Shen Lingzi came quickly and left quickly as well.
As the light of water in the sky dissipated, Broad Creed Mountain instantly saw the light of day once more.
However, the chaotic Spiritual Qi in the air indicated that an earth-shattering battle had just taken place here.
While Broad Creed Mountain was completely safe, the situation in the Royal Reed Sea had already undergone a heaven-shaking, earth-overturning change once more.
After the Dim Darkness Sect had fallen and the headquarters of the Radiant Light Sect had fallen, the North Sea Sword Pavilion and Copper Men Island had been destroyed along with the North Sea Sword Pavilion and Copper Men Island!
As compared to the Dim Darkness Sect who was struggling at death's door and the Radiant Light Sect whose future was currently uncertain in the Clear Scenic Region, the North Sea Sword Pavilion and Copper Men Island were undoubtedly in an even more tragic state.
Copper Men Island, which had possessed the number one defensive location in the Royal Reed Sea in the past and had never been breached for thousands of years, had been directly exterminated!
The only Immortal Bridge Martial Saint in the anti-Xuan camp, the North Sea Sword Pavilion, was heading towards its end as well.
Within Broad Creed Mountain, Yue Baoqi, who had originally come here to visit Sikong Qing as a guest for a few days, having avoided a great tribulation, was currently feeling extremely heavy.
Although she had survived, her entire sect had been destroyed. Compared to rejoicing, Yue Baoqi felt more sorrow in her heart.
Not only was Shen Lingzi powerful, he had also utilised his advantage in speed to the maximum, such that the anti-Xuan coalition in the Royal Reed Sea had been hard pressed to reinforce each other as they were finally defeated one by one.
While he had met with a wall at Broad Creed Mountain, Shen Lingzi still swept through the Royal Reed Sea with a terrifying momentum.
On Broad Creed Mountain, Yuan Zhengfeng and the others dealt with the aftermath of the battle whilst also actively seeking news from the southern part of the Royal Reed Sea.
The final result was within his expectations, but it was also unexpected.
Facing a peak expert who was virtually not inferior to the Star Plucking Practitioner Guan Lide in the slightest, the Dim Darkness Sect decisively cowered.
After receiving the news that Copper Men Island had been breached, the Dim Darkness Sect had made a prompt decision to abandon their new headquarters which had just been established a few years ago and which had regained some of its former glory.
With a great enemy before them, Zhou Haosheng and the others could not be bothered with some awkwardness as they prepared to first join up with Broad Creed Mountain and the North Sea Sword Pavilion.
Unfortunately, as soon as they moved, they received news that the North Sea Sword Pavilion had also been breached.
Zhou Haosheng and the others immediately blacked out.
As compared to the area where the Dim Darkness Sect was active, Broad Creed Mountain was closer to the North Sea Sword Pavilion. Clearly, Broad Creed Mountain would be Shen Lingzi's next target.
While Lin Hanhua and the other experts of Golden Court Mountain were stationed at the westernmost side of the Royal Reed Sea, facing off against the experts of the southern Blazing Heaven Territory.
However, if he wanted to head there, he would undoubtedly be blocked by Shen Lingzi.
Those of the Dim Darkness Sect could only halt, returning to the southern part of the Royal Reed Sea.
The disciples with low and middle cultivation bases spread out and hid themselves.
Zhou Haosheng and the other higher echelon experts of the Dim Darkness Sect simply intended to temporarily leave the Royal Reed Sea to seek refuge.
Sadly, as the last major anti-Xuan power that Shen Lingzi had visited, the Grand Xuan Dynasty would not give the Dim Darkness Sect the chance to retreat so leisurely.
It was precisely in order to prevent the Dim Darkness Sect from directly escaping while Shen Lingzi was sweeping through the other three clans that the Grand Xuan Dynasty had dispatched two Lord Protectors, both of them experts of the sixth level of the Martial Saint realm. Leading numerous martial practitioners of the Grand Xuan Dynasty, they had arrived at the southern part of the Royal Reed Sea ahead of time to surround and suppress the Dim Darkness Sect.
This time, the Grand Xuan Dynasty was truly determined to exterminate them all, completely purging their enemies of the Royal Reed Sea.
No survivors, no captives. They would not even give their enemies a chance to flee!
Entangled by the Grand Xuan Dynasty martial practitioners, Zhou Haosheng and the others retreated as they fought, unable to extricate themselves.
Soon, the end of the world descended. After leaving Broad Creed Mountain, Shen Lingzi quickly arrived at the southern part of the Royal Reed Sea.
Still, Shen Lingzi had not gone all out at the end of the day.
Making use of the attention of Lin Hanhua and the others being drawn by the southern Blazing Heaven Territory, he launched a sneak attack, swiftly sweeping through the Royal Reed Sea in a lightning-fast manner.
Yan Zhaoge was on good terms with Golden Court Mountain, Gu Hong had helped Golden Court Mountain in capturing martial practitioners of the southern Blazing Heaven Territory, and Lin Hanhua's previous residence in the Royal Reed Sea had been a branch altar of the Dim Darkness Sect.
If it was just Copper Men Island alone, it would be fine. With the other three clans facing the threat of extermination, Golden Court Mountain would very likely intervene.
As opposed to avoiding the alliance of the anti-Xuan powers, Shen Lingzi's sudden attack this time was actually more for ending the battle before Lin Hanhua and the others intervened.
However, Lin Hanhua had been decisive beyond his expectations as he had quickly set off after receiving the news. While he had not been able to make it in time for the battle at Broad Creed Mountain, after confirming that Broad Creed Mountain was safe, he had pursued them all the way to the southern sea.
The two peak experts engaged in a brief yet intense battle in the southern part of the Royal Reed Sea.
In the end, neither of them had been able to do anything to the other. Facing Shen Lingzi's attack, Lin Hanhua had forcibly preserved the life of the Chief of the Dim Darkness Sect, Zhou Haosheng.
However, in the course of the battle, the shockwaves had affected the North Sea Sword Pavilion's Pavilion Master, Gu Hong, who had lost the ability to protect himself after being captured, causing him to be heavily injured and on the verge of death.
The two great sword cultivators confronted each other. In the end, Lin Hanhua retreated and returned to the western sea.
Because of his temporary departure, the southern Blazing Heaven Territory had become restless, and was already closing in on the borders of the southeastern Yang Heaven Territory.
Shen Lingzi and the others did not continue to pester him.
However, following the North Sea and the East Sea, the southern regions of the Royal Reed Sea had all returned to the Grand Xuan Dynasty's control as well.
Yuan Zhengfeng said, "I'm afraid that Golden Court Mountain really will not be able to care about the internal affairs of the Royal Reed Sea after this."
The battle between the southern Blazing Heaven Territory and the southeastern Yang Heaven Territory had already reached the point where it could erupt at any moment as a war that was even greater than the internal conflict of the Royal Reed Sea might erupt at any moment.
Fang Zhun looked at Yan Zhaoge's Northern Ocean Clone, "There is a very important problem now. That wound of the sky in the Phoenix Bearing Region of the Royal Reed Sea that leads to the Vast Ocean World has already fallen under the control of the Grand Xuan Dynasty."
The Northern Ocean Clone answered, "Send all our martial practitioners in the Vast Ocean World back to the Eight Extremities World."
"As for me, there is no need to worry. Besides the few of us, no one knows where my true body is, including those of the Vast Ocean World."
"Even if the people of the Vast Ocean World tell them that I first appeared in the region of the Bewildering Maze Sea, they would still not be able to find me."
If the other party wanted to descend, they would have to suppress their cultivation bases to below the fourth level of the Martial Saint realm.
The Northern Ocean Clone said, "Not knowing the specific location beforehand, it would be very difficult for martial practitioners of the third level of the Martial Saint realm to find me in the environment of the Bewildering Maze Sea. I had considered this in mind when I chose that place to enter secluded cultivation back then. Secrecy is the greatest form of protection."
As Yan Zhaoge, Fang Zhun and the others had predicted, the Grand Xuan Dynasty had indeed descended into the Vast Ocean World from the wound of the sky in the Phoenix Bearing Region.
Having long since been prepared for this, Broad Creed Mountain did not suffer any losses. Instead, it was Changli Mountain who suffered a bit as they were forced to abandon their headquarters, their disciples scattering and hiding in regions of sea like the Star Shifting Sea and the Bewildering Maze Sea to seek refuge.
Other powers of the Vast Ocean World made use of this to make things difficult for them, causing Changli Mountain to suffer greatly.
It was only after half a year had passed in the World beyond Worlds that Yan Di emerged from seclusion and Broad Creed Mountain no longer had to gather manpower for the Taiyi Imperial Breaking Formation as Yuan Zhengfeng and Feng Yunsheng successively headed to the Vast Ocean World that Changli Mountain could finally hold its head up high.
And as time passed, the day when Kang Ping and the others would be freed from the Clear Scenic Region was already right before their eyes. They might be able to see the light of day any day now.
One day, a figure suddenly descended from the sky in the capital of the Grand Xuan Dynasty.
In the city, when Shen Lingzi saw the newcomer, a faint smile appeared on his face. "Junior Apprentice Brother Shi, welcome back from the extraterritorial void."
