Demon Sect.
It was the leading force within the Second Realm, even ranked higher than the Sword Tower.
With numerous branches, the presence of any lineage from the Demon Sect commanded respect from all cultivators present.
Unlike sects such as Sword Tower, Black Valley, Sky Water Swamp, and Dragon Cave, which were situated in different continents of the Second Realm, the Demon Sect’s influence and combat strength always firmly occupied the top spot.
Therefore.
Lan Xi, who had been silent and immersed in her own world, suddenly spoke up and immediately stabilized the situation.
The clamorous uproar came to an abrupt halt.
Qi Qingsong, who had been about to unsheathe his sword again, sat down somewhat reluctantly, giving face by saying, “As long as those two kids stop seeking death, I can’t be bothered to draw my sword.”
With that said, Qi Qingsong took out an ointment from his storage ring and began to apply it to his bleeding finger.
With him backing down, Dong Tianze, who was waiting in the wings, hesitated and chose to temporarily cease hostility as well.
Dong Tianze knew in his heart that it was only after proving his strength through a bloody and brutal fight that he earned his place within the mansion.
Three individuals needed no proof; with a slight reveal of their identities, everyone actively gave way to them.
These three were Lan Xi, Qi Qingsong, and Lin Beiye.
They hailed from the Demon Sect, Sword Tower, and Black Valley respectively, the strongest forces of the Second Realm.
The cultivators hailing from the Second and Third Realms and fighting around the City Lord Mansion recognized the emblems worn by the trio.
They would rather fight life-and-death battles with others than dare to come too close to or provoke these three.
“Those who should leave, may go now.”
Once there was absolute silence in the area, Lan Xi, whose real age couldn’t be discerned, hummed with satisfaction.
Her tall figure sat upright on the high platform, looking indifferently towards a corner of the pond.
Where her gaze settled, part of the water in the pond gradually turned into cold ice, emitting a wondrous glow.
It looked like an ice crystal, floating in the corner of the pond, as if it could connect to myriad worlds.
“Mirror Tunnel!”
Many people’s eyes widened as they stared at the ice crystal that appeared out of nowhere in the corner of the pond, unconsciously edging closer.
The strange treasure in the pond, with the three from the Demon Sect, Sword Tower, and Black Valley present, was something they dared not covet; they only wished to leave this deadly city as soon as possible.
A very few individuals remained immovably standing on the spot, their twinkling eyes filled with hesitation.
“Eh!”
Pang Jian let out a light exclamation as he found that the half of his body wounded by Sword Intent was slowly healing.
The wounds that were healing gave off a refreshing coolness that felt much like the sensation of drinking green fruit juice.
A look of astonishment flashed in his eyes.
Zhou Qingchen also felt a shock and said in a low voice, “That bottle of Green Fruit Juice!”
He, too, felt the dispersing Green Fruit Juice within his body actively healing his wounds, quickly improving his condition.
The two exchanged glances, attempting to find Li Jie in the crowd, but neither could spot him.
Unable to find his target, Zhou Qingchen stretched his hand out towards the sky behind the crowd, shaking it continuously.
He signaled Pang Jian to come quickly.
Pang Jian also saw the hand that emerged behind a group of people, so he cautiously approached without a sound.
The piercing gaze that made him feel as if thorns were on his back came from a high platform; he knew that this sharp gaze did not belong to Sword Tower’s Qi Qingsong, but to Dong Tianze, whose chest he had pierced with several holes.
He pretended not to notice.
“Heh.”
Dong Tianze, who was eyeing him hungrily from the high platform, only sneered with a twisted smile, restraining himself out of wariness from making an immediate move.
This place was not Wulan Lake in the Fourth Realm.
Most of the people still standing near the pond were Meridian Channeling realm cultivators like him; the few in the Meridians Channeling Realm were even more troublesome foes, each more difficult to deal with than the last.
He had briefly encountered some of them outside the mansion and was well aware that their combat strength was only a notch below his own.
If he was to act in haste to kill Pang Jian and something went amiss, he believed those individuals would be most happy to take their shot at him.
Furthemore, there were also the three from the Demon Sect, Sword Tower, and Black Valley occupying the high platform, deterring cultivators from all sides.
—This made even the hot-tempered Dong Tianze calm down.
“Are you insane? Zhou Qingchen has gone mad, why would you choose to die with him?”
Before Zhou Qingchen could speak up, Luo Hongyan started rebuking him first with a pretty face full of blame, “Pang Jian, do you realize what Sword Tower means?”
Pang Jian looked at her curiously.
“Blood Moon, Yin Spirit Temple, and Red Mountain—what kind of force can compare with Sword Tower? That man’s realm, weapon, even his Magic Spells, any one of them is stronger than you, how could you dare to ambush him?”
She berated Pang Jian angrily.
Zhou Qingchen opened his mouth, then she glared at him and said coldly, “If you want to die, go die by yourself, don’t drag others down with you!”
Zhou Qingchen let out an “uh” sound, wanting to argue a bit, but couldn’t find the right words.
It was indeed extremely perilous just now!
Both he and Pang Jian had clearly underestimated Qi Qingsong’s strength, having not expected that Qi Qingsong, also of the Marrow Cleaning Realm, would be so much stronger than Dong Tianze of Wulan Lake.
If it weren’t for Lan Xi of the Demon Sect speaking up, allowing Qi Qingsong to continue unsheathing his sword, both he and Pang Jian would have probably found it difficult to escape this disaster.
“Good brother!”
Zhou Qingchen, stricken with guilt, his eyes reddening, pounded heavily on Pang Jian’s chest, saying, “From now on, if I, Zhou Qingchen, have meat soup, I’ll let you eat the meat first, and I’ll just drink the soup!”
Under the terrifying pressure of the Sword Tower, even he himself hesitated. Pang Jian had dared to rise to the challenge!
That was the Sword Tower of the Second Realm!
The Red Mountain from the Third Realm couldn’t very compare to the towering existence of the Sword Tower, an entity that even he needed to look up to.
Luo Hongyan continued with a mocking sneer, “Quit with all that brotherly affection, if that woman from the Demon Sect hadn’t spoken up, you two would already be dead.”
Jiang Li was moved to tears, and she clung to Zhou Qingchen’s hand, refusing to let go, adamant that he not act recklessly anymore.
“Zhou, a broken arm can regenerate. There’s a secret method during the Blood Moon in the Third Realm. You know that, don’t you?”
Fearing that Zhou Qingchen would continue to be rash, Luo Hongyan looked at him with a gaze still filled with enmity, staring at Qi Qingsong atop the stone pillar, and spoke earnestly, “A broken arm can be regenerated, but once a person dies, they may not necessarily be brought back to life.”
Zhou Qingchen’s mind was shaken, and a flame of hope ignited in his eyes, “The Blood Moon has such a secret method? How could I not know about it?”
“You haven’t officially gone to Red Mountain to cultivate yet. It’s normal not to be clear about these things without your master telling you.”
Not wanting their passions to mess things up further, Luo Hongyan patiently explained, hoping Zhou Qingchen wouldn’t act impulsively again.
She knew Pang Jian wouldn’t listen to her, and she could see that the indifferent youth holding the spear harbored intense emotions, fiery like a magma pool.
Out of recognition for Zhou Qingchen, Pang Jian would still fearlessly join him in attacking Qi Qingsong when Zhou got heated up.
“A broken arm can regenerate…”
With heartache, Zhou Qingchen looked at Jiang Li’s arm, which had been severed, and he gradually calmed down.
Finally, everyone took a proper look at the situation before them.
Lan Xi, Qi Qingsong, Lin Beiye, and Dong Tianze, each commanding a high platform, all had their eyes fixed on the Strange Treasure in the water pool.
At that moment.
One after another, cultivators from various realms entered from outside the mansion and gathered by the water pool, with some attempting to leave through the Mirror Tunnel.
“Swoosh!”
“Swoosh! Swoosh!”
People continuously disappeared through the Ice Crystals.
Most knew it was futile and stopped wasting time in Bagua City, fearing to become yet another corpse.
The crowd around the pool dwindled.
Pang Jian turned his head and noticed the rich Darkness representing the filthy Supernatural Ability of the Fifth Realm, lingering at the entrance of the alleyway.
The Darkness didn’t surge into the courtyard.
He sighed in relief, and then quietly warned everyone to stay further away from the darkness behind them.
With people leaving continuously, the originally crowded courtyard space naturally opened up.
Pang Jian and the others no longer huddled near the main entrance but moved closer to the pool.
Only then did they realize that the brilliant column of light actually shot up from within the pool to the sky, projecting the treasures inside on the heavens, visible to all across the districts of Bagua City.
The column of light was still gradually shrinking.
“Zhou, should we go or stay?”
Han Duping took a deep breath, his eyes clearly showing hesitance, and licked his lips, “The materials I need for Bone Severing Marrow Washing can wait a few more years.”

With only the cultivation of the Meridians Channeling Realm, he saw, upon his arrival, the bodies that were also of this realm.
Not as brave as Pang Jian and lacking the impulsiveness and fervor of younger men, he just wanted to leave this troublesome place as soon as the Mirror Tunnel was open.
“Let’s go.”
Jiang Li came to her senses and softly persuaded Zhou Qingchen, “You know the people from the Demon Sect, Sword Tower, and the ones from Black Valley in the Upper Realm are not to be trifled with.”
Zhou Qingchen’s face was stern as he glanced at Qi Qingsong and then the treasures in the water pool, unable to make up his mind.
“Should we cooperate?”
Suddenly, a soft female voice came from beside them.
They all immediately looked over.
There stood a young girl in white clothes and a thin veil, standing beautifully and inquiring about a partnership.
When everyone had entered, they hadn’t noticed her due to the throng by the pool. They hadn’t expected her to suddenly reappear as they began to leave, suggesting a proposal for cooperation.
“Cooperate?”
Before anyone could respond, Luo Hongyan sneered and said bluntly, “Cooperate on what? Do you intend to seize the treasures in the pool? Heh, what audacity and strength do you have to even think of touching those items?”
The girl in white didn’t even look at her, replying coldly, “I didn’t ask you.”
Luo Hongyan’s face turned cold, her brows knitted, and with a dismissive gesture, she said, “Hurry and leave through the Mirror Tunnel, or it’ll be too late.”
“Do you want to cooperate or not?”
The girl in white spoke again, looking at Pang Jian and also glancing at Zhou Qingchen.
Zhou was curious, “What exactly do you want to cooperate on?”
“I don’t want the treasures in the pool. I just want to kill that man from Sword Tower. We can join forces to take him down.”
The white-clad girl lowered her voice amidst the chaos, her indifferent eyes suddenly revealing a murderous intent, “Don’t ask me why, but simply because he is from Sword Tower, I want him dead.”
Zhou Qingchen frowned, “What is your cultivation realm?”
“Late stage of Marrow Cleaning,” the girl said softly.
Pang Jian also lowered his voice, glanced at Dong Tianze, and said, “If we decide to stay, aside from the man from Sword Tower, we have another opponent.”
The girl in white nodded gently, “I saw that earlier. We can take care of it together.”
“Ahem, should I be included in this as well?”
As they whispered among themselves, Li Jie, who had been absent for a while, floated in from a corner with this casual remark.
“No!”
The girl rejected him coldly.
Li Jie sipped his Green Fruit Juice, chuckled, and said, “Just joking. I don’t have the leisure to join your game. Ah, for those who have received my juice, let me offer you a friendly warning.”
“Just one piece of advice.”
“Don’t cooperate with that girl! You’re better off leaving Bagua City as soon as possible to avoid getting mired deeper and risking your lives.”
After that, Li Jie took out a recliner, lying down more comfortably than anyone else.
He seemed utterly indifferent to the treasures in the pool and the open Mirror Tunnel.
It appeared that his only reason for staying was to watch the excitement unfold.
