If you're going to fight for a moment's pride, you might as well put up with it.

Zhou Xuanye's sudden outburst has compressed the Sanbei Chamber of Commerce's living space.

But similarly, it will also draw the attention of others to him.

For example, that one in Tiandu.

Although he has kept a low profile for many years, it doesn't mean he will sit idly by and watch the King of Tianbei grow stronger.

Moreover, Zhao Tiegen had a vague feeling that...

The war in the North is not simple.

The battle between the Frostwolf Clan and the Azurehawk Clan is probably just the surface.

At a deeper level, it definitely involves the conflict between the immortal sects.

But he could only speculate about all of these things in his mind.

Of course, Zhao Tiegen would not verify his conjecture.

After all, that higher level was beyond his reach.

......

The same thing happened in Liaobei Prefecture and Linbei Prefecture.

The usually low-profile King Zhou Xuan'an of Liaobei and King Zhou Xingsheng of Linbei also displayed their great power.

They unleashed overwhelming power, sweeping aside other forces and securing all the spots.

......

Hezhou, Linlang Palace.

Lin Hanqing was packing her bags in her room when someone walked in through the door.

The visitor was none other than Xiao Qing, the master of Linlang Palace.

"Master!"

For some reason, Lin Hanqing felt a pang of discomfort when she uttered those two words.

Yang Xiaoqian's face involuntarily appeared in her mind.

If it weren't for me, Xiaoqian might not have died there.

"Han Qing, you stay here."

Leave this trip to the royal secret realm to me!

"Master, I..."

"Instead of being sad, it's better to live well."

Seeing Lin Hanqing's absent-mindedness, Xiao Qing continued, "Otherwise, Xiaoqian's death would be meaningless!"

Lin Hanqing lowered his head and remained silent, while Xiao Qing turned and left.

......

Deep within the Linlang Palace, in a secluded mountain forest, stands a new tomb.

At the grave, Yang Dong sat slumped, his body withered and emaciated.

The revenge has been taken.

But people can never come back to life.

If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have gotten involved with that kid in the first place.

Perhaps in this way, Xiaoqian wouldn't have gotten into trouble.

Let's go!

Just then, Xiao Qing's voice came.

She drifted through the air and appeared before the grave in the blink of an eye.

Yang Dong turned to look at Xiao Qing, his eyes no longer shining with their former brilliance.

He said nothing, yet it was as if he had said everything.

Walk?

Where else can we go?

“Sitting here, Xiaoqian won’t come back to life.”

Even the most invincible person will die if they don't eat or drink.

Since you've already decided to die, why not die in a more meaningful way?

This situation in the North was indeed orchestrated by Zhou Dingtian.

But his willingness to sacrifice himself to drag you into the destruction of the Yin Corpse Sect must be more than just revenge.

The only person I know who knows your whereabouts and is familiar with your past with Li Fan is Zhou Qingtian, the Prince of Zhennan.

Whether or not he was involved in the Northern Plans, he certainly knew who else might be involved.

"Let's go out, find the person behind this, and kill them. Only then can we appease Xiaoqian's spirit in heaven!"

Xiao Qing spoke calmly.

Yang Dong, who was sitting with his head down, gradually regained his composure.

yes!

Instead of doing nothing, we should find out who is really behind this.

I'm going to kill them all, wipe them all out.

"Xiaohua, I know what to do."

"You stay here, I'll handle this myself!"

Yang Dong looked at Xiao Qing, not having completely lost his mind.

He is invincible among men and is qualified to confront the mastermind behind the scenes.

But Xiao Qing and Linlang Palace are different, even though Xiao Qing is fourth on the Heavenly Hero Ranking.

They are still no match for truly top-tier experts.

"Twenty-one years ago, you left without saying goodbye."

Last month, you ventured alone into the North.

This time, you still want me to stay.

Yang Dong, do you think it's possible?

Xiao Qing looked at Yang Dong, his eyes now showing a hint of sharpness.

"I......"

"You don't need to say anything, I'll take charge of this matter."

Even if we go to Tiandu, you'll have to listen to me on how to get revenge.

Xiao Qing made the final decision, giving Yang Dong no chance to speak again.

......

Qingzhou, Broken Heaven Gate.

When the devastating news arrived from the north, Lü Xiaoyi seemed to have aged decades overnight.

Senior Brother Xu is dead. He died in the Northern Border!

All that Tingfenglou sent back was a spear broken in two.

The gun was cold, like the frost and snow of the North.

After sitting in seclusion for three days, Lü Xiaoyi finally emerged from his seclusion. "Send someone to Prince Yu's residence and tell them that the Duan Tian Gate will not be participating in this royal secret realm!"

With Xu Mang dead, both his power and the Duan Tian Sect had to rely on themselves to survive.

In any case, Lü Xiaoyi cannot take the risk.

If something happens to him, both forces will likely disappear into the past, which is something he cannot accept.

......

The news of Duan Tianmen's withdrawal quickly reached the Yu Prince's Mansion.

"Your Highness's divine might has subdued that scoundrel Lü Xiaoyi."

This struggle for the royal family's secret realm is destined to bring great prosperity to the Prince Yu's mansion.

Li Kang'an, the chief steward of the Prince's mansion, said with a fawning expression.

Prince Yu, Zhou Dingli, showed no joy on his face; his brows were furrowed and his gaze was solemn.

The royal secret realm offers benefits far beyond just the supreme treasure, the Dharma Body Pill.

That place is an absolute treasure trove, not only a place for people to hone their skills, but also a resource for the endless stream of Dharma fruits.

Originally, he was planning to make a big splash this time.

Of course, it wasn't about vying for the Dharma Body Pill.

Instead, taking advantage of the fact that everyone else's attention was focused on the Dharma Body Pill, he led his men to seize another batch of cultivation resources.

Although Lu Xiaoyi's departure allows him to lead more people.

But a sense of foreboding rose in his heart; he couldn't understand why Lü Xiaoyi would withdraw.

Could it be that... this battle for the royal secret realm is very dangerous?

If that's the case, should I change my plans?

"Kang An, pass the message down."

Duan Tianmen, understanding the greater good, was willing to relinquish its quota.

The Prince's Mansion does not wish to enjoy this alone, but rather to share it with the heroes of Qingzhou.

All practitioners of the Dharma Image Martial Arts are eligible to enter.

If the number of participants exceeds the limit, a martial arts competition will determine who gets the spots!

After a moment of contemplation, Zhou Dingli made arrangements.

The future is fraught with uncertainty.

He would rather miss out on certain opportunities than step into the abyss.

......

Yuzhou, Lingzong.

Changping Tai is making final arrangements.

Changwen and Changwu stood by, diligently recording certain information.

Just then, a look of astonishment flashed in Changping Tai's eyes.

He then waved his hand, signaling Changwen and Changwu to leave.

After the two left, a young nobleman appeared out of nowhere.

The man was dressed in a white robe and wore a white jade crown. The folding fan he was holding seemed out of place.

Judging from his attire, he was no different from any other dissolute young master in the city.

But Chang Pingtai bowed respectfully and said, "Pingtai greets the Ancestor!"

The young man was none other than Chang Heng, the patriarch of the Lingzong sect.

He looked at Chang Pingtai and said softly, "I'll go with you to this royal secret realm!"

These words, however, stirred up a storm in Changping Tai's heart.

The ancestor is already invincible among men, why would he want to get involved in this mess?

Could it be that there's some earth-shattering secret behind this battle for the royal family's secret realm?

"Ancestor, this trip of yours..."

"When it's your turn to know, I will tell you!"

Chang Heng closed his folding fan, and Chang Pingtai said no more.

To be honest, he wasn't familiar with this mysterious ancestor.

Over the years, he has only paid his respects to the emperor a handful of times.
