With the fall of White Jade Sheng.

The morale of White Jade Sect's disciples completely collapsed.

After all, the only Shenjing seventh level on their side was instantly killed by the opponent—what hope is there for the rest?

Some of the cultivators who escaped did not venture far but kept a silent watch over the battle in Qingyu City.

When they saw White Jade Sheng fall without resistance, many cultivators' faces changed significantly.

"White Jade Sheng was killed instantly, just who did the Candle Sect send!"

"That method just now, it doesn't seem like Candle Sect's Abyss of Dark—how could it instantly kill a Shenjing seventh level cultivator?"

"I heard White Jade Sheng mention that the cultivator is called Zhongshan Chou, this name does seem familiar—"

These cultivators exchanged divine soul discussions.

Looking at the fallen corpse of White Jade Sheng, shock was evident in everyone's eyes.

The strength of this Qingyu City Lord was well known to them.

Shenjing seventh level!

And it's not just any ordinary Shenjing seventh level to compare.

The opponent possessed the White Jade Clan bloodline, with a rather high purity—regarding strength, even an ordinary Shenjing eighth level might not triumph easily.

However.

Such a powerful being fell silently.

That method.

Simply shocked all in the Shenjing realm.

Soon.

A cultivator realized something, and couldn't help but cry out.

"I remember now!"

The other cultivators turned to the source of the voice.

That cultivator didn't mind much and said with shock: "A short while ago, news arrived that there's a top-notch talent emerging in the Zhongshan Clan, who once slew numerous Shenjing seventh level on the Void Battlefield with a Shenjing fourth level.

Moreover, he has comprehended a powerful innate divine ability called Eyes of Time, which even drew an attack from the Mountain Emperor of Dushan Clan."

Mountain Emperor!

Upon hearing that name, the cultivators present were deeply shaken.

To be called Emperor.

Within the clan, only an emperor of a tribe holds that qualification.

Mountain Emperor.

Is the emperor of the Dushan Clan.

That's a being of the Divine King level—not an ordinary Divine King at that.

To be attacked by a Divine King and still survive, this person is not simple.

Quickly.

Other cultivators also recalled the name Shen Changqing.

For a moment.

Many cultivators had eyes flickering, some secretly relayed the news.

On the other side.

After slaying White Jade Sheng, Shen Changqing turned to look at the group of cultivators far from Qingyu City; his indifferent gaze chilled them to the bone.

Instinctively.

All cultivators avoided eye contact, fearing they might fall like White Jade Sheng.

Upon seeing this.

He ignored them.

Though there were many cultivators, killing them does not earn battle merits.

Battle Merit Token.

Not every Shenjing slain would be recorded.

Only those forces recognized by the Zhongshan Clan, when slain, would earn corresponding battle merits.

But how many forces are marked in the token, Shen Changqing couldn't be sure.

On the surface.

The enemies of the Zhongshan Clan were only a few clans.

But the problem is.

Beneath the clans, many subsidiary forces existed, forming a complex web.

As his foot landed.

Shen Changqing stepped on Zhu Yan's corpse, took its storage ring straightaway, and marked it with his own seal.

It is worth mentioning.

The storage ring size can transform; whether in Heaven and Earth Dao Body form or in tribal form, it can be worn seamlessly.

His divine sense delved inside.

Soon.

He took out all divine crystals stored inside, refining them to replenish his own consumption.

Although.

Any disciple is prohibited from privately hoarding spoils.

But in reality.

Slaying cultivators does not fall under private hoarding, but stored resources in places like Qingyu City must not be casually touched.

Moments later.

Shen Changqing refined all the divine crystals, reviving the dim divine fire to some degree.

"It's a pity the amount of divine crystals is too scarce; if there were more, it'd be possible for a full recovery—the Qingyu City Lord indeed seems poor."

He felt slightly regretful.

The storage ring didn't hold many divine crystals.

Nonetheless.

Though he thought so.

Shen Changqing also understood that such divine crystal resources were not insignificant.

In Zhongshan Chou's original storage ring, there were fewer divine crystals than this Qingyu City Lord's.

Candle Sect Direct Transmission.

Cannot compare with the status of a small city's city lord.

Then.

He turned his gaze to other parts of the battlefield.

Whether White Jade Sect's disciples or Candle Sect's disciples, instinctively avoided letting battle impacts reach Qingyu City, worried about potential damage.

In White Jade Sect disciples' view, Qingyu City was their property, not to be damaged recklessly.

And in Candle Sect disciples' view, even though Qingyu City was currently White Jade Sect's property, soon it would be theirs.

Thus.

How could they allow it to be destroyed?

No doubt.

White Jade Sect's strength was indeed formidable.

Within Qingyu City alone, there were many Shenjing, let alone Saint cultivators.

Candle Sect's one hundred and twenty disciples struggled to fully match White Jade Sect.

Luckily.

White Jade Sheng has fallen, causing White Jade Sect's morale to plummet.

As far as the eyes could see.

Shen Changqing observed everything on the battlefield intently.

Yet while watching the battlefield, his gaze lingered on Zhongshan Chong for a moment.

This Candle Sect true transmission disciple's opponent was a Shenjing sixth level powerhouse.
