Independent of Chaos City and Mid City, Zuo Dao floated in white robes.
Dongfang Qianmu gazed complexly at the cultivator who had left an indelible impression on him, remaining silent for a long time.
Three years had passed since the day of the Transcend Tribulation. Aside from a few individuals who knew the truth behind the Transcend Tribulation, most believed it to be the emergence of a rare treasure. Some cultivators doubted the authenticity of that event, but the might of the Four Great Star Seas exceeded most people's expectations.
The greatest beneficiary of the Transcend Tribulation incident three years ago was undoubtedly Zuo Dao, while the Four Great Star Sea Dragon Kings played an extremely disgraceful role in it.
Due to their actions of sealing the seas, cultivators within the Great Celestial Domain believed that the "rare treasures" that appeared during that event had already been claimed by them. Especially among the cultivators from the Five Continents, there was a sense of righteous indignation, clamoring for the Four Great Star Seas to give them an explanation.
Although Zuo Dao did not understand why the Four Great Star Seas acted this way, he indeed owed them a favor.
However, it seemed that the Four Great Star Seas were quite content to bear this blame and did not approach Zuo Dao afterward. In response to all the external turmoil, the strategy of the Four Dragon Kings was singular.
Fight.
What I want to do on my territory is my business. You disagree? Fine, we’ll fight until you comply.
Want to explain? Sure, if you can defeat us first.
Want us to reveal the truth? Alright, defeat us first.
Three years. For cultivators, it was merely a fleeting moment, yet many events had transpired during this time. The conflict between the Five Continents and the Four Great Star Seas was thoroughly ignited due to the Transcendence Location.
For a time, Chaos City became the focal point of attention within the Great Celestial Domain.
During this period, the Five Great Lords were tormented beyond measure. If they hadn’t benefited from Zuo Dao initially, with each person's strength having increased to some extent, they might not have been able to cope at all.
"Young Master, as per your instructions, we have already set up your crafted flags at all major city gates."
Eastern Fang Qian had been stationed at the Lord's mansion, and only after the arrival of the messenger did he realize what was happening. The conversation was about Cold Fan Mountain.
Due to Zuo Dao's influence, the relationships among the Five Great Lords had become exceedingly harmonious. Cold Fan Mountain had received a message from Zuo Dao and rushed over after completing the tasks assigned by him.
Since the Transcend Tribulation, Zuo Dao had vanished without a trace. When he reappeared, everyone sensed a change in him.
If the previous Zuo Dao had felt like a refreshing breeze, the current Zuo Dao exuded an aura of dominance that was not oppressive. The five of them noticed this transformation; it was evident to anyone that Zuo Dao's cultivation had deepened significantly.
"Very well, thank you for your trouble, Lord Cold," Zuo Dao said in a calm voice, yet it warmed the hearts of those who heard it.
"You are too kind, Young Master!" Cold Fan Mountain looked up at the exalted Zuo Dao and felt a surge of excitement.
At this moment, Chaos City was completely under the control of the Five Great Lords, with all unrelated forces expelled. There was not a single outsider left in the city besides those affiliated with the Five Great Lords.
The Five Continents and Four Great Star Seas neither opposed nor supported this; both sides tacitly withdrew from Chaos City, including Peak of the God of Combat.
Zuo Dao learned about all this only after his return. However, upon reflection, he understood the reasoning behind it.
In the confrontation between the Five Continents and Four Seas, it was clear that the Four Great Star Seas held the upper hand. Their performance in Transcendence Location leaned towards supporting Zuo Dao. As for the Five Continents, their intentions were obvious—they wanted to secure a retreat for themselves. With Chaos City in their possession, they had a buffer zone.
Yet none of this concerned Zuo Dao; his sole focus now was to step out of the Great Celestial Domain.
From the moment he arrived in this world, everything unfolded like a chess game, with intricate connections between all events.
Now, the Great Celestial Domain had become a crucial point in this game.
Zuo Dao surged through this chessboard like a great dragon, striving to carve out a future for himself. The Great Celestial Domain had become a trap within his opponent's strategy, confining him within its bounds. If he could not break free from this predicament, he would be completely surrounded and eliminated by them.
He remained suspended in mid-air, gazing into the distance while Eastern Fang Qian and Cold Fan Mountain stood below, powerless. At that moment, their minds were devoid of any other thoughts. The earlier scene had left an indelible impact on their souls.
Zuo Dao had become synonymous with invincibility in their hearts. Even if Zuo Dao did not take action himself, his subordinates could sweep through them effortlessly.
After a long while, the sound of something slicing through the air approached. They didn't need to look to know who it was. Nowadays, in Central City Mansion, due to Zuo Dao's presence, the only ones allowed inside, aside from Zuo Dao's people, were the Five Great Lords.
However, one of the Five Great Lords had changed; Xi Yingjun had been completely ousted. He was originally from Four Star Sea, but after betraying them, he had nowhere else to go and could only turn to Five Continents. The current East City Lord was someone even Zuo Dao had not anticipated.
Aochudai, clearly one of the Four Great Star Seas, puzzled Zuo Dao. He couldn't understand how Aochudai had managed to ascend to the position of East City Lord, especially since even Five Continents seemed to have accepted him.
"Greetings, Young Master." Aochudai, along with Mu Beihan and Lu Yang, arrived together. They too had received a message from Zuo Dao to accomplish a task. Now that they had completed it, they came to Central City Mansion to meet up with Zuo Dao and the others.
"Mm." Zuo Dao nodded slightly in response.
The atmosphere fell into silence. After a long time, Zuo Dao sensed a heavy tension in the air.
"Alright, you don't need to be so formal. Just do what you need to do. If there's nothing else, stay here and wait for a few people with me." With that, Zuo Dao leaped down into the mansion.
The five city lords exchanged glances before following behind Zuo Dao. After all, this was the territory of Eastern Fang Qian. Although Zuo Dao sat at the head of the table, as the host, Eastern Fang Qian still needed to make introductions.
After a few cups of tea, the six of them sat together.
"Aochudai, how did you become the East City Lord?" To ease the atmosphere, Zuo Dao asked.
In truth, even Aochudai himself did not know why he suddenly became the East City Lord. If it weren't for his father having a talk with him once, he would still be cultivating in the Mo Sea.
"Honestly, I don't know either; it was my father who sent me here." Looking at this cultivator who was even more powerful than himself, if it weren't for his father showing him footage from that time, he would never have connected this person with the cultivator from the Transcendence Location.
Aochudai could be considered one of the outstanding young talents among the Four Great Star Seas. However, when he thought about how those dozens of cultivators had forced people like Gu Qianchou into exile back then, his confidence took a hit. Moreover, through the footage, he could see that those people were all associated with this cultivator before him.
"Your father?" Zuo Dao was surprised to learn this detail.
"Yes, Ao Yu sent me here," Aochudai replied. It was their first encounter, but it was clear that the other person was quite talkative, which made Aochudai feel more at ease.
Mo Sea Dragon King.
That was Zuo Dao's first thought. He hadn't expected Aochudai to be a descendant of the Dragon King. When he first heard Aochudai's name, he assumed he was just someone from the Four Seas Dragon Kings, not realizing he was the son of the Eastern Sea Star Dragon King.
However, after the Transcend Tribulation, Zuo Dao owed a favor to the Four-Star Sea Dragon King, so he wouldn't think too much about it now.
"This is our first meeting, and I don't have much to offer, but please accept this." Zuo Dao casually tossed a few jade vials and a jade box to Aochudai.
Aochudai quickly caught them, feeling a bit awkward. This was clearly an interaction meant for elders giving gifts to juniors; how could it happen to him?
But when he looked closely at the items in his hands, he couldn't help but gasp in surprise, feeling overjoyed.
The other Four City Lords stared at what he held with envy and jealousy, making him shiver slightly as he hurriedly put them away.
"Thank you, young master. These are exactly what I need; I won't be polite about it." Accepting gifts felt natural, especially since his father had instructed him to get along well with Zuo Dao before coming here.
"No need for thanks; I haven't even thanked your father for the previous matter," Zuo Dao waved his hand dismissively, indicating that Aochudai shouldn't feel obliged. However, seeing the expressions of the other Four City Lords made him smile.
"This is for all of you. You are all Immortal Emperors yet still act like children," Zuo Dao said in a tone reminiscent of an adult speaking to kids.
Eastern Fang Qian and the others didn't mind at all. Zuo Dao's generosity was extraordinary, and given that his strength surpassed theirs in this world where power reigned supreme, no one felt there was anything wrong with it.
"Thank you very much, young master." The Four City Lords' eyes lit up when they realized they were included as well. If it weren't for Aochudai knowing them, they would have felt embarrassed by what was happening before them.
Immortal Emperors! Could you not have some dignity?
"Alright, there’s no need for such formality between us. You help me with my tasks; I can't let you do it for free." Zuo Dao spoke with an air of authority, his words perfectly measured.
During this visit, aside from making some preliminary arrangements, there was also the matter of the Four-Star Sea Dragon King’s invitation. However, even the five city lords were unaware of this.
The six of them were engaged in lively conversation, mostly with Zuo Dao asking questions and the five city lords responding. Most of Zuo Dao's inquiries revolved around the current situation in the Celestial Realm.
"Ah, my apologies for keeping Young Master Zuo waiting."
As they conversed, a hearty laugh echoed from outside the mansion. With the laughter came four figures appearing at the Mansion Gate.
"Father!" Upon hearing that voice, Aochudai immediately recognized who it was. He hadn’t expected that the people Zuo Dao had been waiting for were none other than his father and three uncles.
"Dragon King, this is only proper," Zuo Dao said as he stood to greet them. The five city lords hurriedly rose to their feet and made way.
"Alright, you all can leave now. Young Master Zuo only needs to entertain us old friends," Ao Yu said, cupping his fists in salute to Zuo Dao before addressing the city lords.
Although Aochudai had questions swirling in his mind, he still retreated with the others. Eastern Fang Qian and the others were even more shocked.
They hadn’t anticipated that the Four Seas Star Dragon King would arrive, and not just him but four of them at once. It had been years since such an occurrence!
