Damn it, these guys arrived way too fast. While a level three array can defend against Nascent Soul cultivators' attacks, it consumes a huge amount of resources.

Especially now that the sect's treasury is empty, it can't hold out for much longer.

If the three Nascent Soul cultivators continue their attack, it won't take more than a few hours to deplete the earth's veins...

Great Wave True Lord leaped into the sky and looked outside through the array.

The outside was packed with people.

Three Nascent Soul cultivators led the way, followed by three magical flying boats, each hundreds of meters long, belonging to different sects.

Countless cultivators jumped off the ship and began assembling psionic cannons on the ground...

"You three old devils! What are you trying to do? Provoking a sect war, aren't you afraid of punishment from your sect?"

The three are,

Spirit Sword Sect, Flying Rainbow True Monarch

Diancang Sect, True Lord Qianye

Qinghai Sect, True Lord Qingyue!

The three of them sneered upon hearing this. Then, True Monarch Feihong spoke.

"Don't spout nonsense, you wicked person, you're the one who made the accusation first! It was clearly your disciples who attacked my sect's spirit mine. I've come here to demand an explanation!"

True Monarch Qianye: "And my sect's young master disappeared on your territory. If you don't give me an explanation, this isn't over yet!"

True Monarch Qingyue: "Our sect's most important treasure has been lost. Dalang, open the mountain gate and let me in to search!"

The Great Wave True Lord was absolutely furious.

"You...you're distorting the truth, it's utter nonsense!"

Just as True Lord Dalang was still troubled, True Lord Feihong suddenly transmitted his voice.

"Da Lang, let's not beat around the bush. Hand over half of the Nascent Soul Fruit, and we'll leave immediately!"

"you...."

Great Wave True Monarch was startled and sent a telepathic message back.

"What Nascent Soul Fruit? I don't know anything about it!"

"Hmph, Da Lang, you've been searching everywhere for Star Soul Grass, do you really think we're blind? You've collected at least five portions of Star Soul Grass, I won't ask for more, just give me one complete one, and my Spirit Sword Sect will leave immediately!"

The Diancang Sect's True Lord Qianye also chimed in.

"I want one too!"

True Monarch Qingyue: "Me too..."

Upon hearing the three people's telepathic communication, Da Lang knew perfectly well that the matter had been leaked. He stopped communicating telepathically and immediately began to curse.

"Fuck you, you three bastards! You think you can get a free meal? Don't even think about it!"

Just then, a figure flew in from behind the Canghai Sect Mountain.

"Senior brother, since the three factions are going to fight, then let's fight them to the death!"

Da Lang turned around and saw that it was his junior brother, True Monarch Ji Shui, who had just broken through to the mid-Nascent Soul stage.

Seeing his junior brother break through to the mid-Nascent Soul stage, Da Lang's face lit up with joy.

"Good, good! It's good that you've broken through!"

The Water-Drawing True Lord solemnly clasped his hands in a fist salute.

"It's all thanks to my senior brother's help! I just broke through today, and the sect has already reached this dead end. If either of us brothers escapes, we will fight to the death with the three sects!"

Seeing the Water-Drawing True Lord's resolute expression, the three opposite him couldn't help but feel a sense of unease.

Everyone here is at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm; there's a very high chance that one of the opponents will escape using the sect's powerful formation.

However, if left unchecked, once the Canghai Sect advances to a few more Nascent Soul cultivators, the other three sects will likely be doomed.

The three exchanged glances, and then True Monarch Feihong spoke again.

"Big Wave, let's be frank. You've obtained so many Nascent Soul Fruits; if you refine them into pills, we'll all be dead. If you don't hand them over today, we'll have no choice but to fight to the death..."

"However, we won't take it for nothing. For each Nascent Soul Fruit, we'll compensate you with ten billion spirit stones!"

Clang!

As soon as Fei Hong finished speaking, Ji Shui Zhen Jun drew his sword.

"You think you can steal my Nascent Soul Fruit for ten billion spirit stones? Don't even think about it! Let's settle this with a sword fight and see who dies..."

Before the Water-Drawing True Lord could finish speaking, he was stopped by the Great Wave True Lord.

"Senior brother! Don't stop me! Even though I've just advanced, I'm not afraid. At worst, I'll self-destruct my Nascent Soul and risk killing one or two of them!"

This junior brother was still young, and since Da Lang had no other choice, he could only resort to telepathy.

"Don't worry, there's plenty more!"

After calming his junior brother down, Da Lang turned to face the three of them.

"One price, 1.6 billion! I'll sell to six of you!"

......

Time flies, and the return of the Vast Ocean Fortress is drawing ever closer.

The number of cultivators entering the city also increased.

Near the entrance of Hanhai City

The tour guide, who was standing on the street waiting for guests, suddenly turned his eyes to the back of the street.

"Look, Brother Liang is here!"

"Brother Liang! You've struck it rich!"

"Brother Liang, do you have any tips or tricks? Please share them with us!"

...

Zhang Liang, beaming with pride, greeted everyone one by one.

"Hey, don't touch it! This is a top-grade magic artifact I just bought! It can increase the speed of spirit gathering."

"What's so great about being successful? I haven't even reached the Foundation Establishment stage yet. The owner of Wanbao Spiritual Materials just promised to help me refine Foundation Establishment Pills. I still have to cultivate to the peak of Qi Refining on my own."

"Haha, there's no secret, you just need to have sharp eyes. Watch me, I'll demonstrate!"

After Zhang Liang finished speaking, he cut in line, went to the front, greeted the others, and walked to the door.

His eyes were fixed on the three black-clad cultivators who had just entered.

"Seniors, would you like a guide? I've been in Hanhai City for five years, and I know exactly where to find the best discounts. There's a Wanbao Spiritual Materials store that's having a promotion right now, offering 20% ​​off all kinds of spiritual materials!"

"Hehehe... They have all sorts of spiritual materials?"

The laughter of the three sent chills down Zhang Liang's spine, but he still mustered his courage and spoke.

"Reporting to Senior, as long as it's not alive and not a specialty of the sea, Wanbao Spiritual Materials are all available for sale, and... there's no limit to the quantity! If you can't find it, the shop owner guarantees compensation!"

"Oh? Such a good thing?"

The three exchanged a glance and simultaneously burst into a strange laugh.

"Okay, let's go take a look!"

The three followed Zhang Liang, exchanging telepathic messages as they went.

"It's been so long since I've been to Hanhai City, and there are still people with such arrogant attitudes!"

"The Vast Ocean Fortress, with its most abundant spiritual materials, hasn't even returned, yet it can still make such a boastful statement."

"And there's no limit..."

"Maybe he really does have some skills? Hehehe..."

"Hehe... a brush? Why don't we just buy the Soul-Sculpting Water from him?"

"Huh? Senior brother, are you really going to ruin our reputation? The sect only gives other sects so little Soul-Shaping Water each year, and you're actually going to find someone to buy it? Hahaha..."

"Haha... Earning some pocket money isn't bad!"
