"Step, step, step"
The sound of soles colliding with the bluestone slowly reached the ears of the cultivators who had been drained of their immortal power and were too weak to move.
So cultivators with slightly higher cultivation struggled to lift their heads and look at the approaching person.
"So, this is City No. 10?"
Chen Jiuge looked at the sowhat desolate street with a sense of lancholy.
"Yes, apart from these cultivators gathered by Zhang He, the remaining caravans, so capable loose cultivators, and ordinary residents who were able, almost all have gone to the nine developed Cities of Exploration ahead." Mu Ling shook his head and said.
The wars between cultivators are much more brutal than those between mortals!
When mortal soldiers lose a battle, at most they are pitifully killed, but it's different for cultivators.
The cultivators, rich in spiritual energy, have flesh, bones, and even hair that are considered spiritual materials with many uses, and so even more vicious ones will extract the True Spirit of a cultivator, which truly prevents them from ever reincarnating!
"It seems Zhang He's ability to use the Five-Colored Great Mountain without limit relies on the help of these cultivators. I was wondering why he suddenly stopped."
Chen Jiuge shook his head slightly and continued, "Lock them in the Heavenly Prison. Mu Ling, you take control, and for the handover, go find Black Eye, it knows what to do!"
"Yes."
After arranging so trivial matters, Chen Jiuge walked alone on the quiet street.
"Crack"
A slight noise caught Chen Jiuge's attention.
In a small ordinary courtyard where the sound ca from, a plain-looking Female Cultivator tightly held two young children, softly comforting them, "Be good, be good, it's alright, just stay quiet, it will be over soon."
The Female Cultivator did not have high cultivation, probably around the Sixth Rank, and her two children had just started their cultivation journey, with almost zero spiritual energy within them.
Seeing the Female Cultivator terrified to the point of trembling, yet still desperately comforting her children, a trace of lancholy flashed through Chen Jiuge's eyes.
"Once upon a ti, I was a gentle person too, but now...sigh."
With a long sigh, Chen Jiuge placed a mark on the house, so that the cultivators entering the city afterward would not trouble them too much upon seeing the mark.
"Boom"
Qiongqi descended arrogantly from the sky, the fierce wind swept by its wings causing the buildings on both sides to totter and sway.
"Master, everything is settled, but a few slippery little guys got away!" Upon ntioning this, Qiongqi felt sowhat displeased.
"No matter, the news can't be hidden anyway. A few escaping makes no difference." Chen Jiuge didn't mind.
The plan was to openly and squarely conquer all regions of the Five Elents Sect now. Given the power at hand, as long as they couldn't unite fully to defend a single City of Exploration, they couldn't resist the invasion.
Is it possible for these people to cooperate?
In Chen Jiuge's view, it's impossible. Though the City of Exploration is rich in resources, to those Noble Family Disciples, it's not much. Most of them co to gain so experience, to better handle the cushy jobs within the sect later.
Those truly fighting desperately in the developnt areas are mostly plain disciples without any family background. They do the hardest, most exhausting, and most dangerous jobs but get the least resources, and their resentnt towards the Noble Family Disciples is enormous.
Especially after the unexpected departure of the Golden Immortals left significant power in the hands of the Noble Family Disciples, who do not understand any balance art, they relentlessly exploit the resources.
The conflict between the two groups will only intensify, especially since the resource convoy was annihilated by , the direct powers of those Noble Family Disciples will be greatly weakened, and possibly so might even fall because of it.

Jiuying Station
Shuibing quietly looked at Wu Tian, while Song Bei and Jiuying glanced at the two with so helplessness.
"I can cooperate with you, but if your original intent changes, I will withdraw at any ti!" Wu Tian said firmly.
Shuibing was very dissatisfied with this response, "What do you an by withdraw at any ti?"
"What is the original intent?"
Slamming the desk heavily, Shuibing said sternly, "Wu Tian, do you really think you can stay safe just by guarding Ming Sea?"
"That Holy King Evil Ghost has already been rescued, hasn't it!"
"So what?" Wu Tian's expression remained unchanged.
"Heh." Shuibing chuckled mockingly, then said lightly, "My goal is self-preservation. As for those grand plans the leader once spoke of, I will continue to execute them as long as they do not endanger the people around ."
"But the mont it endangers the people around , I will abandon it without hesitation!"
Wu Tian's face changed, gently rubbing the tea cup in his hand, sowhat dissatisfied, "Then I suppose we have no need for further discussions."
Watching Wu Tian, who was about to leave, Shuibing said faintly, "Are you going back to your Ming Sea?"
"Why not?" Wu Tian's tone turned a little cold.
Song Bei sighed and said, "Wu Tian, you can't go back to Ming Sea!"
"Hmm?"
Song Bei waved his hand, releasing a veil of light.
Originally peaceful and harmonious, Ming Sea had changed drastically. The blue sea was now covered by a large amount of black mist, with countless Evil Ghosts rampaging within.
The fierce beasts in Ming Sea were constantly battling these Evil Ghosts, and red blood had stained a large area of Ming Sea.
"Who dares?"
With a rebuke, a giant hand instantly covered the veil of light.
The veil of light dissipated, and Wu Tian was slightly dazed, "Evil Ghosts? No, just things that look similar to Evil Ghosts, what's going on?"
