The Crimson Saint's feet were as white as jade, and he stood on the water's surface, his toes touching the water, creating ripples.

She said, "The young master has arrived at the River Styx. Let me tell you something: he discovered traces of many powerful figures in the City of Death. It is very likely that experts from various academies have also arrived in the River Styx waters, and there are also figures from top financial groups."

"He told me to tell you that you'd better be careful in your actions and never ruin his big plans, otherwise the consequences will be beyond your control."

Yinshan suddenly raised his head, his expression changed, and said, "Are those top financial magnates going to make a move too? What exactly happened decades ago that caused these financial magnates to retreat at the same time?"

The Crimson Saint said, "That matter is classified. Even if the young master is the successor of the black market, it will be difficult for him to get to the truth. However, we still need to ensure the safety of the Dragon Relic."

"If those top conglomerates also find out about this, then our operation in the underwater dragon palace will definitely be hindered. By the way, weren't you trying to kill a so-called genius with useless skills? Did you succeed?"

"I had already laid a trap, but unfortunately... that kid was too cunning and escaped into the River Styx. We are currently searching for him," Yinshan said somewhat awkwardly.

The Crimson Saintess chuckled sweetly and said, "You can even make mistakes on such a small matter. You really are a bunch of useless people! I hope you can resolve this matter here as soon as possible and not delay the young master's important business."

After saying this, the Crimson Saint Envoy transformed into a cloud of red mist, flew away, and disappeared into the water. Such a method was quite bizarre.

After Li Xu felt the powerful pressure disappear, he raised his head and looked at the spot where the Crimson Saint Envoy had stood, asking, "Senior Silver Mountain, who exactly was that person? Why were you afraid of her?"

Yinshan stood up, dusted off his knees, and said with a look of awe in his eyes, "She is one of the Seven Luminaries Saint Envoys among the ancient powerhouses, from the depths of the starry sky."

Li Xu asked in confusion, "The depths of the starry sky?"

Yinshan glanced at him and said, "Do you think this tiny celestial star is the entirety of the universe? This starry sky is extremely vast. I don't know what it's like now, but it used to be incredibly magnificent and colorful."

"Of course, I was also born at the end of the Doomsday. At that time, I only had the cultivation of the Nascent Soul Realm. Now that martial arts are flourishing, I have let go of the past. You are considered to have good aptitude in Tianxing."

"But in the past, compared with those true geniuses, you weren't even worthy of carrying their shoes. So put away your little schemes and just follow the young master."

Li Xu refused to accept defeat. He had an indomitable will and refused to believe that he was really that bad. He believed that one day he would become a superior person and be respected and feared by everyone.

With his formidable cultivation, Wang Hao swam at the bottom of the river, rapidly moving downstream. After a moment, he suddenly saw a dark cave entrance ahead.

Without hesitation, he went straight inside. Surprisingly, the underwater cave was a self-contained space, with faint array fluctuations at the entrance.

This place must have been a place of cultivation, but for some reason it was abandoned. Just then, Wang Hao suddenly felt a wave of weakness wash over him, and his powerful cultivation level receded like a tide.

"Cough cough!"

Without the suppression of his powerful cultivation, Wang Hao's injuries erupted directly. He knelt on one knee and coughed up drops of blood.

A sharp pain shot through my back, as if a flame was burning inside my flesh.

"I never expected that the Li family and the Red Moon Organization would join forces to eliminate me. It seems that my cultivation of both immortal and martial arts has been exposed. Cough cough."

Wang Hao coughed up another mouthful of blood. He quickly cleared his mind of distractions, focusing on healing his injuries before making any other plans. He then took out a healing pill, swallowed it, and began refining the pill's energy to heal his wounds.

Half a day later, Wang Hao's injuries had mostly healed. The reason he was able to recover so quickly was mainly due to his almost abnormal physical body.

Based on his current physical strength, he has already reached the late stage of the Golden Core Realm. With such a powerful physique, recovery will naturally be easier.

Another point is that the Ice and Fire Qilin Armor completely isolated the fiery true energy of the Phoenix Feather Arrow from the outside of the armor, preventing it from penetrating the body.

Having recovered from his injuries, Wang Hao left the cave, intending to head to the City of Death to meet up with Shi Mengqi, Yan Bing, and Li Bo.

However, as soon as he left the River Styx and entered the forest, he sensed a subtle fluctuation of true energy.

The air trembled with true energy, causing the fallen leaves to fly up and make a hissing sound as they collided, and a powerful killing intent rushed towards us.

"Whoosh."

Wang Hao's aura shifted, and he summoned the Yin-Yang Profound Iron Sword Embryo. A blinding cold light shot out from the sword's edge, and he asked in a cold voice, "Who goes there?"

"It's me." A gray-robed man emerged from the forest. He was rather thin and carried a simple iron sword on his back.

As he approached, a chilling aura emanated from him, an invisible killing intent that he couldn't conceal even if he wanted to, giving people a feeling of his sharp edge being exposed.

Wang Hao was slightly surprised and said, "You are Han Shuo!"

There was an indescribable determination in Han Shuo's eyes, like a sword, but when he saw Wang Hao, he smiled, just like when they first met.

"I am an undercover agent of the black market at the Burning Lamp Academy. I didn't expect your cultivation to have become so powerful after not seeing you for a while."

Wang Hao looked at him and said seriously, "Your identity hasn't been exposed, has it? Otherwise, Han Yue might also be implicated. Besides, she's doing well at the Burning Lamp Academy now, so you can rest assured."

Han Shuo nodded and said, "Don't worry, as long as you don't say anything, I'm not in danger of being exposed. By the way, I came to find you because I wanted to tell you something."

Wang Hao said, "Are you trying to say that the Li family and the Red Moon Organization sent Heavenly Realm experts to hunt me down? I've already fought with them."

Han Shuo was slightly surprised, not expecting that Wang Hao could escape from so many Heavenly Realm experts. However, this was not the important matter. He said in a deep voice, "These two forces are indeed terrifying."

"But the person behind them is even more difficult to deal with, and that person is very mysterious, seemingly a remnant soul from ancient times who has been reborn."

Wang Hao asked, "Who are you talking about?"

"The young master Yin Yi in the black market, after returning from the moon, his cultivation level skyrocketed in just a few days, like a rocket, and he is now under your command."

"A large number of powerful individuals have also gathered here, ranging from the early to late stages of the Heavenly Realm. Some of these individuals are possessors of ancient remnant souls, while others are local overlords of Tianxing."

"Also, you should know that there are several major conglomerates in Tianxing. Decades ago, they stopped operating in Tianxing due to some issues, but recently they have been appearing frequently."

"It can be said that the strongest group of people in Tianxing are almost all in the hands of major financial groups, so you must be careful. Moreover, Shi Mengqi's ancestral home seems to be a declining branch of the Shi family, a Chinese financial group."
