"Phew, we should be there now." Standing in the air, Ling Dong covered his forehead with his hand and tried his best to look at the city by the sea in the distance.
Speaking of which, Ling Dong was quite depressed. He was a peak Star Venerate, but he actually got lost while rushing to Liao Province's Zhaohai City.
However, when Ling Dong arrived at the Smoky Fire Valley from the Liao Province's Sea of Zhaohai City, he sank to the bottom of the sea so that the Ying Clan's Martial Army could fight with the Three Zhu Yi Elders. Thus, he did not know the direction.
Furthermore, on the sea, the sky and the sea were the same color, making it difficult to tell the direction. Ling Dong went past a few small cities and finally met two cultivators who went out to sea to search for treasures. After asking for directions, he finally found the right direction.
The journey, which should have taken only a day, took Ling Dong close to three days before he saw Zhaohai City again.
When he flew closer and saw the appearance of Zhaohai City, Ling Dong's face suddenly darkened. The originally majestic walls of Zhaohai City were full of cracks, and there were even places where they had collapsed.
Near Zhaohai City, there was a huge crowd of people who were busy repairing the city. However, the newly ground green stones on the walls of Zhaohai City looked a little out of place with the original walls covered in green moss.
Although they were new, they did not have the original ancient and dignified aura. The overall beauty was gone. Needless to say, this was the result of Ling Dong's bad karma.
That day, in order to resist the attack of the Star Asura Divine Palace, he had allowed the Mountain God Yin Kang to use his divine technique to draw the power of the earth veins. This had caused a huge impact.
As he approached Zhaohai City, Ling Dong hesitated. He was here to look for Old Hai, but he did not know where Old Hai was.
"Should I ask someone?"
"Hey, Brother Hu, quick, quick, send the signal. That person is here. It's the person the higher-ups ordered." Just as Ling Dong was about to find a martial artist with a higher cultivation base to ask, his ears suddenly perked up as he heard the voices of two martial artists in the distance talking in pleasant surprise. Just as he was wondering, a golden symbol light suddenly flew up into the sky and exploded.
Dozens of cultivators gathered around the Zhenhai City as soon as the golden light of the talisman rose. They were holding talisman statues in their hands as they looked at Ling Dong and compared him to him. However, their expressions were full of awe.
Ling Dong pondered for a moment and understood the reason behind this. He stood there motionless, and within a few breaths, hundreds of rays of light shot up into the sky from the city.
Ling Dong glanced over and saw Bai Han leading a group of over a hundred cultivators rushing towards him. As he flew, he shouted, "All of you, line up properly and greet our distinguished guests."
Seeing this, a smile appeared on Ling Dong's face. He had not expected that this trip to the Star Dou Mountain Range would allow him to form such a good relationship with the local forces of Liao Province's Zhenhai City. He had actually turned Bai Han from an enemy into a friend, and had even taken him in as a little brother.
Bai Han, perhaps because he had obtained the Misty Emerald Bamboo's liquid, which allowed his Soul to fuse perfectly with his fleshly body that was possessed by the Spirit Snatcher, he had actually modified his physique a little these days, causing his fleshly body to grow a little taller and thinner.
Although his general appearance had not changed, he was no longer short and fat like he had been a few days ago. Waving a folding fan in his hand, he looked elegant and elegant. Moreover, due to the perfect soul fusion, not only had his cultivation recovered, but he had also broken through to the Eighth Order Star Monarch Realm. He was extremely proud of himself.
"Big Brother, Big Brother Ling, I'm late, I'm late!" Bai Han's shout attracted everyone's attention to Ling Dong.
After that, Bai Han whispered to Ling Dong with shifty eyes, "Big Brother Ling, can you remove the words' short and fat 'from my name?"
Ling Dong smiled and did not say anything. Bai Han shouted to the people behind him, "Everyone, come and greet my big brother. Remember, his surname is Ling, and his name is Dong. In the future, in Zhenhai City, no, in the entire Liao Province, his words are my words, and his decisions are my decisions. "
"Hiss …" The cultivators behind Bai Han sucked in a breath of cold air. Among the cultivators following Bai Han today, even the weakest one was at the late stage of the Constellation Realm. Nearly a third of the cultivators were at the late stage of the Celestial Monarch Realm. There were even six or seven cultivators at the late stage of the Celestial Monarch Realm.
Hearing Bai Han's words, the hundred or so cultivators behind Bai Han were shocked. Among them, there was a rather experienced Mid Star Monarch Realm cultivator. When he heard Bai Han's words, he frowned and stepped forward. "Young Master, isn't this inappropriate? Aren't you taking this too lightly? How can an outsider's words carry as much weight as Young Master's in Liao Province? "
Hearing this, the joy on Bai Han's face turned cold. "Why, Zhao Tianyi, are you doubting my decision? I'll tell you the truth today. Big Brother Ling's decision is my decision. He can decide the entire Liao Province's affairs with a single word … "
Hearing Bai Han's ridiculous decision, the cultivators behind Bai Han couldn't bear it. This decision was too light. How could a stranger who had just arrived decide the affairs of Liao Province?
However, when they saw the two beams of light shooting over from the sea, they immediately looked expectant.
"Han 'er, you're wrong." What surprised the martialists behind Bai Han was that Old Hai, one of the two martialists who had shot over, immediately started lecturing Bai Han as soon as he arrived. Zhao Tianyi, who had just spoken, even raised his head high.
"Old Hai, Father …"
Just as Bai Han was about to argue, Old Hai spoke again. "From today onwards, Young Master Ling's decision is not only your decision, but also my and your father's decision."
After that, Old Hai cupped his hands towards Ling Dong and said, "Young Master Ling, from today onwards, Liao Province's affairs will be decided by you."
"Hiss …" Gasps could not be suppressed this time. The faces of all the martial artists behind Bai Han were filled with uncontrollable shock and bewilderment.
What was going on?
How could Liao Province change so quickly? According to Old Hai, this young man named Ling Dong was the new master of Liao Province. His cultivation seemed to be only at the early stage of the Star Monarch Realm. How could he be so powerful?
However, doubts were just doubts. As the wrinkled face of the old man beside Old Hai darkened, the doubts on the faces of the cultivators behind Bai Han disappeared without a trace. All of them stood solemnly with their hands by their sides and kept quiet out of fear!
At this time, Bai Han's father, the wrinkled old man Ling Dong, cupped his hands slightly and said, "This must be Young Master Ling. This old man, Bai Bai Xuan, greets you!"
"This must be Uncle Bai. Junior Ling Dong greets you." As the saying went, everyone had to carry a beautiful sedan chair. Whether it was the high and mighty Immortal Kings or the muddle-headed peddlers of the world, they all needed face.
This was a principle that Ling Dong had comprehended in his previous life. Perhaps because of their different realms, those high and mighty existences didn't need the respect of most people. However, under certain circumstances, it was necessary.
For example, now that Ling Dong knew the current situation, Old Hai had done his best to make Bai Han's father, whose name shook Liao Province and deterred the forces of other provinces from invading Liao Province, greet him first. This was already giving him a lot of face.
If Ling Dong didn't know what was good for him, it might have been a bad thing. Now, perhaps it was even better.
"Good, good, good!" Bai Bai Xuan stared at Ling Dong, his eyes flashing. He said "good" three times in a row before saying, "Young Master Ling has come from afar. Please come to the small island where this old man usually lives in seclusion."
Upon hearing this, the martialists behind Bai Han were shocked once again. They knew about the small island where their old master lived in seclusion. That was a forbidden area in the entire Liao Province. Including Young Master Bai Han, there were no more than five people who could step onto that small island. Now, he actually dared to directly invite Ling Dong to step onto that island.
With this discovery, some people put away the last bit of hope in their hearts and no longer dared to look directly at Ling Dong.
"We dare not disobey!"
The host and guest competed with each other in politeness and flew towards the Liao Province Sea. After flying for a while, a small island with a radius of a few miles appeared in front of Ling Dong. Bai Han, who was in the lead, sent a seal light down and the protective boundary protecting the island immediately opened.
The moment the protective boundary opened, thick World's Origin Qi sprayed out. What Ling Dong found strange the most was that there was a strange smell mixed in. Ling Dong took a sniff and felt incomparably refreshed.
"Please!"
When Ling Dong followed them into the interior of the island, he was even more shocked. The interior of the small island was filled with the sound of birds and the fragrance of flowers. The air was filled with an incomparably fresh fragrance. Just taking a breath would make Ling Dong feel incomparably comfortable.
"Eh, there are actually a large number of Bodhi Light Trees here?" While Ling Dong was surprised, Mountain Deity Yin Kang's slightly surprised voice came from his Sea of Consciousness.
"Bodhi Light Trees? Are you talking about those trees that emit a refreshing fragrance and are greatly beneficial to Soul cultivation? "Ling Dong's eyes swept over the emerald green, ancient trees that covered the island.
"That's right. These were trees that every True God needed in their own cave dwellings. I didn't expect to see them here again, and to be able to grow so many of them. It's really strange." Mountain God Yin Kang sighed. "The fragrance here is so strong that an ordinary warrior who breathes in it will be equivalent to half a month of Soul cultivation."
"What, are these Bodhi Light Trees very difficult to grow?" Ling Dong asked.
"Of course, if there is no special planting method, the trees will not sprout and take root. Even if there is a mature tree, it will wither and die within a few months." Mountain God Yin Kang suddenly reminded Ling Dong solemnly, "Ling Dong, you have to be careful. Perhaps there is an expert behind the father and son of the Bai Family."
"An expert?" Ling Dong nodded his head in confusion.
Bai Han gave Ling Dong a brief introduction along the way. Ling Dong, accompanied by Bai Bai Xuan and Old Hai, went straight to the center of a small pavilion on the island and sat down as the host and guest.
After some re-introductions, the two sides officially met and Bai Han personally served tea.
"Young Master Ling, please forgive me. This old man has nothing to do on this small island, so I do everything myself," Bai Bai Xuan said.
Ling Dong smiled and nodded. Then he cupped his hands at Bai Bai Xuan. "I have long heard that there is an extraordinary hidden existence in Liao Province who intimidates the other provinces and doesn't dare to touch Liao Province. I have always wanted to see him in person. Today, I see that he is indeed extraordinary."
"Extraordinary …" Bai Bai Xuan sighed, his eyes filled with bleakness.
When Ling Dong showed a slightly puzzled expression, Old Hai took the opportunity to ask, "Young Master Ling, when you saw Island Master Bai today, did you find anything unusual?"
"Unusual?" Ling Dong looked at Bai Bai Xuan with some doubt and sent out his Divine Sense. Previously, out of courtesy, Ling Dong hadn't excessively visited Bai Bai Xuan.
Now, Ling Dong's expression couldn't help but become heavy.
