(PS: Infusion in the left hand, typing with the phone in the right hand, I’m really quite impressive~)

While Ling Feng was in secluded cultivation, the interior of this dilapidated ancient city was anything but peaceful.

"Senior Brother Murong!"

"Brother Gongsun!"

Accompanied by several cries of surprise, almost everyone in the temporary dwelling place for the geniuses of East Spirit Immortal Pond was alarmed.

As the recognized strongest in Eastern Spirit Domain, Shi Haoxuan naturally had to step forward, only to see Murong Bai, Gongsun Long, and other Eastern Spirit Domain genius martial artists badly injured and unconscious!

"What exactly happened?"

Shi Haoxuan frowned deeply, staring at the other martial artists who delivered them, and asked in a heavy tone.

"It was... the people from West Sword Domain!"

A Yunluo Sacred Land disciple clenched his fist and said hatefully, "They... they claimed to be disciples of Dragon Sword Mansion!"

"Again with the West Sword Domain!"

In Shi Haoxuan’s eyes, anger surged. He believed he had been sufficiently patient in facing other domain talents, even hiding in the most peripheral zones of the ancient city without directly confronting West Sword Domain people.

Yet even so, those West Sword Domain people still came to pick a fight!

"Damn it!"

Shi Haoxuan tightly clenched his fists, pounding heavily on a stone pillar, causing the already broken hall to tremble and almost collapse.

"Ah..."

Ao Jue sighed lightly, took some elixirs from the Spirit Storage Ring, and fed them to the injured disciples. Compared to others, the Yunluo Sacred Land’s alchemy was indeed the highest among the Three Great Sacred Lands of Eastern Spirit Domain.

At this moment, Murong Bai and Gongsun Long’s robes were torn and bloodstained in several areas, their faces pale, showing an appearance of being breathlessly dying.

After a while, as the elixir’s effects dissipated, the two’s eyelids trembled, and they slowly opened their eyes.

Surrounding Eastern Spirit Domain talents rejoiced.

Perhaps in the outside world, the talents of the Three Great Sacred Lands may not get along, even experiencing minor friction. But under the oppression of other Outer Domain talents, the disciples of Three Great Sacred Lands naturally became unprecedentedly united.

Ao Jue checked their conditions again, shook his head, and sighed softly, "Although they’re not in mortal danger, it seems they won’t be able to recover normal actions anytime soon. For the remaining time, they can only lie here in cultivation until Sunset Ancient City closes and they’re teleported out."

Murong Bai and Gongsun Long, upon hearing Ao Jue’s words, both looked like death, struggling to obtain the opportunity to enter Sunset Ancient City seeking fortune, only to end up lying on the bed recovering like a cripple.

As for fortune, don’t even think about it!

Suddenly, there was a noisy sound outside.

"What’s going on?"

Shi Haoxuan’s expression changed. Since entering the Sunset Ancient City, he truly experienced the helplessness of being a weakling.

"Hahaha, you Eastern Spirit Domain little lackeys actually found such a ’good place’? Tsk tsk tsk, you have the audacity to just settle here, didn’t you seek the opinions of our Dragon Sword Mansion before doing so?"

Two youths walked in from outside.

One looked like a foppish young master, while the other was tall and burly, resembling a guard beside the youth.

"Dragon Sword Mansion people!"

Shi Haoxuan frowned, pointed at Murong Bai and Gongsun Long lying on the haystack, and asked in a heavy tone, "Was it you who injured our people?"

"So what if it was?"

The white-clad youth arrogantly said, "I, Long Tengyuan, do not need to seek your opinion on whom I want to fight!"

"You!"

Shi Haoxuan was instantly fuming with rage. He was the top talent in Eastern Spirit Domain, with almost no rivals among his peers, never having endured such humiliation.

"Humph!"

Long Tengyuan’s eyes flashed with disdain, looking coldly at Murong Bai and Gongsun Long and said with a sneer, "Not dead? Such tenacious lives!"

Shi Haoxuan clenched his fists and took a deep breath, forcefully suppressing his inner fury, "Aren’t you being excessively bullying?"

"Excessively bullying?"

Long Tengyuan pointed at Murong Bai and shouted sharply, "This lowly fellow, I generously asked him to deliver a message for me, yet he was not grateful and even dared to attack me! Would you say he deserves death?"

With this, a group of Eastern Spirit Domain talents were gritting their teeth with hatred. People were injured so badly by you, yet you shamelessly said they deserved it!

Damn you should be the one to die!

"What message did you want them to deliver?" Shi Haoxuan asked through gritted teeth.

"Did I not come here personally?"

Long Tengyuan grinned, "Your Eastern Spirit Domain people dare settle in our Dragon Sword Mansion territory without offering us appropriate compensation. That’s quite audacious, isn’t it?"

"What do you mean by your territory?"

"When did Sunset Ancient City become your Dragon Sword Mansion territory?"

In an instant, Eastern Spirit Domain talents were boiling. These Dragon Sword Mansion people were overly tyrannical.

"Humph, you Eastern Spirit Domain trash wouldn’t know this is the territory divided by West Sword Domain and Beihai Domain. Though you’re here for the first time, you still must obey!"

Long Tengyuan scanned them with a terrifying aura, pressuring the Eastern Spirit Domain talents, making them shrink their necks and dare not speak.

Indeed, Eastern Spirit Domain people entered Sunset Ancient City’s tenth-layer space for the first time, but this was clearly the city’s most peripheral zone. How did it become your Dragon Sword Mansion’s territory?

Ultimately, it boiled down to whose fists were bigger.

The weak are destined to be oppressed and exploited.

"Don’t say I didn’t give you a chance. Now, two paths lie before you.".

Long Tengyuan coldly said, "First, all Eastern Spirit Domain people are wiped out, leaving no survivors! You must understand that Dragon Sword Mansion has that capability!"

Shi Haoxuan clenched his fists, hissing, "What is the second path?"

"The second, huh. Humph, Dragon Sword Mansion is magnanimous, naturally accommodating others. As long as you offer ample compensation, you can stay here as long as you wish. Not only that, Dragon Sword Mansion can protect you from other forces, preventing them from easily attacking you."

Long Tengyuan squinted and smiled coldly, "How about this condition? Isn’t it pretty favorable?"

Favorable?

A group of Eastern Spirit Domain talents was nearly enraged to the point of spewing fire.

This is simply banditry and robbery!

Shi Haoxuan was almost in a fury but was held back by Ao Jue and a few others.

Small patience yields big rewards; with Eastern Spirit Domain’s current disadvantage, tearing faces might truly lead to the scenario Long Tengyuan proposed—all Eastern Spirit Domain talents massacred.

By then, even someone as strong as Shi Haoxuan might not escape unscathed.
