Soon, the Scholar in the tavern heard the second shocking news:

The existence from the Shan Sect was suddenly struck and killed by hundreds of arrows.

That was someone whose true appearance and identity they didn't know, and only when she was exposed and killed did they realize she was a woman.

Everyone silently noted her identity and features.

To make it easier to play "hide and seek" once she resurrects.

Not long after.

The third piece of news arrived:

The ancient Saint from the Void Sect was similarly struck and killed by three hundred arrows, leaving thirty avatars behind!

Everyone was dumbstruck.

"Everyone, the city walls are no longer safe; let's distance ourselves from that area or just retreat straight away!"

A young Scholar insightfully stepped forward and said:

"Even the awakened Ghost King, Jiao Wuyu, couldn't do much to the city walls. She could only consume the walls for cultivation, treating them as Pill Medicine, unable to quickly boost combat power during battles."

"The city walls can still withstand the Ghost King!"

"However, the current monster finds the city walls to be an aid instead!"

The numerous taverns of Xinyi Continent fell into silence, with everyone exchanging glances.

Everyone's hearts trembled, perhaps after today, a new precedent in history would be set:

The city walls were no longer invincible.

The very walls meant to protect became a means for the enemy to grow stronger.

Such a peerless warrior defies all understanding!

Some were utterly unsettled, trembling as they spoke: "Are they going to tear down all the walls and expose us to the wilderness?"

They hid behind the massive ring-shaped city walls, intending to watch the distant battle, ensuring their safety.

But now, even the walls are unsafe; a wall nemesis has appeared, devouring them like a snake, madly gnawing away.

In the end, absorbing all the city walls, a colossal being is likely to be born.

Perhaps we truly need to run farther away.

Everyone's minds were filled with fear and shock, leaving only one thought:

"Where did this person come from?"

...

In just ten minutes, more than a dozen ancestors were destroyed consecutively, and a large breach was opened in the city walls.

This news, like a bomb, instantly swept through the entire State City.

Even many timid individuals were ready to flee, leaving the city walls to escape to the wilderness, intending to return once the chaos subsides.

In the distance.

Jian Xin also noticed this scene, frowning silently: "We must stop him, this is too much of a battlefield advantage for him."

Fang Xi also looked grave:

"We can't let him snowball any further, otherwise only the Xinyi King fighting inside the inner ring and those few key figures can suppress him."

Finally, some wise individuals reacted quickly, organizing Saints and powerhouses from various places to recover their strength.

This existence, they could also see.

His Mana and level were at the One Heart Realm, but his combat ability was very single-minded.

Is it perhaps a specialized existence?

The strengths and weaknesses were very clear!

In this world, powerhouses are inherently hard to kill.

A One Heart Realm killing a Two-Phase Realm usually requires thousands of moves.

But this monotonous One Heart Realm, if he only knows archery and charges blindly, he should be the type they could easily constrain and toy with.

Unfortunately.

The bandits across the way desperately blocked them:

"Stop them, don't ruin the grand plan!"

"Our friends from the No-Life Sect actually have such methods!"

"Even the No-Life Sect Leader didn't act but just sent a few Elders; at first, we complained but didn't expect such a big surprise!"

"Quick, stop them, lest they spoil the grand plan of that Sect Leader-level existence!"

"Hahaha, nothing like No-Life!"

Frenzied voices echoed, blocking the path of Jian Xin and others.

They wanted to buy time for this existence.

Although they didn't know what this existence intended to do, it was undoubtedly something earth-shattering that couldn't be interrupted.

...

"They fight their battle while I handle my own affairs."

Ning Zheng looked at the Storage Ring.

He had encountered a fool and picked up an oversized Storage Ring from them, capable of holding most of the goods.

It's estimated to be a precious item worth quite a bit even in Xinyi State City.

The money in these shops wouldn't all be kept there, but in a single sweep, he collected a whole mess of items, over eight hundred thousand Spirit Stones, and more than three hundred thousand Magic Coins.

The money was secondary.

Their money wouldn't be much in the shops, but these goods were the most valuable!

The passerby cultivators were quite generous, allowing Ning Zheng to earn a hefty sum.

Just these gains alone made the trip worthwhile!

However, after Ning Zheng's sneak attack, those within the city walls also caught on.

The nearby One Heart Realm cultivators mostly ran away and hid.

Secretly recovering their Mana, Ning Zheng couldn't do anything about them for now and couldn't find anyone.

"Once they recover their Mana, any One Heart Realm cultivator around could easily match me."

Ning Zheng pondered:

"My Mana has already surpassed most of the same Realm, but I lack Divine Techniques, skills, and combat experience..."

Ning Zheng was never overconfident.

His only skill was archery.

Without other moves, it was too easy to be seen through and targeted.

And among these ancient Saints, who didn't earn their reputation from mountains of corpses and seas of blood?

Letting them reach their peak form, he would be lucky to withstand one, let alone two.

"Their reaction was too quick."

Ning Zheng felt a bit regretful.

"However, I don't necessarily need to cut them down, just continue to send out a large army to cut down those weaker ones."

"When my mana becomes stronger, they won't dare to easily provoke me."

"Besides, the section of the city wall where I'm stationed has already been dismantled by me. If I don't provoke their side of the wall, these Earth-bound Spirits won't be able to provoke me."

"At most, they can only send a few Earth-bound Spirits from nearby walls to besiege; they can't reach from farther away, making it impossible to besiege me."

"I can both fight and retreat."

"It's time to attend to serious matters."

Ning Zheng's gaze sharpened.

He never forgot his promise to this entity, to rescue his disciples.

Ning Zheng did not care what this Sect Leader had done in prehistoric times.

Whether it was being imprisoned due to differing camp ideologies, or something else.

After all, rescuing this prisoner meant they would be his person in the future; it didn't matter what they had done before dying.

Ning Zheng allowed those flood soldiers to keep growing, shooting arrows, developing, as the blacksmiths continued rifling through the boxes.

"Where is Xu Huan?"

Ning Zheng, tired of wasting words, directly shouted, "I'm here to rescue you."

The voice echoed around, reverberating continuously.

There was no response.

Ning Zheng frowned:

So cautious?

Indeed, he did look somewhat frightening at the moment, terrifying.

Ordinary people wouldn't be foolish enough to show themselves.

Xu Huan should now be an Earth-bound Spirit.

Previously appearing in the Scaly Gate area, it means he can only hide nearby.

"First go slaughter the Fang Family."

"One look and they aren't good people, the Demon Cultivator's connection, also came to extort wine money from me."

"Since they can rob me, why can't I rob them?"

He didn't originally intend to tout any justice.

— I'm just here to rob money!

Now I'm dead poor; they came to extort me before; now there's a chance to not rob them back, what a joke!?

The flood surged.

Let the blacksmiths fish around amidst it, even stripping the ground, all peeled bare by their family!

"Besides, the Fang Family managing this Scaly Gate area is exactly why they know where those disciples of the Primordial Sacred Land went."

"I feel these prisoners are most likely related to them."

Thinking of this, Ning Zheng soared up to scout the Fang Family's station.

All the forces secretly watching Ning Zheng, the scholars in taverns and teahouses around also became surprised.

"That direction, is he going to the Fang Family?"

"Staying here to continue to cut down the city walls was the best solution, even entering the Central Ring to assist those Sect Leader-level attacks on King Xinyi, failing that, helping on the Two-Phase Realm battlefield, sieging Jian Xin."

"Yes, what is he going to the Fang Family for? By logic and sentiment, it's not something that should be done at this urgent time."

Even those rebels began to feel a bit confused.

They were blocking Jian Xin to allow this entity to grow his strength.

But now that he has grown, he's not helping them but going to the Fang Family?

Some doubts gradually arose:

Could it be, he really isn't a rebel, not our hidden ally here?

...

Fang Family's premises.

This is the Central Ring area within the Scaly Gate.

Located in a residential area, occupying a large area.

The Fang Family has a long history, owning over three thousand resource-rich Immortal Mountains, with countless townspeople at the foot of the mountains, as well as Spirit Farmers for the era, responsible for cultivating Spirit Fields.

As one of the secondary line families in the Xinyi Continent City, although the current cultivators do not have any masters in the One Heart Realm, they do possess several masters in the Two-Phase Realm.

Furthermore, there is an ancient ancestor in the corridor.

As for a living One Heart Realm ancestor?

A single One Heart Realm can live for probably over ten thousand years, if one emerges, the family would be securely recognized as a first-line State City family.

But again, how is this easy to achieve?

They have one fallen One Heart Realm ancestor; it is already a family glory, securing a position in the second line.

Clatter.

Ning Zheng flew straight to the Fang Family's Ancestral Temple.

As he just landed, an ancestor of the Fang Family stepped out.

"I am Fang Yun, may I ask what business brings you here?" The elder, dressed in traditional blue robe, stepped forward.

Since it is a residential area, there is no breath concealment, Ning Zheng easily recognized him as a Ghost Ancestor.

"Not even a living being dares to come out to receive, eh?"

Ning Zheng flicked a finger, causing the Fang Family ancestor to scream in pain, as a soul virus rapidly fragmented his soul.

He was tired of wasting words and came up with a punch first to get them to hand over people; then he'd go, fulfilling the Primordial Sect Leader's wish.

Ning Zheng increased the sensitivity to toxins.

The severe pain ripping through the soul was one of the greatest tortures.

"You..." Fang Yun was in excruciating pain, never before had he been so furious.

Nor had he been bullied like this before!

In the usual Xinyi State City, who would dare attack their family?

If it were wartime, the rebels daring to attack the State City would be busy with actual major affairs.

And likewise, they wouldn't attack their family.

But now..

This One Heart Realm existence, is he sick!!

He's not attending to big matters, not helping the battlefield at all, coming to our family for what?

Although their family is not top tier, currently without a living One Heart Realm as their pillar.

But their ancestors were recorded as Saints in history, thousands of years ago there was also a living One Heart Realm figure.

An old family standing since the founding of Xinyi State City!

"I am Fang Yun." The elder endured the severe pain, clasped his hands in greeting, "May I ask why you have come to our Fang Family?"
