For a moment, no one spoke in the field, but Nie Ying's face changed color because of Mu Qianyin's sneer. For many years, no one dared to mock him in front of him like this.
"Yes, how many years has it been since no one dared to talk to me like this? Have I become accustomed to this? Where has the bloodiness gone?"
At this moment, Nie Ying couldn't help but think of a lot. He thought that when he first came to Zhanlingyuan, he was just a low-level cultivator who had not even broken through to the high-level Immortal Lord.
With his bravery and fearlessness, and his mind far beyond ordinary people, Nie Ying gradually reached the position of the Lord of Zhanling City. The history of his struggle in Zhanlingyuan is also a legendary history.
But Nie Ying asked himself, he had only fought a handful of times in recent years. This was not only due to the hidden rules of Zhanlingyuan, but also due to other reasons.
If a person has been at ease for a long time, he will naturally become slack. In addition, after reaching Nie Ying's level, he cannot easily take action. He has almost stayed in Zhanling City these years.
There is another reason, which perhaps Nie Ying himself is not aware of. Being a local overlord in Zhanlingyuan is not a pleasant thing at first.
It has to be said that after becoming the Lord of Zhanling City, Nie Ying no longer had the fierceness and drive that he had when he came to Zhanlingyuan. It seemed that everything had come to an end.
But is this really the case?
The peak of the third-grade God Emperor is only the highest combat power of this Zhanlingyuan. Although it is not considered weak when it comes to the entire Liyuan Realm, it is not comparable to the strong ones at higher levels.
Mu Qianyin's words were like a wake-up call to Nie Ying, shattering his comfortable mentality for many years.
He suddenly realized that he seemed to have taken the wrong path during this period.
The current level of cultivation is far from the peak of cultivation, but since Nie Ying broke through to the peak of the third-grade God Emperor, he has slacked off for a while, and he has a hidden heart that he does not want to break through to a higher realm.
Because once he breaks through to the fourth-grade God Emperor, Nie Ying can no longer stay in Zhanlingyuan, nor can he continue to be his local overlord. Between the worries of gains and losses, and without a pure heart, how can he break through?
"This...maybe this is the knot in my heart that I haven't been able to break through!"
Nie Ying suddenly realized that he was unwilling to admit it and had been attacking the fourth-grade God Emperor all these years, but he could never make any progress.
Perhaps now it seems that it was because of the inner demons that he was not even aware of.
"That's not the case!"
If those things before were just Nie Ying's mental activities, those shouts that burst out of his mouth shocked everyone, including the disappointed Mu Qianyin.
"This is Zhanlingyuan. Even if the three top sects want to kill people in Zhanlingyuan, they have to ask me, Nie Yingtong, if I agree!"
At this moment, Nie Ying seemed to be exuding a domineering aura, which gave Zhan Lei Haoqing and others a very special feeling, and a sense of familiarity that they had not seen for a long time.
Nie Ying stayed in Zhanling City these years without leaving the city. Not only did he not realize it, but even Zhan Lei, his old comrades who had worked with him for many years, seemed to have overlooked a problem.
That is the Nie Ying who has been in these years. He no longer has the domineering spirit of going forward.
And when he followed him to conquer the world, his fierceness may be the real reason why Zhan Lei Haoqing and others followed him.
However, it was a gradual process before, and even Nie Ying himself was not aware of it. What's more, these outsiders, Zhan Lingyuan's unusual calmness, made them subconsciously accept this fact.
It was only at this moment, when they saw the long-lost aura on Nie Ying, that they were surprised to find something different, and at the same time they felt a hint of excitement.
With Nie Ying regaining this domineering spirit, his future achievements will be limitless.
At this time, the aura emanating from Nie Ying's body, coupled with his words, made all the human cultivators excited.
Yes, this is Zhanlingyuan, a place where the three major clans fight against each other. Even the three top sects must abide by the rules of Zhanlingyuan and cannot use their power to overwhelm others.
Most of the cultivators who were watching had a sense of pride. It seemed that the Zhanlingyuan human race was an independent force. Even if the strongest one was only at the peak of the third-grade God Emperor, he would never allow others to underestimate him.
“Don’t overestimate your own capabilities!”
Of course, this does not include Gu Yan who lowered his head.
There was a hint of disdain in his eyes, and there was even a hint of schadenfreude. His hidden gaze towards a graceful figure in black was filled with a hint of sneer.
Because Mu Qianyin’s intention was to make Zhan Lingyuan a refuge for Yun Xiao.
But Gu Yan knew clearly that once the news about him spread back to the sect, Nie Ying alone would be like a mantis trying to defeat the chariot.
Moreover, when the powerful men from the sect arrive, if I add more fuel and jealousy, the woman who embarrassed me in the main hall of the city lord's palace may not be able to bear it anymore.
But under such circumstances, Gu Yan would not show it.
At this moment, Nie Ying was full of momentum, and Yun Xiao had become Zhan Lingyuan's new belief. If he dared to show any dissatisfaction, he might be torn into pieces by the angry crowd.
"Xingchen, don't worry, as long as you stay in Zhanlingyuan, no one will dare to harm you, unless... Nie Ying dies first!"
Naturally, Nie Ying didn't know about Gu Yan's dirty thoughts. Seeing him calm down a bit, he spoke sternly to the young man in black, which moved many people.
Especially after Nie Ying said his last words, a faint breath came down from the sky, causing everyone's expressions to change dramatically. This was tantamount to making a vow of heavenly calamity.
"City Lord Nie is serious, he hasn't reached that point yet!"
Yun Xiao also felt grateful in his heart. Just a cultivator at the peak of the third-grade God Emperor could do this for him. He was also flesh and blood and had emotions.
Only at this moment did he truly believe Nie Ying.
Before, Yun Xiao had always been on guard against everyone, whether it was Li Tomuling and Han Luoying on the surface, Mu Qianyin who was hiding his identity, or even those in the City Lord's Mansion who might have guessed his identity.
Yun Xiao knew that after his amazing performance, his original identity could not escape the eyes of some caring people.
What's more, after the battle in Shifang City, many foreign spirits knew that he was Yun Xiao under the pseudonym Xingchen.
But at this moment, Nie Ying gave him an extremely unexpected feeling.
A third-grade God Emperor who was a casual cultivator in Zhanlingyuan was not afraid of such a behemoth as the Lieyang Palace and the Moon God Palace. This was somewhat beyond his expectation.
"The battle has been brutal, so let's take a break first. Looking at the attitude of the Tartary Buckwheat clone, after suffering such a big loss, he probably won't let it go!"
Yun Xiao did not want to say more on this topic. He glanced at the western sky with a somewhat gloomy look. His calm words contained countless potential meanings.
The previous excitement dissipated, and for a while, the human camp seemed a little dull.
After the silence, some cultivators slowly ran towards the west and ran into the pile of dead people with an extremely bloody smell.
"Master Xiao Gui, Lu Qi will take you home!"
Somewhere on the battlefield, Lu Qi, the first-grade God Emperor from the Sixth District, pulled the corpse on the ground and finally pulled out a bloody waist. Listening to his words, everyone passing by was moved.
In the previous fierce battle, the leader of the sixth district, Xiao Gui, was defeated by the powerful second-grade divine emperor of the supernatural spirit. In the end, he blew himself up and died together with the powerful supernatural spirit. Nie Ying and others saw it.
As a result, it can be said that Xiao Gui's body is gone. Even if Lu Qi wants to find a piece of his flesh, it is impossible. He can only find this waist that belongs to Xiao Gui and let him return to his roots.
In the future six districts, there will inevitably be other second-grade God Emperors who will come to take charge. However, Lu Qi, who has followed Xiao Gui for many years, couldn't help but feel a little disheartened and left the melee without saying a word.
Scenes like this are happening almost every moment.
Some living practitioners hold broken limbs in their hands. When their relatives and friends will never survive, the grief will be contagious.
After this brutal battle, the human side was seriously injured. If Yun Xiao hadn't rushed back with the humans from District 18, there's no telling how bad the situation would have been.
"Is this Zhanlingyuan?"
Yun Xiao was also quite emotional about this. To be honest, although he had heard about the tragedy of Zhan Lingyuan, he had always had the upper hand since he came to Zhan Lingyuan and had never seen such a scene.
For example, during the dark night sneak attack on the Oasis camp, Yun Xiao arrived in time to save Song and the others. As for the other three camps that were destroyed, he did not see it with his own eyes.
Later, Yun Xiao showed off his power, starting from Shifang City, destroying several cities of foreign spirits, and finally defeating the third-level God Emperor on the side of foreign spirits.
It was only at this moment that Yun Xiao truly saw the true tragedy of Zhan Lingyuan.
Those piles of corpses were probably lucky. More human cultivators chose to self-destruct when they knew they were outmatched, just like Xiao Gui in the Sixth District.
"This is how ethnic conflict is, and I don't know how many more years it will continue?"
Nie Ying had seen a lot, so he couldn't help but sigh after hearing this.
Even so, he knew clearly in his heart that if he wanted this war to end, he would have to wait until one side was completely destroyed.
"Hehe, maybe a powerful God Emperor will appear in the future and suppress the three major ethnic groups from fighting anymore?"
Mu Qianyin was full of whims, and when they heard the two titles in her mouth that made people awe-inspiring just by hearing them, everyone seemed a little silent and didn't take them too seriously at all.
The powerful God Emperor is just a legend!
At least for ten thousand years, there has never been a powerful God Emperor in the Nine Dragons Continent.
That is a level higher than the peak of the ninth-grade God Emperor. If such a strong person really appears, he may really be able to change the current chaotic situation.
