"The Nine Heavens are indeed powerful, but their hearts are not united, and their thoughts differ. If Qingyu Zhen belongs to the Nine Heavens, once his identity is exposed, the Nine Heavens will not go all out against Daqian for him," Ning Wuming said.

The Nine Heavens are not like the Ten Earth, which is a unified organization; rather, they are an alliance of various forces. Usually, they can certainly assist with matters within their capacity. But if it requires risking their lives, that becomes rather unlikely.

Here in Daqian, everyone is united, never hesitating when it's time for a hard battle, whereas in the Nine Heavens, to engage in a hard battle, they would first have to hold a meeting.

Of course, if Qing Yu truly belongs to the Nine Heavens, Ning Wuming is likely in for some serious trouble.

This fact is clear to Leng Kuangtu and Qin Xihai, which is why she is very reluctant for her beloved to undertake such a perilous task.

"Brother Ning······"

"Xihai, you and Mei Jun will go to Ling Province to investigate the Taiping Association, that's settled," Ning Wuming ordered straightforwardly, not waiting for Qin Xihai's protest.

"This······is." Qin Xihai hesitated for a long while, but ultimately could only relent under Ning Wuming's gaze and helplessly accept the command.

"Don't worry, I'll come back." Seeing his beloved's sorrowful expression, Ning Wuming held her hands and said gently.

Though his words were tender, they were as firm as a rock, making them surprisingly convincing. At least, Qin Xihai believed Ning Wuming at that moment.

"Alright."

························

At the border of the Western Regions, intense fighting is underway.

Heavenly Gate Pass, this fortress that once served as Daqian's defense line, naturally fell into Hou Qian's hands after he occupied Shu Province, and continues to serve its former function—defending against the Western Regions.

Since the Divine Martial Army left, although the combat power of the stationed troops has noticeably decreased, what they have over the Divine Martial Army is that Heavenly Gate Pass now has a constant stream of reinforcements.

With support from the rear, even as the Peacock Remnants launched relentless assaults, they still haven't stepped foot into Heavenly Gate Pass.

And for some unknown reason, the Peacock Remnants charge forward without regard for casualties, determined to breach Heavenly Gate Pass.

For several days, the battle has been ongoing nonstop; before Heavenly Gate Pass lies a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, even the city walls are stained a ghastly dark red.

The blood-colored Evil Qi rises, the screams and cries are incessant. Above this Asura battlefield, auspicious day sits cross-legged on a floating cloud, continuously absorbing and refining the Evil Qi rising from below.

On her forehead, there is a black slit resembling a closed eye, from which pitch-black Qi slowly disperses. The slit pulses as if the eyeball inside is throbbing, and the pitch-black Qi spreads across auspicious day's fair face, washing away her original aura of benevolence.

Suddenly, Gun Light pierces the void, the concentrated murderous intent gathering at the tip of the spear, aiming straight at auspicious day's forehead.

The black slit gently moves, immediately absorbing the pitch-black ominous Qi into the slit. auspicious day's eyes snapped open, cold gleams sparking.

"auspicious day Heavenly Light Holy Palm."

Gentle yet resilient Holy Light fills both palms, confronting Gun Light. In an instant, only the cloud is seen shattering, a powerful impact wave ripples in all directions.

Though the palm force is gentle, it broke Gun Light point by point, halting its unstoppable momentum. auspicious day palms together and apart, auspicious Heavenly Light radiates intensely, striking the spear-wielding warrior.

As the leader of the Four Heavenly Women, auspicious day's status is actually not inferior to Indra. The reason for this is simple, her formidable strength.

Facing auspicious Heavenly Light, the warrior snorts lightly, a Star Light flashes from outside the heavens, instantly falling upon the top of his head.

Po Jun Star Light.

This person is indeed Po Jun Star Lord, Gao Boyang.

Gao Boyang draws Po Jun Star Power, infusing it into the spear in his hand, facing Infinite Heavenly Light, boldly unleashing his spear.

"Po Jun."

The solidified Star Power condenses into this spear, the grand Po Jun momentum compressed into a point, aiming to shatter Heavenly Light's might.

"Boom—"

The impact wave erupts, yet auspicious Heavenly Light forcefully pressing Gao Boyang backward. The spear concentrated with Po Jun's strength failed to break auspicious Heavenly Light.

However, just as auspicious day and Gao Boyang were locked in battle, mist rose below, azure poison quickly enveloped the sky, encasing auspicious day within.

"Hiss hiss hiss······"

auspicious Heavenly Light continually crackled, swiftly corroded by the potent poison, in the blink of an eye it was reduced to a thin layer.

Encased in auspicious Heavenly Light, auspicious day was only a thin layer away from contacting the poison mist.

"Nalanda Temple's Heavenly Maiden, wonder how many breaths you can last under my 'Slay All Life'," the Ten Thousand Poison Sect Leader, Lin Lingshan, quietly appeared outside the azure poison mist, chuckling softly.

auspicious day's formidable strength was astonishing, if one wished to keep her, relying on Gao Boyang alone was impossible. Therefore, to kill her at a manageable cost, a scheme, albeit despicable, was needed.

Coincidentally, Lin Lingshan, Sect Leader of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect, didn't mind using deceit as the head of a sect, after all, dealing with poison usually requires some thick skin.

Furthermore, the extremely toxic 'Slay All Life' in Lin Lingshan's hands could deliver a fatal blow, so he remained hidden, waiting for the opportune moment for a deadly strike.

"I guess······" Gao Boyang flew to Lin Lingshan's side, just about to speak.

"Boom—"

Like a volcanic eruption, a violent aura surged from the center of the azure poison mist, pitch-black Qi rapidly spreading, overshadowing the azure poison mist.

"Kill!"

A hoarse shout suddenly rose, a figure filled with destructive aura unleashed double palms, a volcanic wave of fury sweeping forth.

Gao Boyang and Lin Lingshan simultaneously struck, Gun Light in Po Jun's name, poison devouring all, confronting the violent palm force.

"Boom—"

The explosion resumed, Gao Boyang felt a sudden tightening on his spear, an irresistible force gripping the spear tip, flinging it strongly. Under the massive force, Gao Boyang's figure plummeted below, crashing into the corpse mountain and Blood Sea.

Instantly, blood sprayed high, corpses flew, the wind unleashed by the crash tore the piled bodies into countless powdery fragments.

"Bang—"

Without hesitation, Lin Lingshan struck out with a palm, colliding with a ghostly blue hand, Ten Thousand Poison True Qi erupted, bone-corroding poison quickly seeped into that hand.

But before the poison could act, black flames ignited on the ghostly blue hand, sweeping away the Ten Thousand Poison True Qi, then wrapping from the hand up Lin Lingshan's arm, encasing it entirely.

"Ah—"

Pain, intense, unbearable pain, Lin Lingshan withdrew his hand, Gang Qi erupted, blasting the black flames, using the reaction force to swiftly retreat, distancing himself from that terrifying figure.

As he retreated, Lin Lingshan looked at his right palm, only to find it gone, only the part above the wrist remaining, the palm having turned to ash in merely a moment from earlier. That Fire Power seemed capable of burning the soul, causing Lin Lingshan, who had cultivated the Poison Immortal Body, to let out a wretched scream of agony.

"What kind of monster are you?" Lin Lingshan looked at that horrifying non-human figure, demanding.
