In the beginning, it did not cause much of a stir. However, Beichen Yue, Shi Mengjun, and Mu Xia's identities were not to be trifled with. The Profound Jade Court's unbridled behavior greatly infuriated the Honghao Heavenly Court.
Just as Star Cloud City's City Lord Xing Yichi was about to invite Lu Xiaotian and the rest for a meeting, the Honghao Heavenly Court sent three Golden Immortal mighty figures. Grotto Master Rong Xu even reprimanded Xing Yichi directly without giving him any face.
The conflict between Profound Immortals and Celestial Immortals had escalated to a confrontation between Golden Immortals. This made Ming Luo and the South Pill Heavenly Court feel that the situation was getting out of hand. They could also see that the relationship between Profound Jade and Honghao was far more tense and weak than what outsiders could see.
For a time, Star Cloud City was bustling with activity. There were many people who wanted to watch the competition. Not only were there Profound Immortals, but there were also many pill sages. After all, not only could there be a battle between peak Profound Immortals, but there could also be a pill battle between Tier Three pill sages. A bet of twenty million low-grade immortal crystals was enough to shock many people.
In addition to watching the show, they could also enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Chaotic Star Region. It was killing several birds with one stone.
Apart from that, there was also a considerable number of Profound Immortals and Celestial Immortals who came from all over the Profound Jade Court to cheer for them. Some of them had connections from the Honghao Heavenly Court. After all, Lu Xiaotian, Mu Xia, and the others' encounter in the Profound Jade Court had caused them to be extremely indignant.
In short, Star Cloud City was now more lively than ever before.
As one of the hottest topics in Star Cloud City, Lu Xiaotian was currently refining immortal pills in his battleship. Not a single piece of news from the outside world reached Lu Xiaotian's ears. Even if he knew, Lu Xiaotian would still ignore it.
Undercurrents were surging in Star Cloud City. At this moment, the battle between the immortal army of Nine Yang City and the demons in Luoyang Prison was in full swing.
"Have you heard? Our Nine Yang City's Deputy City Lord, the Golden Immortal mighty figure who was in charge of overseeing Luoyang Prison, Deputy City Lord Xue, has perished in Luoyang Prison."
At this moment, in a restaurant on an inconspicuous floating island in Nine Yang City, a diner lowered his voice and said, "At that time, Deputy City Lord Xue was fighting with Luoyang Prison's Corrosive Heart Demon and was struck in the chest by a palm that traversed space. He was instantly sent flying and vomited blood. If City Lord Jiu had not arrived in time, Deputy City Lord Xue would have lost his life on the spot. The Corrosive Heart Devil was most proficient in the Heart Devil Devouring Technique. It was said that no one could survive after being invaded by the Corrosive Devil Qi. Back then, when City Lord Ninth arrived, Deputy City Lord Xue was already unconscious. Although he was protected by several Heavenly Immortals, it is unknown if he survived. "
After saying that, the diner sighed. He seemed to feel sorry for Xue Daoyuan.
"That can't be. Deputy City Lord Xue has reigned supreme in Luoyang Prison for so many years and even experienced the Immortal Fiend Battlefield. He must have seen many storms. How could he have perished in a tiny Luoyang Prison?" Another diner was in disbelief.
"So what? Luoyang Prison has existed for so many years, but the Heavenly Court has never been able to completely subdue the fiendish demons within the Bone Prison. All they can do is constantly strengthen the defenses of the Luoyang Prison's perimeter to prevent it from growing stronger. Deputy City Lord Xue is a Golden Immortal mighty figure. That Corrosive Heart Demon is no weaker than Deputy City Lord Xue. Otherwise, why hasn't Deputy City Lord Xue shown himself after being rescued for so long? Why hasn't there been any news of him? "The diner from before said suspiciously.
Instantly, the restaurant was filled with sounds of discussion. At this moment, several groups of Immortal soldiers arrived on clouds in the void, faintly encircling the restaurant in a radius of several hundred kilometers.
The leader of the group, a young man, had a cold expression. With a casual wave of his hand, a small sword that was about a foot long instantly vanished from sight.
Hong, the tavern exploded, and a person flew out from inside. The green blade in his hand collided with the small sword that was about a foot long, and the shock waves that spread out turned the surroundings into ruins. The small sword shattered, transforming into countless sword qi that surrounded the bearded diner and slashed at him.
Rip … Rip … In the intense clash, his clothes were torn apart. The bearded diner's body twisted and turned into a green demonic creature with the head of a tree stump.
"Kill!" At this moment, the leader of the group was the Lotus Clone. During the battle in Luoyang Prison, large numbers of demonic creatures surged out of Luoyang Prison to fight the Immortal soldiers. Some of them were adept at concealment. They changed their auras and transformed into Immortal soldiers to sneak into Nine Yang City and cause destruction everywhere.
The Lotus Clone was originally responsible for guarding the Mountain Suppressing Sword. However, after fusing with the sword intent of the Seven Great Suppressing Swords, the Lotus Clone no longer needed to constantly guard the Mountain Suppressing Sword.
The Seven Great Suppressing Swords originally existed to protect Nine Yang City and Luoyang Prison. The fates of both sides were connected. At this moment, even if the Lotus Clone was a considerable distance away from the Mountain Suppressing Sword, as long as he was still in Nine Yang City, the connection between him and the Seven Great Suppressing Swords was still maintained. He could even mobilize part of the Seven Great Suppressing Swords' sword intent at any time.
Xue Daoyuan was indeed injured, and his injuries were more serious than expected. At this moment, Daoist Yi Hua had no choice but to spend more energy to protect Xue Daoyuan's life. He could only wait for Lu Xiaotian to retrieve the things he needed from the East Sea Dragon Palace before he could start refining pills. At this moment, he could only temporarily prevent the corrosive demonic qi in Xue Daoyuan's body from corroding too quickly.
Protecting Xue Daoyuan's life was important. After all, every Golden Immortal was a precious treasure to any Heavenly Court and could not be easily squandered. However, Lu Xiaotian's trip to the Profound Jade Heavenly Court was also of great significance to the Honghao Heavenly Court. Originally, going to the Profound Jade Heavenly Court to settle the matter of the competition between the two sides before heading to the East Sea Dragon Palace was undoubtedly the best choice.
However, Lu Xiaotian's group encountered Chu Zhaoyang, and Lou Yikong and the others did not play by the rules. This truly messed up their plans. Even Daoist Yi Hua did not expect Xue Daoyuan to be so deeply corroded by the corrosive demonic qi. If Lu Xiaotian could not retrieve the things he needed and return in time, Xue Daoyuan's strength would be greatly reduced even if he could protect his life. He would not be able to bear the heavy responsibility of suppressing a Heavenly Court in the Honghao Heavenly Court.
The demonic qi in Nine Yang City increased and decreased. A considerable number of demons had already escaped from the Luoyang Prison. The Nine Mountains City Lord led the main forces of the Immortal Army to stop the demon army in the Luoyang Prison. Meanwhile, people like the lotus clone were in charge of peeling off the demons that had escaped to various parts of Nine Yang City.
The vine demon in front of him was adept at concealment and transformation techniques. It had infiltrated Nine Yang City and spread news everywhere to sway the hearts of the people. This was the twenty-first demon the lotus clone had led the team to find. The previous ones had all fallen under the lotus clone's sword.
Although Lu Xiaotian's identity had been exposed and the Honghao Heavenly Court would become his enemy sooner or later, according to his original intention, the lotus clone did not need to worry about this for now. He just needed to do everything he could to increase his strength and his position in the Honghao Heavenly Court.
