Within the Southern Yard Inner Gate, there is a sea region where tens of thousands of islands converge.

This is the renowned Island of Stars within the Southern Yard Inner Gate.

The Island of Stars is also the island where Li Jiuge resides.

As the number of warriors fostered by Li Jiuge grows, the number of warriors living here also increases.

On one of the islands on the Island of Stars, a warrior came quickly to the palace on the island, cupping his fists and saying, "Senior Brother Zhu Jingyi, Lin Bai has left Dragon Raising Island."

Zhu Jingyi was overjoyed and asked, "Good, where has he gone?"

The warrior said, "He went to the Sky Desolation Secret Realm!"

Zhu Jingyi immediately frowned, pondering, "He went to the Sky Desolation Secret Realm? Nanxi City, one of the seven major cities within the Sky Desolation Secret Realm, was destroyed. The Southern Yard higher-ups are furious and ordered Life-and-Death Realm warriors to come to its aid!"

"Moreover, they have given out a large number of treasures and rewards. It seems he also heard this news and wants to cultivate in the Sky Desolation Secret Realm!"

"Heh, this is perfect. If he dies in the Sky Desolation Secret Realm, we can blame everything on the Demon Clan. When the time comes, even if Lan Yuxin and Fang Yiyun inquire, it has nothing to do with our Island of Stars!"

"Lin Bai, it seems you've already chosen your grave!"

"Good, I'll send you on your way!"

"Let's go, to the Sky Desolation Secret Realm!"

Immediately, Zhu Jingyi led a group of people, leaving the Island of Stars and heading straight for the Mystic Island.

...

At noon, in the teleportation palace of the Sky Desolation Secret Realm, there were already close to over two thousand warriors.

And Lin Bai had been waiting there for two hours.

During these two hours, Lin Bai was communicating with Zhang Lingkong and learned that Zhang Lingkong had not entered the Sky Desolation Secret Realm for the first time, and Lin Bai also learned many things about the Sky Desolation Secret Realm from Zhang Lingkong.

Lin Bai said, "I wonder how much longer until the teleportation starts?"

Zhang Lingkong looked up at the sky and said, "Soon, when I went to the Sky Desolation Secret Realm before, the teleportation always happened at noon!"

Lin Bai nodded slowly.

At this moment, the warrior in charge of the teleportation palace came out and said, "Please, friends, get ready; the teleportation is about to begin. I believe you have all heard about what happened in the Sky Desolation Secret Realm."

"Nanxi City was destroyed, tens of thousands of warriors perished, corpses everywhere, how tragic!"

"Today, as you enter the Sky Desolation Secret Realm, I urge you to take care of yourselves. If you are able, you must reclaim Nanxi City!"

The warrior guarding the teleportation palace said with a face full of grief and indignation, as if he would enter the Sky Desolation Secret Realm to fight the Demon Clan himself if he were not guarding it.

"Teleportation, start!"

At this moment, the warrior said.

"Wait! We are still here!" At this moment, a group of warriors came rushing in from outside the palace, and at the forefront was surprisingly Zhu Jingyi.

The warrior guarding the teleportation palace was delighted, cupping his fists and saying, "It's Senior Brother Zhu Jingyi!"

"Has Senior Brother Li also learned of the tragedy in Nanxi City and sent Senior Brother Zhu Jingyi with the Island of Stars' strong ones to aid it?"

Zhu Jingyi said earnestly, "Yes, Nanxi City was destroyed, and Senior Brother Li was deeply saddened upon hearing it. He ordered me and our brothers to head to the Sky Desolation Secret Realm and retake Nanxi City!"

The warrior said, "Senior Brother Li is so righteous!"

"Truly worthy of being the Quasi Holy Son, Senior Brother Li!"

"Senior Brother Li's heart is with the Sky Desolation Secret Realm, a true model for our generation!"

"Indeed."

Hearing Zhu Jingyi's words, the warriors inside the teleportation palace were all moved and gave a salute to Zhu Jingyi with cupped fists.

Zhu Jingyi returned the salute, but his gaze searched through the crowd, as if looking for someone.

Zhang Lingkong, next to Lin Bai, said, "This man is Zhu Jingyi, currently a favored figure beside Li Jiuge. Don't be fooled by his low cultivation; with Li Jiuge backing him, even an ordinary warrior of the Great Perfection of the Life-and-Death Realm wouldn't dare provoke him lightly!"

Lin Bai squinted his eyes, taking a deep look at Zhu Jingyi.

Lin Bai had a feeling that Zhu Jingyi seemed to be targeting him!

What nonsense about following Li Jiuge's orders to aid Nanxi City, that's all rubbish. If Li Jiuge really wanted to meddle in the Sky Desolation Secret Realm, would he send Zhu Jingyi? Wouldn't it be better to send a warrior of the Great Perfection of the Life-and-Death Realm?

Zhu Jingyi mingled into the crowd, waiting for the teleportation to start.

At this time, Zhu Jingyi had already found Lin Bai.

"Caution, friends, this next teleportation is to Tide City, one of the seven major cities within the Sky Desolation Secret Realm!"

"The Secret Realm is perilous, and the Demon Clan is rampant, please proceed with caution!"

The warrior guarding the teleportation array cupped his fists and said, then activated the magic circle.

A flash of light, and the two thousand-plus warriors within the teleportation array vanished without a trace.

They reappeared in the Sky Desolation Secret Realm!

Whew—whew—

Blades of cold wind swept across Lin Bai's body!

Lin Bai opened his eyes to look around, and this was a dilapidated earthen ancient city.

The walls, the earth, were covered with beast marks, sword marks, and knife marks, a scene of devastation. In some places, even the blood on the ground hadn't yet dried, as if it had just experienced a fierce battle!

Zhang Lingkong said, "This is Tide City! One of the seven major cities of the Southern Yard warriors within the Sky Desolation Secret Realm."

"This place is not far from Nanxi City!"

Zhang Lingkong said with some concern.

When the two thousand-plus warriors appeared on the Transmission Array Square, immediately hundreds of warriors rushed over and descended from mid-air, all wearing uniform armor!

Lin Bai and Zhang Lingkong both looked up at this group of warriors.

Among this group of armored warriors, a handsome middle-aged man with stubble on his chin said in a loud voice, "First of all, welcome all of you to Tide City in the Sky Desolation Secret Realm. I am Yang Ying, the Alliance Leader of the Tide City Warrior Alliance!"

Upon hearing Yang Ying's words, all the warriors were taken aback.

"Tide City Warrior Alliance's Alliance Leader?"

"Since when did Tide City have a Warrior Alliance?"

Many warriors who were not coming to the Sky Desolation Secret Realm for the first time all said in surprise.

Yang Ying said, "Please do not be puzzled. After Nanxi City was destroyed, the higher-ups of the Southern Yard were furious and ordered the other six major cities to form a Warrior Alliance to reclaim Nanxi City. I am the one in charge of Tide City!"

Hearing Yang Ying's explanation, the warriors at the scene finally understood.

"So it's Senior Brother Yang Ying." At this time, Zhu Jingyi came to Yang Ying, cupped his fists, and smiled as he spoke.

Yang Ying was taken aback and asked in surprise, "Junior Brother Zhu Jingyi, how come you're here? Could it be that Senior Brother Li..."

Zhu Jingyi chuckled lightly, "After Senior Brother Li heard about the incident in Nanxi City, he was very concerned, so he asked me to come and see what was going on. See if there's anything we can help with!"
