In the distant Eastern Sea Region, a famous island stood above the vast sea.
At one end of the island, a city was being rebuilt from the ruins.
However, not far from the disaster, the sky above the city still seemed to be filled with a sorrowful atmosphere.
Behind the city was one of the two major sects of Penglai Immortal Island, the Qianshan Sect.
Halfway up the mountain, the current sect leader of the Qianshan Sect, Zhan Hongtu, looked at the foot of the mountain. The white hair on his head was more obvious than before, and even the aura on his body seemed to be much weaker than before.
Ever since he took Huo Hongyu as his disciple and did everything he could to build a relationship with He Yiming, the Qianshan Sect's power and influence in the entire Eastern Sea was greatly shaken. Even Zhen Wanqing, who dominated the other half of Penglai Immortal Island, gave in to him.
It could be said that the Qianshan Sect was the undisputed number one overlord of the entire Penglai Immortal Island, and no one could challenge its position.
However, all of this changed bit by bit after that hateful Western Divine Dragon suddenly attacked Qianshan City.
Not only were the disciples in the sect panicking, but even the ordinary small sects led by the Spirit Vulture Valley became restless.
Zhan Hongtu knew that Zhen Wanqing might not be willing to get involved. However, as the second major sect of Penglai Immortal Island, once there was a good opportunity to rise up, she would definitely not turn a blind eye.
The city could be rebuilt if it was destroyed, and the disciples could be retrained if they died. However, if the morale and people's hearts were scattered, then it would be extremely difficult for the Qianshan Sect to rise up again.
Raising his head and looking at the horizon in the distance, Zhan Hongtu sighed in his heart.
He Yiming had told him through Zhang Heti that he wanted to avenge the people who were killed by the evil dragon. However, Zhan Hongtu did not have any hope in his heart.
After all, it was a Divine Beast that went on a killing spree in the city. Moreover, it was the most powerful Divine Beast, the Dragon Clan.
Even though He Yiming was a Deity Realm powerhouse too, to talk about being able to successfully slay a dragon, this possibility was likely negligible too.
At this moment, what he hoped for the most was actually not He Yiming going far away to take revenge, but that this Supreme Dao elite could stay in Qianshan City.
As long as he could keep watch over this place, Qian Mountain Sect would never fall. No other sect would be able to shake the foundation of the sect.
But unfortunately, the whereabouts of a Supreme Dao elite like He Yiming was not something that he could decide.
Moreover, what worried her the most was whether He Yiming would vent his anger on others after he became enemies with the Divine Dragon. Zhan Hongtu's heart turned cold at the thought that the divine dragon egg came from within the Qian Mountain Sect.
Zhan Hongtu once again turned his gaze to the city that was being rebuilt. He suddenly felt that even he couldn't see through the future of the Qianshan Sect.
Suddenly, Zhang Heti rushed over and carefully said, "Sect Master, Senior Zhen Wanqing and several other seniors from Spirit Vulture Valley have arrived. They're in the hall halfway up the mountain and want to see you."
Zhan Hongtu let out a long sigh and said, "What should come should come."
Zhang Heti lowered his head and didn't dare to say anything. However, his eyes were filled with anger.
After more than a month, the situation on Penglai Immortal Island had become complicated. It was widely spread on the island that the Qianshan Sect had lost the protection of the Northwest He Family Village. That was why divine beasts had entered the island to attack Qianshan City.
This rumor spread more and more fiercely on Penglai Immortal Island. Even many disciples in the Qianshan Sect were skeptical.
At this moment, the purpose of Zhen Wanqing and the others' visit was obvious.
Zhan Hongtu got up and slowly walked into the hall. As he walked, the aura on his body changed subtly.
By the time he arrived outside the hall, the dejected feeling he had before had completely disappeared. His entire being was brimming with energy, and his eyes were brimming with vigor. He had completely regained the bearing and prestige of the Penglai Immortal Island's number one sect master.
In the hall, there were four people sitting separately. Other than Zhen Wanqing, there were two men and one woman.
After seeing Zhan Hongtu appear, they stood up at the same time. Although the four of them had different attitudes, they all gave Zhan Hongtu enough respect.
Zhan Hongtu looked around and sneered in his heart.
He nodded slightly at them and said loudly, "Venerable Zhen, Venerable Lin, Venerable Du, Venerable Hua, you've all come from afar. Please forgive me for not welcoming you."
Zhen Wanqing waved her hand slightly and said, "Brother Zhan, you're too polite."
Among the two men and one woman, one was the silver-haired middle-aged man, Lin Cenghe, the other was the shrewd and capable Du Yonggui, who was dressed in black, and the last was the charming middle-aged woman, Hua Lingyan.
Zhen Wanqing, who was in the Spirit Vulture Valley, was naturally an old friend who had gone through thick and thin together. Moreover, she had personally seen He Yiming and Chu Haozhou's strength. Even at this time, she wouldn't dare to do anything excessive.
However, the other three were different. They had all suddenly become Venerables in recent years.
Behind them, each of them represented a medium-sized sect. The strength of the sects that they represented was only second to the Qianshan Sect and the Spirit Vulture Valley on the Penglai Immortal Island.
Nevertheless, they had been completely suppressed by the Qianshan Sect and the Spirit Vulture Valley all along, and they couldn't have greater development.
Now that they heard the rumors about the Qianshan Sect and saw the miserable situation of the city with their own eyes, they could not sit still anymore.
This could not be blamed on them for being reckless. It was because at this critical moment in the development of their sects, if they could really pull down the colossus that was the Qianshan Sect, their 3 sects would undoubtedly be able to enjoy the greatest benefits.
Moreover, if the rumors were true, the Qianshan Sect would undoubtedly be at its weakest at this time. Therefore, if they were in different places, Zhan Hongtu would also come with everyone to find out the truth.
Lin Cenghe took a step forward. His silver hair fluttered in the wind, and he gave off an otherworldly aura. He had only become a Venerable One after the outside world's Heaven and Earth power had skyrocketed over the years, but his bearing was stern. He actually had a faint tendency to be able to contend with a master like Zhan Hongtu.
"Brother Zhan, I heard rumors that Qianshan City was destroyed by the western evil dragon, and there were countless casualties in the city." Lin Cenghe paused for a moment and said, "The Penglai Immortal Island is of the same breath and branch. Since that evil dragon attacked Qianshan City, it's a provocation to all the sects on the island. We definitely can't stand by and do nothing."
Du Yonggui and Hua Lingyan repeatedly agreed. Only Zhen Wanqing faintly rolled her eyes.
With their strengths, if they really stood in front of the western divine dragon, they would not even be qualified to fill the gaps between the dragon's teeth.
Zhan Hongtu's expression did not change. He thanked them with a smile, but he was cursing in his heart.
These fellows said nice things. If they really wanted to help, they should have rushed over as soon as they received the news.
However, after delaying for more than a month and seeing that the western divine dragon had disappeared without a trace, they finally arrived late. This was not working together at all. Instead, it was a classic case of bullying the weak and fearing the strong. They also had the intention of taking advantage of the situation.
The few of them chatted for a while. Lin Cenghe and the other two intentionally or unintentionally changed the topic to the direction of the divine dragon, but Zhan Hongtu was not very interested in it.
Lin Cenghe and the other two looked at each other. Hua Lingyan smiled and said, "Brother Zhan, I heard that He Yiming visited the Penglai Immortal Island last month. I wonder where he is now. Can he allow us to meet him?"
Zhen Wanqing's eyes suddenly focused. She came this time without any ill intentions. However, if she could meet He Yiming now, it could be considered a worthwhile trip.
After all, He Yiming's weight now compared to the past was like heaven and earth.
Zhan Hongtu's face showed a peaceful smile and said, "Venerable Hua, I'm really sorry. Divine Lord He only stayed in Qianshan City for a few days before he was attacked by the western evil dragon. He attacked and repelled the evil dragon, but he didn't expect the evil dragon to be so cunning. It actually attacked Qianshan City … "He paused and looked at everyone with deep meaning. He said in a deep voice," After Divine Lord He found out, he went to chase after it. "
Lin Cenghe's face twitched slightly. No matter how one looked at it, it seemed to be a fake smile. He said slowly, "Brother Zhan, the few of us have discussed. In order to prevent the western evil dragon from attacking again, we are willing to stay in Qianshan City for a while. What does Brother Zhan think?"
Du Yonggui immediately said, "Brother Lin is right. Since Divine Lord He has already chased after it, there will be news soon. We can also wait here slowly."
Hua Lingyan also nodded repeatedly with a face full of agreement.
Zhan Hongtu smiled. He immediately understood what these people meant.
As the saying goes, it is easier to invite a god than to send him away. These people stayed here just to confirm whether the rumored Divine Lord He had really abandoned Qianshan Sect. If that was the case, with the combined strength of the 3 newly advanced Venerable Ones, although they would not be able to raze Qianshan Sect to the ground, they would at least be able to obtain considerable benefits. They would not be completely suppressed by the 2 sects on the island like before.
"Venerable Zhen, what do you think?" Zhan Hongtu asked slowly.
Zhen Wanqing smiled gently and said, "Brother Zhan, do you still need to ask after our many years of friendship? Leave a cave abode in your Qianshan Sect and let me stay here for a while. "
Zhan Hongtu's heart immediately relaxed, but the expressions of Lin Cenghe and the other 2 did not look too good.
Zhen Wanqing actually asked to stay in Qianshan Sect and not Qianshan City. Wasn't this making it clear that she wanted to join forces with Zhan Hongtu?
For a moment, the atmosphere in the entire hall seemed to be somewhat oppressive.
The 2 veteran Venerable Ones looked at each other and exchanged a knowing look. They secretly sighed.
After the change in the power of Heaven and Earth this time, not a single person from the 2 sects could break through the limit and become a Venerable One. Instead, people from the 3 unknown sects on the island broke through at the same time.
On the Penglai Immortal Island, the most advanced martial power represented the development and future of a sect. If Qianshan Sect and Spirit Vulture Valley still had a Venerable One holding down the fort, the situation would be completely different.
Lin Cenghe's expression changed slightly, but he immediately returned to calmness. He laughed and said, "Since Brother Zhan and Venerable Zhen have decided, we won't force you. Then, we'll stay here …"
"Roar …"
Just as he spoke up to here, an earth-shattering roar suddenly came from afar, interrupting his voice.
The expressions of everyone in the hall changed drastically. For some reason, a piercing chill invaded everyone's body. (To be continued. If you want to know what happened next, please go to www.qidian.com. There are more chapters. Support the author, support the original reading!)
