In the East Sea Mystic Realm.

He ignored the low-level spiritual herbs around him and walked straight into the lush forest.

It was obvious that when they walked towards the forest, Liu Nanzhi and Zhao Honglian kept their guard up and looked around from time to time.

It was no wonder. After all, before entering the mystic realm, they could see that all the geniuses of the Southern Region had arrived. Moreover, the phenomenon caused by the opening of the mystic realm had spread throughout the entire Southern Region.

No one could guarantee whether there were some unknown dangers in this mystic realm.

However, compared to the two women’s vigilance, Shen Ran was calmer and walked forward unhurriedly.

At the same time, he recalled the opportunities he had checked on Ji Qinglin and the other geniuses when he entered the mystic realm.

Among them, the ones that concerned him the most were the Nine Revolutions Immortal Dust Pill and the Sky-Flipping Seal. Chen Beixuan had obtained the elixir and Ji Qinglin had obtained the Sky-Flipping Seal.

In other words, as long as he encountered the two of them next, he would just have to pay more attention.

As she walked, Liu Nanzhi looked around. A faint smile appeared on her exquisite face. Under the light of her gaze, she looked even more glamorous.

Liu Nanzhi’s lips gently parted as she slowly said, “Although this is a mystic realm, the environment here is really good. If I can live here, it will definitely be great.”

As Liu Nanzhi spoke, she could not help but glance at Shen Ran from the corner of her eye.

Shen Ran did not notice, but Zhao Honglian saw it clearly.

Therefore, Zhao Honglian also smiled gently. “It doesn’t matter where you live. What’s important is who you’re with.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Liu Nanzhi immediately turned to look at her.

The two women were about to engage in an argument.

Suddenly.

“Don’t speak!”

As soon as Shen Ran had warned them, the two women’s eyes narrowed.

They saw Shen Ran looking west, as if he was listening to something.

A moment later, Shen Ran’s voice sounded again.

“There is tangled warfare in the west, and there are also a lot of natural treasures.”

As he spoke, Shen Ran also walked towards the west.

The two women naturally followed behind.

And as they passed through the dense forest, they immediately saw a group of people engaged in confused fighting straight ahead.

Among them, a few eighth level Illumination Realm experts were attacking a group of cultivators in similar white robes.

Moreover, it could be seen that those white-robed cultivators were retreating step by step under the enemy’s attack. They were unable to resist at all and were about to be killed.

It was these white-robed cultivators that made Zhao Honglian and Liu Nanzhi exclaim in unison.

“They’re disciples of the Empyrean Sword Sect!”

Just as the two of them exclaimed, Shen Ran had already turned into a shadow and rushed over.

In the blink of an eye, he arrived at the periphery of this group of people.

Shen Ran’s sudden appearance instantly attracted the attention of this group of people.

When the disciples of the Empyrean Sword Sect saw Shen Ran, their faces revealed deep excitement.

“Your Highness…”

“Your Highness, be careful. Although these people are itinerant cultivators, they are extremely powerful!”

The itinerant cultivators also turned their attention to Shen Ran.

One of the sword cultivators looked at Shen Ran with disdain.

There was already an eye-catching scar on the sword cultivator’s face. Now that he revealed a disdainful expression, it made his face look so ugly.

He looked at Shen Ran and said coldly, “Dao Seed of the Empyrean Sword Sect?”

As soon as he finished speaking, he shook his head again. “Others are afraid of you, but I’m not afraid of you!”

As he spoke, his eyes were filled with killing intent as he kept glancing at Zhao Honglian and Liu Nanzhi, as if he wanted to eat them up.

He was not the only one. The itinerant cultivators beside him also saw the two women and their eyes cast covetous looks at them.

At this moment, the commotion attracted more and more cultivators.

When they heard the name of Dao Tianzhen, their expressions changed.

“Dao Tianzhen! It’s actually Dao Tianzhen!”

“This Dao Tianzhen is a completely ruthless person. Although he’s an itinerant cultivator, the itinerant cultivators he befriends are quite famous in the entire Southern Region.”

“That’s right. This Dao Tianzhen is already very talented. It’s said that he has mastered his saber technique at a young age. If not for the fact that he was born as an itinerant cultivator, with his talent, he would definitely be considered a prodigy in a large family.”

“Not only that, but Dao Tianzhen is known for being ruthless.”

“Everyone in the Southern Region knows that Dao Tianzhen likes to kill people and women the most. It’s even rumored that every time he toyed with a woman, he would kill her ruthlessly. He’s a ruthless person.”

“Dao Tianzhen is at the ninth level of the Illumination Realm, and Shen Ran is only at the sixth level of the Illumination Realm. The two of them are both geniuses. I’m afraid Shen Ran is doomed in this battle.”

“That’s not all. Other than that, Dao Tianzhen has many helpers. On the other hand, the disciples of the Empyrean Sword Sect are not enough.”

“It’s a pity about these two beauties.”

“…”

As the voices around him sounded, Shen Ran narrowed his eyes and locked onto Dao Tianzhen.

Dao Tianzhen also stared at Shen Ran with a mocking expression. “Shen Ran, on account that you’re a Dao Seed of the Empyrean Sword Sect, I’ll give face to the Empyrean Sword Sect. As long as you take the initiative to hand over these two women, I’ll spare your life.”

His lackeys behind him echoed.

Hearing Dao Tianzhen’s words, Shen Ran only shook his head and said softly, “Oh.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Ran’s robe rose without the wind, and a surging sharp aura instantly erupted.

“Clang!”

An ear-piercing clang sounded, and everyone felt a sharp pain in their ears.

With the sound, a shadow flashed past.

As the afterimage flickered, a monstrous sharp aura suddenly erupted.

So fast!

Dao Tianzhen’s eyes suddenly narrowed, and his reaction was not slow either. The saber in his hand flickered, and a powerful force erupted into the sky.

Looking at Shen Ran, who was rushing over, Dao Tianzhen slashed down with his saber.

At the same time, Shen Ran charged over.

The three-foot-long green peak bloomed with light, and the sword intent spun, causing the surrounding void to tremble.

The sword and saber collided instantly.

What followed was the clang of metal.

After the sound, and before the surrounding onlookers could react, they saw a figure being sent flying.

The person who was sent flying was Dao Tianzhen.

“Ah! So powerful?”

“As expected of the Dao Seed of the Empyrean Sword Sect. With such a huge difference in cultivation, this sword strike actually sent Dao Tianzhen flying.”

“No, he was too fast for Dao Tianzhen to react.”

“Next, Dao Tianzhen has to be serious. The show has just begun.”
