"Domineering?"

Lin Hanqing frowned, a strange expression appearing on his face.

If Zhang Shoucheng hadn't come from Longhu Mountain, she definitely wouldn't have believed that statement.

"Yes! That's powerful!"

Zhang Shoucheng pointed to his eyes and said with a wry smile, "To be honest, Fairy Lin, I'm afraid there's really something wrong with my eyes!"

As a direct descendant of the Celestial Masters of Longhu Mountain, he practiced the art of observing qi from a young age.

Strangely, even though he had opened his eyes and mastered the art of observing qi, he still couldn't see any qi.

This matter had troubled him for a long time.

Until last month, when the list of fish and dragons was released.

Suddenly, his eyes saw an unprecedented and magnificent aura.

The aura that emanated from the Central Plains was so terrifying that it astonished Zhang Shoucheng.

But this was not the most shocking thing for Zhang Shoucheng.

What shocked him most was that a similar aura appeared from the direction of Haizhou.

Although this energy was not as strong as that from the Central Plains, its growth rate was beyond imagination.

This is further combined with the changes in the Fish and Dragon Ranking and the Heavenly Hero Ranking.

He had a bold guess in his mind.

That man from Zhongzhou was Zhou Zhenxiong, the current emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

That person in Haizhou is Li Fan, the Overlord Blade.

That aura was not dragon energy!

After all, the path Li Fan is taking now is not the path of the king.

Based on Jun Buyu's comments, he named this aura "domineering"!

"Then why did you come to participate in the Southern State Martial Arts Competition?"

Lin Hanqing asked again.

"Heavenly secrets must not be revealed!"

Zhang Shouchang shook his head and did not say anything more.

The art of observing qi extends far beyond the present moment.

Those two domineering auras, though worlds apart.

But there is an underlying tension that could lead to a collision.

Li Fan's aura was like a force that could sweep across thousands of miles as he marched north.

Their first encounter was likely related to the royal family's secret realm.

Of course, this is just speculation.

Seeing that he was unwilling to say more, Lin Hanqing did not press him further.

......

Deep within the Wanyao Mountains, a gray-white stone palace stands.

Inside the hall, one after another, demonic beasts were feasting.

Their food is none other than living, breathing human beings.

Screams, chewing, and swallowing sounds mingled together.

This creates a cruel scene.

At the very top of the hall, on a throne made of human bones, a crimson fox spirit lay languidly.

Its body was no more than half the size of a human, but the aura it exuded was breathtaking.

When it sits there, it is the supreme king.

It is the master of the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains, the Three-Tailed Celestial Fox.

Suddenly, a beam of light shone down from above the stone palace.

"Bah!"

Accompanied by a thunderous sound that shook the heavens and split the clouds, a golden bolt of lightning struck from the beam of light.

As the golden light faded, a golden-winged eagle stood proudly in the stone hall.

"Greetings, Your Excellency!"

Inside the hall, the demons who were feasting prostrated themselves on the ground.

"Jin Yao, what are you doing here?"

On the throne, the three-tailed celestial fox remained languid.

Jin Yao, who was revered as a celestial being, did not mind its attitude at all.

The Ten Thousand Demons Sect doesn't have as many rules as the Immortal Sect.

What they uphold is the supremacy of power.

If Chi Mei is stronger than me, then she can treat me this way.

"A little guy has awakened his innate supernatural power, and the boss wants me to take him back!"

As Jin Yao spoke, it reached out with its claws and seized a child.

"Wow..."

Crying arose.

Jin Yao's sharp beak gently pierced the child's skull.

"Gulp! gulp!"

It opened its mouth and sucked the mixture of blood and brain matter into its stomach.

The child's cries gradually weakened from a high pitch until they disappeared.

A moment later, Jin Yao released its claws, and the tattered clothes fell to the ground.

It narrowed its eyes, looked around, and began to select its next prey.

It's a rare opportunity to come out, so it's going to have a big meal.

"Boring!"

Chi Mei said with a disappointed look, "I thought we were going to head north and attack the Great Zhou!"

Although the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains are vast, they cannot compare to the Great Zhou Dynasty, where blood and food are abundant.

What it desires is to roam freely across the land and to keep human slaves without restraint.

Eating is merely the result.

The process itself is what brings it the most pleasure.

Of course, without the support of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect, it wouldn't dare to rashly charge out.

After all, even if the Ziyang Immortal Sect doesn't intervene, the Great Zhou still has powerful individuals capable of killing it.

"Red Enchantress, it's not just you who wants to break in; I also want the war to start as soon as possible."

But the fact that the leader hadn't spoken meant the time wasn't right.

Jin Yao shook his head, then grabbed another figure.

This time, it was a pregnant woman.

At this point, she was completely terrified and at a loss for what to do.

She trembled all over, and bloody liquid flowed from between her legs.

The next instant, claws tore open her chest.

"ah!"

Screams echoed through the hall.

Jin Yao opened his mouth and chewed up the unformed fetus and its internal organs.

By the time it finished eating, the pregnant woman had already died.

It casually tossed the pregnant woman to a black dog: "Here you go!"

"Thank you, Your Excellency!"

The black dog bowed respectfully, then swallowed the pregnant woman's remains whole.

"Xiao Bai, take Jin Yao with you and find that little guy who has awakened his primordial divine power as soon as possible."

Seeing this scene, Chi Mei gently waved her claws.

If it didn't intend to attack human territory, it wouldn't want to leave Jin Yao here for even a second.

"Yes, sir!"

Inside the hall, a voice came from a white jade pillar.

Upon closer inspection, it was clearly a giant, snow-white snake.

The bright red snake's tongue flickered in and out, and the giant snake's vertical pupils lengthened.

"Red Demon, don't rush!"

Even if you stay here for a month, only one day will have passed inside the gate!

Jin Yao shook its head; it didn't want to find that little guy so soon.

Since we've finally managed to get out of town, we naturally have to eat our fill.

If it really wanted to complete the mission quickly, it could have simply taken the scales that the boss had given it.

If that little guy uses his primordial supernatural powers again, finding him won't be too difficult.

......

"Li Long, Li Xiaoxiao, Zhang Jian, Long Yun, Wu Jin, are you all from Haizhou?"

In Yunzhou, at the east gate of Tianyun City, the soldiers stationed there looked up and sized up Li Fan and his group of five.

"right!"

Li Fan nodded and said, "I heard there was something interesting to see in Yunzhou, so I came here specifically to join in the fun!"

"Haizhou isn't lively enough."

The soldier raised an eyebrow, then picked up the travel permits of the men and examined them closely.

"Where we want to go to join the fun is none of your business!"

Seeing the soldiers' attitude, Li Xiaoxiao expressed her dissatisfaction.

"I can't stop you from joining in the fun, but I can still prevent you from entering the city!"

The soldier glanced at Li Xiaoxiao and said irritably, "Take the travel permit, next!"

"you..."

"Brother, let's talk this out!"

Just then, Li Fan, with a smile on his face, pressed down on the hands of the soldiers guarding the city.

The ten-tael silver note had somehow covered the travel permit.

"Could you do us a favor and let us into the city?"

"This is probably...inconvenient!"

The soldier looked at Li Xiaoxiao and then said.

"Brother, how about this?"

Li Fan handed over another ten-tael silver note.

"Those from Haizhou are not necessarily barred from entering the city."

But remember this: Yunzhou is not the same as Haizhou.

Regardless of your background or social standing, you should keep a low profile.

If you're a dragon, you have to coil up.

Even if you're a tiger, you have to lie down.

After speaking, the soldier took the silver note and then stamped it with the seal.

......

"Master, is it really worth putting up with this nonsense?"

"Wouldn't it be better to just kill that kind of scoundrel with a single blow?"

As soon as they left the barbican, Li Xiaoxiao couldn't help but say.
