As soon as Chen Tong finished speaking, Li Hao, who had been lounging, couldn't help but laugh:
"Hearing you say that, my mood instantly improved."
Their trip to the Lower Realm was considered a business trip, and although they were unfortunately forced to stay behind when most of the personnel left, they still retained the benefits they were entitled to.
For instance, the single Medicinal Pill that allowed their Lifespan in the Lower Realm to flow at the same rate as in the Upper Realm made the spies from other forces who came to the Lower Realm incredibly envious.
After all, those who came in now were all disgruntled and marginalized individuals. Although their Lifespan was also extended by coming to the Lower Realm, when they returned to the Upper Realm, the Lifespan consumed in the Lower Realm would still catch up to them.
If they didn't get a Medicinal Pill like the "Du'e Pill" which could remove negative effects, it wouldn't be strange for them to turn into a pile of withered bones the moment they returned to the Upper Realm.
"Speaking of which, it's quite good that they came. Now all our work is being done by them. To better complete the observation mission, they will never allow anyone to break the current stalemate. They wish this situation would last forever."
"Just think, these days of being sidelined are pretty enjoyable!"
Li Hao lay lazily on the chair, thinking of those miserable fellows, and his mood became even more cheerful.
"Hmm!"
Chen Tong nodded, turned his head, closed his eyes, and was about to continue fishing.
He and Li Hao were both at the Peak of the Third-Tier cultivation, which translates to the Thirteen-Order Peak in the Lower Realm. Now, with no further advancement possible here, they spent their days fishing to pass the time.
However, just as Chen Tong closed his eyes, his brows suddenly furrowed.
At that moment, a stream of light tore through the barrier of Heavenly Dao Yuan Qi that isolated the Void Realm storms in the sky, and swiftly arrived before the two, transforming into a glowing sound transmission talisman.
"Long-Distance Altar transmission?"
Li Hao sat up straight and grabbed the sound transmission talisman in front of him.
"The Long-Distance Altar is not to be used unless it's an emergency. Which Realm Battlefield is in trouble?"
Chen Tong turned his head to look, and asked:
"Could it be that a War Mother Nest has grasped the opportunity to Break through its limits?"
But as soon as he finished speaking, he saw his companion's expression become strange.
"No..."
Li Hao shook his head with a half-smile, holding the slowly dissipating sound transmission talisman in his hand, and said:
"The Eastern Realm Battlefield is in an urgent situation. A Thirteen-Order Late Stage cultivator who suddenly appeared has reached the rear, already slaying over half of the servant soldiers created by the War Mother Nests, and is now directly approaching the main base."
"Those bugs are powerless to resist. They are asking us for help."
"What?"
Chen Tong frowned upon hearing this.
"The Eastern Realm Battlefield? Isn't that the most desolate place in this Lower Realm? Not even a single Thirteen-Order cultivator has ever been born there. Where did they get a Thirteen-Order Late Stage cultivator?"
"I don't know that."
Li Hao shook his head, his tone somewhat cold as he said:
"However, not long ago, a fellow named Zi Mo from the Demon Court came to the Eastern Domain, but his strength is only at the Middle Stage of the Third-Tier, which doesn't match this person."
"It seems some fellows are seeing us live too comfortably and are deliberately trying to make things difficult for us."
As he spoke, Li Hao had a half-smile, his expression full of mockery.
"First, inform the others of the situation and ask them what exactly they want to do?"
Chen Tong said coldly:
"This fellow who broke the rules must be immediately executed!"
"Among the three War Mother Nests in the Eastern Domain, two have no potential, but the one named Brague does have a slight possibility of peeking into the limits."
Hearing this, Li Hao stood up and asked:
"Then, who among us will act?"
"Together!"
"We've been here for almost a century, and it's not easy to get a chance to stretch our muscles."
...
The news that the demonic creatures entrenched in the Eastern Domain were on the verge of collapse quickly reached those who were qualified to know.
Southern Border, Yaoguang Main Realm.
Located at the center of the world, there is a gigantic Divine Mountain, almost as tall as the sky, reaching deep above the white clouds and touching the firmament, named Tian Dao Peak.
The entire Tian Dao Peak stood like a lofty Supreme, overlooking the entire world. Even though it was located at the four poles of the Yaoguang Main Realm, one could still feel the grandeur and massiveness of Tian Dao Peak.
On this gigantic mountain Peak, there were exquisite palaces everywhere, with pavilions and towers scattered in an orderly fashion, and clouds and mist swirling, resembling an immortal's abode.
This was the Holy Land of the entire Yaoguang Main Realm, and also, looking at the entire Lower Realm, the strongest Human Race force, the location of the Tian Dao Sect.
Boom!
On this day, on Tian Dao Peak, which exuded an aura of immortal harmony, a thunderous roar suddenly appeared.
Countless Tian Dao Sect Disciples looked up and saw that at the summit of the Peak, strong winds howled, and terrifying power fluctuations, like Heavenly Dao punishment, surged.
Upon closer inspection, one could vaguely see a slender and robust young man with unparalleled handsome features, exuding terrifying killing intent.
However, in the next second, the scene at the summit of the Peak was obscured by dense clouds.
"Envoy Ling Yun, may I ask what has happened to cause such anger?"
An old man with white beard and hair, also dressed in white robes, appeared in the clouds and came to the handsome young man's side.
The power fluctuations subtly emanating from him were more than a notch stronger than those of the handsome young man, but in front of the young man, he appeared extremely respectful.
If anyone from the Tian Dao Sect were to witness this scene, they would be utterly astonished.
Because this old man was none other than the sixteenth Sect Master of the Tian Dao Sect, the Thirteen-Order Peak expert Qi Guanhe.
"Fellow Daoist Qi, a Human Race Thirteen-Order Late Stage cultivator from the Eastern Domain has infiltrated the demonic creature's lair and is close to annihilating the demonic creatures entrenched there."
"Do you know about this?"
Upon seeing Qi Guanhe, the handsome young man Ling Yun asked with some displeasure.
"This... how could such a thing happen?"
Qi Guanhe was stunned upon hearing this, his white beard fluttering in surprise.
"Envoy, please understand, absolutely no Thirteen-Order Late Stage cultivator from the Southern Border would go to the Eastern Domain, not even a newly ascended Thirteen-Order cultivator!"
Qi Guanhe repeatedly assured him.
"I still believe Fellow Daoist Qi's words. Since this person is not from the Southern Border, then it must be related to those fellows from the Demon God Realm in the Northern Domain."
The handsome young man Ling Yun nodded slightly, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.
"The last time something happened in the Eastern Domain, Zi Mo from the Demon Court popped out and took on the task of guarding that area. I had suspected why he would be so kind before, and now it seems this fellow has ulterior motives."
He spoke coldly, his expression growing increasingly fierce.
Having been exiled to this resource-poor Lower Realm, Ling Yun, as an observer, was already displeased. Maintaining the stalemate and preserving the status quo already made him impatient.
Now, another fellow who wants to break the rules has appeared...
"Truly courting death!"
"Fellow Daoist Qi, I trouble you to accompany me to the Eastern Domain. I want to see which scoundrel is causing trouble for everyone!"
Ling Yun spoke, his eyes blazing with substantial killing intent.
