"Great, great, great, after wandering around all day, I finally see familiar faces. You don’t know, my sect brothers insisted that the mission of being a scout requires both bravery and intelligence, so they unanimously elected me. I’ve been wandering around this wild all day and aside from battling once, I’ve just been bored out of my mind... It’s a relief to see you guys," he said.

Chu Liang wouldn’t naturally lay a hand on Monk Pu Shan. Even if he wanted the Soul Crystal, he wouldn’t miss just one. Monk Pu Shan was completely unwary, and without hesitation, sat down with the few of the Shu Mountain Sect and began pouring out his thoughts.

Listening to him exhale a day’s worth of grievances, Chu Liang and the others exchanged looks. In their hearts, they couldn’t help but think, "Why not just kill him, if not for the Soul Crystal, at least for the peace."

Chu Liang strongly suspects that the reason his teammates from Yunque Temple sent Pu Shan to be the scout was because having him around was just too torturous...

Seeing that he had no intention of stopping, Chu Liang hurriedly interrupted, "Have you been in this area all day?"

"No, we came from the eastern coast. We hardly encountered anyone along the way," Monk Pu Shan replied quite depressed. "When we passed Yanbo City, the people inside were trying to escape. But before they could, they were all slaughtered by Penglai’s people. It was brutal. By the time we got here, the fight was already over. We ran into people from the Earthfire Door..."

"Earthfire Door?" Chu Liang recalled the dark horse from the Quadrisea Selection Competition, "Did you win the fight?"

"No, we touched a bit and retreated when we saw they had many people," Pu Shan replied shaking his head.

After hearing him, Chu Liang realized that Earthfire Door and Five Poison Sect, both under the jurisdiction of the Prime Minister, had their distinctive small factions within the Void Realm.

The Five Poison Sect is tricky and unpredictable, almost impossible to guard against, aligning with the Shenxing Gate and Yishan Sect.

Meanwhile, the Earthfire Door specializes in fire spells, aligning themselves with the Puppet Sect and Kui Wood Sect, collectively hunting for Soul Crystals on this plain. The alliance of these three sects possess formidable strength.

Actually, the Five Poison Sect isn’t weak. It’s just that Chu Liang, who completely ignores their poisons, is their bane. As long as it isn’t a strange poison that can’t be resolved by his Detoxifying Whip, to the Hero with the Divine Whip, it’s just probiotics. What can they do?

If it were anyone else in the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands, the Five Poison Sect wouldn’t have fallen so easily. But they were simply unlucky.

The Earthfire Door’s inheritance isn’t particularly strong either. The reason why their team is so powerful is due to a pair of twin brothers within this generation of disciples, both of whom possess the rare Fire Spirit Vein.

The Fire Spirit Vein is a Spiritual Body that doubles the effectiveness of practicing fire spells. Although it’s a notch below Divine Fire Life, it isn’t restricted to one bloodline, making it a remarkable talent in the world.

The brothers each won a round on the competition stage, which allowed them to unexpectedly beat the Regent Residence. And when the two brothers fight together, they complement each other and their power is even more extraordinary.

"Three sects..." Chu Liang calculated, "Do you know their exact whereabouts?"

"I only know the approximate area, I’m not sure if they’ve left," Monk Pu Shan looked at him, "You want to deal with them? It won’t be easy."

"Why don’t we form an alliance and take down these three sects?" Chu Liang said.

"Oh?" Monk Pu Shan responded, "You have plans?"

"Although their strength is considerable, we could potentially outwit them," Chu Liang replied. "When the time comes, I’ll pretend to be discovered while scouting, then lure them into a valley. You guys will ambush in the valley, taking them by surprise."

"Good plan." Monk Pu Shan nodded, "It has to be you. How can you think of so many strategies on the spot?"

"Probably because I’ve had more experience..." Chu Liang jokingly replied.

"I’ll go back now and find my three sect brothers, Pu Cheng, Pu You, and Pu Jing, to ask their opinions," said Monk Pu Shan. "I believe they may agree if I persuade them a little bit."

"Naturally." Chu Liang replied.

With your "slight" persuasion, who dares to disagree?

...

Compared to the hustle and bustle of the coast and the mountain peak, Yanbo City is unexpectedly quiet in the night.

Penglai’s deterrence is simply too strong. There were quite a few teams who dared to fight for this city during the day. However, not long after, all wanted to escape and couldn’t.

No one dared to get close to Yanbo City afterward.

Such a large city was unexpectedly deserted.

At midnight, Yang Yuhu brought a person to the highest tower in Yanbo City.

"Elder brother, the Young Castellan Huyan wants to meet you." Yang Yuhu brought a young man in brocade clothes to the place.

The young man is the young lord of Taotie City, Huyan Bin.

At a time when everyone was keeping their distance from Yanbo City, Taotie City was going against the current. Thanks to Huyan Bin’s acquaintance with Yang Yuhu, otherwise, Qi Lin’er would tear the four of them to shreds.

"Young Castellan?" The one sitting in the room quietly cultivating his Zhou Tian, Yang Shenlong, slowly opened his eyes and came out.

"Young Hero Yang, I’ve heard a lot about you, but I never had the chance to meet you. Today, I finally did," Huyan Bin said with a smile.

"Young Castellan is being polite." Yang Shenlong gave a slight nod, invited him in to sit.

Since he came to talk, there was no rush to turn him into a Soul Crystal. Plus, with a quick thought, Yang Shenlong could easily guess why Taotie City was here.

"Our Taotie City wants to form an alliance with your Penglai Upper Sect," Huyan Bin smiled, "I wonder how Young Hero Yang feels about this?"

"And the price?" Yang Shenlong asked.

This wasn’t the first time Taotie City had done this, allying with stronger cultivators when their own disciples lacked aptitude. However, the Soul Crystals that were shared among them were essentially bought.

This practice has somewhat drawn criticism. Although it doesn’t violate the fundamental principles of alliances, it does involve extramural factors.

But after some discussions within the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands, the conclusion reached was, "Wealth is also part of one’s abilities." As long as it is a legitimate act of alliance for one’s own victory, it shouldn’t matter too much how the alliance was formed.

They still want to give the disciples in the Void Realm as much freedom as possible.

After all, Taotie City doesn’t invite other sects to give up on their advancement opportunities. They rely on the powerful parties and allow them to distribute the excess Soul Crystals to themselves while also buying Soul Crystals at high prices, making it non-reproducible.

"As per the usual price, two thousand Vermilion Bird Coins for a Soul Crystal," Huyan Bin stated plainly.

"Five thousand," Yang Shenlong said straightaway.

"This..." The smile on Huyan Bin’s face disappeared.

Wanting to securely advance to the top ten needs at least thirty to forty Soul Crystals, and two thousand Vermilion Bird Coins for one Soul Crystal is already a fairly high price. If it’s five thousand Vermilion Bird Coins for one Soul Crystal, that’d be at least over ten thousand.

But thinking of his critical mission this time, Huyan Bin gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, five thousand per crystal, but I have one condition... you have to eliminate the Shu Mountain Sect in this round!"
