For example, Shen Wannian, the first genius of the Qi Yu Sect in Yufeng Empire, and the geniuses of the Four Great Empires such as Thundering Wind Jingshan and Youlong Yulan, each lost the opportunity to compete for the championship of the Hidden Dragon Club of All Nations because of Yun Xiao.
Now that Yun Xiao is rising powerfully, the geniuses of the empire who have quarrels with him are inevitably in danger. Even if Yun Xiao has no intention of causing trouble for them, they still need to be on guard against others.
Only by smothering potential threatening enemies in their infancy can we defeat them once and for all. With the Yuhu Sect now led by Yun Xiao and the national power of the Xuanyue Empire, no empire dares to say that it can destroy it alone.
As for the last Black Star Empire, it has been the sworn enemy of the Xuanyue Empire for many years. From the names of the two empires, one is Xuanyue and the other is Black Star, we know that they have always been incompatible with each other since the beginning of their establishment.
How could Nie Wenchang easily forget about such an empire that hated the Xuanyue Empire to the core? Therefore, the eight empires hit it off immediately, creating an unprecedented alliance.
But at this moment, neither the Yuhu Sect nor the royal family of the Xuanyue Empire have any awareness of the imminent disaster. They only know that the Xuanyue Empire is now at its peak. I am afraid that no empire dares to provoke it easily, right?
In fact, their guess was correct. No empire dared to provoke the Xuanyue Empire alone, but this time the eight empires joined forces. If they were not careful, I am afraid that soon there would be no Xuanyue Empire on the Qianlong Continent. The name of the country.

Li Yuanjie!
This is a higher plane than Jiuzhong Longxiao. Even some of the Saint-level three-level experts from Jiuzhong Longxiao have never heard of such a place. They all think that Jiuzhong Longxiao is already Jiulong. The highest level of the continent.
There are three top forces in Liyuan Realm, namely Lieyang Palace, Moon God Palace and Star Reaching Tower. However, in front of the entrance of Star Reaching Tower today, a graceful figure in black appeared, which made people guarding the door. The two guards hurriedly saluted respectfully.
Because this black girl is none other than Shen Xingmou, a peerless genius who is said to be rare in a millennium by Zhaixinglou. Her status in Zhaixinglou is second only to the building owner and the top elders, including some inner building deacons. , you have to give him some face.
Shen Xingmou seemed to be thinking about something, and did not care about the respect of the two guards, but went straight into the building. It is worth mentioning that since the entire Star Reaching Tower is named after the word "building", it is naturally a towering tower. A tall building.
However, the Star-Zhaing Tower is different from the high-rise buildings in Jiuzhong Longxiao. The topless floors seem to stand above the clouds. I wonder what kind of extraordinary people are on the top floor?
Shen Xingmou, who returned to the Star-Zhaing Building, did not just go back to his room to rest. Instead, after sensing the direction, he suddenly walked down the floor. His starry eyes flickered, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"Ah, it's Miss Xingmu!"
When Shen Xing's eyes went down to the second floor underground, a middle-aged man with sharp eyes who looked like a small boss jumped up immediately, with a respectful look on his face, as if he was born with it.
"Miss Xingmu, how come you are so troubled to come to this filthy place? All you need to do is bring someone to spread the word, and I will take care of everything for you!"
However, this person didn't have much fear. He smiled and said a lot. Of course, these words were still compliments. In fact, he didn't understand how Miss Xingmu would be interested in a place like this.
come over?
"Let me ask you, in the past few years, has there been a prisoner captured from the lower world? Well, he is a woman!"
A thin figure in rough clothes appeared in Shen Xingmou's mind involuntarily. He asked such a question out of nowhere, and then he saw an incredulous look on the person in front of him.
In fact, the second underground floor of the Zhaixing Building is a place where prisoners are detained. As the person said, it is a place where filth and evil practices are hidden. The people imprisoned here have either offended the Zhaixing Building or others.
The reason is, in short, if you enter here, you will never want to go out again in this life.
This person did not expect that Miss Xingmou would ask about this matter when she came. Thinking of the woman who was sent by someone a few years ago, his heart couldn't help but make some guesses.
"Why are you so stunned? Are you there?"
Seeing that this man seemed to be stunned, Shen Xing's eyes flashed, and his tone became much colder and harsher. When he shouted, the man was startled.
"Yes, yes, that was delivered by Deacon Ning personally more than three years ago. Does Miss Xingmou want to interrogate this person?"
Hearing this, the man did not dare to be negligent, but as the steward of the Star-Zhailing Tower dungeon, he had to ask one more question, and then he saw the face of the star-eyed lady darken.
"Nonsense, I am here in person, am I here to see you?" Shen Xingmou suppressed the impulse in her heart, scolded her in a cold voice, and then said, "Why don't you lead the way?"
"Yes, yes, Miss Xingmou, please come over here!"
Thinking of this person's status and strong temperament, the steward had already forgotten about the so-called "Deacon Ning" and led Shen Xingmou inside.
"I said, you didn't abuse her, right?"
Shen Xingmou, who had followed for a few steps, suddenly asked this question, which made the steward's expression become extremely strange, as if he didn't understand why he would ask such a question.
Most of the prisoners imprisoned here have offended the Zhaixing Tower, and some of them also have special reasons. How can they not be mistreated when they come here? They may even be tortured to extract confessions, which is miserable.
Many people could not bear the torture in Zhaixing Tower and were tortured to death. From the perspective of those who own the Zhaixing Tower, this place is just a place where criminals are detained. However, from the perspective of outsiders, this place is no different from a hell on earth. No one wants to
I was caught and brought to this place.
But in the past, Shen Xingmou only cared about cultivation, so how could she pay attention to such a dirty place? If it weren't for Yun Xiao, she would never have set foot in the cell on the second floor underground of the Star-Zhailing Building.
"say!"
Seeing that the steward fell into silence again, Shen Xing's eyes sank, and his voice became much colder. He even felt a sense of fear rising up, fearing that what he saw was a lifeless corpse.
"That...Miss Xingmu, I have never abused her, but in the past few years, Deacon Ning has come here several times, so I should...should..."
Being glared at by Shen Xingmu, the steward's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help but secretly rejoice. Fortunately, he didn't care about a prisoner from the lower realm. Otherwise, judging from the tone of this young lady, he might have been unable to bear the burden and walked away.
So the steward kept an eye on it. If Shen Xingmou saw the woman's injuries later, he wouldn't blame him. If he wanted to find out, he would just go find Deacon Ning.
"Go faster!"
Hearing what the steward said, Shen Xingmou's face under the black gauze became even more ugly. At the same time, he felt a lot of resentment towards Deacon Ning for no reason, and he didn't know where this emotion came from.
You must know that Shen Xingmou in the past never cared about such noisy matters, but ever since she went to Qianlong Continent and had physical contact with that inexplicable young man, her thoughts were really confused during this period, and it seemed that she could not forget it for a moment.
That figure in rough clothes.
So once he returned to the Star-Zhaing Tower, Shen Xingmou didn't even have time to report the details of the lower world to his teacher, so he ended up in the dungeon of the Star-Zhai Tower by accident.
Perhaps in Shen Xingmou's heart, if Yun Xiao's mother really died in Zhaixing Tower, then the two of them would really become enemies, right?
Even though Shen Xingmou had wanted to put Yunxiao to death many times, but after that one time, her thoughts changed subtly. She had to save Yunxiao's mother's life no matter what.
Crunch!
The sound of the iron door opening was strangely clear in this dungeon, and the first thing Shen Xingmou saw when he just walked in was a figure with disheveled hair and a somewhat sluggish aura.
However, this figure's back was facing Shen Xingmou, so she could not see its appearance clearly, but even so, she still sensed a vague familiarity from this figure's weak aura, as if she had seen it somewhere.
"I have long said that even if you kill me, I will not tell you anything. I advise you to give up on this!"
As if hearing the footsteps coming from behind, the figure spoke without looking back, but her voice was a little hoarse, as if even her throat had been hurt. Shen Xingmou's body shook slightly when she heard it.
trembling.
"Get out of here!"
Unable to express his annoyance, Shen Xing caught a glimpse of the hesitant look on the steward's face from the corner of his eye. He immediately shouted loudly, causing the steward to panic and roll out of the cell without even daring to take a breath.
"This matter must be reported to Deacon Ning immediately!"
The steward who came out of the cell finally had this thought in his mind. He couldn't afford to offend the young lady in front of him, but Deacon Ning was not a nobody. If anything happened, he would not be able to bear the consequences if they were investigated.
Walking.
Shen Xingmou, who was in the cell, didn't pay any attention to the steward who disappeared at the door. He saw her slowly take two steps and finally asked tremblingly: "You...is your name Shang Li?"
"Who are you?"
Suddenly hearing this name that seemed so far away, the figure turned around suddenly, revealing an extremely pale face with a few bloodstains, but it was not the mother of Yunxiao, who was the merchant Shang Li?
At this time, more than three years have passed since the original disaster of annihilation of the merchant family, and Shang Li, who was captured by the tall and thin old man and brought back to Zhaixing Tower, has suffered endless torture in the past three years.
Shang Li was just a lowly cultivator from the Qianlong Continent. The torture in Zhaixing Tower really made her worse than death. But every time she thought about her precious children, she persevered because she still dreamed of being with Yun.
