for Miss. As long as Miss orders it, Ah Da will do my best to complete it!” Ah Da knelt on one knee and showed great loyalty to Zheng Weilong.

  Zheng Weilong nodded, took a deep breath, and she felt a strange feeling lingering in her heart. This time, she had a hunch that she was right in coming to Sea Spirit City!

  Once the master and servant had finished talking, a figure quietly left the house’s courtyard. Ah Da and Zheng Weilong did not realise that their conversation was clearly heard by someone else.

  The spy from Night Regime returned to the City Lord’s manor, and told Jun Wu Xie everything he heard.

  Jun Wu Xie raised her eyebrows slightly, as she did not expect that there was such an interesting “guest” in the Sea Spirit City.

  “The Young Miss of Discerning Moon City, this is interesting.” Jun Wu Xie glanced down slightly, stroking the soft fur of Little Black. Zheng Weilong’s cleverness caught her attention, but Jun Xu Xie was more interested in the discontent of Zheng Weilong.

  A discarded chess piece, abandoned by the world, may have unexpected power.

  “What are you thinking of?” Jun Wu Yao sat with one hand supporting his chin as he looked at Jun Wu Xie’s subtle expression, and he already knew that his wife had thought of something extraordinary.

  “I’m not sure yet, for now, let’s have someone continue to watch them. We should resolve this issue with Long Xuan City first.” Jun Wu Xie wanted to see if Zheng Weilong had any value in cooperation.

  Misty Cloud Translations

  Misty Cloud Translations

  Speaking of which, Ruan Zhongshan immediately returned to the camp where Long Xuan City’s army was stationed, after leaving Sea Spirit City. The 20,000 soldiers from Long Xuan City were already aggressive.

  Ruan Zhongshan returned to the camp commander filled with anger, and as soon as he was seated, he smashed a tea cup on the table.

  “Ignorant fool!” Ruan Zhongshan cursed, frowning angrily.

  Xu Zu carefully stood aside as he saw Ruan Zhongshan’s anger, but in his heart he was ecstatic.

  Jun Wu Xie had annoyed Ruan Zhongshan this time, she not only refuted Ruan Zhongshan, but even directly challenged the dignity of Ruan Zhongshan, and he simply couldn’t bear it.

  At this moment, Jun Wu Xie was as good as dead!

  “Please be appeased my Lord. Why do you care about such an ignorant brat? I don’t think he is a capable lord; he thinks that he can rest easy after securing Sea Spirit City. What he doesn’t know is that there will always be someone better than him. Since he doesn’t know how to appreciate my Lord, then my Lord need not be polite with him. Sea Spirit City is so close to our Long Xuan City, it should have been placed in the sphere of influence our city long ago. Let’s sort them out this time; not only will we obtain the prescription, we will also be able to control the resources of the Sea Spirit City. Isn’t this great?” Xu Zu couldn’t wait for Jun Wu Xie to receive a tragic end, and thus he continued to fan the flames of Ruan Zhongshan’s anger.

  “Hmph! A waste like him, I can crush him with one hand. What you said makes sense. He is shameless. Since the Sea Spirit City Lord doesn’t want to do it, then he should be a quiet as a dead person. I want the formula, and I want Sea Spirit City too! “Ruan Zhongshan narrowed his eyes, alight with greed.

  To formulate the elixir, a large number of Sea Spirit Beasts were needed. If one owns the Sea Spirit City, then one could refine the elixir in large quantities, which was more convenient than seeking the cooperation of the Sea Spirit City. Much more……

  “Yes, yes, yes, these things should belong to you, my Lord.” Xu Zu nodded again and again.

  “Immediately pass my order, the army is to be ready to slaughter the Sea Spirit City with me tomorrow morning!” Ruan Zhongshan sneered. He had given Jun Wu Xie a choice. Since she wanted to die, he would fulfil her wish!

  “I will do it now!” Xu Zu didn’t say anything more, as he immediately went to convey Ruan Zhongshan’s order.

  The soldiers of Long Xuan City were soon ready to fight. However, this battle did not cause any trace of tension in them. In the minds of all Long Xuan City soldiers, Sea Spirit City was weak. If they wanted to capture the Sea Spirit City, for them, it was easy as flipping a hand.

  In the early morning of the next day, when the first rays of sunlight fell on the Sea Spirit City, dissipating the darkness and bringing light, Ruan Zhongshan was already seated on a high-headed horse, dressed in heavy armour. The Long Xuan City soldiers advanced towards the Sea Spirit City!

  The whole battalion rushed forward, and it didn’t take long for the 20,000 troops to reach the Sea Spirit City.

  Ruan Zhongshan stood at the forefront of the battalion, the killing intent boiling over as he looked at the peaceful Sea Spirit City.

  After today, those three words “Sea Spirit City” will forever disappear from the Upper Realm. From then on, this land will belong to Long Xuan City and to him!

  Thinking of this, Ruan Zhongshan couldn’t help raising his chin and called out with an extremely arrogant voice:

  “Yan Hai! You little bastard, come and receive your death from me!”


  Misty Cloud Translations

  Misty Cloud Translations

  Ruan Zhongshan used his strong spiritual power to amplify his roar throughout Sea Spirit City.

  Two shadows quietly hid in the forest outside the Sea Spirit City.

  Zheng Weilong watched as Ruan Zhongshan stood arrogantly in front of his army, her gaze swept across the elite troops of Long Xuan City behind Ruan Zhongshan.

  Ruan Zhongshan had made preparations for war while he was still in Long Xuan City, so the 20,000 men he brought were the bravest and apt in battle soldiers of Long Xuan City, and he was fully prepared when he left the city. Now as he stood just outside of Sea Spirit City, his manner imposing and turbulent, they looked ferocious and ready to slaughter.

  “Although Long Xuan City’s army is not as good as Discerning Moon City’s army, it is still pretty good. Ah Da, did you find out if Sea Spirit City made any preparations from before?” Zheng Weilong whispered to Ah Da, who was beside her.

  Ah Da shook his head.

  “Sea Spirit City was normal yesterday, and I did not find any movement to gather the troops within the city.”


  This was strange because just yesterday Ruan Zhongshan had uttered such harsh words in front of Jun Wu Xie. And because Jun Wu Xie was not a fool, she would know that Run Zhongshan was not joking this time. Since she let Ruan Zhongshan go, then she must have a certain confidence.

  It stood to reason that yesterday was the last chance for Jun Wu Xie to prepare, but for a whole day, the Sea Spirit City was abnormally calm. The pedestrians on the street were natural and there was no sense of urgency to prepare for the war. Just this morning when Ah Da took Zheng Weilong out of the city to observe the war, there was still no army presence to be found in Sea Spirit City.

  Zheng Weilong frowned slightly, as she now had no idea what Jun Wu Xie wanted to do. Long Xuan City’s army had already reached the gates of Sea Spirit City. Wasn’t Jun Wu Xie going to send her troops to defend the city?

  Just as Zheng Weilong was in doubt, the gates of Sea Spirit City opened slowly, and the heavy, groaning sound was even more piercing in the silence of the morning. After the gates opened, a lanky figure slowly walked out of the city.

  Sitting on his tall horse, Ruan Zhongshan squinted his eyes at the figure coming out of Sea Spirit City, and he laughed suddenly.

  “Has the kid Yan Hai pissed himself in fear? That he even sent out a piece of garbage like you?” Ruan Zhongshan said sarcastically, as he looked at the man who came out of Sea Spirit City. That man was not a stranger, in fact that man had received them yesterday in the City Lord’s manor. The housekeeper!

  Ye Sha wore a simple gray coat, his back against Sea Spirit City as he walked in front of the army of Long Xuan City. He was tall and strong, with grave and stern face; there was no longer a smile like yesterday. Even as he faced the 20,000 strong army alone, there was not the slightest hint of timidity and fear within his eyes. He stood proudly in the wind, letting the breeze lift the corner of his clothes.

  When Xu Zu saw Ye Sha, he was stunned. He thought that no matter what a waste Jun Wu Xie was, she would have quickly gathered the troops to prepare for the enemy. But who would have thought that instead of soldiers walking out of the fates, it was the housekeeper?

  “Is this all you’ve got, Yan Hai? Does he really think that by throwing his housekeeper out, he will be able to deal with my 20,000 strong troops?” Ruan Zhongshan sneered in disdain, and Sea Spirit City’s response seemed almost like a joke to him.

  Ye Sha looked up slightly, and his cold, domineering gaze swept across the people from Long Xuan City.

  “The City Lord has a message for you.” Ye Sha opened his mouth.

  “Oh? Isn’t it too late to kneel and beg for mercy? Just yesterday, Yan Hai was still being arrogant.” Ruan Zhongshan sneered.

  Misty Cloud Translations

  Misty Cloud Translations

  Ruan Zhongshan thought that Jun Wu Xie was frightened and did not dare to come forward and instead, sent Ye Sha out to ask for forgiveness. Thus, in his heart, he dismissed Jun Wu Xie even more.

  “Go back and tell Yan Hai that little bastard that it’s too late! I gave him enough opportunities yesterday to make a choice. He was too arrogant and gave up his last chance. He wants me to retreat today? Don’t say it is you, even if he climbed out of the city in person, and knelt in front of me, begging for mercy, I will not retreat! Let him wait for his impending death!” Ruan Zhongshan sneered proudly, showing his arrogance.

  The 20,000 Long Xuan City soldiers behind him let out a resound roar at his mad words.

  Ruan Zhongshan was very proud, and he increasingly felt that Sea Spirit City already belonged to him.

  However, at this moment when the vigour of the Long Xuan City troops was at its peak, a harsh, shrill sound suddenly ripped off the soldiers’ roar. An arrow burst into the air and shot straight at Ruan Zhongshan’s horse’s hoof!

  The sudden appearance of the arrow shocked the originally calm horse, causing it to whine!

  Ruan Zhongshan was almost kicked off his horse!

  Long Xuan City’s noisy army also fell into silence at this moment!

  Suddenly, rows of soldiers started appearing along the city gate towers of Sea Spirit City. Each person held a longbow, bowstring pulled taut, ready to fire. There were nearly a thousand people in number, and nearly a thousand arrow tips, all aimed at Ruan Zhongshan!

  Ruan Zhongshan’s face became extremely ugly in an instant!

  Ye Sha looked at the 20,000 soldiers who had finally “calmed down”, and then he said, “Did no one tell you that you should wait for others to finish speaking before you respond?”


  Ruan Zhongshan’s eyes widened, and he opened his mouth to speak again. There was a bang on the city wall, and all the archers moved the tips of their arrows slightly forward. The intent was obvious. All the arrows were facing Ruan Zhongshan. Ruan Zhongshan had a strong sense of self-confidence, but under such intensive attacks, he was afraid he wouldn’t emerge unscathed. He could only gnash his teeth and stared at Ye Sha.

  Ye Sha raised his lower jaw slightly, and with a hint of coldness and pride: “If Lord Ruan does not understand the rules, our Lord said that he doesn’t mind letting a thousand archers ‘teach’ you.”


  Ruan Zhongshan’s eyes widened at once. He thought with the soldiers that he brought, Jun Wu Xie would be scared witless. Who could have imagined that Jun Wu Xie had prepared so many archers waiting for him early in the morning!

  One person was not enough to fight against the 20,000-strong army of Long Xuan City but all of the thousand Sea Spirit City people were archers with bows and arrows, and their target was not others, only Ruan Zhongshan!

  Even if Ruan Zhongshan was ignorant, he already knew the meaning of Jun Wu Xie’s threat.

  If he dared to mess around again, the thousand archers will not bother with attacking the soldiers of Long Xuan City, and instead, turn him into a porcupine!

  Ruan Zhongshan stared at Ye Sha as he gritted his teeth and pressed down the bitterness in his heart, but he didn’t dare to say a word. His hands behind his back had begun to condense Spiritual Inscriptions, yet he still maintained his composure.

  Ye Sha looked at Ruan Zhongshan’s “cooperation” with satisfaction, and raised his eyebrows slightly: “Our City Lord said that today, if anyone from Long Xuan City dares to take one step towards Sea Spirit City, he will kill your 20,000 troops!”


  Ye Sha’s ruthless voice spoke out Jun Wu Xie’s admonition; the cold intent in his voice was transmitted to the soldiers’ ears and made them stunted.

  Misty Cloud Translations

  Misty Cloud Translations

  Jun Wu Xie made it clear that she was going to declare war with Long Xuan City!

  Ruan Zhongshan’s face was gloomy to the extreme, the malevolence on his face hinted on his anger that was on the verge of erupting!

  Sea Spirit City! Yan Hai!

  How dare he threaten him!

  The message passed on by Ye Sha not only made Ruan Zhongshan fly into a rage, but also made Zheng Weilong, who was hiding in the dark watching the battle, frown slightly.

  As far as their positions were concerned, they could clearly see that Ruan Zhongshan’s hands, which were behind him, have begun to condense the spiritual inscriptions. Once the spiritual inscriptions were condensed successfully, it would be quite easy to block the attacks of the arrows!

  “Miss, what exactly is the Lord of the Sea Spirit City thinking? Does he really think that with only a thousand archers, he can force Ruan Zhongshan to retreat?” Ah Da looked dazedly at Zheng Weilong. The actions of Sea Spirit City puzzled him. It seemed to be strong, but upon careful thinking, it seemed strange. Even if the thousand archers launched an attack on Ruan Zhongshan at the same time, as long as Ruan Zhongshan’s spiritual inscriptions had been condensed, the damage caused by those bows would be almost zero, which was not enough to threaten Ruan Zhongshan’s safety.

  “I don’t know. The City Lord of Sea Spirit City is a bit devilish. Within a short time, I can’t seem to tell.” Zheng Weilong pursed her lips. Jun Wu Xie’s actions for the past two days puzzled Zheng Weilong. She didn’t know what kind of temperament the City Lord of Sea Spirit City possessed, thus her judgement was greatly restricted.

  Just as Zheng Weilong and Ah Da conversed, Ruan Zhongshan’s spiritual inscriptions had finished condensing!

  The previous repression was swallowed by fury at this moment, and Ruan Zhongshan’s body was covered with a layer of ice-blue light! Strong spiritual power drew around him, and a stream of air rose up!

  “You have a death wish!” Ruan Zhongshan stared at Ye Sha fiercely, and the airflow blew his hair up, making his already sinister face looked even more horrible!

  “Damn your mother, Yan Hai! How dare you threaten me? A little bastard like him! I want to see if he can even touch me as I stomp all over Sea Spirit City today!” Ruan Zhongshan spat viciously. Spiritual inscriptions scattered with ice-blue light rays flickered around him, although it was not as strong as the light from the Spirit Rings, but it still held strong spiritual power.

  He lifted his head up suddenly and looked at the thousand archers on the wall of Sea Spirit City and sneered: “Based on these little things, you want to hurt me? Just try it! If you can hurt a single strand of my hair, I will consider you worthy!”


  Ruan Zhongshan’s shouting was piercing and Xu Zu’s mood undulated along as well. His eyes shone with malice while he laughed secretly within his heart.

  Ruan Zhongshan already harbored a deep hatred for Jun Wu Xie. Now, since Jun Wu Xie was acting recklessly, she even ran out to threaten Ruan Zhongshan. Wasn’t she courting death?

  Xu Zu could almost imagine what a terrible end it would be for Yan Hai when he fell into Ruan Zhongshan’s hands after Sea Spirit City was breached ……

  However, in the face of Ruan Zhongshan’s shouting, Ye Sha did not react at all. The archers standing along the tower suddenly relaxed their bowstrings, and the sharp arrows were also withdrawn.

  The situation seemed to turn around at this moment. The restraint exercised by Long Xuan City’s army before seemed to have vanished as the flames of aggression were rekindled once again. One by one, full of vigor, they banged their weapons on the ground; making a deafening noise!

  Misty Cloud Translations

  Misty Cloud Translations

  Long Xuan City’s army approached Sea Spirit City step by step with a heavy voice, and the situation turned into crisis.

  However ……

  Ye Sha, who was standing away from the gates of Sea Spirit City, looked calm, and there was a hint of killing intent in his eyes.

  Just as Ruan Zhongshan’s horse was about 50 meters away from Sea Spirit City, a voice sounded suddenly.

  “Ruan Zhongshan, this is your choice.” The voice was aloof.

  When the voice reached Ruan Zhongshan’s ears, he looked up to locate the source of the voice!

  He saw a refined figure standing quietly in the wind, on the gate tower of Sea Spirit City, the figure’s simple yet elegant white dress billowing in the breeze!

  Jun Wu Xie stood on an elevation and looked down at the 20,000 soldiers that surrounded Sea Spirit City. There was no fear in her cold face, but there was an added a kind of indifference and an imposing manner that cannot be ignored!

  Obviously, it was a thin figure but it gave people a feeling that the figure cannot be defeated.

  Ruan Zhongshan recovered from his shock and looked at Jun Wu Xie with his eyes filled with a frantic and violent rage, “Yan Hai! You finally dare to show yourself! It’s good that you’ve appeared so that you can see for yourself, how I completely destroy your Sea Spirit City! Attack!”


  Ruan Zhongshan shouted his command and the Long Xuan City army rushed forward!

  Xu Zu took point and led a team of men to the main entrance of Sea Spirit City!

  As long as Jun Wu Xie’s head was cut off, he was bound to become famous in battle!

  With that strong desire, Xu Zu growled and rushed forward. His first target was Ye Sha, who was standing in front of the gate!

  “Trash! Die!!!” The spiritual power in Xu Zu’s hands surged and slammed into Ye Sha.

  Ye Sha could not be moved like a mountain, a sharp killing intent flashed across his cold eyes!

  The moment Xu Zu rushed in front of Ye Sha, Ye Sha’s figure suddenly disappeared. Everything happened so fast that Xu Zu couldn’t react at all!

  Xu Zu was startled, and before he could react, a grave pressure was emitted from his head resulting in a pitiful wail from his mouth. His entire head was smashed into the ground in an instant!

  The sudden turn in battle left all the soldiers behind Xu Zu dumbfounded, their footsteps halted as they watched Ye Sha step on the back of Xu Zu’s head, and pushing it right into the soil. The dark brown soil was slowly covered in blood, and in the midst of the pool of blood, one could see some brain matter floating……

  All the soldiers were stunned as they stared in horror at the bloody picture in front of them. The pool of blood filled their eyes as Xu Zu laid motionless on the ground, seemingly dead.

  After Xu Zu took the elixir made by Jun Wu Xie, his strength had advanced by leaps and bounds. Although he still lacked a bit more to break into the peak level of the Gold Spirit, he could still stabilise Gold Spirit at an intermediate level. But, a strong exponent like him was simply smashed by the steward of Sea Spirit City’s official residence ……

  In an instant, the aggression and arrogance of the Long Xuan City’s soldiers were suppressed to an extreme that no sound was heard further.

  Ruan Zhongshan, who was sitting behind, saw the whole process with his own eyes. Ye Sha’s shot was extremely fast, and that speed even surpassed the peak level of Gold Spirit. Otherwise, Xu Zu could not be killed in one shot.

  This person ……

  He was just a steward of Sea Spirit City’s official residence, but the strength he had displayed was similar to that of a Spiritual Inscription exponent!

  Misty Cloud Translations

  Misty Cloud Translations

  How was this possible?

  Ruan Zhongshan drew a breath of air as his previous haughtiness had somewhat dissipated.

  Long Xuan City’s arrogance was broken up by Ye Sha’s offense, and their progress towards Sea Spirit City was halted for the moment.

  Even Zheng Weilong and Ah Da, who were hiding in the dark, were taken aback by Ye Sha’s strength.

  “Ah Da, that person’s strength …… How is compared to yours?” Zheng Weilong’s eyes widened slightly.

  “I am not too sure. He only used one move and that did not require spiritual power. I can’t judge for the time being, but at least his strength is comparable to that of Spiritual Inscriptions.” Ah Da replied.

  The strength of Ye Sha was one of the best in the Night Regime, second only to Ye Gu, and it was equivalent to Ye Mei. During the time of Jun Wu Yao’s disappearance, Ye Sha used up too much power looking for him, and not only that, he still had to fight continuously in battles. Thus, he did not have a chance to recover his strength. During the years when Jun Wu Xie lived in the Dark Region, Ye Sha was finally able to regain his strength to its peak, and his strength had exceeded Gold Spirit by a lot!

  Ye Sha raised his feet, and did not even spare a glance at the fallen Xu Zu. He still stood alone in front of the gates of Sea Spirit City, and yet no one dared to step forward.

  Ruan Zhongshan woke up from the shock. He never expected that Ye Sha’s strength to be so terrifying, but he did not intend to give up.

  “What are you afraid of? He’s just one person, kill him!” Ruan Zhongshan commanded coldly.

  But with Xu Zu’s body lying in front of Ye Sha, and the bloody picture really made those soldiers afraid to move.

  The 20,000-strong army fell in rigid.

  Ruan Zhongshan gritted his teeth silently, and he jumped up immediately and rushed at Ye Sha!

  The strength of the Spiritual Inscriptions exponent could not be compared to a reckless and impulsive person like Xu Zu. In the blink of an eye, Ruan Zhongshan had reached Ye Sha, and he raised his hand to attack!

  But at this moment, a white figure suddenly appeared in front of Ruan Zhongshan.

  Jun Wu Xie, who was standing on the tower before, now stood stiffly in front of Ruan Zhongshan.

  “Soldier against soldier, general against general. Aren’t you going to slaughter my entire Sea Spirit City? What will you do when I go head to head with you?” Jun Wu Xie’s lips curved up into a smirk, and that made Yan Hai’s face, which was originally delicate, instantly dazzling.

  Ruan Zhongshan was shocked. He didn’t even notice the moment that Jun Wu Xie moved to appear in front of him. Based on his strength, this was almost impossible. Even for exponents of the same Spiritual Inscription level, they could not completely avoid his awareness. However, Jun Wu Xie’s approach was too silent!

  “Yan Hai, you’re looking for death!” Ruan Zhongshan glared at Jun Wu Xie, his intention to kill her solidified.

  Jun Wu Xie looked calmly at the angry Ruan Zhongshan and crooked her fingers at him provocatively.

  “Try and kill me.”


  “Damn you!” Ruan Zhongshan had never received such a disdainful provocation in his life and he immediately rushed towards Jun Wu Xie with his full powers.

  Ruan Zhongshan’s actions brought those soldiers from Long Xuan City back to their minds. When they thought about how Ruan Zhongshan might go after them in the future, they dared not hesitate any longer and immediately rushed towards Ye Sha!

  At the same time, countless figures leapt from the walls of Sea Spirit City and stormed towards the army of Long Xuan City with a thunderous momentum!

  In the blink of an eye, the members of the Night Regime and Ghost Army had dispatched the army of Long Xuan City!

  The killing sound was endless, as it seemed to overturn the sky!

  Misty Cloud Translations

  Misty Cloud Translations

  The Sea Spirit City was covered in flames of war, the sounds of killing and anguished wailing mixed together as the pungent smell of blood permeated the air and entered the airways of everyone present!

  This confrontation, however, caused the soldiers of Long Xuan City to be caught in a huge panic. The strength of Sea Spirit City caught them off guard, and the powerful attack did not fall behind at all.

  Even after a brief fight, the soldiers of Long Xuan City fell into a severe defensive position!

  This situation didn’t seem possible to happen. How could the lowly Sea Spirit City, which was almost forgotten by the Upper Realm, have such a powerful fighting force?

  These people in front of them seem to not have come from Sea Spirit City, but from a stronger city!

  Shock shrouded the hearts of every Long Xuan City soldier. They didn’t even have time to think, they were scared witless by the attack from the Night Regime. Screams were ripped from the throats of the Long Xuan City soldiers, yet no sound came from the Night Regime nor Ghost Army – they were silent and deadly. At this moment, as the commander of Long Xuan City, Ruan Zhongshan had no time to take care of his men, because he was engaged in a difficult battle with Jun Wu Xie.

  Prior to the fight, Ruan Zhongshan didn’t pay attention to Jun Wu Xie’s strength at all. He thought he could defeat Jun Wu Xie in a matter of a few strokes, but after exchanging a couple of blows with Jun Wu Xie, he was shocked beyond belief.

  Jun Wu Xie’s speed was not inferior to him, she was even faster in her frequency of attack.

  Ruan Zhongshan was momentarily careless, and several key points on his body had been attacked by Jun Wu Xie many times. The heart-wrenching, immense pain caused Ruan Zhongshan’s forehead to be quickly covered with cold sweat, and his face became flushed.

  “Bastard, why are you so powerful?” Ruan Zhongshan grasped his chest, which was kicked by Jun Wu Xie, and panted heavily. If it were not for the fact that he guarded his vital points with spiritual inscriptions in time, Jun Wu Xie’s direct blow was enough to kill him!

  Since Ruan Zhongshan became the Lord of Long Xuan City, he had not been so embarrassed. With the increase of his strength and the improvement of his status, fewer and fewer people could fight him.

  Even in the face of those who want to snatch his title and had knocked on the gates to come and challenge, Ruan Zhongshan could handle them very easily. To say nothing of him being defeated, even getting injured was rare.

  However, after exchanging some blows with Jun Wu Xie, he has suffered more injuries now than the total number of injuries he had suffered in recent years!

  Ruan Zhongshan was horrified.

  How old was Jun Wu Xie?

  To even possess such fearsome strength, his own thousand-year cultivation cannot be compared to that little brat. No one would believe him if he said it out loud.

  Jun Wu Xie ignored the inquiry from Ruan Zhongshan, the attacks by her hands did not reduce, thereby forcing Ruan Zhongshan to mobilize all his spiritual inscriptions, and even then, he barely managed to cope with Jun Wu Xie’s offensive.

  In the melee, Qiao Chu and others have already switched on their killing mode. With their intense hatred of the Upper Realm, they were, at the moment, venting their frustrations and anger at the nearest objects; they each attacked the soldiers of Long Xuan City with a viciousness and ferociousness that terrified all the soldiers of Long Xuan City. The soldiers were so afraid that they didn’t dare to take a step closer!

  Misty Cloud Translations

  Misty Cloud Translations

  Crimson blood stained the figures of Qiao Chu and others, and they did not have so much ‘fun’ in a long time, the anger deep in their hearts had reaching a boiling point.

  “Come on! Let’s continue!” Qiao Chu stood on a pile of corpses, snarling at the terrified Long Xuan City soldiers. With only a pair of fists, he had already defeated many opponents. None of the blood dripping from his clenched fists belonged to him.

  That roar frightened the soldiers of Long Xuan City. They had never seen such rude and brutal opponent. Each bare-knuckle strike was vicious and accurate. The strength of Qiao Chu’s fists was indescribable; the brute strength of his one punch could cave a man’s chest. It was simply unbelievable.

  Compared with Qiao Chu’s crude and brutal blows, Hua Yao’s killing looked leisurely and elegant. He killed hundreds of enemies without any blood staining his body. After snapping off the head of a soldier from Long Xuan City, he looked up at Jun Wu Xie, who was fighting fiercely with Ruan Zhongshan, with a smile in his eyes.

  In the eyes of others, Ruan Zhongshan and Jun Wu Xie were almost evenly matched, but there was a slight discrepancy.

  In fact, Jun Wu Xie wasn’t even using one-tenth of her strength. What she was displaying right now was just the tip of the iceberg.

  If Jun Wu Xie’s true strength was revealed, Ruan Zhongshan would not be able to hold up till now. The moment he started fighting with Jun Wu Xie, he would have died a tragic death.

  However, what Jun Wu Xie wanted was not to kill him within seconds, but to prolong the inevitable, and also to conceal most of her power, thus she only used some random moves which would still completely ruin Ruan Zhongshan.

  This was the gap between Ruan Zhongshan and Jun Wu Xie, just like the difference between the clouds and mud.

  Poor Ruan Zhongshan was still struggling, he didn’t know that he was just a pawn in the hands of Jun Wu Xie. The reason why he can survive currently was not due to his strength but because Jun Wu Xie was taking it easy on him. Otherwise he can’t even be compared to a finger of Jun Wu Xie!

  The mighty Long Xuan City army faced a tough battle. They certainly did not expect that Sea Spirit City, which was never favored by anyone, had hidden such a terrible fighting power.

  Whether it was the Ye Sha, who had easily trampled on Xu Zu’s head, or the Night Regime and Ghost Army who were like gods of death, or even Jun Wu Xie who was pressing on and beating Ruan Zhongshan; Sea Spirit City had far surpassed anyone’s perception.

  The Sea Spirit City, which they thought they could easily crush, now became a nightmare to all of them.

  As more and more Long Xuan City soldiers fell, the nauseating scent of blood filled the air. Countless bodies lay strewn in front of the remaining people. Broken limbs everywhere, blood flowed continuously onto the ground, staining the earth a bloody red.

  A piece of hell.

  The soldiers of Long Xuan City were terrified as the shadow of death slowly surrounded them. Under the grave horror, they have lost their will to fight. They abandoned their armour and weapons and escaped while wishing they had an extra pair of legs to make their getaway faster.

  However, there was no leeway, and escape at this moment only accelerated their death.

  The soldiers who turned their backs to the Night Regime fell down one by one, and even at the moment of death, the soldiers of Long Xuan City could not accept reality……

  Misty Cloud Translations

  Misty Cloud Translations

  With such a one-sided situation occurring, Ah Da and Zheng Weilong, who were hiding in the forest, widened their eyes as they stared at everything on the battlefield.

  “This is …… the power of Sea Spirit City?” Zheng Weilong had some difficulty breathing. She had previously guessed what Jun Wu Xie might have prepared, but she did not expect Jun Wu Xie’s counterattack had turned out to be so simple and brutal.

  The strength of the Sea Spirit City had far exceeded Zheng Weilong’s expectations, a terrible idea appeared in her heart.

  She had a hunch that even if the army of Discerning Moon City met these people from Sea Spirit City, they would not have much chance of winning.

  “Ah Da, those in Sea Spirit City, their strength ……” Zheng Weilong turned to look at Ah Da, as she had no spiritual power, she could not tell what the strength of those in Sea Spirit City was, although just watching them defeat the Long Xuan City army, she felt that they were very powerful.

  “Very strong,” Ah Da said dumbly.

  “How strong?” Zheng Weilong couldn’t help asking.

  Ah Da thought for a moment before saying: “If you replace the army of Long Xuan City with the army of Discerning Moon City, I am afraid that the situation will not be too optimistic as well.”


  “What?” Zheng Weilong couldn’t help but take a sharp breath. She might have guessed it before, but after confirmation by Ah Da, she was still very surprised.

  You know, the strength of Discerning Moon City can be ranked among the top within the 72 cities, but Ah Da had said that even if Discerning Moon City fought against these people in Sea Spirit City, the situation will not be any better.

  Doesn’t this mean that the strength of the Sea Spirit City had already topped the 72 cities?

  With Sea Spirit City’s past, this conclusion was really unacceptable.

  “Their fighting strength may not be the most powerful, but their moves are very odd. I have observed the way they fight and found that there isn’t anything unnecessary with their fighting skills. Almost every move is life-ending move. “Ah Da replied.

  “What do you mean?” Zheng Weilong asked cautiously.

  “Although spiritual practitioners can rely on the level of spiritual power to determine the outcome, but how to maximize the use of spiritual power differs for each person. With the same level of spiritual power, how one makes a move will have great influence on the battle. Moreover, the weak might be able to defeat the strong. These people in Sea Spirit City use their spiritual powers with great efficiency and accuracy. As long as they hit their opponent, they are either dead or gravely injured. This fighting method is very effective, especially in terms of killing.” Ah Da frowned, it was clear that the strength of the Sea Spirit City had shocked him.

  What kind of city was the Sea Spirit City? No one in the Upper Realm knew about it. Who would believe that in a remote and lowly city like this, such a powerful combat power was hidden?

  It might come a day when the true strength of the Sea Spirit City would be exposed, and the ranking of the 72 cities would be rewritten!

  Zheng Weilong turned her head and looked at the murderous battlefield unblinkingly. On the chaotic battlefield, the white figure still entangled with Ruan Zhongshan really attracted Zheng Weilong’s attention.

  Even if she can’t perceive the spiritual power, she could clearly perceive that the strongest in the whole Sea Spirit City was the City Lord, Jun Wu Xie!

  Zheng Weilong watched Ruan Zhongshan get kicked by Jun Wu Xie and flew. The once-proud City Lord of Long Xuan City was thrown to the ground like a clay, and he vomited a lot of blood ……

  Misty Cloud Translations

  Misty Cloud Translations

  Ruan Zhongshan felt crushing pain throughout his whole body. Everything in front of him became blurred. In his line of sight, he could not no longer see appearance of Jun Wu Xie; only the vague white figure stood in front of him.

  Never before had such immense fear shroud Ruan Zhongshan’s heart. After claiming to be the Lord of Long Xuan City, he had never been so embarrassed as he was today. All of his pride was completely destroyed by the white demon in front of him. .

  Ruan Zhongshan shook his head violently, he could only hear a shrill ringing in his ears. Gradually, his vision cleared and he swept a glance through the battlefield and in that glance, everything he saw made his heart fall into a deep, dark pit.

  The bloody battlefield was at a loss. Those Long Xuan City soldiers who had once made him proud had lost their helmets and armor, utterly defeated. Those men who emerged from Sea Spirit City were like a frantic wave that quickly engulfed Long Xuan City.

  Over ……

  Everything was over.

  Ruan Zhongshan stumbled to his feet and it was not until this moment that he realized how much he had lost.

  If everything could be repeated, he would never make such a choice again.

  Unfortunately, everything is over.

  Jun Wu Xie looked coldly at Ruan Zhongshan, who was downtrodden, and slowly walked towards him.

  Ruan Zhongshan saw Jun Wu Xie approaching, his legs turned soft, and he fell onto the ground.

  He raised his head and looked at Jun Wu Xie, who was unscathed, and the fear in his eyes could no longer be hidden.

  “Wait …… wait a minute ……” Ruan Zhongshan lifted his hands which were full of blood, “I am wrong, I shouldn’t send troops to your Sea Spirit City, please forgive me …… I’ll leave right away …… Let’s pretend that nothing has happened! I can pay you many, many good things …… ”


  Ruan Zhongshan was really scared. He never dreamed that he would be defeated in the hands of such a young boy, but that was what happened. In the face of Jun Wu Xie, he had no power to fight back. He could even harm one hair on Jun Wu Xie.

  The enormous feeling of defeat made Ruan Zhongshan’s last trace of pride vanish.

  Jun Wu Xie looked down coldly at a terrified Ruan Zhongshan, there was no emotions in her cold eyes at all.

  “I gave you a chance.” Jun Wu Xie said lightly.

  If Ye Sha’s message to him was the last chance she gave to Ruan Zhongshan.

  However, he missed it, didn’t he?

  Just as Ruan Zhongshan said to Jun Wu Xie before, but only this time, the person who answered was not Jun Wu Xie, but him!

  “No ……” Ruan Zhongshan wanted to make the final struggle.

  It was a pity that Jun Wu Xie did not intend to give him any more time to spout his nonsense!

  A sword made of light materialised in the hands of Jun Wu Xie, with a flash of cold light, droplets of blood which fell in the sunlight……

  Ruan Zhongshan lay on the ground with a thump, and a bloody gash had ripped open on his neck. The hot blood flowed from his wound continuously, taking away all his vitality at the same time.

  The death of Ruan Zhongshan was the straw that broke the camel’s back. All the soldiers of Long Xuan City had no intention of fighting, and they fled one after another after being chased away by the Night Regime. The bloody killing finally came to an end. Those who were lucky to escape from Sea Spirit City unfortunately would have this nightmare accompany them for life.

  Misty Cloud Translations

  Misty Cloud Translations

  Qiao Chu and others had a good fight and they left the Ghost Army to deal with the remnants of the battlefield, while Jun Wu Xie returned directly to the city. It seemed that they did not intend to continue the pursuit.

  After the battlefield was completely cleaned, Zheng Weilong and Ah Da walked out from their hiding place in the forest.

  The loess in front of the gate of the Sea Spirit City had been stained dark red with blood. Even though the corpses were gone, the breath of death still lingered on the soil along with the nauseating scent of blood. It was as if telling everyone not to forget what had happened here.

  “The power of Sea Spirit City …… is stronger than I expected.” Zheng Weilong raised her eyes, and today’s battled had completely overturned her perception of Sea Spirit City.

  Although she had vaguely guessed that Jun Wu Xie hid some cards, she only guessed that the battle Sea Spirit City and Long Xuan City would be a tie at most. However, after the real battle began, Long Xuan City turned out to be so passive and was beaten into submission in front of Sea Spirit City.

  Even Ruan Zhongshan had died in the hands of Jun Wu Xie. Such terrible powers should not belong to the Sea Spirit City at all.

  “It seems that the elixir prescription that Sea Spirit City possesses is really powerful, however …… the Sea Spirit City Lord is still too young. Just now in battle, they could have killed all the soldiers of Long Xuan City, but they were not being meticulous, allowing some soldiers to flee the battlefield. It won’t be long before the news of Sea Spirit City’s possession of the prescription spread through the Upper Realm.” Ah Da frowned slightly. He recognized their strength, but also found many shortcomings.

  It was true that Sea Spirit City had won this time, but their finishing move was not perfect as the Long Xuan City soldiers who fled would definitely spread the news of this battle. When the time came, even if Sea Spirit City wanted to hide, they would not be able to.

  “This kind of abominable elixir will definitely cause a scramble by many parties. Although Sea Spirit City is rising rapidly in strength now, their foundation is lacking. This time they faced Long Xuan City, so they can be rather unaffected. But once the prescription attracts the attention from the other cities, I am afraid they would be facing more difficult opponents.” Ah Da sighed. If only Jun Wu Xie had killed everyone from Long Xuan City, then they won’t not suffer in the near future.

  But Zheng Weilong didn’t agree with Ah Da’s words. She frowned slightly as she glanced across blood stained earth, and her bright eyes seemed to be thinking about something.

  “Ah Da, you are wrong.” Zheng Weilong suddenly spoke after a long time.

  “I am wrong? What does Miss mean?” Ah Da didn’t understand.

  Zheng Weilong looked up slightly and looked at Sea Spirit City, and slowly said: “Do you really think that those deserters in Long Xuan City escaped by themselves?”


  “Isn’t it?” Ah Da frowned slightly, as a bystander, he saw the whole battle clearly. Most of the soldiers who could escape were in the outer area. This was only because the people in Sea Spirit City did not start killing in the outer area. And that was their chance to escape.

  However……

  Zheng Weilong obviously didn’t think so.

  Zheng Weilong took a deep breath and said in a low voice: “If it is the Sea Spirit City in the past, it may be as you said, but now it is different. Those from Long Xuan City were intentionally let go by Sea Spirit City!”


  Misty Cloud Translations

  Misty Cloud Translations

  “Intentionally let go? Why? Is Sea Spirit City not afraid of the news being leaked and getting besieged?” Ah Da didn’t understand even more. For Sea Spirit City, the news leak was not a good thing.

  Zheng Weilong shook her head. “I had some doubts previously, but now I understand. Whether it is the supply of Sea Spirit Beasts being cut off or the news of the elixir being leaked to Ruan Zhongshan, all these things have been meticulously planned by the Sea Spirit City Lord. Even the confrontation with Long Xuan City this time, and the escape of those soldiers are all part of his grand plan.”


  “How is this possible? Why would the Lord of Sea Spirit City do this?” Ah Da was slightly startled as Zheng Weilong’s guess was a bit too frightening.

  Zheng Weilong said: “You just witnessed the battle. With the strength of Sea Spirit City, there would have been no difficulty in encircling all the enemy soldiers. Since Yan Hai dared to oppose Ruan Zhongshan in this way, I don’t believe it he will ignore those deserters. So, I suspect that all this is deliberately arranged by him. He wants to let the news of the elixir be leaked and let everyone know how strong this elixir is, such that a weak city like Sea Spirit City can destroy Long Xuan City’s army. ”


  Zheng Weilong revealed all her predictions in one go. Since the time that Jun Wu Xie deliberately let Ruan Zhongshan off, she had detected something weird. And with the connection she made of the battle today, those inextricable parts were made clear.

  “What exactly does Yan Hai want to do? Doesn’t he know how dangerous this will be? Does he really have the ability to go against all of the 72 cities? He has already cut off the supply of the Sea Spirit Beasts, and that has caused a lot of dissatisfaction among the cities. If the news of today’s battle broke, Sea Spirit City will soon become the target of more criticism.” The more Ah Da thought about it, the more he couldn’t understand. He believed Zheng Weilong and her judgment would not be wrong. But…… This was really incredible.

  “Perhaps …… that’s what he wants.” Zheng Weilong’s eyes narrowed slightly, and a strange gleam flashed in her eyes.

  “I think …… I may have found an opportunity.” Zheng Weilong’s face suddenly burst into a smile, and she walked towards the gates of Sea Spirit City. As she stepped on the blood stained soil, she had also embarked on a path of no return.

  Ah Da was dazed for a moment but immediately followed Zheng Weilong into the Sea Spirit City. This time, they did not sneak in, but walked openly into the gates.

  Even though they had just finished battle, the two guards, who stood by the city’s gates, did not search Zheng Weilong and Ah Da and allowed them into the city.

  Zheng Weilong headed towards the City Lord manor and stood outside the main door. She could still sense the bloody smell from the battle on the guards outside the residence, but their faces did not have any blood from the battle.

  Zheng Weilong took a deep breath, raised her hand and knocked on the gates that would change her life.

  The door was opened a moment later. Ye Sha, who had stepped on Xu Zu’s head outside the city, had changed into clean clothes. He looked at Zheng Weilong with a hint of question in his eyes.

  “I am Zheng Weilong from the Discerning Moon City. And I seek an audience with Lord Yan Hai.”


  Misty Cloud Translations

  Ye Sha led Zheng Weilong into the residence. Zheng Weilong walked slowly with her back upright. After reaching the hall, she raised her eyes and saw Jun Wu Xie sitting in the main seat of the hall.

  Although it was evident that they were just engaged in battle, there was no emotional fluctuations on Jun Wu Xie’s face. She remained seated calmly, as if nothing had happened.

  “Zheng Weilong pays respect to my Lord.” Zheng Weilong said politely.

  Jun Wu Xie nodded slightly and looked at Zheng Weilong with his chin propped on one hand. Even before Ruan Zhongshan brought his soldiers to Sea Spirit City, the Night Regime was already monitoring Zheng Weilong and Ah Da till now. They had listened in on the conversation between Zheng Weilong and Ah Da, and had passed the information to Jun Wu Xie.

  With these clues given by Jun Wu Xie alone, Zheng Weilong was able to analyze the situation close to the real thing, her intellectual capabilities was beyond comparison to a normal person’s.

  Jun Wu Xie had someone check on Zheng Weilong’s identity and background which turned out to be very interesting.

  A piece of ‘trash’ with no spiritual power, but with an ingenious heart. Maybe if she was used properly, she would be a great helper.

  “What has brought Miss Zheng to my city?” Jun Wu Xie said lightly.

  Zheng Weilong looked at Jun Wu Xie and wondered how she would broach the subject. Suddenly she chuckled: “My Lord, you don’t know why I have come to your city? The moment I wanted to enter Sea Spirit City with my subordinate, I’m sure your men have been keeping us under observation. Also, I’m sure that my Lord also knows of my conversation with Ah Da. Otherwise, how were we able to enter the city without any hindrance?”


  Zheng Weilong’s words made Ah Da stunned!

  Did Jun Wu Xie send someone to monitor their action early on?

  Jun Wu Xie looked at Zheng Weilong, her cold eyes seemed to be judging the truthfulness of Zheng Weilong’s words, and she said a moment later: “The young lady of Discerning Moon City is really smart.”


  Zheng Weilong smiled humbly and said, “It’s not that I am smart, but it is because my Lord didn’t hide anything. Otherwise, how can I sit here safely?”


  Zheng Weilong didn’t realize that she was being monitored at first, but from the time she entered the Sea Spirit City and all the way to the official residence, even Ye Sha didn’t ask or announce her presence, and had let her see Jun Wu Xie almost immediately. The smooth-sailing process was not normal, especially since Jun Wu Xie had just ended a fierce battle; such relaxation of vigilance was abnormal.

  In addition to all these that could only be arranged by Jun Wu Xie, Zheng Weilong could not think of any other reason.

  Whether it was Zheng Weilong or Jun Wu Xie, they were extremely intelligent people who were rare in the world. Some things need not be said too clearly but they would already understand……

  “What do you want?” Jun Wu Xie suddenly looked at Zheng Weilong.

  “I want to be free.” Zheng Weilong raised her chin slightly. “I don’t want to be anyone’s pawn anymore. I want to control my own destiny.”


  “Then what can you bring to the table?” Jun Wu Xie raised her eyebrows slightly. When talking to an intelligent person, there was an ease of mind.

  “Everything in the 72 cities.” Zheng Weilong said, almost to herself.

  “Oh? How?” Jun Wu Xie asked.

  “I am the Miss of Discerning Moon City. Even if I am inconspicuous, I still grew up in Discerning Moon City. Discerning Moon City is not in a low position among the 72 cities. My Lord wants to let everyone in 72 cities know about what had happened in Sea Spirit City today……”

  “Then I only need a letter to magnify this effect. The prestige of the Discerning Moon City will also make the 72 cities more certain of the authenticity of this matter.” Zheng Weilong watched Jun Wu Xie unblinkingly, the hand on her side was clenched tightly.

  She was betting whether Jun Wu Xie would need her help.

  Jun Wu Xie looked at Zheng Weilong. In fact, her plan had been carried out. Even without Zheng Weilong’s help, those Long Xuan City soldiers who fled would spread the news, but with Zheng Weilong, the speed would be faster. And Zheng Weilong’s identity would be of certain use.

  “Of course, but I want more than just spreading the news. I want you to cooperate with me and stir up battles within the 72 cities. Are you in agreement?” Jun Wu Xie said, spreading the news was just the beginning. What she wanted was to use the shortest time possible to climb high enough and find her father!

  Zheng Weilong froze slightly as Jun Wu Xie’s words made her realize that Jun Wu Xie’s intent was more terrible than she had imagined.

  But there was only one chance for freedom.

  “I promise you, as long as I can do it, I will fully cooperate!” Zheng Weilong has too few gambling chips in her hands, and she must use the remaining chips to fight all at once!

  “Alright.” Jun Wu Xie nodded, and the cooperative relationship between the two was reached.

  “The Lord of Discerning Moon City sent me to Long Xuan City in an attempt to connect Long Xuan City by marriage. Now that you have destroyed Long Xuan City, even if I want to stay, I’m afraid I can’t. Zheng Ke would not allow a chess piece like me free. If it is not Long Xuan City, then he will send me to other cities. I hope that my Lord can help me to avoid a layer of worry. “Zheng Weilong looked to Jun Wu Xie. This was the first step towards her freedom, and she did not want to give up.

  As long as Zheng Ke’s plan was not abandoned, Zheng Weilong would always be a chess piece at his mercy.

  There were not enough areas to help Jun Wu Xie with.

  “What do you want?” Jun Wu Xie raised an eyebrow slightly.

  “The story of Long Xuan City will soon spread, and the status of Sea Spirit City will change. I hope that my Lord can propose to Zheng Ke that you intend to marry me. This way, Zheng Ke would agree because Zheng Ke also wants to get Sea Spirit City.”Zheng Weilong revealed her intentions and this was the only way that Zheng Ke could no longer control her marriage.

  Zheng Weilong didn’t notice that when she said these words, Ye Sha’s face turned black.

  Zheng Weilong looked like a pretty smart individual, how could she say such a frightening thing?

  If this was made known to Lord Jue…… Wouldn’t she be crushed to death?

  Jun Wu Xie’s brows furrowed slightly, apparently aware that her identity was different from the past.

  Zheng Weilong saw a trace of resistance on Jun Wu Xie’s face, and quickly said, “Please be assured my Lord that I only want my freedom. I am not hankering for the position of your wife, my Lord. You and I only need to put on an act. It is only in name that we are married.”


  Jun Wu Xie looked at Zheng Weilong. As far as the current situation was concerned, Zheng Weilong’s proposal was the most appropriate, however……

  “No,” Jun Wu Xie said coldly.

  Zheng Weilong froze. As far as this matter was concerned, the only person who may suffer a loss in reputation was her, and Jun Wu Xie would not be affected at all. She had thought that Jun Wu Xie would not hesitate to agree, but she did not expect Jun Wu Xie to turn it down without even thinking about it.

  Jun Wu Xie looked up at Zheng Weilong who was surprised. “I won’t do this. Your ultimate goal is freedom. I will give you your freedom. As for how to do it, that is something that I shall consider.”


  Zheng Weilong had wanted to say something else, but the indifferent and firm look on Jun Wu Xie’s face made her keep her mouth shut, as she nodded, “Then I shall leave it to my Lord to arrange.”


  Jun Wu Xie’s scheme was more important than her freedom, so Zheng Weilong was not worried that Jun Wu Xie will destroy her plan.

  After a good discussion, Jun Wu Xie asked Ye Sha to arrange accommodation for Zheng Weilong and Ah Da, so that they didn’t have to live in that shabby hut.

  Zheng Weilong naturally agreed with pleasure.

  After Zheng Weilong left, Jun Wu Yao, who had been in the backyard, came out. He directly lifted Jun Wu Xie from the chair, and nuzzled his chin to her cheek as he held her in his arms.

  “At least now you’re being honest.” Jun Wu Yao smiled. Zheng Weilong’s proposal was good and if it were in the past, Jun Wu Xie would have agreed to it immediately.

  Otherwise, she would not have “married” Qu Lingyue at that time.

  However, this kind of thing, even if it was fake, was simply unbearable for Jun Wu Yao.

  He had to endure a Qu Lingyue, and he definitely could not endure a second ‘wife’, not after he and Jun Wu Xie had married.

  Jun Wu Xie looked up slightly to Jun Wu Yao’s handsome face, as she slowly raised her hand, and touched his cheek.

  “I know.”


  “I know you don’t like it. Since I’m your wife, I won’t make a joke about it.”


  Jun Wu Yao laughed, his heart was suddenly at ease.

  Everything in Sea Spirit City was stable. Although Zheng Weilong has cooperated with Jun Wu Xie, she knew her value ​​very well. Even if she was allowed to live in Sea Spirit City by Jun Wu Xie, she did not stray from her current residence, nor did she try to learn about the prescription for the elixir.

  Jun Wu Xie was very satisfied with this. Smart people always did things with a peace of mind.

  The situation on the side of the Sea Spirit City was stable, but things in Long Xuan City was as messy as a pot of porridge. The soldiers who fled from the battlefield of Sea Spirit City were all in dire straits by the time they returned to Long Xuan City. Each of them seemed to have lost their soul, as they broke down crying the moment they entered their city.

  Soon, the news that Ruan Zhongshan died in battle, and that the army of Long Xuan City was completely abused spread throughout the entire city. For a moment, the news really shocked everyone in Long Xuan City.

  If it weren’t for the despair of those crying deserters, the other citizens of Long Xuan City would not have believed that it was all true.

  However, the shock in Long Xuan City did not last long. The death of Ruan Zhongshan instantly pushed the originally, relatively stable Long Xuan City into chaos. Numerous strong men who had been crushed by Ruan Zhongshan emerged and Immediately after that, a new round of scramble for the lordship of the city began.

  No one felt sad for Ruan Zhongshan’s death, and no one shed a tear for him. Those who bent and bowed their heads at him, those who used to be his lackeys have begun to fight for the supreme position in Long Xuan City!

  The entire Long Xuan City was caught in chaos, and in just a few days, large and small battles rang throughout Long Xuan City. The chaos made many lowly civilians flee from Long Xuan City to seek protection elsewhere.

  However, in this chaos, the strong men of Long Xuan City did not realize the danger had arrived……

  Misty Cloud Translations

  Misty Cloud Translations

  The battles within Long Xuan City raged on as more and more exponents emerged. Every day, numerous exponents lay dead on the streets of Long Xuan City. The bloody scent of death permeated the entire Long Xuan City. Corpses could be seen everywhere, making those of average strength in the city afraid and putting them at risk.

  However ……

  As the sun rose from the east, a slender figure could be seen, seated on a steed, approaching the gates of Long Xuan City amidst the clacking of hooves.

  Behind her, several slender young men accompanied her.

  “This is Long Xuan City?” Qiao Chu raised his hand to block the early morning sunlight, and squinted at Long Xuan City which was less than a hundred meters away.

  At a glance, thick walls surrounded the entire city, its range so wide that people couldn’t see the corners.

  “No wonder that Ruan Zhongshan was so arrogant before. This place is a lot bigger than Sea Spirit City.” Qiao Chu rubbed his chin as a nasty smile hung from the corner of his mouth, his thinking unknown to the rest.

  “So what if it’s big? Since it has fallen into the hands of a bunch of idiots, and sooner or later the city will be finished. How many civilians have we seen, escaping from Long Xuan City along the way? If this keeps up, this Long Xuan City will become a ghost city sooner or later.” Fei Yan pursed his lips in disapproval.

  “That’s not true. There are still a lot of people left in the city. The chaos nowadays is temporary. Once a new City Lord in Long Xuan City is elected, everything will return to normal.” Fan Zhuo shrugged, he was already used to such fighting in the Upper Realm.

  Jun Wu Xie who was riding in front of the group of people did not speak. She just kept her face cold and urged the horse under her to continue to walk towards the gates of Long Xuan City.

  Due to the lack of a City Lord, the soldiers in Long Xuan City have been left unmanaged, and the gates, that should have been guarded, were left unattended. Thus, Jun Wu Xie did not meet any obstacles or questions when they entered the city. They came to the main street of Long Xuan City.

  The streets of Long Xuan City were very wide as compared with the narrowness of Sea Spirit City, the buildings in the city were relatively dense. Even in the early morning, there were many people walking around the streets.

  However, the expressions of those city dwellers were a little nervous, and their pace involuntarily accelerated as they walked, all looking very rushed.

  There was a faint bloody smell wafting through the whole city. It was very light, but still it could not escape Jun Wu Xie.

  After walking for a while, they saw a broken corpse lying on the corner of the street, blood had coagulated under it, but the corpse was left untreated, and the stench of decay has started.

  “Where is the City Lord’s manor?” Jun Wu Xie paused her footsteps and turned to look at Zheng Weilong, who was at the end of the line.

  Zheng Weilong pointed it out to Jun Wu Xie.

  She had stayed in Sea Spirit City for a few days, but suddenly received news that Jun Wu Xie was going to Long Xuan City and needed her to lead the way. Zheng Weilong followed them without saying a word. She thought Jun Wu Xie wanted to lead her army to attack Long Xuan City, but when she found out that Jun Wu Xie’s travelling companions were only Chu Qiao and five others, as well as Ye Sha and her, she was a little confused.

  What did Jun Wu Xie want to do?

  Unfortunately, Jun Wu Xie was not interested in explaining anything to Zheng Weilong, she just walked in the direction pointed out by Zheng Weilong.

  The front gates of the City Lord’s manor was covered in blood.

  The manor which symbolised the prestige of Long Xuan City had become one of the bloodiest battlefields in this period.

  Misty Cloud Translations

  Misty Cloud Translations

  The front gates of the City Lord’s manor was opened, the stone steps in front of the door were stained with blood. The corpse next to the stone steps was shocking and the blood trail extended from the stone steps to the door.

  “Well, now I’ve seen everything. This City Lord of the Upper Realm is too tragic. This person had died and no one has collected his body, that’s fine. Just a few days after his death and his residence has been snatched by a group of demons and monsters. This is really uncomfortable.” Qiao Chu looked at the mess outside the city’s official residence. The chaos in Long Xuan City had astounded him.

  If this matter occurred in the Lower and Middle realms, even a village chief would have received a better treatment than Ruan Zhongshan.

  At least there were some people who collected their corpses, but Ruan Zhongshan’s body was added into the pile of corpses and burnt by Ghost Army.

  Jun Wu Xie didn’t say anything, she just raised her foot and stepped into the manor.

  But before she stepped onto the stone steps, a figure ‘flew’ out from the door!

  Jun Wuxi leaned slightly sideways, and avoided that mass of dark shadows.

  The dark shadow slammed on the hard slate floor and vomited blood.

  It was a man in his early forties. There were countless of colourful ribbons hanging from his body, large and small wounds covered his body as well. However, he immediately got up from the ground and wiped the corners of his mouth. He pointed at the residence and cursed, “Liu!! If you have the ability, then fight one-on-one with me! What’s the point of having backup?”


  As soon as the curses left his mouth, a sturdier looking man of the same age came out of the City Lord’s manor. Although he also had a lot of blood on his body, he seemed to fare much better than the first man. He was followed by two thin men.

  “Lao Yu, what you said is not right. I’m not the only one with backup, it’s just that the people you brought with you is a bunch of trash! Once they are dead, you can barely handle it. How can you blame me?” The man whose surname was Liu sneered and looked at the bruised Lao Yu with disdain.

  Jun Wu Xie and others were standing aside, but the two people did not seem to notice their existence at all, or maybe they didn’t even bother about Jun Wu Xie at all.

  “Yo, these two are very angry, what’s the story?” Qiao Chu watched with interest and couldn’t help asking Zheng Weilong, who stood to the side.

  Zheng Weilong lived in Long Xuan City for more than a month. Although she rarely went out, with Ah Da’s help, she was very clear about Long Xuan City’s situation.

  “These two people were once the most powerful exponents under Ruan Zhongshan, they have just broken through to Gold Spirit and are starting to consolidate Spiritual Inscriptions. In the entire Long Xuan City, their strength is second only to Ruan Zhongshan. Now that Ruan Zhongshan is dead, these two exponents are naturally the main candidates for the title of City Lord.” Zheng Weilong told Qiao Chu and the others truthfully all that she knew.

  Qiao Chu nodded.

  Jun Wu Xie suddenly said, “In the present Long Xuan City, the two of them are the best?”


  Zheng Weilong froze slightly, wondering why Jun Wu Xie had this question, but nodded.

  “Yes.”


  After Jun Wu Xie heard Zheng Weilong’s words, she suddenly lifted her feet as her figure flickered from Zheng Weilong’s eyes and disappeared on the spot!

  Misty Cloud Translations

  Misty Cloud Translations

  While they were fighting each other, a flash of light appeared before them, but before they could understand what was going on, they were already covered in blood.

  The man standing next Liu was sprayed with hot blood. When they regained their consciousness, they realised that Liu and Lao Yu had fallen into a pool of blood, their throats severed by a sharp object and large swaths of blood spouted from their wounds.

  Amidst the blood, a petite figure could be seen standing in a pool of blood, holding a sword of light.

  Two thumps sounded as the companions of Liu fell to the ground. They could not believe that the two exponents who had fought so fiercely were killed in front of their eyes.

  How powerful was this?

  Jun Wu Xie waved the sword of light in her hand and retracted it. The blood at her feet made her wrinkled her brow. She looked up at Zheng Weilong and asked, “Long Xuan City, how many more exponents? ”


  “.……” Zheng Weilong’s eyes widened as she looked at Jun Wu Xie in front of her. She hadn’t figured out what Jun Wu Xie was going to do, but now she fully understood ……

  The two frightened men fled while wailing, but Jun Wu Xie had only began her massacre.

  Outside the City Lord’s manor of Long Xuan City, a sign was written with blood that clearly stated in a few large characters.

  “I own Long Xuan City, if you are not happy, come and fight.”


  Those audacious words made all of Long Xuan City boil! After the death of Ruan Zhongshan, Long Xuan City was caught up in the battle for the new city lord, but no matter who it was, no one dared to be that provocative.

  The bodies of Lao Yu and Liu were also thrown out of the gates and left unattended. The pungent blood smell seemed to be announcing the coming of a war to all the exponents in Long Xuan City.

  Jun Wu Xie was sitting in the main hall of the City Lord’s manor. The main seat that once belonged to Ruan Zhongshan was now firmly under her.

  Zheng Weilong sat aside, looking at the indifferent Jun Wu Xie, but her heart was beating wildly.

  She thought that she had seen a lot of crazy and extreme exponents, but those people were incomparable to tJun Wu Xie, compared to her, everything they did seemed so ordinary.

  After she informed them on the number of remaining exponents in Long Xuan City, Jun Wu Xie immediately asked Qiao Chu to write the provocative sign with the blood of those two people and hung it outside. It was a challenge all the exponents in Long Xuan City.

  This kind of behavior was simply crazy!

  Zheng Weilong felt once again, that being on Jun Wu Xie’s side was perhaps the most correct choice for her.

  Jun Wu Xie’s sign had only just been hung out for a while and already the exponents have heard about it. A strong, burly man marched up to the official residence, along with his bunch of lackeys and walked in.

  However ……

  Before the person could speak, and before Zheng Weilong could even tell Jun Wu Xie about that man’s origin.

  She only saw Jun Wu Xie lift one hand, and a ray of light flew towards the man. The man fell into a pool of blood and never moved again……

  Suddenly, those lackeys who followed him were so frightened that they ran away with terrified wail!

  Zheng Weilong looked at Jun Wu Xie in shock, but Jun Wu Xie still sat calmly in her position, there was no change in her expression or reaction, as if nothing had happened just now ……

  Misty Cloud Translations

  Misty Cloud Translations

  Zheng Weilong was shocked at Jun Wu Xie’s calmness, and as she quietly observed Qiao Chu, she also found that their expressions were very calm, as if this was something Jun Wu Xie should have done.

  Soon, Zheng Weilong understood that this was just the beginning.

  The number of exponents who came because of Jun Wu Xie’s sign was increasing. Unfortunately, the strongest of them had barely walked ten meters to the door of the hall, along with others who arrived, were killed by the light that flew out from Jun Wu Xie.

  Less than half a day later, dozens of corpses were piled up in the front yard of the official residence of Long Xuan City.

  The entire front yard was stained red and the ground was no longer visible.

  The number of people who constantly came to “seek death” was gradually decreasing till early next morning, and no one had dared to set foot into the manor!

  Almost all of the exponents in the city are dead, and those who were less powerful, or who valued their lives, were afraid to approach the City Lord’s manor even by half a step!

  After a long time of inactivity, Jun Wu Xie finally stood up from her chair.

  She stepped on a corpse as she walked out of the gates.

  Outside the gate, countless citizens of Long Xuan City have gathered. Almost overnight, the news was spread throughout whole Long Xuan City. Many busybodies waited outside the residence in order to take a look at the source of such arrogance and cruelty.

  But when Jun Wu Xie appeared in front of the crowd with Yan Hai’s face, everyone was shocked.

  That face was too young and unfamiliar to them. They were not people from Long Xuan City at all.

  However, no matter how young Jun Wu Xie looked, the people around her, who saw her expression, were shocked and in fear.

  Jun Wu Xie glanced at those who were surrounded by the City Lord’s manor and where her cold eyes passed, no one dared to look at her. The moment Jun Wu Xie’s gaze swept past them, they obediently lowered their heads.

  “I am Yan Hai, from Sea Spirit City. From today on, I will take over Long Xuan City. Anyone who is dissatisfied can come to Sea Spirit City to challenge me at any time. I will welcome it.” Jun Wu Xie said in a cold voice as it echoed in the silent exterior of the official residence. Along with the stench of blood, that had not yet dissipated, it stimulated the hearts of every Sea Spirit City dweller, and thus cemented her position as the City Lord of two cities.

  When Jun Wu Xie’s words were heard, all the people around her knelt together!

  “Long live My Lord!”


  “Long live My Lord!”


  The shout tinged with fear sounded one after another, no one dared to challenge Jun Wu Xie again. Afterall, Jun Wu Xie had nearly wiped out all the exponents of Long Xuan City in one day, thus there was no one who had the courage to question her authority as the City Lord.

  Amidst the cheers, Zheng Weilong looked at Jun Wu Xie’s cold face, she drew her hands into tightly clenched fists.

  This was what true strength is. You can destroy everything!

  Everyone in Long Xuan City knew that on this day, they had a new city lord and that person was the city lord of the Sea Spirit City. Although Long Xuan Cheng still retained its own name, but from today onwards, they had became a subsidiary of Sea Spirit City.

  Misty Cloud Translations

  Misty Cloud Translations

  Jun Wu Xie did not stay in Long Xuan City. Instead, she assigned a part of the Ghost Army to remain in Long Xuan City. However, because of her ruthless means, even if she was not in Long Xuan City, no one would dare to find trouble with the Ghost Army.

  After returning to Sea Spirit City, Jun Wu Xie began to plan for the next step. The news of Long Xuan City’s defeat had already spread like wildfire, arousing suspicion in many cities. As Jun Wu Xie had taken over Long Xuan City, the news about Sea Spirit City spread throughout the 72 cities in the shortest span of time.

  The City Lords who had originally wanted to make a trip over to Sea Spirit City to demand for an explanation for the severed Sea Spirit Beasts supply had also quietened down. At the same time, more and more spies were sent to the Sea Spirit City. Over the next few days, the number of people entering Sea Spirit City began to increase, all with different agendas on their mind.

  As for these spies from other cities, Jun Wu Xie did not raise the thought of getting rid of them at all.

  She simply managed Sea Spirit City leisurely and left it to the members of the Night Regime to monitor those spies who entered. The Night Regime members started spreading the news of the elixir, letting various channels discuss the matter and made the news sound more credible and let those spies “accidentally discover” it.

  Everything on Jun Wu Xie’s side went very smoothly and very soon, Zheng Weilong also received news from Diminishing Moon City. After getting the news, she immediately looked for Jun Wu Xie and handed Zheng Ke’s letter directly to her.

  Jun Wu Xie swept through the contents of the letter in a glance before she slightly raised her eyebrows and looked at Zheng Weilong who was sitting opposite her.

  In Zheng Ke’s letter, he did not ask Zheng Weilong anything about her own situation. The contents were all enquiries about Long Xuan City and Sea Spirit City. As for Long Xuan City’s destruction, the different opinions of the 72 cities were all in accordance to the news Jun Wu Xie released. The City Lords of the 72 cities have already started wrecking their brains to find out more.

  In Zheng Ke’s letter, he mentioned that he hoped Zheng Weilong could go to Sea Spirit City and contact Jun Wu Xie as well as to find a way to get her hands on the elixir formula in Sea Spirit City.

  “Ye Sha.” Jun Wu Xie threw the letter written by Zheng Ye into a brazier and burned it.

  Ye Sha stepped forward.

  “Elixir.” Jun Wu Xie said.

  Ye Sha placed the elixir that Jun Wu Xie had prepared earlier on right in front of Zheng Weilong.

  Even the usually calm Zheng Weilong could not help but her eyes sparkled upon seeing the elixir. She reached for the elixir and examined it carefully before looking up at Jun Wu Xie.

  “This is the elixir that changed the entire Sea Spirit city?”


  Jun Wu Xie nodded her head.

  “You want me to give it to Zheng Ye?” Zheng Weilong frowned slightly.

  “Yes.”


  “Are you really willing? This elixir is related to the strength of your Sea Spirit City. I understand that you want Zheng Ye to believe the truth of this matter, but …… Zheng Ye has a lot of doctors who have good medical skills. When it comes to this elixir, it is hard to guarantee that they will not find out the ingredients in this elixir, aren’t you afraid of taking this risk? “Zheng Weilong looked at Jun Wu Xie helplessly.

  Ever since Long Xuan City’s incident, it had alerted all 72 cities and they began to pay close attention to Sea Spirit City. This attention had exceeded their interest over the issue of the supply of Sea Spirit Beasts. In Zheng Weilong’s heart, the strength of Sea Spirit City was solely based on this elixir. Once it had been obtained by other cities and after they have deciphered the formula, all the advantages of Sea Spirit City would disappear in an instant.
