Cloud Boat of the Four Seas Comrcial Firm has entered and left Tiger Mountain City multiple tis, and many cultivators in the city are very familiar with it. Moreover, with the influence of the Four Seas Comrcial Firm in Tiger Mountain City, there is no need for patrol teams to co and inspect.
Because the Jiuqu League envoy did not notify the Grand Crossing Cultivation Circle before their departure, the major cultivation forces here are unaware of the envoy's arrival, and they naturally won't send anyone to welco them.
According to the plan made before the envoy's departure, they are supposed to stay in Tiger Mountain City for a period of ti and use the Four Seas Comrcial Firm's connections to establish contact with the city's higher-ups, gradually communicating with the surrounding cultivation forces.
Seeking allies and persuading them to stand on the sa front is not an easy task; it requires careful consideration and must not be rushed to avoid negative consequences.
The Fourth Rank Cloud Boat is too large to land in the city. Instead, two Fourth Rank Cloud Boats flew to the eastern suburbs of Tiger Mountain City, one of the large flying boat take-off and landing areas frequently used for travel to and from the city.
The two Fourth Rank Cloud Boats slowly lowered their flight altitude and finally hovered at a height of about one hundred zhang above the ground.
Before the Cloud Boats had even co to a complete stop, small flying boats flew over from a distance.
A small portion of these flying boats belonged to the branches of the Four Seas Comrcial Firm stationed in this area, responsible for receiving their own goods and passengers year-round.
Most of the flying boats were used for transportation, even though they appeared small and many seed to be in poor condition, they were still fully capable of carrying passengers or cargo.
Tiger Mountain City covers a large area, and the controlled area outside the city is also extensive. Although this is the outskirts, there is still a considerable distance from the city. Even cultivators with flying abilities prefer to conserve their energy and spend so spirit stones to ride the flying boats.
After the two Cloud Boats stabilized, cultivators jumped off the decks one after another. So flew towards the passenger-carrying flying boats, so took out flying magic tools, and others flew directly towards Tiger Mountain City in the distance.
Xu ngying had been waiting on the deck for a while and now she, too, flew off the deck and headed towards one of the passenger-carrying flying boats.
Two Gold Core Daoist Masters closely followed her, keeping a distance of only two to three zhang.
Interestingly, one of the Gold Core Daoist Masters was Hong Siming, an elder from the East River Branch. He had t and fought against ng Zhang before, which created so grudges between them.
After the truce between Taiyi Sect and Yellow Lotus Sect, the two sides hadn't encountered each other again, but the past grievances remained unresolved.
ng Zhang and Extre Sword Spirit General flew out from another direction, pretending to have just noticed Hong Siming.
Extre Sword Spirit General exclaid in surprise, "Sect Master, isn't that a person from Yellow Lotus Sect?"
ng Zhang praised the acting skills in his mind and disdainfully glanced at Hong Siming.
Originally, the flight paths of the two groups of people didn't overlap, but ng Zhang intentionally flew straight over at full speed, as if he intended to collide forcefully.
Hong Siming and his companion stopped, and he angrily questioned, "ng Zhang, what are you trying to do?"
"Such audacity! How dare you call our Sect Master by na? A re insignificant third-rate cultivator, do you think you can address our Sect Master so casually?"
Extre Sword Spirit General shouted loudly, acting like a loyal and devoted dog. Hong Siming and his companion found it amusing; after all, both were Gold Core Daoist Masters, and none was inferior to the other. How could it be that they couldn't even be called by their nas?
"Taiyi Sect? Never heard of it before. Perhaps they are just so insignificant bottom-tier faction," said Hong Siming's companion sarcastically.
His companion was a cultivator from the Mountain Branch, which had the True Monarch Mountain Peak—a true Primordial Spirit-level force. He couldn't stand ng Zhang's arrogance in front of him.
Now, ng Zhang didn't need to find any more excuses for provocation.
"Dare you!" Extre Sword Spirit General angrily retorted, appearing ready to attack.
Though they were exchanging verbal jabs, Hong Siming had no intention of fighting ng Zhang and his companion. While there had been animosity between them in the past, they had maintained a peaceful coexistence since the truce between their factions. Moreover, Taiyi Sect was not a weak sect, as it had the protection of a Primordial Spirit True Monarch.
True Monarch Mountain Peak was busy consolidating the influence of the Yellow Lotus Sect and probably wouldn't want to start a conflict with Jin Li True Monarch's group at this ti.
However, Hong Siming couldn't control his companion's actions.
His companion from the Mountain Branch was arrogant and lacked respect for Hong Siming. Seeing the two Gold Core cultivators actively provoking them, he had no intention of backing down. He felt compelled to act.
With great anger, he lifted his right palm and struck fiercely at Extre Sword Spirit General with a powerful palm force.
The intimidating Extre Sword Spirit General suddenly lost his montum and, instead of continuing the attack, struggled to defend against the opponent's strike. He seed to be seriously injured.
This unexpected display of strength surprised both Hong Siming and his companion. They were Gold Core Daoist Masters; how could they be so ineffective?
"Darn you! You humiliated our sect earlier, and now you dare to launch a sneak attack on our elder. Are you really seeking to be our enemy?" ng Zhang said furiously and took action directly.
He didn't use any spells or Divine Abilities, nor did he unleash any magic tools. With a simple move of his hands, he sent out powerful True Essence, forcefully striking Hong Siming and his companion.
Hong Siming's Cultivation Base was only in the mid Gold Core stage, while his companion was even weaker, at the early Gold Core stage. Faced with ng Zhang, who was in the late Gold Core stage, their strengths were worlds apart.
ng Zhang didn't even need to exert much effort; he easily suppressed them.
The pursuit of Yellow Lotus Sect's saintess, Xu ngying, was a matter personally assigned by Yue Feng. Daoist Master Smiling Lotus and Daoist Master Mountain Garden, who were overseeing the task, didn't dare to be careless.
As a precaution against any unexpected tricks Xu ngying might use to escape, they made many preparations in advance. There were two groups of people—one overt and one covert—tracking Xu ngying to ensure no mistakes were made.
Hong Siming's group was the overt one, and now they were being suppressed by ng Zhang, unable to fight back. In the covert group, there was so hesitation. It didn't seem appropriate to just watch their companion being taken down in front of them. Facing their companion's bla and their sect's disapproval afterward wouldn't be pleasant.
After a mont of hesitation, the two Gold Core Daoist Masters from the covert group rushed over, intending to help Hong Siming and his companion.
Seeing enemy reinforcents arriving, ng Zhang was undeterred. He laughed heartily and confidently welcod the challenge. With a sweeping motion of his hand, he pulled the two Gold Core Daoist Masters from the covert group into the fray as well.
