Chapter 2070: Chapter 685: Fame Spreads Across the Southern Wilderness, Quasi-Spirit Treasure!
“Azure Phoenix True Monarch fought for the core opportunity of the Secret Realm, was besieged by several Nascent Soul Cultivators, and, in cooperation with Yangming True Master, slew Heavenly Silkworm True Monarch and Purple Grey True Monarch, whereabouts currently unknown…”
As one of the top powers in Jiang Country, the intelligence system of Azure Phoenix Immortal City surpasses that of Great Dream Immortal City, keeping a close watch on the situation in the Vast Sand Illusion Realm.
After all, their own City Lord went to the Vast Sand Illusion Realm and has yet to return, causing the high-ranking officials of the Immortal City to worry incessantly.
However, at this moment, upon seeing the intelligence from the Vast Sand Illusion Realm, the high-ranking officials of Azure Phoenix Immortal City were stunned and dumbfounded.
For a time, they didn’t know whether to be happy or sad.
Good news, their own City Lord obtained the core opportunity of the Secret Realm.
With one person and one pet, they fiercely battled five Nascent Soul Cultivators, joined forces with Yangming True Master, fought against seven Nascent Soul Cultivators, killed two, and shocked the world!
Bad news, their City Lord has not returned.
As high-ranking officials of Azure Phoenix Immortal City, all were aware of their City Lord’s early deeds.
Often spreading news of severe injuries to confuse and deceive potential enemies, escaping at the first sign of danger to ensure self-preservation.
Through this intelligence, they knew for sure that their City Lord was definitely hiding somewhere and wouldn’t be returning anytime soon.
“As long as the City Lord is safe, Azure Phoenix Immortal City will be safe,”
said one of the high-ranking officials.
“Indeed, according to the report, Xuanjian True Monarch also went to the Vast Sand Illusion Realm and must know the situation of the City Lord, yet did nothing, indicating no hostility towards the Immortal City.”
Another high-ranking official echoed, expressing unity with the Immortal City, awaiting the City Lord’s return.
However, a few days later, several high-ranking officials quietly left the Immortal City.
After all, years ago, Azure Phoenix True Monarch abandoned the Immortal City to break through to Nascent Soul, causing the Immortal City to undergo a purge, and many were killed in the process.
Although those who remained after Azure Phoenix True Monarch’s return were rewarded and nurtured, there was still considerable risk, making people afraid to bet their lives.
…
Lu Qingxuan, serving as Steward in Azure Phoenix Immortal City, had previously been cared for by Azure Phoenix True Monarch, so the high-ranking officials gave him this piece of intelligence immediately.
They asked if Azure Phoenix True Monarch had left any instructions beforehand.
“Azure Phoenix True Monarch and Yangming True Master killed two Nascent Soul True Lords in the Vast Sand Illusion Realm…”
Lu Qingxuan looked at the intelligence in his hand, unable to suppress his astonishment and moved emotions.
Having been in Azure Phoenix Immortal City for so many years, he naturally knew the reputation of Yangming True Master.
And through Yangming True Master’s divine skills and mount, he guessed that this Yangming True Master was his own father.
So, upon seeing the intelligence, his heart was filled with shock.
Slaying Nascent Soul Cultivators!
It’s known that Nascent Soul Cultivators, no matter where, are top-level existences.
To have a Nascent Soul True Lord overseeing them is to belong to an Overlord-level Power!
Yet now, his own father and Aunt Mu had slain two Nascent Soul True Lords.
Especially Purple Grey True Monarch, whose magic body was not only slain, but even the Nascent Soul Spirit Body was extinguished…
“This, this, this…”
Even though Lu Qingxuan had always been steady and composed, he was overwhelmingly shocked, feeling as if in a dream.
“No wonder Father sent a message assuring me to stay at Azure Phoenix Immortal City, to contact him if there’s any situation.”
Lu Qingxuan thought of the message his father sent a month ago.
He took a deep breath, with a look of surprise, and bowed to the Elder in front of him, saying: “Elder Luo, the City Lord has not left any instructions for me, but according to the intelligence, the City Lord has obtained the core opportunity. Likely healing outside, I expect his mana will improve significantly and he will return to the Immortal City soon.”
“Moreover, our Azure Phoenix Immortal City is allied with the Heavenly Sword Sect, even if the City Lord hasn’t returned, there’s no possibility of danger.”
In Lu Qingxuan’s words, his eyes were filled with reverence and trust towards Azure Phoenix True Monarch.
The elder, known as Elder Luo, secretly shook his head, thinking that Lu Qingxuan was still too young.
Though usually steady and wise, he didn’t fully understand Azure Phoenix True Monarch.
Although this City Lord is outstanding, exceptionally talented, and possessing great willpower, opportunity, and perseverance,
over the centuries, few of those who chose to follow her have survived to a peaceful end.
Some even speculate that Azure Phoenix True Monarch is a Heavenly Fiend Lone Star, and if one’s fate isn’t tough enough, they should avoid associating too closely.
“Naturally, but for now, this news should not be spread to prevent causing panic in the Immortal City.”
Elder Luo spoke with Lu Qingxuan for a while, and seeing that he seemed unaware, instructed him a bit and then turned to leave.
After Elder Luo left, Lu Qingxuan pondered for a moment in the hall, then called out: “Xiao Yu.”
…
As the news from the Vast Sand Illusion Realm circulated, the entire Southern Wilderness Northern Domain began to remember the name “Yangming True Master.”
Moreover, this name, along with Azure Phoenix True Monarch, spread throughout the Southern Wilderness Cultivation Realm due to intentional promotion by certain factions.
In evaluations and speculations by various major powers, it was believed that Yangming True Master was a Nascent Soul Old Monster reincarnated and cultivating anew, possessing the backup plans and supreme treasures prepared in the past life, so even at the Core Formation Stage, he could rival Nascent Soul Cultivators.
Meanwhile, Azure Phoenix True Monarch, with a Fourth Rank Spirit Pet, Daoist Soldier Formation, and combat divine abilities, was capable of contending with Nascent Soul Middle Stage Cultivators.
Such unlimited potential in two people caused many factions to take caution.
After all, once Yangming True Master breaks through to Nascent Soul, and Azure Phoenix True Monarch absorbs the Secret Realm’s opportunity for further strength, the two combined could become top-level existences below the Nascent Soul Late Stage!
Such two Nascent Soul Cultivators will inevitably influence the situation in the Southern Wilderness Northern Domain.
…
In a certain Immortal City in Yuan Country.
“Yangming True Master, Azure Phoenix True Monarch contended with seven Nascent Soul Cultivators, killing two…”
“This Jiang Country indeed is a land of outstanding talents, clearly located in the remote Southern Wilderness Northern Domain, yet produced so many exceptionally talented individuals. Could it be that my parents chose to settle in Great Dream Marsh because they saw the confluence of heaven and earth’s fortune here?”
