Zhao Ziyu ultimately left the Nine Provinces with Xue Wushuang in the dead of night. The urgency of their departure stemmed from two reasons: on one hand, Xue Wushuang had demonstrated the profound Spell of the Water Moon Palace to Zhao Ziyu, while on the other hand, a single phrase from Xue Wushuang—"cutting through the chaos with a swift blade"—had solidified Zhao Ziyu's determination to enhance her strength, casting aside her identity as the Empress of Huaxia and leaving all the mess behind for Ye Huan, who remained unconscious.
As the night passed, it was uncertain whether Zhao Ziyu had reached the Eastern State. However, Zhao Ziyu's concerns for Ye Huan were somewhat alleviated; Ye Huan's condition seemed stable, with the bloody aura emanating from her body noticeably less intense than the previous day. Yet, Weiyang and the others were anxious, as even when a ray of sunlight pierced through the darkness and illuminated the land of the Nine Provinces, Ye Huan showed no signs of waking.
"I say, Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon, you’ve lived for over a thousand years as an Old Monster; can’t you do something to help Ye Huan? We can’t just sit here waiting forever!"
After sitting for an entire night, Weiyang felt a slight numbness in his backside. As a mage, his constitution was evidently not as robust as that of Bai Yulin and Black Shadow Flower, both Tenth-Level Beasts. Thus, upon seeing the sun rise, he couldn’t help but complain to the Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon beside him. He even carelessly referred to it as "Old Monster," completely oblivious to the flames that had ignited in the dragon's eyes as it glared at him.
It was no wonder that the Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon was angry. As a guardian beast of Huaxia and a member of the dragon clan, it didn’t think much of its long lifespan. However, it was not some turtle; how did it become "Old Monster" in Weiyang's mouth?
As it hesitated internally about whether to teach Weiyang a lesson about speaking recklessly, a sudden sound of breaking air reached its ears. The dragon instinctively looked up towards Tidewatch Town and saw that under the warm sunlight, countless cultivators were soaring through the sky on various Flying Swords, leaving trails of light as they headed westward—a truly spectacular sight.
"Golden Dragon? I’m asking you something; what are you looking at…"
After receiving no response from the Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon for some time, Weiyang turned his gaze toward where it was looking. Upon seeing that the dragon had raised its head to gaze at the sky, he followed suit. However, he was left speechless and stood frozen in place. Beside him, Bai Yulin and his wife, who had been resting with their eyes closed, seemed to sense something amiss and opened their eyes to look upward.
"What…"
Bai Yulin was bewildered by the sudden appearance of so many cultivators. His face was filled with disbelief as he instinctively prepared to transform back into his original form. However, at that moment, the Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon noticed his movement and quickly placed a golden claw on Bai Yulin's shoulder to stop him from transforming. It urged him firmly, "Do not act rashly; these people seem unaware of our presence. Let’s hide with Ye Huan for now."
"Hiding?"
Hearing what the Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon said, Bai Yulin did not respond, but Black Shadow Flower was quite puzzled by the decision made by the Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon. In her eyes, whether it was herself and her husband or the Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon, they were all formidable presences that had roamed the Nine Provinces Continent for many years. They valued their status above all else. Even if they could not defeat those thousands of Cultivators, those Cultivators would likely hesitate to act against them due to the strength of the Above Level Ten Beasts. Why were they hiding?
"Yes, although these people clearly do not belong to a single sect based on the colors of their Flying Swords, and their coordination is not as fierce as that of the disciples from Nine Yin Cave, we cannot rule out the possibility that there are some formidable experts among them that we cannot match. Given Ye Huan's current state, I think it is wise for us to avoid confrontation for now."
In response to Black Shadow Flower's explanation, the Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon's considerations were not without merit. However, he seemed to have forgotten one thing: when they had been standing still earlier, perhaps those Cultivators had not noticed their presence. But now that they wanted to evade these Cultivators, how could those already keenly aware Cultivators fail to detect them?
Thus, following the Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon's orders, Weiyang, who had the lowest cultivation level among them, had no choice but to take on the laborious task. He gritted his teeth and bore Ye Huan's terrifying bloody aura on his back. Just as he took a step forward, five Flying Swords suddenly rushed down from above Tidewatch Town, appearing right in front of Weiyang and blocking their path. On those Flying Swords stood five Daoists dressed in Dao Robes with their hair tied up. They did not seem like any evil beings; especially the leader among them, whose square face radiated righteousness. Judging by his appearance, he looked to be around fifty years old and was likely the leader of a Righteous Path sect from Eastern State or at least an elder.
As Weiyang and the others scrutinized the five Cultivators before them, those Cultivators were also examining Weiyang and his companions. Weiyang was too weak in cultivation and was quickly overlooked. The Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon needed no introduction; anyone could guess his identity from his nine claws. As for Bai Yulin and Black Shadow Flower, being magical beasts made their presence somewhat uncomfortable for these Cultivators. Coupled with Ye Huan's constant emanation of a bloody aura, the righteous-looking old Daoist furrowed his brow and spoke up: "Who are you? Why do you exude such a strong bloody aura?"
"This is a long story; rather, who are you?"
Without paying any heed to the old Daoist's question, at this critical moment, the Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon floated to the forefront of the group and echoed back the question verbatim. He wanted to use this old Daoist's words to probe where those thousands of people in mid-air had come from and why there were so many.
Fortunately, this old Daoist did not seem to be overly rigid. Upon hearing the Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon's inquiry, he ceased to press Weiyang and his companions further and instead revealed their origins. It turned out that just yesterday, near the coast of Eastern State, like Tidewatch Town, everything had plunged into endless darkness. To uncover the truth behind this matter, after a day of discussions among various sects near the coastal area of Eastern State, they sent numerous Cultivators led by Heavenly Dragon Sect to investigate. The result revealed that someone had broken through the barrier between Eastern State and Jiuzhou...
